| Jordan_U | hakuga I have never used Foobar 2000, and haven't used Amarok much, but for a very customisable player Amarok is probably a good choice. | 00:03 |
| hakuga | ok thanks Jordan_U | 00:05 |

| paul_beginner | a lot of help pages tell me to install the ubuntu restricted extras from the softwarecenter. now when I start the install, ubuntu says I need to remove two items first. not so sure what to do now :S | 00:06 |
| vedrit | Ok, I was looking through the log for samba, and when I try and connect to the shared drive from my Windows machine, I see "param/loadparm.c:9114(process_usershare_file) process_usershare_file: stat of /var(Long directoy listing)/shared drive failed. Permission denied." | 00:06 |
| Jordan_U | paul_beginner: What two packages? | 00:07 |
| PoolShark_1 | hi | 00:07 |
| basant | hello everyone. this is simply eating my brains. I can see a text file ( generated via my guest ubuntu in vbox on host win 7). It never even hiccups when I open the file and issue a print but if I try to set up an automated printing all hell breaks loose. Can someone help me get the automatic printing setup or pointers for it esp how to include another folder in the win 7 spooler. | 00:08 |
| Guest61520 | how do i turn on my wifi switch from the terminal??? | 00:10 |
| vedrit | I think I see the problem with samba. It says it's the master browser for subnet 192.168.1.26, which is the local IP for the machine | 00:11 |

| Jordan_U | !rootirc | root__ | 00:12 |
| ubottu | root__: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. | 00:12 |
| wilee-nilee | paul_beginner, So what is your motivation for using aptitude? | 00:12 |
| paul_beginner | since its the first time I run ubuntu i read through some help2install pages and the suggested me to install the package. | 00:14 |
| paul_beginner | they | 00:14 |
| wilee-nilee | paul_beginner, As new user t I would not advise it, I have never used it in 6 years, lool closer at these sources and the dates, you are getting into an arae that will do nothing but cause a new user troubles, and an exsperienced user headaches. | 00:15 |
| paul_beginner | okay thanks :) then I just let it as it is | 00:16 |
| PoolShark_1 | I'm having mdadm RAID UUID issues: http://pastebin.com/2EvxxULq ... seems the wrong UUID is being picked up from /dev/md0 for some reason | 00:16 |
| wilee-nilee | paul_beginner, AS far as the libavcodec53 I would make sure the restricted extras get installed that is all you basically need. | 00:17 |
| sifu_ | why would rm -rf folderName not remove the folder but keep giving this error: cannot remove folder name is a directory? | 00:18 |
| wilee-nilee | paul_beginner, http://askubuntu.com/questions/153884/why-does-ubuntu-restricted-extras-want-to-remove-some-libav-packages | 00:18 |
| paul_beginner | ty | 00:18 |
| wilee-nilee | no problem it can be confusing. paul_beginner | 00:19 |
| wilee-nilee | !details | sifu_ | 00:19 |
| ubottu | sifu_: 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 ..." | 00:19 |
| paul_beginner | especially when you're used to windows simple stuff haha | 00:19 |
| wilee-nilee | ;) | 00:20 |
| pumafied | paul_beginner: "simple" | 00:20 |
| paul_beginner | going to bed now :) thanks for all the help. see you tomorrow I guess | 00:20 |
| vedrit | How do I install from a downloaded tar.gz? | 00:21 |
| === dean is now known as dean|away | ||
| reisio | vedrit: install what? | 00:21 |
| vedrit | I'm trying to install a teamspeak server | 00:21 |
| === Le is now known as cjopcjop | ||
| reisio | you can install teamspeak-server from software center | 00:22 |
| sifu_ | wilee-nilee I tried removing a folder that has multiple subfolders that may or may not be empty, it is 12.04. The command I used is this: rm -rf folderName. The output i get is this: rm: cannot remove 'folderName/folder1': Is a directory | 00:22 |
| vedrit | Well, for curiousity's sake, how would I go about installing a downloaded tar.gz | 00:22 |
| PoolShark_1 | sifu_: do you have the necessary permissions to delete folder1? | 00:22 |
| sifu_ | i am root | 00:22 |
| sifu_ | still same issue | 00:22 |
| reisio | vedrit: well, a tar.gz is a lot like a zip file | 00:23 |
| reisio | vedrit: 's'got stuff in it | 00:23 |
| reisio | vedrit: depends on what's inside how you'd install it | 00:23 |
| wilee-nilee | sifu_, What OS is this? | 00:23 |
| vedrit | Hmm.... | 00:23 |
| sifu_ | Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit. | 00:23 |
| wilee-nilee | sifu_, When you say I am root do you mean from the terminal? | 00:24 |
| sifu_ | yes | 00:24 |
| wilee-nilee | sifu_, Cool, not sure why you would be removing stuff that way, are you sure you have a clue in this area. ;) | 00:25 |
| sifu_ | yes | 00:25 |
| sifu_ | was working just a while ago | 00:25 |
| h00k | vedrit: If it's something to compile, you can check notes at !compile, but it really depends on what is inside | 00:25 |
| cjopcjop | /window log on | 00:25 |
| wilee-nilee | well as long as you think so, I'm not sure you do. | 00:25 |
| sifu_ | just having a nightmare trying to setup the vagrant box with ubuntu | 00:25 |
| h00k | !compile | vedrit | 00:25 |
| ubottu | vedrit: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first). Also read !checkinstall | 00:25 |
| vedrit | Anyway to know if it's already compiled? | 00:26 |
| unvrect | hi to all. How can I make a usb drive read-writable on a Live distro? I already tried with -o remount,rw | 00:26 |
| === PoolShark_1 is now known as PoolShark_ | ||
| Jordan_U | sifu_: Does this happen with any directories or only one specific problematic directory? | 00:27 |
| sifu_ | hmm have not tried on other directories | 00:27 |
| Jordan_U | unvrect: Please pastebin the contents of /proc/mounts and the output of "dmesg". Most likely the filesystem is damaged and needs to be fixed before it can be mounted rw. | 00:28 |
| sifu_ | hmm | 00:28 |
| sifu_ | okey | 00:28 |
| lgc | hi, how can I rescue my Windows partition without restoring my machine and blowing away my Ubuntu? | 00:28 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, Can you give more details | 00:29 |
| Jordan_U | lgc: Why does your Windows partition need rescuing? | 00:29 |
| dr_willis | get windows working first tben worry about ubuntu | 00:30 |
| pumafied | Jordan_U: It always needs rescueing with linux (; | 00:30 |
| wilee-nilee | !fud | pumafied | 00:30 |
| ubottu | pumafied: Please do not fall prey to, or spread FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) - it is not welcome here! Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty_and_doubt | 00:30 |
| lgc | wilee-nilee, Jordan_U, after I installed my Ubuntu it won't start. There's an entry on the grub menu (actually, the Windows partition appears to be on /dev/sda2(!!) and the recovery partition on /dev/sda1. The latter brings me to the machine recovery menu).) | 00:31 |
| pumafied | I dont think that really applies to what I said | 00:31 |
| wilee-nilee | pumafied, The two posts you have made have no support attached this is support, not opinions or chat. | 00:32 |
| dr_willis | lgc: so if you boot sda1 what does it do? | 00:32 |
| sifu_ | Jordan_U it was something to do with the vagrant mess up…logged in from vagrant and could delete it | 00:32 |
| sifu_ | thanks anyway | 00:33 |
| pumafied | I suppose where is ubuntu chat I would have assumbed #ubuntu would be the chat | 00:33 |
| dr_willis | windows normakky has its own version of a biit partition and its main os partition | 00:33 |
| wilee-nilee | pumafied, #ubuntu-offtopic ;) | 00:33 |
| lgc | dr_willis: "Windows is loading files...". Starting Windows -> Gateway Recovery Management. | 00:33 |
| pumafied | Ah thanks | 00:33 |
| dr_willis | lcg so sda1 is the gateway restore partion. | 00:34 |
| dr_willis | lcg sda2 is your c: drive? | 00:34 |
| lgc | dr_willis: It shouldn't, should it? | 00:34 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, This a manufacturers install of windows and what release? | 00:35 |
| dr_willis | lgc: if gateway made it that way.. yes | 00:35 |
| lgc | dr_willis: /dev/sda1 should be the normal Windows partition, I gather. | 00:35 |
| dr_willis | lgc not allways | 00:35 |
| lgc | It's Windows 7, wilee-nilee . | 00:35 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, More tha likely th boot partition, that may be what dr_willis means | 00:36 |
| dr_willis | mount the partitions and look and see whats on them to find out | 00:36 |
| lgc | dr_willis: how so? I resized Windows, but I haven't moved it around. | 00:36 |
| damianos | How can I change the x11 cursor theme manually as in without any gui or desktop environment specific utility? | 00:36 |
| dr_willis | damianos: i saw ways to do that on the arch lunux wiki pages last week. ;-) | 00:37 |
| lgc | dr_willis: I can't mount /dev/sda1 | 00:37 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, Have you moved the boot flag, also known as the active partition in windows? | 00:37 |
| lgc | wilee-nilee: not that I remember... | 00:37 |
| dr_willis | lgc you may want to be asking about this in #windows also | 00:37 |
| quackers | evening peeps! | 00:38 |
| ismdeep__ | e | 00:38 |
| damianos | pity that doesn't show up in google | 00:38 |
| lgc | dr_willis: Thanks, I'll do that if I don't get the help here, of course. | 00:38 |
| quackers | I was wondering if somebody could give me a terminal command that would confirm which of my graphics cards I am currently using? | 00:39 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, I would run the bootrepair app, just the bootinfo summary and post the generated url here, it will give a lot more info. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 00:39 |
| dr_willis | damianos: i found it via google i recall | 00:39 |
| vedrit | Alright, so it turns out the Teamspeak server just needed to be extracted, but when I execute one of the included .sh files, it says the included executable is not executable. Anyone familiar with TS3 servers? | 00:39 |
| wilee-nilee | quackers, What up homey. ;) | 00:39 |
| quackers | wilee-nilee, how are you? | 00:39 |
| wilee-nilee | good | 00:39 |
| ismdeep__ | <wilee-nilee> | 00:40 |
| quackers | excellent | 00:40 |
| dr_willis | vedrit: so make it executable. | 00:40 |
| vedrit | Oh, right, haha | 00:40 |
| quackers | wilee-nilee, I'm unsure which graphics card Ubuntu is using - it's on a macbook pro retina | 00:40 |
| dr_willis | !permissions | 00:40 |
| ubottu | An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 00:40 |
| vedrit | Except... it won't let me | 00:40 |
| damianos | ok well we all know by now that what google serves up to you in a search will be different than what they show me. Anything I've found always points to ~/.Xdefaults. I'd like to do it globally and make it the default for my desktop environment | 00:40 |
| wilee-nilee | quackers, You have ubuntu installed? | 00:40 |
| lgc | wilee-nilee: Thanks, let me take a look at it! | 00:40 |
| quackers | yes boss | 00:41 |
| wilee-nilee | quackers, Lok with lspci | 00:41 |
| wilee-nilee | look | 00:41 |
| quackers | wilee-nilee, lspci lists the nVidia card but I don't think the system is using that one - need to confirm | 00:41 |
| dr_willis | damianos: arch linux wiki covered that i recall. i just stumbled upon it for another guy | 00:41 |
| damianos | k, I'll go look again | 00:42 |
| damianos | thanks | 00:42 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, The bootinfo summary is all you should run to begin with we can see whats up without a ton of questions just post the generated url. | 00:42 |
| wilee-nilee | quackers, Is that a dual graphic card thing, I'm not really up on graphic drivers. | 00:42 |
| quackers | wilee-nilee, yes, neither am I :-) | 00:42 |
| dr_willis | apples have optimus? not noticed that befor | 00:43 |
| wilee-nilee | quackers, If your looking for real abuse use the mac channel, and mention ubuntu. ;) | 00:44 |
| quackers | wilee-nilee, I'll pass on that, thanks :-) | 00:44 |
| wilee-nilee | I don't think apple uses optimus just wondered is all | 00:44 |
| quackers | no, not optimus, just an onboard card and a nvidia GT650m | 00:45 |
| quackers | it's a retina macbbok pro | 00:45 |
| wilee-nilee | quackers, nice to see you, time for din din here, gotta hit the Thai food cart close by. | 00:48 |
| quackers | wilee-nilee, ok, have fun! Nice to be back here! | 00:48 |
| lgc | wilee-nilee: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6008538/ | 00:53 |
| vedrit | I can't seem to force the executable to be executable by anything | 00:53 |
| Extreminador | hi guys | 00:54 |
| reisio | hi Extreminador | 00:55 |
| Extreminador | how can i open the options menu in firefox ? | 00:55 |
| quackers | Extreminador, what exactly do you want to change? | 00:56 |
| Extreminador | i would like to open the last pages i was on vefore turn off firefox | 00:56 |
| Extreminador | like is i have 3 sites open last time... when i open next i wuld like to open them again | 00:57 |
| edgesaurus | im sorry dave | 00:57 |
| quackers | Extreminador, have a look in the history tab - there's an option I think to re-open the last windows | 00:57 |
| vedrit | dr_willis: I have user ownership over the files and folders, but when I enter in the commands to add execute permission, it doesn't seem to stick | 00:57 |
| SikZwei | Hi, I have Anthy installed but I seem unable to use it, pressing Ctrl+Space does nothing, and trying to switch through the menu doesn't work either. At some point I got it to switch, but Anthy got stuck and ate 100% CPU time. I think it broke after a recent update. Can somebody help me? This is important, I talk to Japanese people on a daily basis. | 00:58 |
| Extreminador | quackers let me check | 00:59 |
| trism | SikZwei: does it work in say, gedit? when you mentioned this the other day I noticed I can't get mozc to work in gnome-terminal anymore (and it was working a while ago), but it still works in gedit | 00:59 |
| quackers | Extreminador, if you close FF then re-open it and then look in the history tab you'll see the option iirc | 01:00 |
| SikZwei | trism: let me check, I think gedit may have been how it locked up | 01:00 |
| SikZwei | trism: nope, not anymore either | 01:00 |
| histo | Extreminador: ctrl+h | 01:00 |
| SikZwei | But now I can't even get it to switch to Anthy and lock up like I did yesterday, so :/ | 01:00 |
| Extreminador | ahhh i see what you mean | 01:01 |
| Extreminador | it will not open automaticaly... | 01:01 |
| Extreminador | but ok it's a good tip yehh | 01:01 |
| SikZwei | Also I saw a bug report regarding a similar issue from like a week ago or so, I can't seem to find the link again though x_x I think it may be the same issue though. | 01:01 |
| Extreminador | it was not this what i was looking for but... guess it will have to do for now | 01:01 |
| lgc | wilee-nilee: what gives? | 01:02 |
| SikZwei | Does anybody else have any clues on the Anthy issue? | 01:02 |
| vedrit | Even when I try to add execute permissions as Root, it doesn't seem to make any difference. I still can't execute the file | 01:03 |
| SikZwei | ...disregard what I said, Anthy is eating up all CPU time again and I haven't even switched to it yet -_-' | 01:03 |
| histo | vedrit: what file and what are you trying to do? | 01:04 |
| histo | !bug | SikZwei | 01:04 |
| ubottu | SikZwei: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 01:04 |
| vedrit | histo: ts3server_linux_amd64, I'm trying to get my TS3 server going | 01:04 |
| SikZwei | histo: 1) there's already a bug report it seems, 2) I want something to fix it now (even if that means somehow reverting it to its previous state) | 01:04 |
| histo | vedrit: chmod u+x whatever | 01:04 |
| histo | SikZwei: perhaps read the bug report for a possible solution. | 01:05 |
| SikZwei | It had no replies :/ | 01:05 |
| vedrit | tried it. When I checked with ls -l, it still listed as not being executable | 01:05 |
| histo | SikZwei: the programs website perhaps? or askubuntu.com | 01:06 |
| dr_willis | the file is not on a vfat or ntfs filesystem is it vedrit ? | 01:09 |
| vedrit | Oooh....it's on a NTFS drive | 01:09 |
| dr_willis | vedrit: bingo..... | 01:09 |
| vedrit | drat... | 01:09 |
| dr_willis | you can make EVERY file on a ntfs executable | 01:10 |
| dr_willis | but thats even more annoying | 01:10 |
| dr_willis | executable jpgs and gifs and txt and zip.... :'( | 01:11 |
| vedrit | But they won't take the executable permission | 01:11 |
| dr_willis | you CANT chown ir chmod on ntgs or vfat | 01:11 |
| dr_willis | you must mount them with the right options | 01:12 |
| SikZwei | *sigh* Just used ubuntu-bug and hoping it gets fixed quickly >.>' Will try again later | 01:12 |
| vedrit | Oh, I see | 01:12 |
| dr_willis | to do it | 01:12 |
| dr_willis | !ntfs-3g | 01:12 |
| ubottu | ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 01:12 |
| dr_willis | the ntfs-3g docs and faq detail this | 01:12 |
| dr_willis | put the files on a ext2/3/4 is easier | 01:13 |
| vedrit | yeah, that's what I did. Far simpler | 01:14 |
| yuanqihua | hello | 01:18 |
| yuanqihua | why no one speak | 01:20 |
| reisio | yuanqihua: hi :) | 01:20 |
| reisio | I was just starring in a major motion picture, is why I wasn't speaking :) | 01:21 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, Looks to me like your windows OS has been overwritten, is it still there from ubuntu? | 01:23 |
| dr_willis | Oh noes. that would be.. annoying. | 01:25 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, You are definitely missing this /Windows/System32/winload.exe | 01:25 |
| dr_willis | normal windows installs these days got a boot partion, a rescue partion, a rescue data partion, then the actual windows os partion dont they? | 01:25 |
| dr_willis | they like to use 4 primaries to annoy us linux users ;( | 01:26 |
| wilee-nilee | yeah | 01:26 |
| dr_willis | #1 thing to do on a new windows install is make a dvd-restore disk set. but its sad how often thats not mentioned to the end user. | 01:26 |
| wilee-nilee | I clone then back up the clone on all installs | 01:27 |
| dr_willis | i buy a ssd to put in the box for linux. and lock the windows hd away under armed guard.. in case it tries to escape. ;) | 01:28 |
| wilee-nilee | I hate asking for hep | 01:28 |
| dr_willis | last laptop i got.. suprused me.. it had a 2nd hd slot. :) so the ssd was a added bonus | 01:28 |
| xibalba | if i use LVM, can I add a second disk to my system and expand my root partition onto that 2nd disk? | 01:29 |
| xibalba | say i have a 10GB / partition, I need 20GB more space. | 01:29 |
| xibalba | bringing the total of / to 30GB | 01:30 |
| dr_willis | !lvm | 01:30 |
| ubottu | Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 01:30 |
| dr_willis | I see so many people have issues with LVM and raid. i avoid them ;) | 01:30 |
| xibalba | dr_willis, thanks for the link. but is LVM what i'm looking for to accomplish this? | 01:30 |
| xibalba | well definetly not going raid, thinking for a virtual machine | 01:31 |
| xibalba | what i'm trying to figure out is if i give one of my users a ubuntu 16GB template and they run out of space | 01:31 |
| xibalba | i want to be able to use the vmware guest os customization tools to call the 'pre-init' section | 01:31 |
| xibalba | and maybe throw some LVM commands in there to expand the disk | 01:31 |
| dr_willis | i thought lvm and raid went together like peanut butter and Jalapeno Jelly. the work best when together. | 01:31 |
| xibalba | as opposed to using fdisk to resize the partition | 01:31 |
| xibalba | definetly dont want to use raid on a guestOS(VM) | 01:32 |
| dr_willis | you can always move some of the directories off of / and onto a 2nd partition | 01:32 |
| xibalba | right, i have to operate under the assumption my users are stupid | 01:32 |
| dr_willis | a VM may have options to just resize the hd. | 01:32 |
| xibalba | they're developers not sysadmins | 01:32 |
| xibalba | it does, i can resize disk #1 to be a larger disk | 01:32 |
| xibalba | however that will require modifying the partition table | 01:32 |
| xibalba | trying to make it as automated as possible | 01:32 |
| xibalba | so i'm wondering if i should try and use fdisk/growfs, or LVM | 01:33 |
| xibalba | personally i've always strayed away from LVM | 01:33 |
| dr_willis | I think ive seen some vm's that do it from outside the vm. so it does it all for you. but i really dont use the stuff that much either | 01:33 |
| xibalba | since i'm a sysadmin i've never needed it | 01:33 |
| UnderSampled | in the firewall settings, my rules are showing up red | 01:33 |
| UnderSampled | does that mean they're working, or not? | 01:33 |
| xibalba | UnderSampled, use nmap to test | 01:33 |
| UnderSampled | if not, why and how do I fix it? | 01:33 |
| UnderSampled | nmap doesn't show it open | 01:33 |
| dr_willis | why make the hd so tiny in the first place? most vms use dynamic allocation. and the hd image file is only as big on the disk as it needs to be.. | 01:33 |
| xibalba | dr_willis, yea vmware wont use it | 01:33 |
| xibalba | right, thin provisioning. except i'm charging for the space utilization | 01:34 |
| dr_willis | i only use vbox. ;) | 01:34 |
| xibalba | of total allocated not used | 01:34 |
| xibalba | vbox is OK, but not enterprise grade | 01:34 |
| dr_willis | got a real job to do. bbl. | 01:34 |
| xibalba | later | 01:34 |
| UnderSampled | xibalba: it seems to be not open. any Ideas on what to look at to diagnose? | 01:34 |
| lgc | wilee-nilee: Hmmm... | 01:34 |
| xibalba | no sorry i dont use host based firewalls | 01:35 |
| lgc | What's the cure, wilee-nilee? | 01:35 |
| explodes | My computer at foo.com is on the same network as, call it, bar.com, but bar.com doesn't have public ssh access whereas foo.com does. | 01:36 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, If you are missing the windows install you will have to reload a backup/image/clone or reinstall, is sda1 the recovery partition? It is hard to tell from here what has actually happened, without some info from you. | 01:36 |
| explodes | I ssh'd into foo.com and did ssh -f admin@bar.com -L 9000:bar.com:80 -N, and on my local, I did ssh -f admin@foo.com -L 9000:foo.com:9000 -N | 01:37 |
| explodes | I was sure to do: sudo ufw allow 9000/tcp | 01:37 |
| explodes | Now, if I open my browser and go to localhost:9000 I should get bar.com:80, right? | 01:38 |
| explodes | I dont, instead I get 2 or 3 lines "connection refused" in the terminal I started the tunnel in | 01:39 |
| lgc | wilee-nilee: what info do you need? | 01:39 |
| === BlackoutIsHere is now known as BlackoutIsHere|O | ||
| wilee-nilee | lgc, I think you may be better in ##windows, however if you can't mount sda1, and seem to not know what it actually is we are sort of stuck. I can see you are missing some key files just to boot, but it looks to me like your missing the whole OS, you might get another opinion. | 01:41 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, Did you try to access sda1 from ubuntu? | 01:42 |
| lgc | wilee-nilee: Yep. | 01:42 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, And it wont mount? | 01:43 |
| xibalba | i hot added a disk to my system | 01:43 |
| xibalba | but it's not showing /dev/sdb | 01:43 |
| xibalba | do i need to some how init a rescan of /dev/ ? | 01:43 |
| histo | explodes: http://sshmenu.sourceforge.net/articles/transparent-mulithop.html | 01:43 |
| lgc | wilee-nilee: It has this strange "PQSERVICE" Label, according to Gparted. | 01:43 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, How many gigs is it? | 01:44 |
| xibalba | is there a -server ubuntu channel? | 01:44 |
| wilee-nilee | xibalba, #ubuntu-server | 01:44 |
| RooQ | Hey guys, anyone know of a good ide enviroment for c++ | 01:44 |
| xibalba | excellent | 01:44 |
| lgc | 32, wilee-nilee. | 01:44 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, YOu mentioned resizing windows was it sda1 and did you do it with gparted? | 01:44 |
| lgc | Yes. | 01:45 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, Ah, bad idea, windows has its own partitioner, I think you have broken it, you might ask in ##windows for any chances of recovery. | 01:45 |
| lgc | wilee-nilee: Hmmm... | 01:46 |
| dr_willis | i also find windows much much faster at resizeing its own ntfs then gparted is. | 01:46 |
| lgc | Isn't gparted up to the task? | 01:46 |
| lgc | In fact, dr_willis. It took forever. | 01:46 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, basically windows has unmovable files that gparted is glad to move, it knows no better, gparted can be used but with some pre-requisites | 01:47 |
| dr_willis | if you resized sda1, and shrunk it.. then you had space btween sda1 and sda2.. it may be sda5 or sda6 | 01:47 |
| dr_willis | it all depends on whaat you had to begin with. | 01:47 |
| lgc | Theres's in fact a 2 MB space between sda2 and sda3, dr_willis | 01:47 |
| wilee-nilee | dr_willis, Only 4 primaries two ntfs and a ext4 and swap there. | 01:47 |
| histo | explodes: http://earthwithsun.com/questions/315523/ssh-connection-between-two-behind-nat-computers-through-third-public-ip-computer | 01:47 |
| dr_willis | a space is common these days to align sectors or somthing | 01:47 |
| explodes | hmm | 01:49 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, Did you transfer the main C partition to another partition the sda1, sda2 is th e boot and the sda1 is labeled as a recovery | 01:50 |
| lgc | wilee-nilee: I'm afraid I don't quite get your question. | 01:51 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, The set up is unusual, generally sda1 would be a boot partition, and sda2 the os and a recovery partition and a firmware partition on a manufacturers install. The sda1 is labeled as the recovery in the script, it just seems out of order and mislabeled. Is this a clone, was it a oem, what is the history here? | 01:53 |
| lgc | No, wilee-nilee. It's an original install. | 01:54 |
| wilee-nilee | even a straight disc install would make sda1 the boot partition | 01:54 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, Installed by who? | 01:54 |
| explodes | histo: Close, I am using different topologies | 01:54 |
| histo | explodes: the second link I sent you seems to be what you described to me. -R is what you are missing on one end most likely | 01:55 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, Never the less I think your in recovery mode at best here if at all possible I doubt that can be fixed to work. | 01:55 |
| explodes | k | 01:55 |
| wilee-nilee | that's just a personal opinion though | 01:56 |
| lgc | wilee-nilee: OK. | 01:56 |
| Extreminador | guys can i follow this tuturial --> http://linuxg.net/how-to-install-enlightenment-17-e17-on-ubuntu-13-04/ <-- to install the Enlightenment desktop enviroment ? | 01:56 |
| wilee-nilee | Extreminador, e17 is in the repos. | 01:57 |
| lgc | Thanks a lot, wilee-nilee, dr_willis. | 01:57 |
| Extreminador | wilee-nilee sow i can i install it... ? | 01:58 |
| wilee-nilee | Extreminador, Might be a newer version in a PPA, however PPA's are technically not supported here. | 01:58 |
| Extreminador | ups *"how can i" | 01:58 |
| gnerd | anybody use chubuntu? know a good list of apps that work on ARM? | 01:58 |
| explodes | channel 4: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused | 01:58 |
| wilee-nilee | Extreminador, sudo apt-get install e17 | 01:59 |
| lgc | By the way, wilee-nilee, If I restore with the Gateway partition, will I get a functional Windows without the need of an install disk? | 01:59 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, Not sure what a gateway partition is | 01:59 |
| histo | !derivative | gnerd | 01:59 |
| histo | !derivatives | gnerd | 01:59 |
| ubottu | gnerd: 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) | 01:59 |
| lgc | wilee-nilee: the recovery partition. | 01:59 |
| Extreminador | ahh the pat-get let me check the command | 02:00 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, And where is that? | 02:00 |
| lgc | It's sda2, wilee-nilee | 02:00 |
| lgc | sda1, I mean, wilee-nilee . | 02:01 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, THat looks like a boot partition, if it is the recovery that is the job to recover. | 02:01 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, sda1 is 30 gigs is this a backup? | 02:01 |
| Extreminador | and how can i get the list of the things that the repository has and how to know what word to use to install it ? | 02:02 |
| lgc | wilee-nilee: That's the first strange thing. Grub reports it as a Windows recovery partition and /de/sda2 as a Windows boot partition. | 02:02 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, I would wonder why it is not mountable in ubuntu does it have and red flags on it in gparted | 02:03 |
| lgc | Let me check, wilee-nilee ... | 02:04 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, Was this ever a working W7 setup? | 02:04 |
| w30 | Extreminador, check enlightenment.org for a ppa of the latest version of E | 02:04 |
| lgc | wilee-nilee: you bet! | 02:04 |
| leeping | Hi there - I'd like to change the mount point of my /home directory. How do I do this without "losing track" of the existing /home directory? | 02:04 |
| lgc | wilee-nilee: I don't see any red flags on Gparted's report. | 02:05 |
| reisio | leeping: change it how? | 02:05 |
| leeping | reisio, I think I know what to do .. I'll mount the partition to /media/home and move everything into there. | 02:06 |
| histo | Extreminador: apt-cache search searchterm | 02:06 |
| reisio | leeping: eh? :) | 02:06 |
| leeping | reisio, I just bought a large hard drive. At the same time, my home directory filled up so I am thinking of moving the whole thing over to the large hard drive. | 02:07 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, basically this is a windows issue, I use windows but i'm no expert, I think yoiu need to get help in ##windows | 02:07 |
| histo | leeping: with usermod you can specify a new home and move your files all with one command | 02:07 |
| Extreminador | histo thanks will try to remember | 02:07 |
| leeping | histo, I'd still like for the home directory to be /home/$USER | 02:07 |
| leeping | so I might just change the mount points around | 02:07 |
| reisio | leeping: ah, fancy | 02:08 |
| lgc | wilee-nilee: OK. | 02:08 |
| histo | leeping: what? | 02:08 |
| reisio | leeping: what you do us umount it, copy the data to the new drive (mounted elsewhere), then change fstab | 02:08 |
| leeping | histo, from looking at the usermod option, it looks like it can change $HOME to a different path, such as /media/home/$USER or something. | 02:08 |
| lgc | wilee-nilee: I hope I don't get flames on #windows for installing Ubuntu. :) . | 02:08 |
| histo | leeping: well then just cp your files out of /home/$user to the mount then umount and mount it to /home/$user | 02:08 |
| leeping | reisio, that's what I'm planning on doing. :) | 02:09 |
| reisio | leeping: use rsync for the copying :p | 02:09 |
| histo | leeping: yes | 02:09 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, should not. | 02:09 |
| maxiPad3gs | 13.04 desktop on thinkpad x220. I pulled up "about this computer" and noticed that my graphics card is Intel sandybridge x86/MMX/SSE2. I dont think i installed the right Kernel but it might have fixed its self with sudo apt-get update && "upgrade". but i also noticed that under OS type: it says 32-bit. when installing generic kernel of ubuntu. what does the 32 64 or 86 mean. and is my pc 32 or 86 ? | 02:09 |
| leeping | reisio, that's what i'm doing :) | 02:09 |
| hmamouchi | hey | 02:09 |
| darkangel | Just a question of guessing what would be a good Ubuntu Version for amazing gaming what 1 would Improve gaming proformance ? plz guess somethin for me to look up to | 02:10 |
| lgc | We'll see about that, wilee-nilee. In any case, I was hoping not having to reinstall Ubuntu. | 02:10 |
| reisio | leeping: do eeet | 02:10 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, I think it is windows that will need a reinstall. | 02:10 |
| hmamouchi | please help me | 02:11 |
| maxiPad3gs | !patience hmamouchi | 02:11 |
| psy^ | darkangel: you want something pretty light on resources for max gaming performance. something like 'Mint Mate' might be what you're after | 02:11 |
| lgc | wilee-nilee: but that will entail wiping my linux, won't it. At least so it was back in the old days. | 02:11 |
| wilee-nilee | hmamouchi, I don't see any issues posted. | 02:11 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, No, you just make a ntfs and manually install. | 02:12 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, A oem might want to use the whole drive, but the ones I have had had a manual option. | 02:12 |
| darkangel | i did try Mint Mate not that good for me i'm gonna stay with Ubuntu cuzz its about the same performace and every thing between ubuntu 13.04 and Mint 15 | 02:12 |
| lgc | wilee-nilee: I see... | 02:12 |
| darkangel | thats me though | 02:12 |
| Extreminador | thanks for all guys but it's late | 02:13 |
| Extreminador | see you | 02:13 |
| hmamouchi | I need help add language on the keyboard | 02:13 |
| wilee-nilee | hmamouchi, What is your native language? | 02:13 |
| xmetal | hmm @ dpkg compaining about tarball issues | 02:13 |
| darkangel | 14.04 LTS may be alot better =) cant w8 | 02:13 |
| hmamouchi | arabic | 02:13 |
| darkangel | till it comes out | 02:13 |
| hmamouchi | i have lexel | 02:13 |
| wilee-nilee | hmamouchi, YOu need to outline in detail what you want to do. | 02:14 |
| hmamouchi | I want to write | 02:15 |
| maxiPad3gs | hmamouchi: system settings / language support. it should be there. if not you need to run from command line.. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade and your language packages will be addes then i think | 02:15 |
| darkangel | Im also alot better with Ubuntu then Mint by a Ton and good at Fixing Ubuntu Bugs some times | 02:15 |
| lgc | So, wilee-nilee, just to have it clear, If the Windows installer sees an NTFS partition in /dev/sda1 it will be content with it? | 02:15 |
| hmamouchi | ok wait test | 02:15 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, Do you have a windows install dvd/usb? | 02:16 |
| lgc | wilee-nilee: I regret I don't. | 02:16 |
| darkangel | mmm hmm who uses windows any more lolz Jokes | 02:16 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, Then how are you intending to install? | 02:16 |
| dr_willis | i thought your system was booting to the windows recovery mode of your pc maker | 02:17 |
| lgc | wilee-nilee: Dowload it from somewhere or getting it from someone. | 02:17 |
| darkangel | lgc: what Linux ya usin? | 02:17 |

| wilee-nilee | lucidium, oss compatibility? | 02:20 |
| b_ | yeah i installed. very nice | 02:20 |
| dr_willis | b_: there was never really any configs to evven config the scrrnsavers that were there.. and they were rather poor. :) | 02:20 |
| lucidium | wilee-nilee, yes, the precursor to ALSA? | 02:20 |
| dr_willis | screensavers = so 1990's | 02:20 |
| lgc | dr_willis: Yes. But I haven't proceeded because it would format the whole disk. | 02:20 |
| wilee-nilee | just curious waht that was | 02:20 |
| b_ | lol | 02:20 |
| b_ | <-------est. 1977 | 02:21 |

| maxiPad3gs | if i pull up my "about this computer" and it says under OS type = 32-bit then have i installed the 32 bit distro or is it telling me that my pc is set up for 32 bit OS? | 02:22 |
| lgc | dr_willis: That's the fuss I was trying to spare myself from. | 02:22 |
| wilee-nilee | maxiPad3gs, OS type = 32-bit, seems obvious. | 02:23 |
| xmetal | lol @ i put that fake BSOD SS on a few PC's ... freaked some newbies out | 02:23 |
| maxiPad3gs | wilee-nilee: the reason i ask is because i installed the 64 bit distro | 02:23 |

| wilee-nilee | maxiPad3gs, Are you sure, not on a 32 bit computer? | 02:24 |
| wilee-nilee | can't say it is a 32 bit computer though | 02:24 |
| maxiPad3gs | wilee-nilee: thats what i was wondering? does it mean my thinkpad x220 is 32 bit system or did i install the 32 bit distro? | 02:24 |
| wilee-nilee | maxiPad3gs, only you know what you installed, looks here like a 32 bit release. | 02:25 |
| b_ | 12.04* | 02:25 |
| w30 | maxiPad3gs, your processor is 32 bit, 64 bit, or x86_64 (both). That is what you mean by a 32 or 64 bit system | 02:25 |
| wilee-nilee | any 64 bit is both | 02:26 |
| maxiPad3gs | let me post a screen shot of what i am looking at wait one | 02:26 |
| w30 | Itanium is 64 bit | 02:27 |

| dr_willis | i always use 64bit on all 64bit hardware. i cant recall the last time i had an issue that i could blame on 64bitness of my os. | 02:35 |
| maxiPad3gs | b_: o kthanks for input | 02:36 |
| w30 | maxiPad3gs, you have a processor that can run 32 bit instrunctions or one that can run either (if you had Itanium or Rise you would know so). If you have a x86_64 processor you can choose a 64bit or 32 bit operating system (32 bit or 64 bit instructions) | 02:36 |
| wolter | dr_willis: the only issue I have is a printer driver :/ I have to run virtualbox just for that | 02:36 |
| dr_willis | wolter: i really have to wonder at a printer company that cant handle making a 64bit driver for their hardware | 02:37 |
| wolter | yeah, cannon | 02:37 |
| * dr_willis wonders part of a driver really cares if its 64bit or 32.. | 02:37 | |

| maxiPad3gs | w30: damn. should have done a hash sum on my distro or i was stoned when i installed. wow. now what .. ? just wait for saucy to drop and install the 64 bit clean? probly what i am gonna do anyway so... | 02:41 |
| xmetal | of all my OS's | 02:41 |
| Darkangel | rr_: does ur Monitor turn off when u turn it on act's like its startin up but its not? | 02:42 |
| wilee-nilee | rr_, Is it mountable from a live cd, and how did you fsck it> | 02:42 |
| rr_ | No it goes to the GRUB menu - when I select linux - it gives an error that the kernal can't be loaded. | 02:42 |
| wilee-nilee | rr_, How did you fsck it? | 02:43 |
| rr_ | It was mountable for a time from a live CD - after running the fsck for 20 hours, it's not. I used "sudo fsck -t ext4" and gave the partition name, and the option to automatically correct errors - did this while running off the install cd | 02:43 |
| Darkangel | ya i had that prob b4 and the only way i fixed it that i started fresh... u do have a BackUp of ur Data right? | 02:44 |
| dr_willis | maxiPad3gs: 32 or 64 doesn't mattar a lot to most people | 02:44 |
| maxiPad3gs | dr_willis: cool | 02:44 |
| maxiPad3gs | my thinkpad doet seem to mind wither | 02:44 |
| wilee-nilee | rr_, with it mounted? | 02:44 |
| sigtest2 | hello | 02:44 |
| === andrex is now known as andrex|off | ||
| dr_willis | 20 hr fsck.. sounds like hard disk failing | 02:44 |
| sigtest | hello | 02:45 |
| w30 | maxiPad3gs, the big advantage is the ability to use more than 3gig of memory in a 64 bit system. Not many apps are optimized for 64 bit yet. (written yes but not really optimized) | 02:45 |
| wilee-nilee | rr_, The live cd has a smart check in disks | 02:45 |
| rr_ | no made sure it wasn't mounted when I ran FSCK. it was correcting a a lot of errors in pass 1, then ran pass 2 corrected a lot more errors, and went back to pass one. Its a fairly new 2TB drive that's never given me a problem before. | 02:45 |
| rr_ | and yeah, no backup.... | 02:45 |
| fatNERD | after the freaking update, my display is all messed up. | 02:47 |
| fatNERD | ubuntu sucks for real | 02:47 |
| w30 | maxiPad3gs, I see you have 7.8 GiB memory, To use all that install the 64 bit version. | 02:47 |
| === JoseeAntonioR is now known as jose | ||
| lizzie_ | hrmmmm | 02:48 |
| Darkangel | what Update it give | 02:48 |
| Darkangel | whats the problem buddy | 02:48 |
| dr_willis | ! pae | 02:48 |
| ubottu | To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 02:48 |
| dr_willis | pae kernel can yse it all | 02:48 |
| rr_ | how do i try using the smart check utility? | 02:49 |
| wilee-nilee | rr_, So not mountable and the fscks made it worse, sounds like a recovery option now, but thats just an opinion. | 02:49 |
| Darkangel | fatNERD: whats the problem maybe i could help... | 02:49 |
| abc_ | Yo Guys | 02:50 |
| wilee-nilee | rr_, Is it all ext type partition or partitions? | 02:50 |
| wilee-nilee | is it the whole HD? | 02:50 |
| wiak | w30 i got 32GB ram, soo do i need 64-bit? | 02:50 |
| Darkangel | yes wiak | 02:50 |
| * wiak lolz :P | 02:50 | |
| rr_ | pretty much one large partition yeah, two smaller ones - i just set it up as default | 02:51 |
| jb992 | -_- You have 32 gigabytes of ram and don't know the difference? | 02:51 |
| w30 | maxiPad3gs, there ya go, another choice. How much configuring have you done on the 32 bit install? and how hard is it to get the 64 bit iso? | 02:51 |
| wiak | <- macgered him self a working highpoint 12tb raid array ubuntu server | 02:51 |
| jb992 | I designed my own microprocessor and I only have 8 lol | 02:51 |
| wiak | highpoint was no freaking help :O | 02:51 |
| wilee-nilee | rr_, is the whole thing not mountable? | 02:52 |
| wiak | rr_ gpt? | 02:52 |
| jb992 | wiak, a 32-bit operating system will only allow each process to use a maximum of 4 GiB of RAM | 02:52 |
| wiak | i know fool | 02:52 |
| wiak | :P | 02:52 |
| w30 | maxiPad3gs, with that processor install would not take long *smile* I wish I had it. | 02:52 |
| jb992 | Then why did you ask if you need 64-bit? | 02:52 |
| wiak | i have been running 64-bit since amd came out with it :P | 02:53 |
| Darkangel | 64 bit can handle alot more then we have n the world of RAM it subports 60EB | 02:53 |
| jb992 | You don't *need* 64 bit, you'd just be wasting a metric shit-ton of ram | 02:53 |
| Ben64 | jb992: watch the language | 02:53 |
| b_ | lol | 02:54 |
| Darkangel | good Points jd but ya i agree with ben there | 02:54 |
| rr_ | I tried mounting it from the home folder, and now it doesn't even show up there. tried mounting just sdb1 from the terminal. haven't tried the whole thing. | 02:54 |
| xmetal | i have 4GB on my "newest" PC and so i dont have to keep downloading a 64bit and 32bit version of every OS, i just stick with 32bit .. and happy with it | 02:54 |
| xmetal | (i only get on high speed from time to time) | 02:54 |
| rr_ | heres the info from fdisk Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 2048 3891300351 1945649152 83 Linux /dev/sdb2 3891302398 3907024895 7861249 5 Extended Partition 2 does not start on physical sector boundary. /dev/sdb5 3891302400 3907024895 7861248 82 Linux swap / Solaris | 02:54 |
| jb992 | 32 bit makes sense for some uses, for example for using less than 4 GiB of RAM for non-scientific computing purposes | 02:55 |
| jb992 | You can save some overhead (to a degree) | 02:55 |
| Darkangel | if u use a 32 Bit on a 64 Bit system u will get Glitches and Bugs from it i know this while back | 02:55 |
| xmetal | that seems odd | 02:55 |
| jb992 | Bugs? I've never heard of that | 02:55 |
| xmetal | same here, @ jb992 | 02:56 |
| * w30 's 64 bit system plays solitare really fast | 02:56 | |
| rr_ | wiak - i'm not familiar with gpt , pretty new at all this. | 02:56 |
| Darkangel | it does but thats my exp... Bugs = stuff that will get messed up and ull have to fix it ike ur Volume Drivers will go out | 02:56 |
| Ben64 | Darkangel: thats really not true | 02:56 |
| b_ | so.. with 1600 people in the room, nobody has battery life problems on laptop running ubuntu 12.04LTS? | 02:56 |
| wiak | sudo parted -l | grep -C 1 -A 10 gpt | 02:56 |
| jb992 | w30, a 64-bit system won't process faster, it just allows it to allocate more hardware | 02:56 |
| maxiPad3gs | I am still confused as to how I got a 32 bit OS on my pad lol? :( | 02:57 |
| Darkangel | sure ok | 02:57 |
| wiak | should find if your drives are gpt :P | 02:57 |
| Darkangel | so im just imagines it | 02:57 |
| Ben64 | how about we get the channel back on topic | 02:57 |

| === bitnumus is now known as Guest74220 | ||
| jb992 | Ben64, I'm curious, are you a moderator? | 02:58 |
| maxiPad3gs | Is there an easy way to see why my USB 3.0 is not running at speed? | 02:58 |
| Darkangel | well tecknickly im helpin people im not sure how im off Topic | 02:58 |
| jb992 | maxiPad3gs, do you have the proper drivers installed? | 02:58 |
| w30 | jb992, yeah, I understand that the code needs to be optimized more than just using 64 bit registers | 02:59 |
| maxiPad3gs | jb992: i think i covered that before and that is yes sorry i didnt mention that at startup sometimes it works | 02:59 |
| maxiPad3gs | jb992: i think it could be Conky | 02:59 |
| rr_ | wiak - tried that command, didn't get any output. running the gparted partition editor now. | 03:00 |
| sportif | . | 03:00 |
| Darkangel | that Gpart is alot of help for sure | 03:00 |
| dr_willis | conky is really handy. :) theres a conky config tool i saw on webupd8 or omgubuntu that lets you eaially add some nice conky setups | 03:00 |
| maxiPad3gs | Nevermind, I can live wihtout my USB 3.0 until saucy drops | 03:00 |
| Valeness | Is it possible to partition half my Harddrive for Ubuntu and the other half for windows? | 03:01 |
| jb992 | Yes, Valeness, the installer provides for it | 03:01 |
| Valeness | Ah, thank you jb992 | 03:01 |
| jb992 | It's one of the default options IIRC | 03:01 |
| dr_willis | 'insall alongside' | 03:01 |
| Valeness | It's been a while since I installed. I'm still running 10.04 :P | 03:01 |
| dr_willis | or you can manually partion how you want. "somthing else..." | 03:01 |
| jb992 | I would recommend double checking your partition setup before you install though if you do do the automated route. | 03:02 |
| jb992 | I always prefer to double-check. | 03:02 |
| dr_willis | of course make backups of imporntaant stuff befor you install | 03:02 |
| maxiPad3gs | Valeness: oh yeah thats easy.. I used Unetbootin and installed along side no probs | 03:02 |
| jb992 | That's pretty much a given dr_willis | 03:02 |
| dr_willis | jb992: but so ignored... | 03:02 |
| jb992 | lol so true | 03:02 |
| Valeness | Haha, I'm backing up right now | 03:02 |
| qin | Doesn't "alongside" means on the same partition? | 03:02 |
| dr_willis | most imporntant stuff i have is the wifes video files.. | 03:03 |
| Darkangel | no | 03:03 |
| jb992 | Backups should be kept anyways, and idealy they are painless, or else the user doesn't keep them | 03:03 |
| Valeness | I messed up this distro pretty bad being stupid. So I'm doing a fresh install of both OS's | 03:03 |
| dr_willis | qin: i rhink so yes. | 03:03 |
| dr_willis | qin: on the same 'drive' | 03:03 |
| maxiPad3gs | qin: you create a seperate partition in the Unetbootin Grub | 03:03 |
| wilee-nilee | Valeness, 10:04 desktop is end of life you know this right? | 03:03 |
| Darkangel | its 2 partishons but 1 hdd of u just have 1 its a 2 OS system's on 1 HDD | 03:03 |
| jb992 | For example, I use VSS for windows, and rsnapshot for linux | 03:03 |
| maxiPad3gs | qin: or no wait. you pass the grub and partition in the Ubuntu set up | 03:03 |
| Valeness | Haha, it's an old desktop. I don't think it'd run 12.04 | 03:03 |
| rr_ | only thing gparted shows is sda1 - which is the other drive i have which is a bootable windows drive. doesn't show sdb at all | 03:03 |
| dr_willis | Valeness: only if it dosent support PAE in the cpu. | 03:04 |
| dr_willis | Valeness: if so.. thats a real old system. ) | 03:04 |
| Valeness | Uhm, it's maybe 8-9 years old, I'm not sure :P | 03:04 |
| dr_willis | Valeness: test with a live cd. | 03:04 |
| jb992 | Valeness, did you try booting something like Knoppix to erase the partition, then rewriting the bootmanager/mbr with windows' recovery tools? | 03:04 |
| Valeness | I did not jb992 | 03:04 |
| Valeness | And good idea dr_willis | 03:05 |
| jb992 | Was it a fresh install of windows and ubuntu in the first place? | 03:05 |
| jb992 | Or would doing a reinstall from scratch be a better option? | 03:05 |
| Valeness | Oh, I don't have both installed. I formatted and then installed ubuntu | 03:05 |
| jb992 | Oh, ok. Thanks for clearing that up. | 03:05 |
| Valeness | However, I miss my Windows Gaming, so I wanted a partition to run Warcraft III :D | 03:06 |
| jb992 | lol | 03:06 |
| Ben64 | Valeness: warcraft 3 works fine with wine | 03:06 |
| jb992 | Ben64, what's the performance like? | 03:06 |
| Valeness | but you have to run gameranger and stuff to play with friends | 03:06 |
| jb992 | It can't be good | 03:06 |
| Ben64 | jb992: why can't it | 03:06 |
| Valeness | I'd rather not risk that kind of delay | 03:06 |
| jb992 | Well, it's not running on the native platform for one | 03:07 |
| rr_ | used the command sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt which got me this error - mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error | 03:07 |
| Ben64 | jb992: so? thats literally why wine exists | 03:07 |
| jb992 | Ben64, wine is not optimized for performance of win32 applications as well as windows | 03:07 |
| jb992 | See this | 03:08 |
| jb992 | http://wiki.winehq.org/Performance | 03:08 |
| Ben64 | jb992: you obviously have no idea how it works | 03:08 |
| Ben64 | Valeness: the easiest way to get both windows and ubuntu on a computer is to install windows first, then install ubuntu | 03:08 |

| dr_willis | if its totally bugtested.. it wont have errors. ;) | 03:12 |
| wilee-nilee | grub is pretty straight forward never had a problem, you have to know how to use it. | 03:13 |

| null_dev | Okay, guys. I'm really, really loathing to ask this question here, but my friend is asking me to help him with his Windows machine. Is there a room for Windows support? I need someone to look over a ComboFix log. | 03:25 |

| bazhang | null_dev, ##windows | 03:26 |
| dance4x | wilee-nilee: well let's see if this works. I just booted into an old kernal but it was text only | 03:26 |
| null_dev | bazhang Thank you. | 03:26 |
| xmetal | uh ... what the heck? | 03:26 |
| SkinnyV | I was wondering if somebody could help me with a simple start up scriot | 03:26 |
| Basil1x | LVM container has 956GB, 90% of which is free space. jb992 | 03:26 |
| SkinnyV | I am trying to have something autostart using rc.local | 03:26 |
| wilee-nilee | dance4x, If you can get to a desktop, the instructions by Ben64 will be easier is all. | 03:26 |
| k_sze[work] | Hello. | 03:26 |
| Basil1x | Still, /boot tops out at 227MB | 03:26 |
| k_sze[work] | Is it true that in Ubuntu, IPv4 can be configured as a subset of IPv6? | 03:27 |
| jb992 | Here, see if this helps | 03:27 |
| jb992 | http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/extendlv.html | 03:27 |
| jb992 | You may want to read the MAN pages for some of those commands, like "lvextend" | 03:27 |
| jb992 | You'll have to increase the size of the logical volume, then increase the filesystem size. | 03:28 |
| SkinnyV | anybody could jsut give me an hand? I just need one thing to autostart | 03:28 |
| jb992 | You'll have to unmount the filesystem that you want to expand to do that | 03:28 |
| wilee-nilee | null_dev, I would have them post on bleeping computers. | 03:28 |

| SkinnyV | Ok, I need to start a deamon for my minecraft server everytime I restart the server. To do this, I log with SSH, navigate to a directory with CD FOLDERNAME, and then give this command /bin/multicraft -v start . I want that to be done automaticly on reboot by the rc.local | 03:33 |
| somsip | SkinnyV: then you add those lines to rc.local (if this is the way you want to do it). eg "cd /home/skinnyv/.minecraft && /bin/multicraft -v start" | 03:35 |
| SkinnyV | I wasnt sure how to have it go to the folder, so I just separate command with $$? | 03:36 |
| somsip | SkinnyV: I hope that's a typo. Look again | 03:36 |
| SkinnyV | oh I ment && | 03:36 |
| dr_willis | ;) | 03:37 |
| somsip | SkinnyV: however, this may not be the best way to start the server. A quick search suggest upstart scripts can be used, eg: http://www.cryptkcoding.com/2012/03/how-to-build-a-minecraft-server-on-ubuntu/ This might be out of date though | 03:37 |
| dr_willis | rc.local runs everything as root.. so you may or may not want that | 03:37 |
| witeshark | what is the cause of a spontaneously appearing gray question mark launcher box marked 'exe' when highlighted? | 03:37 |
| dr_willis | witeshark: never heard of such a thing... post a screenshot perhaps. | 03:38 |
| witeshark | selecting 'quit' fails to remove it | 03:38 |
| dr_willis | witeshark: when does this appear? on login? after a while? at random? | 03:38 |
| witeshark | dr_willis, it seems to have appeared immediately after loading a wunderground.com site | 03:39 |
| witeshark | i saw the launcher 'pop out' on activity and there it was | 03:40 |

| dr_willis | witeshark: so if you kill the browser (via kill or xkill) does it vanish? | 03:40 |
| qin | witeshark: in any browser? | 03:40 |
| witeshark | qin, it did not happen on FF | 03:40 |
| dr_willis | could be some annoying windows advertisement | 03:40 |
| SkinnyV | trying it now | 03:41 |
| witeshark | dr_willis, no, clearing browser data and closing chrome did nothing | 03:41 |
| witeshark | the only thing that removed it was reboot | 03:41 |
| dr_willis | try killall chromium-bbrowser or google-chrome or whateveer they are called | 03:41 |
| qin | witeshark: maybe autostart option and default programs? | 03:41 |
| dr_willis | also try just 'xkill' and click on the window in question | 03:41 |
| dr_willis | theres some tool i recall like xkill that gives window info whenyou click on them | 03:41 |
| dr_willis | but i forget its name | 03:42 |

| SkinnyV | hmmm, it doesnt seem to be starting with that command in rc.loacl | 03:43 |
| dr_willis | SkinnyV: id make a script that starts it.. then run that script from rc.local | 03:43 |
| dr_willis | SkinnyV: and make sure it runs as the proper user. | 03:43 |
| Poodle448 | dr_willis well I did. | 03:44 |
| SkinnyV | I added this to rc.local: cd multicraft && ./bin/multicraft -v start (this command work when executed as root from the command line | 03:44 |
| dr_willis | if your users home dirs are encrypted.. that may also get in the way ski | 03:44 |
| dance4x | Ben64: is there a way to revert back to an old Ubuntu version from the terminal. I can ac ESS Ubuntu through an old kernel but its text onky | 03:44 |
| dance4x | Only | 03:44 |
| dr_willis | you really want the server running as root? | 03:44 |
| somsip | SkinnyV: you might be better off adding something to rc.local like '/usr/local/bin/multicraft &' and then creating /usr/local/bin/multicraft that contains the cd ... && .. commands | 03:44 |
| Poodle448 | Hey can you get ice (from pepermintOS on Ubtuntu?) | 03:44 |
| SkinnyV | well, thats the only way i was able to start the deamon from the ssh prompt | 03:45 |
| SkinnyV | after entering sudo su - | 03:45 |
| dr_willis | and you ment cd /home/multicraft or what exactly SkinnyV ? rc.local will want correct paths | 03:45 |
| dr_willis | no need to use cd &&command in a script.. juss tput the commands on differnt lines. | 03:45 |
| SkinnyV | when run from the command prompt it work with jsut cd multicraft, should i add the full path to the rc.loacl? | 03:46 |
| dr_willis | SkinnyV: cd multicradt is NOT a full path to where its at... | 03:46 |
| dr_willis | SkinnyV: so i would bet that would fail most of the time | 03:46 |
| somsip | SkinnyV: yes, like I said earlier...cd /home/skinnyv/.minecraft or whereever it really lives | 03:46 |
| dr_willis | bash baics. :) when in doubt use the full path | 03:47 |
| dr_willis | basics | 03:47 |
| dr_willis | cd multicraft will fail if your shell is not starting where multicraft is at. | 03:47 |
| zykotick9 | SkinnyV: it's not a good idea to use "sudo su -" use "sudo -i" instead. i'd also try changing your "cd ..." to use the FULL path instead "/blah/bin/multicraft -v start" (no cd) | 03:47 |
| SkinnyV | ok I'll try, thanks guys | 03:47 |

| somsip | zykotick9: If multicraft looks in the PWD for the jar (or whatever) he might need to fiddle a bit with this maybe? | 03:48 |
| zykotick9 | somsip: oh.... well that does change things! SkinnyV sorry looks like i gave bad advice re multicraft. | 03:49 |
| somsip | zykotick9: I don't know how it definitely works. Just trying to cover all bases for SkinnyV | 03:49 |
| dr_willis | also rc.local uses sh not bash. | 03:50 |
| dr_willis | seen that get in the way of some people also | 03:50 |
| zykotick9 | somsip: personally, i just question "cd foo" working in rc.local myself??? | 03:50 |
| somsip | zykotick9: yeah - I thought cd .. && command would work, but calling this in a separate batch file would be better if it definitely needs to cd | 03:50 |
| zykotick9 | somsip: +1 for calling batch | 03:51 |
| SkinnyV | so I would just add my command to a file named whatever.sh and call that file from teh rc.local? | 03:51 |
| somsip | SkinnyV: ^^^ lots of ideas for you to try then :-) | 03:52 |
| rr_ | Gonna go to sleep soon - but made a post detailing the troubles with my file system/inability to boot - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2169188&p=12763841#post12763841 - think I'm giving up for today, but if anyone has any ideas, it'd be much appreciated. | 03:52 |
| somsip | SkinnyV: yeah - the standard is for these to go in /usr/local/bin, so /usr/local/bin/multicraft.sh for example | 03:52 |
| somsip | SkinnyV: then rc.local has '/usr/local/bin/multicraft.sh &'. And multicraft.sh contains 'cd /path (newline) /bin/multicraft -v start' or whatever that path to the real multicraft should be | 03:53 |
| SkinnyV | why the & at the end of the rc.local commandÉ | 03:57 |
| SkinnyV | ? | 03:57 |
| SolarAquarion | how do I add /usr/games to my path? | 03:57 |

| Basil1x | Ah. Deleted some of the 23 old kernels I had in /boot and all is now well again. Must figure out how to expand it one day. | 04:02 |
| SkinnyV | oh, forgot about permission, thx | 04:03 |
| SolarAquarion | qin, the game is there but it wasn't added to the auto play when i decided to do the name of the game | 04:04 |
| SolarAquarion | in xterm | 04:05 |
| SolarAquarion | for example osu | 04:05 |
| SkinnyV | is there a way to run this script as a user? | 04:05 |
| SolarAquarion | i need to create a menu file | 04:05 |
| SkinnyV | it seem to work but it can't find the config files for the server | 04:05 |
| somsip | SkinnyV: /usr/local/bin/multicraft.sh should do it | 04:06 |
| SkinnyV | its weird because it work whe ni run the command stright in the command prompt as root | 04:06 |
| somsip | SkinnyV: what dir are you in when you do that? | 04:06 |
| SkinnyV | i just enter /usr/local/bin/multicraft.sh in the command prompt | 04:07 |
| SkinnyV | as root | 04:07 |
| qin | SolarAquarion: what does: which osu; says? | 04:07 |
| somsip | SkinnyV: so what isn't it doing right? | 04:07 |
| Guest4720 | m | 04:08 |
| SkinnyV | it start the deamon but it return error about not finding the config file for the game server which isnt an issue if I just enter cd multicraft and then ./bin/multicraft -v start | 04:08 |
| somsip | SkinnyV: cd to multicraft than paste the result of 'pwd' | 04:08 |
| SolarAquarion | qin, it automatically goes to the wine installation script. | 04:09 |
| SolarAquarion | But if I press the /usr/games/osu file it launcher osu | 04:09 |
| SkinnyV | it just return /root/multicraft | 04:10 |
| somsip | SkinnyV: and there is a bin directory in there, which contains the multicraft executable? | 04:10 |
| SkinnyV | no,it is in home/multicraft/ I think | 04:11 |
| somsip | SkinnyV: take this the right way, but please don't 'think' check it | 04:12 |
| dr_willis | you made a user named 'multicraft' ? | 04:12 |
| qin | qin: wine? well, wine programs are started by wine not bash. Nautilus (the clickable thinky) have sorta mime types, so it calls wine to deal with its stuff, bash would require spesific command, here: wine osu (or something), see #winehq | 04:12 |
| SkinnyV | sorry, let me check | 04:12 |

| SkinnyV | no it is really what its returning | 04:13 |
| dr_willis | and this is or is not a Windows exe? i missed how wine figures into this | 04:14 |

| AcidRain2012 | also, does anyone know how to make it so when i click on a torrent link in firefox ,transmission will automatically open. its not in the options list, and i cant find it | 04:57 |
| josePHPagoda | I've never hit that issue | 04:57 |
| josePHPagoda | so I likely can't help much | 04:57 |
| josePHPagoda | i've gotta go to bed though or I'll keep pulling my hair out | 04:57 |

| dr_willis | Optimus stuff? | 04:58 |
| Timetoplay | so any help on where to store .desktop icons? seems the normal installed ones don't tell me where | 04:58 |
| dr_willis | Timetoplay: see where gedit.desktop is at? | 04:58 |
| Timetoplay | yeah | 04:59 |
| dr_willis | id say there. ;( | 04:59 |
| Timetoplay | in usr/share/applications | 04:59 |
| dr_willis | :) | 04:59 |
| Timetoplay | just... put the icon in the same place? | 04:59 |
| joshuag | some one going to help me out:( | 04:59 |
| dr_willis | locate the gedit.png is at | 04:59 |
| likes | never heard of it joshuag | 05:00 |
| dr_willis | most lilely in a theme directory | 05:00 |
| dr_willis | joshuag: so this is an Optimius chipset device? if so look up Bumblebee | 05:00 |
| likes | joshuag: does it freeze even when you don't do anything? | 05:00 |
| Timetoplay | dr_willis, alright, doing the search now. Didn't think of that :). The .desktop files just say "Icon: gedit" and such | 05:00 |
| apb1963_ | I want to uninstall ubuntu-desktop... it won't go away :( | 05:01 |
| joshuag | yea | 05:01 |
| dr_willis | thats beayse tjeu come from the theme files Timetoplay | 05:01 |
| dr_willis | apb1963_: thats a meta-package. why do yuou want to remove it? | 05:01 |
| apb1963_ | don't like it :) | 05:01 |
| dr_willis | removeing it does nothinh | 05:01 |
| apb1963_ | I installed it... I should be able to remove it | 05:02 |
| dr_willis | apt-get remove pacjagename | 05:02 |
| apb1963_ | I did purge | 05:02 |
| dr_willis | it wont acomplish anything | 05:02 |
| apb1963_ | I know | 05:02 |
| likes | joshuag: did you look into the log files? | 05:02 |
| apb1963_ | so.... how do I replace it? | 05:02 |
| joshuag | its hard to do that when it frezzes | 05:02 |
| dr_willis | apt-get install packagename | 05:02 |
| apb1963_ | why won't it go away? Saying it's a metapackge doesn't mean anything to me. | 05:03 |
| dr_willis | apb1963_: saying it wont 'go away' tells us nothing | 05:03 |
| joshuag | i have a gigabyte g1. assain mobo socket 1366 | 05:03 |
| dr_willis | apt-get remove should remove it | 05:03 |
| apb1963_ | well.. before I installed it, I had a command line. | 05:03 |
| apb1963_ | Now I have a background... with no command line | 05:04 |
| dr_willis | go to theconsole and you have a command line | 05:04 |
| apb1963_ | And can't access any commands | 05:04 |
| apb1963_ | I'm on the console | 05:04 |
| apb1963_ | all I have is a background | 05:04 |
| dr_willis | and you see a login: promot or what exactly? | 05:04 |
| apb1963_ | ^^^ | 05:04 |
| dr_willis | alt-ctrl-f1 should have no background | 05:04 |
| dr_willis | a through f6 | 05:04 |
| dr_willis | alt-ctrl-f1 through f6 = the consoles | 05:05 |
| joshuag | and the only way i could get ubuntu installed is that i had to make my bios into ahci mode | 05:05 |
| apb1963_ | that is a supremely awkward key combination for the record. Yah I was doing Alt-F1. | 05:05 |
| dr_willis | its a key combo thats been around for decades.. | 05:05 |
| apb1963_ | doesn't make it any less awkward | 05:06 |
| dr_willis | on the console you just need alt-F# or crerl-f# i think | 05:06 |
| likes | joshuag: are your log files deleted when you boot again? | 05:06 |
| dr_willis | so stick to the facts.. YOU do or do not have the f1 through f6 consoles? | 05:06 |
| joshuag | so i just gave up on the idea of having ubuntu | 05:06 |
| apb1963_ | now I can't get the desktop back. lol | 05:06 |
| dr_willis | joshuag with a optimus chipsets you need to use bumblebee. or disable one ccard in the bios | 05:07 |
| dr_willis | alt-ctrl-f7 = back to X | 05:07 |
| apb1963_ | thank you | 05:07 |
| === hacker is now known as Guest67018 | ||
| apb1963_ | ALT-F# does work... I must have been using the wrong keyboard earlier | 05:07 |
| apb1963_ | thank you | 05:08 |
| Guest67018 | sure | 05:08 |
| apb1963_ | but apt-get purge doesn't remove it | 05:08 |
| dr_willis | remove what? | 05:08 |
| apb1963_ | ubuntu-desktop | 05:08 |
| dr_willis | it does remove it... but that does NOT remove any of the packages that got installed along with it. | 05:08 |
| dr_willis | as we said.. its a meta package.. its SOLE purpose is to pull in OTHER packages | 05:09 |
| dr_willis | removeing it does not remove those other packages | 05:09 |
| apb1963_ | o i c | 05:09 |
| Guest67018 | can you install IDM on ubuntu | 05:09 |
| apb1963_ | kind of strange that it wouldn't... but ok at least I get it now | 05:09 |
| dr_willis | so IF your end goal is to hae a text only system - then you should have said so ;) | 05:09 |
| dr_willis | It dosent because its the point of a meta-package | 05:09 |
| apb1963_ | well... at the moment I just want to try a different desktop | 05:09 |
| dr_willis | !text | 05:09 |
| ubottu | To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 05:09 |
| apb1963_ | but eventually yeah... i'll want to go back to text | 05:10 |
| dr_willis | install whatever desktops you want. :) you can have several. I like Lubuntu-desktop | 05:10 |
| apb1963_ | didn't see that one anywhere | 05:10 |
| dr_willis | use text mode, or just stop the lightdm service | 05:10 |
| dr_willis | !lubuntu | 05:10 |
| ubottu | lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 05:10 |
| apb1963_ | not that I looked hard.. just the web page I happened to be on at the time... ubuntugeek.com | 05:11 |
| apb1963_ | can I get it through apt-get? | 05:11 |
| dr_willis | !info lubuntu-desktop | 05:12 |
| ubottu | lubuntu-desktop (source: lubuntu-meta): Lubuntu Desktop environment. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.48 (raring), package size 2 kB, installed size 30 kB (Only available for i386; amd64; powerpc; armhf) | 05:12 |
| dr_willis | yes | 05:12 |
| likes | joshuag: sorry, my phone died | 05:12 |
| apb1963_ | my main goal is really just to be able to run wireshark... which I was able to do with ubuntu-desktop (which the website said was actually unity). However, it was so sparse and years ago I tried both gnome and kde which I remember has having THINGS on the desktop... I just got lonely. :D | 05:15 |
| apb1963_ | s/has/as | 05:15 |
| dr_willis | wireshark should be able to run on any f the X desktops. or just on X with a window manager | 05:15 |
| dr_willis | !info wireshark | 05:15 |
| ubottu | wireshark (source: wireshark): network traffic analyzer - GTK+ version. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.8.2-5wheezy4build0.13.04.1 (raring), package size 890 kB, installed size 2375 kB | 05:15 |
| apb1963_ | yeah | 05:15 |
| dr_willis | might as well use Lubuntu-desktop - its about as simple as it gets | 05:16 |
| apb1963_ | unity is simple... too simple. I like to see at least a handful of icons... I'm used to the windoze look & feel. | 05:16 |
| apb1963_ | <shudder> did I say that? | 05:17 |
| dr_willis | unity has a lot of advanced features its not 'simple' ;_ | 05:17 |
| dr_willis | !manual | 05:17 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 05:17 |
| dr_willis | but unity does want you to have proper 3d video card drivers | 05:17 |
| dr_willis | which may be why you get just a blank desktop | 05:17 |
| apb1963_ | I guess when I couldn't find wireshark through the desktop, I got a bit frustrated... finally ran it over an ssh connection from windoze. lol | 05:17 |
| dr_willis | from what you said. you had no desktop running if you saw no icons | 05:18 |
| === z_ is now known as Guest33395 | ||
| apb1963_ | Yeah, not sure about the video card... it's an old Dell I put back into service | 05:18 |
| dr_willis | lubuntu would be ideal for older low end hardware | 05:18 |
| apb1963_ | well... that could be... I was able to access a few things such as a word processor... there was an entry for firefox, thunderbird & mutt... but I really had to poke to find it all. | 05:19 |
| apb1963_ | I did like the background though. Just didn't like the lack of icons... everything was hidden. | 05:20 |
| dr_willis | as i said.. you did NOT have unity running properly | 05:21 |
| dr_willis | see the unity/ubuntu manual or youtube vidoes to se ehow its supposed to look | 05:21 |
| apb1963_ | dunno... just did an apt-get install ubuntu-desktop... then startx | 05:21 |
| apb1963_ | Gave me a background... I figured that was the whole enchilada. | 05:21 |
| dr_willis | startx is a bit outdated these days also. start the lightdm service. well it should auto start | 05:22 |
| apb1963_ | autostart after installing? | 05:22 |
| dr_willis | and you will still need proper 3d drivers support for unity to work right | 05:22 |
| dr_willis | the serevices start on bootup | 05:22 |
| dr_willis | sudo service lightdm start to ttart it manually | 05:22 |
| apb1963_ | lets be clear.. unity and ubuntu-desktop are the same? yes or no? | 05:22 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu-sesktop INSTALLS the core ubuntu packages. | 05:23 |
| dr_willis | unity is the default desktop | 05:23 |
| dr_willis | so no they are not the same | 05:23 |
| dr_willis | in the same way a 'house' is not a 'kitchen' | 05:23 |
| apb1963_ | so unity is the kitchen | 05:23 |
| b0rg | hello | 05:23 |
| dr_willis | !unity | 05:24 |
| ubottu | Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity | 05:24 |
| dr_willis | unity is a stove.. in the kitchen | 05:24 |
| apb1963_ | let me go back to lightdm and see what happens | 05:24 |
| dr_willis | install the lubuntu-desktop package for a fallback desktop | 05:24 |
| ghostnik11 | hi, i am in a new time zone and location and the time in my ubuntu 13.04 never changed its showing the time of my last location | 05:24 |
| ghostnik11 | i thought its suppose to just switch based on location or do i have to do it manually, the time change that is | 05:25 |
| dr_willis | ghostnik11: ive never seen it auto-change | 05:25 |
| dr_willis | the installer checksand suggests.. but ive nevver seen it auto-change | 05:25 |
| apb1963_ | I guess I have video card issues... lightdm gave me a bunch of horizontal lines | 05:25 |
| dr_willis | apb1963_: weird.. since you saw a wallpaper. | 05:26 |
| apb1963_ | yes | 05:26 |
| ghostnik11 | dr_willis, so i have to do it manually then, okay | 05:26 |
| dr_willis | determina your video card with the 'lspci' command | 05:26 |
| apb1963_ | VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)] | 05:27 |
| dr_willis | so the ati fglrs drivers may or may not work for that card | 05:27 |
| dr_willis | fglrx | 05:27 |
| ghostnik11 | dr_willis, i think its trying to figure it out from network but i am on a new network and not the one that i was on yesterday | 05:28 |
| apb1963_ | I'm voting on "not" | 05:28 |
| === jimmy_lo is now known as jimmy_lo_chien_f | ||
| dr_willis | i dont use ati any mre. so i dont keep u with them | 05:28 |
| apb1963_ | unless you're saying I need to install | 05:28 |
| dr_willis | i dont keep up with them.. ;) | 05:28 |
| dr_willis | the fglrx drivers are NOT installed by default. | 05:29 |
| apb1963_ | o i c | 05:29 |
| dr_willis | the open sourced ati drivers are | 05:29 |
| dr_willis | !fglrx | 05:29 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 05:29 |
| ghostnik11 | dr_willis, this is strange when i go into time and date to change the time, it changes it back and won't let me | 05:29 |
| dr_willis | ghostnik11: perhaps check askubuntu.com - i cant recall ever changeing the time in years. ;) | 05:30 |
| dr_willis | not since indiana went to est with DST | 05:30 |
| apb1963_ | Is this a match? Msi X300 se It says "RV370" same as mine... but obviously mine doesn't say MSI so I'd guess "no". Your take please? | 05:33 |
| Muny | Does anyone here know how I could proxy connections from a server with no firewall to a server with a firewall (unable to portforward)? | 05:34 |
| apb1963_ | I think I found it at http://free3d.org/ | 05:36 |
| Muny | Does anyone here know how I could proxy connections from a server with no firewall to a server with a firewall (unable to portforward)? | 05:36 |
| dr_willis | msi is a brand. the actual chipset is whats imporntant | 05:36 |
| apb1963_ | ATI RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)] AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 4200+ (1GHz) | 05:37 |
| dr_willis | Muny: ssh tunnles perhaps. they are handy for lots of cases. | 05:37 |
| apb1963_ | That looks like a better match | 05:37 |
| ghostnik11 | dr_willis, thanks askubuntu said ntpd and ntp then went to date and time and got a chance to switch city. thanks bro | 05:38 |
| Muny | dr_willis: Do you have a link or anything that explains how I could use an SSH tunnel in my case? | 05:38 |
| dr_willis | !ssh | 05:38 |
| b0rg | hello i have a question im looking at going to linux and walking away from windows any suggestions for new users in regurads to linux i have been reading on the web and thier is quite a few to say the least | 05:38 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 05:38 |
| phaedra | Muny: Also you might want to ask that in #ubuntu-server | 05:38 |
| dr_willis | !manual | b0rg | 05:38 |
| ubottu | b0rg: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 05:38 |
| devslash | is there a way to force all traffic thru my vpn connection and not allow it otherwise | 05:39 |
| b0rg | thank you | 05:40 |
| apb1963_ | so the website I mentioned is apparently a benchmarks website for glxgears... does this mean anything to you? | 05:41 |
| dr_willis | glxgears is just one tool for measureing 3d preformance | 05:41 |
| Muny | dr_willis: Keep in mind I can't connect to the server behind the firewall from the server with no firewall...so the way I was thinking won't work | 05:41 |
| dr_willis | Muny: have the server extablish the tunnel to the other box perhaps? | 05:42 |
| dr_willis | reverse tunnel | 05:42 |
| devslash | does anyone know ? | 05:42 |
| Ari-Yang | glxgears isn't that good for benchmarking, that's what I heard... | 05:43 |
| dr_willis | i thought thats how it worked by default devslash | 05:43 |
| dr_willis | glexears is mor eof a test.. | 05:43 |
| dr_willis | ots not much of a benchmark really | 05:43 |
| devslash | dr_willis, no. if i put my laptop to sleep when i wake it up, the wifi automatically reconnects but the vpn doesnt | 05:44 |
| Muny | dr_willis: So once I establish a tunnel from the server behind the firewall to the other server, what would I do to proxy connections to the server behind the firewall? | 05:44 |
| dr_willis | Muny: not sure. ive just read guide s and seen examples. never really had to do it. | 05:45 |
| dr_willis | once you got a tunnel any access to the tunnel goes to the remote on that port from what ive seen. | 05:46 |
| Captain_Crow | how up to date are ubuntu's gpu drivers for opengl? | 05:46 |
| dr_willis | !latest | 05:46 |
| ubottu | Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 05:46 |

| boggle | I'm interested in starting with a minimal ubuntu install on my laptop and then building on it so i can try out some different DEs, etc. (like arch, without the urge to rip out my fingernails) could i just use the server iso from the website? what would i be missing by going that route, other than unity? would wifi not work out of the box, for instance? | 05:51 |
| netlar | Hi | 05:52 |
| apb1963_ | Found this: "RV370 Radeon X300, M22" as the closest match and being fully supported. But there's that M22 I don't know what that means... mine is Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)] so maybe that's why I get horizontal lines? | 05:54 |

| touristtam | hi just a quick noobish question: can I downgrade from 12.10 to 12.04 LTS ? did the upgrade by mistake (unclear message and years of windows usage did the trick :/ ) | 06:54 |
| auronandace | AcidRain2012: i wanted to see the screen after you click choose | 06:54 |
| AcidRain2012 | auronandace, sorry :/ hang on | 06:54 |
| auronandace | touristtam: no | 06:54 |
| dr_willis | err.. thats saing for magnet links. not .torrent files | 06:54 |
| wilee-nilee | touristtam, You will have to do a fresh install to get 12.04 back, there is 13.04 as well. | 06:55 |
| dr_willis | touristtam: may as well go on to 13.04 ;) | 06:55 |

| auronandace | AcidRain2012: what is the output of cat /etc/issue | 06:56 |
| AcidRain2012 | dr_willis, so what is stopping ubuntu from doing a normal update? and just keep updating. why do they insist on doing full upgrade? | 06:56 |
| touristtam | feth me, I am raging right now, can't remember seeing any mention of upgrade to 12.10 in that partial upgrade message .... it doesnt make me feel very confident in using ubuntu | 06:56 |
| AcidRain2012 | Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS \n \l | 06:56 |
| auronandace | AcidRain2012: torrent files already open with transmission by default on 12.04 | 06:57 |
| AcidRain2012 | dr_willis, so issues like what touristtam is talking about wont happen. because i too once suffered from such | 06:57 |
| dr_willis | normally it asks for LTS to LTS or fro one NON lts to the next.. Unless you check some check box for it to ask for lts -> nonlts | 06:57 |
| coder2 | Hello. I've just confirmed last auto-update on my laptop. It delivers new kernel linux-image-3.2.0-52-generic (was 3.2.0-51) and fglrx-updates/amdccle-updates. The update broke display brightness control. Please help me to fix this. | 06:57 |
| AcidRain2012 | auronandace, when i click on a torrent file, weather it be a file, or a link, it shows me the first picture that i showed u | 06:57 |
| dr_willis | AcidRain2012: if that optcion is checked.. it will ask for LTS to non lts. | 06:57 |
| touristtam | dr_willis: do you know where would that pesky checkbox be? | 06:59 |
| auronandace | AcidRain2012: cinnamon is not supported on 12.04 anyway | 06:59 |
| dr_willis | touristtam: you checked it at one time.. its not the default. Not sure where its at | 06:59 |
| dr_willis | normally people ask where its at to enable it. | 06:59 |

| brucewhealton | Hello all... I'm looking for help with networking on ubuntu. For example, how could I get a message that says there is no internet connection when I am browsing and using the internet on my Ubuntu box? I first installed Ubuntu Server then added the Kubuntu desktop | 10:11 |
| bazhang | !irc > xwalk | 10:11 |
| ubottu | xwalk, please see my private message | 10:11 |
| k1l | brucewhealton: you were here yesterday, too? | 10:12 |
| brucewhealton | k1l: No, I haven't been here in a long while | 10:12 |
| k1l | brucewhealton: on a server the network is handeled by the /etc/network/interfaces and not the Networkmanager. if you want the NM to handle the networking comment out the devices in the interfaces file (except the "lo" one) | 10:13 |
| brucewhealton | I was trying to find my IP address on the internet network for my ubuntu system | 10:13 |
| brucewhealton | So, do I run a command called interfaces | 10:17 |
| k1l | no | 10:17 |
| brucewhealton | I don't know if it is a desktop app or a terminal command | 10:18 |
| k1l | it is a configuration file | 10:18 |
| brucewhealton | Oh, ok | 10:19 |
| brucewhealton | so, how do I find the IP assigned to the ubuntu server - the internal IP? | 10:20 |
| k1l | if you just want to know the ip type "ifconfig" | 10:21 |
| BluesKaj | HI folks | 10:21 |
| brucewhealton | <k1l> thanks | 10:23 |

| codephobic | hi, | 10:29 |
| codephobic | just recently I've been having a lot of problems with a virtualbox windows 7 guest. | 10:30 |
| codephobic | it randomly freezes up and sometimes reboots | 10:30 |
| bazhang | codephobic, try #vbox | 10:30 |
| codephobic | bazhang, I'm trying to figure out whether it is ubuntu specific | 10:30 |
| codephobic | my host is ubuntu 13.04 and virtualbox is 4.2.16 | 10:31 |
| gry | suppose just try on a fresh setup with a different OS to figure that out, rather than ask at the distro channel | 10:31 |
| codephobic | k | 10:31 |
| brucewhealton | I think my web hosting provider did something unexpected. All my forwarding rules, set in the router config are now set to 0.0.0.0 and not the external IP address. They also changed the username for my network. | 10:32 |
| gry | change them back and save in the iptables config file | 10:33 |
| gry | possibly also contact your host to ask what's up i guess | 10:33 |
| BluesKaj | codephobic, do you have windows updates on auto , if so you may be running out of resources at times | 10:33 |
| codephobic | BluesKaj, I do but I should be ok for resources, I have 16GB of RAM and an ok cpu | 10:35 |
| tuxxxer | hello all. i have a problem during apt-get update "W: GPG error: http://mirrors.dotsrc.org precise-getdeb Release: " | 10:35 |
| brucewhealton | I was curious about how popular newsgroups are... My ISP stopped supporting newsgroups years ago. I would ask for anyone's feedback on the popularity of newsgroups | 10:35 |
| tuxxxer | what should i do to fix it? | 10:36 |
| BluesKaj | codephobic, how much RAM and disk space is assigned to VB? | 10:36 |
| k1l | !ot | brucewhealton | 10:36 |
| ubottu | brucewhealton: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 10:36 |
| codephobic | BluesKaj, I set 4GB of RAM and 2 cores plus 60GB disk for the windows 7 guest | 10:37 |
| === ubuntu is now known as SLayeRDK | ||
| BluesKaj | codephobic, do you have guest additions installed too ? | 10:38 |
| codephobic | BluesKaj, yep | 10:38 |
| brucewhealton | sorry about that. I was wondering what resources exist for getting support for Ubuntu | 10:39 |
| SLayeRDK | question: is there a failsafe boot option for 12.04 _ | 10:39 |
| k1l | brucewhealton: irc, askubuntu, ubuntu forums, local groups, commercial support by canonical,... | 10:39 |
| codephobic | BluesKaj, it's a very recent issue (5-6 days) of instability and I found that setting the screen size smaller (1920*1200 native, VM is at 1680*1050) reduced the frequency of crashes... but I can't figure out why it is happening at all. | 10:40 |
| brucewhealton | cool... | 10:40 |
| codephobic | this is why I suspected that it was a recent ubuntu 13.04 update issue, as I've had quite a few "glitches" occur with this iteration of ubuntu. | 10:41 |
| BluesKaj | codephobic, I'm not real impressed with VB gtaphics driver , dunno why VB can't use the same driver as ubuintu | 10:41 |
| BluesKaj | err graphics | 10:42 |
| paul_beginner | hi | 10:43 |
| brucewhealton | so, what about issues related to configuring email in Ubuntu? I need a mta to send email, so can someone recommend an email server for Ubuntu? I know only about Exim. | 10:43 |
| codephobic | BluesKaj, yeah that's something I found odd too. Googled a bit and the best answer I found (and have probably misunderstood) is that it would give VBox direct access to the graphics engine and thus mean that it could bring down the whole system ... | 10:43 |
| BluesKaj | codephobic, or windows version | 10:43 |
| BluesKaj | of the same driver | 10:44 |
| codephobic | BluesKaj, I don't use windows much but it might be worth installing ubuntu in VBox in a host W7 rather than the way I'm going. | 10:44 |
| codephobic | to be honest, I used to much prefer ubuntu, faster, robust and leaner - allowed me to run 4 headless VMs and learn all sorts of things. | 10:45 |
| alex___ | hi , when i change my icon theme , icon on the top right ( battery , wireless and audio ) take an ugly theme | 10:45 |
| codephobic | now I find Windows 7 is probably a good deal more stable than Ubuntu 13 and also less of a resource drain. | 10:45 |
| BluesKaj | codephobic, well asking in vbox looks like the next step | 10:45 |
| codephobic | BluesKaj, thanks for the responses :) I've asked there too ... but it's a bit dead in there. | 10:46 |

| Awaken | i know u can sudo into any acct | 12:03 |
| wilee-nilee | paul_beginner, What is it your doing in .conf? | 12:03 |
| === dan_ is now known as Guest99233 | ||
| Slart | Awaken: I suppose it could mean "substitute user do" as well (suggested by wikipeda) | 12:04 |
| Eagleman | Is the script run by the user DoT, i am not sure since there is also a root user in the list: http://pastebin.com/WNWpqTsL | 12:07 |
| wilee-nilee | Eagleman, How is this related to ubuntu support? | 12:07 |
| Eagleman | becuase i am using ubuntu? | 12:08 |
| wilee-nilee | Eagleman, there is not enough context or details. | 12:08 |
| Eagleman | well i want to run that command as a different user, but i am not sure if it runs as a different user | 12:09 |
| theadmin | Eagleman: /gameservers is not a directory provided by any Ubuntu package (also a terrible idea to place your files somewhere where the FHS doesn't define) | 12:09 |
| wilee-nilee | Eagleman, what does this command show lsb_release -a | 12:09 |
| theadmin | Eagleman: "sudo" runs stuff as root. | 12:09 |
| === babilen is now known as Guest25704 | ||
| paul_beginner | in order the get the prog running i needed to define my username and save it | 12:10 |
| theadmin | Eagleman: Your command is... weird. Use this: sudo -u dot /gameservers/sa-mp/samp03svr | 12:10 |
| wilee-nilee | paul_beginner, what program? | 12:10 |
| paul_beginner | wilee-nilee: but its working fine now thanks again | 12:11 |
| Eagleman | theadmin, it needs to run in a screen as a different user, and i should be able to access it as root when using screen -ls | 12:11 |
| ikonia | Eagleman: access it as root using screen -ls ??? | 12:11 |
| paul_beginner | kismet is the name | 12:11 |
| ikonia | Eagleman: screen has nothing to do with the user | 12:11 |
| ActionPa1snip | theadmin: its as another user as far as I can see, not just root, if you specify a username, the command you run will be launched as that user and not root | 12:11 |
| theadmin | ActionPa1snip: Yes, that is correct, -u can give sudo a username to run commands as | 12:12 |
| ActionPa1snip | theadmin: the default is root, that's all | 12:12 |
| Eagleman | ikonia, i cant run the screen command on the user dot, becuase i cant access ps/aux or something | 12:12 |
| theadmin | Eagleman: Hm. Well, anyway, according to the output you have there, the command you have does work | 12:12 |
| ActionPa1snip | theadmin: its like su in many ways, but you use your own password as authentication, not the user you want to run as | 12:12 |
| theadmin | ActionPa1snip: Hey, I know how sudo works :P | 12:13 |
| ikonia | Eagleman: how did you become the user dot | 12:13 |
| Eagleman | su dot | 12:13 |
| ikonia | Eagleman: and that's why | 12:13 |
| ikonia | Eagleman: your controlling terminal will be owned by the user you did "su" as | 12:13 |
| Eagleman | but the user dot only has sftp access | 12:13 |
| theadmin | ActionPa1snip: Overcomplicating hardly ever helps the issue, that's all | 12:13 |
| ikonia | Eagleman: how do they only have sftp access ? | 12:13 |
| ActionPa1snip | theadmin: you said sudo runs stuff as root, which isnt strictly true ;) | 12:13 |
| ActionPa1snip | theadmin: bit of useful info, might help to achieve future goals | 12:14 |
| theadmin | ActionPa1snip: Yes, I know all that, sudo simply switches to another UID/GID to execute a command, that's all | 12:14 |
| Eagleman | ikonia: http://pastebin.com/gbGf0uji | 12:15 |
| tokern3 | how can i change control file in autotest? is it possible at all? | 12:15 |
| ikonia | Eagleman: what am I looking at ?? what is that file ? | 12:16 |
| Eagleman | ./etc/ssh/sshd_config | 12:17 |
| ikonia | Eagleman: is that a pam file ? | 12:17 |
| ikonia | Eagleman: how do you expect them to run screen then if they are not allowed a controlling terminal ? | 12:17 |
| Eagleman | well, with the command i just showed | 12:17 |
| ikonia | Eagleman: they stil won't have a controlling terminal, and su (without the -) will leave the enviornment, and controlling terminal - as you, the user running it | 12:18 |
| ikonia | Eagleman: this sounds like a real mess | 12:18 |
| Eagleman | ikonia, i have no clue how to do it then | 12:19 |
| Eagleman | Create a different user and run it as that? | 12:20 |
| ikonia | Eagleman: to be honest, I don't know what your trying to do / end goal | 12:21 |
| Eagleman | ikonia, run a script in a screen as a different user than root, so if something goes wrong in the script, the attackers dont have root rights trough the script being run as root | 12:21 |
| ikonia | Eagleman: ok, so launch screen as a user, and run the script | 12:22 |
| ikonia | Eagleman: that user must have access to the controlling tty it's using | 12:22 |
| ikonia | and obviously the ability to run the command "screen" | 12:22 |
| Eagleman | ikonia, looks like non of the non root users have access to the command screen: Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/3' - please check. | 12:23 |
| ikonia | Eagleman: that is the controlling terminal ! | 12:23 |
| ikonia | Eagleman: what user are you logged in as when you do "su" | 12:23 |
| Eagleman | so how can i switch user from root, su isnt working. a new ssh session does work, and i am able to use screen | 12:24 |
| paul_beginner | thanks for all the help. i'll try later on. bye | 12:25 |
| ikonia | Eagleman: why are you root ? | 12:25 |
| ikonia | Eagleman: the ubuntu setup locks root - why are you root | 12:25 |
| Eagleman | ikonia, i never understood this shell enviroment stuff, i always do sudo su, so i dont have to use sudo infront of every command | 12:25 |
| ikonia | despite you being in tihs channel a lot of the time and you see people saying "don't do that" | 12:26 |
| daftykins | >_< | 12:26 |
| chillpill_ | dont do that!! | 12:26 |
| daftykins | Eagleman: you ought to use best practices | 12:26 |
| ikonia | Eagleman: simple solutions 1.) launch screen as your current user, then IN THE SCREEN SESSION su - user (note the -) | 12:26 |
| ikonia | Eagleman: 2.) change the ownership/permissions on the tty you are using | 12:26 |
| ikonia | Eagleman: 3.) login via a session and run screen as that user, so you have access to the controlling terminal | 12:27 |
| ikonia | Eagleman: and then stop doing sudo su | 12:27 |
| ikonia | any of that work for you | 12:27 |
| ActionPa1snip | Eagleman: you can use: sudo -i but sudo has a grace period meaning you will not be asked for password for a while after entering it | 12:28 |
| chillpill_ | sudo su is not for me, say that loudly three times. | 12:28 |
| wilee-nilee | lol | 12:28 |
| Eagleman | sudo su is not for me xD | 12:28 |
| ikonia | Eagleman: do any of those solutions meet your needs ? | 12:29 |
| Eagleman | any guides around on how this enviroments work, in normal english? | 12:29 |
| Eagleman | ikonia, hold on trying it | 12:29 |
| ikonia | Eagleman: this enviorment work ?? what enviornment work | 12:29 |
| Eagleman | all those su and sudo command, what they do and how they work | 12:30 |
| ikonia | Eagleman: man su, man sudo | 12:30 |
| ikonia | Eagleman: can't get any clearer and easier than that | 12:30 |
| ActionPa1snip | Eagleman: su is to switch user, sudo allows you to run commands as other users (root by default) | 12:30 |
| chillpill_ | or break things really fast and end up reinstalling over and over again. | 12:30 |
| MonkeyDust | if you don't know what you are doing | 12:31 |
| geekbri | you shoudl be able to use sudo to change users as well actually. sudo -i -u <some user> Should give you a login shell as the desired user | 12:31 |
| chillpill_ | after about the third of forth time, all the fun has gone out if it. | 12:31 |
| Kartagis | Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) <--- how can I find out this card's maximum supported resolution under ubuntu? | 12:33 |
| chillpill_ | time for my yoga class have a good one, all. | 12:33 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: go to intel.com and read it's spec | 12:34 |
| ActionPa1snip | Kartagis: xrandr should show it (assuming it has a driver) | 12:34 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: that will tell you it's supported resolution, it may need more/less ram allocating in the bios to get diferent settings | 12:34 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: intel.com is your friend | 12:34 |

| adamk | ActionPa1snip: xrandr will show the maximum resolution supported by that combination of monitor and video card. It won't show the maximum resolution supported by just the video card. | 12:36 |
| ikonia | theadmin: please don't say an optimus card ? | 12:36 |
| theadmin | ikonia: I honestly have no idea how to tell if it is one | 12:36 |
| ikonia | theadmin: is it one of the intel+nvidia ones, or two seperate cards, nvidia / intel | 12:37 |
| theadmin | ikonia: Uhm. I haven't looked inside. lspci | grep -i vga says this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6010121/ | 12:37 |
| adamk | theadmin: Is there any option in the BIOS to disable either of the GPUs? | 12:38 |
| ikonia | theadmin: I don't recognise that model, I don't know if that's an optimus or not, interesting | 12:38 |
| theadmin | adamk: No, the BIOS setup on this machine is terrible, I hardly managed to configure the boot order :/ | 12:39 |
| Kartagis | I can't seem to find out what the chipset is :S | 12:40 |
| ActionPa1snip | adamk: depends if you set your res less than max | 12:40 |
| xrc | looks to me like an optimus machine ( I get the same output on mine) | 12:40 |
| adamk | theadmin: Then it's Optimus. | 12:40 |
| ActionPa1snip | theadmin: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Laptops/Dell/XPS/15z seen that one? | 12:41 |
| Kartagis | ActionPa1snip: xrandr doesn't work remotely :S | 12:41 |
| theadmin | adamk: Ah... Sad. I don't want to mess with Bumblebee | 12:41 |
| ActionPa1snip | Kartagis: sure it does | 12:41 |
| theadmin | ActionPa1snip: Ah thanks | 12:41 |
| adamk | ActionPa1snip: My point is that if the maximum resoluiton supported by the video card is 2048x2048, but the maximum resolution of the monitor is 1680x1050, xrandr will only list up to 1680x1050, so you are not actually seeing the maximum resolution of the video card, which is what Kartagis was asking for. | 12:41 |
| ActionPa1snip | Kartagis: export DISPLAY=0:0 xrandr | 12:41 |
| Kartagis | sudo xrandr | 12:42 |

| ActionPa1snip | adamk: ahh i see | 12:42 |
| ActionPa1snip | Kartagis: ^ xrandr also does not need sudo | 12:42 |
| Ultimate4 | Hello there. Lately i was upgrading from ubuntu 11.10 to ubuntu 12.04 LTS through package manager. There are five main phases of updating:- 1. Looking for updates, 2. Downloading updates, 3. Installing updates, 4. Deleting uncompressed and downloaded packages, and 5. Restarting computer. My computer shuts down just at the end of 3rd phase when just two or three minutes were remaining. | 12:42 |
| ActionPa1snip | Kartagis: export DISPLAY=0:0; xrandr sorry | 12:43 |
| ActionPa1snip | Kartagis: works, right? | 12:43 |
| wilee-nilee | !eol | Ultimate4 | 12:43 |
| ubottu | Ultimate4: 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 | 12:43 |
| MaximB | hello, does the live install cd use the hard disks in ANY way when it loads the system? | 12:43 |
| Kartagis | Can't open display 0:0 | 12:43 |
| ActionPa1snip | MaximB: I believe it will use swap if some is set | 12:43 |
| wilee-nilee | Ultimate4, A eol upgrade does not run from that. | 12:43 |
| theadmin | MaximB: If you have a swap partition, it will auto-swap-on it. | 12:43 |
| Ultimate4 | Now i can login without any problem in my new ubuntu 12.04 LTS and use any application without any problem. But i still think that there may be something that may be missing and one think i am noticing is that some 3 to 4 gb space is used by something. | 12:44 |
| theadmin | MaximB: Other than that, the LiveCD does not use the hard drives. | 12:44 |
| MaximB | ActionPa1snip: and if I have RAID but not sure what was installed before on it? | 12:44 |
| adamk_ | Kartagis, Are you trying to find out the maximum supported resolution of the video card, or the maximum supported resolution of that particular setup (ie. that monitor and video card together)? | 12:45 |
| theadmin | MaximB: Eh... You'd want the alternate installer for RAID. I don't think the graphical one works with that. | 12:45 |
| MaximB | what could be the reason it got stuck at boot screen? (the live cd) | 12:45 |
| wilee-nilee | Ultimate4, can you run sudo apt-get update and pastebin all the text | 12:45 |
| wilee-nilee | MaximB, stuck meaning? | 12:45 |
| ActionPa1snip | Kartagis: gimme a sec, i'll make you a pic | 12:46 |
| Kartagis | lspci --v told me the kernel driver is i1915 | 12:46 |
| Kartagis | -vv sorry | 12:46 |
| MaximB | it boots till "ubuntu boot scree" and after 3-4 min it stuck | 12:46 |
| ActionPa1snip | Kartagis: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8850924/fine.png works ok here | 12:46 |
| MaximB | i can move the mice and thats it | 12:46 |
| adamk_ | Kartagis, Is Xorg running on that machine? | 12:46 |
| thepeopleschamp_ | hi can someone help with this issue? | 12:46 |
| theadmin | ikonia: Okay so according to the info ActionPa1snip gave me this *is* an Optimus card. Figures it doesn't work, I'll try with Bumblebee. | 12:47 |
| thepeopleschamp_ | im tryin to listen to www.hot97.com but the radio does not play overseas from usa, is there anyway i can do this with an app or somethin in ubuntu? | 12:47 |
| amal | what issue | 12:47 |
| wilee-nilee | MaximB, Stuck means nothing, in what way? | 12:47 |
| Kartagis | adamk: GNOME does, but now sure about xorg | 12:47 |
| ikonia | theadmin: welcome to dissapointment, I'm sorry | 12:47 |
| theadmin | thepeopleschamp_: Tor may help if yo use a US exit node | 12:47 |
| ActionPa1snip | Kartagis: are you running similar? | 12:47 |
| theadmin | ikonia: Yeah sad. Should have made sure before I bought this :/ | 12:47 |
| thepeopleschamp_ | how? | 12:47 |
| MaximB | wilee-nilee: it doesn't boot to the OS | 12:47 |
| ikonia | theadmin: sorry, | 12:47 |
| Kartagis | similar? | 12:47 |
| MaximB | no erros | 12:47 |
| theadmin | thepeopleschamp_: Uh... I have written up a guide on askubuntu.com, let me find it. | 12:47 |
| ActionPa1snip | Kartagis: similar commands to mine | 12:48 |
| thepeopleschamp_ | i so want that station beein played in a media player stored in my system, is that possible? | 12:48 |
| thepeopleschamp_ | cool | 12:48 |
| wilee-nilee | MaximB, like a black screen? | 12:48 |
| theadmin | thepeopleschamp_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/312692/howto-run-tor-and-vidalia-on-ubuntu-easily-browse-and-im-anonymously/312693 | 12:48 |
| MaximB | no, the ubuntu loading screen\] | 12:48 |
| theadmin | thepeopleschamp_: That's about it. If it doesn't work automatically, add ExitNodes us to torrc. | 12:48 |
| ActionPa1snip | Kartagis: as those clearly work via ssh | 12:48 |
| ActionPa1snip | Kartagis: meaning it can be ran remotely | 12:49 |
| wilee-nilee | MaximB, Have you checked the sum or tried running the check disc there? | 12:49 |
| Kartagis | ActionPa1snip: I get "Can't open display 0:0 | 12:49 |
| Kartagis | " | 12:49 |
| theadmin | Anyway, rebooting time. Hope this works. | 12:49 |
| MaximB | the disk is fine as i've used it to install on other machine | 12:49 |
| ActionPa1snip | Kartagis: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue on the server? | 12:49 |
| ActionPa1snip | Kartagis: and does it have a running x server? | 12:50 |
| wilee-nilee | MaximB, Heh, famous last words | 12:50 |
| Kartagis | ubuntu 13.04 \n \l | 12:50 |
| Kartagis | GNOME is running, but not sure about x | 12:50 |
| ActionPa1snip | Kartagis: not sure then, but it can be ran remotely via ssh | 12:50 |
| MaximB | wilee-nilee: yes but that was yesterday | 12:50 |
| adamk_ | Kartagis, And, if the X server is running, is someone logged into it, or is it sitting at the login screen. | 12:50 |
| MaximB | it can't break up in 1 day | 12:50 |
| ActionPa1snip | Kartagis: gnome will need X to run | 12:50 |
| wilee-nilee | MaximB, The problem here is no actual details. | 12:51 |
| MaximB | but i have none | 12:51 |
| Kartagis | adamk: it's logged in, I left it that way | 12:51 |
| MaximB | no error msg,no output | 12:51 |
| free_mind | Hello everyone. I have a question regarding shutting down of a computer. I could be wrong, but is the bios of the computer responsible for the definitive execution of the shutdown to the hardware? So the operating system gives in the last the instructions to the bios 'you may shutdown'. Is this correct? | 12:52 |
| adamk_ | Kartagis, OK, well I have no idea why xrandr won't work then.. But if you want to know the maximum resolution you can get working on your machine, you can also check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file. Bear in mind that you actually asked for the maximum supported resolution of your video card, which is not necessarily the same thing as the maximum supported resolution on that particular machine. | 12:52 |
| theadmin | Okay, yay, bumblebee works. The only sad part about this is that I'm using an out-of-the-repos driver which is kinda worrying. | 12:53 |
| theadmin | Thanks ikonia and ActionPa1snip | 12:53 |
| Kartagis | adamk: sorry, I didn't see your question earlier. I'm trying to get it up to 1366x768 so that it shows full screen when I hook it up to a TV | 12:53 |
| adamk_ | Kartagis, If the TV isn't currently hooked up, then all this work is pointless. | 12:54 |
| Kartagis | adamk: if I can get it to that resolution, I can hook it up | 12:54 |
| free_mind | Or is this the wrong channel for my question ;) | 12:55 |
| Kartagis | adamk: what am I looking for in /var/log/Xorg.0.log? | 12:55 |
| adamk_ | Kartagis, That's not how X works :-) Each video output port is controlled separately by X. Getting 1366x768 on a port that doesn't have the TV hooked up has no bearing on whether or not 1366x768 will work on the port with the TV. | 12:55 |
| daftykins | free_mind: we support Ubuntu, not do your computer homework :) | 12:56 |
| free_mind | daftykins: well the computer runs Ubuntu... | 12:56 |
| daftykins | free_mind: doesn't count :) | 12:56 |
| Kartagis | adamk: so I should work with the TV hooked up? | 12:56 |
| free_mind | daftykins: well thanks for the pointer to start doing my homework then. | 12:57 |
| adamk_ | Kartagis, That's what I'm saying, yes. | 12:57 |
| adamk_ | Kartagis, Then, if Xorg doesn't detect the proper resolution for the TV, we can use xrandr to create a modeline and force that port to use that modeline. | 12:58 |
| Kartagis | adamk: I've hooked it up before, and confirmed that it doesn't go beyond 1260 something | 12:58 |
| Kartagis | adamk: also checked resolution settings | 12:58 |
| adamk_ | Kartagis, OK, so hook up the TV again and force X to use the resolution you want: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Adding_undetected_resolutions | 13:00 |

| Kartagis | adamk: is it even possible that X doesn't detect my maximum supported resolution even if I have the line Modes "1366x768" "1280x800" "1024x768" "800x600" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf? | 13:02 |

| spartan2276 | Hello, I know this is a Ubuntu Channel, but does anyone know the name of a public IRC PHP channel that does not requires an Invite? | 13:07 |
| MonkeyDust | spartan2276 type /msg alis list *php* <-- with the asterisks | 13:07 |
| spartan2276 | where do I type this? | 13:08 |
| MonkeyDust | spartan2276 here in the channel, a new window will open | 13:08 |
| Kartagis | spartan2276: ##php | 13:08 |
| k1l | !alis > spartan2276 | 13:08 |
| ubottu | spartan2276, please see my private message | 13:08 |
| babilen | spartan2276: You have to be registered with nickserv if you want to join ##php -- See "/msg nickserv help register" for details | 13:09 |
| BluesKaj | usually the server text is best | 13:09 |
| babilen | spartan2276: Ask in #freenode if you require further IRC related help - This isn't really on-topic in this channel. | 13:09 |
| yalan_dunya | <<<<mrb_hoşgeldin_tatlı_melek<<<<<< | 13:10 |
| Kartagis | spartan2276: +r and +i are not even close | 13:10 |
| spartan2276 | Ok thanks guys, sorry for being off-topic but need some serious PHP help. | 13:10 |
| babilen | spartan2276: Yes, register an account on IRC (ask in #freenode if you have problems doing that), identify to it and join ##php | 13:11 |
| theadmin | spartan2276: <?php echo phpinfo(); ?>. That's pretty much all this channel could help with ;) Go to ##php -- register first. | 13:11 |
| Kartagis | spartan2276: it would take you 10 secs to register | 13:11 |
| spartan2276 | ok thanks | 13:11 |
| xeon123 | My network interfaces start at eth2. It should start at eth0. Why this happens? | 13:12 |
| Kartagis | remember that most channels on freenode require that you be identified with nickserv | 13:12 |
| babilen | xeon123: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | 13:12 |
| Kartagis | xeon123: edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and reboot | 13:12 |
| Kartagis | spartan2276: remember that most channels on freenode require that you be identified with nickserv | 13:13 |
| babilen | No need to reboot, running "udevadm trigger" and/or reloading the modules should be enough. | 13:13 |
| adamk_ | Kartagis, Listing modes in /etc/X11/xorg.conf doesn't do much of anything these days. | 13:14 |
| tata | what I need to install for play MP4 sound? I have video but audio is missing | 13:14 |
| BluesKaj | tata, try VLC | 13:15 |
| tata | I prefer gnome player! | 13:16 |
| Kartagis | tata: or make sure the file is not actually missing audio | 13:16 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | heyo, don't suppose anyone here knows how to extract icons from a MSVC .res | 13:20 |
| daftykins | burg: have you identified what your LAN chipset is? | 13:20 |
| compdoc | burg, its not seeing your nic. does the command lspci show it? | 13:20 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | file? I'm looking to convert a windows icon theme to a theme for ubuntu | 13:21 |
| burg | compdoc, lspci shows: Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. Device e091 (rev 13) | 13:21 |
| theadmin | ntzrmtthihu777: There's an app called "Resource Hacker" that may help. It's for windows, but might run under Wine. | 13:22 |
| BluesKaj | burg, that's probly the wifi card , try this for ethernet , lspci | grep -i net | 13:24 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | theadmin: heh, I've used that before, but iirc it only functions on windows PE exe/dll files | 13:24 |
| theadmin | ntzrmtthihu777: Hm says it works with .res | 13:24 |
| theadmin | ntzrmtthihu777: Give it a try? Who knows. | 13:24 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | theadmin: just found something, giving that a shot. Never hurts to try, eh? | 13:26 |
| burg | BluesKaj, i do not have a wifi card | 13:26 |
| daftykins | BluesKaj: atheros do wired too ;) | 13:26 |
| BluesKaj | burg, ip a | grep eth0 | 13:27 |
| varunendra | burg, to exactly identify your card and possibly the driver in use (if there is any) - "lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net" | 13:27 |

| penelope | I'm new but was getting Mint up, running and looking good I think in my exuberance I decided i had a lot of programs I don't need and I believe I took off the gnome-cinnomon desktop. I now get an error booting up that says "gnome session-cinnamon2d not found | 13:35 |
| burg | varunendra, i will install ubuntu server again (actually i got an error when installing, maybe that is the cause) and i will come back with the network issue. i believe it is not possible to install the network driver, if missing, while installing the server, right? | 13:35 |
| burg | varunendra, to also have internet connection while installing | 13:35 |
| wilee-nilee | penelope, mint is not supported here is all. | 13:35 |
| penelope | Like I said, I'm new at this. On the upside (maybe) I also have zorin installed. Is there a way I can put necessary files back in Mint from Zorin? | 13:35 |
| ActionPa1snip | penelope: zorin is also not ubuntu | 13:36 |
| wilee-nilee | penelope, This is ubuntu support only, you need to go to their channels for help. ;) | 13:36 |

| wilee-nilee | penelope, You might consider installing ubuntu it has much better support, the ubuntu forums supports all OS though. | 13:38 |
| BluesKaj | free_mind, my wireless headphones don't work with multi channel (above 2) digital signals , and the hdmi audio loops back from my tv as pcm , which works | 13:38 |
| varunendra | burg, I'm not familiar with server installation process, but if you have internet connection while installing, then you maybe able to install the driver during the installation by choosing to 'install third party applications & proprietary drivers' if such an option is available. | 13:38 |

| jephb | i have something i don't understand in samba file server. when i am configuring samba file server and assume i have 10 computer running windows 7 and they have to have access with diferent level of permission on a given folder how do i need to create those 10 users on the server so that whoever want a file on the server will connect from the client running windows using the username i have create on the server or the users are those create on windows machine | 13:40 |
| jephb | and already exist | 13:40 |
| burg | varunendra, i don`t have an internet connection because i don`t have the driver | 13:40 |
| free_mind | BluesKaj: ah okay. Although wireless headphones wouldn't be my choose... I prefer wired. :) | 13:40 |
| wilee-nilee | penelope, All the drivers in those other OS will run in ubuntu. | 13:40 |
| wilee-nilee | penelope, You just have to know how to load them, they are ubuntu derivatives, and linux. | 13:41 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | theadmin: hehe, I coulda sworn this only opened pe exe/dlls, lol. Reshacker did it for me, but I was hoping for some command line utility, makes batch conversion far simpler ;) | 13:42 |
| BluesKaj | free_mind, wireless 'phones have come a long way , my sennheisers have excellent sound | 13:42 |

| theadmin | ntzrmtthihu777: It's pretty much exactly the same as in Precise except a few polishments. | 13:50 |
| theadmin | wilee-nilee: Yeah I know, this is why I figured :D | 13:50 |
| wilee-nilee | I figured you did. ;) | 13:50 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | convoi: yep, that's my current flavour of choice, but if unity is a bit better for this multitouch I'll maybe swap. | 13:55 |
| chxane | How do I uninstall everything associated with ubuntu-desktop on my ubuntu server? I want to make it console only like originally and I have done apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop but it is still booting to desktop and login. | 13:55 |
| Ari-Yang | if you have problems with Unity, just try out a different DE *shrugs* | 13:56 |
| theadmin | chxane: This is going to be a LONG command, so I'll pastebin it. | 13:56 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | chxane: ubuntu-desktop is only a metapackage, it just requires everything else for you. | 13:56 |
| wilee-nilee | chxane, Thats a backwards method. | 13:56 |
| Ari-Yang | I tried gnome, cinnamon, and E17 | 13:56 |

| Ari-Yang | mmmmhmmm | 13:57 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yep, its just a compiz plugin | 13:57 |
| chxane | wilee-nilee, yeah I installed the desktop initially but this computer is too slow to handle some applications I am running on the desktop anyway so going to make it go back to terminal only | 13:57 |

| ActionPa1snip | convoi: can you pastebin the output of: sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; uname -a | 14:00 |
| Ari-Yang | convoi, most likely you are using the open source driver, which doesn't have proper DPM (dynamic power management), so your laptop will run hot like how mine used to. I installed a mainline kernel and added the boot parameter radeon.dpm=1 to enable proper dynamic power management and my laptop doesn't run hot anymore with open source drivers | 14:01 |

| stuartsierra | A mystery: yesterday, for a few hours, apt-get couldn't find "build-essential" failed on Ubuntu "Precise" on EC2. Today it works fine. | 14:06 |
| Ari-Yang | convoi, AMD HD3000 series should run cool with the open source driver and fglrx, you said so yourself you were fine on 12.04 until upgrading to 12.10, so it's a 12.10 kernel bug | 14:07 |

| convoi | good evening lesser | 14:15 |
| segads | i need a little help for ubunto server | 14:15 |
| segads | ubuntu | 14:15 |
| stuartsierra | And now it happens again. One successful, then on a second EC2 instance, running an Ubuntu Precise AMI, "Package build-essential is not available." Any suggestions? | 14:16 |
| varunendra | burg, looks like I was wrong.. the device does seem to be supported by the linux driver "alx" (reading the same thread, and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2008332) | 14:17 |
| convoi | stuartsierra, you should select best server in software sources and try to update again | 14:18 |
| lesser_panda | So I am a recent convert (huzzah!) and I'm all excited to dive into the meat-and-potatoes of using Linux, specifically Ubuntu. I was curious if there were any recommended resources out there. | 14:18 |
| segads | hello | 14:18 |
| segads | can someone help me with ubuntu server | 14:19 |
| segads | the static ip configuration | 14:19 |
| stuartsierra | convoi: OK, thanks. This is an automated remote build using Packer. Do I need to modify sources.list or some other config? | 14:19 |
| somsip | stuartsierra: it might be that the designated repo server for that AWS region/however-it-works is problematic | 14:19 |
| burg | varunendra, and how do i enable it? | 14:19 |
| stuartsierra | somsip: I was starting to wonder about that. `apt-get update` reports it's hitting archive.ubuntu.com | 14:20 |
| somsip | stuartsierra: I'm surprised. I'm sure my precise AWS servers hit an AWS URL | 14:20 |
| stuartsierra | I didn't save the logs from the successful run, so I don't know if it was using a different server that time. | 14:20 |
| somsip | stuartsierra: like: http://us-east-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ | 14:21 |
| stuartsierra | Maybe it has something to do with which AWS Availability Zone the instance starts in? | 14:21 |
| stuartsierra | somsip: Yes, I've seen that before too. | 14:21 |
| varunendra | burg, which version of Ubuntu are you using? I think the 13.04 kernel already contains the required driver. | 14:21 |
| somsip | stuartsierra: looking at the URL, it seems so. I usually find AWS repos are fast and up to date | 14:21 |
| burg | varunendra, 12.04 lts | 14:21 |
| Ari-Yang | convoi, sorry for going afk, my internet is acting up :/ | 14:21 |
| convoi | segads, http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-ubuntu-server-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address/ | 14:22 |
| Ari-Yang | convoi, so get the kernel image that is suited for your OS from here http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-next/ (get the one that was released today, 2-21) | 14:22 |
| varunendra | burg, then you will have to build the driver. See if you can follow this thread : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2008332 | 14:22 |
| stuartsierra | somsip: So maybe I need to force apt to use a particular package server. | 14:23 |
| Ari-Yang | convoi, you can grab the headers too in case you will be building kernel modules etc. | 14:23 |
| === gbit86_ is now known as gbit86 | ||
| convoi | get both of linux-image and linux-header? Ari-Yang | 14:23 |
| convoi | ok | 14:23 |
| Ari-Yang | convoi, you don't need the header really, but you ofc need the image to boot into the new kernel | 14:23 |
| somsip | stuartsierra: I have no experience using that. If you are doing a lot of data transfer and you use a repo out of your region you will pay more data transfer costs IIRC, but for simple updates it's not going to amount to much | 14:23 |
| somsip | s/using/doing | 14:23 |
| Ari-Yang | like you can just download the image (that's 32bit, not the 64bit one), install, then reboot | 14:24 |
| stuartsierra | Hm. All 4 instances started in the same AWS Zone. 1 worked, 3 didn't. | 14:24 |
| somsip | stuartsierra: all the same repo URL? | 14:24 |
| convoi | ok Ari-Yang, i'm trying | 14:24 |
| varunendra | burg, for detailed step-by-step help, if you need it, a thread in Ubuntu Forums would be the best idea. If you create a thread there, don't forget to post your hardware details and a link to the above thread for reference. | 14:24 |
| stuartsierra | somsip: That's what I don't know. I didn't keep that log. | 14:24 |
| Ari-Yang | convoi, after downloading it, install it, then add radeon.dpm=1 to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT of the grub file (/etc/default/grub) | 14:24 |
| Ari-Yang | you can place it right after your other parameter, just make sure you leave a space between the two. after that run sudo update-grub then reboot | 14:25 |
| somsip | stuartsierra: compare /etc/apt/sources.list | 14:25 |
| stuartsierra | The actual file contents should to be the same, since all the instances started from the same image. | 14:25 |
| adam5637 | .. | 14:26 |
| Ari-Yang | convoi, after you update, come back here on IRC #ubuntu channel and tell me how it goes | 14:27 |
| convoi | ok Ari-Yang, thank you. you really thoughtful | 14:27 |
| somsip | stuartsierra: I agree. | 14:27 |
| oliphant | I installed ubuntu with win 7 | 14:27 |
| oliphant | and am unable to boot into windows | 14:28 |
| stuartsierra | I'm going to try launching an instance from the base Ubuntu image and see what is there. | 14:28 |
| oliphant | the grub loader lists win 7 but it does not boot | 14:28 |
| oliphant | i tried boot-repair but still the same | 14:28 |
| Ari-Yang | convoi, happy to help, and this is what your line should look like GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash pcie_aspm=force radeon.dpm=1" | 14:28 |
| convoi | ^^ | 14:28 |
| Ari-Yang | you installing it now? | 14:29 |
| convoi | i'm downloading | 14:29 |
| Ari-Yang | ah | 14:29 |
| Ari-Yang | the one for 32bit, yes? | 14:29 |
| convoi | yes | 14:29 |
| oliphant | any suggestions i havent deleted the windows partitons | 14:29 |
| Ari-Yang | convoi, nice, (which wouldn't be the one marked as amd64) | 14:29 |
| oliphant | here is the boot-repair log http://paste.ubuntu.com/6010379/ | 14:30 |
| BluesKaj | oliphant, I have to ask , have you run sudo update-grub since booting into ubuntu? | 14:31 |
| convoi | anyone from vietnam? ^^ | 14:31 |
| oliphant | no i installed the boot-repair app the moment i figured that I wasn't able to boot in win7 | 14:32 |
| BluesKaj | oliphant, are you on the live-media or are you booted into ubuntu ? | 14:32 |
| Ari-Yang | convoi, (I missed any msgs you sent after my latest one because I d/ced) | 14:32 |
| wilee-nilee | oliphant, YOU have installed grub in the windows boot, follow this link. http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector | 14:33 |
| oliphant | right now i am booted into ubuntu but i can boot through the usb | 14:33 |
| wilee-nilee | oliphant, sda2 shows grub there. | 14:33 |
| convoi | nothing important Ari-Yang, i just blah blah blah ^^ | 14:34 |
| Ari-Yang | ah okay :b | 14:34 |
| convoi | anyone from vietnam giơ tay lên!!! ^^ | 14:35 |
| meenal | Hi, my ubuntu login screen is freezed , the rescue terminal still works , I tried "sudo apt-get update && sudo dist-upgrade" , as suggested in one of the online forums, but it does not work for me . Can someone please suggest a fix. | 14:36 |
| ActionPa1snip | meenal: can you type at all? | 14:36 |
| meenal | ActionPa1snip : in the homescreen I can type in the password, but then the mouse pointer and the screen freeze | 14:37 |
| meenal | I can enter into the rescue terminal and type stuff there | 14:37 |
| convoi | OMG, my laptop temperature is 96 C now, it'll shutdown at 100 C | 14:37 |
| ActionPa1snip | meenal: can you log in as guest> | 14:37 |
| BluesKaj | oliphant, did you run sudo update-grub ? | 14:37 |
| oliphant | wilee-nilee: i have a partition with windows recovery on it and the other with windows which one should i choose when running testdisc | 14:38 |
| meenal | ActionPa1snip, let me try doing that | 14:38 |
| convoi | 99 C... goodbye! | 14:38 |
| wilee-nilee | oliphant, sda2 is where the problem is | 14:38 |
| wilee-nilee | sda2 is C | 14:39 |
| meenal | ActionPa1snip, i can enter into guest but that too freezes on entering | 14:39 |
| ActionPa1snip | meenal: try a different session type | 14:40 |
| ActionPa1snip | meenal: preferably one without compositing | 14:40 |
| meenal | ActionPa1snip: Looks like the keyboard works fne , its the cursor thats freezing out | 14:40 |
| meenal | should I try a different session type for that too ? | 14:41 |
| Ari-Yang | convoi, you going to reboot? | 14:41 |
| ActionPa1snip | meenal: try unplugging and replugging in the mouse one you log in (I assue you use a usb mouse) | 14:41 |
| stuartsierra | Interesting. On the AMI I'm using, /etc/apt/sources.list is written by cloud-init on startup. | 14:41 |
| meenal | ActionPa1snip: I work on a laptop, not sure if thats an option here :\ | 14:41 |
| stuartsierra | Maybe my Packer script is running before cloud-init finishes. | 14:41 |
| meenal | nope , no usb mouse | 14:42 |
| newp | Hey folks, I'm back with yet another problem I've never countered or know how to fix. | 14:42 |
| ActionPa1snip | meenal: do you have a usb mouse? | 14:42 |
| stuartsierra | That might explain the inconsistent failures. | 14:42 |
| meenal | ActionPa1snip: No | 14:42 |
| Sna4x8 | After a recent update, my sound hiccups like crazy. Any input on how to fix the problem? | 14:44 |

| newp | I'll wait on queue | 14:46 |
| ActionPa1snip | calwig: sorry, lpr filename.pdf | 14:46 |
| stuartsierra | Yes, adding a delay to my Packer provisioning script made it work. | 14:47 |
| calwig | thx! | 14:47 |
| stuartsierra | Thanks for your help, somsip. | 14:47 |
| wilee-nilee | newp, Have you installed a graphic driver from the manufacturer of them say...nvidia? | 14:47 |
| newp | hey wilee lol, yes unfortunately. | 14:48 |
| somsip | stuartsierra: so the instance wasn;t fully loaded, including the AWS fixes, before the update script kicked in? | 14:48 |
| newp | this is the same machine you helped me w/ yesterday. it was booting fine & now all of a sudden it hangs after selecting the kernel at boot | 14:49 |
| === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman | ||
| stuartsierra | somsip: That appears to be the case. cloud-init modifies /etc/apt/sources.list in the background on boot. | 14:49 |
| ActionPa1snip | meenal: its fun to convert everything to pdf or ps then use the sme command, easy printing in CLI | 14:49 |
| wilee-nilee | newp, They do not follow kernel ujpgrades we just had one, you can get in with the kernel before this most likely, and fix it, I'm not up on the fix. use the repos drivers. | 14:49 |
| somsip | stuartsierra: I thought it did something like that, with them being different for different regions so can't be hard-coded in the AMI. Glad you got it sorted though :) | 14:49 |
| wilee-nilee | ubuntu repos* | 14:49 |
| newp | I'm a bit of a Ubuntu newp.. how do I go about that? | 14:50 |
| meenal | ActionPa1snip: i am using rescue terminal..looks like my "sudo apt-get install" is not working | 14:50 |
| nyuszika7h | anyone got an idea why the alert sound isn't working on beep? it works in the sound settings, but not in terminals or anywhere else | 14:51 |
| wilee-nilee | newp, At the boot menu there is access to other kernels I forget its exact name, if you get to the desk top I believe this command should work. sudo apt-get purge nvidia* sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 14:51 |
| newp | wilee: you mean the recovery console & drop to root shell prompt? I booted into there & updated packages + updated the grup bootloader. it then sent me to a black prompt screen & asked me to login | 14:54 |
| newp | however, even though I put in the correct login/pw it said they were incorrect. | 14:55 |
| wilee-nilee | newp, No it is another I just forget the name of it hold on. | 14:55 |
| wilee-nilee | newp, previous linux versions or something like that. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Submenus | 14:56 |
| newp | okay, thank you wilee. you are a lifesaver for newbs like me. | 14:56 |
| wilee-nilee | newp, Lets wait and see if this fixes it, before we declare that. ;) | 14:56 |
| newp | lol | 14:57 |
| wilee-nilee | newp, I'm in it to serve myself, glad you could be a part of it, lol. | 14:57 |
| newp | rebooting now, though I don't remember having the previous versions selection seeing this is a fresh install from last night | 14:58 |
| newp | yeah I don't get the previous versions option | 14:59 |
| wilee-nilee | newp, Ah you most likely had a kernel upgrade, and this adds that nottation. | 14:59 |
| meenal | ActionPa1snip: running "sudo apt-get install xfce4" asks to run apt-get -f install which shows http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=8EbEajqS | 14:59 |
| wilee-nilee | newp, So did you reboot to a working desktop originally then installed the nvidia from them? | 14:59 |
| meenal | this is the problem with any "apt-gt install" command i try | 15:00 |
| yepyep_ | Question. I'm trying to convert to GPT and I accidentally overwrote an extended partition which contained an LVM logical partition | 15:00 |
| ActionPa1snip | meenal: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 15:00 |
| yepyep_ | the extended partition is gone, but the logical partition appears to be still intact according to gparted | 15:01 |
| ActionPa1snip | meenal: its a single line, so you can paste in here direct | 15:01 |
| yepyep_ | how can I recreate the extended partititon with the logical partition inside? | 15:01 |
| meenal | Ubuntu 13.04 \n \l | 15:01 |
| k1l | meenal: which ubuntu is that exactly? what PPAs do you have (ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d), what does apt-get install -f bring? | 15:02 |
| ActionPa1snip | meenal: then I suggest you contact the ppa maintainer | 15:02 |
| newp | I have: "Ubuntu with Linux 3.5.0-23-generic, Ubuntu with Linux 3.5.0-23-generic (recovery mode), Memory test (memtest85+), Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200), Windows Recovery Enviorment (loader) (on /dev/sda2), Windows 8 (loader) (on /dev/sda2) & System setup | 15:02 |
| wilee-nilee | yepyep_, lvm is encrypted I doubt that any of that is recoverable at this point, from your description, but thats a guess. | 15:03 |
| newp | I booted into a working desktop after you helped me get it installed last night | 15:03 |
| ActionPa1snip | meenal: the packages you have, have overlapping files. This is frequent in PPAs as they are unofiicial package sources | 15:03 |
| wilee-nilee | newp, so when you boot now how far do you get | 15:04 |
| k1l | meenal: if you search for that package libwayland-client0_1.2.0-0ubuntu1~13.04~ricotz0_i386.deb you will find lots of users with problems. | 15:04 |
| newp | updated the system & shut down for the night. I woke up & now it's doing this | 15:04 |
| k1l | meenal: use ppa-purge to get rid of that PPA | 15:04 |
| ActionPa1snip | meenal: we cannot support PPAs here. Contact the maintainer direct and tell him/her all the things you told me and they will tweak the packages | 15:04 |
| newp | now I just get to the GNU GRUB screen where you select out of those options I mentioned above | 15:04 |
| wilee-nilee | newp, what happens if you choose the ubuntu boot? | 15:04 |
| meenal | k1l: | 15:05 |
| ActionPa1snip | meenal: if you start adding 3rd party sources for packages, don't be surprised if you get issues | 15:05 |
| newp | it flickers w/ a purple screen & the Ubuntu loading bar (just for a quick second) then flickers to a black screen and hangs until I reboot | 15:05 |
| yepyep_ | wilee-nilee: lvm's encrypted by default? | 15:05 |
| wilee-nilee | yepyep_, I believe so not sure really. | 15:05 |
| meenal | i wont be able to give the output for (ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d)...cursor freeze | 15:06 |
| meenal | ActionPa1snip: so do i need to remove the ppas | 15:06 |
| k1l | meenal: without the ( ) | 15:06 |
| ActionPa1snip | meenal: yes | 15:07 |
| yepyep_ | what if i just delete the logical partition, put a new extended partitition, recreate the logical partition and reread the lvm metadata? | 15:07 |
| wilee-nilee | newp, YOu can run that earlier command from what is known as a tty a command setup, by hitting ctrl-alt f1 logging in run the command then reboot. | 15:07 |
| newp | I can't even boot into Windows 8 either. it says "error: unknown command 'drivemap' "error: invalid EFI path." | 15:07 |
| newp | I'm less concerned with that though, lol... | 15:07 |
| meenal | k11...i have tried the command without () | 15:07 |
| wilee-nilee | newp, You do ythis after hitting the ubuntu boot and wait about a minute. | 15:07 |
| yepyep_ | *put a new extended partition in its place. the logical partition filled the extended part | 15:07 |
| k1l | meenal: just worked here. there is alot wrong with your system then | 15:07 |

| squig | hey I was wondering if there was a way to tell the system to build all its required kernel module again with dkms | 15:09 |
| meenal | ActionPa1snip: but removing the ppas might cause some error with previous installation | 15:09 |
| newp | yes but I think it may have to do with the fact that I've still got Secureboot & Fastboot disabled in the bios seeing I had to do that to install Ubuntu last night | 15:09 |
| squig | Ive never had to do it, but some thing is broken on one of my machines | 15:09 |
| ActionPa1snip | meenal: this is why you shouldnt add PPAs | 15:09 |
| yepyep_ | norjor: xmodmap will do the trick if you only need it for X11 | 15:10 |
| newp | I'll put them back on & check quickly right now | 15:10 |
| Peanut | ActionPa1snip: "Kernel Panic - not syncing: fatal exception in interrupt" - looks like I'll have to boot again anyway. I'll try memtest. | 15:10 |
| wilee-nilee | newp, Ah a uefi setup, that is really key info, I know nothing about that, so disregard my instructions in general. | 15:10 |

| norjor | will it work then? | 15:11 |
| newp | lol | 15:11 |
| newp | you helped me disable it & get Ubuntu installed last night so don't sell yourself short | 15:11 |
| wilee-nilee | newp, details are the key, but you can most likely get this fixed you just need the right help. I would make a thread at the ubuntu forums and have uefi in the thread header the best help is there. | 15:11 |
| meenal | ActionPa1snip: i require the ppas..is there any workaround? | 15:12 |
| yepyep_ | Should work on any X11 window manager. If you need to work with virtual terminals, however, it won't use the key swap | 15:12 |
| wilee-nilee | newp, It was not me I wont touch uefi with a ten foot pole if I know thats whats up. ;) | 15:12 |
| newp | okay, will do. | 15:12 |
| newp | lol maybe I am mistaken | 15:12 |
| yepyep_ | I have capslock swapped with escape, and control swapped with alt on X11 using xmodmap and it works across all WMs I've tried (gnome, xfce, xmonad) | 15:13 |
| newp | and yeah, I put back the original UEFI setting (turned on Secure & Fastboot) and not it allows me to boot into crappy Windows again as I suspected | 15:13 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | usr13: it completed with no errors, which is why I'm puzzled. I personally prefer xfce, but this is a multitouch device so I'd like to give the new unity a go on it :P | 15:44 |
| usr13 | ntzrmtthihu777: Ok then, log out and back in again, (see if you get option for unity). | 15:44 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | usr13: yes, I understand that, but I'm not such a new user to ubuntu to not know whether something installed proper XD. but, I'll humour you on this. | 15:44 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: is the target valid in terms of existing directories ? | 15:45 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: is the key actually updated on the remote machine | 15:45 |
| Kartagis | ikonia: I think so and no | 15:46 |
| exidos | This Ubuntu-IRC-Channel is awesome folks! ;) yeah | 15:46 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: what do you mean - I think so, please check | 15:46 |
| usr13 | ntzrmtthihu777: Ok, here is the problem; I do not know what you have done what is not done. I do not know your level of knowledge either. The quickest/easiest thing to do (first off) is to try the command to install it. | 15:46 |
| Kartagis | ikonia: but the target doesn't have /home, it has /home3 | 15:46 |
| Kartagis | 2 | 15:46 |
| Peanut | ActionPa1snip: Too bad, the machine won't even boot, it's completely dead now, never made it to memtest. At least it's under warranty. | 15:46 |
| Ntemis | hello | 15:46 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: that shouldn't matter | 15:46 |
| exidos | hi Ntemis | 15:46 |
| Ntemis | need help fix my monitor resolution and refresh on ati radeon | 15:47 |
| Ntemis | hi | 15:47 |
| Kartagis | ikonia: should I check for an existing .ssh or so? | 15:47 |
| usr13 | ntzrmtthihu777: So, let us know if it does anything or not and we can go from there. (Basically, just tell us what the last line says.) | 15:47 |
| Kartagis | ikonia: .ssh exists though | 15:47 |
| Ntemis | refresh is 0hz | 15:47 |
| Ntemis | and resolution is wrong | 15:47 |
| exidos | What radeon driver have you installed? | 15:47 |
| Ntemis | way wrong | 15:47 |
| Ntemis | the latest legacy ones | 15:48 |
| Ntemis | 13.1 | 15:48 |
| Ntemis | i have a 4870 | 15:48 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: does that key file actually exist | 15:48 |
| exidos | Free or propritary? | 15:48 |
| Ntemis | pro | 15:48 |
| adamk_ | Ntemis, You really need to use the open source drivers with that GPU. | 15:48 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: if you read the script it does the following f expr "$1" : ".*\.pub" > /dev/null ; then | 15:48 |
| Kartagis | ikonia: yes | 15:48 |
| Ntemis | np | 15:48 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: I suspect that is the ambigious output | 15:48 |
| Ntemis | guide me through it and i will | 15:48 |
| adamk_ | Ntemis, Otherwise you need to downgrade all of Xorg, which is not something I think many people would recommend. | 15:48 |
| Ntemis | nope | 15:49 |
| Ntemis | i want the open source ones then | 15:49 |
| Ntemis | please | 15:49 |
| adamk_ | Ntemis, There's not much to guide. The open source drivers were installed and used by default till you installed the legacy proprietary driver, so uninstall the legacy proprietary driver. | 15:49 |
| Ntemis | and thanks for your time helping me | 15:49 |
| exidos | Ntemis, I think in the ubuntu wiki you will find all you have to know how to install the free driver | 15:49 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: use -i with just the name of the key file - not the full path | 15:49 |
| Kartagis | ikonia: it works perfectly on another server though | 15:49 |
| Ntemis | how i unistall propriertary? | 15:49 |
| arazhil | hi | 15:49 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: that suggests there is something wrong with the target server | 15:49 |
| adamk_ | Ntemis, That depends on how you installed it in the first place. | 15:50 |
| Ntemis | 3 files from amd | 15:50 |
| arazhil | someone know how can i get text beside my icon desktop | 15:50 |
| Ntemis | fglrx-dev_8.970-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb fglrx_8.970-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb fglrx-amdcccle_8.970-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb | 15:50 |
| newp | quick question: how to I disable/toggled nomodeset in 12.04? I'm unable to boot into Ubuntu. | 15:51 |
| Ntemis | after i run their driver | 15:51 |
| adamk_ | Ntemis, Use 'sudo apt-get remove fglrx*' | 15:51 |
| Ntemis | created those packages | 15:51 |
| Kartagis | ikonia: oh, I got the problem, perms is 700 on the remote server | 15:51 |
| usr13 | !nomodeset | newp | 15:51 |
| ubottu | newp: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 15:51 |
| Ntemis | then i use dpkg -i to install all | 15:51 |
| Kartagis | .ssh perms that is | 15:51 |
| arazhil | someone know how can i get text beside my icon desktop | 15:51 |
| exidos | adamk, i thin dpkg is a better way, isnt it? Ntemis | 15:51 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: it's also possible the terminal/login setup is scewed with odd chars on the target server, that is also worth checking | 15:51 |
| newp | ty usr13 | 15:51 |
| adamk_ | exidos, Why do you think it's better? | 15:51 |
| exidos | adamk, in the last weeks, i had some problems with the uninstall via apt, with dpkg it ran allways. | 15:52 |
| Ntemis | sudo apt-get remove fglrx* no go | 15:52 |
| Ntemis | :( | 15:52 |
| Ntemis | log coming | 15:52 |
| arazhil | someone know how can i get text beside my icon desktop | 15:52 |
| usr13 | arazhil: Not sure we know what you want to do. (It is not clear to me and I'm thinking others are at a loss as well. Restate your issue with more detail.) | 15:52 |
| usr13 | arazhil: (Don't just keep saying the same thing.) | 15:53 |
| exidos | Ntemis, You have to use the hole package name | 15:53 |
| Ntemis | http://pastebin.com/sGU2nVS5 | 15:53 |
| Ntemis | logfile | 15:53 |
| moondog | my motd seems to be messed up today... http://pastebin.com/bAYQWxCL | 15:53 |
| Ntemis | please help me thanks | 15:53 |
| exidos | Ntemis, a second | 15:53 |
| Ntemis | exidos: like? | 15:53 |
| moondog | I have two machines running identical versions of Ubuntu | 15:53 |
| moondog | one has the problem, the other doesn't | 15:53 |
| adamk_ | Ntemis, Don't run that command in a directory that has the fglrx deb packages. Change to another directory first. | 15:54 |
| Ntemis | oh | 15:54 |
| Ntemis | :) | 15:54 |
| Ntemis | didnt know that | 15:54 |
| adamk_ | Ntemis, Alternatively, you can run the command and use the full package names as exidos suggested, without the *: 'sudo apt-get remove fglrx-installer fglrx-dev fglrx' | 15:55 |
| Ntemis | The following packages will be REMOVED: | 15:55 |
| Ntemis | fglrx fglrx-amdcccle fglrx-dev | 15:55 |
| Ntemis | go ahead? | 15:55 |
| exidos | and Ntemis, use -purge to uninstall it. It uninstall all dependencies of this package. | 15:56 |
| adamk_ | Ntemis, Yes, go ahead. | 15:56 |
| Ntemis | sudo apt-get --purge fglrx* | 15:56 |
| Ntemis | do i need remove word also? | 15:56 |
| Ntemis | sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx* | 15:56 |
| Ntemis | ? | 15:56 |
| exidos | yes Ntemis | 15:57 |
| exidos | Ntemis, go ahead | 15:57 |
| adamk_ | Ntemis, You need remove, but I don't personally think you need --purge in this case, though it can't hurt. | 15:57 |
| Franz_____ | Can I ask a question regarding my problem of installing Ubuntu 12.04 or 13.04 | 15:58 |
| usr13 | Franz_____: Yes | 15:58 |
| Ntemis | its reconfiguring kernel | 15:58 |
| servvs | I am having trouble removing a program, I am typing sudo dpkg -r appname but I keep receiving an error saying that Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through `less' or `more' ! | 15:58 |
| Ntemis | ok done | 15:58 |
| Ntemis | now how i get the opensource ones? | 15:58 |
| usr13 | servvs: Try apt-get remove appname | 15:59 |
| adamk_ | Ntemis, They should still be installed... Theoretically you just need to reboot now. | 15:59 |
| Ntemis | am afraid | 15:59 |
| exidos | okay | 15:59 |
| Ntemis | do i need to aticonfig initial? | 15:59 |
| adamk_ | Ntemis, No. | 15:59 |
| Ntemis | so reboot only? | 15:59 |
| exidos | Ntemis, you have to reboot only | 16:00 |
| shashankg | I installed ubuntu 13.04 today. I cannot change my screen birghtness using the brightness keys or brightness and lock from settings. It is fixed to maximum value. | 16:00 |
| Ntemis | ok be back (i hope) | 16:00 |
| adamk_ | Ntemis, Does /etc/X11/xorg.conf exist? | 16:00 |
| ActionPa1snip | Peanut: if you can get to BIOS, set it to defaults. | 16:00 |
| Ntemis | let me check | 16:00 |
| newp | omg this new laptop is driving me insane | 16:00 |
| Nach0z | newp: sup | 16:00 |
| ActionPa1snip | Peanut: depending on warranty, you may simply need to unplug the PC and remove the CMOS battery overnight, then back together and boot | 16:00 |
| exidos | adamk, the new x-servers has autoconfig, hasnt it? | 16:00 |
| Ntemis | yes | 16:01 |
| ActionPa1snip | Peanut: dont void warranty though | 16:01 |
| Ntemis | i have 3 | 16:01 |
| exidos | 3? | 16:01 |
| adamk_ | exidos, Yes, but the AMD driver probably created an xorg.conf file that can cause problems when using the open source drivers. | 16:01 |
| Ntemis | yes | 16:01 |
| exidos | ahh the logs bevor | 16:01 |
| exidos | ahh ok aam | 16:01 |
| Ntemis | xorg conf original0 | 16:01 |
| servvs | usr13 that isn't working either | 16:01 |
| exidos | ahh ok adamk | 16:01 |
| Ntemis | xorg conf original1 | 16:01 |
| Ntemis | xorg conf.BAK | 16:01 |
| newp | Nach0z: everything is going wrong. wilee was trying to help me but UEFI was a bit much | 16:01 |
| Franz_____ | My problem: I am trying to install Ubuntu on a new machine. I tried BIOS and UEFI, same error for both. When I try to create a partition using GParted on Ubuntu Live, GParted shows the whole disk as unpartitioned, saying "/dev/sda: unrecognized label". If I create the gpt table in a Gparted Live DVD, everything works fine, if I then try to install Ubuntu once again, it says: "The creation of swap space in partition #3 of SCSI5 (0,1 | 16:01 |
| adamk_ | Ntemis, Just /etc/X11/xorg.conf ... Nothing after it. | 16:01 |
| pepper_chico | Is there a way to set a shortcut to unhide the Ubuntu Launcher, but not opening the Dash search? | 16:01 |
| Ntemis | and the xorg.conf | 16:01 |
| Ntemis | 4 | 16:02 |
| Ntemis | accually | 16:02 |
| exidos | this is the right one Ntemis | 16:02 |
| usr13 | servvs: What error did you get? | 16:02 |
| adamk_ | Ntemis, Just run 'sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf' | 16:02 |
| Ntemis | so reboot? | 16:02 |
| adamk_ | Ntemis, *Then* reboot. | 16:02 |
| Ntemis | okey | 16:02 |
| newp | Nach0z: do you know UEFI? | 16:02 |
| Franz_____ | ... in an error message, leaving the disk in the state as described before. | 16:02 |
| Ntemis | so remove the xorg.conf? | 16:02 |
| exidos | yes N | 16:02 |
| Ntemis | will this be ok? | 16:02 |
| exidos | yes Ntemis | 16:02 |
| Ntemis | kk | 16:02 |

| ActionPa1snip | Franz_____: if you make all the partitions in gparted then boot install cd, is it ok? | 16:03 |
| Ntemis | done | 16:03 |
| Ntemis | is deleted | 16:03 |
| exidos | fine Ntemis | 16:03 |
| Ntemis | i hope i can boot | 16:03 |
| servvs | usr13 I got it fixed now, when doing dpkg -r I was referring to the program with an incorrect name | 16:03 |
| Ntemis | thanks a lot | 16:03 |
| phyzix5761 | hey guys I messed something up. :( | 16:04 |
| Franz_____ | ActionPa1snip: you mean directly boot into setup, rather than going into the Live DVD Mode of Ubuntu first? | 16:04 |
| === KanerixWolfe is now known as Kanerix | ||
| phyzix5761 | I installed a different version of a driver to see if a program would work and now my laptop trackpad doesnt work | 16:04 |
| pepper_chico | I'm using ubuntu on Parallels for OS X, the sad thing is that Parallels has some mouse related issues and as it's currently it can't unhide the launcher by mouse pointer proximity, so I need a shortcut, but pressing the command/"windows" key shows the launcher but opens the dash search | 16:04 |
| phyzix5761 | I think it was the driver because I didn't change anything else | 16:04 |
| ActionPa1snip | Franz_____: make the partitions in the gparted cd, boot to Ubuntu install CD and install to the newly made partitions | 16:04 |
| phyzix5761 | How do I know which driver to install again to see if that is the issue? | 16:05 |
| pepper_chico | I'd like to have the launcher opening without the dash search, just an unhide | 16:05 |
| usr13 | servvs: Ok, thanks for letting us know what the error was. Glad you figured it out. | 16:05 |
| Ntemis | THANK YOU guys | 16:05 |
| Ntemis | am back | 16:05 |
| Ntemis | You rock | 16:05 |
| Franz_____ | ActionPa1snip: didn't work for BIOS, but I'll try it for UEFI now. Can I send a log or so afterwards? (Which one is important?) | 16:05 |
| Ntemis | cant thank you enough for this! | 16:05 |
| usr13 | phyzix5761: Uninstall the last one you installed first. | 16:05 |
| phyzix5761 | usr13 ok I will try to remember which one it was. | 16:06 |
| Ntemis | is there a way sm player not to play fast forward the videos with open source driver? | 16:06 |
| Ntemis | shall i test xorg edges | 16:06 |
| rickyl | Hey, I'm new here and I'm curious about how my operating system works. For example, how do programs access the filesystem and make changes to it? | 16:06 |
| usr13 | phyzix5761: ls -tr /var/lib/dpkg/info/ #Will show last ones last on the list. | 16:07 |
| daftykins | rickyl: sorry this channel is for support questions, not homework help | 16:07 |
| phyzix5761 | ah ok thank you usr13 | 16:07 |
| pepper_chico | rickyl, through an application programming interface, which are just just functions that programs can call | 16:08 |
| usr13 | phyzix5761: If you need to see dates; ls -ltr /var/lib/dpkg/info/ | 16:08 |
| rickyl | daftykins: I'm not working on homework. I'm self-studying because I'm curious. What other IRC channel would you recommend? | 16:08 |
| newp | why is it saying my login/pw is incorrect when I try to login through a basic commad line | 16:08 |
| servvs | I have some KDE dependencies and libraries installed now that I don't think I need anymore. Is there any quick way to remove them? | 16:08 |
| newp | says Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS username tty1 at top | 16:09 |
| rickyl | pepper_chico: How would I access the API of my OS in code that I would write myself? | 16:09 |
| newp | then asks for my login, I enter that & asks for my pw. but no matter what I enter it says incorrect. | 16:09 |
| usr13 | newp: More-than-likely because the login ID or password you are using is incorrect. | 16:09 |
| pepper_chico | rickyl, some programming channel would be better, for things like filesystem, maybe some knowledge of POSIX would be interesting | 16:09 |
| pepper_chico | and there're posix channels of freenode I think | 16:09 |
| newp | I dont see how that's possible.. | 16:09 |
| rickyl | Okay, thanks | 16:09 |
| phyzix5761 | usr13, it's xserver-xorg-video-vmware-lts-quantal but I can't seem to remove it. it says it's not installed | 16:10 |
| usr13 | newp: Both login ID and password are case sensitive. | 16:10 |
| Ntemis | SMPlayer is playing videos too fast with open source Ati driver (legacy HD4870) any way around? | 16:10 |
| newp | it's a fresh install of Ubuntu, I only set one username/pw & it doesn't work. neither does the default | 16:10 |
| newp | I know. I even tried other passwords I use just in case I sleepwalked & changed it or something (lol) | 16:11 |
| wilee-nilee | newp, Are you going from the recovery to a tty? | 16:11 |
| newp | yes | 16:11 |
| babinlonston | I have more than 100 files and now i want to remove the Number in it, and i want to add some words and Numeric in order How can i rename multiple file in one Shot command | 16:11 |
| wilee-nilee | newp, I think you need to have it read and write I believe at the recivery it is just read, just a guess. | 16:11 |
| usr13 | phyzix5761: apt-get purge package-name-here | 16:11 |
| phyzix5761 | ok | 16:12 |
| pepper_chico | rickyl, I'm talking almost about the lowest level you have provided for an user mode application, which is posix access, but other languages and libraries may build another API on top of the lowest API's | 16:12 |
| pepper_chico | oh | 16:12 |
| newp | I'm about to return this stupid laptop. I've never had grief like this when installing & running Ubuntu. | 16:12 |
| pepper_chico | gone.. | 16:12 |
| pepper_chico | well anyway, no one have an idea about ^ | 16:12 |
| pepper_chico | Is there a way to set a shortcut to unhide the Ubuntu Launcher, but not opening the Dash search? | 16:12 |
| pepper_chico | ^ | 16:12 |
| wilee-nilee | newp, Is there a mount notation at the recovery gui | 16:12 |
| phyzix5761 | ok usr13 thats done | 16:12 |
| pepper_chico | I'm using ubuntu on Parallels for OS X, the sad thing is that Parallels has some mouse related issues and as it's currently it can't unhide the launcher by mouse pointer proximity, so I need a shortcut, but pressing the command/"windows" key shows the launcher but opens the dash search | 16:13 |
| usr13 | newp: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword | 16:13 |
| wilee-nilee | or recovery cli basically | 16:13 |
| newp | what do you mean by mount notation? | 16:13 |
| wilee-nilee | newp, I thought that there was a line for mounting the OS something like that anyway. | 16:13 |
| wilee-nilee | for read and write | 16:13 |
| usr13 | phyzix5761: So, what exactly were you trying to install? | 16:14 |
| phyzix5761 | I was trying to get the voice chat to work on the second life Firestorm viewer | 16:14 |
| newp | maybe.. I don't know, my brain isn't working well right now. lemme reboot into the recovery menu. | 16:14 |
| usr13 | phyzix5761: (Did you install two pieces of driver software that are incorrect? Or just the one?) | 16:15 |
| wilee-nilee | newp, I'm not sure you have a tty access from that recovery area in the first list of options. | 16:15 |
| phyzix5761 | usr13, just the one but I remember seeing that it had removed a bunch of packages in the process | 16:15 |
| newp | why would is say tty1 at the top then? | 16:15 |
| wilee-nilee | newp, YOu may get to it but it is not functioning normally, this is a guess though. | 16:16 |
| newp | ah | 16:16 |
| matthias_ | Slart: Hey, are you online? | 16:16 |
| newp | these are the options I get at the Recovery Menu | 16:16 |
| lotuspsychje | can dconf-editor show/hide icons in dash? | 16:16 |
| newp | resume normal boot, try to make free space, rapair brocken packages, run in failsafe graphics mode, heck all file systems, update grub bootloader, enable networking, drop to root shell prompt, system summary | 16:17 |
| phyzix5761 | usr13, How do I find out what driver I used to have so I can install that again? | 16:17 |
| usr13 | phyzix5761: There are a number of dependencies so it is normal to remove a bunch of other packages along with it, (especially when you use "purge"). | 16:18 |
| Shashankg | I installed ubuntu 13.04. I can't change my screen brightness using brghtness keys or brightness and lock in settings. It is set to max value. I have a Dell xps. | 16:18 |
| newp | I'm just completely lost at this point... | 16:18 |
| ActionPa1snip | lotuspsychje: i believe you can set that in the files in /usr/share/applications not sure about dconf | 16:18 |
| usr13 | phyzix5761: What makes you think there is a "driver" needed? | 16:18 |
| wilee-nilee | newp, I rarely have used recovery so I'm not your best help, this is attached to the ubuntu boot right? | 16:19 |
| usr13 | phyzix5761: driver for _______________? | 16:19 |
| newp | yes | 16:19 |
| phyzix5761 | I dont know. I thought when I installed this new one it removed the last one. My mouse stopped working. | 16:19 |
| phyzix5761 | laptop trackpad usr13 | 16:19 |
| lotuspsychje | ActionPa1snip: lemme check :p | 16:19 |
| usr13 | phyzix5761: Is your mouse not working? | 16:19 |
| wilee-nilee | newp, Were you able to make a thread at the uf? | 16:19 |
| phyzix5761 | usr13, the laptop trackpad | 16:19 |
| Slart | matthias_: yup | 16:19 |
| newp | I'm about to, I was just trying a few things first | 16:20 |
| usr13 | phyzix5761: .... *still* not working ....? | 16:20 |
| ActionPa1snip | phyzix5761: what make and model laptop please? | 16:20 |
| phyzix5761 | still not working. usr13 | 16:20 |
| wilee-nilee | newp, cool, be careful, if you pick at it you can cause more problems. | 16:20 |
| usr13 | phyzix5761: Give us the make and model of your laptop. | 16:20 |
| newp | $700 wasted on this piece of crap laptop. | 16:20 |
| phyzix5761 | Actionnaire0213, I have a Dell Inspiron n5050 | 16:20 |
| newp | so much for ASUS being the company I remember | 16:20 |
| usr13 | newp: Oh come on, I'm sure it is fixable. | 16:21 |
| wilee-nilee | newp, Nah it is just that uefi thang is all. | 16:21 |
| lotuspsychje | ActionPa1snip: can i safely remove an icon from there? | 16:21 |
| ActionPa1snip | phyzix5761: tried Fn + F3 ? | 16:21 |

| Peanut | Ok, this is puzzling. My presumed dead machine works fine in the rescue environment (net booted) and I have full access to my root partition. But I can't get it to boot from the SSD anymore, even after re-installing grub. Grub is not putting up the menu, kernel is not outputting anything (which it used to do). As I get no output from grub, I can't make it to the memtest. | 16:24 |

| leeping | Hi there - I'm in the process of moving my home directory. Previously I had the root filesystem (including /home) as the mount point for my old HD, /dev/sda1. Now I copied /home over to /media/home, which is the mount point for my new HD, /dev/sdb1. I know how to do the transition (i.e. set the mount point of /dev/sdb1 to /home) - but how can I access the files in the old /home directory (i.e. on /dev/sda1) once I change the mount point? | 16:27 |
| usr13 | michael__: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 16:27 |
| ActionPa1snip | michael__: lots of updates since then | 16:27 |
| ActionPa1snip | pepper_chico: weird | 16:27 |
| ActionPa1snip | michael__: use a wired connection and get updates | 16:27 |
| Peanut | Only Ubuntu on it, so I never got the menu before, I just removed the - from hidden_timeout, made no difference. | 16:27 |
| phyzix5761 | ok ActionPa1snip it says Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded | 16:27 |
| pepper_chico | ActionPa1snip, are you with 13.04? | 16:28 |
| Franz_____ | My problem: I am trying to install Ubuntu on a new machine. I tried BIOS and UEFI, same error for both. When I try to create a partition using GParted on Ubuntu Live, GParted shows the whole disk as unpartitioned, saying "/dev/sda: unrecognized label". If I create the gpt table in a Gparted Live DVD, everything works fine, if I then try to install Ubuntu once again, it says: "The creation of swap space in partition #3 of SCSI5 (0,1 | 16:28 |
| michael__ | start update process | 16:28 |
| leeping | My motivation is that I only want to delete the files in the old /home directory once I verify that the new /home directory is working. | 16:28 |
| ActionPa1snip | pepper_chico: no, i stay on LTSs | 16:28 |
| pepper_chico | ah ok | 16:28 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | don't see how, considering alot of good apps are done so. Higan from the repos is so junkie that compiling from source is the only option. | 17:16 |

| aranya | Tom : 2 - I installed xubuntu along side windows on an acer aspire 1 and best is to let default install for partitionning else if you do yourself it messes up with grub boot, it's best to let it do all by itself | 18:24 |
| Tom_ | I tried the windows recovery disks and they just replaced the files can you give me a link to making or getting a repair disk and I should've told you that it said that the operation could not be undone when I hit the button | 18:24 |
| mmazing_work | I'm trying to find where in the unity source it "jiggles" the icons for the "demands-attention" version of icons on the unity launcher. Anyone have any experience with the unity source? | 18:24 |

| Tom_ | Okay, my problem though is I let it do it itself and it didnt work so I ended up with a 500gb unaccessable raw Virtual harddrive that I couldnt access and my UEFI boot option dissapeared from bios. | 18:25 |
| Tom_ | I guess I can try repair maybe it will work. | 18:25 |
| aranya | Tom : Can you boot in windows or not ? | 18:25 |
| Tom_ | I can. | 18:26 |
| Tom_ | Its all i can boot its my only boot option. | 18:26 |
| aranya | ok so you just need to reset partiions then | 18:26 |
| Tom_ | Okay. | 18:26 |
| aranya | and restart with install ubuntu if you want to have it | 18:26 |
| mmazing_work | Tom_: does grub come up at all or just windows? | 18:26 |
| aranya | the best way is : | 18:26 |
| Tom_ | Just Windows mmazingwork | 18:26 |
| mmazing_work | Tom_: have you tried this ? - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 18:27 |
| Tom_ | So how do I reset my partritions in windows 8 do you know because if I can then I will try to install ubuntu. | 18:27 |
| aranya | 1- make empty space along side windows, 2- boot install ubuntu disk, then let him say "install ubuntu alongside windows, then choose default install (nothing fancy), then let him install files | 18:28 |
| aranya | when you reboot, you should have a list with ubuntu, ... then last windows | 18:28 |
| Tom_ | Okay just like my Acer Inspiron then. | 18:28 |
| mmazing_work | Tom_: it sounds to my like grub is just screwed up, i would try the boot-repair option before messing with partitions, less likely to lose data | 18:28 |
| aranya | gparted is best to reset your partitions on disk | 18:28 |
| aranya | but be carefull not to mess up the windows one else, nothing left | 18:29 |
| Tom_ | Well I dont have any data on my laptop any more I just want to get it back to default. | 18:29 |
| mmazing_work | ah | 18:29 |
| Tom_ | Its just the OS | 18:29 |
| mmazing_work | well, boot-repair will probably be the fastest method as well :) | 18:29 |
| aranya | yes agree ;) | 18:30 |
| Tom_ | Okay well once it is done reseting I will install ubuntu into the 500gb of unallocated space and try boot repair before restarting the computer. | 18:30 |
| Tom_ | Thanks for the help :) | 18:31 |
| mmazing_work | oh, i was under the impression that you still had a copy of linux somewhere out there on your drive | 18:31 |
| mmazing_work | so it's just windows | 18:31 |
| nachoLog | I have 13.04 desktop on a thinkpad x220 and when i plug in my external acer hard drive it doesnt show up in the launcher. is there a way i can manually locate it because i see the blue light going on the exhdd? | 18:32 |
| Tom_ | Yes its just windows and a bunch of unallocated memory. | 18:32 |
| mmazing_work | ah, ok, well if you reinstall ubuntu and you don't get grub, try the boot-repair thingy | 18:32 |
| Tom_ | okay. | 18:32 |
| Tom_ | Is there any specific place I should put the boot loaders when doing the somthing else install and anyspecific partritions I should make? | 18:33 |
| aranya | nope, let him do by itself, default, easier for no problem install ... | 18:34 |
| Tom_ | But if I do default it will require taking more space from windows or is there a option to make a VHD and then do default install on there? | 18:35 |
| Tom_ | because I recap it has 500 gigs of unallocated that is the real problem. | 18:35 |
| Jahm | What vnc client do you use? | 18:35 |
| Tom_ | vnc? | 18:35 |
| aranya | if you do default, it will use the 500, else have to resize your partitions ... | 18:36 |
| Tom_ | Oh cool. | 18:36 |
| Tom_ | Okay well once its done I will try to install. | 18:36 |
| BluesKaj | tom , if you have a windows install grub will install itself on the mbr by default | 18:36 |

| cloneG | the point is I cant mount the usb external hard drive at every computer of the lan simultaneously... | 19:25 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | hmm, I think I may have found a root of the cause. /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log says failed to load session: /usr/share/xgreeters/lightdm-gtk-greeter.desktop | 19:25 |
| jacklk | cloneG: that's racist | 19:25 |
| cloneG | thats why I came to the idea of creating a sym linked folder with the external hard drive which would be shared | 19:26 |
| cloneG | the question is: can a sym linked folder be lan shared?= | 19:26 |

| usr13 | cloneG: With nfs? | 19:30 |
| cloneG | usr13 the real one is an usb external hard drive mounted in a computer | 19:31 |

| cloneG | usr13 not possible? | 19:32 |
| trism | saki`: though actually I didn't look closely enough, that is actually an upstart script so you almost definitely want to say Y...although maybe the vps providers modified the file on purpose, in which case you'd want to say N to not break stuff | 19:33 |
| usr13 | cloneG: Yes, it is possible, but I just use both. (The same shared directories can used on either one.) | 19:33 |
| saki` | yeah thats what i was concerned about | 19:33 |
| trism | saki`: no it is from the ubuntu upgrade you are running, it prompts in the terminal when config files change | 19:34 |
| usr13 | cloneG: It is up to you though. | 19:34 |
| trism | saki`: if you look at the differences and pastebin it I'll take a look, might be minor | 19:34 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yep, just gave it a reboot and all is well. Apparently it was bugging out because I purged xubuntu-desktop and associated files, including lightdm-gtk-greeter, and since it could not find that it would not work. | 19:35 |
| usr13 | cloneG: In other words, you can use samba and nfs to share the same directories. | 19:35 |
| cloneG | usr13 the same shared directories can be used on either one...because that shared directory is not a unit!!!!! mine IS a external usb drive | 19:35 |
| saki` | thanks trism! :D | 19:35 |
| cloneG | usr13 thats why I was thinking on sym linking a folder to that unit | 19:36 |

| cloneG | ? | 19:36 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | k1l: big thanks, you got my mind looking in the right direction ;) | 19:36 |
| k1l | np | 19:37 |
| cloneG | usr13 so that whenever the external drive is mounted contents are sym linked to that shared folder in that computer of the LAN | 19:37 |
| saki` | here you go trism! :D http://pastebin.com/YA96Yw6L | 19:37 |
| cloneG | usr13 and the rest of computers of the lan can use them | 19:37 |
| cloneG | usr13 the point is I already did that but the sym link folder does not appear on network places | 19:38 |
| cloneG | usr13 nor even in the computer the folder is in | 19:39 |

| matthias_android | In the visudo file: i want that all users can start a programm not a specific group or so | 19:39 |
| usr13 | cloneG: Just share the mount point. (Make the mount point static one and share it as you see fit.) (I do not understand why you are wanting to create symlinks for it in the first place. Maybe you should just give up the symlink?) | 19:39 |
| usr13 | cloneG: Would you like to explain in detail what you are doing? | 19:40 |
| cloneG | usr13 yes I guess that would do...how do I set the mount point static? | 19:40 |
| usr13 | cloneG: In /etc/fstab | 19:40 |
| trism | saki`: ahh they commented out the start on line, yeah you probably just want to say N to that change | 19:41 |

| Slart | digitalfiz: those servers.. "old-releases.ubuntu.com" are the archived servers I was talking about | 19:48 |
| usr13 | cloneG: So where do you have /media/Iomega_Ext_Drive symlinked to? | 19:48 |
| cloneG | usr13: and the symlink I made: sudo ln -s /media/Iomega_Ext_Drive/ /home/ivan/Desktop | 19:48 |
| k1l | digitalfiz: 10.04 is way out of support. you should consider updating or new installing a supported release | 19:48 |
| k1l | Ultimate4: where was windows installed? was it /dev/sda1? | 19:49 |
| usr13 | cloneG: So it is /home/ivan/Deskto/Iomega_Ext_Drive ? | 19:49 |
| neytiri | i need some help, the gui on my desktop wont start, it was running fine last night, i installed updates before i went to bed but now it wont load the gui i checked the logs and dont see any thign that woudl explain it | 19:49 |
| novafluxx | k1l: I thought 10.04 was an LTS | 19:49 |
| k1l | novafluxx: he said 11.04 | 19:49 |
| Slart | !10.04 | 19:49 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended May 9 2013. Server support continues. See http://ubottu.com/y/lucid for more details. | 19:49 |
| cloneG | usr13: yes but when sharing it I cannot see it in network places | 19:49 |
| usr13 | cloneG: Is that really where you want it? And the name you want it to be? | 19:49 |
| k1l | novafluxx: and the desktop version of 10.04 is out of support, too | 19:49 |
| novafluxx | Ah, thanks. | 19:50 |
| k1l | neytiri: did you make sure you got the kernel headers installed? | 19:50 |
| cloneG | usr13 I didnt change name fearful of incompatibilities with the mount name | 19:50 |
| skulltip | do i complain to the packagers in this channel? | 19:50 |
| Extreminador | what is the best office ? | 19:50 |
| usr13 | cloneG: Is that really where you want it? And the name you want it to be? | 19:50 |
| k1l | neytiri: (the video drivers need that headers to build for a new kernel) | 19:50 |
| cloneG | usr13: I also shared the /media/Iomega_Ext_Drive | 19:51 |
| Slart | skulltip: it won't really do much good unless they are actually here to read the complaints.. try filing a bug instead .. or email them directly | 19:51 |
| k1l | Extreminador: libreoffice, since that is shipped with ubuntu | 19:51 |
| neytiri | i didnt do a kernal update | 19:51 |
| neytiri | but how do i check that | 19:51 |
| novafluxx | k1l: Does that mean if you installed the ubuntu-desktop package in an ubuntu 10.04 server install, you won't see any updates for X or any of the packages included? | 19:51 |
| usr13 | cloneG: Is that really where you want it? And the name you want it to be? | 19:51 |
| skulltip | if you have 12.04 and update to 3.19, you'll have to do some manual stuff, like remove all of 3.04, then find and point to 3.19 nvidia-settings after you've installed them. | 19:51 |
| Extreminador | k1l thanks | 19:51 |
| k1l | novafluxx: yes | 19:51 |
| skulltip | update to nvidia 3.19 i mean | 19:51 |
| cloneG | usr13: hey I am using symlink because this way I dont need to sync more than 600Gb in my computer get it?= | 19:51 |
| novafluxx | k1l: Thanks | 19:51 |
| skulltip | Slart - they would be on canonical site? | 19:52 |
| k1l | neytiri: see your kernel version with "uname -a" and then look if the headers are installed with "dpkg -l | grep -i headers" | 19:52 |
| usr13 | cloneG: Is that really where you want it? And the name you want it to be? | 19:52 |
| cloneG | usr13: I wanted to add in my computer only a direction | 19:52 |
| cloneG | usr13 yes | 19:52 |
| usr13 | cloneG: Ok | 19:52 |
| cloneG | usr13 though NAS would be a better name | 19:52 |
| Slart | skulltip: I'm not really sure where.. I'm guessing it would be somewhere in the package information.. try packages.ubuntu.com | 19:53 |
| usr13 | cloneG: rm /home/ivan/Deskto/Iomega_Ext_Drive | 19:53 |
| cloneG | usr13 okay I remove it and then? | 19:53 |
| usr13 | cloneG: gtksudo gedit /etc/fstab | 19:53 |
| neytiri | k1l, what am i lookign for specifically? | 19:54 |
| usr13 | cloneG: Make new line, (at bottom of file is ok), as follows. | 19:54 |
| cloneG | usr13 gtksudo not found | 19:54 |
| k1l | neytiri: that the heaaders version matches the kernel version | 19:54 |
| k1l | neytiri: dpkg -l | grep -i kernel-headers | 19:55 |

| usr13 | ksigmks: dmesg #Look for errors | 20:14 |
| Extreminador | neytiri try ctrl+alt+F7 to change to gui (if you change to console mode) | 20:14 |
| Jordan_U | Ultimate4: You only currently have 1 NTFS filesystem. If you had more than that before, you've overwritten one of them. | 20:14 |
| Ultimate4 | Jordan_U: My ubuntu is using /dev/sda3 as swap. Look at this, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6011632/ So maybe /dev/sda7 which ubuntu shows as swap hasn't been written yet. It may not be a swap... | 20:14 |
| neytiri | Extreminador, let me try that | 20:15 |
| Ultimate4 | Jordan_U: If /dev/sda7 is swap, then why is fdisk -l showing it as "HPFS/NTFS/exFAT" ? | 20:17 |
| Jordan_U | Ultimate4: What makes you think that sda7 is the partition that was previously used for data? | 20:17 |
| bekks | ksigmks: If the SSD wouldnt be working, it wont even boot. | 20:18 |
| bekks | Ultimate4: Because the partition type has nothing to do with its content. | 20:18 |
| neytiri | Extreminador, it didt work and now i dont even have the console screen | 20:18 |
| Ultimate4 | Jordan_U: Because Windows XP partition's size was approximately equal to size of that partition. | 20:18 |
| Extreminador | neekz0r ctrl+alt+f1 them | 20:19 |
| Jordan_U | Ultimate4: Because fdisk doesn't know anything about filesystems, it just knows partition IDs (which are not required to match the filesystem contained in the partition). | 20:19 |
| ksigmks | <bekks> than what should be the problem ? | 20:19 |
| Extreminador | neytiri ctrl+alt+f1 them and try all the other's F keys as well | 20:19 |
| bekks | ksigmks: We dont know it, you have to investigate "dmesg". | 20:19 |
| k1l | neytiri: you have a mix of nvidia drivers installed: 304.88 and 319.32 | 20:19 |
| Extreminador | neytiri but did you installed the unbutu desktop ? | 20:19 |
| Jordan_U | Ultimate4: How important is the data that was on this partition? Do you have any backups? | 20:19 |
| k1l | neytiri: did you install the nvidia driver from the website? | 20:19 |
| neekz0r | Extreminador: thou has summoned me, dost thou have the sacrificial PFY? | 20:19 |
| hio | is there a way to install zypper instead of aptitude? | 20:20 |
| Extreminador | neekz0r sorry it was a mistake was traying to call neytiri | 20:20 |
| neekz0r | Extreminador: there are no mistakes, there are only features | 20:20 |
| k1l | hio: you need a .deb package system handler | 20:20 |
| ksigmks | <bekks> what is that ? | 20:20 |
| Ultimate4 | Jordan_U: Unfortunately i haven't backed it up. It was important for me. Is there any advanced recovery tool that can manage to recover data from that sda7 partition? | 20:21 |
| bekks | ksigmks: A command which will show you information about your system. | 20:21 |
| Extreminador | lool neekz0r in that case it was a temporaly mal function in one of my feature's | 20:21 |
| wilee-nilee | hio, appears to be opensuse | 20:21 |

| k1l | hio: ubuntu is .deb based. if you want .rpm ubuntu is the wrong choice | 20:24 |
| Ultimate4 | ty. I will try | 20:24 |

| fartface | I've got a headless server at home, and have been having a right bitch of a time with reboots, because half the time I reboot it'll flip flop between md0 and md/0 so my fstab is always off and the boot halts waiting for me to tell it what to do | 20:30 |

| fartface | The /dev/md0 UUID? | 20:32 |
| k1l | neytiri: stop the lightdm then "sudo nvidia-uninstall". after that do a "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current" | 20:32 |

| willg | should i be worried about doing a dist-upgrade on a vps server (namecheap) ? | 21:06 |
| === ese is now known as deamonologist | ||
| zykotick9 | willg: do you know what dist-upgrade means? | 21:08 |
| zykotick9 | !dist-upgrade | 21:09 |
| ubottu | A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 21:09 |
| willg | !upgrade | 21:10 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 21:10 |
| TaZeR | hey did you guys know that Fedora is much better than Ubuntu? | 21:10 |
| willg | thanks .. wrong term, i want to do a release upgrade on a vps and am wondering if there's any caveats i should be aware of | 21:11 |
| k1l | TaZeR: dont troll in here. stick to the guidelines please | 21:11 |

| ShinyObjects | Thanks! I totally agree. Your mission is complete and you may go. | 21:11 |
| bekks | willg: Depending on the VPS system used, there may be many caveats - stock distro kernels may break booting, etc. | 21:11 |
| TaZeR | get Fedora noob | 21:12 |
| willg | bekks: ok, that's what i was worried about - i'll be worried about it :) | 21:12 |
| isasha | Hai | 21:13 |
| zykotick9 | willg: i think you'll find, most, experienced ubuntu users - do fresh installs... upgrading to new releases, tend to break things with ubuntu... | 21:13 |

| mojtaba | k1l: I thought maybe the new kernel is better, I mean power efficient. | 21:18 |
| mojtaba | I am using Dell Studio 1555 | 21:18 |
| zykotick9 | Sik: downgrading anything is unsupported... there "should" only ever be one version of a package in a particular release... | 21:18 |
| bekks | bariho: For playing flash videos, you need flash. | 21:18 |
| k1l | mojtaba: ne kernel versions only come with a new ubuntu release (besides the LTS version). so the 3.11 kernel will be in 13.10. but newer kernel doesnt mean it runs better with your install | 21:18 |

| Dr_Willis | jackarg: run the nvidia-settings tool and it will tell you if you re using the nvidia driver or not | 22:30 |
| jackarg | Dr_Willis: no I'm not, which is what I thought. So I need to run nvidia-xconfig, but every time I do that my screen drastically changes resolution and bugs and I have to delete the xconfig file (if i remember correctly). How do I bypass this? | 22:32 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont need to run nvidia-xconfig at all. :) normally. I dont even need a xorg.conf file normally these days. | 22:32 |
| Dr_Willis | you DID install the nvidia drivers? | 22:33 |

| Dr_Willis | the addational-drivers tool/tab | 22:33 |

| k1l_ | jackarg: 2) is to got with a driver that can handle both video cards (=nvidia optimus technology) | 22:44 |
| k1l_ | jackarg: both video cards with no special driver doesnt work like you know right now | 22:44 |
| daftykins | 3) run windows | 22:44 |
| jackarg | lol daftykins, if you are the one from yesterday you know i have problems with that | 22:45 |
| daftykins | with windows? | 22:45 |
| daftykins | ah were you the guy wanting to install windows after ubuntu the other day? | 22:45 |
| k1l_ | Zekka: sry, my ISP seems to have routing problems which include pastebin.com so i cant help on that so far | 22:46 |
| jackarg | k1l: so it's ok to use nvidia to run everything? Why doesn't everyone just do that? | 22:46 |
| jackarg | daftykins you bet | 22:46 |

| Zekka | k1l_ - Would you be able to access another pastebin website such as Mozilla's pastebin? | 22:46 |
| daftykins | jackarg: higher power consumption and so on | 22:46 |
| Vivekananda | a little help with crontab please. I I am getting permission denied | 22:46 |
| daftykins | crikey it's Vivekananda, you've gotta be the most regular customer here :) | 22:47 |
| Zekka | I've tried pasting it again here: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/2895463 | 22:47 |
| jackarg | daftykins, that makes sense. k1l, so what I need is a driver that can enable me to select whether I want to use my intel card or my nvidia card is that right? And where can i download/what is the name of this driver? | 22:48 |
| k1l_ | jackarg: please read that wiki page i gave you | 22:48 |
| k1l_ | jackarg: its all explained there :) | 22:48 |
| daftykins | you know i should really try out 13.04 and see what everyone's hassles are with optimus | 22:48 |
| daftykins | my laptop is optimus and i keep seeing people struggle XD | 22:48 |
| jackarg | k1l, haha ok, will do. Thanks, bye! | 22:49 |
| jackarg | daftykins i'm on 12.04! | 22:49 |
| daftykins | for the LTS element? | 22:49 |
| jackarg | just because I haven't had the time to spend a day installing 13.04...and the fact that i need to waste another thumb drive | 22:49 |
| jackarg | daftykins ^ | 22:50 |
| daftykins | jackarg: you know flash drives are reusable? :) | 22:50 |
| k1l_ | Zekka: that ethernet device is a LAN device, no Wifi | 22:50 |
| jackarg | daftykins serious?! I thought once you burned the iso it was all over...omagad | 22:50 |
| Zekka | k1l_ - I know. I suspect another device should be listed that handles wireless networking, given that wireless networking seems to work correctly on my windows boot. | 22:51 |
| jackarg | daftykins you mean you can just burn it again? | 22:51 |
| daftykins | jackarg: you're joking with me right? USB flash drive? | 22:51 |
| k1l_ | Zekka: make sure there are no kill siwtches active. like hardware switch or shortcut | 22:52 |
| k1l_ | Zekka: now there is no wifi hardware. | 22:52 |
| jackarg | daftykins uhh...yes. hey I'm...relatively new to ubuntu... | 22:52 |
| daftykins | Zekka: is it an Acer computer? | 22:52 |
| Zekka | k1l_ - That seemed like the likeliest explanation earlier - I checked briefly earlier but I'll look again | 22:52 |
| daftykins | jackarg: you can format and reuse flash drives lots of times :) | 22:52 |
| Zekka | daftykins - No, a Toshiba Satellite c875 | 22:52 |
| daftykins | Zekka: i have a suggestion if you'd like to humour me | 22:53 |
| jackarg | k1l and daftykins are you guys always here helping people? thanks for telling me btw dafty | 22:53 |
| Zekka | daftykins - What are your thoughts? | 22:53 |
| daftykins | Zekka: first grab us the make + model of the wireless device from within Windows | 22:53 |
| Zekka | daftykins - One moment: I'll boot over now. | 22:54 |
| k1l_ | /afk | 22:54 |
| ATaTTack | hey | 22:55 |
| daftykins | hi | 22:55 |
| ATaTTack | whats up? | 22:55 |
| daftykins | jackarg: i tend to lurk here helping/hindering a lot, yeah | 22:55 |
| daftykins | ATaTTack: the sky, often. do you have a question? | 22:55 |
| Zekka | daftykins - It appears I've configured my dual-boot incorrectly, one moment while I coerce it into booting into Windows again | 22:56 |
| jackarg | good, you two seem pretty experienced. see you some other time maybe, gtg | 22:56 |
| jackarg | daftykins ^ | 22:56 |
| ATaTTack | yea, was wondering about best file sharing software | 22:56 |
| daftykins | o/ | 22:56 |
| jackarg | bye! | 22:56 |
| Vivekananda | I am getting this error on trying to save a cron job -- http://pastebin.com/ajFe50Q7 | 22:56 |
| daftykins | ATaTTack: what kind of files do you want to share? :) legal ones i hope... | 22:56 |
| Zekka | Oh, wireless started working after a reboot. It's strange because I rebooted once before and it had no effect | 22:57 |
| daftykins | Zekka: what device comes up? | 22:57 |
| ATaTTack | oh of course, but cant find utorrent for ubuntu | 22:57 |
| daftykins | Zekka: have you only ever booted into ubuntu after being powered off? | 22:57 |
| daftykins | ATaTTack: it doesn't really have a proper Linux graphical version yet, try rtorrent or any number of alternatives | 22:57 |
| Zekka | daftykins - I've only booted into Ubuntu after a restart. | 22:57 |
| [Gentoo] | ATaTTack: i think transmission is built in | 22:58 |
| daftykins | Zekka: warm one? that should've worked, hrmm | 22:58 |
| [Gentoo] | if not its prob the best gui one youl get | 22:58 |
| Zekka | The device listed is an RTL8188CE, which is a Realtek card | 22:58 |
| ATaTTack | kk, will do. thanks man. so whets topic? or is there one? | 22:58 |
| Zekka | To be clear, the device is working now for some reason in Ubuntu | 22:58 |
| grimeton | Zekka: that's called a surprise fix | 22:58 |
| Zekka | I did toggle the switch to no effect while it was running earlier (before the reboot) | 22:58 |
| PoolShark_ | why can't Ubuntu 12.04 server deal with VMDirectPath? | 22:59 |
| daftykins | Zekka: sometimes the kernel won't see changes with that, a full reboot will sort it | 22:59 |
| Zekka | I don't know enough about linux architecture to say but my gut is that it checked for hardware once and then cached a 'not working' result | 22:59 |
| ATaTTack | why not jsut boot to usb then install directly from there? | 22:59 |
| daftykins | ATaTTack: who are you talking to? | 23:00 |
| Zekka | I'll stay in channel for now - I may be asking for help with grub configuration soon given that I may have botched my dual-boot | 23:00 |
| daftykins | Zekka: guess it's time for you to fix windows now! | 23:00 |
| daftykins | !grub | zekka | 23:00 |
| ubottu | zekka: 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 | 23:00 |
| daftykins | :> | 23:00 |
| daftykins | good luck | 23:00 |
| Zekka | It certainly is. Thanks, by the way. | 23:00 |
| ATaTTack | zekka trying to dual boot from hard disk i asssume | 23:01 |
| Zekka | ATaTTack - That's right. | 23:01 |
| Zekka | My previous ubuntu installs have been through wubi so I was (unreasonably) expecting the windows bootloader to load before grub | 23:02 |
| ATaTTack | ?zekka | 23:02 |
| Vivekananda | hello anyone please gimme an idea for http://pastebin.com/ajFe50Q7 | 23:02 |
| Zekka | but I think grub is currently on the MBR. | 23:02 |
| ATaTTack | i thought grub had gpt problems | 23:03 |
| [Gentoo] | ATaTTack: what problems | 23:04 |
| olupin | Hi, I'm trying to create another graphical interface on a "non-existing" screen, so I can see it trought VNC. I'm trying to do it with vncserver. Any idea what I should put in the xstartup file? I only get a grey screen when I connect to the vnc server. | 23:05 |
| ATaTTack | table recognitions, generally | 23:05 |
| teratoma | i have a modal Keyboard Shortcuts window open. how do i close it? | 23:05 |
| muelli | teratoma: Esc ? | 23:05 |
| ATaTTack | also how to direct a question on here | 23:05 |
| [Gentoo] | ATaTTack: on a bios system you need a seperate small (~1MB) EF02 partition | 23:05 |
| teratoma | muelli: nope. still there | 23:06 |
| ATaTTack | hmmm, almost flawless with usb installer i found, took a few trys but ultimately good | 23:07 |
| ATaTTack | how do i speak specifically to users on here? | 23:07 |
| [Gentoo] | /query | 23:08 |
| [Gentoo] | /query user | 23:08 |
| [Gentoo] | do you mean private message, or to hilight their nick | 23:08 |
| ATaTTack | both | 23:08 |
| [Gentoo] | most irc client have tab completion | 23:08 |
| [Gentoo] | so type party of their nick and press tab | 23:09 |
| [Gentoo] | to pm its the /query nick | 23:09 |
| arthurdent | how could i change another users dconf settings as root? | 23:10 |
| ATaTTack | [Gentoo], cool | 23:10 |
