| enen92 | has anyone used vftpd for a ftp server? I'm kind of struggling here with the configuration | 00:02 |
| hdd3 | hello, im still trying to mount my ext3 hdd can anyone help? none is shown in fdisk | 00:02 |
| Dictator | hdd3, try to replug it | 00:04 |
| jrib | enen92: why do you want an ftp server? | 00:04 |
| Frank_Leonardo | ..... | 00:04 |
| ejv | enen92: what issue are you having? | 00:05 |
| hdd3 | Dictator i tried this already | 00:05 |
| ejv | enen92: vsftpd is well documented | 00:05 |
| Dictator | there are a lot of ops on the Ubuntu channel you would think to earn their ops they would have to actually help users, is there even a schedule ops have to help users or can they just help someone every couple of weeks and still get the op privileges? | 00:05 |
| enen92 | well basically I'm trying to set my ipcamera to send files over ftp to my laptop | 00:06 |
| enen92 | however the cam creates a directory with: mkdir /name_of_directory | 00:06 |
| enen92 | which is denied by the server | 00:06 |
| enen92 | as an attempt of writting to the root folder | 00:06 |
| enen92 | as I can't change that...I'm trying to set the ftp client to the home directory | 00:07 |
| hdd3 | Dictator, do you know somebody who could help? | 00:08 |
| cconsta|work | Hey guys, I made the mistake of doing an 'apt-get install syslog-ng' and now that package is stuck in a state where it can't finish installing (can't open /proc/kmsg, even though the file exists) and it won't uninstall because it can't finish configuring. Help? | 00:08 |
| ejv | jrib: remember that mysql upgrade failure from a few weeks ago you were trying to assist with? | 00:08 |
| jrib | ejv: vaguely | 00:08 |
| ejv | jrib: assist *ME* with | 00:08 |

| ejv | jrib: recap, dpkg was completely failing to let me upgrade, well the solution was clearing out old kernels/images; i had a full /boot partition, preventing dpkg from resolving its various build/install dependencies | 00:09 |
| jrib | ejv: I see. Cool. | 00:09 |
| MicroB | Hi there, Just a quick question..Where does ubuntu 12.04 LTS store the installation files on windows? I have NOT installed ubuntu yet but my hard disk space went from 20GB to 10GB | 00:10 |
| MicroB | This only happened when going through the setup, before the partition stage | 00:10 |
| ejv | jrib: yup, as soon as i cleared out /boot; i was able to rebuild mysql-server | 00:10 |
| ejv | MicroB: sounds like the installer performed a disk resize | 00:10 |
| MicroB | Can you undo it? @ejv | 00:10 |
| Dictator | hdd3, i don't... if you can't find help on here you are not even allowed to ask another ubuntu channel, so i guess you can try Linux Mint help at server irc.spotchat.org on channels #linuxmint-help | 00:11 |
| ejv | MicroB: me, unfortunately not, im at work ;) | 00:11 |
| MicroB | lol I meant is it easily to revert? | 00:11 |
| MicroB | @ejv, Having a look at my disk management, there hasn't been a new partition created...? | 00:13 |
| === RedefinedClank is now known as Clank|Gone | ||
| wilee-nilee | MicroB, This a virtual install, the info is rather full of hole like a piece of swiss cheeses. | 00:17 |
| wilee-nilee | holes | 00:17 |
| MicroB | haha, apologies. Its a Live CD install on a Windows 7 single partition(with 100 MB reserved partition). @wilee-nilee | 00:18 |
| wilee-nilee | MicroB, ubuntu stores no files in windows. | 00:18 |
| wilee-nilee | unless a wubi or virtual in windows | 00:19 |
| MicroB | wilee-nilee, Why'd the space decrease though? | 00:19 |
| wilee-nilee | MicroB, Not sure your info is basically empty. | 00:19 |
| MicroB | Could it be because when it said something about previous changed being written to disk | 00:19 |
| MicroB | meant that it would be writing something to the hard disk..? | 00:19 |
| wilee-nilee | MicroB, This is a windows question, it is attached to ubuntu, you have not installed it right, or resized windows right? | 00:20 |
| wilee-nilee | you have attached it rather | 00:20 |
| MicroB | it may be the resizing, I guess? Let me try it out I guess | 00:20 |
| MicroB | It did say the "max" should be 20% or something | 00:21 |
| wilee-nilee | MicroB, You should be resizing in windows the windos partition then rebooting it to make sure it is okay, leaving a unallocated space for ubuntu. | 00:21 |
| MicroB | wilee-nilee, My amateurness was not aware of this and I sort of went blind by just burning an iso and changing the boot order | 00:22 |
| Dictator | MicroB, maybe try CCleaner to clean your system of temporary files | 00:22 |
| wilee-nilee | MicroB, The ubuntu installer can resize windows however on occasion that causes problems is all. | 00:23 |
| usr13 | MicroB: And defrag | 00:23 |
| MicroB | I've got a SSD, should I be defragging it..? | 00:23 |
| MicroB | usr13: ^ | 00:23 |
| wilee-nilee | optimizing it | 00:23 |
| usr13 | backup and defrag | 00:23 |
| Dictator | bleachbit from Linux cannot compare to CCleaner for Windows | 00:23 |
| Ari-Yang | Dictator, what do you mean temporary files? you mean required deps that aren't needed anymore? I think apt-get autoremove cleans all of that out. | 00:24 |
| usr13 | Does "compare apples to oranges" come to mind? | 00:24 |
| Dictator | MicroB, if you know what you are doing you can also use GParted to eared the partition Ubuntu created on your computer | 00:24 |
| wilee-nilee | MicroB, This is W7 right? | 00:24 |
| MicroB | wilee-nilee: Yes it is | 00:25 |
| Dictator | erase* | 00:25 |
| wilee-nilee | MicroB, It will only optimize the ssd thats what you want. | 00:25 |
| MicroB | Dictator: I had read about GParted so will give that a go | 00:25 |
| MicroB | I thought defragging an SSD is a big no no..? | 00:25 |
| qin | Dictator: What's CCleaner? | 00:25 |
| Dictator | MicroB, but maybe you installed Ubuntu Wubi, which just needs to be uninstalled from Windows | 00:25 |
| usr13 | MicroB: Using GParted is part of Ubuntu's install process. | 00:25 |
| wilee-nilee | MicroB, optimozing is not defragging and you are correct. | 00:26 |
| Ari-Yang | Dictator, also there's apt-get autoclean | 00:26 |
| Ari-Yang | man apt-get | 00:26 |
| Ari-Yang | to see the options etc | 00:26 |
| compdoc | cconsta|work, if there's no one here who can answer, be sure to try the mailing list | 00:26 |

| n31318 | My Ubuntu 13.04 Intel Pro/100 internet drivers won't work | 00:27 |
| MicroB | Dictator: As wilee-nilee said, I've not installed yet which is what I find strange but my hard drive space lowered by 10 GB | 00:27 |
| MicroB | I'll try out the optimizing | 00:27 |
| usr13 | n31318: Fully updated? | 00:27 |
| compdoc | n31318, did you install a driver? | 00:27 |
| n31318 | no | 00:28 |
| wilee-nilee | MicroB, I suspect you are using two different measurements of the HD rsize ight | 00:28 |
| wilee-nilee | size* | 00:28 |
| usr13 | n31318: If not; sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 00:28 |
| MicroB | wilee-nilee: I was using the windows one on my computer | 00:28 |
| n31318 | i cant | 00:29 |
| n31318 | i have no internet | 00:29 |
| wilee-nilee | MicroB, the same one with both measurements | 00:29 |

| palebluedot | hi all, i'm trying to use git with etckeeper. if i manually commit via sudo git, git picks up my git username and email from the env vars. if i use sudo apt-get and install, it uses a different user (the local user and @localhost). does anyone know how to change this? | 00:29 |
| usr13 | n31318: What do you need Intel Pro/100 if you do not have internet? | 00:29 |
| Dictator | MicroB, if your computer is lower spec, maybe you can try Lubuntu, or even Bodhi Linux in the future were are more lightweight | 00:29 |
| n31318 | I do | 00:29 |
| usr13 | *why* | 00:29 |
| n31318 | im saying that i cant connect to it | 00:29 |
| wilee-nilee | MicroB, Not sure other than some call 1000MB a gig some call 1024 MB a gig | 00:30 |
| usr13 | n31318: Wired or WiFi? | 00:30 |
| n31318 | WiFi | 00:30 |
| compdoc | n31318, did you add the card recently? did it ever work? | 00:30 |
| n31318 | yes | 00:30 |

| n31318 | yes | 00:30 |
| compdoc | Intel Pro/100 wifi? | 00:30 |
| usr13 | n31318: Do you have a router? | 00:30 |
| n31318 | i have a netgear adapter connected to it | 00:31 |
| n31318 | of course lol | 00:31 |
| usr13 | n31318: Do you have an ethernet cable? | 00:31 |
| n31318 | yes | 00:31 |
| n31318 | wait | 00:31 |
| MicroB | wilee-nilee: I would say the second one, but from just looking at my computer before inserting the CD I knew I had 20 gb free, after inserting the cd and going through a few steps of the installation, I have 10 GB free | 00:31 |
| usr13 | n31318: Plug it in. | 00:31 |
| * wilee-nilee just loves when two many try to help a project already working fine | 00:31 | |

| n31318 | ermm | 00:31 |
| n31318 | anyway to share screen shots? | 00:32 |
| wilee-nilee | MicroB, YOu HD should have more free space than that anyway, filling it up especially a ssd is not good. | 00:32 |
| usr13 | n31318: Open a terminal, type ifconfig tell us what it says? | 00:32 |
| n31318 | aighty then | 00:32 |
| n31318 | its a lot to type | 00:32 |

| n31318 | just wait | 00:33 |
| n31318 | it's thinking | 00:33 |
| MicroB | wilee-nilee: Thanks, let me try out the resizing one more time. Also as its got 128 GB the OS and some key programs took up a LOT of spcae | 00:33 |
| onetime | Nevermind, found it. ubuntudeveloperportal | 00:33 |

| MicroB | I was going to use a spare USB for linux but wanted to see where the 9 GB went | 00:36 |
| usr13 | n31318: Try another. | 00:36 |
| MicroB | wilee-nilee: ^ | 00:36 |
| wilee-nilee | MicroB, Cool, there are just limitations on filling up a hard drive is all, no one really agrees on this but it is something to be aware of is all. | 00:36 |
| n31318 | or maybe plug it into another port? | 00:36 |
| n31318 | i have 10 usb ports lol | 00:37 |
| PapaSierra | qin: really? i'm not sure, because if the l.h.s equates to false then i want the r.h.s to run. if it's && then it will exit asap and never run the r.h.s | 00:37 |
| n31318 | oh i just noticed something | 00:37 |
| qin | PapaSierra: but if would be much safer | 00:37 |
| usr13 | n31318: Yes...............? | 00:37 |
| PapaSierra | qin right, how do i user if? | 00:37 |
| n31318 | the netgear network adapter isn't flashing | 00:37 |
| MicroB | wilee-nilee: I'll try out the installation one more time and research the previous changes part. Thanks though for the help! :D | 00:37 |
| n31318 | it's not even on | 00:37 |

| hdd3 | i would be eternally grateful if somebody could help me with my external hdd | 00:39 |
| n31318 | oh no | 00:39 |

| qin | PapaSierra: echo $USER; tshows acctual user; try with real and unreal user | 00:40 |
| n31318 | is there ant other way to do it without a router connected directly? | 00:40 |
| n31318 | iphone | 00:40 |
| PapaSierra | qin right, i tried with root and i see 0 foo (user id followed by foo because, yes, root exists) | 00:41 |
| usr13 | n31318: Oh, I'm sure there is, but I wouldn't attempt to help you, would be too complicated. | 00:41 |

| xmetal | hmm | 00:45 |
| wilee-nilee | hdd3, State the issues to the channel for help then, and mint although a derivative of ubuntu is not ubuntu or supported here, I saw a earlier mention of mint is why I ask. | 00:46 |
| PapaSierra | qin so the issue is actually because i'm using capistrano. the command i posted initially works perfect *if logged in with ssh* but not using capistrano | 00:46 |

| hdd3 | wilee-nilee, first thing i tried dosnt show there, doesnt show in system monitor, no matter how often ii switch it on/off or replug... :( | 00:54 |
| usr13 | n31318: After updates are done, reboot. | 00:54 |
| n31318 | :/ | 00:54 |
| n31318 | so theres no way to do it without a router? | 00:54 |
| fermulator | Recently I've been installing gnome-shell (gnome3) -- Unfortunately I added the PPA, which I guess is the "unstable"/"testing" branch (ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3). Since then, I ran a purge against the PPA, and now I'm unable to re-install the Ubuntu stable version of gnome-shell, getting package dependency issues. http://pastebin.com/MEQVwJJY. Does anyone have experience here? (I've tried several things from Google including: autoremove, clean, update, | 00:54 |
| fermulator | dpkg --configure -a, apt-get install -f , .... | 00:54 |
| usr13 | n31318: Maybe someone else here will have some other advice... | 00:54 |
| Dictator | hdd3, i don't think windows can read ext3 files, only NTFS, FAT..etc | 00:55 |
| usr13 | If someone else as advice for n31318 please let him know. | 00:55 |
| n31318 | :/ yup | 00:55 |
| n31318 | wait! | 00:55 |
| n31318 | i have the intel pro linux tar! | 00:55 |

| n31318 | tar.gz files | 00:55 |
| fermulator | There are tools to read extX in Windows | 00:55 |
| n31318 | usr13? | 00:56 |
| usr13 | n31318: Yes. | 00:56 |
| hdd3 | the problem is the hd doesnt show | 00:56 |
| fermulator | I've used: Ext2Fds, Ext2IFS, and Linux_Reader | 00:56 |
| n31318 | i have the intel drivers | 00:56 |
| n31318 | how do i install them? | 00:56 |
| n31318 | its a tar file with src in it | 00:56 |
| Dictator | . | 00:57 |
| usr13 | n31318: Well, first unpack the file. tar xvf file-name.tar.gz | 00:57 |
| PapaSierra | qin that's pretty good, ideally it should be a command rather than script, but i'm reading the link now... | 00:57 |
| fermulator | n31318, did Intel provide a readme? - there should be instructions included with the drivers on how to install the modules | 00:57 |
| usr13 | n31318: cd resulting-directory-name/ && less README.txt | 00:57 |

| Foxhoundz | it doesn't respond | 00:58 |
| n31318 | wait | 00:58 |

| qin | PapaSierra: chown on the end, and all acriptsyou can write as oneliner | 00:58 |
| usr13 | n31318: But bascially, the driver module is more-than-likely built into the kenrnel and you more-than-likely just need to do updates. | 00:59 |
| qin | PapaSierra: also /j #bash may help | 00:59 |
| hdd3 | Dictator, no, and system monitor cant either | 00:59 |
| PapaSierra | qin you're referring the chown right at the bottom of the page? | 00:59 |
| PapaSierra | i'll check out #bash | 00:59 |
| PapaSierra | ty v m | 00:59 |
| qin | PapaSierra: yes | 01:00 |
| Dictator | maybe, its a hardware issue like USB plug or the HDD itself | 01:00 |
| usr13 | n31318: See my PM | 01:00 |
| Foxhoundz | :( | 01:01 |
| Dictator | hdd3, maybe try a liveCD and see if that recognizes it | 01:02 |
| Mnemon | hdd3: can you even see the device? (/dev/sdb or something) | 01:02 |
| hdd3 | Dictator, already did that :( | 01:02 |
| johnjohn101 | is this where we get support for kubuntu? | 01:02 |
| hdd3 | Mnemon, no, it should be sdc, sdb is internal, it doesnt show sdc anywhere | 01:03 |
| Mnemon | hdd3: checked dmesg? | 01:03 |
| Mnemon | sounds like the device is broken or there's some issue in recognizing it | 01:04 |
| hdd3 | Mnemon, cant really read it but i guess there was nothing, wanna see? | 01:04 |
| Mnemon | sure | 01:04 |
| Dictator | is there are way to see if the bios can see it? | 01:04 |
| Gamara | Hello anyone able to help me get my c615 logitech webcams microphone working with skype, the only option I see in skype under sound is pulse audio, so I downloaded the volume control and manager for pulse audio, I checked pulse audio volume control and no recording device is showing up. | 01:05 |
| SilverSlimer | johnjohn101, i'll assume #kubuntu is the channel | 01:05 |
| johnjohn101 | thank you. i just joined there. | 01:05 |
| hdd3 | Mnemon: was too long for terminal, but here it is... :) http://pastebin.com/0VpUmQHL | 01:06 |
| Mnemon | hdd3: replug it and see if you get more of [ 1519.052033] usb 4-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71 or [ 1520.480037] usb 4-2: device not accepting address 12, error -71 etc. | 01:08 |

| Gamara | what is pulse audio server (local) | 01:10 |

| Mnemon | try switching to different usb port if possible | 01:17 |
| Mnemon | if you get nothing there, it's almost certainly a hardware problem with your usb hub or the drive. | 01:18 |

| mork | what steps to conrtol functionality of usb modems? | 01:49 |
| wilee-nilee | mork, THat makes no sense, what is your actual problem. | 01:49 |
| mork | at the command line, since the os doesnt seem to recognise it | 01:50 |
| wilee-nilee | mork, run lsusb and identify it and post that info. | 01:50 |
| mork | my os picks up my usb modem only as a usb stick, i want it to know its a modem | 01:51 |
| hawly | system is recognizing like cdrom instead of modem? | 01:51 |
| mork | lsusb, comes up not as a modem | 01:51 |
| hawly | hehe | 01:51 |
| mork | lol | 01:51 |
| mork | i dont know sigh | 01:52 |
| wilee-nilee | mork, hawly Both of you might check the modems on google seraching with the names of it and ubuntu/linux | 01:52 |
| n35080 | does anyone know the software update command? | 01:52 |
| mork | its saying its just a usb, and not a usb modem, if you understand? | 01:52 |
| hawly | mork do that comes w/ some sort of driver in it? | 01:52 |
| n35080 | isnt it sudo apt-get install && something? | 01:52 |
| wilee-nilee | n35080, sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade | 01:52 |
| n35080 | aight cool bro | 01:53 |
| n35080 | ty | 01:53 |

| jennie | how to uninstall ubuntu without effecting GRUB because ever since I installed ubuntu from 11.10(some version) I am getting error 'sorry internal program crashed send report' I also ran full update after it but still it never goes so I want to uninstall ubuntu and use something else, I have dual boot so I am asking how to preserve dual boot and uninstall ubuntu | 02:36 |
| lotuspsychje | !eol | jennie | 02:37 |
| projectmanga | i feel ignored | 02:37 |
| ubottu | jennie: 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 | 02:37 |
| wilee-nilee | jennie, Whats the other OS? | 02:37 |
| jennie | windows7 | 02:37 |
| lotuspsychje | projectmanga: re-ask your question here once in a while mate | 02:37 |
| projectmanga | i will repeat my problem my computer is not recognizing my zaurus pda sl-5500 i know the problem but im trying to find a single command to do that | 02:37 |
| lotuspsychje | projectmanga: what ubuntu version? | 02:38 |
| wilee-nilee | jennie, grub wont boot windows with a linux os there basically you need to reload the mbr with the windows bootloader. | 02:38 |
| projectmanga | 13.04 | 02:38 |
| wilee-nilee | without* | 02:38 |
| lotuspsychje | projectmanga: fully updated? | 02:38 |
| projectmanga | yes | 02:38 |
| wilee-nilee | jennie, If you want another linux it will reinstall grub. | 02:38 |
| jennie | right now the GRUB shows both ubuntu ,windows and memory test options | 02:38 |
| lotuspsychje | projectmanga: what happens if you plugin your device with usb cable? | 02:39 |
| projectmanga | the pda is seen as an ethernet network | 02:39 |
| lotuspsychje | projectmanga: you see an icon in your dash? | 02:40 |
| jennie | wilee-nilee, how to find GRUB boot loader drive, I got 3 hdd installed in PC | 02:40 |
| wilee-nilee | jennie, YOU can reload the windows bootloader if you want to use it till you ahve another OS chosen, or install the other and grub will be reinstalled, you don;t save the dualboot per-say. | 02:40 |
| projectmanga | no im fairly familiar wiht unity | 02:41 |
| wilee-nilee | jennie, To do what? | 02:41 |
| lotuspsychje | projectmanga: when you plugin your pda, can you see a new icon showing in the left bar with icons? | 02:41 |
| jennie | ok wilee-nilee I will try reinstalling at current linux partition | 02:42 |
| wilee-nilee | jennie, Yeah just do a manual install and set the partition to be formatted. | 02:42 |
| lotuspsychje | projectmanga: you should be able to browse your pda, same way as an usb device pop up | 02:42 |
| projectmanga | i understand the unity bar i do not see a storage device icon | 02:42 |

| lotuspsychje | projectmanga: your purpose is sync the device or just file browsing? | 02:45 |
| qin | projectmanga: does dmesg tell something usefull? | 02:45 |

| lotuspsychje | projectmanga: there are thousands of booting problems...wich one affects you? | 02:53 |
| projectmanga | i can boot but when i boot i get a blank screen i have to put it into sleep mode then back out again | 02:54 |
| wilee-nilee | DrkShadow, You might post the command if short or pastebin it if longer. | 02:55 |
| DrkShadow | wilee-nilee: vim cron/<tab><tab> shows nothing. There's one file in there, index.html. | 02:55 |
| DrkShadow | err index.php | 02:55 |
| wilee-nilee | not to me though | 02:55 |
| lotuspsychje | projectmanga: did you install graphics driver correctly? | 02:55 |
| projectmanga | yea no problem just dont worry about ive had this problem wiht anything based on 13.04 | 02:57 |
| projectmanga | im still working with my pda | 02:57 |
| Foxhoundz | Oh ubuntu | 02:57 |
| Foxhoundz | I would love you so if every update didn't render you useless | 02:58 |
| clue_h | DrkShadow, did you look in /etc/bash.bashrc and are the lines under '# enable bash completion in interactive shells' commented out ? | 02:58 |
| lotuspsychje | DrkShadow: http://askubuntu.com/questions/142994/bash-completion-doesnt-work-in-root-user | 02:58 |
| wilee-nilee | Foxhoundz, IT doesn't you have messed up something | 02:58 |
| Foxhoundz | wilee-nilee: I made a fresh install and simply followed the prompts to update packages | 02:58 |
| Foxhoundz | That was it | 02:58 |
| Foxhoundz | I couldn't reboot into Unity again | 02:59 |
| lotuspsychje | projectmanga: you could try a failsafeX from grub at boot, recoverymode | 02:59 |
| lotuspsychje | Foxhoundz: ubuntu version? | 02:59 |
| wilee-nilee | Foxhoundz, That does not qualify you to malign the OS on the IRC however. | 02:59 |
| Foxhoundz | 13.04 | 02:59 |
| Foxhoundz | I think it has something to do with Unity | 03:00 |
| lotuspsychje | Foxhoundz: also try a failsafeX from grub | 03:00 |
| Foxhoundz | and my graphics car | 03:00 |
| Foxhoundz | card* | 03:00 |
| Foxhoundz | Alright | 03:00 |
| Foxhoundz | brb ( on VPS) | 03:00 |
| DrkShadow | There is no /etc/bash.bashrc. | 03:03 |
| lotuspsychje | im looking to remove useradd icon is that possible to just use the terminal way adding users? | 03:04 |
| DrkShadow | oh sorry, it didn't show me the filename when I tried completion | 03:04 |
| DrkShadow | It seems to be only screwing up with vim | 03:04 |
| projectmanga | im only running ubuntu 13.04 i dont have grub again dont worry about | 03:05 |
| === AntiSpamMeta_ is now known as AntiSpamMeta | ||
| DrkShadow | t's only vim that doesn't work. It will complete directories, but it won't show any flies. bash-completion installed or not, it doesn't matter. | 03:06 |
| lotuspsychje | DrkShadow: so you want autocompletion for vim actually? | 03:07 |
| DrkShadow | lotuspsychje: I'd rather not have _any_ special completion, but I _really_want_ files to show up when I tab-tab. | 03:07 |
| DrkShadow | (i.e. on every other distro I've ever used, things in the filesystem always show up, and commands always show up. But there is nothing special on a per-command basis, as Ubuntu seems to do.) | 03:08 |
| lotuspsychje | DrkShadow: ls? | 03:08 |
| DrkShadow | ls shows files if I tab-tab. vim doesn't. | 03:08 |

| lotuspsychje | DrkShadow: maybe this snippet? http://superuser.com/questions/343443/are-there-any-autocompletion-plugins-for-vim | 03:11 |

| clue_h | pepper_chico, i was thinking maybe a python script invoked with a shortcut that contacts unity-2d over bus, using pythons unity library | 03:16 |
| pepper_chico | I dunno whether there's such option there, and, didn't try to much looking it up by myself because as I said, I'm afraid of ccsm | 03:16 |
| pepper_chico | clue_h, sounds cool, but a lot of work | 03:17 |
| lotuspsychje | pepper_chico: dont be affraid of an ubuntu package :p | 03:17 |
| pepper_chico | sorry, past experiences with ccsm made me that way | 03:18 |
| Liam- | when installing Ubuntu 10.10 32x, Ubuntu 13.04 32x, lubuntu (newest version, not sure what one), 32x, each one tells him that it needs pae for it to be installed | 03:19 |
| Liam- | when i googled this, a few posts stated that lubuntu 32x would work around that issue | 03:19 |
| Liam- | what else could be an issue/solution? | 03:19 |
| lotuspsychje | !pae | Liam- | 03:19 |
| ubottu | Liam-: 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 | 03:19 |

| holstein | HeyM-Cld: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/05/how-to-install-ubuntu-1204-on-non-pae.html | 03:21 |
| Liam- | ah. | 03:21 |
| jennie | how cna I do force upgrade with force atitude ? | 03:22 |
| HeyM-Cld | I'll burn yet another disk and try this | 03:22 |
| lotuspsychje | pepper_chico: maybe re-ask wich hotkey you want exactly in channel so others can help | 03:22 |
| HeyM-Cld | I've already burned 6 in the process | 03:22 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: you have hardware that is not pae.. | 03:22 |
| xmetal | hmm | 03:23 |
| wilee-nilee | jennie, atitude? | 03:23 |
| clue_h | pepper_chico, whats the output of 'gsettings get com.canonical.Unity2d.Launcher super-key-enable' from terminal? | 03:23 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: no matter how many iso's or disks you have made, or plan to make, you will need to make arrangments to support your unsupported hardware | 03:23 |
| * xmetal agrees with holstein | 03:23 | |
| HeyM-Cld | holstein: Oh, so the link you gave should work? | 03:23 |
| xmetal | aptitude, jennie means i take it | 03:23 |
| xmetal | (or did i screw it up too? lol) | 03:24 |
| pepper_chico | clue_h, no schema for it | 03:24 |
| pepper_chico | there's no com.canonical.Unity2d.Launcher schema | 03:24 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: you have non-pae hardware, and pae only isos.. so, when you read the link i gave, and follow whatever instructions you choose to have the correct kernel for you hardware.. yes it will work | 03:24 |
| wilee-nilee | HeyM-Cld, The net install will do a non pae install | 03:25 |
| HeyM-Cld | holstein: The link is for what version of ubuntu? the mini.iso | 03:25 |
| holstein | !mini | HeyM-Cld | 03:25 |
| ubottu | HeyM-Cld: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 03:25 |
| pepper_chico | lotuspsychje, I'm looking for any hotkey, given the constraints, that's the reason I left it open | 03:25 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: also, wilee-nilee has just suggested the net install.. | 03:25 |
| lotuspsychje | holstein: you know if i can remove the useradd icon, to prevent other users poking into userlist? | 03:26 |
| projectmanga | i got a kernal panic who was pming | 03:26 |
| HeyM-Cld | Ok | 03:26 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: the "version" is whatever version you want.. i would do 12.04, since that guide states that it works.. and non-pae is not going to get more supported | 03:26 |
| pepper_chico | lotuspsychje, any key, or combination of keys, that could do that simple unhide, just that | 03:26 |
| pepper_chico | without the obligatory Dash | 03:26 |
| holstein | lotuspsychje: not sure.. you mean in the useradd gui? | 03:27 |
| holstein | lotuspsychje: i know, lots of "lockdown" features are missing, in my opinion | 03:27 |
| lotuspsychje | holstein: yes, you think removing it in /usr/share/aplications would be safe? | 03:27 |
| holstein | lotuspsychje: hmm. i would probably do that in virtualiztion first | 03:28 |
| lotuspsychje | holstein: i already use the lightdm trick to hide users at boot login screen | 03:29 |
| lotuspsychje | holstein: now im looking for the useradd gui and lock down /home/otherusers | 03:29 |
| holstein | lotuspsychje: what DE? unity? | 03:29 |
| lotuspsychje | holstein: 13.04 64 bit | 03:29 |
| holstein | lotuspsychje: unity? | 03:29 |

| holstein | ntzrmtthihu777: gconf is where that used to be.. i havent moved them in quite a few versions | 03:36 |
| wilee-nilee | ntzrmtthihu777, When I used unity I used ubuntu-tweak to do that. | 03:37 |
| wilee-nilee | dconf after 12.04 | 03:37 |
| wilee-nilee | ntzrmtthihu777, What release you running? | 03:38 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | wilee-nilee: not using unity, lol. 13.04, coulda sworn I posted that :/ | 03:38 |
| === mayday-jay is now known as mayday_jay | ||
| wilee-nilee | ntzrmtthihu777, Ah to the left, lol I missed that dconf-editor | 03:38 |
| holstein | ntzrmtthihu777: you *still* havent posted what you are using.. are you using gnome? or just a gnome-panel with some other de? | 03:38 |
| HeyM-Cld | Ok I burned the mini.iso to the disk, but it stops when it gets to the get packages menu | 03:38 |
| HeyM-Cld | Any solutions? | 03:39 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: what stops what? | 03:39 |
| wilee-nilee | HeyM-Cld, You plugged into the net? | 03:39 |

| HeyM-Cld | wilee-nilee: yes | 03:39 |
| lotuspsychje | holstein: ah seems like useradd can add a user without a /home (normally adduser) | 03:39 |

| holstein | HeyM-Cld: on what step? are you getting errors? did you confirm the md5 sum? | 03:41 |
| projectmanga | sd | 03:41 |
| projectmanga | just sd | 03:41 |
| pepper_chico | clue_h, cool, I may write the keybind script, but still, that's not unhiding, it's changing the hiding mode, and, because of that, the desktop icons get shifted because the Launcher takes space | 03:42 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | holstein: yes, I did. my last message said 13.04 | 03:42 |
| projectmanga | and it does not recognize the sd card | 03:42 |
| projectmanga | on it | 03:42 |
| holstein | ntzrmtthihu777: ok.. 13.04 using gnome? what de are you using, friend? if not unity? | 03:42 |
| projectmanga | im trying to update it wiht an image | 03:42 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | holstein: and the message before that told the DE, gnome-panel, with compiz | 03:42 |
| holstein | ntzrmtthihu777: gnome-panel is a panel | 03:42 |
| hanasaki | does the current distribution support intel on cpu video directly or are driver downloads needed? | 03:42 |
| holstein | ntzrmtthihu777: are you using gnome? or just the gnome panel with some other DE? | 03:43 |
| pepper_chico | also it doesn't unhide, it just pops up without any animation | 03:43 |
| clue_h | pepper_chico, ah i suspected as much, that's why i thought of sending a dbus message in python directly with unity lib | 03:43 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | holstein: gnome-session-fallback, aka gnome-panel :/ | 03:43 |
| jennie | wilee-nilee, aptitude I mean | 03:43 |
| xmetal | lol | 03:44 |
| hanasaki | ntzrmtthihu777: lol kde :) | 03:44 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | hanasaki: ? | 03:44 |
| HeyM-Cld | The cmd for the md5 isn't working either... | 03:44 |
| holstein | ntzrmtthihu777: so, you are using gnome then.. just to clarify, since either you or some naming system of gnome is *quite* confusing.. correct? just gnome? | 03:45 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | holstein: not the gnome of the ubuntu-gnome iso. more like the older gnome2. | 03:46 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | holstein: in any case I think its irrelevant, its more about the compiz setting. I can't find it in ccsm, and ubuntu-tweak depends on unity which I don't want to install XD | 03:46 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | holstein: ah, nevermind, you gave the correct command to set the to the right, lol. I had to fix the order proper, but thank you anyways :D | 03:57 |
| HeyM-Cld | Well do you have a possible solution to the mini.iso stopping when it does to install packages? | 03:57 |
| projectmanga | nothing | 03:57 |
| HeyM-Cld | Without checking the md5 | 03:58 |
| holstein | ntzrmtthihu777: i just gave a command for you to use.. i figured you'd set the order | 03:58 |
| lotuspsychje | projectmanga: ok check your syslog.1 log maybe errors in there with your device? | 03:58 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: checking the md5 summ is an easy first step that i would do.. first.. before other steps | 03:58 |
| HeyM-Cld | But I have no say of getting the file to check | 03:59 |
| hanasaki | been searching but do not see any comparison between these NICs or if ubuntu supports them directly... 82563 vs Intel I217-V | 03:59 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: md5sum /path/to/iso .. check against the md5 at the site where you downloaded the iso | 03:59 |
| HeyM-Cld | It's not on the site nor the iso | 04:00 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: you generate the local md5.. as i said | 04:00 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: with teh md5sum command.. windows utilities are mentioned at the link i gave you.. | 04:00 |
| HeyM-Cld | You never said but ok | 04:00 |
| lotuspsychje | !hardware | hanasaki | 04:00 |
| ubottu | hanasaki: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 04:00 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: i gave it to you twice, and im referring to the sentence above | 04:00 |
| HeyM-Cld | The cmd needs the .md5 file | 04:01 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | holstein: yeah, shoulda noticed that. I've done this before, but its been a while. | 04:01 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: lets keep this constructive.. open a terminal.. run md5sum /path/to/file | 04:01 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: this will *generate* an md5sum on the downloaded version of the file.. you check that against the "known good" one that you will get from the site where you downloaded the iso | 04:02 |
| holstein | ntzrmtthihu777: i think it was once in 12.04 i moved them.. last | 04:02 |
| hanasaki | lotuspsychje: great page.. looks like a marketing company.. no readily accessible list or search function | 04:03 |
| hanasaki | but its pretty | 04:03 |
| svetter | anyone here from canonical? I got a DNS issue to report. extras.ubuntu.com resolves to fe80::a2b3:ccff:fee0:d988 which is probably not the right address | 04:03 |
| lotuspsychje | hanasaki: the way i see it, there's always a trick to make hardware work, on some version of ubuntu... | 04:04 |
| R0bin | hello fellow ubuntu enthusiast. i recently ran ubuntnu on a virtual machine with a gnome and everything. quite liked it | 04:04 |
| svetter | makes it impossible to connect from ipv6-only hosts | 04:04 |
| lotuspsychje | !yay | R0bin | 04:04 |
| ubottu | R0bin: Glad you made it! :-) | 04:04 |
| hanasaki | lotuspsychje: more about the kernel and drivers than "tricks" just looking to see if its "just there" or what work is needed before buying | 04:05 |
| projectmanga | not a serious question but does anyone else 'like" unity | 04:05 |
| HeyM-Cld | holstein: This is what I got: http://pastie.org/8261669 | 04:05 |
| holstein | projectmanga: try the #ubuntu-offtopic for chat about opinions, please :) | 04:06 |
| lotuspsychje | projectmanga: use #ubuntu-offtopic for that mate | 04:06 |
| lotuspsychje | hanasaki: might be handy indeed to know before you buy | 04:07 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: when i go to the link i gave you for the download of that iso, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD ,i see the known good md5 sums i was mentioned, and that were referenced in the links i gave. let me look and tell you if they are matching | 04:07 |
| projectmanga | okay | 04:07 |
| Foxhoundz | ok | 04:07 |
| lotuspsychje | !notunity | projectmanga | 04:08 |
| ubottu | projectmanga: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. | 04:08 |
| HeyM-Cld | holstein: You have me this link: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/05/how-to-install-ubuntu-1204-on-non-pae.html | 04:08 |
| Foxhoundz | I'm in Ubuntu (via SSH on a VPS) | 04:08 |
| Foxhoundz | and Gnome is still not letting me login | 04:08 |
| Foxhoundz | I'm using Ubuntu's Gnome 3 Remix | 04:08 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: *and* a link to the minimal iso you downloade of which the quality we are determining | 04:08 |
| Foxhoundz | Not Unity | 04:08 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: the sum is not listed there, so you either downloade the incorrect image, or you have a bad download | 04:08 |
| Hypnotix | Morning | 04:09 |
| HeyM-Cld | holstein: I don't understand why we are doing the md5 think | 04:09 |
| HeyM-Cld | thing* | 04:09 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: because we have determined that it is a bad downloa | 04:09 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | holstein: ah, see that? gnome-panel :P | 04:09 |
| holstein | download* | 04:09 |
| HeyM-Cld | holstein: Then why did you link it to me? | 04:09 |
| Hypnotix | I have a big problem with Ubuntu, it won't boot | 04:09 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: please relax | 04:10 |
| lotuspsychje | !details | Hypnotix | 04:10 |
| ubottu | Hypnotix: 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 ..." | 04:10 |
| HeyM-Cld | holstein: I am relaxed | 04:10 |
| wilee-nilee | Hypnotix, Can you give some details? | 04:10 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | HeyM-Cld: md5sum = digital fingerprint, if the fingerprint you generate doesn't match the one on file its a corrupt download. | 04:10 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: you need to download this iso Ubuntu 12.04 "Precise Pangolin" Minimal CD 27MB* (MD5: e4d16caf537be112f3dc9ba94e158cf7 | 04:10 |
| Hypnotix | I'm at a screen now where I see (initramfs) command prompt | 04:10 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: you get it from here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 04:10 |
| wilee-nilee | Hypnotix, This is an install? | 04:11 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: you can use the md5sum command after downloading to make sure the downloaded image is the same as the above listed one that you are attempting to download | 04:11 |
| Hypnotix | I'm typing from my phone right now | 04:11 |
| Hypnotix | No it worked fine last jig t | 04:11 |
| HeyM-Cld | Matches | 04:11 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: *then* you use the other reference.. http://www.webupd8.org/2012/05/how-to-install-ubuntu-1204-on-non-pae.html | 04:11 |
| Hypnotix | Night | 04:11 |
| lotuspsychje | Hypnotix: try a failsafeX from grub recovery | 04:11 |
| HeyM-Cld | now I have to burn yet another disk ugg | 04:12 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: no.. you need to redownload the proper iso.. the one mentioned above | 04:12 |
| Hypnotix | How do I get a grub recovery | 04:12 |
| lotuspsychje | Hypnotix: hold shift at boot, enter grub and choose recoverymode/failsafeX | 04:12 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: please do not complain here about burning discs with images that are not appropriate for your hardware, or isos that your internet have downloaded improperly.. take that to #ubuntu-offtopic | 04:13 |
| HeyM-Cld | You told me to download it... | 04:13 |
| R0bin | quick question. OS xmountain lion has been a very hospitable coding and linux server interacting environment. is ubuntu about the same i mean all GNOMEs seam to be the same just look different. i mean the terminal is ubuntu is spittn image and to my knowledge is teh same bash$ | 04:13 |
| lotuspsychje | HeyM-Cld: we are trying to help you here.. | 04:14 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: did you download the iso i listed? | 04:14 |
| wilee-nilee | Hypnotix, In the grub menu. | 04:14 |
| HeyM-Cld | holstein: When? | 04:14 |
| HeyM-Cld | holstein: Now? If so, yes. | 04:14 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: just above.. the iso at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD named Ubuntu 12.04 "Precise Pangolin" Minimal CD 27MB* (MD5: e4d16caf537be112f3dc9ba94e158cf7 | 04:14 |
| HeyM-Cld | Yes I did | 04:14 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: see that the image matches.. | 04:14 |
| HeyM-Cld | I did, it does | 04:15 |
| Hypnotix | Last night Ubuntu asked me to install a partial update with some Microsoft language thing | 04:15 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: then, you can proceed as i stated, to the guide Ubuntu 12.04 "Precise Pangolin" Minimal CD 27MB* (MD5: e4d16caf537be112f3dc9ba94e158cf7 | 04:15 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: the guide http://www.webupd8.org/2012/05/how-to-install-ubuntu-1204-on-non-pae.html * | 04:15 |
| lotuspsychje | Hypnotix: you dualbooting? | 04:15 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: understand? | 04:15 |
| Hypnotix | Recovery mode failed | 04:15 |
| HeyM-Cld | Yes | 04:15 |
| Hypnotix | Yes lotuspshychje | 04:16 |
| wilee-nilee | Hypnotix, You did a partial upgrade? | 04:17 |
| lotuspsychje | Hypnotix: can you see previous kernels in grub to try boot? | 04:17 |
| Hypnotix | Yes wilee | 04:17 |
| lotuspsychje | !tab | Hypnotix | 04:17 |
| ubottu | Hypnotix: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 04:17 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | lotuspsychje: what an awesome tool it is, no? | 04:18 |
| Hypnotix | I can see 3.8.0-27 and - 19 | 04:18 |
| lotuspsychje | ntzrmtthihu777: indeed :p | 04:18 |
| Hypnotix | lotus I'm on a phone so no tab for me | 04:18 |
| HeyM-Cld | holstein: It froze when I pressed ENTER on 'Install' | 04:19 |
| lotuspsychje | Hypnotix: try a previous kernel maybe to enter your system? | 04:19 |
| Hypnotix | I am trying now | 04:19 |
| HeyM-Cld | This: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-B1LNNN2iIXc/T6FG3824aAI/AAAAAAAAI0g/5qCwgtvJwjk/s320/ubuntu1204-mini_1.png | 04:19 |
| Privacee | is it possible to use a laptop running ubuntu as a wifi extender just like in windows 7? | 04:19 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: i would test the hardware.. you can also have a bad component causing issues | 04:19 |
| HeyM-Cld | Can you exmplain | 04:19 |
| HeyM-Cld | Explain | 04:20 |
| lotuspsychje | Privacee: what you mean by extener | 04:20 |
| Hypnotix | nope still get lots of errors | 04:20 |
| wilee-nilee | Privacee, as a hot spot yes | 04:20 |
| lotuspsychje | Hypnotix: well if recovery and kernel dont boot, something def wrong :p | 04:20 |
| Privacee | Privacee, is there an app for that? | 04:21 |
| Privacee | lol | 04:21 |
| Privacee | i mean wilee-nilee * | 04:21 |
| lotuspsychje | Hypnotix: maybe its time you single boot ubuntu and loose win once and for good | 04:21 |
| sam__ | hi all, successfully have win8 and ubuntu 13.04 installed on new y510p laptop. Is there an EASY way to edit the entries for each os (generated after running boot-repair)???? | 04:21 |
| Hypnotix | But my gamesssss :) | 04:21 |
| lotuspsychje | Hypnotix: you can game on ubuntu | 04:21 |
| sam__ | Hypnotix....same reason I keep it around | 04:21 |
| wilee-nilee | Privacee, Never done it but I believe you can have it send the wifi, not sure really. | 04:22 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: sure.. a loose or broken wire somewhere could cause *all* attempts at installing *anything* to not work.. .or installers to freeze.. or bad memory could cause a file downloaded to contain the wrong data | 04:22 |
| lotuspsychje | Hypnotix: steam, playonlinux, wine.. | 04:22 |
| sam__ | its getting better ....gaming on linux.....but still need winblows for some stuff | 04:22 |
| Ari-Yang | Hyperbyte, there is steam on ubuntu, but not all games are available | 04:22 |
| HeyM-Cld | holstein: But Windows on it works fine | 04:22 |
| Privacee | i just want to make sure, do i need 2 wireless adapters or just 1? | 04:22 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: what tests did you run in windows? | 04:23 |
| HeyM-Cld | I didn't run tests, I'm just saying it works fine | 04:23 |
| lotuspsychje | Hypnotix: did some went wrong on an update for you? | 04:23 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: then, enjoy it | 04:23 |
| Hypnotix | so there is no way to recover Ubuntu | 04:24 |
| HeyM-Cld | I need ubuntu to run a server | 04:24 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: you can likely find out how to confirm in your have pae or not in windows | 04:24 |
| sam__ | Is there an EASY way to edit the entries for each os (generated after running boot-repair)???? | 04:24 |
| lotuspsychje | Hypnotix: you can use livecd to restore aswell and keep your /home files intact | 04:24 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: you dont need ubuntu desktop to run a server.. ubuntu server 10.04 is still supported.. and you can use putty to ssh into an ubuntu server | 04:24 |
| Hypnotix | I did get an error and u unto asked for a partial update | 04:24 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: you can run virtualbox.. and virtualize ubuntu server... | 04:24 |
| Ari-Yang | Hypnotix, http://store.steampowered.com/search/?os=linux | 04:25 |
| wilee-nilee | Privacee, IN the network manager I see use as hot mspot | 04:25 |
| wilee-nilee | hot spot* | 04:25 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: http://www.turnkeylinux.org/ these are live ubuntu based server appliance isos | 04:25 |
| HeyM-Cld | The computer can't run vms lol | 04:25 |
| holstein | !volunteers | HeyM-Cld | 04:25 |
| ubottu | HeyM-Cld: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 04:25 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: *please* lol in another channel.. ike the #ubuntu-offtopic one i mentioned | 04:26 |
| HeyM-Cld | I was just saying... | 04:26 |
| lotuspsychje | Ari-Yang: did you see those alienware ubuntu gaming boxes? | 04:26 |
| Hypnotix | I booted from my usb stick not | 04:26 |
| HeyM-Cld | Wow | 04:26 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: you *can* run server VMs. or i wouldnt have mentioned it | 04:26 |
| Privacee | actually, i just want my phone to have access to the internet since the wifi ranger isn't as good as the laptop, i can probably use internet passthough via USB too right? | 04:26 |
| Ari-Yang | lotuspsychje, no I have not... | 04:26 |
| lotuspsychje | Ari-Yang: http://www.alienware.com/ubuntu/ | 04:26 |
| HeyM-Cld | holstein: I didn't come here to argue I came here to find a solution which apperantly cannot be fixed | 04:27 |
| lotuspsychje | Hypnotix: try recover from your usb then | 04:27 |
| Hypnotix | Clicked continue in the first installation screen and froze | 04:27 |
| Hypnotix | sigh | 04:27 |
| lotuspsychje | Hypnotix: you sure your hardware isnt broke? | 04:27 |
| Privacee | the problem is using internet passthrough isn't as intuitive as in windows | 04:28 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: i assume you i do not intend to argue.. i dont think you have anything broken to fix.. you should confirm if you have pae support or not, and it wont hurt to test the hardware.. since you did have a bad download | 04:28 |
| holstein | assure* | 04:28 |
| Hypnotix | All was working fine last night | 04:28 |
| wilee-nilee | Privacee, In general very little linux is plug and play | 04:28 |
| HeyM-Cld | holstein: Yeah, but the one I just downloaded didn't work either | 04:28 |
| sam__ | is there a gui program that lets you edit grub2 entries???? | 04:29 |
| lotuspsychje | Hypnotix: i would go for a clean install | 04:29 |
| wilee-nilee | sam__, To do what? | 04:29 |
| Hypnotix | Well I am trying to do that | 04:29 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: right.. so what are the common elements? you, the optical drive.. the optical media. the same internet. the same machine | 04:29 |
| sam__ | Is there an EASY way to edit the entries for each os (generated after running boot-repair)???? | 04:29 |
| lotuspsychje | Hypnotix: well if that doesnt work, something def wrong with hardware | 04:29 |
| wilee-nilee | sam__, Easy is an opinion, what is it you want exactly? | 04:30 |
| HeyM-Cld | Yes | 04:30 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: what do you need ubuntu for? running an ubuntu server? | 04:30 |
| holstein | !putty | 04:30 |
| ubottu | PuTTY is an !SSH client for Windows. Please see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage and downloads. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) | 04:30 |
| HeyM-Cld | Running a mc server, I need to have it working, running it on windows is not an option | 04:31 |
| wilee-nilee | sam__, There are no real gui's for grub basically, you would edit text. | 04:31 |
| sam__ | wilee-nilee i need to get rid of entries that are bogus and I want to change the label of the Windows 8 one so that the word recovery is not in there....it is erroneously | 04:32 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: then, i would check that your CPU is pae or not and let a volunteer here know.. and go from there | 04:32 |
| lasers | Do Ubuntu have a factoid for virus scanner iso to be tested on Windows machine? | 04:32 |
| sam__ | okay what file do I need to edit (location) | 04:32 |
| wilee-nilee | sam__, Have you run a update-grub to see if it cleans up? | 04:32 |
| lotuspsychje | !info clamav | lasers | 04:33 |

| sam__ | I installed ubuntu, then had to run boot-repair.... | 04:33 |
| pepper_chico | by the way, finished installing elementary OS VM, man, this os an OS X copycat | 04:33 |
| sco_ | hello , im having trouble connecting wireless broadband in ubuntu 13.04 . Im not sure how to proceed | 04:33 |
| === Guest51887 is now known as X-User | ||
| sam__ | I'm assuming boot repair did all that. | 04:33 |
| xmetal | there is "grub customizer" (i had to download the deb seperately) though even that doesn't work "perfectly" with grub all the time | 04:33 |
| pepper_chico | but cool anyway | 04:33 |
| lasers | lotuspsychje: Ah, not what I was hoping for. Much thanks. | 04:33 |
| holstein | sam__: i would just use it.. i mean, how often are you trying to show off grub? | 04:33 |
| sam__ | because it did give me a new boot menu.....but there are still some error/erroenous stuff on it | 04:33 |
| lotuspsychje | pepper_chico: stop using this support chat to troll this | 04:33 |
| X-User | what is a preferred way to install Ubuntu, with a DVD or USB? | 04:34 |
| lotuspsychje | lasers: what exactly do you need | 04:34 |
| sam__ | its for my kid | 04:34 |
| xmetal | either way | 04:34 |
| wilee-nilee | sam__, Maybe, I would run sudo update-grub and check it, chances are it is just reading what is on the computer. | 04:34 |
| lasers | X-User: USB if you can. No need to waste a disc. | 04:34 |
| wwolf | I like using USB as it is typically faster installation. But both have worked fine for me. | 04:34 |
| holstein | sam__: i woulld argue a kid doesnt need dual boot | 04:34 |
| sam__ | 18 year old kid | 04:35 |
| X-User | lasers, Brasero wasted 2 of my Disc already! what a bad piece of software! | 04:35 |
| Hypnotix | So after booting from usb trying to install it still freezes | 04:35 |
| holstein | sam__: there are *many* customization options.. and they are all easy to break grub.. | 04:35 |
| sam__ | Generating grub.cfg ... | 04:35 |
| holstein | sam__: if its worth the hassle, go for it | 04:35 |
| lotuspsychje | Hypnotix: on wich part freeze? | 04:35 |
| sam__ | okay how do I get to see it now? | 04:35 |
| wwolf | Hypno -- what is the issue your having? | 04:35 |
| HeyM-Cld | holstein: It supports pae | 04:36 |
| lotuspsychje | wwolf: his machine freezes after update yesterday | 04:36 |
| holstein | sam__: you see grub at boot, if you have it set to show | 04:36 |
| wilee-nilee | sam_ what the terminal says is partially correct but a reboot will show the menu. | 04:36 |
| X-User | sam__, who is a kid when they are 18? huh? in older days people used to get married on that age? | 04:36 |
| HeyM-Cld | holstein: Here is proof: http://ark.intel.com/products/27142/Intel-Celeron-M-Processor-350-1M-Cache-1_30-GHz-400-MHz-FSB | 04:36 |
| Hypnotix | Right before the partition select screen | 04:36 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: then, your issue is *not* what your friend said earier | 04:36 |
| wwolf | Thanks lotuspychje | 04:36 |
| lotuspsychje | wwolf: he tryed recovery from grub, previous kernel and install from usb | 04:36 |
| lasers | lotuspsychje: Family's friend dropped an old-ish laptop on me. Issues. I looked at it. Meh. Old Windows XP on tiny laptop. Old man. I figure I'd look for iso that linux people often use to do fast clean, fast fix, fast etc. I'm half tempted to dualboot this with ElementaryOS (very friendly *nix OS). | 04:36 |
| HeyM-Cld | Oh, then what can it be? | 04:36 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: you can confirm the md5 of an appropriate iso | 04:37 |
| Hypnotix | Yeah and still nothing works so far | 04:37 |
| sam__ | yeah, well the kid is off to University and I'm trying to send him off with decent laptop all fixed up for him.....you know....before I kick him in the ass, throw him out the door, and lock it for good | 04:37 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: i would start with a 32bit lubuntu live iso.. and make certain the md5 sum checks out | 04:37 |
| holstein | !language | sam__ | 04:37 |
| ubottu | sam__: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 04:37 |
| sam__ | I'm a softie | 04:37 |
| lotuspsychje | lasers: clean install lubuntu on it? | 04:37 |
| X-User | lasers, Elementary dudes are doing a great job! | 04:37 |
| sam__ | sorry, meant to say arse | 04:37 |
| holstein | this is not the elementaryOS channel | 04:38 |
| * lotuspsychje agrees | 04:38 | |
| xmetal | i'd try Lubuntu or (a new one i just found this week .,.. i think it was lotus that got me curious about it) Enlightenmint on older hardware | 04:38 |
| xmetal | :) i like both | 04:38 |

| Hypnotix | so tell me how to test my hdd pls | 04:43 |
| lotuspsychje | Hypnotix: try the ##hardware channel mate | 04:43 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: because you used it to get the iso.. and the sum is not matching.. so somewhere between your computer and the hosted iso is the issue | 04:43 |

| holstein | kenonfire: i would take interenet to that computer.. otherwise, you can use synaptic to generate download scripts for .debs | 04:53 |
| HypnotiX_ | and the installer doesnt work | 04:53 |
| kenonfire | isn't there a ubuntu official site that host packages to just download | 04:53 |
| HypnotiX_ | it just hangs while trying to read my partition data i guess | 04:54 |
| wilee-nilee | sco_, Huawei E160 Wireless Dongle is the device right? | 04:54 |
| kenonfire | packages.ubuntu.com | 04:54 |

| sco_ | yes wilee-nilee | 04:54 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: you are.. if the sumes dont match, the dont match.. are you absolutely sure? | 04:54 |

| === Companion is now known as companion | ||
| HeyM-Cld | I mean the not matching can cause the pae problem | 04:55 |
| wilee-nilee | sco_, I see very little hits on ubuntu on google with it, but the thread I just posted seemed to get it working. | 04:55 |
| lotuspsychje | HypnotiX_: the step before partition its normal to take some time...endure a little longer | 04:55 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: you have no pae problem | 04:56 |
| lotuspsychje | HypnotiX_: i had to wait 5min or longer to see that step on 'some' machines | 04:56 |
| sco_ | wilee-nilee , those solutions just say to use network manager to set up the connection , i have tried this quite a few times but still it wont connect | 04:56 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: if you have bad iso's and you try and use them, you will see errors.. like the one your friend gave that made me think you had a pae issue | 04:56 |
| HeyM-Cld | The problem that the disk thinks I don't have pae | 04:56 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: if you sums dont match, you dont have the iso | 04:56 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: no.. the disks dont "think", friend.. they are not the right data | 04:57 |
| HeyM-Cld | All 3 iso's had the same error | 04:57 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: right.. and the sums were likely bad,. if you didnt test them.. you have shared 2 bad ones with me so far | 04:57 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: test them.. and see | 04:57 |
| wilee-nilee | sco_, Yeah, honestly I would get one that plugged and worked, many cheap ones out there, lifes to short to have to mess with getting connected, at least for me. ;) | 04:57 |
| sco_ | wilee-nilee http://freetexthost.com/cbq5pdbl2y i cant make sense of this | 04:57 |

| helmut_ | hi | 05:06 |
| molavy | is there merge folders what is like in windows when i copy files in winows when ask to merge folders and then ask to replace exist files with same name when i copy | 05:07 |
| molavy | i want do it in shell | 05:07 |
| molavy | there are some files with same name | 05:09 |
| molavy | i prefer target files to replace in my current project | 05:10 |
| molavy | something like merge two folder in windows that ask replace same file names | 05:10 |
| somsip | molavy: map cp. There is an 'prompt for overwrite' setting | 05:10 |
| somsip | *man cp | 05:10 |
| psy^ | cp with -r for recursive and -i to prompt to overwrite | 05:10 |
| molavy | it replace folders but i want merge folders | 05:10 |
| HeyM-Cld | holstein: I've downloaded lubuntu 12.04 iso and checked the md5sum and it matched | 05:11 |

| lotuspsychje | HypnotiX_: thats long indeed, but i know some systems might lag a long time on this step | 05:13 |
| HypnotiX_ | i have a very good pc | 05:13 |
| HypnotiX_ | it didnt lag at all last time i installed ubuntu | 05:13 |
| lotuspsychje | HypnotiX_: its more a hd scanning issue i think | 05:14 |
| HypnotiX_ | yeah i think so too | 05:14 |
| lotuspsychje | HypnotiX_: it wants to know what your previous layout is etc | 05:14 |
| HypnotiX_ | so is there any way to erase my hdd from the terminal ? | 05:14 |
| psy^ | can vnc sessions use different xsession configs? my autostart apps keep getting duplicated | 05:15 |
| lotuspsychje | HypnotiX_: i would maybe delete windows partitions | 05:15 |
| lotuspsychje | HypnotiX_: maybe try ext4 extend to the max with gparted | 05:16 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: not before you burn it.. | 05:16 |
| lotuspsychje | HypnotiX_: then retry your ubuntu install | 05:16 |
| HeyM-Cld | holstein: Positive? | 05:16 |
| HypnotiX_ | gparted wont show me the partitions either lotuspsychje | 05:16 |
| HypnotiX_ | hangs the same as the installer | 05:16 |
| lotuspsychje | HypnotiX_: hmm sounds very like a malfunctioning hd | 05:16 |
| HypnotiX_ | so how do i wipe it clean | 05:17 |
| HypnotiX_ | i need to get a list of the partitions first | 05:17 |
| lotuspsychje | HypnotiX_: freeze at recovery, freeze at install, freeze at previous kernel,... | 05:17 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: im not able to guarantee you *anything*, friend.. | 05:17 |
| lotuspsychje | HypnotiX_: what hd brand is this? | 05:17 |
| HypnotiX_ | western digital | 05:18 |
| holstein | HeyM-Cld: you checked the sums.. you burn it they are good.. then, test it out | 05:18 |

| chamunks | I want to use cat to inject some lines into the crontab | 06:21 |
| chamunks | I've seen lots of reccomendations against editing the crontab directly and everyone suggests using crontab -e | 06:22 |
| chamunks | what can I do here? | 06:22 |
| chamunks | I have deployment scripts that I want to write and I cant do that by throwing things into an editor can I? | 06:22 |
| somsip | chamunks: crontab -l | cat amendments.txt | crontab - | 06:22 |
| chamunks | smashing! | 06:23 |
| somsip | chamunks: I use a start comment and end comment and replace everything between as part of deployment, eg: | 06:23 |
| lightning0 | that is crontab? | 06:23 |

| somsip | shuduo: if you can grab the bits out of that which might help | 06:24 |

| grahamsavage__ | i'm having a lot of issue with google chrome | 06:43 |
| grahamsavage__ | it seems very sluggish | 06:43 |
| grahamsavage__ | every time i change tabs, the page is white for a few seconds before it paints it | 06:44 |
| James0r2 | woo: yeah. | 06:44 |
| James0r2 | woo: installing via apt-get | 06:44 |
| woo | James0r2: been there eventually had to reinstall without add's | 06:44 |
| James0r2 | woo: add's? | 06:44 |
| woo | James0r2: additional software disabled | 06:44 |
| woo | James0r2: its a hardware recognition thing. Ubuntu works on the flash drive still? | 06:45 |
| James0r2 | woo: well the app i was installing was unrelated or so i think. it was dropbox. | 06:45 |
| lightning0 | May i ask what would the best way to set up and partition a single harddrive in a laptop for ubuntu use only. what factors should i be aware of and how can i stop problems from occurring further down the road? | 06:46 |
| James0r2 | woo: i havn't tried but i'm pretty sure since everything was recognized and working yesterday | 06:46 |
| psy^ | single ext4 partition, imho | 06:46 |
| James0r2 | i havn't tried a live usb, i'm just assuming this is a software issue because of the turn of events | 06:46 |
| psy^ | you can use gparted at a later stage if you need to shrink and create additional partitions | 06:47 |
| woo | James0r2: you can switch back old drivers | 06:47 |
| lightning0 | Ive seen people mount their home folder why would you do that? | 06:47 |
| woo | !version | 06:47 |
| ubottu | To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 06:47 |
| James0r2 | i'm using KDE, and after i rebooted it asked me if i wanted to 'permenently forget about the audio devices'. stupidly i thought it was talking about how i chose to remove pulseaudio a week ago | 06:47 |
| lightning0 | and swap space? | 06:47 |
| James0r2 | and clicked yes | 06:47 |
| James0r2 | naw no sound, no alsamixer, no audio devices | 06:48 |
| James0r2 | woo: how do i do that? | 06:48 |
| psy^ | lightning0: home folder on seperate partition is for convenience i guess, if at a later stage they want to nuke their install and try a new distro | 06:48 |
| woo | James0r2: can't remember exactly im looking at some configs | 06:49 |
| James0r2 | woo: cool thx | 06:50 |
| lightning0 | how much room do i leave for the operating system if i mount my home folder? and do i need swap space if I have 6gigs of ram. | 06:52 |
| woo | James0r2: has something to do with the update manager | 06:53 |
| opalepatrick | when mysql is started, my desktop CPU goes to 100% and the memory usage shoots up to nearly 100% (I have to stop service) on ubuntu 13.04 64bit with 8gb memory. | 06:53 |

| lightning0 | help formating hard drive: how much room do i leave for the operating system if i mount my home folder? and do i need swap space if I have 6gigs of ram. | 06:54 |
| psy^ | sounds literally like the gz archive doesn't contain a tar | 06:55 |
| woo | lightning0: what will you be using swap for on linux? steam? | 06:55 |
| psy^ | o nvm | 06:55 |
| === psy^ is now known as psy^away | ||
| lightning0 | woo: what is steam? | 06:55 |
| woo | lightning0: a entertainment system platform | 06:56 |
| lightning0 | woo: So that involve streaming hd movies and stuff | 06:56 |
| woo | lightning0: think video games | 06:57 |
| woo | lightning0: swap is nice for heavy buffering | 06:57 |
| James0r2 | woo: reverting to old drivers? | 06:57 |
| James0r2 | woo: using the update manager? | 06:58 |
| lightning0 | woo: how much swap would yyou recomend? | 06:58 |
| woo | James0r2: yea thats where Im at update- | 06:58 |
| anonee | psy^ the files are named bk_100.tar.gz, if I double click they can be opened with archive manager, and I can extract them one by one but this is gonna take time | 06:58 |
| woo | James0r2: I looked in some other system files and it landed me in there | 06:58 |
| James0r2 | woo: oh i'm using Linux Mint. maybe not the same | 06:58 |
| woo | :o | 06:59 |
| auronandace | James0r2: mint isn't supported here | 06:59 |
| woo | ;) | 06:59 |
| James0r2 | oh really my bad | 06:59 |
| James0r2 | i thought it would be because it was ubuntu based | 06:59 |
| woo | James0r2: deb's are used | 06:59 |
| woo | deb and ian but thats more for ot | 07:00 |
| James0r2 | woo: gotcha. i think this is a KDE issue anyway. i'll hit the forums. thx anyways | 07:00 |
| woo | James0r2: good luck | 07:00 |

| lightning0 | woo: how many gigs should i leave for my \ and should i put the rest of the partition in \home? | 07:01 |
| woo | lightning0: swap um its best to let disk managers set it up | 07:01 |
| woo | lightning0: at best I would use !gparted | 07:02 |
| anonee | anybody can help me with this? trying to batch extract .tar.gz files using tar -xvzf and I'm getting this error: tar: filename.tar.gz: Not found in archive | 07:02 |

| whizken | any programs on ubuntu to develop flash games? | 07:03 |
| auronandace | lightning0: swap is only really necessary if you want to hibernate (your 6gb of ram is plenty for most other things) | 07:05 |
| woo | lightning0: swap on ssd is smaller normally. if you are just looking for use ablilty I would mess around with some mkfs files and look up fdisk | 07:05 |

| Elf_ | 1.3Ghz Celeron and 1GB Ram. | 09:14 |
| cfhowlett | Elf_, lubuntu or xubuntu ... | 09:14 |
| blazemore | Elf_: I'd personally recommend lubuntu, or an even more lightweight (but not Ubuntu-based) distro like Crunchbang | 09:15 |
| aeon-ltd | Elf_: celeron from which generation or year purchased? | 09:15 |
| Elf_ | Celly 430 apparantly - as for distro I have no preference (its for a relative) as long as it has some kinda of photo album thing, can surf the net, and has a music library/ | 09:16 |
| blazemore | Elf_: If it's for a relative, then definitely Lubuntu | 09:16 |
| aeon-ltd | Elf_: hell that's irrelevant, i'm with cfhowlett+blazemore. xubuntu or lubuntu for the smoothest experience. with a gpu then you could run ubuntu + unity smootly | 09:16 |
| Elf_ | What about a photo album program/music library program with that. (My experience with linux is pretty much server only) | 09:17 |
| Luyin | Elf_: there are lists of applications on the web;) | 09:18 |
| aeon-ltd | Elf_: once you get xubuntu or lubuntu installed you're just gonna have to find one a try them yourself | 09:18 |
| Elf_ | Ye; was just if you recommend a particular one | 09:19 |
| cfhowlett | Elf_, look in the software center. photo apps are rated | 09:20 |
| Elf_ | Ahh kk (as i said use server with commandline only) | 09:20 |
| cfhowlett | Elf_, sorry. missed that | 09:20 |
| aeon-ltd | Elf_: music program, i personally like rhythmbox for gui, mpd+ncmpcpp for cli | 09:21 |
| cfhowlett | Elf_, shotwell is pretty well regarded | 09:21 |

| vlitomsk | Hello | 09:32 |
| convoi | hi vlitomsk | 09:32 |
| vlitomsk | I'm configuring kernel sources, and question is: do i need NUMA support for multi-core processor ? | 09:32 |
| Moony22 | why does not "pulseaudio -vvv | grep permission" work? | 09:32 |
| vlitomsk | Does anyone know? | 09:33 |
| blazemore | Moony22: Are you trying to get an error message? Error messages are sent to stderr, and pipe only sends stdout by default | 09:33 |
| blazemore | Moony22: Look here for how to pipe stderr http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2342826/how-to-pipe-stderr-and-not-stdout | 09:33 |
| Moony22 | blazemore, but I mean when running that command | 09:33 |
| Moony22 | the whole thing comes up | 09:34 |
| blazemore | Moony22: Right, that's because it's printing to stderr | 09:34 |
| blazemore | Moony22: Look here for how to pipe stderr http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2342826/how-to-pipe-stderr-and-not-stdout | 09:34 |
| Moony22 | so like "pulseaudio -vvv>&1 >/dev/null | grep permission"? | 09:35 |
| blazemore | yes Moony22 | 09:35 |
| Moony22 | Does not work | 09:35 |
| Moony22 | it shows the whole output again | 09:35 |
| blazemore | Moony22: Read the answer | 09:36 |
| blazemore | Moony22: I'll just tell you it... pulseaudio -vvv 2>&1 >/dev/null | grep permission | 09:36 |
| vmachine | i have a slow mouse issue on my ubuntu/linuxmint desktop everytime i boot i have to put this command in xset m 3 3 but then the mouse goes back to being slow after reboot | 09:36 |

| blazemore | vmachine: You can run it at startup by putting it in the startup applications | 09:37 |
| Moony22 | oh thank you I thought the answer was saying naming "command 2" as a command | 09:37 |

| blazemore | nl287: 12.04 is supported on the desktop. There are reasons to use later versions, but we DO support 12.04 in here. | 10:38 |
| blazemore | Cira_: sudo dpkg --configure -a | 10:38 |
| auronandace | nl287: depends on hardware and requirements, lts is just fine for desktop (hence why its supported for so long) | 10:39 |
| ikonia | !info libglib2.0-dev | 10:39 |
| ubottu | libglib2.0-dev (source: glib2.0): Development files for the GLib library. In component main, is optional. Version 2.36.0-1ubuntu2 (raring), package size 1198 kB, installed size 7482 kB | 10:39 |
| === jack is now known as Guest87030 | ||
| Cira_ | blazemore: ok, I did that, -f install and install gliblib2.0-dev still do the same thing | 10:39 |
| fudus | is one of your mirrors down? it is in main so it should work | 10:40 |
| ikonia | why would it be a mirror problem | 10:40 |
| blazemore | fudus: He already ran apt-get update without error | 10:40 |
| ikonia | it's reporting the right versions | 10:40 |
| ikonia | the version it wants to install is older than the version in the repo | 10:40 |
| ikonia | as if the cache is out of date | 10:41 |
| ikonia | I would clear your apt cache, re-update and re-try the install | 10:41 |
| blazemore | Cira_: wget rory.sh/fixpackages; sh fixpackages | 10:41 |
| blazemore | that will do for you what ikonia just said | 10:41 |
| Cira_ | rory.sh/fixpackages 404's on me | 10:42 |
| runing_froger_ | hello, is it possible to scroll screen using rdesktop? something like viewport options to scroll screen if I dont have access to whole destkop? | 10:42 |
| hdd3 | i have a problem with my ext. hd, it is suddenly not shown anymore by fdisk -l, cant mount it, dmesg is showing sth. like [ 4345.144030] usb 4-2: device not accepting address 29, error -71 [ 4345.144055] hub 4-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 2, winows 7 is showing error code 43: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) | 10:42 |
| blazemore | sorry Cira_ try again :3 | 10:42 |
| hdd3 | someone here has suggested usbmon as a last resort, can anybody help? | 10:43 |
| burg | hello. wasn't ubuntu 12.04.3 supposed to be launched yesterday? | 10:43 |
| blazemore | Cira_: Expect it to hang for a while with no output | 10:44 |
| Cira_ | blazemore: the console hangs, for a while now :/ | 10:44 |
| blazemore | :) | 10:44 |
| Cira_ | ok | 10:44 |
| Cira_ | :) | 10:44 |
| runing_froger_ | I mean when I connect with other computer from ubuntu to windows like this : rdesktop -g1920x1080 hostname and I dont have access to whole remote desktop. Is it possible to scroll the screen somehow? | 10:44 |
| Luyin | runing_froger_: have you tried a smaller resolution? | 10:45 |
| runing_froger_ | I cannot try smaller resolutions the problems must be resolved with this resolutions | 10:45 |
| runing_froger_ | Im thinking that maybe I can use programs like Xnest | 10:45 |
| runing_froger_ | I create Xnest window on lets say display 2 (Xnest :2) | 10:46 |
| Cira_ | blazemore: so the hang was due to the backing up and removing of the cache, I gather? | 10:46 |
| runing_froger_ | than Im calling rdesktop on display 2, so I got rdesktop session inside my xnest session | 10:47 |
| blazemore | Yeah it copies your cache to a backup folder | 10:47 |
| SuperLag | If you install $APP and it creates it's own menu category, how do you get that whole menu and it's items to be found as a submenu under one of the existing options? I installed the Tizen SDK, and I'd like it to be found under Development, rather than making its own menu at the top level. See the screenshot at http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-08232013-034610am.php for context. | 10:47 |
| runing_froger_ | maybe using xnest or something like that I can get access to functions like viewport to scroll the screen | 10:47 |
| Cira_ | blazemore: now, unlike the last time I did the update it is upgrading those 3 packages | 10:47 |
| daftykins | hdd3: is it a drive within an enclosure, or a retail product (i.e. can you remove the drive from inside it?) | 10:47 |
| runing_froger_ | any ideas? | 10:47 |
| hdd3 | daftykins, nope, i cant open the case of the hdd, its a "one piece" disc | 10:48 |
| daftykins | hdd3: it's definitely spinning up ok? | 10:48 |
| blazemore | hdd3: Forgive me, but have you tried a different USB cable just to rule that out? | 10:48 |
| hdd3 | daftykins, it makes the usual soinds, but it is not recognized, blazemore, yes i did i might do that again though | 10:49 |
| Luyin | SuperLag: edit the tizen sdk's *.desktop. change "Categories=*" to "Categories=development". not sure if it's case-sensitive, though | 10:50 |
| daftykins | hdd3: i'd listen for clicks coming from it too | 10:50 |
| daftykins | hdd3: or any repetitive mechanical sounds | 10:50 |
| Cira_ | blazemore: thanks for the help... hopefully things should work after the restart | 10:51 |
| Quest | is there a reall working no buggy software to record desktop screen and / or audio by mic? | 10:52 |
| hdd3 | daftykins, yes it clicks when i put it on after putting it of, it really is the usual sounds it alsways made | 10:52 |
| hdd3 | daftykins, blazemore: and i tired this 1 already: http://paulphilippov.com/articles/how-to-fix-device-not-accepting-address-error | 10:54 |
| blazemore | hdd3: It might just be bad luck, if it's stopped working in other systems too. Your best bet would be to rip the drive apart, put the drive into a different enclosure and see if you can get data off | 10:54 |
| hdd3 | blazemore, have u ever done this? i mean i dont even have another enclosure | 10:56 |
| hdd3 | can anyone help, would usbmon be worth a try??? | 11:00 |
| dry[1] | hi. is there any way to get motherboard temperature readings from bios on terminal? lm-sensors doesn't detect my external temperature sensor, but bios does it. | 11:00 |
| blazemore | dry[1]: run sudo sensors-detect | 11:00 |
| Johnny_Linux | you may want to install lm-sensors first | 11:01 |
| Johnny_Linux | yes to all | 11:02 |
| === rpadovani is now known as WebbyIT | ||
| SuperLag | Luyin: What that did was simply copy the entries under the "Tizen SDK" menu and put them under Development. The original "Tizen SDK" menu exists at the top level, and all of the child menu options are still there. | 11:05 |
| hdd3 | will data saving tools do anything for the hd although the drive is not recognized? | 11:05 |
| blazemore | hdd3: It's unlikely, since you're getting USB errors, but you could look at Testdisk | 11:05 |
| Luyin | SuperLag: then remove the .desktop entry for the original tizen sdk menu and everything should be fine. | 11:05 |
| * blazemore is going on lunch now, back in an hour | 11:05 | |
| BrunoPT | hdd3 if it's not recognized in Bios you cant do nothing | 11:06 |
| SuperLag | hdd3: take it to a professional | 11:06 |
| hdd3 | BrunoTP, how do I see it in the bios? | 11:07 |
| hdd3 | SuperLag, thanks, i will consider that | 11:07 |
| SuperLag | hdd3: no backup of that data? | 11:08 |
| magdur | guys are there alternative for itunes on ubuntu ? | 11:08 |
| hdd3 | SuperLag, unfortunatley no :( 800gb | 11:08 |
| SuperLag | hdd3: 800GB of data, and no backup? o.O | 11:09 |
| honestly | magdur: not really. you can use banshee to sync (some?) ipods | 11:09 |
| honestly | I'd recommend just abandoning anything apple | 11:09 |
| honestly | and not looking back | 11:09 |
| SuperLag | Or just go all Apple. | 11:09 |
| magdur | <honestly> no actually i want to use itunes u | 11:09 |
| SuperLag | it's all or nothing, really | 11:09 |
| Cira | blazemore: no joy... same dependency isues :/ | 11:09 |
| honestly | magdur: in this case you can't have your pie and eat it too | 11:10 |
| SuperLag | magdur: You can access MIT OpenCourseware and other such offerings external to iTunes. | 11:10 |
| Freeder | Is there a way, when using useradd with -m, to create a homedir that is totally blank, as opposed to having .profile, .bashrc, the desktop graphic, etc, created automatically? | 11:11 |
| magdur | <SuperLag> yes i know it but i want to acces with ubuntu | 11:12 |
| SuperLag | magdur: you can... use your web browser | 11:14 |

| apb1963_ | so ever since adding dmlight my system has been hosed. | 11:27 |
| apb1963_ | Any last thoughts before I reinstall the whole thing? | 11:27 |
| MonkeyDust | apb1963_ dmlight is not in the repos, what is it? | 11:28 |
| sdaob-morte | Alguien habla español? | 11:28 |
| apb1963_ | some kind of desktop thingy | 11:29 |
| MonkeyDust | !es | 11:29 |
| ubottu | En la mayorÃa de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 11:29 |
| apb1963_ | I was had installed unity, didn't like it... somebody recommended replacing it with this thing. | 11:30 |
| apb1963_ | s/was// | 11:30 |
| apb1963_ | apparently it doesn't work with my ATI radeon card | 11:30 |
| daftykins | apb1963_: why don't you just remove it? | 11:31 |
| apb1963_ | tried removing it... didn't help | 11:31 |
| apb1963_ | it hosed my screen... couldn't use anything but CLI - and only one command at a time before I had to switch virtual terminals and back again to clear it for the next command. | 11:32 |
| apb1963_ | So I removed it... which didn't help... and decided to reboot | 11:32 |
| apb1963_ | saw it come up in the bootup sequence | 11:32 |
| linux|newb | how did you remove it? | 11:32 |
| apb1963_ | oh and I couldn't even stop it with a service dmlight stop | 11:32 |
| apb1963_ | complained about an instance of something or other | 11:32 |
| apb1963_ | apt-get remove dmlight | 11:33 |
| apb1963_ | which is how I installed (using install instead of remove of course) | 11:33 |
| MonkeyDust | apb1963_ reinstall would be the fastest/easiest/cleanest way, i guess | 11:33 |
| apb1963_ | `12.04 server | 11:33 |
| apb1963_ | well, I do have a recovery USB stick | 11:34 |
| MonkeyDust | apb1963_ a server with a GUI? | 11:34 |
| apb1963_ | meh, I needed to install it to use wireshark | 11:34 |
| apb1963_ | figured I'd just either shutdown the gui or remove it later | 11:34 |
| linux|newb | so confused... | 11:34 |
| linux|newb | nevermind... we digress. reinstall is a bit drastic for a server | 11:35 |
| linux|newb | has it been in production long? | 11:35 |

| apb1963_ | as I said... I replaced it with a fresh one when I first installed it 2 weeks ago... even less than that. | 11:39 |
| thepeopleschamp | i already have ready for the calibration | 11:39 |
| Blackwizard_ | I have a problem with my ubuntu 12.04.... after installing cinnamon on my ubuntu 12.04 when I using gnome shell, at startup desktop icons are hidden... as soon as open home folder icons become visible.... | 11:39 |

| apb1963_ | that'll help isolate | 11:41 |
| thepeopleschamp | if i got help on this id be happy | 11:41 |
| Blackwizard_ | any hint??? | 11:41 |
| linux|newb | apb1963: just to clarify, dmlight is a window manager? | 11:41 |

| Blackwizard_ | is there anybody to help me?! | 11:41 |
| thepeopleschamp | yea, it is not there | 11:41 |
| thepeopleschamp | not after showin hidden files either | 11:41 |

| apb1963_ | linuxjnewb: no. At this point I can't. I believe I'm currently in single user mode (guessing) since I booted from a rescue cd (usb stick) | 12:02 |
| usr13 | apb1963_: Are you saying that you installed lightdm and now it won't boot? Is that it? | 12:02 |
| apb1963_ | I installed lightdm. It hosed my screen. I removed it. It made no difference. I rebooted. The reboot failed. | 12:03 |
| apb1963_ | So I plugged in the USB rescue CD stick. and booted off that. | 12:03 |

| apb1963_ | yes | 12:03 |

| stobix | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6017560 | 12:38 |
| adamk_ | stobix, Your problem has nothing to do with the system trying to load the wrong driver... Your GPU is locking up and the kernel driver is unable to reset it successfully. | 12:40 |
| DamienCassou | hi | 12:40 |
| stobix | adamk_: oh. Hm. I wonder what it was in the upgrade that made it do that... | 12:41 |
| adamk_ | stobix, Quite likely just a bug in the driver. Make sure you are using the latest kernel. If you are, see if it works with a slightly older kernel. You can also ask on #radeon. One of the driver developers might have some idea what's going on | 12:42 |
| usr13 | stobix: 13.04? | 12:42 |
| stobix | downgrading the kernel seems like a good idea, yes. | 12:42 |

| neetz | * | 13:19 |
| ikonia | no | 13:19 |
| ikonia | it's part of the standard xorg package | 13:19 |
| adamk_ | Bumblebee should never be required to get Xorg working... Without it installed, Xorg should use the intel driver... Heck, even with Bumblebee installed, Xorg should use the intel driver for all 2D functionality. | 13:20 |
| neetz | how do i enable it ? | 13:20 |
| ikonia | neetz: there should be a safe graphics mode in recover mode, or you can hardcode vesa into your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file | 13:20 |

| ladylee | 5 mins ago it was 1hr some minutes now its 2hrs and 20 mins | 13:47 |
| bean__ | ladylee: it could be variable, depending on how much processor you're using, etc | 13:48 |
| ladylee | in 5mins? | 13:48 |
| tttt | f | 13:48 |
| ladylee | bean it took 5 mins to vary from 2hrs to 1hrs :S | 13:49 |
| iceroot_ | bean__: its calculating the CURRENT powerusage and then will calculate how much you will still have with the same power usage | 13:49 |
| bean__ | right, iceroot_ | 13:50 |
| ladylee | like im just using IRC. :S | 13:50 |
| iceroot_ | bean__: so if you have the system heavy under fire it will calculate maybe 1 hour, when you now switch so light work, the system will calculate something different | 13:50 |
| ladylee | and according to this the calculator thinks i have 2hrs and some minutes? | 13:50 |

| ladylee | yes im reading those :D | 13:50 |
| ladylee | should i name myself LADYBEAN? | 13:51 |
| ladylee | :P | 13:51 |
| iceroot_ | ladylee: and the worst thing is when your bios is using propitary stuff to offer battery information, then the system can only guess | 13:51 |
| ladylee | can i have an alternative app? | 13:51 |
| iceroot_ | ladylee: so you will have a different view in windows and GNU/Linux | 13:51 |
| alphix | lol | 13:51 |
| iceroot_ | ladylee: there is normally only one way to ask the battery, ACPI | 13:52 |
| ladylee | how to do that? | 13:52 |
| iceroot_ | ladylee: and when that is not using standards you may face differences | 13:52 |
| iceroot_ | ladylee: you dont have to do that, the system itself is doing that | 13:52 |
| ladylee | okay so no app:S | 13:52 |
| tttt | :quit | 13:52 |
| ladylee | just the reliable source :S | 13:52 |
| tharkun | ladylee: remaining battery is not an exact science. It has a high correlation with cpu load and screen brightness. | 13:52 |
| iceroot_ | ladylee: there are "apps" which reads the ACPI information | 13:52 |
| ladylee | suggest a good one please | 13:53 |
| iceroot_ | ladylee: like the default one from gnome/unity | 13:53 |
| tharkun | ladylee: acpi -V from a shell should give you a fair hint | 13:53 |
| xtalmath | is this the developer channel or just the users channel? | 13:54 |
| ladylee | do u know of an app that detects system heat? | 13:54 |
| iceroot_ | ladylee: sensorsd | 13:54 |
| iceroot_ | ladylee: sensord | 13:54 |
| xtalmath | ladylee: it is system temperature | 13:54 |
| iceroot_ | xtalmath: its the support channel | 13:54 |
| xtalmath | then why is openjdk not properly supported? | 13:55 |
| iceroot_ | xtalmath: #ubuntu-dev #ubuntu-devel or something like that, cant remember | 13:55 |

| InfoBeyond | ubuntu-12.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso | 13:56 |
| InfoBeyond | That is the one i downloaded | 13:56 |
| iceroot_ | InfoBeyond: you can use it also on servers of course but normally servers dont use a gui | 13:56 |
| iceroot_ | !server | InfoBeyond | 13:57 |
| ubottu | InfoBeyond: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI.

| iceroot_ | there is no server specific kernel anymore, factoid should be changed | 13:57 |
| InfoBeyond | ok. I just wanted to start using ubuntu. have no experience with linux before. So I will try it out with the desktop version with gui | 13:58 |
| InfoBeyond | Thanks for the info | 13:58 |
| iceroot_ | InfoBeyond: just a personal note, if you dont have experience with GNU/Linux, dont host a public reachable server | 13:58 |
| iceroot_ | InfoBeyond: normally it will end up in open spam relays, warez-server and so on | 13:59 |
| InfoBeyond | Sure. Its just for learning and testing | 13:59 |
| iceroot_ | InfoBeyond: ok | 13:59 |
| MonkeyDust | and warez-servers attract listalians | 13:59 |
| iceroot_ | InfoBeyond: then the version you downloaded is a good way to start | 13:59 |

| sasi | lsbrelease. gives me that | 14:39 |
| burg | is it possible to connect to a wireless network while installing ubuntu server? | 14:39 |
| mojtaba | Hi, I have shrinked my windows partition with gparted, with ubuntu live, and now I have 100 G unallocated partition. | 14:39 |
| mojtaba | Could you please let me know how can I add it to my /home? | 14:40 |
| mitchell_ | how do I install the patch supplied for all debian based linux users running vmware workstation 9? | 14:40 |
| mojtaba | Because I could not see any option in gparted. | 14:40 |
| pepper_chico | sad thing, at ubuntu with unity I can't get auto-hide working nice, I mean, by auto-hiding when the mouse gets close the corner… while at elementary OS, auto-hiding the Dock just works (note: both being a parallels vm http://bit.ly/1d933Pu) | 14:40 |
| sasi | mmmm? | 14:40 |
| nl287 | pepper_chico: try kubuntu. much better then gnome | 14:40 |
| vishwaprotim | ??? | 14:41 |
| MonkeyDust | pepper_chico that is: if you like it more | 14:41 |
| pepper_chico | nl287, I accept unity…. just liked that fixed | 14:42 |
| sasi | you there? blazemore | 14:42 |
| blazemore | sasi: Sorry I am here but I'm at work, and I just need to do something | 14:42 |
| sasi | ok sorrry | 14:42 |
| sasi | anyone else have an idea? | 14:43 |
| mojtaba | Hi, I have shrunken my windows partition with gparted, with ubuntu live, and now I have 100 G unallocated partition. Could you please let me know how can I add it to my /home? Because I could not see any option in gparted. | 14:43 |
| compdoc | mojtaba, you sucessfully dual boot? | 14:44 |
| vishwaprotim | hey...pls answer me... | 14:44 |
| blazemore | mojtaba: You need to create a new partition formatted as ext4, and mount it as /home | 14:44 |
| mojtaba | compdoc: What do you mean? I had windows before, and now I have shrinked it. | 14:44 |
| blazemore | mojtaba: You also need to copy all the files that are already in /home to the new partition | 14:44 |
| aluminum_ | hey, just out of curiosity, does anyone know how to completely reset every random setting you have changed in irssi? I have accidentall-ied auto identified as myself twice, and thus am locked out of my actual account. :p | 14:44 |
| vishwaprotim | Is it necessary to backup my home folder before I upgrade ubuntu? | 14:45 |
| justinfrontOA | Hi how do I write the script for autokey so that <ctrl>+c does a copy like on a mac or win? | 14:45 |
| mojtaba | blazemore: I have /home partition now | 14:45 |
| blazemore | vishwaprotim: It's not necessary but it's recommended | 14:45 |
| mojtaba | blazemore: I want to extend my /home parttition | 14:45 |
| blazemore | mojtaba: You can only expand partitions into free space | 14:45 |
| universe2014 | mojtaba: you could make an extra partion . however you can exten the home if the free space is touching the current home partition | 14:45 |
| vishwaprotim | oh...well and if I move entire contents of my home folder to another partition, then I guess no worry..isnt it? | 14:45 |
| mojtaba | blazemore: universe2014: Could you please let me know how can I do that? It says you can not have more than four partition. | 14:46 |
| blazemore | vishwaprotim: I'd personally recommend you maintain a backup which is physically separate from your computer | 14:46 |
| vishwaprotim | oh.... | 14:46 |
| vishwaprotim | thankx | 14:47 |
| vishwaprotim | another thing | 14:47 |
| blazemore | mojtaba: If you're trying to create partitions, you can't have more than four primary partitions. You need to use logical partitions or LVM | 14:47 |

| convoi | blazemore, thank for keepassx | 14:52 |
| blazemore | nl287: If you're going to help, please be helpful. Saying bluetooth works for you, when you have completely different hardware from someone else is not helpful | 14:52 |
| === Guest5471 is now known as jan1337zZz | ||

| vishwaprotim | okay then.. | 14:52 |
| vishwaprotim | I need some help about partition | 14:53 |
| magdur | "bu video şu anda kullanılamıyor"i take this error frequently | 14:53 |
| vishwaprotim | can I make partions after installing ubuntu, without losing any data? | 14:53 |
| MonkeyDust | magdur looks turkish | 14:53 |
| blazemore | magdur: What does that mean in English, roughly? | 14:53 |
| blazemore | vishwaprotim: Yes but the fact you have to ask that means you're probably not confident with partitions, so please back up anything important first | 14:54 |
| magdur | <MonkeyDust> <blazemore> like "this video cant play now" | 14:54 |
| blazemore | magdur: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 14:54 |
| blazemore | magdur: What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 14:54 |
| justinfrontOA | mmm does no one use autokey I get the impression that it's not a good place for beginners to ask questions. | 14:54 |
| vishwaprotim | exactly, m not confident at all | 14:54 |
| blazemore | !info autokey | 14:55 |
| ubottu | Package autokey does not exist in raring | 14:55 |
| blazemore | we don't support that here justinfrontOA | 14:55 |
| nl287 | vishwaprotim: it's very simple but if you delete or resize partition there some propability losing data | 14:55 |
| fossjon | whats a raring? | 14:55 |
| blazemore | my mistake we do | 14:55 |
| blazemore | !info autokey-gtk | 14:55 |
| ubottu | autokey-gtk (source: autokey): desktop automation utility - GTK+ version. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.90.1-1.1 (raring), package size 40 kB, installed size 364 kB | 14:55 |
| smartboyhw | fossjon: Ubuntu 13.04 | 14:55 |
| magdur | <blazemore> ubuntu 12.04 | 14:55 |
| smartboyhw | Codenamed Raring | 14:55 |
| fossjon | oh | 14:55 |
| vishwaprotim | and though linux uses a very refined file structure [unlike windows where we have to keep C drive as empty as possible, hence we better partition] , do I really need partiton in linux [ubuntu] ? | 14:55 |
| blazemore | vishwaprotim: It's up to you if you want a separate /home partition | 14:56 |
| BluesKaj | magdur, or make sure you have ubuntu-restricted -extras installed | 14:56 |
| blazemore | vishwaprotim: Some people find it fits their workflow better. If you aren't sure, don't bother. Just put everything on one big partition from the very beginning | 14:56 |
| justinfrontOA | ok I am not using ubuntu but a clone but I am maybe setting a ubuntu vm later so the question remains how can I setup so that copy and paste don't require a shift key maybe it's sane to you but for me I am just loosing too much time. | 14:57 |
| blazemore | justinfrontOA: Did you look in the documentation for autokey already? | 14:57 |
| vishwaprotim | oh....and I recently got notifiction from chromium about a java plugin update. I have downloaded a file from their website, it is jre-7u25-linux-x64.tar.gz, how to install it? | 14:57 |
| blazemore | !java | 14:58 |
| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 14:58 |
| tmmunq | dont bother with that, just install the icedtea plugin | 14:58 |
| johndoesz | join #django | 14:58 |
| johndoesz | wtf | 14:58 |
| blazemore | /join #django | 14:58 |
| nl287 | vishwaprotim: ext4 fs is needed becouse of permissions menagement | 14:59 |
| justinfrontOA | I don't care how I get copy and paste to work sensibly it should surely be something easy in unbuntu systems well if you actually want win/mac users using linux? | 14:59 |
| BluesKaj | !patience |justinfrontOA | 14:59 |
| ubottu | justinfrontOA: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ | 14:59 |
| blazemore | justinfrontOA: Globally, ctrl-c is copy and ctrl-v is paste. If another applications has set its own keyboard shortcuts that's something that will need to be set within that application, not in Ubuntu | 15:00 |
| MonkeyDust | justinfrontOA shif-insert pastes also | 15:00 |
| blazemore | justinfrontOA: Also, I know you're trying to get people's backs up to get faster support, but it'll likely have the opposite effect to the desired | 15:00 |
| justinfrontOA | well everywhere it says it's ctrl+shift+c I don't know I try copying links from firefox into a terminal and end up using the mouse which is mad. | 15:01 |
| MonkeyDust | justinfrontOA try ctrl-v or shift-insert to paste | 15:01 |
| saml | hey, after upgrading to 13.04, i can't login | 15:02 |
| saml | i'm in tty1 | 15:02 |
| saml | X is started, i think.. but after typing in my credentials, it just hangs | 15:02 |
| nl287 | vishwaprotim: but u can install everything on one partition, even swap as swapfile | 15:03 |
| vishwaprotim | oh | 15:03 |
| vishwaprotim | well the commands I saw was right through the terminal | 15:03 |
| blazemore | justinfrontOA: ctrl-shift-c and v are used on a terminal, because ctrl-c has a special meaning in a terminal | 15:03 |
| vishwaprotim | though these are quite easy, I want to know a way to install the binary file.... | 15:04 |
| vishwaprotim | for java | 15:04 |
| blazemore | vishwaprotim: you want the version of Java from Oracle? | 15:04 |
| hammond | hi | 15:05 |
| blazemore | vishwaprotim: I use this http://www.webupd8.org/2012/09/install-oracle-java-8-in-ubuntu-via-ppa.html | 15:05 |
| vishwaprotim | yeah.... | 15:05 |
| blazemore | vishwaprotim: That has the added benefit of automatically keeping you updated through the package maneger as new upstream versions of Java are released | 15:05 |
| vishwaprotim | thankx | 15:06 |
| stobix_ | gah, what it is with ubuntu and holding hands‽ Nono, we haven't detected your card, so we won't even let you install the driver. | 15:08 |
| konadr | Am I missing something here with my PCRE, I am trying to replace part of my bashrc (precise) perl -pi -e 's/\\u@\\h:\\w\\$ /\\u@\\H \[\\t\]\$ /' .bashrc | 15:09 |
| MonkeyDust | stobix_ start from the beginning, what are you doing and what goes wrong | 15:09 |
| Stevem737 | Is Linux.Ubuntu any safer on public wifi than windows is because of the filing system? | 15:10 |
| blazemore | Stevem737: Yes but that's not why | 15:10 |
| stobix_ | MonkeyDust: I'm trying to get my wireless network to function on my hp 6735b | 15:10 |
| blazemore | Stevem737: It's because most malware which targets computers connecting to public wifi will target Windows | 15:10 |
| stobix_ | MonkeyDust: (That, and the graphics drivers...) | 15:10 |
| blazemore | Stevem737: It is no safer at protecting you against someone sniffing traffic over an unencrypted connection | 15:10 |
| b0x | hey, can anyone suggest a good app for taking screenshots, but with being able to select specific areas? Similar to SnagIt for windows? | 15:11 |
| b0x | overriding the prtscn button | 15:11 |
| stobix_ | b0x: scrot | 15:11 |
| somsip_ | b0x: scrot | 15:11 |
| blazemore | b0x: shutter | 15:11 |
| Stevem737 | blazemore. assuming the bad guy is not simply looking over your shoulder, it would be very difficlut for him to hack into your system if he only has wondows? | 15:12 |
| somsip_ | b0x: xsnap | 15:12 |
| blazemore | Stevem737: It's very difficult for him to hack into your system if YOU are running a fully-patched Windows anyway | 15:12 |
| blazemore | Stevem737: You are safe from the majority of malware "out there" | 15:12 |
| blazemore | Stevem737: However you should obviously take precautions and not use public wifi for any unencrypted communication | 15:13 |
| Stevem737 | blazemore. OK. thanks. I was curious if Ubuntu would give a little extra safety over windows. | 15:13 |
| Stevem737 | ...all things being equal | 15:13 |
| h00k | Generally, yes | 15:13 |
| blazemore | Stevem737: Yes it will, because of the malware thing. Please don't go running to a public wifi hotspot and then come back complaining at me that someone stole your Facebook account based on my answer though | 15:14 |
| Stevem737 | blazemore: lol. I have no intention of blaming others for my screw ups. thanks again for your help. | 15:15 |
| blarghl | Stevem737: in general it's a good idea to invest in a VPN if you're going to be on unencrypted or public networks. | 15:15 |
| tmmunq | yeah, youre still vulnerable to attacks on cloud or webservices you use, and your network traffic being attacked, mainly because those have nothing to do with choice of OS | 15:15 |
| blarghl | Stevem737: but as the others are saying, password policies are very important. | 15:16 |
| tmmunq | install ubuntu on a home computer and make your own vpn :) or use tor | 15:16 |
| blazemore | Never mind investing in a VPN, just tunnel all your traffic over SSH :) | 15:16 |
| blazemore | vpn is overkill if you just want to do secure web browsing, since openssh can set up a proxy for you automatically over SSH | 15:16 |
| eSoul | Hey guys, I am running an Ubuntu 13.04 server box and I have a 2nd network card for my VirtualBox VMs. Right now, I have to issue a "sudo ifconfig eth1 up" on boot to start the interface but I was wondering if there something something in /etc/network/interfaces I could put in to bring the interface up at boot. It have no network configuration on it at all, just looking to "turn-on" the | 15:17 |
| eSoul | interface | 15:17 |
| Stevem737 | blarghl: I disconnect from the wifi and I tether my cell phone when I start to use passowrds but its not conveient. I was looking for an alternative but I will look into VPN | 15:17 |
| blazemore | Also if you run your ssh server on port 53, most paid-for public wifi hotspots dont look at traffic on this port so you can tunnel all your traffic and browse for free | 15:17 |
| blarghl | Stevem737: actually what blazemore says is good advice - tunnelling over ssh. | 15:17 |
| OmSai | Hi all, I'm trying to install automake, but all the automake packages warn of "not authenticated" packages. Why is this happening? | 15:18 |
| blazemore | OmSai: run "sudo apt-get update" first | 15:18 |
| blarghl | Stevem737, blazemore the trouble is that a shedload of apps you'll be running won't use your SSH tunnel, like chat clients, email, etc, (though email should be encrypted anyway.) | 15:18 |
| Stevem737 | I need to do more research. you're getting a little deep for me at this point | 15:18 |
| OmSai | blazemore: thanks; will do | 15:18 |
| vishwaprotim | hey is there any sophisticated editor for flash [as there is adobe flash cs6 for windows] ? | 15:18 |
| blarghl | Stevem737, blazemore that's why I like VPNs, because all traffic is routed and I don't need to worry. | 15:18 |
| blazemore | OmSai: Then try installing again. If either gives you an error, put it on http://paste.ubuntu.com | 15:18 |
| vishwaprotim | and such kind of movie, sound editors? | 15:18 |
| blazemore | sound editor, the answer is audacity | 15:18 |
| Mace268 | is there a good quality regex tutorial anywhere? | 15:18 |
| stobix_ | MonkeyDust: in more detail: lspci doesn't find my network card. I thought that installing the driver might help. | 15:19 |

| micaelbergeron | fwi, uefi bios are more 'sophisticated' and normally allows you to use your mouse (with icons and stuff) | 17:21 |
| OerHeks | micaelbergeron, i would do so, yes | 17:21 |
| micaelbergeron | OerHeks, isn't it a little bit write-heavy for a SSD? | 17:21 |
| lightning0 | wilee-nilee, What do you mean by w8 and uefi? | 17:21 |
| daftykins | micaelbergeron: only in the case of enthusiast custom builds, more often than not that's not the case for laptops | 17:21 |
| MonkeyDust | Felishia what do you want to chroot? | 17:22 |
| OerHeks | micaelbergeron, ssd's are more reliable now, but you can reduce swapiness and reduce log-time-writing | 17:22 |
| lightning0 | wilee-nilee: Imma noob, sorry. | 17:22 |
| k1l | Felishia: take 10 minutes and read the chroot howto. then (if you are chrooted) you can remove that 0 timeout and make grub-install. | 17:22 |
| daftykins | MonkeyDust: honestly don't, it'll just get worse. | 17:22 |
| micaelbergeron | OerHeks, if you have any documentation about doing that, i'd like to learn about it. | 17:23 |
| Felishia | I want to change the timeout of grub to 5 or something like that as I put 0 and it doesn't show up anymore, so I want to chroot my /dev/sda6 session | 17:23 |
| MonkeyDust | daftykins all right | 17:23 |
| Felishia | I'm stuck in 4 k1l | 17:23 |
| wilee-nilee | lightning0, uefi is the fast boot system from MS and part of the bios and chip set, it has some specifics such as gpt partitioning, and needs specialized installs, if you have this and just try and install you will most likelly have problems, just watching out for you is all. | 17:23 |
| Felishia | it says lucid, shouldn't I put raring? | 17:23 |
| === jack is now known as Guest27749 | ||
| k1l | Felishia: no, that is not what you want | 17:24 |
| lightning0 | OerHeks how big should the swap file be? | 17:24 |
| wilee-nilee | this should be confirmed on any installs the small ssd is a red flag | 17:24 |
| k1l | Felishia: you need the "setting up the chroot" part. | 17:24 |
| Felishia | k1l, I'm confused, I have ubuntu lucid and ubuntu raring, I want lucid to be the default but also to be able to choose raring | 17:24 |
| Felishia | with lucid? | 17:25 |
| lightning0 | OerHeks, The ssd formated is about 18.5 gigs and i have 6 gigs of ram. | 17:25 |
| micaelbergeron | lightning0, from my experience, 1:1 RAM/swap ratio is ALlright | 17:25 |
| Felishia | bash: cd: /etc/schroot: No such file or directory | 17:26 |
| micaelbergeron | lightning0, you could even go with 4GB swap, as 6GB is pretty good, unless you run memory intensive tasks (video encoding, ripping, image manipulation...) | 17:26 |
| lightning0 | micaelbergeron and if i put that on the ssd will there be enough room for the system files? | 17:26 |
| micaelbergeron | lightning0, yes, you will have enough space. | 17:27 |
| OerHeks | micaelbergeron, http://askubuntu.com/questions/103915/how-do-i-configure-swappiness and lots of tuts for reducing log writing, with -noatime > i used the debian howto https://wiki.debian.org/SSDOptimization | 17:27 |
| k1l | Felishia: see this howto: http://karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2010/06/02/how-to-chroot-to-ubuntu-using-live-cd-to-fix-grub-rescue-prompt/ | 17:27 |
| micaelbergeron | OerHeks, thank you sir. | 17:27 |
| lightning0 | micaelbergeron isthere any other mount points i should make? | 17:27 |
| micaelbergeron | lightning0, the rest of the installation is pretty standard. | 17:28 |
| OerHeks | lightning0, let the installer make the size, as it makes the right size of diskspace, ramsize and a few kb's more fore other needed space | 17:28 |
| OerHeks | lightning0, only if you want hybernate, else you are free to change the size | 17:29 |
| fartface | I've got a 12.04 x64 Server, and I'm trying to determine where all of my RAM is going. I have 8gb of RAM, and top is saying that 7195044k is used, and only 155xxxk is free, which is crazy to me as I'm only running SABNZBD+, transmission-daemon, and phpvirtualbox (no VMs running) | 17:29 |
| micaelbergeron | lightning0, which could come handy on a laptop | 17:29 |
| micaelbergeron | fartface, run free -m | 17:29 |
| fartface | If I run top -c, and hit shift-m, the highest %MEM is 0.9 | 17:29 |
| fartface | micaelbergeron: I have, little to no difference. | 17:29 |
| lightning0 | OerHeks, With the ssd i dont care about hybenation. | 17:29 |
| OerHeks | lightning0, oke, then maybe 4 gb is enough | 17:30 |
| lightning0 | So will my system prefrences be on the ssd? | 17:31 |
| fartface | Is there another alternative to top? | 17:31 |
| micaelbergeron | fartface, http://goo.gl/hERzq | 17:31 |
| k1l | fartface: htop? | 17:31 |
| OerHeks | fartface htop, but running sabnzbd and transmisson can suck up your ram, wich is fine | 17:31 |
| fartface | micael: That's saying that it won't use swap, but top is saying that swap is in use. | 17:32 |
| k1l | fartface: reading your real issue is: look at free -m and look at the scond line. and remember: ram is to be used. free ram doesnt help anyone | 17:32 |
| dougl | anyone know how to change the splash screen when 13.04 boots and asks for password... | 17:33 |
| dougl | I have tried changing the image in system settings under login screen and checked /etc/lightdm/lightdm-kde-greeter.conf... | 17:33 |
| Nach0z | very carefully | 17:33 |
| micaelbergeron | fartface, so you are swapping? | 17:33 |
| dougl | but when I get to the login screen the background is blank (white) | 17:33 |
| fartface | k1l: Second line being -/+ buffers/cache? | 17:33 |
| Felishia | now those instructions were understantable | 17:34 |
| k1l | fartface: yes | 17:34 |
| fartface | Ah, then yes, looks like a huge chunk of it is cached. | 17:34 |
| Felishia | I'm chroot now | 17:34 |
| xyz123 | accidentlly deleted /lib : BUT i have a copy of it on another partition, only issue is that ive rebooted and the system won't obviously boot up. :) can i use live cd to restore it? if so how? | 17:34 |
| fartface | So then, nothing to worry about, I don't need to add RAM? | 17:34 |
| k1l | fartface: and that cached stuff is what seeds up your amchine. not free ram | 17:34 |
| xyz123 | fartface: i like your nick hahaha :) | 17:34 |
| ikonia | xyz123: boot the livecd and copy it from the back to the target | 17:34 |
| k1l | *speeds your machine | 17:35 |
| Felishia | I "apparently" fixed the boot... ¬¬ | 17:35 |
| Felishia | hope it works | 17:35 |
| Felishia | halt | 17:35 |
| smaudet | re my first question, nvm I answered it | 17:35 |
| fartface | xyz123: fartfacepoopypants was too long for the server, but it shortened alright, haha | 17:35 |
| xyz123 | ikonia: im on the livecd right now with an open term. how do i access my old drives to copy it back? | 17:35 |
| xyz123 | fartface: lol :) | 17:35 |
| reddeath68 | is anyone having problems with the latest kernel of 13.04 | 17:35 |
| fartface | Cheers for the heads up everyone | 17:35 |
| ikonia | xyz123: you mount the disk | 17:35 |
| k1l | reddeath68: better ask what your real question is | 17:36 |
| fartface | It's a steep learning curve, but I feel more and more comfortable with it every day haha | 17:36 |
| Mike9863 | I am trying to use my Ubuntu server as a proxy. I connected to ssh with the -D parameter to tunnel the connection, and then setup my browser to point its proxy settings to the tunnel. For some reason when I do something in my browser, the page doesn't load and my shell freezes. Once it stops trying to load the page my shell unfreezes. Does anyone know what could cause this? | 17:36 |
| reddeath68 | basicly i updated to latest kernel I was running fine come home today and find my computer bugging out and my caps lock and scroll lock were flashing while my num lock was off, and i restarted the system only to barley load desktop then it switched itself to text console and said something about kernel panic | 17:37 |
| ikonia | Mike9863: possible a name server look up? | 17:37 |
| ikonia | reddeath68: what kernel did you update to ? | 17:38 |
| wilee-nilee | reddeath68, Latest kernel from the repos? | 17:38 |
| Mike9863 | ikonia: On my end or the server? | 17:38 |
| reddeath68 | yes via system update it installed | 17:38 |
| ikonia | Mike9863: a good question, I'm "guessing" the lookup is done on your client, then it sends that data down the tunnel - hence the delay | 17:39 |
| wilee-nilee | reddeath68, notice we use nicks here you can tab complete them. | 17:39 |
| reddeath68 | believe it was 3.8.0.29-generic or something like that | 17:39 |
| ikonia | reddeath68: can you boot the old kernel, see if the problem is still there ? | 17:40 |
| wilee-nilee | reddeath68, try the previous kernel to compare. | 17:40 |
| smaudet | second question still stands, I know how to start pulseaudio, but I'm looking for who starts it ... | 17:40 |
| reddeath68 | i am in the previous kernel with no problems | 17:40 |
| ikonia | reddeath68: ok, so the key things are 1.) get the kernel panic message 2.) consider using kdump to get the kernel dump, if we cant see the problem from the messages, log a bug attaching the kdump | 17:41 |
| xteejx | Hi all | 17:41 |
| Mike9863 | ikonia: I just tried going to 74.125.227.164 (google) in my browser using the tunnel as a proxy and it did end up loading, but only after a very long time. Other IPs I'm trying with aren't working. | 17:42 |
| reddeath68 | ikonia, is kdump a command or what im still learning alot about linux and ubuntu itself also how would i retrieve the panic message | 17:42 |
| xteejx | I have a question but only minorly related to Ubuntu (I'm doing it IN Ubuntu)... I want to split an xml file (from a wikipedia dump) into smaller files by page, using the <page> tag as a document break of sorts. How would I do this in Ubuntu? | 17:42 |
| ikonia | reddeath68: it's a boot argument you pass to the kernel | 17:43 |
| Mike9863 | xteejx: Write a script that will parse it | 17:43 |
| reddeath68 | never messed with boot arguements before | 17:43 |
| ikonia | Mike9863: ok, so the lookup is out of the question | 17:43 |
| JamesK | Hello, I tried to install Ubuntu with Unetbootin, I created installation USB stick, when I plug it in and click on "Default" after selecting boot from USB drive, it is showing me "Kernel Image not found" | 17:44 |
| xteejx | Mike9863: That's where I'm stumped. I have very basic knowledge of pyhton and not much else... :( | 17:44 |
| Mike9863 | xteejx: You should go to #python then | 17:44 |
| xteejx | fair enough, cheers... | 17:45 |
| JamesK | what to do now? | 17:45 |
| JamesK | can someone help me? | 17:46 |
| wilee-nilee | JamesK, check the sum of the iso and maybe try another usb loader | 17:46 |
| reddeath68 | ikonia, how would I do the kdump boot arguement as I said I have never messed with boot arguements | 17:47 |
| wilee-nilee | !md5sum | JamesK | 17:47 |
| ubottu | JamesK: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 17:47 |
| ikonia | reddeath68: well, lets look at it this way | 17:47 |
| ikonia | reddeath68: you have two options | 17:47 |
| ikonia | reddeath68: 1.) use the working kernel and just enjoy using your machine | 17:47 |
| ikonia | reddeath68: 2.) try to debug a kernel problem | 17:47 |
| [CaBeTuX] | hi guys! | 17:47 |
| ikonia | reddeath68: if you chose 2.) you're going to have to put in a fair bit of basic research yourself. | 17:47 |
| [CaBeTuX] | I have a problem with rsyslog | 17:48 |
| wilee-nilee | JamesK, Using unetbootin to download the iso can be problematic, if that was your approach | 17:48 |
| reddeath68 | ikonia, I would like to debug only because the latest kernel seemed to fix a problem I was having with a removable piece of media I owned always mounting as a read only file system | 17:48 |
| wilee-nilee | !details > [CaBeTuX] | 17:48 |
| ubottu | [CaBeTuX], please see my private message | 17:48 |
| Richter | #kali-linux | 17:48 |
| [CaBeTuX] | I created a new .conf file in /etc/rsyslog.d/ but not work... the idea is send messages of catalina.out to tomcat at rsyslog remote server | 17:48 |
| ihre | JamesK: http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/ | 17:48 |
| JamesK | wilee-nilee: thanks for reply, I managed to install it on my compute, and it is installed, now I am wondering is the installation perfect? do I need to reinstall or just update? | 17:49 |
| wilee-nilee | Richter /j | 17:49 |
| ikonia | reddeath68: honestly...... | 17:49 |
| wilee-nilee | JamesK, probably okay just run the updates | 17:49 |
| JamesK | wilee-nilee: I downloaded a ISO file. | 17:49 |
| reddeath68 | ikonia, unless their is a way to fix the read only while using the old kernel which may be easier | 17:49 |
| ikonia | reddeath68: what was the problem device out of interest ? | 17:49 |
| wilee-nilee | JamesK, you could check the sum of the iso if it makes you feeel better. | 17:49 |
| reddeath68 | ikonia, a sony walkman nwz-e365 mp3 player | 17:50 |
| ikonia | reddeath68: so in your current kernel (uname -a please) you can only mount it read only, but in the newer kernel you can mount it read/write , correct ? | 17:50 |
| reddeath68 | ikonia, my old nwz-e344 worked fine however yet when new kernel came out the e365 suddenly started working | 17:50 |
| [CaBeTuX] | ok ubottu. Version: wheezy/sid Cloud Computing AMI Amazon. I try: send messages of tomcat "catalina.out" log via rsyslog at remote syslog server. Not have output | 17:51 |
| ikonia | reddeath68: got it with you now ? | 17:51 |
| wilee-nilee | [CaBeTuX], This ubuntu? | 17:51 |
| JamesK | wilee-nilee: what could be the cause of showing that "kernel image not found" when clicked "Default" ? | 17:51 |
| wilee-nilee | JamesK, Not sure. | 17:51 |
| reddeath68 | ikonia, yes that is correct (uname -a: 3.8.0-27-generic) and yes its sitting right next to me | 17:51 |
| ikonia | reddeath68: lets have a look, I'm interested, can you please it in please and lets have a prod around at it | 17:52 |
| ikonia | reddeath68: not often you get something interesting, so if you have time, lets have a quick look | 17:52 |
| TheSpirit | hellome, I have a Nexus 7 (2nd Generation). What is the status of Ubuntu Touch? Will normal Ubuntu work on it? Is it worth it to remove Android? | 17:52 |
| JamesK | ihre: is not that a win software? | 17:52 |
| wilee-nilee | JamesK, IF it is installed if it were me I would not worry about that, things happen that finding an exact answer for can be difficult | 17:52 |
| Nach0z | um | 17:53 |
| Nach0z | ubuntu touch? o_0 | 17:53 |
| wilee-nilee | !touch | TheSpirit | 17:53 |
| ubottu | TheSpirit: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch | 17:53 |
| JamesK | wilee-nilee: yup I am connecting from it right now, just running the updates. | 17:53 |
| [CaBeTuX] | wilee-nilee, Is a Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS | 17:53 |
| reddeath68 | its plugged in | 17:54 |
| [CaBeTuX] | wheezy/sid show in /etc/debian_version | 17:54 |
| wilee-nilee | [CaBeTuX], how is this related "wheezy/sid " just trying to understand | 17:54 |
| wilee-nilee | it the sever | 17:55 |
| caf4926 | If I want to setup remote internet (not just over the LAN) access to my files on a server, what is the simplest approach? | 17:55 |
| Nach0z | kinda sad that the ubuntu edge didn't hit its goal :/ | 17:55 |
| wilee-nilee | server* | 17:55 |
| Nach0z | I think if funding had gone on a bit longer it would have | 17:55 |
| ikonia | reddeath68: ok, so, lets look at the first thing, can you put "sudo fdisk -l" in a pastebin please, | 17:55 |
| akshayPai | when will 13.04 stable version release? | 17:55 |
| [CaBeTuX] | wilee-nilee, infosec01:/etc/rsyslog.d$ cat /etc/debian_version | 17:55 |
| [CaBeTuX] | wheezy/sid | 17:55 |
| [CaBeTuX] | its simple | 17:55 |
| wilee-nilee | akshayPai, was already | 17:55 |
| reddeath68 | seems to be functioning for now believe the orignal problem may have been a bad file system or something originally as I have compared the file system of the old one with the new one and the new one seemsed to bug out interface wise i did format it via the built in controls also had done ctrl + h to see if there was maybe a hidden file causing any problems | 17:55 |
| ikonia | reddeath68: ahh, so it is working with the old kernel too | 17:56 |
| wilee-nilee | [CaBeTuX], That is debian | 17:56 |
| [CaBeTuX] | not... is a ubuntu 12.04.02 LTS | 17:56 |
| wilee-nilee | wheezy/sid is debian | 17:56 |

| wilee-nilee | akshayPai, 13.04 has been released for awhile, what is it you actually need. | 17:58 |

| daftykins | just ask | 18:00 |
| akshayPai | wilee-nilee,i installed 13.04 but giving me a lot of system errors , tried 12.04 lts .. and it worked fine but still liked the new features of 13.04 and was wondering if i cld get a stable lt on that | 18:00 |

| wilee-nilee | uhelp, For? | 18:06 |
| daftykins | reddeath68: the module thing doesn't sound critical - and the nvidia card thing, try another driver version | 18:07 |
| wolffff | uhelp, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop ubuntu-gnome-default-settings | 18:07 |
| wilee-nilee | uhelp, most would not add a desktop to a server. | 18:07 |
| uhelp | wilee-nilee: for the ability of the system to boot into xwindows and give me a desktop without transitional effects and where alt-tab shows me the next item by english name instead of a lot of identical pictures and where there isn't a giant bar on the left using all my screen up | 18:07 |
| reddeath68 | daftykins, ok I will try the different drivers any suggested versions? | 18:07 |
| AleXa | Guys, what shall I start to learn: Python or C? Which of these are the most used on Ubuntu? | 18:08 |
| uhelp | wolffff: E: Unable to locate package ubuntu-gnome-desktop E: Unable to locate package ubuntu-gnome-default-settings | 18:08 |
| reddeath68 | ikonia, its not that it appears missing its that it dramatically slows after certain programs are used for a prolonged time then closed and reopened later in the day | 18:08 |
| wilee-nilee | uhelp, find a supported desktop you like and install it, is all I can really say | 18:08 |
| ozzloy | AleXa, python | 18:08 |
| wilee-nilee | uhelp, If you find one and still need help ask us. | 18:09 |
| uhelp | wilee-nilee: Is gnome-desktop not supported? | 18:09 |
| uhelp | wilee-nilee: where do I find out which ones are? | 18:09 |
| wilee-nilee | uhelp, I'm not sure what the gnome-desktop is to be honest sounds like gnome 2 | 18:10 |
| daftykins | reddeath68: anything other than what you're running now :) | 18:10 |
| ikonia | reddeath68: ok, so here is my tip, open a terminal, type "top" into it - and just leave it running, when you think your machine is out of memory, look at the top 5 processes listed, write them down and report back | 18:10 |
| moondog | uhelp: I ran into a command string that will uninstall unity entirely and install gnome3 | 18:10 |
| ozzloy | AleXa, i assume since you're asking that, you're not going to be doing hardware level stuff, and you instead will be doing more "software"y stuff | 18:10 |
| moondog | google is your friend | 18:10 |
| wilee-nilee | uhelp, The gnome desktop now released is called the gnome-shell in ubuntu but t has more than you describes wanting. | 18:11 |
| HisaoNakai | 18:11 | |
| ubottu | While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 18:11 |
| reddeath68 | ikonia, will do I can tell you the main things that i use and seem to experience this slowdown with are firefox(especially when using youtube) and minecraft | 18:11 |
| moondog | uhelp: if you want the url I can get it | 18:11 |
| ozzloy | AleXa, there's probably more c code than python in the whole system, but the code likely to be encountered by someone asking "which is used more: c or python?" is python | 18:11 |
| wolffff | uhelp, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 18:11 |
| uhelp | wilee-nilee: I am not feature-adverse as long as it doesn't make using the system painfully slower or use up all my screen with toolbars | 18:11 |
| [CaBeTuX] | bye people... I get tired of waiting, after being questioned! | 18:11 |
| uhelp | moondog: thank you | 18:12 |
| ikonia | reddeath68: minecraft, java = risk | 18:12 |
| uhelp | wolffff: I will try that now | 18:12 |
| wilee-nilee | uhelp, For a light setup lxde would probably serve you the lubuntu base | 18:12 |
| wolffff | should work | 18:12 |
| reddeath68 | ikonia, in terms of sucurity or in terms of linux itself? | 18:12 |
| AleXa | ozzloy, thanks, man! | 18:13 |
| ikonia | reddeath68: just as an application | 18:13 |
| snufft | hey guys | 18:13 |
| csd | hi, I was wondering if anyone knows how to get xchat to provide a persistent notification when I get an irc private message. I've turned all of the alerts on in xchat but that hasn't helped. I get a temporary balloon o a new message but if I miss it nothing remains. What I'm looking for is for the envelope on the top-right to go blue (like pidgin and thunderbird do) or the icon on the left to have some notification (like thunderbird) | 18:13 |
| wilee-nilee | uhelp, YOU might just research desktops by downloading ISO's and booting them to see what you like. | 18:13 |
| ozzloy | is there a utility that tells me what kind of ram i should get for my laptop? i used dmidecode to see what's in there, but i don't know what the mobo can support. how do i see that? | 18:13 |
| reddeath68 | ikonia, why risk does linux not play well with java or is there more because if i remember my java course correctly it is hard to make java interface directly with a machine as it runs based on a virtual machine | 18:14 |
| snufft | has anyone had problems with autocomplete_widget not working for anon? | 18:14 |
| snufft | autocomplete_widget? | 18:14 |
| snufft | autocomplete_widgets? | 18:14 |
| ChogyDan | ozzloy: I think newegg.com has one, and corsair.com | 18:14 |
| micaelbergeron | ozzloy, normally your laptop model will tell you it'S chipset, from which you can find RAM specs. | 18:14 |
| ozzloy | ChogyDan, oh that'd be cool too | 18:14 |
| uhelp | wilee-nilee: I need to install a gui on ubuntu server since it is my understanding that only ubuntu server has support for 5 years for the base os? Anything else I will need to upgrade in 2 years? Am I missing something here? | 18:14 |
| wilee-nilee | csd, You will see the nick in the channel panel. | 18:14 |
| ozzloy | i know the current chip is a single 8G 1333Mhz DDR3 | 18:15 |
| Orioa | does anyone know what the command is to add nitrogen restore to the start up applications | 18:15 |
| snufft | autocomplete_widgets? | 18:15 |
| Extreminador | how can i disable the mouse-pad when a mouse exist turned on ? | 18:15 |
| ozzloy | but idk what the mobo supports for max mhz. i know it supports a total of 16GB | 18:15 |
| csd | wilee-nilee, I use multiple desktops so I don't see the xchat window normally. Which is why I'm looking for something that will be visible from any desktop | 18:15 |
| micaelbergeron | ozzloy, well you are better of getting the same speed | 18:15 |
| ChogyDan | ozzloy: yeah, if you are adding a module, I suggest getting exactly the same as what you got | 18:16 |
| ozzloy | micaelbergeron, indeed, but i might just get 2 new sticks | 18:16 |
| micaelbergeron | ozzloy, i guess that it 'would' take also 1600mhz | 18:16 |
| wilee-nilee | uhelp, 12.04 has 5years, I believe with lubuntu the de is 3 years, the gnome panel is the fallback it has 5 years and is closest to the gnome 2 setup. | 18:16 |
| ozzloy | depending on how expensive that is | 18:16 |
| micaelbergeron | ozzloy, if you bought it with a single 8GB, that is pretty high-end, so my guess is 1600mhz | 18:17 |
| ozzloy | ChogyDan, micaelbergeron thanks! | 18:17 |
| ozzloy | for your time | 18:17 |
| uhelp | wilee-nilee: if I already have ubuntu server installed can I simply install gnome-panel package and be done? | 18:17 |
| micaelbergeron | ozzloy, 16 GB in 2 sticks @ 1600 will put you down maybe 120$ | 18:17 |
| micaelbergeron | ozzloy, for good quality ram | 18:17 |
| wilee-nilee | uhelp, NOt sure I install the gnome-shell that is gnome 3 and the fallback is included, but this is 13.04 | 18:18 |
| ozzloy | how about 1 8GB 1333MHz? | 18:18 |
| * ozzloy should just google it at this point | 18:18 | |
| wilee-nilee | uhelp, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/gnome-classic-in-ubuntu-12-04-its-like-nothing-ever-changed | 18:18 |
| ozzloy | but i'd still like to know for sure whether my board can take 1600 | 18:18 |
| micaelbergeron | ozzloy, can you tell me your laptop model | 18:19 |
| ozzloy | thinkpad x1, but not the carbon one, i'll see if i can find a product page | 18:19 |
| uhelp | thank you for the link .... I am going to go away and come back in a few with results (hopefully or lack thereof) | 18:19 |

| Hypnotix | evening, i have a big problem, i cannot reinstall ubuntu | 18:22 |
| micaelbergeron | from what I see here, you'd be capped @ 8GB 1333, with th Q67 Express chipet. | 18:22 |
| Hypnotix | i think it may be my harddrive but im not sure | 18:22 |
| micaelbergeron | Hyperbyte, have you checked the SMART status? | 18:22 |
| daftykins | Hypnotix: what seems to happen? | 18:23 |
| Hypnotix | i check with the disk utility and all is assesed as OK | 18:23 |
| daftykins | no reallocated sectors? | 18:23 |
| ozzloy | thinkpad x1 type 1286 model CTO | 18:23 |
| Hypnotix | i have no more data on this harddriver its clean | 18:23 |
| shashankg | I installed ubuntu 13.04, I can't change my screen brightness using brightness keys or brightness and lock, As written in an answer on ask ubuntu I also made this change.http://pastebin.com/z5xWu7at | 18:23 |
| Hypnotix | it says 0 | 18:23 |
| daftykins | Hypnotix: so what's happening when you go to install? | 18:23 |
| ozzloy | micaelbergeron, thinkpad x1 type 1286 model CTO. and lenovo's site isn't loading the manual page for me | 18:24 |
| Hypnotix | ill try again and let you know where it hangs | 18:24 |
| setuid | I need to test some code against the latest upstream kernel.org kernel. How can I take the parameters that were used to build the default Ubuntu kernel, and rebuild an upstream kernel with exactly the same config? | 18:24 |
| wilee-nilee | shashankg, Did you update-grub? | 18:25 |
| MonkeyDust | setuid there's also #ubuntu-kernel | 18:25 |
| Hypnotix | daftykins: it hangs after i select download updates while installing, install third party etc | 18:25 |
| daftykins | Hypnotix: could be worth using the live mode to delete the entire disk setup first off, to have a clean slate? | 18:25 |
| micaelbergeron | ozzloy, you are indeed capped at 8GB unfortunatly. | 18:25 |
| daftykins | Hypnotix: disable those then. install without and update later | 18:25 |
| wilee-nilee | shashankg, Did you update-grub? and reboot | 18:25 |
| shashankg | wilee-nilee: How can I update grub? | 18:26 |
| ozzloy | micaelbergeron, that's not what dmidecode says | 18:26 |
| trism | setuid: we have builds already: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 18:26 |
| wilee-nilee | shashankg, sudo update-grub then rebbot any mods there need a update | 18:26 |
| Hypnotix | daftykins: i have booted from the usb right now | 18:26 |
| ozzloy | micaelbergeron, could dmidecode be wrong? | 18:26 |
| wilee-nilee | reboot* | 18:26 |
| Hypnotix | and its not the downloading that causes the hanging it just doesnt read my hdd i guess | 18:27 |
| setuid | trism, looking | 18:27 |
| daftykins | Hypnotix: use disk utility to nuke the disk then | 18:27 |
| daftykins | Hypnotix: are you choosing manual partitioning or telling it to just do whatever it wants? | 18:27 |
| === mohamad is now known as Guest80307 | ||
| Hypnotix | daftykins: i dont even get to that screen | 18:27 |
| micaelbergeron | ozzloy, I have no idead with dmidecode would be wrong, but you only have 1 SODIMM so you can't add any more RAM. | 18:28 |

| dinu | just keep your proxy address and port in its place | 19:05 |
| ikonia | uhelp: why did you install ubuntu desktop after you had put xubuntu desktop already on it | 19:05 |
| uhelp | ikonia: I didn't install the desktop version because it isn't supported for 5 years like server | 19:05 |
| ikonia | uhelp: yes, but the desktop component on the server, will only be 3 years | 19:05 |
| shivani | dinu : are these to be put into my apt.conf ? | 19:05 |
| ikonia | uhelp: so you still only get 3 years really | 19:05 |
| dinu | shivani: this will make your terminal or bash to download updates and packages through it | 19:05 |
| uhelp | ikonia: after everything is running I will uninstall the desktop component but I cannot do the setup without it | 19:05 |
| ikonia | uhelp: putting the ubuntu desktop install on may just be easy/quck fix | 19:06 |
| dinu | shivani: yes but use your proxy settings as set in your browser | 19:06 |
| ikonia | uhelp: just install from the desktop CD - you'll find it easier than the situation you are currently in | 19:06 |
| uhelp | ikonia: I am mailing off this server to Panama City, Panama and I need it to work for 5 years if possible | 19:06 |

| dinu | shivani^^ | 19:06 |
| ikonia | ChogyDan: what does the ^ do ? | 19:07 |
| uhelp | ikonia: if there is a security hole it won't be patched :( could be a disaster | 19:07 |

| ChogyDan | ikonia: it does a tasksel install rather than a package | 19:07 |
| ikonia | uhelp: 1.) if you can't confiugre the server without a desktop - you are probably not the person to make it secure | 19:07 |
| uhelp | ikonia: I am listening | 19:07 |
| dinu | look for my pm shihan | 19:08 |
| uhelp | ikonia: you cannot configure the system without a desktop PERIOD. There is no command-line admin program. I suppose you could do remote xwindows without a desktop. | 19:08 |
| ikonia | uhelp: 2.) the "components" are not supported, eg: an ubuntu desktop install, will still get kenrel updates, libc updates etc etc as they are shared with the server install repos - it just won't get desktop component updates such as the desktop, or say firefox | 19:08 |
| ikonia | uhelp: you'll find it much much simpler, install ubuntu 12.04 lts desktop - configure your applications, then shutdown/disable X11 | 19:08 |
| ezra-s | uhelp, you are probably the first one I see that uses desktop to configure a server | 19:09 |
| ikonia | ezra-s: some applications require a gui to install | 19:09 |

| smaudet | ikonia: that's not entirely true, firefox still gets updates | 19:10 |
| ezra-s | ikonia, ssh x forwarding does fine | 19:10 |
| ikonia | ezra-s: it depends on your situation, using a local desktop can be easier | 19:10 |
| croki | hi | 19:10 |
| smaudet | ikonia: at least, I do. But I may have configured it specially? | 19:10 |
| smaudet | I run ff 23 anyways | 19:10 |
| ezra-s | ikonia, that does not apply on a server in a production environment | 19:10 |
| ikonia | smaudet: what do you mean you do - it's not EOL | 19:10 |
| ikonia | ezra-s: yeah, it does | 19:10 |
| uhelp | ezra-s: lots of programs no longer allow their configuration via a gui --- or it is damn-near-impossible to do so (try to use eclipse without the gui to get a project to the point where you can build it from the command line) | 19:10 |
| ezra-s | ikonia, if you mean your house computer, it does yes | 19:10 |
| ikonia | ezra-s: no, I mean enterprise setups | 19:11 |
| ezra-s | eclipse is not something to use in a SERVER | 19:11 |
| smaudet | ikonia: 'it just won't get desktop component updates such as the desktop, or say firefox' | 19:11 |
| ikonia | ezra-s: who said eclipse ? | 19:11 |
| ikonia | smaudet: yes, when it's EOL | 19:11 |
| ikonia | smaudet: it's not EOL, so still gets update | 19:11 |
| smaudet | ikonia: sure, does 12.04 come default configured with EOL? | 19:11 |
| * ezra-s reading up, perhaps Im imagining things | 19:11 | |
| ikonia | smaudet: what are you talking about "EOL" | 19:12 |
| lhx | yuck... forget eclipse... learn vim or emacs... it's worth the investment | 19:12 |
| ikonia | smaudet: Eol = End Of Life support | 19:12 |

| ezra-s | I apologize | 19:12 |
| ikonia | ezra-s: no need, | 19:12 |
| smaudet | ikonia: nvm, I thought you meant Extended Release, didn't think the acronym through :) | 19:12 |
| uhelp | ezra-s: lots of people need to do a nightly build and use eclipse to automate the process since they use it on the desktop to create the application | 19:13 |
| iampoz | hi guys, has there been a large number of people coming in here talking about nvidia problems in the last 2 weeks? | 19:13 |
| uhelp | ezra-s: the nightly build is on the server with a cron job | 19:13 |
| iampoz | seems like the next update messes up my computer | 19:13 |
| smaudet | ikonia: I probably jumped in without all the facts of the convo, but it sounded like you were saying firefox on 12.04.2 doesn't get firefox upgrades | 19:13 |
| uhelp | ezra-s: but you can't easily get to the point of the nightly build without using the gui to configure the project | 19:13 |
| smaudet | Firefox is not EOL, for sure. | 19:13 |
| mojtaba | wilee-nilee: Hi, could you please let me know to where can I upload the picture of the Gparted? | 19:13 |
| ezra-s | what I meant, most enterprise software that needs a gui, does so for installation (oracle software anyone?), and for that ssh x forwarding is what most do.. because you want to limit the amount of packages susceptible of security issues in a production environment | 19:13 |
| ezra-s | uhelp, ssh x forwarding | 19:14 |
| ezra-s | monitoring software may need a gui for usage, but still you can run that from a desktop and connect to necessary servers | 19:14 |
| ikonia | uhelp: seriously, quick fix, install from the desktop cd, configure your applicaiton, disable X - job done | 19:14 |
| ikonia | uhelp: make it easy and clean on yourself | 19:14 |
| ezra-s | where I work If I ask for X to be installed anywhere they will probably cut me in two | 19:15 |
| smaudet | ikonia: I am not getting other upgrades I noticed like pulseaudio, which is version 1.1 when the latest version is 4.0, but that's not firefox. I'm seriously thinking about upgrading, as it may be one contributing factor to some flash issues I'm having atm. | 19:15 |

| ikonia | smaudet: so ? I'm missing the point here, what are you expecting to happen ? | 19:18 |
| mojtaba | iampoz: Could you please let me know how should I do that? | 19:18 |
| uhelp | ikonia: perhaps I could install the desktop version but I will never understand why there isn't set of package(s) that I cannot install onto the server, do my thing, then uninstall -- in the past with 8.04 server that worked perfectly (12.04 is a step backwards if you cannot do the same) | 19:18 |
| ikonia | uhelp: there is - but you have messed up your install | 19:18 |
| pepper_chico | what's a good book, online reference, anything, that's a good reference for commands like readelf, ldd, strace, env that help at diagnostics, process monitoring, dependencies and stuff? | 19:18 |
| smaudet | ikonia: which has usually occured when flash has frozen. Point? I was just saying I'm considering trying to upgrade it myself. | 19:18 |
| ikonia | uhelp: it's fixable, however, it will be quicker to just do my other suggesiton | 19:18 |
| ikonia | uhelp: so if there is a reason we can't do the quick suggestion, we can work through the problem | 19:18 |
| ikonia | smaudet: how are you going to upgrade it ??? | 19:19 |
| iampoz | are you using gpart? - but really I am not the best person to do this kind of stuff since you could lose all your data if you do somthing wrong... | 19:19 |
| smaudet | ikonia: perhaps more conversational, so more appropriate for #ubuntu-offtopic, but... | 19:19 |
| ikonia | smaudet: you'd need to upgrade the howle OS to the development release. | 19:19 |
| mojtaba | iampoz: Because when I right click on the unallocated area, it just has new and properties options. and when I click new, it says you have four primary partition and you can not make any other partition. | 19:19 |
| smaudet | ikonia: manually | 19:19 |
| shashankg | nl287: thanks for the response. I tried using the keys fn+f3/f4. also tried using brightness and lock. none works | 19:19 |

I have installed the 1st ISO in a computer and it is working fine BTW. what to do now? | 19:22 |
| iampoz | thanks Oerheks, that was a good answer, i think thats what I had to do awhile back when I was messing around with that stuff | 19:22 |

| shashankg | ok, thanks anyways . | 19:23 |
| julian-delphiki | JamesK: what 13.04 version? :) | 19:23 |
| Guest47892 | was wondering if someone can help a noob out... i have 10.04 with linuxcnc. it has been working fine for a while, then i couldnt access the folders through my network all off a sudden. i rebooted ubuntu, and then it appears i lost all privileges somehow. if i click on the applications dropdown menu, it shows nothing. If i click on the system tab, it only shows a few items like about gnome or whatever. | 19:23 |
| mojtaba | OerHeks: Could you please tell which ones are primary? (which one should I delete?) | 19:23 |
| iampoz | mojtaba, "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe" | 19:23 |
| iampoz | lol jk | 19:24 |
| mojtaba | iampoz: What is that? | 19:24 |
| lhx | ezra-s: then why do you need eclipse? | 19:24 |
| JamesK | julian-delphiki: dont't get what you mean. | 19:24 |
| smaudet | ikonia: again, that's not entirely true...unless by 'you can't' you mean the whole depedency tree upgrade (dependent packages) is synonymous with the full dist-upgrade - however I thought ubuntu was more than just an audio server, so forgive me if I have some doubts about that. Its certainly not something I'll find nicely packaged in ubuntu-packages. | 19:24 |
| julian-delphiki | JamesK: are both of them 13.04 desktop? | 19:24 |
| OerHeks | mojtaba, ilooking at your screenshot, remove ALL except sda1 and sda2, those are your windows partitions, and the unallocated space will be freed | 19:24 |
| iampoz | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eeny,_meeny,_miny,_moe | 19:24 |
| smaudet | ikonia: it is also certainly something I would approch with tepidity and reserve, it is quite difficult to do. | 19:25 |
| smaudet | s/approch/approach/ | 19:25 |
| mojtaba | OerHeks: Then I will lost all of my data!! | 19:25 |
| ikonia | smaudet: pulse audio is so intergratted into the desktop you'll find the depenedency tree huge, andyou'll basically end up with a conflicting system - you may as well do it | 19:25 |
| iampoz | so I know nvidia is a sensative subject here, but has anyone else reported problems with the lastest update? | 19:25 |
| JamesK | julian-delphiki: yup, both of them are 13.04, downloaded in same process as described above. | 19:25 |

| smaudet | ikonia: what do you mean by 'desktop'? The DE? | 19:26 |
| iampoz | so I am assuming no nvidia problems aside from me? | 19:26 |
| ikonia | smaudet: yes | 19:27 |
| iampoz | I mean with the lastest update | 19:27 |
| shalini | When I do sudo gedit I get this warning IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of /home/shashank/.config/ibus/bus is not root!. what does it means? | 19:27 |
| smaudet | ikonia: then its not much of an issue: I'm not using Unity. | 19:27 |
| ikonia | smaudet: you are using a desktop though are you not ? | 19:27 |
| smaudet | ikonia: I am. KDE to be precise. Which I am using the latest KDE stuff | 19:27 |
| ikonia | smaudet: so kde is the desktop too | 19:27 |
| smaudet | 4.11 | 19:28 |
| ikonia | pulse audio is still used by kde | 19:28 |
| mojtaba | OerHeks: Do you know what is /dev/sda3? | 19:28 |
| OerHeks | mojtaba, encryption can have effect, losing your keys, etc. and recovering an encrypted partition is hard, so a backup is wise. | 19:28 |
| mojtaba | OerHeks: Is it swap? | 19:28 |
| OerHeks | mojtaba, it is an unrecognized partition, i guess it is empty | 19:28 |
| smaudet | ikonia: sure, I know; the desktop environment however is divorced somewhat from the distro release | 19:29 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest47892, Are you running 10.04 as a server only? | 19:29 |
| mojtaba | OerHeks: How can I make sure? and if it is empty, is it counted a primary partition? Can I just delete this one? | 19:29 |
| smaudet | ikonia: what remains is to know the graph structure and manually plot the difference(s). Something, as I said, I would approach with great trepidation. | 19:29 |
| Guest47892 | wilee-nilee: no i dont think so | 19:29 |
| HypnotiX | wilee-nilee: can you help me out a bit m8, i get an error when i try to install ubuntu | 19:29 |
| Guest47892 | wilee-nilee: it's a cnc mill | 19:30 |
| ikonia | smaudet: yes, but as the desktop DEPENDS on pulse versions, you'll find that to install pulse, you'll end up upgrading the desktop, and as everything depends on the desktop, other things will update, so basically you'll ennd up with almost full distro upgrade, and a few lose non-upgrade packags which may well break incompatible | 19:30 |

| OerHeks | mojtaba, you might want to check it within windows, my best opinion it is empty space | 19:30 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest47892, Just a heads up that the desktop is end of life, but the server is still supported, I saw the linuxcnc so I figured you have a X, not sure on any permissions. | 19:30 |
| iampoz | wilee-nilee: Got a quick question - Has there been anyone talking about nvidia problems with the lastest update? (in the last 1-2 weeks) | 19:31 |
| mojtaba | OerHeks: You mean I should boot to windows and then see what is it? | 19:31 |
| smaudet | ikonia: ... I don't know what 'interest' there was to have. I never disagreed that it was difficult. | 19:31 |
| mojtaba | OerHeks: Is it possible to see what is it in ubuntu? | 19:31 |
| wilee-nilee | iampoz, what makes you think I know? | 19:31 |

| === fred_ is now known as Guest9298 | ||
| julian-delphiki | smaudet: are you aware that dist-upgrade doesn't remove you from LTS, all it does it maybe upgrade the kernel | 19:38 |
| JamesK | julian-delphiki: please, reply. | 19:38 |
| bazhang | smaudet, a dist-upgrade does NOT change versions | 19:38 |
| mojtaba | nl287: Is swap partition primary partition? (it is encrypted at the moment though) | 19:38 |

| julian-delphiki | JamesK: I'm not sure. | 19:38 |
| wilee-nilee | mojtaba, its not in a extended it is a primary | 19:38 |
| julian-delphiki | smaudet: because do-release-upgrade or w/e is the command that upgrades toa different ubuntu version | 19:38 |
| bazhang | !dist-upgrade | smaudet | 19:38 |
| ubottu | smaudet: 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. | 19:38 |
| mrmowgli | Anyone know what package includes the 'elf' command line tool? | 19:38 |
| uhelp | mojtaba: you can combine the partitions but to do so you need to take the data off of them, delete the partitions, make a new partition the size of both, and then put the data back | 19:38 |

| uhelp | mojtaba: be sure to use swapoff before you remove a swap partition then it should be ok to remove it | 19:40 |
| micaelbergeron | mojdata, the swap partition is just a 'working' area for your system in the event it needs more virtual memory. | 19:40 |

| smaudet | julian-delphiki: nevertheless if a package starts showing signs of wear and tear it might be a good idea to try to look at manually upgrading, depending on how much trouble it is. | 19:45 |

| smaudet | julian-delphiki: right, and I'm using kubuntu-desktop - so I have to look at my graphs to see exactly how much troulbe that is. | 19:47 |

| OerHeks | Kalel maybe a bad download, who can tell with w7 ? | 20:30 |
| Extreminador | and where is the file or how can i change that option menu (not a icon) | 20:30 |
| bekks | ssh root login should always be disabled due to security reasons. | 20:30 |
| Extreminador | i am using the enlightment desktoptop enviroment | 20:30 |
| bekks | It is one of the worst ideas to enable ssh root login. | 20:30 |

| smaudet | Note; to run that you will need to 'sudo apt-get install debtree dot' if you don't already have those | 20:33 |

| uhelp | bekks: I am not sure why this is a bad idea for single-user systems in the case of private key? | 20:35 |
| smaudet | Extreminador: This isn's so much advice as a technical possibility; you could setup root with a desktop environment, but then that would only be for root...and there are a bunch of other problems with doing that, so don't. | 20:35 |
| bekks | uhelp: having a root pw in addition to a key auth and not disabling pw auth explicitely is in invitation for brute force attacks. | 20:35 |
| smaudet | Extreminador: otherwise the best solution would be a 'preview mode' | 20:36 |
| uhelp | bekks: password auth isn't worse than key auth if the password isn't weak (for instance use base64 of key as password) | 20:36 |
| smaudet | In the case of the software center you could just use only apt-get | 20:37 |
| bekks | uhelp: Basically, it is worse. | 20:37 |
| smaudet | sudo stays logged in as long as you are using it frequently | 20:37 |
| uhelp | bekks: if someone uses 12345 as their password it is bad but if the password is strong I am not aware of any issues | 20:37 |

| smaudet | Extreminador: no I mean for stuff that requires a credit card | 20:38 |
| smaudet | e.g. purchased apps | 20:38 |
| uhelp | bekks: everyone can use a phrase -- there is nothing which prevents strong passwords other than people just not bothering to type them | 20:39 |
| Extreminador | smaudet, that i don know... | 20:39 |
| smaudet | Extreminador: that's pretty much the only reason to use the software center, other than I suppose previews | 20:39 |
| smaudet | I've never used it myself. | 20:39 |
| uhelp | bekks: a key is just a long password | 20:39 |
| smaudet | I 'shop' on the interwebz for applications, then apt-get them if they exist. | 20:40 |
| smaudet | Usually has better documentation and pictures online anyways. | 20:40 |
| bekks | uhelp: Nope. key based auth and passphrase based auth work differently. | 20:40 |
| Extreminador | well smaudet u use it because it's easyer to read and search for stuff | 20:40 |
| Extreminador | instead use the terminal | 20:40 |
| smaudet | Extreminador: synaptic does the same job | 20:40 |
| smaudet | if you don't want to search with apt-cache | 20:41 |
| smaudet | If you aren't buying an application its just slightly prettier...although it sucks for package management. | 20:41 |
| Extreminador | specialy that... the cache search it's a little un-praticak | 20:41 |
| Extreminador | un-ptratical | 20:41 |
| smaudet | Extreminador: not for someone comfortable (like me) with cmd line | 20:42 |
| uhelp | bekks: they need not. What I think you mean is that linux passwords don't use public key cryptography but they could if that was the chosen method. Keys don't need to be used with public key cryptography systems either even though ssh does use it in this fashion. | 20:42 |
| smaudet | Extreminador: synaptic is nicer for showing dependencies than apt-cache | 20:42 |
| smaudet | but if you don't care about dependencies apt-cache is better. | 20:42 |
| bekks | uhelp: They are different, in fact. Even if they dont need to be - bot approaces are implemented differently. | 20:42 |
| Extreminador | uhelp and bekks , sow the problem that you guys are talking about is about if my password is a easy password or a hard one | 20:43 |
| smaudet | e.g. if I want to find a browser in cmd line its just: apt-cache search browser | 20:43 |
| Extreminador | smaudet, i will try it... | 20:43 |
| bekks | Extreminador: Basically - instead of a password, you can use stronger key based authentication, without the need to type a password. | 20:43 |
| uhelp | Extreminador: ssh keys can be up to 4096 bits | 20:43 |
| smaudet | and if you are looking for a particular browser e.g. apt-cache search browser | grep chrome | 20:43 |
| bekks | Extreminador: And, in addition, you can even use keys that require a password, too. | 20:43 |
| Extreminador | uffffff lool | 20:44 |
| Extreminador | let me check what a key based authentication is | 20:44 |
| smaudet | Extreminador: long password | 20:45 |
| qwertyf | im trying out pear os and i broke it and where should i go to talk about how to fix it | 20:45 |
| smaudet | That you will never remember ;) | 20:45 |
| bekks | Extreminador: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH | 20:45 |

| Extreminador | ahh ok got it... | 20:45 |
| Extreminador | like a 64bits password | 20:45 |
| smaudet | yeah | 20:45 |
| Extreminador | but the guys were discussing back there they talk about the password being easy or harder | 20:46 |
| delinquentme | is there a command to toggle the windowed vrs full screen state of a window? | 20:46 |
| uhelp | Extreminador: although you don't type the password the key is like a password stored as a file on your hard drive | 20:46 |
| smaudet | Extreminador: the password is still there though, because generally you protect the password with a password | 20:46 |
| smaudet | So you encrypt the password, now called the key, with a shorter password | 20:47 |
| uhelp | Extreminador: anyone who can get access to your hard drive can extract that key (which in turn can be password protected but need not be) | 20:47 |
| Extreminador | what diference there is beetween a pop up window password (to write the password before the program opens) and write it on a terminal ? | 20:47 |
| smaudet | uhelp, Extreminador: which, again, means choosing strong passwords is still important | 20:47 |
| bekks | Extreminador: There is no difference in typing the password. There is a huge difference in the named applications. | 20:47 |
| smaudet | since its still possible to just brute force the encryption on the key... | 20:47 |
| smaudet | Especially if you chose something simple like 'dog' or 'cat' for your key-password | 20:48 |
| Extreminador | sow having a pop up windows to ask for the password for a particular program is not the real issue right ? | 20:48 |
| smaudet | For super important passwords I recommend writing down a giant password and locking it up in a safe. That way, at least they have to break into the safe to get the key to your key >_> | 20:49 |
| bekks | Extreminador: One of the issues is: do not use sudo for graphical applications. | 20:49 |
| uhelp | Extreminador: actually they can shine a lazer at your window from a km away and when you type the sound waves vibrate the lazer and they can record your key strokes | 20:49 |
| Extreminador | bekks, yup that i did not knew i am using now gksu | 20:49 |
| smaudet | uhelp: article? | 20:50 |
| Extreminador | uhelp, and that will not happen if is it on a terminal ? | 20:50 |
| ihre | I have 2 LANS, .1.0 and .2.0, my laptop is connected to the .2.0 network, and my desktop to the .1.0. If I connect a cable to the laptop on the .2.0 LAN, could I access the .1.0 LAN with my desktop in any way? | 20:50 |
| smaudet | Extreminador: it will, the only difference is that they have to break into your house later | 20:51 |
| Extreminador | ahhh got it... | 20:51 |
| smaudet | So in case of government agents with super-lasers, lock the hard drive up in the safe when you leave as well ;) | 20:51 |
| smaudet | And get one of those really big safes that require at least an hour to saw into with more lasers. | 20:51 |
| Extreminador | well my password has letter, numbers and some special chars | 20:52 |
| Extreminador | but yehh i will use them a terminal to open the software-center | 20:52 |

| Dillons | I have a question | 20:59 |
| smaudet | uhelp: there are several companies which specialize in virus and exploit creation, and sell 'surveillance' packages to global governments. Why not throw a couple mics in to boot? | 21:00 |
| HypnotiX | How can i check if my hdd is dead or dying on a live cd | 21:00 |
| uhelp | Extreminador: the space bar often sounds different enough to the human ear to to know the number of words and the number of characters in each | 21:00 |
| compdoc | HypnotiX, read the SMART info | 21:00 |
| Dillons | If i use Ubuntu ami still able to use windows 7 if i ever want to | 21:00 |
| compdoc | disk utility can do that | 21:00 |
| uhelp | smaudet: windows has enough 0-day boogs to not need too many microphones | 21:00 |
| HypnotiX | compdoc: it says ok on all | 21:01 |
| smaudet | uhelp: I hope no one in here is using windows regulalry | 21:01 |

| Extreminador | Dillons, atm i have both installed... you need to configure your boot to pop up always to ask what you want to open | 21:02 |
| HypnotiX | assesments are ok | 21:02 |
| compdoc | HypnotiX, does it have a partition type set? use gparted to set the type: either ms-dos or gpt | 21:02 |
| frenk | 56 | 21:02 |
| Dillons | Is there anything you have to do specifically to make it where you can still use windows 7 | 21:02 |
| HypnotiX | the table is msdos | 21:03 |
| smaudet | Regards to my question: can anyone run 'debtree -R --max-depth 1 pulseaudio > pulseaudiodeps.dot && dot -Tpng pulseaudiodeps.dot > pulseaudiodeps.png' for me, who has 13.04/13.10? | 21:03 |

| smaudet | uhelp: that's what god made vm's for | 21:03 |
| compdoc | HypnotiX, gparted is pretty good at creating partitions. but if the drive had some error, it may be in read-only mode as set in fstab | 21:04 |
| uhelp | smaudet: do I have any native windows installs --- no ... but I do use it in the VM when I am forced | 21:04 |

| frenk | sudo | 21:04 |
| Extreminador | wait for someone else to explain to you... | 21:04 |

| F00LY|LovesAmand | Hey guys! Student here with a question if someone doesnt mind answering or PMing me. I'm taking some Bioinformatics programming courses. Lots of programming work (Perl / Python / C) and learning terminal commands (sed, ls, cd, etc). I did this for undergrad, and working on Windows at home, but on Mac OSX at school was a nightmare. I was considering buying a Macbook Pro to make my life easier | 21:05 |
| F00LY|LovesAmand | . Then I saw the price *_* If I buy a Windows based PC and install Ubuntu on it, will I still have the same nightmare learning programming commands / system administration commands? Should I just buy the Macbook to make my life easier? Or does Linux have a similar "Terminal" to mac that can make my life easy? | 21:05 |

| Extreminador | Dillons, it's called grub | 21:06 |
| frenk | mailto:AndresSM@186.4.143.100 | 21:06 |
| Dillons | what happens if we dont have a disk to burn it to | 21:06 |
| compdoc | HypnotiX, not certain how to tell. maybe if you opened a term window and tried to create a file with nano or something | 21:07 |
| frenk | sudo ifconfig | 21:07 |
| Extreminador | Dillons, you mean the ubuntu instalation ? | 21:07 |

| NikTh | Unetbootin is a good creation tool for Ubuntu Live USB sticks.. http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 21:10 |
| compdoc | HypnotiX, do you open gparted with sudo? or does it ask a password when it opens? | 21:11 |
| smaudet | FOOLY: questions in one paragraph | 21:11 |
| F00LY | Hmm? I thought that was one paragraph. | 21:11 |
| smaudet | FOOLY: re your question, no, Linux has better terminals that OSX | 21:11 |
| smaudet | FOOLY: then your agent is splitting the question, your question is too verbose? | 21:11 |
| HypnotiX | compdoc: sec im trying something | 21:12 |
| smaudet | FOOLY: although i've not used 10.8 (last used 10.6.8), osx's Terminal was pretty atrocious. | 21:12 |
| F00LY | Smaudet: Ah, thats probably it then. Okay. So, if I buy a PC-based laptop and install Ubuntu, I can do any "administration" style homework / programming homework, and bring it to the school MAC | 21:12 |
| F00LY | Smaudet: and be okay? | 21:12 |
| bekks | F00LY: No, since MacOSX isnt Ubuntu. | 21:12 |
| smaudet | FOOLY: unless you need a mac for some other reason, definitely. | 21:12 |
| F00LY | Okay, im getting 2 conflicting answers. | 21:13 |
| smaudet | FOOLY: All the unix stuff you need is going to be there. | 21:13 |
| smaudet | If you need a more 'native' UNIX implementation, you could always use FreeBSD | 21:13 |
| NikTh | dopie: From terminal, you can use mv command or cp (to just copy it) | 21:14 |
| === dtcrshr is now known as dtcrshrs | ||
| smaudet | FOOLY: the only reason you'd need an osx would be if you needed to learn some specific OSX administration stuff, or if you needed an OSX program e.g. Final Cut Pro, but it doesn't sound like you do. | 21:14 |
| F00LY | Yeah, Im just learning to program and do basic terminal commands for moving files, password protecting, etc. | 21:15 |
| fbdystang | Alright ubuntu ninjas, I am getting a blinking cursor everytime on boot now. How can I fix it? Thanks in advance | 21:15 |

| Dillons | i downloaded UUI But sience im not using a Ubuntu my .iso is a disc file instead of iso | 21:16 |
| HypnotiX | compdoc: ah nevermind the installer gave me an error and closed | 21:16 |
| fbdystang | Really? nobody knows how to fix a blinking cursor? | 21:19 |
| smaudet | fbdystang: what is a 'blinking cursor'? | 21:22 |
| IdleOne | !nomodeset | fbdystang | 21:22 |
| ubottu | fbdystang: 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 | 21:22 |
| smaudet | What would need fixing about it? | 21:22 |
| smaudet | fbdystang: I'd check ccsm or kde desktop effects first | 21:23 |
| smaudet | fbdystang: graphics drivers, cards, parameters etc. | 21:24 |
| smaudet | Other than that I'm no help | 21:24 |
| Cheery | is there way to broadcast my desktop on ubuntu? | 21:24 |
| smaudet | Cheery: sure, xrdp, vnc | 21:24 |
| smaudet | Cheery: teamviewer | 21:25 |
| reisio | Cheery: broadcast? | 21:25 |
| smaudet | Cheery: I think skype too | 21:25 |
| smaudet | Cheery: half a dozen websites too | 21:25 |
| smaudet | smaudet: used teamviewer myself on ubuntu, so I know it work(s|ed) | 21:26 |
| smaudet | Used wine I think though | 21:26 |
| Cheery | what's the simplest way to do it? It'd only need to be seen. | 21:26 |
| smaudet | VNC/teamviewer: VNC is supported by tons of software | 21:27 |
| smaudet | But there may be a config issue or two | 21:27 |
| smaudet | teamviewer is supported only be teamviewer | 21:27 |
| smaudet | by* | 21:27 |
| reisio | Cheery: seen by whom? | 21:27 |
| smaudet | But you just share a code | 21:27 |
| Cheery | reisio: enough if a friend would see. | 21:27 |
| smaudet | Websites are supported nearly everywhere, but may have perf/quality issues | 21:28 |
| smaudet | And again are only supported by that website | 21:28 |

| HypnotiX | compdoc: are u still here? | 21:29 |
| compdoc | HypnotiX, yeah. | 21:29 |
| smaudet | guntbert: also by pros/cons | 21:29 |
| compdoc | HypnotiX, what size is the hdd? | 21:29 |
| reisio | Cheery: teamviewer would probably take the least effort altogether | 21:29 |
| HypnotiX | compdoc: 500gb | 21:29 |
| Cheery | reisio: when I google it, why do I end up to a retard site? | 21:30 |
| compdoc | HypnotiX, you were using gparted? | 21:30 |
| guntbert | smaudet: please don't - you are scrolling the channel even faster | 21:30 |
| HypnotiX | compdoc: yes | 21:30 |
| benzrf | hello bobapplepie | 21:30 |
| smaudet | Cheery: because it is a bit of a retard program; it likes to crash a bit | 21:30 |
| reisio | Cheery: if you mean teamviewer.com, that's just how retarded their site is :p | 21:30 |
| smaudet | Cheery: also it runs on wine like I said so that's a cause for some instability | 21:30 |
| reisio | I haven't noticed any instability | 21:31 |
| smaudet | guntbert; I'm sorry, that's just how I think; I say what I think, and then remember something later. | 21:31 |
| reisio | it's unfortunate it's not a native app, but there isn't much that's a competitive alternative | 21:31 |
| Cheery | smaudet: oh if it's windows software, then I understand. won't touch that with a stick. | 21:31 |
| reisio | Cheery: well it's all bundled, you just run it | 21:31 |
| smaudet | Cheery: then I'd suggest the vnc route. | 21:31 |
| smaudet | reisio: but its still windows software | 21:31 |

| eSoul | Hey guys, I am running an Ubuntu 13.04 server box and I have a 2nd network card for my VirtualBox VMs. Right now, I have to issue a "sudo ifconfig eth1 up" on boot to start the interface but I was wondering if there something something in /etc/network/interfaces I could put in to bring the interface up at boot. It have no network configuration on it at all, just looking to "turn-on" the | 21:33 |
| eSoul | interface | 21:33 |
| smaudet | Cheery: although it just occured to me that if you go vnc and this friend is not on the same network as you, but in e.g. a different country this friend will need to access your IP address, and you will have to setup some port forwarding...if you want something as easy as teamviewer you could try Skype, but again, windows software :P | 21:33 |
| reisio | smaudet: mmhmm | 21:34 |
| certanly_not_me | guyz help me pls | 21:34 |
| certanly_not_me | how to reset ip adress | 21:34 |
| lakmuz | hello, how to install subversion >=1.7v? | 21:35 |
| Cheery | smaudet: if I have my own server, could I get something done with avconv? | 21:35 |
| smaudet | Cheery: sorry I'm not familiar with that package | 21:35 |
| k1l | certanly_not_me: reset ip adress? that depends on your ISP and netowrk setup. that is more a topic for #networking than for ubuntu | 21:35 |
| k1l | lakmuz: for which ubuntu? | 21:35 |
| reisio | Cheery: probably, but it'd be more work; http://www.google.com/search?q=stream%20desktop%20ffmpeg | 21:35 |
| certanly_not_me | k1l, pls maybie some sort of command will help, ubuntu 13.04 | 21:35 |
| lakmuz | server | 21:35 |
| lakmuz | 12.04.2 | 21:35 |
| mmazing | figured it out myself - removed ~/.cache/software-center and ran unity --reset & | 21:36 |
| Cheery | reisio: I'm probably happier to the result. I just silently hoped those live streaming web sites wouldn't exist, because they are so terribly bad. | 21:36 |
| smaudet | Cheery: I used to run vnc servers on windows and mac and got it to work, the linux configuration is only potentially more difficult if you need to some X config. | 21:36 |
| k1l | lakmuz: for 12.004 the latest is 1.6.17dfsg-3ubuntu3.3 do you really need >1.7? | 21:36 |
| reisio | Cheery: heh | 21:36 |
| HypnotiX | compdoc: meh my hdd might be the problem but i need to be sure | 21:37 |
| lakmuz | yeah, sh~t i should download 13 | 21:37 |
| compdoc | 500g sounds old | 21:37 |
| k1l | lakmuz: you could look out for a PPA for 12.04. but again: do you really need 1.7? | 21:37 |
| lakmuz | yeah already googled it - - | 21:38 |
| smaudet | Cheery: the hassle with vnc is all on your end though, so if you are prepared to setup a server and stream audio/video to it, you might as well just use vnc, which does the video already | 21:38 |
| reisio | well, mostly, you still have to get someone else to install a vncviewer, run it, type in an address (that must be accessible) | 21:38 |
| k1l | lakmuz: http://askubuntu.com/questions/65468/where-can-i-find-a-subversion-1-7-binary lists some possible solutions | 21:39 |
| reisio | most people can manage going to a website, though | 21:39 |
| smaudet | Cheery: as long as you test your setup locally and ensure the ports are open the other user just needs to a) install vncviewer b) grap url c) grab port | 21:39 |
| reisio | just more work | 21:39 |
| benzrf | hey, I installed cinnamon, but when I started it it's super zoombed in | 21:39 |
| benzrf | *zoomed | 21:39 |
| benzrf | it follows the cursor around and is completely unusable | 21:39 |
| smaudet | reisio: right, but they still need to install skype/teamviewer | 21:39 |
| reisio | not exactly | 21:40 |
| smaudet | And skype/teamviewer still need that identification | 21:40 |
| reisio | teamviewer you just download and run | 21:40 |
| reisio | you can even run it from the browser's download link | 21:40 |
| k1l | benzrf: check the video card settings. watch out for the panning option | 21:40 |
| smaudet | reisio: right but they need a code | 21:40 |
| reisio | yes | 21:40 |
| reisio | it's still simpler than vnc | 21:40 |
| smaudet | which is your url/port | 21:40 |
| reisio | not like, massively simpler | 21:40 |
| reisio | but simpler | 21:40 |
| smaudet | reisio: not really, copy-paste | 21:40 |
| smaudet | in both cases | 21:40 |
| benzrf | k1l: how do I do that? | 21:41 |
| smaudet | reisio: if anything the url/port look nicer, with teamviewer you get this garbled number that looks like nothing in particular | 21:41 |
| reisio | smaudet: there's really no comparison, one you run by the download link, one you download, explicitly install, find the launcher for, type in a number for | 21:41 |
| smaudet | reisio: download/install vncviewer, run the link/find the launcher, type in the url/port | 21:42 |
| smaudet | Same difference. | 21:42 |
| reisio | no, as I said, it can launch from the "installer" | 21:42 |
| k1l | benzrf: depends on your video card /driver. are other desktops ok? | 21:42 |
| reisio | it's not a large difference, but some users have a lot of time with the whole installation and use of programs :p | 21:42 |
| smaudet | reisio: fine, vncviewers can do the same | 21:43 |
| benzrf | k1l: yup | 21:43 |
| benzrf | tried multiple ones, all fine | 21:43 |
| benzrf | both vanilla cinnamon and 2d | 21:43 |
| smaudet | reisio: the 'installer' is just an added convenience to make it easier to uninstall/organize | 21:43 |
| k1l | benzrf: i could be still a cinnamon issue. in that case ask the cinnamon guys whats going wrong | 21:44 |
| smaudet | reisio: especially on windows/mac, where the whole thing comes bundled | 21:44 |
| reisio | they can do the same, sure, they just don't on average | 21:44 |
| reisio | I have no dog in this fight, guy, it's just an obvservation of reality | 21:44 |
| reisio | an observavavation | 21:44 |
| Bauer | can anyone help me test my upnp script for my router? I need someone to try and telnet me from the outside, see whether the router really has opened a port | 21:44 |
| smaudet | reisio: Not really, its an equal observation of reality that VNC viewers are just exes you double click (or launchers). | 21:45 |
| reisio | smaudet: yes, and then you have to run something else | 21:45 |
| benzrf | Bauer: sounds like fun | 21:45 |

| reisio | smaudet: yes indeed | 21:47 |
| k1l | lakmuz: did you read the link i got you? | 21:48 |
| benzrf | lakmuz: that's because svn is silly | 21:48 |

| lakmuz | k1l: asked about bug in windows) got out of memory crash after add file to repo and commit it in windows and cygwin too ;D | 21:49 |
| smaudet | Cheery: I'd recommend UltraVNC on Windows, or TightVNC, ChickenoftheVNC on mac | 21:49 |
| reisio | I recommend tigervnc for any | 21:50 |
| smaudet | Cheery: vinagre on linux | 21:50 |
| reisio | Ubuntu comes with a VNC server, IIRC | 21:50 |
| smaudet | reisio: tightvnc comes on linux/windows, but doesn't play well with mac | 21:50 |
| reisio | smaudet: so? | 21:51 |
| smaudet | reisio: and I'd trust a native implementation on linux more; as for ultravnc, it has by far been my best experience with vnc on windows | 21:51 |
| reisio | not sure why you're telling me this :) | 21:51 |
| smaudet | reisio: there are always the java vnc apps if you want cross platform | 21:52 |
| reisio | ... | 21:52 |

| g0twig | does launchpad accept lintian overrides for PPA packages | 22:10 |
| snthtns | I just rebooted after an nvidia update and now X won't boot, thanks for the mess | 22:11 |
| Haymaker | is this thing working? | 22:11 |
| Haymaker | Sorry | 22:11 |
| Haymaker | never mind | 22:11 |
| k1l | snthtns: were there errors? | 22:11 |
| trism | g0twig: I don't think launchpad runs lintian on the package, maybe ask in #launchpad | 22:12 |
| k1l | snthtns: and where was the driver from you installed? | 22:12 |
| snthtns | k1l: driver update screws up | 22:12 |
| snthtns | it was from update-manager | 22:12 |
| g0twig | trism: of yourse they do | 22:12 |
| snthtns | updated, rebooted, X won't start | 22:12 |
| g0twig | trism: and when your package does not pass certain warnings, lp does not accept it | 22:12 |
| [Gentoo] | snthtns: paste /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 22:12 |

| g0twig | #launchpad is in general a very lonely place | 22:13 |

| kingnick42 | Dr_Willis, thanks | 22:13 |
| snthtns | the Xorg log is right after I tried to fix it with nvidia-xconfig | 22:13 |

| johnrb | hey guys, I am kind of new to the UNIX world (less than 2yrs) and learning stuff everyday and wanted to run something by more experienced users, I am running Ubuntu sever 13.04, with Ubuntu-desktop on top of it, and have a HighPoint SAS RAID card installed that uses a web based management system named hptsvr. Now i would have to run "# hptsvr" after logging in, then open the web page. Instead i installed "@reboot | 22:13 |
| johnrb | /usr/bin/hptsvr" to roots crontab and it works fine. Is there any reason I should not due that and use another way? | 22:13 |
| [Gentoo] | use wgetpaste or something | 22:13 |
| k1l | snthtns: use pastebinit | 22:13 |
| k1l | !pastebinit | snthtns | 22:14 |
| ubottu | snthtns: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 22:14 |
| snthtns | I dont need to paste these errors | 22:14 |
| snthtns | How can I recover what I used to have? | 22:14 |
| k1l | snthtns: if you dont want help stop ranting in here. | 22:14 |
| [Gentoo] | why you asking for help then | 22:14 |
| trism | g0twig: it does reject if it can't unpack the package but I've never seen it reject for lintian stuff, what are you getting rejected on? | 22:14 |
| [Gentoo] | snthtns: modprobe nvidia work? | 22:14 |
| snthtns | let me try | 22:14 |
| g0twig | trism: my package is not ready yet, we chat on #launchpad | 22:14 |
| snthtns | [Gentoo]: yes | 22:15 |
| snthtns | no errors | 22:15 |
| [Gentoo] | snthtns: just paste the logs | 22:15 |
| snthtns | there were also kernel headers/images installed | 22:15 |
| [Gentoo] | with a pasting program | 22:15 |
| snthtns | I dont have the logs | 22:15 |
| [Gentoo] | ls -a /var/log there will be lots in there | 22:15 |
| snthtns | I tried to fix it with nvidia-xconfig | 22:15 |
| snthtns | and those logs arent useful | 22:15 |
| [Gentoo] | did you move the new xorg.conf? | 22:16 |
| k1l | snthtns: does the headers match the kernel? | 22:16 |
| [Gentoo] | as it doesnt move it by default | 22:16 |
| snthtns | new x0rg.conf is basic | 22:16 |
| Dr_Willis | i dont even need an xorg.conf for my nvidia setup in most cases | 22:16 |
| snthtns | I dont think its used | 22:16 |
| reisio | it is if it is, and not if it isn't :) | 22:16 |
| [Gentoo] | for nouveau you dont but nvidia most of the time you need one | 22:16 |
| snthtns | all I have are consoles | 22:16 |
| Dr_Willis | I definatly have not needed an xorg.conf for my nvidia drivers | 22:17 |
| Dr_Willis | only time i have one is when i enable twinview or do other tweaks | 22:17 |
| k1l | if we could see some logs there would be no need to search in the dark | 22:17 |
| Dr_Willis | at least not since 12.10 or so ;) | 22:17 |
| snthtns | I suppose I will download a system recsue cd | 22:17 |
| Johnny_Linux | my toaster has twin view | 22:17 |
| [Gentoo] | well nvidia-xconfig wont hurt | 22:17 |
| snthtns | k1l: I don't have the logs man | 22:17 |
| k1l | Johnny_Linux: i thought we had an agreement on the nonsense | 22:17 |
| [Gentoo] | should generate a good basic config | 22:17 |
| snthtns | they are useless | 22:17 |
| Johnny_Linux | okok k1l | 22:18 |
| k1l | snthtns: you dont have them? or do you think they are useless? | 22:18 |
| snthtns | says unknown screen | 22:18 |
| k1l | snthtns: just hand them over so we can decide if its useless or not. | 22:18 |
| snthtns | I have them, but its after I modified my X0rg.conf | 22:18 |
| snthtns | How the hell do I upload them from a console | 22:18 |
| Dr_Willis | via the pastebinit command snthtns | 22:18 |
| k1l | !pastebinit | snthtns | 22:18 |
| ubottu | snthtns: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 22:19 |

| Johnny_Linux | sheesh | 22:19 |
| [Gentoo] | runs away all giddy | 22:20 |

| Haymaker | Since I installed Ubuntu 13.04 my battery only get half charged no matter how long I leave computer plugged-in. any idea how to fix this? | 22:22 |
| holstein | ubuntuserver *is* ubuntu.. so if you have added a desktop, you basically have ubuntu now | 22:22 |
| reisio | Haymaker: how are you determining that? | 22:22 |
| [Gentoo] | johnrb: if it needs to be run once use a local script | 22:22 |
| holstein | Haymaker: graphics drivers, maybe.. or many not at all ...if you are comparing to a supported operating system | 22:22 |
| Haymaker | battery status | 22:22 |
| johnrb | it needs to be run once at startup | 22:23 |
| johnrb | by root | 22:23 |
| [Gentoo] | johnrb: rc.local is better way than cron for that | 22:23 |
| smaudet | Haymaker: 1) check that your battery charge capacity hasn't gone down 2) turn off all visual effects 3) use up-to-date graphics drivers | 22:23 |
| k1l | Haymaker: old batteries cant get to full charge. so its a regular progress for batteries to take less charge while getting older | 22:23 |
| Haymaker | this is a new computer | 22:23 |
| johnrb | [Gentoo]: so shouldnt use a crontab? I was having issue using rc.local not sure why. | 22:24 |
| smaudet | Haymaker: how new? | 22:24 |
| Haymaker | 6 months | 22:24 |
| smaudet | That sounds reasonable | 22:24 |
| smaudet | Your battery could be going. | 22:24 |
| akinanub | so im the only one with a mac overheating on ubuntu? | 22:24 |
| [Gentoo] | johnrb: well rc.local is for scripts running at boot, if your way is working then no point changing it | 22:24 |
| holstein | akinanub: same thing as above.. graphics drivers might help | 22:24 |
| smaudet | macbook air's battery dies in...what, a year? | 22:24 |
| smaudet | So in half a year easy, battery could have degraded | 22:25 |
| akinanub | no i already tried that, I start up from efi too but it still gets a little hotter on ubuntu then osx | 22:25 |
| reisio | anyways, I'd check something other than the GUI you're looking at | 22:25 |
| johnrb | [Gentoo]: ok i wanted to know if there was a downside i didnt know about, I had it in rc.local but for some reason it was not working and cron was the only other thing I could think of | 22:26 |
| johnrb | [Gentoo]: ty | 22:26 |
| Haymaker | thanks | 22:26 |
| [Gentoo] | johnrb: make sure theres no typos in it, but rc.local is what i would use | 22:26 |
| xyz123 | how do you go about backing-up Samba users and passwords? | 22:27 |
| holstein | akinanub: osx is what the vendor officially supports.. you should expect "compromises" | 22:27 |
| johnrb | [Gentoo]: I'll try it again, its in my env/var so I should just have to add "hptsvr" to rc.local correct? Or is that a newbie mistake and the reason it was not working in rc.local | 22:28 |
| akinanub | damn, i like linux so much more but im worried itll hurt the battery runnng it for too long | 22:29 |
| Dr_Willis | rc.local is ran as root at boot time.. If you want to set a variable for the USER - you need to do it in their bash configs. NOT rc.local | 22:29 |
| [Gentoo] | johnrb: make a script and chmod +x it, and put the path to the script in the rc.local file | 22:29 |
| holstein | !language | 22:29 |
| ubottu | Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 22:29 |
| holstein | akinanub: no need to be "worried".. try other drivers, and see if you can get better support | 22:29 |
| Dr_Willis | there are the /etc/bash.bashrc and other bash config files to put in settings for system variables and so forth for the users shells | 22:29 |
| cofffeebean | " linux will or can ruin a battery " ??.. | 22:30 |
| akinanub | oh no way, this is a real thing? | 22:30 |
| Dr_Willis | cofffeebean: useing a battery can ruin a battery. from my experience | 22:30 |
| johnrb | [Gentoo]: I did, and it was +x but i added "hptsvr" not "/usr/bin/hptsvr" | 22:30 |
| holstein | akinanub: on my macbook, it gets hotter,the battery life is shorter, and the webcam doesnt work.. but i still prefer, and accept the compromise | 22:30 |
| johnrb | tnx again glad i asked | 22:30 |
| akinanub | im just worried cuz it voids the warranty and they wont replace the battery if it dies cuz of linux heh | 22:30 |
| holstein | akinanub: you can always let the vendor know you are having issues with the hardware in the operating system you are choosing to run | 22:30 |
| holstein | akinanub: you could void a warranty changing OS's | 22:31 |
| reisio | akinanub: that's why you make a dd backup first ;) | 22:31 |
| smaudet | Haymaker: http://www.ifweassume.com/2013/08/the-de-evolution-of-my-laptop-battery.html?bg <-- reference for the macbook air | 22:31 |
| Dr_Willis | HW makers dont support the linux devs and dont supply info. so the kernel makers and other devs cant use the various power saveing tricks that are used by OS-X or Windows | 22:31 |
| cofffeebean | dr wear one out in time yeah ! that goes with everything tho.. | 22:31 |
| akinanub | oh true, i can back it up, restore it, and send it in | 22:31 |
| akinanub | ok ill try different drivers for now | 22:31 |
| Dr_Willis | i alwyas get a new laptop hd when i buy a new laptop. :) and keep the windows HD on a shelf.. and then use the shiny new HD (hopefully a SSD) for my Laptop-linux setup | 22:32 |
| Dr_Willis | bbl | 22:32 |
| smaudet | One would think we'd have enough RE's to figure out what those tricks are. But I suppose they're buried in Windows kernel code somewhere. | 22:34 |

| Johnny_Linux | system monitor | 22:38 |

| akinanub | system monitor works | 22:38 |
| akinanub | this cant be right.... everything is at 0% but the system monitor, and that is fluctuating between 4 and 30% cpu usage | 22:40 |
| Johnny_Linux | try top | 22:40 |
| Johnny_Linux | in terminal | 22:40 |
| holstein | akinanub: that can be right... | 22:40 |
| akinanub | really? | 22:40 |
| akinanub | ubuntu is this efficient? | 22:40 |
| holstein | akinanub: its not ubuntu, friend.. its more than that | 22:40 |
| holstein | akinanub: its driver support.. and what exactly you are doing on the machine | 22:41 |
| Freeder | Is there a way, when using useradd with -m, to create a homedir that is totally blank, as opposed to having .profile, .bashrc, the desktop graphic, etc, created automatically? | 22:41 |

| holstein | akinanub: then, why do you think it should be less than 30%? | 22:42 |
| reisio | Freeder: indeed, not exactly :) | 22:42 |
| akinanub | because only system monitor is taking 30% | 22:42 |
| akinanub | and every other program is at 0% | 22:42 |

| quietone | the installer isn't detecting Vista and I want to dual boot | 23:02 |
| reisio | quietone: what makes you think it isn't detecting it? | 23:02 |
| osubuntu | quietone, than manually add a boot entry | 23:02 |
| osubuntu | or just exit GRUB and it would boot to Vista | 23:02 |
| osubuntu | since Windows also have a bootloader | 23:02 |

| quietone | osubuntu, I don't know the partition type. It is just a Vista box to me | 23:04 |

| osubuntu | quietone, run gparted | 23:04 |
| ayashi | there used to be people who help in this chanel. | 23:04 |
| osubuntu | but do not press Alt + Print Screen + c.... it crashes the kernel | 23:05 |
| osubuntu | but Alt + Print Screen + s is okay :P | 23:05 |
| mathfreak | osubuntu, quietone: I don't think the alternate installer is meant to automatically partition the hard drive for Windows and Linux dual-boot. The regular installers do that, but I don't recall the alternate installers having the same feature. | 23:06 |
| quietone | mathfreak, thx. | 23:06 |
| osubuntu | why alternative installer? just use regular installers, and WUBI doesnt work in my computer since mine is UEFI... | 23:07 |
| mathfreak | The alternate installers are more suited for features that most people usually don't use (e.g. LVM, encrypted partitions, etc) | 23:07 |
| quietone | mathfreak, I want to run LTSP on that machine, but it needs to dual boot for a while | 23:07 |

| reisio | osubuntu: it doesn't load as much, so it's more likely to work | 23:08 |
| reisio | but it also doesn't load as much :) | 23:08 |
| osubuntu | hmm... I used ISO to install Ubuntu.. | 23:08 |
| osubuntu | Is it a 'regular expression'? | 23:08 |
| osubuntu | oh sorry | 23:08 |
| osubuntu | regular installer | 23:08 |
| quietone | anyone know if I can use the desktop install and then install LTSP? | 23:08 |
| quietone | last time I tried that for 10.04 it didn't work. I had to use alternative install | 23:09 |
| mathfreak | quietone: I think you can do that. You can use the regular installer to create the partitions for Windows and Linux | 23:09 |
| reisio | osubuntu: there is a regular one, it isn't called that explicitly, though :) | 23:09 |
| quietone | mathfreak, yes, I need the installed to do the partitioning | 23:09 |
| reisio | quietone: I'm sure you could, but you can no doubt also use the "alternative" | 23:10 |
| reisio | I lost track of the problem... can't find Vista? | 23:10 |
| mathfreak | quietone: I don't have experience with LTSP (so take this with a grain of salt), but it's just a package from the repos you can install to set up what you need, right? | 23:10 |
| osubuntu | reisio, thx | 23:10 |
| osubuntu | btw regualr expression was not joke... | 23:10 |
| ironfoot495 | mladoux: are you buzy? | 23:10 |
| quietone | mathfreak, looks like I will have to try that. | 23:10 |
| quietone | mathfreak, thank you for your time | 23:11 |
| mathfreak | quietone: You're welcome | 23:11 |
| iampoz | linux-headers-3.5.0-40 is causing my computer to not boot into unity | 23:18 |
| iampoz | anyone else have this problem? | 23:18 |
| iampoz | I also get some error about the main drive not mounting on the splash screen, but this is a hit and miss | 23:18 |
| iampoz | anyone here? | 23:20 |
| bekks | iampoz: several hundreds of people. | 23:21 |
| bekks | !anyone | iampoz | 23:21 |
| ubottu | iampoz: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 23:21 |
| iampoz | This is the first time in a long time that updates have been so unstable... I am not sure what the deal is | 23:21 |
| iampoz | I did bekks... it was this: linux-headers-3.5.0-40 is causing my computer to not boot into unity; anyone else have this problem? | 23:22 |
| osubuntu | echo abc | 23:23 |
| osubuntu | !echo abc | 23:23 |
| iampoz | I have been updating by component one by one until my computer stops booting, then restoring with clonezilla and trying again but skipping the update that caused the problem | 23:24 |
| bekks | iampoz: linux-headers is not causing it. the package contains just a lot of header files which are not even necessary to boot. | 23:24 |
| bekks | iampoz: Most likely, the linux-image package is causing the problems due to a broken graphics driver. | 23:24 |
| iampoz | eventually I released that sometimes when I select an update, the ... I stopped becuase what you said makes more sense | 23:25 |
| iampoz | okay, well some how the linux-image package is getting selected when I try to install certain components... I thought it was the headers, but perhaps the image is being installed as well | 23:26 |
| iampoz | so how can I fix the broken graphics driver once I update? | 23:27 |
| iampoz | OR prevent the graphics driver from braking to begin with | 23:28 |
| iampoz | As I am relatively new to ubuntu, can anyone inform me of how often updates are unstable? and if they are eventually fixed? | 23:30 |
| iampoz | ? | 23:31 |
| mathfreak | iampoz: Which version of Ubuntu are you running? What video driver are you installing? | 23:31 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Hi. Does Ubuntu provide *verifiable* signatures for downloads? | 23:31 |
| iampoz | 12.04 lts | 23:31 |
| mathfreak | iampoz: What happens at boot? You said something about the hard drive not getting mounted. Do you remember what the screen says exactly? | 23:32 |
| dni | hello all,. can someone help me out with an issue im having please.. im trying to build a source which seems to be dependent on kernel-headers,.. so i've apt-get'd linux-headers-2.6.32-38,linux-headers-2.6.32-38-generic, linux-headers-generic ?? but the build directory seems to be missing from /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-38-generic/source -> /build/buildd/linux-2.6.32 | 23:33 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | By verifiable I mean either checksums downloadable over a secure channel or some other kind of signature, not just a checksum on a http server. | 23:33 |
| mathfreak | Eduard_Munteanu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto | 23:33 |
| osubuntu | why is ppl good at computer called greek? | 23:33 |
| iampoz | Nvidia has some updates... not sure what the driver is that is being installed or that I have installed. | 23:33 |
| osubuntu | isnt it geek | 23:33 |
| mathfreak | osubuntu: You might want to try #ubuntu-offtopic for those sorts of topics. | 23:34 |
| osubuntu | mathfreak, thx | 23:34 |
| iampoz | The screen says somthing about /tmp not being mounted and that I can press S to skip or M to manually mount (I think manually mount, but I am not sure, manually somthing anyways) | 23:34 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | mathfreak: hm... that links to a http-only checksum file | 23:34 |
| OerHeks | Eduard_Munteanu, setup pgp with ubuntu https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto | 23:35 |
| OerHeks | *ubuntu servers | 23:35 |
| mathfreak | Eduard_Munteanu: Ah, sorry. This one should offer a more complete list. Signatures are passed along with the hashes. | 23:36 |
| mathfreak | Eduard_Munteanu: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ | 23:36 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | OerHeks: ok, but where do I check fingerprints? | 23:36 |
| OerHeks | Eduard_Munteanu, same pages, they appear to be https then | 23:36 |
| iampoz | maybe if I put a list of all the available updates I have, it will be easyer to identify my problem? how to do that? | 23:37 |
| === add1ct3dd is now known as add1ct3dd|away | ||
| Eduard_Munteanu | Um, is there an *official* https-hosted fingerprint? | 23:37 |
| WallFace | How do I install Nero if it's in a zip? | 23:38 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | I mean it's rather useless to get a random key off a keyserver. | 23:38 |
| WallFace | I'm unfamiliar with the codes of Ubuntu 10.04 | 23:38 |
| jrib | !checksums | Eduard_Munteanu | 23:39 |
| mathfreak | Eduard_Munteanu: Well, if you want ultimate security, you have to meet with the people that own the key in person. There is always a risk when you have to get a key online. | 23:39 |
| jrib | !md5sums | Eduard_Munteanu | 23:39 |
| ubottu | Eduard_Munteanu: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. | 23:39 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | mathfreak: that's "basic" security in my book :) | 23:40 |
| mathfreak | Eduard_Munteanu: I think you're stuck then. | 23:40 |
| reisio | WallFace: probably have to unzip it first | 23:40 |
| reisio | WallFace: but I wouldn't bother, there are other apps that you can install normally | 23:41 |
| WallFace | reisio: unsure of how to do that | 23:41 |
| Jeruvy | WallFace The download I'm looking at is a rpm, not a zip. Where did you get it and are you sure its the linux version. | 23:41 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | jrib: thanks. Is that page locked from editing? | 23:41 |
| jrib | Eduard_Munteanu: no. | 23:41 |
| reisio | WallFace: you can double-click it from the file manager, or use 'unzip' from a terminal | 23:41 |
| WallFace | It's Nero Linux in zip | 23:41 |
| WallFace | it's a friends copy | 23:41 |
| iampoz | sooo I guess I should not do any updates? | 23:41 |
| mathfreak | iampoz: What happens when you press 'S' to skip mounting? | 23:41 |
| WallFace | Once I double click it goes to rb and other stuff | 23:41 |
| iampoz | takes me to a command prompt to log in | 23:42 |
| reisio | WallFace: rb? | 23:42 |
| jrib | Eduard_Munteanu: or maybe it is. | 23:42 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | I don't know, how hard is it to provide reasonable checksums on https? | 23:42 |
| jrib | Eduard_Munteanu: not sure :) | 23:42 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | (not to mention md5sums are rather poor) | 23:42 |
| WallFace | deb, rpm, | 23:42 |
| mathfreak | iampoz: Okay, go ahead and log in through the command line. | 23:42 |
| WallFace | reisio deb rpm, those are the 2 folders I see | 23:42 |
| iampoz | I did | 23:42 |
| jrib | Eduard_Munteanu: yeah, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes is locked | 23:43 |
| reisio | WallFace: Ubuntu is Debian based | 23:43 |
| iampoz | everything works aside from any graphics | 23:43 |
| reisio | WallFace: I suggest installing brasero or k3b from software center instead, though | 23:43 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | h. | 23:43 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | *Ah. | 23:43 |
| WallFace | A movie file I tried to put on a dvd | 23:43 |
| WallFace | it didn't wor | 23:43 |
| WallFace | work | 23:44 |
| jrib | Eduard_Munteanu: also see the *SUMS files here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.04/ | 23:44 |
| WallFace | reisio: | 23:44 |
| WallFace | I got it man | 23:44 |
| mathfreak | iampoz: Do you have the packages for Unity installed? | 23:44 |
| reisio | WallFace: what didn't work? | 23:44 |
| WallFace | my common sense | 23:44 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | jrib: I see... unfortunately unless I can get a fingerprint for those .gpg files, the SUMS files are rather useless since it doesn't support https. | 23:45 |
| mathfreak | iampoz: You can check by typing 'apt-cache show unity' | 23:45 |
| iampoz | yes, unless the updates somehow uninstall any unity packages currently installed | 23:45 |
| jrib | Eduard_Munteanu: presumably the key that you need to trust is available somewhere. I don't know where. | 23:46 |
| iampoz | http://pastebin.com/S9s1vzQx | 23:46 |
| WallFace | Wanted to thank you reisio for your help | 23:48 |
| mathfreak | iampoz: Sorry about this. I meant 'aptitude show unity' | 23:48 |
| reisio | WallFace: :) | 23:48 |
| WallFace | Quick question to eveyone, is there a way to turn mp4 or other file formats to ISO? | 23:48 |
| iampoz | its okay, I appreciate your help | 23:48 |
| reisio | WallFace: to DVD-Video? | 23:48 |
| WallFace | yea | 23:49 |
| reisio | WallFace: nope | 23:49 |
| jrib | Eduard_Munteanu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto tells you the key you need to trust | 23:49 |
| reisio | WallFace: dvd-video is an ancient format | 23:49 |
| reisio | WallFace: you have to re-encode the mp4 to the antiquated mpeg-2 | 23:49 |
| reisio | and do other black magicks | 23:49 |
| WallFace | shiet | 23:49 |
| reisio | I highly recommend not wasting your time on it, get something that can play video files off a usb stcik | 23:49 |
| WallFace | I want to put this on a dvd player | 23:49 |
| WallFace | I might have to resort to Windows... | 23:49 |
| reisio | I know, but you should consider replacing your dvd player with a smart tv or computer | 23:50 |
| c2tarun | Hi friends, I installed chromium on my Ubuntu 12.04. It somehow activated some keyring password. Now everytime I login into my machine I have to enter that keyring password. What is it? and how can I disable it? | 23:50 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | jrib: I read through that... I might as well not check a checksum because they suggest getting them through unsecure channels. | 23:50 |
| reisio | it'll save you massive amounts of time and heartbreak | 23:50 |
| WallFace | Yea | 23:50 |
| iampoz | mathfreak: http://pastebin.com/YDs59znS | 23:50 |
| jrib | Eduard_Munteanu: suggest getting what through insecure channels? | 23:50 |
| mathfreak | Eduard_Munteanu: How do you normally get your keys? | 23:50 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | jrib: the checksum, signatures and keys | 23:51 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | mathfreak: normally you get a checksum over https, unless you have a rather solid web of trust. | 23:51 |
| jrib | Eduard_Munteanu: well all you need is to obtain the key securely, no? | 23:51 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | jrib: yep | 23:51 |
| jrib | Eduard_Munteanu: does gpg not do that (I don't know)? | 23:51 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | jrib: no | 23:52 |
| WallFace | Thanks again reisio | 23:52 |
| mathfreak | iampoz: Can you run 'aptitude show lightdm'? | 23:52 |
| jrib | Eduard_Munteanu: ok. Suppose it does. Why should you trust the key anyway? | 23:52 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | jrib: I trust that Ubuntu signed the download, that's all. | 23:53 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | That's all a secure signature says. | 23:53 |
| jrib | Eduard_Munteanu: I don't see why. | 23:53 |
| mathfreak | Eduard_Munteanu: Would you be happy if we shared with you the fingerprint of the cdimage@ubuntu.com key that we already have from the CD? | 23:53 |
| jrib | Eduard_Munteanu: you don't know that the key is from ubuntu | 23:53 |
| mathfreak | Eduard_Munteanu: That way when you download the key off a keyserver, you can check the fingerprint | 23:53 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | jrib: if I obtained from https://www.ubuntu.com, I'm pretty sure | 23:53 |
| iampoz | mathfreak: http://pastebin.com/TFuGTaLa | 23:53 |
| jrib | Eduard_Munteanu: sure | 23:54 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | mathfreak: against what? A plain http page? | 23:54 |
| jrib | Eduard_Munteanu: I thought we were supposing you grabbed the key securely from the random key server | 23:54 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | jrib: the keyserver can't really give me the key securely, unless some other signature proves it is authentic | 23:55 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Either web of trust or HTTPS. | 23:55 |
| mathfreak | You can check the fingerprint of the key from the keyserver using gpg. We can share with you the fingerprint of the key that's on our own machines (although this still leaves a hole, in that you can't really trust us over IRC) | 23:55 |
| jrib | Eduard_Munteanu: right, that's what I was trying to get at. But we were thinking of different hypotheticals :P | 23:55 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | mathfreak: I know, but the point still remains :) | 23:56 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | It's pretty easy to publish the damn key on https. :) | 23:56 |
| jrib | Eduard_Munteanu: you could open up a bug (there's a note about editing that wiki page with the hashes in the footer; start there), and see what the response is | 23:56 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Ah. | 23:56 |
| jrib | Eduard_Munteanu: though you did get secured md5sums | 23:57 |
| mathfreak | iampoz: What happens when you try to run 'lightdm'? | 23:57 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Sorry if I'm a bit edgy but I had the same conversation on Debian, and someone explained the archive keys on https that sign a deb that sign a bazillion other thing that then sign a CD release key that then signs my ISO. WTF. :) | 23:57 |
| iampoz | it starts loading a bunch of stuff, most say [OK] | 23:58 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | jrib: sort of :) | 23:58 |
| jrib | Eduard_Munteanu: why do you say that? | 23:58 |
| iampoz | it just stops at some point and does not do anything... | 23:58 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | jrib: yeah, I was nitpicking at MD5 calling itself a checksum these days, but for most purposes it's ok. | 23:58 |
| jrib | Eduard_Munteanu: I see | 23:59 |
| iampoz | sometimes it stops on a screen and says somthing about "Starting load fallback graphics devices [fail]" | 23:59 |
| jrib | Eduard_Munteanu: well the hashes, you received securely. Whether they are of value... | 23:59 |
| dimitry7 | Hello Guys! I have uninstalled open office but merely just erased it.... It is not in my system anymore but I still see it when I do # dpkg -l | grep openoffice | 23:59 |
| dimitry7 | How can I do to delete it from dpkg installed packages list? | 23:59 |
| iampoz | not sure if it is consistent everytime | 23:59 |
