| Kalel | I would like to install 'whatsApp' in my android device from ubuntu raring ringtail. Can I do that without any problem? | 00:03 |
| histo | Kalel: what do you mean install it from ubuntu? | 00:04 |
| xenland | How come when i follow these directions: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1180792 | 00:05 |
| xenland | my boost still dosen't work in cmake? | 00:05 |
| xenland | says version 0.0.0 | 00:06 |
| Kalel | histo: From my computer, ubuntu 13.04. My android device is conected in usb.. I already downloaded the app from the website. | 00:06 |
| histo | Kalel: then copy the apk to your sd card or android device and install it. Why don't you just install it from the android market? | 00:07 |
| Kalel | histo: Ok. I didn't consedered that. I'll try.. Thank you. | 00:08 |
| brett2342 | i'm trying to set up a local repository for ubuntu 12.04 server following this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Offline/Repository | 00:10 |
| brett2342 | i'm trying to set up a local repository for ubuntu 12.04 server following this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Offline/Repository , but after running apt-get update, it says failed to fetch...repository/dists//precise/main/binary-i386/Packages, but i am on x86_64, so not sure why it's looking for i386. any suggestions? | 00:11 |
| histo | brett2342: there is an extra / in there is that a typo or did you copy and paste? | 00:11 |
| brett2342 | histo: no, that was a typo (not copy & paste) | 00:12 |
| zipper | wilee-nilee: uh I don't see an option to use it in terminal from here. It just opens the browser | 00:12 |
| histo | brett2342: did you download the proper contents | 00:13 |
| histo | and proper packages files or did you download i386 ones | 00:13 |
| wilee-nilee | zipper, What install of tor? | 00:14 |
| brett2342 | histo: yeah, i'm fairly certain i have the correct packages. i don't see where the i386 is pulling from | 00:14 |
| wilee-nilee | zipper, Not sure what you mean by use in terminal. | 00:15 |
| Christoff522 | #join #r/linux | 00:15 |
| zipper | I want to say use it with irssi | 00:15 |
| zipper | I downloaded the tor browser bundle | 00:16 |
| wilee-nilee | zipper, never used irssi myself | 00:16 |
| histo | zipper: tor browser bundle is not tor and has no terminal component that I'm aware of. | 00:16 |
| histo | zipper: if you want to torify irssi that is another thing all together | 00:16 |
| wilee-nilee | the tor browser use the tor network | 00:16 |
| wilee-nilee | uses | 00:17 |
| zipper | histo: how exactly? When I run tor -v I get valid output so tor is installed? | 00:17 |
| histo | zipper: most likely so if you want to use it with a cli app just torify whatever | 00:17 |
| zipper | okay let me see the command is just << torify irssi >> ? | 00:18 |
| xatr0z | zipper: you could connect irssi to a port on localhost, and use a proxy to sent traffic on that port to the irc server you want | 00:18 |
| xatr0z | and torify is one way of doing it | 00:18 |
| wilee-nilee | zipper, YOu had not mentioned as far as I saw any indication of irc through tor at least to me. | 00:18 |
| xatr0z | but if you want privacy you arent finished yet | 00:18 |
| xatr0z | there could be a lot of leaks of your ip addres or other information | 00:19 |
| xatr0z | zipper: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorifyHOWTO/irssi here are some methods, but if torify works for you and you just want to evade irc bans no problem | 00:19 |
| zipper | Well I got the following info from their install instructions. | 00:19 |
| histo | zipper: typically and that has nothing to do with tor browser bundle | 00:19 |
| zipper | To use SOCKS directly (for instant messaging, Jabber, IRC, etc), you can point your application directly at Tor (localhost port 9050), but see this FAQ entry for why this may be dangerous. For applications that support neither SOCKS nor HTTP, take a look at torsocks or socat. | 00:19 |
| histo | !tor | zipper | 00:19 |
| ubottu | zipper: Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is in Ubuntu's repositories, but the Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en | To use Tor on freenode, see !tor-sasl | 00:19 |

| somsip | AcidRain2012: is it necessary for you to use ftp, or could you use scp? | 00:29 |

| syntroPi | whats from with the usb kernel modules? they made my kernel froze bad enough that even REISUB couldnt unlock it? do i really need to pull my power plug everytime usb fails? | 00:29 |
| wilee-nilee | syntroPi, This a iso loaded to a usb and you have updated the kernel? | 00:31 |
| === virusuy_ is now known as virusuy | ||
| syntroPi | wilee-nilee, i just was copying some files from/to my usb hdd. then it totaly froze, i have never seen it that bad | 00:32 |
| syntroPi | did not update it, its last release, but first time i did some heavy copy with this kernel | 00:33 |
| wilee-nilee | syntroPi, Not sure what a usb kernel module is, you make this up? | 00:33 |
| wilee-nilee | in other words just some name applied | 00:34 |
| syntroPi | wilee-nilee, well i guess its something like usb_storage together with dependencies | 00:35 |
| wilee-nilee | syntroPi, So let me get this straight, you using a usb with ubuntu to move packages from your install on the computer to a external HS? | 00:36 |
| wilee-nilee | HD* | 00:36 |
| wilee-nilee | Thats okay to do you are limited however on the speed of the flash stick and the usb ports, are you sure it actually froze? | 00:38 |
| syntroPi | wilee-nilee, nope i attached my usb hdd on usb 3 port (which is NEC Corporation uPD720200) and copied some files from usb hdd to another dir in usb hdd (which has NTFS on it) | 00:38 |
| syntroPi | on my regular up to date x64 system (which runs from ssd hdd) | 00:39 |
| AcidRain2012 | i need some help setting up an ftp server | 00:39 |
| === weblife is now known as web-brandon | ||
| wilee-nilee | syntroPi, Ah would run faster with usb 3, I guess you have to investigate what is causing the freeze, not sure how myself efficiently anyway. | 00:39 |
| syntroPi | wilee-nilee, i couldnt investigate anything, it did not even recognise REISUB | 00:40 |
| wilee-nilee | syntroPi, There are error files, I have really never had to use them in 6 years so I have not worried to debug stuff. | 00:41 |
| AcidRain2012 | can anyone help with with setting up ftp server? im having some permission issues. i want my username to be able to access /var/www/ from /home/ftpusers/acidrain/[sym_link_to_www] | 00:42 |
| AcidRain2012 | how can i do this? | 00:42 |
| AcidRain2012 | i have the vsftp server running as ftp.ftp | 00:42 |
| wilee-nilee | AcidRain2012, by having some patience to start with. | 00:42 |
| syntroPi | wilee-nilee, which are the latest kernel syslogs? i guess sth like /var/log/syslog.1 ? | 00:42 |
| AcidRain2012 | wilee-nilee, at this point i just want it to work. im not sure what i did. but i JUST got it to allow me to login after 10hrs of work | 00:42 |
| wilee-nilee | syntroPi, Not sure out of my armchair use skills. ;) | 00:43 |
| somsip | syntroPi: without numbers are the latest. *.1 is the previous one, *.2 is the one before that, etc | 00:43 |
| syntroPi | somsip, so without number is life? | 00:44 |
| somsip | syntroPi: yes. Eg: /var/log/syslog | 00:44 |
| syntroPi | so the last boot is syslog.1? well if so it didnt write anything malicious in there | 00:44 |
| somsip | syntroPi: they are not rotated every boot. The current log is /var/log/syslog | 00:45 |
| Silver_Arrow | So, after a hard shutdown from power loss, the mixer plugin and pulse audio no longer detect any audio harware, only dummy output | 00:45 |
| Silver_Arrow | anybody know what might've cause it? | 00:48 |
| syntroPi | somsip, oh thanks there it is, damn it looks dirty there: SysRq : Resetting, BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 22s! and lots of debug | 00:48 |
| syntroPi | Silver_Arrow, try sompin like "sudo alsa force-reload" | 00:51 |
| loadid_czech | Silver_Arrow: lshw and make sure your audio hardware is still detected | 00:52 |
| Silver_Arrow | okay, did that, started pulse audio, and it still only reports dummy output | 00:52 |
| AcidRain2012 | hax!!!! | 00:53 |
| semitones | if I have a program that outputs text, can I pipe that text to a bash program that adds "foobar " to the text, and then pipe that to something else? | 00:54 |
| somsip | semitones: yes | 00:54 |
| semitones | somsip, what's the bash program called? | 00:54 |
| somsip | semitones: pipe, like you said. Maybe I'm missing yourpoint? | 00:54 |
| somsip | semitones: eg: | | 00:55 |
| semitones | somsip, but what if I want to add text to that string, and then send it on, how do I add text? | 00:55 |
| SchrodingersScat | semitones: sed? awk? #bash can probably lead you down a delightful path of various ways to do that :3 | 00:55 |
| somsip | semitones: sed possibly | 00:55 |

| bazhang | forresthopkinsa, dont run it | 01:04 |

| loadid_czech | i somehow, disabled my touchpad, with an accidental key combination... does anyone know what combination that may have been? | 01:05 |

| forresthopkinsa | aw crap | 01:07 |
| forresthopkinsa | is there any other way | 01:07 |
| jrib | forresthopkinsa: it's going to be faster than you figuring out the correct ownership. | 01:07 |
| forresthopkinsa | D: | 01:07 |
| forresthopkinsa | I tihnk I just need a way of setting the UID without sudo | 01:07 |
| forresthopkinsa | Or how to LOGIN as root | 01:08 |
| dumb_questions | couldn't you boot from a Live CD and change it? | 01:08 |
| forresthopkinsa | i still cant login as root >.< | 01:08 |
| jrib | forresthopkinsa: you don't know what the owner should be. | 01:08 |
| jrib | forresthopkinsa: (for every file) | 01:08 |
| forresthopkinsa | the owner should be root | 01:08 |
| forresthopkinsa | at UID 0 | 01:08 |
| jrib | forresthopkinsa: for most files, sure. | 01:08 |
| forresthopkinsa | for /etc it must be root | 01:08 |
| Silver_Arrow | If you didn't set the root password already, it's impossible without sudo | 01:08 |
| forresthopkinsa | Silver_Arrow i set the password during install, didnt i | 01:08 |
| jrib | forresthopkinsa: no. There are some files that are not owned by root. The proper solution is to either reinstall or use a known-good reference | 01:08 |
| Silver_Arrow | root is disabled by default | 01:09 |
| forresthopkinsa | :( | 01:09 |
| Silver_Arrow | unless you go out of your way to go back and turn it on | 01:09 |
| forresthopkinsa | alright then. This is extraordinarily inconvenient. | 01:09 |
| forresthopkinsa | What silver? | 01:09 |
| jrib | forresthopkinsa: changing everything to be owned by root will probably work mostly, until you encounter some odd issue down the road. Having said that, I only have files for mpd, couchdb, and privoxy in /etc not owned by root | 01:09 |
| forresthopkinsa | :( | 01:09 |
| forresthopkinsa | I needed WinSCP to have access to the files in /etc | 01:10 |
| forresthopkinsa | thats why I did it | 01:10 |
| jrib | forresthopkinsa: if you really don't want to reinstall, and just want to deal with things that may break as they come, you can just use a live cd or recovery mode | 01:10 |
| forresthopkinsa | aauugghh ok thank | 01:10 |
| forresthopkinsa | ok thank you | 01:10 |
| dumb_questions | forresthopkinsa: can't you boot from a Live CD or persistant USB install where you could log in anc change it back. If not, you coudl create a user in that other environment with the proper ID to have permissions | 01:10 |

| forresthopkinsa | er | 01:10 |
| forresthopkinsa | I dont knowwwwwww I forgot | 01:11 |
| forresthopkinsa | I am very new to this | 01:11 |
| forresthopkinsa | I know what a partition is | 01:11 |
| forresthopkinsa | I am 99% sure my HDD is not partitioned | 01:11 |
| Silver_Arrow | probally not then, if you do go for reinstall back up all your data | 01:11 |
| forresthopkinsa | is you mean THAT kind of partition | 01:11 |
| forresthopkinsa | ok :/ | 01:11 |
| forresthopkinsa | thanks | 01:11 |
| forresthopkinsa | One more thing | 01:11 |
| forresthopkinsa | How do I give WinSCP access without using /chown root | 01:12 |
| jrib | forresthopkinsa: define "access" | 01:12 |

| AcidRain2012 | mount --bind /var/www/dev/ /home/ftp_user/www_dev <---- this does not work without doing chroot_local_user=NO | 01:12 |

| jrib | AcidRain2012: "accessible" is vague. Do you just need apache to be able to read the files there? Because every user has read permissions by default. | 01:15 |

| forresthopkinsa | is that right | 01:16 |
| forresthopkinsa | that was my situation | 01:16 |
| AcidRain2012 | forresthopkinsa, hmmm...... ok. lets say i have a folder: "Uploads" located in /var/www/. i want acidrain to be able to upload, and all other users be able to download and a few users upload | 01:16 |
| forresthopkinsa | upload/download with what | 01:16 |
| forresthopkinsa | should they be able to modify and/or delete files | 01:17 |
| jrib | AcidRain2012: the point of setting up a bind mount is so that the *chrooted* user can access things outside his chroot. | 01:17 |
| forresthopkinsa | alright thanks people for being so helpful. byebye now | 01:17 |
| loadid_czech | Silver_Arrow: are you sure you're not booted up into a different kernel than your default.. could cause some issues like that | 01:17 |
| jrib | why is everyone using ftp all of a sudden instead of just using sftp anyway? | 01:18 |
| loadid_czech | maybe on your reboot it booted into an older kernel that doesn't have the audio modules compiled correctly | 01:18 |

I have sandy bridge. when I do lspci -v and look under the VGA controller for the Intel GPU, it's listed and it says the kernel driver in use is the i915. When I do lsmod, I see for video, it has two modules loaded -- i915, nouveau. Same thing goes for drm, two modules - i915 and nouveau. Is this normal? | 01:58 |
| semitones | hey | 02:00 |
| semitones | so if I make changes to /etc/network/interfaces, what's the command to make them take effect? | 02:00 |

| aj_ | hello folks | 02:05 |
| nrogers64 | Hi guys, I have 12.04 on a laptop and wanted a quick/easy way to turn off the screen without closing the lid and without waiting for it to turn off by itself. I ended up using a simple shell script that sleeps for two seconds and then runs "xset dpms force off" and then I made a Unity taskbar icon (code: http://pastebin.com/gCrt3rgw). I used Terminal=true because with Terminal=false the icon only works once. Why does it only work | 02:05 |
| jrib | AcidRain2012: so just give their user permission on the directory with html; ubottu sent you the permissions page | 02:06 |
| guest__ | hi | 02:06 |
| guest__ | anyone there? | 02:06 |
| nrogers64 | guest__ Yes | 02:06 |
| AcidRain2012 | !me | permissions | 02:06 |
| ubottu | permissions: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots | 02:06 |
| guest__ | so im trying to boot fedora on my pc via usb and i keep getting this error http://imgur.com/XUvFo24 | 02:06 |
| jrib | !permissions | AcidRain2012 | 02:06 |
| AcidRain2012 | ah, make it send again | 02:06 |
| ubottu | AcidRain2012: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 02:06 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | AcidRain2012: you wont really beable to do that, ftp is insecure (plain text passwords). you should just use a https file interface | 02:07 |
| wilee-nilee | guest__, fedora has there own channel | 02:07 |
| holstein | nrogers64: what errors do you get in the terminal if you run it? | 02:07 |
| AcidRain2012 | Whiskey`Wonka, so what is the most up to date GUI secure method? | 02:07 |
| guest__ | anyone know the reason why? | 02:07 |
| jrib | AcidRain2012: you can just let them use sftp with, for example, winscp on windows | 02:07 |
| guest__ | r/fedora ? | 02:07 |
| wilee-nilee | !fedora | 02:07 |
| ubottu | Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) | 02:07 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | AcidRain2012: i would need to know a lot more about your real needs | 02:07 |
| AcidRain2012 | jrib, im gonna look up winscp. havent seen a windows logo in about 7 yrs now | 02:07 |
| dumb_questions | ok, ran the boot repair on my VM. I selected the correct disk and don't get an error now. Instsead it boots to a black screen with a single cursor and just hangs. Here's the URL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6030935/ | 02:08 |
| jrib | AcidRain2012: I assumed you needed a windows client | 02:08 |
| AcidRain2012 | jrib, i assume the world outside of me uses windows. lol | 02:08 |
| jrib | ok | 02:08 |
| wilee-nilee | guest__, /j #fedora it is not supported here. ;) | 02:08 |
| nrogers64 | holstein: I don't get an error. The thing I don't like about having Terminal=true is that even though the icon always works, it's kind of ugly having a blank terminal window open before the screen turns off. When Terminal=false, the icon still works, but only once. I'm guessing the terminal opened by the icon is still running in the background | 02:09 |
| AcidRain2012 | Whiskey`Wonka, my needs are to allow certain users to ftp into /var/www/FOLDER and have full access/permissions. i also want to allow ALL users to have read permissions on all of my external hdds | 02:09 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | wow thats ... | 02:09 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | use FS2Web i think its caled | 02:09 |
| holstein | nrogers64: sounds plausible.. you might look into some other way to issue that command.. a script the shortcut references | 02:10 |
| AcidRain2012 | Whiskey`Wonka, now will that also allow ALL users to upload to a folder called 'Uploads' on all external hdds? | 02:10 |
| nrogers64 | holstein: The script already is referencing a script. Exec=/home/nrogers64/Documents/monitor-off.sh | 02:10 |
| nrogers64 | holstein: Sorry, I meant the *shortcut* already is referencing a script | 02:11 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | it has a lot of config options, last i used it it was just ot get files inhttp://www.macvendorlookup.com/to my smarttv that didnt like my dlna server | 02:11 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | ba | 02:11 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | sorry dumped the clipboard | 02:11 |
| AcidRain2012 | Whiskey`Wonka, yea im reading about it. not sure i like that method. im going to do more research on sftp and see what type of gui clients we have | 02:12 |
| holstein | nrogers64: i think the answer will be in what error you are getting in the terminal when running the command.. if there is none, then the shortcut is the issue.. and the run in terminal option may be the "best" way to deal with it | 02:12 |
| nrogers64 | holstein: Yeah, there is no error | 02:12 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | you will not be happy with sftp, mostly cause it has crap clients on phones | 02:13 |
| nrogers64 | holstein: I guess I was basically just wondering if I was doing something wrong. I guess not, though, so I'll leave it the way it is. It's ugly, but it works | 02:13 |
| holstein | nrogers64: no error message? or no problem at all? | 02:13 |
| dumb_questions | wilee-nilee, Dr_willis: did you see the URL? | 02:13 |

| AcidRain2012 | http://kpdirection.com/technology/setting-up-sftp-on-ubuntu/ <--- ill be following this guide, and binding folders as needed | 02:15 |
| nrogers64 | holstein: Manually running "xset dpms force off" in a termal window works just fine. It turns the monitor off and doesn't have any errors. Clicking on the taskbar icon that I made for the script also works, but with Terminal=false, it only works once. If I wake the monitor back up and then click the icon again, nothing happens | 02:15 |

Skype works with video but no voice Gnome-sound-recorder no audio what is wrong? | 02:30 |
| dumb_questions | dr_willis: yeah. In this case they're overly paranoid and it's a business server. They want to feel like they're as protected as possible. Still, they bought a consumer machine to use as the server. Sometimes I just don't get it. | 02:32 |
| wilee-nilee | {bosco}, You probably have to go through the sound settings to see if you are set up correctly. | 02:33 |
| {bosco} | wilee-nilee: i have already went through alsamixer and nothing wrong there | 02:33 |
| dumb_questions | dr_willis: sorry I'm new to this. I can't set any boot settings on this install. This does not work: To set kernel boot options, you must edit your grub configuration. You can do this temporarily for a single boot by entering the grub menu. If you do not get to see the grub boot menu after the bios automatically, you may have to press SHIFT key after the bios logo to get in to grub: | 02:34 |
| wilee-nilee | {bosco}, not the alsa mixer but the sound settings gui I have a logitech I forget what I had to do, as far as skype its not the best in linux generally, I always used windows. | 02:35 |
| Dr_willis | dumb_questions, if grub is hidden Hold shift to edit the options. or boot into the os and unhide it by default and edit /etc/default/grub as needed normally. | 02:35 |
| Dr_willis | dumb_questions, so DO you see a grub menu with or without holding shift? | 02:36 |
| dumb_questions | dr_willis: I did as those instrcutions say and held shift. no difference at all. I'm not sure what you mean to boot into the OS and unhide it -- machine doesn't boot at all, taht's my problem. I could boot from a live CD, would that do it? | 02:36 |
| wilee-nilee | dumb_questions, The script showed no grub bootloader in the mbr, and an error trying to put it there. | 02:37 |
| dumb_questions | dr_willis: I get nothing. I get the virtual box intro screen that says to hit f12 for boot options and then it goes straight to black with single cursor | 02:37 |
| dumb_questions | wilee-nilee: Trying to learn this. Where do you see that and what do I do to fix it? | 02:37 |
| Dr_willis | dumb_questions, virtualbox? hmm.. so this is a image of a real system you are trying to boot in vbox? | 02:38 |
| dumb_questions | wilee-nilee: I see the error at the top (line 4) but don't kow what I do.. | 02:38 |

| Dr_willis | dumb_questions, and its best to avoid webmin. | 02:42 |

| wilee-nilee | dumb_questions, Not sure to be honest, when I read that tar instructions it looked like something I would not even attempt personally, since there are easier ways, and could easily be run without a complete understanding. | 02:42 |
| Dr_willis | dumb_questions, boot a ubuntu iso or a boot-repair iso in the vm and try the boot-repair tool inside the vm to setup a proper bootloader for the system | 02:43 |

| Dr_willis | dumb_questions, clonezilla would be a lot easier way to backup a system. | 02:43 |
| dumb_questions | dr_willis: that's what I did. I booted from a live CD ISO and ran it as root. | 02:44 |
| wilee-nilee | dumb_questions, Dr_willis mentioned one as far as the system backup with a dd, I would have used clonezilla myself. | 02:44 |
| dumb_questions | dr_Willis: agreed. However, they want multiple versions. ON a 2TB drive they can save months of backups. | 02:44 |
| Dr_willis | dumb_questions, clonezilla i belive has features for that sort of suff | 02:45 |
| wilee-nilee | dumb_questions, Problem as well is this a backup from a computer and not a vm you are trying to boot? | 02:45 |
| dumb_questions | dr_willis, wilee-nilee: a little mroe info: They gave me an Ext. HDD with backups and said, "Please be sure our bakcups are good." | 02:45 |
| delinquentme | so I'm attempting to use | 02:45 |
| Dr_willis | and how did they make the backups? | 02:45 |
| delinquentme | sshfs carl@dopamine:/home/carl/www ~/www ... and getting a complaint from bash that fuse: bad mount point `/home/thrive/www': No such file or directory | 02:45 |
| dumb_questions | I plan to change around the backup scheme soon, but for now this is what I have. They tar / and exclude a few items. | 02:46 |
| delinquentme | I thought sshfs is supposed to make that dir when it establishes the connection | 02:46 |
| Dr_willis | dumb_questions, so the UUID's for all the drives are totally different. you will need to check fstab and the grub files after booting that live cd i imagine | 02:46 |
| wilee-nilee | dumb_questions, I will say though this is a very limited area for me, I know how to read that script quite well, however as it gets more complex Dr_willis is much more knowledgeable in any area I know for sure. ;) | 02:49 |
| dumb_questions | dr_willis: and from those instructions I thought this was going to be relatively painless--- goes to show you.. | 02:49 |
| dumb_questions | wilee-nilee: got me beat all-around. good catch on the failed script. I figured, "Heck, it's linux. I can just unpack the files, mount the drive, point to it and go." so much for that. | 02:50 |
| wilee-nilee | when done right it basically is | 02:50 |
| AcidRain2012 | where are the server logs for sshd located? | 02:51 |
| Dr_willis | Its the bootloader and configs you are having an issue with right nopw. not the OS | 02:51 |
| dumb_questions | dr_willis, wilee-nilee: I'm booting from a live cd iso again and will see if I can't configure Grub manually using those instructions. | 02:51 |
| wilee-nilee | dumb_questions, I like clonezilla it save the bootloader, a generally easy fix but seems to a bit harder in these circumstances. | 02:52 |
| wilee-nilee | saves* | 02:52 |
| wilee-nilee | you might just need to chroot it yourself from the live cd | 02:52 |
| dumb_questions | wilee-nilee: I'll do more looking at clonezilla. Seems more efficient space-wise to use rdriff-backup that way I can store many months of backups without using much space. | 02:53 |
| dumb_questions | wilee-nilee: you mean like this? sudo -s | 02:54 |
| dumb_questions | for f in dev dev/pts proc ; do mount --bind /$f /media/whatever/$f ; done | 02:54 |
| dumb_questions | chroot /media/whatever | 02:54 |
| dumb_questions | dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc | 02:54 |
| dumb_questions | dang cut-paste of line breaks | 02:54 |
| delinquentme | so im attempting to run sublime text | 02:57 |
| Alviur | Hi, Do you know some program to serial communication between ubuntu and microcontrollers? | 02:59 |
| dumb_questions | dr_willis, wilee-nilee: I'm really failing at understanding grub. I'm trying those commands and getting nowhere. This means almost nothign to me and I don't know how to troubleshoot. I assume I need to change paths, but not sure which and to what. for f in dev dev/pts proc ; do mount --bind /$f /media/whatever/$f ; done | 03:01 |

| sepero | pie_image.jpg | 03:02 |
| sepero | pie_image.jpg | 03:02 |
| Dr_willis | if you mounted the system to /mnt/ and chroot /mnt/ it would be 'cd /' (thats the root of the CHROOTED system now) and then do the commands | 03:03 |
| AcidRain2012 | where is the transmission binary file located? when clicking on a torrent link it asks me to choose an application. transmission, nor anything else, is listed | 03:03 |
| dumb_questions | my first step was "sudo -s" is that what you mean? | 03:03 |
| Dr_willis | dumb_questions, that just gave you a root shell. | 03:03 |
| === MartinS is now known as Guest35184 | ||
| dumb_questions | gotcha. I bet it's not currently mounted. Silly me | 03:03 |
| Dr_willis | I dont recall ever needing such a command when i repaired grub in the psat. | 03:03 |
| Dr_willis | past | 03:03 |
| dumb_questions | nope, it is. just now where I thought | 03:03 |
| Dr_willis | the command you pasted dosent make a lot of sence to me really. i just recall putting /proc/ and /dev/ in the chrooted location | 03:04 |
| dumb_questions | dr_willis: you just made my night. I was having trouble making heads-or-tails of that. Thougth I was just dumb | 03:05 |
| Dr_willis | the arch linux wiki pages may have a slightly clearer guide on chrooting and repairing grub. but it wont be ubuntu specific | 03:06 |
| Dr_willis | i recall you dont even have to chroot these days. 'update-grub' has some option to tell it where the hd is at. | 03:06 |
| dumb_questions | you'd think that reapir util could do it (and I think it tried, but failed | 03:07 |
| WACOMalt | hello folks. I am having trouble with sensors/pwmconfig/fancontrol. my fan runs too slow and I can run it much faster in windows. I am on a laptop (HP Elitebook 8540w) I have downloaded sensors, and when I run pwmconfig I get an error about not finding any pwm sensors. Fancontrol gives an error about no config files and that I need to run pwmconfig. This fan is easily controllable on windows via a utility called HWinfo32 | 03:07 |
| Dr_willis | boot-repair tool can make a rather verbose log of what its done and any errors it had found | 03:08 |
| Dr_willis | ive rarely had it fail. but for all we know your 'backups' may be missing critical files | 03:08 |
| dumb_questions | I pasted that link before. | 03:08 |
| dumb_questions | you nailed exactly why we're going through this excercise. | 03:09 |
| wilee-nilee | WACOMalt, You installed lm-sensors? | 03:09 |
| WACOMalt | yes | 03:09 |
| dumb_questions | if it helps any I can show you the command to back up. Not sure what is best at this point. I just ran into another error: chroot: fialed to run command '/bin/bash': exec format error" | 03:09 |
| wilee-nilee | WACOMalt, sounded like you had just checking. | 03:09 |
| WACOMalt | no problem, thanks | 03:10 |
| Dr_willis | mount the system. (i guess you did) cd to the mountpoint and see if theres a bin/bash file and other system directories | 03:11 |
| Dr_willis | exec format error - sounds like the binary is bad. | 03:11 |
| dumb_questions | dr_willis: i see /bin/bash | 03:13 |
| WACOMalt | /usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed Can anyone help with this? | 03:13 |
| iconex | can I help you ? | 03:13 |
| dumb_questions | received that exec error when I tried to run the next command ton that list: chroot /media/whatever (changed to the mounted location) | 03:13 |
| Dr_willis | you arent using a 32bit iso file/live cd - to work on a 64bit install? or visa versa are you? | 03:14 |
| wilee-nilee | dumb_questions, This is what I have used when chrooting it defaults to it line 8 is the actual chroot, Dr_willis may be right as far as missing fixes or broken a broken binary so this is just another chroot method. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot | 03:16 |
| dumb_questions | dr_willis: sadly, I don't know what their install is. I have ISOs for either. | 03:17 |
| Dr_willis | you really dont need to chroot to reinstall grub these days. you need to be sure to use the same 'bitness' live cd as the system you are trying to fix also. | 03:17 |
| Dr_willis | virtualbox can do both 32 and 64bit I belive these days. I wonder if THAT may be the issue.. if its a 64bit install and you are using 32bit vbox. | 03:18 |
| Dr_willis | or visa-versa | 03:18 |
| wilee-nilee | true I have not chrooted for a long time, I have seen it needed for really unknown reasons by other users. | 03:18 |
| wilee-nilee | I rarely have to fix grub, when I do I use supergrub to get in | 03:19 |
| dumb_questions | I wonder if you're right. I'll see which cd I'm booting from and switch it up. In fact, I've just been picking one each time and think one time I saw an error about i386 vs x64 and just picked another ISO. I'll give that a run | 03:20 |

| dumb_questions | wilee-nilee, dr_willis: just ran boot-repair and it worked this time. rebooting... | 03:49 |
| dumb_questions | and I have grub... | 03:51 |
| wilee-nilee | heh cool | 03:51 |
| dumb_questions | of course it says the disks weren't properly unmounted (duh) and it's runnign a check. | 03:52 |
| wilee-nilee | holy fsck batman | 03:53 |

| dumb_questions | now I can see how corrupted their mysql databases are using this method (they don't shut down connections to them before they tar thewhole thing. | 03:55 |

| wilee-nilee | glad you got it figured out | 03:56 |
| exported | so why do peoples ip's show on this server? | 03:56 |
| wilee-nilee | you need a mask to block it | 03:57 |
| dumb_questions | wilee-nilee: glad you and dr_willis got it figured out. Thanks again. | 03:57 |
| exported | i know you need a mask it just seems like it should already be masked right? | 03:57 |
| wilee-nilee | exported, I would ask in #freenode | 03:57 |
| dumb_questions | btw, the problem was I'm dumb. 64-bit guest OSes wouldn't boot because I had hardware virtualization off in teh bios. Doh. | 03:57 |
| dumb_questions | wilee-nilee: now looking ahead. how would you handle this? All is one one partition at this point. They use this server for shared documents and for SugarCRM (so php, mysql, apache). I want to plan for quick recovery should the whole place catch fire. So, should i have multiple partitions on the internal drive? Seems like that's obvious. Then I can choose to recover the entire contents or just | 04:01 |
| dumb_questions | the partitions holding applications and /or user files. | 04:01 |
| AcidRain2012 | what if we recoded this channels conversations since it first started. line for line. then when someone asked a question, it would reply relevant lines in order to the users statements. and they had a conversation with a bot, made up of conversations weve had combine. good idea eh | 04:02 |
| wilee-nilee | dumb_questions, I have never messed with a server I just clone my OS's on occasion to save time, I actually have everything off the computer on externals in general. | 04:02 |
| dumb_questions | acitrain2012: sounds like Google mixed with a sales rep from a cable provider. I just threw up a little in my mouth. | 04:03 |
| wilee-nilee | dumb_questions, But I save the sources.list and sources.list.d and the installed apps and any extra keys to do a fast install if needed. | 04:03 |
| dumb_questions | thanks,wilee-nilee. Time for bed. Got a lot to learn. They're looking at moving to a hosted CMS and then they should move to a simple NAS methinks. At taht point they have less to worry about and might save a lot of money. | 04:04 |

| anonee | hello, any idea about how to have different icons in each workspace? I tried AWN but it didn't work as I expected, no icons are showing at all, if there's a good guide that I can follow? | 06:29 |
| krz | i have a file ~ | 06:30 |
| krz | what the hell is that? | 06:30 |
| ikonia | krz: just the name of a file | 06:30 |
| krz | dont recall creating it | 06:30 |
| ikonia | probably a typo as ~ = /home/$username | 06:30 |
| krz | i cant rm ~ | 06:30 |
| ikonia | krz: rm \~ | 06:30 |
| ikonia | krz: need to escape it | 06:31 |
| krz | ah thanks | 06:31 |
| anonee | i think the whole idea of having multiple workspaces with the same icons in each one is pointless! just please let me know if there's a proper way to change that! | 06:31 |
| Fender | Hi there, I have a big problem and I have no clue as to what this is about: Since yesterday some weird things dont work anymore on my Ubuntu PCs: Firefox and Chromium on JS sites (takes ages), sending eMails, Dropbox | 06:31 |
| Fender | I write this here because on my old XP laptop the stuff still works | 06:31 |
| krz | ah must have created it accidently using tmux | 06:31 |
| ikonia | kedder: common reason | 06:31 |
| Fender | but I have no clue what connects these things so I dont know what to look for | 06:32 |
| Fender | maybe its not JS but HTTPS | 06:32 |

| ikonia | PapaSierra that is not a service thats why | 08:21 |

| ziadingo | i am istall apache php but does'nt work htaccess | 08:22 |
| PapaSierra | ikonia: php5-fpm has nothing to do with apache | 08:22 |
| ikonia | PapaSierra it's a module loaded by apache | 08:22 |
| guest-fP2wi8 | wilee-nilee, I suppose it's just a configuration that got messed up | 08:22 |
| starnix | Hello people! | 08:22 |

| travisc | Is there someone here that wouldn't mind answering a few questions about Ubuntu installation, regarding using the lvm and full disk encryption? I have two hard drives but I want them both to be encrypted as one logical volume, but i think this goes beyond what the auto installer is capable of. I don't need to be spoon fed, just want to know if it is possible and like a general idea of were to look in the man to learn and figure it out. | 08:23 |
| wilee-nilee | guest-fP2wi8, Ah, the plot thickens. | 08:23 |
| ikonia | PapaSierra: are you currently running it on nginx now ? | 08:23 |
| starnix | Why I can't see gedit, preferences in my edit tab? Can somebody help? | 08:23 |
| guest-fP2wi8 | wilee-nilee, xD | 08:23 |
| wilee-nilee | starnix, In gedit edit | 08:24 |
| PapaSierra | ikonia: they are two completely separate things. but yes, nginx is connecting to the php5-fpm service | 08:24 |
| wilee-nilee | starnix, Hmm not there? | 08:24 |
| ikonia | PapaSierra ok, so you're actually trying to run it standalone rather than through the web server, correct ? | 08:24 |
| starnix | wilee-nilee, yep its not there! | 08:24 |
| wilee-nilee | starnix, You in your regular account? | 08:25 |
| PapaSierra | ikonia: well yeah, i think so. i.e. it can start and stop and the webserver can do so independently | 08:25 |
| ikonia | PapaSierra: , so yes you're trying to run it externally rather than as part of the web server | 08:25 |
| imdea | Hi, I have an app that would like to start up at boot time, but I don't know if it's the same procedure (and script type than in Debian for example) or if it's different since Ubuntu uses upstart instead of sysv-init | 08:25 |
| ikonia | PapaSierra: ok, so in that case, you need to know if there is an init script provided for it in the package, or if you need to wrap it in a startup script your self | 08:26 |
| starnix | wha does it mean by regular account, wilee-nilee ? I have only one user account on this laptop. | 08:26 |
| PapaSierra | ikonia: here's the full story. i was on 12.04 and it installed php 5.3.10 which segfaults every few hours. so i want to install > 5.3.10. i installed 5.4 and it refused to start (using dotdeb ppa) | 08:26 |
| ikonia | PapaSierra: how did you install php 5.4 ? | 08:27 |
| wilee-nilee | starnix, Thats the one, just guessing maybe a guest account with limitations, never seen this. | 08:27 |
| PapaSierra | so now i changed the server to raring hoping it has newer php packages | 08:27 |
| ikonia | PapaSierra: 5.4 is not in 12.04 | 08:27 |
| ikonia | ahh you used a PPA | 08:27 |
| ikonia | sorry, missed that in my initial read | 08:27 |
| starnix | wilee-nilee, okay, its gnome 3.8 it that help!! | 08:27 |
| starnix | *if | 08:27 |
| ikonia | PapaSierra: so what is your current OS version ? | 08:27 |
| ikonia | just to clarify | 08:27 |
| guest-fP2wi8 | wilee-nilee, found no crash report in Xorg.log | 08:27 |
| PapaSierra | ikonia: exactly. that's why i used the dotdeb ppa. anyway, that's all history now because threw away that server and now i have a raring server | 08:27 |
| PapaSierra | 13.04 | 08:27 |
| guest-fP2wi8 | wilee-nilee, and apport.log is empty | 08:27 |
| wilee-nilee | starnix, That may be the problem , this from a ppa, what release are you running? | 08:28 |
| ikonia | PapaSierra: ok, so now you need to look if the package you've installed provided an init/upstart script - or if you have to wrap it your self. | 08:28 |
| starnix | wilee-nilee, 13.04 | 08:28 |
| wilee-nilee | starnix, YOu might install leafpad and see if it works | 08:28 |
| PapaSierra | ikonia: funny thing is it always using to provide a init script on 12.04, but it seems to have lost that functionality. and i'm not experienced enough to know how to provide one | 08:29 |
| wilee-nilee | starnix, 3.8 is from a ppa though. | 08:29 |
| nowayride | Er PapaSierra did you apt-get install php5-fpm? Because service php5-fpm restart works on 12.04 server | 08:29 |
| wilee-nilee | its in 13.10 | 08:29 |
| PapaSierra | nowayride: apt-get install --yes php5-fpm php5-mysql php5-curl php5-cli php5-mcrypt php5-gd php-apc | 08:30 |
| nowayride | Should be a script in /etc/init.d/php5-fpm | 08:30 |
| ikonia | PapaSierra: lets check something stupid, ls -la /etc/init.d/php5-fpm | 08:30 |
| PapaSierra | but we're on 13.04 not 12 | 08:30 |
| ikonia | I don't expect that to be there though | 08:30 |
| starnix | wilee-nilee, yeah its from ppa, what is leafpad? | 08:30 |
| PapaSierra | ikonia: no, it's not there | 08:30 |
| imdea | anyone? :S | 08:30 |
| ikonia | PapaSierra: ok, that's actually not a bad thing | 08:30 |
| PapaSierra | nor is nginx which i also need as a server | 08:30 |
| wilee-nilee | starnix, a even better text app | 08:30 |
| PapaSierra | service* | 08:30 |
| ikonia | imdea: saying anyone is pointless | 08:30 |
| ikonia | PapaSierra: no, it's probably upstart jobs now | 08:30 |
| nowayride | PapaSierra: ls /etc/init.d/php5-fpm doesn't show anything? | 08:31 |
| theadmin | What's the Ubuntu update policy for Chromium? It's stuck on 28.x for now, is it intended or is an upgrade just being delayed? | 08:31 |
| imdea | ikonia: what? | 08:31 |
| PapaSierra | nowayride: correct, the instal didn't create it, nor nginx | 08:31 |
| ikonia | imdea: saying anyone is pointless | 08:31 |
| ikonia | nowayride: it shouldn't contain an init script any more | 08:31 |
| imdea | ikonia: I don't know what do you mean. | 08:31 |
| ikonia | as in old system V init | 08:31 |
| PapaSierra | ikonia: ok, i literally know nothing about upstart. except it's an event based service manager (i think) | 08:31 |
| starnix | wilee-nilee, is it customizable? like color schemes fonts hilightmode etc..? | 08:31 |
| PapaSierra | so how would i get started? | 08:32 |
| ikonia | imdea: saying "anyone" to the chanel, is pointless, as it means nothing to anyone | 08:32 |
| ikonia | PapaSierra: so we need to first check if an upstart job is provided, hopefully it will be | 08:32 |
| PapaSierra | how would i do that? | 08:32 |

| [[thufir]] | theadmin: hmm, ok. thaks | 08:45 |
| reisio | ikonia: someone suggested pkexec | 08:45 |

| ikonia | ziadingo well, that's surprised me quite a lot, I was expecting a vps. | 08:46 |
| ikonia | ziadingo: so "someone" has changed the permissons on your sudoers file, | 08:47 |
| ziadingo | but why does'nt work? 0777 its bad? | 08:47 |
| ikonia | ziadingo: the sudors file needs specific permissions | 08:48 |
| reisio | ziadingo: 777 means a lot more people can read/write it than should be able to :) | 08:48 |
| theadmin | ziadingo: 777 on sudoers? You *must* be kidding. | 08:48 |
| ziadingo | ne | 08:48 |
| ziadingo | nope | 08:48 |
| reisio | it's not an airplane or holy, after all :p | 08:48 |

| ziadingo | it true | 08:48 |

| ikonia | Eagleman: as in whatever cherrypy manages | 09:00 |

Is there a way for me to look at the hard drive contents for the correct kernel at the boot menu or do I need to boot to a live cd and | 09:06 |
| John83 | look at the hard drive contents? | 09:06 |
| theadmin | linuxearth: Sure, just File -> Save As from Libreoffice which comes with Ubuntu | 09:06 |
| linuxearth | oh | 09:06 |
| linuxearth | though .doc is windows format | 09:06 |
| linuxearth | i hope it would still work in ubuntu | 09:06 |

| reisio | caf4926: you can just blacklist the module and banish it from your mind | 09:12 |

| BananaBob | or her :) | 09:17 |
| caf4926 | theadmin: explain please | 09:17 |
| theadmin | caf4926: The Ubuntu installer has an "OEM" mode, which can be used if you plan to give the machine to someone else. Basically, it creates a temporary user, you configure the system, then you click "Prepare for shipping" and it removes that user and lets the customer create a new one on the installed system already | 09:18 |

| caf4926 | theadmin: video 19652 2 i915, nouveau | 09:25 |
| theadmin | caf4926: Okay, this basically means both drivers are active, the first one is in use though -- the Intel driver | 09:25 |
| caf4926 | theadmin: so it should be OK | 09:26 |
| caf4926 | theadmin: seems to be working OK | 09:26 |
| theadmin | caf4926: Yes, may I ask why you don't want the NVidia driver active? They tend to give better performance... | 09:27 |

| caf4926 | theadmin: yes | 09:28 |
| theadmin | caf4926: If it is, you need Bumblebee (which isn't officially supported by Ubuntu, so may be best to avoid) | 09:28 |
| caf4926 | theadmin: I thought so | 09:28 |
| theadmin | caf4926: Works fine here though :D | 09:28 |

| yellabs-r2 | what can i use these day's to build an locale version of ubuntu ( nl - dutch ) | 09:54 |
| theadmin | reisio: Well, having a root password isn't exactly "insecure" by definition, but it's a flawed access management architecture. You'd give out your root password to everyone who wants to be able to run admin tasks? | 09:55 |
| yellabs-r2 | or is there such a version out there already ? | 09:55 |
| reisio | yellabs-r2: /msg ubottu locale | 09:55 |

| Guest50981 | reisio, hm. is it GUI app | 10:03 |
| === Dave is now known as Guest64823 | ||
| reisio | nope | 10:03 |
| reisio | wouldn't be surprised if there are GUI frontends for using it as a screencaster, though | 10:03 |
| Guest50981 | reisio, is there a GUI for it? | 10:03 |
| reisio | nope | 10:04 |
| theadmin | Guest50981: You can use Kazam. It's not based on FFMpeg, but it does the job really, really well | 10:04 |
| theadmin | Guest50981: Can record from mic and from speakers, or both | 10:04 |
| theadmin | Guest50981: Well and desktop | 10:04 |
| Guest50981 | reisio, i used recorditnow for ffmpeg, it doesnt keeps the ratio sequience of the audio and video. theadmin | 10:04 |
| reisio | theadmin: isn't it based on it? | 10:05 |
| theadmin | reisio: Nah, uses GStreamer somehow but not ffmpeg | 10:05 |
| reisio | that's probably just for the audio? | 10:06 |
| theadmin | reisio: Yeah maybe :D It doesn't depend on ffmpeg though so | 10:06 |
| Guest50981 | theadmin, reisio something tells me that you would not recommend the recorditnow with ffmpeg contrary to mos of others recommendations | 10:06 |
| theadmin | Guest50981: Try kazam, really. Is good. | 10:06 |
| Guest50981 | theadmin, ok | 10:07 |
| reisio | http://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/How%20to%20grab%20the%20desktop%20%28screen%29%20with%20FFmpeg audio too | 10:07 |
| reisio | theadmin: hrmmm, does it depend on libav? :p | 10:07 |
| reisio | I don't know, you can make a GUI to an ffmpeg command in a few minutes | 10:08 |
| theadmin | reisio: Nope :P | 10:08 |
| reisio | the GUIs for screencasters tend to just be start buttons anyways | 10:08 |
| reisio | not even stop ones, as displaying those would clutter the screen | 10:08 |

| reisio | Ashael: if you boot up your ubuntu install image, you can do 'try' instead of 'install' and fix things | 10:15 |

| reisio | Ashael: maybe | 10:16 |
| Ashael | bah. | 10:16 |
| Guest50981 | reisio, yes | 10:16 |
| reisio | Ashael: you can re/set one or scramble it from the install media | 10:16 |
| Ashael | i have no idea what it may be, and why it's not what I think it is. | 10:16 |

| varun | I am not able to access internet through firefox , when i'm running firefox from GUI. But when running firefox from terminal with sudo internet is working absolutely fine | 10:18 |
| reisio | varun: over wireless? | 10:19 |
| varun | ethernet | 10:19 |
| reisio | varun: look in its menu, make sure it's not in that daft offline mode | 10:19 |
| varun | but internet is working on same firefox with sudo | 10:19 |
| varun | Even other browsers are not working | 10:20 |
| varun | i've tried midori chromium | 10:20 |
| varun | none of them is working | 10:20 |

| reisio | oh okay | 10:21 |
| reisio | is network manager running? | 10:21 |
| varun | No updates . I m using ubutu 12.04 lts | 10:21 |
| Guest50981 | reisio, no | 10:21 |
| varun | yes | 10:21 |
| varun | its already running | 10:21 |
| reisio | varun: might need to edit its prefs as root | 10:22 |

| reisio | run its gui configurator as root | 10:23 |
| reisio | dpkg -L network-manager | grep -i bin | 10:23 |
| Guest50981 | reisio, any other guess? | 10:23 |
| reisio | dpkg -L network-manager-gnome | grep -i bin | 10:24 |
| reisio | something like that should tell you what it is | 10:24 |
| reisio | Guest50981: could be a real bug :) | 10:24 |
| varun | its showing | 10:24 |
| varun | /usr/bin | 10:25 |
| varun | /usr/bin/nm-applet | 10:25 |
| reisio | actually it should probably just ask you for the keyring password if you click on the applet as your ordinary user | 10:25 |
| varun | /usr/bin/nm-connection-editor | 10:25 |
| reisio | look for that checkbox for allowing any user to use a connection | 10:25 |

| ubuntivity | Hi, is it true that Richard Stallman said that Ubuntu has spyware?! | 10:27 |
| reisio | think so | 10:27 |
| reisio | he probably said it "is" spyware | 10:27 |
| ubuntivity | And how much is it related to reality? | 10:28 |
| visualise | chromium = spyware | 10:28 |
| reisio | ubuntivity: Ubuntu comes with software that helps commercial organizations sell you things | 10:28 |
| rbnielsen | reisio, I seem to remember experiencing some time ago, that installing something from apt, and when running it gave me a similar error. I looked up what python package it was missing, installed it, and then it worked. I actually think it was gnuplot (oddly enough). | 10:28 |
| reisio | visualise: that's chrome | 10:28 |
| varun | hey i m not able to get anything | 10:28 |
| reisio | varun: ? | 10:28 |
| varun | After tping those commands | 10:28 |

| ubuntivity | I always hated those ads in Ubuntu software center | 10:29 |
| reisio | rbnielsen: right, which would be a bug :) | 10:29 |
| reisio | ubuntivity: you and Stallman might get along, then :) | 10:29 |
| ubuntivity | I wouldn't take it as far as calling it "spyware"! | 10:29 |
| varun | /usr/bin , /usr/bin/nm-applet, /usr/bin/nm-connection-editor | 10:29 |
| rbnielsen | I'd rather say an error in package dependencies, than bug. ;) | 10:29 |
| reisio | ubuntivity: yeah I'd just call it super annoying awfulware | 10:30 |
| reisio | but it is a privacy concern | 10:30 |

| reisio | 'spyware' is not really an inappropriate label | 10:30 |
| Mancent | I used rsync to copy /home/ to my USB a few days ago, now when I want to make a re-backup, how can I make rsync skip files that are already on the USB? | 10:30 |

| reisio | varun: hi | 10:30 |
| Mancent | I used rsync to copy /home/ to my USB a few days ago, now when I want to make a re-backup, how can I make rsync skip files that are already on the USB? | 10:30 |
| reisio | Mancent: same rsync command you used before | 10:31 |
| varun | what can be the issue here | 10:31 |
| ubuntivity | I think both sides should reconsider: Canonical should purify Ubuntu, and Stallman should take a less agressive and more constructive approach.. | 10:31 |
| Mancent | reisio: I used rsync /home/mancent /media/zrk | 10:31 |
| varun | reisio : is this an issue related to permissions | 10:31 |
| reisio | ubuntivity: doubt that'll happen, Canonical is a for profit company itself | 10:31 |
| reisio | varun: could be, seems a mere configuration issue | 10:31 |
| Mancent | reisio: if I do that again, it won't skip files, it'll keep writing the files again in a different folder. | 10:31 |
| reisio | varun: something you could _try_ is create a new user, log in as that user, and see if networking works | 10:31 |
| reisio | varun: if it does, that would imply a user-specific corruption or misconfiguration | 10:32 |
| reisio | as opposed to merely only-root working | 10:32 |
| ubuntivity | reisio: I'm really interested to hear your personal opinion towards ubuntu... | 10:32 |
| varun | reisio: i created a new user but same issue there too | 10:32 |
| reisio | Mancent: rsync -a is what most people use | 10:32 |
| Mancent | ? | 10:32 |
| gordonjcp | !ot | ubuntivity | 10:32 |

| slikts | reisio: or git | 10:32 |
| Mancent | reisio: I want rsync to skip files that are already on the USB, and copy files over the USB that are not already there. | 10:33 |
| slikts | is there something nicer to use than postfix or sendmail for sending and receiving emails? | 10:33 |
| Mancent | any parameter for that, reisio? | 10:33 |
| slikts | Mancent: that's what it does with -a | 10:33 |
| * ubuntivity would be interesting in finding reisio on #ubuntu-offtopic | 10:33 | |
| reisio | Mancent: I'm pretty sure you can run the same command | 10:34 |
| Mancent | alright, it's copying the files again. | 10:34 |
| Mancent | it's not skipping. | 10:34 |
| reisio | Mancent: what makes you think it's no skipping? | 10:34 |
| varun | resisio : can u help ?? | 10:34 |
| reisio | varun: haven't I been? | 10:34 |
| Mancent | reisio: it's copying over files, that are already on the USB. | 10:34 |
| Mancent | as I stated above. | 10:34 |
| varun | because i tried all the things that u just told | 10:35 |

| reisio | varun: that's all I've got ATM | 10:35 |

| Mancent | reisio: what does -a mean? | 10:35 |
| slikts | Mancent: archive | 10:35 |
| slikts | Mancent: read rsync manpage | 10:35 |
| Mancent | slikts: does it skip files that are already on the USB? | 10:35 |
| reisio | Mancent: pretty sure it does that by default | 10:35 |
| Mancent | reisio: it doesn't. | 10:35 |
| slikts | Mancent: how about you look at the manpage | 10:35 |
| reisio | Mancent: pretty sure it does | 10:35 |
| reisio | although you need to use the exact same command | 10:36 |

| usr13 | universal: http://askubuntu.com/questions/292995/configure-screensaver-in-13-04 | 11:17 |
| universal | what about locking and logout ? reisio | 11:18 |
| Guest50981 | reisio, despite what ever ext i give it. what would be the actual output formate? e.g if i give it .somebogusext | 11:18 |
| usr13 | universal: Install gnome-screensaver for locking as well. | 11:19 |
| reisio | Guest50981: it makes educated guesses, if you make up an extension I assume it will either fail or use some basic raw format | 11:19 |
| usr13 | universal: Screen locking is a function of screensaver | 11:19 |
| universal | usr13: locking without screensaver ? | 11:20 |
| universal | and any inbuilt way of doing it than installing gnome-screensaver ? | 11:20 |
| usr13 | universal: Screensavers and locking is just not that useful, many if not most of us don't use them. | 11:20 |
| usr13 | universal: sudo apt-get install gnome-screensaver | 11:21 |
| reisio | most screensavers do "just locking" as well | 11:21 |
| universal | it depends on time and situation if one wants to just lock screen otherwise none uses it :) | 11:21 |
| usr13 | universal: As reisio points out, you do not have to enable screensaver in order to use screen lock | 11:21 |
| universal | reisio: when i am clicking start screensaver then its showing a blackscreen and not locking.....ubunntu 13.04 | 11:21 |
| reisio | yeah... I think that's a GNOME 3 failing | 11:22 |
| universal | hmm | 11:22 |
| reisio | try a different one, like xscreensaver | 11:22 |
| MonkeyDust | universal the purpose of a screensaver is to start when ypi havent clicked for a long time | 11:22 |

| gordonjcp | what's the point of screensavers now anyway? | 11:23 |
| gordonjcp | we all use LCDs, right? | 11:23 |
| gordonjcp | we no longer use green phosphor Hercules monitors | 11:23 |
| reisio | gordonjcp: locking? :p | 11:24 |

| reisio | but not as much as LEDs on monitors that blink | 11:24 |
| usr13 | gordonjcp: It's just eye-candy. Evne the late model CRTs did not do any screen burns. | 11:24 |
| reisio | those are even harder to nullify | 11:24 |
| gordonjcp | reisio: I use a screen saver with power management | 11:24 |
| usr13 | *Even* not Evne | 11:24 |
| gordonjcp | reisio: there's this wee button on the front of my monitor... | 11:24 |
| reisio | gordonjcp: button? | 11:25 |
| gordonjcp | reisio: yup | 11:25 |
| reisio | oh | 11:26 |
| universal | i do not use screensavers....if its possible I disable them......but locking screen is something i want and not screensavers......its just that i clicked start screensaver and it did not start it rather just a blank screen and than back to normal screen thats why asking for screensaver also.....otherwise my priority question is locking screen! | 11:26 |
| burg | hello. i am trying to install ubuntu server 12.04. i tried to make bootable usb with both 12.04.2 and 12.04.3 from three different computers (two ubuntu and one windows) using three different methods on ubuntu, and using two usb sticks, in case one of them was damaged, and it always fails when i try to check disk contents. and if i try to install it without checking, it tells me that 'your installation cdrom couldn't be mounted' | 11:26 |
| gordonjcp | reisio: when I press it, it makes the screen go totally black and the power consumption drops just about 100% | 11:26 |
| usr13 | Unlike screensaver, power management applications are installed by default. | 11:26 |
| reisio | there seem to be a lot of monitors that, while in sleep mode but not off, blink their LEDs as if they're schizophrenic :) | 11:26 |
| reisio | yeah, but at that point you've touched some coworker's filthy monitor, haven't you :p | 11:26 |
| universal | blinking tells that they are sleeping and not off.....meaning power is still running inside them | 11:27 |
| raygus | Can any one assist me. I have a new fresh install of 13.04 and after installing a number of packages which appeared to install ok, I noted the recently installed app icons were not listed in the launch bar on the left hand side on screen. | 11:27 |
| reisio | universal: right, it's just hugely annoying :) | 11:27 |
| reisio | plus I can usually tell when a monitor is off by it not emitting any light :p | 11:27 |
| gordonjcp | reisio: I leave other people's monitors alone. At work I just throw the breaker for my workbench, at home I hit the button on the front, and in the van I just throw the breaker for the inverters | 11:28 |
| universal | lol | 11:28 |
| reisio | I leave them alone, too, 'cause I don't want to wash my hands again | 11:28 |
| usr13 | burg: It's trying to use wrong device. Watch closely what device it is pointing to. (Often times when you install from USB, it will look for CDROM for files and sometimes point to wrong device when writing grub to MBR.) | 11:28 |

| grahamsavage | Hi i switched to ubuntu about a month ago | 12:41 |
| grahamsavage | and google chrome | 12:41 |
| grahamsavage | is making me insane. it pauses, it freezes, it locks up.. pages take ages to paint | 12:41 |
| Neroon | usr13: Well, it seems to connect to the right wlan router (mac address) and it gets an ip address, yet not from my subnet. | 12:41 |
| grahamsavage | i switcht tabs, they go blank it crashes all the time. I have uninstalled it, reinstalled it, removed all the plugins. switched to the edge version. Given that the web-browser is the absolute number one tool i use almost everyday what can i try to fix the problem | 12:42 |
| usr13 | Neroon: Too many dhcp servers. | 12:42 |
| MonkeyDust | grahamsavage consider using chromium, not chrome, it's in the repos https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/ChromiumBrowserVsGoogleChrome | 12:42 |
| Neroon | usr13: well, i only have one ;-) | 12:42 |
| usr13 | grahamsavage: Do not use Enter key for punctuation. | 12:42 |
| grahamsavage | note: i have two other computers one running osx and one running windows and chrome runs perfectly in both of those on the same network | 12:42 |
| usr13 | Neroon: How then, are you receving bogus IP info? | 12:42 |
| grahamsavage | MonkeyDust: right, is there an advantage of chromium over chrome? | 12:43 |
| usr13 | Neroon: At any rate, change it manually, to an IP that is within the subnet, set the default gw, and you should be good to go. | 12:43 |
| MonkeyDust | grahamsavage i havent tried chrome, best way would be to try it | 12:43 |
| Neroon | usr13: I don't know, i really don't. It seems to get an ip address from a dafault fritz-box address, yet i don't have one | 12:44 |
| usr13 | Neroon: (To an *unused* IP that is within the subnet.) | 12:44 |
| choia | Is anyone here familier with screen? | 12:44 |
| Neroon | usr13: when i changed it to a fixed ip, i couldn't ping the router | 12:44 |
| susundberg | choia: i am using it regularly | 12:44 |
| usr13 | Neroon: Is the Access Point uising encryption? | 12:44 |
| choia | susundberg: is it possible to open a new windows from command line? | 12:44 |
| Neroon | usr13: yes, wpa2 | 12:45 |
| susundberg | choia: inside screen, just hit ctrl + a + c | 12:45 |
| Neroon | usr13: yet, how do i find out, whether the wlan card is capable of doing wpa2? | 12:45 |
| susundberg | or what screen you mean, screen like /usr/bin/screen -- ? | 12:45 |
| usr13 | Neroon: Then first make sure the encryption is being handled, and you'll at that point, need to use a "network manager", like wicd or network-manager. If you don't have one installed, then apt-get it. | 12:46 |
| choia | susundberg: we are talking about the right screen :) i am looking for a way to automate my screen usage via ssh so i need a commandline option is it possible? | 12:46 |
| hex20dec | Chipp-Zanuff: Sorry for the delay, echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP doesn't return anything. | 12:46 |
| Neroon | usr13: would wpa_gui sufficient? | 12:46 |
| usr13 | Neroon: It's up to you. | 12:47 |
| Neroon | usr13: it is installed, yet i can't connect through it either | 12:47 |
| usr13 | Neroon: Depends on *your* definition of sufficient. | 12:47 |
| afiq | what is it? | 12:47 |
| usr13 | Neroon: Trun off encryption and try again. | 12:47 |
| susundberg | choia: maybe -- dont know. See man-page. I usually do ssh <remote server> ... screen -r . But i you could optimize it to attach automatically if session is found | 12:47 |
| Neroon | usr13: ah, i knew you would says that... then i have to go offline here | 12:48 |

| choia | ubuntivity: i also recomend curl | 12:50 |

| susundberg | choia: sounds fun, cant help -- dont know enough, happy hacking | 12:51 |
| Pici | ubuntivity: the first sentence of the manpage describs it. | 12:51 |
| susundberg | "curl is a client to get documents/files from or send documents to a server" | 12:51 |
| Pici | choia: #screen might be able to help as well. | 12:51 |
| susundberg | !man curl | 12:51 |
| choia | ubuntivity: it's the same as wget. | 12:51 |
| ubuntivity | I've just realized that, Pici. Thanks. | 12:51 |
| ubuntivity | It seems really interesting. I've got to dissect the sharing site to see which protocol it uses.. | 12:52 |
| usr13 | http://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html | 12:52 |

| ubuntivity | susundberg: yes, and like discussing how to know the protocol my browser is using to upload the file | 12:57 |
| usr13 | ubuntivity: Well, there are only a couple of options, (and the URL man indicate which it is). | 12:58 |
| susundberg | ubuntivity: well since its browser i would guess standard http protocol tricks but wireshark can certainly analyze all the trafic that gets trhough any interface | 12:58 |
| choia | susundberg: if you are interested it's as follows: screen -x <session> -x -X screen <window name> <command> | 12:58 |
| usr13 | *may* not man | 12:58 |
| ubuntivity | susundberg: there was a commandline tool on which wireshark is based, I just don't recall its name :( | 12:59 |
| ubuntivity | tcpdump, susundberg ? | 12:59 |
| susundberg | ubuntivity: tcpdump can certainly track it also | 13:01 |
| owlbread | if you're using firefox, "Tamper Data" plugin might help | 13:01 |
| susundberg | ubuntivity: i just prefer wireshark as it has so nice gui ;) | 13:01 |
| ubuntivity | susundberg, owlbread: and is there an easy way to determine how does the browser authenticate my upload? will Tamper Data be enough? | 13:02 |
| ubuntivity | And if it is a cookie, can it be simply be supplied with curl? | 13:02 |
| linu | soo | 13:02 |
| linu | whens ubuntu 13.10 going to be realsed | 13:02 |
| linu | in two months? | 13:02 |
| * ubuntivity wonders if there is a curl add-on for Firefox | 13:03 | |
| owlbread | tamperdata lets to see all the data contained in the http headers, i use it to view POST data for debugging | 13:03 |
| owlbread | it might be able to show you the info you need! | 13:04 |

| LongWangHangLow | Hi | 13:07 |
| ubuntivity | Hello LongWangHangLow | 13:07 |
| BadK1tty | girl walks into a room having an argument with an alien,... seriously using alien to convert .rpm to .deb for a package | 13:07 |
| BadK1tty | wise to activate the root account i've heard both sides to this just curious of your take on it | 13:08 |
| cfhowlett | !root|BadK1tty, | 13:08 |
| ubottu | BadK1tty,: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 13:08 |
| * ubuntivity understood 0% of BadK1tty's statement.. | 13:09 | |
| BadK1tty | i wanted to convert a rpm to deb | 13:09 |
| cfhowlett | !alien|BadK1tty, | 13:09 |
| ubottu | BadK1tty,: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !dpkg, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 13:09 |
| BadK1tty | so i went in search of how to the file said you have to be root to run the commands | 13:09 |
| usr13 | BadK1tty: That is not the way it is done in Ubuntu. If you deviate, ok, but this is not the place to discuss why or how. | 13:09 |
| kaszan | siemanko | 13:10 |
| ubuntivity | BadK1tty: using "sudo" is almost the same as being root. | 13:10 |
| usr13 | BadK1tty: That is what sudo is for. Or, you you want an admin shell, su -i | 13:10 |
| BadK1tty | thats what i thought | 13:10 |
| BadK1tty | my actual question was when i find these packages or how to's is it wise to activate the root account in ubuntu | 13:11 |
| usr13 | BadK1tty: Ubuntu just has a simplier, easier / different way of handling admin tasks. | 13:11 |
| BadK1tty | i get that | 13:11 |
| BadK1tty | why im using it | 13:11 |
| usr13 | BadK1tty: su -i | 13:11 |
| ubuntivity | BadK1tty: it is generally not a good practice to use root account, use sudo instead. | 13:12 |
| BadK1tty | thank you for the response at least | 13:12 |
| BadK1tty | that seems to be the consensus | 13:12 |
| usr13 | BadK1tty: Sorry, it's sudo -i | 13:12 |
| BadK1tty | may i ask why, just want to know if the reason works with what i've read | 13:12 |
| usr13 | BadK1tty: super-user is there for you to use, it's just as easy, just different. | 13:13 |
| ubuntivity | Usually, performing changes to the system requires superuser permissions. | 13:13 |
| BadK1tty | yeah like unlock, install, etc | 13:13 |
| ubuntivity | Exactly | 13:13 |
| BadK1tty | either way when i saw i had to be root to run the program i just used the apt-get remove it uninstall it | 13:14 |
| usr13 | BadK1tty: you can read all sorts of opinions on which way is best but it is mostly philosophical. | 13:14 |
| MonkeyDust | BadK1tty for anything that happens outside /home | 13:14 |
| * ubuntivity +1 for MonkeyDust's statement | 13:14 | |
| quick- | BadK1tty, It's not wise as if someonw is trying to access your maching lets hope remotely they will guess user as root and they just have to guess the password . As fasr as sudo and root are concerned both have almost same previleges . But if you don't have root activated they need to guess the username too. It;s just a simple example | 13:14 |
| BadK1tty | thats the one i read too | 13:15 |
| BadK1tty | definately security conscious | 13:15 |
| usr13 | BadK1tty: Yea, so there is pleanty to be said in support of Ubuntu's way of handling admin functions. | 13:15 |
| quick- | BadK1tty, You have your answer :) | 13:16 |
| BadK1tty | so much so i attempted an install of smooth wall ... that was not fun let me tell it auto fragged my partition table i had to start froms cratch talk about a knock on the head | 13:16 |
| BadK1tty | thanks | 13:16 |
| usr13 | !ufw | BadK1tty | 13:16 |
| ubottu | BadK1tty: 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 | 13:16 |

| BadK1tty | but i see your point | 13:18 |

| missvaleska | My computer will disconnect from the wireless network, And keep asking me for the password, Even though it's right. Restarting it is the only thing I've found to work so far, Which is what I've just done. | 13:55 |
| missvaleska | I'm trying to see if there is any more permanent fix to this, Whether it's a different driver, Or some setting. I'd be very grateful if you'd help. | 13:55 |

| Nach0z | I never found a solution :/ | 13:56 |
| missvaleska | :( I'm sorry | 13:56 |
| Nach0z | SOMETIMES stopping and restarting the network stuff in init.d would fix it | 13:56 |
| missvaleska | How do you do that? | 13:56 |
| NK` | where can i download certified version of ubuntu ? | 13:57 |
| missvaleska | Restarting obviously clears, Or restarts some process, Some log, Some RAM thing. So I should be able to do that manually | 13:57 |

| NK` | i'm talking about certified one | 13:57 |
| missvaleska | What do you mean? | 13:57 |
| Nach0z | missvaleska: sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager restart, I think | 13:57 |
| missvaleska | That is certified | 13:57 |
| missvaleska | Okay | 13:57 |
| Nach0z | NK`: what kind of certificate are you looking for? | 13:58 |
| NK` | ubuntu is providing specific version for some brand aka certified version | 13:58 |
| NK` | where can i download those ? | 13:58 |
| missvaleska | I don't understand what you're talking about. | 13:58 |
| NK` | anyone from canonical here who would know that ? | 13:58 |
| X-User | is there any way to instantly resize windows? i mean resizing it in like the way it is in windows or cinnamon de. | 13:58 |

| IamTrying | usr13, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6032745/ - this was the log before CRASH and after physical start | 13:59 |
| missvaleska | Do you mean a hardware specific version? | 13:59 |
| missvaleska | Like a mac version or something? | 13:59 |
| NK` | Nach0z: not because you didn't heard about it does mean it doesn't exist | 13:59 |
| missvaleska | Because, They have mac downloads. | 13:59 |

| X-User | Nach0z, is there any tool available or any compiz tweak? | 14:01 |
| missvaleska | It wouldn't make any sense for anything like that to exist anyway. | 14:01 |
| missvaleska | Ubuntu works on everything pretty well. | 14:01 |

| Nach0z | missvaleska: only thing I can think of is when it happens, try sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager restart | 14:03 |
| NK` | and I guess as they didn't answer my question to provide the change | 14:03 |
| NK` | I'll ask it again and cc rms@gnu.org | 14:03 |
| Nach0z | NK`: I'm looking at the dell certification page, and it says that the servers are certified for a specific version of Ubuntu, not that Ubuntu was changed to be certified on the servers | 14:04 |
| Nach0z | if you click on the individual hardware that you want, it provides a download link | 14:04 |

| linu | what does that mean ? | 14:06 |
| robin0800 | NK`, if its a laptop they often have a wireless switch or key combination to enable it | 14:06 |
| NK` | that means they are providing specific drivers and sometimes did some patch on the linux kernel | 14:06 |

| NK` | exact | 14:07 |
| linu | pita | 14:07 |
| NK` | actually probably available | 14:07 |
| NK` | what is not available it the set of change | 14:07 |
| Nach0z | NK`: if you look at the right-hand side, there's a dropdown that says "Ubuntu image", if you select "pre-installed by manufacturer", you get a list of computers that come with the "manufacturer" version... you can download the individual image that's "certified" from there | 14:07 |

| NK` | then my laptop sometimes freeze when getting into sleep mode | 14:13 |
| MonkeyDust | NK` also: try to put your questuions/issues in one line, it's easier to read, follow and repeat | 14:13 |
| NK` | but the point is that canonical should provide the list of change they did anyway | 14:13 |
| Nach0z | NK`: what laptop? | 14:14 |
| NK` | MonkeyDust: sorry i indeed do use too much the enter key. :) | 14:14 |
| NK` | Nach0z: mine is a dell inspiron 5521, but i'm pretty sure there are several others exemple | 14:14 |
| helmut_ | hi | 14:16 |
| Nach0z | NK`: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201208-11540/components/ | 14:16 |
| NK` | Nach0z: yes i was there | 14:17 |
| Nach0z | NK`: that appears to be a list of the different software components that they used to fine-tune ubuntu to work on your laptop. It's not download links but it's a start | 14:17 |
| NK` | do you see any link for an image download there ? | 14:17 |
| Sillvester | Feilishia: do you want to start a program , when you login? | 14:17 |
| NK` | well it's actually just a link of the component of the laptop indeed | 14:17 |
| saki` | this command will move all the files with .rdm extensions two subdirectories below the current one, yes? mv apc/*/*.rdm /home/new/ | 14:18 |
| Pici | NK`: That page for that laptop says that it is preinstalled by the manufacturer, presumably the images should be available on their website as well. | 14:18 |
| NK` | true | 14:18 |
| NK` | so dell is wrong as well | 14:18 |
| * Feldegast doesn't touch consumer grade dell | 14:19 | |
| cfhowlett | NK`, I don't thank dell has ever made their ISO image available. BUT there is a dell image builder too ... start with stock ubuntu, grab the dell git, make the iso ... | 14:19 |
| NK` | well yes that's still something. But they are still violating the GPL I guess | 14:21 |
| bean | good luck getting them to care | 14:21 |
| NK` | :) | 14:21 |
| Nach0z | NK`: you might contact Dell and see if they can help you out. the problem is that once Dell kinda takes over and says "we're going to develop an image fine-tuned to our hardware", it makes it a bit harder for anyone else to help | 14:21 |
| Feldegast | in germany you could sue.... | 14:22 |
| Nach0z | That being said, the GPL covers only selling the software. if they provide the same system with a different OS for the same price, they can say that they're not selling the software and therefore aren't in any violation of the GPL | 14:22 |
| Feldegast | Nach0z depends on how the gpl software is obtained | 14:23 |
| NK` | hm I don't think so. I think the gpl imply to provide any modification done in case the software is distributed | 14:23 |
| MonkeyDust | NK` take that to #ubuntu-offtopic, please | 14:23 |

| sideone | extfs is not doing to well for performance on my squidbox | 14:52 |
| sideone | gonna try an additional storage (vm based) | 14:52 |
| sideone | have plenty of ram, what is tempfs? | 14:52 |
| qiu6524 | sideone: tmpfs is a "ramdisk" filesystem | 14:52 |
| qiu6524 | sideone: it grows and shrinks with its content | 14:53 |
| qiu6524 | sideone: you can set a size limit when mounting a tmpfs. | 14:53 |
| LongWangHangLow | ;o | 14:54 |
| sideone | not a bad idea, i just built a 20gigger for squid cache, i havent formatted it yet. do i just specify tmpfs as a chunk of mem? or does it actually need some storage space? the thing is, i dont want it volaltile as the squid cache will need to stick around for some time | 14:54 |
| qiu6524 | sideone: no, you simply mount it. see "man mount", search for tmpfs | 14:54 |
| NoAccess | Hi i have a ultra strange problem my Main PC Just Crashed coz Heat and now i tryed more times to reboot and re enter the password for the Encrypted LVM on Start but my Keybord don't works anymore on the Password Screen it works befor so i can enter bios i can even use it in boot loader grub to select whats get booted | 14:55 |
| NoAccess | but not on the LVM Screen on Start what can i do | 14:55 |
| sideone | qiu6524. awesome. | 14:55 |
| sideone | thanks | 14:55 |
| qiu6524 | sideone: but if the data have to survive reboots, tmpfs is not for you | 14:55 |
| sideone | yeah, reading about it now | 14:56 |
| sideone | unsure as well. | 14:56 |
| sideone | maybe if it can be pushed to another partition, then called back to tmpfs on boot | 14:56 |
| qiu6524 | sideone: kind of like "checking out a working copy" of the squid cache | 14:57 |

| ikonia | neopsyche: it's totally up to you how you partition it, and yes, they install into the file system | 16:08 |
| tmmunq | if you want to hibernate, you need swap to be as big as the amount of ram. if you dont need hibernate, no swap file | 16:08 |

| CyL | Hi, how do I find why a given package is listed as a dependency for another package? | 16:16 |
| neopsyche | ikonia: wierd. and it sometimes tells me it cant 'find node in the list' or something | 16:16 |
| neopsyche | ikonia: i can usually get it working again .. by enable/disable wireless and/or networking. (usually networking) | 16:16 |
| MonkeyDust | CyL try apt-cache depends [package] | 16:17 |
| ikonia | neopsyche: I suspect that's specific to your setup rather than a problem with intel in general, I have 3 - 4 intel wireless laptops here and I get range of 20+ meters every day (I could go further but I have no physical access to do so) | 16:17 |
| CyL | MonkeyDust: Actually that's not what I wanted. I want to know the reasons for such dependency | 16:18 |
| neopsyche | ikonia: probably .. some kind of wierd windows / driver issue .. not accessible by linux probably | 16:18 |
| Moscherkobold | ikonia: any suggestions for my bootproblem? http://paste.ubuntu.com/6033190/ | 16:18 |
| ikonia | neopsyche: why are you referencing windows drivers if you're using linux ? | 16:18 |
| ikonia | Moscherkobold: not even looked at it | 16:19 |
| neopsyche | ikonia: just mean that windows drivers have access to some aspects of drivers that linux does not in some cases | 16:19 |
| karthik | hello | 16:20 |
| MonkeyDust | CyL idd, i didnt see the word 'why' in your question, my mistake | 16:20 |
| Moscherkobold | ikonia: if you have some minutes that would be great, i think it is a minor thing but I am afraid of damaging something | 16:20 |
| ikonia | neopsyche: I doubt that very much as linux support on intel is fully supported the same as windows for pretty much every component, intel develop very agressive for linux | 16:20 |
| ikonia | Moscherkobold: just ask the channel, if someone can help, they will | 16:20 |
| socky | hey guys, I need a crontab pro to help me out. I have two php commands wrapped into a shell script. The script also has a line that echos to a log file. If I execute the (very basic) script from cli, the line get pushed to the log file and the php scripts files are processed the way I need. However, if I install to crontab, the line gets written, but the php files do not get processed... | 16:20 |
| CyL | Hi, how do I find why a given package is listed as a dependency for another package? | 16:21 |
| ikonia | CyL: ask the person who packaged it | 16:21 |
| === king is now known as Guest85058 | ||
| CyL | ikonia: That's really the best option? | 16:21 |
| neopsyche | ikonia: there seem to be so many cool things for windows system though.. fan speed, battery saving, wireless on / of f on keyboard.. | 16:21 |
| neopsyche | ikonia: but it was sooooooooooo slow. | 16:21 |
| ikonia | CyL: how else are you going to find out why someone has linked a dependency to it ? | 16:22 |
| bkilloran | guys i'm feeling highly distraught about the failure of ubuntu edge's indiegogo campaign - i fell in love with the idea of using a phone as a devbox. can anyone think fo anything that does something similar? | 16:22 |
| wilee-nilee | !touch | bkilloran | 16:22 |
| ubottu | bkilloran: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch | 16:22 |
| CyL | ikonia: IDW, maintining this as a package history makes sense to me. | 16:22 |
| ikonia | bkilloran: sorry, bit out of scope for this channel, | 16:22 |
| CyL | *IDK | 16:22 |
| bkilloran | whoops sorry, disregard | 16:22 |
| chro | hi | 16:22 |
| MonkeyDust | CyL what you can do: read the man page of a package, scroll down to "author" and contact that person | 16:23 |
| CyL | ikonia: And that's exactly what I'm asking. | 16:23 |
| ikonia | CyL: somethings will be pretty obvious, eg: xclock linked to X-11 packages, well clearly, some may not be as obvious, such as an obscure build time option for a rare function, that needs a library | 16:23 |
| CyL | MonkeyDust: Thanks for the tip | 16:23 |
| ikonia | CyL: the change log is in the source deb if you want to read it | 16:23 |
| chro | I'm trying to connect to ssh via shared key, but when after I do "ssh-copy-id user@localhost" and then try to connect, it asks me for a password. Am I doing something wrong ? | 16:23 |
| ikonia | chro: until the key is on there - you need to use the password | 16:24 |
| ikonia | chro: ssh-copy-id will put the key on there | 16:24 |
| CyL | ikonia, MonkeyDust: Actually maybe I should just as for this specific case. The package I want to know about is Skype, I'd like to know why it depends on mysql-common | 16:24 |
| chro | ikonia, I want to connect without needing to use a password | 16:25 |
| ikonia | CyL: you'd have to contact skype for that as it's their package, I suspect it's for accessing a db client library for tracking history or something like that | 16:25 |
| ikonia | chro: ok, install the key then | 16:25 |
| CyL | ikonia: Is skype in ubuntu repositories packaged by microsoft? | 16:25 |
| === Maple__ is now known as sodidibut | ||
| === sodidibut is now known as Maple__ | ||
| ikonia | CyL: it's packaged by skype yes | 16:26 |
| chro | ikonia, what do you mean? I generated a key and copied it through ssh-copy-id | 16:26 |
| CyL | ikonia: Okay, thanks for the info and kind advice | 16:26 |
| MonkeyDust | CyL it's in the 3rd party repo, skype is not open source, microsoft owns it | 16:26 |
| CyL | MonkeyDust: For you too | 16:26 |
| ikonia | chro: try to login then, what happens | 16:26 |
| [[thufir]] | I installed JDK 7 but still cannot get a Java WebStart application to run correctly. The window just never opens for me. What could be wrong with my setup? http://askubuntu.com/questions/337806/ for images. | 16:26 |
| chro | ikonia, it asks me for a password... | 16:27 |
| CyL | MonkeyDust: Yeah, I know it, I was just wondering if this was a metapackage that took care of downloading and installing things or really a package done by skype | 16:27 |
| ikonia | chro: the user password or the ssh key password | 16:27 |
| chro | user password, since I inserted a blank ssh key pass | 16:27 |
| ikonia | chro: then the key is not installed correctly, manually verify it | 16:27 |
| chro | ikonia, the key that I have in id_rsa.pub is the same that is in authorized keys | 16:28 |
| awc737 | I was doing some things, you know l33th4x0r things | 16:29 |
| ikonia | chro: 1.) make sure it's in correctly, 2.) make sure authorizeD_keys and your .ssh has the right permissions 3.) make sure sshd is ssetup to use keys and in your case, rsa keys | 16:29 |
| awc737 | and suddenly it told me to run autoremove | 16:29 |
| ActionPa1snip | [[thufir]]: did you try the webupd8 java ppa | 16:29 |
| awc737 | then told me The following packages will be REMOVED: | 16:29 |
| awc737 | gir1.2-unique-3.0 gksu libgksu2-0 libunique-3.0-0 python-compizconfig | 16:30 |
| ikonia | awc737: if you want help - talk clearly without "l33t haxor" nonsnese, tell us what you where REALLY doing | 16:30 |
| awc737 | why would they suddenly be OK to remove? and do I need those | 16:30 |
| awc737 | ikonia, just like, hacking around in linux? trying to install these 4 libraries really: http://paste.laravel.com/Mey | 16:30 |
| ikonia | awc737: hacking around ??? just tell us the truth/clearly | 16:30 |
| josemonopolio | hola | 16:31 |
| awc737 | yes those 4 libraries | 16:31 |
| ikonia | awc737: no, tell us what you did | 16:31 |
| ikonia | zoiss: not "those 4 libraries" - they are not commands/process - they are words | 16:31 |
| ikonia | oops | 16:31 |
| awc737 | ikonia, apt-get the -dev library relating to each of those | 16:31 |
| ikonia | awc737: not "those 4 libraries" - they are not commands/process - they are words | 16:31 |
| ikonia | awc737: right so you did "sudo apt-get $package-name-dev" right ? | 16:32 |
| ikonia | zoiss: sorry - misstype | 16:32 |
| awc737 | yes that's right ikonia | 16:32 |
| awc737 | i got all 4 of them | 16:32 |
| awc737 | now ./configure says i need a lot more :/ | 16:32 |

| awc737 | in 13.04 | 16:32 |

| ikonia | awc737: you use the packages from the version you are using | 16:32 |
| === v3d is now known as vdagli | ||

| awc737 | ikonia, the package no longer exists | 16:33 |
| awc737 | and I need exchange 2003 for work | 16:33 |
| ikonia | awc737: what is the package ? | 16:33 |
| awc737 | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/evolution-exchange/3.2.1-2ubuntu3 | 16:33 |
| ikonia | awc737: just hte package name is all you need to say | 16:33 |
| awc737 | it's not in 13.04 | 16:34 |
| awc737 | should I continue installing these dependencies? | 16:34 |
| ikonia | awc737: ok - so why is it not in 13.04 ? | 16:34 |
| ikonia | awc737: no, you should not in my opinion as you should not be trying to install a 12.04 package in 13.04 | 16:34 |
| awc737 | probably becuase someone looked at it, and said that's for exchange 2000/2003. we're done supporting that | 16:34 |
| ikonia | awc737: ok, I suggest you find out why that functionality may have been moved to a different package | 16:35 |
| awc737 | nothing for 2000/2003 | 16:35 |
| applebroz222 | hey! | 16:35 |
| awc737 | i think it's outdated, not moved | 16:35 |
| ikonia | awc737: how do you know ? | 16:35 |
| applebroz222 | i have a problem, would anyone be able to help? | 16:35 |
| awc737 | ikonia, lots of googling | 16:35 |
| ikonia | applebroz222: we don't know until you tell us the problem | 16:35 |
| MonkeyDust | applebroz222 start with a question! | 16:36 |
| applebroz222 | i want to open the code of a .desktop file | 16:36 |
| ikonia | awc737: if you're sure then - I suggest you talk to the maintainers and ask for a backport | 16:36 |
| applebroz222 | in the first comment of this post http://askubuntu.com/questions/183086/java-not-recognized-as-default-application continued in a bit | 16:36 |
| applebroz222 | someone states Open a .desktop file from /usr/share/applications and copy it into a new file. | 16:36 |
| awc737 | ikonia, if all the source packages dependencies exist in 13.04 repo, and install cleanly, i shouldn't worry, right? | 16:37 |
| applebroz222 | how do i do this? | 16:37 |
| ikonia | awc737: you should not do this | 16:37 |
| awc737 | why? they're current packages | 16:37 |
| ikonia | awc737: so ? | 16:37 |
| awc737 | so any package i want to install should be ok? | 16:38 |
| ikonia | awc737: where does that logic come from ??? | 16:38 |
| awc737 | someone put them there and tested them | 16:38 |
| awc737 | i presume | 16:38 |
| ikonia | awc737: not against the packages you want to use | 16:38 |
| awc737 | i think thats what debian spends like 5 years doing when it releases a new os | 16:38 |
| ikonia | awc737: the software you want to use sorry | 16:38 |
| ikonia | or the versions you want to use | 16:38 |
| BadK1tty | yea i got it working | 16:38 |
| awc737 | ok, i'm talking about the packages dependencies | 16:38 |
| applebroz222 | can anyone help with my question i just asked | 16:38 |
| ikonia | awc737: they mean nothing | 16:38 |
| awc737 | dependencies which are in my current OS repo | 16:39 |
| awc737 | someon put them there. someone tested them | 16:39 |
| ikonia | awc737: you should use software from your current repo - yes | 16:39 |
| ikonia | eg: 13.04 packages with 13.04 os | 16:39 |
| applebroz222 | in the first comment of this post http://askubuntu.com/questions/183086/java-not-recognized-as-default-application someone states "Open a .desktop file from /usr/share/applications and copy it into a new file." how do i do this? thank you. | 16:39 |
| applebroz222 | anyone? | 16:41 |
| MonkeyDust | applebroz222 open the .desktop file in your favorite editor, ctrl-a, ctrl-c -- open a new, empty document, ctrl-v | 16:41 |
| applebroz222 | but how do i open it in an editor is what im trying to day | 16:43 |
| applebroz222 | theres no open with | 16:43 |
| SolarisBoy | because it has the .desktop extension most likely | 16:43 |
| applebroz222 | oops caps | 16:44 |
| SolarisBoy | it should have an open with but there may not be a default application | 16:44 |
| applebroz222 | SO I NEED A .DESKTOP FILE TEMPLATE | 16:44 |
| applebroz222 | sorry | 16:45 |
| SolarisBoy | you could just open it with whatever text editor you want | 16:45 |
| hardliner_ | opet EMACS! | 16:46 |
| applebroz222 | ahh i click open on gedit | 16:46 |
| hardliner_ | open | 16:46 |
| SolarisBoy | ya | 16:46 |
| hardliner_ | EMACS, only emacs! | 16:46 |
| applebroz222 | should i open that with gksu? | 16:46 |
| SolarisBoy | are you sure you want to edit that file? | 16:47 |
| applebroz222 | ill just tell u the problem | 16:47 |
| SolarisBoy | or just view it? short answer yes gksu or gksudo i forget for opening graphical apps | 16:47 |
| applebroz222 | openjdk isnt showing up in the open with list | 16:47 |
| SolarisBoy | openjdk is a group of binaries =) | 16:48 |
| applebroz222 | so i need to put it in the /usr/shered/applicaations default file | 16:48 |
| applebroz222 | i think | 16:48 |
| applebroz222 | the openjdk 7 runtime | 16:48 |
| applebroz222 | then | 16:48 |
| daftykins | what's the java program? | 16:48 |
| SolarisBoy | exactly | 16:48 |
| applebroz222 | feed the beast | 16:48 |
| tmmunq | you run java program with a command like 'java example.jar' | 16:48 |
| applebroz222 | the jar isnt executable on click | 16:49 |
| applebroz222 | ya i know java -jar -.jar | 16:49 |
| SolarisBoy | and then it depends on your default java which one gets called | 16:49 |
| hardliner_ | use oracle java, not openjdk | 16:49 |
| applebroz222 | but youre meant to be able to have it execute on a click by default by setting the default to a java runtime | 16:49 |
| applebroz222 | but nor oracle java or openjdk are showing up in the open with list | 16:50 |
| rypervenche | applebroz222: You can use OpenJDK just fine. | 16:50 |
| applebroz222 | so what should i do | 16:50 |
| hardliner_ | intellij idea doesn't work correctly with openjdk, use oracle | 16:50 |
| SolarisBoy | applebroz222: what is your actual problem , is it that the wrong java is opening the app? | 16:51 |
| applebroz222 | i need to get openjdk7 runtime into the default list in /usr/share/applications | 16:51 |
| applebroz222 | no i dont get an option to open it with any java | 16:51 |
| applebroz222 | just the archive util | 16:52 |
| SolarisBoy | its a jar file | 16:52 |
| SolarisBoy | it's an archive =) | 16:52 |
| applebroz222 | i know | 16:52 |
| applebroz222 | can i make it an executable jar? | 16:52 |
| applebroz222 | it is on mac. | 16:52 |
| rypervenche | hardliner_: Sun Java is not available in Ubuntu's repositories. Please do not recommend it to users here. | 16:52 |
| SolarisBoy | oracle java? | 16:52 |
| rypervenche | Err yeah. | 16:53 |
| applebroz222 | Oracle(formerly sun then) | 16:53 |
| hardliner_ | it's available via ppa | 16:53 |
| SolarisBoy | lol | 16:53 |
| DJones | applebroz222: Have you set it as exectuable by right clicking on the file and going to properties and then the permissions tab | 16:53 |
| rypervenche | PPAs are not officially supported either. | 16:53 |
| hardliner_ | sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java | 16:53 |
| hardliner_ | sudo apt-get update | 16:53 |
| hardliner_ | sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer | 16:53 |
| rypervenche | Let's focus on the real problem at hand please. It has nothing to do with the difference between java implementations. | 16:54 |
| applebroz222 | i need to add an application to the default applications list | 16:54 |
| === harmagent is now known as vector | ||
| SolarisBoy | applebroz222: correct | 16:54 |
| SolarisBoy | you don't see openjdk you must add it - add the java binary from that directory that openjdk is installed to | 16:54 |
| applebroz222 | i dont know how to dod that | 16:55 |
| SolarisBoy | right click the file and go to properties | 16:55 |
| SolarisBoy | there should be a tab like "open with" | 16:55 |
| SolarisBoy | there should be some defaults/recommended and so forth - you should look first if you see OpenJDK if not - you'll need to click the show other applicaitons button and find it | 16:56 |
| applebroz222 | there is no said button | 16:56 |
| Marlenee | can i downlaod full folder from another server using - wget command ?? | 16:57 |
| hardliner_ | dpkg -l | grep jdk | 16:57 |
| SolarisBoy | and there is no other button that allows you to choose a different default application in the window you are looking at? | 16:57 |
| SolarisBoy | s/button/interface/ | 16:57 |
| racho | there's a channel for ubuntu 13.10? | 16:57 |
| DJones | racho: #ubuntu+1 | 16:57 |
| racho | DJones: thx | 16:57 |
| SolarisBoy | Marlenee: yes you can wget recursively if it's allowed on the remote end | 16:58 |
| Marlenee | what is the full command | 16:58 |
| SolarisBoy | -r | 16:58 |
| hardliner_ | locate jdk | 16:59 |
| SolarisBoy | along with the whatever existed | 16:59 |
| hardliner_ | to see where is your jdk is | 16:59 |
| SolarisBoy | nah - dpkg -L <pkgname> to see where the jdk binaries are if you really wnted to know | 16:59 |
| SolarisBoy | locate can show cached inaccurate results and it's not avail by default afaik | 16:59 |
| MonkeyDust | whoever asked the wget question: try wget -m | 17:00 |
| SolarisBoy | mirror? | 17:00 |
| hardliner_ | SolarisBoy, i wrote earlier dpkg -l | grep jdk | 17:00 |
| SolarisBoy | hardliner_: thats not like -L | 17:00 |
| SolarisBoy | -l lists the db status - not where the files that the package installd are | 17:01 |
| hardliner_ | ok | 17:01 |
| tomlikestorock | is there a way on the command line to capture everything in my terminal window? | 17:01 |
| SolarisBoy | tomlikestorock: script | 17:01 |
| tomlikestorock | SolarisBoy: that'll capture everything already on the screen? | 17:01 |
| SolarisBoy | tomlikestorock: or screen if you wanted to be extra - but the "script" command will capture everything you type until you exit the "script" session | 17:01 |
| applebroz222 | i hear about this ubuntu tweak | 17:02 |
| SolarisBoy | tomlikestorock: no nothing already in the buffer | 17:02 |
| tomlikestorock | ah, I was looking more for stuff that was already in the buffer | 17:02 |
| SolarisBoy | tomlikestorock: try screen if you need that | 17:02 |
| applebroz222 | but adding the ppa and apt-get install Ubuntu-tweak isnt working | 17:02 |
| hardliner_ | SolarisBoy, but to use dpkg with -L option you should already know what package you have on your system | 17:02 |
| SolarisBoy | hardliner_: naturally | 17:02 |
| Luyin | applebroz222: have you updated your package information with apt-get update? | 17:03 |
| hardliner_ | SolarisBoy, to know this user can use dpkg - l | grep <package> | 17:03 |
| applebroz222 | yes | 17:03 |
| SolarisBoy | sure he can. or he could dpkg -l 'package' | 17:03 |
| SolarisBoy | and avoid extra typing | 17:03 |
| applebroz222 | it says some index files failed to download they have been ignored or old ones used instead | 17:04 |
| SolarisBoy | that doesn't void the fact that dpkg -L is a better way to locate a packages files than locate | 17:04 |
| SolarisBoy | locate would just find everything it ever saw with jdk in it - which would get nasty most likely | 17:04 |
| hardliner_ | SolarisBoy, you are right | 17:04 |
| SolarisBoy | thanks | 17:04 |

| neopsyche | how is it that ubuntu rendering graphics is soooo much better than windows? | 17:08 |
| applebroz222 | crap how could i downgrade without losing my stuff? | 17:08 |
| Nach0z | what happens when the ubuntu release version hits zebra? | 17:08 |
| RoyK | applebroz222: backup/reinstall/restore | 17:08 |
| DJones | applebroz222: Backup & fresh install, you can't downgrade | 17:08 |
| SolarisBoy | applebroz222: with a backup =) | 17:08 |
| awc737 | neopsyche, wut? | 17:08 |
| neopsyche | sorry, maby that was a question for off topic | 17:09 |
| RoyK | applebroz222: it's always good to keep /home on a separate filesystem for such occurences | 17:09 |
| awc737 | it wasn't true | 17:09 |
| Nach0z | neopsyche: it's on-topic, just completely vague and has no context | 17:09 |
| SolarisBoy | +1 | 17:10 |
| Nach0z | rendering what graphics in what setting? | 17:10 |
| SolarisBoy | what card | 17:10 |
| Nach0z | ^this too, hardware helps | 17:10 |
| awc737 | lol | 17:10 |
| SolarisBoy | almost defines it in that scenario lol | 17:10 |
| hardliner_ | are you crazy to use 13.10? | 17:10 |
| MonkeyDust | applebroz222 you're learning ubuntu the hard way | 17:10 |
| hardliner_ | use LTS )) | 17:10 |
| SolarisBoy | i stick with LTS if the box is important to me | 17:11 |
| RoyK | SolarisBoy++ | 17:11 |
| racho | neopsyche: i have found the font rendering of ubuntu way better that windows/mac as a whole. however graphical intensive programs (games) usually suck on linux | 17:11 |
| racho | however with the 3.11 kernel things got a little better (radeon user here) | 17:12 |
| Nach0z | racho: that depends on hardware and drivers, my laptop can play openGL-based games (coughminecraftcough) at far higher FPS on ubuntu than on win7 | 17:12 |
| SolarisBoy | Nach0z++ | 17:12 |
| Nach0z | and that was on 12.04, on a 6770m | 17:12 |
| hardliner_ | racho, it depends, valve told that there's more fps in linux in opengl games | 17:12 |
| === dean is now known as dean|away | ||

| intrader | Hi everyone - I need your help with an error I am getting when starting GVIM from terminal. The first error is that it does not find module libgail-gnome which is needed to make application accessible - then I tis unable to create the mnu proxy. GVIM does start Ok | 17:15 |
| Siecje | How do you specify a passphrase with gpgp in one command? | 17:15 |
| Pici | Siecje: You cannot. | 17:17 |
| hardliner_ | Intrader, use EMACS | 17:17 |
| Siecje | I would like to use it in a script | 17:17 |
| Nach0z | lol hardliner_ | 17:17 |
| Maple__ | hardliner_, not sure if it's helpful to bring up le editor wars again ^>^ | 17:17 |
| racho | emacs...but i already have an os | 17:17 |
| Nach0z | emacs: an effective operating system, only lacking a decent text editor | 17:17 |
| Pici | Siecje: Then either use an agent, or create a passwordless key | 17:18 |
| === jagger|away is now known as jagger | ||
| Siecje | Pici: what is an agent? | 17:19 |
| Nach0z | hardliner_: I have no enmity towards emacs. I'm just a nano person lol | 17:19 |
| Pici | Siecje: its something that runs in the background that keeps your gpg passphrase cached. But its not really a perfect solution for a script, since you need to enter the password into the agent at some point. | 17:19 |
| hardliner_ | Nach0z, )) | 17:19 |
| Nach0z | hardliner_: iunno what that one means >___> | 17:20 |

| Wiz_KeeD | hey guys | 17:23 |
| Wiz_KeeD | If i want to add my ssh key to a server and not use the root user | 17:23 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Do i need to make a separate one or is it enough to add just the key? | 17:24 |
| === Marlenee_k is now known as Marlenee | ||
| Wiz_KeeD | anyone? | 17:26 |
| Pici | Wiz_KeeD: you can use the same ssh public key that you normally use. | 17:27 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Pici, how? | 17:27 |
| intrader | hardliner_, thanks for looking in - I have no problem with GVIM, but with the unity launching of it. | 17:27 |
| Wiz_KeeD | my local user is wiz and on the server there is no such username | 17:27 |
| Pici | Wiz_KeeD: Do you have an ssh key for your regular use? | 17:27 |
| Wiz_KeeD | just root :( | 17:27 |
| Wiz_KeeD | yes Pici | 17:27 |
| racho | Wiz_KeeD: read the doc Luke -> http://www.debian-administration.org/article/SSH_with_authentication_key_instead_of_password | 17:28 |
| Pici | Wiz_KeeD: If you don't want to ssh into the root user's account, then you'd need another account on the server. Otherwise just do ssh-copy-id root@remoteserver | 17:28 |
| racho | Wiz_KeeD: try to avoid logging as root. create another account and use sudo | 17:29 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ahh | 17:30 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I did ssh-copy-id with no further arguments | 17:30 |
| Wiz_KeeD | So i need to make a separate user nontheless right racho? | 17:30 |
| racho | Wiz_KeeD: it's a good idea. | 17:31 |
| Wiz_KeeD | how do i do that properly racho? | 17:31 |
| Wiz_KeeD | So i can still have access to the server | 17:31 |
| Siecje | Pici: how do I create a passwordless key? | 17:31 |
| Pici | Siecje: create a new key and then don't put a passphrase when it asks you | 17:31 |
| racho | Wiz_KeeD: you log in your server use useradd/adduser and the ssh-copy-id to that account | 17:32 |
| intrader | Maple__, thanks, I don't know why he brought up EMACS. My problem is not with GVIM but with unity. | 17:32 |
| racho | Wiz_KeeD: if you need root rights you can add the new account to the wheel group or delegate portions with sudo | 17:33 |
| Bauer1 | guys, I have NTFS partition auto mounted by Ubuntu, with type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096) - but when I choose a dir in Steam, it says the New Steam library folder must be on a filesystem mounted with execute permissions... how do I change the ubuntu automounter for that? | 17:33 |
| Bauer1 | its also weird because I can execute stuff on that NTFS partition I believe | 17:34 |
| darkowlzz | hi, I am trying to use fastboot in my ubuntu 12.04. I have a Samsung Galaxy S Duos device. I have also set udev rules for adb as well as fastboot. adb detects the device but fastboot doesn't. Could anybody help me with this? | 17:34 |
| racho | Bauer1: can you unmount and mount it again with the needed permissions | 17:34 |
| Bauer1 | racho: how to remount it exactly? that partition is auto mounted by ubuntu, I dont know which parameters to specify | 17:35 |
| daftykins | darkowlzz: that seems more like an Android dev question | 17:35 |
| darkowlzz | daftykins, so #android | 17:36 |
| daftykins | if it exists :) i suspect it may be double ## | 17:36 |
| usr13 | Bauer1: mount -o rw,remount /device/name /mount/ponit | 17:37 |
| Wiz_KeeD | racedo, how do I do that? | 17:37 |
| usr13 | Bauer1: sudo mount -t ntfs -o remount,r /device/name /mount/point | 17:38 |
| racho | Bauer1: as daftykins said just remount it on the path it was. also check man mount. i can't remember all the options there but usually you don't want '-user' at it implies noexec | 17:38 |
| Bauer1 | usr13: ahh like that.. but isnt that the same as it is now? I tried, I get the same error from Steam | 17:39 |
| intrader | hardliner_, can you suggest a solution to my problem? | 17:39 |
| usr13 | Bauer1: Is this device defined in /etc/fstab ? | 17:39 |
| DammitJim | can one buy ubuntu support for servers? | 17:39 |
| usr13 | Bauer1: What kind of device is it? | 17:40 |

| Mace268 | I've mounted a partition using my gid and uid but all newly created and existing files are set to 777. I have added mode=644 to the mount options but I guess this is incorrect. Could someone tell me how to properly set the mode on mount? | 17:45 |
| Scunizi | I'm running 12.04 with both unity & kde desktops. When I do a full shutdown and restart I'm left at a command prompt where I have to log in and manually start the gui. How do I fix this behavoir to start the gui on startup? | 17:48 |
| aaas | so im tyring to pring a webpage from the command line, I've tried cutycap, wkhtmltopdf, phantomjs, slimerjs...they all need an x server. I ssh into the machine from a windows station an dit works fine, but i want to script it and the server is headless, so they say to run it with xvfb-run. I do this and the output is all small, i think because of the error "missing extension xrandr", tried all sorts of commands xrander doesn't run headless. s | 17:48 |
| aaas | uggestions? | 17:48 |
| wilee-nilee | Scunizi, Any history on what you were doing when this started? | 17:51 |
| supsiii | i dont understand why if i did "download and install updates automatically" not all updates get installed automaticaaly (though all get downloaded) | 17:51 |
| supsiii | i would like not to have to think of updates. just have them all done automatically (both download and install). | 17:51 |
| intrader | racho, unfortunately the solution - to execute gconftool-2 --type bool --set /desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility false does not solve the problem for me | 17:52 |
| supsiii | wonder why this behavior is not by default ... i'm pretty sure vast majority of users have same opinion as me here | 17:52 |
| racho | intrader: did you try reinstalling GVim? | 17:52 |
| wilee-nilee | supsiii, Sometimes there are partial updates, this is missing packages do not run, sometimes it is security or kernels and need your approval. | 17:52 |
| Scunizi | wilee-nilee: not really.. I rarely do a full reboot.. perhaps it was after a kernel upgrade. | 17:53 |
| syre | hey guys, how do i auto-start XBMC? is there a thing like .xinitrc or .xprofile on Ubuntu? | 17:53 |
| intrader | racho, I will and let you know | 17:54 |
| supsiii | wilee-nilee: thanks for attention. i'm sure if those superprogrammers behind ubuntu just wanted it, they could get this whole thing to work automatically, dont you think? | 17:54 |
| wilee-nilee | Scunizi, Are you running graphic drivers from the manufacturer? | 17:54 |
| wilee-nilee | supsiii, Your awfully sure on issues which have no real proof of support | 17:55 |
| Scunizi | wilee-nilee: I'm running an nvidia card and get the latest availble drivers from .... hang on I"ll check my sources file.. perhaps it's a ppa, perhaps it's normal ubuntu repo's | 17:55 |
| Scunizi | wilee-nilee: they are from the ubuntu repos.. no ppa | 17:56 |
| racho | supsiii: usually kernel upgrades will require your approval. you may don't want to run the latest kernel because it can introduce regression in your setup. afaik kernel upgrades require your input in 99% of all distros out there | 17:56 |
| ace_striker | helllo everyone ..i am doomed i just reinstalled binutils from gnu package and now everything is broken my C compiler don't get detect ,linking is missed and i am in hell.. any advice or i have reinstall ?? | 17:57 |
| supsiii | wilee-nilee: most people (and when i say most i mean over 90%) want a computer system that just works and is up-to-date without having to worry about it. yes true i dont have proof for what im saying, but isnt this obvious? | 17:57 |
| intrader | racho, no difference - why do you think that it is a GVIM problem?. | 17:57 |
| wilee-nilee | Scunizi, Some people have seemed to have problems with the latest kernel upgrade and nvidia, can't say this is the issue, try an earlier kernel in the grub menu to test. | 17:58 |
| racho | intrader: because obviously it required the missing lib which is already removed from the ubuntu repos. | 17:59 |
| wilee-nilee | supsiii, This is way off topic, and from a arguement point about as weak as it gets. | 17:59 |
| racho | intrader: i would reopen the bug report again | 17:59 |
| Scunizi | wilee-nilee: ok ... I'll have to do that later. Thanks for the input. | 17:59 |

| Monkeytoe | I think that would be a very bad think supskii... if ubuntu becomes bigger than windows... it will become just as corrupt as MS... all corporations try to protect their profits... and any company making that much money would have the power to be very effective in their lobbying for favorable laws... the open source laws as they stand now could be completely changed in such an environment | 18:15 |

| usr13 | willows02: Or you misspoke...? | 18:23 |
| supsiii | BluesKaj: it's alright. you can say the same thing in another way, achieve the same result, while maintaining manners.... have a good day | 18:23 |
| willows02 | Perhaps, so one issue is Skype tending to freeze up. | 18:24 |
| willows02 | So I guess it's a Linux application technically.. I just figured it was developed more for windows and perhaps badly ported or something | 18:24 |

| Gilligan94 | Hi, can anyone help me get windows 8 to show on grub? I have tried update-grub | 18:29 |
| genii | !memtest | 18:29 |
| RoyK | usr13: see http://memtest.org/ | 18:29 |
| genii | Hm. | 18:29 |
| wilee-nilee | Gilligan94, You have installed it referencing the uefi wiki? | 18:29 |
| wilee-nilee | ubuntu that is | 18:29 |
| Gilligan94 | No, It has always worked in EFI mode out of the box for me | 18:30 |
| wilee-nilee | Gilligan94, EFI apple? | 18:30 |
| Gilligan94 | No lenovo | 18:30 |
| Gilligan94 | T430u | 18:30 |
| wilee-nilee | Gilligan94, Not sure. | 18:30 |
| Gilligan94 | I've read stuff around about chainloading | 18:31 |
| Edgan | Anyone know of Lucid debs of OpenSSH 6.2? | 18:31 |
| usr13 | willows02: Holdint shift key as you reboot should get you the grub menu, and there you should see an option for memtest | 18:31 |
| usr13 | *Holding* | 18:31 |
| daftykins | Edgan: know what about them? | 18:31 |
| Edgan | daftykins: where some exist | 18:32 |
| daftykins | Edgan: is this for a server? | 18:32 |
| willows02 | usr13: ok, so I don't have to download it first? | 18:32 |
| wilee-nilee | Gilligan94, a link probably worth looking at, the best support of uefi is at that forum. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295 | 18:32 |
| Edgan | daftykins: yes | 18:32 |

| Edgan | wilee-nilee: It is for servers, and I am not going to be able to upgrade them before I need the newer openssh | 18:33 |
| intrader | racho, i will | 18:33 |
| MonkeyDust | Edgan 13.10 will have openssh 6.2 | 18:33 |
| willows02 | ok, thanks. i'll try that out | 18:33 |
| Edgan | MonkeyDust: I see that | 18:33 |
| usr13 | willows02: But, I should also tell you that it sometimes takes a rather long time to detect errors. I suggest runnint it overnight or for at least 8 hours or so. | 18:33 |
| wilee-nilee | Edgan, Cool, just making sure. | 18:34 |
| MonkeyDust | Edgan better wait until the next lts, you'll have a more recent openssh | 18:34 |
| willows02 | usr13: oh ok, is there any danger to running it? | 18:34 |
| Edgan | MonkeyDust: not that simple | 18:34 |

| nowayride | [[thufir]]: if this is for a dev env you could look at rbenv, it will let you chose working versions. For production might have to add a repo or build from source, since 12.04 is locked to certain versions | 18:45 |

| genii | trism: Ah, nice | 18:46 |
| trism | [[thufir]]: then you can run: sudo update-alternatives --config ruby; | 18:46 |
| nowayride | [[thufir]]: rbenv is like rvm but to me it's a bit simpler. Again if it's production you're better off compiling or something which isn't hard. Download.. ./configure && make && make install | 18:46 |
| booh | somebody can help with regex? | 18:47 |
| nowayride | With rbenv or compiling you'll need dependencies though | 18:47 |

| Frank81 | coz when i bing or google it! It returns about the public key method but i need it ip based and no key files or else | 18:49 |

| AcidRain2012 | can anyone link me to the most in depth ftp server setup guide there is on the net that worked for them? | 18:49 |
| Frank81 | a host name or ip would be greate sure i can define hostnames for any ip in the hosts file | 18:49 |

| Frank81 | AcidRain2012: sounds bad ^^ | 18:50 |
| usr13 | Frank81: Like setting your router up to give a number of computers with perminate lease IPs and associate a hostname with them? Or just use the /etc/hosts file to define them? (After setting to static IPs)? | 18:51 |

| AcidRain2012 | Frank81, only way i was ever successful was to give all users full access to the fs. which after i couldnt take it no more, i uninstalled all packages related to that service because its just not right thing to do | 18:52 |
| Frank81 | for user root for example he should accept a list of ips | 18:52 |

| Frank81 | usr my goal is to make administration a bit easy for me | 18:56 |
| Frank81 | since key file auth always breaks | 18:56 |
| Frank81 | coz little fails and debuging then takes to longs | 18:56 |
| Frank81 | some time typos by ssh share and so on | 18:56 |
| Frank81 | i simply whant a way to access my local servers easyer | 18:56 |
| daftykins | making things easy often goes hand in hand with making things insecure | 18:56 |
| Frank81 | and when its ip based i could probally better manage that | 18:56 |

| Frank81 | ok but i think the only way is to find good ways to make the key management easyer and better in real use | 18:58 |
| Frank81 | ^^ | 18:58 |
| Frank81 | but it always breaks my head to edit a key file in one line that contains tons of keys | 18:58 |

| Dr_Willis | Dakk: you have a whole hard drive thats empty? that would be easiest. | 19:35 |
| Dakk | i got UEFI motherboard, might aswell tell you. | 19:35 |
| Dakk | Yeah | 19:35 |
| Dakk | i got a "320gb" one (232 actual space" that is 100% empty | 19:35 |
| jrtappers | Dakk, the file needs to be burnt to a disk, what OS are you using at the moment? | 19:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Dakk: easiest way would be to Unplug all the hard drives, except for the one you want linux on. boot the installer cd. tell it to use the whole hard drive. and let it do its thing. Make sure its booting first properly. then plug in the other hard drives and be sure bios is set to boot that linux hd first. | 19:36 |
| Dakk | Right now i am using win7 64bit. | 19:37 |
| Dakk | Can i not get it so that i can choose on start-up wether i wanna boot win or linux? | 19:37 |
| ironfoot495 | Hello I have some problems with broken packages on ubuntu 12.04. I just installed this distro . I have broken packages in my apache2-common and could not install fast-cgi. I really need someone who can help me resolve these issues. Thanks in advance. | 19:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Dakk: yes you can. but its easier and safer to keep the other hds unplugged during install.. just in case you get confused. | 19:37 |
| _2cool4me4_ | I wish that you wouldn't have to put this stupid thing in dev mode in order to use it: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Acer-Chromebook-Iron-Gray-C7-C710-2457-11.6-Laptop-PC-with-Celeron-847-Processor-4GB-Memory-16GB-Hard-Drive-and-Chrome-OS/25863246 | 19:37 |
| _2cool4me4_ | er, to install Ubuntu | 19:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Dakk: use a tool like http://www.imgburn.com/ in windows to burn the ISO to dvd. or a tool from the pendrivelinux site to make a bootable usb to install from (faster) | 19:38 |
| jrtappers | _2cool4me4_, It kind of makes sense, its to stop it being a security loophole unfortunately | 19:38 |
| jrtappers | Dr_Willis, Why not the windows ISO burner that is built in? | 19:38 |
| [[thufir]] | how do I install the ssh gem? I installed with sudo, but the user doesn't seem to have access to that? there are various gems I'll need to install with "gem install <some gem>" http://pastebin.com/ytw2i9Cw | 19:38 |
| _2cool4me4_ | ironfoot495, have you tried sudo apt-get install -f | 19:38 |
| Dr_Willis | jrtappers: because i fnd that one stinks. ;) | 19:38 |
| ironfoot495 | yes I have I used info fromsomething I googled. | 19:39 |
| jrtappers | Dakk, So what do you want to do, the disconnect way or not? | 19:39 |
| Dakk | that actually sounds like the easiest way to do it. Do not know why i did not thought of that myself... | 19:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Dakk: you may want to make the cd and try out the live cd first to see how well the system handles it for a bit also. | 19:40 |
| Dakk | So if i have windows on one, and linux on another, how would i got about to make it so that i can chose on startup wich to choose? | 19:40 |
| ironfoot495 | 2cool4me4_ I'm trying to use my localhost for php and nothing is working right. | 19:40 |
| jrtappers | Dakk, You would chose which one to boot in the bios, pre boot | 19:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Dakk: you boot the linux HD and it has a GRUB menu to select. or you can also setup the bios to boot what HD you want - bypassing grub. | 19:40 |
| Dakk | sooo Linux has a thing that lets me chose windows or linux? | 19:41 |
| Dr_Willis | on a multi-hd system - i try to keep Grub on the linux hard drive. | 19:41 |
| Dr_Willis | !grub | Dakk | 19:41 |
| ubottu | Dakk: 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 | 19:41 |
| JesseH | Anyone here had a problem recently installing Ubuntu? Someone I know said that they can't click the install button, or whatever, and provided me with an image. http://imgur.com/oFUfoa1 | 19:41 |
| jrtappers | Dakk, step 1 would be to try a live CD | 19:41 |
| Dakk | hmmm | 19:42 |
| jrtappers | Dakk, Step 1 is to burn the ISO, windows has a way, there are others available if you prefer | 19:42 |
| Dakk | ImgBurn, i get it. | 19:42 |
| Dakk | Can i just boot it from that without having to instal it? | 19:42 |
| Dakk | install* | 19:42 |
| jrtappers | Dakk, Yes | 19:42 |
| genii | JesseH: Looks like they made both sdb1 and adb5 mounted at / | 19:42 |
| genii | adb5, rather | 19:43 |
| jrtappers | It lets you test without having to install | 19:43 |
| genii | sdb5 | 19:43 |
| Dakk | sooo | 19:43 |
| Dakk | i burn it to the Cd | 19:43 |
| Dakk | Then what? how do i run it, instead of installing it? | 19:43 |
| Dakk | just "go"..? | 19:43 |
| Dr_Willis | you BOOT the cd | 19:43 |
| jrtappers | There is an option, Run off CD without installing or install | 19:44 |
| jrtappers | You chose the one you want | 19:44 |
| jrtappers | Its easy to do when you see it | 19:44 |
| Dakk | aah | 19:45 |
| Dakk | thanks! | 19:45 |
| Dakk | I'll do that tomorrow then! | 19:45 |

| [[thufir]] | how do I remove ruby? I did "apt-get remove ruby" but it's still there. "apt-cache search ruby" gives huge results. Can I filter them for just installed packages? | 19:54 |
| Dr_Willis | [[thufir]]: why do you want to remove ruby? | 19:54 |
| Dr_Willis | the apt cli tools have a way to show only installed packages. I just cant rember how off the top of my head. | 19:55 |

| AdvoWork | Hi there, anyone know how to view files in Ubuntu from a connected Samsung Galaxy S4? It mounts it, but the folder list is empty.. | 19:56 |

| === arunprasadr is now known as arunprasadr_away | ||
| AdvoWork | Dr_Willis, 13.04 sorry | 19:56 |
| usr13 | AdvoWork: Maybe that directory *is* empty? | 19:57 |
| usr13 | AdvoWork: What exactly are you looking for? | 19:58 |
| Dr_Willis | AdvoWork: perhaps -> http://www.webupd8.org/2013/01/upgrade-to-gvfs-with-mtp-support-in.html | 19:58 |
| AdvoWork | usr13, well i'd expect to see files/folders/photos/videos etc | 19:58 |
| Dr_Willis | AdvoWork: personally these days. I tend to use 'airdroid' to access my Android Devices. :) seems easier and faster then a usb cable | 19:58 |
| Snitzu | So, I found this awesome pyramid scheme I've been making $1000/mo off of http://dailyconsumer.info/make_money think I could get in trouble for it? | 19:58 |
| AdvoWork | Dr_Willis, never heard of that to be fair | 19:59 |
| usr13 | AdvoWork: If you have an expansion card, there will be two sets of files, (two devices). If the expansion card has not been used, there will be empty directories. | 19:59 |
| Dr_Willis | AdvoWork: its a must get/use then. :) lets you have almost full access to your phone over wifi. in a browser window. | 19:59 |
| === GingerGeek is now known as GingerGeek[Away] | ||
| Dr_Willis | I was thinking that the mtp stuff worked for me on 13.04 - but i rarely use a usb cable. so im not so sure now. | 20:00 |
| Dr_Willis | artical i posted. says 13.04 should be able to access the device in mtp mode. | 20:01 |
| usr13 | AdvoWork: You should see DCIM directory and within that one will be images taken by the phone's camera. The expansion card will more-than-likely have an empty DCIM directory. | 20:01 |
| AdvoWork | Dr_Willis, that update worked too thanks, and cheers for the tip, and usr13 yeah your right, i can see it now (additional step is i have to unlock my phone too else it shows a blank folder) Cheers | 20:03 |
| usr13 | AdvoWork: When I transfer files to my Android, I create a directory on the expansion card for them, like Documents, Music, Pictures, etc. | 20:03 |
| Dr_Willis | thats weird. :) i definatly recall not needing to unlock my phone. guess it could be a new security feature | 20:03 |
| usr13 | Dr_Willis: Some have it some dont | 20:04 |
| === Helpme is now known as Guest76280 | ||
| usr13 | I think the theory is that you may not want it connected, (you may only be plugging into the PC for a charge. | 20:05 |
| usr13 | Dr_Willis: It's not really unlocking the phone, it is someting to the effect, "Turn on media storage access, Yes No" | 20:06 |
| usr13 | Not all Androids are set up the same. | 20:06 |
| _9-bit | i'm trying to install windows xp over ubuntu, but i keep getting an error, can someone help me? | 20:06 |

| _9-bit | other way around | 20:07 |
| Dr_Willis | or am i backwards. ;) | 20:07 |
| _9-bit | i know it's probably sacrilege here. | 20:07 |
| _9-bit | but i need a windows xp computer right now. | 20:07 |
| Dr_Willis | _9-bit: you may want to be asking in #windows or just run xp in virtualbox. | 20:08 |
| usr13 | _9-bit: You may need to delete partitions first. | 20:08 |
| _9-bit | hm ok | 20:08 |
| _9-bit | i'll check it out there | 20:08 |
| nl287 | _9-bit: u can try first begin windows 7 install. remove partition, reboot and then install xp | 20:08 |
| Dr_Willis | if its just a temp thing.. xp in vbox orks for many people. | 20:08 |
| usr13 | _9-bit: Yea, you can just install in virtualbox | 20:08 |
| _9-bit | is virtual box pretty easy to set up? | 20:08 |
| Dr_Willis | !vbox | 20:08 |

| usr13 | _9-bit: Yea, vbox is pretty easy. (Even I can do it :) | 20:09 |
| _9-bit | starcraft broodwar :P | 20:09 |
| Dr_Willis | _9-bit: a game? Use wine. | 20:09 |
| _9-bit | it's not just a game | 20:09 |
| _9-bit | i need to run some files on there to set it up | 20:09 |
| Dr_Willis | or a full install of XP.. games in vbox may not work very well. | 20:09 |
| usr13 | _9-bit: Files? | 20:09 |
| _9-bit | yeah that's what i was thinking | 20:09 |
| _9-bit | well to connect to the servers you need to run a launcher | 20:10 |
| subman | I'm trying to ssh into a server that I was into successfully yesterday but today I cannot get in. I get: Permission denied, please try again. | 20:10 |
| Dr_Willis | _9-bit: check the wine app database to see if it works in wine. | 20:10 |

| wile-Nile | The manual will offer delete | 20:12 |
| usr13 | _9-bit: How did you install ubuntu? | 20:12 |
| Dr_Willis | im suprised the windows installer dosent offer the delete option. | 20:12 |
| Dr_Willis | but it might have it hidden somewhere | 20:12 |
| wile-Nile | It does | 20:12 |
| _9-bit | i got a computer from volunteering | 20:12 |

| _9-bit | haha i suppose | 20:15 |
| BadK1tty | i concur with usr13 | 20:15 |

| _9-bit | im sure | 20:16 |
| _9-bit | but what i'm using it for is pretty low level and basic | 20:16 |

| usr13 | _9-bit: I think you'll find you can connect to those servers without any exe files. | 20:17 |

| _9-bit | yes | 20:20 |
| Dr_Willis | john_doe_jr: its enabled by default on ubuntu. theres some scripts that get ran via the .bashrc and .profile i recall that run the proper scipt from /etc/ to set it up | 20:20 |
| usr13 | _9-bit: You might be a good candidate for vbox | 20:20 |
| _9-bit | i was under the impression it would run pretty slow on that | 20:21 |

| fak3r | chaotic_good: if you use the intit.d script, ubuntu will 'remind' you can you should use sudo service apache2 stop | 20:56 |

| usr13 | valiant2ex: What does lpq say? | 20:58 |
| usr13 | valiant2ex: Is it a network printer? | 20:58 |
| wile-Nile | fiddled just state the issue if you have not | 20:58 |
| valiant2ex | how can you tell if its a network printer :x | 20:58 |
| valiant2ex | its a wireless printer lol | 20:58 |
| valiant2ex | i installed the drivers on a window machine | 20:58 |
| usr13 | valiant2ex: How is it connected? | 20:58 |
| fiddler | sorry? | 20:59 |
| valiant2ex | its connected via wireless | 20:59 |
| usr13 | valiant2ex: Is it connected to the router via ethernet .... Oh.. wireless? | 20:59 |
| valiant2ex | i installed brother printer through CD on a windows machine, but i completely uninstalled windows | 20:59 |
| valiant2ex | and now i gotta set up printing | 20:59 |
| _9-bit_ | hey | 20:59 |
| _9-bit_ | so i downloaded starcraft, and i'm trying to open it with wine | 20:59 |
| _9-bit_ | but when i do "open with" and then select wine, nothing happens | 21:00 |
| usr13 | valiant2ex: Well, I don't know.... you just have to find it. Problem is, if it is not set to a static IP, you could have problems. What I would do is set it up for a perminate lease on the router. | 21:00 |
| _9-bit_ | anyone know what i should do? | 21:00 |
| usr13 | valiant2ex: Some wifi priters are access directly from PC to printer, (I suppose it is an AdHoc connection). If that is the case, I don't know, you will have to ask someone else. | 21:01 |
| valiant2ex | usr13 okay I'll do what I can thanks for the help | 21:01 |
| valiant2ex | ic | 21:01 |
| wile-Nile | _9-bit there is a #wine channel.if needed | 21:01 |
| BadK1tty | http://www.howforge.com/how-to-play-starcraft-on-ubuntu-edgy | 21:01 |
| _9-bit_ | ok, i'll try that | 21:01 |
| BadK1tty | thats a good link right there | 21:01 |
| _9-bit_ | just nothing happens at all, nothing opens or crashes | 21:01 |
| usr13 | valiant2ex: My printers are just connected to router via Ethernet Cables and I have them set up for perminant lease on the router. | 21:02 |
| _9-bit_ | ok i'll check that out | 21:02 |
| BadK1tty | you probably need the windows program loader for wine | 21:02 |
| valiant2ex | well the printer works on the other laptop | 21:02 |
| BadK1tty | go to the ubuntu software center and install it | 21:02 |
| valiant2ex | it's just getting this laptop to detect the printer | 21:02 |
| racho | _9-bit_: start starcraft with wine from the command line. if there are any errors they'll show up there | 21:02 |
| valiant2ex | it sees it on the network, but strangely it can't print from it lol | 21:02 |
| _9-bit_ | i'm not familiar with the command line | 21:03 |
| _9-bit_ | i'm assuming i will have to move into the directory with starcraft in it | 21:03 |
| _9-bit_ | how do i open it at that point? | 21:03 |
| BadK1tty | well no offense but you better its the future! | 21:03 |
| ulrichard | racho: I loose input about every second time. I just did the whole thing again as you wrote. But the behavior after logging in is still the same. The bars are missing. | 21:03 |
| BadK1tty | :) big smiles | 21:03 |
| _9-bit_ | i'm sure it is | 21:03 |
| BadK1tty | its not that hard really | 21:03 |
| usr13 | valiant2ex: I don't know. I do know how to set up a network printer, but as I said, some of the WiFi printers do some sort of ad-hoc connection to each individual PC that prints to it and I don't know how that works. | 21:03 |
| wile-Nile | Valiant | 21:04 |

| BadK1tty | instead of using the gui all the time to install stuff look for the command line install pages you'll get used to using it quick | 21:04 |
| valiant2ex | it's okay thanks for taking the time to help though usr13 | 21:04 |
| valiant2ex | yes wile-Nile? | 21:04 |
| wile-Nile | Have you checked that printer on the web with ubuntu | 21:04 |
| BadK1tty | the guake terminal is nice though i like it | 21:05 |
| racho | ulrichard: mmm..put all the commands in a bash file and then the next time you log in just execute it. if all is well it should log you out and fix you problem | 21:05 |

| LiNkZoR | pressing f9 during start I think it is, ubuntu shows up | 21:38 |
| HouseLegend | MokneyDust i will see if anyone else here knows ... | 21:38 |
| Dr_Willis | LiNkZoR: thats the windows bootloader stuff? You did a WUBI install inside windows? | 21:38 |
| Dr_Willis | F9 here - is the bios/pick a hard drive option - i belive. | 21:38 |
| LiNkZoR | No, I installed from a flash drive, used liveusb to install it to the flashdrive | 21:38 |
| Mace268 | is there a good cli ftp client that will get recursively? | 21:39 |
| LiNkZoR | the one with the flower for a logo | 21:39 |
| Dr_Willis | LiNkZoR: so you select the flash drive via the F9 bios option and it boots to the grub menu and you can get to linux? | 21:39 |
| LiNkZoR | No, not the flash drive, there is an entry there that says ubuntu, i click on that and THEN it loads grub | 21:39 |
| HouseLegend | Dr_Willis, when you are talking about grub already is there any config where i can set it up to boot windows insted of ubuntu atumaticaly ? | 21:39 |
| and | well thanks Mark for Ubuntu | 21:40 |
| Dr_Willis | LiNkZoR: sounds tome like its showing the Ubuntu Flash drive. and it loads grub. which would be normal | 21:40 |
| and | Ubuntu is for normal humans | 21:40 |
| LiNkZoR | Flash drive isn't even in | 21:40 |
| Dr_Willis | LiNkZoR: then you got us confused. You just said you installed to the flash drive.. or do you mean you did a NORMAL install to the hard drive. via a USB-Flash drive. | 21:41 |
| LiNkZoR | I did a normal install to the hard drive, via flash drive | 21:41 |
| abrkn | is there a trick to initctl to start if not started else restart? | 21:41 |
| Dr_Willis | LiNkZoR: so how many hard drives do you have internally? just 1? | 21:41 |
| LiNkZoR | Yes | 21:41 |
| LiNkZoR | Only one | 21:41 |
| Dr_Willis | No idea what your 'F9' menu is showing then. Unless its the bios showing the bootable partitions. | 21:42 |
| LiNkZoR | I think that is what it is showing | 21:42 |
| Dr_Willis | You could try booting to your ubuntu install. and trying the boot-repair tool or the grub tools to install grub to the MBR of the hard drive (sda) and it should boot that automatically | 21:42 |
| Dr_Willis | or just do it like you got now. :) you got a Hidden OS no one will find. ;P | 21:43 |
| LiNkZoR | Here is what shows up http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c01443326 | 21:43 |
| === add1ct3dd|away is now known as add1ct3dd | ||
| iceroot_ | is multiarch enabled autoamticly on 13.04 amd64? or is it needed to add i386 to the multiarch? | 21:44 |

| aPpYe | so no one can tell me the difference between the different versions of kwin? kwin gles, kwin active gles, ... | 21:45 |
| LiNkZoR | I've used boot repair on the partition I made, is it safe to use it on the SDA1 or what it's called? I had made a seperate partition just for it | 21:45 |
| iceroot_ | aPpYe: #kubuntu #kde | 21:45 |
| wilee-nilee | LiNkZoR, bootrepair has multiple repair possibilities, post the generated url of the bootinfo summary and explain the issues your having. | 21:46 |
| Dr_Willis | LiNkZoR: you install grub to the mbr of 'sda' normally, not sda1 | 21:46 |
| Dr_Willis | or sda2 or sda3 :) those are partitions | 21:46 |
| LiNkZoR | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6034301/ this is the last boot repair I tried | 21:47 |
| LiNkZoR | Grub does not show up doing booting | 21:47 |
| ServerTech | I just installed Ubuntu 13.04 32, but no resolution over 1024x768 is being shown. Using Intel internal graphics adapter, GMA xxx. How do I get it to support larger resolutions (I know the monitor supports 1280x1024 5:4) | 21:47 |
| wilee-nilee | LiNkZoR, That is uefi I would use the ubuntu forums, grub will not go to the mbr. | 21:48 |
| LiNkZoR | I had made a post on the askubuntu.com , should I post somewhere else? | 21:49 |
| LiNkZoR | If there's not a convienent way to fix it, I guess I could keep it like this, it's still useable and everything | 21:50 |
| wilee-nilee | LiNkZoR, The ubuntu forums has a mod who specializes in uefi, personally I would go there, here is a thread by them, if you get no help here. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295 | 21:51 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont even have a system with UEFI yet. :() so other then suggesting making sure grub is on the MBR of 'sda' or checking the bios default boot settings. Not sure what else to say | 21:51 |
| wilee-nilee | that uefi is a mystery to me. ;) | 21:52 |
| LiNkZoR | Ahh, well thanks alot guys. I'll take a look on the forums/post there, but atleast I can use ubuntu | 21:53 |
| LiNkZoR | dr_willis I tried that, it doesn't show up in the Bios, only OS manager does so grub won't star | 21:56 |
| LiNkZoR | start* | 21:56 |
| client | Hello warld | 21:56 |
| Dr_Willis | not even sure what 'os manager' is - unless its some UEFI specific tool for your machine | 21:56 |
| client | anybody awake here? | 21:57 |
| Dr_Willis | client: no. ;) | 21:57 |
| client | Dr_Willis are you american? | 21:58 |
| Extreminador | why does the mouse and touchpad does not have a option build in to turn off touchpad when a mouse is plug in ? | 21:58 |
| Extreminador | *"mouse and touchpad" menu | 21:58 |
| client | do you want to deactivate the mousepad firmware? | 21:59 |
| client | I would suggest not doing it, but do you? | 21:59 |
| Dr_Willis | could proberly be done so via some udev rules. | 21:59 |
| LiNkZoR | Bye, thanks for the help | 21:59 |
| Dr_Willis | but if they goofed up. you could be with out a touchpad | 21:59 |
| Extreminador | firmware client ohhhh | 21:59 |
| Extreminador | Dr_Willis i did have to downoad a program that do that... and i need to put that program to init | 22:00 |
| Extreminador | called synaptics or something | 22:00 |
| Dr_Willis | synapatics is a brand of touch pad. it may have some config tools in the repos | 22:01 |
| client | Dr_Willis are you american? | 22:01 |
| Dr_Willis | client: why does it matter? | 22:02 |
| client | I need a favour from an american :D | 22:02 |
| Dr_Willis | good luck with that. | 22:02 |
| Extreminador | Dr_Willis yup, but my question is why did i had to download the tool... such option should be already exits in ubuntu | 22:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Extreminador: ask the gnome devs perhaps? | 22:02 |
| iceroot_ | Extreminador: because not everyone has a touchpoad so why should it be installed bny default? | 22:02 |
| Extreminador | lool i am sure they are here somewhere no ? | 22:03 |
| client | oh u not willing to assist? | 22:03 |
| Dr_Willis | client: you are basically offtopic. and being vague. so i suggest asking in #ubuntu-offtopic | 22:03 |
| client | ok thanks mate | 22:03 |
| Extreminador | iceroot_ i am not left-handed but unbuu have that option for mouse | 22:04 |
| genii | !info gsynaptics | 22:04 |
| ubottu | gsynaptics (source: gpointing-device-settings): configuration tool for pointing devices (transitional package). In component universe, is optional. Version 1.5.1-6ubuntu2 (raring), package size 1 kB, installed size 28 kB | 22:04 |
| Extreminador | iceroot_ just an example | 22:04 |
| Dr_Willis | a huge 28kB installed. ;) | 22:04 |
| Dr_Willis | theres 1000's of things that 'should be installed by default' ;) but then you end up with a 9+GB iso file. | 22:05 |
| iceroot_ | Extreminador: and i want a real editor installed by default but there is no editor installed by default, so thats life and the good thing is you are free to install what you want :) | 22:05 |
| iceroot_ | Extreminador: there is no system which fits all needs with 100% | 22:06 |
| Extreminador | Dr_Willis i understand that but for example ... it has as well an option to deactivate the touchpah when we are writing on keyboard | 22:06 |
| iceroot_ | Dr_Willis: the main problems are the dependencies | 22:06 |
| iceroot_ | Dr_Willis: it depends on some driver packages and so on, so more then 28kb | 22:06 |
| * Dr_Willis installs everythibng | 22:07 | |
| Dr_Willis | ;) | 22:07 |
| Extreminador | humm thougt that it was only 3 or 4 lines of code for this... but yehh iceroot_ you are right | 22:07 |
| Extreminador | there are many mouses tip's | 22:07 |
| iceroot_ | and we already face issues with a to big iso, the current isos dont fit on a cd | 22:08 |
| Dr_Willis | then you got people saying 'im using a dvd to burn it to! so Fill that thing up!' | 22:08 |
| Dr_Willis | ;) | 22:09 |
| iceroot_ | Dr_Willis: and then it will not fit anymore on a dvd :) | 22:09 |
| Extreminador | and is that such a big issue iceroot_ ? | 22:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Then you got Dual Layer DVD ;) then Blueray | 22:09 |
| Dr_Willis | not fitting on a cd - was a HUGE issue when it first happened. had people in here every day complaining about it | 22:09 |
| iceroot_ | Extreminador: if you want to use cds, maybe your pc is only able to boot from cd instead of usb, yes | 22:09 |
| HouseLegend | Anyone has some experience and can help me out with setting up 5.1 in Ubuntu 13.04 ? | 22:10 |
| Extreminador | i mean in this days cd are being out dated for example and 500GB hard rives are being as well out of date | 22:10 |
| Dr_Willis | HouseLegend: from my experience. i just plugged in the speakers.. and played a source/video that had 5.1 and it worked. | 22:10 |
| iceroot_ | Extreminador: and what is the problem about sudo apt-get install packagename? | 22:10 |
| Extreminador | well if you know what to look for none | 22:10 |
| HouseLegend | Dr_Willis, im getting only my front 2 speakers to work ... | 22:11 |
| iceroot_ | Extreminador: there are so many more useful packages which should be installed by default then a mpouse setting thing (vim, screen, openssh-server, gimp) | 22:11 |
| Dr_Willis | I would like to see a 'common extra packages' cd for ubuntu - to help out these people without internet connection | 22:11 |
| Extreminador | but if you are new and you don´t know what to look for well... | 22:11 |
| HouseLegend | Dr_Willis, just stereo channel | 22:11 |
| Dr_Willis | HouseLegend: and what sort of sound file are you playing and how are you playing it? | 22:11 |
| iceroot_ | Dr_Willis: the dvd version :) | 22:11 |
| s2013 | i installed sublime text in ubuntu but i cant seem to find it. it only opens up when i type subl in the terminal | 22:11 |
| HouseLegend | Dr_Willis, mp3 with Rythmbox | 22:11 |
| Dr_Willis | HouseLegend: are you sure the mp3 has 5.1 channels? | 22:11 |
| s2013 | how would i find the application and add it to my dock? | 22:12 |
| HouseLegend | Dr_Willis sound check and in settings it shows only 2 speakers so ... | 22:12 |
| iceroot_ | Extreminador: you are right, its not that easy if you dont know the packagename | 22:12 |
| iceroot_ | Extreminador: but sometimes the search function in the software center is not that bad | 22:12 |
| Dr_Willis | s2013: the webupd8 or omgubuntu site. and I belive askubuntu.com and the sublime forums - had guides on making a launcher for it. | 22:12 |
| iceroot_ | Extreminador: touchpad config for example should be a useful search string | 22:12 |
| s2013 | i mean i cant even find the actual app | 22:12 |
| s2013 | how do i open it? | 22:12 |
| Extreminador | iceroot_ very true this ubuntu software center is very nice indeed | 22:13 |
| peyam | s2013, what is the issue? | 22:13 |
| Dr_Willis | HouseLegend: so the system is only showing stero speakers. Mine showed 5.1 with no setup on my part. but this was a year+ ago. | 22:13 |
| s2013 | i cant find the application to open it | 22:13 |
| peyam | s2013, opening what? | 22:13 |
| s2013 | sublime text | 22:13 |
| Dr_Willis | s2013: id have to refer you to the sublime forums and faq. and docs. | 22:13 |
| peyam | is it a .txt? | 22:13 |
| s2013 | no | 22:13 |
| s2013 | just applications in genearl | 22:13 |
| s2013 | im new to ubuntu | 22:13 |
| Dr_Willis | its a text editor people seem tobe goofy about | 22:13 |
| Dr_Willis | ;) | 22:13 |
| jayar | i'm getting the error "only root can mount //servername/sharename on /media/sharename" and i've put the credentials stuff in fstab... | 22:13 |
| s2013 | how do i open an application? | 22:14 |
| Dr_Willis | s2013: you just said the binary name was 'subl' | 22:14 |
| s2013 | or create shortcut in desktop/launcher | 22:14 |
| HouseLegend | Dr_Willis, What should i do ... I have no luck setting it up on my own | 22:14 |
| s2013 | yes | 22:14 |
| s2013 | it works only from terminal | 22:14 |
| peyam | s2013, just double click on it? what is ur dist specification? | 22:14 |
| Dr_Willis | s2013: theres numerous guides out there on making launchers. (13.10 makes it easier) | 22:14 |
| s2013 | i cannot find it | 22:14 |
| peyam | s2013, do you use ubuntu 13.04? | 22:14 |
| Dr_Willis | which subl will show its path | 22:14 |

| alazyworkaholic | Is there any way I can take a screenshot while I'm using a full-screen application that doesn't respond to the "print screen" key? Maybe even dump a frame to a file every 5 seconds? | 23:14 |
| Anonynimity | Wilee-Nilee : Running ubuntu 13.04 (raring ringtail) | 23:15 |
| pendos_ | Can someone help me figure out why xrandr can't detect my external monitor on my laptop at all? I have an HD intel graphics 4000 graphics card. Thank you! | 23:15 |
| Anonynimity | Have you tried modprobe pendos_ | 23:16 |
| wilee-nilee | Anonynimity, Try running the stock kernel 3.8 | 23:16 |
| Anonynimity | how do I revert to stock kernel? | 23:16 |
| wilee-nilee | Anonynimity, grub boot menu | 23:16 |
| pendos_ | I upgraded to 3.10.9 | 23:16 |
| Anonynimity | Raring has been doing this for quite a while. wilee-nilee and since I did an update and auto-remove, the stock kernel is no longer avaliable. | 23:16 |
| Anonynimity | fml | 23:17 |
| wilee-nilee | Anonynimity, Thats the only thing that occurs to me. | 23:17 |
| Anonynimity | but I'm not about to do a fresh install and lose all my data... | 23:17 |
| Anonynimity | is there another file manager I can use other than dolphin and nautilus? | 23:17 |
| wilee-nilee | pendos_, What release is this? | 23:18 |
| wilee-nilee | Anonynimity, Your not backed up? | 23:19 |
| Anonynimity | backed up with what? | 23:19 |
| pendos_ | Uhm... actually I'm running crunchbang 11, but I thought that maybe any fixes for Ubuntu could also apply to me. everyone on the crunchbang channel is just as baffled as I am. | 23:19 |
| wilee-nilee | Anonynimity, many different ways. | 23:20 |
| wilee-nilee | pendos_, not supported here. | 23:20 |
| Anonynimity | I have 223 gigs of data on this computer, and no external hard drive.... | 23:20 |
| Anonynimity | I don't have any data disks either. | 23:20 |
| Anonynimity | and I'm pretty sure an online backup isn't going to be offered for free with that much data | 23:20 |
| wilee-nilee | Anonynimity, Ah, bummer, well things fail, I would be prepared. | 23:21 |
| IMTheNachoMan | is vnc + ssh port forwarding the best way to access my machine from the internet? is there nothing better available? | 23:21 |
| Anonynimity | here's the funny thing wilee-nilee: I took my os from 12.04 LTS to 13.04 Beta testing, (had to do a few minor installs and upgrades)... | 23:22 |
| Anonynimity | after the update to the final release is when the nautilus started acting up | 23:23 |
| kabamaro | hello, i installed yum on my ubuntu | 23:23 |
| kabamaro | but i cannot find any packages when i use it | 23:23 |
| Anonynimity | congrats. | 23:23 |
| kabamaro | like yum install httpd | 23:23 |
| kabamaro | No package httpd available. | 23:23 |
| Orxata_ | Is there a way to look which packages where installed by source and which by apt-get? | 23:23 |
| Anonynimity | try adding the yum repos kabamaro. | 23:23 |
| wilee-nilee | Anonynimity, don't advise that | 23:23 |
| qin | kabamaro: yum? | 23:24 |
| kabamaro | how do i do that Anonynimity | 23:24 |
| wilee-nilee | kabamaro, yum is fedora that is a mistake | 23:24 |
| qin | kabamaro: what is wrong eith apt? | 23:24 |
| kabamaro | root@user-Veriton-B02:~# cat /etc/issue | 23:24 |
| kabamaro | Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS \n \l | 23:24 |
| kabamaro | root@user-Veriton-B02:~# | 23:24 |

| kabamaro | apt is no good | 23:24 |
| kabamaro | im trying apt-get install php | 23:24 |
| kabamaro | it says no packages found | 23:24 |
| qin | kabamaro: apt-get upadate? | 23:25 |
| Orxata_ | apt-cache search? | 23:25 |
| Anonynimity | to view installed packages, try using dpkg --get-selections -v | grep install | 23:26 |
| wilee-nilee | kabamaro, Lets see if this is correct you have installed yum and your running in root, or have the terminal in root? | 23:26 |
| kabamaro | terminal | 23:26 |
| qin | kabamaro: silly: apt-get install php5 | 23:26 |
| wilee-nilee | thats a bad habit | 23:27 |
| kabamaro | qin thank you sir | 23:27 |
| kabamaro | thats what i needed | 23:27 |
| Orxata_ | LOL | 23:27 |
| Anonynimity | or you can use aptitude search '? installed ?not(?automatic)' | 23:27 |
| qin | kabamaro: and get rid of yum stuff... | 23:27 |

| elvis4526 | hey guys, im pretty stunned with these benchmarks: http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/graphics/openarena/ | 23:32 |
| elvis4526 | I mean, what the hell how is it possible that you can get an extra of 20 fps approx in some case compared to X ?? | 23:33 |
| SuperGauntlet | elvis4526: i mean X is pretty bad | 23:33 |
| === NOTrotorgeek is now known as rotorgeek | ||
| elvis4526 | SuperGauntlet: Yeah, but it's xmir, so it's still xorg underground. Isn't ? | 23:33 |
| SuperGauntlet | I believe it's an xorg compatability layer, though I'm not sure | 23:34 |
| alazyworkaholic | Is there a way to get a screenshot of the desktop remotely through a command line? | 23:34 |

| Anonynimity | and of course, coffee. | 23:38 |
| alazyworkaholic | Or even just getting it to take pictures every 5 seconds for one minute would work. It has the count feature, but I don't know how to repeat that 20 times. | 23:38 |
| alazyworkaholic | could a little bash script work? | 23:38 |
| wilee-nilee | elvis4526, I see #mir but its a music channel of some sort, I think there is a channel on the mir addition to ubuntu though ask in #ubuntu+1 | 23:39 |

| genii | kabamaro: What are you using for mail? postfix, exim4, other? | 23:51 |
| kabamaro | i installed postfix | 23:52 |
| kabamaro | it worked fine now | 23:52 |
| kabamaro | thanks | 23:52 |
| RoyK | kabamaro: heh - postfix is wee bit easier to handle ;) | 23:52 |
