| wilee-nilee | eden_, the gnome shell is in the repos, you need to remember what you have done. If it is correct choosing it from the login will default it to that choice at the login. | 00:10 |

| deezed | downbeam: and? | 00:13 |
| Bowbles | I am pretty much using this exact vhost config: https://code.google.com/p/pcaphar/issues/detail?id=18#c11 | 00:13 |
| downbeam | it said sorry no results deezed | 00:13 |
| Bowbles | And I am just looking for more logging as to why it failed to start | 00:13 |
| deezed | downbeam: can you open a terminal and run 'sudo gparted' | 00:14 |
| jrib | Bowbles: you can try "apache2ctl configtest" | 00:14 |
| wilee-nilee | gparted has to be installed | 00:14 |
| deezed | wilee-nilee: oh, sorry, its not ubuntu's 13.04 default? | 00:14 |

| Nikon | I'm in windows at the moment and i dont have a issue | 00:53 |
| Ari-Yang | Nikon, what kind of graphics does your laptop have? | 00:54 |
| wilee-nilee | themanwithnoface, the kernels and grub are updated through the ubuntu repos in any release, however they may not ne the latest released to the public, but the ones the developers have setup to run in ubuntu | 00:54 |
| Nikon | Ati | 00:54 |
| Ari-Yang | Nikon, what card? | 00:54 |
| ben_linus | thanks | 00:54 |

| Ari-Yang | can you be more specific? | 00:54 |

| Ari-Yang | hmm | 00:55 |
| Matisse | melanie, try dmesg | grep -C3 irq .... but if that gives you 1000 lines... it wont be helpful :) | 00:55 |
| Ari-Yang | Nikon, the only thing that comes to my mind of ATI/AMD laptops overheating with ubuntu is the open source radeon driver...which is known for making laptop's hot | 00:55 |
| themanwithnoface | wilee-nilee: ahhh i see i see, so like defaults , right? ok, .. poop. i just upgraded to 3.9 .. lol ah well. how do i find out what the newest stable version of grub is? im on the homepage.. | 00:55 |
| wilee-nilee | themanwithnoface, why are you worried about grub? | 00:55 |
| Nikon | Ari-Yang: i was concered about the kernal, 3.0 if i remember correctly has problems with over heating | 00:55 |

| Ari-Yang | Nikon, though when I installed ubuntu on this laptop, I could install it, it didn't overheat :/ | 00:56 |
| Matisse | melanie, then just paste dmesg | 00:56 |
| Nikon | wilee-nilee: i was going to install 11.04 to install then update to the lts | 00:57 |

| Ari-Yang | subcool, need more details, too vauge... | 00:58 |
| jrib | subcool: give details when you ask your question (use a pastebin for errors, logs, commands, etc.) | 00:58 |

| subcool | java-jre is not updating... it erros | 00:59 |
| jrib | subcool: 1) -f install is not a command 2) give full input and output in a pastebin | 00:59 |
| wilee-nilee | themanwithnoface, the grub in the ubuntu repos is considered stable I have never had a problem with it. I am sensing a b it of a flailing about here am I correct. ;) | 00:59 |
| Ari-Yang | Matisse, you may know that libreoffice 4.0 may not be in ubuntu's official repos (which tend to have stable things). Though you can get a 4.0 repo with a stable version | 01:00 |
| themanwithnoface | wilee-nilee: hmm? lol what do you mean? i am a hypochondriac with computers that's for sure... :( | 01:00 |
| Ari-Yang | Matisse, can't remember which is more stable between 4.0 and 4.1 | 01:00 |
| wilee-nilee | themanwithnoface, Ah, you have to be careful with an OS your given enough power to brick easily is all. | 01:01 |
| Matisse | Ari-Yang, i just want to know if 4.0 is stable with 12.04 ... and i think that wilee-nilee uses something newer | 01:01 |

| Matisse | melanie, dmesg > log-dmesg.txt | 01:02 |
| Ari-Yang | Matisse, latest stable is 4.1.0, which should be stable on all ubuntu versions | 01:02 |
| Ari-Yang | just try it | 01:02 |
| Ari-Yang | and if things go wrong, you can always uninstall it, Matisse. | 01:02 |
| Matisse | ok, thx | 01:02 |
| Ari-Yang | yw | 01:03 |
| melanie | Matisse: the pastebin link i posted should work... but the output of dmesg isn't looking too helpful | 01:03 |

| themanwithnoface | wilee-nilee: i see... noted and thanks friend :) i'm really just procrastinating on my C work... | 01:04 |
| wilee-nilee | themanwithnoface, I would not update it out of what the distro provides in general unless there is an obvious fail. | 01:04 |

| themanwithnoface | anyone else experience the bug in 13.04 where randomly adjusting brightness with the buttons or settings causes ubuntu to fatally freeze? | 01:30 |
| themanwithnoface | also what do you do in a fata freeze situation.. i heard | 01:30 |
| themanwithnoface | alt + F1 or something but it didnt work | 01:31 |
| themanwithnoface | *fatal | 01:31 |
| kairos | themanwithnoface: CTRL+ALT+F<1-8> opens up terminals | 01:31 |
| holstein | themanwithnoface: fatal, like, you cant do anything? you wont be able to do anything | 01:31 |
| themanwithnoface | holstein: kairos ahhh crap, so i can only hard reboot? isnt that really bad? | 01:32 |
| DouglasK | question, how does one detach all byobu sessions? | 01:32 |
| Ben64 | themanwithnoface: you could try to ssh in | 01:32 |
| holstein | themanwithnoface: you can try tty.. as suggested | 01:32 |
| holstein | !tty | themanwithnoface | 01:32 |
| ubottu | themanwithnoface: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution | 01:32 |

| subcool | Ok- here is something. And its not something ive seen before http://paste.ubuntu.com/6038602 | 01:33 |
| holstein | subcool: you'll just need to clean those up.. i usually just remove what is offending.. purge PPA's if there are any.. etc | 01:34 |
| holstein | subcool: im also assuming you ran sudo apt-get update at some point | 01:35 |
| subcool | holstein, yeah, but- the javaapp is just really mad | 01:35 |

| subcool | holstein, i cant remove it, i cant force it.. and now its serisoul affect me.. | 01:38 |
| holstein | subcool: did you add a PPA? | 01:38 |
| subcool | that- i doont know about | 01:39 |
| holstein | subcool: this is what i would run.. sudo apt-get autoremove icedtea-6-jre-jamvm openjdk-6-jre icedtea-6-jre-cacao openjdk-6-jdk | 01:40 |
| holstein | then, i would look at my sources.. see that i have no PPA's added that are "broken"... then, i would run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and see that that completes with no errors | 01:41 |
| holstein | *then* i would refer to the java wiki.. | 01:41 |
| holstein | !java | 01:41 |
| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 01:41 |

| nerdtron | record as normal voice and then pass a filter in audacity to alter your voice | 02:44 |
| majornick | ok so record normal and then "audacity" is the app i use to filter the audio? | 02:44 |
| Gnarly | yes, that can adjust the timbre and the like in the same program | 02:45 |

| BoTB22323 | Can i get the commands under ubuntu/wine using a terminal to do so? | 05:19 |
| james-ubc | so my bash prompt right now is (precise)james@localhost:~$ how would I get rid of the (precise) part? | 05:24 |
| james-ubc | happend on an update | 05:24 |
| gbushprogs | that's something I've never seen | 05:24 |
| james-ubc | meneither | 05:25 |
| Flre | Intresting. | 05:25 |
| gbushprogs | what does "echo $PS1" say | 05:26 |
| wilee-nilee | james-ubc, number of hits on the web this looks easiest. http://askubuntu.com/questions/145618/how-can-i-shorten-my-command-line-bash-prompt | 05:28 |
| wilee-nilee | this one two https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomizingBashPrompt | 05:28 |
| james-ubc | \[\e]0;(precise)\u@\h: \w\a\]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ | 05:28 |
| james-ubc | I'm looking at my .bashrc | 05:29 |
| james-ubc | and there's no refrence to (precise) | 05:29 |
| james-ubc | very strange | 05:30 |
| gbushprogs | oh, it looks like an update just added (precise) into your prompt | 05:30 |
| gbushprogs | try executing: export PS1="\[\e]0;\u@\h: \w\a\]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$" | 05:33 |
| === DouglasK is now known as DouglasKAway | ||
| wilee-nilee | \[\e]0;============>(precise)<---------------\u@\h: | 05:33 |
| === elementary is now known as truska | ||
| gbushprogs | the easy way to fix that permanently is to put the export command at the end of your .bashrc file. That's the dirty way to do it. | 05:35 |
| james-ubc | that doesn't appear to have done anything when executed | 05:37 |
| gbushprogs | hrm | 05:37 |
| james-ubc | strangest thing ever or what? | 05:38 |
| gbushprogs | It's just odd that Google has nothing, ROFL | 05:39 |
| james-ubc | IDK where else to look | 05:39 |
| james-ubc | for the refrence | 05:39 |
| james-ubc | like whats setting it | 05:39 |
| gbushprogs | If google doesn't have it, it must not be on the Internet -- lol, j/k | 05:40 |
| james-ubc | that's almost true | 05:40 |
| wilee-nilee | I posted two links | 05:41 |
| wilee-nilee | tons on the web | 05:41 |
| gbushprogs | did you find your PS1="somethingsomething" line in your .bashrc? | 05:43 |
| james-ubc | yup | 05:43 |
| gbushprogs | does it have (precise) in the middle of it? | 05:43 |
| james-ubc | no "(precise)" or similar in the file | 05:43 |
| gbushprogs | darn | 05:43 |
| james-ubc | that's what's confusing me so much | 05:44 |
| gbushprogs | do you have a .bash_aliases file? | 05:45 |
| james-ubc | nope | 05:45 |
| lord_daemon | I think I'll sleep | 05:47 |
| james-ubc | what else can set $PS1? | 05:48 |
| magnetron | hi, how would i restrict which usb devices can be recognized on which ports? i want to put my computer at a physically secure location and extend the USB to a certain point, but i only want a specific device being able to connect to that USB port | 05:48 |
| jpds | magnetron: udev rules. | 05:49 |
| magnetron | jpds: good. would i have to edit all the udev rules for all supported devices, to be able to restrict them? | 05:49 |
| jpds | magnetron: Of course, someone could fake the USB ID of a device. | 05:49 |
| magnetron | jpds: yes, but as long as they don't fake another type of USB device, i don't care | 05:50 |
| jpds | magnetron: No, you create a file with some rules that say: "allow *this* device" and another telling it to ignore the rest. | 05:50 |
| reveal | Ben64: I installed ubuntu 12 not a big fan of the gui LOL | 05:50 |
| jpds | magnetron: I've done it before, but can't remmeber the syntax off the top of my head. | 05:50 |
| gbushprogs | james: I would think any process running with your credentials could edit your $PS1 | 05:51 |
| jpds | magnetron: You'll want to put this in /etc/udev/rules.d . | 05:51 |
| reveal | gbushprogs: doesnt it have to have perm for /etc/profile | 05:51 |
| jpds | magnetron: And see: /lib/udev/rules.d and the README file there for inspiration. | 05:51 |
| jpds | go df | 05:51 |
| Silver_Arrow | I seem to have all the correct libraries installed, but ubuntu won't recognize the controller | 05:52 |
| magnetron | jpds: i'll look into it, thx | 05:54 |
| Ben64 | reveal: you can use whichever gui you want | 05:54 |
| james-ubc | blah | 05:55 |
| james-ubc | i'll do this tmr | 05:55 |
| james-ubc | thanks | 05:55 |
| gbushprogs | reveal -- not if it's executing a change to the $PS1 variable after /etc/profile has already executed and .bashrc has already executed. Seems like something could be added to /etc/profile to execute another file and change $PS1 | 05:55 |
| gbushprogs | In which case, in light of /etc/profile and .bashrc there's a few places to hide a "(precise)" in there somewhere. | 05:56 |
| gbushprogs | oh well, chances are he logs in tomorrow and it doesn't do it, ROFL, I love computers | 05:57 |

| jonascj | backports... "apt-get install package/release-backports", should release the the release you want to install it in or should it be the release you want the package from? E.g. I'm on precise (12.04) and want a package from Raring (13.04)? | 06:13 |
| MikeD412 | I want to dual boot between win 8/ubuntu on my laptop, but I don't think its letting me.. I went into the windows disk editor, made like 30GB unallocated space and turned it into an ntfs volume, and then booted the ubuntu setup up... i chose something else...but i looked at it confused...and i don't want to mess it up | 06:23 |
| usr13 | MikeD412: Delete the new NTFS partition and use the free space. (Ubuntu doesn't use NTFS.) | 06:26 |
| MikeD412 | so...de-shrink it? | 06:27 |
| usr13 | MikeD412: No | 06:27 |
| usr13 | MikeD412: Delete the new NTFS partition and use the free space. (Ubuntu doesn't use NTFS.) | 06:27 |
| MikeD412 | ok | 06:28 |
| MikeD412 | did that | 06:28 |
| usr13 | MikeD412: Now you can create partitions that Ubuntu will use. | 06:28 |
| usr13 | MikeD412: How much RAM do you have? | 06:28 |
| MikeD412 | 4gb | 06:29 |
| usr13 | MikeD412: Create a 4G swap partition, use the rest for a partition for / (root). | 06:30 |
| usr13 | MikeD412: The other 26G or so for / | 06:30 |
| MikeD412 | ok | 06:31 |
| usr13 | MikeD412: How big is the Hard Drive? | 06:31 |
| MikeD412 | like 400+gb | 06:31 |
| MikeD412 | my c drive | 06:31 |
| usr13 | MikeD412: Your hard drive. | 06:32 |
| MikeD412 | my c drive is my hdd | 06:32 |
| usr13 | MikeD412: So what does "c drive" mean? (Think about it....) | 06:32 |
| user258467 | I click on an Icon on my dock and nothing happen is there a log for that problem? | 06:33 |
| usr13 | MikeD412: Continue with the install. | 06:33 |
| usr13 | MikeD412: So, by now, you realize that your "c drive" is *not* your hdd. Right? | 06:34 |
| MikeD412 | yeah | 06:35 |
| usr13 | MikeD412: Your Hard Drive consists of several partitions, (the "c drive" is what MS Windows calls one of them). | 06:35 |
| MikeD412 | k | 06:37 |
| MrSassyPants | update-rc.d , but what's the menu-based one called? | 06:37 |
| usr13 | MrSassyPants: It is the way you introduce new init scripts to your system. | 06:38 |
| MrSassyPants | usr13, er, yea, but iirc there was some menu based thing where you got a list of start scripts | 06:39 |
| MrSassyPants | and you could just toggle them on and off | 06:39 |
| MrSassyPants | rcconf! that was it | 06:40 |
| usr13 | !upstart | MrSassyPants | 06:40 |
| ubottu | MrSassyPants: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 06:40 |
| ese | hi, you guys know a fix for skype iun 12.04 32 bits why is not logging? | 06:40 |
| usr13 | !info rcconf | MrSassyPants | 06:41 |
| ubottu | MrSassyPants: rcconf (source: rcconf): Debian Runlevel configuration tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.5ubuntu2 (raring), package size 20 kB, installed size 108 kB | 06:41 |
| usr13 | MrSassyPants: you can start or stop your individual services with the command service | 06:42 |
| MrSassyPants | usr13, oook. | 06:42 |
| MrSassyPants | thanks. | 06:43 |
| nowayride | Hey guys, any ideas on this? I installed mumble and during the audio setup input got mangled, my mic is only receiving nothing or very loud (like yelling into the mic) input, tried even uninistalling mumble/pulseaudio, running full updates, reinstalling, nothing | 06:45 |
| nowayride | It's not just mumble, it's reflected in the input setting screen, the meter only moves when it's overly loud | 06:46 |

| usr13 | ese: What do you mean, "i can login with my browser"? | 06:50 |
| usr13 | ese: Oh,... You are saying that you can't get skype to login? | 06:51 |
| ese | usr13, not in skype but in my browser am in, skype in my windows 7 partition logs in fine. | 06:52 |
| usr13 | ese: What is the problem? | 06:52 |
| nowayride | Ubuntu firewall maybe? | 06:53 |
| ese | when i log in the blue circle keeps spinning and thats it, never passes that. | 06:53 |

| usr13 | ese: http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-computer/ | 06:54 |
| ShapeShifter499 | I have java 7 and 6 installed but only the java 6 plugin shows up in firefox, how do I get the java 7 plugin to work? I run ubuntu 13.04 64bit | 06:54 |
| usr13 | ese: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 06:55 |
| ese | http://community.skype.com/t5/Linux/Can-t-sign-in-Ubuntu-12-04/td-p/838226 | 06:55 |
| ese | usr13, yes my box is uptodate | 06:55 |
| usr13 | ese: Did you rm ~/.Skype ? | 06:56 |
| ese | usr13, i was wonder if you guys come on with the solution, because i been googloing some time now, nothing i can found about it | 06:56 |
| ese | yes i try rm -rf .Skype and login with my hotmail and my skype accounts same problem | 06:57 |
| usr13 | ese: hotmail? | 06:57 |
| usr13 | ese: (I don't know about hotmail or what it has to do with skype.) | 06:57 |
| smaudet | ShapeShifter499: remove the java 6 plugin, or better yet, java 6 if you don't need it | 06:58 |
| ese | yes ...the new skype have two options, login with skype credentials or msn credentials, i choose both with no luck | 06:58 |
| smaudet | ShapeShifter499: otherwise make sure java 7 is default, with update-alternatives | 06:58 |
| usr13 | ese: Sounds like skype is broken. | 06:58 |
| ese | usr13, my msn is a hotmial account | 06:58 |
| usr13 | ese: Yea, got it. | 06:58 |
| usr13 | ese: Just sounds like skype is broken, Maybe they will get around to fixing it sometime soon... | 06:59 |
| ese | usr13, yes, looks like because i been looking for an answer but nothing so far | 06:59 |
| ShapeShifter499 | smaudet, ohh I forgot about "update-alternatives", yea I need java 6 for some android stuff | 06:59 |
| sett | i had to remove pulseaudio and everything worked fine, today i wake up and it's installed again wtf | 06:59 |
| ese | one guy sugest running with root but i dont want to do that | 06:59 |
| usr13 | ese: Try downloading from http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-beta-ubuntu-32 | 07:00 |
| usr13 | ese: Re-install? | 07:00 |
| ese | usr13, i may try running from root skype for testing, hmmm | 07:00 |
| usr13 | ese: Really? Why would you do that? | 07:00 |
| sett | what music player is most used now? any advice? just need names | 07:01 |

| quick- | sett: Rythombox | 07:01 |
| quick- | sett banshee | 07:02 |
| usr13 | ese: Yea. Don't do it. | 07:02 |
| usr13 | ese: My notion is this; Microsoft will see that skype works ok on the Microsoft Windows platforms. They will not worry so much about how it runs on Ubuntu. (Maybe if [Ubuntu] users want skype bad enough, they will convert to Microsoft platforms.) (I may be over critical, but just my notion.) | 07:05 |
| ese | usr13, i installed skype-beta, am rebooting because i elso install something else thats is asking me to reboot, brb thanks | 07:05 |
| usr13 | ese: Other than that, I'd say try uninstalling it and download directly from skype.com and re-install. | 07:05 |

| legend321 | Is Medibuntu illegal to use? Lately i tried everything to eliminate static sounds coming out from ubuntu(including downloading ubuntu restricted extras), but it was of no use. Then i downloaded and installed some packages from medibuntu and it fixed my problem. | 08:00 |

| cfhowlett | legend321, not illegal .... | 08:01 |
| smaudet | legend321: although there is plenty of non-gray stuff in medibuntu | 08:01 |

| MindSpark | ghost_: which part? after booting? | 08:04 |
| MindSpark | ghost_: or before loading the startup screen? | 08:04 |
| MindSpark | roninn: on your screen :) | 08:04 |
| smaudet | ghost_: if you want you should be able to choose a 'more details' option, and you should have some sort of error notification show up in your task bar | 08:04 |
| MindSpark | roninn: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/io-redirection.html | 08:05 |

| gordonjcp | !zombie | 08:07 |
| gordonjcp | oh, no factoid for that | 08:07 |
| bibi32 | MindSpark: so this has nothing to do with umask? | 08:07 |
| ese | gordonjcp, yes, this flaw is big on skype | 08:07 |
| gordonjcp | ese: you could try contacting the authors, but it's unlikely they'll ever fix it | 08:08 |
| gordonjcp | ese: well the zombie processes don't really cause a problem as such | 08:08 |
| gordonjcp | ese: it's not the biggest problem Skype has | 08:08 |
| smaudet | ese: where bad program are concerned, contact authors. Where authors are unavailable, obtain source. Where source is unavaible, stop using that program. | 08:08 |
| nowayride | Pidgin really enjoys leaving zombies too | 08:09 |
| MindSpark | bibi32: not sure if you can set gid/uid using umask. But you just need to chmod u-s or chmod g-s on the parent dir | 08:09 |
| smaudet | And purge all copies of it from your hdd | 08:09 |

| smaudet | nowayride: last step, stop using Skype and use something else | 08:10 |
| nowayride | Probably the only legit step with SKype | 08:10 |

| cfhowlett | lesser_panda, don't know, never heard of it. | 08:29 |
| blazemore | lesser_panda: Sort of, but less clunky | 08:29 |
| bibi32 | my umask is 0002, when I create a file it is 664, shouldn't this be 775? | 08:29 |
| smaudet | lesser_panda: rule of apps on android (not an android expert); if its not popular, you're lucky if it works | 08:29 |
| lesser_panda | Ah good blazemore, glad to hear it. | 08:29 |
| smaudet | lesser_panda: xda forums seems to full of people who know android | 08:30 |
| MindSpark | ghost_: I recommend you delete the .cache dir in your homedir and login again | 08:31 |
| MindSpark | if this doesn't work, move the .config dir to something like .config-old and see if the error goes away, if it does, it's some misconfiguration | 08:32 |
| smaudet | MindSpark: I suppose, but there are literally hundreds of reasons it could be erroring | 08:32 |
| smaudet | You can't cover every case just because someone doesn't give more details. | 08:32 |
| smaudet | The best you can really say in that case is "re-install ubuntu" | 08:33 |
| MindSpark | smaudet: like you said, probably a config problem. But just to make sure it is, that's a quick and sloppy method to find out | 08:33 |
| smaudet | Which I do not recommend | 08:33 |
| smaudet | MindSpark: I've had very few problems with my .config files, maybe I'm just lucky | 08:34 |
| MindSpark | smaudet: there's no need to reinstall anything if X loads and he can log in and everything. | 08:34 |
| smaudet | usually when stuff goes kerplut a package maintainer did something stupid | 08:34 |
| smaudet | And the config is buried in the system somewhere, or there's another compatability | 08:34 |
| smaudet | compatability issue | 08:34 |
| smaudet | So yes, re-install is about the only pat-way of ensuring that 'out of the box' 'just works' | 08:34 |
| MindSpark | smaudet: this is a user specific configuration issue. I am almost sure if he uses a different user the error won't popup again. | 08:35 |
| smaudet | Since that's at least supposed to be QA'ed and working | 08:35 |
| smaudet | MindSpark: you don't even know that | 08:35 |
| smaudet | Its likely, yes | 08:35 |
| smaudet | But you could just be wasting his time and configuration | 08:35 |
| MindSpark | smaudet: we're trying to troubleshoot and think together here | 08:35 |
| cfhowlett | MindSpark, easily tested. create a new user and see | 08:35 |
| ghost_ | smaudet : yes that is my error, http://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screenshot-from-2013-03-26-205909.png | 08:35 |
| MindSpark | that's why I recommended to move the configuration to another name | 08:35 |
| smaudet | MindSpark: its not a bad suggestion, but its a rather drastic one | 08:36 |
| MindSpark | why drastic? | 08:36 |
| smaudet | Because it removes all your configuration? (most of it anyways) | 08:36 |
| MindSpark | you move your config dir into confi.old. If it doesn't work, you move it back and as if nothing happened | 08:36 |
| smaudet | You're throwing out the baby with the bathwater | 08:36 |
| MindSpark | huh? | 08:36 |
| smaudet | If he's made any changes | 08:37 |
| smaudet | he loses the good ones with the bad ones | 08:37 |
| timfrost | bibi32: For a umask of 002, a file with 664 is correct, because the EXEC bit isn't set by default | 08:37 |
| ghost_ | MindSpark : how to delete cache in my homedir | 08:37 |
| MindSpark | smaudet: did you read what I suggested? | 08:37 |
| smaudet | And if he can't find the old config error, likelyhood is he won't know how to find the 'good' stuff | 08:37 |
| smaudet | even if he keeps a backup | 08:37 |
| smaudet | yes, you said to move to config.old and login again | 08:37 |
| MindSpark | smaudet: correct, that's 100% safe | 08:38 |
| smaudet | MindSpark: safe, but still overly destructive, IMHO | 08:38 |
| smaudet | for a new user at least | 08:38 |
| MindSpark | smaudet: not destructive at all | 08:38 |
| smaudet | ghost_: good, can you press 'Show Details' and tell us what it says? | 08:38 |
| smaudet | MindSpark: I only see it as non-destructive if you return .config.old to .config, in which case the problem is back. | 08:39 |
| smaudet | So I guess you know where the problem is or isn't at that point, but it doesn't solve the problem. | 08:40 |
| MindSpark | smaudet: exactly, and that is how I troubleshoot | 08:40 |
| MindSpark | smaudet: once you know where the problem is, you get into more details | 08:40 |
| MindSpark | that's how you pinpoint a problem | 08:40 |
| smaudet | MindSpark: great, but that's roundabout | 08:40 |
| smaudet | You need details to find a problem | 08:40 |
| MindSpark | is the problem in the interior, the motor or the chassis? | 08:40 |
| MindSpark | oh the motor? then which part of the motor | 08:41 |
| MindSpark | etc... | 08:41 |
| smaudet | That is one way to find a detail, but a not very efficient way | 08:41 |
| smaudet | imo | 08:41 |
| blazemore | Is it possible to pass a flag to ./configure to have that flag applied to all occurences of gcc? the flag in question is -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 | 08:41 |
| ghost_ | smaudet : please wait I'm restarting my system | 08:41 |
| MindSpark | smaudet: hmmm… interesting. So there is a definitve guide to fix problems? | 08:41 |
| smaudet | MindSpark: if your check engine light comes on, are you going to check the tires first? Of course not. | 08:42 |
| smaudet | You use the details the system gives you first | 08:42 |
| smaudet | Not ones you think might be the problem. | 08:42 |
| MindSpark | blazemore: depends on the configuration script I guess? | 08:42 |
| clue_h | i'd check the tires | 08:42 |
| clue_h | tyres | 08:42 |
| MindSpark | lol | 08:42 |
| smaudet | psh | 08:42 |
| MindSpark | blazemore: you could just edit the ./configure script and hardcode the option inside | 08:43 |
| smaudet | MindSpark: and yes, actually, there is, its called Occam's Razor, and its the method I used to say config issues are the most likely | 08:43 |
| MindSpark | smaudet: I'll look that up, thanks, maybe I'll be able to prevent the next world war | 08:44 |
| smaudet | MindSpark: http://www.math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/General/occam.html | 08:44 |
| MindSpark | smaudet: reading on wikipedia, will read your link as soon as I am done, thanks! | 08:45 |
| MindSpark | hmm in fact, yours looks better | 08:45 |
| smaudet | In this case I'm saying the simpler method is just to hit 'Show Details' and see the problem report | 08:46 |
| timfrost | blazemore: many configure scripts pick up "CFLAGS' or similar environment variables and pass them to the make command. Try 'CFLAGS=-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2' | 08:46 |
| smaudet | Not run 100 tests to find where the config issue is :P | 08:46 |
| MindSpark | smaudet: I never said he shouldn't open the logs. I also never suggested 100 test ;) | 08:47 |
| MindSpark | test | 08:47 |
| MindSpark | tests | 08:47 |

| auronandace | ikonia: christos_ usb wifi is the ralink: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsVarious#USB | 09:46 |
| smaudet | christos_: did you have to install anything when you used it on windows? | 09:46 |
| christos_ | ikonia: i have done ifconfig and i have 3 parts 1.eth0 2. lo 3.wlan0 | 09:46 |
| nerdtron | karab44 which disk drive? the internal drive where ubuntu server is installed? no you don't have to format it before booting | 09:46 |
| smaudet | christos_: its working then | 09:46 |
| smaudet | unless you have another wifi card | 09:46 |
| nerdtron | it will be formated when you install Ubuntu anyway | 09:46 |
| smaudet | wlan0 is your adaptor | 09:46 |
| smaudet | eth0 is probably your ethernet link | 09:47 |
| karab44 | nerdtron: I have two disks one is SSD / and 2x WD 500GB RAID0 | 09:47 |
| karab44 | and I install on SSD, where is 1204LTS already | 09:47 |
| christos_ | smaudet: for windows i have to and i neeed it for here i think | 09:47 |
| karab44 | but I want to overwrite it. | 09:47 |
| smaudet | christos_: if its working, you should be able to see the wifi networks by opening the NetworkManager | 09:47 |
| karab44 | and no menu appears, only ubuntu logo with dots changing color | 09:48 |
| nerdtron | karab44 when you choose erase everything and install ubuntu, the hard drive will be formated again | 09:48 |
| smaudet | christos_: well then it could be the wrong driver was selected for it | 09:48 |
| karab44 | but no menu is shown, I have no choice | 09:48 |
| christos_ | smaudet: i cant find NetworkManager | 09:48 |
| smaudet | ikonia: what is NetworkManager called in gui land? | 09:49 |
| nerdtron | karab44 press the arrow keys up or down to see the text mode and post the last lines | 09:49 |
| smaudet | nm-applet is the package I believe | 09:49 |
| ikonia | gnome-network-manager | 09:49 |
| ikonia | it's part of the desktop | 09:49 |
| ikonia | smaudet: yes, thats the actual applet on screen | 09:49 |
| karab44 | nerdtron: I have only choice Run Live system/ Install ubuntu so I choose install ant then nothing happens. Just logo and dots... | 09:49 |
| smaudet | christos_: following ikonia's suggestion, I'd look for gnome-network-manager | 09:50 |
| smaudet | if you don't see the network icon in the upper right corner | 09:50 |
| ikonia | shouldn't need to look for anything, it's already installed on the desktop | 09:50 |
| karab44 | nerdtron: live system works fine. I boot from USB. | 09:50 |
| karab44 | nerdtron: Ill try to get some logs | 09:50 |
| nerdtron | karab44 when you are in live mode, click the install option in the desktop | 09:51 |
| karab44 | okay | 09:51 |
| christos_ | smaudet: in the software ceneter i have downloaded the manager but in my pc i cant find it | 09:51 |
| amigo | guys, how to tell exim4 to send mail with full name sender? FROM: Jhon Doe <jhon@doe.com> | 09:51 |
| smaudet | christos_: well, assuming you manage to find the manager (there should be some icons in your menu bar, upper right) | 09:52 |
| smaudet | it could be that the wrong driver is installed, in that case you will have to find the right one, install, then sudo modprobe -r baddriver | 09:52 |
| smaudet | sudo modprobe gooddriver | 09:52 |
| smaudet | may need to restart NetworkManger e.g. sudo service network-manager restart | 09:53 |
| christos_ | smaudet: from where i can do wifi check | 09:53 |
| smaudet | http://s2.hubimg.com/u/2986461_f496.jpg | 09:53 |
| smaudet | If you can see in the upper right there is a small wifi icon | 09:54 |
| smaudet | next to the volume | 09:54 |
| smaudet | also check auronadace's link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsVarious#USB | 09:55 |
| smaudet | see if your card is in there or not, if it is install that driver | 09:55 |
| smaudet | And if that doesn't work you can try using fw-cutter | 09:56 |
| nl287 | strange | 09:56 |
| nl287 | Reading package lists... Error! | 09:57 |
| nl287 | Segmentation fault | 09:57 |
| smaudet | Although that doesn't always work well, and I'm not ready to sit here debugging it the rest of the night | 09:57 |
| smaudet | christos_: good luck | 09:57 |
| karab44 | nerdtron: I am processing installation, I will let you know is it succeed | 09:59 |
| karab44 | nerdtron: and yes, through USB live mode | 10:00 |
| karab44 | probably I know, what could be the problem. My bios beta makes USB stuff not always work. After boot/reboot they get big lag. | 10:01 |
| karab44 | this is how it finish when you experiment with uefi | 10:01 |
| vice_ | Hi! How can i do link open source in skype permanent? It always asks me, and theres no checkbox or smth | 10:01 |
| smaudet | !offtopic | vice_ | 10:02 |
| ubottu | vice_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 10:02 |
| nerdtron | karab44 maybe the "hang" state you get in the logo and the dots, you'll just have to wait a few minutes | 10:04 |
| nerdtron | sometimes it is very slow | 10:04 |
| smaudet | karab44: custom bios wat? I'd get rid of that beta bios if I were you. | 10:05 |
| nerdtron | karab44 I always turn off uefi,,,,,it doesn't bring anything except troubles :) | 10:05 |
| karab44 | nerdtron: I did wait quite long and patient and I get "Unable to find a medium containing a live file system" message | 10:06 |
| karab44 | but now it just started to work conditionless. First time with liveUSB, now installator shown on booting | 10:07 |
| karab44 | smaudet: unfortunately, producer released beta - first uefi bios for my mobo. | 10:08 |
| nerdtron | you sure you "burned" the usb correctly? or rather is your ISO good? better try it other computers just to be sure | 10:08 |
| nerdtron | karab44 oh it started the installation?? let's wait for the result | 10:08 |
| karab44 | I set time zones and other stuff, it didn't showup before. | 10:09 |
| karab44 | So it should be fine now | 10:09 |
| qin | Problem with apt, output of apt-get instal -f and lsb_release -a; apparently there is some problem with libjack package. http://paste.ubuntu.com/6039694/ | 10:10 |
| karab44 | during the installation - is computer name a place where I set a full qualified domain name? | 10:11 |
| karab44 | It is where I set name and username and passwords | 10:11 |
| christos_ | anyone who know about bluetooth? | 10:12 |
| aeon-ltd | christos_: just ask the actual question anyway | 10:12 |
| Shootingiron | Hello, is there a free irc chat client with spell check available for ubuntu? | 10:13 |
| christos_ | can i send a file via bluetooth with out the other device accept my request? | 10:13 |
| cfhowlett | christos_, pretty sure that the receiver has to verify permission | 10:13 |
| Shootingiron | christos: sounds suspicious. =) | 10:13 |
| nerdtron | karab44 yes computer name is the hostname only and not the FQDN, you can always change it after install | 10:15 |
| aeon-ltd | christos_: there are some devices i've used that can skip the verification for 'known' devices. why would you need this? if you own the device usb would be much faster and reliable | 10:16 |
| christos_ | ok | 10:16 |
| karab44 | nerdtron: you mean in these hosts and hostname files? | 10:16 |
| karab44 | it shouldnt be a big problem | 10:16 |
| nerdtron | Shootingiron XChat spell checks while you are typing :) | 10:16 |
| karab44 | Ok installation completed | 10:17 |
| nerdtron | karab44 yes, hosts and hostsname, don't forget to run sudo hostname restart and logout login to see changes | 10:17 |
| karab44 | it boots in 3 seconds :) | 10:17 |
| karab44 | 2,5 maybe | 10:17 |
| karab44 | very fast | 10:17 |
| christos_ | for ex. i want to send a message for my bday .. and with request it will take more time so with out answer for myy request i will send my invitation .. can i? | 10:17 |
| Shootingiron | nerdtron: Thanks .. are some of these clients only available in certain desktop environments? | 10:17 |
| peppo | hi! how do I show my network mounts (NFS) in the left launcher panel? both of my currently mounted nfs shares were showing before, but now they're gone. | 10:17 |
| aeon-ltd | christos_: use bluetooth to send a message? seriously? | 10:18 |
| nerdtron | Shootingiron i'm using Xchat in Ubuntu and Xubuntu and KDE...all is well | 10:18 |
| christos_ | its free ! | 10:18 |
| nerdtron | christos_ but it is very short range | 10:18 |
| aeon-ltd | christos_: also limited to about 30 meters | 10:18 |
| christos_ | its ok but can i? | 10:19 |
| Shootingiron | Nerdtron: very nice, thanks for your time. =) | 10:19 |
| karab44 | okay, it works flowless | 10:19 |
| aeon-ltd | christos_: no the reciever needs to be set to auto accept | 10:19 |
| christos_ | hmmm | 10:19 |
| aeon-ltd | christos_: you cannot forcibly push unlike radio broadcasting | 10:19 |
| nerdtron | peppo while you view the shared folder, create a book mark for it..what file manager are you using? | 10:19 |
| peppo | nerdtron, nautilus I guess. it wasn't a bookmark before and it still showed a network mount folder icon in the launcher panel | 10:20 |
| peppo | (the left thingy) | 10:20 |
| nerdtron | karab44 congrats..glad to hear that | 10:20 |
| christos_ | hmm i heard that a friend did this ... | 10:20 |
| karab44 | okay, let's try something completely different. Is there a fast and nice way to make snapshots of this system to let's say another drive? | 10:20 |
| karab44 | nerdtron: thank you. It's up to you :) | 10:21 |
| nerdtron | karab44 i have no idea.. it think similar to Mac time machine is "back in time" | 10:21 |
| karab44 | I mean installation works thanks to you :) | 10:21 |
| aeon-ltd | christos_: you know how this looks right? | 10:22 |
| nerdtron | karab44 you're welcome.... | 10:22 |
| christos_ | wich ? | 10:22 |
| peppo | nerdtron, a bookmark how? there's no such context menu item | 10:22 |
| karab44 | ok but I thing about like system image like snapshot in virtualbox. | 10:22 |
| aeon-ltd | christos_: what it sounds like you want to do | 10:22 |
| karab44 | when something go terribly wrong I just summon good system. | 10:22 |
| nerdtron | peppo hmmm i think you should go up one folder up the directory, then drag the folder you want to the left pane | 10:23 |
| peppo | nerdtron, nope, it doesn't add it, it just shows that it can open the folder with nautilus | 10:23 |
| nerdtron | karab44 i don't think that exists yet in live systems...I believed the answer to that is Cclone your hard drive... | 10:23 |
| edheldil | Hi all, has anybody experienced a problem with timed waking up sleeping syscalls on precise? E.g. in iostat, there's { alarm(1); ... ; pause(); }, but the SIGALARM frequently comes after several (e.g. 5) seconds. Consequently, iostat sometimes waits much longer than expected between outputs. Similar for ping, that does { setsockopt(fd, SO_RECVTIMEO, 1); recvmsg(fd); } - the EAGAIN comes not after 1sec, but sometimes after sever | 10:23 |
| edheldil | al seconds | 10:23 |
| nerdtron | peppo sorry..need to go .... | 10:24 |
| christos_ | aeon-ltd: i want to send invitation for my b-day to my friends via bluetooth but i dont want to answer me to my request for the msg bcs it will take more time.. | 10:24 |
| karab44 | nerdtron: it is a good point. | 10:24 |
| aeon-ltd | christos_: that sounds like a lie | 10:24 |
| karab44 | I heard about clonezzila but I was just wondering is something build into ubuntu and I could for example make automated launch periodicly | 10:24 |
| peppo | anyone know how to force the unity launcher to start showing network mounts again? | 10:25 |
| christos_ | aeon-ltd: bluetooth msg are free if i start to call to all my friends i will waste my money | 10:25 |
| edheldil | I suspect that could be caused by dynamic ticks and AMD cpu, but so far disabling dynticks did not improve the scheduling | 10:25 |
| aeon-ltd | christos_: at <30 meters you could just ask them, or use paper | 10:25 |
| christos_ | aeon-ltd: its more action with mob ... where is the lie what can i send.. its not pc just a mob | 10:26 |
| aeon-ltd | christos_: if your friend did this then ask them, if you have 2 devices keep trying to do this, afaik it isn't possible without accepting a prior message then setting it to auto-accept future messages | 10:27 |
| christos_ | aeon-ltd: okk thanks its this that i want to hear :) | 10:28 |

| HypnotiX | in the startup i have dropbox, chrome, and a bit of terminal code i run to remap a key for my mouse | 10:57 |

| jonascj | Hi all. Could somebody tell me having a LVM swap partition or having a swap file on a lvm partition is as good as a normal partition? I don't know the internal mechanics of LVM but having those very flexible volumes could suggest that the logical volumes (i.e. my swap partition) would not be contiguous on disk. | 10:57 |
| ikonia | jonascj: no different | 10:57 |
| HypnotiX | ok it was dropbox | 10:58 |
| HypnotiX | its instant without it | 10:58 |
| jonascj | ikonia: empirical fact or does LVM ensure contiguous partitions? | 10:58 |

| wanttolovedjango | Where is the place of sqlite file on ubuntu ? | 10:59 |

| blazemore | alt^255: Take a look at what it does | 11:00 |
| wanttolovedjango | can anyone help | 11:00 |
| alt^255 | blazemore: I see. I guess I'm not the first to ask such questions ;) | 11:02 |
| jonascj | uh, one last: swap file vs. swap partition. Any good points? They perform the same as far as I can read, but any manageability arguments? | 11:03 |
| blazemore | alt^255: It's a nuclear approach (those commands) - but it does sort out nearly all packaging problems | 11:03 |
| blazemore | jonascj: Not much to consider in terms of performance - up to you whether you find it easier to manage | 11:03 |
| alt^255 | blazemore: I understand. Still I wonder what happened in the past hour..? Except the NSA doing runtime data injection to read all my mail.. oh, no, wait.. | 11:03 |
| alt^255 | thanks. | 11:03 |
| jonascj | blazemore: I was just looking for arguments like: "you can live resize your swap file but not a regular partition" | 11:05 |
| jonascj | blazemore: but perhaps there are none. I'll give it a good chance that the only manageability differences are the tools you use, resize2fs vs dd and so on. | 11:07 |

| jackson_ | hello! | 11:31 |
| support_ | I need help in solving some right access problem. I formatted my external hdd (2 Tb) in ext4, now I can't copy anything there and so on without having sudo rights. How can I change that? | 11:37 |
| CatKiller | support_: sudo chown -R username:username /mnt/MyHardDrive | 11:40 |
| CatKiller | where "username" is your own | 11:40 |
| support_ | and if I'll reconnect it to other PC? | 11:40 |
| CatKiller | support_: Other Linux running machine? | 11:41 |
| support_ | yes | 11:41 |
| support_ | with other user as default | 11:41 |
| CatKiller | support_: Well then the userid might not match and you may not access it ok | 11:41 |
| CatKiller | support_: The problem sharing filesystems | 11:41 |
| CatKiller | support_: A solution is to simply create a common group on both nodes | 11:41 |
| CatKiller | a group that has the same group id | 11:41 |
| CatKiller | and add both users to that group | 11:42 |
| CatKiller | and change the mode to username:groupname | 11:42 |
| CatKiller | and make sure you also "chmod -R g+w /mnt/myHardDrive" | 11:42 |
| CatKiller | that will ensure that both users have access to it | 11:42 |
| support_ | I think I tried chown... but I'll try again | 11:43 |
| support_ | I also set 666 right recursively is it correct? | 11:43 |
| karab44 | ubuntu does not mount my raid drive. It says there is no partition table. What partition table do I have to create as I want to format it later use for NTFS partition? | 11:43 |
| CatKiller | support_: It's overkill | 11:44 |
| karab44 | there are some options like msdos | 11:44 |
| support_ | ? | 11:44 |
| CatKiller | support_: This will solve your problem and is the right way to do | 11:44 |

| Super8 | Hi there, I have downloaded ubuntu 12.10 but how can I install it directly from my windows? I have tried to boot from cd, but disk partition is taking more than an hour and it doesnt work. | 12:24 |
| MonkeyDust | Super8 can you load the live cd? | 12:25 |
| Super8 | Yes I can load it, and i can use it as a trial, but when it comes to installing it along side windows, it takes forever to resize the partition. | 12:26 |
| cfhowlett | Super8, what version of windows? | 12:26 |
| peho | jrib: thanks I fix it, group of repo dir was root, adn not git user group | 12:26 |
| Super8 | I tried to use bootable usb, but my bios is not recognizing it. | 12:26 |
| Super8 | cfhowlett I have windows7 32bit. | 12:26 |
| jrib | peho: cool | 12:26 |
| peho | how can I attach multiple users to that repo | 12:26 |
| cfhowlett | Super8, what's your ram situation? | 12:26 |
| MonkeyDust | Super8 forget windows, you don't need it to run ubuntu | 12:27 |
| jrib | peho: personally, I just have a "git" user and then everyone uses that user (you can add multiple ssh keys to it's authorized_keys file. See git-scm book for more complicated setups | 12:27 |
| Super8 | cfhowlett 6GB of ram, its running just fine. | 12:27 |
| jrib | peho: when people make commits, they still sign with their own name, they just use the "git" user on the system to push | 12:27 |
| cfhowlett | Super8, ? and your HDD? | 12:28 |
| Super8 | C: 547GB free of 576 - F: 20GB free of 20GB (I made it for ubuntu) | 12:29 |
| cfhowlett | Super8, I suggest you go into windows and run the file cleaner then defrag. THEN run ubuntu. defrag should speed up repartitioning | 12:30 |
| Super8 | I tried to install it on F which is sda3, but while installing it says "Starting up the partitioner" and it freezes. | 12:30 |
| Super8 | cfhowlett How to do that? | 12:30 |
| cfhowlett | Super8, THERE it is. How many partitions have you GOT on that thing? | 12:30 |
| peho | jrib: ok, and how can I track changes from who is? | 12:30 |
| ServerTech | Is there a way to disable ubuntu asking for authentication everytime, like when you install a package? | 12:30 |
| Super8 | Only 2 partitions. C and F. | 12:31 |
| === mosh_ is now known as mosh | ||
| cfhowlett | Super8, and "F" was created in windows, right? | 12:31 |
| peho | jrid: please excuse me, but I migrate from svn | 12:31 |
| Super8 | cfhowlett Yes. | 12:31 |
| Super8 | I tried to create it from live cd. but it took alot of time and didnt succeed | 12:31 |
| cfhowlett | Super8, ? "didn't succeed"? | 12:32 |
| MonkeyDust | Super8 ubuntu does not use C, D, E, F | 12:32 |
| MonkeyDust | Super8 in ubuntu it's like /dev/sda1, sda2 etc | 12:32 |

| home555 | ??? | 12:40 |
| cfhowlett | Super8, you don't need to remove windows. I'd suggest you delete the partitions you created with windows and then partition the freed space with ubuntu | 12:40 |
| g105b | I really have the urge to LMGTFY home555 | 12:41 |

| home555 | (( | 12:43 |
| home555 | 13.4??? | 12:43 |
| Super8 | Yes I verfied it cfhowlett | 12:43 |
| cfhowlett | Super8, deleting OS is a drastic step and should be avoided. reboot and run the check disk for integrity function. | 12:43 |
| cfhowlett | home555, ubuntu 11.10 is dead and end of life. Use a supported version. | 12:43 |
| Super8 | I think bootable usb might be the solution but my bios is not recognizing any bootable usb | 12:44 |
| home555 | mmm | 12:44 |
| home555 | bad | 12:44 |
| chris5000 | Super8: you have to set it to boot from usb in the boot order menu | 12:44 |
| cfhowlett | Super8, corrupted cd burns happen too. thus you run the check to verify things | 12:44 |
| MonkeyDust | Super8 during boot, press F12 or so, to get the boot order menu, select flash/usb | 12:45 |
| Super8 | cfhowlett How come its corrupted and when i decided to delete win7 and install ubuntu it worked just fine? | 12:46 |
| peho | jrib: thanks I understand perpose, git config add user data | 12:46 |
| Super8 | MonkeyDust what I saw there is the HDD, DVD drive and LAN | 12:46 |
| cfhowlett | Super8, you JUST told us it wouldn't partition. that's not "worked just fine". | 12:46 |
| Super8 | cfhowlett When i installed it, I installed it on ALL THE HDD. | 12:47 |
| Super8 | But when it gets to installing ubuntu + win7, it doesnt work. | 12:47 |
| cfhowlett | Super8, color me confused. | 12:47 |
| cfhowlett | Super8, have you installed ubuntu to your HDD? | 12:47 |
| Super8 | Ubuntu by it self works just fine, i have also tried it on another computer. | 12:47 |
| cfhowlett | Super8, ???? so ... what is it you're having trouble with? | 12:48 |
| Super8 | Argh.. | 12:48 |
| Super8 | When i get to install Ubuntu on an empty HDD (No windows), it works FINE. | 12:48 |
| Super8 | But since windows is currently installed on my HDD, i intend to install ubuntu along side and its not working. | 12:48 |
| ActionPa1snip | Super8: Which version of Windows? | 12:49 |
| Super8 | Windows 7 32 bit. | 12:49 |
| ActionPa1snip | Super8: resize your NTFS using Windows, then install to the unpartitioned space | 12:50 |
| cfhowlett | Super8, and kill those extra windows created partitions. | 12:50 |
| Super8 | ActionPa1snip i tried that already, not working | 12:50 |
| Super8 | Wait let me try it again then. | 12:50 |
| ActionPa1snip | Super8: how do you mean 'not working', saying 'not working' tells us near zero | 12:50 |

| Super8 | Okay, ill try that and capture the screen, be back in a bit | 12:51 |

| Super8 | how | 12:51 |
| cfhowlett | Super8, run a terminal in windows. type in chkdsk. it'll likely state "can't do it now, will do so on reboot." | 12:52 |
| Super8 | Access Denied as you do not have sufficient privileges. | 12:53 |

| kenshiro | Hi, I would like to know if it's safe to upgrade Ubuntu 12.04 to 13.04 hardware enablement stack. Wiki page is not upgraded, 13.04 LTS appears as "Proposed": https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 14:40 |
| ActionPa1snip | kenshiro: you'll need to upgrade to 12.10 first | 14:41 |
| ActionPa1snip | kenshiro: 13.04 is only supported til January 2014 so you will need to upgrade to 13.10 when it comes shortly after release | 14:41 |
| kenshiro | actionpa1snip But I want to upgrade only the hardware enablemenet stack (kernel, xwindows), not upgrade distro | 14:41 |
| kenshiro | actionpa1snip I want to upgrade to 12.04.3 | 14:42 |
| feeshon | Hello, how can I hash my password for .smbcredentials file? | 14:42 |
| ActionPa1snip | kenshiro: do you have 12.04 installed now? | 14:42 |
| kenshiro | actionpa1snip, yes the original stack | 14:42 |
| ActionPa1snip | kenshiro: then run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 14:43 |
| ActionPa1snip | kenshiro: you will then have 12.04.3 | 14:43 |
| kenshiro | actionpa1snip, ok I will try, thank you ! :-) | 14:43 |
| ActionPa1snip | kenshiro: the minor releases just make installing nicer | 14:43 |
| ActionPa1snip | kenshiro: as it is supported 5 years, the packages get old | 14:44 |
| ActionPa1snip | kenshiro: so they release intermediate releases with newer packages in the default, rather than install then having to update the entire OS | 14:44 |
| kenshiro | actionpa1snip I understand, thank you ! :-) | 14:45 |

| xatr0z | starbuck: does the samba has an username? | 15:45 |
| starbuck | xatr0z: waht do you mean? | 15:45 |
| xatr0z | i had an similar issue, and it had to do with vlc and gvfs | 15:45 |
| xatr0z | vlc didnt had the correct username/password somehow | 15:45 |
| starbuck | ok, what do i have to check / do? | 15:46 |
| beliveyourdream | hello | 15:46 |
| xatr0z | not exactly sure why but it DID seem to work with passwordless servers | 15:46 |
| beliveyourdream | i have a problem with one of my servers | 15:46 |
| beliveyourdream | i've updated from 11.04 to 12.04 and now on every form submit the browser just hangs | 15:46 |
| beliveyourdream | i've checked logs on apache/php/mysql and my application logs but nothing to explaing the hang | 15:47 |
| xatr0z | starbuck: if you are currently just doubleclicking the file: try opening the smb:// link in vlc (with username password) | 15:47 |
| Sach | Using 12.04. Was listening through my headphones, now suddenly I get no sound at all through the headset OR the laptop speakers. Help please? | 15:48 |
| beliveyourdream | any idea what could break from this dist upgrade ? | 15:48 |
| codephobic | ActionPa1snip, I'm installing the full desktop of XFCE 4.10. | 15:48 |
| ActionPa1snip | codephobic: yes, it doesnt use compositing, we can see if the temp is lower or same | 15:50 |
| codephobic | I'm getting high temps on the cpu while downloading. | 15:51 |
| chris5000 | Sach: restart your computer? check the sound settings? re-start your browser or application? | 15:51 |
| codephobic | It's really strange, I don't have this issue with windows 7, nor did I experience it with ubuntu 12.10 | 15:51 |
| Sach | chriss5000: just restarted the laptop, same result | 15:51 |
| xatr0z | starbuck: if that DOES work you could try googling because their should be a better solution... a workaround however would be to just mount the share instead of using gvfs | 15:51 |
| codephobic | ActionPa1snip, I forgot something else... I get lots of "system problem" errors | 15:52 |
| codephobic | sometimes for apport, sometimes for other services/daemons ... | 15:53 |

| xatr0z | starbuck: could you try starting it in the terminal with vlc -vvvv to see if it outputs anything useful before crashing ? | 15:54 |

| jonascj | when connecting to my newly installed ubuntu server 12.04 with vncviewer (tried it from both windows and ubuntu) I have a wrong keymap. I use a danish keyboard and my : is not where it should be for example. What could be wrong? | 16:01 |
| Sach | chris5000: http://pastebin.com/EzgRsdSK | 16:02 |
| RoyK | jonascj: which vncviewer is this? | 16:03 |
| chris5000 | Sach: there's your problem | 16:03 |
| chris5000 | Sach: sec | 16:03 |
| Inquisitive | so any help on my audio problem? it stops but the headphones work and yeah it was after my last batch of updates I installed now that I think about it | 16:03 |
| chris5000 | Sach: kill the service and restart it | 16:04 |
| Sach | chris5000: the service? | 16:04 |
| chris5000 | Sach: the pulseaudio daemon | 16:04 |
| Sach | chris5000: is there a command for that? | 16:04 |
| chris5000 | Sach: pulseaudio --kill and then pulseaudio --start | 16:04 |
| chris5000 | Sach: might need sudo | 16:04 |
| jonascj | RoyK: on ubuntu it's RealVNC (vncplayer) and on Windows it's the same, Real VNCPlayer | 16:04 |
| codephobic | hi | 16:05 |
| codephobic | just logged in to XFCE4 | 16:05 |
| jonascj | RoyK: Do you think it is an issue witht he vnc client or is it an config issue on the ubuntu server? | 16:05 |
| codephobic | had a system crash - apport | 16:05 |
| ilovexbmc | please can someone help me out here, i just installed latest vsn of WUBI but my display is unusable - it looks like this: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B98pNjnjhJj0bk1TX25najlXREE/edit?usp=sharing i know that I have read a fix previously but cant find it anywhere now. please help! | 16:05 |
| RoyK | jonascj: not sure | 16:05 |
| Sach | chrisr5000: this is strange: http://pastebin.com/QyiYQ4Yz | 16:06 |
| holstein | ilovexbmc: i would look for another graphics driver, if one is available for your hardware.. you can also try the normal installation cd live | 16:06 |
| Sach | chris5000: this is strange: http://pastebin.com/QyiYQ4Yz | 16:06 |
| cuddylier | Using FTP on SSH, how would I get a file from a remote FTP and put it in a directory I want to put it in on the local machine? When i do 'get [filename] it tries to download it to the same directory on my local machine. | 16:06 |
| ilovexbmc | holstein - Any ubuntu or ubuntu variant is the same :( and seeing as i cant even get in to it how would i change driver? | 16:07 |
| RoyK | Sach: perhaps sudo -i first? | 16:07 |
| Sach | RoyK: you mean as a command in and of itself? | 16:07 |
| holstein | ilovexbmc: you would "get into it" via tty.. or nomodeset before installation or now | 16:07 |
| gordonjcp | cuddylier: "lcd" | 16:07 |
| holstein | !nomodeset | ilovexbmc this is what i would try from a live CD | 16:07 |
| ubottu | ilovexbmc this is what i would try from a live CD: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 16:07 |
| gordonjcp | cuddylier: but, avoid using ftp | 16:08 |
| cuddylier | I have to as it's a FTP server | 16:08 |
| holstein | !tty | ilovexbmc this is where i would go from the current installation to "fix" it | 16:08 |
| ubottu | ilovexbmc this is where i would go from the current installation to "fix" it: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution | 16:08 |
| RoyK | Sach: sudo -i first and then kill/start | 16:08 |
| gordonjcp | cuddylier: sftp is fine, and if you've got sftp chances are you've got scp too ;-) | 16:08 |
| cuddylier | gordonjcp I'm transferring from a remote host I have no control over | 16:08 |
| gordonjcp | cuddylier: okay, then also assume it's been broken into and use a unique password for it that you use nowhere else | 16:08 |
| cuddylier | gordonjcp So do I type lcd [filename]? | 16:09 |
| codephobic | is anybody else experiencing frequent system crash errors with ubuntu 13.04? I keep getting apport-gtk related errors | 16:09 |
| RoyK | gordonjcp: I don't think I've ever seen scp not working if sftp works (except some strange cases with rssh) | 16:09 |
| Sach | RoyK: http://pastebin.com/8AhNFtiS | 16:09 |
| RoyK | Sach: perhaps it's running as your UID | 16:09 |
| ilovexbmc | thanks guys, im a bit of a linux noob so some of your help kind of goes right over my head but will see what i can manage | 16:09 |
| RoyK | if so, don't use sudo | 16:09 |
| cuddylier | When I try to use 'get [foldername]' it says Cannot download non-regular file: /home/minecraft/multicraft/scripts/ | 16:10 |
| mustmodify | is there some way to combine tail and ... grep maybe? so that I can get a wc -l between lines matching "^Started GET" ... so that I can basically see how many lines of logfile were generated for every web request in my development log? | 16:10 |
| feeshon | Does anyone know how to prune rsnapshots? | 16:10 |
| feeshon | Is there a built in function for this? | 16:10 |
| mustmodify | I would want it to work for tail -f ... | 16:11 |
| codephobic | ActionPa1snip, so far the system seems to be no worse than under unity. temps climbed down to 53 deg C, but then that was true in unity too, just that they occasionally ramp up to 67-70 deg C. | 16:11 |
| Sach | RoyK: still no luck :( | 16:11 |
| chris5000 | Sach: try just typing alsamixer in the command line | 16:12 |
| cuddylier | Is it not possible to copy recursively then using the basic FTP client? Can I use scp if I have just a remote FTP server and not SFTP? | 16:12 |
| RoyK | chris5000: you don'd need an ftp server for neither scp, sftp or rsync | 16:13 |
| Sach | chris5000: I did already, I see that speaker is MM. | 16:13 |
| RoyK | all of them run over ssh (that is, rsync can run over other protocols, but uses ssh by default) | 16:13 |
| chris5000 | RoyK: you tabbed the wrong guy | 16:14 |
| RoyK | oops | 16:14 |
| RoyK | cuddylier: that one was for you - my advice is to use rsync | 16:14 |
| cuddylier | RoyK Ah okay, is it similar then to the FTP commands? | 16:14 |
| RoyK | cuddylier: no, man rsync | 16:15 |
| cuddylier | What does 'man rsync' do? | 16:15 |
| chris5000 | Sach: try force killing it, if you can't then purge it and reinstall the issue is clearly with that daemon | 16:15 |
| Sach | chris5000: try force killing what exactly? | 16:16 |
| codephobic | \quit | 16:16 |
| chris5000 | Sach: pulseaudio | 16:17 |
| ActionPa1snip | Sach: killall pulseaudio | 16:18 |
| RoyK | Sach: or killall -9 pulseaudio if it's really stuck | 16:18 |
| Sach | chris5000, ActioPa1snip: Okay, I've killed it. what next? | 16:19 |
| chris5000 | Sach: restart it | 16:19 |
| ActionPa1snip | Sach: it will come back up on it's own. Ubuntu is configured to restart pulseaudio if it dies | 16:20 |
| ActionPa1snip | chris5000: ^ | 16:20 |
| chris5000 | ActionPa1snip: ah | 16:20 |
| tharkun | Godd $(date +%P) what would be the weapon of choice for an office irc server? Small number of users. | 16:20 |

| ironhalik | Is there a way to make certain display the default one for full screen opengl apps? | 16:21 |
| cuddylier | Where does rsync ask for a password? | 16:22 |
| karab44 | is there a good program to cleanup system? | 16:22 |
| karab44 | like temporary files, old/unused packages and crap? | 16:22 |
| chris5000 | Sach: check if it's running currently with pulseaudio -D | 16:22 |
| Johnny_Linux | fslint | 16:22 |
| holstein | karab44: define "cleanup".. and, "good" is a matter of opinion.. if you mean, delete files, you can use a filemanager.. sudo apt-get auto-remove .etc | 16:22 |
| tmmunq | the old versions of libs that persist after an upgrade? | 16:23 |
| Sach | chriss5000: http://pastebin.com/iz9ijUUp | 16:23 |
| holstein | tharkun: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/irc-server.html is what i referred to years back.. the only issue i has was with folks connecting from the same "location" | 16:23 |
| holstein | Sach: for me, i'll restart, and try older kernels.. i'll try as another user.. i'll try with a live CD to see that the hardware is still "good".. i'll try looking at "aplay -l" to see that the hardware is present | 16:25 |
| cuddylier | Why does 'rsync -v -e ssh admin.214@b***.**.***.* /server.properties /' not work? | 16:27 |
| cuddylier | rsync: link_stat "/server.properties" failed: No such file or directory (2) | 16:27 |
| cuddylier | But that file exists on that FTP.. | 16:27 |
| cuddylier | In the root directory | 16:27 |
| suhas | where is the background image of the grub present in the file system??? | 16:29 |
| RoyK | cuddylier: where is server.properties? | 16:29 |
| RoyK | cuddylier: oh, rsync and sftp and scp is, by default, rooted on the root dir, not the ftp server's root | 16:29 |
| cuddylier | RoyK In the main accessible directory of the remote FTP therefore the directory just should be /server.properties | 16:30 |
| cuddylier | I see.. | 16:30 |
| cuddylier | So how do I specify that then? | 16:30 |
| RoyK | cuddylier: just use the full path | 16:30 |
| cuddylier | I see, I'll try that | 16:30 |
| RoyK | cuddylier: as in /path/to/ftp/root/filename | 16:30 |
| codephobic | ActionPa1snip, I don't think I'm seeing any difference in temp/cpu usage with virtualbox 4.2.16 between unity and xfce... | 16:33 |
| Sach | chris5000: any suggestions? | 16:34 |
| karab44 | holstein: this is not an answer | 16:34 |
| chris5000 | Sach: hmm | 16:34 |
| chris5000 | Sach: sec i'm at work lol | 16:34 |
| Sach | chris5000: oh, ok :-p | 16:34 |
| cuddylier | RoyK Still didn't work, rsync -v -e ssh admin.214@***.**.***.* /home/minecraft/multicraft/servers/server214/server.properties / | 16:36 |
| cuddylier | That directory exists on the remote machine | 16:36 |
| Sach | holstein: yes, I think i'll try that at some point. | 16:36 |
| karab44 | I am asking about Cleanup program, that cleans temporary files, sets variables to defaults, removes unused libraries, removes unused files, folders, dead links, registeries and so on. | 16:36 |
| RoyK | cuddylier: can you access that exact dir on the server if you ssh into it as admin.214? | 16:36 |
| BluesKaj | Sach, I think holstein has some good suggestions , did you see his post above ? | 16:37 |
| cuddylier | RoyK I can FTP into it, not SSH | 16:37 |
| cuddylier | RoyK This is a remote FTP server I'm trying to connect to | 16:37 |
| RoyK | cuddylier: if you sftp in, what is your root dir? the home dir? | 16:37 |
| cuddylier | I have no other access apart from this FTP account | 16:37 |
| cuddylier | My root directory is /root | 16:37 |
| cuddylier | Well, the remote FTP's server is /root | 16:37 |
| RoyK | cuddylier: can you make sftp work non-recursively? | 16:38 |
| RoyK | cuddylier: rsync will have the same root as that one | 16:38 |
| karab44 | holstein: by saying good program I mean a program that people use and are satisfied. | 16:38 |
| cuddylier | RoyK I do not have access to SFTP on that other box | 16:38 |
| cuddylier | I only have FTP and nothing else | 16:38 |
| Sach | BluesKaj: yes, I'll try that. | 16:38 |
| RoyK | karab44: registeries? | 16:39 |
| BluesKaj | Sach, good :) | 16:39 |
| RoyK | cuddylier: does sftp work at all? | 16:39 |
| cuddylier | The normal FTP client works fine, only if it supported recursively copying files I'd be fine.. | 16:39 |
| cuddylier | On that other box it works yes | 16:39 |
| cuddylier | But isn't accessible to me | 16:39 |
| RoyK | cuddylier: ncftpget -R ... | 16:39 |
| cuddylier | :O | 16:39 |
| cuddylier | I found on google the FTP didn't support that but maybe not.. | 16:39 |
| karab44 | RoyK: yes, if any | 16:39 |
| cuddylier | RoyK Do I use ncftpget [hostname] then? | 16:39 |
| Sach | chris5000: I'm going to log off for a bit to try holstein's suggestions. Will let you know when I'm back. | 16:39 |
| cuddylier | Oh wait no | 16:40 |
| chris5000 | Sach: ok. try rm -r ~/.pulse*; pulseaudio -k when you get a chance | 16:40 |
| chris5000 | Sach: this will delete your pulseaudio user settings | 16:40 |
| chris5000 | maybe regenerating new ones will fix this | 16:40 |
| RoyK | karab44: what do you mean by 'registeries'? | 16:41 |
| Sach | chris5000: http://pastebin.com/Dj56Fpy3 | 16:41 |
| RoyK | Sach: then it's not running | 16:41 |
| Sach | RoyK: so how do I get it to run? | 16:42 |
| cuddylier | RoyK When I try ncftp 192.34.110.8 it just sits connecting when I can connect to the FTP on my PC now fine? | 16:42 |
| RoyK | Sach: not sure, not very good with desktop things | 16:42 |
| chris5000 | RoyK: it is running it's just unresponsive | 16:42 |
| RoyK | cuddylier: ncftp -u username ipaddress | 16:43 |
| chris5000 | Sach: do the same thing just append the killall command you did before to forcefully kill it | 16:43 |
| Sach | chris5000: "sudo pulseaudio --kill" ? | 16:44 |
| SubCool | Could somoen help me with this.. - its made 100+ notes for my fingerprint scanner, and then when i use software to use it.. it doesnt see it | 16:44 |
| SubCool | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6040939 | 16:44 |
| chris5000 | Sach: that might not work.. try killall pulseaudio | 16:44 |
| Sach | chris5000: done. but how do I know it is killed? | 16:45 |
| chris5000 | Sach: check for the process id | 16:45 |
| chris5000 | Sach: ps aux | 16:45 |
| chris5000 | ps aux | grep pulseaudio might work | 16:46 |
| RoyK | Sach: ps axf| grep procame | 16:46 |
| RoyK | procname, even | 16:46 |
| RoyK | Sach: or pgrep procname | 16:46 |
| RoyK | or ... | 16:46 |
| Sach | chris5000: using your command: http://pastebin.com/nwHJdRiR | 16:47 |
| marianne | is it possible to update the kernel without updating the version I'm on? | 16:48 |
| cuddylier | RoyK Seems to work perfectly :) Thanks for your help. | 16:49 |
| Sach | chris5000: going to try a live cd and see what happens. Back soon. | 16:50 |
| RoyK | cuddylier: you can create a bookmark in ncftp to make things easier | 16:50 |
| cuddylier | Oh, cool | 16:50 |
| RoyK | cuddylier: and save the password | 16:50 |
| RoyK | cuddylier: just type 'bookmark mybookmarkname' | 16:51 |
| cuddylier | Okay, thanks | 16:51 |

| Sach | BluesKaj: just did, but nothing seems to have happened. | 16:53 |

| === GingerGeek is now known as GingerGeek[Away] | ||
| RoyK | Sach: then add snd-hda-intel to /etc/modules | 16:56 |

| Sach | RoyK: how do I do that? Just type that command in the terminal? | 16:57 |
| Sach | BluesKaj: can you suggest what the problem might've been to begin with? My sound suddendly disappeared while I was listening to an mp3 earlier today. | 16:57 |

| RoyK | or emacs if you like that sort of thing | 16:58 |
| BluesKaj | Sach, add this line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, options snd-hda-intel index=0 , this makes the module your default | 16:58 |
| RoyK | BluesKaj: nice - didn't know that one | 16:58 |

| Lockal | YEAH | 16:59 |
| RoyK | looks like Lockal is trying to DoS Mac uses - isn't that a good reason to get him or her out of here? | 17:00 |
| chris5000 | can't he just do cat >> /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, and paste options snd-hda-intel index=0, enter and then ctrl-d | 17:00 |
| SubCool | anyone? - screwy dmesg | 17:00 |
| SubCool | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6040939 | 17:00 |
| Lockal | RoyK, what's common with mac and this channel? | 17:00 |
| BluesKaj | Sach, use alt +F2 gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf | 17:00 |
| RoyK | chris5000: or echo 'options snd-hda-intel index=0' >> /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf | 17:00 |
| chris5000 | Sach: do any of the things listed above by me or RoyK | 17:01 |
| RoyK | Lockal: well, users of all sorts hang in all sorts of channels - posting things to DoS people isn't very nice | 17:01 |
| Sach | RoyK: so I've opened alsa-base.conf (/etc/modprobe.d). onto which line do I paste snd-hda-intel ? | 17:02 |
| === companion is now known as Companion | ||
| BluesKaj | too many cooks guys , maybe those terminal commands work , but it's better in my view to to see the actual file and see what he's dealing with | 17:02 |

| chris5000 | and you should be good | 17:03 |
| BluesKaj | sach , at the bottom is fine | 17:03 |
| Sach | chris5000: all as one line? | 17:03 |
| BluesKaj | like I said chris5000 , too many cooks | 17:03 |
| BluesKaj | Sach, paste , options snd-hda-intel index=0 , at the bottom | 17:04 |
| Sach | BluesKaj: to confirm, "options snd-hda-intel index=0" ? | 17:05 |
| BluesKaj | sac yes without the quotes | 17:05 |
| BluesKaj | Sach,^ | 17:05 |
| RoyK | Sach: just run 'nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf' | 17:05 |
| Sach | BluesKaj: can you suggest what the cause of the problem might've originally been? | 17:05 |
| RoyK | Sach: better learn to use an editor to see what you're actually doing | 17:05 |
| BluesKaj | RoyK, enough already , just let him finish | 17:06 |
| RoyK | BluesKaj: I don't really agree - if he understands the content of those config files, he'll understand more about how linux is configured | 17:07 |
| sett | i tried everything from google, any help will be appreciated http://i.imgur.com/FhahZhH.jpg | 17:07 |
| BluesKaj | Sach, it's common after upgrades , the audio module doesn't get loaded , if you removed pulseaudio you might want to install it again so you get audio on youtube and other websites | 17:07 |
| Sach | BluesKaj, RoyK, Chris5000: you are all great. thank you for your help. :) | 17:08 |
| BluesKaj | RoyK, that why i told him to use gedit with the run command | 17:08 |

| BluesKaj | Rokixz, there's nothing wrong with your cli command suggestions , but editing the actual config file can be beneficial in terms of understanding | 17:10 |
| chris5000 | BluesKaj: RoyK: this is a petty argument just get over it | 17:11 |

| X-User | OerHeks, have u tried to download anything? it is saying then. | 18:00 |
| BluesKaj | yes looks fine , but it's not really necessary , unless it installed a ppa or other source in your sources.list then i would be careful , look in /etc/apt/sources.list.d , to make sure nothing was added there that you don't want | 18:00 |
| smaudet | LinuxStyle: #hardware? | 18:00 |
| LinuxStyle | smaudet: well it needs to be compatible with ubuntu | 18:00 |

| X-User | BluesKaj, that folder is empty | 18:01 |
| OerHeks | X-User, no it does not. | 18:02 |
| RoyK | X-User: check /etc/apt/sources.list to see if there's something non-ubuntu there | 18:02 |
| smaudet | LinuxStyle: the dual screen thing is a hardware thing though I think, you'd have to ask the specifics pertaining to multiple cards in #hardware | 18:02 |
| RoyK | X-User: and pastebin 'ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/' | 18:03 |
| smaudet | I don't know how that would work, although Nvidia supports TwinView just fine so probably fine. Again, not really an Ubuntu question | 18:03 |
| RoyK | (or output of that command :þ) | 18:03 |
| LinuxStyle | sure, although knowing a bit about X11 it's kinda relevant whether it supports better two in one or seperate | 18:03 |

| awc737 | so installing needs sudo, running it will be fine | 18:25 |
| clue_h | mojtaba, yes | 18:25 |
| smaudet | awc737: yes | 18:25 |
| X-User | OerHeks, whats problem with it? | 18:25 |
| awc737 | thanks | 18:25 |
| mojtaba | clue_h: What should I do? | 18:25 |
| kboodu | awc737: Not on my system. So it might be version specific. | 18:25 |
| smaudet | awc737: I still wouldn't put your srcs in /usr/local | 18:26 |
| smaudet | put them in your e.g. home directory, compile, install with sudo | 18:26 |
| awc737 | i was frustrated and already do chmod 775 / chown root:staff on /usr/local | 18:26 |
| X-User | mojtaba, you can use gparted to format usb stick | 18:26 |
| awc737 | would it be safe to do chmod 755 / chown root:root back on this? | 18:26 |
| awc737 | i think that's the default setting for everything in it | 18:26 |
| smaudet | awc737: yes | 18:26 |
| smaudet | chmod 755 | 18:26 |
| mojtaba | X-User: Yes, I know that, but I would like to do that via command line | 18:26 |
| BluesKaj | X-User, is there a youtube-dl binary in /usr/bin ? | 18:27 |
| awc737 | except a few python libraries i noticed in /usr/local/share were 775 | 18:27 |
| awc737 | i mean in /usr/local/lib | 18:27 |
| X-User | mojtaba, http://www.webupd8.org/2009/10/linux-format-your-usb-drive-via-command.html | 18:27 |
| clue_h | mojtaba, take note of the device path, unmount it and use makefs | 18:27 |
| smaudet | awc737: you shouldn't do that, those processes can be modified by staff members | 18:28 |
| mojtaba | X-User: clue_h: Thanks | 18:28 |
| awc737 | smaudet, so I shouldn't chmod 775/chown root:root on /usr/local ? | 18:28 |
| basichash | How can I install themes? I've tried putting it in ~/.themes, but no dice (ubuntu 12.04, GNOME) | 18:29 |
| smaudet | smaudet: chmod 755 && chown root:root | 18:29 |
| clue_h | awc737, you should leave it as it is | 18:29 |
| awc737 | clue_h, I'm asking how to get it back | 18:29 |
| smaudet | clue_h: he already modified it | 18:29 |
| awc737 | clue_h, I already chmod 775 / chown root:staff | 18:29 |
| X-User | BluesKaj, theres only a python script named youtube-dl in that folder | 18:29 |
| clue_h | past tense then lol | 18:29 |
| mojtaba | X-User: I used mkdosfs, but when mounting the device, it just show an error and does not mount it! | 18:29 |
| basichash | How can I install themes? I've tried putting it in ~/.themes, but no dice (ubuntu 12.04, GNOME) | 18:29 |
| awc737 | because I noticed that's what the python libraries were | 18:29 |
| awc737 | so everything else now matches them | 18:29 |
| smaudet | ... | 18:29 |
| awc737 | i'm wondering if everything else in /usr/local is probably 755/root:root | 18:30 |
| clue_h | mojtaba, http://www.unixmen.com/how-to-format-usb-drive-in-the-terminal/ | 18:30 |
| trism | basichash: putting them in ~/.themes works but you can't use Appearances to change them, you need to use gnome-tweak-tool or something similar | 18:30 |
| basichash | trism: it's not showing up in tweak | 18:30 |
| basichash | this theme specifically: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/MediterraneanNight+Series?content=156782 | 18:30 |
| X-User | mojtaba, working for me. | 18:30 |
| smaudet | awc737: lookup user and group permissions - then make a decision based on who you want to be able to modify your system | 18:31 |
| BluesKaj | X-User, then it should be working , it is a cli app | 18:31 |
| smaudet | awc737: if you don't know that, just stick with root and 755 | 18:31 |
| awc737 | smaudet, i know about it. was just wondering defaults on it | 18:31 |
| awc737 | yeah, i'm not worried about it anymore | 18:31 |
| X-User | BluesKaj, yup i nkw | 18:31 |
| quadHelix | If i want to remove a users password (employee quit), can I edit /etc/shadow and remove the characters between the first and seciond semi-colon? Allowing me then to set a new password? | 18:31 |
| X-User | BluesKaj, knw | 18:31 |
| clue_h | remove the user entirely | 18:32 |
| smaudet | awc737: if it helps those are the permissions on my /usr/local | 18:32 |
| awc737 | thanks smaudet | 18:32 |
| basichash | How can I install a gnome theme? | 18:33 |
| ubuntu-studio | hello | 18:33 |
| clue_h | quadHelix, like 'deluser user' | 18:33 |
| basichash | How can I install a gnome theme? | 18:33 |
| clue_h | i mean userdel | 18:33 |
| daftykins | !themes | 18:34 |
| ubottu | Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freecode.com/tags/theme - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy | 18:34 |
| ubuntu-studio | wich is the best editor to program in c_ | 18:34 |
| daftykins | basichash: ^ | 18:34 |
| quadHelix | clue_h so best course of action is to backup their home directory then recreate user / replace files? | 18:34 |
| trism | basichash: shows up fine in 13.04, they do say gnome 3.6 and 3.8 which isn't in 12.04, though I don't know if that should matter | 18:34 |
| smaudet | awc737: the write permissions i think are for some python specific files, they are not for the executables themselves | 18:34 |
| X-User | BluesKaj, oh i got it at last, according to youtube-dl devs the one that is present in official git repos is no longer working/recommended it said to download it from http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/download.html for both mac os x and gni/linux distros in the same process,so have to do that. | 18:34 |
| quadHelix | clue_h what happened to the good ol' days when you could boot single user and replace passwords? | 18:34 |
| smaudet | awc737: so e.g. package management stuff | 18:34 |
| clue_h | quadHelix, it accounts for /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd. so it just removes credentials, as for files i am not certain on what the best thing to do would be | 18:34 |
| smaudet | anything else is probably a mistake | 18:34 |
| basichash | trism: perhaps that's the issue. thanks nonetheless | 18:34 |
| X-User | BluesKaj, *GNU/Linux | 18:35 |
| quadHelix | right arm, ty clue_h | 18:35 |
| clue_h | quadHelix, you can do it the old way too but this is easier to me | 18:35 |
| trism | basichash: you could use a bit of gsettings to set it directly: http://askubuntu.com/a/79616/68188 | 18:35 |
| basichash | trism: If i want to install a shell theme, where would I put the directory? | 18:35 |
| quadHelix | yes, this is production server and I can not goto init 1 | 18:35 |
| clue_h | ah i see now | 18:35 |
| trism | basichash: same place, ~/.themes, gnome-shell themes include an extra directory in ~/.theme/ThemeName/gnome-shell | 18:36 |
| trism | basichash: though I think you still need the user-theme extension to change those | 18:36 |
| basichash | trism: is that a package? | 18:36 |
| trism | basichash: it is a gnome-shell extension, I don't think we have it in the repos (definitely not in 12.04 anyway) | 18:36 |
| X-User | BluesKaj, never mind for inconvenience. | 18:37 |
| basichash | trism: ok thanks | 18:37 |
| trism | basichash: oh we do have it in 13.04 now though, gnome-shell-extensions package | 18:37 |
| quadHelix | Can I set up sudoers file to only allow access to chmod, chown, chgrp for a single directory? | 18:38 |
| joelwallis | I'm trying to enable the multitouch feature on my Vostro. How can I do that? | 18:39 |
| RoyK | quadHelix: AFAIK you can only setup sudo for certain commands - for chgrp for a dir, use the +t (sticky) bit | 18:41 |
| holstein | karab44: did you find a solution? there used to literally be a "cleanup" entry in the menu. my answer was, if you want to delete files, a file manager will do so, and i assure you, my answer was an answer.. might not have been waht you are looking for.. | 18:41 |
| RoyK | quadHelix: it might be possible to do that with sudo, but better to do it with normal permission bits | 18:41 |
| === BTCOxygen|1 is now known as BTCOxygen | ||
| quadHelix | ty RoyK, perhaps I will chroot him at login. | 18:42 |
| smaudet | joelwallis: I don't know but it has to do with synaptics config files; let me know as well | 18:42 |
| karab44 | holstein: will file manager autonomously remove tons of old hidden everywhere configure files and logs ? | 18:42 |
| quadHelix | I am required to share the server with a guy who knows squat about command line, I am worried about fixing his goofs. | 18:42 |
| holstein | karab44: the "cleanup" entry i mentioned does some automated cleanup.. so will the other command "sudo auto-remove". did you try that? | 18:43 |
| karab44 | holstein: you try to be sarcastic but you exactly know what I mean | 18:43 |
| holstein | !volunteers | karab44 | 18:43 |

| nurow | can anyone recommend me a solid mobi/epub reader from Ubuntu? | 18:44 |
| DJones | nurow: Have a look at FBreader | 18:44 |
| holstein | karab44: i would try narrowing the field to *exactly* what it is you are tyring to do.. did you try "sudo apt-get autoremove" ?.. that removes some apps that you might now want anymore | 18:44 |
| karab44 | stop hidding behind ubottu and don't be sarcastic. If you're tired make a break, have a rest. | 18:44 |
| genii | nurow: calibre is also good | 18:44 |
| z0ran | nurow try calibre | 18:45 |

| quadHelix | idioterna, press CTRL+ALT+F2 for console. | 18:49 |
| idioterna | i have my shell | 18:49 |
| idioterna | i just don't know where the gdisk is on the install media | 18:50 |
| quadHelix | i have not used gdisk, i have used fdisk and gparted | 18:50 |
| idioterna | how did you get them? | 18:50 |
| quadHelix | they came on the liveCD | 18:50 |
| idioterna | my installer doesn't have fdisk | 18:50 |
| holstein | idioterna: you shouldnt need to do what you are doing. what iso are you using? | 18:50 |

| joelwallis | anyway thanks for helping | 18:51 |
| idioterna | i don't want to use the partitioning ui | 18:51 |
| idioterna | i used to be able to fdisk the first drive and then dd the partition to other drives and then set up md and lvm | 18:51 |
| holstein | idioterna: if you dont want to use it, you should be prepared to use something custom, and i dont think you are | 18:52 |
| idioterna | but my shell doesn't have fdisk anymore | 18:52 |
| idioterna | fdisk was there in 10.04 | 18:52 |
| idioterna | and it isn't anymore | 18:52 |
| idioterna | how do i get it? | 18:52 |
| holstein | idioterna: my live CD boots and lets me custom partition the disk.. it should work fine for you. otherwise, you can load that *very* 10.04 cd you want to be using and partion the disk.. then install to it | 18:52 |
| idioterna | i'm also ok with gdisk since i'd prefer GPT partitions | 18:52 |
| quadHelix | I have server 12.04, my fdisk is located at /sbin/fdisk | 18:52 |
| idioterna | no, i have 24 disks. | 18:52 |
| idioterna | i really don't want to partition them in the installer | 18:53 |
| MonkeyDust | idioterna maybe you have to type the full path for fdisk, not just the command name | 18:53 |
| holstein | idioterna: then, you should find a way to use the custom tool you want to use.. | 18:53 |
| BluesKaj | X-User, my question is , why would you use that method in the first place? The app doesn't need a ppa source. | 18:53 |
| idioterna | what custom tool, isn't fdisk/gdisk the most basic utility for manipulating disk partitions? | 18:54 |
| idioterna | does ubuntu ship with others? | 18:54 |

| X-User | holstein, what content you are talking about? just don't get it. | 18:56 |
| holstein | X-User: whatever video it is you are trying to download | 18:57 |

| daftykins | GoldenVirginia: symlink each /home/user to /user on the separate HDDs | 18:59 |
| holstein | X-User: i have no idea.. but nothing at youtube guarntees you to be able to download your own copy. so expect breakage of apps that try and provide that, as the downloading of said content is circumvented | 18:59 |
| X-User | holstein, this is the video i was trying to download http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6MlUcmOul8 and its open-source btw | 19:00 |
| holstein | X-User: then, the creator will have no issues sharing a copy with you | 19:00 |
| GoldenVirginia | daftykins: So /home/user will exist on my SSD, where my main OS is and they fill up with space of HDD with symlinks ? | 19:00 |
| BluesKaj | also sometimes wget or even curl can DL media that youtube-dl can't | 19:00 |
| X-User | holstein, ok i get what you mean, let it be i will download it from their website | 19:01 |
| daftykins | GoldenVirginia: that would be one way | 19:01 |
| GoldenVirginia | daftykins: symlink wouldnt hinder the performance ? and whats the other way ? | 19:02 |
| daftykins | GoldenVirginia: well, your home still contains some user data of applications like the .hidden folders, so what you could do is just symlink your Music/Photos/Video folders onto the HDDs to keep them off-SSD, whilst the application configs stay on the SSD to keep fast. | 19:02 |

| ezra-s | histo, it is wpa personal, only works with TKIP, if I force AES only in the wifi router it wont ever authenticate | 19:33 |
| histo | ezra-s: there are a lot of posts on askubuntu.com with that particular chipset. It appears other people are using different drivers | 19:35 |
| histo | ezra-s: people are also blacklisting the acer_wmi driver for what ever reason and having sucess | 19:35 |
| histo | ezra-s: http://askubuntu.com/search?q=ar242x | 19:36 |
| ezra-s | histo, it is an acer laptop.. mmm going to check that | 19:36 |

| BluesKaj | vooze, the audio is transferred from the soundcard to the hdmi out , perhaps if you install pavucontrol then you have that option in the outputs there | 19:55 |

| mamed | hello guys . i think ubunt 13.04 consumes so much system sources cause my laptop fan always turns in a high speed and noisy | 20:24 |
| mamed | how can i optimize my system | 20:24 |
| bekks | Clean the fan. | 20:24 |
| histo | mamed: first clean your fan and ensure that it's not a bug that it's spinning at full speed constantly. Also what video chipset are you using and driver? | 20:24 |
| mamed | physical issues are done | 20:24 |
| baphomet111 | haha bekks | 20:25 |
| baphomet111 | clean fan. new thermal paste. | 20:25 |
| s4h4n | Hello guys.. Need help here... While trying to install ubuntu 13.04 I splitted a partition using windows disk manager. Then formatted it. Then disk became dynamic. Trying to get it back to Basic useda hex editor to edit a number... Now I can't boot into windows or.. install ubuntu what can i do??? Please help... | 20:25 |
| baphomet111 | how much memory do you have installed in the system? | 20:25 |
| mamed | well in 11.10 everything was ok it was fast and stable and my fan were not making noise everytime | 20:25 |
| histo | s4h4n: boot the ubuntu installation media and fix your disks | 20:25 |
| M3rl1n | mamed, how does 13.04 look so far? i been thinking about trying it out live. but my 12.04 lts is just so slick im not seeing a need for it right now. | 20:25 |

| s4h4n | But how?? | 20:26 |
| mamed | yeah i thought so bec of the compositor | 20:26 |
| bekks | s4h4n: Use a live cd to revert your changes. | 20:26 |
| histo | s4h4n: depends what you did by editing. What editor did you use and what did you change? | 20:26 |
| daftykins | mamed: you probably shouldn't run Unity | 20:26 |

| daftykins | unity's bad in any form, heh | 20:27 |
| histo | !notunity | mamed | 20:27 |
| ubottu | mamed: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. | 20:27 |

| MonkeyDust | s4h4n a live session is for testing purposes, not for production | 20:30 |
| baphomet111 | use something like top to find out what process is eating all your memory | 20:30 |

| s4h4n | OK then what can i use to repair it.. | 20:31 |
| karab44 | histo: good point but can you direct me how to go back to old driver/ remove new one? | 20:31 |
| histo | s4h4n: gparted | 20:31 |

| karab44 | histo: http://pastebin.com/6CphXvhi | 20:38 |
| histo | fartface: the image for the vm would be checked as a whole | 20:39 |
| karab44 | here are the dpkg | 20:39 |
| baphomet111 | histo, I prefer not to run graphics cards with linux. I have had way too many issues in the past. Although it looks like nVidia finally listened after Linus ripped them | 20:39 |
| fartface | histo: That's kind of what I figured. | 20:39 |
| baphomet111 | histo, because now my other laptop with an nvidia card runs super stable | 20:39 |
| bekks | fartface: Yes and no. Inside the vm it depends on the fs you are using, but the container file itself is stored on ZFS. | 20:39 |
| feeshon | MonkeyDust: Right but with rsync you would only get the difference and not be able to go back into different states of the file sets | 20:39 |

| MonkeyDust | feeshon if you want that, use btrfs, insteas of ext4 <-- i havent tried it myself, just read what it can do | 20:40 |
| histo | karab44: what nvidia card do you have? lspci | grep VGA will show you. | 20:40 |
| fartface | I think the best way to keep the data integrity in check would be to mount the pool as a shared volume (either NFS, SMB, or AFP depending on the connecting client) and have it checked that way. | 20:40 |

| Krystle_ | msg baphomet111 thanks anyway | 20:40 |
| fartface | Works quite well actually. | 20:40 |
| histo | feeshon: you'd have to consult the documentation for rsnapshot most likley. | 20:40 |
| wilee-nilee | fartface, for just info there are #zfs and #zfsonlinux channels as well | 20:40 |
| karab44 | histo: need more details or it's enough? | 20:41 |
| histo | karab44: lspci | grep VGA | 20:41 |
| karab44 | pastebinit does not work on livecd so It's a bit unonvinient | 20:41 |
| vadi | How do I contact Ubuntu's "technical support" when I need to report a bug in Ubuntu - and it is very clear that it is a bug? | 20:41 |
| fartface | wilee-nilee: #zfs was +m (I wasn't able to send to channel), and wasn't sure if they'd be the best support for ZFS on Linux, didn't realize there was a dedicated ZoL channel, cheers! | 20:41 |
| feeshon | histo: Yea I looked into it but there is only a function for lazy_delete which isn't what I am looking for | 20:41 |
| wilee-nilee | !bug | vadi | 20:41 |
| ubottu | vadi: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 20:41 |
| histo | karab44: you can apt-get install pastebinit on your chroot | 20:42 |
| bekks | fartface: Ah, that linux FOSS implementation. And just mounting something will not enforce an integrity check. If you want the integrity being checked, use scrub. | 20:42 |
| histo | karab44: or just copy and paste the one liner here. for the lspci command | 20:42 |
| vadi | Yes, I have done that - and it says I have to go through "technical support" first before I can. | 20:42 |
| wilee-nilee | fartface, Might have to be registered with freenode | 20:42 |
| karab44 | it's another physical machine | 20:42 |
| histo | feeshon: perhaps you need a different backup solution then. | 20:42 |
| fartface | bekks: Couldn't I setup a job to automatically scrub the data stored on the drive at scheduled intervals? | 20:42 |
| karab44 | but it says not much, 570 GTX, rev 2 (rev. 1A) | 20:42 |
| bekks | fartface: Once a month, yes. | 20:43 |
| histo | feeshon: rsnapshot keeps a certain number of snapshots which is configurable. | 20:43 |
| MonkeyDust | feeshon https://help.ubuntu.com/community/btrfs#Create_snapshots | 20:43 |
| fartface | Ah, that should be enough for my application (just a home server) | 20:43 |
| === tux_1|2 is now known as tux_1 | ||
| bekks | fartface: For a homeserver, scrub isnt necessary at all. :) | 20:43 |
| feeshon | histo: Where did you see that? | 20:44 |
| fartface | Well I'd like to ensure that my data stays as it should. | 20:44 |
| fartface | Even if it's a bit overkill. | 20:44 |
| bekks | fartface: Then backup your data. | 20:44 |
| feeshon | MonkeyDust: Yea that looks really good, I appreciate that info, I would have to migrate the data to a new file system in order to do so. | 20:44 |
| jjavaholic | I'm experiencing a never ending dim screen after accidently pressing sleep button on Keyboard how can I reverse this? | 20:44 |
| mamed | i am logging out to try unity 2d thanks guyz | 20:44 |
| histo | feeshon: on their website. You would probably have to just create another full backup after awhile and remove the previous one. | 20:44 |
| fartface | bekks: It's backed up as well. | 20:44 |
| bekks | fartface: Then you dont need scrubbing at all. | 20:45 |
| fartface | But one of the biggest draws for ZFS for me was the integrity checks to ensure that what's being backed up is what I intended to backup. | 20:45 |
| bekks | fartface: Look at zfs checksum=yes | 20:45 |
| bekks | fartface: You dont need regular scrubbing at home. | 20:45 |
| histo | yuck btrfs | 20:45 |
| fartface | Ah, right on! | 20:46 |
| === DouglasK is now known as DouglasKAway | ||
| histo | karab44: I believe you would use nvidia-current | 20:46 |
| histo | karab44: after your remove the others apt-get install nvidia-current and then try rebooting when that is done. | 20:46 |
| bekks | fartface: I am using Solaris with ZFS for my home server - but thats offtopic in here. | 20:46 |
| karab44 | histo: I did apt-get purge but there a lot of permission denies, mostly /dev/null and /dev/random | 20:49 |
| karab44 | I did pastebinit but don't know where it went :P | 20:49 |
| Dr_Willis | odd that you have permission issues on /dev/null unless you are chrooted or somthing. | 20:50 |

| jmeps3 | Brasileiro On? | 20:52 |
| Dr_Willis | that would explain the problem .;) | 20:52 |
| histo | karab44: just apt-get install nvidia-current | 20:52 |
| fartface | bekks: I had thought about going the openindiana route, but I was more comfortable in an ubuntu environment so ended up just going that route instead. Seems to be good so far! | 20:52 |
| troulouliou_dev | hi i have 13.04 on a I7 4 core + HT; seems like i have default issues with multithreading when file access is involved as soon as a disk copy or file extract/compress is started; all the gui/desktop becomes really slow | 20:53 |
| jmeps3 | How to make array in C + + | 20:54 |
| bekks | fartface: The ZFS FOSS is quite unstable, untested, and has far less features as well as a lower zpool and zfs revision as Solaris. | 20:55 |
| ikonia | jmeps3: ask in ##c++ | 20:55 |
| karab44 | histo: what now, is it ok? reboot? | 20:55 |
| bekks | fartface: When using ZFS, frankly, I'd not use that FOSS stuff. | 20:55 |
| histo | karab44: yeah try it out | 20:55 |
| karab44 | :P | 20:55 |
| karab44 | hold on your butts | 20:55 |
| karab44 | histo: You are the best! | 20:56 |
| karab44 | It is working! | 20:57 |
| karab44 | Thank you | 20:57 |
| histo | karab44: np | 20:57 |
| karab44 | now I can break and fix it all the time | 20:57 |
| histo | karab44: pretty much just backup your ~ | 20:57 |
| karab44 | I was on the way, it was last step before backup and you know what then happened | 20:59 |
| histo | !backup | karab44 | 20:59 |
| ubottu | karab44: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 20:59 |
| karab44 | !cloning | 21:00 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this may cause problems with multiarch before 12.10) - See also !automate | 21:00 |
| karab44 | I actually want to clone a whole system, like VM snapshot | 21:00 |
| Dr_Willis | clonezilla perhaps. | 21:01 |
| Dr_Willis | or go old-skool with dd. ;) | 21:01 |
| histo | karab44: tar or dd + gzip | 21:02 |
| karab44 | ;d | 21:02 |
| histo | karab44: although clonezilla is a nifty little tool to have on your thumbdrive | 21:02 |
| s4h4n | Is there a way to reverse this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EZXceqY4hU | 21:02 |
| fartface | bekks: I realize it's a bit offtopic in here, but did you go to OpenSolaris from *nix or vice versa? If so, how'd you find the learning curve? Was it very difficult to pick up? | 21:03 |
| === speed is now known as Guest77860 | ||
| Dr_Willis | great thing about the *nix stuff. you learn the fundamental/core tools and they tend to work the same on all the *nix variants | 21:04 |
| SuperLag | Normally, I'd use an external display for this... but when I'm not docked, is there a way to "dock" a window to the left half of the screen, and one to the right? | 21:04 |
| karab44 | I have clonezzila somewhere quite fresh copy | 21:04 |
| histo | s4h4n: reverse the video | 21:04 |
| histo | s4h4n: if you have ubuntu installed somehow to a dynamic disk you need to start over. | 21:04 |
| Dr_Willis | SuperLag: well with unity/compiz i can push a window the the right side. it goes 'half' the screen. I could then make it always on top/sticky so its always there. | 21:04 |
| histo | s4h4n: or copy the data out and put it on a real partition. | 21:05 |
| Dr_Willis | SuperLag: but not sure about making other apps 'not' go under it. | 21:05 |
| Dr_Willis | SuperLag: there might be some compiz window rules that could do it. | 21:05 |
| SuperLag | hmm... | 21:05 |
| SuperLag | Dr_Willis: and I'm using Xubuntu, so I'm not sure if it uses Compiz. | 21:06 |
| Dr_Willis | SuperLag: not by default | 21:06 |
| histo | s4h4n: and yes your could revert the change with any hex editor | 21:06 |
| Dr_Willis | You may want to look into 'devilspie' | 21:06 |
| Dr_Willis | i dont really see any 'dock' setting in the compiz windows rules plugin either. | 21:07 |
| s4h4n | how do i add a hex editor to a live usb?? | 21:07 |
| Dr_Willis | I tend to tweak that plugin to make windows like the file copy dialog alwyas be 'always on top, at the top right' and so forth | 21:07 |
| histo | s4h4n: apt-get install somepackage | 21:08 |
| Dr_Willis | s4h4n: sudo apt-get install packagename will load it. (to ram) it will get lost on reboot | 21:08 |
| histo | s4h4n: or use the software center | 21:08 |
| histo | s4h4n: you're going to have a hell of a time finding that value though. | 21:08 |
| histo | s4h4n: I dont' believe windows creates dynamic disks in the partition table so who knows where it actually is on your disk. Why do you assume that is the problem with your system? | 21:09 |
| karab44 | histo: I am on 319-upd and it works great and got just back to original screen resolution. Once again thanks a lot thousand times! | 21:10 |
| histo | Aren't dynamic disks just m$ implementation of LVM? | 21:10 |
| histo | karab44: np anytime. | 21:10 |

| junOO | running Maverick until I can afford a back up drive to back up files | 22:42 |
| junOO | I have a question about root user and file paths | 22:43 |
| daftykins | junOO: ouch, partition a /home in future ;) | 22:43 |
| Marlenee | any altrantive commmand to - fg , screen , tmux | 22:43 |
| daftykins | junOO: just ask, on one line plz | 22:43 |
| jrib | Marlenee: why? | 22:43 |
| junOO | will do | 22:43 |
| junOO | Want to change username and all associated paths yet it allowed me to create a "username" that is displayed above my original name | 22:44 |
| jrib | Marlenee: what do you need to do exactly that none of those tools do? | 22:44 |
| jrib | junOO: what do you mean by "root user"? | 22:44 |
| jrib | !maverick | junOO | 22:45 |
| ubottu | junOO: Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) was the thirteenth release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 10th, 2012, see http://ubottu.com/y/maverick for details. | 22:45 |
| junOO | I want a new username which I want to be the root name andI would like to change all paths associated with name | 22:45 |
| jrib | junOO: what do you mean by "root name"...? | 22:45 |
| jrib | junOO: do you just want a user that can use sudo? | 22:45 |
| junOO | the main username, as I only have one acount I assume my username is the "root" name | 22:45 |
| jrib | junOO: no, root is a special account. It's not the same as your first user account. | 22:46 |
| junOO | got it | 22:46 |
| jrib | junOO: anyway, why not just make a new account with whatever name you want? I strongly urge you to upgrade to a supported release though. Maverick hasn't been supported for a long time (no security updates) | 22:46 |
| Marlenee | jrib: for run programmes in background even if the session closed | 22:46 |
| jrib | Marlenee: yeah, what's wrong with screen and tmux? | 22:47 |
| junOO | I tried to update several times but get many errors. I was advised to do fresh install | 22:47 |
| jrib | junOO: that should be your priority | 22:47 |
| MonkeyDust | Marlenee byobu is a nice extra layer for screen | 22:47 |
| junOO | Unfortunately I believe you need to back up files to do a fresh install properly | 22:47 |
| daftykins | Marlenee: what's wrong with screen for that? | 22:47 |
| jrib | junOO: doing a fresh install shouldn't be the reason you have backups. You should have backups for any data you care about. If you don't have backups, you don't have data you care about | 22:48 |
| junOO | No excuses there, I should have backups | 22:48 |
| dark_lord | wilee-nilee, Around 2 hours ago. | 22:49 |
| doomlord | heh good nick | 22:49 |
| junOO | jrib: Anyway to upgrade with minimal losses? | 22:51 |
| wilee-nilee | dark_lord I would try the photorec as suggested, and start backing stuff up | 22:51 |
| Marlenee | MonkeyDust : byobu make my screen server sucks ! | 22:52 |
| jrib | junOO: I would make backups first | 22:52 |
| jrib | !upgrade | junOO | 22:53 |
| ubottu | junOO: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 22:53 |
| dark_lord | wilee-nilee, photorec in ubuntu ? Is it any software ? | 22:53 |
| dark_lord | And yeah I am really upset I dont have bacup of it. | 22:53 |
| wilee-nilee | testdisk | 22:53 |
| junOO | backup suggestions in the cloud? No physical drives available. Under 10G | 22:55 |
| wilee-nilee | dark_lord http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec | 22:55 |
| Marlenee | can i search online in the repos for pkg | 23:03 |
| junOO | hello | 23:04 |

| map | can anyone lend a hand - having trouble getting wired or wireless on an old dell (pesky broadcom) ive been reading the forum but no luck | 23:25 |
| daftykins | wireless broadcom or both? | 23:26 |
| daftykins | which model? | 23:26 |
| wilee-nilee | map, You have seen the broadcom wiki? | 23:26 |
| map | both broadcom daftykins bcm4311 and bcm4401 | 23:26 |
| daftykins | map: hang on i'll dig up the thread i solved some peoples 4311 troubles with the other day, 13.04 ? | 23:26 |
| map | i think so..i saw a lot of forum posts and for example - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2170728&highlight=BCM4311 | 23:26 |
| map | i cant do the install as i have no connection (wired or wirless) could i use the ubuntu dvd to install from? | 23:27 |
| daftykins | sudo apt-get remove --purge bcmwl-kernel-source | 23:27 |
| daftykins | sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree | 23:27 |
| daftykins | ^do those and reboot | 23:27 |
| map | i cant do the second though..it fails as i have no connection | 23:27 |
| daftykins | you could download the package manually | 23:27 |
| map | ah wouldn't it be on the dvd ? | 23:27 |
| === matthew is now known as mjayk | ||
| map | i wondered if i could use the DVD as a repo instead of internet repo | 23:27 |
| daftykins | i don't think you can get packages off the DVD no | 23:27 |
| map | ok | 23:28 |
| map | hm | 23:28 |
| map | bit annoying having no net at all:) | 23:28 |
| daftykins | indeed | 23:28 |
| daftykins | still, those two solved two user's 4311 at the same time | 23:28 |
| daftykins | so you should be good to go after that | 23:28 |
| isasha | Hello | 23:28 |
| map | daftykins, where could i get package then? | 23:29 |
| map | packages.ubuntu ah | 23:29 |
| rotham | hey.. will rm files/*/*.jpg just delete jpg's in subfolders under files/, or what? | 23:29 |
| isasha | I'm having an issue with fstab, I've tried to set it up so that my two additional hdd's mount on boot, however during booting it tells me that it cannot find the drives and asks me to skip or to mount manually | 23:29 |
| isasha | here is my fstab config: http://pastebin.com/LK5NjxuT | 23:29 |
| isasha | I have a suspicion that it could be related to the spaces in the end mount directory | 23:30 |
| isasha | any ideas? | 23:30 |
| jrib | rotham: what you said | 23:31 |
| dr_willis_ | this is when a $10 usb wifi dongle that works out of the box is nice | 23:31 |
| rotham | k thx | 23:31 |
| daftykins | isasha: yes why have spaces? | 23:31 |
| jrib | rotham: only one level | 23:31 |
| daftykins | isasha: consider using the UUIDs as the fstab file recommends also | 23:31 |
| isasha | daftykins: well I set it up like that a long time ago | 23:31 |
| dr_willis_ | spaces in fstab are weirdly done | 23:32 |
| rotham | jrib: is there a way to do it with 1 command to delete all jpgs through multiple levels? | 23:32 |
| isasha | are you talking about the spaces in the mount point or in-between the different options? | 23:32 |
| daftykins | isasha: the mount point | 23:32 |
| isasha | huh | 23:32 |
| daftykins | DL2\ 160 is throwing it i bet | 23:32 |
| isasha | both are | 23:32 |
| daftykins | yep | 23:32 |
| daftykins | i just didn't type both :D | 23:32 |
| jrib | rotham: sure, you can use files/**/*.jpg (you may need to enable a bash option for this to work) or find. I urge you to try to "ls" the files first before doing "rm" so you can check what it will delete | 23:32 |
| rotham | ok cool thank you | 23:33 |
| isasha | so how should I type it then? | 23:33 |
| CountryfiedLinux | How do you install Ubuntu on a tablet? Does it have a bios with a bootloader option? Can it be ran live so I can test the hardware first? | 23:33 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest86726 | ||
| === Guest86726 is now known as tempte2 | ||
| dr_willis_ | depends on the tablet CountryfiedLinux | 23:35 |
| wilee-nilee | CountryfiedLinux, There are a couple of tablet options one is touch and images of saucy=13.10 both i development #ubuntu-touch is there home. | 23:35 |
| wilee-nilee | in* | 23:35 |
| mapps | ok daftykins ive got it now ran the purge cmd and then installed the .deb file followed by modprobe b43..i now have eth1 wired but no wireless:( | 23:35 |
| mapps | arghhh! | 23:35 |
| wilee-nilee | but depends on the tablet | 23:35 |
| daftykins | mapps: it was meant to be a reboot and there was no mention of probing modules (: | 23:36 |
| mapps | there was on that forum thread | 23:36 |
| mapps | and i have rebooted! | 23:36 |
| CountryfiedLinux | wilee-nilee, The price of tablets now days makes rigging it to be a touchscreen laptop a great idea :) just need a bluetooth keyboard and portfolio case. | 23:36 |
| mapps | so now i have wlan0 and eth1 - but network manager isnt listing any networks? my network is visible from where i am | 23:37 |
| wilee-nilee | CountryfiedLinux, I like my nexus, but I run android waiting fir the developments with ubuntu to get a bit more, well developed. | 23:37 |
| wilee-nilee | nexus 7 | 23:37 |
| mapps | ya i got a nexus7 | 23:38 |
| mapps | nice tables dude | 23:38 |
| wilee-nilee | easu to root id needed | 23:38 |
| wilee-nilee | if | 23:38 |
| daftykins | mapps: this was the link itself: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1997880 | 23:38 |
| CountryfiedLinux | wilee-nilee, Is Gnome Shell touch ready? | 23:38 |
| isasha | daftykins: never mind, I figured it out: all I had to do was add 040 after the \ | 23:39 |
| CountryfiedLinux | wilee-nilee, It seems like the best option for tablets IMO | 23:39 |
| daftykins | isasha: where'd you get that idea? what does it look like now? | 23:39 |
| wilee-nilee | CountryfiedLinux, Not sure I had raring installed a bit rough on the touch a couple of months ago, may be better now, the tablet image is the regular desktop, I had lubuntu going as well. | 23:39 |
| isasha | /dev/sdc1/media/sasha/DL1\040300/ext4defaults02 | 23:40 |
| isasha | same for the other one | 23:40 |
| isasha | just rebooted, mounted automatically just fine | 23:40 |
| === Marlenee_s is now known as Marlenee | ||
| CountryfiedLinux | wilee-nilee, touch worked ok in LXDE? | 23:40 |
| daftykins | isasha: i'd have just dropped the spaces myself XD | 23:41 |
| wilee-nilee | CountryfiedLinux, The touch in general was not perfect a while back, may be different now, no live images that I know off. | 23:41 |
| isasha | daftykins: I have over 150 torrents in rtorrent, I would have had to manually fix the filenames and it would have been a pain | 23:42 |
| wilee-nilee | CountryfiedLinux, The #ubuntu-touch channel is the best resource though | 23:42 |
| CountryfiedLinux | wilee-nilee, Oh ok thanks bro | 23:42 |
| daftykins | isasha: ah, nice Linux distro collection. ok | 23:42 |
| wilee-nilee | no prob | 23:42 |
| mapps | right | 23:43 |
| mapps | so ok done that rebooting now lets see | 23:44 |
| isasha | daftykins: no, I mostly have movies, tv shows, music and software seeding to private trackers. Best part is, it's totally legal where I live (well, at least the downloading part) :D | 23:44 |
| mapps | ok daftykins both are listed wlan0 and eth1 | 23:45 |
| mapps | but its not listing any wireless networks? | 23:45 |
| daftykins | isasha: please don't talk about that in here. i doubt it is either, but i don't want to enter into a discussion about it :) | 23:47 |
| daftykins | mapps: hrmm not sure i'm afraid, could be network manager having issues, try looking into resetting network manager's settings perhaps | 23:48 |
| mapps | ok thanks | 23:48 |
