knigitzrunning with sudo, "dropbox start -i" to install service.  it sits at starting dropbox for a while, then downloads, then unpacks, but it never installs service.  "dropbox start" always recommends i run it with -i, suggesting the daemon is not installed.00:08
SchrodingersScatknigitz: did it create a folder?00:10
knigitzyes, i had a folder created before I rebooted my VM.  however, it only populated folders, never any files (which was the reason I tried a reboot), and the dropbox daemon now will not start.00:10

MJ90Hi Every One, I am new to Linux. I have a problem with my EVDO 3g modem. The modem is used for chinal telecome. I bought it from third party seller. I live in Myanmar. My problem is that the modem is not detected by the Ubuntu at every time of booting up. It show up some time and not. If it is showed, I can't used it with Ununtu's Network Setting. I have to use wvdial00:23
MJ90What should I do, to dected it every time of booting up.00:23
mappsleaving it to upgrade now gonna go to the gym hopefully be done when i get back-00:24
wilee-nileeMJ90, You have the exact model info, I would get a plug and play they are rather cheap.00:25

Yu-Yuwilee-nilee: Don't you state I have to downgrade manually (how do I do so with the whole distro??) just to get some help ever?00:28
MJ90if not, Bus 006 Device 002: ID 05c6:1000 Qualcomm, Inc. USB mass storage00:29
wilee-nileeYu-Yu, I did not state a download, that is a fresh install if you want a released version.00:30
wilee-nileesorry downgrade*00:30
seperoYu-Yu: There is no option to system downgrade. You must reinstall00:30
* Yu-Yu shakes her head and cries.00:31
Yu-Yusepero: I didn't reinstall it here since 2009 or like that.00:32
MJ90Hi, What should I do.00:32
seperoYu-Yu: Why are you using a beta version of the system? It should be expected to have fundamental problems00:32
seperoYu-Yu: If you want a very stable system, you need to go with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS00:33
SiecjeIn the terminal I can't press up to see the previous command ubuntu 13.0400:33
Silver_Arrowanybody familiar with qtsixad?00:33
Silver_ArrowI can't figure out what snippet from my dmesg sixad-raw wants about my controller00:33
wilee-nileeMJ90, I'm not seeing much on that unit none really, personally I would get one that plugs and just works, drivers for linux in many areas are just not kicked out by manufacturers.00:34
Yu-Yusepero: I am weird and my decisions weird are. Nevertheless, all I know at the moment is that if I want a stable system, I have to build my own team and make this stable system appear.00:34
MJ90Thanks wilee-nilee00:35
seperoYu-Yu: Just install Ubuntu 12.0400:35
Yu-Yusepero: Okay. I won't do so. I don't wanna follow that weird MS way.00:38
Yu-Yusepero: Especially if it sounds like «gnome-settings-daemon AccountsService-CRITICAL **: act_user_set_input_sources: assertion 'g_variant_is_of_type (sources, G_VARIANT_TYPE ("aa{ss}"))' failed», you know.00:39

Benkinoobymaybe a bug01:55
zykotick9Siecje: try "source ~/.bashrc" and see if that updates things01:55

c2tarunHi friends, I just created a swap partition so that I can hibernate my laptop. Do I have to enable this swap partition somehow or linux will automatically detect it? http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-friday30august2013-072757ist.php02:01
zykotick9Siecje: start a new bash session then, run "bash".02:01
mhallI am seeing an absolutely bizarre bug on a Gateway AMD Vision box with EFI firmware. The display comes up as "1920x1080" in X, but blurry, and not filling the entire 1920x1080 LCD panel. Almost like it's a bad VGA connection. But the connection is HDMI. Has anybody else figured out the cause of this? I am not even really sure how to Google a problem this strange.02:02
mhallThis EFI system has been nothing but pure misery to try to install02:03
histoc2tarun: you need it mounted then you can swapon /whatever02:03
zykotick9Siecje: i see at least two other entries with /u in them, perhaps you aren't changing the right one?02:03
c2tarunhisto, how do I do that?02:03
histoc2tarun: jsut swapon /dev/of/partition02:03
mhallIs there a different ATI driver I could try besides the fglrx or anything02:03
histoc2tarun: assuming you have mkswap'd it02:04
Siecjeok that worked02:04
mhallman that IPv6 just needs one more nybble set for a full house02:05
histoc2tarun: then you can add it to your fstab to utilize it on boot02:05
c2tarunhisto, I was reading about fstab only02:06
histoc2tarun: create an entry for your swap partition in your /etc/fstab02:06
histo!swap | c2tarun02:06
ubottuc2tarun: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info02:06
c2tarunhisto, will this do? http://askubuntu.com/questions/33697/adding-swap-partition-after-system-installation02:08
ozetteI added a file "llvm-nightly.list" to my sources.list.d directory, and now i'm trying to install a list of packages from the repo.. the packages can't be found however, do I have to restart apt somehow?02:08
wilee-nileeozette, where did you get it a PPA?02:09
Siecjehow do I change the hotkeys to put windows in the corners from num pad numbers to numbers02:09
NeverHerec2tarun, you can increase your swap space with the built in disk utility last i checked, if thats what you are trying to do02:09
c2tarunNeverHere, I created swap, I am trying to activate it.02:10
ozettewilee-nilee, no, i copy paste it from the llvm site http://llvm.org/apt/02:10
zykotick9ozette: "sudo apt-get update" should pull any new, WORKING repos in.02:10
NeverHerec2tarun, swap is automatically activated when the system runs low or out of usable memory02:10
ozettezykotick9, aha.. let me try that02:10
c2tarunNeverHere, I guess I have to mention that a partition is swap in /etc/fstab02:11

c2tarunhisto, here is my new fstab: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6042536/02:13
c2tarunI think I should reboot and then test my hibernate. Thanks histo02:15
ozettezykotick9, the update threw a GPG error on this new repo and complained about a public key not being available, nonetheless it doesn't seem to matter and it has worked the packages are now installing, thanks02:15
histoc2tarun: why not just swapon /dev/sda6    and see now02:15
c2tarunhisto, I did that from gparted menu. Is it same as you are saying?02:16
Siecjehow do I change the hotkey alt+ctrl+Num pad 9 to be just regular 902:16
histoc2tarun: open a terminal and type in sudo swapon /dev/sda602:16
c2tarunhisto, I am getting device or resource busy, is there any way to check which device is in swapon right now?02:17
zykotick9histo: i'm not sure if the swap needs to be in fstab for this to work, but I always use "sudo swapon -a" (for all), or the reverse "sudo swapoff -a".02:17
zykotick9histo: actually, i don't think it does need to be in fstab (thus my suggesting it), as the ubuntu LiveCD does it automatically.02:18
c2tarunhisto, I found this in my /proc/swaps http://paste.ubuntu.com/6042544/ I think I can test is now only.02:19
c2tarunzykotick9, actually I didn't opted for swap partition while installation.02:19
histoc2tarun: free -m     does that show swap being on?02:19
c2tarunhisto, yes02:19
histoc2tarun: then try your silly hibernation. Hopefully swap is bigger than your physical ram size02:20
c2tarunhisto, yup :) approx 500 MB bigger. Just curious, why is hibernation silly?02:20
* zykotick9 doesn't find hibernation "silly"02:20

holsteinfunky2: you will ask them for support.. if you have access, you download the data you are talking about and put it up on the new machine03:03
funky2put it how?03:03
funky2simply log in to new ubuntu and then what? once I format hdd I loose putty access03:04
funky2:)03:04
holsteinfunky2: ask the host.. i grab the data friend.. via ssh.. with a filemanager.. whatever way i choose.. grsync03:04
funky2well grab part I get03:04
funky2its to get it to new dudes03:04
holsteinfunky2: when you actually have a 'new" ubuntu, you wont login and wipe anything03:04
holsteinfunky2: you are the same "dude".. they dont care because its your data.. you backup the data, and move it over03:04
funky2they care cause I pay03:05

holsteinfunky2: loading up something like clonezilla, and backing it up03:07
funky2it seems host dont want to allow for easy migration to keep customers03:08

wilee-nileeffio, gnome 3 underlies unity is the gnome-shell and part of the fallback desktop.03:37
ffiohi wilee-nilee :)03:37
wilee-nileehi03:38
=== jack is now known as Guest89791
ffiowilee-nilee: so gnome3 would work without any issues.03:39
wilee-nileeffio, what I was trying to explain is that gnome 3 is part of multiple desktops, so what version do you want.03:39
wilee-nileethe gnome-shell is basically gnome 3 is that what you mean it looks like the release.03:40
ffiognome 3.803:42
LicideHello03:43
wilee-nileeffio, 3.8 is in 13.10 any desktops before that are  ppa versions of 3.8, ppa's are not supprted here is all03:43
wilee-nileeif you want 3.8 in any before you would use the ppa is what I mean03:44
ffiowilee-nilee: now getting your point.03:44
wilee-nileesorry. ;)03:44
ffiosorry ? why what happened ?03:44
LicideUSB does not boot, it isn't in boot menu but USB boot is enabled. .-.03:45
wilee-nileeJust my explanation is slightly convoluted.03:45
wilee-nileeLicide, What is on the usb, and how is it formatted?03:46
wilee-nileeLicide, Boot menu, in the bios?03:46
LicideI installed from what it says on the Ubuntu site03:46
Licideand yes03:47
wilee-nileeLicide, does the computer boot usb's?03:47
LicideUSB boot is enabled03:47
wilee-nileeLicide, where?03:47
Licidein BIOS03:47
ffioeven cinnamon is buggy :(03:48
wilee-nileeLicide, So what is the app that the site says to use to load the usb with ubuntu?03:48
LicideUniversal-USB-Installer03:49
wilee-nileeLicide, So your saying the you see no usb listed in the bios boot list of HD's, cd's..etc with it plugged in?03:51
Licideyes03:51
wilee-nileeLicide, Could be that the usb is being read as a cd, could be a bad load of the usb, several possibilities, you have it plugged in when you start the computer to go to the bios?03:52
LicideI installed it to usb 3 times03:53
Licideand yes03:53
wilee-nileeLicide, I have found that usb loader to be problematic when I tried a while back, try unetbootin another loader, just to see if the usb shows.03:54
Licidefirst 2 times from Ubuntu and now on Universal-USB-Installer03:54
Licidei might try unet03:54
LicideIt worked every other time on my laptops though03:55
wilee-nileeLicide, What is the list you see in the bios in that boot section?03:55
revelrevolWiliee, Licide, hi--want to mention that I just had success not with Universal USB Installer but with wubi03:55
LicideI don't remember03:56
Licideand I don't want wubi :P03:56
wilee-nileeLicide, Could also be a bad download, you can check the ISO's md5sum. You could also see if the list is the same with and without the usb, to confirm being read as another media.03:57
revelrevolLicide...sorry, did I miss that from earlier? just joined. I checked the ubuntu website for certified hardware and downloaded the version (12.04 LTS) that was certified for my hardware. U-USB Inst wouldn't work for me several times over.03:57
LicideI redownloaded every time03:58
revelrevolwhat do you view as a negative regarding wubi?03:58
LicideI just want a real install :P03:58
revelrevol? mine is a dual boot, but quite real03:59
wilee-nileerevelrevol, You might read what the wubi designer says about it. Wubi is not a dualboot it is a file in windows.03:59

lonejackHi, does anyone know how to change (non admin) user privileges(connect wifi, allow sw upgrade) on 12.04?04:01
lonejackon previous vesrion that was possible04:02
Licidebrb04:02
wilee-nileelonejack, Can you explain that more clearly using full words?04:02
mapcan anyone lend a hand with this broadcom problem I'm having?04:05
wilee-nileelonejack, So is it you want updates from a standard account?04:05
NeverHeremap, have you tried installing restricted drivers?04:05
zykotick9lonejack: i'd A) suggest adding that user to sudo group (admin) or B) wrestle with sudoers for those tasks.  good luck.04:05
LicideWiiUme that04:05
Licideme04:05
lonejackwilee-nilee, I've a laptop. I'm the admin. I want to give the laptop to a non expert user. I created a new user but I wuold like to allowe him to connect to genric (new) wifi04:06
mapive tried almost everything i can find NeverHere  =[ removed bcmwl-kernel-source then installed linux-firmware-nonfree hd to do that off a usb stick as i had no wired connection either04:06
mapthen i ran apt-get upograde and wireless worked..rebooted and it's gone=[04:06
LicideWiiUill use this :P04:06
lonejackzykotick9, ok04:06
lonejackzykotick9, create a new group04:06
NeverHeremap could i maybe be a hardware issue?04:07
zykotick9lonejack: no.  sudo is a default group - that allows sudo use.04:07
wilee-nileelonejack, If you have wifi set to auto login and it is the same nick and password they will.04:07
mapyea it is in that broadcoms are a pain:D but thats all afaik04:07
researcher123By what command line can I know my RAM on Ubuntu 13.04?04:08
wilee-nileewifi does not need admin in general anyway04:08
zykotick9researcher123: "free -m" is one way04:08
NeverHeremap i hate to ask the stupid question but is the wifi on, some computers let you disable the wifi with a keypress04:08
NeverHerex.x04:08
mapthere's no button on this laptop mate=[04:08

LicideWiiUwith usb: CBM in boot menu04:12
LicideWiiUtha?04:13
LicideWiiUthat?04:13
LicideWiiUoh CBM looks like it, i thought i did it alrady x04:15
lonejackzykotick9, wilee-nilee , for your interest with 'gnome-system-tools' you can manage the user privileges on a system04:18
wilee-nileeLicideWiiU, What you may not know is there is a boot from menu that is outside of the bios, I use it, it is a par-session boot, the bios splash will tell you the key prompt generally, mine is f12, That is the easiest way to try various boots.04:18
wilee-nileelonejack, I have never used a gui to manage these areas.04:21
TechTonicsdoes anyone know how to remove a package if it was installed from the tarball?04:25
NeverHereTechTonics, did you install it with Make?04:26
jpdsTechTonics: Yes, run make uninstall from the build directory.04:26
TechTonicsyes i used to make04:26
wilee-nileeTechTonics, Did you read the read me?04:27
mojtabaHi, could you please let me know what are the differences between different distros (except desktop environments like KDE, GNOME, UNITY, ...)? I mean why there is lots of distros?04:29
TechTonicsthere is no uninstall and the README has nothing to do with removing04:29
jpdsTechTonics: Just run "make uninstall".04:29
TechTonicsi'm trying to remove ruby 2.0 if that helps04:29
NeverHereTechTonics, sometimes you can do apt-get remove ruby04:30
jpdsTechTonics: You did run "make install" to install it.04:30
NeverHerethat might remove the package04:30
jpdsNeverHere: Package might not even be installed.04:30
patrick_wow my experience so far with my Lenovo T531 on Ubuntu 13.04 has been piss poor.04:30
mapmojtaba,  some you have to compile specifically for your machine which means its more complicated but also faster then04:30
mappatrick_,  wireless?04:30
TechTonicsjpds : yes i used make install04:30
patrick_nvidia happened to it.04:31

TechTonicsNeverHere : apt-get doesn't see i have installed04:31
patrick_Optimus. :(04:31
TechTonicsjpds : make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'.  Stop.04:31
NeverHereTechTonics, when you ran make install, did it tell you insuffiecent permissions?04:31
Berglemap: are programs you compile yourself really noticably faster than regular packaged ones?04:31
patrick_more like, Optimshit04:31
TechTonicsnope  .. had to use sudo04:31
jpdsmojtaba: Why are there a lot of distros? Because have different thoughts on how to do things.04:32
zykotick9TechTonics: using source tarballs, means there is no way other then what that tarball offers.  Why you might want to use "/msg ubottu checkinstall" for an alternative!04:32
NeverHereTechTonics, do nano MAKEFILE and search for something like uninstall or remove or similar then exit and do make <whatever>04:32

JeffATLi have jsut installed 12.04 on a gateway netbook with ati radeon and when i boot up i get a very scrambled screen; my mouse pointer is a yellow block about a half inch wide with some lines and dots in it.  if i manage to start e.g. firefox, the google page displays normally among all the mess but the text in the window title bar, tab, and the letters on the page to the right of the three round gray icons is messed up04:49
dr_willis!nomodeset04:49
ubottuA 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 parameter04:49

dr_willisJeffATL: at the grub menu04:53
dr_willisi think the url above shows how exactly.04:54

ubottuTo start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode04:57

dr_willisSilver_Arrow:  bash job controll basics. use &. or nohup. or screen ;-)05:40
dr_williscommand  &05:40
dr_willisor ctrl-z.   then 'bg'  for background05:41
loopedsorry, correction - if i change my named.conf.local to use zone "x.y.com" all other subdomains resolve using the external dns correctly, but the x.y.com subdomain fails to resolve.05:41
VioBytelooped, thats because you don't have the zone populated with what the authoritative dns has.05:43
loopedVioByte: i did create a zone file which has entries for x.y.com05:43
VioBytelooped, but no others.05:43
loopedthats right. so i guess my question is - how do i correctly set this up so that my local configuration is *only* used for the one subdomain05:44
JeffATLre the above ati link - i'm having trouble mapping lspci results to the choices there05:44
VioBytelooped, See the first DNS that says "HEY i manage that domains records" will respond to any and all requests for that domain. thus cached in your dns lookup tables05:44
JeffATLlspci says amd/ati RS690M [radeon Xpress 1200/1250/1270]05:45
VioBytelooped, But as for what your attempting todo "Control one subdomain of a domain managed by another dns" wont work.05:45
VioByteunless there's a trick i've not ran across yet.05:46
histoJeffATL: to the choices where?05:46
JeffATLhisto: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx05:46

histoJeffATL: http://askubuntu.com/questions/155352/problem-graphics-with-ati-radeon-x1270-rs690m-on-ubuntu-12-0405:47
VioBytelooped.. you could try to make a copy of the authority dns' records. but if they update there records.. your records would be out of date.05:48
loopedVioByte: well these are my own domains05:48
VioBytebut af for forwarding... not that i'm aware of.. If your dns managed that domain then it will not forward any failed lookups for that domain to another dns05:48
histoVioByte: why not use the other dns for secondary05:49
Ben66looped: you should just change the dns for real05:49
loopedbut i was hoping not to have too much duplications (the actual records are in route53). i basically *only* want two of my servers to contact an endpoint using a LAN05:49
histoVioByte: make his local one primary and ISPs secondary05:49
loopedBen66: i dont want to change it for all servers, just specific ones05:49
JeffATLhisto: i have done the nomodeset thing so i don't have a scrambled screen, but i'm stuck with 1024x768 resolution only (wrong aspect ratio for screen besides)05:50
Ben66looped: that makes no sense05:50
VioBytehisto: the first DNS that says "Hey i host the records" will respond and if the zone record does not exists, it will return not found.05:50
histoJeffATL: yes you need fglrx05:50
VioBytehisto: it will not fail over to the ISP05:50
loopedBen66: sorry, i should have said, i dont want all clients of the x.y.com host to see the change.05:50
VioBytehisto: since it already got a response from the first dns05:50

JeffATLracho - per http://askubuntu.com/questions/124292/what-is-the-correct-way-to-install-ati-catalyst-video-drivers-fglrx/286775#286775 , this is one of the cards that can no longer use the AMD catalyst drivers and has to use open source drivers08:33
JeffATLbut really, i need to give up and go to bed; this has become a nightmare08:34
rachoJeffATL, 13.04 does not support the default fglrx that come from the repos. there is the xorg-edgers ppa for this thing but i really advise not to go down this road08:34

rachothe best course is to the use the open source one08:34
JeffATLracho: but that sends me into either scrambled-screen land or, with nomodeset 1024x768 only08:35
rachoperformance is a little lower than catalyst (and power management is terrible at least in 3.8) but it will work and be stable08:35

ikoniaMordFustang: could you provide some context incase I am missing something08:40
rachoJeffATL, then boot the 12.04..go to another console (Ctral+Alt+F1-7) and remove the fgrlx packages08:40

rachoJeffATL, i can even suggest apt-get purge fglrx. reboot and let us see if you get your default screen res08:46

VyrlokarHello everybody. I'm trying to setup a Vostro 3750 laptop that runs an Intel/nVidia Optimus setup under Xubuntu. If I add nomodeset to the kernel boot parameters, the system boots, but I'm restricted to 1024x768 resolution (actual screen resolution is 1600x900) and external monitors are disabled. If I remove it, I get initial output on both the build in and the external monitor, but it freezes during boot. I've tried using drm_kms_09:18
VyrlokarBy the way, if booting into nomodeset, I can optirun glxspheres and get 5x the FPS compared to normal glxspheres, and the nVidia driver (-304) loads correctly (I do lsmod on a second terminal console to check it)09:18
rachosubu, one shot is to try and update your BIOS firmware if your BIOS manufacturer even has some updates...09:18
subuikonia: How to get past the APCI problem?09:18
ikoniasubu: I don't think it is an apci problem for you09:18

alexaI'm having trouble with sound volume. It used to work while ago. Then I switched to HDMI - it worked too. Now I'm back on VGA (for visual) and to "normal" sound output (not over HDMI anymore). The problem is, my sound is too low. I checked settings, it's not mutted. When I put headphones on, I hear very low music. Tried with different headphones too.  What shall I do?09:57
netahisto: can you write it again, i accidently refreshed the tab :P09:57

BluesKajmarianne, FWIW I bought an m-audio card and it took 10 days to track down a driver for it.12:09
cablopis it required for directories to have read and execute permissions for others?12:09
planetei want accelerate my laptop at start and mozilla firefox if it's possible12:10

MonkeyDustplanete  here are some tips I picked up in this channel https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4653463/ubuntu_speed.txt12:12
Yu-Yucablop: Is what able to access files with 770 permissions??12:12
SwedeMikecablop: man chmod12:12
davis776how to update to 12.04.3 from 04.2?12:12
marianneBluesKaj: Ok noob question.... do digital outputs need special speakers or cables?12:13
bazhangdavis776, thats a downgrade12:13
gordonjcpdavis776: that happens when you just do normal updates12:13
Yu-Yumarianne: Probably, digital ones?12:13
bazhangwhoops misread12:13
SwedeMikedavis776: just do apt-get dist-upgrade12:13
gordonjcpmarianne: it depends what you're trying to connect to what12:13
jhutchinscablop: A good rule regarding permissions:  If you don't know what they should be, accept the defaults.  If you think you should change permissions on system files you probably shouldn't.12:13
marianneYu-Yu: figures, but it might be an option12:14
mariannegordonjcp: I just want 5.1 speakers12:14
Yu-Yumarianne: Honestly, there can be HDMI, SPDIF, opt or any other digital output, dear.12:15
gordonjcpmarianne: so what you'd have then is an amp with a 5.1 digital input, and a corresponding cable to your sound card's digital output12:15
davis776gordonjcp, I do but right now there is nothing to update and it still says im on 04.212:15
jhutchinsmarianne: digital output can't go directly to a speaker or headphone, it needs to go to a digital decoder.  Some speaker systems use this, most don't.12:15
cablopjhutchins: the problem is the permissions are not the default... i rescued some files form an old disk, so all of they ended being 775 with my users and group there... i am setting up a file server, so i need to chage tose permissions12:15
Yu-Yumarianne: Probably, also, it won't work until you connect the whole pack of jacks to your card's output.12:15
jhutchinscablop: 1) Understand what the numbers mean, 2) Set permissions as appropriate for your tasks.12:16
cablopjhutchins: i know what tose numbers means... but i wonder one thing 770 will block "system" to access those files (something i saw happening in other os) and does root still have access to those files?12:17
classicchinsany macbook users here ?12:17
gordonjcpcablop: root has always got read and write access to everything12:17
classicchinsi need some help12:17
ActionParsnipclassicchins: probably a few12:17
gordonjcp!help | classicchins12:17
ubottuclassicchins: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience12:17
BluesKajmarianne, if the digital output is coaxial then you use regular rca analog type connection , if it's optical then you need a afibre optic cable connecter12:17
cablopgordonjcp, thanks... and about "system"?12:18
marianneSo, when it comes down to it, my best bet might be to look for speakers that support digital if I want to use the card, but just regular speakers for the on board?12:18
gordonjcpcablop: what do you mean "system"?12:18
marianneBluesKaj: it''s optical12:18
cablopthe operative system itself, in windows is there such concept, and you can even restrict access to a file to the system, i wonder what permissions the system in ubuntu uses12:19
BluesKajmarianne, is there an analog output (probly says "speakers" ) ?12:19
cablopgordonjcp:  the operative system itself, in windows is there such concept, and you can even restrict access to a file to the system, i wonder what permissions the system in ubuntu uses12:20
zoombinido all linux os's use the same kernel12:20
Yu-Yuzoombini: I guess Google helps better with that.12:20
gordonjcpcablop: I don't know anything about Windows, never used it12:20
marianneBluesKaj: yes, enough for a 5.1 set up on the on board and the card12:20
gordonjcpzoombini: no12:20
classicchinsmac users, please ping me12:20
foo2who should own the files inside the .gnupg folder?12:20
BluesKajzoombini, no they don't12:20
jhutchinscablop: In that sense, "system" is the same as "root".12:20
cablopzoombini: with a few different flags|options|modules enabled... yes12:20
MonkeyDustYu-Yu  read the !google factoid, please12:20
zoombiniso mint and ubuntu dont12:20
jhutchinscablop: Certain servers like apache run as apache, and therefore need user permissions to access a file.12:21
zoombinijust kernel.com only has like 4 kernels but not the one for mint12:21
cablopjhutchins: yep, here is www-data12:21
jhutchinsclassicchins: No one can help you unless you state the problem clearly.12:21
BluesKajmarianne, did you have the onboard sound working previous to buying the pci card ?12:21
Silver_Arrowthe kernels tend to be similar, and run the same programs if complied for that system12:22
marianneBluesKaj: entirely new build12:22
cablopjhutchins, gordonjcp, good to know that... that makes things easier... now i just need to design a file acces policy here12:22
gordonjcpcablop: you probably don't12:23
gordonjcpcablop: what exactly are you trying to do?12:23
marianneBluesKaj: kind of makes me frustrated as this is the only thing I don't have working likeI want it to... even managed to get Blu-rays up and running in VLC12:23
Yu-Yu;D12:23
BluesKajmarianne, so you haven't tried the onboard sound then ?12:23
jhutchins!tell cablop about sag12:23
marianneBluesKaj: the onboard is working, but would like to get the card working instead12:24

foo2can someone using gpg check the owner of the .gnupg directory for me?12:24
jhutchinscablop: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/sag/12:24
cablopgordonjcp: i am configuring a linux box as my home linux server, it is going to be a svn server (via apache), and files server... i rescued a lot of files from previos places and i want to place them in just one folder and define who and how can access them12:25
jhutchinsclassicchins: What does the system boot to by default?  Do you have a grub menu? What's on it?12:25
cablopjhutchins: thanks for that link12:26
gordonjcpcablop: how do you plan serving up the files?12:26
Silver_Arrowdefault is grub with 2 choices, the default boot, then one is a menu that lets you pick recoery modes and old kernels12:26
jhutchinsclassicchins: It's better to keep the discussions in-channel so other people can either contribute or benefit.12:26
Silver_Arrowif I remeber right, that is12:26
cablopgordonjcp: via samba12:26
classicchinsjhutchins: i need help with dual boot .. i have installed Kubuntu on mac , but once installation is finished, and i reboot the machine, i am not able to chose between OSX and Installed Kubuntu12:26
ActionParsnipclassicchins: which OS does it boot12:27
gordonjcpcablop: ah okay, I believe samba supports user access control lists12:30

caneMonkeyDust: oh alright, shorty.13:20
karab44and together with acceleration it creates reverse feedback.13:21

karab44anybody?13:22
marianneBluesKaj:ok, nothing13:22
karab44I mean problem is that maximum sensitivity gives less sensitivity than minimum sensitivity.13:22
=== flipper88_fl is now known as optical_nerve
karab44and setting the sensitivity is possible only by using acceleration slider13:23
karab44anybody have same issue?13:23

ezra-sanonee, so to check a process you are using a network too, what I wanted to see is the ps auxwww and/or top outputs, because chances are you are looking at that specific process with the wrong tool, seeing that it only tells me it is not filtering correctly13:24
BluesKajok , marianne , we need to undo the so called fix in /etc/rc.local , remove the lines that were added there , and save the file , otherwise your onboard audio won13:24
ezra-ss/too/tool13:24
BluesKajmarianne, otherwise your onboard audio won't work either13:24
marianneBluesKaj: thanks you for helping me...13:25
cablopkarab44: hmmm, i don't know about it... i just use the dafult and it is ok for me13:25
BluesKajmarianne, sorry i'm out of ideas and can't seem to find anything on the 'net that can help13:25
karab44Yes, mouse is moving but I want more precission13:25
BluesKajmarianne, perhaps an excjhange at your retailer is in order13:26
ezra-sanonee, I would bet the root process you are seeing is the same process that is running the tool itself13:26
karab44Currently I am testing second mouse and it seems to be the same issue13:26
marianneBluesKaj: that's what I'm thinking....13:26
karab44So sensitivity does not work at all13:27
Akishonahi! is someone here that worked or is working with shorewall+fail2ban?13:27
BluesKajMrAlexandro, there are other SB cards that work , I'm sure this is just an anomaly13:27
BluesKajoops marianne ^13:27
karab44only thing allows to control somehow is a combination between mouse sensitivity and acceleration.13:27
karab44can this be registered as a minor bug? I don't know was it fixed in later editions but on 12.04 Desktop it seems it is a minor bug.13:28
karab44Or I am a pro gamer or doing graphics so it could be crucial13:29
karab44I tested it on Logitech G5 and HP wireless G3T13:30
ezra-sanonee, I have ran the same tool for the heck of it and I am seeing the same process13:30
ezra-sthat tool is not too well developed13:30
ezra-sor maybe you haven't read it's documentation accordingly13:30

karab44is it possible to somehow make a daemon for that? holstein what about this vnc4server?13:54
newbie834hi 2 all13:54
holsteinkarab44: that?13:54
newbie834i would like to ask your help in the following issue: in ubuntu desktop the sleep mode hotkey on the keyboard works, in xubuntu it doesn't. where to find the problem?13:55
holsteinkarab44: anything is possible.. the issue is "good" is a matter of opinion and use case. you'll need to state *exactly* what your needs are, and a volunteer can help you better with a suggestion13:55
karab44holstein: yes, I know that I have to be more precisely but with my current state of knowledge about ubuntu is not always possible13:56
nhubbardok guys, I have a mdadm raid1 that hs lvm running on it. One of the drives has been removed and the system no longer boots. It loads grub, but never makes it past that. I've booted into rescue mode from the cd, but the raid array in inactive, and I'm not finding a way to get it back online in a degraded mode13:56
holsteinnewbie834: there is no "problem".. have you tried enabling that feature in the GUI? if there is an option "power button sleeps"?13:56
JamoBoxHey guys, wondering ig anyone could help me with an issue I'm having. After a force-shutdown the actual desktop doesn't seem to be running. All I have is a black screen (no ubuntu desktop in top left) and Unity panels on the side and top of screen.13:57
karab44I mean in windows family there is RPD builtin solution, that's why I am asking about some standard in ubuntu13:57
JamoBoxI have restarted a few times to see if it would help resolve it, but no luck13:57
holsteinkarab44: its all open, and literally anything is possible, in theory.. what do i suggest? teamviewer if you need remote through a firewall simply.. or, just try the defaults locally... vino vinagre..13:57
holsteinkarab44: you may use RDP in ubuntu13:57
JamoBoxIt's like whatever process is used to run the ubuntu desktop is not running13:58
holsteinkarab44: VNC *is* a standard.. assuming you want to do VNC13:58
karab44So isn't VNC and RDP acronyms?13:58
karab44*arn't13:58
newbie834holstein: no, i tried to find such an option in system preferences or power mgmt, but was not able to find it13:58

compdocvnc4server is great, but Ive been switching to x11rpd, which is better. unfortunately, isnt x11 going away in the future?14:00
holsteinnewbie834: one thing you might want to consider is, if you prefer the main ubuntu, you might want to use it.. if you are just coming to xubuntu, maybe just give your self some time with the specific tools.. what you are trying to do is possible, if the hardware supports it14:00
compdoc*x11rdp14:00
karab44so basicly I see that vino is installed in ubuntu by default, I don't really want to rubbish my system with many different tools that does same thing14:00
karab44If vino isn't enough Ill try this vnc4server and x11rdp14:01
newbie834holstein: it was working before the version upgrade, since it's 13.04 (?) it does not work anymore...14:01
karab44anyway compdoc holstein thank you very much.14:02
holsteinnewbie834: if ubuntu 12.04 and xubuntu 12.04 worked, and xubuntu 13.04 s not working, it could be hardware support related then..14:02
ezra-sanonee, forget network tools to verify processes, I ran the same tool and I do see that ? process too14:02
ezra-sit's like using nmap to diagnose a c++ issue14:02
JamoBoxany ideas on my desktop issue? what is the program that runs the ubuntu desktop called?14:02
holsteinnewbie834: dont assume that you can implement this feature (easily, at least) in 13.04.. consider using 12.04, or, keep looking around for someone with your specific hardware.. i like to try the terminal command and see if there is any helpful output there.. to make sure the option is possible14:03
holsteinJamoBox: you say "everything was fine til i forced power off" correct?14:03
JamoBoxYes, I should mention that the force power-off was due to the reason that it was stuck on a purple screen for around 20mins on startup14:04
JamoBoxafter that it booted up fine, but with this issue14:04
padhuUbuntians, any one using qgis? please gudie me to purchase good GPS marking device which should working with QGIS.14:04
holsteinJamoBox: that is *not* fine.. but, you must entertain what can happen with a force poweroff, and not assume this is a desktop issue14:05
MonkeyDustpadhu  how is that ubuntu related?14:05
newbie834holstein: yep, the problem rises here, that i'm a newbie user, as shows my nickname, so i guess the terminal command version will not work since unfortunately i don't know what to type in... :(14:05
holsteinJamoBox: if it were me, i would test the hardware a bit.. address why the machine 'froze".. i would look at testing the filesystem, ect14:05
padhuMonkeyDust: I am using in Ubuntu 12.04, that's why asking...;-)14:05
karab44okay I see that ubuntu has builtin vnc server, a bit hidden :). Why ubuntu is so shy? :)14:06
JamoBoxholstein: What you you mean by testing?14:06
holsteinnewbie834: http://askubuntu.com/questions/1792/how-can-i-suspend-hibernate-from-command-line are some options14:06
karab44what port should I open? Is it standard port for VNC?14:06
newbie834holstein: thanks, i shall start at the forum14:06
holsteinJamoBox: i mean, forcing power down, as i said, can damage the hard drive, or the filesystem.. so you test for that, since the desktop was (i am reading) fine before the force shutdown14:06
padhuMonkeyDust: I know that ubuntu-offtapic may be the right place, even though most ubuntu users are here :-)14:07
JamoBoxholstein: thanks, but how do I go about 'testing' it?14:07
JamoBoxnautilus seems to be working fine if that's what you mean14:07
holsteinJamoBox: then, i am misunderstanding you.. the way i read it, you cant get to a desktop.. are you are saying14:08
anoneeezra-s ummm if you say so... dunno I hope you're right, however, as I told you, ppl have screenshots and this process is not showing in their screenshots :( but I'll convince myself there's no problem...14:08
foo2anyone here uses seahorse?14:08
holsteinnautilus seems fine.. what *exactly* is the issue JamoBox ?14:08
JamoBoxalthough when launching from terminal, I get a "cannot open usershare directory" error14:09
holstein!fsck14:09
ubottufsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot14:09
karab44what about this X11 ssh forwarding? Does it have anything common with VNC?14:10
JamoBoxholstein: Allow me to describe in greater detail. The nunity bar and the top panel are present, xorg is fine and I'm not at a black terminal. The issue is, where the wallpapaer would normally be is black, there are no desktop icons, I cannot see any graphical drag selection when left MB dragging on desktop, and there is no right click dropdown on desktop14:10
holsteinkarab44: its not vnc.. that is what it says.. forwarding an application via ssh14:10
JamoBoxwhich is what led me to believe it's something to do with the desktop service14:10
JamoBoxUnity*14:11
=== caf4926 is now known as _caf4926
karab44Now I am confused14:12
holsteinJamoBox: sure.. but, you say this is due to a force shutdown.. so at some point, you should consider what that can do to your hardware.. what would i do? test as a new user or as the guest user.. if all is "fine" then the issue is likely in the user /home config..14:12
newbie834holstein: thanks, i could assign to the sleep key the "pmi action suspend" command, it works (Y)14:12
JamoBoxholstein: Thanks, I'll try that out.14:12
holsteinkarab44: if you want to forward an application, forwarding an applictaion over ssh will do that.. if you want to forward a desktop over vnc, vnc does that14:12
karab44So ubuntu offers me RDP, 143 VNC servers and X11 ssh forwarding. Which one is the best?14:12
holsteinnewbie834: then, the hardware is capable of sleep. you can do *many* things from this point, including just putting that command in a terminal14:13
JamoBoxholstein: I tested as a guest user and everything is fine there. No issues at all. What should I look for in my home folder to address this issue then?14:13
karab44give me a second... I have to get my thoughts together14:13
OerHekskarab44, choose a service that does not send your password in plain text ;-)14:13
holsteinkarab44: "best" is a matter of opinion and use case, friend.. which one suits your needs? all are free to try, including the commercial option i mentioned, teamviewer.. and also freenx14:14
newbie834holstein: i knew that my pc was able to sleep. :) my problem was only that this hotkey assignment has been lost. now it works :)14:14
holsteinJamoBox: you can try http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/how-to-reset-compiz-and-unity-in-ubuntu.html .. if you have no idea what to change, you can literally move *eveything* out of the user home.. and test.. i am talking about the hidden folders with .config in from of them14:15
=== amal is now known as CatMan

Aaruniok guys, this is kind of urgent. I have a macintosh and an ubuntu on a local network. I need to use one of the apps on macintosh. is it possible that I can use that application graphically via ubuntu? ssh, or something ? googling around didn't help.14:53
ikoniaAaruni: you can try X11 forwarding, but to be honest, you'll probably hit a wall depending on the app14:54
Yu-YuAaruni: ssh can passthru X connection.14:54
eSouloh I X11 forward all the time, makes things so much nicer14:54
thinknowwhy does the system say i have 3 active users when i only have me? " $ uptime14:55

Aaruniikonia, Yu-Yu : already tried ssh -x . gives me errors. I need to work on a presentation using keynote from iWork package, and I read something about using -x switch, but it says something like x forwarding failed14:55

ikoniaYu-Yu: pardon ?14:59
AarunieSoul: I want to use the mac app, but via my ubuntu machine. I know I can launch apps, but I don't know how to get a graphical display back on the ubuntu machine. Yu-Yu, I would love to share it, but I don't know where to look.14:59
AarunieSoul: you know how to ?14:59
Yu-Yuikonia: What pardons? You told it to Ampelbein, while meaning Aaruni.15:00
Yu-YuAaruni: Your ssh server config is…?15:01
AaruniYu-Yu: default, probably...15:01
jhutchinsAaruni: Is this a native osx app you're trying to forward?15:02

ikoniaYu-Yu: I see, thank you15:02
jhutchinsAaruni: I'm pretty sure you can't do that.15:02
ceqwow now the laptop doesnt even turn on anymore. nice.15:02
Yu-YuAaruni: I guess if you ssh to your Mac, then you run a server there. Not checking its config why ever you ask other people first?15:02
jhutchinsAaruni: Native apps expect a different display server instead of xorg.15:02
jhutchinsceq: Possibly your problems were actually hardware.15:03
Aarunijhutchins: but I can't even ssh -X into the macintosh15:03
Yu-Yuneta: Either you can disable, or you can boot securely via some signed media. There on ubuntu.com by UEFI some info I never tried.15:03
ceqwell windows worked fine.15:03

plokami666I would like to make a directory accessible by a few different users through ftp on ubuntu server 12.04. The owner of the directory has a valid shell through witch I'm running a couple different programs in screen so giving others access to that user is out of the question. Is it possible to make it so other users can upload to that directory and the main user can read/write from/to the files?16:35
Guest97029I cannt go out from Ubuntu))16:36
plokami666I don't have an ftp server installed yet btw.16:36
gordonjcpplokami666: don't install one16:36
gordonjcpftp is fundamentally stupid and broken16:36

zykotick9plokami666: ftp is terrible... consider a secure alternative.16:37
a7i3nssh is good16:37
newhiteIn Ubuntu 12.04, How do you investigate the devices  connected to the computer ?16:37
plokami666Well, I can use sftp then. But the question stands. How would I go about doing the above?16:37

karab44isn't NX actually the best technology for remote desktops?16:38
newhitestevanr thanks16:38
holsteinkarab44: "best" is a matter of opinion, and use case.. its best if you want that technology16:38
clue_hnewhite, but also you can inspect from the terminal with dmidecode16:38
jcgsnewhite: lspci in terminal as well16:38
holsteinkarab44: its not a remote desktop.. it forwards a destkop session, which might be preferred.. or not16:39
karab44holstein: vino is very slow and I can not login without existing session so in my opinion it is very best.16:39
karab44*not very best16:39
karab44hehe16:39
holsteinkarab44: its not the same technology.. so its not fair to compare16:39
newhitejcgs, thanks I just entered that and receive the list I am looking for.16:39
njuergenstgunr, you could try 'sudo chmod u+s /usr/bin/screen' however generally suid-root is considered to be a security risk16:40
jcgsnewhite: no worries :)16:40
tgunryeah, but ok as these are behind dmz16:40
tgunr tried that and get '/var/run/screen must be 755' but it is already 75516:41
jcgsHas anyone here had any luck running xen? I've installed it, but when I choose the hypervised kernel it gets most of the way through the boot process and then hangs before the login screen comes up. It won't even respond to crtl-alt-del at that stage, and I have to pull the plug :(16:41
karab44holstein: okay, never mind. Don't compare technologies. I have requirements, yes? I need to startup and login remotely my PC. It's good when screen is quite smooth but most important are like I mentioned.16:41

karab44jcgs: probably not, but how may I help you?16:43
njuergenstgunr, did you forget the '/' maybe? screen -x davec/16:44
karab44holstein: look what I found NX allows users to create new X11 sessions and forwards all X communication to the remote client.16:45
karab44 16:45
karab44VNC simply forwards what a logged in user sees on the desktop similar to how video would be transmitted.16:45

plokami666If I was to chown the dir under a group and give the proper perms to the group, wouldn't the users under it all have access to the files?16:52

XLVit should show in bios18:43

BluesKajJuJuBee, have you set your nameserver , default gateway, domain gateway etc in ,  /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base ? because it writes the /etc/resolv.conf file . which you need to connect18:51
ikoniaJuJuBee: that's to be either a proxy or a device further down the network redirecting you, as there is a re-write rule happening there, not just a wrong ip18:51
ikoniaJuJuBee: it's doing http->https - that's something doing a redirect18:52

OerHeksthurstylark, remote ip would be your (outside)IP from your ISP, lokal IP is your IP in your network 192.168.x.x19:24
OerHeksor 10.x.x.x19:24
thurstylarkholstein: I'm not quite understanding what each option asigns ips to what. I'm also confused as to what is local and what is remote.19:24
thurstylarkOerHeks: so, I would have to know my public IP?19:25
usr13green_geeky_dude: Me too.  BTW, I've use links, but not links2.  Is links2 also text only?19:25
holsteinthurstylark: you can google "whats my ip"19:25
holsteinthurstylark: you would need to know that, to connect back in.. and forward ports.. or, as i had setup, something like dyndns to forward a name to the ip19:25
Dr_Willislinks2 - Web browser running in both graphics and text mode19:25
green_geeky_dudeI haven't used links2 - but from what I just read YES it's the same just a few more bells and whistles19:25
OerHeksthurstylark, yes, as lokal ip is only available from within your network, but you can make it reachable by port forwarding.19:26

Dr_WillisYour HD is reporting some bad info it seems.19:36
Dr_WillisI wouldent be trusting that hard drive.19:36
ejvwell i know that part, but mdadm hasn't kicked the disk from the array19:36
ejvso is it an indicator of a bad port, flaky cable, bad connection19:36

joepfarley a false positive so I tried both of my ram sticks indivicually but the problem contiued. I've done fresh installs of Ubuntu 12.04 and it happens then. I experience the problem under Unity, Gnome, and XFCE. I tried the recently released Elementary OS with their desktop environment and the problem continues. I even swapped out the hard drive and did a fresh install on that but I keep having the problem. I'm at a complete loss as to where to21:10

joepfarleyI'm sorry. that was a single instance of me typing. I didn't realize it would show up so long. I just wanted a suggestion as to where to go.21:11
Dr_Willisjerome_:  some neat info  (not ubuntu specific) -> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg_multiseat21:11
Dr_WillisHow long did you run the memtest for jerome_ ?21:11
atrusjoepfarley: there's not much that would affect all of those the same way. maybe a plugin that they're all getting access to? flash maybe?21:12
mojtabaHi, I am new to linux. Could you please briefly let me know what are mir, wayland and x server?21:13
mojtabaWhat are these for?21:13
Dr_Willismojtaba:  they are the 'foundation' of the GUI.21:13

Dr_Willis!ask21:14
ubottuPlease don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience21:14
menoxzWell my question is the same as I said before21:15
Dr_Willisthres always the forums and askubuntu.com if no one in here knows.21:15
jerome_Ok, thank you for the answers, I'll watch it. You should know that I am French and I translated everything from google translation. it takes me more time ... Thanks21:16
mojtabaDr_Willis: Thanks, but do you know somewhere else which explains better and simpler?21:16
Dr_Willismojtaba:  which part?21:16
Dr_Willismir and wayland are replacements for the X server.21:16
Dr_Willisthats the core of it all.21:17
mojtabafor the mir and wayland.21:17
menoxzI'm trying to use Skype simultaneous with KSP, however I can only hear sound from one of them. If I answer on skype and then start KSP, only sound from skype. And vice versa21:17
Dr_Willismir is a Ubuntu/Canoical creation, because they diddnet like wayland.21:17

GH0Is there any way to fix this error to recover files that are on the drive? http://pastebin.com/ZehseZi5 I cloned the drive and then fsck'ed it with fsck -yft ext4 /path, however the original drive is completely browseable, after fsck'ing this cloned drive is completely unable to mount. Is there a good way to go about fixing the error in the pastebin?21:31
Dr_Williswhat command did you use to clone the drive?21:32
GH0Dr_Willis, I used "dd if=/dev/sdc of=/dev/sdf bs=4096 conv=notrunc,sync21:33
GH0"21:33
Dr_Willisif the original drive had read errors  - you might have wanted to use ddrescue21:34
Dr_Willisi tend to clone each partion into a file on a bigger hd. then try to recover from that file.21:34
GH0I had someone recommend me to use ddrescue, but, I am not very familiar with that command. Even the command he gave me had errors that wouldn't allow it to run properly.21:35
GH0Let me see if I still have it installed21:35
Dr_Willisone of ddrescues main features it it can (and you should use) a log file. so you can run it several times, and potentially recover bad  data from earlier attempts.21:36

hotmedal_how to I restart gnome when it gets stuck. No processes are using CPU, but it's completely unresponsive. All I have are the terminals.21:40
Dr_Willishotmedal_:  one way 'sudo service lightdm restart' to totally restart x.21:40
Dr_Willisbut that may be overkill21:40
hotmedal_Dr_Willis: can I do that from a different terminal than the one that is stuck. (I mean from ctrl+alt+F2)21:42
MonkeyDusthotmedal_  or try ctr-alt-t21:43
MonkeyDusthotmedal_  or try ctr-shift-t (correction)21:43

SubCooli know im not being comprehensable with that statement -= but its confusing. it was working until i updated my system.21:49
Dr_Willishotmedal_:  nukeing X would close out all the X session/apps and most lilkely go back to the login screen21:50
hotmedal_Dr_Willis: it's a little better than a reboot21:52
Dr_WillisIf X is truely locked up. it may be the only way21:53
r4d1xhey, I've been having a problem with seahorse-tool, after a reboot, I can encrypt a few files, then I get a warning from glib and nothing happens.21:56

OinsI i use "halt" or "shutdown -h" my PC does not switch off after shutdown, but if i use "shutdown -P" it works. Anyone a clue?21:59
=== DJ_Beardsquirt is now known as Bean
SubCoolDr_Willis, If anything could you help me figure out how to phrase the google i would need for it?- repeated dmesg entry? installation? -22:01
r4d1x.part22:02
lorundrik@ Oins, you tried "shutdown -h now"? not sure if the "now" natters22:02
daftykinsor -h 022:02
Dr_WillisSubCool:  you got some hardware error message or somthing flooding dmesg?22:03
Dr_WillisOins:  theres the 'poweroff' command also22:03
Oinsyes, "shutdown -h now" makes the shutdown and HDD and Fan is switching off, but the pc is running at the end (power led is on). with "shutdown -P now" the power led is off (and the pc).22:03
SubCoolyeah, the hardware device STMelectronics has installed like 200 times22:03
SubCooland now when i plug my iphone into my computer for power, it wont stop flashing the notifications section. it just keeps popping up and down.22:04
Oinssame with the "halt" command. only shutdown -P and poweroff works22:04
Oinsbtw. 12.04 LTS server Version22:04
lorundrikYe, hmm.22:05
LittleTHi !22:06
Oinsi mean, what's the different between halt and poweroff? I thought both are shutting down (completely) the system22:06
lorundrikyou could use this, "shutdown -h -P now"22:07
lorundrikthen it will halt and power off22:07
daftykinsor you could just choose the correct command first22:09
daftykins:>22:09
lorundrikor that :)22:09
Dr_WillisSubCool:  if you want to  hide hardware error mesages theres /etc/sysctl.conf that has some settings near the top.22:09
Dr_Willismy phones suck so much power. the usb port will barely keep them charged. ;)22:10
daftykinsyeah most use 1.2A+ chargers really22:10
SubCoolDr_Willis, well, i want to use the fingerprinter scanner, but it appears to be going nuts. Its STILL installing instances of it..22:10
Oinslorundrik: yes, but the problem is, that the most automatic scripts (like checkshutdown.sh, acpi/powerbtn.sh aso.) use the "shutdown -h ..." command. So I have to change all this scripts. And I fear, that after an update, I have to chance it again...22:11
Dr_Willishad a webcam on a laptop that was bad once. keept filling up dmesg logs with  finding/adding/so forth..22:11
daftykinsSubCool: i could probably bypass that thing with a piece of sellotape and the last drink glass you held22:11
Dr_Willisi couldent even use the console for the clutter22:11
SubCoolI think something is up with Kubuntu 13.0422:12
OinsAnd with my 9.xx Server version, it worked with the "shutdown -h" command :) I seems to be broken on 12.0422:12
wilee-nileeDr_willis you can turn a lot of the android off, or at least the autostart22:12

super8Hi there.22:22
daftykinshi22:22
super8When i check my computer details, the graphic card says unknown22:22
super8how can i fix it?22:22
wilee-nileeDr_willis Do you know a android irc that has a tab complete, or keyboard?22:23
Dr_Williswilee-nilee:  most of them ive tried do. andchat does - its what i use all the time.22:24
super8please help me22:24
Dr_Williswilee-nilee:  theres also a android-weechat thing that connects to an  existing weechat instance that i was testing last week.22:24
Dr_Willissuper8:  what does lspci say your video card is?22:24
TLoFP1How can I expand root partion without anyother boot media?22:24
super8Dr_Willis, 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)22:25
Dr_WillisTLoFP1:  you could always move some of the directoys on / to be on other partions and free up space on / that way. (thats not epanding / however)22:25
wilee-nileeCool im on yaaic right now, using the hackers keyboard, just not smart enough to find the tab22:25
TLoFP1Dr_Willis: I have no other partitions, whose filesystem Linux plays well with22:26
Dr_Williswilee-nilee:  i recall that keyboard having tab. or the phones 'search' button can work for tab/nick completion22:26
TLoFP1by well, I mean nativley22:26
Dr_WillisTLoFP1:  you are sort of stuck then. best way would be to backup your data. and try resizeing with gparted from a live cd/usb22:26
TLoFP1is there no way to schedule a resize for the next boot?22:26
killagatorhello?22:26
super8Dr_Willis, 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) this22:26

killagatorhi- how do i change admin in ubuntu 12.04lts?22:27
Dr_Williskillagator:  change it to what?22:27
super8Dr_Willis,  i checked on ubuntu forum, i did sudo apt-get install mesa-utils and then glxinfo | grep direct22:27
super8and i think it works.22:27
Dr_Willissuper8:  in my experience . with intel hardware. you dont really need to mess with any drivers - they are all included by default22:28
killagatorno, i have a user and i want to give him total admin rights22:28
killagatorhow to that please?22:28
super8but i still doubt that my graphic card is working well. while scrolling in a browser, its lagging.22:28
super8other than that, everything is working just fine.22:28
Dr_WillisUnless its a really new intel video card. Intel does have some  sort of driver-installer tool at some site.22:28
SubCoolOk- so - http://fcns.eu/2012/04/29/fingerprint-reader/ has helped me attempt usage. But- its own issues are preventing it from actual usage. WHY would this device continually re-(whatever) on dmesg.22:28
Dr_Williskillagator:  add them to the sudo group i belive.22:28
Dr_Williskillagator:  i bet askubuntu.com has details on how to do it for the differnt releases22:29
killagatoryes - how do i do that? i have been using ubuntu all but 2 days22:29
Dr_Willisthe users setting tool has a check box i belive is the easiest way22:29

Dr_Willisuser acoubnts -> change the account type to be admin22:30

wilee-nileeKillagator, when you make a user with user you can make them a admin, otherwise ad them to sudo with visudo22:30
super8but why its lagging while srolling in the browser22:30
killagatorand what code do i use exactly22:30
Dr_Willissuper8:  could be its a rather low end card.  or theres flash playing in the browser sucking down stuff22:30
wilee-nileeOr change as i see  now22:30
killagatori am currently in the admin acct but would like to add a user i set up yesterday as an admin22:30

arandurWhat is it that determines that my Ubuntu machineboots into tty7 automatically?23:01
romistrubI must be missing something...23:01
arandurRather, how does my machine know to boot into tty7 as opposed to tty1?23:02
daftykinsromistrub: "cd /etc/init.d" then hit d followed by tab, to see what's called dhcp in there23:02
green_geeky_dudeThe smurfs did it23:02
arandurAnd how do I change whatever setting that is?23:02
daftykinsromistrub: or "ls /etc/init.d/dhcp*"23:02
wilee-nileearandur, Why does it matter?23:02
arandurI would like to boot into tty1 automatically, without having to manually start my GUI on tty7.23:03
wilee-nileearandur, What is the end goal here, you would manually from tty1 as well23:03
romistrubdaftykins: no such file or directory23:03
arandurTo put it another way, I would like my GUI to start up automatically in teh background, on tty7, while I am deposited on tty1.23:03
romistrubI have a dhcpd.conf file open right now for editing... its location is /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf23:03
daftykinsromistrub: from which?23:04
arandurSo far, all my searching has shown me how to boot into tty1, but sacrificing the automatic GUI start.23:04
arandurI would not like to make that sacrifice.23:04
wilee-nileearandur, Never seen that option myself, probably possible, not sure why you would want that, and be sure to use nicks here.23:04
daftykinsarandur: why is pressing one keyboard combo such a hardship at boot?23:04
romistrubdaftykins: don't understand your question23:04
SubCoolok.. so- how do i disable the hardware device, there is no option for it in the bios23:05
arandurwille-nilee: Thanks; I forgot my irc manners.23:05
daftykinsromistrub: well i gave two things and you gave me an error message, i don't know which23:05
arandurdaftykins: It's not a hardship, but I was under the impression that Linux was build on the virtue of configurability.23:05
wilee-nileelol no biggie, tab complete does it best.23:05
arandurdaftykins: What are we, if we cannot optimize away keystrokes?23:05
romistrubsorry... for the ls/etc/init.d/dhcp*"23:05

wilee-nileeno prob arandur23:06
daftykinsi never have sympathy for laziness23:06
romistrubarandur: speaking of which, how do I switch to chrome by pressing "0" on my numberpad from any client?23:06
romistrubdaftykins: it's automation... it's what computers are built on...23:06
daftykinsi disagree23:07
arandurdaftykins: Shall I also compute logarithms by consulting the tables?23:07
romistrubdaftykins: have you heard the term "don't repeat yourself"?23:07
daftykinsthat's apples to oranges23:07
Flannelarandur: I don't have the new grub, so I'm not entirely sure how it works now, but you should be able to configure which tty is the default (it used to be in grub configs, I imagine it's similar now)23:07
arandurdaftykins: I don't mean to be rude, but I honestly don't understand the philosophy you're espousing. It is alien to my experience.23:07
romistrubit's not about being lazy, it's about automating repetitive tasks23:07
daftykinsofftopic chat in #ubuntu-offtopic thanks23:08
daftykinsarandur: perhaps you should move on23:08
arandurFlannel: It wasn't in /etc/default/grub; are there other grub configs?23:08

wilee-nileearandur, gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub  is where you modify grub, and run a grub-update then.23:09
daftykinsromistrub: is it dhcp3-server you installed? (for the second time)23:10
arandurwilee-nilee: Thanks, but there wasn't an option there to do what I'm looking for -- at least, not that I saw. I was able to boot to console, but I had to sacrifice the automatic GUI start.23:10
wilee-nileearandur, this line is your mod place GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="ipv6.disable=1 quiet splash"23:10
romistrubtried ls /etc/init.d/dhcp*23:10
wilee-nileethere is a text addition not sure the exact words arandur23:10
arandurwilee-nilee: The 'ipv6.disable=1' bit is new to me. I'll try that.23:10
romistrubdaftykins: isc-dhcp-server23:11
arandurwilee-nilee: Thank you for your help.23:11
wilee-nileearandur, Yeah I have no ipv6 so I stop at the door23:11
romistrubdaftykins: but the instructions listend dhcpd.conf as its config file, so I'm assuming it's intimately related to dhcpd23:11
daftykinsromistrub: run "dhcpd -t"23:12
daftykinsany output?23:12
daftykinsservice isc-dhcp-server restart23:12
romistrub[..] 4.1-ESV-R4 [..]23:13
romistrubdaftykins: see above23:13
FunkyELFdoes Ubuntu allow you to access your files from Android over the internet?23:13
daftykinsif ubuntu one has an android client, maybe23:13
daftykinsromistrub: amazing output!23:13
wilee-nileeFunkyELF, airdroid does with wireless23:14
romistrubdaftykins: ?23:14
daftykinsromistrub: anyway did the restart work?23:14
wilee-nileeFunkyELF, Using a brwoser23:14
romistrubnope23:14
daftykinswhat did it do...23:15
FunkyELFwilee-nilee: I'm not talking about Airdroid over the local network... I'm saying over the internet23:15
wilee-nileeFunkyELF, you can communicate with any computer over the internet.23:15
wilee-nileeif you know how23:16
romistrubdaftykins: absolutely nothing...23:16
daftykinsromistrub: pastebin23:16
romistrubdaftykins: which command? the -t?23:16
daftykinsboth that and the restart maybe23:17
FunkyELFwilee-nilee: I'm asking what Ubuntu offers out of the box23:17

tar__I dunno why I get connection to my router wifi but I don't get IP. When I run dhclient wlan0 It waits and does not get IP. I'm correctly associated with the AP. Any ideaS ?23:19
=== ecube_ is now known as ecube
daftykinstar__: does a static IP work? sounds like a driver issue23:20
tar__daftykins: no no dhcp is enabled in the router23:20
tar__with iwconfig wlan0 I see that I'm associated23:20
tar__but dhclient does not give me an IP23:20
daftykinstar__: no a static IP on the wireless interface of your computer ¬_¬23:21
tar__ah yes I tried too but nothing23:23
pelopopelopohello everybody! does anybody knows some program like S_CREEN for linux?23:23
pelopopelopoSCREEN23:23
pelopopeloposorry23:23
daftykinstar__: so it couldn't ping your router after setting a static IP? sounds like a driver problem for sure23:23
wilee-nileepelopopelopo, we have to assume what that word means. https://www.gnu.org/software/screen/23:24
wilee-nileemillions of apps, be specific23:24
wilee-nileepelopopelopo, here is a ubuntu link, is this what you want. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen23:26
pelopopeloposorry, yes, som eprograms like this https://www.gnu.org/software/screen/23:27
pelopopelopoi will be carefully next time23:27
wilee-nileecool, it appears from the ubuntu link a name change since jaunty is all23:27
lukasstrhay there, i've some question on booting stuff (think grub 2.x in efi). when i start my pc i get some selection where i can select what os i want to boot - i want to disable this dialog, cause i've just ubuntu installed and dont want to select anything. how to do this?23:28
delinquentmeUbuntu util for running visual diffs on .sql files?23:28
wilee-nileelukasstr, If you got that far with uefi I would consider yourself lucky. ;)23:29
lukasstrwilee-nilee: i've uefi-only in my bios, so it seems to work23:30
wilee-nileelukasstr, Might be some tweaks, but not many are up on it at all here, the ubuntu forums has a mod who answers any uefi thread that is pretty knowledgeable.23:30
wilee-nileemight be easier with just a uefi installation rather tah a uefi computer.23:32
wilee-nileethan23:32
daftykinslukasstr: what's prompting? GRUB?23:32
lukasstrdaftykins: ubuntu 13.4 and recovery23:33
daftykinsbut is it GRUB that's prompting for the OS choice?23:33
lukasstrthink so - in header there is Grub-2.......23:33
daftykinsmaybe you've just got a timeout value and no default set?23:34
lukasstrdont know what you mean by this23:34
lukasstrwant me to say* (sry for my english ;) )23:35
daftykinsyou might need to set a default OS and change the boot timeout to 0 to stop it asking you23:35
DonkeyHoteiwhy does precise have newer nvidia drivers than raring?23:36
wilee-nileeDonkeyHotei, What is the proof of that?23:36
DonkeyHoteii apt-cache search and get 313 on raring23:37
wilee-nileeDonkeyHotei, Is there a PPA involved here?23:37
DonkeyHoteii'm running 319 on precise, no ppa23:37
lukasstrdaftykins: yeah but the problem ist there is no /etc/default/grub ... and it seems to be a workaround. isn't it? can't i just disable grub and start the system without it?23:37
wilee-nileeDonkeyHotei, 319 is in a ppa23:38
DonkeyHotei *** 319.32-0ubuntu0.0.1 023:39
DonkeyHotei        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/restricted amd64 Packages23:39
wilee-nileeDonkeyHotei, run this in precise and pastebin the generated text grep -vr "^#" /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/}23:39
DonkeyHoteino ppa23:39
wilee-nileeDonkeyHotei, Or show the sources.list and sources.list.d links23:40
SubCoolok.. here is one guys.. i am trying to use dpkg --set-selections > - but it appears to fail.. idky23:40
DonkeyHoteiwhy can't you trust "apt-cache policy" ?23:40
kostkonwilee-nilee, http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise-updates/nvidia-319 no ppas23:40
wilee-nileeDonkeyHotei, Your not giving enough basic info.23:41
DonkeyHoteiyes i am23:41
DonkeyHoteithe output of apt-cache policy proves the download source23:41
wilee-nileeDonkeyHotei, okay if you think so not fir me to help ands trust what you say, best of luck. ;)23:41
DonkeyHoteiwilee-nilee: clearly you know nothing of debian/ubuntu packaging, so i can't be losing anything23:42
wilee-nileeDonkeyHotei, with a little research it appears to be in 12.04 and 13.10, nor sure why, and what you have to understand is that most people that will help have inaccurate info, and we have to research from the bottom up most of the time to get to an answer.23:46
wilee-nileewe help*23:47
SubCoolthere is no verbose option... for dpkg -- soo? anyone23:47
DonkeyHoteiwilee-nilee: the bottom up is "apt-cache policy"23:47
wilee-nileeDonkeyHotei, In one OS you are refrencing Two, and did not show the sources.list which many mess with.23:48
DonkeyHoteiwilee-nilee: irrelevant. try it yourself: apt-cache policy nvidia-319-updates23:49
wilee-nileeits not rocket science, but you have to knock pout varibles23:49
DonkeyHoteiyou knock out variables with apt-cache policy23:49
wilee-nileeDonkeyHotei, Heh, you just want to argue good luck with that and getting help here.23:49
SubCoolOk- let me correct myself.. - ANYTHING with dpkg --set-selections freezes...23:49
SubCoolim going to downgrade to 12.04- > im going to get that going now- but i need to backup my packsges.. so .. anyone please23:50
DonkeyHoteiall i wanted to know was whether 13.04 would be getting 319 as well or will stay at 31323:50
* wilee-nilee remembers isn't donkey the name for an ass.23:51
DonkeyHoteiif you choose not to learn something, no one else chooses it for you23:52
