[00:01] well, thanks [00:04] wilee-nilee; it's been insightful and thanks for the clarification [00:04] Hello all -- Just migrated my Ubunt 12.04 LTS from an OpenVZ container to my local system. Things wen't OK but I just noticed that iptables has not been compiled into the kernel, which was copied from the backup. I've installed a newer kernel and it works OK. But when i reboot, some setting is not enabling iptables into the new kernel. Any ideas where I should look to delet this setting? [00:06] is there a way of creating your own cloud storage in ubuntu? === gbit86_ is now known as gbit86 === Serseri is now known as Serseri|Uyuyorum === Nothing_Much_ is now known as Nothing_Much [00:09] how do I copy/paste from host to ubuntu running in VirtualBox?

[00:22] yeah [00:23] heroinhero115, I will be glad to help you, however I am noticing just a lack of detailed posts and answers, does this make sense to you for a quick resolution, this is a free service. ;) [00:24] not sure what you mean [00:25] heroinhero115, Cool, someone can help, not me best of luck. ;) [00:27] heroinhero115: sounds like a hard drive failure [00:27] is someone aware of the rationale, for why ubuntu consistently doesn't provide jigdo and jigdo template files, for "desktop" variants on a given release; alternate and server editions consistently do! 12.04.3 latest case in point [00:27] would formatting do anything? [00:27] if you used to use windows on it.. maybe needs a thourough chkdsk to fix errors first. [00:28] windows and linux mint [00:28] is there a Ubuntu iso that doesn't include all the ads to make you buy stuff like on the software center, Ubuntu One, Rhythmbox, Amazon.. etc [00:28] if you can still boot into windows run scandisk and shutdown properly then try to reinstall [00:29] startek, You can turn all that off and remove it if needed. [00:29] would be cool to have an analog clock widget that also shows lunar cycle [00:29] some of it anyway, not sure on the software center I never use it [00:29] startek: anything but unity [00:30] loadid_czech, i saw someone have one on a customized conky [00:30] adminewb, you can just do rsync or zsync unless you have to have gui. [00:30] i think unity is the only one with spyware [00:31] wilee-nilee ok but it still makes no sense to not provide jigdo's [00:31] adminewb, Its a 3rd party right? [00:31] pardon? [00:31] heroinhero115, is there a way to just use the unity side panel quick lanucher? [00:32] adminewb, Who puts together jigdo? [00:32] i'm looking at http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/, it's been this way for years afaict [00:32] not that i know of [00:32] i've pointed it out before on this channel and nothing gets done [00:32] i actually kinda like the unity quick launch panel heh [00:33] adminewb, look in development here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jigdo#History [00:34] "Jigdo is no longer undergoing active development, but is in "maintenance mode" - development has stopped" [00:34] took ablut 3 seconds to find that [00:35] wilee-nilee, i'm aware that no one is improving jigdo, but it's still plenty useful from my standpoint; debian still uses it to distribute images and so does ubuntu for some of the builds [00:36] startek: it's such an eyesore. would be better if it wasn't fixed [00:38] adminewb, I suspect that what you find important is not necessarily shred b y everyone, debian is a good system, but is old in every respect but the unstable and it is undated. Maybe you should add in some way to having it work the way you think it should I guess. ;) [00:38] when WinXP support ends i'll install a distro that has a single click quick launch on relatives' computers who are not good with computers [00:39] I installed Ardour on Ubuntu 13.04 and I have no sound since that.

Nothing has sound [00:42] adminewb, There is a reason why we are not hunter gathers anymore in general, its called adaptation, it can be quite helpful to move on rather than stew on unfixable issues. [00:42] I am looking for a program that I can modify some PDF files. All I need to do is add some red lines for a final positions on our antennas. I have tried gimp, libre draw and cad, and also blender none of these allow me to just draw. Anyone know of a good editor? running 12.04 [00:43] shortstraw8: gimme 2 secs [00:43] shortstraw8: replicago reader [00:44] shortstraw8, did you try copying the text to libre draw stuff and resave it as pdf? [00:44] that never works formatting and funny chars go to pot [00:44] the analogy doesn't work, sorry, and unfixable also is a distortion [00:44] Hello everyone [00:44] hihi [00:45] can anyone help? === FreakingTea is now known as FreakingShower [00:45] shortstraw8: gimp would do what you needed it to do? [00:45] startek, yes it is in pdf now, I have taken it to jpg, but the issue is I lose the the approved stamps from all the parent companies and engineers. I will try that mjayk thanks [00:46] why would you take it to jpg shortstraw8? [00:46] just edit the pdf and export a new pdf [00:47] GSilva, maybe its muted [00:47] loadid_czech, How do I just do a solid line cause my lines are all over the place [00:47] I'd probably use TikZ. [00:47] loadid_czech, So I could use libre draw [00:48] shortstraw8: http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-using-simpleobjects.html [00:48] i prefer inkscape [00:49] you can use lots of things to draw simple straight lines shortstraw8... [00:49] GSilva, maybe some kids made a how-to tutorial on youtube, try this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43ES7p4ejX0 [00:50] loadid_czech sweet thanks! I seriously look for this exact thing, guess I should have just gone to the source. [00:51] startek, I'm not interested on the application, I just removed it and... no sound [00:51] GSilva: have you checked your audio prefs? you mabey need to move your sound card to the top of the list? [00:52] btw, I have no sound on Chrome.. [00:52] loadid_czech, it's activated [00:52] not activated, prefered [00:52] yes, re-checked [00:53] clementine works now (re-boot the pc) [00:53] and so does Chrome [00:53] thanks anyway :) [00:53] sounds like somethings gettings piped incorrectly if clemintine still works... maybe your jack settings? [00:53] I've removed jack and something went wrong in there... [00:54] yeah, i don't think ardour would have messed up your sound... because I don't think it can, it would be dependent on the jack settings [00:55] GSilva, you likely didnt stop jack, removing it might not actually stop the service [00:55] yes, probably pfifo === andrex|off is now known as andrex [00:56] to get the obvoius out of the way GSilva.. you've rebooted? [00:57] apt-get remove --purge jack [00:57] loadid_czech, yeah, I did that and everything went back to normal :) Kind of new to Linux... Can't work out problems that easily [00:57] or jackd maybe? [00:57] removeing jack may have removed other bits.. reinstalling 'ubuntu-desktop'or whatever desktop you use should make sure they are installed === HMM is now known as Guest7123 [00:57] ugh [00:57] jackd confuses me too much. ;) [00:58] I'm guessing that this has already happened to someone, but I did a recent dist-upgrade on 13.04 server, and now grub doesn't timeout to the first option, it just waits, obviously that's not an option for a server... [00:58] jackd is confusing, but works nicely in some cases [00:59] Seven_Six_Two, Have you tried running update-grub [00:59] Seven_Six_Two, change the GRUB_TIMEOUT line in /etc/defaults/grub and then run `sudo update-grub` [01:00] brb, switching kernels [01:01] hi guys easy question: how can I change sound device? [01:01] alsamixer lets me change sound card... but my sound card has HDMI and analog out [01:01] I need to have it play on analog out, not hdmi [01:02] TLoFP1: i seem to recall pavucontrol for that [01:02] Dr_Willis: giving it a shot [01:04] Dr_Willis: didn't work [01:04] it doesn't have a section to switch between HDMI and analog [01:04] TLoFP1: you need to have pulse audio installed for pavucontrol to work [01:05] loadid_czech: already installed [01:05] the thing is UBUNTU is talking to a sound card but no sound emits from laptop [01:05] on either headphone jack OR build in speaker [01:07] wilee-nilee, not yet. I just got it down from the shelf and plugged it in to find the grub screen\ === kb3gtn|2 is now known as kb3gtn [01:07] TLoFP1: in pavucontrol what do you have selected as output device/port? [01:08] pfifo, I'll give that a shot, thanks. [01:09] ohh... nevermind, i see you tried both. have you rebooted TLoFP1? [01:09] loadid_czech: no [01:10] Just did a fresh install of ubuntu, but the OS doesnt see my wireless hardware. How do I 'activate' it? [01:10] loadid_czech: pavucontrol seems to give me the option to switch to analog out [01:10] but still no noise emittes from speakers [01:10] Sach, what wireless hardware do you have? [01:10] interestingly, GRUB_TIMEOUT=2 [01:10] even though pavucontrol seems to indicate that it is playing [01:10] make sure you got the volume up on the speakers? ;) [01:11] Sach, this an internal wifi, can you identify it, lspci internal lsusb if usb. [01:11] and no headphones plugged in.. (did that last week) [01:11] TLoFP1: alsamixer [01:11] usr13: alsamixer doesn't allow me switch away from HDMi [01:11] wilee-nilee: it's the wireless card that is preinstalled in my laptop [01:11] TLoFP1: have you tried to do any interesting hacking to pipe audio into a recordable channel? that can mess things up sometimes [01:11] it shows however that I am still set on HDMI, no matter what I select in pavucontrol [01:11] TLoFP1: You don't see the option(s) in alsamixer ? [01:11] Sach, lspci in the terminal and tell up what it is. [01:12] loadid_czech: no, im vanilla [01:12] pfifo: not sure exactly...whatever was preinstalled in the laptop by the manufacturer. [01:12] usr13: no, I do not, I can change soundcards via f6 [01:12] but that is not what I am trying to accomplish [01:12] Seven_Six_Two, This sever the only OS installed on the HD? [01:12] have you tried unplugging the hdmi.. maybe something is prefering hdmi over pavucontrol [01:12] Sach, can you pastebin the output of `lshw` [01:13] loadid_czech: hdmi is not pluged in [01:13] just using laptop as is [01:13] TLoFP1: Anything muted? or turned down? (like PCM maybe?) [01:13] wilee-nilee, yes, and I did as you suggested and this reboot it defaulted properly [01:13] wilee-nilee, thanks!! [01:13] usr13: no everything on 100% [01:13] cool [01:13] wilee-nilee: broadcom [01:13] pavucontrol levels are moving you said, which means the system sees sound.. do you have jack installed? [01:14] loadid_czech: jack as in software, or a audio jack pluged in? [01:14] Sach, Cool, we have broadcom wiki, pfifo is more knowledgeable here. [01:14] jack software [01:14] no [01:14] !broadcom | Sach just for info [01:14] Sach just for info: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [01:14] although now I've noticed that it requires some usb keys that have fstab entries in order to boot. that shouldn't be. It should just put an error entry and resume as it's just data. [01:14] installing now, report in a sec [01:14] TLoFP1: play /usr/share/sounds/alsa/* === FreakingShower is now known as FreakingTea [01:15] have you checked the audio settings of the individual program to make sure it's not piping audio somewhere wierd? [01:15] usr13: play not installed [01:15] TLoFP1: install sox [01:15] loadid_czech: all programs don't work [01:15] across the board [01:15] installing sox [01:15] didn't you said clemintine worked? or was that someone else? [01:16] loadid_czech: I made no reference to clemintine [01:16] usr13: it is playing [01:16] but no sound [01:16] no error of any sort, just indicates sucessful playing, but my ears hear nothing [01:16] when did sound break? [01:16] loadid_czech: never worked [01:17] fresh install of ubuntu [01:17] TLoFP1: Did you install sox? [01:17] (you know: NSA + windows 8 = not fun) [01:17] usr13: yes sox is installed now [01:17] maybe hardware issue? are you sure the speakers work?

[01:17] TLoFP1: It is a hardware issue. Is it a laptop? [01:17] can someone help me further diagnose the problem it happends randomly, and is fixed by a quick restart but it never used to happen [01:17] loadid_czech: when I open alsamixer it clearly indicates that it is streaming to HDMI [01:17] usr13: yes laptop [01:18] TLoFP1: Trun speaker volume(s) up.

[01:19] loadid_czech: I do not know how to get to "sound prefs" [01:19] I can only get to "sound settings" [01:19] from the pics I saw online these are two very different dialogs [01:19] ok.. maybe sound settings.. looking for phonon [01:19] does anybody have a live stream MTV link? [01:19] http://askubuntu.com/questions/41858/shortcut-to-switch-between-analog-stereo-output-hdmi-audio-output [01:19] i think.. [01:20] or is phonon only a kde thing?

[01:46] usr13: yes because I just unsitalled, as was suggest [01:46] i think it should open the K menu by default.. but that's for another # [01:46] now I do not have any sound settings anymore [01:46] Still, Dr_Willis, wilee-nilee, what matters to me is /dev/sda3 and its ability to boot after such operation. [01:47] TLoFP1: *keyboard* volume and mute controls? [01:47] alsamixer still works though [01:47] usr13: yes, they no longer change system settings [01:47] lgc, What are you actually doing just one new partition or two? [01:47] TLoFP1: Not sure I understand what you are saying. What no longer changes system settings? [01:48] usr13: the physical buttons, no longer change the volume in alsamixer [01:48] as long as you don't move sda3 or mess with the boot loader you'll be good lgc.. resizing partitions won't hurt [01:48] usr13: furtheremore in the system bar, I no longer have a speaker icon [01:48] TLoFP1: Have you tried headphones? [01:48] usr13: sound settings also does not report a sound card anymore [01:48] usr13: yes I have [01:48] maybe if you delete sda1 if that's where grub resides could cause a problem but i'm not sure on that one [01:48] wilee-nilee: From two partitions I want to have just one. I wonder if Gparted will do the renumbering or if the numbering can be non-consecutive. [01:49] TLoFP1: Have you tried a set of headphones? [01:49] usr13: yes [01:49] lgc, what are sda1 and sda2? [01:49] TLoFP1: Update alsa [01:49] loadid_czech: You mean that after I delete and reformat the partitions before sda3 it will still be sda3? [01:49] usr13: newst version [01:49] looking for a document collab and task management CMS of some sort for a group of 10 folks .. low budget so FOSS is ideal [01:50] yes lgc [01:50] loadid_czech, Not in my exsperience at least in a exteneded [01:50] hello [01:50] wilee-nilee: They are Windows recovery and Windows. If I am right, you were kindly giving me advice as to what could be wrong with them the other day. [01:51] any way i can install gnome 2.6 on ubuntu 12.04? [01:51] TLoFP1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure [01:51] loadid_czech: So it won't be automatically renumbered. [01:51] usr13: looked at that already [01:51] TLoFP1: "Step 3"? [01:51] nope, won't be renumbered [01:52] sda3 will stay sda3 [01:52] lgc, When I have removed partitions in a extended partitions with gparted they ones above went down a number, I assume this happens with primaries. [01:52] loadid_czech: Allright! [01:52] you may actually have trouble removing sda2 [01:52] how to fix "cheking battery state '' on backbox [01:52] ? [01:52] you can format it.. and resize it.. but sometimes you thing they will join together.. but the partitions act like jackasses and won't combine like you think they should. still will be okay though [01:52] ice-man: the 'backbox' linux disrto? [01:53] yeah , i guess [01:53] mergeing 2 primary partions or 2 logicals in a extendeed partion should work. [01:53] ice-man: What version of Ubuntu is it? [01:54] wilee-nilee: this is somewhat in contradiction with what loadid_czech says, I'm afraid. loadid_czech, what do you say about this? [01:54] ice-man: 12.04? [01:54] ice-man: if its not an official ubuntu variant.. then its not supported here. Id check that disrtos web site to find its support channels. [01:54] ice-man: Ctrl-Alt-F6 ? [01:54] http://www.backbox.org/ [01:54] maybe that does depend on if they are primary or logical partitions [01:54] usr13: http://pastebin.com/VKJeMG6S [01:55] BackBox is a Linux distribution based on Ubuntu. It has been developed to perform penetration tests and security assessments [01:55] just make sure you update-grub before you reboot after partition editing and you should be fine. [01:56] if you're at all concerned.. don't delete any partitions.. just use them as extra storage [01:56] what i get if i use Ctrl-Alt-F6 ? [01:56] how can bring down the menu from top corner to the bottom corner on Gnome 12.04? [01:56] excuse for my english [01:56] loadid_czech: I need the space in order to mount Windows again. [01:57] Obi1Kenobe: you mean in gnome-shell? or unity? or gnome-classic mode? [01:57] ice-man: What *do* you get when you do Ctrl-Alt-F6 ? [01:57] hey, anyone here ? [01:57] ice-man: tty6? [01:57] gnome-shell [01:57] that can help me? [01:57] nope...place is empty [01:57] !anyone | machstem [01:57] machstem: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [01:57] Obi1Kenobe: i would check out the various gnome-shell ext4ensions to see what tweaks they have [01:57] hey, I was wondering if anyone is around to help me out with a weird issue installing xubuntu on a ASUS EEE PC Flare Series [01:57] usr13: let me try turning sound on in windows real quick, brb [01:57] loadid_czech: Can I run Gparted from sda3 if I am not going to move it? [01:58] I wanted to install xubuntu 12.10 for my daughter on this thing, and the process seems to go, but all throughout the install I see a message about "unable to enumerate usb device on port 1". It goes on, over and over and over again, throughout the installer, and then on reboot after a successful install, it constantly floods the screen. I never end up seeing a GUI, just a init3 login prompt. It's so bad I can't even see myself type si [01:58] over and over again. [01:58] machstem, State the issue for help. [01:58] I installed the OS using a USB drive; having use the ubuntu usb installer method. There are no options for me to disable USB ports in the BIOS of this thing. I'm at a loss as I haven't been able to find anyone who can help. I tried a command: update-usbids and the command worked, but the messages keep appearing repeatedly. [01:58] there :) [01:58] illogical question lgc [01:58] copy/pasted from #xubuntu [01:58] thanks Dr_Willis [01:58] Why so, loadid_czech ? [01:58] machstem: seen a similer issue on a laptop i had with a Bad Webcam built in. But i was able to start the Live-cd Desktop installer with no issues. the console was constantly flooded with messages. [01:59] soo can i fix this fuckin' problem ?? i don't know how to fix it ... i guess i have to say tht i'm a begginer , i use linux from 3 days nd after i made the 'updates' i get this error [01:59] machstem: i either disabled the webcam in the bios. or i edited the /etc/sysctl.conf once i had it installed to turn off the logging of messages. [01:59] its possible to fix tht error ??? [01:59] ice-man: you are using the Linux from http://www.backbox.org/ ? [01:59] what error ice man? [01:59] i don't think you'll have a problem lgc.. just make sure you run update-grub before you reboot.. if your partition numbers change update-grub will catch it and still let you boot into linux [02:00] ice-man: What *do* you get when you do Ctrl-Alt-F6 ? [02:00] just ran a command in the terminal, but got a message I don't understand: http://fpaste.org/34708/74823661/ [02:00] ice-man: What error do you get? [02:00] ice-man: What *do* you get when you do Ctrl-Alt-F6 ? [02:00] Dr_Willis: the BIOS is really limited and I can't seem to disable anything but the SATA controller (ugh)…but that's definitely a good start. But what would prevent me from seeing the xubuntu login prompt; I sit at a init3 login prompt [02:01] machstem: could be a bad cd/iso/burn/made usb. would be my guess. [02:01] machstem: you see the login: on the INSTALL cd/usb? correct? [02:01] ice-man: Ctrl-Alt-F6 = Hold down Ctrl and Alt keys while hitting the F6 key. (Tell us what happens when you do that.) [02:01] yes, loadid_czech, that part I got. What I'm not sure of is if I can afford to run grub from my HD without risking my linux. [02:02] still not making sense lgc [02:02] Dr_Willis: I get a successful install, but when I expanded the details during the installer I could see that enumeration over and over again. The installer completed and I rebooted and now I only see the textbased login prompt [02:02] usr13: im back [02:02] still no sound :( [02:02] sorry, loadid_czech. What doesn't make sense? [02:02] missing that hardware tab may be of issue TLoFP1 [02:03] machstem: you may need to get the proper video drivers setup and thats being a pain due to the hardware issue. [02:03] loadid_czech: yes, what did we unstill earlier (I can't scroll back due to reboot) [02:03] how do I remove bcmwl-kernel-source ? [02:03] pulse audio TLoFP1 [02:03] Sach, when you run a program that installs packages it creates a file to say 'hey, im installing stuff' if any other program should then decide to install stuff, and it sees that file is there it will say 'Hey, i cant safely install this right now' [02:03] sach apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source [02:03] yeah, on the #xubuntu chan someone suggested i find a different version, 13.04 possibly will work [02:03] i reinstalled pulse audio and rebooted, but still don't see the speaker symbol in the system tray [02:03] i used before uninstalling pulse audio [02:03] TLoFP1: Did you update alsa ? [02:04] pfifo, I just rebooted, so there is no other program running... [02:04] usr13: alsa is up to date [02:04] usr13: via sudo apt-get install alsa [02:04] is it in the extended system tray TLoFP1? maybe you have a little arrow icon that shows extra system tray icons? [02:04] Sach, then you can safely delete /var/lib/dpkg/lock [02:04] TLoFP1: "Step 3"? [02:04] loadid_czech: no arrow icon [02:04] pfifo, what is the command to do so? [02:04] usr13: posted output already [02:04] !fixapt [02:04] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [02:05] Is Ubuntu planning on integrating Google calendar in the system tray calendar? [02:05] TLoFP1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure "Step 3" (Do it.) Update alsa using instructions in "Step 3". [02:05] Sach, `sudo unlink /var/lib/dpkg/lock` [02:05] Sach, do what ubottu said [02:06] lgc: let's start at the begining... why are you resizing partitions? [02:07] usr13: I ran step3, now what? [02:07] I never said I am resizing partitions, loadid_czech. I said I wanted to leave sda3 untouched. Perhaps it makes sense to you now. [02:07] TLoFP1: I don't know, you tell me ;) [02:07] pfifo, the first command from ubottu worked, but the second command produced this: http://fpaste.org/34709/13774828/ [02:07] what are you trying to do lgc? [02:08] usr13: well I will try another reboot [02:08] Sach, you put that » in there, its not part of the command [02:08] loadid_czech: I want to wipe out sda1 and sda2, which are Windows and Windows Recovery, and reinstall Windows in that space, leaving sda3 untouched. [02:08] lgc, You want windows again right in the same place? [02:09] you're confused lgc [02:09] wilee-nilee: Yes, but I don't need the recovery partition anymore. [02:09] Sach, its all one command, sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a [02:09] loadid_czech: Am I? [02:09] lgc: if you just delete sda1 and sda2 and leave them unallocated. the system should still boot in my experience. reinstaling windoww will overwrite the bootloader [02:09] but besides being confused about what you are trying to accomplinsh... [02:09] lgc, Use the windows manual install to remove those partitions and install [02:09] if you reinstall windows, you're going to bork your grub, not your sda3 [02:10] lgc,yeah and you will have to reload grub in the mbr no biggie use the bootrepair tool from a live cd. [02:10] lgc: it also may depend on how you are putting windows back on. some system 'recovery' modes may erase other partions on the hard drive. while a Normal Windows installer should give you options [02:10] and if you can't figure out how to resize partitions correctly, i'm definatly not going to try and explaining chrooting into your existing ext3 to update-grub on your newly installed bootloader compliments of windows [02:10] good luck [02:10] usr13: listening to radio [02:11] ears are engulfed in musical glory :-) [02:11] wow this was retarded [02:11] what file explorer begings with n or r ahain [02:11] TLoFP1: what was the fix? [02:11] 4 letters [02:11] loadid_czech: boot into windows, unmute sound [02:11] boot back into linux [02:11] what? [02:11] wtf? [02:11] yea [02:11] I saw a reference to it on the googles [02:11] it mentioned a particular toshiba laptop that exhibited this behavior [02:12] must be a bios setting? [02:12] TLoFP1: ;) ive seen some WEIRD sound cards where if i cold booted straight to ubuntu/linux they would work.. if i booted to windows. then rebooted back to linux without powering off - they wouldent initilize properly. ;) [02:12] since very view people have a panasonci CF-31, and even viewer install linux on it, not much about my particular laptop was available online [02:12] but I guess im one of those lukcy laptops :P [02:12] interesting... [02:13] i wonder if the aliens know about that yet [02:13] I belive that "muting" under windows changes something in bios [02:13] TLoFP1: Ok, glad you got it. (It may be that it is a BIOS setting to mute it.) [02:13] wilee-nilee, Dr_Willis so I proceed with normal Windows installation and I'll eventually run into some options to proceed with the partitions. Am I right? [02:13] TLoFP1: Right [02:13] TLoFP1: I think you are correct. [02:13] this laptop has a "stealth" mode that among other thing has the ability to mute all sounds from bios [02:13] and I belive this is also controllable via windows through a panasonic driver [02:14] it could be that this was somehow embbeded into the sound controll [02:14] would have to be bios or some kind of bios-level chip on the sound card itself [02:14] TLoFP1: Quite possibly. [02:14] so when I muted it, it physically turned it oof [02:14] off* [02:15] help [02:15] lgc, This a standard windows install disc? [02:15] anyways, quite interesting stuff [02:15] what file browser begins with r or n 4 letters [02:15] you need to yell fire TuRnIP.. no one cares when people need help [02:15] wilee-nilee: Fresh from the Internet... ;) . [02:16] wilee-nilee: So I suppose it is standard. [02:16] lgc, this a legitimate MS disc? [02:16] TuRnIP, try asking best bot in #ubuntu-bots [02:16] wilee-nilee: It's a test version, I suppose. [02:17] lgc, What release? [02:17] TuRnIP: Are talking about a file manager? [02:17] wilee-nilee: 8. [02:17] nero i think it is [02:17] lgc, 8.1? [02:17] wilee-nilee: I'm not sure. [02:17] how do I remove the delete option from its file right click menu [02:17] Can anyone help me with Virtualbox? I get 'The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv.' when starting a machine. [02:17] ok trying to figure out how to get that other distro i use installed on my older laptop ... not counting the issues with ploop boot manager (not getting into that) it seems like its about to boot (liveusb) then suddenly the external CRT goes out and doesn't come back on [02:18] I tried running the command it says but it couldn't find the script. [02:18] move to trash should still be there tho [02:18] TuRnIP, likely have to edit the source code [02:18] Hexagonite: you need to run /usr/share/virtualbox.drv or something [02:18] (old laptop with burnt out LCD light.. .hence the reason for the CRT) [02:18] TuRnIP: Why? [02:18] loadid_czech: couldn't find it :( [02:18] incase I hit the wrong option [02:18] TuRnIP: Why would you want to remove the delete option? [02:18] lgc, You want the manual part of the partitioning is all it will allow you to remove those partions and reinstall in its place, you will need to reload grub to the mbr is all the bootrepair tool from the live ubuntu disk works nicely. [02:18] i can't remember the exact path.. but it's something like that Hexagonite [02:19] im kinda blind almost too... [02:19] TuRnIP: attach red tape to Del key? [02:19] loadid_czech: the error said the path but just like what I said [02:19] lgc, Just be sure you hit the manual portion of the partitioning. [02:19] that key will be mapped to move to trash [02:20] I had a system once, it was running a website, and I had it move stuff to /dev/null instead of deleting things due to technical limitations, it only took 4 months until I ran out of inodes [02:20] run as sudo Hexagonite? [02:20] TuRnIP: Delete option as well. [02:20] then stuff can be deleted from there [02:20] loadid_czech: of course, still not found [02:20] TuRnIP: or remap key so new Del would be somwhere far... [02:20] serioustly bro [02:20] lgc, This is a mbr setup as of now right not a uefi gpt partitioning right? [02:20] wilee-nilee: OK, so the boot repair tool will spare me from reinstalling Ubuntu and I must proceed with manual partitioning on Windows. [02:21] hmm [02:21] There is no gui file manager deleting file with no shift-del combo [02:21] lgc, This is a mbr setup as of now right not a uefi gpt partitioning right? [02:21] how to make wizards for linux [02:21] wilee-nilee: what is a uefi gpt? [02:21] what command did you try Hexagonite? [02:21] lgc, Are you in ubuntu? [02:21] will finish my snack and start googling [02:21] is there some tool in ubuntu for to do this [02:21] TuRnIP, look into programming with quickly [02:21] loadid_czech: sudo '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' [02:22] and that said not found Hexagonite? [02:22] ? [02:22] It's on my other machine, wilee-nilee. Do I need to check it? [02:22] loadid_czech: yep [02:22] loadid_czech: 'sudo: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup: command not found' [02:22] i'd try installing again, something didn't take right? [02:22] lgc, If you don't know already yes, run sudo fdisk -l from that ubuntu and pastebin it. [02:22] do you have a /etc/init.d/vboxdrv folder? [02:22] I tried to reinstall it again with 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall virtualbox' [02:23] bash can do all this? [02:23] apt-get remove --purge virtualbox and download the .deb file from virtualbox.org [02:23] Is there a ubuntu equivelant to RHEL et al.'s kickstart system? [02:23] loadid_czech: there are no folders on /etc/init.d :( [02:24] whats the equivelant to an api or runtime library in bash [02:24] loadid_czech: I also got this on reinstall 'No suitable module for running kernel found' [02:24] TuRnIP: bash, python, perl, depends on what you want to do exactly [02:24] ummm... no folders in init.d [02:24] you have other problems [02:24] lgc, I suspect you are mbr, just making sure don't want to live up to my nick. ;) [02:24] wilee-nilee: not much from fdisk -l [02:25] TuRnIP: python may be the best tool for the job on ubuntu. but it depends on what you need the wizards to do exactly [02:25] sudo fdisk -l [02:25] lgc, sudo fdisk -l === HMM is now known as Guest86846 [02:25] ah ok [02:25] loadid_czech: does that include financial problems [02:25] Yes, that's what I did. [02:25] bbl [02:25] lgc, l is a small L [02:25] l as in List. ;) [02:26] Yes, of course. [02:26] lgc, its a partition lister [02:26] What info do you want. [02:26] poor fdisk - dosent support --list ;) [02:26] lgc, all of it [02:26] It reports four partitions. [02:26] Hexagonite: i would try to download virtualbox .deb file and try again [02:26] !pastebin | lgc [02:26] lgc: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [02:26] I'm actually downloading it right now [02:27] sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit [02:27] lgc, put all of it including the command in the pastebin and post the url/ [02:28] or sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit if you have pastebinit installed [02:29] pastebin.com/y2VTTE1S, wilee-nilee [02:30] lgc, Looks good no gpt you can just use the manual install from the windows disc [02:30] Dr_Willis: when I do that nothing happens. Is it supposed to return the URL? [02:30] lgc, The W8.1 is supported free for just a short time is all. [02:30] wilee-nilee: OK, thanks. [02:31] allowed free that is [02:31] wilee-nilee: OK. [02:31] enjoy [02:31] wilee-nilee: you bet! Thanks! [02:34] lgc: it works here [02:34] Dr_Willis, has to be installed I believe. [02:35] should return a command not found/use the following.... if its not installed i imagine [02:35] should be part of the install, I mean we are beyond a cd anyway, "my rant" [02:35] I need to get familiar with the filesystems. my question is on 13.04 desktop. when i want to search for a certian file. I can use nautilus to navigate to my file system under "computer" but then once i am there i need a linux background to understand where to look for certain files. is there an easier way or do we need to learn all the file systems and where to look for certain files to use Ubuntu effectively? [02:36] what files are you looking for majornick? [02:36] majornick: most of the 'bash' tutorials will cover file/path basics. thats where i would start [02:37] majornick: in nautilus (the file manager) you can hit ctrl-l i think to show the path to where the stuff is you are looking at [02:37] majornick: what sort of files are you looking for? [02:37] 'computer' here is just the / of the filesystem [02:37] loadid_czech: Well today i was wondering to browse to lok for a possilbe Unity-greeter-wallpaper file to see if i could change the unity greter log in scren wall paper. i al ready removed the white dots from that screen so i was looking for that where those files might be [02:37] so a better name would be 'root filesystem' instead of 'computer; [02:37] majornick: in terminal: man fs #manual for file system in your box [02:38] majornick: configuration things like that tend to be in /etc/ [02:38] majornick, Once you figure it out I believe it has to be a ping [02:38] majornick: if you have locate or mlocate, you can also use 'locate *foo*' to find things, and for more dynamic searching, you can use find / -iname '*foo*' [02:38] the default wallpaper used to be in /usr/share/backgrounds/ [02:38] Hello! [02:38] majornick: but most of the time what you should do is ask the package manager where things are [02:38] i never have figured out the reason for the 'dots' on the lightdm wallpaper [02:39] majornick: dpkg -l lists installed packages (dpkg -l | grep -i konversation) [02:39] majornick: dpkg -L konversation would list where that package's files are [02:39] Dr_Willis: see that is what i was talking about. you know that by heart. i ned to obviously get familiar with where file slike this reside in general [02:39] majornick: just explore the filesystem [02:39] for the graphing aficionados to feel at home. ;) [02:39] I'm trying to make Xubuntu 13.04 faster. Any advice? [02:39] palos: more ram [02:39] more power captain [02:40] palos: moar ram.. :) or switch to lubuntu. [02:40] if there were really simple ways to make it much faster, I'm sure the Xubuntu guys would've already implemented them [02:41] reisio: so -l is list and -i is "information" about that package file sytem list of files? [02:41] reisio: You're right... [02:41] sudo apt-get install moar-ram ;P [02:41] you can build Xfce without GNOME support, but that'd be a lot of work, and the moment you installed anything else it'd be blown away [02:41] majornick: no, for dpkg, -l is list installed packages, and -L foo is list files installed by package foo (run 'man dpkg') [02:41] Dr_Willis: Thanks... [02:41] -i is ignore case [02:41] -L foo got it [02:41] majornick: | grep -i foo means pass the output to the 'grep' command, and case-insensitively (-i) search for the string 'foo' [02:42] probably isn't necessary for dpkg -l's output, but it frequently is necessary, and causes no harm :) [02:42] man i gotta get this CBT nugget comp tia training vids for Linux + and stop being so lazy :( [02:43] ps [02:44] Hello guys, I got a problem using vncveiwer remote desktop.

Ubuntu has changed my life recently for the better. If it wasnt for ther core group of sould here on this IRC this would not be happening to me. thanks guys .. really... [02:47] hello, all. I am running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and would like to install jetty 8. I enabled the backports but jetty 8 doesn't seem to present there. How do I install jetty 8? It only seems to be available starting Quantal's repo( https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jetty8 ). WOuld not like to upgrade since I want to stay with LTS. === jack is now known as Guest50534 [02:47] majornick, heh, I learned what I know while studying several other fields in college, just having to get my first computer and it happened to have ubuntu 6.0, mine is all armchair obsession.

I am here for the long haul. good to meet you guys and thanks for being so patient and helpful [02:51] HELP!!! i accidentally my hard drive after installing ubuntu!!! [02:51] wilee-nilee, yeah ok i'd rather use a ubuntu package [02:51] i do that to my hard drive all the time [02:51] basix, Cool, not an area I'm familiar with. [02:52] cac: pardon?

[03:14] elementary-site2, xubuntu or lubuntu is my recommendation [03:15] cfhowlett: I'm after partition sizing recommendations rather than variant recommendations. Sorry if I didn't make that clear. [03:15] elementary-site2, stock ubuntu filesystem takes about 6 gigs ... [03:16] elementary-site2, ext4 and a swap if you think you needs one [03:16] may be n room for a swap it seems [03:16] no* === HMM is now known as Guest79511 [03:16] I moved a website from freebsd to ubuntu. I am having issues with some config due to a reference to /usr/home/foo... when ubunutu only has /home/foo. [03:16] How can find those references on the command line? [03:16] or should I just do a ln.? [03:18] This is not going to be the only site... and I don't know if I want to spend hours and hours fixing those paths. However, ln seems like a bad cheat that isn't a good long term migration solution. [03:18] comments? [03:20] hello all [03:21] 'lo MasterChef [03:21] MasterChef, How are rouge you [03:21] are [03:21] digs: ln might work [03:21] digs: and if it works you can use lsof and figure out what you might want to change to not have it [03:21] !sound | grep alxndr [03:21] grep alxndr: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

[03:23] it's 'Chief' but nick is too long :-< [03:23] 'lo MasterChief in perfect world [03:23] reisio - thank you for the comment. [03:23] cfhowlett: (I'm a complete noob to Linux in general) so should I have a single partition of the full ~7.2gb or whatever free space is available? Do i need to specify anything for a swapfile or seperate the boot from the general filesystem etc? [03:24] Is there a way to disable/eradicate cram-md5 authenticate and enable plaintext authenticateion for uw-imap ? I don't have access to plaintext passwords for the config file so I absolutely can not utilize cram-md5... yet it seems mandatory without a recompile? [03:24] elementary-site2, use the whole stick, follow the [03:24] man i slept for 4 hours after working on the 'phone'.... i was tweeking [03:24] haha [03:25] digs: also egrep -ilr '\/usr.*?home' / (will take ages) [03:25] elementary-site2, try without swap for now. If it runs superslow, you might consider adding swap on, but it IS a stick so ... [03:28] cfhowlett: ok cool. Do I need to set a partition for /boot? [03:28] Elem [03:29] elementary-site2, nope. install process will handle it for your [03:29] *you* [03:29] what'd you settle on, one big partition? [03:29] elementary-site2, What is the OS on the computer? [03:30] cfhowlett: Ok, thanks [03:30] reisio: following cfhowlett's advise, yes [03:30] elementary-site2, best of luck [03:30] elementary-site2: what fs? :) [03:31] did a fresh install of ubuntu 13.04. Struggling to install a driver for wireless. My wireless hardware is BCM 4311. [03:31] elementary-site2: mkfs.ext4 -O ^has_journal might give you a performance boost (over plain ext4) [03:31] wilee-nilee: I have Windows 7 on this laptop. However I'm currently running a Live CD of Elementary and about to make a full install onto the pendrive [03:32] reisio: 8GB [03:32] reisio, you are very kind :/ [03:32] 8gb* [03:32] fs type I meant :) [03:32] MasterChef: :) [03:32] Sach, get a hardline connection, run your additional drivers script and it should automagically install === airtonix_ is now known as airtonix [03:33] reisio: my bad. ext4. [03:33] elementary-site2, Cool, make sure you have a windows install or recovery disc, onec in a graet while people get the grub bootloader put into the MBR of the computer. [03:33] elementary-site2: mkfs.ext4 -O ^has_journal might give you a performance boost (over plain ext4) [03:33] cfhowlett: sorry, can you break that down for me please? what is a hardline connection? And how do I run my additional drivers script? [03:34] Sach, wired connection? not wifi. then see settings>additional drivers [03:34] elementary-site2, Will not happen with a manul install and grub pointed correctly, but you want to be prepared is all. [03:34] hunting down my issue on my distro's forums [03:34] brb [03:35] cfhowlett: additional drivers is not listed under settings. However, I remember that it used to be there in previous ubuntu versions... [03:36] reisio: ill check it out, thanks! [03:36] wilee-nilee: i [03:37] *i'm hoping I get it right :p [03:37] you better get it right, or the world will end [03:37] likely you will, just having the right tools makes life easier [03:38] * wilee-nilee ducks and covers [03:38] Sach, sorry. I'm on xubuntu so my setup is different. but if you plug your computer into your wifi router, you'll get a hardline connection. then run the additional drivers utility [03:39] ok, I'm on a hardline connection right now. But how to I run the additional drivers utility? === shang_ is now known as shang [03:39] Sach, Have you run a update? [03:39] Sach, as I said, I don't run ubuntu, so I can't specifically guide you to the right place. perhaps use dash to search for "additional drivers"? [03:40] Sach, You can get to it via the software center-edit [03:40] morning to all [03:41] top oh the mornin [03:41] :p [03:41] I think the unity ui makes things more complex, personally. [03:41] revolver14: what do you think impersonally? [03:41] lol [03:41] is the bootloader installed on /dev/sda or /dev/sda1 (ie the partition)? [03:41] Try LXDE. [03:42] wilee-nilee: I am in 'Additional Drivers', but do not see my wireless hardware (BCM 4311) listed. Why might this be? [03:42] elementary-site2: for keeping Windows on the hard disk? [03:42] elementary-site2, sdx or A be sure that is the mbr of the usb run sudo fdisk -l to check [03:42] !b43 | Sach [03:42] Sach: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [03:42] elementary-site2: you'll probably want to put the boot loader on the usb device, and use your bios boot menu to boot to it, or Windows' boot menu [03:44] Sorry, it's not sda. It's sdc. I think I gave everybody a heart attack (including myself) when i read over that, haha [03:44] elementary-site2, I was ready to hde under my oak desk. ;) [03:44] hahahah [03:44] did you use hde on purpose? 'cause that's awesome [03:45] just me and my tinfoil fez [03:45] as in /dev/hda, /dev/hdb, … /dev/hde [03:45] puntastic [03:46] Sach, you'd better download it from the manufacturer's website. [03:46] the cats outside everyman for themselves. ;) [03:46] So, should the bootloader be in /dev/sdc or /dev/sdc1? [03:46] elementary-site2, sdc [03:46] elementary-site2: of sdc is the right device :) [03:46] s/of/if [03:46] sofif [03:47] what's the advantage of using the chris-lea ppa?

See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [03:47] free dinks [03:47] drinks* [03:47] elementary-site2: it's normal for the boot loader to be installed to the beginning of a device and not a partition, but when you're dual booting with a _single_ drive (as opposed to two or more, as you are), you sometimes want to install it to a partition instead [03:47] i'm in a new project and it seems to use it a lot [03:48] dyu: sure chris lea isn't a coworker? [03:49] pretty sure he isn't ;-) seems to be a somewhat popular ppa [03:49] any way i could see syslog errors in a unity indicator somehow? [03:49] seems to have a lot of web-related stuff in it [03:50] I'm guessing someone had some reason [03:50] like some support in some app that they wanted was missing [03:50] probably for something new and fancy [03:50] reisio: so it should be placed in the partition? the main issue that has me concerned is that i only have the single partition with all of the available storage space dedicated to it, so i'm not exactly sure where it'd go if i was to select /sdc [03:50] elementary-site2: the device, sdX not sdX# [03:50] elementary-site2: don't worry about that, your partition application left space [03:51] if you installed to a partition it wouldn't actually be put into the filesystem of that partition, either [03:51] but right before the partition itself [03:53] One american, one french and one bulgarian were riding in a train in Indonesia. As they were talkin', [03:53] a fine lady walks in. So, the bulgarian, being the gentleman he is offered her a seat next to him. But she [03:53] chose to sit between the French and The American. They involved her in the conversation and she was moved [03:53] A LOT by the kind words by the gentlemen around them. So, all of a sudden, she rips one out loud. The [03:53] American being the gentleman he is said: 'scuse me! They kept talking without paing much attention to [03:53] MasterChef: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:53] what just happend.

[04:00] reisio: yeah, i'm under the impression that it's for the shiny. thanks! :D [04:00] hmm never considered this method before but looking at wubi for older laptop i have [04:02] Greetings, anyone here know if there is a list of phased updates that failed, and were cancelled?

[04:12] Does anyone here have experience with installing the BCM4311 wireless driver? [04:12] Sach_, I've done it.. [04:13] cfhowlett: I've been trying to hours now, no luck :( [04:13] Sach_, I used the No Internet Connection method and had it up and running after 2 minutes of terminal commands. [04:13] Sach_, ubuntu version? [04:13] cfhoelett: I just upgraded to 13.04 [04:14] cfhowlett: I've tried the no internet connection method too, but no luck. [04:14] Sach_, ow. not cool. [04:15] cfhowlett: I've also visited 'Additional Drivers' and Broadcom is not even listed there... === sorin is now known as Guest58377 [04:15] cfhowlett: but it was under 12.03 from whcih I upgraded! [04:15] Sach_, that means ubuntu didn't detect it right. Final option: go to broadcom, download the driver and compile it yourself [04:16] How do I change rooms in this IRC? [04:16] Ubnoobtu, /join #channel [04:16] yo, Wilee, What's up [04:16] cfhowlett: wow. seems like I might have to, but I'm not very good with that stuff.. [04:17] just my blood pressure. ;) [04:17] heh not really [04:17] Sach_, no better way or time to learn. Pain in the neck, but ... you'll officially become an ubuntu guru! [04:18] wilee-nilee, Myself and others are noticing problems since the phased-upgrades, see here for example: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1209442 [04:18] Launchpad bug 1209442 in Unity "compiz crashed with SIGSEGV in getCompPluginVTable20090315_unityshell()" [High,Triaged] [04:18] cfhowlett: oh dear. I don't even know how to install a tar.gz file :s [04:18] Okay, does anyone know what the best channel to go to would be to learn more about being anonymous and secure. [04:18] Sach_, there is a "ReadMe" with the download [04:19] Sach_, http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php [04:20] cfhowlett: actually, there's no readme. But there is a "Makefile (text/x-makefile)" [04:20] Sach_, I beg to differ http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README.txt === yCrazyEdd is now known as CrazyEddy [04:21] cfhowlett: strange, I don't see that in my download. [04:21] Sach_, you have to get the driver and the README.txt. It's on the download page. [04:22] user_, have you seen this, we have not seen this in general on this channel. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/04/how-to-reset-unity-compiz-in-ubuntu-12-10-and-13-04 [04:23] cfhowlett: thanks, I'll try my luck ;-) [04:23] user_, You using any PPA's? [04:24] Hello there. I have some problem in my CD ROM. While reading its contents it often shuts down automatically after about 15-20 minutes. Now i have downloaded ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS ISO and successfully wrote it on DVD on another computer. Now my question is that does ubunut 12.04.3 supports RAM boot, in which initially all the contents of DVD are copied on to RAM and then installation can begin... [04:24] ...from RAM? [04:24] DotCom123, why not use USB? [04:24] cfhowlett: My PC don't supports it. [04:24] It's old :/ [04:25] I have seen this option of RAM booting in Gparted and Backtrack. [04:25] DotCom123, if it's that old, you might be better off with xubuntu/lubuntu which will fit on a CD so ... no dvd [04:25] user_, I also notice mention of the closed source drivers in the bug report so we have some possible variables to contend with, so details will go a long way. [04:26] I have seen the same stuff in SUSE and Slackware, but this is different man, all 'bout the QT, now [04:27] run lspci [04:27] cfhowlett: That is my main problem. My CD/DVD player don't last longer than 15-20 minutes. Are you sure that the full installation of xubuntu/lubuntu completes within this time limit? [04:27] lsusb [04:27] in my case was the RALink making problems === xmetal_AFK is now known as xmetal [04:27] DotCom123, less to install so ... yeah? [04:28] chipset [04:28] change the source [04:28] make [04:28] compile [04:28] reboot [04:28] ok [04:28] should get some lights on [04:28] user_, Whoa I would not touch that phased upgrades with a 100 ft pole, I had not even known they were doing that. [04:28] well there goes my wubi idea [04:29] lol [04:29] lol, QoS is kinda hard to get working uh? [04:29] * cfhowlett ... wishes wubi would just die already. [04:30] I gotta guy thats will takes care of that a cleanup man [04:30] wilee-nilee, What should I do to tighten up my security ? [04:31] Ubnoobtu, not sure not an area I have really worried about. [04:31] run a md5 on the matrix set array in the healthy disk space [04:31] !security [04:31] Security Updates are dealt with here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Security - See also !root, !firewall and !server [04:31] Ubnoobtu, ^^^^^^^^ [04:32] wilee-nilee, thanks man. Does this help with virus? [04:33] !virus|Ubnoobtu, [04:33] Ubnoobtu,: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [04:34] how does Ubuntu connect to the internet differently than windows? [04:34] Ubnoobtu: it doesn't [04:34] Ubnoobtu, ??? what are you talking about? [04:35] socially acceptable rhetoric, man [04:35] aeon-ltd, cfhowlett, I'm just thinking how does linux avoid getting viruses, beside being coded differently. Is there something more? [04:36] Ubnoobtu, it's different, yes. [04:37] (I;m trying to observe and learn, but I want to kick my own ass, and dig for knowlegde, where do I begin???? [04:38] wilee-nilee, Yeah I tried resetting unity, reinstalling unity, even gnome and fluxbox were having weird graphics glitches. I wonder if there is any list of which phased updates were cancelled, not installed for all users? [04:38] Ubnoobtu: being a smaller target, default separation of users and superusers on most distros, wide variation of software (i.e. too many distros are different), [04:39] : 1.) The reason for GNU/Linux (and BSD) systems being FAR less susceptible (but not IMMUNE) to malware has been hotly disputed for some time [04:39] cool [04:40] * Ubnoobtu nods slowly. [04:41] I'm learning about GNU now, atleast the history. [04:41] I want to start learning how to navigate linux. [04:41] aeon-ltd: " default separation of users and superusers on most distros": how much, if at all, that actually accounts is subject to dispute [04:42] ah heck i am throwing in the towel for no for getting linux on that old laptop [04:43] what's wrong with the wubi, again? [04:43] hahah [04:43] MasterChef, wubi is for testing. It is NOT a long-term installation solution. [04:43] urandom_: yeah, i suppose it only seems that it's effective at all in comparison to win is because a large majority of xp users defaulted to one admin account only and vista users turned of uac [04:43] hmm === jamescarr_ is now known as jamescarr [04:44] ubottu: "Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux" [04:44] *off [04:44] overstatement [04:45] until now, there have been almost-to-none viruses in the wild but that could change [04:45] user_, here is the developers blog. http://www.murraytwins.com/blog/?p=127 Are you certain that this type of upgrade is at fault here, these are stable releases that would run normally to everyone. here is more info. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/08/phased-updates-to-start-rolling-out-for-ubuntu-13-04?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+d0od+%28OMG!+Ubuntu!%29 [04:45] wubi I beg to differ [04:45] aeon-ltd: yes, that's just what I was thinking [04:46] I want to learn how to be anonymous on the internet. my concerns with the NSA and others has piqued my interest in learning the dynamics of this world and community. [04:46] Ubnoobtu: https://torproject.org https://tails.boum.org [04:46] I heard the NSa took it down [04:47] what does urandom, do anyway? [04:47] "urandom" is pseudo-random data stream [04:47] aren't they all :/ [04:48] thx [04:48] I use it to overwrite a drive or volume that I intend to encrypt [04:48] /dev/urandom [04:49] /dev/zero is MUCH faster and should be just as effective for wiping data but when you intend to encrypt, [04:49] uh, this is something I'm assumed, but do I download the x64 bit, or the regular gnu/linux? I'm really a scrub here. [04:49] it is recommened to use /dev/urandom [04:49] Ubnoobtu: depends on your HW [04:50] * Ubnoobtu listens [04:50] in order to use x64, your CPU has to support 64-bit [04:50] I assume your computer came with Windows? [04:51] windows can see Linux machines? [04:52] MasterChef: samba?

[05:11] why is that? [05:11] trindaz: sudo ./myscript.sh [05:12] . is a builtin, that is it's not a copmmand, it's parsed specially by the shell [05:12] use: sh name.sh [05:12] and therefore cannot be used with sudo [05:12] ui_ sudo ./myscript.sh fails with same error message [05:13] Also, . myscript.sh will work if myscript.sh was written for the same shell you're using now [05:13] why would it disappear just because i'm using sudo [05:13] i must not understand what sudo does [05:13] trindaz: do not put a space after the . [05:13] i thought it was identical to logging in as root and running something [05:13] i didn't put a space after it [05:13] copy pasted straight from my terminal: sudo ./sync_production_projects.sh [05:14] Intel Corporation (INTC) $22.44 [05:14] chmod +x ./myscript.sh [05:14] so if . is not in .bashrc, where is it defined? how is it different to using sh?

The dot will be parsed directly by your shell (it's not looked into the $PATH) and will load all the function definitions in your current shell [05:17] Now, if myscript was written for the language of your current shell, OR you want to directly use in the shell the function defined in the script, the dot should be fine. [05:17] Otherwise, if your script was written in the language of another shell, avoid the dot and just do ./myscript or sudo ./myscript [05:17] You can check by looking at the first line (head myscript) [05:17] ui_: Re: "uname -p": Interesting, in both Tails as well as Kanotix (both Debian-based) I get "unknown".

I'm using` /home/app/myscript.sh 2>&1 > /mnt/logs/log.log` but the log file doesn't get created, even though I can see in syslog that the job was definitely run [05:26] Using TTY can log the user [05:26] urandom_, then stop being so sensitive [05:26] but not in the graphic mode [05:26] and need to restore my backups [05:26] guest have no permission for nothing [05:27] trindaz: do ''/home/app/myscript.sh > /mnt/logs/log.log 2>&1 '' because redirection is performed in textual order [05:28] with the double quotes? [05:28] How do you make an ".sh" file execute without using the terminal? IE, double click? [05:28] no do not mind the double quotes [05:28] I mean the redirection [05:29] 2>&1 > log.log will first redirect stderr to stdout, which is the terminal, then redirect stdout to the logfile [05:29] Nothing_Much: ...right click, properities. or simply: chmod +x file.sh [05:29] No I mean [05:29] It opens with gedit [05:29] if you want to redirect both, you first red. stdout to the file, then red. stderr to stdout which is the file [05:29] And I want to completely avoid the terminal at all costs === Yaberwocky is now known as DarkAlice [05:29] trindaz: I assumed that you want to redirect both to file, but if I was wrong, please ignore me [05:30] aeon-limited and Ubnoobtu: ui_ told me about command "lscpu", much shorter, clearer output for seeing whether 32- or 64-bit [05:30] "both"?

[05:31] Nothing_Much: make it executable? [05:32] Nothing_Much: does the script begin with this line? #! /bin/bash [05:32] No no, it's already executable [05:32] Nothing_Much: also called hashbang or sheban [05:32] Yes [05:32] shebang* [05:32] It has that in the script [05:32] But I can't install it [05:32] guys what is the differrent about linux discdistributions? why there is not just a distribution ?

[05:35] if i run as user 'ubuntu' it works great. If I run as 'sudo' I get errors related to virtualenvwrapper not working, which I expected, however I wanted to confirm that I get those same errors when run with cron (to check that it's a user issue that's causing it to not work when run with cron, as opposed to some other error that I'm not aware of yet) [05:35] magdur: Sorry, I don't understand what you asked [05:35] what is the best ftp program for ubuntu?

[05:36] FileZilla [05:36] qin, What? I was able to successfully do so some time ago.. [05:36] xmetal, so you are suggesting the filezilla ftp server for linux and it supports virtual users? [05:36] tempted to try installing cellery just to get this scheduled job working, feels like cheating though [05:36] I was using the teamspeak .sh thing [05:36] It worked flawlessly [05:37] magdur: Yes, there are many different packages that one has the option of adding to Ubuntu [05:37] If you're saying that it's impossible, then that's ludicrous because this just HAS to cater to users who don't want to use the terminal at all.. [05:37] It just loops to first screeen [05:37] hey [05:37] The current FZ Server code cannot be ported to *NIX. Too much Windows dependencies in there. To make it multi-platform, a complete rewrite is required (as already happened with the client). Unfortunately, the development focus is almost entirely on the client right now. [05:37] but different distros still offer, in many cases at least, considerably different experiences [05:37] so filezilla is out of the picture [05:37] any other ideas? [05:38] I'm really trying to get my parents hooked on Ubuntu. I'm using 12.04 64 bit on a hp all in one. But, they love faremville two. and the animation is slow in firefox chromium and chrome.

[05:40] magdur: I would think /most/ pkges in Mint and BackTrack (now KaliLinux, BTW) would be available for Ubuntu but I'm not sure that /all/ are [05:40] chris310: use a different DE, unity depends on the effects. i don't think unity 2d exists anymore [05:40] Flynn__: you can check the plugins at chrome://plugins/ in chrome [05:40] magdur: someone more knowledgable could tel you for sure [05:41] chris310: I just switched to xubuntu in order to get rid of desktop effects [05:41] Nothing_Much: http://askubuntu.com/questions/138908/how-to-execute-a-script-just-by-double-clicking-like-exe-files-in-windows [05:41] what driver do i download [05:41] you know its hard to find good documentation on setting up virtual users with their own home folders and applying permissions without gui [05:42] Is there an easy way of switching to that? or do i have to start a fresh install?

I can't login with main user, it loops to login window. User and password are correct, but it loops. Any idea how fix this using TTY or loged in guest? [05:52] DarkAlice: do you see any errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log? [05:52] ChogyDan: the bcw4311 one [05:53] tabbytabtab: which directions are you following? Which step is confusing? [05:53] tabbytabtab: and what version of ubuntu? [05:53] mmm how can I acces that report? [05:53] I still don't get how to check version in chrome.

Only looked at /etc/init.d/ ^^ [05:59] v1c3: I think that's where the old style files live, take care :) [05:59] ChogyDan: where is defined which user starts a service? [05:59] Flynn__: if you check about:plugins, and you have 11.8, I think you are good [06:00] I have 11.8 [06:00] v1c3: in the file, right?

[06:01] ChogyDan: aaaaah now I see it [06:01] v1c3: I only have a little experience, I just know it is event driven. Don't know about the user part [06:02] sepero, flashplugin-installer is installed. [06:02] Flynn__: right. i thought you wanted to upgrade it [06:02] Flynn__: you actually don't want that package, it has 11.2 I think [06:03] ChogyDan: Its in there and I can change it. Only have experience with OpenRC and systemd. [06:03] sepero, I think my version is latest [06:04] tabbytabtab: I guess you could follow the STA no internet access [06:05] ChogyDan: Have to rename default user of raspberryy pi. and now a few things are fucked up :) Thank you very much! [06:05] Flynn__: upgrading that package will give you the latest from the repositories. If upgrading in doesn't give you the latest flashplayer from adobe, then you should follow You may ChogyDan's advice [06:05] ChogyDan i have the driver orig.tar.gz on my laptop but i dont understand how to install [06:06] tabbytabtab: why can't you just plug in your ethernet cable, just so you can use the gui? I mean, it would be easier [06:06] I'm not really sure what ChogyDan's advice was. [06:07] ChogyDan: ok. brb. im going to lose conection [06:08] Flynn__: google-chrome has the latest flash built in. As for advice, maybe use a different DE than unity. Other than that, i think flash is just slower on linux [06:08] Isn't there an open source flash player? Maybe that would be better. Can it be installed to chrome.? [06:08] ChogyDan, DE? [06:08] Flynn__: Well other than the repositories, you could get it directly from Adobe, or a ppa. I wouldn't recommend downloading directly from adobe though, cause that could lead to more complicated things [06:09] sepero: the only way to get the latest flash is through chrome. It's a thing [06:09] Adobe does not support linux. [06:09] Flynn__: the open source flash player is called gnash [06:10] sepero, would that be better? [06:10] sepero: Does gnash offer comparable performance? [06:10] Flynn__: there are gnash and shumway, but I do not think they have better performance [06:10] Ok. [06:10] Flynn__: urandom_: I don't currently use gnash, so I'm not sure [06:11] ChogyDan, what is DE? [06:11] I've always hated Flash and, for the most part, avoid it like the plague [06:12] Thwe only thing the average person does on the internet anymore involves flash. [06:12] urandom_: probably a good call ;) [06:12] Flynn__: desktop environment. I meant, use something other than unity/ubuntu.

So I installed kernel 3.4..... instead and removed the original kernel that was copied from the OpenVZ container , now ipta [06:23] quite honestly, proftpd is the best one ive used. but it doesnt want to work at all in ubuntu 12. it allowed me to setup home directories all over my filesystem.

[06:54] with unity you would have had to type 3 characters most to find it ;P [06:55] heh. well. I wouldn't have found it even if I found it. :þ [06:55] stobix, "update-manager" [06:55] yes you would [06:55] ezra-s: hm. Is it possible it isn't installed for me? [06:56] so much hate for unity, but it is faster than menu's or having to guess what binaries are called like [06:56] Does anyone know how to enable iptables module for the kernel at boot time? [06:56] huh, seems so... [06:56] * stobix installs update-manager [06:56] no wonder it couldn't be found... [06:56] Hi! I'm getting an error, "Agent admitted failure to sign using the key.", when logging into ssh servers using an identity file. The logs says "gnome-keyring-daemon: invalid or unrecognized private SSH key: helge@helge". Anyone got an idea what's wrong? [06:56] stobix, seeing how you don't know how to use unity dash, and you probably don't know what you installed, yes, it's possible :P [06:56] USB is always a tease for me [06:57] * ezra-s judging finger points to stobix, hehhee [06:57] always gotta resort to the good ol' CDR [06:57] ezra-s: when unity lets me do all the stuff that XMonad lets me do, I'll maybe consider taking a second look at it. [06:57] stobix, yes yes, but you're stuck trying to find the simple update-manager [06:57] USB installation boot that is... [06:57] * xmetal shrugs ... unity is really the only DE i dont care for [06:58] stobix, don't get mad at me though, I'm just picking on you, without malice [06:58] sepero, may i pm you? [06:58] ezra-s: guessed as much. [06:58] ezra-s: if you run emacs as well, we can really have an all-out war... ;) [06:58] stobix: what does xmonad do that you can't do with Unity? [06:59] stobix, nah, you can shoot me, but never passed more than 5 seconds with emacs, kind of like you have done with unity :P [06:59] * ezra-s looks for all about "XMonad", Im intrigued. [07:00] ohh, another tiling wm [07:00] gordonjcp: on several screens, the desktops are taken from ONE pool (configurable), not one per screen. This is what got me to switch (from openbox). Also, the config file is a haskell module. I can basically just write my own functions to change the window manager in exactly the way I want. A while ago I wrote ~72 keyboard shortcuts in one using a list comprehension. [07:00] i have to try one sooner or later, it's just another style to get used to [07:00] * stobix uses vim [07:00] AcidRain2012: sure [07:01] stobix, I use vim too when on console [07:01] stobix: see, that's exactly why I couldn't get into xmonad [07:01] anyhow, back to work. Thanks ezra-s. I'll continue to play with you in ~4-8 hours... [07:02] stobix: I don't have time to do a degree in Comp Sci so I can learn Haskell so I can make it not have tiny pixelly grey-on-grey fonts [07:02] stobix, lol, have fun, don't work too hard ;) [07:02] gordonjcp: I already did that. :þ [07:02] ezra-s: thanks [07:02] btw, learning 72 shortcuts to handle a WM is not practical!!! [07:03] LMAO agree === linuxlite1969 is now known as convoi [07:03] stobix: for me, time spent fannying about writing pages of haskell to make a DE usable is time wasted [07:04] ezra-s: each of wasd+win+each of all permutations of ctrl+alt+shift+none (Maybe not exactly 72, but meh.) [07:04] stobix: I use unity because it works and that's what it comes with out of the box [07:04] gordonjcp: you have fun with that. Unity doesn't work IMO, and never will. [07:04] hi [07:04] * stobix runs off to desktop 3 and starts working [07:04] stobix: "doesn't work" in what way? [07:05] Hi [07:05] hello. no matter how i try to create a bootable usb, when i boot from it and choose 'check disk' it finds a file with a different md5sum. the iso image is not corrupted (i checked the md5sum) [07:05] stobix, in unity all you really need to learn is how to switch desktop to desktop, dash key, ALT, a maybe 2 or 3 more... but I understand some may prefer tiling [07:05] stobix: I *used to* use multiple desktops, but now I can afford a large monitor, over 1000 pixels wide! [07:05] you're doing it wrong then Burg [07:05] comparing unity vs titling is futile, they are totally different styles [07:05] Hi [07:05] hu [07:05] ezra-s: yeah [07:06] is like comparing X with console [07:06] need help [07:06] hu [07:06] ezra-s: tiling is horrible, why do people want to use an environment that looks like the 1980s?

I'm in a little pinch and need some help. [09:58] Artog: !ask [09:58] !ask | Artog [09:58] Artog: 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 [09:59] !patience [09:59] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ [09:59] !patience | Artog [09:59] Artog: please see above === rakesh_ is now known as Guest73027 [09:59] Is it possible to set up Ubuntu so users can use the mount and umount commands without sudo? [10:00] Right, Something on my server is eating memory, but nothing is showing in neighr top nor pas aux [10:00] ps aux* [10:00] Artog: how do you know something is eating memory [10:00] Artog: how do you know memory is eaten if it isn't showing up [10:01] hi guys, ive installed arm-linux-gnueabi gcc but i cant find c++ in the include folder, why is that? [10:01] bite marks in the RAM [10:01] "free -m" is listing free memory as 9 mb free [10:01] Does anybody know if I can install the elementaryOS music app (noise) in ubuntu? I really like the polish and te sorting via albums... [10:01] norbi: I think you need arm-linux-gnueabi g++ as well [10:01] gcc only does C [10:02] norbi there's also #ubuntu-arm [10:02] lenzeor: elementary OS has a debian PPA you can add, which allows you to install any elementary software. [10:02] Artog, how much mem do you see in "cached" when you do free -m ? [10:03] loads under free [10:03] so its some cache issue? [10:03] Artog, can you answer my question? [10:03] handuel: thanks [10:03] Thanks a lot, handuel. Do you have any links? [10:03] MonkeyDust: thank you [10:04] Can i paste the out put here ? [10:04] lenzeor: looking for one now [10:04] or is that spamming :) [10:04] Artog, you can use a pastebin if there are more than 1 lines [10:05] Got it [10:05] It's ppa:elementary-os/daily, handuel... [10:05] Let's see if it works [10:05] http://pastebin.com/EWm3LkuN [10:05] lenzeor: gd gd, sos I kept on finding the bzr repo instead [10:06] Artog, in any case when you have used your system for a while and it is not recently booted up Linux caches mem for fast access, Linux handles memory usage very well for speed, so unless you see some programs being killed due to all mem really used and swap being totally consumed, you don't need to worry [10:06] Is it possible to set up Ubuntu so users can use the mount and umount commands without sudo? [10:06] aneesh [10:07] Artog, that shows as no mem is being used at all, all is cached [10:07] only 37MB used? whats going on there [10:07] you probably ran an application that used some of it, and linux has cached it all in case you reopen it [10:08] Artog, you don't have any issues with memory usage [10:08] I'm looking at using Bumblebee on 12.04 for a client, is there much maintenance involved? I mean does it look after itself? [10:08] I see, i use the server for a java-app. The app sometimes starts a subprocess. That subprocess can allocate memory and fails [10:09] Artog, why does it fail? how much memory is assigned to that process? [10:09] use pastebin for the output, although we're in offtopic already probably [10:09] i run the VM with 1024mb atm [10:09] it should fit in the total mem you have === yan is now known as a0726h77 [10:10] even with 2048 i get "java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "ffmpeg": java.io.IOException: error=12, Cannot allocate memory" [10:11] there you also see the subprocess its trying to run [10:11] Artog: looks like you've got a bug in whatever you're running on there [10:11] Maybe its just java that is the problem and the question should be asked elsewhere [10:12] can i clear the cache? [10:13] Artog, try assigning it 512 MB instead, use lower values [10:13] Artog, not that I know off, but you don't need to either, if it's cached most of it is available for use [10:13] Hello? [10:13] Artog, also try running it with root to see if it's a priviledge problem instead [10:15] Artog, I will bet your right hand it is not an issue with Linux memory handling, so forget that === a0726h77 is now known as yan__ [10:15] I will try, some parts of the program takes some time. So i'll have to wait a bit until ill know [10:15] I'm 99,999999999999999999% sure [10:15] Ok, then I know. Thank you very much for the help :) [10:16] Linux handles memory very very very nicely [10:16] nicely! [10:16] nice :P [10:16] Artog, also, if you want more detailed info about usage, do "cat /proc/meminfo" [10:17] SwashBuckla, true, my bad [10:17] very very very very super hyper nice [10:17] :P [10:17] Thanks [10:17] * SwashBuckla renices ezra-s to lowest priority [10:18] ezra-s: no you were correct with the "nicely" [10:18] when trying to remove a snapshot, I get an error message like this : Unable to deactivate open station-home-real (252:10) [10:18] Artog, a good indicator when memory is heavily used is when swap reaches it's peak, but if you see swap hardly touched... then there's surely not enough use [10:18] ezra-s: I was picking up on a joke [10:18] I should have thought of that ;) [10:19] SwashBuckla, ohh, english is not my first language so I'm deemed to fail in grammar once in a while, I thought you were right, didn't catch the joke, hehehe [10:20] Seems to be working now, though i really havn't done anything ^_^ [10:20] I'm new to the IRC but would like to ask for help to what I feel is a simple issue that I simply can't find a solution to [10:20] Would this be the place to ask? [10:20] So, im off and thanks again :) [10:20] Artog, hehehe [10:20] * Artog waves [10:20] hello, i have installed ubuntu 13 now and my browsers (chromium and firfeox) cannot loads css/images file from "com" domains, does anyone know why? i am from czech republic using english localization and prague timezone === andrex is now known as andrex|off === sepero_ is now known as sepero [10:22] MrS1lentcz: is it every .com or just a few ?

[10:24] ikonia: amazon, ebay not... [10:24] MrS1lentcz: not what ? [10:24] Hi guys, maybe someone can help me on that question? http://askubuntu.com/questions/337200/iphone-6-1-manager-for-ubuntu-unsupported-checksume [10:24] MrS1lentcz: not broken, not working, [10:24] ikonia: browser is reporting, css files is pending and there is failed status [10:24] vice_: iphone / linux = unworkable solution [10:24] MrS1lentcz can you take a screen shot of one of the failing sites please. [10:24] MrS1lentcz, is .org .net etc ok? [10:25] ikonia a u completely sure? is it really impossible to sync?

[10:27] X-User: ikonia i have to go to lanch, i will write a 1 hour late, ok? :( [10:27] *later [10:27] MrS1lentcz: what's the point of asking for help to then leave ?

[10:37] hi, is there any pdf plugin for chromium? hate to download pdfs just to see them [10:38] deanrock0: yes there is [10:38] k1l: would you please share the name:) [10:39] or you can use google's chrome, it by default can view pdf [10:39] deanrock0: then ask for the name ;p Google Docs Viewer for PDF/PowerPoint [10:43] looks cool and works in most cases ... is there any that isn't tied to google cloud? [10:52] Hi can someone please assist me to install and run icacitrix. [10:52] !find icacitrix [10:52] Package/file icacitrix does not exist in raring [10:53] I am using a 64bit linux [10:54] when I tried installing citrix it exited with an error. === Subo1977_ is now known as Subo1977 [11:00] punzilla, maybe try out OpenXenManager [11:00] hi fellows, is anyone experienced with upgrading evolution mail client to the latest version ? or knows the proper ppa's ? [11:01] !find openxenmanager [11:01] Found: openxenmanager [11:01] ok, I'll try downloading it now. [11:02] I've had no luck with Citrix receiver all night, it's driving me bananas. [11:03] I have a broken icaclient installed, should I try to uninstall it? [11:04] punzilla 80+ people in #citrix [11:08] I have installed it before, but can't remember if I had problems === andrex|off is now known as andrex [11:13] hi [11:13] is it possible to install a Saucy package in Raring? [11:14] g0to, yes but some dependies could go wrong [11:14] labsin, any tip on the procedure to do it? [11:14] anyone using Intel AMT kvm and Ubuntu server 12.04? I [11:15] I'm getting blank screen after boot. [11:15] g0to, easieas is to download it from http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and install it using `dpkg -i ./*.deb` It will see if the dependies can match [11:16] and install the ones needed if available. Else you get a warning and possibly a lot of work [11:16] *Error [11:16] labsin, I already have the Raring version installed. Do you know if I can use the downloaded package to upgrade the package to the Saucy version? [11:17] g0to saucy is not yet ready and stable [11:19] MonkeyDust, I know. But the package has a few bugs on Raring and I think the Saucy version will be better [11:19] Raring is using an alpha version of the program and Saucy a beta. [11:19] g0to, which package actually? It could, it could not. If it's the same name and new version, then yes, it'll upgrade it. [11:20] g0to, I've also had to install some Sausy packages on my Raring machine because Ubuntu doesn't update many packages after release because they don't want to introduce problems. [11:21] labsin, I'm talking about moc. The Music On Console application -> http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=moc&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all === dominus_ is now known as rikut [11:22] g0to, then i'd look for a beta ppa [11:22] Hi [11:22] g0to, it has a lot of dependencies that are updated in sausy [11:24] g0to, like libmodplug1 etc... [11:24] labsin, g0to packages from ppa's and another release then you running are not supported here I hope you know. === andrex is now known as andrex|off [11:24] wilee-nilee, yes. I know [11:24] cool, just making sure === andrex|off is now known as andrex [11:25] wilee-nilee, me too. Thanks for the advice anyway ;) [11:26] what about Lubuntu then? [11:26] I got pinged! [11:27] g0to, you could also just try. And to be completely safe, you could try in a VM. [11:29] Hi there. wpa_supplicant problem (ndiswrapper) here, it say, i might have another process already running, but there is none. Anyone up for the task? :-) [11:29] I got pinged! [11:29] testUbuntu: no bots/scripts in here, please [11:29] hey [11:30] Hello! [11:30] hey [11:31] I got pinged!

[11:33] paltalk [11:33] labsin, no lack of dependencies nor any warning === Guest27877 is now known as Lydia_ [11:33] labsin, now it's time to test the new version [11:33] jrib: i have a remote machine stuck in grub rescue. I can make it boot (i think), but get a blank screen imediately after boot and SSH does not work. The only media available to the machine is a server 12.04 cd in it's optical drive ... [11:33] Hi all. I installed Ubuntu today (my first linux install!) but I'm having some issues with Wine if someone could kindly help. I keep getting the error "create_storagefile Storage share mode not implemented" and I'm not exactly sure how to go about fixing it. [11:34] jrib *ssh does not work after what I think is a boot of the os (which leaves my vnc client with a blank screen) [11:34] jonascj: I see [11:35] I got pinged! === sun is now known as Guest87723 === Guest87723 is now known as sonus [11:38] duoi: not that i'm a wine expert, but when do you get that message? even when you start winecfg? [11:38] I have changed the icons for certain applications be launching nautalus in sudo and going to usr/share/applications and going into the applications prefrences and changing the icon from there, now I can't get it back to default [11:39] Neroon: I get it when opening the browser after installing pipelight. It attempts to install itself or bind to the plugin container at that stage I guess. [11:39] It follows with "err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot" several times and then times out. [11:39] How can I make it so when I change the icon theme from something like unity tweak these icons will change too (I can still change them by going in through this long process [11:42] duoi: so wine itself works with other windows applications or haven't you tried any other yet? [11:43] Neroon: I haven't tried yet. My main intention was to be able to get Silverlight running. [11:44] is silverlight still being maintained? [11:44] sonus, Using a hackneyed approach to this will not garner help from knowledgeable helpers, it takes to much time to find what you have done and trusting you to accurate in it is not likely. [11:44] or is it moonlinght? [11:45] be* [11:45] MonkeyDust: I think the Linux version is moonlight, but don't know if it is still active or not. [11:45] I think I heard that it's not. [11:46] is it possible to use paltalk on ubuntu?

All I can say at this point, when I star ndwiswrapper at the console with wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf, I get the message that it thinks I might have already another process of wpa_supplicant running which isn't the case, regarding to ps [11:54] jonascj, Just a server no X? [11:54] how i transfer files form ssh server to another ssh server [11:54] !nomodeset | jonascj [11:54] jonascj: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [11:55] Marlenee: scp [11:55] wilee-nilee: no x, just a server with what it the text terminal is called. [11:55] Marlenee make sure both openssh-server and openssh-client are installed [11:55] jonascj, Try the nomodeset [11:56] usr13: i have tried the nomodeset... but ill try a few more times [11:56] i have an wired internet connection, & then i create an ad-hoc network that is shared to other computers. What are the processes that are running that automatically assigns ip address to the node that connects to me? [11:56] hello does anyone know a software which changes a scanned pdf of a book to a text pdf ? [11:56] MonkeyDust : how i know if they are openssh-server and openssh-client are installed [11:56] Marlenee: scp Documents/file-name.doc user-name@192.168.x.x [11:56] jonascj, adding it to the kernel? has this ever shown more than a black screen? [11:56] Marlenee apt-cache policy [package name] [11:57] Marlenee: apt-get install openssh-server [11:58] wilee-nilee: from grub rescue I do something like "linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/mapper/vg0-root ro nomodeset" and that still produces a blank screen when I do "initrd /initrd.img" followed finally by "boot" [11:58] hi, I'd like to ask if anyone has had experience running Ubuntu on a specific laptop [11:58] *usr13 [11:58] urandom_, yes I have run ubuntu specifically on a laptop. [11:58] jonascj: Anything at all on the "black screen"? [11:59] Marlenee: When you get that, you'll know that it is installed and running. [12:00] cfhowlett: I meant a specific model laptop, will specify in a moment [12:00] urandom_, details matter. [12:00] When running unity tweak tool what path is changed to make the icons different? [12:00] (I assume this is how this works) [12:00] usr13: nope - but I suspect it is because I'm doing this via vnc. I however have read (like you made the bot suggest) that it is simply a matter of setting the right options in the kernel. Alot of people report ubuntu 10.x working just fine with their Intel AMT VNC while 12.x gives them headaches. And the thing that changes from version to version is how graphics are handled (changes to xorg... [12:00] ...etc.). So I'm still hoping to make it work [12:01] cfhowlett: yes, yes, of course, I was just feeling-out the question, wasn't sure how it would be received [12:01] urandom_, OK this is silly. ASK the frackin' question already and stop teasing! [12:01] :) [12:01] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834101309 Gateway NE51B16u [12:02] sorry [12:05] urandom_: http://www.yumapk.com/how-to-install-ubuntu-13-04-on-gateway-ne51b16u.html [12:07] urandom_: Well, not real fond of those instructions, but it answers your question, "has anyone installed on the Gateway NE51B16u?" [12:07] hmm now I do not even get to my blank screen because the boot is halted by "fsck: error 2 while executing fsck.erros=remount-ro for dev/mapper/vg0-root" [12:08] usr13: yeah, that page is a bit iffy [12:08] urandom_: In other words, I do *not* recommend what it is telling you to do in that article, (just to set the record straight).

[14:11] !info libasound2-plugins [14:11] libasound2-plugins (source: alsa-plugins): ALSA library additional plugins. In component main, is optional. Version 1.0.25-2ubuntu3 (raring), package size 63 kB, installed size 250 kB (Only available for linux-any) [14:12] hello, I got question. Im wondering which signals are sending to all processes during the shutdown on Ubuntu. I know that system is sending signals like SIGTERM and after that SIGKILL, but are there others? Is it possible to s it (for runing application/process) possible to distinguish whether the system shuts down or just reboot ? [14:13] or is there maybe an application that can detect whitch signals are send to process duing shut down/reboot [14:13] runing_froger: i believe it will send a SIGTERM, and then if they don't all close it'll send a SIGKILL [14:14] so i'm not sure what you're asking [14:14] yes I already know that [14:14] but my problem is [14:14] can process know if system, is going to shut down or reboot [14:15] runing_froger: unlikely, and it wouldn't matter anyways [14:16] so where is saved information for machine that system is going to reboot [14:16] probably system need save somewhere this information [14:16] runing_froger: it's not saved anywhere, it's just a different "run level" [14:16] runing_froger there's upstart-monitor, maybe that's what you want "Upstart is an event-based replacement for the /sbin/init daemon which handles starting of tasks and services during boot, stopping them during shutdown and supervising them while the system is running." [14:16] hi [14:16] anyone here? [14:17] runing_froger: when you tell it to shut down, your computer enters run level 0, when it reboots, it enters run level 6. [14:17] messa4, greetings [14:17] :) [14:18] @messa4: a lot of people here [14:19] What is the best "block size" and "bytes per inode" for cheap SSD card? (prom perspective of endurance - not speed) [14:19] for ext4 [14:20] ok so last question im little newbie on irc, how u make highlighted response on my questions? :) [14:20] ssd block is 512kb, but i can choose only 1024, 2048 and 4098 block sizes [bytes]. which one is the best for me? [14:20] runing_froger by putting you nick in front, type two letters and the [tab] to complete [14:21] typos* [14:21] which letters? [14:21] Does google-chrome.deb update itself once installed..? [14:21] runing_froger AaaA [14:21] runing_froger: by starting to type your name and hitting tab. [14:21] runing_froger: ok [14:22] bean: ok thx [14:22] np [14:22] does it work ? [14:22] yes [14:22] thank you very much :) [14:22] messa4: i'd probably just leave it at the default [14:22] I think that this runlevel should resolve my problem aswell [14:22] hi [14:23] anyone knows how i can easy get american radio station hot97 ? [14:23] bean: heh no [14:23] playin in ubuntu? [14:23] maybe an app that works crossing to american ip [14:23] messa4: why? if you make it any bigger you'll have HUGE effective writes. [14:23] thepeopleschamp: you'd need a proxy to america, [14:24] bean: i just want to know which size is better: 1024, 2048 or 4096. [14:24] for ssd [14:25] messa4: so, it won't really help you speed wise, really it depends on the size of your files. [14:25] messa4, best to let the OS or gparted decide [14:26] compdoc: im using fdisk [14:26] try this http://www.hot97.com/StreamHot/index.aspx [14:26] messa4: seriously, if you set very large, your files will use more disk space than they take up [14:26] messa4: best to keep it at the default. [14:27] compdoc: im expert user. I know waht im doing. I just dont know which block size is best for SSD (never used them before). [14:27] i know all penatlies about size, inodes etc. but no about ssd wear-out etc [14:27] * cfhowlett ... biting my cheek quite hard now ... [14:28] .... [14:28] lol [14:28] any ssd expert here? [14:29] Do someone know how to easily install a php debugger. Didn't work with Eclipse. [14:29] messa4: an SSD has a finite number of writes, I doubt /any/ of those options will have an effect on how many writes you can do. [14:30] mefistochen: I would just debug it by adding in print statements, no need for an IDE [14:30] sometimes when i use the wget command i get "403 forbidden"? Is it because of the robots.txt file?? [14:31] hello! I'm having some strange problems with eclipse in ubuntu. Eclipse has been crashing without any warning whatsoever. This happens occationally when the window gets focus, but not all the time. Sometimes when switching from debug to java perspectives, but not all the time. It is fairly infrequent. Not sure whether to post this on #ubuntu or #eclipse, so i'll try both with this same message! [14:31] I want to watch every variable after every step. Sometimes I want to go into a function or something. There's a lot of code. Print-messages after every step? Breakpoints can be easily set and get unactived etc. [14:33] ...but sometimes it isn't infrequent and will happen every 1 minute or so! :D I've checked the log in workspace/.metadata/log but there doesn't seem to be any specific thing that happens when the crashes occur I've also tried upgrading eclipse (from Juno to Kepler) and that doesn't seem to have done anything either the weirdest thing is that there is no error, ubuntu doesn't even seem to notice it has even closed! It just.. [14:33] .closes...gone.... i'm really not sure how to begin debugging this, all my googling has come across some similar errors but with very old version so eclipse (2011? or so) so yeah! anyone know how i can investigate? === fuser_ is now known as fuser [14:37] sinjax: my first recommendation would be talking to java or eclipse people rather than ubuntu [14:37] daftykins, hadn't thought of the java people, i'll get on that [14:37] but the eclipse channel seems rather quiet [14:37] yeah, just gotta be patient i guess [14:38] hi, very weird problem, one process (nagios agent) runs with uid 4294967295, if i su - nagios and run somehting, it is run as normal (uid/gid 1001). user min uid is set to 1000 so im not sure how this is happening, anyone seen this before? [14:40] Is there a way to remove numbers from names in multiple folders? I know how to rename multiple folders, but I just want to do a find and replace, to remove the numbers in front of the folder name. Hopefully I'm making sense [14:41] Hello everyone. [14:41] hello doctor [14:41] not sure exactly how to do that, but tokenizing the string is probably the way to go [14:43] I have a question relating to networking and I wonder if anyone here could help.

[14:56] pdimov: Ctrl+A Ctrl+C Ctrl+V ? [14:56] pdimov: jokes apart try filezilla maybe. Depends on requirement really. [14:56] katycorp: when you login with your username and password you are able to choose the desktop environment. Did you do that? [14:57] pdimov: also - cp command? :)) [14:57] rsync > cp [14:57] pdimov: depends on what exactly do you you want to copy, dd, cp, rsync are some options [14:57] i want to copy hdd that is separated on 3 partions [14:58] 1-bootable with windows, and other with data [14:58] can I use dd to copy in folder? [14:58] Hey! How well does Ubuntu or any other linux distro work with Ati, specifically crossfire nowadays? I remember having a lot of troubles with it when I last used Ubuntu. I've stopped gaming and I'm thinking about moving back to Linux [14:59] john_john, i have an asus board w onboard hd330, works excellent [14:59] 3300 [14:59] Hi [15:00] My graphic cards are pretty old though, I have two HD5770 in my rig. Do you think I can manage to get it to work? [15:00] Teamviewer isn't starting anymore for me. This is the error: http://dpaste.com/1356873/ [15:00] if you stick with what it comes with and dont use too new of drivers [15:01] john_john, can you clock your card in bios ? [15:01] But will I be able to utilize them to the max? [15:01] i can [15:01] Johnny_Linux: I'm not very experienced on that area D: [15:01] youll just have to try it [15:01] Alright [15:02] mefistochen: yup cinnamon starts fine, but when I go into cinnamon-settings and select a theme, it doesn't take. Neither do edits to the panel. Everything looks like a fresh install every time I log out and log back in [15:02] thanks [15:02] hey there [15:03] most of my unity-webapps crash firefox (eg: twitter) [15:03] anyone got any idea about my question? [15:03] Kaapa: try a clean profile [15:03] daftykins: ok [15:04] dr_herbalist: i don't understand enough about it, but i suspect network manager might prevent your method from working, if you're using it to manage the wireless connection [15:05] katycorp: Maybe I am thinking of something else. But I installed ubuntu. And this comes with Unity. Because I didn't like it I installed gnome, too. But when I logged out and logged in again I had still the unity environment. I had to choose the gnome environment when logging in. But the themes which you are talking about are perhaps something else I don't know yet. [15:05] daftykins, It is possible but this method should work. I read it here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OnNetworkConnectionRunScript And it said network manager works with it. [15:06] I think you have to put gnome as default after installing it === dominus_ is now known as rikut [15:06] daftykins: also crashes with a new profile [15:06] Found the reason for tv not working [15:06] starts by opening a new window, then seems to start working, but eventyally crashes [15:06] (Because of iptables) [15:06] google calendar works, oddly [15:07] hi, does anyone know why my vpn connection keeps hanging when transferring files (ie. anything over 2mb it seems) [15:07] huym.... or not, doesn't work either [15:07] it "seemed" to work because I have google calendar as a pinned tab [15:08] test [15:09] esing, does your tv have networking ? if so that would explain the iptables block , but otherwise why would iptables prevent a graphics interface from connecting . [15:11] hey guys I just got a Nook HD+ and I wanted to connect it to my computer. When I open it, it requires me to download a dmg file to setup the connection. But I can't seem to open the .dmg file with ubuntu. Any help? [15:12] phyzix2425: .dmg files are Mac disk images [15:12] yes daftykins I am aware. [15:12] yet you're trying to use it? :) [15:12] phyzix2425: you may want to look up Linux support for that device [15:12] But I read online that .dmg files can be opened on linux [15:13] yes but that does not mean the files they contain will be usable by you. [15:13] As far as I know there is no linux support for that device daftykins [15:13] right but you think a Mac .dmg is going to have something useful for Linux? no. [15:13] ok [15:14] is there any way to simulate a Mac OS like wine does for windows? [15:14] What is the device? [15:14] read up. [15:15] sorry [15:15] john_john, it's a nook HD + [15:16] I am having issues with my audio modules and infrequent crashing where my audio stutters and my mouse and keyboard become unresponsive I believe it is linked to an error i see at start up about not being able to register pcspkr because it is already registerd [15:17] reddeath68: no, that wouldn't be related. [15:17] bean: then any ideas? [15:17] Problem: On some boots, after logon the system menu doesn't show the "power off" option, only log out and lock. When this happens there is also no sound - nothing except the dummy device is listed in the output device list in the sound control panel. Ubuntu 13.04, x64, gnome-shell. [15:18] Any ideas? [15:18] nope, but reloading a module wouldn't cause that, reddeath68 [15:18] bean: the friend i told said it seemed to be a audio module problem but he was on a train and unable to help [15:18] reddeath68: i'm at work and basically unavailable to help :) [15:18] bean: lol ok ill have to see what i can find [15:24] does anyone have suggestions for a lightweight media streaming server that supports heavy compressioning? notice the "lightweight" portion: I'm looking for something aside from vlc.1 [15:25] kriskropd i guess that's offtopic here [15:26] msg ubotto [15:28] hi, does anyone know why my vpn connection keeps hanging when transferring files (ie. anything over 2mb it seems) [15:31] http://www.seanswers.com/linux - Try my search utility for Linux please.

[16:19] bean : what i have to do in "quota" [16:20] i want to save the IP's from specific ports [16:22] I have two directories, I have found great tools like Meld and diff in the command line, to compare files. Unfortunately these files only compare file names, I want to check whether any copy errors happened, thus maybe checking filesizes or md5 checksums on individual files - as there are too many files and they are too large to restart.. the whole process and overwrite.. [16:22] wiehan: mc [16:22] ctrl-x d [16:22] Kaapa, what is mc? [16:23] midnight commander, one of the best apps ever [16:25] Kaapa, thx [16:25] bean : du -sh ==> 63M . [16:25] Hi...

[16:32] i know itunes has a beautiful way or sorting video files [16:32] has ubuntu an app like this? [16:32] daftykins: how do I find the contents? [16:32] thepeopleschamp: I've seen them for audio, but not for video. [16:33] Sach: open it with a text editor like gedit or similar [16:33] thepeopleschamp: VLC might have developed that feature. [16:33] daftykins: No. I think I fixed it, disabled screensaver. [16:33] What is the difference between Chromium and Chrome? [16:33] this has already come up earlier, are you not the person who asked it before? [16:34] No. [16:34] One is open source the other one isn't? [16:34] But will they function the same? [16:34] daftykins: yes, but how do I find the file on my system? [16:34] Probably not [16:34] otherwise they'd be the same [16:34] I mean as far as plugins. [16:34] The question is quite vague [16:34] Ah, I don't know then [16:35] no idea. I would hope that Google kept some sort of nice API for plugins but that could be wrong [16:35] Sach: tell you what, open a terminal and type "cat /var/log/jockey.log | pastebinit" you may have to install the program 'pastebinit' [16:36] daftykins: http://pastebin.com/hjpUTUuM [16:37] Mitchell92, yes, you can use google chrome appstore in chromium [16:38] Sach: try "sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source dkms" [16:38] cp: cannot create regular file `/var/lib/dpkg/status': Disk quota exceeded !!!!

[16:41] smarty: yes [16:41] !ot | smarty [16:41] smarty: #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! [16:41] smarty: this is a support channel for ubuntu [16:41] daftykins : du -sh ==> 63M [16:41] smarty: Sort of yes, its a Support channel to help with Ubuntu issues [16:42] i know there is a way to set it on default in your terminal [16:42] help? [16:42] me i don't know how [16:42] Kaapa, this mc and gnome-commander are very difficult to use.. I'm not getting it to compare the files within the directories.. [16:42] tabbytabtab: ask in full detail please. [16:42] smokingfreak: you mean including it in your prompt? [16:42] smokingfreak: you need to have this stuff in your start scripts [16:42] yeah [16:42] Sach: can you pastebin the output of "lspci" and "lsusb" ? [16:42] when you start a new terminal - your start scripts are executed and print out info - like that? [16:43] so if i open my terminal it will be the first thing i see [16:43] daftykins: When i try to install my wifi driver (in ubuntu 12.04) it says it failed and to look at var/log/jockey [16:43] smokingfreak: add these things to your start scripts for your shell like .bash_profile or .zsh_profile etc [16:44] smokingfreak: for instance if you place echo "hostname: $(hostname)" at the end of your shells initialization files you should get that output on terminal when logging in (or opening a new term) [16:44] tabbytabtab: yeah that's what Sach has right now too. did you look at that log file to see the error at the very end? [16:44] daftykins: http://pastebin.com/XfPj9FWT and http://pastebin.com/pi7p1523 [16:45] Sach: and this is ubuntu 13.04? [16:45] daftykins: 12.04 lts [16:45] Sach: sudo apt-get remove --purge bcmwl-kernel-source [16:46] Sach: then sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree [16:46] how does one compare two folders (with slightly different file structures) recursively so that the files that corresponds gets checked by size and say md5 hash to see whether copy errors might have arose [16:47] Is JeOS available in Ubuntu Server 13.04? [16:47] daftykins: http://pastebin.com/d0QznH7Z [16:47] daftykins: http://pastebin.com/RAkTyvRG [16:47] samuell: not supported here [16:47] !jeos | samuell [16:47] samuell: JeOS (pronounced "Juice") is Just enough Operating System. It is an efficient variant of the Ubuntu Server operating system, configured specifically for virtual appliances. See http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/jeos for more information. [16:48] wiehan: sounds like you would need to script it out considering the situation of varying file structure otherwise i would say try diff -r [16:48] samuell: sorry i'm wrong [16:48] wiehan, try bash [16:48] tabbytabtab: can you pastebin lspci and lsusb as well please? or just tell me what model wireless adapter you have [16:48] samuell: Actually, that looks an old factoid, the link just goes go normal Ubuntu server info now [16:48] DJones, Yea, that's why I'm a bit confused [16:48] daftykins : any idead about quota [16:49] anyone installed xrdp on server?? [16:49] Marlenee: did you look it up? [16:49] wiehan: maybe some find logic to find each file - check if it is in the other folder - and then if found possibly pass the two files to diff for comparison? [16:49] daftykins: i have bcw4311 [16:49] or whatever other comparison steps you need etc. [16:49] I want to run gnome-desktop on a server.. [16:49] tabbytabtab: follow the same lines i said to Sach then - "sudo apt-get remove --purge bcmwl-kernel-source" then "sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree" [16:50] Marlenee: http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialQuotas.html [16:50] hi. need a quick suggestion for a ubuntu based light weight distro. lxde works good but need something better. having a really old pc and please don't suggest me to add hardware and stuff.. not an option. :D thanks.

Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [17:34] hi [17:34] I'm having blank screen problems [17:35] !details | mango_ [17:35] mango_: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [17:35] ubottu: ok! [17:35] ChogyDan: details on they'e way. [17:36] hi [17:37] i am having issues with my nvidia drivers installation [17:37] what's happening? [17:37] I have a problem with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (and Linux Mint), when the laptop (Acer Aspire One D150) automatically boots from disk, I get a blank screen. However when I force the booting process to boot to GRUB, and then manually select the disk to boot from, Ubuntu boots up nicely. I have take a log of X0rg.0.log on both occasions, as I think the problem is the screen. I have tried using nomodeset to no avail. [17:37] Good X0rg.0.log: http://pastelink.me/dl/38ec13, Bad X0rg.0.log: http://pastelink.me/dl/38ec13 [17:38] its GT 540 M i have downloaded official drivers and installed it. but the screen resolution is way worse [17:38] mango_, mint has its own support channels and forums. its not ubuntu. [17:38] !mint [17:38] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [17:38] I'm using ubuntu 13.04 and I created a user but it was not sudo so I removed it and then tried again with sudo but now it says user does not exist [17:38] Dr_willis: I think he means both 12.04 and mint [17:38] Dr_willis: They are also using Ubuntu 12.04 [17:39] ^ [17:39] Dr_willis: I am using Ubuntu right now, and I will stick to it, if I have a solution. I only mentioned Linux Mint because I just suffered the same problem in previous installs. [17:39] can't send 'em away when they say both :( [17:39] they really shouldent have mentioned mint if hes on ubuntu. :) [17:39] and its not clear what 'force the booting process to boot to grub' means.. [17:40] mango_: both your pastes are the same [17:40] he has a bootable cd in the drive or usb [17:40] 'force the booting process to boot to grub' - means, when I switch the laptop on, I hold down the 'shift' button [17:40] ChogyDan: ok let me check. [17:40] I have changed some files in /etc. How can I see how a file from a certain package looks by default? [17:41] mango_: no need to check, you put the same link twice [17:41] mango_, making grub appear.. really dosent do anything differntly then having grub hidden. Unless you got 2 grubs on the hard drives You can select the option in /etc/default/grub to make grub NOT auto-hide so there will be no need to hold shift. [17:42] mango_, so this Laptop ONLY has ubuntu on it right now? or both Mint and Ubuntu? [17:43] Dr_willis: only Ubuntu 12.04LTS [17:43] I am trying to create a user with adduser but the terminal says user does not exist [17:43] Siebjee, whats the exact command you are using? [17:43] Does anyone know if there's a way to get functionality similar to that of nohup, but not putting the process in my "jobs" list? Ultimately I want a sccript "detatch" that I can use as: "detatch " that runs standalone, not in the shell. so that I can exit the terminal, not see any output of it, and not put it in my jobs list [17:44] Dr_willis: I did a clean install, I can't imagine having two grubs [17:44] mango_: when you do the custom grub thing, which option are you choosing? [17:44] sudo adduser name sudo [17:44] mango_, ive seen it happen if you have more then 1 hd.. or somehow got grub on the USB, or flash drives. [17:44] Siebjee, its 'sudo adduser username' [17:45] and you want to make a user named sudo? [17:45] ChogyDan: I just choose the top option, the other options are recovery and the memtest stuff [17:45] c3l: try, & disown [17:45] Siecje: isnt it useradd instead of adduser? [17:46] mango_, id start by making grub Unhidden by default. the top option in the grub menu should be the default and whats selected when it auto starts up. [17:46] Siecje, useradd has very differnt syntax then adduser [17:46] Dr_willis: I will check. [17:47] Dr_willis: which variable is it? [17:47] GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET? [17:47] should be right near the top of /etc/default/grub some timeout.. id have to refer to the grub wiki. [17:48] !grub [17:48] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [17:48] Dr_willis: GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET? is currently set to true [17:50] Dr_willis: GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET? is now set to false and I'm doing a restart [17:50] you did rerun sudo update-grub ? [17:50] oops forgot that [17:50] can someone help me with this easy thing? [17:50] one moment [17:50] ChogyDan, Still puts it in my jobs list [17:51] is there a nice app out there where i can have my video files nicely shown? [17:51] !ask | thepeopleschamp [17:51] thepeopleschamp: 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 [17:51] thepeopleschamp, clarify what you mean. [17:51] c3l: what is the jobs list? [17:51] like itunes has albums nice shown [17:51] i need an app that has my videos in ubuntu [17:52] thepeopleschamp, xbmc can work as a nice media center [17:52] too much off a memory user [17:52] is there a more smaller app like itunes? [17:52] itunes small? ;) [17:53] hello guys, I use xfce. Somehow I broke the video dvds autoplay function and I can't figure out why and how to fix it. Audio cds autoplay fine, but video dvds autoplay (thunar-volman) doesn't trigger any binary I point it to === MrKB2 is now known as MrKB [17:54] Okay, running a program in terminal with ./binname in 12.04.2 yelds a bash error 'command not found' even if I'm in the directory the file is, it is owned by me and has proper permissions. Any clue on what might be going on? [17:54] ChogyDan, some bash-specific thing I think. A list of background processes [17:54] CyL, look at the first line of the file. if its a bash script. it may be incorrect. its also possible its a currupted binary [17:54] Dr_willis: Well well, I'm getting Ubuntu toboot [17:55] Dr_willis: what could that variable be doing to prevent a boot up [17:55] Dr_willis: It'sa an executable, let me check md5 [17:55] c3l: well, I think the disown should work. But it isn't working for me on a gui program... so I dunno [17:55] thepeopleschamp try this, plenty similar tutorials to be found http://www.ubuntuka.com/itunes-ubuntu-linux/ [17:55] mango_, nothing as far as i know - hidden or not. it shouldent matter. Unless its the display MODE that grub is using thats confuseing things. [17:56] c3l: what is the command you are running? [17:56] Dr_willis: Although I think that even if it is correct, bash should find it [17:56] ChogyDan: disown also puts it in my jobs list. I think I need to talk to bash folks for the jobs-list related part of the question [17:56] hi [17:56] ChogyDan, no command in particular: any command that starts any kind of process is my target [17:57] Dr_willis: Anyway, MD5 sums says the files is intact [17:57] ChogyDan, anything that could have been started from the graphical system application menu [17:57] how do I adjust wifi parameters in ubuntu? for example, the various timeouts in 802.11? [17:57] like firefox [17:57] CyL, only time ive seen that issue is when. its not executable. the #! line is wrong. its currupted. or its a 64bit binary on a 32bit system [17:57] my CPU usage approach the 100 % while using flash player ? [17:57] c3l: yeah, this is a bash question. But last comment: try this: `command` & disown [17:58] Dr_willis: None of the above are true for me :/ [17:58] CyL, what does 'file thefilename' say about it? [17:58] deb conf - http://paste.ubuntu.com/6029587/ [17:58] Dr_willis: ./adb: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, not stripped [17:59] do you guys use chrome instead of chromium? [17:59] kelvinella, ive used them both.. cant say ive really noticed much differance. ;) === Abd_Allatif_ is now known as Abd_Allatif [17:59] kelvinella: I do, simply because there was a time that the ubuntu community was not keeping chromium up to date [18:00] any idea .. [18:00] Dr_willis, because firefox and chromium here giving me trouble once a while [18:00] Dr_wilis [18:00] Marlenee: what happened to get you in that state? [18:00] both firefox or chromium will make xubuntu here unusable [18:00] Dr_willis ... [18:00] using 99% CPU time [18:00] kelvinella, i tend to keep all 3 installed.. dependong on what im doing. ;) [18:01] kelvinella, sure its not flash doing that? Google-chrome does have its own flash [18:01] maybe flash i donno how to fix so i just use chrome now [18:01] daftykins: bad news. I'm still not able to see my wireless connection :( === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [18:01] even after i close firefox down the computer is slow and forces me to reboot [18:02] like 1 fps [18:02] Sach: did you try changing wireless channel on your router like someone suggested?

[18:03] My RAID0 disks somehow are not RAID anymore... after I tried to mount them under ubuntu [18:03] ubuntu server 12.04LTS [18:03] ChogyDan, once it is slow i almost cant even open terminal [18:03] Dev_Antar, Never heard of this, don't call people randomly. [18:03] Dr_willis: thanks, seems to be good, any tweaks I can do for netbooks? === kbrosnan_ is now known as kbrosnan [18:04] i dont wanna reproduce it [18:04] weille_nelie .... what [18:04] kelvinella: might be a memory or harddrive issue [18:04] how to connect them again together? [18:05] wilee_nilee ? [18:05] ChogyDan, but everything's fine after reboot [18:05] Hello all -- Having problems with an Ubuntu 12.04LTS migration from OpenVZ to a local device. The kernel which was imported was 'linux-kernel-3.2.2.0-........' Basically when I try to run 'iptables -L' I get ... 'FATAL v1.4.12: can't initialize iptabes 'filter' : Table does not exist (do you need to insmod)?' ........ So I installed kernel 3.4..... instead and removed the original kernel that was copied from the OpenVZ container , now ipta [18:05] Dev_Antar, question marks mean nothing by themselves, if you want help give details. [18:05] ChogyDan, I will try sticking to chrome and see if i will run into the same problem for now [18:05] install gentoo [18:06] wilee_nilee if you know the the solution try to answer if no , dont tell me how to ask ? [18:07] !attitude | dev [18:07] dev: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [18:07] !details | Dev_Antar [18:07] Dev_Antar: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [18:07] !attitude | Dev_Antar settle doen there are rules here [18:07] Dev_Antar settle doen there are rules here: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [18:07] Dev_Antar, give the *exact* details [18:08] daftykins: yes, didnt help :( I can still see other networks, just nt mine :( [18:09] bazhang why the cpu usage is 100% while using flash , the video become freezing ...... [18:10] Dev_Antar, install flashblock. launch them individually, try to use the download-helper extension and play in mplayer and see if you get the same results [18:10] Does anyone know how to enable iptables module for the kernel at boot time? [18:12] Dev_Antar: I agree with bazhang, flashblock is a lifesaver. Flashblock is for firefox. On chrome, I think it is just a setting, Settings > content > Plugins > click to play [18:12] I used mdm tool to recreate RAID0 array and now disk is parted to two devices and does not work! What to do? [18:14] Dev_Antar, adobe really dosent care about flash on linux, so flash on linux often has issues. Google-chrome has its own implemation of flash that may work better. [18:14] karab44, What OS are you running? [18:14] Sach: that's quite weird. is it a 2.4/5GHz issue maybe? [18:14] 1204 LTS [18:14] theres no magical quick fix's to get flash working perfectly on linux. [18:15] I just wanted to mount another partition, made of RAID0 [18:15] and of course on Linux nothing can be done easly [18:15] !fud [18:15] Please do not fall prey to, or spread FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) - it is not welcome here! Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty_and_doubt [18:16] karab44 please don't start [18:16] haha [18:16] given the disasters ive had on windows... really really dont want to start that discussion. ;) [18:16] Do you have this bot command on every occasion? :D [18:16] karab44 or do you mean linux cannot be hacked easily [18:17] MonkeyDu1t: It's not easy to steal jumbojet [18:17] karab44: you may have better luck posting on the forums, or askubuntu === gbit86_ is now known as gbit86 [18:18] I think it's over. RAID0 array has been removed [18:18] karab44: to mount a raid, simply assemble it, it should be done automatically, then check /proc/mdstat [18:18] karab44: try mdadm --assemble --scan [18:18] haha funny, I did that [18:18] raid0 isn't very good in terms of safety, though [18:18] and now 1TB data is permanently gone [18:19] there is no RAID0 array anymore [18:19] karab44: did you overwrite the disks or something? [18:19] hello! :) [18:19] no, but driver sees it as 2 separate disks [18:20] well, it's two separate disks [18:20] karab44: have you read https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/RAID_Recovery ? [18:20] Dr_willis: what command should I use to create a new user with sudo permission? [18:20] RoyK: I havn't read anything. I just panic here [18:21] how do I save the current ip from eth0 to use in a script [18:21] is that easy? [18:21] karab44: don't panic :) [18:21] I use Hirens Boot CD but there's dozens of tools that you don't know how works [18:22] They should make just one [18:22] Jacta___: I'm sure you could craft a regex for it from ifconfig [18:22] Jacta___, pipe ifconfig output through grep or awk would be one way to get just the number [18:22] Siecje, they need tobe a member of the admin group i belive. I rarely need more then one user with sudo rights [18:22] try this Scieje [18:22] sudo useradd -m username [18:22] sudo passwd username [18:23] Siecje. sry [18:23] useradd can take a lot of other options i belive if you want a home director and other stuff made [18:23] Jacta___: something like ifconfig eth0 | perl -ne 'print "$1" if (/inet addr:([0-9\.]+)/)' [18:24] Jacta___: as in MYIP=`ifconfig eth0 | perl -ne 'print "$1" if (/inet addr:([0-9\.]+)/)'` [18:24] how long does it take for a package to go from Build to the official repositories. For example, https://launchpad.net/~cmiller/+archive/chromium-browser-stable-daily/+build/4906532, this package ? [18:25] zangaroo, ubuntu normally dosent move new (or updated) packages into the repos - once a release has been done. theres some exceptions [18:25] !latest [18:25] Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [18:25] zangaroo: there is no automated process. That is just someone's workspace, so it will happen when they are done working on it, in theory [18:26] zangaroo, if you want the latest - theres PPA's for stuff. then some things May get into the backports repos. [18:26] Hi all. Does anybody recommend disabling the swapfile for a full install on a USB? For some reason it's running extremely slow; even slower than a persistent Live copy, with ridiculous hang times. [18:26] latest is pretty important if there are security updates [18:26] duoi, YOu can set the swappiness. [18:26] duoi, ive had no issues with a swap partion on a usb hd. You CAN however put a swap partion (or file) on an internal hd and set the usb hd to use it. [18:26] <_2cool4me4_> I just got GNOME 3 and really like it, but for some reason the Chromium title bar and tab bar are separate. Is there a way to change this? [18:26] duoi: no reason to disable swap - just set vm.swappiness=0 so that linux won't swap unless it has to [18:26] sysctl vm.swappiness=0 [18:27] duoi: for this to work after a reboot, add it to /etc/sysctl.conf [18:27] RoyK: will that level of swappiness actually work? I've had trouble with 10 [18:27] Guys how can i download webinar video from this website ? http://www.10gen.com/presentations/webinar-mongodb-and-hadoop-essential-tools-your-big-data-playbook [18:27] Thanks everyone, i'll do that now. [18:28] ty so much h4xx [18:28] ChogyDan: ChogyDan I think the raspberry pi uses 1 by default, or was that 0 ... [18:28] go figure [18:29] ok guys, now different task. I want to format USB drive with two partitions. Possible on desktop ubuntu? [18:29] <_2cool4me4_> gparted [18:29] cool [18:29] :) === Abbas5 is now known as Abbas| [18:29] known reason, I make rescue drive [18:29] karab44, gparted makes it trivial [18:30] I remeber, last time I used gparted to recover broken windows [18:30] just be sure the usb is unmounted befor you try to repartion it. (may best to unmount it via the command line, or let gparted unmount it) [18:30] Dr_willis: Good point [18:30] kashif_islam, FF add on downloadhelper will do it. [18:31] Dr_willis, can i use the source package to build the same binary in the ppa ? [18:31] h4xx: how do I add that new user to sudoers [18:32] zangaroo: google-chrome might be uptodate [18:32] zangaroo, you could i imagine, but i dont see why. === Lecter is now known as L-sama [18:32] because it tracks you [18:32] and chromium doesn't [18:32] hi! i'm new to ubuntu. I set a program to full screen. how to i resize it? [18:33] zangaroo: is that really true? not that chrome tracks you, but that chromium is better [18:33] hehe one day I'll start to answer more than ask questions... :) [18:33] ChogyDan, it's exactly the same [18:33] zangaroo, paranoid much? [18:33] h4xx F11 to leave full screen, then drag the edges to resize [18:33] ;) [18:33] ChogyDan: chrome has closed source bits in it, chromium doesn't [18:33] Dr_willis, better be safe than sorry [18:33] h4xx, pull it down with the cursor or hit the buttons in the header, did you hit f12? [18:33] okay ty [18:33] I'm kind of looking to streamlined Ubuntu installation, in the sense that I just want to add openssh-server to the package list when installing - I realize it's probably not on the installation medium, but is there a way I can add it to mine so it gets installed? === Wesley is now known as Guest25267 [18:33] zangaroo, better to not waste hours for no real gain. [18:34] and google-chrome's main benifit these days is the flash its using. but i have both installed. [18:34] if i learn it once, i can have the computer do it [18:34] !mini | Dresk|Laptop [18:34] Dresk|Laptop: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [18:34] <_2cool4me4_> Dresk|Laptop, you could start with a minimal install and build up from there [18:34] zangaroo: agree, chrome vs chromium, but firefox is still the best, open ness wise [18:34] <_2cool4me4_> I was too late. [18:34] got it. thanks again! [18:34] Dr_willis, Chromium plays nice with google's flash [18:35] bazhang / ubottu / _2cool4me4_ : Is there a listing of the default packages that Ubuntu comes with anywhere for reference? [18:35] so use what you want then? ive missed the point of the question/discussion [18:36] Dr_willis, can i use the source package to build the same binary in the ppa ? [18:36] zangaroo better ask in #ubuntu-app-devel [18:36] okay [18:37] Anybody know how to fix this http://i39.tinypic.com/3026uc3.png [18:38] I just switched back to Ubuntu after months of debian [18:38] *thumbs up* [18:38] I installed with the latest version of 12.04 64bit [18:38] wesley_: is it that you just dont like the new gui? [18:38] wesley_: fix what? [18:38] wesley_ i see perfectly healthy dash screen, [18:38] Oh that is how it looks now? [18:38] wesley_ welcome to the future [18:38] !manual | wesley_ [18:39] wesley_: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [18:39] last time I used it the unity dash extended the whole length of the screen [18:39] I thought that was weird [18:39] <_2cool4me4_> Dresk|Laptop, there's a list of all packages available, but I haven't found one for a default install: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [18:39] hi, how can i update menus on elementary desktop? [18:39] may as well have the dash fill the whole screen. :) not like you can do much untill it closes. [18:39] Dr_willis [18:40] How do I do that though? [18:40] Kev1, ask in the elementary os support chat/forums.. and i think theres some tweak tools mentioned on their forums. [18:40] is it on free node Dr_willis ? [18:40] <_2cool4me4_> I'll ask my first question again. [18:40] so just to be clear this is the new unity [18:40] Dev_Antar: just post your questions, if someone knows the answer, they will answer [18:40] ? [18:40] _2cool4me4_: I greatly appreciate your assistance, I figured I'd pick your brain on something if you have knowledge on it, though it's off Ubuntu topic - would you mind? [18:40] Kev1, no idea. check their homepage. [18:40] <_2cool4me4_> I just got GNOME 3 and really like it, but for some reason the Chromium title bar and tab bar are separate. Is there a way to change this? [18:40] thank you [18:40] <_2cool4me4_> Dresk|Laptop, if it's off topic, do it in a PM [18:41] _2cool4me4_, check the various gnome-shell plugins perhaps? you may want to post a screenshot of what you mean. [18:41] wesley_ yes, this is unity you're seeing, now you can get familiar with it, like we all did [18:41] okay then [18:41] chromium has that feature where it dosent use the system decoration i thought [18:41] I actually like unity better than gnome at this point [18:41] My FlashPlayer is freezes with 100% CPU [18:41] thank you all [18:41] yes.... we all got used to it... didnt install anything else... [18:42] Dev_Antar: A lot of times that can be solved by disabling Flash Hardware Acceleration - it just doesn't work in LInux [18:42] Dev_Antar, try google-chrome and its flash - would be a good idea. [18:42] Hardware acceleration on = I got Purple people in youtube videos. ;) [18:42] Dr_willis what should i do [18:43] <_2cool4me4_> Okay, here's a screenshot: http://tinypic.com/r/25tumue/5 [18:43] Dev_Antar, try google-chrome and its flash - would be a good idea. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< [18:43] Dr_willis to activate the integrated flash [18:43] i think i am using the normal flash [18:43] google-chrome uses its flash by default last i looked. [18:43] you can even set up the other browsers to use googles flash variant [18:43] <_2cool4me4_> Chrome's title bar and tabs bar are the same. On 10.04 with Gnome or on Windows, they are the same. [18:43] chrome uses its builtin crap flash unless you tell it otherwise [18:44] ooooh so its the same problem there Dr_willis [18:44] Dev_Antar, you are using google-chrome then? [18:44] Dr_willis Chrome is my favourit === Lydia_ is now known as Bella_ [18:44] Hey guys! I have a very weird request by a user... where is HIS OWN site hosted? lol. What tools can I use to investigate it? [18:44] Dev_Antar, check askubuntu.com for other potential flash tweaks also perhaps. [18:45] ok Dr_willis [18:46] * Dr_willis tends to disable flash [18:46] <_2cool4me4_> aFeijo, Try localhost [18:46] _2cool4me4_, what? [18:46] <_2cool4me4_> aFeijo, is he on the same computer that the site is hosted on? [18:46] I formatted my USB stick with gparted on ubuntu 13.04 and it doesn't want to work anymore [18:46] instal LAPM for Ubuntu [18:46] _2cool4me4_, his site is online [18:47] it asks me "open with"... [18:47] <_2cool4me4_> aFeijo, ignore me then [18:47] ok [18:47] aFeijo whois [domain name] [18:47] i had the same problem [18:47] Felishia, what asks open with? give the channel details of what you are doing exactly. and what filesstem you put on the USB stick [18:47] there is a pop up box that asked you how you want to open it right!? [18:48] <_2cool4me4_> You want to open it with nautilus, don't you? [18:48] you can also try mounting it by hand first to see if it works that way [18:48] when I format to Fat32 it says "open with" as if it were a file when it's mounted [18:48] MonkeyDu1t, thanks, the registrar is godaddy [18:48] no he wants to extract it in his browser [18:48] when I format to ext4 it says unknown error when saving files [18:48] 3 minutes ago it worked perfectly [18:48] Felishia, you are delete/remakeing the partions? not just formating them? [18:48] and setting the proper partion type? [18:49] Dr_willis, yes [18:49] try to mount it by hand. look for errors. [18:49] D_willis, Dit you check you path [18:49] ? [18:50] Dr_willis: IIRC partition types aren't too relevant anymore - linux will look at the content of the partition regardless of its type [18:50] Dr_willis it says error that the device is busy or already mounted [18:50] it's not even looking at it [18:50] it just says error [18:50] Felishia: and it's not mounted? [18:50] no... [18:50] it says it's mounted but it isn't [18:51] Felishia: what sort of device is this? [18:51] No object for D-Bus interface now [18:51] the hell? [18:51] it's an average USB stick that worked 5 mins ago === hp is now known as Guest96862 [18:52] Felishia: maybe dbus is crashing. If so, I suggest rebooting [18:52] just my experience [18:52] then it says open file with.... [18:52] like if my usb stick were a file [18:53] Felishia: does sfdisk/fdisk/something list partitions on the device? [18:53] yes it does list the partition as FAT32 [18:53] /dev/sdb is Fat32 [18:53] that's usually the partition/filesystem type on a memory stick [18:54] I formatted it 10 times now [18:54] Felishia: can you pastebin the output of 'mount', please? [18:54] Felishia: with what filesystem? [18:54] mount: /dev/sdb already mounted or /mnt busy [18:55] RoyK Fat32 and Ext4 [18:55] Felishia: can you pastebin the output of 'mount', please? [18:55] that is the only ouput! [18:56] the line: mount: /dev/sdb already mounted or /mnt busy [18:56] <_2cool4me4_> These join/leave messages are getting annoying. Must disable them... [18:56] Felishia: no, only 'mount', please [18:57] oh shit... [18:57] :) [18:57] my hard drive is doing the same [18:57] I can't even save files to my hard drive [18:57] Felishia: doing what?

I wonder why it would do that with a fresh install. It boots to some menu where I select Ubuntu but then it drops to initramfs. Is this a common problem? [19:22] its an iso9660 image :) [19:22] wilee-nilee: how do i open the repos? [19:22] Dr_willis, filesystem? [19:22] IMTheNachoMan, it can happen.

[19:27] wilee-nilee: i've ticked absolutely everething, updated, and didn't work [19:27] worrow, check askubuntu with your computer model and brightness, and post that info here, details make a difference. [19:27] and how do I fusion it again? [19:27] wilee-nilee: i'm done with this. [19:27] wilee-nilee: i just hate linux now [19:27] Felishia: cat file1 file2 > bigfile [19:27] marco__, Your choice. [19:27] wilee-nilee: so much frustration [19:28] it'd be so good if I could compress it to something smaller [19:28] 7zip :D [19:28] wilee-nilee: operative systems should be there to make things easier [19:28] bye. [19:28] RoyK it's not a text file... [19:28] Felishia: cat works for binary files too ;) [19:28] Asus K55A and I did check askubuntu and followed a few different theories. 1 was adding a ling to the grub which didn't change anything [19:28] rar the zip. then 7zip the rar. [19:28] ;) [19:28] wow really? [19:28] Felishia: just try [19:29] Dr_willis it's bzipped :p do you think I can 7zip it? [19:29] Felishia: then check with sha256sum or something [19:29] RoyK, okies :3 but gonna try to make the file smaller :) [19:29] Felishia, what kind of data is in it? [19:29] iso file u.u [19:29] it's .iso.bz2 [19:30] and what kind of data is on the iso? [19:30] worrow, Did you update-grub [19:30] absolutely. I am at a loss. [19:30] Dr_willis HTML files as it's a complete server data [19:30] well only the webpages actually [19:30] It does work but only lets me move it down to 90% and back to 100% [19:30] and the scripts and stuff [19:30] Felishia, i imagine its about as compressed as its going to get then. text stuff should compress very well. [19:31] worrow, Not sure myself, be sure to use nicks. [19:31] you could extract it and try differnt compression tools and options. [19:31] Dr_willis, what about if I take the iso out? === jack is now known as Guest29962 [19:31] like taking the files out of the iso and then put 7zip in them?

[19:32] i doubt if comrpessing a comrepessed file will gain anything [19:32] XMlnewbi: mixed content is a page with some content that was sent encrypted and some that was not [19:32] is there an alternate app to control my brightness with those keys? [19:33] Dr_willis, hoping it wasn't well compressed :p [19:33] rar might be able to get it a few % smaller if you use the right options [19:33] hell all,.. im trying to build a package that is looking for a build/ directory that im assuming would be a par of the linux-kernel-headers package? and located at /lib/modules/2.6.32-38/build --> /usrc/src/2.6.32-38/build ?? however i dont see that build/ directory anywhere? Can someone point out what im doing wrong please [19:33] Dr_willis, rar?... :s isn't rar licensed¡?? [19:33] Felishia, thats even worse then. ;) [19:33] Felishia, so? [19:33] !rar [19:33] rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [19:33] ubuntu cant use licensed stuff? :) [19:34] wine winrar.exe ;P or use the rar binaries [19:34] Dr_willis, I know but I'd need to buy the licenses... :p [19:34] I hate wine ¬¬ [19:34] err.. buy? since when? [19:35] wine is an effort to unencrypt what windows say the way they say :( [19:35] if it were allowed to be perfect it'd be so good [19:35] Dr_willis, thanks [19:35] are there any tools on ubuntu live cd to format an HD, write 0s, and check it? [19:35] IMTheNachoMan, boot-repair tool worked? [19:35] you know... ¬¬ [19:35] IMTheNachoMan, you can use the cli tools. or install gparted (thats easier) [19:35] I think I'm buying a DVD xD [19:36] Dr_willis, Oddly enough, I didn't need it. I turned it on today and it booted up. I don't know. Either way I want to null the disk out and start from scratch. [19:36] Dr_willis, which cli tools? [19:37] so "split SIZE=1990M file.bz2" [19:37] would that work? or do I have a syntax error? [19:37] known issue: displayport on Macbook 9,2 not working at all with raring? [19:38] The Google isn't returning much and the compat page says extdisplay works fine. [19:39] http://www.computerhope.com/unix/usplit.htm split examples [19:39] IMTheNachoMan, format with gparted, or the installer, 0 with the cli. the disks app has a smart tool. [19:39] split works with bytes... that confuses meeeeee! [19:39] IMTheNachoMan, parted, fdisk, cfdisk. mkfs.XXXX [19:40] 1990M is in megs.. [19:40] yes [19:41] I'm sure the answer is SUPER OBVIOUS but I'm apparently not firing on all cylinders today. WHat's the difference between writing a PDF to a file in binary mode vs not? [19:41] bzip2 is taking years o.o [19:41] mustmodify, writing with what? [19:42] Dr_willis, thanks sir [19:43] Does anyone know how to enable iptables module for the kernel at boot time? [19:43] Dr_willis: ruby. I'm receiving a PDF and writing it to a file locally. But it apparently isn't valid and I need to figure out WTF I did wrong. [19:43] !iptables [19:43] 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 [19:43] Felishia: you can put split into line mode with -l and providing the amount of lines you want per file [19:43] mustmodify, id say it should be in binary mode. [19:43] owen__, see bots message [19:43] Dr_willis: Yeah, that's the consensus. But what's the other option? [19:44] ASCII? [19:44] I mean... [19:44] what? [19:44] split -b 1990 m file.bz2 [19:44] mustmodify, about the only time ive heard 'ascii' mode is for old ftp file transfers.. and even then . you wanted binary mode 99% of the time. :) [19:44] wilee-nilee: Doesn't help unfortunately [19:45] I'm just asking... what's the other option other than Binary? [19:45] plain text? ascii? [19:45] owen__, Do you not understand the instructions? [19:45] I'm noticing so much of linux like how the output is designed to be read by awk [19:45] mustmodify, perhaps ask in #ruby ? :) i can only think of binary and ascii [19:45] awk is a wonder-tool :) [19:45] mustmodify: ASCII or EBCDIC [19:45] Dr_willis: Ah, it's 'text' [19:45] whatever that means. [19:45] mustmodify: are you having an issue with ruby or ftp? [19:46] Dr_willis, however awk = awkard X3 how annoying it is when you're learning [19:46] can someone take a look at this? [19:46] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6029789/ [19:46] If I use Ubuntu's use entire disk option at install time, it will set up partitions and GPT and all that for me, right? [19:46] SolarisBoy: It's not clear at this point. [19:46] im not sure whats wrong with that [19:46] :( [19:46] mustmodify: It means that it's not 8 bit clean, and other phrases that you never hear anymore because a lot has happened in the many decades since FTP was first introduced. [19:46] how can i see the shared folders of my clients? [19:47] mustmodify: when ruby grabs your file - execute "file " see if it recognized as a pdf file so if any modules your using that write to pdf - you'll be sure they are working with the right data [19:47] wizard_A, hmm.. smbtree, findsmb, smbclient, may be other ways. [19:47] so i assume your FTP download via ruby net/ftp or so forth - [19:47] SolarisBoy: I was just looking at that. Result is: public/system/reports_of_record/pdfs/000/000/001/original/report.pdf: PDF document, version 1.3 [19:47] so that seems good. [19:48] is that the problematic PDF? and what error are you actually getting ? [19:49] i've created an ad-hoc that shares my ethernet inernet connection with others over the wireless. i cannot even see their systems in the network directory but arp cmd tells me that they are connected. [19:49] SolarisBoy: So I guess my thinking is... "If file recognizes it but Chrome says "Failed to load PDF document... does that mean there is an encoding problem? Or that the PDF is just corrupt? And if so how did it get that way?" [19:49] 'file' just reads like the first line or 2 i think. [19:49] mustmodify: its possible it's corrupt - i guess it depends on where/how the pdf header is written [19:50] so it's possible a corrupt one still makes file print it as pdf [19:50] mustmodify: It's also possible that it's a PDF that chrome can't handle but another PDF reader might. [19:51] bz2 deleted my compressed file T_T [19:54] I know everyone is getting tired of me asking file system recovery questions. But, if dumpe2fs doesn't recognize any superblock's and I can't run fsck -nt ext4 /dev/sdf, what can I attempt to do to regain the files. Right now I am working off a cloned drive. [19:55] ddrescue it to a image, and work on the image you made. is common practice. [19:55] anyone know about Could not create object for (null): No session found for uid 1000 (unknown) [19:55] this error? [19:55] GH0: It sounds like your primary problem might be that you're trying to work with the entire drive, while the filesystem is on a partition. [19:55] so I opened the problem PDF and another one in vim, and it's clear that the working one is binary and the other is plaintext or something: https://url.odesk.com/4atwti [19:56] GH0, ddrescue Might be able to recover more of the data and the other info. it may take several tries however. [19:56] yea. definatly ddrescue one partion into a file at a time. not the whole drive. that saves a lot of hassles [19:56] gota goo [19:56] Jordan_U, noo, I am specifying /dev/sdf1 (sorry, I didn't specify a partition in that line) [19:57] vanishing, and when are you getting that error? [19:58] GH0: What problem are you having with running "fsck -nt /dev/sdf1" and why are you specifying -t? [19:58] Hello everyone, can anyone give me a hand in installing ubuntu. Im having trouble with partitions... for some reason it wont recognize partitions... Thanks [19:58] HouseLegend, common issue = a windows setup thats allready using 4 primary partitions. [19:58] wilee-nilee: It is iptables I want not ufw. Problem is when I installed a newer kernel, iptables works, but when I reboot it doesnt. I can reinstall the kernel to get the iptables working again, but it is not persistent. I have deleted the old kernel, but somewhere old settings are finding their way into the new kernel at boot time. [19:58] Dr_willis: I have been dealing with this for sometimes now [19:58] Dr_willis i have 2 partitions ... [19:59] Dr_willis: this is in .xsession-erros [19:59] errors* [19:59] HouseLegend: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l". You probably have an invalid partition table. [19:59] Dr_willis: libparted based tools showing the drive as completely "unallocated" generally means invalid partition table. [19:59] vanishing, and whats trying to get started thats giving that error? [19:59] Jordan_U, let me boot up Ubuntu [19:59] Dr_willis: gnome-session [20:00] Dr_willis: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6029789/ [20:00] network-manager is greyed out, and cpu-freq indicator cannot be switched [20:00] Hmm. session managers are a bit out dated i thought. havent really messed with sessions in ages. How are you logging into X? [20:01] by greyed out I mean it wifi/network enable option is greyed out [20:01] I have a bounty here guys, a bounty! http://askubuntu.com/q/335489 [20:01] im using lightdm [20:01] using systemd [20:02] vanishing: What do you mean by "using systemd"? I don't think that using systemd on Ubuntu is supported, and I don't expect it works well without some work either. [20:03] Jordan_U: I thought they switched to systemd already.. [20:03] i was wondering when the big move to systemd will take place. ;) not sure if thats in 13.10 or slated for 14.x or perhaps 15.x [20:03] Im back on Ubuntu booted from USB stick, what did you told me to do from terminal once again ? [20:04] vanishing: Nope, no current plans to switch to systemd at all. Ubuntu has chosen to stick with upstart. [20:04] HouseLegend_: sudo parted -l [20:04] hi [20:04] haha [20:05] can unetbootin reserved space be used by xubuntu also ? [20:05] Jordan_U where can i paste it ?

[20:17] agyzone, first guess would be a bad iso image, or burn to disk [20:18] @dr_willis - i tried downloading and burning the image on two seperate DVD's ... both showed the same issue [20:18] even i tried pendrivelinux.com to install it on pen drive ... still the same issue [20:18] agyzone, you did verify the iso image and burnt at the slowest speed? I tend to make bootable USB flash drives [20:19] HouseLegend_: You have 4 partitions and 1 MiB of unallocated space. If Windows is showing something else then I'm almost certain Windows is wrong. [20:19] agyzone, you can also 'dd' the iso straight to the usb which normally works for most people [20:19] Hi. I've just upgraded from. 10.04. To 13.04 [20:20] Jordan_U im sure Windows is wrong ... But im not sure how to fix that ... [20:20] what will running just this command in terminal will do "crontab" ? [20:20] But it doesn't boot. Sorry for the short / bad text, I'm on an iPad [20:20] Toil, This a fresh install? [20:20] Jordan_U, i would do full format but i have ~1.3TB of data, websites and music/project movies stuff [20:20] @dr_willis - i tried using the flash drive too ... but same issue [20:20] No. Upgrade. [20:20] Jordan_U, http://i.imgur.com/JJruWIg.jpg [20:20] data worth keeping - is data worth backing up. ;) [20:20] That is installer [20:21] Toil, through what other releases? [20:21] agyzone, that points to the iso file being bad.. verify the md5sum of it. and perhaps use torrents to download it. [20:21] can anybody help? [20:21] <_2cool4me4_> Oh. The grub update deleted Windows from my list of options at boot. Fun. [20:21] i downloaded it from the torrent itself [20:21] !cron | X-User [20:21] X-User: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto === sam113101_ is now known as sam113101 [20:21] No other release. [20:22] _2cool4me4_, run update-grub [20:22] Wai5 [20:22] Dr_willis, you dont get my queation [20:22] Toil, Then you did it wrong [20:22] HouseLegend_: To be honest I think it's most likely that Windows is not wrong, and that you're simply misinterpreting what you're seeing in Windows. But if you want two of those partitions gone, then you can just delete them from GParted. That said, I agree 100% with Dr_willis that data worth keeping is data worth backing up. You'll eventually regret it if you don't backup the data you care about. [20:22] Wait, I mean 10.04 to 12.04 [20:22] X-User, if you want to know what a command does use 'man thecommand' [20:22] what will running just this command in terminal will do "crontab" ? [20:23] Toil, Ah, did you use the end of life upgrade, is this a 10.04 with a desktop? [20:23] <_2cool4me4_> wilee_nilee: Wow, that was easier than expected. Thanks! [20:23] X-User, if you want to learn about the crontab system. then see the url above.. why would you just be running commands at random. [20:23] Eol, I assume [20:23] _2cool4me4_, no problem. [20:23] Jordan_U, sure its worth but, i dont have free HDD with 1.3TB. Once i get it i will back it up. Now im gonna go on Windows and if you want i can show you ss of partitions there. Just to confirm with you what is windows showing [20:24] Toil, yes eol from the terminal changing the repos. [20:24] Dr_willis, i got that already, seems like just "crontab" command will not do anything its a cli app [20:24] X-User, it is a cli app correct.. crontab - maintain crontab files for individual users [20:24] HouseLegend_: Yes, please post the Windows screenshots here and in ##Windows. [20:24] http://linux.die.net/man/1/crontab [20:24] Toil, only if a desktop version, is it? [20:24] Dr_willis, ok thanks [20:25] wilee-nilee: this is the bad X0rg.0.log file [20:25] I went through do release upgrade [20:25] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6030068/ [20:25] Toil, desktop version of 10.04? [20:25] Laptop. [20:25] http://postimg.org/image/5b38ocnrx/ [20:26] Toil, Desktop meaning does it have a desktop not on a desktop. [20:26] No. It boots up to the circles part [20:27] Ten flashes then goes into the stage in that pic [20:27] I can alt f1 to login through a shell though [20:27] Toil, Here is the deal the 10.04 server is still supported, the 10.04 withy a desktop enviroment is eol, I'm just trying to confirm this was not a server with no desktop. [20:28] Jordan_U, here is what Windows shows... http://i.imgur.com/dF6zsPx.png [20:28] <_2cool4me4_> Is it a bad idea to run e4defrag? [20:28] It was with a desktop, correct. [20:28] hey how can i get the latest version of tshark? [20:29] Toil, The upgrade method you used was faulty, it is hard to say what happened.

[20:30] Jordan_U, i should go ask there ? or ? [20:30] Hmm.. Anyways to fix it? >.< [20:30] Toil, YOU might try the recovery cli and running sudo apt-get -f install if its root no sudo [20:31] wilee-nilee: what I don't understand is why grub2 doesn't pick up the modes [20:31] It's root no sudo but for some reason networking isn't working [20:31] I've got my LAN set up into my laptop but it just says network is unchallenged [20:31] I reachable [20:31] ... Unreachable [20:31] HouseLegend: My guess is that Windows considers a partition "unallocated" when it doesn't contain a filesystem, whereas Gparted and Ubuntu's installer consider space unallocated when there is no partition at all. [20:32] Toil, I'm not your best help in fixing this, I would never do a upgrade myself, others may take the time. ;) [20:32] Jordan_U, how do i fix that ? Without formating my whole PC. and if you want we can move this to ##windows so people here dont get mad :D [20:32] No problem thanks [20:33] Toil: You have your network setup on your laptop but the network is unreachable? [20:33] HouseLegend: If my guess is correct, you just use GParted to actually remove the partitions. [20:33] No, I means I have a Ethernet cord in my laptop [20:33] So not wireless [20:33] Toil: I see. So, what is the problem? [20:34] usr13, a non eol upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04 [20:34] Jordan_U Gparted shows them a bit weird.. it shows one partition of 1.7TB and there is no single partition like that here [20:34] wilee-nilee: Oh. [20:34] just info [20:35] wilee-nilee: But that shouldn't be a problem. Right? Should work ok. [20:35] usr13, Not the correct repos for the upgrade is all. [20:36] not sure in general I assume there is a eol upgrade path for good reasons [20:36] wilee-nilee: But as long as 10.04 was up-to-date, it should be ok, the repos would just change to the ones for 12.04 [20:36] HouseLegend: Look at your screenshot again, partition 4 is listed as being 1081.77 GiB large. [20:36] usr13, Cool I just don;t feel I can fix this is all. [20:37] wilee-nilee: What is broken? [20:37] usr13, You will ahve to ask the user all I had gotten was a no boot. [20:37] Jordan_U, can you send me link i gave from ubuntu Gparted [20:37] have* [20:38] and a screenshot not readable [20:38] Hi, Does anybody know how can I install viber? [20:38] I heard viber for linux has been released. [20:38] !find viber [20:38] Package/file viber does not exist in raring [20:40] wilee-nilee: this is the good X0rg.0.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6030087/ , this is the bad X0rg.0.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6030068/ [20:40] Sorry about that. [20:40] just comparing the files, I notice intel (0) doesn't get compiled [20:40] and I don't know why [20:41] I need to connect to the interwebs to apt get install -f, as I've just upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04, but it doesn't seem to boot past the Ubuntu loader(graphically) [20:41] whoever answered the bounty tks =) [20:41] Toil, Have you tried nomodeset? [20:41] !nomodeset | toil [20:41] toil: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [20:41] Nope? [20:42] HouseLegend: http://i.imgur.com/sMjsGpF.jpg [20:42] hola [20:42] Toil, graphic drivers often do not follow distro upgrades [20:42] can't find it in the PPA [20:42] trying to compile from src [20:43] Jordan_U, in that SS there is Parition of 1.58 TB, which dosnt exist ... This is driving me crazy ... [20:43] HouseLegend: Ahh, the "Dynamic" might also mean that this is a Windows Dynamic Disk, in which case it shouldn't have an msdos label like the one that it does. [20:43] Ok just updating grub now [20:43] Rebooting [20:43] needs gtk to run but i'm on headerless server [20:43] Toil, If you add nomodeset at the grub menu you will lose it in a reboot. [20:44] I added it to /etc/default/grub [20:44] Bu it don't see to have worked [20:44] Toil, chrooted in? [20:44] Jordan_U, This is a SS from some Parition Tool software for Windows, maybe it helps ... http://i.imgur.com/UP8OT4b.png [20:44] After the Ubuntu splash screen, it goes toalac screen, with a. Loading mouse cursor. [20:45] Wit [20:45] Wait [20:45] Broke pipe something? [20:45] Loss of data [20:45] HouseLegend: Yes, you have a Windows Dynamic Disk, which is similar to LVM. [20:45] Toil, You can remove the splash to see all the text. [20:45] Jordan_U, so whats my next step. What should i do ? [20:47] HouseLegend: You'll probably want to somehow convert the disk from WDD to a standard msdos partition table. I don't know how to do that, but someone in ##windows might. [20:47] Jordan_U, thanks i will ask there [20:47] anyone know if it's possible to turn Super click into Alt+F1? [20:47] HouseLegend: You're welcome. [20:49] It's a start I think [20:49] It's now just black and cursor [20:49] Nvm [20:49] Still the same [20:50] In apt get infallible -f, there are a few thins that it wants me. I install [20:50] <_2cool4me4_> That's it. I'm waiting to get a smartphone until 2014. [20:51] I'll try an older kernel [20:52] Nope. I'll try and see if I can e ack into a terminal and say what it wants to install. / upgrade [20:52] <_2cool4me4_> Was Ubuntu Phone inspired by Palm WebOS? [20:53] !touch | _2cool4me4_ [20:53] _2cool4me4_: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch [20:53] _2cool4me4_, I imagine it was inspired by everything that has came befor it. [20:53] Wot is this [20:53] It randomly loaded [20:54] Mouse doesn't work and when logging in it says [20:54] Failed to load session Ubuntu [20:55] hi there [20:55] did syslog-ng get replaced by syslog? [20:55] or they are two diferent things? [20:56] Toil, If you can access this with a live cd I would pull out what you need and do a fresh install, if you can. [20:56] Mm [20:56] Does 12.04 use unity? === Companion is now known as companion [20:56] Toil, yes, and others [20:56] grojass: they are two different things. We use rsyslog by default in Ubuntu. [20:57] Is it bad that unity isn't installed? Lol [20:57] Pici: thanks, where can i find the rsyslog conf file is it /etc/syslog.conf? [20:57] Toil: if you dont have unity, you didnt install main ubuntu [20:57] Toil, can you install the ubuntu-desktop that is unity [20:57] grojass: /etc/rsyslog.conf [20:57] Ubuntu 10 didn't use unity though did it? [20:58] Toil, Nope but a correct eol upgrade would have installed it. [20:58] grojass: "syslog" is sort of a concept. it's provided/implemented by rsyslog, syslog-ng, and several others. [20:59] So the problem could be the lack of unity ? [20:59] thanks [20:59] Toil: the problem could be, that you think you downloaded main ubuntu, but didnt [20:59] Toil, hard to say you started out completely wrong in this upgrade [21:00] Toil, Can you get to the sources.list and pastebin it? [21:01] Toil: Did you use do-release-upgrade to upgrade? [21:01] My mic was working fine yesterday and the only updates i have had have been a kernel update and i installed python3. Suddenly my mic is picking up tonnes of background noise making it barely audible. The slider bar for my mic in pulseaudio volume control keeps in locking, if that helps. I am running 12.04 thanks. [21:01] Yes Jordan I did [21:01] 10.04 to 12.04 [21:01] Jordan_U: Toil did [21:01] While, I can take aa pic lol [21:01] :) [21:02] Can anyone help? [21:02] please [21:02] i know, i would just fresh install.. i did a fresh install of 12.04 yesterday.. took about 6 minutes [21:02] Smilo: boot the older kernel and test [21:02] I dont know how :/ [21:02] But I'd hAve to reinstall everything :C [21:02] Smilo, Maybe give it more than a minute for begging for help, which is not a good idea anyway. [21:03] !clone [21:03] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this may cause problems with multiarch before 12.10) - See also !automate [21:03] Smilo, the grub menu has options for the older kernels [21:03] Toil: you *get* to reinstall everything, and see that the system is installed properly, and "everything" is working, without having to mess about like you are [21:04] Well, that's the optimistic way of looking at it :D [21:04] jordan: They said that they were going to but that it didn't work, then came back saying they had upgraded. I'd like confirmation that they got do-release-upgrade working rather than trying to do something else. [21:05] jordan: D'oh, I missed Toil's comment, which explains your comment :) [21:05] hola [21:05] hola [21:05] Well if you'd like to help debug, I'm all ears :P [21:05] quien vive ?

I barely use nfs - askubuntu.com may have some others asking it.. Id guess its some nfs server setting. but its been ages since ive used nfs [21:38] Not really, 2 days ago I change a proxy in skype since it wasn't working anymore [21:38] linux-ninja: symlinks across filesystems will not work with nfs [21:38] if the soft links were relative id say yes.. but if not.. then id say they would break [21:38] linux-ninja: it SHOULD NOT work [21:38] this would pose a security issue [21:39] Dr_willis: if on the same filesystem, and relative, yes, but not otherwise [21:39] make a simple link and see. :) ln -s foo bar (in the same dir) [21:39] that'll work [21:40] but symlinking to another fs will not [21:40] when you export a filesystem (part) over NFS, you don't want users to have access to other parts or file systems via symlinks [21:40] indium: indeed [21:40] http://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/networking_2ndEd/nfs/ch06_04.htm NFS and SYmlinks. :) [21:40] I'm attempting to install Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS on my server that doesn't have a CDROM drive or internet access, so I'm attempting to install via USB.

You're not actually calling aptitude yourself? [21:43] indium, I do not understand. I got the same mount in another box and it works... [21:44] using the same credentials and everything, what is the difference.... [21:44] hmmm: then that's security risk! [21:44] jrib: well, yeah, not calling it myself, just thought that's what came up when you did "manual selection" [21:45] brett2342: ok. So what can you see about the error? [21:45] jrib: is there a way to scroll up? the error just scrolls by really fast and I can't page up to read it [21:47] jrib; can you explain briefly what you mean by that (I am still a beginner in ubuntu), I tried to copy it in dash home and firefox but nothing happend === HisaoNakai_ is now known as HisaoNakai [21:47] indium, what do you mean [21:48] is there a brghtness hotkey fix in ubuntu 12.04 it works but only lets me lower it to 90% minimum [21:48] so you want to get the brightness below 10%?

[21:50] linux-ninja: My guess is that you're simply misunderstanding how symlinks work, but those details should confirm that.

[21:53] in the privacy settoings, there's an option to turn sending anomnymous data to canonical [21:54] it this the same as software center, or is this a completely different thing?

[23:23] brett2342: you can either follow one of the methods ubottu suggested or you can download debs yourself. But you can't just download build-essential, you need to also download any dependencies listed there that you don't need. [23:24] i am istall apache php mysql, how i cand find public_html folder? [23:24] well, it looks like using the 3.2.0-49 kernel fixes the boot problem [23:24] ziadingo, go to /var/www [23:25] cj, so whenever I start GRUB I should pick such kernel? Or updating it? [23:25] jrib: could you help me figure out hwo to use the link from ubottu? i choose AMD64, Precise, and "build-essential" but it doesn't result anything; not sure what i'd put in the meta package textbox [23:25] brett2342: ubuntu-desktop [23:25] thx, i am find, but there i dont create new folder or file :( [23:26] hi [23:26] any body here [23:26] brett2342: are you on precise? [23:26] jrib: it says "There is no such package in Precise" for "build-essential" -- this is the package i'd use, right? [23:26] jrib: 12.04 Server, yes [23:27] brett2342: then try a different method; that page probably isn't up to date [23:27] jrib: ok [23:27] !APTonCD [23:27] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [23:30] jrib: can't do the other method b/c i don't have another linux based computer. i think i found a windows based apt though, i'll give that a go [23:31] hello, i have an ip alias (i believ that's what it is called) it only shows up in ip addr show eth0 and not in ifconfig…. [23:31] anyway i believe i need to add a static route on the secondary IP that the interface has. how can this be done? [23:31] the primary ip of the interface works fine with the static route* [23:31] daguilar, YOu have to update-grub to add [23:33] teaaaaa [23:34] is there anyway of avoiding grub2 [23:35] mango_: so many ways [23:37] Is there a way to stop UFW from logging certain events? I don't need dmesg, kern.log and syslog hammered by notifications of anycasts or certain protocol types being dropped [23:38] I don't want all logging gone, just two or three frequent types [23:38] if it doesn't have built-in options, you can find wherever its logging bits are and pipe them through a grep [23:38] wilee-nilee, what's the proper way of doing kernel updating? [23:39] I <3 WINDOWS VISTA!!!! [23:39] eewww [23:39] daguilar, In grub or in general? [23:39] reisio - was that response aimed at me? [23:39] andrej: yup [23:40] If it was it was orthogonal to my question [23:40] I don't want the stuff logged, not not to see it in the logs [23:40] So Im using Windows and all my software and hardware work great and I was wondering if you guys are jealous? [23:40] They fill up too fast [23:40] andrej: right, you can grep it as it's logged, most likely [23:40] Jrizzlin: Is your system also slow and buggy??? ;) [23:40] Jrizzlin: so jealous [23:40] No, 2 gigs of ram and it runs like a dream [23:41] Jrizzlin, No, many of us dual boot many OS, and use them when appropriate. [23:41] I lay awake, upset at my choice to use the OS that supports more hardware than any other :) [23:41] reisio: there are pills for that [23:41] daftykins: don't I know it :) [23:41] d'aww [23:41] wilee-nilee in general [23:42] So When is unix appropriate? Thats the same thing as ubunto right? [23:42] Jrizzlin: close enough [23:42] Jrizzlin: I'd say always [23:42] Jrizzlin: Ubuntu is linux. Linux is a unix clone. [23:42] So what's Windows and whys it work so much better? [23:43] Jrizzlin: windows is another os, and it doesn't :) [23:43] goguda: linux *was* a unix clone... [23:43] some 30 years ago [23:43] RoyK: True... I guess it's kinda gone off in its own direction now [23:44] daguilar, sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade dist-upgrade is the key [23:44] biggest unix-like system on the planet [23:44] was, is... [23:44] daguilar, The update manager will update kernels too. [23:44] unix is for old bearded people. [23:44] Jrizzlin: WIndows doesn't work better. It's just easier to get running most of the time. [23:45] xatr0z: no shortage of those [23:45] xatr0z: not really - systems like aix or solaris are still very good [23:45] goguda: is it? :p [23:45] you guys really ought not to feed the troll [23:45] big bucks for unix admins [23:45] goguda: I s'pose if having someone else install it counts, heh [23:45] daftykins: trolls are fun [23:45] goguda - not in my experience. it's *easy* when it comes preinstalled on your hardware [23:45] was meant to be funny, not trolling :) [23:46] im having difficulties trying to get a on air usb hdtv creater pro to detect in ubuntu 12.04 anyone able to give me a hand? [23:46] Have you ever used machine code? [23:46] andrej: True. If you want to reinstall it can be a disaster [23:46] wilee-nilee, if I'm using Ubuntu LTS [23:46] and I do the dist upgrade [23:46] wouldnt it update me to another version¡ [23:46] wilee-nilee [23:46] ? [23:46] dist-upgrade doesn't take you to another release [23:46] do-release-upgrade does [23:46] !dist-upgrade | daguilar [23:46] daguilar: 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. [23:47] dw5304: you could try opening a terminal and type lsusb to find out the code, you can then google that for people with the exact same product [23:47] thats part of the issue xatroz i have [23:49] I'm having trouble installing the tor-browser on kubuntu 12.04 [23:49] dw5304: by 'the code' i meant the device ID. But please explain why thats part of the issue, can you find the device in the output from lsusb? [23:50] Weird. When I chose to download 64bit 12.04.3 LTS from ubuntu.com it still downloads i386 iso. I was expecting amd64. Have I lost my mind ? [23:50] I get the following error http://pastebin.com/FxrNNXPm [23:50] device id is Bus 002 Device 008: ID 11ba:1003 [23:50] zipper: hey mate, tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure unzip:i386" ? [23:51] zipper: may i also point out the irony in 'zipper' having an issue with 'unzip' :> [23:52] i have a server on the network but cant connect to it using pynaberhood making a webdev folder to acces my owncloud files on this computer but i can connect to it by a web brouser if i enter the url [23:52] dmesg says it loads but its missing all the qam stuff [23:52] zipper, YOu can download the tor browser from them unpack it and not even run it in root, thats what I would do. [23:52] Ubuntu download page is messed up. [23:52] from a root install that is [23:52] Chaser: how so? [23:52] xatr0z:went looking for the firmware but have been unable to find anything of relivance [23:53] dw5304: some debian page mentiosn this device id and that it should work with the driver pvrusb2 [23:53] Chaser: http://mirror.clibre.uqam.ca/ubuntu-releases/ [23:53] reisio: So I go to www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop. Select 64-bit from the drop down menu "Choose your flavor" it still download i386 version of the iso [23:54] xatr0z: it is not working across the board [23:55] reisio: Thanks, started downloading it from releases.ubuntu.com though. [23:55] crap i found this vid dude had a window manager made his desktop look like the predator now i can't find the damn file [23:55] daftykins: uh that didn't have any actual output [23:55] Chaser: not over here, maybe it has some backend magic that failed for you, though [23:55] daftykins: I tried an -f install and that didn't seem to work right [23:55] reisio: so you have tried ? And it downloads amd64 version for you ? [23:55] Chaser: ffr you can get a geographically close mirror from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+cdmirrors [23:56] Chaser: yup [23:56] Chaser: it's possible they're randomly picking mirrors server-side, though [23:56] or even based on location [23:56] reisio: ok cool, very weird though. [23:56] so it could conceivably be a single mirror's issue [23:56] yeah, definitely a bug if it happened :) [23:57] dw5304: are you using pvrusb2 already? there is a guide here, but it could be very outdated http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=159989 [23:58] xatr0z:49] pvrusb2: Hardware description: OnAir Creator Hybrid USB tuner [ 4420.670580] saa7115 0-0021: saa7115 found (1f711 [23:58] is being detected in dmesg [23:58] ok [23:58] test [23:58] but channles and the qam's dont work === charles_ is now known as Guest69393 [23:59] BadK1tty: gnome-look.org ??
