[00:00] lgc: If you still prefer UUID you could use gparted for that [00:00] lgc: you can get the swap uuid by means of blkid [00:00] I know this isn't probably the best channel to ask. [00:01] chris310: I think there's a program called xnee. [00:01] I haven't used it myself, though. [00:03] OerHeks: Sorry, I'm confused - I see pkgs samba4, smab4-clients samba4-dev samba4-common-bin samba4-testsuite [00:03] I have 2 drives, one with windows the other with ubuntu 13.04. I have grub installed and i have the ubuntu drive set first in the boot order. But if i let the computer start up on its own it boots windows. http://paste.ubuntu.com/6023178/ === add1ct3dd is now known as add1ct3dd|away [00:06] Jofironses: Definitely looks like it [00:07] BabsSeed: k, Thanks! :) [00:07] Moseco: Does grub show up before it boots to Windows? [00:08] james434: No, only shows if if i manually boot ubuntu [00:09] * visualise pentests secured's box [00:09] (just to check) [00:10] im having a problem compiling a program without root can anyone help me please? http://pastebin.com/neVQb7GY [00:11] Jofironses: randomiser I added the corresponding entry to /etc/fstab but it doesn't seem to mount. No error either. [00:11] * visualise pets ris [00:11] did you try using swapon? [00:11] Moseco: If you physically disconnect the Windows drive, then it works as you intend? [00:11] sudo swapon [00:12] Jofironses: no. But It should mount nevertheless, shouldn't it? [00:12] james434: Yes, it boots the ubuntu disk and grub comes up [00:12] Yeah it should, but swapon could at least give us a log of why it is not mounting [00:13] The default boot is the windows boot manager, is there a way to set the efi shell associated with ubuntu disk first? [00:13] Moseco: Have you tried the suggestions on this page? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [00:13] Jofironses: when I do sudo swapon it prints the options list. [00:13] Jofironses: No problem. [00:13] lgc: sudo swapon UUID=XXXX [00:13] james434: Ill take a look, thanks [00:14] james434, Xnee seems a bit confusing, and it crashed when i wanted to record/ :( [00:14] pwned [00:14] Jofironses: I used /dev/sda4 on the fstab table. [00:14] lgc: actually sudo swapon -v /dev/sda4 [00:15] lgc: or "sudo swapon -v -a" [00:15] Jofironses: it seems it worked. [00:15] chris310: I just found out there's also a program called xmacro for that. [00:15] lgc: great, I guess it should work from now on then [00:15] Jofironses: but I'm puzzled because it doesn't appear in the mount table. [00:16] lgc: It shouldn't [00:16] lgc: You can check it with free [00:16] Jofironses: how come? [00:17] lgc: I don't know, I guess that is just how things are. [00:17] lgc: Because you don't actually moun tit [00:17] Jofironses: what do you mean by free? [00:17] execute free [00:17] in command line [00:17] Jofironses: Oh, I got it. [00:18] Yes, it reports the swap space, Jofironses . [00:18] lgc: great [00:19] Jofironses: Indeed! One last thing: I'm not sure why swapon made the change permanently. Does it modify some configuration table or such? [00:19] Jofironses: I mean file, not table. [00:19] lgc: On the contrary, it does not make it permanent. It is only until you reset your computer. But since it works your fstab is also working [00:20] lgc: Therefore once you reboot it should work too [00:20] im having a problem compiling a program without root can anyone help me please? http://pastebin.com/neVQb7GY [00:20] Jofironses: Thanks. Let me try that. [00:22] VassiliAr: Why not compile on a system where you have root? Or on a live system? [00:22] foot [00:22] Jofironses: In fact, it's there after reboot. Thanks a lot! [00:23] james you mean i could try getting a pre built package or similar? [00:27] VassiliAr: That could be an option, yes. [00:29] if I installed ubuntu onto an sd card for use in a laptop, the installer being run on a different computer, will i run into any driver issues or other issues? [00:29] Moseco, Have you gone to the #grub channel as suggested earlier? [00:29] wilee-nilee: I did, no one responded [00:30] pie_: It depends on the hardware that the other system uses. [00:30] Moseco, Takes some time. AS of now you can boot either OS righ, you just want grub to be what you see first, am I correct? [00:31] wilee-nilee: That is right [00:31] james434, as far as i can tell neither has anything special, ie raid or stuff [00:32] though i do need to change /dev/sdb1 to /dev/sda1 on the new machine [00:32] i thingk [00:32] Moseco, I'm not sure but I suspect that you are set, withe uefi setup it is a little different is all. I would be really careful in getting any help here, you had one person who is the only one I would trust suggest grub. [00:32] When I do sudo halt the poweroff process is not completed. What gives? [00:32] pie_: If they are more or less similar, then it should be fine. But also check what graphics cards they use as that is one of the most common problems. [00:33] lgc: because that's not how to turn off a computer. sudo shutdown -h 0 [00:33] heh, too poor for graphics cards, though the laptop has one, so ill look into that [00:33] wilee-nilee: Ok, thanks. [00:33] daftykins: It used to work. [00:33] Moseco,Otherwise I would use the ubuntu forums and the author of that thread I believe I linked you to. [00:33] lgc, halt is only part of the general shutdown process isnt it? [00:34] pie_: Is it? I would think otherwise, but please enlighten me. [00:34] wilee-nilee: Ok [00:35] lgc, im asking, idk (too busy to google) [00:35] anyone would care to help here? [00:36] fabioporto: Help with what? [00:36] did something stupid while installing 13.04 [00:36] !ask | fabioporto [00:36] fabioporto: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [00:37] does anyone know of anyway to escape from a non-responsive fullscreen program? [00:37] Sector_0: switch to a TTY and kill the process? *shrug* [00:37] ctrl-alt-f1 does not work for me and I can't seem to get it to work [00:37] Sector_0: Alt+F2, then type xkill and click on the program. [00:37] hmm, ok, no pvt msgs huh? ok... [00:38] james434: alt-f2 doesn't bring up a menu [00:39] well, I replaced my latest distro (Mint 15) with ubuntu 13.04 and I lost everything I had ... tried using " TestDisk" but no luck there, so this is my last resource [00:40] fabioporto, Are you using the HD right now? [00:42] unfortunately, yes, it's the only one I have... I know I shouldn't be... but there's simply no other way I can use the computer... and I even tried running TesDisk while using a bootable pendrive, but i got nothing [00:42] Sector_0: Do you mean nothing happens if you try that? [00:43] the partitions where I used to keep all my personal files were gone [00:43] :/ [00:43] fabioporto, If you used testdisk correctly I doubt there is anything can be done, and if so I doubt you will get it here. And continuing to use the HD is not a smart idea, you would use a live cd. [00:44] fabioporto: Have you backed up your files to somewhere else? Also keep in mind that any drive could fail at any time, regardless of the operating system. So, you should always have a backup of important files... [00:46] I know... right know I can't even remember what files I had in this computer that could possibly be important, but I'm afraid I might just find that out someday and then it will be long gone [00:47] I haven' t been using this laptop that much, and yes I do have a portable drive, I'm just not sure everything was there, you know? I'm afraid I might have lost something important nad just not realized yet [00:48] fabioporto: Well, if I were you, I would make a backup image of that drive, just in case. [00:49] how is that so? [00:49] fabioporto: If you are not sure if you lost important files, then it's probably a good idea to make a backup anyway. [00:49] you mean even know when everything is lost? could I keep trying to recover anything from this image? [00:51] fabioporto: If you didn't overwrite the entire disk with new data, then there is a fair chance to get the files back. [00:51] how am I supposed to do that? backup everything? even the "blank" areas of the HD? 'cause right now all I've got is a 320GB hd with only ubuntu installed and my lost files hidden there, somewhere, underneath a new partition that is has created [00:52] Please teach me how to do that, I'll try anything [00:55] fabioporto: You could boot into a live system and use TestDisk. [00:55] james434: yes that's what I mean [00:56] the screen just remains the same [00:56] TestDisk can do that? [00:57] which option should I use? Would you happen to know that? :) [00:57] fabioporto: In any case, you should not be using the drive that you are trying to restore files from. Any write activity on that drive could overwrite your files. [00:57] I know :/ [00:58] I'll only use the live usb drive from now on [00:58] Sector_0: You could also use another tty to kill the process. [00:58] I still don't understand how it can be possible to create that image [00:59] james434: none of them work :/ [00:59] I mean, including my files that are marked as blank now [00:59] tried Ctrl-Alt-f1-f6 [00:59] fabioporto: If you just create a new partition, then it doesn't overwrite the entire drive with new data. [00:59] the sreen just goes black [00:59] I know [00:59] fabioporto: The underlying data is probably still there. :) [01:00] but I can return from it using ctrl-alt-f7 like normal [01:00] that's why I haven't given up yet [01:00] I've read that it has something to do with video cards but I'm not sure how to fix it [01:00] Sector_0: What happens if you press ctrl+alt+T ? [01:00] but I'm not so confident... I mean... the partitions were deleted and another one was created on top of them... how bad that can be? [01:01] Sector_0: Can you open a terminal window? [01:01] james434: that brings up a normal terminal window [01:01] but that doesn't happen in a fullscreen application [01:02] fabioporto: You could still give TestDisk a try. [01:02] What's the command to find out my machine's IP address? [01:03] lgc: ifconfig [01:03] usr13: thanks. [01:03] ok, I'll do that. Thank you for the support James434. :) [01:04] Sector_0: If you have a terminal window open, then you can type killall processname.

[01:07] those sound like different problems [01:08] lgc: ifconfig |grep Bcast [01:08] James434: can I paste a link here? So you can tell me if this is a valid try? [01:08] lgc: service ssh start [01:09] fabioporto: Sure, but I don't know very much about TestDisk myself. [01:09] james434: (He probably just didn't scroll up.) [01:09] usr13: It doesn't.

[01:10] do you think this DD tool could help me with that image? [01:10] usr13: ctrl-f2 doesn't do anything [01:10] lgc: firefox ipchicken.com [01:11] and if you mean alt-f2, I can't access that from a fullscreen app [01:11] usr13: whatismyip.com gives me an address I can't find on the ifconfig report. [01:12] lgc: correct [01:12] fabioporto: I would suggest something easier, like CloneZilla or Ghost4Linux. [01:12] SchrodingersScat: but there must be some command to find out, I gather. [01:12] lgc: people have arrived at several solutions [01:13] lgc: Correct. (That is not what ifconfig is for.) (ifconfig [without argument[ tells you information about your network interface.) [01:13] SchrodingersScat: like which ones? === BTCOxygen is now known as Guest29389 === BTCOxygen|1 is now known as BTCOxygen [01:14] it says here that only the used blocks are copied with clonezilla :/ [01:15] lgc: http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/matching/external-ip-address/ZXh0ZXJuYWwgaXAgYWRkcmVzcw==/sort-by-votes there's some [01:15] fabioporto: It also supports sector-to-sector copy by using dd.

Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/ZhCLV1BX [01:18] SchrodingersScat: Interesting. But I wonder why one has to go out and ask for it. It should be stored on the machine somewhere, shoudn't it? [01:19] lgc: curl ifconfig.me [01:19] lgc: why? that's mostly my router's business [01:20] SchrodingersScat: OK, so why isn't there a command to prompt the router for the IP address? [01:21] lgc: There are many types of routers. [01:21] James434: once again, thanks for your help [01:21] I'll see what I can do here [01:22] lgc: wget -O - -q icanhazip.com [01:23] usr13: It's still like "go ask John Doe what my IP is". [01:23] lgc: curl ident.me [01:24] lgc: So login to your router's status page. [01:24] or better yet, learn to use curl to login to your router's status page [01:24] usr13: ident.me is an external site? [01:25] usr13: Yes, but that's not quite direct. [01:26] SchrodingersScat: I can't quite make out what curl does. [01:26] lgc: it's not directly your IP either, so an indirect answer may have to suffice. [01:26] SchrodingersScat: I see. [01:27] lgc: But, even if you log into your router's status page, you'll see the router's outside IP but that still may not really be your "outside" IP, (or at least not your "public" IP on the internet, if that is in fact what you are looking for). ("outside IP" is a bit vague or ambiguous) [01:27] usr13: OK. [01:28] lgc: ... so you would have to define "outside IP", (more fully). [01:29] lgc: *Your* "ooutside" IP may not realy be *yours*, it may be your ISP's and you may be sharing it with lots of other people. [01:30] usr13: The IP address your provider assigns to you. [01:30] lgc: It all depends on your type of connection to the outside [01:30] usr13: As far as I know it's unique, albeit on a temporary basis. [01:31] What I mean is that if you have a certain address, no one can have it. [01:31] lgc: Not always, actually usually not. [01:32] lgc: In other words, not true. It depends on what kind of service you have. [01:32] Herbal Incense, Legal Buds, Enhancements, Scales, Vapes, Extracts, http://legal.smokemarket.ru/ [01:33] usr13: Hmmm... [01:33] 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 [01:34] lgc: There are a number of different types of connections we may have to the "outside" [internet], and one single "outside" IP address is often times shared by many users. [01:35] usr13: This is the first time I hear this. [01:36] lgc: lots of information can be found here http://is.gd/mcJvOt [01:36] usr13: How would the data packets that are bound to your machine would arrive if there are more with the same IP? [01:36] lgc: Many ISPs will charge extra for a dedicated "outside" IP, (otherwise, you share one with many other users, sometimes hundreds). [01:37] lgc: Well, one way would be a process refered to as ipmasquerading [01:37] Ah, OK, usr13 . [01:38] usr13: It's been an enlightening conversation. I've got now reading material. For the time being I need to go. [01:39] lgc: Ok, let us know if there is anything else we can do.

[01:57] no i dont have root - im a regular user [01:59] VassiliAr: But why is it you can not use sudo? (Being a "regular user" does not explain why you are not able to use sudo.)

[02:03] VassiliAr: why wouldn't you use a binary [02:03] no its not but i use it frequently [02:03] VassiliAr: Open a terminal window and type "cat /etc/issue" (without the quotes), hit enter, tell us what it says? [02:03] the output i got is : Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS \n \l [02:03] VassiliAr: ok, if you don't know the sudo password then you should ask the administrator to install qemu for you. [02:04] VassiliAr: Ahhh ok. Well it is not a good idea to try install software on someone else's computer without their permission. (Did you ask first?) [02:04] I didn't think people built as root anyway... [02:04] VassiliAr: Or as IdleOne suggests, ask your system administrator [02:05] admins dont care about their users - thats not gonna work [02:05] only what i can do [02:05] VassiliAr: Well, that is not really the way it works.

[02:25] not yet [02:25] just got it reinstalled again [02:26] side question: when i change the passwd of a user does the sudo passwd also changes? [02:26] the root passwd? [02:27] linuxuz3r, The admin password is the sudo password, and there is no root password. [02:28] linuxuz3r, and you can have more than one users with administrator rights and thus more than one admin passwords [02:28] i just installed ubuntu 13.04 and the desktop wont show up it just shows a terminal screen saying "dannyedwardslaptop Logon: *Starting" i dont know what to do i tried startx and it says display not detected [02:28] so if i change the user passwd it also changes the sudo passwd?

[02:37] how do i do that? [02:38] scarrz: you would need to determine if that is necessary/possible. what would i do? make the live cd go to the desktop. maybe using nomodeset that i linked you already would help do that [02:39] scarrz: from there i would learn what graphics card i have, and if the desktop works on the hardware.. then i would reference..

I am unable to format a disk, and every time I use gparted/partitionmanager the new partition table does not apply/stay. [03:12] ubuntuissues: i would look at the disk then.. maybe its bad or failing.. [03:13] Hello [03:14] Anybody here have experience with xubuntu? [03:14] I'm having a little trouble with it. [03:14] Koveryl: just ask. [03:15] Does someone with ops mind kicking ChukwaTa, he is a spam bot and just PM'ed me the N word. [03:15] Alright. Well, I'm trying to figure out how to make the icons work kinda like the ones in Win7/Ubuntu. But instead, to access any window I have open, I have to alt-tab to it. [03:15] ubuntuissues, you can't make a new partition table with gparted unless you're on the gparted live cd or the ubuntu live cd [03:15] ubuntuissues: use your /ignore feature [03:16] BluesKaj, that would seem ridiculous, especially if the drive isn't mounted.

If I enter my password and select Ubuntu or Ubuntu 2D and hit enter the screen blinks black and then lightdm loads up again and no desktop starts. Any ideas what trouble could be? [03:39] a1cypher: your session.. i would try another user, or the guest account to test that theory.. or move/remove/rename .config files in your /home [03:39] looking in /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log I see "Session 3687 got 1 message(s) from PAM" [03:39] holstein: only one user on the box. I'll try guest. [03:40] a1cypher: you can always add a user via commandline to see.. this will help you determine if its a system issue, or user config issue [03:40] hrm.. guest seems to work. What do I delete to get my user working again? I dont care much about any lost settings or whatever, its just an XBMC box. [03:41] a1cypher: then, you can move *everything* out of your /home if you want.. all the .files.. someitmes, i just move them all, and test and put back what i need [03:42] rip dvd [03:42] hrm...

[04:08] the server is on Amaazon EC2 [04:08] DougsTech: you can just copy all its files over ssh [04:09] reisio, I'm new to linux. I know with windows, that would BSOD it. so, I can just SCP everything from the server to a new drive and it will boot just fine? [04:10] DougsTech: almost [04:10] you might have to change some kernel configurations/modules [04:10] and the partition/layout/configuration/grub stuff [04:10] but that's all really [04:11] ah ok, but those are just config file changes for the most part, right? not stuff like drivers? [04:11] yeah, I mean [04:11] you copy the filesystem [04:11] what changes is the hardware [04:11] and where those files are [04:11] so drivers & grub, basically [04:11] if the partition layout changes, that too [04:12] but just copying the data is 99.999% of the way there [04:12] ah ok. thanks! [04:12] the simplest way would probably be to tar it up [04:12] then you won't have to worry about special files and permissions getting messed up on any other FS you transfer to [04:13] DougsTech: tar -zxvf docs.tgz -C /mnt/memstick/backup/ or gzip < /dev/hda > /mnt/hdb1/system_drive_backup.img.gz or dd if=/dev/sda2 | ssh $user@$host 'gzip - > /pub/image.gz' [04:13] you can tar and redirect the output of the network to save space, or just tar it up remotely and transfer the tar file alone [04:13] see this is the tricky part, its an amazon EC2 server, so no access other than SSH, so I have nowhere to save the tar besides the sam drive I'm taring [04:13] but not dd, that'll waste your time :) [04:14] DougsTech: or to a drive connected to your network [04:14] scp it to your local system [04:14] man 1 scp [04:14] Hey people, question.. My tty1-6 suddenly stopped working. All I get is no signal from my monitor but I can still go back to my gui.

[04:15] DougsTech: yup [04:15] DougsTech: gzip < /dev/hda | ssh remote-machine "cat >system_drive_backup.img.gz" [04:15] syn-ack, what do you mean scp to local? [04:15] DougsTech: cd / && tar -czf everything.tar.gz . [04:15] DougsTech: it'll probably complain about some things, but it shouldn't be anything to worry about, otherwise you can exclude certain things if you want: http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/HOWTO_Custom_Stage4#Tar_the_System [04:16] DougsTech: Pack the tarball and scp it from their to your local system [04:16] from there, even [04:16] right, scp is just cp for over ssh :) [04:16] s/for // [04:16] DougsTech: cp /dev/hda1 /mnt/hdb1/system_partition_backup.img [04:16] I had a boyfriend named Ubuntu once.

I want to block it, so that the user can't change the default session [04:30] hexy: If so, try booting the 3.2.0-51 kernel. [04:31] usr13: Yes, but as I said, I haven't tried it in a while since I use synergy and if I go to any (tty1-6), I can't control the machine anymore and I'd have to use a direct keyboard to go back to gui [04:31] Hola! [04:32] hexy: I don't know. [04:32] usr13: Well, how do I boot into a different kernel?? [04:33] miguel123: probably, I know they have some prefs for that, avialable via xfconf, I think [04:34] miguel123: stuff like this: http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=4781 [04:34] hexy: Hold shift key as it boots, you'll get the grub menu and see a list of installed kernels available to boot, you should see several. [04:34] Okay, thanks. [04:34] miguel123: I forget the commands, but xfconf-/whatever will be able to list all the options [04:34] hexy: Use up or down arrows to select [04:35] xfconf-query, yes reisio but I'm not seeing any option related to disable the save session option [04:35] miguel123: you figure out the command to list everything yet? [04:37] I do xfconf-query -l -c xfce4-session [04:37] miguel123: you could just disable the session manager altogether [04:37] Hello, I have installed Ubuntu last night, my internet speed was real slow last night, I selected Download updates while installing, and I go to sleep.

Either way, I only have: ubuntu with linux 3.2.0-52-generic-pae Ubuntu.........3.2.0-52....(recovery mode) and then I have Previous linux versions. [04:39] Chris123: Apart of repeating, did you restarted your machine? [04:39] miguel123: how about this [04:40] miguel123: make sure the 'save session on logout' pref is set to no [04:40] usr13: I fixed the selection... which should I select? [04:40] qin: yup, I restarted it then. [04:40] "previous linux versions" is a submenu with older kernels [04:40] or at least it should be [04:40] Chris123: and? [04:40] miguel123: then just remove any things for logout, and replace them with a shortcut to xfce4-session-logout [04:40] xmetal: Yes, you're right [04:40] Thanks [04:40] miguel123: oh bah nevermind, that's the gui [04:41] miguel123: okay I got it [04:41] miguel123: alias xfce4-session-logout to xfce4-session-logout --logout ;) [04:41] then any logout buttons/items will just log them out without a prompt [04:42] what I am trying to say is, as my Internet was real slow last night and i selected download updates from online, was the installation go erfect? [04:42] miguel123: or even --fast, man xfce4-session-logout has everything you need :) [04:42] usr13: Well, even after booting to 3.2.0-51, I can't use my tty [04:42] =[ [04:42] i am still not sure what the question is [04:42] Chris123: either it was or it wasn't, reboot and find out [04:42] hmm [04:42] yo , is chanserv set to steal nicknames around here [04:43] it would be dangerous to do that: when the battery power is low, the xfce4-session-logout gui appears, or when you press the power button, it also appears, so I wouldn't want that to happen [04:43] what's the difference if I use --fast? [04:43] Chris123: type in terminal: sudo apt-get install -f #to install any missing updates; then: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade #that all. [04:43] miguel123: good question [04:43] seems like either would suffice [04:44] reisio: ok, if it was not able to update from internet due to bad in ternet speeds, can I just update now via software updater, or need to reinstall? [04:44] Chris123: if your network works, you can update all you like [04:44] * xmetal agrees with reisio [04:44] qin: ok [04:45] * reisio agrees with xmetal [04:46] Hey xmetal, would you care to help a bit please? [04:46] Would you happen to know why would tty1-6 stop working? All I get is a 'no signal' from my monitor [04:47] hexy: did you try to boot with "text" parameter? [04:48] qin: Nope, how do I do that? [04:49] reisio, so I'm afraid there isn't really a way to remove the "save session" option, which is quite annoying [04:49] wonder what was facoid for that... [04:49] well there are lots of ways :) [04:49] you could even remove it from the source and compile the binary [04:49] there may well be no very simple way, though :) [04:50] i tried to compile xfce4-session [04:50] hexy: in grub (shift at boot) you can edit booting flags, so change splash to text in kernel line (e for edit) [04:50] but there's no option to disable it in the configure file [04:50] qin: Is this good ? http://askubuntu.com/questions/92276/how-do-i-boot-into-true-text-mode [04:50] miguel123: delete it from the source :) [04:50] qin: Okay, I'll use your method [04:50] hexy: probably [04:51] I don't know C to do it reisio [04:52] you don't need to, really [04:52] I think I found a way to do it [04:52] yeah? [04:52] you can lock the xml files properties in kiosk mode [04:53] I'll fiddle with that [04:53] I got a brand new Toshiba Satellite and I can't get the wireless to work.

[06:28] e_t_: upload where? [06:28] via ftp [06:29] Shadowandlight: you should be able to chroot the FTP user to your upload directory. [06:30] sudo usermod -d /var/www/wordpress -m username gave me an error [06:30] cause the directory already exsists [06:31] was it an actual error or just a warning? [06:32] well good question - usermod: directory /var/www/wordpress exists [06:32] I have a problem with grub. I have windows 7 installed on 1 disk and ubuntu on a 2nd disk (it is efi type). I have installed grub and used the repair tool but when i default boot it boots windows even though i have the ubuntu disk 1st in the bios boot order. Here is the output of sudo efibootmgr http://paste.ubuntu.com/6023160/ [06:33] Moseco_: why not use ubuntu single on your system [06:33] Shadowandlight: check /etc/passed to see if the homedir was set anyway. [06:33] that is a grub configuration thing ... dont think it matters where the disks are [06:34] (ok i didn't word the second half of that the way i wanted) [06:34] hey guys quick question, how can i check if im allowing people to connect to my laptop with SSH. I use Xubuntu for a desktop and i want to make sure you cannot access my computer via SSH [06:34] i tried running service ssh stop [06:34] and it said unrecognized [06:34] Moseco_: GRUB has to be installed on /dev/sda [06:34] so that means im not running it? [06:34] Shadowandlight: passwd* [06:34] sshd i think [06:34] lotuspsychje: You mean only use ubuntu? [06:34] Psil0Cybin: nmap yourself [06:35] Moseco_: not /dev/sda1 or /dev/sda2 [06:35] Moseco_: yes, your system will be great [06:35] sshd: unrecognized service it says that [06:35] user:x:1003:1004:user user,user,,:/var/www/wordpress:/bin/bash [06:35] so im guessing it isnt running? [06:35] e_t_: [06:35] i will be honest (esp with grub2) i am not sure how to edit the files manually (harder than grub legacy, and i thought that was a piece of cake) ... i would run "grub-customizer" and tell it to boot ubuntu first [06:35] lotuspsychje: I want to play games on windows side [06:35] !ssh | Psil0Cybin [06:35] Psil0Cybin: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage.

[07:38] ShapeShifter499, MAYBE you might be able to find something in phoronix-test-suite [07:39] ShapeShifter499, don't quote me on this, but I would be that the GPU would be clocked in one of those tests [07:39] DragYourHalo, OK - gimme a sec here [07:40] Caveat4U, http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com??

[07:56] HypnotiX: what does smartctl -a /dev/sda (or sdX or whatever) about uncorrectable offline, reallocated, pending, etc [07:56] HypnotiX: in your new WD drive? [07:57] 22 is kind of a lot of bad sectors... [07:57] have to install smartctl first :) [07:57] If it already had raid metadata I'd question if it was new.. [07:57] nowayride, Agreed - time for a new HD [07:57] its not new, i got it from a friend that didnt use it much [07:58] nowayride: what do i need to install to run smartctl [07:58] smartmontools [07:58] ok [07:58] Just typing smartctl (or any package) should tell you the base package(s) you need to install BTW [07:59] HypnotiX: man badblocks [07:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6024199/ smartctl output [07:59] i suspect phone kernel is throwing an excenption and a bunch of ones [07:59] So %pre should trigger before the installer starts hitting downloads no? [08:00] 12.04.2 LTS [08:00] HypnotiX: smart test passed, i would use the drive till it dies [08:00] Who was I working with with the mysql issue? [08:00] HypnotiX: you got other errors on ubuntu or freezes? [08:00] I can't remember the damn nick [08:00] no m8, i just need to decide if i should buy it or not [08:00] Caveat4U: Sharp... [08:00] That drive has like 280 days of use on it.. so it wasn't that lightly used. 22 isn't terrible and they're pending, the offline unc isn't good though [08:01] HypnotiX: lol dont buy a hd with bad sectors [08:01] lotuspsychje: smart can "pass" and the drive still corrupts data [08:01] lotuspsychje, I changed Linux distros and lost all my logs [08:01] nowayride: 20 pending sectors? Throw it away [08:01] A drive with 1 pending sector should be written off [08:02] nowayride: i know, but if he had the hd fofr free, i would use it till it dies completly [08:02] user: I agree, if it was free I'd still find a use for it, HypnotiX basically it isn't "dead" but if it gets any more errors you'll be getting filesystem issues prett yquickly [08:02] damn ok [08:02] :p [08:02] lotuspsychje: exactly, it's not completely gone but it's not something I'd put my homework on [08:02] HypnotiX: i got good experiences on seagates and ubuntu [08:02] so i shouldnt buy it [08:02] Buy? No [08:03] HypnotiX, definetely not [08:03] Unless it's dirt cheap and you want a junk drive to play with, I wouldn't use it for a normal drive [08:03] HypnotiX: if you want rocketfast ubuntu, buy a cheap ssd [08:03] this smart data cant be wrong right? [08:03] Um, no. That's from the drive's controller [08:03] okay [08:04] What size/how much is he asking [08:04] hellhello, I'm trying to have docky to load at the start of my mate session : http://paste.ubuntu.com/6024194/ . This is the .desktop file in /etc/xdg/autostart. Is anything wrong ? [08:04] so what hdd do you guys recommend if im not too offtopic :) [08:04] Just curious [08:04] nowayride: its a 1tb WD [08:04] well its like 30% off shop price [08:04] HypnotiX: lol def not buy it [08:04] Yeah no.. [08:05] DX099: this is an ubuntu support channel, not mate [08:05] i really want a viable hdd, wd or seagate? :P [08:05] i dont care much for speed [08:05] HypnotiX: seagate is stable as rock [08:06] HypnotiX, oh wait - wait is the type of HD you were considering buying off your friends? [08:06] as in brand? [08:06] wd [08:06] black [08:06] HypnotiX: try the ##hardware channel to ask best buys mate [08:07] HypnotiX: depending on budget, the 2tb-3tb range is a pretty good bang for buck. I forget which, but one costs really close to the next lowest size tier, and the next up is way more [08:07] is there any way to get rid of desktop tearing in xubuntu? I have the nvidia drivers installed, its on 120hz ... not sure what else to do [08:07] Caveat4U: tried synaptic and manually installing the .deb file via sudo dpkg and still getting that error. I even went as far as to remove LAMP completely and reinstall. Nothing. [08:07] DragYourHalo, OK - [08:07] Could it be a fullblown bad base system? [08:07] Can you throw me your pastebin one more time [08:08] Can anyone tell me why I'm getting errors? I posted a paste earlier but no one was around to answer. [08:08] bah [08:08] Wrong line [08:08] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6023929/ [08:08] DragYourHalo, nah - there's ALWAYS something funky that happens with libmysqlclient-dev [08:08] the system runs steam games fine, plays HD movies fine with no tearing... but any time I drag a window around on the desktop or scroll in firefox I get massive screen tearing [08:08] Probably a stupid question... BUT... could upgrading to 13.04 fix the problem or make it owrk? [08:09] I am using 13.04 :( [08:09] DragYourHalo, defintely not [08:09] thanx guys [08:09] Monkeytoe: are you using default driver from ubuntu install [08:09] no, using the nvidia one [08:09] Monkeytoe: did it show in your additional drivers? [08:10] yep [08:10] Monkeytoe: did default driver caused problems? [08:11] default drivers wouldnt show second monitor and the first monitor wouldnt use the full screen .. its like it was running at 1280 x 720 when the monitor runs at 1920x1080.. [08:11] DragYourHalo, give me a minute - I have another hunch [08:11] Monkeytoe: but you didnt experience tearing on default driver? [08:12] yes I experienced tearing [08:12] on both drivers [08:12] hmm [08:12] from what I understand from the searches I have done is this is an issue with compositing [08:12] Monkeytoe: what graphics card chip? [08:12] GTX Titan [08:13] DragYourHalo: so what does the error line actually say? [08:14] checking for libmysqlclient lib... configure: error: Cannot find libmysqlclient.so in /usr/lib/mysql use --with-mysql-lib=? [08:15] Monkeytoe: maybe #xubuntu guys might know what causes the tearing, still looking up [08:15] Ha - OK DragYourHalo - I THINK I found something [08:15] Let me write the command [08:15] Monkeytoe: maybe this can help too: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/xfce-sync-to-vblank-support-for-xfwm.html [08:16] also I have tried installing compton as well [08:16] didnt seem to help [08:17] im thinking of just ditching xfce [08:17] Monkeytoe: can your system handle regular ubuntu? [08:18] yes but I dont like unity at all [08:18] Monkeytoe: test gnome shell maybe? [08:19] just install gnome from the software center? [08:19] !gnome | Monkeytoe [08:19] Monkeytoe: GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu up to 10.10 To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. [08:19] hmm [08:19] !info gnome-shell [08:19] gnome-shell (source: gnome-shell): graphical shell for the GNOME desktop. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.6.3.1-0ubuntu6 (raring), package size 269 kB, installed size 932 kB [08:20] DragYourHalo, do you have the libmysqld-dev library installed to? [08:20] too* [08:21] wilee-nilee: Thanks for your help last night, looks like the default installer put grub on the wrong HDD. When I set up manual partitions it worked. Now I have RAID-10 working as well, Ubuntu looks much better than my old distro, far more desktop-worthy. [08:21] Caveat4U: installing it now. Apparently it wasn't. [08:21] I will attempt to install once more. [08:21] Caveat4U: same error [08:21] damn [08:22] I just wanna smack it in the face lol [08:22] BabsSeed, No problem, glad you git it all going. [08:22] brb [08:23] I COMPLETELY understand [08:24] Well I think I'm going to crash for the night. I will leave this channel open. If anyone gets any ideas, shoot me a pm and I will try them when I wake up. [08:24] Thanks again Caveat4U for the attempts. It'll get figured out. [08:24] DragYourHalo, sorry dude - night [08:25] It's no problem. Thank you for your time. [08:26] DragYourHalo: Looks like you ae compiling your own LAMP stack? [08:26] bekks - he was trying to install mysqltcl-3.05 [08:27] tcl? OMG :D [08:27] bekks, his pastebin is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/6023929/ [08:28] Caveat4U: DragYourHalo: "use --with-mysql-lib=?" -- did you use that, when configuring? [08:28] bekks, If you search is username - you can see what we tried [08:28] http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2013/08/25/%23ubuntu.txt [08:28] The problem was bekks that the program was looking in /usr/lib/mysql already [08:29] which was supposedly where his schtuff was installed per a simple ls we did [08:29] I couldn't figure out where else to specify [08:30] Caveat4U: were the development headers installed? [08:30] Caveat4U: installing just the client libraries isn't enough [08:30] Caveat4U: "--with-mysql-lib=/usr/lib/mysql" and the mysql headers are needed. [08:31] Saw you guys talking as I walked past... what do I need to see if it's installed? [08:31] hi all, Ubuntu Precise using a 3.5 Quantal backported kernel. In a rescue prompt are the same Kernel modules able to be loaded, in this case speakup and speakup_soft [08:32] gordonjcp, we did libmysqld-dev and libmysqlclient-dev [08:32] gordonjcp, what other package(s) would you recommend? [08:34] Okay so last shot before I pass out.. anyone know why wget might not be working on %pre? I just have a simple %pre \n wget url -O /dev/null but my webserver never sees the hit [08:40] nowayride, maybe try a log fille [08:41] where is the PAM log file? or how to investigate if an application failing to authenticate? [08:41] Tried but it's before it installs so it never really saves it anwhere [08:41] Like %pre --log=/root/my-post-log [08:41] ? [08:41] That logs to the final filesystem? [08:41] Technically this is in centos's docs, http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/KickStart [08:42] Look for "Logging %pre and %post" [08:42] O snap that might work [08:42] Once again - a shot in the dark [08:43] Progress over what I had [08:43] nowayride, I'm out for the night - but good luck? [08:43] Heh thanks that's a good find at least [08:43] no worries [08:43] night! [08:46] hello there [08:46] Hello [08:46] got new firefox, but it does not open transmission when opening torrents , it used to , but no any more.. [08:47] hi all I just after some advice Im not sure if I should run vmware-esx and run my ubuntu server in that with other vm's such as a windows xp client or run ubuntu server natively then use virtual box or something like that for the windows guest? [08:47] the "magnet" extension does not show either [08:48] Calrik: how often are you going to use xp vs ubuntu [08:49] woud go for virtual box.. check it out, they got two versions though one in ubuntu package channel ( open source version ) and one from website ( .deb ) the latter i found better [08:49] dual boot is also option afcause .. [08:49] well the xp machine will need to provide ui for my security cameras [08:49] I would have have both running [08:50] dedicated separate machine would be best ( in this case ) [08:50] ubuntu server going to hosting plex plus my web development server [08:51] does duplicate sources.list fuck with anything? [08:51] or is it entirely benign? [08:51] would there a big performance drop if I use a virtual ubuntu appliance on esx server as a plex media server? [08:51] ESXi might be a better bet, it's a true hypervisor meant for keeping multiple OSes running [08:52] yer Im just installed ESXi [08:52] There's also Xenserver and Xen :) [08:52] but worried about the performance hit for server media files [08:52] serving media files rather [08:52] I can vouch for Xen not sucking [08:53] I use it to run 4 OS's simultaneously [08:53] Really if one is utilized a lot less than the other VB would be fine but XP is a little heavy compared to Ubuntu and might just drag it down a bit [08:53] I would be running ubuntu server with no ui [08:53] Xenserver's a lot easier to manage with CLI from what I've been finding [08:53] xenserver got a mac client? [08:54] Does ESXi? Pretty sure vSphere is Windows only [08:54] esxi doesnt thats right [08:55] I think both require Windows but there's openxenmanager for Xen/xapi that runs on mac/linux [08:55] Linux version was really flaky for me though [08:55] if xenserver does that I would be happy to reinstall esxi for xenserver otherwise no point wasting the 3 hours I spent on it already lol [08:56] Ah.. I can't speak for the OS X client but http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/openxenmanager/ [08:57] It runs on python and as I mentioned it was buggy for me, but it could have been Python version issues too [08:58] But ESXi works fine too, a big diff is ESXi is heavily proprietary and Xenserver is built on Xen which is open source (which is where you get stuff like openxenmanager) [09:00] thanks heaps all for your advice [09:02] hi all, Ubuntu Precise using a 3.5 Quantal backported kernel. In a rescue prompt are the same Kernel modules able to be loaded, in this case speakup and speakup_softs === add1ct3dd|away is now known as add1ct3dd === Wug[Hyperspace] is now known as Wug === e11bits_ is now known as e11bits [09:26] goog morning guys [09:27] hello guys, why recently my firefox is making the whole OS like a zombie?? [09:27] kelvinella: Define "like a zombie" please. [09:27] even after i close firefox, the system is very unresponsive [09:27] i have to restart [09:27] just like something is using 100% CPU time [09:27] kelvinella: Then you have to check whats causing it - firefox is closed, so it cant be the reason then. [09:28] it usually happens on certain sites only [09:28] sometimes facebook [09:28] kelvinella: Then you have to check whats causing it. [09:28] i do killall firefox, the problem still exists [09:28] i dont know whats causing it and i dont know how to check [09:29] kelvinella: start a terminal window, use "top" [09:29] i did [09:29] top, ps -aux, dmesg and lsb_release -a in a pastebin please. [09:30] I did "top" but I cant find anything suspicious [09:30] so i am stuck [09:30] i have an problem with my hd resolution in chromium/ytube. the newest nvidia drivers is installed, but scpae or hair is just with alittle blur [09:30] I think think it may have something to do with flash??? [09:30] but i am not sure [09:30] in firefox it is the same [09:31] i am using chrome now and it has no problem for now [09:31] but i want to use firefox as my primary browser [09:31] ok, can i do a flash update ? [09:31] I have partitioned my usb stick as ext 4... when I copy files to it.. it never gives a progress meter... it just acts like the files are instantly copied there... then when I try to unmount it ... it says I have to wait for files to finish writing.... how do I get it to write the files when I drag and drop them and more importantly show the progress? [09:32] kelvinella: Put the requested information into a pastebin please. [09:32] bekks, what information? [09:32] < bekks> top, ps -aux, dmesg and lsb_release -a in a pastebin please. [09:32] That one. [09:32] now? [09:32] Yes. [09:32] but now i dont have any problem [09:32] __ [09:32] ... [09:33] Because I havent fire up the firefox [09:33] kelvinella: Then reproduce it, and put the information into a pastebin. [09:33] let me try hold on [09:34] I am running firefox now, but sometimes it wont run into problems, so wait [09:39] Good day [09:39] good day [09:40] My Ubuntu xfce is acting weird [09:40] morning [09:40] Every time I boot, the minimize, restore and close buttons are gone [09:40] I need to do xfwm4 --sm-client-disable [09:40] Is it always like this? [09:40] jahm: That sounds like the window manager isn't getting started. I'm not sure what the reason may be, but you can simply add this command to your Startup Applications for a quick and dirty fix. [09:41] theadmin: how? [09:41] jahm: Um. I can't remember Xfce, but go into Menu -> Settings -> Settings Manager and find... uh, "Startup Applications" or something along those lines. [09:42] jahm: Can't remember the exact name [09:43] theadmin: no startup applications, but xfwm4 is present though [09:48] jahm: xfce4-session-settings is the command to launch that startup apps thing. [09:48] how do i reduce the border size in byobu? === nightwish is now known as wrayan === Freeaqingme is now known as Guest43080 [09:51] bekks, damn I still cant generate the problem yet [09:51] bekks, sometimes it just happen out of no where its hard to predict [09:56] kelvinella: Then you have to wait till it happens - without the information requested and gathered when it happens it is impossible to tell you whats actually happening. [09:56] bekks, ok [09:56] bekks, i am keep trying [09:56] Hello guys, can you please recommend me a nice, easy to set up ftp server for Ubuntu server 13.04? [09:57] oceanbreeze: vsftpd - but you should use SFTP instead of FTP nowadays. [09:57] bekks: Hey, whats the difference? [09:57] oceanbreeze: FTP must die. Use SFTP instead -- just install openssh-server. [09:58] oceanbreeze: Well, they are entirely different protocols. But SFTP is secure. [09:58] bekks: I need to simpy upload WP theme to my server from my pc :) [09:58] bekks, now its kinda slow [09:58] bekks, but not to a point where its extremely slow [09:58] do i do top now ? bekks [09:58] kelvinella: If you think you have that problem now, yes. Provide all the information requested. [09:59] its slow like hell [09:59] wait [09:59] oceanbreeze: If you just need a theme upload, use scp. [09:59] Man my xfce is broken [10:00] god it is slow openning pastebin [10:00] my computer is too slow now worse than win95 [10:01] !pastebinit | kelvinella [10:01] kelvinella: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [10:02] i know where pastebin is but my computer is in zombie mode now [10:02] I can't print from Chromium, what gives? "Something went wrong when trying to print. Please check your printer and try again." [10:02] kelvinella: Whatever "zombie mode" is. [10:02] bekks: It's when it needs extra brains ;) [10:02] nothing responding [10:03] i am still trying to get to pastebin wait [10:04] kelvinella: Then use pastebinit. [10:04] not the website [10:04] its my computer [10:04] even xchat is slow [10:04] Use pastebinit instead of your browser. [10:04] It will do the job much faster. [10:04] OR stop complaining and just wait. [10:05] kelvinella: try hastebin too. [10:05] kelvinella: If you have slow hardware, maybe Lubuntu is a good choice. Just saying. [10:06] theadmin: He is having performance issues currently, and we are trying to investigate the reason. [10:06] not the hardware [10:06] nothing is wrong until using firefox [10:06] kelvinella: We dont know whats wrong, you dont either. ;) [10:06] kelvinella: Thats why I requested the information you are trying to get. [10:07] its a little alright now [10:07] there is a box popup saying unresponsive script [10:07] and i click stop [10:07] kelvinella: Use pastebinit to provide the information requested. [10:07] bekks, http://pastebin.com/btJFEijB [10:08] not website problem [10:08] kelvinella: In addition, we need "about:plugins" from firefox too. [10:08] its the computer not responding so i cant get to pastebin now i can [10:08] kelvinella: You dont have to repeat that on an on again. [10:09] kelvinella: But without all the information requested we cant help you. [10:09] bekks: I installed the vsftpd, i have a folder @ /var/www/html/wordpress with chmod -R 777 wordpress/ priviledges. While trying to access ftp://mysite.com, it ask for login and password, but my default root password is not suitable. [10:09] wait [10:09] !root|oceanbreeze [10:09] oceanbreeze: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [10:10] bekks: the problem i had with the installer was because the hdd was previously used in raid [10:10] oceanbreeze: And setting the HTML dir for wordpress to 777 - why dont you put the root account on the frontpage then? That will safe hackers from bruto forcing you. [10:11] HypnotiX: Blame it to your Dell PERC hw then ;) [10:12] yeah :) [10:14] I have had Caps Lock mapped to Backspace using the tools exposed in the control centre; Ubuntu 13.10 seems to have just scrapped that and I'm stuck with a partially broken Caps Lock key. By fiddling variously with xmodmap and telling it Caps Lock is *not* a lock key I can get it to work as Backspace correctly, but I don't know where the config is coming from. How did it work? [10:14] How, then, can I modify the Caps Lock key behaviour config (as set in older versions of Ubuntu) without using the UI which is no longer in 13.10? === BTCOxygen is now known as Guest54206 === BTCOxygen|1 is now known as BTCOxygen [10:14] !ubuntu+1|ChrisMorgan [10:14] ChrisMorgan: Saucy Salamander is the codename for Ubuntu 13.10 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 [10:15] bekks, http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/7008/4ix0.png [10:15] ChrisMorgan 13.10 isn't ready yet [10:15] bekks, http://pastebin.com/btJFEijB [10:15] bekks: I'm in there but getting no response; I changed the form of my question about so that it *does* apply to older versions: how is that config stored and enacted in the older versions? [10:15] Is there any way to uninstall xfce4? [10:16] ChrisMorgan: Add this to startup: xmodmap -e 'keysym Caps_Lock = BackSpace' [10:16] kelvinella: And the other information requested? [10:16] bekks, my computer is super smooth now after i click the STOP button in the warning on unresponsive script in firefox but i dont know which site giving me this problem? [10:16] kelvinella: You dont have to tell us your computer is slow in every single sentence again and again. [10:17] jahm: Yes, which environment do you want to switch to? [10:17] so any idea? [10:17] kelvinella: Where is the other information requested? [10:17] what do u mean? [10:18] http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/7008/4ix0.png , http://pastebin.com/btJFEijB [10:18] kelvinella: < bekks> < bekks> top, ps -aux, dmesg and lsb_release -a in a pastebin please. [10:18] oh i forgot that command [10:18] kelvinella: All you pasted until now is top and about:plugins [10:19] but now it isnt slow, so i have to wait? [10:19] or i do it now? [10:19] theadmin: well, my xfce4 is broken [10:19] I'm currently on Unity right now [10:19] Was hoping that by removing xfce4, and install it again, it will fix my xfce4 [10:19] kelvinella: dmesg and lsb_release -a will stay the same. [10:19] kelvinella: So finally pastebin them. [10:19] jahm: Ah. You can restore Xfce to default settings simply by removing .config/xfce4 from your $HOME.

[10:24] bekks, i think the problem happens after i installed the adobe pdf reader [10:24] theadmin: yes. works perfectly [10:24] because i need it to print pdf from the work [10:24] kelvinella: The adobe PDF reader has nothing to do with your flash freaking out. [10:24] Aaruni: Okay, do you have any sort of firewall up? [10:24] so how do i update my flash? [10:24] kelvinella: You can't. Adobe decided to kill Flash for Linux. [10:24] theadmin: I have firestarter installed, but I keep it off, except when needed to monitor connections [10:24] kelvinella: You cant. You have to use Chrome with PepperFlash 11.7 [10:24] kelvinella: Google have their own implementation of Flash, but you can only use it in Chrome. [10:25] kelvinella: Adobe stopped providing newer versions than 11.2 natively. [10:25] bekks: Ok, done. Now back to topic :) What is the default login and password to access my ftp server created via vsftpd? Or should i create em manually? [10:25] so what do i need to do now? [10:25] i want to use firefox [10:25] Aaruni: Please say what "sudo ufw status" says, [10:25] oceanbreeze: There is no default. You have to configure your server. [10:25] kelvinella: Dont use those sites then. You've been toild the only solution. [10:25] theadmin: Status: inactive === wizonesolutions_ is now known as wizonesolutions [10:25] Aaruni: ...Huh. Any sort of firewall on your LAN, e.g. a router etc? [10:26] theadmin: sir [10:26] theadmin: how do I remove the thing that you told me earlier? [10:26] theadmin: there is a router, but it doesn't provide firewall. I can ssh into macintosh just fine, but not the other way round [10:27] jahm: That'd be "ma'am", please avoid gender-related assumptions. But just open a terminal and paste this in: rm -r ~/.config/xfce4. Do NOT do this from inside of Xfce (removing a program's settings while it's running is always a rather bad idea) [10:27] Oh sorry ma'am [10:27] bekks: Can't i just use my root user for that purpose? [10:27] theadmin: oh I'm on xfce right now [10:28] Aaruni: Hmm... This is strange, please pastebin your /etc/ssh/sshd_config [10:28] Could you do me a favour and paste that again later when I'm on Unity please/ [10:28] jahm: Sure thing [10:28] oceanbreeze: Your dont have a root user with a valid password. And using FTP as root is even more insecure as setting 777 for a webserver. Dont even think about doing it. [10:28] theadmin: http://txt.krow.me/1271/ [10:29] Hi back [10:29] theadmin: what was it again mam? [10:29] Sorry for the hassle :\ [10:30] oceanbreeze: Using root for user for any purpose is not an option. [10:30] jahm: rm -r ~/.config/xfce4 [10:30] jahm: What Aaruni said, sorry, was looking at his/her/its pastebin [10:30] Aaruni: thanks [10:30] theadmin: "its" ? :/ [10:31] oceanbreeze: I'm late in the conversation. Is this a webserver you are working on? [10:31] Aaruni: I don't discriminate, not even against robots :D [10:31] I assure you I am a human, not a bot [10:31] Aaruni: Sorry, is joke [10:31] So does this fix my startup manager problem? [10:31] usr13: vsftpd [10:31] theadmin: no offence taken [10:31] jahm: Probably. It just resets Xfce to default settings, is all [10:31] I have a folder @ /var/www/html/wordpress [10:31] I see [10:31] oceanbreeze: And what are you using vsftpd for? [10:31] Aaruni: Hm. This looks correct. Sorry, I have no idea what the problem may be [10:32] usr13: I have a folder @ /var/www/html/wordpress with 755 priviledges. [10:32] Gonna transfer to my xfce4 now [10:32] you think its a problem on the macintosh side of things ? === companion is now known as Companion [10:32] oceanbreeze: Ok. And you are running apache webserver serving from /var/www/ ? [10:32] Aaruni: Maybe. What's the command you're using to connect? [10:32] usr13: WP themes upload/ Yep, apache2 with mysql. [10:32] theadmin: ssh -X user@ip [10:32] Aaruni: Try without -X for starters [10:32] oceanbreeze: yes 755 for directories [10:33] Aaruni: may i suggest that you run ssh -vvv for verbose output [10:33] Aaruni: -X may not work on Mac, it'd need a local Xorg server I think [10:33] usr13: We got to the point where most likely i need to create users somehow, if i got it right :) [10:34] oceanbreeze: 755 for directories, 644 for files, (S.O.P.) [10:34] Man [10:34] This problem is annoying [10:34] oceanbreeze: Yes, create users. Exactly. Here is the way I would handle it. [10:34] jahm: Is it still broken? [10:34] Yeah [10:34] :( [10:35] theadmin: doesn't work w/o -X either [10:35] Aaruni: Blimey... :/ [10:35] usr13: Yes? :) [10:35] oceanbreeze: Create user account for each site or set of sites and use symlinks. That way each separate user logs in to it's own /home/ account. [10:35] Aaruni: Try with ssh -2 -4 user@ip [10:35] theadmin: ok [10:36] oceanbreeze: Use symlinks from the /home/ accounts to /var/www/ [10:36] usr13: Let's start with one! :) [10:36] ok, this is strange [10:36] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6024569/ <-- Any help? [10:36] instead of switching systems, I decided to ssh into macintosh, and then ssh back into ubuntu [10:36] but.. [10:37] oceanbreeze: Instead of having the actual files in /var/www/ they can all just be symlinks. Move the directories to the various /home/ directories and create symlinks. [10:37] Aaruni: as i said before, try connecting with "ssh -vvv user@host", as it will give you a ton of output. else look at the ssh server log [10:37] theadmin, WinstonSmith : http://txt.krow.me/1272/ [10:37] oceanbreeze: The ftp server by default, jails the user in his /home/dir [10:38] usr13: Aha. [10:38] usr13: useradd , should i create a user this way? [10:38] Aaruni: is that box accessible? is the port open? is the ssh server running? [10:38] oceanbreeze: Use "adduser", it's easier [10:38] WinstonSmith: how do I check ? [10:38] WinstonSmith: Yes, yes and yes, I checked those for him/her already [10:38] :( [10:39] theadmin: him [10:39] WinstonSmith: (s)he can ssh into localhost from that box [10:39] Aaruni: Ah, okay, thanks [10:39] oceanbreeze: ln -s /home/user1/html /var/www/site1 or ln -s /home/user1/public_html /var/www/wrodpress-site1 [10:39] theadmin: oh sorry for hijacking then :/ [10:39] Aaruni: is a firewall running on the server? [10:39] theadmin: Thanks [10:39] WinstonSmith: No prob, just speeding it up for ya :D [10:40] \o/ [10:40] usr13: Ok, let me create users first :) [10:40] WinstonSmith: installed, but not running. [10:40] * WinstonSmith speeds up [10:40] oceanbreeze: adduser jack [10:40] i am having a problem while installing program from its source code [10:40] can any one tell me about that [10:40] oceanbreeze: sudo adduser jill [10:40] naveen_: You should avoid that if at all possible, it's usually a proper pain [10:40] I'm having trouble getting jack to run properly, clicking on the start button of qjackctl returns this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6024569/ [10:40] Aaruni: well timed out is rather strange. can you access other services on that box? [10:41] usr13: Done, the new user is ocean :) [10:41] WinstonSmith: like ftp ? [10:41] oceanbreeze: And do not give the user any additional rights, doesn't need anything but rights to the /home/user files. [10:41] Aaruni: yes ftp www etc [10:41] ftp doesn't work either, from macintosh [10:41] oceanbreeze: Now create a directory for files, like mkdir /home/ocean/public_html [10:42] WinstonSmith: ftp says "can't connect" [10:42] usr13: Should i log as user now, or create em as root? [10:42] Aaruni: Are you sure the IP is correct? What username are you using? [10:42] oceanbreeze: sudo mkdir /home/ocean/public_html ; sudo chown ocean /home/ocean/public_html #Or just mkdir as ocean [10:43] This: http://pastebin.com/qFTzpmAs [10:43] oceanbreeze: YEa, login as user and do it. [10:43] oceanbreeze: su - ocean [10:43] theadmin: yes, ip and user are correct. [10:43] usr13: You are so helpful :) [10:43] usr13: sudo -iu [10:43] usr13: Give me few minutes please :) [10:43] usr13: su isn't a good idea most of the time lol [10:43] oceanbreeze: then just mkdir public_html [10:44] theadmin: sudo -iu ? Isnt' sudo - ocean the same thing? [10:44] Aaruni: are you sure that fw is off? can you ping the box from the mac? [10:44] WinstonSmith: yes I can ping it. 1ms [10:44] usr13: Not entirely sure, but "su" is using the target password to authenicate, which isn't very secure, is it now? [10:44] theadmin: What is the difference? I have always just used su - username [10:44] hallo....i have moved my /home directory to another hard drive using live cd. everything went well but when i restart the computer and i get to the display manager and type my password it would not do anything , any ideas? [10:45] usr13: Done [10:45] I'm having trouble getting jack to run properly, clicking on the start button of qjackctl returns this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6024569/ [10:45] usr13: Now i should move my WP directory to this new folder? [10:46] oceanbreeze: Ok, now just create the symlink to a directory name of your choosing in the /var/www area [10:46] usr13: Aye, symlinks, forgot about em :) [10:47] oceanbreeze: sudo ln -s /home/ocean/www /var/www/wordpress1 #Or what ever you want it to be. [10:47] Aaruni: can you pastebin "netstat -lanpt" please [10:48] wolffff: you need crtl+alt+f1 login in console as root, use usermod -d /new/homedir yousername also fix /etc/fstab? [10:48] usr13: ln -s /home/ocean/public_html /var/www/html/wordpress ? [10:48] oceanbreeze: Then when the user ocean logs in, he just puts his files in the www/ dir. (Name is not important, you can call it public_html if you want. [10:48] oceanbreeze: Yes [10:49] WinstonSmith: from ubuntu box ? [10:49] Aaruni: yes [10:49] oceanbreeze: If /var/www/html is where you have apache serving from. [10:49] usr13: /var/www/html/wordpress ? [10:49] usr13: I need a wordpress folder? Right? [10:49] usr13: Then should i create a wordpress folder for user too? [10:50] usr13: Like /home/ocean/public_html/wordpress ? [10:50] oceanbreeze: if you use FollowSymlink option enabled [10:50] oceanbreeze: Look in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default [10:50] WinstonSmith: http://txt.krow.me/1273/ [10:50] usr13: I am using sites-available [10:51] I've been looking over apt-get options, but I don't see how to out what versions of a package are available? For example I'm trying to build a package that specifies mysql-client-core-5.5... but how do I know if (for example) there's a 7.7 available? [10:51] usr13: default [10:51] oceanbreeze: Ok. The choice is yours. [10:51] s/out/find out/ [10:51] Aaruni: sorry that has to be run with sudo [10:51] ok, doing again [10:51] oceanbreeze: Look for the DocumentRoot line, set is as you see fit. [10:52] WinstonSmith: http://txt.krow.me/1274/ [10:52] oceanbreeze: The default is more-than-likely just /var/www/ [10:52] usr13: Done it already :) My site is up and running fine, just need to setup ftp file transfer to that folder i chose in DocumentRoot [10:52] usr13: For Wordpress themes [10:52] theadmin: thanks ma'am [10:53] I fixed it [10:53] Idk how [10:53] :) [10:53] jahm: hehe :D [10:53] usr13: ln -s /home/ocean/public_html/wordpress /var/www/html/wordpress . Should look like this then :) [10:53] oceanbreeze: Ok, there you go. [10:54] Aaruni: hmm. and you try to ssh directly from the mac? or are you ssh'ing to the mac and then back? [10:54] oceanbreeze: Yep. that should do it. [10:54] I'm having trouble getting jack to run properly, clicking on the start button of qjackctl returns this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6024569/ [10:54] Any help? [10:55] oceanbreeze: You should also see "Options FollowSymLinks" in the DocumentRoot section of apache2's config file, so you're good to go. [10:56] usr13: Ok added symlink, rebooting now, just incase :) [10:56] oceanbreeze: No need to reboot. [10:56] oceanbreeze: No need to do anything. [10:56] hi is there a fix for google chrome bad display of flash? [10:57] stroodlepup: I just don't use google chrome [10:57] usr13: Ok nice i logged in ftp as ocean [10:57] oceanbreeze: Yea, and then cd wordpress and upload [10:57] stroodlepup: Disable Chrome's built-in Flash and use one from the repositories. Or just use Chromium. [10:57] usr13: But the *****.com/public_html/wordpress/ directory is empty [10:58] one can try gnash instead of flash.. [10:59] pbase: Chrome comes with its' own version of Flash provided by Google. It's sometimes buggy. [10:59] * pbase uses chromium [10:59] theadmin: Chrome does not have its own flash version. [10:59] bekks: Sure it does, PepperFlash. [10:59] theadmin: It does not. [11:00] PepperFlash is built by Adobe - and built for the Chrom-shipped Pepper-API. === martin_ is now known as Dulin [11:00] bekks: Yeah, well. The thing is, it's a different version than the one in the repos. A more recent one [11:00] i can't find what the command ls -al does, googling it or looking up the man page doesnt say. [11:00] saki: ls --help [11:01] would be a good starting point [11:01] it simply lists the cotnents of the current dierctory including hidden files with their compete attributes [11:01] list form === JotaK is now known as MakOke [11:02] ohhhhhh its a combination of -a and -l? [11:02] * WinstonSmith thinks "give a man a fish..." [11:02] saki: Yes, according to the GNU specification short options start with -, consist of 1 letter/number and can be combined by supplying all of the options' letters/numbers together: ls -lAR, for example. [11:02] saki: yes [11:02] i know what ls does, what ls -a does, what ls -l does. i didn't know what ls -al was [11:03] thanks [11:04] Aaruni: sorry i have to go, good luck [11:04] * WinstonSmith & [11:04] Time for me to go too. [11:07] just to double check [11:07] sudo adduser --home /home/music/uploads --shell /usr/lib/sftp-server uploads [11:07] Hi , I need help , I can't copy a Link to my thumbdrive .It said Error while copying Link to my thumbdrive.Filesystem does not support symbolic links . How to solve it ? it's easier if there's a way to do a shortcut [11:07] this command is going to create a directory called uploads and make it available under the user 'uploads'. and said user via ftp, won't be able to access anything besides that folder because that's the only permissions he'll have, yes? [11:08] nbubuntu, why do you want to copy a shortcut to your thumbdrive? [11:08] saki: Uh. Specifying that as a shell is a bad idea. Use /bin/false if you want to disallow shell logins. [11:09] hello [11:10] thanks guys :) [11:10] saki : I though it's easier for me to access files.I though everyone did that ? [11:11] no as in, do you want a shortcut, or the actual file? the shortcut's not the file if thats what you're after [11:11] theadmin: whoops [11:11] i already did it [11:12] saki: Then revert it. [11:13] no i did it a little while back [11:13] saki: Then revert it. [11:14] Hi. I just formated an external usb drive with gparted [11:15] still am stuck at login screen after i move my /home to a new drive ...the fstab is fixed , still cant login after reboot [11:15] It's show under unity as "ext3/ext4" but "mount" tells me its ext2 [11:15] however, when I go in the file explorer to it I cant create folder because it's "root" owned [11:15] which rights do I have to give the folder? Especially when I want to use this drive at more than one computer [11:16] okay [11:16] so i have no idea how to revert it. can't i just manually remove the user? [11:16] foofoobar: create a folder as root [11:17] change its owner then [11:17] saki : just a shortcut , I can do it in window easily , but why not on ubuntu ? weird , I though it's my USB crash [11:18] pbase, so to which should I change the permissions? [11:18] pbase, lets say I have to computer, one has the user "foo" and the second "bar". [11:18] I want to read/write from both users [11:18] you will have root on all computers [11:18] but then I have to do some owner changes every time I plug it into a different computer? [11:18] i boot into a live cd , copied all the files from /home to my new /home with rsync, then deleted the old home and edited my fstab ...when i reboot and i get to the login manager and type my password nothing happens..... [11:19] probably [11:20] I've been looking over apt-get options, but I don't see how to find out what versions of a package are available? For example I'm trying to build a package that specifies mysql-client-core-5.5... but how do I know if (for example) there's a 7.7 available? [11:20] apb1963_: apt-cache policy === muellisoft is now known as Muelli [11:20] apb1963_ apt-cache show to see details [11:23] hard to say if that works or not... it does tell me there's a 5.5.x ... but since I don't know if there's a 6.x or not, I can only hope it works??

How to solve it ? it's easier if there's a way to do a shortcut [11:25] nbubuntu: Solution: Do not copy symbolic links to your thumb drive. [11:25] nbubuntu: What is the format of your thumbdrive? [11:25] bekks : how to create a shortcut link ? [11:25] bekks : normal fat system [11:25] fat doesn't support symlinks [11:25] nbubuntu: FAT does not support symbolic links. [11:26] reformat it :) [11:26] bekks : then how to create a shortcut with a symbolic link ? [11:26] derp [11:26] bekks : then how to create a shortcut without a symbolic link ? [11:26] nbubuntu: You cant. [11:26] nbubuntu: Use a filesystem capable of doing so. [11:27] bekks : no otherway round ? I see window can do it on fat [11:27] nbubuntu: No other way around it. [11:27] nbubuntu: Windows does not create symbolic links. It creates files with a specific content that is evaluated as "link". [11:28] nbubuntu: FAT isnt capable of symbolic links. [11:28] bekks : ok , then how I create a file with an evaluted as "link" [11:28] I wonder why there's no "shortcut" type file so windoze users can stop complaining :) [11:28] nbubuntu: Ask ##windows :) === jan1337zZz is now known as jan1337z === jan1337z is now known as Jan [11:30] I suspect he's not going to get a good answer there...

[13:27] Hi everyone. I'd like to try to find a product that isn't as simple and error prone as shell scripts and ssh, yet not a systems management thing like Puppet or cfengine. This product should be able to recognize when I restart service A that I also need to restart its dependent service B. These services could reside on different hosts. === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [13:27] ok thanks will do [13:27] What's more, I need a product that will work on Solaris as well as Linux [13:27] so, maybe i should try 12.10 disk i have instead of 13.04 that needed boot repair? === BTCOxygen|1 is now known as BTCOxygen [13:28] I could do this with Veritas Cluster Server, but that's really expensive. I already have VCS for the Solaris hosts, but when I try to migrate services to Linux I need to retain the capability at least [13:29] mikubuntu, or try to reburn the iso (or try install from usb) === cubix``763 is now known as cubix` [13:29] mikubuntu, or try to reburn the iso (or try install from usb) [13:29] sanka, ok thx, will do [13:30] My Ubuntu Restricted Extras installation stuck in middle in "Progress" it is showing "Installed" in Software Centre home page, and showing "Removing" while clicked on that app page, not letting me install other apps even, what to do how?

Note the messages [13:31] cfhowlett, ok [13:32] X-User, be aware that if software center HAS glitched, that command will not run ... which is what you need to know [13:33] sable: maybe look for something with systemd, it's the new way of managing services [13:34] sh*t's going down [13:35] NewWorld, systemd and SMF in Solaris fit the bill for managing services. But what I need is some sort of glue between systems such that if I restart service A, then service B is restarted also. To my knowledge, neither technology is "networked" [13:35] sanka -- same thing with 12.10 disk -- what does ''try passing init = bootarg" refer to?

"sudo apt-get install -f" [13:42] L3top, i know nvidia-settings is is not being upgraded on 12.04.2 LTS, I was working on !sound this morning [13:42] I have no idea of what grub is , but my friend told me Grub is hard for beginners and he told me to install with "install ubuntu 13.04 alongside windows" option [13:42] arka, It removes a damaged package and it repairs it [13:42] sanka -- its an acer laptop, that previously was running ubuntu -- belongs to my friends son, so i don't know what he did to the machine. he says just one day it stopped booting [13:43] Darryl, ok thanx!

[13:43] also checking the hw, show a schematic for a sound chip on the NVIDIA GPU [13:44] which is weird [13:44] mikubuntu: tried the omgubuntu guide: sticking it to grub [13:44] Correct alxndr. It hasn't changed much at all for a long time. I need to detect across manufacturers/drivers. This should be simple enough to do in linux... I just cant find the magic. [13:44] yeni, you did NOT use the windows installer? [13:44] mikubuntu, just to be sure. You're sure it boots from cd/usb and not hdd [13:45] what do mean ? [13:45] arka: man apt-get ,would tell you [13:45] yeni, if you don't know, then you probably didn't. you need to reinstall grub. your ubuntu is likely safe, but grub can't find it so ... no bot. [13:45] boot [13:46] sanka -- i set the boot sequence to cd, if thats what you mean. just now lastly changed it to usb fdd to try the stick [13:46] araka, "man" command will help you allot it stands for manual use it to learn how a certain command works [13:46] ok i'll try to fix ty [13:47] ActionParsnip: not sure what you're saying "tried the omgubuntu guide: sticking it to grub" === BTCOxygen is now known as Guest64224 === BTCOxygen|1 is now known as BTCOxygen [13:47] LTS offers support for nvidia...

You can reinstall and reconfigure grub2 using a chroot from livecd [13:48] the error you see seem to indicate the filesystem is corrupt [13:48] sanka, let me see if this bios allows me to remove hdd from the list [13:49] radio check [13:49] methuzla, one two [13:49] mikubuntu: you could also fsck the unmounted partitions from the livecd too, make sure they are healthy [13:49] alxndr: on Precise here wiyh nvidia 6150 works like a dream [13:50] ActionParsnip, if you want to try to fix the issue instead of doing a reinstall that indeed that is a good option [13:50] alxndr: needs an xorg.conf file but my TV is weird [13:50] mikubuntu, #sudo fdisk -l [13:50] sanka: makes sense to try. [13:50] Hi folks, i have a trouble with iPhone sync on Ubuntu, can someone help me?

[14:10] swashbuckla: the ones that are logical can be resized to make free space. you'll need about 10Gb to be comfortable [14:11] X-User, apt and the software center both use dpkg to install and remove apps anyway [14:11] SchrodingersScat: I don't know.

When I go into mint 15, the permissions are completely different for that directory. I would have thought they would be the same? [14:36] Had this working before re-installing both without any issues. Strange. ANy ideas? [14:37] hi all, i have a bug, and i don't know how to fix, i run ubuntu 13.03, and where i service restart networking X goes down and i have to restart the computer [14:38] the shared partition is ext4 as well === me is now known as Guest87911 [14:42] How to extract file.tar.lzo file?

[14:46] saki: 777 isnt a good fix but if you are happy then finr [14:49] oh jeez [14:49] what's wrong with it? [14:50] saki with 777 anyone could do anything, also lock you out [14:51] okay. :/ [14:51] all i want to do [14:51] is make a directory that people can SFTP to, with a user that only has privileges in said directory [14:52] saki: sftp uses the linux permissions on the data. so set the folder as owned by username:username and chmod 700. ONLY that user (and root) will have any access at all [14:53] ah so chmod 700 is what i use then? [14:53] i've already set the user to that particular directory [14:53] saki: yes but set the owner and group to the users name you want to give access [14:53] so sanka, ActionParsnip is there not some clue in the screen output i put on imagebin? :: http://imagebin.org/268731 [14:53] and made it the home directory [14:54] mikubuntu: did you try the guide i said?

[14:54] saki: just educating [14:55] mikubuntu: search the web you will find it. [14:55] i'm just saying that i had set the home directory for the user as said directory that i applied that to [14:55] i'll just run chmod 700 now [14:55] saki: not really necessary but makes things quicker i guess === pedro_ is now known as Guest63008 [14:57] hi all, i have a bug, and i don't know how to fix, i run ubuntu 13.03, and where i service restart networking X goes down and i have to restart the computer [14:58] alami you mean 13.04 [15:00] alami: Is there a particular reason you need to do "service restart networking"?

[15:08] lol yeah alami , it is quite upsetting [15:08] Shadowandlight: pastebin your ~/.bashrc. Have you done anything involving bash configuration or path manipulation? [15:08] I don't know what happened but everytime I open a terminal I get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6025327/ [15:08] Shadowandlight: erm, I'm miking up you and SublimeFreak sorry. [15:08] SublimeFreak: : output of « echo $PATH »? [15:09] SublimeFreak: you've got commands that don't exist in on your system in your profile [15:09] Shadowandlight: as for your vsftp, issue. What package did you install? [15:10] jrib: $/home/darkstar/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools [15:10] SublimeFreak: so have you manipulated your PATH recently? [15:10] yea the package is installed and i've try to setup vsftpd.conf right [15:10] Shadowandlight: *what* package? [15:11] apt-get install vsftpd [15:11] I don't understand how this can be a problem that's only affecting me :/ [15:11] jrib: Yeah I was trying to build Cyanogenmod and it got mucked up [15:11] Shadowandlight: what exactly did you mean when you said "I've setup vsftp.conf right"? What did you change exactly and what is the full path to tho file you modified? [15:11] Is there some issue with 13.04 having a lot of crash reports going on? or is it something in general with some part of ubuntu/linux? [15:11] SublimeFreak: so how did you change your PATH? [15:11] Malgorath: that's too vague [15:12] jrib: not really, I'm asking if there have been a large number of crash reports. Everytime I have attempted to install 13.04 I start seeing 3 or 4 complete crashes of the desktop per day. The same system runs 12.04.2 without issue. [15:12] jrib: I believe I used 'export PATH=$PATH:/home/darkstar/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools' [15:13] Malgorath: what exactly is crashing... [15:13] SublimeFreak: if you didn't put that in any file, then you can just start up a new terminal [15:13] can anyone tell me how to run the software updater from cmd line?

[15:18] Anyone familiar with Grub2 in here??? Having issues with theme.txt on 13.04 and up but not 12.10 and below. [15:18] cptcel: yeah, start renaming related .directories I guess. You can probably look at what exists on the new user for some good candidates [15:19] jrib: ok that opened gedit but now I don't know what to do. [15:19] SublimeFreak: undo your PATH change.

I reset them to mysql:mysql and it works. Botto back into ubuntu 13.04 and permissions have changed again. Reset and everything works fine. All partitions ext4. What am I missing? [15:21] Shadowandlight: no. Just « sudo initctl reload » [15:21] Botto = Back to [15:21] initctl: missing job name [15:21] Botto = Boot :-) [15:21] jrib: That worked! Thank you so much :) [15:21] opalepatrick: Different permissions between mint and ubuntu. [15:21] SublimeFreak: no problem [15:22] bekks, shouldnt assigned ownership stay the same on a separate partition [15:22] Shadowandlight: indeed. Upstart docs seem to be outdated or incorrect. Try « sudo initctl reload-configuration » [15:23] opalepatrick: No. [15:23] How about bringing back the appindicator whitelist in 13.04 is that possible? [15:23] opalepatrick: Because group ID are different.

[15:25] Shadowandlight: this may be a problem :) [15:25] Shadowandlight: purge the package and reinstall it [15:26] it's not installed [15:26] Hi guys, I've tried a dist-upgrade on my ubuntu notebook, and now it won't boot stuck at "Setting up X socket directories", what's even worse I can't get into any of the terminals to boot and try to fix something [15:26] can someone suggest me how to fix this ? [15:26] zenger: what does "tried a dist-upgrade" mean? [15:27] jrib: It means I haven't updated in quite a while [15:27] zenger: what did you do exactly? [15:27] sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade, then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, then reboot and boom [15:27] zenger: what ubuntu version? [15:27] I'm not sure [15:27] I think it was 12.10 [15:28] thanks again jrib - was great thinking. see you cats around [15:28] cptcel: no problem [15:28] I tried googling around [15:28] some suggest it could have been the xorg driver [15:28] zenger: can you boot into recovery mode? [15:28] nope it freezes at the same point [15:28] I'm gonna try once again [15:29] zenger: that suggests it's not X related [15:29] zenger: you're trying to start a root prompt through recovery right? [15:29] yes, in grub under Ubuntu, there is Advanced Options, next Ubuntu (recovery mode) right ? [15:29] well it's stuck at the same point [15:30] just "Setting up X socket directories..." [15:30] bonjour [15:30] CTRL + ALT + F1 has a few errors [15:31] zenger: that can't be possible as recovery mode doesn't start X [15:31] Running scripts/init-bottom/udev: line 26 nuke not found [15:31] zenger: so either a.) you are not going into recovery mode b.) you are not reading the error correctly [15:31] probably [15:31] I'm on the first terminal window [15:31] and there are other errors [15:31] first I mentioned earlier with the nuke not found [15:31] then [15:32] input: failed to attach handler evbug to device input7, error: -1 [15:32] then [15:32] Error; driver pcspkr is already registered [15:32] zenger: it's impossible to help while you a.) cannot post a clear description of the problem b.) cannot follow instructions [15:33] ikonia: I can not boot into recovery mode [15:33] ikonia: The recovery mode freezes at the errors I mentioned earlier [15:33] zenger: again, that cannot be correct as you are quoting Xorg errors, a recovery shell will not try to start X [15:33] ikonia: I'm not quoting, I'm assuming [15:34] jrib: ok thanks... its working now... how can i verify that my new ftp user has limited rights on the server?? [15:34] zenger: so basically you are just making up errors now ? [15:34] ikonia: I stated all the errors from the output I got [15:34] I assumed it was an x related issue [15:34] zenger: when you try to boot into single user mode - do you get errors about X ? [15:35] zenger: as in the erros you posted about not being able to open X11 sockets [15:35] I assume not [15:35] zenger: does that actually happen when you try to boot into a recovery shell ? [15:35] zenger: no no no [15:35] zenger: not "assume" [15:35] I don't know how an X error looks like [15:35] zenger: you said - you got xorg errors when you botted into a recovery shell [15:35] no no no [15:36] I assume those were xorg errors [15:36] zenger: do you get this line when you boot into a recovery shell [15:36] zenger: "Setting up X socket directories..." [15:36] although I don't know what an xorg error looks like [15:36] yes [15:36] is that a Xorg related issue? === gvim is now known as Guest65399 [15:36] zenger: then I don't believe you are booting into a recovery shell - as the recovery shell does not start X [15:36] ikonia: hm [15:37] ikonia: I'm 100% i'm trying to boot into recovery, the problem is why does recovery attempt loading xorg [15:37] I'm booting the pc, grub shows up [15:37] I select Advance Options next Ubuntu (recovery mode) [15:38] and I get the same error [15:38] I just entered. What's the problem? [15:38] am I not doing things correctly ? [15:38] zenger: I would suggest trying to boot into "single user mode" [15:38] how do i restrict an FTP user to only 1 directory? sudo usermod -d /path/to/new/home -m didnt seem to do the trick [15:39] Shadowandlight: you would need to chroot, or force the user to have the ftp shell that's locked to their home directory [15:39] fusion [15:39] ikonia: I'm gonna try it now, just a sec [15:40] ikonia: in vsftpd chroot_local_user=yes (its uncommended) [15:40] Shadowandlight: and has vsftpd been restarted since you set that ? === jan1337z is now known as jan1337zZz [15:41] now i am confused... in vsftpd.conf there are 2 lines both having chroot_local_user=YES [15:42] so bekks, thanks for your teaser of an answer. Enough to off searching again but not quite enough info to solve the issue. [15:42] Shadowandlight: then your config is wrong and you didn't answer my question [15:42] its a brand new install and i did restart vsftpd === wardsegers is now known as wseg [15:42] opalepatrick: he's told you the problem in correct clear detail [15:43] ikonia: I tried booting into single and it still stops at "Setting up X socket directories..." [15:43] you are making assumptions ikonia that everyone has the same level of knowledge as you. I was being genuine, not sarcastic btw [15:44] opalepatrick: I'm not making any assumption at all [15:44] I have no idea how and why, It had the "nomodeset" and "single" option on the linux line [15:44] opalepatrick: if you are unsure of what that means, just ask [15:44] zenger: single is for single user mode. [15:44] I added that to grub [15:45] zenger: get rid of nomodeset for a test [15:45] gimme a sec [15:45] zenger: it really shouldn't matter, but I'm curious [15:46] OK ikonia, how does one solve the problem of different group ids relating to permissions on a shared directory? Any help appreciated. [15:46] well this time it seems to be loading x, as the screen resolution has changed [15:46] and yup [15:46] it stops there again [15:46] I have an old cd ubuntu '10.10' [15:47] maybe I can use it to destroy the xorg somehow [15:47] opalepatrick: you need to either a.) stop using a shared directories between two OS's - mysql is not designed to work like that or b.) change tue users UID/GID's on one of the distros to match the other [15:47] or restore the old ubuntu setup [15:47] zenger: single user should not launch X unless you have modified your init system/scripts [15:47] I did not modify anything, I assure you [15:47] I suppose the update did that [15:47] Cheers ikonia, I will need to go back and see how I got it to work before I trashed the two previous installs [15:48] Hello guys, I'm trying to access data in a Mac Time Machine Backup hard drive and copy it to another hard drive. However, altho I can see the data, I can't copy any of it. Can someone help? [15:49] BlueSquirrel: what do you mean by can't copy it, explain the problem please. [15:49] ikonia: I'm trying to grab the files and put them on a folder on a different ahrd drive, but tells me i have no permission [15:49] ikonia: at first I couldnt even see them, but after a sudo nautilus it let me go through them [15:49] Hello, I was in here under the nick ubuntuissues with drive and file system problems. Well, I had to re-initialize a RAID 0 Array, and lost the data. However, no matter how many times I try to create a new partition using fdisk, partitionmanager, gparted, etc, it constantly fails. [15:49] BlueSquirrel: permissoin to write to the target drive perhaps as if you can read the source drive, you can copy off [15:50] GH0: how big is your raid 0 stripe ? [15:51] I believe it is 128 [15:51] GH0: 128 what [15:51] 128 kb [15:51] GH0: no, sorry, I mean how big is the stripe of the two disks, [15:51] Here is what fdisk /dev/sdb keeps reporting every time I attempt to create a new partition: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6025458/ [15:51] Is there a good channel for asking about hardware issues? [15:52] Oh, in total the storage iis 500 GB. Unless I don't understand what you are asking. :/ [15:52] I tried everything :( it won't boot, I tried xforcevesa and still no change [15:52] GH0: ok, that's good [15:52] I found another issue "input: failed to attach handler evbug to device input7, error: -1" [15:52] GH0: how did you setup the raid stipe [15:52] ikonia: nice point, I did another sudo nautilus in a different terminal to open the target hard drive, and it's working now! thanks ikonia! this is the second time I come here and you save my ass :) [15:52] ikonia, not on or near the machine, it;s about two hours away. So. :/ [15:52] could it somehow stop the boot ? [15:52] BlueSquirrel: use 'gksudo nautilus' and really its not a great idea to run nautilus as root. [15:52] zenger: more context would be needed [15:52] But, even if I try to w and then have it automatically quit, nothing seems to be resolving itself. It just doesn't seem to sync the disks. [15:53] GH0: that isn't what I asked [15:53] ikonia: what more information do you require ? [15:53] GH0: how did you create the raid array was the question [15:53] zenger: thats just some sort of mouse, or device on a usb port. I doubt if its the cause of any issue [15:53] then I'm out of ideas [15:53] greetings fellow earth_creatures === milessabin_ is now known as milessabin__ === milessabin__ is now known as milessabin_ === milessabin_ is now known as milessabin [15:54] zenger: perhaps restate the whole issue from the beginning to the channel. [15:54] ikonia, It is using a PERC 5i hardware raid, with two 250 GB disks. In Write Through Mode [15:54] bbl [15:54] GH0: ahh, so it's a hardware raid array [15:54] I had this same setup earlier, and something caused it to freak out, which Is why I thought the initialization would help fix it. I looked at the SMART status being reported on the RAID card, and it says it is fine. [15:55] GH0: ok, so you're in good shape as a hardware raid array should be easier to manage [15:55] GH0: you need a partition table on there obviously, so lets see if you can get one on there, [15:55] I have an old laptop, I had ubuntu running on him for about half a year. didn't update or anything. today I decided to update. I updated the way I usually do. "sudo apt-get update", then "sudo apt-get upgrade", then "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade". Afterwards I rebooted, now the notebook won't start: It stops booting at this line "Setting up X socket directories..." [15:55] GH0: sudo fdisk /dev/sdb - then "n" then the setup, then "w", what happens [15:56] This issue persist through everywhere, in recovery mode with single option or "xforcevesa" option. [15:56] ikonia, It will go through the setup process, tell me that I can create a primary partition in slot 1. Press w, says it finishes, then check with fdisk -l and nothing is listed [15:56] Unfortunately, that is what I have been trying. [15:56] Some programs will send an email report on issues but it just winds up in /var/mail/root ... does anyone know of an article that would show me how to set up the system to use my SMTP to actually send these emails? Or at least what I should google for, I'm just getting generic mail crap. [15:56] GH0: so it doesn't error in any way at all [15:57] Nope [15:57] I can try one more time though. [15:57] Hold on [15:57] i would like to ask. what is the most resource friendly flavor of ubuntu? [15:57] OfficerFlyingGur: I think lubuntu [15:58] thanks.

[16:01] I got the same for swap partition aswell [16:01] karab44: is it a logical volume ? [16:02] ikonia: you mean Lvm ? [16:02] hi ya'll [16:02] karab44: yes, that's one way to have one [16:02] ikonia, Unfortunately, the battery backup is not installed, so they are in the mode that doesn't matter. [16:02] ikonia: yes, it is logical volume [16:02] Unless I incorrectly configured it. I will have to call the people that are hosting it and ask them to change it. [16:02] GH0: ok, that's good, so that's one problem resolved [16:03] karab44: then no, it's not a problem, logical volumes shouldn't have partition tables [16:03] hi all, i have a problem: when starting ubuntu 12.04 i get a black screen when i should enter the password. in fact it looks like an input line, where the system prints information when i plug in an usb stick for example. i also see the mouse curser [16:03] I can't remember if it is in Write Back or Wrtie Through mode, but it is supposed to automatically switch it over when the battery fails. [16:03] Either way, hold on, let me try parted [16:03] ikonia: I've noticed something odd. when I'm trying to boot normally the resolution changes. when i'm trying to go into recovery the resolution doesn't change but the it freezes at the same point. [16:03] when starting from the usb stick and using "try ubuntu without installing" it works fine [16:04] Not really familiar with this one though. [16:04] is there anything i can do to fix this ? [16:04] ikonia: swap and this mapper-root has Disk-identifier: 0x0000000 [16:04] is this serious issue? [16:04] karab44: where are you getting that error [16:04] ikonia: Okay [16:04] after typing fdisk -l [16:05] i cannot get a new vsftpd user to make directories in their home folder... what am i doing wrong? they are getting Command: MKD test [16:05] Response: 550 Permission denied. [16:05] ikonia: I read what you wrote above, if it's not serious issue, then that's ok :) [16:05] karab44: zero issue [16:06] ikonia, you don't happen to have a link to a guide for creating a partition through parted do you? [16:06] GH0: no to hand, I know it's a bit more complex, but the help comand normally works enough for me [16:06] ikonia: thank you very much [16:06] for helping me :) [16:07] Hy evrybody :-) [16:07] hi rebecajohnson20 [16:07] Well, I think I am off to a great start: [16:07] (parted) mkpart [16:07] Error: /dev/sdb: unrecognised disk label [16:08] GH0: no no, that's good [16:08] GH0: label it [16:08] GH0: mklabel I think is the command [16:08] GH0: check though as I'm rusty [16:09] ikonia, You found a bug in GNU Parted!

It won't install. I'm trying to install wi-fi through Additional drivers but at a certain point it gives an error,although it seems to work I'm not sure it does. this is my third attempt at installing the driver. Now the dmesg has a very odd error which I can not understand. [17:59] Hello. I have a repeated issue with ubuntu (and all its derivatives).

What happened when we do sudo ? I mean is the effective id changed to 0 or something else ? Is sudo a setuid program like s [18:36] dark_lord: if you are in the sudo group then the commands will have root access but use your profile and settings === awesome is now known as Guest87745 [18:36] Hi girl! how are u? [18:37] oh sorry i wrong window ;p [18:37] I am in the proces of building a firewall with Ubuntu 13.04 server. I wanna configure the iptables in order to get it work right. I saw the application FirewallBuilder. Does anybody used this program? Is it a good help in configurating the firewall? Or are there better methods? [18:37] dark_lord: you can setup groups of users and command aliases to restrict commands users can use sudo with if you wish too [18:37] hi girl [18:37] !ufw | Jaap_Jansen [18:37] Jaap_Jansen: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as Gufw also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [18:37] hello [18:38] people -- pray for my Ubuntu 13.04 to work [18:38] it's in the process of installing now [18:38] dark_lord: you can also make groups of commands not need password entry but this reduces security [18:38] ActionParsnip, yeah. I am talking about when I am in sudo group. But I am not getting how sudo gives root access. I am talking about the implementation of sudo command. Is it changes the effective user id to 0 like su. [18:38] ubottu, i deinstalled the network manager, will that be a problem using the ufw [18:38] Jaap_Jansen: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:38] swashbuckla: glad you are reaching the goal :-) [18:38] Dear Linus, please help me [18:39] guide me safe and true through this mire of Windows mess [18:39] dark_lord: su just means switch user. So 'like su' doesnt mean much [18:40] dark_lord: when you use su to root, your uid becomes 0 but the profile also changes to roots [18:40] dark_lord: wirh sudo the profile is your own [18:40] ActionParsnip, yeah. thats what I am asking, what happens then in case of sudo then ? Is my uid changes ? [18:41] dark_lord: for that one shot command, yes [18:42] ActionParsnip, Can you suggest me some source to read so that I can get more knowledge on that . [18:42] dark_lord: and as only root and other sudoers can set up users to be in the sudo group, it prevents users promoting themselves [18:42] Can any one tell me which is help channel for Ubuntu?

[18:55] Jaap_Jansen, not seen the ufw that I linked earlier? [18:55] bazhang, sorry [18:56] !ufw | Jaap_Jansen [18:56] Jaap_Jansen: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as Gufw also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [18:56] bekks if you arent ready to answer me i will reboot my computer and back ? [18:57] bazhang, i know ufw. But I uninstalled the networkmanager. Wil it also work without the networkmanager? [18:57] bazhang, and why ufw and not the iptables? [19:00] Jaap_Jansen, ufw is just a ip table builder, and gufw the frontend [19:00] enable ufw, and you will notice all running services are written in the rules [19:01] OerHeks, OK, I saw the app. firebuilder what you can use to set up the iptables. UFW does the same as firebuilder then? It configure iptables? [19:02] this is showing in terminal, The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required: linux-image-generic Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove it. what to do? [19:02] Jaap_Jansen, Yes. UFW is disabled by default, so it won't bite firewallbuilder === CurseNobody is now known as Newbie1 [19:03] CurseNobody, leave it, or remove it. === Newbie1 is now known as Newbie10 [19:03] OerHeks, so I can try UFW first. I think UFW is easier to configure. But i don't know if i can use it for a configuration with a WAN, LAN en DMZ as interface cards [19:03] Man, I can't get on hardware for anything, even if I try to change my nickname. Does anyone know if a refresh of 60 is cooler or hotter than 75 for a monitor? [19:04] Jaap_Jansen, that could be tricky, multiple lancards. [19:04] OerHeks, thats my question, should i leave it or remove it? is it gonna cause anything? [19:04] Hi [19:04] bekks -- [19:05] Newbie10, it just takes diskspace. [19:05] OerHeks, nothing else? gonna leave it then anyway [19:05] my ubuntu is slow , is there anyway to increase my speed a little guys ? [19:05] OerHeks, i thought so, that is why i looked a bit further and saw firewalbuilder to configure the iptables. But it is far more complicated then the use of ufw [19:05] Antar, slow? [19:05] Newbie10, and your grub menu will be 1 instance longer. [19:06] Yeah Newbie10 [19:06] Yeah Newbie10 after click something on the behavior [19:06] OerHeks, ohh, so just "sudo apt-get autoremove" will remove it? [19:07] newbie10 my computer is 1GB of ram [19:07] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6023929/ - Had a couple of people help a few things last night to no avail. Anyone have any ideas? [19:07] Antar, please use Lubuntu or Xubuntu [19:07] UGH Adobe pisses me off by stopping support flash player for linux [19:07] ubottu, !lubuntu | Antar [19:07] Antar: 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. [19:08] Newbie10 [19:08] no [19:08] Antar, what? [19:08] i want to use the default ubuntu it a good theme and envirenoment [19:08] dragyourhalo: is there not a PPA for what you need? [19:09] Antar, well, looks like your hardware cant run unity [19:09] Antar: just download ubunt from ubuntu.com [19:09] Newbie10 anyway to increase the speed without using the lxde or xsfce [19:09] ActionParsnip: google-chrome solved the flash slowness thing [19:09] thanks [19:09] anyar: you can makebother sesions look like Ubuntu with Ambiance-like themes [19:09] cheesecakes: awesome [19:10] hey ppl, I've been getting the error "ata_id[293]: HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for '/dev/sdb': Invalid argument " on boot, and one of my external usb drives isn't working properly. The drive takes about 5 - 10 extra min from boot up to mount, any suggestions would be awesome [19:11] /wc [19:11] my hardware is pretty old, but it runs Unity fine. Its a Via VA10 mobo using an AMD 1800+ CPU ,1 GB RAM and a NVIDIA vid card w/ 512MB onboard [19:11] blaircse: set the sata to ide compatibility mode [19:12] SketterB which command i use to get the info ? [19:12] i will pastebin [19:12] ActionParsnip: PPA? [19:12] skeeterb: the nvidia will help things. i suggest a ram upgrade. ram is stupidly cheap [19:12] dragyourhalo: yes [19:12] did nvidia release a driver which natively supports optimus, or, are we stuck with bumblebee still? [19:12] ActionParsnip: Brain fart... elaborate lol [19:12] v33: bumblebee is native [19:12] zorin os 7 is based off part of ubuntu for new users [19:13] isnt it [19:13] ActionParsnip: i thought they had a driver which took care of all that so there was no longer a need for it...i may be mistaken [19:13] dragyourhalo: its a 3rd party package source of someone that has already compiled and package at that version [19:13] to give new users a windows like interface to learn from [19:13] B0Rg666, zorin has a wiki, we do not know really [19:13] b0rg666: maybe but its not supported here [19:14] getting 30fps like a boss [19:14] ok i was reading about distros [19:14] : thanks, do you know a command for this? [19:14] v33: it still uses the nvidia driver. its just a switch. optimus (imho) is best avoided [19:15] im looking to walk away from windos [19:15] windows [19:15] hello. I have a kyocera fs 1030d. i can install it, and it appears to be recognized. but even when trying to print a test page, i get an error "client-error-document-format-not-supported" [19:15] ActionParsnip: I've lookd all over google for help with this, an rpm or something and I haven't found anything at all. I just don't understand how apt-get says that libmysqlclient installs but there is nothing there at all. [19:15] i have 2 gigs not 1gig i forgot that [19:15] blaircse: its a setting in bios. not in ubuntu so no there is no command [19:15] DragYourHalo: I'm no expert, but why not try finding libmysqlclient.so and pass it to ./configure using --with-mysql-lib= ? [19:15] ActionParsnip: agreed on the avoiding part, however i already have a laptop that has it. lol so essentially i still have to use bumblebee [19:15] skeeterb: 2Gb ram is fine [19:16] dragyourhalo: google isnt very good here. [19:16] ActionParsnip: awesome! thanks :D [19:17] the only thing that bothers me about linux is how some media producters (Adobe) has stopped support for Linux users [19:17] dragyourhalo: go to http://www.duckduckgo.com and search for: !ppa mysqltcl [19:17] SkeeterB: you can still get flash on chrome [19:18] dragyourhalo: it will send the search to launchpad and search for the package. You will need to trawl the results to see if they support your release etc. [19:20] anyone? [19:21] schppenhauer: how did you install the printer? [19:21] schppenhauer: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [19:22] ActionParsnip: Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS \n \l [19:22] ActionParsnip: I used the usual UI-Method from XFCE4 (xubuntu) [19:24] i don't trust google [19:25] !ot | SkeeterB [19:25] SkeeterB: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [19:26] schoppenhauer: try removing the printer from Ubuntu and powering it off and reboot. Try adding it from http://localhost:631 [19:27] ActionParsnip: how can I activate localhost:631. it is disabled under ubuntu per default. [19:28] schoppenhauer: its active and available. Not disabled at all. [19:28] Hi I'm having problems hibernating. when I click Quit>Hibernate, the next time I boot my PC it is as if I just pressed "Shut Down" because it just does a fresh boot. [19:28] lope: does the system have a make and model [19:28] ActionParsnip: well, when trying to access it with firefox, I get an empty page [19:29] ActionParsnip: that was why I used the GUI-thingy in the first place. [19:29] Action: I've got a Laptop, Asus N53SV i7 16GB RAM my linux partition is 32GB (EXT4), my swap partition is 32GB (Linux Swap). [19:29] Would there be a reason why bash wouldn't startup on.. well, startup? [19:30] When I reboot, I'm not in bash anymore. Not sure why? [19:30] Lope: 32gb swap seems rather excessive [19:30] auronandace: well I have 16GB RAM and I might upgrade to 32GB so I disagree. [19:31] For hibernation, thats needed. [19:31] ActionParsnip: the error_log sais "Error in the push function." and "A TLS fatal alert has been received." when trying to access it. [19:32] Lope: wow, 32gb of ram seems huge to me, just out of curiosity what do you use it for? [19:32] I run VM's and also use ramdisks sometimes [19:32] I run servers and use my development PC for testing and developing stuff involving VM's [19:34] So far 16GB is working well, but I haven't been running more than 1 VM at a time usually. that can change. [19:34] aurondance: really? I work on multi VM servers with terabytes of RAM... [19:34] on average I have 12GB used. [19:35] at the moment its quite time consuming opening and closing all my programs each time I want to switch off my PC. so I'd like to get hibernation working. [19:35] lope: whybdid you not add the model to the inotial question? [19:36] lope: do you have the latest bios? [19:37] lope: are there any bugs reported? [19:37] I do have the latest BIOS yes. [19:37] lope: is GRUB2 configured correctly? https://wiki.debian.org/Grub#line-95 [19:37] does GRUB affect the ability to hibernate? [19:38] is Brightside a good app? [19:38] Lope: I can run 4 KVM VMs on my i5/8GB Dell at a time. [19:39] * bekks can run even more than 4 vms on am i5/8GB at a time. [19:39] bekks: ...before things start feeling slow. [19:39] jpds: Yes it depends how much ram you give them and how much ram your host is using etc of course you can squeeze loads of VMs out of most PCs, but getting them running smoothly is another story. [19:39] jpds: Yes. === clepto1995|away is now known as clepto1995 [19:40] Lope: GRUB needs to pass your swap partition to the kernel at boot. On Ubuntu, it _should_ do that automatically. [19:40] Lope: Usually I give them 512/1G each, and things do feel smooth. [19:40] I've run loads of VMs as well. i wasn't implying I'm limited to 1. I only need one lately thats all I was saying. and my PC normally has 12GB ram used. [19:40] how can I install ubuntu on my pc ?? [19:40] !install | carael [19:40] carael: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - See also !automate [19:41] does anybody have an idea? [19:41] andycc: well my system boots without any problems so I imagine my GRUB is fine then? [19:41] Lope: well, that's the problem, it _just boots_. It should resume. [19:42] andycc: so does resuming have different requirements regarding GRUB [19:42] Lope: take a look at the Archwiki section on GRUB configuration - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Hibernate#Required_kernel_parameters [19:43] Lope: No. [19:44] Lope: Check /var/log/pm-suspend.log [19:45] are there a lot of freelance elisp jobs out there - say - compared to php/msql/apache or python... what kind of work would you usually be doing in elisp? or would you mostly be configuring your editor so you can code in another language? [19:45] hello [19:45] or compared to c#, .NET ... etc [19:46] andycc: I've just checked out /etc/default/grub and I see that my GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" [19:46] funga: wrong channel, try #programming. [19:46] so I will change it to add the resume option for my swap partition. [19:46] i have question [19:46] hopefully I won't break my ability to boot :) [19:46] andycc: alrighty then thanks [19:46] Lope: I have the same and my laptop works fine with suspend/hibernate. [19:46] Hey, does anyone know the key combination to grab windows and move them about? [19:47] abaddon_: Alt, left click on window? [19:47] Lope: yeah, just booted up my Ubuntu system and it's the same... looks like it's not GRUB [19:47] jpds: you mean you don't have the resume option set in your GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX ? [19:47] Lope: I don't. [19:47] ah, I wonder why I can't hibernate then :/ [19:47] Lope: That's why I told you to check the log to found out what the systme is actually complaining about rather than guessing. [19:48] oh sorry I missed that. [19:48] jpds, nope, not working?

[19:50] wilee-nilee, Wait, sorry, I didn't hold left mouse [19:50] there are a few errors, none look too critical so far... /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/99video: 22: /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/99video: shopt: not found [19:50] Lope: That's fine.

[19:51] abaddon_ the header will left click and grab. [19:51] jpds: suspend works fine by the way. its just hibernate that has problems,. [19:52] wilee-nilee, Ahhh, it worked thx [19:52] Lope: How much RAM/swap do you have? [19:52] 16GB RAM 32GB swap [19:52] Lope: Interesting, using any special modules? [19:53] Lope, this a desktop? does the sleeo work? [19:53] hmm, not that I can think of I mean I have LVM running for a data partition, but my linux and swap partitions are separate to that.

[19:53] Lope: That's irrelevant, my swap sits in LVM. === gnubie is now known as Guest53729 [19:54] Lope, I would use the suspend myself, hibernate takes a s long to work as a boot but thats just me. [19:54] I can try delete the log /var/log/pm-suspend.log and try again to see exactly whats up [19:54] Lope: Start here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspendHibernateResume [19:54] wilee-nilee: its more so that I don't have to open and close all my programs [19:54] I have a strange problem with my sound settings in ubuntu 12.04 [19:54] Lope: What size is your swap partition? [19:55] usr13: 32GB. [19:55] 16GB RAM 32GB swap [19:55] Lope, suspend you would not it just eats battery time in small increments is all. [19:55] i can choose analog surround 5.1 for analog output [19:55] but i cannot choose it over spdif in the digital output tab [19:55] wilee-nilee: trying to save electricity though [19:55] :/ [19:55] maybe its silly hehe [19:56] Laptop is plugged in so battery is not an issue. [19:56] and another strange thing is that the subwoofer for the analog sourround soudn is only active for one song [19:56] dosas, install pavucontrol , also in alsamixer choose spdif if possible [19:56] Lope, Hehe, you can only go so OCD on that sort of thang. ;) [19:57] i have already isntalled pavucontrol and in alsamixer spdif is enabled 00 [19:57] there is no level adjustement though [19:58] i cannot choose digital surround in pavucontrol [19:59] Lope: I would go through the debug page [19:59] cat /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume gives me the UUID of my swap partition. [19:59] jpds: doing it now, thanks [19:59] dosas, there is no level ctrl , but there is an option if you use up/down arrow key to find the pcm out option [19:59] oh I found the cause!!! [20:00] dosas, in the spdif ctrl === alin is now known as Guest90071 [20:00] well, when I increase the loglevel to "debug", i get Unsupported format "application/octet-stream". but in /usr/share/cups/mime/mime.types, there is an entry application/octet-stream [20:00] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspendHibernateResume my home partition is encrypted and therefore so is my swap. Hibernation works with an encrypted swap, but resume fails.... lol. [20:00] Lope: Just reformat your swap, uncrypted. [20:01] jpds: I'd rather not. [20:01] They have a workaround where you choose a password for your swap, and enter it at bootup. [20:01] Lope: swap encrypted? Never heard of that? Didn't know you could. [20:01] usr13: See the link I pasted. [20:03] Lope: No, I don't see that working. [20:03] to encrypt your swap: sudo ecryptfs-setup-swap [20:03] Lope, If you are registered with freenode you might try ##linux as well. [20:04] another page about it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedHome [20:04] okay thanks [20:05] Lope: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit #Send us resulting URL. [20:06] solved it thanks [20:06] anybody know how to control volume in Radio Tray? [20:06] i think spdif only works in 12.10 [20:07] dosas, nope I've used since 8.10 [20:07] okay but what's the trick [20:08] analog surround works fine [20:08] http://codepad.org/QrwfnFZB [20:08] It seems that my new install of Ubuntu 13.04 loads _no_ modules _whatsoever_ === Guest5830 is now known as McPeter [20:08] libasound2-plugins-extra [20:08] is what i foudn but i cannot install it [20:09] A quick inspection of lsmod shoes that no modules were loaded. This is a stark contrast to the state of my machine in livecd, which loads _all_ of the appropriate modules [20:09] trick , make sure your pcm level is above 80% [20:10] i cannot choose surround for the digital output only stereo [20:10] hi people [20:10] * mattwj2002 is currently installing ubuntu [20:10] dosas, which player are you using [20:11] guayadeque [20:11] it's not the player [20:11] I found a guide to getting hibernation working with encrypted swap: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnableHibernateWithEncryptedSwap [20:11] I love vlc [20:11] me too [20:11] :) [20:11] but not for music [20:11] Hello, Can anyone tell me which application is alternative for Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator in Ubuntu? [20:11] inkscape [20:11] or gimp [20:11] gimp [20:12] Could someone please help me with this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/6026348/ may be kind of complicated [20:12] I like gimp but it sounds bad [20:12] :) [20:12] gimp is nice. Very powerful once you learn to use it [20:12] You can always just run photoshop in wine [20:12] it runs pretty well [20:12] where to get equalizer presets for Audacious? [20:12] gimp in American English is a negative term for someone that is handicapped :) [20:13] dosas, in pavucontrol , no spdif out ? [20:13] also dont know how get http://paste.ubuntu.com/ to NOT be only on one line [20:13] a derrogatory term for someone that is disabled or has a medicial problem that results in physical impairment. [20:13] Anho, This is ubuntu support only. [20:14] I am recreating my mythtv box :) [20:14] BluesKaj: no in pavu control i have analog output of every kind and stereo iec958 [20:14] i tried already loading kernel moules snd-hda-intel and all that stuff [20:14] dosas , does the pcm option show up in alsamixer/ [20:15] yes [20:15] it shows [20:15] yes I know problem is ubuntu in VirtualBox just u need to know about the firewall [20:15] it is cranked up to amx [20:15] then it should show in pavuci=ontri=olk as well [20:15] pavucontrol rather [20:15] Hi there -- It seems that my new install of Ubuntu 13.04 loads _no_ modules _whatsoever_. Can anyone diagnose this problem? `lsmod` shows nothing but the column headers. `lspci -nnn -k` shows that no modules loaded for the pci cards it sees. [20:16] How do I fix so I don't need to be root for reading USB devices on my computer === colin_ws is now known as __colin__ [20:16] if I see the facetime app commercial again....

[20:18] when i want to update system shows this http://tinyurl.com/mo4cwxa ,i dont know how to fix [20:19] wilee-nilee, Doesn't matter all usb sticks regardless partition type [20:19] BluesKaj: I can't do anything of the sort. I don't have any modules for my network interface devices [20:19] BluesKaj: should yes [20:19] hi guys, how to I remove the quit and join message in xchat? [first time using it on ubuntu]. [20:20] BluesKaj: right now I am in a livecd environment [20:20] Alaev, right channel name [20:20] maxflax, That makes no sense a fat 32 would not need root how are you mounting them, in fstab or plugging? What is the OS? [20:20] wilee-nilee, The one im trying to access now is fat32 thou [20:20] Alaev, right click [20:20] SwashBuckla, sounds like you have an incomplete install [20:20] wilee-nilee, plugging and running ubuntu 13.04 [20:20] bazhang, and? [20:20] dosas try a reboot [20:21] maxflax, Have you reformatted any in 13.04? [20:21] Alaev, see the menu? [20:21] i already did several times [20:21] hey guys, i'm a beginner in linux, i'm trying to change the value of $PS1 env. variable with this value "[\t \j] ", but it returns me this error http://pastium.org/view/ae41a90581c4acb9f8293e88b08072d9 [20:21] bazhang, yep. [20:21] http://fransdejonge.com/2011/04/dolby-digital-5-1-over-spdif-with-pulseaudio/ [20:21] already tried this [20:21] BluesKaj: this has happened 4 times now. I'll admit I'm using the same install media each time I retry though [20:21] wilee-nilee, So I figured that I must have messed up the groups on my user or something. [20:21] but then then nothing worked anymore === NimeshNeema is now known as AgentSmith [20:21] BluesKaj: perhaps I can try again with a new install medium [20:21] Alaev, settings> hide joins/parts? [20:22] bazhang, i tryed via the advanced "QUIT" [removing the snippets]. didnt save my changes. [20:22] I know that it is a bit detailed but could someone please look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/6026348/ for me? The problem is with Ubuntu [20:22] maxflax, Do run in terminal in general with sudo -l to get no sudo access? [20:22] wilee-nilee, Yes I have formatted stuff in 13.04 [20:22] bazhang, Done! thank you! [20:22] SwashBuckla,well you know waht they say about trying something the same several times expecting a different result [20:22] BluesKaj: I tried different things within the install process [20:23] maxflax, What I wonder is if like some users you have been using su, or using a rooted terminal....etc or have run in rot? [20:23] BluesKaj: now it's time to try a different install image altogether [20:23] root* [20:23] BluesKaj: and if that doesn't work a different distribution [20:23] bazhang, is there any way to push the join/quit log into new tab? [20:24] SwashBuckla, ok good luck , perhaps a different image will be successful [20:24] Alaev, not sure , perhaps try #xchat === pedro_ is now known as Guest26774 [20:24] As I can see from the review of Gimp, It is similar to Photoshop......Is there any other App as alternative for Illustrator? [20:24] I know that it is a bit detailed but could someone please look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/6026348/ for me? The problem is with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS [20:24] wilee-nilee, I use sudo all the time ofc, but for me to be able to read a inserted usb memory I need to gksudo thunar or nautlius [20:24] jwtiyar, pastebin sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade [20:25] bazhang, Tnx. will give it a try now.

[20:41] hmm [20:41] the drive is in one [20:41] JacobGuy7800, yes. so configure both [20:41] Anho, or you can use the Tor browser or the new PirateBay Tor browser [20:42] well he wants a secure vm, so in that case i would suggest tails as well instead of tor client === ubuntu is now known as Guest81338 [20:42] okay.

[20:59] 2nd to last step [20:59] wilee-nilee, if u need any more info i will [20:59] when I enter "ssh -N -L 9150:10.0.2.2:9150 root@10.0.3.1" it says, "ssh: connect to host 10.0.3.1 port 22: Network is unreachable". Any ideas why? Also, I keep getting a pop-up saying, "Wired Network Disconnected - you are now offline". [20:59] usr13, solved it.. did chmod 755 on my /media/max and now it works [21:00] Anho: what is that step meant to accomplish? [21:00] maxflax: Okey dokey [21:00] usr13, thanks for all the help :) [21:00] maxflax: Not sure how it got that way tho ... [21:00] jwtiyar, Try this tehn run a update agian to see if the error shows. sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 8D8847D52F4AAA66 [21:01] wilee-nilee, ok will see [21:01] reisio: "Now you have told your Ubuntu machine to join the same network that your Firewall is on. Now we can establish a tunnel for TOR data to flow from our Ubuntu machine, through the Firewall, into your Windows guest machine. We need to establish two such tunnels." [21:02] "The first tunnel for port 9050 data, and the second tunnel for port 8118 data. When these two tunnels are set up, it will be possible for you to use your Ubuntu machine to access any website using TOR." [21:02] wilee-nilee, problem gone [21:02] usr13, I think that I might have created that folder with root or something - Could have been that it mounted to a folder in my homefolder and I didn't like that.. [21:02] Anho: windows guest machine?... [21:02] usr13, So I created that path instead- [21:03] jwtiyar, Cool, enjoy, I would just use dist-upgrade in general, and make sure you don't do any partial upgrades. [21:03] wilee-nilee, what will happen if i did sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [21:03] ? [21:03] guide says 9050 but TOR recently changed to 9150 so I use that [21:03] !dist-upgrade [21:03] A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [21:03] wilee-nilee, what u mean by partial updates? [21:03] yes Win7 [21:03] !upgrade [21:03] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [21:04] jwtiyar, Partial updates is what you see when not all dependencies are available yet, it can brick you easily. [21:05] wilee-nilee, i did fresh install of 13.04 before 4 months the partial updates windows every time shows when i want to update [21:06] jwtiyar, Well, you did not know what that means and have a ton of PPA's, I'm not surprised, I suspect you have run those partials right? [21:06] reisio: using Windows 7 [21:07] wilee-nilee, LOL yes all ppa's worked when i install them [21:07] Anho: can you ping -c 3 www.yahoo.com ? are the IP's used correct? [21:07] jwtiyar, I think you may not understand the definition of partial, a kernel being held is not a partial in the context I'm using, but a partial when you run a dist-upgrade, asically missing packages in a app. [21:07] basically* [21:08] wilee-nilee, so its not good idea to install ppa's ? [21:09] jwtiyar, Takes a little while to fully understand what and what not to do.....etc, I would just be sure to be backed up and even clonede on know2n working setups for easy of travel basically. [21:09] wilee-nilee, ok thank you very much [21:09] do you guys provide help with ubuntu based distros like mint? [21:10] jwtiyar, I would only use a PPA as a last resort, they are not supported here technically, and can cause problems at times. [21:10] reisio: "ping -c 3 www.yahoo.com" yields "ping: unknown host www.yahoo.com" [21:10] agora, Sorry no, they have a channel. [21:10] !mint [21:10] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [21:11] wilee-nilee dang, ok thanks [21:11] agora, Sorry, you might consider ubuntu mint is just ubuntu with a few easy plug and play options and I believe way less solid support. [21:13] anyone have experience with KVM on ubuntu [21:13] Elico: probably some ones have [21:13] here... [21:13] probably some ones here [21:13] just ask your question, maybe someones knows the answer [21:14] ok [21:14] thank xatr0z [21:14] I want to install the basic OS on one SSD drive and the VMs on another storage.. [21:14] like a raid5.. [21:15] mmhmmm [21:15] I dont want just the answer but more I want to hear about it from someone that have done this before...

Issue: http://pastebin.com/0RMS0FEr [22:15] I am starting to think that I just wont be able to update my computer anymore [22:16] iampoz, I think you need to share more info like the graphic card/card's etc, it's hard to help without details is all. [22:17] yeah that makes sense... [22:17] GH0, Packages have to be in the repo called to be downloaded. [22:18] or the release supported [22:18] wilee-nilee, I believe debsums is supported.

[22:20] but this corrupted file are the kernel header files, and i dont know if its possible to just remove that [22:20] That is why I would be pissed. [22:21] GH0, No one cares for your emotions, keep them to yourself, and be professional here if you can. ;) [22:21] Hi [22:21] hi TheUser [22:21] Hello TheUser [22:21] Well, if I attempt to purge the linux-headers-generic I get the following: http://pastebin.com/zqZ1mxYL [22:22] I am trying to set per user mime types [22:22] Is there a easy and quick way to make LXDE look Lubuntu "pretty" on Ubuntu [22:22] ahh same issue [22:22] TheUser, define pretty. [22:22] maybe apt-get autoremove or apt-get autoclean will do any good [22:22] TheUser: install lubuntu-desktop? [22:22] TheUser: or even just some of the packages it installs [22:23] when I edit ~/.local/share/applications and then run update-mime-database i get Directory '/home/user/.local/share/applications/packages' does not exist! [22:23] GH0: otherwise you would need to remove the header files or package (wouldnt know which) manually and apt-get install -f [22:24] GH0: but again not sure if its any different with kernel headers, with normal packages it should work however [22:24] http://pastebin.com/fcjSpdS9 Yeah, was going to say autoremove and autoclean didn't do it. [22:25] GH0: hmm, it says 'file list file', maybe its just /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-headers-generic.list [22:25] Ok so this would be different than just installing LXDE ? === james is now known as Guest32957 [22:26] how do i share mobile broadband connection (usb stick) over wifi? please help. ubuntu 13.04 [22:26] http://pastebin.com/SNfcTkg3 So just remove the generic .list and the .md5 and it should be alright? [22:28] arooni-mobile, You looked in the network manager network settings? [22:28] not sure using a double wifi is possible easily [22:28] double double wifi [22:29] GH0: im thinking that would work yes. maybe make a backup instead of remove to be sure :) [22:29] Yeah. [22:29] Hello all quick question if i execute "$ sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=/archive/sara/sdb.img" will that clone the whole hard drive, and make it possible for me to restore it exactly? Because Its a windows drive i am cloning, then wiping to install ubuntu, with 5 or so partions GPT/EFI. [22:29] arooni-mobile, If you can get the wifi why keeps the others from it/ [22:29] what* [22:30] rbtnc, I would clone it with clonezilla [22:31] I assume it does gpt [22:31] wilee-nilee: all my storage drives are on a RAID card and im having issues getting the driver into clonezilla [22:32] I would much rather be using clonezilla ;) [22:32] rbtnc, Ah, that sounds like a mess with failure waiting to happen, not sure why you would have to remove it to install ubuntu, and even if you do it will work, a vm might be better. [22:33] I believe the windows vm runs linux [22:33] it will windows is terrible and windows 8 without a touch screen is even worse than terrible [22:33] xatr0z, http://pastebin.com/cX1Rfj4W moving the file to *.bak didn't seem to solve it either. Now it just complains that the file isn't there. [22:34] its not this machine, its a laptop im working on [22:34] rbtnc, I use W8 without a touch screen easily I just have a 3rd party menu. [22:34] runs like w7 basically in context [22:34] i refuse to its dumb [22:34] rbtnc, and that is your error, oh well good luck. [22:35] not really [22:35] core values can be problematic if faulty [22:35] win 8 has no core values [22:36] people do [22:38] My core values are fine, I refuse to support a product I do not like, so I'm not going to find a way to deal with something I don't want. [22:38] So ubuntu 13.04 is supported for 9 months. What happens after that? [22:39] 13.10 [22:39] lol [22:39] and so on... [22:39] Sach: after that there are no updates. so you need to upgrade to the next version [22:40] 14.04 === add1ct3dd is now known as add1ct3dd|away [22:40] k1l: Okay, so how do I decide if I stick with 12.04 LTS or upgrade to 13.04? [22:40] I'm sure they will do another LTS 12.04 is the current LTS I believe [22:40] Sach, you ponder it. [22:40] Sach: new pc? [22:41] rbtnc: yes. [22:41] then u dont need to worry really [22:41] Sach, Only you know what you want in the end. [22:41] u will be able to upgrade for a while before you run into issues [22:41] Sach: 12.04 gets updated kernels, too. with the 12.04.2 and 12.04.3 releases. that are like servicepacks from windows [22:41] wilee-nilee: are there disadvantages to going with a version that is not LTS? [22:42] xatr0z, yeah, copying all those lines didn't work for this. It is still complaining about a newline missing. Even though the file has been changed. [22:42] Sach: shorter support frames [22:42] k1l_: do you know is 13.04 is stable? [22:43] *if [22:43] Sach: hope so since stable release has been out for 3/4 months [22:43] Sach: it is a stable relase [22:43] I am having trouble with my ubuntu crashing when the crash happens it has the numbers lock turn off and the caps and scroll lock flash repeatedly until I hard reboot the system, also after such a crash it takes multiple attempts to get the system to load under any version of the 3.8 kernel this was working fine until the upgrade to 3.8.0.29-generic [22:44] reddeath68: 3.8.0-30-generic [22:44] Sach, The support time is the main one, some want the newest iterations of apps, it is what fits your needs in the end. ;) [22:45] rbtnc, you mean upgrade to that kernel? [22:45] !reisub | reddeath68 [22:45] reddeath68: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [22:45] ok, thanks everyone. I'll think I'll test drive 13.04 and see how it goes... [22:45] reddeath68: can u get into recovery drop to shell and update, yes thats the current 30 [22:45] reddeath68, hard shutdowns are a bad idea. [22:46] wilee-nilee, i should be able to get into recovery but my computer relies on wifi not hardwire [22:46] ubottu, i had seen something about that when i was on here yesterday but didnt think about it [22:46] reddeath68: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:46] reddeath68: >recovery> enable netwroking> drop shell> update [22:47] how do i continue in a bash script? [22:47] should load your drivers [22:47] rbtnc, ok I will try that also sometimes the crash happens in a different way it kicks me to a console screen with lots of everrors if i read the screen right [22:48] reddeath68: console is fine u can update from there [22:48] reddeath68, try what rbtnc said [22:48] reddeath68: sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade [22:48] reddeath68, ubottu is the bot, I triggered it, I'm not sure of the context of the recovery and wifi inthe info shared so far. [22:49] sudo apt-get install && sudo apt-get upgrade [22:49] will do the same :P [22:49] reddeath68: should roll u up to 30 and hopefully get rid of your issues [22:49] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [22:49] trallala [22:49] if u want to get technical [22:49] ;)~ [22:49] I will trym I know one of the crashes mentioned a kernel panic if that matters before i go do the upgrade [22:50] same happened to me u should be fine [22:50] getting to .30 kernel should fix thigs [22:50] ok ill report back if things persist after this [22:50] thank you very much [22:50] 29 was out for less than a day, so that should tell u something ;) go upgrade [22:50] reddeath68, If you have done enough hard shutdowns you may want to fsck the setup, those can be damaging on top of whateverv problems are causing the lockups. [22:51] ` [22:54] Hello! [22:56] Hi, i have a acer s3-391 running ubuntu 13.04. my problem is that the fan constantly keep runing. Is this normal behavior or is there something i can do to fix it? [22:56] !lm-sensors | brenden maybe this [22:56] brenden maybe this: To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. [22:57] brenden, YOu can see the temps than and go from there. [22:57] wilee-nilee: thanks, i'll check it out [22:57] rbtnc, ok i got to all but the last step you gave me and when i typed update it told me command not found am i missing something (very possible im still learning to use linux) [22:58] brenden, You can use a conky, or a panel applet to see the temps, I use a exstension in the gnome-shell. [22:58] d [22:59] wilee-nilee: the current temps are 45 and 46 degrees celcius [22:59] reddeath68, can you pastebin sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade hit n for no to run it [22:59] Hello [22:59] wilee-nilee, sure give me one second my computer is a touch slow [23:00] brenden, That's not bad, the fans can be hard to control on some computers, so I believe the lm-sensors wiki has some info there, not sure. [23:01] hello , somebody from israel? [23:01] wilee-nilee: i just ran the sensor-detect command. gonna reboot and see if it helps [23:01] reddeath68: do what wilee-nilee said cause somethings not right [23:01] alvarus, Not a ubuntu support issue, would you like the channel? [23:02] working on it === andrex is now known as andrex|off [23:02] yes wilee-nilee [23:02] cause im missing something dont really work for troubleshooting lol [23:02] alvarus, cool, #ubuntu-il [23:03] ok , thank [23:03] no problem [23:03] reddeath68: did u sudo the commands? [23:03] reddeath68: had to ask ;/ [23:04] rbtnc, why sudo when i was in root? [23:04] ok thats fine [23:04] sure you were root? [23:04] but all of them are sleeping now , jaja [23:04] wilee-nilee: the fan noise wen down considerably. thanks for the help [23:05] i dont think it goes into root automatically [23:05] http://pastebin.com/zWzDnptT for apt-get update http://pastebin.com/TVjuDYQK for apt-get dist-upgrade [23:05] brenden, cool, enjoy [23:05] sensor-detect worked [23:05] reddeath68: $ or # [23:05] reddeath68, What OS os this, and why would you be in root? [23:05] Is gparted included in the alternate install cd? [23:06] wilee-nilee, it is ubuntu 13.04 and i was in root because i dropped down shell in recovery [23:06] quidnunc, no it is all text [23:06] wilee-nilee: There must be some partition manager, right? [23:06] rbtnc, what do you mean $ or # iv seen different people with either but i never knew why they were different [23:06] quidnunc, yes, there is you will see it. [23:06] reddeath68: # = root $ not root [23:07] wilee-nilee: What is it? I need to know if it supports resizing btrfs partitions === XLV_ is now known as XLV [23:07] quidnunc, Which release alternative are you wanting, above 12.04 it is a net install the mini. [23:07] reddeath68: when your in terminal # means your logged in as root [23:07] wilee-nilee: Yeah net install [23:07] 13.04 [23:07] rbtnc, o i c well i used drop down to root option in recovery so I assume i was running as root when it told me upgrade command didnt exist [23:07] reddeath68: do "uname -a" [23:07] quidnunc, I'm not sure on btrfs [23:08] rbtnc, http://pastebin.com/TVjuDYQK [23:08] wilee-nilee: what is the partition utility included on the net install iso? [23:08] rbtnc, woops wrong p[aste [23:08] reddeath68, YOU may not be mounted in recovery [23:08] reddeath68: it's "apt-get upgrade", BUT i'd suggest you want "apt-get dist-upgrade" for a kernel update (perhaps) [23:08] rbtnc, Linux reddeath68-desktop 3.8.0-29-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 13 23:12:18 UTC 2013 i686 athlon i686 GNU/Linux [23:09] reddeath68: ^^^ [23:09] quidnunc, I though btrfs could be resized live [23:09] so jump back to recovery and try apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade ? [23:09] yes [23:09] wilee-nilee: It can but gparted doesn't seem to want to do it (the option is greyed out) [23:09] ok will do also when we get this all fixed i got a few questions but lets fix this first [23:11] quidnunc, This might be helpful. http://askubuntu.com/questions/75120/how-can-i-safely-resize-shrink-a-btrfs-partition [23:12] quidnunc, just more info here. http://askubuntu.com/search?q=resize+btrfs [23:13] forgive me if this sounds naive, but should the root directory /var/www owner be root or the user? [23:13] root [23:14] well maybe not depends [23:14] root by default, but most people change the group to www-data [23:14] cjpcjp_, this might help. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1922768 [23:15] and then add your user to www-data so both apache and you can write to it [23:15] here he is... [23:15] shhhh hes back [23:15] hi reddeath68 [23:15] where does apt download packages to before installing? [23:16] tgm4883: /var/cache/apt/archives/ [23:16] ./var/cache/apt [23:16] xatr0z, bummer. Is that cleaned out often? [23:16] ok i ran both commands and both times received this output: the following packages have been left back libpam-modules libpam-modules-bin libpam0g [23:16] tgm4883: no [23:16] tgm4883: only if you do it i [23:17] tgm4883: open synaptic open settings you can change the setting and clear the packs from there [23:17] i installed ubuntu tweak for things like that and more (like removing old kernels) [23:17] but its not really stable or officially supported [23:17] hey guys. so i have a folder in my home directory named 'x' as well as an application named 'x'. if i use alt+f2 and want to run 'x', it instead opens the folder. is there a way i can change this? or do i just have to put full path for executable 'x' [23:18] u can do alot of damage with that lol [23:18] rbtnc, nah, I'm looking for an older package kernel package, but it's not on this machine I'm on [23:18] someone else must have cleaned this :( [23:18] o ok [23:18] so any ideas on that weird output when running the commands [23:18] reddeath68: are you on the system now? [23:18] Is there someplace to download older kernels? It doesn't appear to be available in apt anymore [23:18] yes i am [23:19] rbtnc, my other system is in for warrenty =( [23:19] so everything is fine now? what if you run the gui updater [23:19] rbtnc, gui updater? you mean system updater? [23:19] yes [23:20] do you get an error? [23:20] rbtnc, idk ill run it right now [23:21] tgm4883: you could run into troubles, but you could download the .deb's [23:21] probably need to install them with dpkg -i [23:21] xatr0z, I don't see anywhere to download the debs. They aren't on the repos [23:21] rbtnc, the problem is it crashes randomly gives me trouble booting a few times then works for a bit and repeats [23:21] well i wait for the updater i did have a few quick questions [23:22] reddeath68: IF (big If there) you are running the default ubuntu repos, i wouldn't expect anything to be left/held back, if you run "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade". IF on the other hand, you are mixing repos (or using any PPAs) then all-bets-are-off. [23:22] xatr0z, looking at http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-meta/ [23:22] first i want my pidgin to start on system load how would i do that? [23:22] reddeath68: LOL if we knew you where logged into the system we wouldnt have told you to do that other stuff [23:23] reddeath68: dont matter it shouldnt be holding updates back unless u did something, so updater crashed? [23:23] rbtnc, lol o well at least it shows it lets me lof in when it wants too.... [23:23] rbtnc, i ran updater once it said it couldnt load a repository told me to check connection hit try again and it worked [23:24] you prob have non official PPAs [23:24] so it gave you stuff to update including Kernel? [23:24] uncheck them in sources and ty again [23:24] rbtnc, showed no new updates [23:24] go to you Software Sources [23:25] rbtnc, also i did install a ppa last night manually via a deb i could remove the repo and try again? [23:25] setting > Software Sources === jono is now known as Guest52668 [23:26] !who | Johnny_Linux [23:26] Johnny_Linux: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [23:26] rbtnc, ok the ppa i installed didnt show under sources I may have missed it in the list [23:27] Johnny_Linux, You are not actually helping anyone but piggy backing and making comments at least use nicks. [23:27] reddeath68: show a "ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d/" in a pastebin please [23:28] tgm4883: i dont know what linux-meta means, but sounds okay. maybe youd better use http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/ [23:28] but either way changing kernels is not something to do for fun, could introduce alot of problems [23:28] or even a lot [23:28] and sorry it took so long to respond :) [23:29] xatr0z, I know. I'm actually trying to fix an issue though. That site doesn't list the version I'm looking for either [23:29] kil_ http://pastebin.com/wYmBJzRu [23:29] xatr0z: linux-meta is the source package for all the linux meta packages, ie, the packages which aren't headers and images [23:29] I'll have to try the later version and hope it works [23:29] xatr0z: linux-generic linux-headers, etc etc [23:29] LOL [23:30] wtf dude [23:30] ah makes sense :) [23:30] rbtnc, at me? === acrocity_ is now known as acrocity [23:30] no [23:30] rbtnc, acronyms are not acceptable [23:30] sorry [23:31] if it matters this is what i did to install the ppa last night gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv 0xb6f77e28fe4f4eac && gpg --export --armor 0xb6f77e28fe4f4eac | sudo apt-key add - [23:31] no biggie. ;) [23:32] reddeath68: you have to remember PPAs are basically a free unabated line into your PC [23:32] so u should really only add them if you 100% trust them [23:33] reddeath68: that's just adding a gpg key, only part 1 of adding a repo. while adding PPAs isn't the greatest idea IMO, use "add-apt-repo"-OR_SIMILAR_NAME to do it, it takes care of both the key and the repo in 1 easy step. [23:33] rbtnc, understood here is the official page for what I installed last night https://mapcrafter.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation.html but these problems have been ongoing since the kernel upgrade to 3.8.0.29-generic [23:34] zykotick9, please see the link i just posted for a full list of what i did under dection debian [23:34] section* [23:34] what ver are you runnin [23:34] of ubu [23:35] reddeath68: sorry, i don't go to pastebin.com [23:35] cause u have a raring ppa and a quantal [23:35] zykotick9, no the mapcrafter link shows what i did last night === stooo is now known as crobbler [23:36] rbtnc, i upgraded from 12.10 when 13.04 came out so it probably left the old ppas there [23:36] rbtnc, i do see the ppa i installed last night should i disable it and try to upgrade again? [23:38] Wonder why not pastebin.com... [23:40] qin: pastebin.com mangles input, takes forever to load, often makes us enter a CAPTCHA to see your paste and fills the screen with ads. Please use a different site, like http://paste.debian.net/ use paste.ubuntu.com here... ;) [23:41] never seen any of that but I have flash and adblock [23:42] I've just downloaded the 12.04.3 X86_64 desktop iso and attempted to burn it to a CD, but my burner tool states it's too large to burn to a CD. The md5sums indicate that the iso image is good, have I missed something here? [23:42] mjw99, Check the properties size [23:42] mjw99: isn't it a dvd? how big is it? [23:43] 724,992 KB.... hmmm ok === HMM is now known as Guest82262 [23:44] mjw99, cd's genrally will go to 720 [23:44] mjw99: ahhh that looks more like a cd to me? are you using a 650 or 700 cd? [23:45] 700MB cd [23:45] mjw99, Ubuntu has been above a cd load size for awhile, not sure when it started. [23:45] ? [23:46] alternate cd? [23:47] So, going from 12.04.2 --> 12.04.3 I can no longer burn to a CD? Is this mentioned in the release notes? I could understand going from a major release, e.g. 12.04 to 13.04 that such a behaviour change could be expected, but not for a point release. [23:47] hmmm as much as I dislike the idiots over at reddit; there seems to be chatter about this: [23:47] http://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/1kywq9/12043_too_big_to_fit_on_cd/ [23:48] mjw99, Why are you just not upgrading in the terminal [23:49] Is there a way to install gcc 4.7 without compiling from source? [23:49] jcorgan: with a binary :) [23:49] sorry, on 12.04 [23:49] wilnee-nilee, because I like to test to see if it actually works. 12.04.1 was the only version that worked on my latop; 12.04.2 crashed on boot. [23:50] mjw99, The oversizing of the iso is common knowledge. [23:50] not put in sky writing locally is all [23:50] wilnee-nilee; ok, but something in the release notes? [23:51] and making such a change on a point release? [23:51] mjw99, Not sure, it is of your interest and in your craw look it up, I surprised to be honest this is a big deal, there are many other issues in the world to focus on, ;) [23:52] I'm sorry I don't follow the term "in your craw look it up"? [23:53] mjw99: it might be that for a point release, they didn't take the time to make sure that it was small enough for a cd [23:53] hey guys i have a question when i randomly start up my laptop sometimes itXubuntu boots into terminal instead of the GUI. How can i attempt to diagnose the problem [23:53] it only happens randomly [23:53] only once every couple of restarts [23:53] and when i restart sometimes it just works and goes into the GUI [23:53] How can I fix this error: [3732448.908209] non-accessible hardlink creation was attempted by: named (fsuid 105) [23:53] ChogyDan, The info was announced and why [23:54] wilee-nilee; I assume that was a reference to the link I pasted? That was just a quick search to see if anyone else was having such an issue. [23:54] Psil0Cybin: try /var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:54] a long time ago [23:55] jcorgan: changing gcc on precise MAY not be trivial to do. gcc is a pretty "core" component. best of luck (maybe it's simple, i've certainly never done it) [23:55] Thank you ChogyDan [23:55] when each iteration of ubuntu is released on the ubuntu website that info is there they disappear on the next release basically [23:55] zykotick9: not trying to change it out, just need to compile something that uses c++11 features supported in 4.7 [23:56] so i want to install 4.7 along side the system gcc [23:56] was hoping there were packages but i guess 4.7 didn't get packaged back that far [23:57] jcorgan: i doubt the "package" system would allow you to have two concurrent versions like that... [23:57] i did find a page on compiling 4.7 from source but that's a lot of work and i'm lazy [23:57] jcorgan: I think there are ways of setting up build environments inside a chroot. Maybe sbuilder or pbuilder is what you are looking for? [23:57] ChogyDan: +1 for chroot [23:57] jcorgan: that way, it doesn't matter what your base system has... [23:57] ChogyDan: chroot 13.04 is exactly what i was thinking of [23:58] wilee-nilee; to address your second comment, doing something out of character (and I perceive this to be) on a point release does not instill confidence in the LTS governance of that distrobution. [23:58] *distribution [23:59] zykotick9: it is possible to have deb installs of multiple compilers; one gets to be 'gcc'; the rest are gcc-x.x and all the support stuff has prefixed directory names [23:59] but it has to be packaged that way
