[00:00] I have been messing around with trying to get these updates to work for a few days now [00:00] It's also funny how debootstrap completely ignores you're missing the key, unless you notice the warning. [00:00] I erased it because I had no choise, apt-get nor aptitude worked [00:00] iampoz: I suppose that means you already ran sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade, then? [00:00] yes [00:01] iampoz: Okay. before we go on to check video drivers, can you tell me what happens when you press ctrl+alt+F7? Feel free to try ctrl+alt+F8/F6 as well [00:01] although at the very end I get this: "[1]+ Stopped sudo apt-get update" [00:01] buenas tardes [00:02] iampoz: That last line should be fine. It just tells you that it's done with what it was doing. [00:02] rtorres, buenas las tengas y mejor las pases [00:03] ctrl alt f6 takes me to the screen with the command prompt asking to log in [00:03] f7 and f8 does nothing [00:04] I got back by sudo lightdm [00:04] rtorres, se espantó con el alb{ur [00:04] iampoz: What do you mean by getting back by sudo lightdm? [00:05] back to the normal desktop or what I assumed to be called unity [00:05] iampoz: That's what it's called. [00:05] presumably he restarted lightdm [00:05] yup, thats what I think i did [00:05] f6 must stop lightdm [00:06] iampoz: ... F6 alone? [00:06] sorry, ctrl alt f6 [00:06] iampoz: Oh, no no. ctrl+alt+(function key) just brings you to another session (I forgot the exact vocabulary for it). [00:06] alguien que sepa eliminar carpetas con error "Permission denied" [00:06] iampoz: It's handy when you want to use additional terminals when a graphical desktop isn't available.

Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [00:08] iampoz: I have the feeling that it might be something with your mounts at boot that's preventing lightdm from starting. Hopefully, someone a bit more knowledgeable than I can confirm this. [00:08] rtorres: `sudo ` [00:08] right now unity is working...

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?

[00:10] c2tarun: Probably the GNOME keyring. Did you set it to something different than your username and password? [00:10] no a virtual server, im root in this machine [00:11] c2tarun: s/username and/ [00:11] rtorres: Is something else mounted into ...tmp?

You can update your system now. [00:13] iampoz: Feel free to ask others about the /tmp mount issue, though. [00:14] well I will try rebooting, if it works then I will update the remaining 16 and hope it reboots after that [00:14] rtorres: What does `stat client1/web1/tmp` say? [00:14] rtorres: Ummm, those are not permissions. Try [ ls -la /var/www ] ] [00:14] Here's a good example: https://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/releng/ [00:14] if not then I will probobly be back sunday...

I have a not so new netbook, it is 1.6GHz and 2MB of RAM with HD of 140GB... it is currently with Windows XP, but I was thinking on switching to Linux. Do you guys think Xubuntu 13.04 will have a better performance on it? Or should I stick with XP or maybe a different version of Linux? Thanks, [01:06] LMessi10__: I hope not 2 MB O_o [01:09] LMessi10__: Xubuntu should be quite a good move, maybe even one of the Linux Mint versions. you could definitely do with getting off XP since support ends in April. [01:09] SonikkuAmerica, haha I meant 2GB haha [01:10] LMessi10__: Yeah, Xubuntu is good.

[03:41] wallzero: gj [03:41] wallzero: sorry, that guy leaves fast :p [03:41] caviezel: suppah [03:41] recovery mode I built in the changes I need, and with startx it works as I want [03:41] fully working [03:41] root_gnewsense_o: okay where did you build the kernel? Where did you place it? [03:42] Just chilling watching Jimmy Kimmel. [03:42] vboxadd createss the new kernel [03:42] but I asume in a ram disk [03:42] which is lost on reboot [03:42] root_gnewsense_o: vboxadd? [03:43] virtual box build tool, i'm running XP as a host [03:43] caviezel, If you want to chat #ubuntu-offtopic [03:44] Ok [03:44] My bad. [03:44] I had to explicitly donload the kernel headers etc... [03:44] but it runs fine [03:44] caviezel, wasn't sure what you wanted just info [03:44] I guess this is a normal problem across flavous [03:44] of linux [03:44] Anyone help? - i seem to have a problem on ubuntu 13.04, my network-manager is gone and going under system settings >Network gives me an error called "The system network serviced are not compatible with this version" [03:45] root_gnewsense_o: not really following you, but if you built something related to a kernel, it exists in a file system somewhere [03:45] root_gnewsense_o: you need only copy it from there to where you want it [03:45] does ubuntu have recovery mode ? [03:45] root_gnewsense_o: using scp would probably be simple, as would be using VirtualBox's guest additions to mount a share [03:45] root_gnewsense_o: yes [03:46] yes I thought the whole point of recovery was to change the REAL system [03:46] you should still be accessing the "real" system in recovery mode [03:46] just less of it at once [03:46] VirtualBox's guest additions is what I want in the normal mode [03:47] good day! May I ask what is the best tools for file sharing? [03:47] root_gnewsense_o: oh is that all? [03:47] it seems to forget all my work (because I am only modifying the RAM disk) [03:47] root_gnewsense_o: http://wvarner.blogspot.com/2008/05/installing-virtualbox-guest-additions.html [03:48] I have installed it [03:48] and USED it [03:48] okay [03:48] in the RAM diisk [03:48] anyone gonna help me?

[04:01] root_gnewsense_o: try the #ubuntu-offtopic channel for chat [04:01] so many OS's [04:01] thanks [04:02] while I am here what is the opinion og ubuntu versus gnewsense ? [04:03] I found ubuntu slow and greedy [04:04] root_gnewsense_o: this is the ubuntu support channel.. you are free to compare the 2.. ubuntu has other official versions, such as lubuntu, that are "lighter".. ubuntu is not intended to be light [04:05] !lubuntu [04:05] lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [04:05] is gnewsense new ? I'm not biased, yet [04:06] root_gnewsense_o: its just not supported here, friend.. [04:06] not allow to chat about anyhing other ? [04:06] root_gnewsense_o: you are mentioning an OS that is not supported, or discussed here. .you can try and instigate a discussion about it in the channel i suggested. otherwise, this is ubuntu support [04:07] I'm trying to decide [04:07] root_gnewsense_o: correct.. please see the /topic and visit #ubuntu-offtopic to chat [04:07] ok i'm not wanted ;O( [04:07] root_gnewsense_o: that is *not* the case at all [04:08] root_gnewsense_o: non-ubuntu support is not wanted here.. but, is freely welcome in the channel i suggested, and the /topic suggests officially [04:09] but there are no users there [04:09] as a php developer what should i know about ubuntu [04:09] to chat or not to chat, that is the question [04:09] root_gnewsense_o: then, you are in the incorrect channel [04:09] root_gnewsense_o: #ubuntu-offtopic is busy, right now.. and you are not in it [04:10] there is the rub [04:10] it's all LINUX, I have never seen so much falvourism [04:10] get a grip [04:11] root_gnewsense_o: ?

[04:17] holstein, what are the permissions for /etc? [04:17] anton02: mount -rw -o remount / [04:18] holstein: its already mounted [04:18] R0b0t1: what are you trying to do?

[04:20] XReaper: lolarch [04:20] anton02, I can't, because my permissions on /etc are wrong, which prevents me from sudoing, which prevents me from changing the permissions on /etc [04:20] so [04:20] you see my dilemma [04:21] R0b0t1: you recover the password with the link i gave.. [04:21] how did etc permissions get changed [04:21] yeah [04:21] anton02: I accidentally [04:21] now, pls sir, what are you permissions on /etc [04:21] 755? [04:21] yes 755 [04:22] R0bot1: you could boot a live disk that gives you sudo permissions [04:22] R0b0t1: http://askubuntu.com/questions/123341/what-are-the-standard-file-permissions-for-the-etc-directoryfile [04:23] Anyone rune ps3media server?

See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [04:37] thanks ill let you know the results in a but [04:38] there always is a title bar on chromium, how can I make it disappear. I'm using Xubuntu 13.04. [04:39] momodi, I believe it is in the preferences [04:39] momodi: you can try right click on the window decoration and "use system title bar and borders".. or yeah, i think its in the menu somewhere too [04:39] Ubuntu Packages - For whatever reason, Ubuntu has stopped updating Kismet in their repositories. [04:40] the thing about this is it seem to require me to get to the grub boot loader, my system won't even get to that [04:40] it works fine on the live cd though [04:40] DamianDarc, You using the shift key to show grub? [04:40] apb1963_: they dont just roll.. you get security updates.. i think firefox tries to roll now but thats it AFAIK.. [04:40] I searched a lot about this, finally I found a software "maximus" can do this, but maximus do this on my all apps, I only want this works on chromium [04:40] roll? [04:41] momodi: you tried unticking the box? [04:41] yes grub won't event load [04:41] rollimg release [04:41] rolling* [04:41] im using 13.04 [04:41] DamianDarc, Have you modified grub and are you pressing that key as soon as you power on? [04:41] apb1963_: rolling releases just get new packages as they come and are released.. ubuntu is more of a frozen in time kind of thing [04:42] ok, that makes sense holstein [04:42] DamianDarc: i would test the hardware at that point.. did you get a live desktop to come up? [04:42] I have not modified grub at all ys im pressing this key from when it turns on. This is after a fresh install and there were no errors in the install [04:42] So is that why kismet isn't being updated? [04:43] apb1963_: thats what im suggesting that only security updates to that version will come in, as for all packages [04:43] DamianDarc, Did you install with a usb, and is there more than one HD? [04:43] ok [04:43] apb1963_: folks add ppa's, which are unsupported officially, for newer packages [04:43] there are 2 Hard drives, a sata an an IDE one I installe using a disk [04:43] ppa's?

I booted from seond hard drive and it worked [04:47] so... is there a recommendation for a wireless package? I don't have any particular objective in mind other than to see what's out on the airwaves I guess? Make sure my card is working, learn a little maybe. Nothing too intense, just some light spying I guess maybe? One thing for sure, I'd like to see what my own router is putting out. [04:47] apb1963_: no [04:47] Thank so much [04:47] lilcyber: playing with pipelight for netflix [04:47] ok [04:47] apb1963_: you can try something like backtrack or kali which are not supported here and ot [04:48] DamianDarc, Cool you can make sure that the drive it is on is the has grub is inn its mbr with sudo grub-install /dev/sdX X is that HD's letter like sda or sdb . [04:48] just run a sudo update-grub afterward [04:49] I took a quick look at iwconfig and iwspy... said "hmm..." and started poking around for info on the net.... TMI... nothing stuck out at me. [04:49] I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu with Gnome3 and things were working great until I had to deal with NetworkManager - When I click it and then choose "Network Settings" I wait and nothing happens at all. Nothing ever comes up. Is there a lot somewhere I should be checking? [04:50] jorvis, This the gnome 3 version I forget the name or an additional desktop? [04:51] wilee-nilee: not sure of the distinction. I just didn't like Unity and followed a tutorial to install gnome-shell instead [04:52] nah, those are penetration tools.. I guess I'm looking for more of a discovery tool [04:52] I want the discovery channel :) [04:52] jorvis, Not sure why its not showing the network settings, however the secondary desktop will use what you have done in the unity desktop for example a autologin to wifi,. [04:52] apb1963_: those tools will be at those resources as well, and ot and unsupported here [04:52] discovery channel is awesome [04:53] jorvis, Can I see that tutorial? [04:53] wilee-nilee: Yeah, it's autoconnecting my wireless just fine. I just need to set up VPN now [04:53] you mean discovery is included in the packages? [04:53] so what's supported? [04:53] lilcyber, #ubuntu-offtopic is your place [04:54] apb1963_: i mean, your desktop operating system is working as promised.. the tools you are looking for are at the sources i have suggested [04:54] wilee-nilee: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/04/gnome-3-8-ppa-for-ubuntu-gnome [04:54] apb1963_ what are you trying to do exactly? [04:54] alright thanks wilee-nilee [04:54] ehci-pci xhci-jcd causing seg fault. wat do [04:54] anyone know of them troll fuckers? [04:54] yeah you and you [04:54] come to newly created #trollcombat [04:55] SchrodingersScat: See what's out there... see what my router is putting out on the airwaves.... and if anyone else is out there... [04:56] and see if my card is doing what it's supposed to be doing [04:56] apb1963_: and, none of that is a feature of ubuntu, so its OT here, and not supported, but, you should explore kali if interested [04:56] ok, thank you [04:56] apb1963_: you are online.. thats what the manufacterer said it would do [04:56] jorvis, Only problem is that is a ppa, officially not supported here, the gnome shell 3.6 is in the repos. If you need to remove it use ppapurge [04:56] I'm not using the wireless to get online [04:57] wilee-nilee: that's scary at this point, I'm about to travel for a week and don't want to break everything right before I go. Are there no logs for network manager I can check? [04:57] jorvis, Does not mean no one will help, I'm just not sure of the fix is all. [04:58] jorvis, I tried the 3.8 a while back and found some problems, however 13.10 has it. [04:59] so there is a development in the repos fpr 13.10, not sure on it in 13.04 is all now jorvis [04:59] wilee-nilee: Ok, thanks. I'll keep hunting then [04:59] jorvis, Cool [05:01] wilee-nilee: Some logging seems to be found via this command, but nothing is written there when I try to open network settings: grep -i networkmanager /var/log/syslog [05:03] jorvis, you can navigate to it and just open it. [05:03] Open what? [05:03] jorvis, /var/log/syslog [05:04] Oh, I have no problem reading it from the commandline. I see entries there, just nothing new when I reproduce the error [05:04] Doh I missed the networkmanager [05:05] If I format a External USB HD to ext4, it's no longer writeable, how can I make it writeable to whatever device I connect it to? [05:05] caf4926: it depends on what other Os/device you wanna branch it? [05:06] caf4926: you can either chown it, or change fstab [05:06] or both [05:06] it's a portable HD and it will be used on multiple Linux machines [05:07] caf4926, http://askubuntu.com/questions/158735/how-to-set-permissions-so-that-i-can-read-and-write-to-another-partition [05:07] also you might want to put a little FAT or NTFS partition on it, so if it's plugged into a Windows box, Windows doesn't immediately ask the user if they want to format it [05:07] caf4926, check the others advice as well. [05:07] will it be readable for mcs too like this? [05:07] macs [05:08] well, neither Windows nor Mac OS support ext out of the box, AFAIK [05:08] chown to everyone? [05:08] oh wait, Lion has native ext support [05:08] so just Windows won't [05:08] cool [05:08] I don't use windows [05:08] but seriously, if you plug an ext drive into Windows, it will ask immediately if you want to FORMAT IT [05:09] reisio: how about other linux Os that doesnt use ext4? [05:09] so either keep an eye on your portable drives, or include at least one tiny partition that Windows understands [05:09] lotuspsychje: will assume it's ext2/3 [05:09] ok [05:09] in which case it'll either mount normally, mount not quite so normally, or not at all :) [05:09] but probably the former === nexus is now known as Guest29823 [05:11] anyone on an ancient Linux box that can't get an ext4 FS to mount will know why, and how to fix it, though :) [05:15] chmod 777 >path did it thanks wilee-nilee [05:16] !yay | caf4926 [05:16] caf4926: Glad you made it! :-) [05:17] *I have done it before on another one but couldn't just remember [05:17] any advice of what tool will i use for file sharing on ubuntu 12.04?

[06:13] schmok: good luck! mostly recovery from grub might work [06:14] schmock: it's the same place, just different options but yeah try to get a picture of where it fails if you need to hit up the chat again, more specific errors = more chance we know what might be wrong [06:14] schmock: depending on what went wrong of course [06:16] schmock: and even a better idea, single install ubuntu on your laptop and loose windows once and for good :p [06:16] lotuspsychje: nowayride: Alright. I'll give it a shot. If I come back here, I hope I will be able to provide something more specific as the logic behind more details = higher chance of success is something I do understand. :) [06:16] schmock: good luck [06:17] lotuspsychje: I am not ready for that yet... ;) Also: so far I tried ubuntu only through wubi and it has been rather nervwrecking at times... And win 7 had proven to be a good security line to be able to do at least something with my laptop. :D [06:18] schmock: i really recommend making an ubuntu live usb with diskcreator [06:19] schmock: also, 12.04 is pretty good bet for server BTW. If you need GUI stuff desktop is fine, but server 12.04 is LTS meaning it will be updated long after 12.10 and even 13.04 go out. [06:19] schmock: ubuntu will be far more stable then your win7 and more secure [06:19] ^ Desktop for 12.10 and 13.04 and stuff [06:20] lotuspsychje: that's why I am still willing to give it another go :) [06:20] lotuspsychje: Win 7 really isn't that bad on stability, well if you don't download crudware, but yeah schmock Ubuntu is nice and secure :) [06:20] schmock: and if you come back in chat here we will help you around [06:20] You get loads more control over what your OS does too [06:20] nowayride: I just also have to be able to handle that.... ;) [06:20] nowayride: we can discuss w7 in ot mate :p [06:21] Hehe that's okay :P [06:21] can anybody help out a noob with an fgrlx driver issue? [06:21] am42: what goes wrong for you mate? [06:21] nowayride: lotuspsychje: ok, I'll give it a try then! Thanks a lot for the quick and friendly help! Much appreciated! :) [06:22] schmock: anytime!

'its dead Jim!' [06:43] hi , I read the release note , but I still can't understand technically on it.What is Enablement Stack means ? I saw a new roll out of 12.04.3 release today [06:44] May I know what's the difference Enablement Stack on kernel ? [06:46] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack This? [06:47] Updated kernel and stuff to support new hardware on 12.04.X from what im reading. [06:49] bbl [06:49] Dr_Willis : which and what kind of new hardware needed it ? Since I plan to upgrade my pc [06:49] Dr_Willis : It doesn't list down which hardware required for the release [06:50] ssh over the net ? I have it working over the LAN, what might I need to do to enable it over the net? [06:51] !ssh | caf4926 [06:51] caf4926: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [06:51] caf4926: if it's working over LAN and not internet, you probably need to set port forwarding on your router. [06:52] nowayride: I figured. But how would I address the server [06:53] How do you mean? You'd just access it from your WAN IP [06:54] nowayride: let me clarify... I ask because I have a client who I visit for the first time on Monday and I want to get this clear in my head [06:55] nowayride: I have a feeling it's going to matter that his ISP uses dynamic addresses [06:56] His? No. The address you connect from doesn't matter, the address you connect to does [06:56] The exception is if he has firewall rules for outbound traffic, but it's very unlikely he will be firewalling SSH to a server [06:57] nowayride: His IP from his ISP is dynamic [06:57] caf4926: you are connecting from a computer via ssh TO a server? [06:57] on his server [06:57] sorry [06:58] Is his server what's on the dynamic address? [06:58] nowayride: yes [06:59] Okay so he's setting up a server on a dynamic address from his ISP, and wants people from other locations to connect to his dynamic IP from SSH? [06:59] nowayride: :-) yes [06:59] May I know what's the difference Enablement Stack on kernel 12.04.3 vs 12.04 ? which new hardware required the new kernel ? [07:00] That's generally not a good idea for reliability, but one option is he could use something like dyndns to keep a record of his IP, but generally you can't always rely on a home connection [07:00] nowayride: this is what I figured [07:01] nowayride: As I understand it, he has data processing running on the machine and needs to access it [07:01] Dyndns is his best bet though, if the odd outage is acceptible. It seems like ISP IPs don't change around as much as they use to (I've had an IP for half a year at a time on TWC) [07:02] It's not a guarantee but as long as he has an internet connection dyndns should keep the IP record updated [07:03] nowayride: I did wonder if the data could be stored in a cloud for access [07:03] how do I calibrate the color profile in ubuntu? [07:04] hi [07:04] through the command line would be best [07:05] i'm having trouble installing ubuntu 12.04. I can boot it up but i never get to the setup.

I can click on it in the menu (I'm using MATE in case that's relevant), or I can try to click on a media file, but it still won't work... :( When I try to run it from the command line, it spits out a few lines of text then it says somthing at the end about a segmentation fault. Could that be the problem? Please help!

I thought it was totally unsupported on ubuntu ? [07:14] atomickitten: and a segfault is the problem for sure, but what's causing the segfault is the key [07:14] I had to add some extra repository thing [07:14] I kinda doubt it has to do with my DE because it won't run from the command line either. Could be wrong though. Assuming you guys know it better than I do... [07:15] atomickitten: I suspect it's going to be that (as an easy explination) as VLC works fine with the supported desktop [07:15] and as mate is pretty much a dead codebase that people are trying to keep a alive [07:15] atomickitten: the command line.....just launches the gui [07:15] another relevant piece of info is that I've run it from MATE a bazillion times before, but it stopped. I have no idea what changed [07:16] well it didn't launch anything when I entered the vlc command [07:17] it just says... [07:17] ...because it segfaults [07:17] VLC media player 2.0.8 Twoflower (revision 2.0.8a-0-g68cf50b) [0x1c2f108] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface.

[07:18] so guys, question: my ubuntu (12.04) doesn't boot on kernels newer than 3.5.0-36 anymore. now i noticed that for those newer kernels there isn't an initrd image when i run sudo update-grub . could this have something to do with it? [07:18] atomickitten have you tried cvlc which won't use any desktop interface [07:18] atomickitten: i think what ikonia says makes sense, vlc should work out of the box on ubuntu [07:18] atomickitten: that way you can have at least a clue it's nothing to do with mate [07:19] I did try it, and it started some kind of other prompt [07:19] atomickitten: ok, so you then have an idea that vlc is working - but the displaying of vlc isn't [07:19] I'm guessing there's some VLC commands I type in there or something. [07:19] sounds like it [07:20] atomickitten: which suggests an issue with the "visual" or "desktop" component [07:20] atomickitten: try it with a different DE and confirm it works/doesn't work there [07:20] but it worked on MATE before. It worked up until really recently, but I don't know what changed that could have caused this [07:20] atomickitten: anything in logs maybe? [07:20] atomickitten: because mate is a dead codebase that no-one is developing for, it's possible that an update to vlc broke it's compatability with the legacy code of mate [07:21] atomickitten: or a mate update, just had a bug/glitch in it, due to it being maintained by other people who may have made a mistake, [07:21] alrighty [07:21] May I know what's the difference Enablement Stack on kernel 12.04.3 vs 12.04 ? which new hardware required the new kernel ? [07:21] atomickitten: try #mate for any other vlc issues [07:21] eg: the function that is "gnome-2-support" the vlc developers may have dropped that function because gnome-2/mate is deae [07:21] dead [07:21] (just as an easy example) [07:21] I'll boot into the default Ubuntu environment [07:21] if that doesn't work, I'll be back [07:22] :\ [07:22] Berengar: what actualy happens when trying to boot a higher kernel? [07:23] lotuspsychje something like kernel panic, root fs not found [07:24] when i look at the boot arguments for the newer kernels it just links to /dev/sda3, for the kernel that works it links to a UUID [07:25] hi guys, i have reinstalled ubuntu 13.04 a couple of weeks ago and i have this issue where the buttons to adjust brightness don't actually change the brightness of the screen, i am using a sony vaio laptop [07:25] Berengar: using uefi?

Windows would show up, but they'd be without borders so I guess there's no window manager running. However, I tried it in LXDE and straight OpenBox and it still didn't run. I think it's safe to say it's not MATE's fault. === _caf4926 is now known as caf4926 [07:34] Could any one help me out in knowing the difference between kernel programming and device driver programming? [07:34] atomickitten: openbox is also not an ubuntu desktop [07:35] well, regardless, I'm pretty certain that's not the problem. [07:35] atomickitten: no you're not certain at all [07:35] vipul_: maybe the dev guys might help you [07:35] This is something I know is possible because I've done it before. I'm not asking to do something that can't be done, I'm just asking how to fix it so it was the way it was before.

Get started here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment [07:35] Okay, cool. BUT VLC worked fine with MATE until recently. [07:36] atomickitten: as I told you that means nothing [07:36] how could it mean anything?

[07:36] how many problems do you get on a daily basis that you've never encountered before?

[07:37] That's a thought [07:38] atomickitten: or an update to the video card module / against your hardware is causing a display problem [07:38] hmm, strange. Rhythmbox won't load either. [07:38] atomickitten: no issues show in your /var/log/syslog.1? [07:38] atomickitten: define "won't load" [07:38] atomickitten: does it segfault ? [07:39] not sure yet, finding out [07:39] by "won't load" I mean, I click on the icon in the menu and nothing happens [07:39] "rhythmbox: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32" [07:39] 32bit.....

Just did a reinstall last week [07:41] atomickitten: try 13.04 64bit and your vlc will work again [07:42] No, but now that you mention it, the one change I made recently was installing a driver for my graphics card. It's AMD. [07:42] and actually, this is probably pretty relevant because this does seem to coincide with the time VLC stopped working at all [07:43] atomickitten would it be fair for me to guess you installed this direct from ati...rather than the ubuntu package manager ? [07:43] yes I did [07:43] :p [07:43] I think I see the problem...... [07:43] I was unaware you could do this through the package manager >.< [07:43] !ati | worth reading atomickitten [07:43] worth reading atomickitten: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [07:44] it's a little dated, but the concepts are still the same [07:44] Crap. I remember seeing that article months ago when I made my first Ubuntu install on this machine.

[07:45] !yay | Berengar [07:45] I suppose I'd need to undo what I installed straight from AMD before I did anything there? [07:45] Berengar: Glad you made it! :-) [07:45] atomickitten: and this is the restult of being a little sloppy, if you can try to use the official tools, official repos etc etc [07:45] Berengar: and found it yourself! [07:45] What's the difference between 12.04 vs 12.04.2 vs 12.04.3 [07:45] To be fair, it's the way I was used to on Windows. Make a new install, go find the vendors sites and start downloading/installing shit. [07:45] atomickitten: hand on heart, I'd clean install this (unless you have important data) and walk through everything you've done but making sure you use the correct processes to set your machine up properly. [07:45] lotuspsychje i have a new problem though :D [07:45] = = [07:45] atomickitten: yeah, that approach will not work in ubuntu [07:46] Berengar: spit it out :p [07:46] Is there a way to add optional menu widgets to the lxpanel? [07:46] jesus, ANOTHER reinstall. Just so I can listen to Daft Punk. It's gonna be a long night. :P [07:46] atomickitten: you don't have to do a new install [07:46] what's daft punk? [07:46] lotuspsychje with the new kernel the network manager doesn't connect automatically to my home wlan anymore. it's not even showing up in the list, i have to use the manual "connect to hidden network" option [07:46] atomickitten: I just think you'd be better off, anything you don't know how to setup, just ask rather than having a guess [07:47] atomickitten: that way the end goal will be stable. [07:47] CountryfiedLinux: a musical group [07:47] I know who CM Punk is [07:47] Technically, I did ask. I asked google. Google gave me the AMD site with their drivers and I thought "Okay sweet. It's that easy!" [07:47] ikonia : May I know what's the difference Enablement Stack on kernel 12.04.3 vs 12.04 ? which new hardware required the new kernel ? [07:48] nbubuntu: check the release notes, [07:48] atomickitten: google is not "asking" it's people storing information, it doesn't mean it's right, has experience, is relevent to your specific situation [07:48] atomickitten: it's a good source of info, but shouldn't be followed blind [07:48] trtue [07:48] Well guys, I appreciate all your help.

[09:00] reisio: yap [09:00] oh, really? [09:00] the hplip site says scanjet is libsane alone [09:01] reisio: What's your point? [09:02] he's a Zombie [09:02] A Vampire, get it right [09:02] wilee-nilee: i got it just ended up installing lubuntu-desktop after i locked the version of synaptic. [09:03] kisuke, Cool I was a little worried I had forgotten the lubuntu or lxde, part I had seen you mention earlier [09:04] what's cracking homebois? [09:04] hi, I'm getting a black screen after GRUB when trying to boot a liveUSB via UEFI [09:04] reisio: Yes I have HPlip installed, & yes I know Scanjet 6300C is 100% sane compliant, so what are you saying? [09:05] voltagex: UEFI! *vomits* [09:05] wilee-nilee: yeah apt-get is adament that lubuntu needs synaptic for lubuntu-desktop, fourtunatly, most *nix systems will run with a nuked drive.

[09:07] reisio: I have done everything short of shaking this baby. [09:08] well this was many years ago, so it may well be saner now? :p [09:08] moments after bricking it I bothered to read the notice that the following if done incorrectly could brick it, so :p [09:08] reisio: I have tested it, the track still works, the scanner still slides, but no lamp turns on & it doesn't scan. [09:09] reisio: I even tried installing an older version of sane. [09:09] know how to do that? [09:10] reisio: so if you would please just tell me how to turn my lamp on? [09:11] I want to see if the lamp is burned out or something. [09:11] I wonder if sane even has a unified lamp toggle command [09:11] does hp-scan do anything? :p [09:12] reisio: xsane has a turn lamp off button, but I want to turn it on.

[09:30] probes 17... [09:30] reisio: ? What part of me are you probing? [09:32] I don't know if they have separate code just for a light test [09:32] I wonder if the hardware even knows how to do that on its own [09:32] what've you been running?

[09:43] I'm looking to install Ubuntu, but I only have 21GB free on my C drive, how much storage does Ubuntu use to install and would it be possible to install it on an external hard drive? [09:43] Guoerkemer, stock ubuntu runs about 6 or 7 gigs not counting data [09:43] it only requires ~6gb for install [09:43] Guoerkemer, external install, but a PITA [09:43] think the setup says 5.7gb of free space === wp123 is now known as wickedpuppy [09:44] 20gb should be fine for dual boot [09:44] cfhowlett what's a PITA?

[09:44] Guoerkemer, google it, amigo [09:44] Once Ubuntu is installed [09:44] Is there still a bricking problem on Samsung ultrabooks, if so, are there specific models affected? [09:45] reisio: the update was to the latest ubuntu, & i don't know how to use scanimage [09:45] mousy, emergency kernel upgrade fixed it (allegedly) ... [09:45] holyguyver: just type 'scanimage' and hit enter, for starters [09:45] Guoerkemer: UBuntu installs a boot loader which appears first when you switch the computer on, it gives you a menu to choose which os to run, by default it'll wait about 10 seconds before booting into Ubuntu, although you can change that [09:46] Alright thanks, I might give it a go, although not really sure yet [09:46] reisio: scanimage: no SANE devices found [09:47] insane ones? :p [09:47] holyguyver: scanimage -L ? === krish is now known as Guest53717 [09:47] reisio: No scanners were identified.

[11:46] My DIY NAS crashed this morning, and I could find the following in my logs: http://dpaste.com/1355022/ How can I identify the actual problem ? [11:46] MonkeyDust I booted from USB, it worked then. Now it seems to be broken [11:46] max64: sometimes. Depends on how clean your room is, if you dust often if you have long hair (trust me on that one, I have long hair and everytime I take it to get cleaned ~once a year they pull out 15m of my hair out of it [11:47] borsuk what seems to be broken? the usb stick? [11:47] :D [11:47] MonkeyDust Can't really tell. When I try to boot it, the old Ubuntu starts [11:48] MonkeyDust (and I set the BIOS to boot from USB) [11:48] borsuk first find out what goes wrong, then repair it [11:48] borsuk is the usb stick physically damaged? [11:49] MonkeyDust :D yeah, but how can I check what is broken? The usb disk seems to be alright. [11:50] borsuk disk or stick? [11:50] MonkeyDust It seems like Ubuntu on USB "knows" that Ubuntu is already installed [11:50] MonkeyDust stick [11:51] have a friend with a "windows dead" computer (AMD Athlon XP 1800+ 1.53 GHz, 512 MB RAM) .... tried lubuntu which works ok in live mode but crashes during install... how to proceed? [11:52] zizazi, we'd need more information on the crash - but remember the live cd doesn't need the hdd to work - so if the hdd is faulty that's why the live cd works but installing doesn't [11:52] zizazi: I had the same yesterday, went to install the 13.04 mini.iso, and installed ubuntu-desktop afterwards [11:52] zizazi, and a possibility for why windows doesn't work now [11:53] lantizia: windows works but is extremely slow [11:53] hello, I am trying to install this https://launchpad.net/indicator-sysmonitor , better to download .deb file and install or adding a PPA and install via terminal? [11:54] lantizia: crash with lubuntu does not allow me to get info after; i get message saying i will be able to report bla bla but no it doesnt happen, i can only force shutdown manually [11:54] X-User: up to you, the PPA would keep it updated though [11:54] But that's an extra PPA too (not that it matters much) [11:54] zizazi, did the graphical install manage to appear or is this before that? [11:55] yes graphical install ok [11:55] ihre: thanks; that's maybe an idea for me to try [11:56] i install my ubuntu every time using the mini.iso method - but i'm picky about what I want installed :) [11:56] nowayride, the last update for that software was in 2012-06-30 , so I don't think that the developer is still active. [11:56] namely MATE :P [11:56] zizazi: "crashes during install" isn't terribly helpful. What *exactly* happens? [11:56] hello [11:56] X-User: some software can go a few years without update, but yeah .deb wouldn't be a bad idea for stuff like that [11:57] what are minimum requirements for mini iso? also what comes by default? gui?

I tried $ cat /etc/resolv.conf but it says it's dynamic set? [11:58] nowayride, ok, thanks. [11:59] gordonjcp: install goes for some 10 minutes or so and then i get message that installer crashed and i will be able to generate report on exit... but in fact icant even exit... after waiting a lot i force shutdown manually [11:59] MonkeyDust: thanks [11:59] !DNS [11:59] To set up a Domain Name Service see the !serverguide - https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/dns.html [11:59] Xethron_, what is the output while booting?

[12:51] I no longer need windows for gaming [12:51] Xethron_, then make a Live USB with wond0ws [12:51] is it safe to upgrade to 3.6.3 from here? http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.6.3-quantal/ [12:52] got everything to work in linux thanks to emulators [12:52] lemme try that yes [12:53] Xethron_, try this http://www.linuxliveusb.com/en/download to make a Live USB [12:55] ? [12:55] if "Two series of kernel are officially available to 12.04.1 LTS. 3.2x-xxx and 3.5x-xxx" than why is the 3.6.3 named quantal? [12:55] because it was shipped with quantal? [12:56] X-User: great. will get that quick [12:57] helo all [12:57] Xethron_, ok [12:59] Xethron_, http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows [12:59] than is it "safe" to use the 12.04 with 3.6.3? [12:59] rigo88: Officially, 12.04 does not ship with 3.6.3 [12:59] hello guys . after a long time i installed 11.04 to my computer . 12.04 is ok but a bit slow and consumes so much cpu(fan makes noise even though i cleaned it) but i cannot update the repositories [12:59] rigo88: So it is your choice. [12:59] did 11.04 repositories changed [12:59] just because i think that the tevii s471 is only "supported" (so it is only recognised well) with 3.6.3 [13:00] mamed: 11.04 is unsupported due to EOL. [13:00] mamaed, 11.04 is EOL, repo's are down [13:00] mamed: what are your system specs? [13:00] bekks: i thought like that way . but i found that old-releases.ubuntu.com work but it didnot work for me [13:00] mamaed: can you upgrade to 13.04? Ubuntu made alot of speed improvements to Unity in that release [13:01] i ever used the 12.04 with 3.6.3 for only xbmc. [13:01] mamed, use 13.04 [13:01] lotuspsychje: 32 bit asus laptop 2 gb ram [13:01] ralphy: true [13:01] rigo88: he would have to update to 11.10 first, which is unsupported too. [13:01] 13.04 i bet it will be muh more slower than 12.04 [13:01] !eolupgrade | mamed [13:01] mamed: 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 [13:01] ubottu: i know eol [13:01] mamed: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:01] mamed wrong bet [13:01] well i think since installing linux is not the most complicated thing in the world it would make sence to build a new clean system right? :) [13:01] mamed: nope [13:02] ok guys why i escape from 12.04 is youtube issue i cannot watch youtube videos and this is not a flash problem [13:02] meanwhile i get an em: possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8106e-1.fw while upgrading. [13:02] mamed: Then which problem is it? [13:02] rigo88: a clean ubuntu would be nice indeed [13:03] lotuspsychje: if i have problems, i always rebuild the system.. i like to mess with the stuff.. a hobby.. [13:03] bekks: i installed debian 7.0 with xfce and without problem i was able to watch youtube vides [13:03] mamed: And why did you choose an unsupported version? [13:03] i usedto love it [13:03] also for orta theme [13:03] rigo88: rebuild, meaning clean installs every time? [13:03] mamed: So how does that prove it wasnt a flash issue? [13:03] i think gnome 3 has some internal heaviness also [13:03] mamed: you have to tell us the specific problem that leads you to believe it is not a flash issue if you want help [13:04] yep why not.. in fact i use linux only for xbmc and/or home server. the desktop pc runs w7 [13:04] rigo88: same here aswell, always latest ubuntu clean install x64 [13:04] ralphy: for example i was able to watch daily motion or any other video site but youtube [13:04] mamed: which does not prove it wasnt a flash issue. [13:04] so? [13:04] how about debian 7.0 [13:05] mamed: We dont care about debian. [13:05] but ubuntu is debian based [13:05] im stucked at 12.04 since it is a lts. but i read somewhere that there are conflicts with 13.10 & xbmc and/or with the ati driver... [13:05] mamed: Every car is based on Ford. Which doesnt make every car a Ford. [13:05] ok when was 13.04 released [13:05] mamed: 13.04 was released in April 2013. [13:05] i have been far away from lates versions of ubuntu [13:06] thats a wrong metaphor i guess [13:06] hm in normal time [13:06] cool i will upgrade my sys then [13:06] !yay | mamed [13:06] mamed: Glad you made it! :-) [13:06] wht are the improvements?

(celeron 847 sandy) [13:08] this ubuntu app menu is a small step to something like this [13:08] i think in that way [13:09] lotuspsychje, :DE [13:09] ralphy: :p [13:09] ok one last thing how can i remove the app button in the unity interface [13:09] ralphy, :P [13:09] mamed: app button? [13:10] mamed, what is app button? [13:10] hmm you know when you click it a new menu is open and you can search files see application bla bla [13:10] riggo88: yes. you probably will to get all of the 3d and video decoding working [13:10] on the unity [13:10] at the top of unity [13:10] top left end [13:10] mamed: oh... I don't think you can... you may want to try a different desktop [13:10] mamed: desktop environment [13:11] mamed: you can autohide dash [13:11] well . i love unity i love global menu i love the dock on the left side [13:11] mamed, you can try XFCE or Cinnamon [13:11] xfce :( cinnamon is like win:( [13:11] mamed, KDE then. [13:11] mamed: and use docky at bottom example [13:11] too complex and have internal problems [13:12] hm mcan i change the pos of unity dock [13:12] in 13.04 [13:12] mamed: Where do you get those wrong information from? [13:12] mamed: yes [13:12] !info docky | mamed [13:12] maybe thisone? https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/2013/intelr-linux-graphics-installer-version-1.0.2 [13:12] cool this was impossible in 12.04 [13:12] mamed: docky (source: docky): Elegant, powerful, clean dock. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.1.4-1 (raring), package size 830 kB, installed size 3329 kB [13:12] mamed: Can you even prove that KDE "have internal problem"? [13:12] bekks: i am tired of seeing kde has crashed bla bla [13:12] mamed: no you cant [13:12] also it is a ram eater [13:13] qt is ok but kde:( [13:13] lotuspsychje, cairo-dock / glx dock is better that Docky IMHO [13:13] mamed: its not a ram eater kde needs you to configure it [13:13] mamed: if you dont then its bad [13:13] X-User: advantages? [13:13] mamed: but if you know what you are doing it is one of the best [13:13] mamed: ditto, I did not like kde 4 === BTCOxygen is now known as Guest59146 === BTCOxygen|1 is now known as BTCOxygen [13:13] mamed: "bla bla" is no proof for anything. So stop spreading rumours please. [13:13] yes i know but as i said too complex. also i love global menu which does not exist in kde [13:13] in kde4 . in kde 3 i was [13:13] mamed: like a search menu ? [13:14] mamed: bekks is right, you can only speak for your own experiences.. [13:14] search menu? i am talking about global menu . menu bar on the top like mac os [13:14] mamed, then try this DE http://www.enlightenment.org/?p=about/e17 [13:14] mamed: mamed yea thats something you need to configure in kde [13:14] ok . i will upgrade to 13.04 then if i come across any problem and cannot find any solution on the net i will come [13:15] do not get me wrong i dont want to offned anyone [13:15] mamed: everything is possible you just need to configure it, i use unity but you can change very little [13:15] guys i have the "GRUB_TIMEOUT=-1" but after i install e17 desktop environment the grub is waiting 20 seconds to choice an option. Before the e17 installation this was fine... Is there any other file that i should see or any command that i should run ? [13:15] mamed: dont forget to try google chrome to use a newer version of flash [13:15] why not fox [13:16] Extreminador: thats very strange did you just install the de enviroment ? anyway try to update grub [13:16] i am trying to find out if my machine is 32 or 64 bit so I ran lscpu and I am not sure of what it is telling me, it says: CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit what does that mean? [13:16] lotuspsychje, it looks much better, have a shut down button, hardware acceleration, themes, can add menus, lots of tweaks and many more [13:16] Extreminador: grub2-update or something [13:16] mjayk, ahhh ok thanks will try that [13:16] X-User: cool, never tryed it [13:16] mamed: complicated, adobe stopped releasing new versions of flash for everyone but chrome [13:16] lotuspsychje, give it a shot, its good. [13:17] chrome is bad anyway [13:17] hm okay then [13:17] braddoro: cat /proc/cpuinfo [13:17] Hey, are there any Ubunu developers here?

[15:40] Silencieux, Kind of a dated link is all, the builds I'm not exactly sure. [15:40] Richard_Holland, when you get to /etc/resolv.conf , you have to use this file instead /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base , because it writes to /etc/resolv.conf , [15:40] Bekks, unix systems and security are not new for me. It's just that Ubuntu acts different then the HP-UX i am used working with. [15:41] So maverick or hardy would be best for my model I believe [15:41] Richard_Holland, the tutorial i posted is esentilly correct , but with that one exception [15:41] should I use the LTS or recent release?

[15:54] bekks: sorry, i was following it up with more information.. === jan1337z is now known as jan1337zZz [15:55] as far as i can tell, he just allowed the updates to install, it rebooted, and now he can't boot it [15:55] diphtherial: Ubuntu does not change the partition layout nor the partition types itself without the user telling Ubuntu to do it. [15:55] bekks: right, which is why i'm confused [15:55] diphtherial: So he did not tell you all he did. [15:55] how to handle that search issue in a directory when typing a directory name [15:55] mamed: Which issue? [15:56] bekks, when i am in a directory and want to find a subdirectory i type its name . but in 13.04 it searchs all sub and sub directories [15:56] is this a nautilus issue? [15:57] mamed: When I am in a directory - in a terminal - and I type the name of a directory, I usually get "no such command". [15:58] mamed: try using a file search application [15:58] mamed what command are you using to find a directory? [15:58] ii think i could ot express my problem. bekks imagine that you are in your home directory. and you want to type Documents . in ubuntu 12.04 and olders it highlghting the desired directory but in 13.04 it searches all sub directories [15:59] diphtherial, Have them run sudo fdisk -l to confirm what is there [15:59] i dont use a command i am talking about the gui nautilus [15:59] mamed: When I am in my home directory, "cd Documents" will let me change into that directory. [15:59] mamed: I never used a GUI file manager for navigating and searching files. [16:00] dont you have 13.04 with untity DE [16:00] mamed: Sure. But I have a wonderful "terminal" too. [16:00] mamed: the issue is, this is not a "bug".. or something that is "broken".. you want different functionality than the defaults.. i would try an application designed to search for files, and i think you will find more options to edit [16:00] mamed in a GUI, you click to open a directory, so where are you typing? [16:01] Hello ! I'm a novice in both ubuntu and programming. [16:01] ABDULLAH: this channel *only* deals with the ubuntu portion of your query [16:02] evening gents, can you give me a bit of advice please, i have a new hdd should i create more then one partition for linux ? or that isnt necessary [16:02] okay. when i am in the /usr/share where there are lots of directories i just want to find themes directory . (scrolling takes time) when i type themes . find option opens in nautilus(file manager) and it searches in all sub directores . all i want to highlight the /usr/share/themes [16:02] my problem is above [16:02] I'm using Codeblocks and when I write code and try to run it it shows this [16:02] HypnotiX: some make a separate /home/ for upgrading ease and etc. [16:02] permission denied.

[16:03] !chmod | ABDULLAH [16:03] ABDULLAH: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [16:03] HypnotiX: that's up to you to decide. [16:03] holstein, it was ok in 12.04 this is not an aother application this is nautilus problem [16:04] ok but that is the safer way to go right [16:04] mamed: And now the behaviour changed. [16:04] yes [16:04] mamed: this is *not* a problem at all... [16:04] are there any drawbacks to creating two partitions for linux ? [16:04] it shows the directory and then permission denied. how can i fix it? [16:04] HypnotiX: No. [16:04] Pls . [16:04] mamed: there are many different file managers, and search applications if the default one is not doing what you expect or want [16:04] mamed: The behaviour changed. IT is not a bug, it is not a problem. It is a changed behaviour. [16:05] HypnotiX: the main benefit is that then later you can choose to *not* format your /home/ should you decide to overwrite your / or install another distro. [16:05] ABDULLAH: please see the link i gave [16:05] !partition | HypnotiX start here [16:05] HypnotiX start here: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PartitioningSchemes l - For partitioning programs see !GParted, or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [16:05] mamed: if you prefer 12.04, 12.04 is still supported [16:05] ok how can i set the nautilusu searhc options [16:05] Thanx guys, a real help as usual :) [16:05] mamed: You cant. [16:05] why not [16:05] mamed: im not sure you can. what i suggest is, use something that is closer to what you are looking for [16:05] mamed: Because it is not implemented to set them. [16:06] mamed look in dconf editor, maybe you find something usfeul there === Piano is now known as Chewing-hum === Chewing-hum is now known as Chewing-gum [16:06] hm if i downgrade the nautilus it works [16:06] mamed: the code is all open, and you are free to edit what you like, but as default, i dont think you have that option to chage that.. but, there are *many* other filemanagers that will do what you are asking, as well as the search tool [16:07] mamed: sure.. if you use a version of nautilus that has the functions you want, then the functions are there [16:07] !volunteers | HypnotiX [16:07] HypnotiX: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [16:07] ok i found sth . this is my problem : http://askubuntu.com/questions/275883/traditional-search-as-you-type-on-newer-nautilus-versions [16:07] mamed: its not a problem, friend.. its a change [16:08] yeah it is a painfull change [16:08] mamed: It is still not a bug, not problem. It is a changed behaviour. [16:08] it takes time to fins a directory [16:08] i see it is not a bug. [16:08] mamed: Then use 12.04 [16:08] no i will downgrade nautilus [16:08] holstein: my last statement was not sarcastic [16:08] mamed some functionalities have changed in nautilus, that's true: de dual pane is gone, the 'show as list' is gone, other features maybe [16:08] mamed: there are many options, such as downgrading nautilus [16:09] here is an answer : As far as I know the new Nautilus 3.6.X cuts many features from the 3.4 and older versions. Canonical decided to keep using nautilus 3.4.2 in Ubuntu 12.10 because if this even though Nautilus 3.6 was already released. [16:09] HypnotiX: apologies :) [16:09] dual panel also? OMG it was so usefull [16:09] np :) [16:09] mamed: yes.. that is the answer.. the filemanager doesnt have the features by default that you seek [16:10] mamed yes, i regret it too, the F3 dual pane [16:10] mamed: there are *many* other ones, such as the one mentioned at the link you gave which is AFAIK a fork of nutilus [16:10] MonkeyDust, :D [16:10] holstein, yes [16:10] nemo is a fork afaik [16:11] mamed: then, if it better suits your, needs, use it, though i think its only available via PPA and not officially supported. though there are *many* other filemanagers, as i have mentioned [16:11] i will take a look at nemo which is a nau* fork [16:12] thank you so much for your attention guyz [16:12] holstein it's complicated. Just tell me the command to give permission to it. [16:13] ABDULLAH: i dont feel comfortable doing that.. its your code, and you should understand how to execute it, and what it is going to do on your system, or not be doing what you are doing [16:14] but i'm totally new. i don't know even a little. i love ubuntu .so i [16:14] diverted to ubuntu leaving windows. [16:14] ABDULLAH: then, you likely should not be doint what you are doing.. i am *not* new, by any means, and i dont run custom applications i have created on my system [16:14] ABDULLAH start with the basics, later on, you can learn about permissions et al === Chewing-gum is now known as Inferno === Inferno is now known as Dark_Slayer === Dark_Slayer is now known as Dark-Slayer [16:15] ABDULLAH: im not trying to discourage you.. im just suggesting, you will want to know about permissions, and executing code and what that means.. and user permissions.. there are not "i just installed linux" friendly topics necessarily.. but i dont feel comfortable giving you a copy-paste command to run code that neither of us fully understand === dewwii is now known as deww [16:17] i'm not sure where to start in figuring out this guy's problem with his bootloader [16:17] he claims that he didn't do anything to it in the last session, aside from installing the routine updates [16:18] diphtherial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [16:18] oh i'm learning programming. i creates .c files and then run it.when i run it then a window opens showing the directory where i saved the .c file and then ":permission denied" without quotation. [16:18] diphtherial, There is the bootrepiar tool that generates a bootinfo summary alone if you choose just that to analyze the setup. [16:18] Hello it's not exactly spot on ubuntu question but close enough, I've just upgraded from ubuntu 10.4 to 12.04 and I'm having problems installing python2.6 (and it needs to be python2.6 because some of the modules I import do not work for other versions) so I installed python 2.6.6 from the ubuntu software center, I also installed "IDLE for python (version 2-6) using Tkinter" and now when I try to start IDLE (from terminal because no new icons were [16:18] created) I get the following message ** IDLE can't import Tkinter. Your Python may not be configured for Tk. **. I looked it up online and they all say you have to install IDLE separately because it's not suported anymore, but I already did that. I installed python2.6-tk despite it and it still doesn't work (same error message). I've tried other internet advice with some manual install guidelines and now I've just made a mess. Can anyone help me [16:18] install python 2.6 on Ubuntu 12.04? [16:18] ljetibo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:18] ABDULLAH: as i said, when you got here, this channel is for ubuntu support, not programming [16:18] ljetibo: tldr; ;) [16:19] xD [16:19] sorry [16:19] I blab too much sometimes [16:20] ljetibo: i might consider https://launchpad.net/~fkrull/+archive/deadsnakes though, keep in mind, ppa's are not officially supported [16:20] but it asks permission from ubuntu directory. i want to know how to give it permission? [16:20] !chown | ABDULLAH [16:20] ABDULLAH: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [16:21] !chown [16:21] or can you refer to a channel of c programming. [16:21] holdtein: yeah I already tried http://askubuntu.com/questions/125342/how-can-i-install-python-2-6-on-12-04 [16:21] ABDULLAH: It has nothing to do with programming. [16:21] wilee-nilee: thanks, i'll have him try that [16:21] ABDULLAH: http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/?net=freenode === ABDULLAH is now known as abd-allah [16:23] abd-allah: I could not find the issue you are having. Care to explain it quickly? [16:24] (I did scroll and feel I missed something) [16:24] so, this is the output from the boot repair utility: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6021906/ [16:25] (this is from running boot repair from a live CD; he can't boot into any of his partitions, including his windows one) [16:26] if any of you have any ideas about it, i'd be forever grateful [16:26] raub: when i write some code in .c file using codeblocks ide then i run the file using F9 command. then it opens a window showing the directory where i saved the .c source file and then "permission denied".it means it can't get permission to the file to execute. [16:26] diphtherial: bad hard drive, or other hardware [16:26] holstein: what makes you think that? [16:26] it's a new machine, new hard disk afaik [16:26] not to say that it's not bad, but i'd rather eliminate other possibilities [16:27] diphtherial: i dont.. its just a possibility.. new stuff breaks too, and *all* hard drives fail [16:27] right, eventually [16:27] but he was running windows fine before this; the problems started up when he tried to install ubuntu [16:27] diphtherial: i like to eliminate that possibility.. since new hard drives are just as likely [16:27] i mean, is there anything in what i pasted that indicates it's hard drive failure? it seems like the tool was able to detect all of the partitions just fine [16:28] abd-allah : did the source file is in ext2 or similar file systems. and not in fat or ntfs. [16:29] diphtherial, The live cd in disks has a smart check, the windows partitions are not showing any bootloader info. Did they resize windows with the ubuntu installer? [16:29] abd-allah: are you running the program as the same user who saved the .c file? Do you own that directory? [16:29] when was the original install diphtherial ? [16:29] wilee-nilee: i don't believe so, no, although i wasn't there when he installed it [16:29] it was about a week ago; everything was running fine, through multiple reboots [16:30] anyhow, when I try sudo apt-get install python2.6 returns: python2.6 is already the newest version. Same repeats when I try install python2.6-dev and idle-python2.6 [16:30] (well, he had some initial trouble getting grub installed, but he eventually did it through the live CD) [16:30] diphtherial: can you mount those drives? [16:30] (er, partitions) :) [16:30] raub: yes, he's able to browse them fine, he says [16:30] raub:yes [16:30] (this is from the live CD, again) [16:30] diphtherial, Have they tried previous kernels for the ubuntu there was a upgrade lately some have had problems with, with nvidia drivers. [16:30] Aravindgeek:ext4 [16:30] Did you check if the uuid is still proper? [16:30] diphtherial: i would go to the hardware.. i feel there is not much to do "3rd party" in this way.. it could be anything [16:30] when he attempts to boot from the drive, grub thinks all his partitions are MSDOS partitions and doesn't allow any of them to boot [16:31] Aravindgeek :ext4 file system. [16:31] wilee-nilee: ah, they haven't tried previous kernels afaik; i don't think they can even get that far into the boot process [16:31] diphtherial: an error message about this "msdos" idea would be nicd [16:31] nice* [16:31] for what it's worth, i'm providing support over facebook; bandwidth is limited [16:31] diphtherial: send them here [16:31] diphtherial, That does not make sense that is their interpretation, what eveidence shows msdos the partition table is msdos [16:32] adb-allah : did you tried to use gcc in terminal and execute in same folder. [16:32] the script shows standard partitions [16:32] abd-allah: as the said user, go to the directory in question and create a dummy file (using touch) and make it executable [16:33] wilee-nilee: his current problem started occurring after installing recommended updates this morning, and he does have an nvidia card [16:33] let me ask him what he means about the drives being "MSDOS" drives, because i don't know what that means, either [16:33] Aravindgeek: I don't know how to use gcc. [16:33] diphtherial: you are assuming the upgrade triggered that.. and im not saying it didnt.. [16:33] diphtherial, Have them run the previous kernel from grub [16:33] raub: how to use touch and make it executable? [16:34] holstein: well, it's the last thing that changed; i know, user error, he probably deleted his fstab, etc. [16:34] diphtherial: unless you send him here, or you actually go to the machine, i dont think this is going to be very constructive [16:34] touch file and then chmod +x file [16:34] holstein: fair enough, but i think he's fed up with this already... [16:34] hello everybody good morning [16:35] I wonder what would happen if diphtherial have the guy login using the server install disk, then go to restore mode, mount the root partition, and then do upgrade-grub [16:35] still waiting on him for what he means by grub showing MSDOS drives, but perhaps i'll give up after that [16:35] raub: is there a difference between using the server install disk and the ordinary live CD? [16:35] he can use the live CD fine, it seems [16:35] diphtherial: i understand that can be frustrating, but as a volunteer here, i would prefer dealing with you at least actually being at the hardware, or your friend [16:36] diphtherial: if it gives you any hint, last time I had issues like that is because I have a 512MB /boot partition and forget to delete old kernels :) [16:36] holstein: i understand, and i apologize that he's not here directly/i'm not there [16:36] diphtherial: I think the server cd does the chroot for you [16:37] raub: interesting; that'd kind of make sense why it occurred after an update. ah, and he's been doing the chroot himself; in fact, that's how he loads his ethernet drivers when he's booted into the live CD [16:37] o like to ask for help, i just installed lubuntu 13.04 yesterday, everything od ok, but the sound, the thing is that the icon is manage by "PCM" but when i try to adjust the volume it foed not respond, the one that repond is "master" can some one help me to gix this please [16:38] diphtherial: but he does not seem to have a separate boot partition [16:38] I have a shell script which has to be run just before the system shutdown. What to do, kindly help [16:38] It would be smart for him to find out which kernels he has installed and delete the last one [16:39] you know, using dpkg [16:39] my script does nthing more it writes some text to file and [16:39] waits(sleeps) for 20 second [16:39] i tried running this script manually it works fine [16:39] but when i put the same file in etc/init.d [16:39] and create 2 symlink in etc/rc0 and etc/rc6 by name 'K95customscript' [16:39] inerkick: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[16:59] is there no easier way [16:59] anonee: you should not. [16:59] kisuke: or the other way around. All I know is that I used to love solaris until oracle ate them [17:00] ive held down shift! [17:00] it isnt doing anything [17:00] raub: same with all of suns old stuff. [17:00] anonee: a key to what? [17:00] kisuke: maybe the !smb trigger might be usefull for you? [17:00] I have the ubuntu cd [17:00] to install it [17:00] raub: IIRC system v and solaris levels are almost identical. [17:00] youtube-dl for instance [17:00] lotuspsychje: thanks [17:00] O[_]: then, boot it.. the option i linked is to repair the lost cd from grub [17:01] kisuke: Solaris uses SMF nowadays. [17:01] Aravindgeek: "There are no new upgrades available for your system. The upgrade will now be canceled. Do you want to start the upgrade?" [17:01] raub youtube-dl [17:01] O[_]: booting a live CD will depend on your bios setting and particular hardware.. [17:01] !bios [17:01] raub and tor... [17:01] O[_]: usually, its F2 or escape or delete key [17:01] Aravindgeek: Im going to go with a yes [17:01] raub looks like it won't add it [17:02] holstein: man to his MB/computer would have an answer [17:02] domedagen : I don't get it. [17:02] anonee: unfortunatelt I've never used it [17:03] BluesKaj, i tried the instructions on the page you suggested. It doesn't work [17:03] Aravindgeek: Me neither, it sounded like there was no update, but it still asked to continue [17:03] I have added keys to my own user stuff (for emails and such) and for a local repository [17:03] O[_]: to be clear, what raub is suggesting is to refer to the user manual or documenation for the hardware to see how to enter the bios or boot media [17:03] bekks: to mean that means Simple Machines Forum. I'm pretty sure thats not what you are refering to. [17:04] raub sounds good i wish i could learn such things but dunno... a lot of things to learn! [17:04] RichardHolland , exactly what doesn't work , did you reboot after the settings and run sudo dhclient eth0 ? [17:04] kisuke: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_Management_Facility - and now back to something more ontopic. [17:04] bekks: ty [17:04] i'm getting keyserver receive failed: keyserver error... [17:04] ok done [17:05] BluesKaj, i restarted the the network interface with the comment networking restart [17:05] anonee: pastebin? [17:05] BluesKaj, i didn't reboot. Would that help? [17:05] RichardHolland: what error did you have? [17:05] O[_]: done = boot using livecd? [17:05] i don't get raub [17:05] still [17:05] Aravindgeek: The problem remains. I've tried googling this for hours. Is there a way to make it redo all the GUI set up? [17:05] BluesKaj, if i try a nslookup it time out. On the restart of the service i don't get a error [17:06] RichardHolland, yes , unfortunately it does , linux used to pride itself on not requiring reboots , but that has changed [17:06] BluesKaj, OK. So I'm gonna reboot. No problem. [17:06] raub http://pastebin.com/zBJ4kE5L [17:06] ri run sudo dhclient eth0 [17:06] RichardHolland,^ [17:07] anonee: you can't reach that keyserver [17:07] raub why? [17:07] Aravindgeek: Like maybe recheck if there is any screens? Should i plug in and plug out GPU? [17:07] BluesKaj, that works [17:07] it could be down or having lunch. Maybe there is a backup one [17:07] BluesKaj, why? Please explain.. .I wanna learn [17:07] unable to read package 'emerald [17:08] I did sudo apt-get install emerald [17:08] O[_]: try apt-cache search emerald [17:08] domedagen : i am not sure but you may try . [17:08] O[_]: I thought you had a pw issue [17:09] Aravindgeek: Ok trying [17:09] !emerald | O[_] [17:09] O[_]: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [17:09] BluesKaj, By the way. Thanks helping solve the problem. I just hope you can explain what just happend. [17:09] fixed that [17:09] what is compiz [17:10] RichardHolland, dhclient assigns your static IP to dhcp [17:10] O[_] just google compiz, you should read a little about it if you insist on using emerald [17:11] BluesKaj, But i wanna use a static address. So why is DHCP still in the game? [17:11] i might not now idk [17:11] BluesKaj, Will it keep working after rebooting? [17:11] dhcpis always in the game , the IP remains static , RichardHolland [17:12] domedagen : try removing xserver config file and reboot . may work. [17:12] BluesKaj, thanks for explaining. I won't forget it next time [17:12] BluesKaj, I didn't find it anywhere in all the many pages i looked up on this isue [17:13] Aravindgeek: you mean like /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [17:13] Just rm? [17:13] domedagen : yes. [17:14] domedagen : backup before do. [17:14] domedagen, better use mv than rm... [17:14] whatts the path to desktop [17:14] RichardHolland, http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl8_dhclient.htm [17:15] infact where do I extract this to, its a skin for ubuntu [17:15] O[_], ~/Desktop [17:15] thanks [17:17] O[_], which is short for /home/username/Desktop [17:17] BluesKaj, OK, from her on i am gonna setup the firewall for the server first. Suggestions on that one. I don't wanna use the GUI version. So I'll guess i am gonna use iptables [17:17] how do I install this skin for ubuntu [17:17] BluesKaj, i have bookmarked the page on the dhcp. Thanks [17:17] theres two folders gkt and metacity [17:17] both have images, menus etc in [17:18] RichardHolland, iptables and servers aren't my strong suit [17:18] RichardHolland: the #ubuntu-server guys might assist you on it for sure [17:18] bye. opensource rocks :) === ubuntu is now known as Guest9384 [17:19] BluesKaj, no problem.

[18:55] jrib: so it was sort of necessary to build my own [18:55] ljetibo: why aren't you using the python that's on ubuntu? [18:56] sigh [18:56] HypnotiX what does sudo blkid show? [18:57] ljetibo: i.e. what modules exactly? [18:57] jrib: I just "upgraded" from Ubuntu 10.4 today and I need to use "home made" libraries like sdsspy, fitsio.... and some of them don't work on python > 2.6 [18:57] HypnotiX: Then the installer cd does not support your mobo hdd controller. [18:57] ljetibo: that's weird. I believe code that ran on 2.6 should also run on 2.7, no? === companion is now known as Companion === Nitrodex is now known as Guest36251 [18:57] jrib: when I started writing my program on win (3 or 4 months ago) I discovered they do not [18:57] bekks: it did before [18:58] MonkeyDust: it shows my partitions [18:58] jrib: then through various other outside contraints I was "forced" to go ubuntu, I used Virtualbox [18:58] HypnotiX: With the very same installer? [18:58] HypnotiX: Or with an older version? [18:58] jrib: old 10.4 version, and it's default is 2.6.6 [18:58] bekks: same one [18:58] HypnotiX: Then what did you change? :) [18:58] bekks: the hdd [18:58] ljetibo: i would fix your programs. I'm almost 100% certain that python2 versions are backwards compatible [18:59] ljetibo: if they're failing because of some change in a third party library, then I would suggest fixing the code. If you want to go against my advice, then setup virtualenv and install everything in a 2.6 virtualenv [18:59] jrib: I can try it certanly. sudo apt-get python should install the 2.7 version? Also how do I remove the 2.6.6 then? [18:59] http://imagebin.org/268640 look [18:59] certainly* [19:00] this is the blkid http://paste.ubuntu.com/6022451/ [19:01] ljetibo: you now have both versions. Your system will, by default, prefer the version in /usr/local when you simply call "python". If you want to, you can remove the version you installed. You'll have to read python documentation for that. Sometimes you can "make uninstall" (in the same directory where you ran "make install". Otherwise, you have to delete the files that got installed to /usr/local [19:01] manually [19:01] thirty3percent, So you have a number of ppa, the wine which is probably the conflict with playonlinux, both wine and playonlinux are in the repos, no ppa's needed and not supported here. the cinnamon one is a no fetch. I would use ppa purge to remove both and purge wine and playonlinux remove all the configs and files of these two a try a reinstall. The ubuntu twaek app is a nice config remover in it [19:01] s janitor portion, and you can search home with the names to get all the files. Cinnamon may or maybe be complety removed with the ppapurge, if not it can just be removed forom the terminal if you want it gone. === philippe is now known as Guest70953 === clouder is now known as clouder`grr [19:01] btw if i click on the plus in the installer it just crashes [19:02] wilee-nilee, ok thank you for your help. [19:02] jrib: how come then import numpy and import scipy fails if the call python evokes python 2.7? [19:02] thirty3percent, I hope that makes sense, ask any questions if needed. ;) [19:02] jrib: I've included that in the pasta [19:02] ljetibo: calling "python" at the moment obviously does not invoke python 2.7. It calls python2.6 which you installed to /usr/local. Try "/usr/bin/python" and then import numpy there. [19:03] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debconf/+bug/349469 this is the bug report i got after the installer crashed [19:03] Launchpad bug 349469 in debconf (Ubuntu) "debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable" [Medium,Triaged] [19:05] HypnotiX: So it has absolutely nothing to do with your hdd.

[19:06] HypnotiX: Because the installer isnt the problem. [19:07] jrib: yes that seems to work jsut fine. Thank you. [19:07] bekks: then what is :) [19:08] jrib: will there be no clashing between two different version? [19:08] HypnotiX: You gave us the URL explaining whats the problem. [19:08] Hey Something seems to have deleted /proc/net/tcp [19:08] ljetibo: it should be ok, but I would advise letting "python" point to the default version and having only "python2.6" point to 2.6 [19:08] how do get that back. [19:09] jrib: is that something that's done in .bashrc? [19:09] ljetibo: ideally though, you would just fix your code so that it works on 2.7. This is almost certainly do to some change in a third party library you use [19:09] ljetibo: does "python2.6" currently work? [19:09] s/do/due [19:10] I can't seem to login to tty[1-6] (no login prompt), is there some fix for this? [19:10] yes, but the default for python is python2.6, only by using python2.7 I get python2.7 [19:10] ljetibo: just delete /usr/local/bin/python then [19:11] bekks: this makes no sense how can the installer and the hardware not be the problems ? [19:11] one or the other is the problem [19:11] HypnotiX: Read the link you gave us. [19:11] i am [19:11] jrib: just manually brutal delete? no need to make sure all dependencies are hooked off or whatever... [19:11] ljetibo: correct [19:12] if i just boot the live cd hit install and it doesnt work then ...... [19:12] HypnotiX: a lock for the package management software is the problem. And the installer is just using this software.

Also all the outher libraries are installed in usr/local/lib/pythonX.X/dist-packages [19:14] HypnotiX maybe try the alternate version but i believe that stopped on 12.04 LTS [19:14] jrib: what do you mean apt should never go in usr/local? [19:14] ljetibo: you can ignore the apt command [19:14] ljetibo: you can ignore the apt comment [19:14] ese, .avi and.mov are containers for types of media some do not play. [19:15] cstewart: i installed 13.04 or 3 different systems so far including this one with no problems using that installer, i just changed the hdd on this one and i cant install on it [19:15] like quicktime...etc [19:15] ljetibo: yes, I am sure that you can just delete /usr/local/bin/python to make "python" call /usr/bin/python (2.7) instead of /usr/local/bin/python (2.6) as it does now [19:15] wilee-nilee, but .mp3 or any sound file does not play either [19:15] ese, Downloads? [19:16] Hypnotix can you boot the live cd and see the new hdd [19:16] wilee-nilee, no, in my firefox or in my usb thumbdrive (i got some files there) [19:16] no i cant see it [19:17] gparted see it after i try ubuntu but not from the installer [19:17] Hi is it possible to change the screen resolution if a application goes to fullscreen? If not globally maybe just for VLC player via some plugin/scripting API ? [19:17] ese, Did you install any media codecs to files rather than just apt-getting them and using them, or flash this way, and tar downloads of these? [19:17] cstewart: http://imagebin.org/268640 [19:17] Hypnotix very interesting is this a ssd [19:17] nop [19:18] hello, i ran this command "/bin/sh -c '[ -d "$HOME/Ubuntu One" ] && ubuntuone-launch'" what will this do? [19:18] X-User: if your home contains a directory "Ubuntu One", it runs the command ubuntuone-launch [19:19] X-User: It starts ubuntuone. [19:20] well, my home do not contain any Ubuntu One folder (i deleted it) and also do not run Ubuntu One. [19:20] wilee-nilee, no i haven done that, i tried ubuntu 64 but it just can not boot from any .iso, i tried debian 7.0 no boot, ...i manage to install this ubuntu precise 12.04 32 here and after lots of fighting i got the wireless working, this is a lenovo z585 laptop and i google a lot but there is lots of problems in installing this lap i read, soo far i got it in my hard drive but with no sound or video playback. [19:20] HypnotiX: You should close gparted entirely before running the installer. [19:20] i did [19:20] brb ill restart and try one more time and ill remove the dvd writer [19:20] HypnotiX: Your paste shows something different then ;) [19:20] HypnotiX: Why? [19:20] M1cha: I haven't seen anything that does this but have a look at devilspie, it's an app that works with windows, sizes and such.. perhaps you can make it check if a window is maximized and then run some terminal command to change resolution [19:20] ese, NO sound at all anywhere? [19:20] HypnotiX: The dvd writer is no problem. [19:21] i removed the partitions [19:21] see if that helps i donno [19:21] HypnotiX: stop guessing. [19:21] well thats all i can do right now :) [19:21] M1cha: It might be easier to just make a shortcut to vlc that both changes resolution and starts vlc though.. if it's just for that one application [19:21] wilee-nilee, yes no sound at all, and in video i only get 2 settings, am fine with that dho [19:21] HypnotiX: You paste a) does show that you did not remove anything and b) that you are running gparted and the installer in parallel. [19:21] no pc for 2 days just trying to get it working has left me guessing [19:21] thats an old paste [19:22] HypnotiX: Then why do you show it to us? [19:22] i showed it for cstewart [19:22] ese, Cool we see that on occasion, not an area I can really help in that is the first issue I would be mentioning. [19:22] to understand the problem [19:23] Slart: Thx for the tip I'll take a look at devilspie or maybe compiz would work, too. The shortcut option wouldn't be good in case I want to use VLC just to hear some music [19:23] i cant even open the installer now thats why i want to reboot [19:23] thats very interesting, i'm not sure what else to suggest let me ponder it for minute [19:23] wilee-nilee, i think is the drivers [19:23] keep it simple to some extent and start at the beginning basically ese [19:23] wilee-nilee, yeah, i like to have sound ...first xD [19:24] so it goes like this i reboot run the installer from the live cd and i see that screen without my hdd or the partitions in the installer [19:24] M1cha: so, use the regular shortcut for vlc for when you just want the regular vlc and the modified shortcut for the "change res and then run vlc" script [19:24] other then nuke the partition table and create a new one === DTH0_ is now known as DX099 === owner_ is now known as Guest76236 [19:27] hypnotix it should reconize the partition table but maybe if you wipe it then try and install that will correct the issue. sometimes extended lvm have issue at least i have ran into that when trying to install on an existing HD or maybe barts boot and nuke [19:28] ok i removed all the partitions with gparted [19:28] ill reboot and try again [19:29] how do i defrag?

[19:39] so maybe 6 will help like said [19:40] mk [19:40] installing it now [19:40] one more problem tho [19:40] my ubuntu hates it when i install things directly from the software center [19:40] so i gotta use terminal [19:41] RileyGuy: Then use the terminal. [19:41] i got an somewhat older system used as a server.. athlon x2 3800, on an asus a8n sli nf4 mb, using a pci sis6326 8MB vga.. i cant get any latest live usb to run.. i have tried ubuntu and debian live .. it stops with a message about out of sync mode used on the monitor.. i have tried to insert the nomodeset option, there isnt the option available in live usb booting, as per the docs.. i am downloading 12.04 lts now [19:41] ok [19:41] jrib: thanks again, everything seems to be in order, much obiged [19:41] obliged* [19:41] RileyGuy: you might "hate" i, but i assure you, your ubuntu has not preference [19:41] XLV: Throw that SIS graphics crap away. [19:41] i know xD [19:41] yeah.. i have sis, and i just bypassed it.. never could get it working [19:41] bekks, for a server, its more than sufficient.. [19:42] XLV: It causes your current problems. [19:42] bekks, also.. that attitude is more apporopriate for windows lusers channels [19:42] XLV: there is no "live" ubuntu server [19:42] XLV: You never dealt with SIS hardware on Linux then. [19:42] Where do I get a graphics driver for, Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller [19:42] holstein, ... i am trying to load a live usb to troubleshoot a grub problem after a failing hdd [19:42] sazawal: shouldnt need one [19:42] nope still freezing [19:42] XLV: good luck.. i would avoid it [19:42] XLV: Try nosplash option [19:43] sazawal: sudo apt-get install xf86-video-intel [19:43] XLV: you can try "nomodeset" and forcing vesa.. [19:43] bekks, i have been running that system with that sis card for years ( in older systems too ).. you really dont know wtf you are talking about.. pls reply only if you have some valid contribution [19:44] holstein, sealbhach the nosplash and the nomodeset were added in the boot kernel parameters [19:44] same thing [19:44] XLV: Watch your language. And I cant help you if you dont like the answers - it was you who asked. [19:44] can i paste my log? [19:44] bekks, unable to locate package :( [19:45] bekks, my language is fine.. its the content you dont like.. i have no problem with your answers, just stating its irrelevant and unhelpful, and i ask you to stop trying to "help" me, you seem to not having the experties and you pollute the troubleshooting discussion [19:45] XLV: it many not work.. didnt work for me [19:45] sazawal: Most likely, it is installed already, although it has another name. [19:45] XLV: ignore set. [19:45] bekks, great.. thank you [19:45] XLV: i have never had any luck with sis graphics.. [19:46] bekks, let me find it on google. [19:46] XLV: If you just want to fix grub, install a no desktop edition, server edition or whatever or get a boot recovery type distro [19:46] holstein, i really have been using this card for years now.. using it so the pcie ports can be used for storage and/or nic [19:46] XLV: these are ubuntu based, and run "live".. http://www.turnkeylinux.org/ might help [19:46] sealbhach, yeah, i'll try 12.04 lts and alternative version [19:47] XLV: im not debating a server cant utilize the hardware.. im saying, if you are having issues running x on there, so was i [19:47] !alternate | XLV [19:47] XLV: The alternate CD has been discontinued for the main Ubuntu distro, please use and report any bugs in the !LiveCD [19:47] bekks, yes it is installed. Though I have a problem with the gnome-shell 3.6. I thought may be it is due to the driver. Anyways thanks [19:48] Do source packages (from apt-get source) upgrade? [19:48] gibbs: afaik they do [19:48] gibbs: No, they dont. [19:48] gibbs: I must admit I haven't really checked if they do but it would be pretty odd if they didn't [19:48] bazhang, i have no problem using an older live cd with alternative offered.. i just want to get to a shell with all commands available to chroot and fix grub [19:49] gibbs: They are "installed" in the current directory, and the package management system does not track them. [19:49] XLV: the alternate's were not live [19:49] holstein, the server ran xorg fine before the hdd and grub bork [19:49] bekks: how would I upgrade (then recompile)? [19:50] gibbs: run apt-get source again, and recompile. [19:50] gibbs: "upgrade" as in that there will new versions of the source packages when there is a new version of the package.. they won't upgrade the source you have downloaded.. you'll have to remove the source and download again [19:50] holstein, ok.. does anyone remember what was first ubuntu that offered grub2 by default? [19:50] XLV: alternate cd's dont boot live.. [19:50] XLV: the turnkey linux appliances do.. though they are not officially supported here [19:50] thanks. Is there a way to check what the latest source version is? [19:50] i need to use the commando dhclient eth0 to set the static address. But what if i wanna make it persistent? So that with a reboot i still have a working static IP adres on interface eth0? [19:51] gibbs: apt-cache policy packagename [19:51] XLV: I think grub 2 became default from 9.10 [19:51] DJones, thanks [19:51] RichardHolland: /etc/interfaces [19:51] RichardHolland: DHCP does not set static addresses. [19:51] Slart, that is configured correctly [19:51] excellent. thanks bekks and Slart [19:51] Slart: /etc/network/interfaces [19:52] bekks, i know, that is done in /etc/network/interfaces [19:52] RichardHolland: I mean, you'll have to edit that file yourself with the information you want.. I don't think dhclient will do it for you [19:52] RichardHolland: dhclient does not change /etc/network/interfaces, you have to do it yourself. [19:52] RichardHolland: but i think if u edit interfaces u need diable network menager in gnome [19:52] Slart, the static address only worked after using the command dhclient eth0 [19:52] RichardHolland: And with doing so, you dont need dhclient anymore to get an ip address. [19:52] SNA 2D Graphics Acceleration is causing troubles in gnome-shell 3.6. Please help! [19:52] have a nice week everybody [19:53] Ok I finally added a hotkey with compiz config manager to switch between my scaled and native resolution [19:53] RichardHolland: dhclient sets a dynamic address, no static one. [19:53] nl287, how do i disable the network manager? [19:53] RichardHolland, nl287: as nl287 mentioned.. it's in /etc/network/interfaces , my bad [19:53] bekks, i know.. .but it was the solution [19:53] RichardHolland: It cant be the solution, since those two things are contrary. [19:53] RichardHolland: maybe there is option disable in menu [19:53] RichardHolland: hmm.. might be something else that dhclient does ... or it might be a server setting if you have a paranoid dhcp-server/firewall [19:54] RichardHolland: You can set a static IP in the network manager as well. [19:54] bekks, i know... it was strange but true [19:54] what happen between 12.04 and 13? - i copied my fstab to mount my network shares, and now im getting erros [19:54] subcool: which errors? [19:54] bekks, it confusing that you can set the ip address in so many places in ubuntu. [19:54] downloading linux -- SLOW SLOW SLOW [19:54] bekks wrong fs type [19:54] bekks, and the don't seem to work together. [19:55] RichardHolland: thats just depending on what you want to achieve using which approach. [19:55] subcool: then you are using an fstype thats not installed/supported [19:55] bekks, the old way, not gui. So I can manage, and not the machine [19:55] bekks mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on 192.168.2.6:/mnt/VirtualMachines, [19:55] network menager working very well bu excludes with editing interfaces [19:55] subcool: Whats the fstab line? [19:56] RichardHolland: network manager works flawlessly here. [19:56] nl287, the network manager is through the desktop? [19:56] bekks 192.168.2.6:/mnt/Media /mnt/Media nfs auto 0 0 [19:56] RichardHolland: there is a cli tool: nm-cli [19:56] RichardHolland: yes, this is service i think [19:56] subcool: that will not work. ;) [19:56] bekks works on my other two macines [19:56] subcool: your box is trying to mount before the network is up. Add the "_netdev" option. [19:57] bekks, nm-cli? [19:57] bekks im doing that command with mount -a [19:57] RichardHolland: Thats what I said, yes. [19:57] bekks while the box is on [19:57] subcool: "auto" implies: "whenever the box boots up, run it". [19:57] bekks, how do i install it, or start it [19:58] bekks so change auto to _netdev? [19:58] subcool: And if you dont have the nfs utilities installed, it wont work either. [19:58] subcool: No, "add" means: let it look like this: auto,_netdev [19:58] RichardHolland: i was using manual editing networking and network menager, but if i want warking /etc/network/interfaces i need to disable network menager in menu on panel [19:58] bekks oh ok.. thanks [19:59] nl287, i think i uninstalled the whole network manager. I won't find it anymore in the desktop [19:59] RichardHolland: u dont need uninstall. disable is enough [20:00] nl287, well it's done anyway [20:00] bekks, how do i install it, or start. The program you suggested [20:01] bekks mount: unknown filesystem type '_netdev' [20:01] nl287, Goedenavond trouwens. [20:02] subcool: Then your fstab entry is wrong. [20:02] Hello [20:02] can i ask something? [20:03] somebody installed something called "Sniffer" on my ubuntu server [20:03] they can access root through port 22 without me knowing [20:03] even when i access my server [20:03] root@testnode1:~# w [20:03] 20:01:24 up 9 days, 3:55, 0 users, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.05 [20:03] it shows 0 users [20:03] bekks the only thing was the Ip addy [20:04] RichardHolland: The package is named "network-manager" [20:04] subcool: What does that mean? [20:04] bekks my router is being a d'bag about assigning ips [20:04] kabamaro: How do you know that? [20:04] Hello is there sdomeone who is familiar with restoreing SOAP and mysql back in phpinfo()? [20:05] it keeps chaning the IP address of my machines, so- i have a hard time keeping the ip address to the proper machine. and i cant assing ip's through the router- [20:05] bekks, they told me the network-manager conflicts with /etc/network/interfaces [20:05] bekks, point bieng i adjusted the IP to the proper ip and the error still occurs [20:05] RichardHolland: Which is true. Either use network-manager or manage that file on your own. [20:05] kabamaro so why do you think there is currently someone on your system? [20:05] I upgraded php to 5.5.3 and there is no trace of mysq,mysqli and SOAP [20:05] subcool: Then your entry is still wrong. [20:05] bekks, thats my point- it works on my other two machines.. [20:06] rtr- because i found a directory called "Sniffer" [20:06] subcool: Which I doubt, strongly. [20:06] bekks im coping it from two working computers [20:06] in my server [20:06] subcool: Then it cant be working, since it is wrong, simply. [20:06] there maybe another one service conflicting mDNS [20:06] kabamaro, where did you find this folder? [20:07] rtr- in /root [20:07] bekks, i just wanna use the file /etc/network/interfaces. Only after rebooten i don't get a static IP address on eth0 to work. I need the command dhclient eth0 to start the interface eth0 [20:08] kabamaro, and its simply that? /root/Sniffer ? nothing hidden? not even /root/.Sniffer ? whats in it? [20:08] there are over 500 files in it [20:08] such as [20:08] mpaux.h ssh-keygen [20:08] Makefile.in config.h.in mpaux.o ssh-keygen.0 [20:08] kabamaro: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:08] RichardHolland: you never get a static address, you have to assign it yourself. [20:08] kabamaro: If your server has been compromised, first thing to do would be disconnect it from the internet and then reinstall, you could never be sure that removing the things you don't recognise actually catches everything [20:08] RichardHolland: u need only proper edit interfaces [20:09] DJones i do not have physical access to it, only remote access [20:09] Kabamaro that is present usually when you install wireshark on your system it creates root/sniffer [20:10] cstewart yes but i did not install wireshark [20:10] Anything with a pcap, for that matter [20:10] and i also found some brute-force scanners, something called go.sh, it scans servers for port 22 and brute-forces root password [20:11] yeah [20:11] destroy and rebuild. You're screwed [20:11] if its a remote server you might want to install psacct to determine user activity [20:11] yea reload [20:12] its my fault [20:12] then look up ubuntu hardened server in google [20:12] I've got a minor issue with my sound. It randomly crackles from speakers/headphones and the sound crackles/pops noise whenever I adjust the volume up or down with no music playing. Any thoughts? [20:12] my root password was 1234 [20:12] i guess thats how they got in [20:12] ouch [20:12] kabamaro: tsk tsk tsk [20:12] watch your authorized_keys becuause i see ssh-keygen.0 [20:12] You're kidding me, right? [20:12] 1234? [20:12] kabamaro: needs to be at least 8-10 characters, case sensitive and with a number and a special character [20:12] yeah, 1234. [20:12] kabamaro: And this is why ubuntu doesn't recommend setting any root passwords [20:12] lol [20:12] kabamaro: you deerved to be rooted... [20:13] bekks yeah- it works [20:13] I was just going to say the samething [20:13] how long did you have this password? [20:13] rtr about 2 months [20:13] kabamaro: also, you should change your SSH port to something non standard... [20:13] bekks, i posted the whole problem on ubuntuforum with thread number 2169928. Maybe if you have time to react on that i would preciate that. Or somebody else for that matter. [20:13] lhx i tried that, i changed it... but even when i change it, port 22 still works [20:13] ummm.... [20:14] i mean, before you were rooted [20:14] oh [20:14] lol [20:14] anyone have any ideas if maybe its a software or hardware issue or something in the terminal i could use to fix it? [20:14] you might as well reinstall from scractch dude [20:14] bekks, i just realized i didnt have the softare installed that supports nfs yet [20:14] im thinking of changing my internet provider anyway [20:14] you never know what stuff the cracker put on your box... only way to know for sure is to wipe it and start over [20:14] kabamaro: isp has nothing to do with it... [20:15] hi, I'm having hard time trying to make rt3090 (wifi) work on ubuntu raring. Does anyone know how to make it work? [20:15] lhx yeah i know, but im changing for a better location [20:15] yea and install ufw and limit who can access the ssh port at minimum [20:15] lhx do you know anything about google compute server hosting? [20:15] kabamaro: yup... keeps them from brute forcing you [20:15] kabamaro: I like linode [20:16] i just purchased a server from google, it looks good since its hosted by google [20:16] hosting wont help you with security.. [20:16] kabamaro: specs? [20:16] kabamaro: why do you need a hosted server? [20:17] i run multiple websites [20:17] hey ppl [20:17] https://library.linode.com/security [20:17] i dont usually use 1234 as a password, it was just a one time thing and they brute forced me [20:18] kabamaro: Which took just a few seconds, with that password. Just dont set a root password at all. [20:18] pvl1: hiyo [20:18] reisio 8x intel xeon 2.6ghz - 30gb ram [20:18] well, 1234 isn't so much brute force as instant access :) [20:19] kabamaro: that thing turbo charged? :p [20:19] How do I change nano tab spaces from to 4? [20:19] reisio if u want i can give u access to check it out [20:19] server hardening - www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/how-secure-ubuntu-1204-lts-server-part-1-basics [20:19] user access [20:19] since its new and empty [20:19] kabamaro: Do you have any URL about that google hosting? [20:20] kabamaro: If you give access away like that - do you really wonder about being brute forced? [20:20] kabamaro: sure [20:20] bekks: https://cloud.google.com/products/compute-engine [20:20] kabamaro: Never, literally never ever, give anyone access to your server. Never. [20:21] bekks im re-installing it tomorrow [20:21] its just for testing [20:21] kabamaro: Thats a cloud stuff only. :) [20:21] How do I change nano tab spaces from to 4? [20:22] bekks yeah but its amazing for web hosting and stuff [20:22] kabamaro: You dont have a "managed server" - you just have "a part of some cloud". [20:22] yeah i know [20:22] kabamaro: You said you have a managed server now. [20:22] its like a VPS i guess [20:22] guys what is the "x-session-manager" for ? [20:22] bekks not the google one, the other one that was brute-forced [20:23] two hours ago i did use it and the entire desktop have disappear leaving only the background and the desktop icons [20:24] kabamaro: And they are incredibly expensive. Running it 24h/7days will cost you 142$ a week - at least. [20:24] hi, whenever i use sftp and try to upload a file to the remote server i hangs and says -stalled-. i have a temporary fix of doing: `sudo ifconfig eth0 mtu 1490` but i'd like to find a permanent fix. can anyone help?

I neither know your ISP nor your method of connecting nor your home network layout.

However, it says that it has created a a lost+found directory, unfortunately, I still am unable to mount it as the ubuntu live cd I am running states this: [20:38] Error mounting /dev/sda1 at /media/ubuntu/root: Command-line `mount -t "ext4" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid" "/dev/sda1" "/media/ubuntu/root"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, [20:39] !patience [20:39] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

Have you checked the S.M.A.R.T. status of the drive? Do you have backups of the important data? [20:41] linux [20:41] Jordan_U, I don't have backups of the drive, it was the / partition. The SMART status is fine, and the hardware is good (it was in RAID 1). === anon1 is now known as SchrodingersScat [20:41] If I attempt to do dumpe2fs it gives me a buch of information, but none that looks to be usable. [20:41] ubuntuissues: Why dont you try mounting it like: sudo mkdir /mnt/test; sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/test [20:42] bekks, I have tried that, and it reacts the same way... "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1," [20:42] what device is usually the CD/DVD drive in linux? I have it set up as the secondary master on my IDE Bus [20:43] ubuntuissues: You said that it was in RAID1, is this a hardware RAID controller? [20:43] Jordan_U, it was, but it is logical damage to the disk. Considering I already did an fdisk, it should have already mirrored the data. [20:43] dmesg states this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6022764/ [20:43] ubuntuissues: Then look at dmesg. And pastebin: sudo blkid please [20:45] ubuntuissues: What do you mean by "it was"? Is the device /dev/sda currently representing a hardware RAID1 of two different drives? (Note that true hardware RAID controllers are very expensive, and almost never come with Desktop motherboards). [20:46] Jordan_U, Sorry, it should have been It is. The Hardware RAID controller is a PERC 5i. bekks, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6022777/ [20:46] I removed some of the UUID's [20:46] However, the one I am trying to mount is labeled root [20:47] ubuntuissues: BAckup the disk, and run sudo fsck -f [20:48] bekks, I aready ran sudo fsck by it self on that drive. [20:48] ubuntuissues: fsck is not the same as fsck -f [20:48] Is it similar to fsck -y or -a [20:49] ubuntuissues: No. [20:49] bekks, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6022785/ === Companion is now known as companion [20:53] ubuntuissues: Did that complete with an exit status of 0? [20:54] It ended with the last line in the pastebin, and then dropped me to the ability to run another comand. So yes. [20:54] ubuntuissues: (To check, run "echo $?" *immediately* after running the command, or run "sudo fsck -f /dev/sda1; echo $0" if it's too late for that. [20:54] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6022795/ [20:55] ubuntuissues: Sorry, typo. Should have been "$?", not "$0". [20:56] After displaying the last line (root.......) it has an exit status of 0, yes. [20:58] I'm having a whale of a time trying to figure out which init script is hanging my machine. ubuntu 13.04, and just after init-bottom finishes, it hangs [20:59] I can't paste the dmesg output since the machine hangs, so I just took a picture. the console looks like this: http://bit.ly/18RTxu8 [20:59] i have 12.04 LTS myself [20:59] I'm wondering how I can figure out the script(s) that are running after init-bottom [21:00] ubuntuissues: Try "sudo grub-mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/". [21:00] It returned to a new line with no error. [21:00] ubuntuissues: "ls /mnt/" and see if you can see your files. [21:01] All it is is a lost and found folder now. [21:01] And it is taking a while to display the contents of it. [21:01] ubuntuissues: Slowness is expected with grub-mount, it's not really intended for normal use. [21:02] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6022819/ So that is expected? [21:03] have you tried booting using a live CD/DVD and mounting? [21:03] SkeeterB, I am in a livd disc right now. [21:03] SkeeterB: he is on a cd ;) [21:03] oh [21:04] ubuntuissues: It's not terribly surprising that it might take a long time to complete, but the fact that it only shows lost+found is not comforting. [21:04] ubuntuissues: could you pastebing the entire output of dmesg? [21:04] ok I am on an installed version though [21:04] Yeah, I know. But, if it even has just the folders I need in lost+found, then I can rebuild the system with the /etc, /var, or /usr folders. [21:04] Just for my own sanity, can you define 'slowness', should I be waiting hours, or is it just a couple minutes? [21:04] bekks, hold on [21:05] exit [21:05] ubuntuissues: After 10 minutes you can probably give up on it ever finishing. [21:05] bekks, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6022826/ [21:06] So if that fails, is there any other option I have to mount to even see if the files that are located are in there? [21:06] ubuntuissues: And if it does finish after 10 mintues, I would expect it to be because all of your files were placed in the top level of lost+found leading to hundreds of thousands of files to be listed. [21:06] Jordan_U, shouldn't the second 0 indicate how many files there actually are? [21:06] Or directories [21:07] So: dr-xr-xr-x 0 root root 0 Aug 24 15:05 lost+found That number after the owner would indicate if anything was recovered? [21:07] ubuntuissues: grub-mount is not intended for regular use, and does not necessarily represent normal POSIX semantics. [21:08] ubuntuissues: Just look into that folder. [21:09] bekks, I can't cd or ls into it without it taking some time. [21:09] ubuntuissues: Then you have wait :) [21:14] i need help with the sound, here is my lspci -v thank you http://sprunge.us/JEWJ [21:15] ese: "JEWJ0824 not found" [21:15] Yeah, neither are doing anything right now. [21:16] bekks, how can i fix that? [21:16] ubuntuissues: Try #linuxfs or #ext4 on irc.oftc.net. [21:16] ese: By giving us the correct URL. [21:16] Jordan_U, Alright, thanks. [21:16] You too bekks thanks [21:16] bekks, http://sprunge.us/JEWJ [21:17] with out 09824 [21:17] *0924 [21:18] ubuntuissues: You're welcome. If you get no answers there (after waiting a while, most IRC channels are *much* less active than #ubuntu), try the linux-ext4 mailing list and if you don't mind, CC me on your email ( Whois me, my email is my first name dot my last name at gmail). [21:19] Jordan_U, alright [21:19] Uh, from the looks of it, #linuxfs isn't a support channel, it is a dev channel. [21:20] ubuntuissues: Sorry, you're right. I was going by the comment at https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto . [21:20] quit [21:21] ubuntuissues: I think it's safe to say that you have found a bug, though I'm not certain of that. [21:21] Is this IRC chat recorded publicly anywhere? [21:21] Cause I don't have logging enabled due to it being on a livecd [21:21] I need to repair grub2 . I have mounted my ubuntu partition in live usb.and now I use this command [21:21] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda Path `/mnt/boot/grub' is not readable by GRUB on boot. Installation is impossible. Aborting. [21:21] !log [21:21] Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too. [21:22] bekks, ese@ese-IdeaPad-Z585:~$ aplay -l [21:22] **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** ...but does not show anything [21:22] hey guys I'm trying to emulate my mouse and keyboard using qjoypad but when I start the game the character and try to turn the character (via mouse emulation) the character spin violently [21:22] sam__: Please pastebin the contents of /proc/mounts. [21:22] the other buttons seems to work though but something seem to be wrong with the mouse aspect of the emulation [21:23] I've even tried xpadder on top of wine and I get the same problem [21:23] so does anyone know what might cause this? [21:23] Jordan_U__: http://pastebin.com/jnFFSezD [21:23] bekks, my sudo aplay -l: http://sprunge.us/HdAM [21:23] oh and also the mouse emulation works fine on the desktop, the problem only occurs in the game [21:23] OerHeks, thank you [21:25] sam__: That's not what I asked for. [21:25] Hi [21:25] there some vague forum that suggested installing xserver-xorg-input-joystick but that requires xserver-xorg-core, but I'm kind of skeptical about doing so because that seem as though it's likely to brick ubuntu [21:25] I'm having issues viewing files on FTP, I can view a folder with the perms: drwxrwx--- but why can't I view a folder with perms: d-wx--x--x [21:26] Also, how do I change this folder to drwxrwx---? [21:26] sam__: It does however show that your root problem is that you haven't actually successfully mounted anything yet. [21:27] sam__: sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/ [21:27] Jordan_U__:ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda6 mount: /dev/sda6 already mounted or /media/ubuntu/aa9a8b40-8489-4309-992e-5ffe0533bc41 busy mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda6 is already mounted on /media/ubuntu/aa9a8b40-8489-4309-992e-5ffe0533bc41 [21:27] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6022886/ would this be said bug? I can't tell if it is due to ext4 or something else. [21:28] Hello there [21:28] Jordan_U__: so how can i mount it? [21:28] Hello all. I am having an issue with partitions. I resized my drive to make more space for Linux and that operation was successful. When I went back into Linux, the entire HDD shows as unallocated space and when I double click the drive it tells me "Unable to Satisfy All Constraints" [21:28] sam__: It's already mounted, at /media/ubuntu/aa9a8b40-8489-4309-992e-5ffe0533bc41 so run "sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/media/ubuntu/aa9a8b40-8489-4309-992e-5ffe0533bc41/boot /dev/sda". [21:28] if i turn on "Record activity" in the privacy settings will anything be sent to canonical/someone ? [21:28] sam__: And be sure to run the exact command I gave. [21:29] I ran this command and get the same messange. sudo parted /dev/sda unit s print [21:30] silne30: What tool did you use to do the resizing? [21:30] Jordan_U__: http://pastebin.com/7XGxtMZm [21:30] Also Jordan_U I didn't realize you were in the ext4 channel, but, what is the unmount command for grub-mount [21:31] i use xubuntu and i install plymouth and sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth [21:31] and i select number and than i reboot My computer and nothing happen [21:31] A windows tool. Easus partition manager. [21:32] plz help me [21:32] why dont mint boot!! [21:32] I put the stupid ISO on the usb stick [21:32] Jordan_U__: so grub is installed now? I can login to ubuntu if I reboot? [21:32] DISK ERROR [21:32] well that says a lot! [21:32] O[_]: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:32] if i turn on "Record activity" in the privacy settings will anything be sent to canonical/someone ? [21:33] so wtf do I do now [21:33] I found that using the linux cd is much better than running from USB. IT's always been hit or miss. [21:33] sam__: Yes, you should be good to go now. [21:33] guys help me [21:33] im not putting it on a fucking cd it takes ages [21:33] O[_]: Ask the mint support and watch your language. [21:33] ive did that with ubuntu already [21:33] ubuntuissues: sudo umount /mnt/ [21:34] Ah, okay, I thought it was a different command. [21:34] Jordan_U__: thank you verymuch I have been stucked with this problem for very long time [21:34] where is the mint support group [21:34] !mint | O[_] [21:34] O[_]: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [21:35] ubuntuissues: I'll be gone for about an hour (maybe less). [21:35] lol theres two users in there [21:35] O[_]: ... on irc.spotchat.org [21:35] O[_]: Not our business ;P [21:35] ok [21:36] im trying it now [21:36] I am telling you O[_]. Using a CD works a lot better. How long have you had this issue? [21:36] Jordan_U, alright, well, thanks for everything so far. Though, I can't unmont /mnt because ls seems to have stalled, even though the process should have been killed. [21:36] silne30: feel free to help him in the mint support channel [21:36] and if I dont like mint that will be more time wasted! [21:36] im not using a cd [21:36] whats the attribute to use chown and make all subdirectories and files change permission too [21:36] I only tried usb boot now [21:37] O[_]: Go to the mint support channel. mint is NOT supported here. [21:37] subcool: -r [21:37] well why are you people asking me stuff then! [21:37] or -R [21:37] I am trying to go to there [21:37] i tried R, but its not working wwell [21:38] subcool: man chown [21:38] idk y- but those things never make sense to me [21:38] i cant follow the attribute reasons [21:39] subcool: -R, --recursive, operate on files and directories recursively [21:39] whats so hard about that? [21:39] how am I supposed to go to #linuxmint-help [21:40] it keeps coming up as irc.rizon.net! [21:40] so which is it? or is it both [21:40] type /server irc.spotchat.net , then join the channel [21:41] subcool: you can use either [21:41] whats the port and hostname for this [21:41] seriously? [21:41] nm got it [21:42] Any ideas on what may be going on with the partition issue? [21:42] I am all over google but not able to track down the issue yet. [21:42] I tried using fdisk to list my partitions [21:42] it says cannot open /dev/sda [21:42] do you put to --recurive after or before the path [21:43] again, does anyone know if any of the data with "Record activity" feature turned on is sent to canonical or anyone else? [21:43] Does that mean I have no partition table? [21:43] subcool: just go read the man page it explains how it works [21:44] Could anyone perhaps refer me to a channel that could help me with an issue I've been having dual booting Ubuntu with Windows 7? [21:44] hey all [21:45] Ooh. I think I found something. [21:45] JamoBox: what is the issue? [21:45] I am dual booted. [21:45] Maybe I can help. [21:45] does 13.04 have an issue mounting 64gb FAT32 drives? it mounts my 16gb just fine. but my 64bg thumb drive doesnt show up in /media/username [21:46] LordDragon: anything in the logs when you connect it? var/log/syslog is a good start [21:46] silne30: When I start my computer it will automatically boot into windows 7, without bringing up GRUB or anything similar. To get onto Ubuntu I have to press ESC during the bios flashscreen and go through menus selecting to run UEFI application, then select Ubuntu > Grub.efi from the harddisk [21:46] LordDragon: is it listed by "lsblk" ? [21:46] Partition 3 does not start on physical sector boundary. [21:46] LordDragon: MAximum volume size for FAT32 is 32GB. [21:47] I was wondering how to get GRUB to show up when I boot my computer so I can pick right away [21:47] ah thought so bekks [21:47] lsblk shows it as sdb [21:47] but its not mounted [21:47] LordDragon: Thats a drive, not a filesystem. :) [21:47] osx and windows can mount FAT32 volumes over 32GB.... [21:48] how can i know my local ip address ? [21:48] i'd like to compile a program as a non root user can anyone help me please? [21:48] LordDragon: bekks: Microsoft lists the limit of 32 GB as a limit in the formatting utility shipped with windows.. they mention 127 GB as a limit for reading from drives [21:48] Extreminador: ifconfig [21:48] thanks JamoBox [21:48] no problem [21:48] VassiliAr: why do you need root to compile it? [21:48] Slart: while its true that widnows doesnt officially let you format over 32GB, you CAN do it and windows will read/write just fine to it [21:49] wow. it just mounted itself [21:49] How do I change which proprietary nvidia driver I'm using from the command line. I'm trying to choose the right one (I'm looking for the overscan correction option) [21:49] after like 2 minutes [21:49] LordDragon: try mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /mnt [21:49] if sdb is your usb [21:49] it took like 2 -3 minutes of nothing, then suddenly the GUI popped up with it mounted [21:49] i wonder why the delay [21:50] LordDragon: yes, that's what I was saying... =) [21:50] I choose .... poorly, and am now not getting a graphical display [21:50] i dont need root to compile i dont know how to compile it without getting error about missing libraries [21:50] so no one knows what "Record activiy" in the Privacy panel does? [21:50] Slart: you were saying there would be a delay to mount it? [21:50] crundar: Indian Jones lol [21:50] failsafeX, the backup graphics version, isn't working [21:50] how to install gnome 3 in 12/04 [21:51] VassiliAr: then you have to find out where to find the missing libraries. [21:51] I have what i hope is a quick question. I have windows 7 on 1 ssd and ubuntu (installed 2nd) on another ssd. What is the best way to dual boot this set up? I am aware of the repair tool, does this create a grub dual boot for this? [21:51] LordDragon: no, that the 32GB limit was just when creating volumes with windows 2000.. but nevermind.. it works for you now? [21:51] HisaoNakai: yeah, It's not quite face-bleeding, arc-of-the-covenant, but I'd sure like to have a graphical display again [21:51] linuxuz3r, 12.04 has gnome3 already [21:51] Slart: yeah.. suddenly it just popped up after like 2-3 minutes of nothing [21:51] o: [21:51] whats the keyboard command to jump to the end of document in pico? [21:52] LordDragon, do you see it gets taken care of after it pops up? [21:52] linuxuz3r, open terminal: gnome-about –gnome-version [21:52] i been reading about compiling and missing libraries for 2 days now and feel like i need help please [21:52] ok [21:52] visualise: what do you mean by "taken care of" ? [21:52] crundar: lol, I'd help if I wasn't a luser [21:53] VassiliAr: perhaps ask in the channel for the language you're learning? [21:53] ok in the syslog i was getting timeouts [21:54] ubuntu udevd: timeout /sbin/blkid -o udev -p /dev/sdb [21:54] im not learning really i already know how to program a bit i havent done it in a long time and the same goes for compiling in linux [21:54] VassiliAir: What's your question? [21:55] it kept trying and trying to mount it [21:55] and eventually succeeded [21:55] i want to compile qemu as non root and get a missing libraries error [21:55] VassiliAr: Pastebin the full, exact error message into a pastebin then. [21:55] is anyone here? [21:55] !pastebin | VassiliAr [21:55] VassiliAr: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [21:56] Hi, [21:56] Atlantean: More than 1000 people - why? [21:56] bekks: hi [21:56] your offering a program i cannot install lol [21:56] bekks: my keyboard doesnt work on fresh install of Debian, cannot use console, help make it work etc. [21:56] touchpad also [21:56] Atlantean: We dont support Debian in here. [21:57] I hear Lubuntu is going to upgrade in Ocotober, and that the old one will only be supported for a couple of months longer. How long is support for the new upgrade for Lubuntu going to last [21:57] Ubuntu? [21:57] lol [21:57] VassiliAr: You can use copy and paste and a browser. [21:57] output : zlib check failed Make sure to have the zlib libs and headers installed [21:57] I have KUbuntu [21:57] I have what i hope is a quick question. I have windows 7 on 1 ssd and ubuntu (installed 2nd) on another ssd. What is the best way to dual boot this set up? I am aware of the repair tool, does this create a grub dual boot for this? [21:57] VassiliAr: The full error message please, in a pastebin :) [21:57] Atlantean: You just said you have Debian. Please seek their support then. [21:57] Hello people. May I ask a question about aptitude? I know it is an Ubuntu's channel and not aptitude [21:58] i dont have pastebin i dont even know what it is - but the full message was just posted [21:58] Moseco, You have ubuntu already right, thats what I read? [21:58] VassiliAr: ^Pastebin services are websites... [21:58] wilee-nilee, i have it installed on the 2nd HD [21:58] bekks: Ubuntu is below Debian, anyway I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed and many oters, no keyboard [21:58] VassiliAr: You dont need to install anything for using it. [21:58] !paste | VassiliAr [21:58] VassiliAr: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [21:59] Atlantean: 10.10 is EOL and unsupported. [21:59] "Ubuntu is below Debian"?! [21:59] Moseco, Partitioned or a wubi install? [21:59] !eolupgrades | Atlantean [21:59] Atlantean: 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 [21:59] everything is based on Debian man [21:59] Atlantean: We dont care. If you have Debian, seek their support. [21:59] bekks: I dont have Debian [21:59] I can't understand why people still use redhat, fedora, etc. They must join the debian-blob! [21:59] Atlantean: You said you do. [22:00] wille-nille, i used a disk to install ubuntu onto the HD while my windows HD was disconected [22:00] Moseco, You using grub to boot both? [22:00] bekks: I said I want to install linux and I cannot any, so I stopped by to look, if when I run Ubuntu now, someone can tell me if there are some drivers for Ubuntu and it is straightforward, cause Linux Mint failed at it totally [22:00] is there a GUI app in ubunty for monitor the syslog ? [22:00] erm ubuntu* [22:00] wille-nille, when i have only my ubuntu connected it shows the grub screen but with both HDs connected windows boots [22:01] Atlantean: Use a recent Ubuntu version then. 10.10 is not supported anymore. [22:01] LordDeath, the default gnome log viewer? [22:01] VassiliAir: zlib is a library. To compile a program that needs it, you have to install the development package. For zlib, look in synaptic for a package named something like zlib-dev or libzlib-dev. [22:01] oops [22:01] Atlantean: no be sure I have the newest [22:01] LordDragon, the default gnome log viewer?* [22:01] ah found it [22:01] thanks [22:01] Atlantean: I have the newest one [22:01] Atlantean: you said you have 10.10 - which is not the newest. [22:01] too [22:02] LordDragon, :) [22:02] I have installed all versions on hdd [22:02] Moseco, both are internal HD right, you can have both plugged in and that is a dualboot, am I missing something here? [22:02] Atlantean: However. MAybe someone else will support you - I wont anymore. [22:03] ok, I see, Ubuntu is shit [22:03] wilee-nilee, they are both internal, but when i installed ubuntu i had my windows HD disconnected [22:03] Does anyone have any familiarity with fdisk and issues that can come about? [22:03] as someone mentioned on forum "made by laicks for laicks" [22:03] wilee-nille, Would launching from the install disk and using the repair tool make it so grub came up instead of windows? [22:03] bye [22:04] Moseco, Right plug them both in in ubuntu run sudo update-grub and you will either with grub if you have that HD read first in the bios. [22:04] you will boot either*& [22:04] http://pastebin.com/wCmEFFPc This is what fdisk records to me. sda3 and sda5 seem to overlap or something and it seems to be sda3's fault. [22:05] http://pastebin.com/aFL59x1L - my pastebin error url i suppose [22:05] VassiliAr: Pastebin the full output, not just two lines. [22:05] Alright, I managed the first step, which is to enable my fs in read/write mode, and I can now edit the /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf file [22:05] the full output is 2 lines [22:05] not entirely sure what I need to do from there to reenable the right graphics drivers [22:05] you mean the commnad im using too? [22:06] wille-nilee, So this will configure the bios to read the ubuntu hard drive first or do i go into bios and change the order to the ubuntu drive? [22:06] VassiliAr: No. The output of the command giving you that error is much much longer. Give us the full output. [22:06] so if ubuntu has issues with FAT32 volumes above 32gb, whats the recommended filesystem for large usb thumb drives on ubuntu that isc ompatible with other computers/devices? [22:06] I need Java in ubuntu 13.04; certain websites require it...but unsure which package i need [22:06] VassiliAr: zlib is a library. To compile a program that needs it, you have to install the development package. For zlib, look in synaptic for a package named something like zlib-dev or libzlib-dev. [22:07] VassiliAr: why are you compiling qemu? [22:07] no the output is 2 lines only - i could add a 3rd if you like by adding the command that i used which is configure [22:07] Moseco, You can tab complete nicks to get them correct, so we are notified you are talking to us. You have to set the bios. [22:07] VassiliAr: We want to see a paste with the command in the first line and the full output of that command. [22:08] i cannot use package manager as non root - but i read and beeng told that it can be done anyway [22:08] VassiliAr: I will not tell it a fourth time. [22:08] VassiliAr: You dont need to install anything. [22:08] man 2 mins ago i didnt know what pastebin was cut me some slack here please [22:08] bekks: he means thats why he's compiling qemu, because he can't install it [22:08] Moseco, There is also a boot from menu outside the bios for a persession choiced of what to boot from, say if you want to boot a cd, or usb or the other HD without changing the bios [22:08] Naphatul: We dont even know the command he is running. [22:09] wilee-nilee: Ok, so using sudo update-grub will make the grub have windows and ubuntu in it, and then i go into the bios and set the ubuntu drive first in the list. Just to make sure i have it right. [22:09] Moseco, You have got it. ;) [22:09] wilee-nilee: Thank you very much, time to hopefully not break my computer :P [22:10] VassiliAr: If you can't use a package manager to install things, I'm afraid you can't get much further - you'll need to install the support packages for compilation, and if you can't do that then you're stuck. [22:10] here i updated the pastebin adding commandline (one of many that i tried) : http://pastebin.com/neVQb7GY [22:11] VassiliAr: Where is the FULL output of that command? [22:11] there is nothing else - i dont see anything else printed in the console [22:11] VassiliAr: There is much more, when you press enter after your command. === draconus2 is now known as draconus [22:12] VassiliAr: It starts to scroll a lot, and you will see your errors too. [22:12] VassiliAr: Anyway, someone else will help you. [22:12] bekks: Hate to say it, but you're a bit agressive. [22:13] no that is after configure finishes o have seen it - you mean after make and make install run - but i dont get to that part because to execution stops earlier [22:13] squaregoldfish: I am just refusing to help voluntarely after telling him the same thing 5 times and hearing different reason for why he is not providing the requested information. [22:15] i having a problem compiling a program can anyone help me please? [22:16] VassiliAr: What is your end goal? [22:17] to be able to use it [22:18] VassiliAr: To be able to use what? [22:19] qemu - i managed to compile zlib which is required by qemu [22:19] but when i tried to compile qemu it says i cannot find zlib libraries [22:20] VassiliAr: Why not just use qemu on a computer that you control, or why not ask the Sysadmin to install qemu for you to use? [22:22] i just dont see it happening that way jordan - but i read and been told that i could compile it and use it [22:24] i having a problem compiling a program can anyone help me please?

[22:31] Anonynimity, The source could be slow. [22:32] Anonynimity, thats not slow persay what is the max speed your allowed. [22:32] downloading from solidfiles [22:32] I haven't edited my wiki in a very long time. Now I can't get an 'edit' page even though I'm logged in - any ideas? [22:32] Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 13.04 from dvd. Installation went successful. Upon bootup, the PC is trying to boot from the network. It doesn't boot into Ubuntu (cd is removed). Pics: http://imgur.com/a/bwcly [22:33] the max speed I'm allowed is 5 MBps [22:33] I'm downloading at 12 kbps [22:33] Anonynimity, Make sure you use nicks here. [22:33] sorry wilee-nilee [22:34] Anonynimity, no biggie it just makes things easier, I'm not sure of the problem but solid files does not carry much info. [22:35] im having a problem compiling a program can anyone help me please? http://pastebin.com/neVQb7GY [22:35] I'm downloading a file stock_android_ics_4.0.3 for my fusion 2. it's 285 MBs. @ wilee-nilee [22:37] Anonynimity, Sure, I have 7MB but am throttled at 700KB on downloads, you are subject to that possibilty and the speed of the servers between you and the download. [22:37] VassiliAr: Ubuntu has a package manager for a reason, if you try to install programs without using the package manager at all 1: It will be verry difficult, much more so than just compiling a single program normally would be 2: So far away from how Ubuntu is setup to work that I'd almost say it's offtopic for this channel and 3: So tedious that you can't expect people to want to help you through it, so be happy if they do but don't expe [22:38] ok... is there a way to check if there's something hogging my bandwidth @ wilee-nilee? [22:38] Anonynimity, did you run a virus scan? [22:38] it's running visualise [22:38] Anonynimity, Not sure to be honest, I've never had to check that out. [22:38] Anonynimity, what kind? I hope it check for rootkits too [22:39] clamtk. [22:39] clamtk. @ visualise [22:40] Anonynimity, Highly unlikely you have anything resembling a badware, in linux it is basically rootkits and keyloggers and have to have root to do anything, can I assume your have not run in root and and a strong password, and know what your doing? [22:41] you* [22:41] yes, yes, yes, and yes @ wilee-nilee [22:42] offtopic for installing something in ubuntu? isnt this an ubuntu? then where should i go for help? [22:42] . [22:42] Anonynimity, Cool, just had to ask we never know. ;) Kind of out of my area to do a bottom up analysis of what might be happening. [22:43] I understand... just bugging the h377 out of me... ya know? [22:43] sure [22:44] This is by far the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life. How do I change my username from Guest though?

[22:50] im having a problem compiling a program can anyone help me please? http://pastebin.com/neVQb7GY [22:51] VassiliAr: The solution for installing qemu in Ubuntu is to run "sudo apt-get install qemu". You are doing something very different, because you don't have admin privileges on the machine you're using. You're also not just compiling a single program, so please clarify that in the future. [22:51] VassiliAr- please try sudo apt-get install zlib zlib-lib linux-headers-generic [22:51] or sudo apt-get install zlib zlib-libs linux-headers-generic [22:52] if that doesn't work remove the zlib-libs command VassiliAr [22:52] anonymity and jordan i cant use package manager cause i dont have root - but i have read that i could be done anyway and even been told so in chat rooms like this one [22:52] VassiliAr: And answers like Anonynimity gave are why you need to clarify what you're actually trying to do. You're *not* just compiling qemu. [22:53] Jordan_U >> line 4 Error:zlib check failed >> Line 5 : make sure to have the zlib libs and headers installed. [22:54] VassiliAr: Please try ##linux, and if you ask your question again without clarifying that you are trying to compile qemu and all of its build dependencies and all of its runtime dependencies without access to the package manager, I will have to mute you as you are wasting helper's time. [22:54] I have windows and ubuntu installed on two seperate hard drives and i have the ubuntu HD set in the bios to boot first yet windows boots by default, anyone know how to fix this? [22:55] who uses ubuntu with gnome 3? [22:55] ok buddy i will clarify [22:55] Moseco: do you get to GRUB? [22:55] instead of threatining me you should offer me - you are wating time i think [22:55] why not offering some ideas for a change? [22:56] VassiliAr check p2p msgs [22:56] Naphatul: If go to the bios screen and select the efi shell associated with ubuntu then i get to grub. But if i let it boot on its own it goes to windows [22:56] Moseco, down load this app and run the bootinfo summary only, and post the generated url. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [22:57] anyone have favorite applications for the terminal? [22:57] Moseco, Ah efi this a uefi W8 dual boot? [22:58] wilee-nilee: I assume you mean windows 8, i have windows 7 [22:58] wilee-nilee: Here is the link http://paste/ubuntu.com/6023114/ [22:59] Moseco, That script is helpful with some helpers if you have a uefi I can't help. I'm just trying to confirm this is a uefi, generally W8 is involved. [22:59] why not just turn off uefi if you have w7? [22:59] I have countacted WebbyIT.. what is a 'bouncer' please? [22:59] it doesn't need it [22:59] wilee-nilee: I have updated the bios (intel) to the latest and i have set UEFI not to be the only boot option [23:00] VassiliAr: I already asked you before to clarify what you're doing, and said exactly how you should do so. [23:01] wilee-nilee: Here is the link to boot repair summery: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6023114/ [23:02] Moseco, Here is a good thread on this subject, and the author is one of the best helpers in this area. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295 [23:02] Moseco, I'm not up on uefi stuff, it can be different per manufacturers versions...etc [23:03] wilee-nilee: Ok, thanks [23:03] Hey, I just installed 13.04 from the live CD environment (MD5 of the CD checks out fine). The graphical interface works when I boot the CD but after a reboot I'm stuck with a black screen with a flashing white underscore cursor. Holding shift or esc doesn't bring up a grub menu. I'm running a Phenom II, 16GB RAM, GeForce GTX570. Any suggestions appreciated. [23:03] Moseco: Please pastebin the output of "sudo efibootmgr" then the output of "sudo grub-install". [23:04] actarus488, what is WebbyIT? [23:04] in mint how do I rename trasn and computer [23:04] !mint | O[_] [23:04] O[_]: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [23:04] !nomodeset | BabsSeed [23:04] BabsSeed: 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 [23:04] they wont help [23:05] idk why [23:05] ok i got that jordan [23:05] nor will #linux [23:05] hi wilee-nilee! it is a nickname, answered: i am only a bouncer [23:05] now i ask you why dont you offer me a solution then? [23:05] VassiliAr: no problem :/ [23:05] BabsSeed, Ah no grub meanu this a dual boot or multiple HD's? [23:05] O[_]: That's unfortunate, but this channel still does not support Mint. [23:05] actarus488, Not on this channel [23:06] wilee-nilee: I have 4 HDDs but I chose to install to the specific one, encrypted but didn't manually partition or anything. [23:06] ok. [23:06] Jordan_U: I assume you mean to paste what those two commands return? [23:06] before, he leave i think [23:06] wilee-nilee: No other OS's on the machine, other HDDs are empty. [23:06] VassiliAr: Because what you're doing is incredibly tedious and I don't have the time or motivation to walk you through it (which I also explained). [23:07] wilee-nilee what is a bouncer, is a irc name? [23:07] Moseco: Yes. The "output" of a command is what it prints to the screen (stdout). Technically what it "returns" would be the exit code (a single number). [23:07] Jordan_U: Here is the output of sudo efibootmgr: BootCurrent: FFFF Timeout: 2 seconds BootOrder: 0000 Boot0000* Windows Boot Manager [23:08] at least you could point me some basic help or direction to whcih i could go - especially if thats hard to do... [23:08] Jordan_U: Here is the output of sudo grub-install: installtion finished. NO error reported [23:08] BabsSeed, I wonder if the grub bootloader is on one of the HD's have you tried booting from anyone of them? Is there anything other then a mbr set up here or an encrypted standard install, like raid...etc? [23:08] VassiliAr: What are you trying to do? [23:08] Hello, does some one know where I could find the source code for symlink(from, to) [23:08] VassiliAr: they already did that [23:08] wilee-nilee: It's an encrypted standard install. No RAID active yet (I'm planning to do that after I've got a working setup). [23:09] Jofironses: gnu.org/software/coreutils most likely [23:09] wilee-nilee: Is it likely thaat it'd install grub on another HDD? :( [23:09] then i missed that napha ' twhat did they say? [23:09] wilee-nilee however WebbyIT is in this room now u can see him [23:09] BabsSeed, You might have the grub someplace other than the HD you installed to, this have a boot partition? [23:09] Moseco: Please post the output of "sudo efibootmgr" again now that you're run grub-install (use pastebin if it's more than one line). [23:09] im trying to compile qemu without root [23:10] wilee-nilee: I'll try manually partitioning, I'm assuming that will allow me to choose where to install grub. [23:10] Naphatul: That is exactly where I am looking at right now. I see a declaration of this function in a unistd.h, but unfortunately no real function [23:10] i read that its possible and even beeng told so in these chats === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman [23:10] BabsSeed, The manual does yes, encryption can be a real hassle, I would not use it myself. [23:10] Jofironses: what do you mena no function? the source code is on that page [23:11] VassiliAr: Is there a reason that you haven't tried asking in ##linux, like I've suggested multiple times? [23:11] BabsSeed, I have an encrypted file, but not the whole OS. [23:11] VassiliAr: you need the zlib development libraries, since you can't install them through the package manager you need to find another way [23:11] Jordan_U: Sorry i am new to this, what is pastebin? [23:11] additinally you may need to use fakeroot or something like that [23:11] !pastebin | Moseco [23:11] Moseco: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [23:11] this channel isn't the place to find out how to compile it [23:12] either follow the guide or ask in #qemu [23:12] yes napha what im saying is that many guys leave when a difficulty shows up and some go one - especially if i know that it is possible to do it [23:12] wilee-nilee: I need encrypted swap :) [23:12] Jordan_U: sudo efibootmgr output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6023160/ [23:12] Naphatul: Seems like I had it wrong. Here is what I have on my unistd.c #include [23:12] #define _GL_UNISTD_INLINE _GL_EXTERN_INLINE [23:12] #include "unistd.h" [23:13] VassiliAr: because you're expecting them to do your work for you, also this is the wrong channel to ask [23:13] sup noobuntus LOL [23:13] i been to qemu its empty [23:13] Jofironses: still no idea what you're looking at [23:13] i been to qemu channel its empty [23:13] s/at/for [23:14] is i possible to know the command in use for some window program ? like the xwininfo that gives some information but not this one === eddie is now known as Guest77607 [23:14] napha i been trying to do this for 2 days already - dont you think its time i get some help? [23:14] Moseco: Please join #grub and ask why grub-install isn't succesfully adding a boot entry for your UEFI firmeware, and post a link to the output of "sudo grub-install" and "sudo efibootmgr". [23:14] VassiliAr: did you get the zlib development libraries? [23:15] Jordan_U: Thanks [23:15] VassiliAr: You are not entitled to help, especially not for something like this. [23:15] VassiliAr: If you want to be entitled to support, then pay for support services. We are all volunteers. [23:16] jeez jordan you seem like my judge doing statements like that - and why do you think other people offer help in situations like mine? [23:16] keep noobin it up noobuntus [23:17] VassiliAr: if you mean to address Jordan_U you should probably use his name instead of mine [23:17] Naphatul: I am still trying to find symlink(...). I have my /usr/include/sys/unistd.h: "#include " [23:17] Naphatul: Let me get you my unistd.h === BJfreeman is now known as Guest95068 [23:19] sorry jordan lol === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman [23:19] i find amusing that jordan tells me im not entitle for help - especially in linux where everything is for everyone [23:19] Naphatul: My /usr/include/unistd.h: does in fact have extern int symlink(__const char *__from...) [23:20] Naphatul: but still no source code [23:20] VassiliAr: I find it amusing that you keep pinging me when you mean to address Jordan_U [23:20] Naphatul: i see only the declaration [23:20] funny point of view he has - maybe its beacuse he has some authority in this chat which seems to cloud his judgement [23:20] VassiliAr: In Linux if something doesn't exist, you create it yourself, not complain like a spoilt child that no one's doing it for you. [23:20] sorry again jordan i meant jordan U [23:20] That's my $0.02 [23:20] I have a more complicated question... would someone be able to tell me how to port ubuntu phone to the huawei fusion 2? [23:21] Jofironses: i don't think they have to ship the source code, only provide it if you ask for it [23:21] so it's most likely not included [23:21] why aren't you looking at the page i linked? it contains the source code to all the coreutils, find it there [23:22] im not complaining i been trying to do this for days and thought i was time to get some human help [23:22] Naphatul: I have the downloaded project already. Opened it in my netbeans. Still cannot find the source code [23:22] VassiliAr: Try asking on qemu mailing lists, this isnt #qemu [23:22] and again i says i know its possible to do it - i read about it and been told about it in chats [23:22] im not trying to create anything new - just find out how to do it [23:22] Naphatul: I am kind of lost and don't know where to look for it [23:22] VassiliAr: then ask whoever said it was possible, you keep ignoring advice here [23:23] would someone also be able to tell me if this is a safe thing to do in ubuntu raring? http://www.unixmen.com/resolve-slow-connexion-when-using-wifi-in-ubuntu-1104-natty-narwhal/ [23:23] no im not ignoring i just cant speak with everyone at the same time and miss messages [23:23] Jofironses: lingrok.org/xref/coreutils/src/ln.c [23:23] i tried other channels and many are empty [23:23] VassiliAr: It is possible, that doesn't mean someone here wants to spend the next 4 hours explaining how to do it. Brain surgery is also possible but most surgeons wouldn't try to give you a 101. [23:23] let me check that [23:24] thx Jofironses. [23:24] lol [23:24] lol [23:24] VassiliAr: Try asking on SuperUser or ServerFault. [23:25] >> GOOGLE IT! [23:26] Anonynimity: since you're asking if it's safe then for you it's probably not [23:26] Naphatul: you could check that page you sent me, line 288 there is only a reference [23:26] BabsSeed, not with that attitude [23:26] Naphatul: line 322 the same [23:26] Just wondering Naphatul, because it says it's for Natty whirl. [23:26] but I'm running raring. [23:26] so... conflict? [23:27] Naphatul: I am not quite sure, but I am starting to guess it is implemented in the kernel. Could that be it? [23:28] i don't see anything distro specific there, but if you have to ask if it's safe it means you can't fix it if it breaks something [23:28] VassiliAr: You have a case of entitlement complex unfortunately. People here are volunteers and do a good job helping but what you're asking for is a borderline case that they would have to research and use their time on. [23:28] Jofironses: yes the actuall symlink is made with a system call, in the future use google/wikipedia more [23:29] Naphatul: I did use it, but could not find the answer. That is the reason I came here to ask [23:29] what did you search for? [23:29] symlink source code [23:29] because i have no idea how it works at all and was able to find the source and how it does it in 10 seconds [23:30] symlink source [23:30] Not true Naphatul. I followed a guide once... said to remove the dnsmasq-base package. which *stupidly* I had done. but... then... I lost all my internet connection packages. went and downloaded every single .deb package that it was dependent upon, and, about 3 million terminal lines later, it was fixed. [23:30] :) [23:30] Naphatul: Excellent, send me a page with the code then [23:30] no bab you said they dont want to spend 4 hours helping me - i dont want that i just want 1 Minute just 1 for them to point me in the right direction - thats what you dont seem to notice [23:30] VassiliAr: I'm sure if someone knew what to do they would help you. I'd suggest looking into fakeroot [23:31] VassiliAr: Or use another computer and cross compile qemu for your platform [23:31] or just set a password... and install your generic linux headers, then install the zlib package, [23:31] Jofironses: so you want the kernel code? [23:31] and be done with it... after that, disable your pw again... ? [23:32] Naphatul: I can get it myself, but I'm not sure it will be there [23:32] Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 13.04 from dvd. Installation went successful. Upon bootup, the PC is trying to boot from the network. It doesn't boot into Ubuntu (cd is removed). Pics: http://imgur.com/a/bwcly [23:32] Jofironses: The kernel code is at kernel.org [23:32] BabsSeed: I know, thanks [23:32] Jofironses: how do you mean it won't be there? [23:32] go to your bios settings mike12 [23:32] Naphatul: I mean I don't know if symlink is implemented by the kernel [23:33] im in my bios [23:33] change your first boot option to hard drive. [23:33] Jofironses: Symlinks are implemented by the filesystem [23:33] then save changes and quit [23:33] see if that doesn't help. :) [23:33] i have it like that i believe [23:33] http://imgur.com/a/bwcly [23:33] 3rd pic [23:33] How do I renew a network connection after moving a machine from one place to another? [23:33] i will try what anonymity said - i will add a password [23:33] brb [23:34] BabsSeed: I'm sorry I meant, int symlink (__const char *__from, __const char *__to). Not symlinks in general [23:34] How to change a static ip address is maybe a better question?\ [23:34] ok well then remove the network from boot order, and see what happens? [23:34] i have added your suggestion bab too [23:34] BabsSeed: Still both might be the same. Which is what I don't know [23:34] will try them later [23:34] mike12: Do you have Secure Boot enabled in the BIOS or anything else that might interfere? [23:34] Jofironses: Yes, symlink returns an int (I believe 0 is success), then accepts two inode references IIRC [23:34] cant remove it from the boot order, but you can disable network boot. Once I disable it, it no longer tries to boot from network, just says that OS not found [23:35] im looking in the BIOS now and I see Secure Boot enabled [23:35] hello? [23:35] mike12: Might try to disable it to see if it helps. [23:35] mike12: OS not found suggests the install didn't finish successfully [23:35] BabsSeed: I'm going to take a peek at kernel.org [23:35] secure boot disable didn't help [23:36] hello [23:36] Jofironses: Should be in the ext4 code IIRC, been a while since I looked at that [23:36] how can i create a shotcut into the desktop with the enlightenment 17 ? [23:36] when I try to reinstall ubunut it asks me if I want to overwrite existing ubuntu [23:36] thats why i assumed it was installed fine [23:36] ill try reinstalling [23:36] BabsSeed: k [23:36] it's says that i don have permission [23:36] Hello? [23:36] mike12: Most likely your MBR or grub didnt install correctly. [23:36] mike12: Do you have any USB disks or other hard drives plugged in? [23:37] nope [23:37] i cannot change it anony [23:37] Hello? [23:37] Extreminador, join #e for e17 related stuff like "creating shortcuts" etc. [23:37] Extreminador have you tried running it as root?

I tried installing it from apt-get, but it does not work. the error is dlopen('/usr/local/lib/libmupen64plus.so.2') failed: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /usr/local/lib/libmupen64plus.so.2) [23:42] james434, server [23:42] then install glibc-2.14 @ blkdg [23:42] blkdg, 10.10 is end of life you don't have access to the manin repos. [23:42] main* [23:43] wilee-nilee, I am comming to understand that. [23:43] So reinstall? [23:43] subman: I've had issues with network where both Windows and Ubuntu are used, because Windows doesn't free up the resource. Is it a dual boot machine by any chance? [23:43] *networks [23:43] james434, no [23:43] Anonynimity, can i get glibc 2.14 from apt-get? [23:44] idk. I haven't used 10.10 in a long time [23:44] I'm on 13.04 [23:44] blkdg, We can help you get to a supported version if you like. [23:45] subman: Have you tried this? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-release-and-renew-a-dhcp-ip-address-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid9-10-karmic9-04jaunty.html [23:45] Should work for 13.04 I think. [23:45] bye guys. [23:45] wilee-nilee, backup, download latest iso , make disk and install? [23:45] note: ifconfig has been replaced by iwconfig in 12.04 + [23:46] blkdg, That is the easiest and most reliable, yeah. [23:46] wilee-nilee, thought so. just wanted to try the emulator though... [23:47] thanks again. [23:49] ubuntu 12.04 networking question: trying to setup a pair of bonded nics (eth0/1 = bond0) (eth2/3 = bond1), my interfaces file is right, my /etc/modules lists bonding, i reboot and get a IP bound to only bond0, bond1 is missing entirely, when i cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0 i see both parts as "Mii STatus down"... this worked fine before i went to bond the NICs... [23:49] nics are broadcom. [23:49] default ubuntu install 12.04 [23:50] bond0 can ping itself, but nothing else, not the gateway, etc. [23:50] Hello i create a new thread in Ubuntuforums in hope someone knows how to fix my problem with sound: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2170099 thank you all === BJfreeman is now known as Guest91484 === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman [23:52] Hi. How can I enable the swap partition permanently? [23:52] lgc: fstab [23:52] What do you mean pernanently ? [23:53] lgc: example entry in your /etc/fstab UUID=c69df4d3-4d56-44bc-a949-93fd8bee058f none swap sw 0 0 [23:53] randomiser: To enable it every time the system boots. [23:53] That looks good to me unless you're talking about hibernation or similar [23:54] you could substitute uuid=... for your path to your swap [23:54] Jofironses: Is it safe to disable swap, though? I guess you could also change the swappiness value... [23:54] Anyone here know about samba4 problems ? [23:54] Jofironses: What's the command to obtain the uuid from a partition? [23:54] james434: I guess it depends on the memory [23:54] To obtain uuid use blkid [23:54] james434: depends on how much you've got [23:55] randomiser: what looks good to you? [23:55] lgc: you could check /dev/disk/by-uuid [23:55] after trying to reinstall ubuntu, it asks me to restart then this happens: http://i.imgur.com/5a3G1Uw.jpg - and then nothing happens [23:55] Diabling swap is OK in the whort term, longer term you'll see a slowdown as the block cache is impacted [23:55] Jofironses: I will, thanks. [23:56] lgc: example entry in your /etc/fstab UUID=c69df4d3-4d56-44bc-a949-93fd8bee058f none swap sw 0 0 [23:56] randomiser: OK. [23:56] randomiser, samba 4 is not yet available in the repo's. [23:56] Re: Samba4 I can see it and install it - [23:56] lgc: Though do make sure you get the UUID for your swap and not your partition [23:56] mike12: Did you check with the LiveCD that the hard drive's health status is OK? [23:57] Re: samba4: this is a clean 1304 server install [23:57] james434: actually i just had to hit a key and it rebooted fine...im in ubuntu now yay [23:57] Jofironses: I don't think I understand. You mean the uuid for the swap partition, don't you? [23:57] lgc: Correct [23:58] randomiser, not here, 3.6.9 sorry. [23:59] Jofironses: The swap partition is not on the /dev/disk/by-uuid directory. [23:59] lgc: just use your path then [23:59] from lsblk [23:59] Hello, I was just wondering if someone could help me with finding a Macro Mouse Recorder.
