[00:02] hi I have a new mitsai wireless keyboard, but some keys are not working, I am not sure if the problem is from the device since I can test in other system. Does anyone know if this is a common problem? [00:03] is there anyway to run a command to restore everything to default in 12.04? [00:03] default configs* [00:06] I am trying to allow my self to SePrintOperatorPrivalege but I keep on getting: [00:06] Could not connect to server localhost Connection failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED [00:06] I am using this command: [00:06] net -S localhost -U root rpc rights grant root SePrintOperatorPrivalege [00:07] any ideas? === onca is now known as Guest86894 === Guest86894 is now known as osolus [00:08] how many people are actually using ubuntu to connect to this chatroom pm me in privat [00:08] nomnom213: no need for pm's [00:08] nomnom213: no need for polls either [00:09] no one knows how to resolve this? NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED [00:09] LeinardoSmith_: well, no context, but that looks like a samba error, or an error from a windows AD domain [00:09] I am using this command: [00:09] net -S localhost -U root rpc rights grant root SePrintOperatorPrivalege [00:09] common with bad samba setup [00:10] because I am trying to use cupsaddsmb [00:10] but I keep on getting: WERR_ACCESS_DENIED [00:10] on the last step [00:10] I have a major problem, my new mediacenter pc only lets me plug in an extra monitor when windows is running, but if I use linux - no matter what driver I use - the system crashes whenever I try to use two monitors. [00:10] LeinardoSmith_: well, that looks like your local samba server is rejecting you, probably because there is no such thing as "root" user in samba, unless you set on up [00:11] ikonia I tried adding root using smbpasswd [00:11] LeinardoSmith_: I'd confirm your authentication is working first - then move onto tasks such as this [00:13] ok what would you suggest? [00:14] confirming your authentication is working, then trying to do things such as set roles [00:14] Hi, Does anybody here know how can I scan with mfc-j435w in ubuntu? [00:14] getting "access denied" suggests your basic auth is failing [00:14] Ubuntu's default zip/rar manager seems really crappy. Is there any of them that have a better interface? [00:14] confirm thats working first [00:15] ok how would I do that? [00:15] smbclient perhaps [00:15] could we move this to pm? (as I think it might take a little while) [00:15] sorry no, I'm about to leave. [00:15] ok could you walk me through [00:15] how to hide my ip here? [00:16] Ljube: ask in #freenode [00:16] LeinardoSmith_: man smbclient [00:16] LeinardoSmith_: look for the auth options and run some basic connection queries to prove authentication works [00:21] hi, which nvidia driver should I use for Ubuntu 12.04 ? [00:22] which version I mean [00:23] hi [00:23] im here to start shit [00:24] no wait wrong window [00:26] ikonia: are you still there? [00:30] now I am getting: Failed to grant privileges for root (NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_PRIVILEGE) [00:30] when I run: sudo net -S localhost -U root rpc rights grant root SePrintOperatorPrivalege [00:32] anybody? [00:36] Just installed as a dual-boot with Windows 8, however, there isn't an entry in boot menu to launch Ubuntu instead of Windows. [00:49] hi, i install ubuntu 12.04 x64 along with win 7 home premium., i check my hard drive and i have two new partitions (before i only have 2), so ubuntu is installed, but now does not showme grub menu, any ideas? [00:49] skegeek: which boot menu> You mean in GRUB? [00:50] yes, goes directly in windows [00:50] skegeek: or did you do a WUBI install and are using the windows boot thing? [00:50] !fixgrub [00:50] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [00:50] the boot-repair tool from a live cd - is the easy way to fix most grub issues [01:03] No, Windows boot menu. [01:04] I didn't over-write incase something went wrong, which has happened before. [01:06] the windows boot menu cant boot ubuntu as far as i know. it can do wubi. [01:06] you could install grub to a usb flash drive and use that to boot the ubuntu install i guess if you ar really worried about it [01:06] It has to be possible. [01:07] I dont see why it would be worth the effort. unless it can be set to chainload the grub from a ubuntu partition [01:08] hi, how can i cleanly unmount an external harddisk. i mean, it is unmounted (software) but it is still spinning. [01:09] if its unmountd you can unplug it. [01:10] i recall there being 2 ways that th gui 'eject.unmounts' external media. one actually disconnects/powers off the device. to remount it - you must unplug/plug it back in. other way (the normal way) just unmounts the filesystem [01:10] it is still spinning as if it were working [01:10] also i got error about mounting unchecked fs and so [01:11] what filesystem is on the device? [01:11] so i'm a bit unconfortable with unplugging it [01:11] ext2 [01:11] man sdparm [01:11] if its Unmounted. then the system no longer can write to it. now it MAY be trying to do a final sync as part of the unmounting [01:11] sorry [01:12] check 'dmesg' output to see if theres any error messages about the drive perhaps. [01:12] all nice [01:13] does mount say its unmounted? [01:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6049683/ [01:13] yes [01:13] mount [01:13] nothing about my external hdd is there [01:14] also ftab does not mention it [01:14] your warning was given when you tried to mount sdc2 [01:14] fstab dosent need to mention it. ;) if Mount says its not mounted then it should be safe to remove [01:14] i think so - don't know when it exactly came up [01:14] the strang thing is: i am sure that sometimes the hdd comes to halt [01:14] you should proberly be fscking sdc2 some time soon. [01:14] wehn i unmount [01:15] usb drives power down when not used in many cases [01:15] yeah, did that just now [01:15] mine actually can spin down while mounted.. so they have to spin up befor i can access them [01:16] https://answers.launchpad.net/ejecter/+question/63177 [01:16] Dr_Willis: see what growningneeds said in there ^ [01:16] Right-clicking an external USB HDD and selecting unmount still resulted in a spinning HDD with LED lights on. What I do now (in a terminal) is this: [01:17] 1. umount /dev/sdb1 [01:17] 2. sudo sdparm --command=sync /dev/sdb1 [01:17] 3. sudo sdparm --command=stop / dev/sdb1 [01:17] i just UNMOUNT my external usb hds and pull them out [01:17] i dont see the need for the rest of those commands [01:18] well, usally that's what i do too - but the hdd is spinning as if it were under load [01:18] that's why i hesitate [01:18] also it's my backup hdd [01:18] :P [01:19] if you unmount and 'disconnect/power down' the hd using those commands.. then you will have to physically unplug/plug it back in (or reuse the commands) to remount it i imagine. the kernel wont be seeng the drive. [01:19] http://askubuntu.com/questions/56270/how-can-i-spin-down-external-hard-drive [01:19] ive definatly seen people 'unmount' usb devices then gparted wont see them, because they have also been disconnected from the system [01:20] mine spin down automatically :) [01:20] mine do too... sometimes [01:20] i can't tell what it depends on [01:21] the bios/firmware of the drive controller [01:21] my old hds dont.. new ones all do it here. [01:22] hm, mine was bought before summer 2008 [01:22] udisks --detach /dev/sdb [01:22] that spinned it down [01:24] now see if 'sudo blkid' or 'sudo fdisk -l' shows it [01:26] neither of them shows it [01:26] * gimmenick reconnects physically [01:26] now both of your commands show the ext. hdd [01:28] so IF you wanted to unmount and repartion the drive/resize the filesystms or fsck them.. thenyou dont want to 'detatch' the disk ;) [01:28] Ive seen people have that issue where they unmount/eject (or whatever the file manager said) and it actually detatched the disk. so they couldent work on them [01:29] they unplug/plug it back in.. it would remount.. they unmount. cant find the disk. ;) it was a endless loop. [01:29] Had to tell them to use the unmount command of the shell so they could repartion the hd. [01:30] Ive noticed in teh past that sometimes nautilus would have a 'unmount' and 'eject' on some devices. Im guessing eject some how detatched/powered down the device [01:31] Hmm. On 13.10 i notice i got a 'Unmount' and 'Format...' 'remove and rename' are greyed out, [01:32] wonder how often a normal user would need a 'format...' item like that [01:32] Dr_Willis: it's not about the formating for me [01:32] Dr_Willis: i am worried about "hardstopping" a hdd [01:32] hi, i have win 7 home primium and installed ubuntu 12.10 x64 in my hard drive, now i have 4 partitions , but my system boots direcltly into windows 7, if have bios set to legacy, system bots but not into grub2, i follow the steps in !grub2 topic but when i try to sudo install-grub /dev/sda the system said error can not boot because grub can not read /boot/grub deal, any ideas or any program [01:32] can help me to, the boot-rescue iso does not boot here, thanks [01:32] its just somthing to watch out for if you ever do need to unmount somthing to fsck, or format, or repartion it. [01:33] Dr_Willis: ok [01:33] ese: if you can boot a ubuntu live cd., you can install the boot-repair tool onto it and use that [01:33] Dr_Willis: i have eject too, but it didn't do anything [01:33] gimmenick: so your USB hd has eject and unmount? [01:34] is this a usb flash or usb hd? see if tey all have the same items. [01:34] Dr_Willis: yes. but ejecting doesn't really do anything, when the hdd is unmounted [01:34] eject - on an optical drive - will open the tray [01:35] had a guy convinced once that it would also send his usb flash drive across the room.. told him to be ready to catch it.... ;) [01:35] :P [01:35] i wonder if the differnt menu items also depend on if its mounted via the fstab. or auto-mounted vya the gvfs stuff [01:36] hm [01:36] maybe it is related to that [01:36] daftykins: ftp goes at 100 MB/s [01:36] elso when i change to uefi in bios the grub from my usb boot device goes into text mode and showme a lot more options but none is the rescue mode, if i go to prompt and type rescue grub said can not find that, any ways if i go legacy in bios the usb shoiwme 4 options, try ubuntu, install, memtest and boot into hd, no rescue, ...thank you [01:37] so its only SFTP and SMB that is soo slow.. [01:37] i mean after all: if i mount it, its more of a gvfs thing [01:37] i think my problem is ubuntu installs in uefi mode by default, is there a way i can install in legacy mode? [01:38] since windows is in lagacy mode too [01:38] Dr_Willis: i think there is a way to see what files and such is currently "open" [01:39] somthing with stat in it [01:39] it's not in my bash_history any more :( [01:41] holy smokes [01:41] socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY [01:41] fixed my samba issue [01:41] wee [01:41] wiak: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:41] Nupercanal stop sending me hated priv messages dude, i dont care if you dont like black people, stop! [01:42] make me ese [01:42] ese ever heard about /ignore ? [01:42] :P [01:42] wiak: actually, we'd prefer it if you guys report it in #ubuntu-ops, so we can just deal with it instead of making 1600 people use ignore. [01:43] Flannel: aah got a point there [01:43] (this one was already taken care of, but in the future...) [01:43] will do ;) [01:43] Dr_Willis: ok. udisks works with --detach but not with --eject [01:43] Flannel: fixed my samba issue btw =) [01:43] Dr_Willis: anyway. i will remeber that i have to pyhsically reconnect if i want to use the hdd later again. thank you [01:45] Well, it's been about fifteen years since I set eyes on IRC. It's amazing that there are still so many people who gather here to talk. [01:46] Greg__: well, i'm good at writing bots :P - the best ones make it to #ubuntu-offtopic and talk non-sense :D [01:47] usually i let them pic old bug reports and then they narrate the comments so it looks like a discussion [01:47] on dev level :D === KM0201_ is now known as KM0201 [01:49] hi, is there a way i can force install ubuntu 112.10 x64 install in legacy mode [01:49] That is actually really funny. I imagine IRC channels are pretty tight-knit communities, I'm sure just by posting this message I'm breaking ten rules of IRC etiquite, [01:49] ese: try the altenative disc [01:49] Greg__: well, this is ot. please visit #ubuntu-offtopic ;) [01:50] can anyone tell me what the menu application name is for LXDE? [01:51] i want to make chromium always incognito, but doing the --incognito to the shortcut doesnt remain, so im guessing only root has access to change the menu shortcuts [01:51] ese: legacy mode is 32 bit mode with a 64 bit OS? [01:52] SixtyFold, This ought to get you what you need is my guess, http://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXDE:Questions [01:53] wilee-nilee -thanks [01:53] no prob hopefully thatus it. [01:53] is* [01:55] does anyone know why the vidoes on youtube is buffering so much on ubuntu 13.04? [01:55] wiak alternative disk? is in ubuntu repository? [01:55] or any flash videos forthat matter on Linux [01:55] wow @ game on atm ... not really paying attention to chat atm [01:55] vp18, are you using chromium-browser? [01:56] google chrome [01:56] right [01:56] idk then, you have the most current version of flash, linux and flash dont always get along [01:56] i have no issues with youtube in lubuntu though *shrugs* [01:57] so so should i uninstall the flash plugin [01:57] what version of ubuntu is it and did you try firefox? [01:58] uninstalling and reinstalling to fix things is sort of a 'windows mindset' [01:58] google-chrome does have its own built in flash however - that may workbetter [01:58] wiak can you or someone point me to the "alternative disk" in http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs-Ubuntu/ ? [01:58] im using firefox with youtube with the old flash in lubuntu and youtube is running perfect [01:58] ubuntu 13.04 and i got google chrome [01:58] so, that might be something you want to try, it's up to you [01:59] i mean, trying firefox with old flash, not having to switch to lubuntu, haha [02:00] but other sites with flash ive been using chromium current edition with it's built in flash and it runs fine too, havent tried youtube in that [02:01] vp18 - also, what are your specs out of curiousity? [02:01] on my laptop? [02:02] hardware wise, yes [02:02] vp18: chrome using it's own flash... try in a different browser. [02:02] AMD A6 Quad core processor [02:02] could someone help me set up cups to serve drivers to windows? [02:02] A6 has integrated graphics right? [02:02] i think yes [02:03] yah, i might be talking out my ass, so someone call me on it, but i believe that could be a glitch too [02:03] amd cards dont work the best with linux === satellit is now known as satellit_TS [02:03] but i had this for over a year no problem [02:04] when did you start having issues with flash? [02:05] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04.3/release/ ese [02:05] i went through like 5 distros and multiple derivatives before i got an acer with an amd c-60 and amd 6250 dedicated graphics card netbook working with linux and youtube without constant glitching and stutters, *shrugs* [02:05] just now [02:05] i even uninstall the plugin [02:06] s [02:06] maybe i need to try chronium [02:06] chromium is chrome for linux [02:06] youre using it already [02:06] no just pure google chrome [02:06] je parle francais [02:06] how are you doing that?

[02:07] google.com [02:07] yah, try chromium man or firefox with the old 11.2 flash, should work, idk why it wouldnt [02:07] they have chrome for linux [02:07] SixtyFold: chromium is NOT chrome, they are different. [02:07] !info google-chrome | vp18 [02:07] vp18: Package google-chrome does not exist in raring [02:07] just sudo apt-get install chromium-browser then [02:07] and try that [02:08] im already downloading [02:08] zykotick9 - i thought chromium was the only google browser available for linux, i thought chrome was just for mac/windows, my bad [02:08] chrome is chromium with flash built in and google branding [02:08] chromium is the open source version of chrome yah? [02:08] if i am not mistaken [02:08] SixtyFold: yes. [02:08] other google added stuff too i am sure [02:09] yeah [02:09] hi, is there a way i can force ubuntu 12.10 x64 to install in legacy mode? [02:09] xmetal: hows your e17 working out for you? [02:09] since i (i am not going on a rant about that) dont use anything google now, if i was going to use one (I dont like either, but thats my opinion) ... i'd go with Chromium [02:10] basically because that is what Google Chrome is based on anyway .. and its open source (lol ... i think) [02:11] ese: whats your issue exactly? [02:11] ese: what is "legacy mode", if you mean 32bit - the answer is no. [02:11] just fine :) .. never heard of it before you mentioned it ... i go from DE to DE ... basically trying them all out [02:11] n931732 go away [02:12] xmetal: try using the tab for nick autofill [02:12] ummm refur1975 go away.. [02:12] I dated a guy named ubuntu once. He was black as the night and used to "play the bongos" on my ass. [02:12] I dated a guy named ubuntu once. He was black as the night and used to "play the bongos" on my ass. [02:13] hanasaki: you can report spammer in #ubuntu-ops [02:13] what would cause thunderbird to just show the account names but not the folders? if I make a new profile and setup the account again it is fine [02:14] something "wrong" with the profile folder ? [02:14] (where the mail is locally stored) [02:14] what's e17? [02:14] SixtyFold, a desktop [02:14] xmetal: all the perms aer fine [02:14] !info e17 | SixtyFold [02:14] SixtyFold: e17 (source: e17): Enlightenment DR17 Window Manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.16.999.70492-2 (raring), package size 2455 kB, installed size 6280 kB [02:14] (just a guess) [02:14] sorry for the fragmented posts too, lol [02:14] is it lighter weight than LXDE? [02:14] lotuspsychje: thanks [02:14] SixtyFold, naah [02:14] SixtyFold: remember oldskool enlightment? [02:14] hanasaki, The info was in >config [02:15] .config [02:15] lotus - naw, never seen that one before [02:15] will have to give it a try though, see what it's like [02:15] i wanted to try lxde ande e17 on my old laptop but i am having issues [02:15] wilee-nilee: huh? [02:15] (think the laptop's hardware is dying) [02:15] SixtyFold: you should try it, i think lubuntu remains the lightest one [02:15] kostkon: i'd think e17 and lxde would be "close" in resource usage... [02:15] i think those two DE's would do good on that system [02:16] hanasaki, Thought was worng sorry [02:16] Hi there. How do i backup every setting in ubnutu 12.04 without backing up any personal files just in case i mess up anything and may not be able to boot anymore or correct a setting? [02:16] wilee-nilee: what is in config?> [02:16] zykotick9, i think lxde is lighter, with less graphical effects. i think now e17 is opengl based or smthing. at least it uses a lot of compositing [02:17] since #rtorrent is dead.. what happens if I delete a rtorrent session file? [02:17] i have to use a crt with it since the LCD lamp is out (not worth fixing that on a "2001/2002" laptop, in my opinion) ... and even just booting the liveUSB, everything seems to be starting fine and then the CRT goes out and doesn't come back on [02:17] hayer: try transmission aswell, pretty neat package [02:17] i mean booting up ... its like it shuts off and stays "off" .. the CRT itself is fine [02:17] lotuspsychje: no. im using rtorrent + rutorrent [02:17] no lose cables either [02:18] kostkon: e17 is actually very light... i've only used it myself in it's 16.999 version (almost 17) but it's very light actually (i'd find opengl/composting hard to believe actually - i found it too buggy at the time) [02:18] my newer laptops is fine with almost all of the DE's (it doesn't 'need" e17 .. but i do like E17, myself) [02:19] zykotick9, right, i believe you. youve actually tried it, unlike myself, so yeah :D [02:19] hanasaki, It's .config in home unhide the folders and take a look it is many setups for your regular and added apps. [02:19] for recent computers E17 will run fine with low resources [02:20] wilee-nilee: thanks... nothing on thunderbird there [02:20] hanasaki, Yeah I saw that I thought there would be. [02:21] its all in the .thunderbird folder [02:24] wilee-nilee: looks like the easy way is to make a new profile and setup all the accounts again :( [02:25] hanasaki, were you setting up an encrypt? [02:25] wilee-nilee: nope why/ [02:26] kostkon: FYI i see "!info e17" shows ubuntu is using the 16.999 version of e17 (ie NOT the e17 final) [02:26] hanasaki, JUst thought that might have been a cause, just a guess, someone was on earlier doing that. [02:27] zykotick9, true. e17 (0.16.999.70492-2) [02:34] kostkon: well, i tried e17 0.17.3, it was a 30MB download! BUT, it's segfaulting in my VM (possibly due to lack of 3d support? which this VM doesn't have. or perhaps because it's still buggy ;) but i can't verify if it needs 3d or not... [02:36] zykotick9, it could be. i still think it requires opengl capable graphics drivers :P [02:36] kostkon: by way of comparison, lxde is a 270MB download! [02:36] zykotick9, hmm weird [02:36] kostkon: e17 is CRAZY light man... [02:36] zykotick9, lol [02:38] looking for some cute gay geek under 18 [02:38] to cum in his face [02:38] I rember back ages ago when E was heavy. ;) but that was when a Pent 100 was high end. ;P [02:38] pm me if interested [02:39] Dr_Willis: true :p [02:40] Any one that can help me with LibreOffice Writer macros? [02:40] i remember when i thought @500mhz was blazing fast [02:40] how times change [02:43] zykotick9, hmm 270 v 30. it's a lot. dont know where is coming from. maybe because lubuntu-desktop has a long list of deps. however, just the lxde package alone depends on much fewer packages. [02:43] kostkon: that 270 is just the lxde package(s) ;) it's ALMOST finished installing. [02:43] tim, Just tell the channel the problem for help. ;) [02:44] zykotick9, oh ok [02:45] xmetal; now I think my 2.7ghz Dual Core is slow, lol. [02:45] hello [02:47] algum brasileiro por ai?

[03:01] kostkon: lxde ends up pulling in, quite a bit of gnome (i guess understandably), which explains it's MUCH larger size than e17. BUT... e17 failed on my VM, lxde works OOTB! so my scorecard: e17 = 0 vs lxde = 1 (there is a clear winner from where i sit ;) thanks for reminding me that e17 exists, and that it's still isn't up to "my" quality standards ;) [i enjoyed the "test" though :) ] [03:01] zykotick9, :) [03:01] I'm trying to figure out why I can't download boot-repair to a linux livecd.

[03:21] i agree with wilee-nilee [03:21] when i start the laptop it get hanged after about 20 min then i have to unplug [03:21] i did it now about 3 times [03:21] when is it hanging?

[03:57] zerocom, you sure it's the ports? usb sticks do fail ... [03:58] the usb pendrives and discs are ok, the ports are ok too because I tested with other OS. when I said ports I wish to say the problem is in ubuntu. sorry [04:01] zerocom, what's the behavior that makes you suspicious. details ... [04:03] grahamsavage, did your issue ever get resolved? [04:03] cfhowlett, perhaps you know? [04:03] ok, sometimes when I connect pendrives or my external discs nothing happens. Then I try again and again. [04:04] is an intermittent behaviour [04:05] I have usbmount installed [04:06] zerocom, you install that due to problem? [04:07] yes, reading a tutorial in the web, but I know its doesn't work becausa before install the problem was the same [04:07] zerocom, Any fat or ntfs partitions that may need a chkdsk? [04:09] zerocom: the next time that "stuff" happens, open a terminal, and type "dmesg" it'll scroll a lot of stuff past you, but read the end stuff (that you can still see). look for stuff dealing with sdXY. when you unplug/replug the USB, try running dmesg in between and looking for changes (on that same last screen, that you can actually see when you run dmesg ;) [04:09] exi [04:12] zykotick9, I tried that, but don't remember the results, I will try again.

[04:16] zerocom, if those are MS formatted partitions I would consider checking them in computer with a right click or running a chkdfsk /f/r on them [04:16] chkdsk /f/r that is [04:16] conathan: not all packages are multiarch capable... some do conflict... good luck. [04:17] ah. [04:19] * zykotick9 is re-ignoring wilee-nilee, because he supports non-free software on a regular bases... [OPs: i know annoucing ignores is frowned upon, it's only because i annouced the unignore, that i'm doing this] [04:19] zykotick9: I think the lucked helped, been working on this half the day, and just realized why it's conflicting.

[05:40] Dr_Willis, in official repos it is 1.6 and current version is 1.8 so i was trying to get 1.8 version. [05:41] then you would want to find a PPA. [05:41] what i wanted to ask is, if multiple DE are installed they will interfere with each other and offer obstacles in proper functioning ? [05:41] pero: i thought when you went to the gmail site it should just ask to enable the webapp thing. but i really find the whole webapp 'feature' a bit useless [05:42] no it doesn't do that - i'm using chromium and on 13.10 [05:42] xtriz, I remember that thread that took awhile to get them cleaned up took a chroot. ;) [05:42] I thought webapps only worked with firefox. [05:42] but i could be wrong [05:42] i'm finding my tabs a little cluttered these days so I wouldn't mind leaving trying it out in the unity panel [05:42] no [05:43] it's supposed to be chromium and firefox [05:43] i have installed using the ppa, everything works, but only issue i am facing is slight lag, when i drag my windows it get's bit blurred during the motion . [05:43] my unity panel is to cluttered. ;) [05:43] i run Linux Mint with a number of DE's and they do not "harm" each other [05:44] xmetal, they work absolutely fine without any prob ? [05:44] xmetal: ive definatly seen people break things by trying some de's :) that dont like others.. like trying to put gnome2 on with gnome3 and so forth. ;) [05:44] xtriz: there may be some effects settigns you can disable. [05:44] because right now i have xfce, unity, cinnamon and elementary :P [05:44] well 2 versions of the same DE in a sence [05:44] i could see issues then [05:44] try getting gnome2 going with gnome-shell ;) and you will see pain. [05:45] i have mate, Cinn, xfce, lxde, e17 (enlightenmint) all behave fine [05:46] I just use bash shell and links. I need to upgrade to this decade. [05:46] May someone help me?How to solve the problem "warning: ft_render: skipping missing glyph for character"? [05:47] i have noticed that cinn in mint 15 in lagging though in 14 on the same machine it was fine [05:48] i think cin 1.8 (for mint 15) and cinn 1.6 (??) for mint 14 [05:48] xmetal, yeah correct [05:49] i am not sayings its impossible .. but if you stick with the repos ... you should be ok (as in not having DE's conflict) [05:49] i have not experienced any issues with having "too many DE's" [05:50] xmetal, good :) [05:50] so i can move forward experimenting things. [05:53] ages and ages ago.. if you had kde and gnome both installed. :) it could cause weirdness.. but i havent really seen any issues with differnt de's in well.. years [05:53] in mint i even downloaded (i think i have the name right) "ubuntu-desktop" (I am sure this means Unity with a few extras) [05:53] !info ubuntu-desktop [05:53] ubuntu-desktop (source: ubuntu-meta): The Ubuntu desktop system. In component main, is optional.

[05:56] I went from here to Gentoo once. [05:56] Tis a silly place. [05:57] Arch is nice, but I always come back to Ubuntu [05:57] I dont have much need for the other disrtos on my PC. now on my Pi. I play with some of the differnt ones. [05:57] but they tend to be more specilized [05:58] I actually want about 3-6 Pis because I want to play with VMs [05:58] ah not as bad as slackware (I love slackware but its a pain at times) ... have to install 100 dependencies from the tarballs, mannually [05:58] then you end up forgetting the INTIAL program you were trying to install in the first place [05:58] lol [05:59] Yea, I had the same problem with Gentoo. Spent 4 hours trying to set the correct use flags to get the dependencies for Firefox [05:59] Then forgot what I was trying to install... When went to go try to google how to do something and was like "Oh yea. Need a browser" [06:00] i mean I (before version 14) last use mint when @ Ubuntu 9.04 was out ...and wanted to try Mint again .. If i was on high speed and/or had more pc's (to try it on) .. I'd get the newest ubuntu [06:00] i think the two are so similar though [06:00] i like trying new distros (just to see what they are like) [06:00] :) [06:00] i dont see much point in Mint. Some of their projects are finally making it into the default ubuntu repos however. [06:02] either or [06:03] i know i get grief for mentioning mint in here sometimes, but they are so alike i think, that many of the issues a user may have (say with a DE) would apply to either Idstro [06:03] ack [06:03] distro * [06:03] back when i tried mint (version number ???? ) when Ubuntu 9.04 was new ... they looked 100% alike to me [06:03] ( i am sure there may have been suttle diffewrences though) [06:04] -w [06:04] dang fingers this time of night [06:06] 2am here. cant sleep.

[08:12] I just created a text file with cat and I deleted it successfully [08:13] ntzrmtthihu777: You're basically doing eval, which is frowned apon for many reasons. I would highly recommend rewriting the script without using sh -c. [08:13] i c [08:13] that script is a train wreak [08:13] whats the goal [08:13] okay, i'll look into it. thanks [08:13] and ill tell uhowto get there [08:13] Would someone mind msging me in private to walk me thru installing a package? [08:13] republican_devil: I've told you the goal, thrice now. [08:13] vinceableworld: apt-get install package [08:13] I don't do well in groups... [08:13] I dont see any example output [08:13] like what the script would spit out [08:14] like for example [08:14] newbie here... so it's in my download folder... d/l with firefox... [08:14] vinceableworld: what are you trying to install? [08:14] vinceableworld: what are you trying to install? Why not use the software center to install it? [08:14] "I love green trees"|sed -i s/trees/bugs/ would probly give "I love green bugs" [08:14] Jordan_U: ah, ignore the sh -c bit. recent addtion. [08:14] thats example of out oput [08:14] okay opened a terminal [08:14] a chat program [08:14] encrypted chat - very cool [08:15] ntzrmtthihu777: Please pastebin a version of the script as it should be then. [08:15] why did update-grub make my system not boot up? [08:15] Just got a linux version - and they are going to KILL skype DEAD DEAD DEAD. Rejoice brothers and sisters. [08:15] republican_devil: read up several lines; I gave explicit output. expected output is "numeric chmod code, symbolic chmod codes, owner, group, filename. [08:15] http://paste.debian.net/33116/ [08:15] what? [08:15] thsoe exact words? [08:15] Rejoice! [08:15] vinceableworld: what? [08:16] or soemthing like 775 user1 goup1 file [08:16] republican_devil: no, but since you seem to have trouble with the example I gave I reworded it. [08:16] anyway... so I got terminal open [08:16] republican_devil: yeah, like that. [08:16] dude i bene asking you 10x for the actual output [08:16] not words fo what it might output [08:16] vinceableworld: What are you trying to install? [08:16] example data [08:16] ya garboon [08:16] pretend I have no idea what I'm doing :) [08:16] are u retarded? [08:16] a chat program. [08:16] onca: What happens when you try to boot? [08:16] that is what I am trying to install [08:17] republican_devil, chillax it's only IRC ... [08:17] vinceableworld: what chat program? [08:17] in bash u usually collect the thigns you wnat by launchging a comand to collect it ina subshell like $(some command crap) [08:17] then you echo back the vars once set [08:17] !who | vinceableworld [08:17] vinceableworld: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [08:17] http://paste.debian.net/33117/ [08:17] vinceableworld: name of chat program? [08:18] unsene [08:18] ok so how is this different from ls -lh??? [08:18] hi everybody, i'm running linux inside a vm and i have mounted a shared folder by adding this line in fstab: media /media/Shares vboxsf defaults 0 0.....in virtualbox share, i given the guest OS write permission but i could only create a folder but i can't write anything in the parent folder once created; how do i fix this? [08:18] thats it [08:18] I am making myself overlord [08:18] and worlds guna not be run by dumb anymore [08:19] republican_devil: it includes numeric chmod codes, like 755 for rwx-rw--rw [08:19] ntzrmtthihu777: ok let me ask even more sepcifically: what is your goal, in wirting this script? [08:19] and you think ls perchance has no switch to show that numerically? [08:19] perhaps? [08:19] vinceableworld: and apt-get install unsene doesn't do the trick? [08:20] and why do you care anyhow? [08:20] republican_devil: not one I'm aware of, but I'd love to have one :P [08:20] are you checking perms for some reason? [08:20] whats the goal? [08:20] republican_devil: generic use. what is your problem with me wanting to customize the output of my command? [08:21] http://103.28.36.130/files/unsene_ubuntu/install_ubuntu_x64_20130823.tar.gz [08:22] Ahh, I followed a tutorial on how to include windows in grub2 and now my system won't boot. [08:22] why [08:22] whats the goal? [08:22] all I did was run sudo update-grub [08:22] and it finished cleanly/ [08:22] !grub|onca, [08:22] onca,: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

Why doesn't matter. now, unless you have anything actually useful to say in the next few message you are more than welcome to join my ignored list. [08:26] ntzrmtthihu777: you need to learn to communicate [08:26] hmm i never had to add windows to grub2 .. .it always "auto detected" here [08:27] I asked you 100 times for same thing [08:27] after first 5 dont you ge tthat your not beign clear? [08:27] you never mentioned you had pasteninned the info until later [08:27] after an inital pastebin [08:27] of the script [08:27] and I still now dont know your purpose [08:27] and it is you my good man who are annoying [08:28] republican_devil: goodbye, I've answered your questions each time asked, and yet you refuse to acknowledge them. so, good day/night, and I'll be glad to never hear from you again.

[08:38] nothing at the moment , I was helping others [08:38] TheUser: which Desktop environment are you using?

[08:44] republican_devil: I'm aware of and have read a fair portion of said wiki. I'm no bash expert but I know and like it well enough. Now, if you care to give me Y instead of my X, having already stated my goal, I'd love to hear it, but your "nerdier than thou" atitude is not need nor helpful.

[08:49] paranoidphreak: /j #vbox [08:49] paranoidphreak: I don't know the particular answer you're looking for, but could you perhaps use samba? make a share on the vm, and mount it on the host/ [08:50] paranoidphreak: also, you can set read/write permissions in the fstab for cifs, but I don't recal the particulars. [08:50] ntzrmtthihu777: have you tried in #bash? [08:51] histo: they don't like my use of ls, even though I'm trying to extend the usefullness of ls in particular. [08:51] Thanks for the suggestions [08:51] ntzrmtthihu777: ls has limitations on it's output [08:53] histo: I'm aware of that. I just dont understand why placing said script in $PATH and calling it by name is giving me the wierd hangup, but running it with "bash script" in the right dir does. [08:53] s/does/works/ [08:53] ntzrmtthihu777: put do you have /bin/bash at the begining of your script? [08:53] histo: yep, I have my hashbang setup right.

[08:54] here it is again: http://paste.debian.net/33133/ [08:56] ntzrmtthihu777: I don't understand the point of this script [08:57] histo: it places numeric chmod codes in the leftmost column of the output of ls -laF; for example http://paste.debian.net/33117/ [08:58] Hello there! I'm developing a school project that requires to operate on a chrooted 11.04 environment. All works fine (I chroot into) but can't run 'apt-get update' because all entries in /etc/apt/sources.list are ignored or give me an 404 error. Am I missing something that my only chroot doesn't do, for example updating the sources.list file? [08:58] dangit, be right back, my irc client is being stupid. [08:58] leonixyz: 11.04 is no longer supported [08:59] Ben66: since when? [08:59] histo: back. [08:59] leonixyz: since october [08:59] Ben66: so there are no repositories? [08:59] nope, no security updates, no nothing [09:00] Ben66: ok ty [09:00] leonixyz: the repos have been moved to the archive, that's why it's 404'ing [09:01] !eolupgrades | leonixyz [09:01] leonixyz: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [09:01] leonixyz: developing a project around 11.04 - or any other non-LTS release, is suicide [09:01] ntzrmtthihu777: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/newbie/21722-command-shows-me-permissions-file-octal.html No idea why your script is behaving that way but I found this hopefully it helps if it's the way awk is running. [09:02] ikonia: ah, there you are. did you see my previous message? if not, I said thank you for letting me know backtrack is now kali linux. I booted the iso via grub the other day, and rather enjoyed it. Ended up installing it to a new partition on this machine.

[09:04] I'm writing my teacher,... actually I'm developing a project for a previous academic year [09:05] Can't open steam Ubuntu 13.04 after installation [09:05] Anyone knows what's going on? [09:06] histo: ah, thankyah, this has given me the hook I need. [09:06] t4nk936: launch in a terminal then post the output to pastebin or here if it's one line [09:06] How do i launch steam from terminal? [09:07] t4nk936: steam adds its own repos, I think; you'll likely have to do sed -i 's:precise:raring:g' on the files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ to fix. [09:07] t4nk936: steam [09:07] t4nk936: exactly like any other program. open a terminal and enter steam [09:07] okay. here's what it says [09:08] leonixyz, as you know, 11.04 is end of life ... [09:08] it won't copy paste it [09:09] t4nk936: find a way, screenshot if you have to and use imagebin [09:09] i hate how its stil so difficult ot stretch a window in linux [09:09] well i can tell you it says : Success as the last word [09:09] joufflu: grab corner, move it? [09:10] t4nk936: no offense but that's not really helpful [09:10] I see the cursor change but as soon as I drag it, the drops the window! Ubuntu is just trolling me! [09:10] susr/bin/steam: line 191: /home/fon/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: Success [09:10] /r/the/it [09:11] joufflu: changes WMs? [09:11] t4nk936: is that the only line? [09:11] Yes [09:12] t4nk936: well at least we know whatever that script is it's launching fine [09:12] t4nk936: still no window? [09:12] Nope. Nothing happens [09:13] I tried uninstalling, chaning grapshics drivers [09:13] t4nk936: is a process running in activity monitor or top/htop ? [09:13] No [09:14] t4nk936: so after you launch in terminal it prints that line then crashes without a message explaining why? [09:14] I have two directories with roughly 158 subdirectories and 1400+ files within those that are supposed to be mirrors of each other, but one is off by two files. What program/command can I use to figure out where the difference is without manually checking it? [09:14] diff? [09:14] It doesn't launch or crash anything. Like I said, nothing happens [09:14] No sign of life coming from steam [09:14] t4nk936: if it doesn't crash then a process should be present [09:14] haux: diff? [09:15] Maybe, but not in my case [09:15] I'll try that, if I can figure out 'configuration' of the command (options) [09:15] haux: fdupes can do the opposite of it, find all the correct duplicates. [09:16] t4nk936: after you type and launch steam in terminal, can you type commands again? [09:16] No [09:16] aeon-ltd, I'd bet his ps -x shows steam running [09:16] Hey, friends. Ubuntu newbie here. Installed Ubuntu 12.04 desktop version on a previous Windows machine. It's been working fine for a couple of weeks, but now it doesn [09:16] t [09:16] boot. [09:17] magnus___, no boot at all? [09:17] no boot at all [09:17] magnus___: still have your livecd/usb? [09:17] yes, still have my live CD but seems the computer won [09:17] tt even boot from that [09:17] aeon-ltd: i installed xubuntu thinking it be good to xfce [09:17] t4nk936: can you change focus to steam? like alt-tab === GingerGeek is now known as GingerGeek[Away] [09:18] magnus___: sounds pretty serious. mayhaps the machine itself is busted? how old is it/ [09:18] Nothing :/ No sign of life from Steam. [09:18] I seriously wonder if I should re install Ubuntu [09:18] t4nk936: purge and reinstall? [09:19] t4nk936: that wouldn't be worth it, that'd be 30 mins of work plus restoring backups [09:19] Well I tried uninstalling it from synaptic package manager [09:19] isn't that like purging? [09:19] magnus___: what do you see starting your machine? [09:19] t4nk936: not unless you chose the option to purge or completely remove [09:19] t4nk936, purge steam. reinstall. see what happens. [09:20] alright will try that :) tnx everyone for your time [09:20] t4nk936, in fact, running the commands from terminal might just give you more infomattion. [09:20] t4nk936, sudo apt-get purge steam [09:20] tozen: nothing at all, screen doesn't seem to react at all to my booting of the computer [09:20] tnx for command i was looking to google it [09:21] magnus___, and this is with the ubuntu CD right? [09:21] using what comman dline can I know what system version I have? [09:21] cfhowlett: no, this was post-installation, without the ubuntu CD [09:21] Package 'steam:i386' is not installed, so not removed [09:21] !system [09:21] researcher: uname -a [09:21] that's what it said after i purged it [09:21] !version [09:21] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [09:21] researcher: lsb_release -a [09:21] Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove it. [09:21] the this [09:22] then this* [09:22] magnus___: what videocard do you use? [09:24] magnus___, hazarding a guess; you've got auto update running. the latest point release was 12.4.2 to 12.4.3 and (guessing) your video settings didn't migrate to the new version. [09:24] !nomodeset|magnus___, [09:24] magnus___,: 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 [09:24] Hi [09:24] Antar, greetings [09:25] Still no luck with steam problem :( [09:25] :) can you help me to display php errors on my lamp [09:25] cfhowlett/ ubottu: I've read up on the nomodeset parameter and suspect this could fix it - but how can I enter grub and change the parameter if nothing at all shows up on screen?

[09:29] t4nk936, and starting from command line gives no error message??? [09:29] Are you using the Software Center? [09:29] sudo apt-get install steam [09:30] no error message, nothing. [09:31] t4nk936, have you tried using Software Center? [09:31] junktext, yes i have tried that. same results = nothing happening [09:32] t4nk936, abnormal behavior. you should have some kind of message returned. run ps -x and look for steam entries [09:33] cfhowlett>, ok, will try that [09:33] do: ps -x | grep steam [09:34] junktext, 4627 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto steam [09:34] this came up [09:35] Ah, that's all? [09:35] It might have to do that I had black screen problems yesterday and I had to uninstall my graphics drivers [09:35] yeah, that's all :/ [09:36] histo: yep, you got me what I needed. I ended up finding a perl script because you gave me the right name to google for, octal notation, instead of "numeric chmod codes" [09:36] the "grep --color" thing is just saying that it noticed you are grep'ing for steam [09:36] junktext: yep. that puzzled the crap outta me for a while XD [09:37] well, word steam is in red [09:37] idk what greping means [09:37] t4nk936: yep, because you greped it lol. [09:37] Yeah, you can ignore the search results then, t4nk936. [09:37] t4nk936, and you've just reinstalled steam. so why the heck it won't run is the mystery. grep is a string search command. anyway. reboot. try to run steam again. [09:37] t4nk936: grep means search for a string. ps -x shows running processes, and grep steam looks for one named steam or containing the letters. [09:37] grep is a method to search against text. [09:38] Ok, ty guys for your patience and time. Will try rebooting pc [09:38] its a very useful tool, lol. [09:38] from then if it doesn't work I'll just reinstall ubuntu [09:38] what can i do -.- [09:38] t4nk936, or post on Steam's github.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [09:53] nice * [09:53] I've been trying to install Ubuntu to be my main OS by unfortunately I keep getting errors, how do I fix this ?

When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [09:54] Hi All. I've just installed open stack following matthew scott's you tube vid and I'm now wondering where i can get the default logins for the openstack dashboard, horizon etc from? [09:54] I downloaded the latest 64bit version, I'm using an HP Pavilion Dv7 laptop with Intel i5 installed [09:55] InDooMe what errors? [09:56] how can I take a snapshot and send it over here ? [09:56] using Xchat [09:56] InDooMe: post it to imagebin [09:56] cool [09:56] how do I snapshoot ? [09:56] InDooMe http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add [09:57] Alright, I'm going to ask again just in case someone else that joined might have an answer. I have two directories that are supposed to be mirrors of each other. One is off by 2 files. I'd like to figure out which files are missing. 'diff' doesn't appear to be ideal here as diff -r wants to compare the file to file, which will take a long time and I don't want to do. I just want to know which files are missing. Ideas? [09:57] InDooMe: but, if its primarily text, pastebin would be better [09:57] ok I'll check [09:57] haux: ho big are the trees? [09:57] ~140 subdirectories with ~1400 files [09:58] 50GB total in size [09:58] haux: actually, one seccond. I think I can work out a tiny scriptlet to do that for you. do you have fdupes installed? if not, install it, its hugely useful. Oh crap, that's too much for fdupes to be useful in this situation... [09:59] Someone recommended fdupes earlier, but I was giving diff a shot first [09:59] haux: with that amount of files you basically have no choice but for it to take a while. [10:00] The issue with diff is that it's actually comparing the contents of the files. === light_ is now known as iamriel [10:00] I don't need that, at all [10:00] haux: yes, I understand that, but I [10:00] There's nothing that will only compare the file structure? [10:00] 'm not aware of something that can recursively check filenames :/ [10:00] hm [10:00] haux: not to say it doesn't exist, I just don't know it :P [10:00] yeah [10:02] I wonder if it can be done with rsync [10:02] haux: rsync has a dry run option. [10:03] really? nothing? ok [10:03] Synth_: what? [10:03] There's also something called rdiff [10:03] I'm writing on Pastbin.com [10:03] Synth_: oh, the mac hdd. sorry, know nothing about mac hardware except its hugely overpriced.

[10:37] I didn't know what option I had left? [10:37] Layke: try to avoid using such buggy software when it wont react on a normal kill :) [10:38] So my two options would be 1) Don't use Solr. 2) Use kill and go on my way. [10:39] Layke: sure you can use kill (-15) [10:39] Layke: Use kill to kill a pid [number], pkill to kill a process name. [10:39] Layke: kill -9 is always bad, normally something with the process is really bugged then [10:39] Okay thanks. I'll try -15 next if it happens again./ [10:40] Layke: kill pid is using kill -15 by default [10:42] Layke: kill -15 means "send the process a signal that the process should end and wait until the process is cleanly ended, deletedt pid files, closing sockets and so on". kill -9 directly ends the process and the process does not have a chance to clean up [10:42] Layke: and when a process is not reacting on -15 normally the program is buggy [10:47] is there a live edition of ubuntu server? I cant seem to create a usb boot drive with the server edition as the server iso appears to only be an installer. Am i missing something? [10:47] No. [10:47] MACscr: The server editiion is an installer only.

[11:09] Guest89631 read any review, here's one http://www.zdnet.com/ubuntu-13-04-raring-ringtail-review-7000014497/ [11:09] Guest89631: 12.04 is a lts release (Long term support) it will get 5 years security updates but has older software versions (which will not be updated, just sec updates), 13.04 is the newest release with 9 month of support, it has newer software versions but it not that stable like 12.04 because the software from 13.04 is not tested that long as on 12.04 [11:11] misread, I tought you meant 12.10 vs 13.04 [11:11] Guest89631: so its up to you if you want a more stable system (12.04) or a newer release. i personally prefer 12.04 instead of 13.04 [11:11] Guest89631: but both systems are fine, so its up to you [11:12] are both ok to create a java/python3 developer workstation? [11:12] Guest89631: yes [11:12] Guest89631: yes [11:13] Guest 89631: [11:14] Guest89631: if having the newest stuff is important to you, choose the latest release ( 13.04). If stability is more important, I reccommend choosing the current LTS (12.04). [11:14] *recommend [11:15] eyfour: i don't know, i need something right for a quite old lapton Acer Aspire 5920G that i will use to write programs in Eclipse IDE and Python [11:15] *laptop [11:15] is mutliarch enabled by default in 12.04? i was facing big problems in debian with skype on amd64 because multiarch is not enabled by default. is it the same for 12.04?

[11:17] iceroot : not sure about answering, but I have skype on xubutu 12.04 and never went into this trouble, just downloaded and installed ... runs fine. [11:17] Guest89631: 14.04 will be LTS again [11:17] Guest89631: current plan is 14.04 is LTS [11:17] Joupi: on amd64? [11:18] iceroot : I forgot to say I am on xubuntu 64 [11:18] yes ... ;-) [11:18] Guest89631: Either release should be fine for that purpose as well. Since your laptop is old, you might need to use a different desktop environment than Unity (called "ubuntu" in the log-in screen) to get it to run smoothly. [11:18] Joupi: and the skype package you installed is i386? [11:19] Guest89631: Other than that, whichever supported "vanilla" Ubuntu release you choose, it should "just work".

Once it is, you can call it by entering its full path as a command (e.g. "/my/scripts/script.sh") [11:28] twenty-three: if the script is in your current working directory, you can call it by entering "./script.sh" [11:29] eyfour: is that like changing its permissions or something? [11:29] or how do i make sure it is executable? [11:31] twenty-three: either enter "chmod +x /path/to/script.sh" in a terminal, or right-click the file, choose properties>permissions>allow this file to run as a program (or similar. I don't use the english version of Ubuntu, but it should say something similar) [11:32] noted, thanks a lot eyfour!! :) [11:33] twenty-three: no problem :) [11:34] After installing apache/mysql/php, I couldn't access my web pages in /var/www from the browser because of some permission issues so I did "chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www" and it works fine for the files I am just creating in it but it's not opening PHP files I moved from my Windows machine to a folder named "Projects" [11:35] any help or suggestions?

[13:37] onca: is the boot flag set on the windows partition? [13:37] windows is the only partition that boots [13:37] and yes. [13:39] Frank81, yes check the vpn client settings on your pc , not the server [13:39] onca: have you tried simply reinstalling grub? [13:39] sudo grub-install /dev/sda [13:39] trijntje: that's how I got as far as I have. [13:39] but I still cannot stat init message. [13:39] BluesKaj: i am checking if its a routing prbolem or else coz i get on ping [13:40] ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted [13:40] I would kill for my original grub files. they worked fine, just had no windows [13:40] I tried to add my windows installation with update-grub and now my system fails [13:41] onca: have you checked the wiki? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_the_LiveCD_terminal [13:41] onca, have your run sudo os-prober in the terminal ? [13:41] no [13:41] BluesKaj: yah, it only mentions /dev/sda2:Ubuntu [13:42] onca: since you have a separate boot partition, you also need the use the --boot-directory flag [13:42] I did that [13:42] and installation is no problem it's the configuration [13:43] onca, why use a boot partition , not really necessary anymore ' [13:43] trijntje: I used the wiki's tutorial, both methods didn't fix my problem [13:43] because I have more than one distro. So I keep my boot files in one partition [13:44] I'm this far along, are you suggesting I start over? [13:45] How does one disable compiting [13:45] onca: what do you mean you have more than one distro? I thought you only had 3 partitions [13:46] I intend to have another on my fourth. [13:46] how do I instruct grub2 to rebuild all of the configuration files? [13:48] onca: updae-grub or is it grub-update [13:48] onca: what version of ubuntu are you using? According to the wiki, grub-install should overwrite all old config files. What is the error message you get while booting? [13:48] trijntje: 13.10 [13:49] onca: 13.10? That release is not stable yet, and not recommended for use [13:49] still, this isn't about the installation, moreso why when I came back to fix grub my system is kaput [13:50] I was happy with ubuntu, grub is a pain in my a** though [13:50] onca, which grub are you using? [13:50] onca: have you tires supergrtubdisc? [13:52] onca, try #ubuntu+1 . you might get more co-operation there [13:55] onekt, do you have a live cd/usb that you can use , we can do some commands to reinstall grub from it . [13:55] oops sorry onekt , onca left [13:57] hi guys... anyone manage to get an android connected on 12.04...android is on ICS and the otpions available don't include USB for some reason [13:58] hi all [13:58] there's any elementary os channel? [13:59] meaning? [13:59] if you talking about ubuntu OS , this is the place, navyseal [13:59] marianne, mtp is supported on 13.04, but not on 12.04. one reason why I upgraded to 13.04 [13:59] !elementary | navyseal [13:59] damn [14:00] !damn | kostkon [14:00] shucks [14:00] boog: seriously? can I cry now? been looking online all morning....you pretty much confirmed my suspicions [14:00] marianne, what did you decide about your pci soundcard ? [14:01] boog: but then I can't even get my Mac to 'see' it [14:01] : Ophalen van http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty-security/universe/binary-i386/Packages is mislukt 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.13 80] [14:01] marianne, there are some ppa's that will add it to 12.04, but I personally think that 13.04 support is better [14:02] BluesKaj: went with the onboard and returned the card. RTFM'd the mother manual and found the onboard does what I was looking for the sound card to do... i have 5.1 now :-) [14:02] a stupid question- i have a dual boot- windows7 with lubuntu 13.04, so i have grub2. i made a bootable usb-stick with another linux distro (i want to try it). how can i make the grub2 too boot from the usb? [14:02] marianne, cool :) [14:02] boog: want an LTS version then.... [14:02] it seems there are still some issued to be worked out, like copying a folder with a large number of files seems to fail [14:03] boog, thats often a hardware problem [14:03] boog: going to see if I can move all my data to the sim card and the pop it out and put it in a 'reader' [14:03] compdoc, I have had the issue on multiple computers, and different android devices [14:03] how do i fix dis [14:05] marianne, you can also try options like the ftp server built into es file explorer or airdroid [14:06] neta, or you could use the usb to install grub to the mbr [14:06] airdroid is neat because you can do more than just transfer files [14:07] boog: pretty new to android stuff and I'm working off a fresh install of 12.04 on new hardware. yeah, learning curve here. [14:08] yup, I was there too. especially after getting a nexus 7, and finding that mass storage mode was gone from android [14:09] boog: I have a galaxy s3 and yeah... I undrestand why the developers did what they did, but man... they could have warned us [14:09] where can i get ubuntu touch binaries to install and test on my android tablet? and a good tutorial on installing the same [14:10] I have the S3, too. I'm not sure who had warning lol, but it is still aggravating. I'm sure linux will catch up before long [14:11] boog: found instructions on how to set it up and connect with terminal, but that's for another day... little too hungover from last nights MMA fights [14:12] hahaha! Like I said, try airdroid. [14:12] BlueKaj, when i boot my computer ignore the usb [14:13] neta, what did you use to install ubuntu ? [14:15] BluesKaj, when i had only windows i changed the bios to make it boot from usb, and installed ubuntu. now when i change the bios options it still ignores the usb [14:17] neta, do you have a cdrom , could you burn an ubuntu-live cd? [14:17] BluesKaj, no cd-rom.. only usb ports [14:19] neta, only usb ports , but can't boot from them ...hmm check the usb stick to make sure the ubuntu imahe is still on it [14:19] image [14:21] BluesKaj, yep.. i had no problems installing ubuntu from that very usb-stick.. i assumed it's becouse the grub2 maybe.. [14:22] neta, nope , grub should have installed without any trouble [14:22] grub2 rather === nurupo|away is now known as nurupo [14:22] but you do see the grub menu when booting , right ? [14:23] anyone whoc an help me? [14:23] BluesKaj, yes, i can go to my lubuntu and windows.. just not the usb [14:25] IS it possible to change my IP, to make webbrowser think I am on a different IP, even that I aint? [14:26] sorry neta , I misread your orginal question ..facepalm! [14:26] hi?> [14:26] fdtrijlihtfdrtfghijkogytf [14:26] Oxymoron: why do you want that for your webbrowser? [14:26] AlexPortable, justr ask your question [14:27] Oxymoron nop... the ip address is not something that is resolved in the computer [14:27] AlexPortable: To get around a chat block on a website :P [14:27] it's something resolved in your isp [14:27] BluesKaj, lol :) so do you know? is there a command or something to do that? [14:27] Oxymoron, use a vpn [14:27] Extreminador: Yes I know, but if you could mask the IP adress, like proxy but without using Proxy because the website can detect it. [14:27] BluesKaj: VPN is the only way? How to setup for free? [14:28] Oxymoron: that's not browser ip [14:28] neta, no I don't [14:28] BluesKaj, if that metters, i have uefi [14:28] AlexPortable: What is not? [14:28] BluesKaj, ok.. thanks anyway :) [14:28] Extreminador: I am using a mobile broadband btw, if that helps? WOuldnt it be possible to force ISP to change IP on my router? [14:29] Oxymoron: chat block around isn for browser [14:29] neta: it could be that the bios sees the usb as another hard disk, can you check the bios when you have the usb in the pc to see if it shows two harddisks [14:29] that's for whole network to be applied [14:29] well Oxymoron my knowlgement in internet is not that good... i am not sure how proxys works in order to not detect you actual ip address rather that the proxy address [14:29] Oxymoron, check the pm [14:30] AlexPortable: What you mean? [14:30] trijntje, how to do that? [14:30] i think proxys work like an antenna that repeats your "connection question" and send it to the disire destination... them the desire destination reply to the antenna that send's you back the reply [14:31] sow i guess it's like you ask me to ask someone your questions [14:31] Extreminador: As a web developer I know how to detect IP BEHIND the proxy from a website. Thats why I would need to change IP without proxy. [14:31] neta: that depends on the BIOS, does it have a key to change the boot order just once? [14:31] ohh Oxymoron :) them you know more that me... [14:33] trijntje, i don't think so, but i can change and rechange.. it's weird because before i had lubuntu i just enabled uefi and it booted from the usb [14:33] Extreminador: However I have not used any VPN or similar before. It should be easy to get around this. Like force Ubuntu/computer to think I am on a different iSP, than I am actually on, to work around the router IP. === unrar is now known as Guest52187 [14:45] Oxymoron: nothing [14:48] how do I show all the directories when im at root?

[15:03] abdeljalil: get some computers, install ubuntu, network them together [15:03] You already got a home network bcs you are on a LAN i suppose. [15:03] Give all your PC's an IP in the same subnet. [15:03] That will create a [15:03] "Home Network" [15:03] i use elementary not ubuntu (ubuntu based) [15:04] Still same story. [15:04] under network i see "entire network" [15:04] Did you assign an IP? [15:04] Or did your DHCP client received DHCP offer? [15:04] -_- i dont know what you are talking about!!!

[15:08] For example 192.168.0.1 = PC1 [15:08] 192.168.0.2 = PC2 [15:09] Then y can share files by SMB [15:09] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1685718 [15:09] SMB? [15:09] In that thread they explain how to share files by SMB [15:09] okay, i will read that, thank's [15:09] Samba filesharing. SMB is the protocol for sharing files on Linux. [15:11] can i use that to share files between linux and other OS [15:11] Yes [15:11] Windows also supports SMB. [15:11] smb is supported under windows [15:11] good :) [15:11] what about mac RILA ?

I have tried "options snd-hda-intel model=auto/acer/acer-aspire/acer-dmic" but with no luck. Any thoughts?

[15:29] RILA: i asked purge and remove --purge and not purge and remove [15:30] RILA: still thnx for your reply [15:30] tosate: are you sure...?

I want to reset the defaults. Cannot easily find in home folder, including .local, and apt-get remove/install does not reset them. [15:32] elijah: check ~/.config. You could probably use strace to see where it makes writes or read documentation (latter is probably easier0 [15:33] RILA: alsamixer? I do have stuff in alsamixer, but that either has no effect or affects only external mic. Sound settings do show controls for both external and internal mic.

Only apt-get remove --purge can only be run when the libary exist on your system.

[19:25] yeah i dont blame you. when you take the route of vnc they are always clunky and slow, if you can find an alternative I agree that it would be better [19:26] , no since i had updated to the latest one [19:26] ive done it before with the nook color. so http://thomaspolasek.blogspot.ca/2012/04/arch-linux-lxde-w-xorg-mouse-keyboard_16.html [19:26] but it was a bunch of work and it was just a chroot environment -- no a native installation.

With wicd is much better [19:31] Rallias: apologies, was looking at the wrong channel [19:31] :P [19:31] bazhang: not sure how to check !wubi [19:31] Rallias: uid=0 shouldn't be used, as the root account is locked [19:31] barbie: if you go to synaptics you can check if you have it or not [19:31] thanks for help but i have already tried it [19:31] hmmmmmm apparently Linux has to be installed on partition 3 or lower for grub to work and Win8 on the last partition [19:31] ubottu: checking the links now, thanks. I am 'inside' Win 7 Pro [19:31] revelrevol: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:31] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide revelrevol [19:31] barbie: and what did you figure out? === robin is now known as Guest89165 [19:32] haha thanks bazhang [19:33] heared some stuff about the password between the router nd my computer [19:34] knoppix so it looks like the next ubuntu release 13.10 will use Mir -- which utlizes libhybris to interface with the graphics graphics system [19:34] should make it much easier to get ubuntu /w graphics running on android devices [19:34] pyrex: it will? i thought that got delayed. [19:35] first Xmir, then Mir [19:35] that seems like building a house befor you get the foundation done. ;) [19:35] Dr_Willis i was reading it off the wikipedia. does xmir run ontop of mir? [19:36] pyrex: its a compatabilty layer or somthing. lets you get x apps on mir i belive [19:36] I have that version now pyrex. i think its great. the only drawback is that I mostly use the 12.04 updated version because google chrome does not work properly on the 13.04 they have some bugs and I really use that alot. i installed the google chrome by hand and it still had problems. you may want to keep 12.04 updated version until that bug is fixed [19:36] or was it mir apps on X. [19:36] That is just the goal, foundation or metal does not matter anymore [19:36] i need to ask somebody to check my computer [19:37] knoppix thanks for the info. have you tried firefox, also does the terminal run well? [19:38] barbie: lol, I didnt get it. Maybe you should try a live cd with other linux distro to see if it's working properly first. Then you can see if its your computer or your configs [19:38] didnt try firefox on 13.04 but the terminal is perfect everything works really well. just the google chrome thing, but chromium works [19:38] http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2013/06/27/mir-plans-in-13-10/ [19:38] Dr_Willis so Xmir is X running on Mir [19:38] knoppix: anyway, chromium is almost the same thing, or better, right? [19:39] pyrex: if you say so. i havent been keeping up wth the mir news. I am on 13.10 right now. and no mir installed at all as far as i can tell === BlackoutIsHere|O is now known as BlackoutIsHere [19:39] i know that i am on ubuntu for some time now [19:39] pyrex: 2nd paragraph here -> http://www.jonobacon.org/2013/08/15/mir-update-and-testing-mir-in-ubuntu-13-10/ [19:39] it was good until i have pressed the ok to upgrade the button [19:40] 14.04 mir will be the default. :) it seems. [19:40] i know how to check the version of the ubuntu i am now [19:40] barbie: Run "lsb_release -a" in a terminal [19:41] sorry? [19:41] !version [19:41] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [19:41] open a terminal window.. type in the command.. === jack is now known as Guest88867 [19:42] barbie: how did you do the upgrade?

[19:43] it asked me, and have pressed ok [19:44] what does FloodBot1 want from me? [19:44] barbie: can you try to upgrade again? [19:44] barbie: wants you to stop flooding the channel with useless lines [19:44] deezed i will try it [19:45] whaat did i do wrong? [19:45] barbie: maybe with the normal 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' [19:45] pasted 4 lines of useless info.. to answer your own question [19:46] deezed, it asks me to upgrade the firefox only [19:46] i did it [19:46] barbie: if the apt commands above givbe a lot of errors/info you may want to pastebin the output to some pastebin site. then give the url here. for us to look at. [19:47] Dr_Willis sir, do not know what a pastebin site means [19:47] Dr_Willis: I'm not sure, but I have the feeling that when we accept those messages to upgrade we can do something wrong, or not upgrade everything we need. is it true?

[19:51] wireless drops out on 2 meters away [19:52] from the router of course === LittleFo- is now known as LittleFool [19:52] id say determine your exact wifi chipset/card and check the forums and bug reports and askubuntu.com to see if anyone else has reported a similer issue. [19:52] did it sir willis, otherwise i woulldn't come here [19:53] tried everything, i need some bright, out of the box thinking minds [19:53] barbie__, sounds like competition from another radio wave producing device; microwave? small nuclear detination? [19:54] how can I open epub files? [19:54] marian_: calibre can convert them i belive - if you cant find somthing to directly read them [19:54] yes sir, some keep me on ubuntu one [19:54] Dr_Willis: hello [19:54] love it, but i need some friends here [19:55] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPUB#Software_reading_systems [19:55] marian_, i use calibre for all ebooks [19:55] Calibre 1.0 was just released this week (or last week) ;) or somthing. [19:55] the funny thing is that everyone is going to help, but when it comes to some serios [19:56] serious stuff everyone is out [19:56] barbie__: if its a external interfearance source. theres not a lot we can do about it. [19:56] sudo apt-get install calibre [19:56] right? [19:56] my son install this machine but he is not here [19:56] if its an internal driver/bug/kernel issue barbie__ then a 13.10 live cd MIGHT have updated drivers that may remove the issue. (worth testing) [19:56] barbie__: why do you think it is more serious than the others problems? [19:56] !info calibre [19:56] calibre (source: calibre): e-book converter and library management.

[19:57] it is a fiber opthics, which worked ok until the 13th of ubuntu [19:58] barbie__: that statement makes no sence.. if your Wireless btween the router and the pc is having issues.. the fact you got fiber to the router.. dosent matter. [19:58] could be but couldn't solve it till now [19:58] someone or somthing in the area MAY be causing interfearance. you can change the channels and other wifi settings. and scan the area and see if theres other sources [19:59] ive had wifi cards that got disconnected every time my Home phone rang.. ;) [19:59] no way, help others if you cannot help me, no problem [19:59] installed callibre but epub open in archive manager [20:00] i have a great connection between my wifi and my pc while on 1 meter away, otherwise it sucks [20:00] marian_: run calibre and import the book to your library [20:00] calibre is not 'just' an ebook reader. ;) [20:01] barbie__: which points to some external infearance, or a very weird driver/kernel bug. [20:01] Dr_Willis: what other functionality does it have? [20:01] loki_: anything you want done with e-books it can do. ;) [20:01] Hi, Is there anyway to encrypt all the emails in the inbox?

[20:01] http://www.webupd8.org/2013/08/e-book-management-app-calibre-10.html [20:01] it's awesome, I know :D [20:01] barbie__, maybe play like a scientist and eliminate possibilities by changing one variable at a time. Try different computer, then different operating system (live cd) etc. [20:02] w30: exactly [20:02] mojtaba: if your hdd is encrypted, downloaded emails will be encrypted locally. assuming that you are downloading them all locally and they aren't stored on a server somewhere [20:02] loki_: it has a new feture to polish/clean up the formating and other stuff in some formats now a days [20:02] Dr_Willis: I think I used it for converting files in the past [20:03] barbie__: if you think its a driver/kernel bug. then try 13.10 and see if the problem goes away. if so then you have sort of proven its a kernel/driver issue [20:03] loki_: I am using IMAP and I would like to have all of my emails encrypted on the server. [20:03] barbie__: plese barbie, can you try a live cd to check if it is a new problem of your computer or from you OS [20:03] w30 all the windows ones are good, and i had it perfect beforee the last ubuntu [20:04] where might I have gone wrong here ? http://imgur.com/xzlg55G [20:04] Using a 32-bit laptop with ubuntu 12.04. Struggling to play .mts files because they are choppy in both vlc and media player. Any solution? [20:04] Sach: convert them to some other format? i cant recall ever seeing a '.mts' file befor [20:04] I can't seem to get a ubuntu usb live disk booted on my mac [20:04] i have reencoded videos int he past so they play better on my netbook. [20:05] i had it perfect before that, and i even have upgraded to the lastest kernel, well, not me, but a friend of mine, so i am on the latest kernel, ubuntu 13.04, ad it sucks [20:05] that is the output of this http://imgur.com/tfaZOTg [20:05] mts files are typically output from video cameras [20:05] barbie__: earlier kernels can be selected from the GRUB menu - if you think an earlier kernel may work. Somthing else to try [20:05] please help guys. :-( [20:05] bray90820: that is probably due to the BIOS [20:06] barbie__: that is subjective [20:06] I downloaded "ubuntu-13.04-desktop-amd64+mac.iso" [20:06] Sach: what are the specs of your system? [20:06] Dr_Willis: think of MTS files like RAW files, but for video [20:07] bray90820: never heard of or seen that ISO [20:07] where did you DL from? [20:07] , already did so..nothing [20:07] what do you mean? [20:08] loki_: http://releases.ubuntu.com/raring/ [20:08] barbie__: saying the latest version sucks is subjective. most likely the issue is not with the OS [20:08] barbie__: sounds to me like you need to write up the problem. and what tests you have done, and post it to askubuntu.com being as detailed as possible, [20:08] loki_: is there a command I can use to produce these details? [20:08] , of course it sucks for me only, sorry [20:08] barbie__: i would test with 13.10 live cd and see if that also has the issue [20:09] barbie__: that's not true either [20:09] what is the exact problem? [20:09] bray90820: checking [20:09] Sach: you don't know how much RAM you have or what kind of CPU you have? [20:09] barbie__: why you cant just try the live cd? [20:09] doing that since ubuntu 7, nothing helps..for me at least [20:10] barbie__: doing what? You have had this issue now for over 7 years? [20:10] loki_: Intel® Celeron(R) M CPU 520 @ 1.60GHz [20:10] just read above [20:10] Dr_Willis i meant that i tried id [20:10] Sach: that is most likely your problem. MTS files are typically output by video cameras. they are an uncompressed format and in this day in age are most likely HD video. that said, your CPU is having a hard time keeping up [20:11] bray90820: this is pretty interesting. give me some more time [20:11] barbie__, if you own the other windows computers, try switching radios (wireless cards) with you windows box [20:11] loki_: yes, this seems to be true. So the only solution is to either buy a new laptop or convert the files? :-p [20:11] barbie__: you need to be a bit more verbose in what you are saying. I dont know what you have tried. You keep comming up with more and more info,,time to write up everything you have done. [20:11] Sach: most likely. [20:11] bray90820: did you read this "Choose this to take full advantage of computers based on the AMD64 or EM64T architecture (e.g., Athlon64, Opteron, EM64T Xeon, Core 2). If you have a non-64-bit processor made by AMD, or if you need full support for 32-bit code, use the Intel x86 images instead. This image is adjusted to work properly on Mac systems."? [20:12] what processor does your machine have? [20:12] loki_: can you suggest a format to convert to that will diminish video quality least? [20:12] so for a xeon based mac i would use the normal version [20:12] loki_: [20:12] Sach: that is hard. it's not the format so much as it's the video quality [20:13] bray90820: so you are doing this on a mac pro? [20:13] yes [20:13] For almost all PCs. This includes most machines with Intel/AMD/etc type processors and almost all computers that run Microsoft Windows, as well as newer Apple Macintosh systems based on Intel processors. Choose this if you are at all unsure. [20:14] I would use the standard image [20:14] see if that works bray90820 [20:14] , no problem, i have an asus ux31e laptop, had the previous ubuntu, i mean the 12.04, had the same issues in the beginning but being honest i do not know how were they solved, so i have upgraded to the new 13th ubuntu and i cannot work being further that 1 meter or 2 away from the router, can you somehow help me sir? [20:15] barbie__: and you have determined your exact wireless chipset? === porchao is now known as porcha0 [20:15] barbie__: do any other clients have issues with wireless? [20:16] Dr_Willis it is atheros, but if you can help me to determine it [20:16] barbie__: lspci -vnvn [20:16] I use my terminal as "myusername" or "root". How can I use it as www-data which is the owner I've set for my web pages in /var/www? [20:17] barbie__: have you tried a different wireless card? [20:17] bl4ckdu5t: www-data is a special user that dosent really have a home, or should be used that way.

[20:29] or [20:29] yep [20:29] are you dual booting? [20:29] all of the connections are extremely weak [20:29] barbie__: are you dual booting?

[20:49] not windows but linux i mean 12th one [20:50] i would test with a 13.10 live dvd - and see if that still has the same issue. [20:50] it may be a known bug/major bug with that laptop/wifi chipset [20:50] 22:50 -!- Irssi: #ubuntu: Total of 1646 nicks Wow this is huge [20:51] JustAguy: not really.. its a slow day [20:51] JustAguy: seen 3000+ in here befor [20:51] lool JustAguy only 10 (or sow) say something [20:51] barbie: ive mentioned several timnes to you -to try the 13.10 live dvd [20:52] barbie: you are NOT using the latest kernel that exists [20:52] Extreminador: welcome to IRC , not so many guys/girls talk in the channels, most are idlers [20:52] you are using the latest for your current release [20:53] gimme the code to check it please? i might be wrong [20:53] barbie, check your Atheros on http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/Atheros some work just with wireless B not G/N [20:54] barbie this my sound stupid bu is the wireless card on ? [20:54] OerHeks: kom je paddenstoelen eten hihi [20:54] is there a way to delete a file in a winrar archive? [20:55] iananananan: rar tools exist on linux, the winrar.exe works with wine last i used it [20:55] Extreminador how are you sir thinking i am talking with you on? [20:55] iananananan, no, not with the free rar tools, those only read [20:55] !rar [20:55] rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [20:55] whoops i mean an iso [20:55] the 7zip command line tool has a rar plugin also i think [20:55] iananananan: an ISO? thats totally differnt. ;) [20:56] answer is No as far as i know. [20:56] does sudo apt-get dist-upgrade does his job well on ubuntu? Because I heard from other guys that it failed every time they attempted it [20:56] unles you remaster the iso - i think thats how some tools like kiso did it [20:56] !info kiso [20:56] Package kiso does not exist in raring [20:56] so i'd probably have to extract and remake the iso, then [20:56] barbie well you could be using rj45 and not wireless [20:56] JustAguy: i use that command daily on 13.10 and have no issues [20:57] ciao [20:57] k, then i'm going to upgrade my irssi/ftp/moviewatching server to 13.10 \o/ [20:57] !list [20:57] cali123456: No warez here!

[21:01] check this iamge please http://postimg.org/image/e5yxx03lx/ [21:01] *image [21:01] Extreminador: unit? You mean merge 2 partitions? [21:02] sir it is on, talking to you now, googled it and some brave guys tried to help me and nothing, dissapointed [21:02] Dr_Willis yes... but in my case i have in middle a ntfs partition [21:02] Dr_Willis: i'm getting Checking for a new Ubuntu releaseNo new release found when doing sudo do-release-upgrade on ubuntu 12.04 [21:02] sow i would have to move the dta beetween [21:02] anyone know if the minimal iso will be able to be booted as a live cd? [21:02] Extreminador: you want to keep the data on both partions? You will have to move the data to one partion, then remove.resize the other [21:02] SubCool , stop running your irc as root! [21:03] Extreminador: then resize/move the partions around.. backing up one and restoreing it would be easier [21:03] Dr_Willis if i am not mistaked for any reazon when i installed ubuntu he use the 59 GB... sow i think the grub is on that one [21:03] Does anyone know why my zpool iostat looks like this? http://pastebin.com/gpApGknB [21:03] Extreminador: why do you need to merge them? [21:03] 59gb for / is a decent size for most people [21:04] Dr_Willis well i like to be organized and to have some control if i need more space [21:04] or if betther make the 142 gb partition the one that holds linux [21:04] not the 59gb one [21:05] Dr_Willis did i not answer to some of your questions? sorry [21:05] Hi [21:05] I'm using Ubuntu 13.10 and I decided to test out Mir. [21:06] alfonsojon: 13.10 support in #ubuntu+1 [21:06] oh alright [21:06] Thanks. [21:07] barbie: my last suggstion was to try the 13.10 live dvd to see if the problem affects 13.10 - if it does - definatly file a bug report on it. [21:07] what is recommended, doing command to upgrade from 12.04 , or just reinstall the OS [21:08] *from 12.04 to 13.10 [21:08] JustAguy: 13.10 is in testing.. may as well just upgrade [21:08] and test that part out. ;) [21:08] will do 13.04 for now :p [21:08] Dr_Willis thanks sir but.. again, tried it, the same thing.. [21:09] When is the next LTS releaase due out? [21:09] barbie: you have downloaded a 13.10 live dvd? and allready tried it? that was fast [21:09] JustAguy: you upgrade from LTS to LTS, or you do each non lts release. so 12.04 to 13.10 will take 2 seperate upgrades [21:09] it would be faster to do a clean install i imagine [21:10] is 13.04 LTS too? [21:10] !lts [21:10] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) [21:10] 12.04 is LTS. [21:10] i know what lts is ;p [21:10] common, i did it, the same thing like it was before [21:10] 14.04 will be LTS also i belive [21:10] JustAguy: but you dont seem to know what it means. ;) [21:11] should i restart or something? [21:11] yes, i could tell the same thing as ubottu said out of my head :p [21:11] every 2 years. [21:11] Dr_Willis i did never undrstood that LTS thing... i mean support on what ? on drivers/upgrades/updates on stuff ? [21:11] Extreminador: a core set of packages for security updates and major bug fixs mainly - i guess you can say [21:11] stuff a business/server would be interested in [21:12] I have a brilliant pc for movie watching / ftp backup server / irssi [21:13] sow does 3 and 5 years are not since the user install the distro but it will be since that version was created correct ? === BlackoutIsHere is now known as BlackoutIsHere|O === BlackoutIsHere|O is now known as BlackoutIsHere === Guest14182 is now known as ese [21:15] ok, so, i have got the latest kernel and the latest drivers as far as i think, and i am suggested to try the new ubuntu , anyway, my kernel is more too further than the latest ubuntu is, but no matter what, i just want to be advised on how to deal with my wireless..and no use [21:15] screw it! [21:15] barbie: give me what wireless card you have [21:15] barbie: most of that last paragraph made little sence. [21:15] Extreminador, and 2 years hardware support, meaning new or updated drivers, etc: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [21:15] do lspci for me barbie [21:15] You are using 13.04 and the latest kernel for it? [21:16] did you or did you NOT try the 13.10 live dvd barbie ? [21:16] thanks kostkon and Dr_Willis [21:16] thank you everyone, i am sick to give the lsi do not why again and again [21:17] JustAguy, im not running as root.. lol [21:17] barbie: because new people come in and exit constantly [21:17] i see [21:17] just give a command please [21:17] barbie: you were asked to make a pastebin site with the info on it earlier, and with all the stuff you have tried [21:17] SubCool: then throw away that root thing in your hostname, it's stupid :p [21:17] i did [21:17] JustAguy, what made you think i was? [21:18] then repost the pastebin url if you have it [21:18] barbie, the scrolling speed on this channel is crazy fast so yeah better repost your info [21:18] hhmmm [21:18] JustAguy, where did you get that information?

[21:26] yep, and if you look above, i have sorted it somehow [21:26] intok, run one of those apps in debug mode if possible, or at least start them from the terminal and see if youll get any error messages.

I rarely have to right with wifi [21:30] sorry for that [21:32] just imagine, you buy a laptop which don't work on wireless, then it works on 12th, and the id doesn't neither on 13.4 nor later? [21:32] barbie: http://askubuntu.com/search?q=ux31e first hit - someone with an identical problem it seems [21:33] there have been major kernel changes in the differnt releases. so its not unexpected theres regressions with some drivers/hardware [21:33] my wifi was a pain in the ass too @ laptop [21:34] I bought wifi that 'works out of the box' ;) [21:34] when i do do-release-update on my 12.04 server it says no new release found. is that correct? [21:34] alnr: because its LTS it will ONLY go to the next LTS [21:34] unless you tell it otherwise alnr [21:34] googled for 24 hours, found lots of the same guys like me but unanswered questions, then i found one page telling me what to do [21:34] anyone know why synaptic would be asking for two passwords and only needs the first to work [21:35] Dr_Willis: can i force it to 12.10 or 13.04 or so? [21:35] http://askubuntu.com/questions/107598/how-do-i-get-wireless-to-work-on-a-asus-zenbook-ux31e has some good info also [21:35] alnr: yes.

I would like to know the License status of http://www.ubuntu.com/ . For example, I would like to use the layout of the website for my own (http:wineonubuntu.cu.cc/) [22:13] Hey everyone. I have a quick question... [22:13] Anybody know how I can fix my cursor in 13.04, it is the default cursor on the desktop but in the programs it is the DMZ-black cursor? [22:14] I want the DMZ-black cursor for everything [22:14] How do I activate my copy of Ubuntu 13.04 and make sure that its genuine? [22:14] NeoGeo64, You don't have to activate Ubuntu or any Linux distro [22:14] NeoGeo64, ubuntu is license free so you don't need to do anything about that [22:15] NeonSpeed, there are linux based OSes that cost money and/or come under some license [22:16] kostkon, True I meant distros like Ubuntu Fedora.... The avg daily used distro, I should have been more specific :/ [22:16] Can i freely use the ubuntu.com layout (html/css)? [22:17] kostkon: I dl'd 13.04 off TPB and I thought I would need a crack to activate it. I've never used Linux before. This works great... how can it be free?

[22:26] Hi, is there a way to force applications to follow symlinks ? [22:26] what's the different apart from support with ubuntu 12.04 and 13.04? [22:27] ab3e: What problem are you actually having? What is your end goal? [22:28] Jordan_U: I want to have symlinks following for a application [22:28] Shakaz: Ubuntu 12.04 has software that was relatively new in April of 2012, Ubuntu 13.04 has software that was relatively new in April of 2013 [22:28] ab3e: That's not an end goal. [22:28] what type of software is this? [22:28] bittorent sync [22:29] wouldn't this be a thing that the filesystem manages ? [22:30] ab3e: It really depends on the context. *Please* state your end goal. [22:30] Jordan_U, sorry to bother you again, but what type of 'new software' [22:31] Shakaz: Mostly the same software for each release of Ubuntu, but newer versions of that software. [22:31] Jordan_U: I want to have the freedom to put my folders everywhere I want to and just put the symlinks to the share folder that btSync manages [22:31] Shakaz, the software in the repositories, around ~40k pieces of softwrae [22:31] Shakaz like in: bugs fixed, more options added etc [22:32] ab3e: That should work for most cases. Are you running into a case where it doesn't? [22:33] Jordan_U: yes, btSync just simply does not follow the symlinks because they dont support it at this point [22:33] Hi, Is there anyway to encrypt all the emails in the inbox? I know how can I send encrypted emails using public key with enigmail and Thunderbird. I am using IMAP and I would like to have all of my emails encrypted on the server. [22:33] Jordan_U i've never used linux but couldn't you just do 'sudo apt-get update' and it would update all the software in the packages? [22:33] that you've installed [22:34] Shakaz: it just updates the repos list ... you ned upgrade [22:34] therefore updating all the software in the respositores? [22:34] Shakaz: updateing the system updates them to whatever is in the repos. [22:34] Shakaz: "sudo apt-get update" will update all pacakges to the latest version available in the repositories for the specific release of Ubunut you're using. [22:34] oh ok. so i may as well just get 13.04 [22:34] * Shakaz goes to torrent it [22:34] legitly* [22:35] Shakaz: 13.10 is due out soon. ;) [22:35] http://askubuntu.com/questions/340194/how-to-convert-a-bios-boot-to-efi-boot-13-04-on-macbook-8-2 [22:35] ogreat [22:35] note the version is the year/month of release [22:35] Shakaz, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates [22:35] what can we expect from 13.10 over 13.04 [22:35] Dr_Willis can you upgrade manually inside ubuntu or do you hve to reinstall the iso and lose all of your data? [22:36] high_fiver, newer kernel, newer packages, Mir (I believe) [22:36] or should i just create a /home partition following a tutorial when ubuntu is installed [22:36] Shakaz: you can upgrade to the next RELEASE - yes [22:37] i'll probably end up dual booting with windows 7 as well. [22:37] a /home/ partion is a very good idea [22:37] Shakaz and backups [22:37] always backup. :) [22:37] i know i asked this yesterday but [22:38] if i have a 1TB HDD, and dual boot with windows 7, how much disk space should I leave for linux partition and windows 7 partition. [22:38] Shakaz: depends on the work you are doing. [22:38] i'd probably use a bit of linux but mainly windows. [22:38] so does someone know how I trick btSync into beliving that my symlinks are real folders ? [22:38] 30gb for linux can work. if you dont need a lot of space [22:38] hmm. === Dave is now known as Guest7784 [22:41] Hi, Is there anyway to encrypt all the emails in the inbox? I know how can I send encrypted emails using public key with enigmail and Thunderbird. I am using IMAP and I would like to have all of my emails encrypted on the server. [22:41] ^ [22:41] so leet :D [22:42] mojtaba: I don't think so as long as you dont atually own the mailserver [22:42] Shakaz, I use 100gb for Ubuntu and that is plenty for me [22:43] lets be prepared for first schoolday tommorow, "What are you doing, how to get that layout on my windows 7" = Their reaction when they see ubuntu [22:43] how much do you use for your os NeonSpeed? (do you have a separate home partition) [22:43] ab3e: Cann't I encrypt them locally and because I am using IMAP, it would synchronize on the server? [22:43] JustAguy, lol. I remind going on a trip and one of the people had ubuntu loaded, i knew what it was but everyone looked at his computer and was like woah what is that. [22:44] * sepero uses 20GB partition for OS [22:44] xd [22:45] * sepero uses 20GB partition for OS, and it's only 42% filled [22:45] Shakaz, I use about 250gb for Windows, 100gb for Ubuntu and then I have another 100gb partition for backup (music, movies, and pics and stuff) [22:45] mojtaba: as far as I know imap hase just one direction it gives you the data but you can't alter the content thats on the server [22:45] so would a 10GB OS Partition be enough? [22:46] ab3e: When I put something in draft locally or I send email, it syncs it on the server. [22:46] and then maybe a 140-190GB for ubuntu (or is that too much)? === Olanzapine is now known as Olanzapin [22:46] Shakaz: If you're good at keeping old packages cleaned out, yes. Otherwise go with 15-20 [22:46] /home* not ubuntu [22:47] ok 20GB for OS decided. [22:47] then maybe 150 for /home [22:47] and the rest for windows. [22:47] *1TB HDD [22:47] sounds good [22:47] I can figure out why my web downloads are extremely slow on 13.04 [22:48] what's the deal with virtual filesystem ? why not just use a filesystem ? [22:48] can't* [22:48] now i need to figure out how to sort this out on a windows 8 machine and carry this out? [22:48] Shakaz first install windows, then ubuntu, or you will have to repair grub and get frustrated [22:48] windows 8 is preinstalled but i'm looking to boot windows 7 on it [22:48] and uninstall windows 8 completely [22:48] I can't get downloads to break 400kb/s and I have a 60mbps speed :/ [22:49] from speedtest.net? [22:50] My speed tests show 70mbps but my downloads never break 400kb/s [22:51] mojtaba: I kinda don't really understand what you want to achive with his form the first point, is on theire servers in clear text ... you betta belive me if I say that they have plenty copys already [22:54] guys to install mysql i net to install the "mysql-common" right ? [22:54] because the search gives me about 150 results lool [22:54] Extreminador: the mysql-server package should pull in what's relevant [22:54] daftykins thanks [22:55] np [22:55] ab3e: The thing is that, for using encryption I must have everybody's public key. But because I do not have that, and I do not want to store my emails in plain text on server, I am looking for a way to encrypt all of them. [22:57] mojtaba: you allready lost at the time they get your mail unencrypted. You don't get more security with a post encryption. === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [22:59] every non point to point encryption is useless [22:59] ab3e: What should I do after this? suppose I would like to send you an encrypted email, and I do not have your public key, or you do not even know what is that, what should I do then? [23:00] mojtaba: thets the problem of encryption and why almost no one cares to do it. You need to have the keys! If you dont just dont cause more airpoulution for useless encryption. [23:01] can i get some help please. [23:02] just ask [23:02] quick question [23:02] if say I dont like linux ubuntu for whatever reason [23:03] wrong channel. === BlackoutIsHere is now known as BlackoutIsHere|O [23:05] ok ive been trying to download and install the latest version of "seahorse passwords manager" for awhile now and im missing dependencies so i go find them download them then it turns out those have to be at a certain update so im stuck in this long loop and finding dependencies and I was wondering if there is some sort of ppa or repo that im missing that could make this much easier, im fairly new to linux btw === BlackoutIsHere|O is now known as BlackoutIsHere [23:05] actually it may be better here, what is a 'linux bootloader' when dualbooting? [23:05] alot of the dependencies that i search for in the software centre are outdated so i cannot use them [23:06] 'This will remove Linux's bootloader and replace it with Windows'.' [23:06] joshua__: you can't just 'apt-get install seahorse' ? [23:06] daftykins: i can but that will install an older version of seahorse and i need the latest version for things to work smoothly [23:07] phew. I got my info restored :) [23:07] joshua__: i see, does installing it that way not bring in the right dependancies so that your downloaded one works? === usb is now known as Guest89737 [23:08] wow. I've found turbo linux 6 on my hdd:) [23:09] daftykins:i tried but it still says im missing dependencies or they are not up to date like this for example one says "libgcr-3-1 (<=3.4.0) [23:09] Sudo apt-get install justaguyWantsTostayup Unable to locate package Reason: Go to sleep! [23:09] Goodnight all! [23:09] how did you do that [23:09] joshua__: than you need to find a trustwothy ppa for seahorse or you build it and search for the dependencys / dependencys ppas [23:09] daftykins: it specifically says dependency is not satisfiable: [23:09] Guest89737: i wrote it down manually :) [23:10] but goodnight ! [23:10] good man [23:10] lets don't wake up JustaMom [23:10] otherwise we have mad mom [23:11] one person suggested using raring's sources.list but im not sure how to do that [23:12] Why won't software center download google chrome? [23:12] NeonSpeed you need to search for chromium [23:12] that's the name for google chrome @ linux [23:12] google chrome is not in the default repos [23:12] google-chrome has its own ppa/repos you can enable if you want it [23:13] but i'm going to sleep, Dr_Willis have fun helping these people :D [23:13] cause right now im stuck searching through the internet to find all the dependencies (some are not even the version i needed) and then trying to install those, so if there was a way to have all the dependencies put into the software centre that would be great [23:13] ciao [23:13] I have chromium but I wanted to see if my downloads are slow in chrome too cause my downloads are waaaay to slow [23:13] joshua__: which ubuntu are you using to do this? [23:14] joshua__: alternativly you maybe just could use a different key manager if you dont find a solution for your problem [23:14] daftykins: lol welllll im not using ubuntu but im using elementary os luna and im pretty sure its based off of ubuntu so I didnt think it would be that hard to find dependencies [23:14] joshua__: can't help you then sorry [23:14] never mind it was google server that was slow, just downloaded a test file and it was good, but my software center is still extremely slow :/ [23:15] joshua__: its not about the problem finding it its about the point that you want to have the newest version [23:16] ab3e: correct [23:17] daftykins: can you send me the basic ppa's and repositorys that ubuntu uses though because maybe im missing some that have the dependencies branched off in them [23:18] halp === BlackoutIsHere is now known as BlackoutIsHere|O [23:20] hi [23:20] $ sudo swapon -v /dev/sda13 [23:20] swapon on /dev/sda13 [23:20] swapon: /dev/sda13: found swap signature: version 1, page-size 4, same byte order [23:20] swapon: /dev/sda13: pagesize=4096, swapsize=3221225472, devsize=3221225472 [23:20] swapon: /dev/sda13: swapon failed: Invalid argument [23:20] y u no swap ubuntoo???? [23:20] joshua__: you can't just mix and match like that [23:20] zq: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. === BlackoutIsHere|O is now known as BlackoutIsHere [23:21] ya i kinda figured that after i read it over lol sorry and thanks for trying [23:21] So... I'm low on disk space and I'm at a loss of what I can do about it... [23:22] Rallias: what's filling up? [23:22] Rallias: can't you just delete something? :) [23:22] daftykins, I currently have 95800 unused 1K-blocks [23:22] did you count them all? ;) [23:22] Dr_Willis, No, but df -a did [23:23] try a df -h :) makes it more readable [23:23] I have 94M/1.9G free. [23:24] Will I notice a performance difference if I uninstall programs I don't use? [23:24] NeonSpeed: if they are not running.. not really [23:24] NeonSpeed, If they're running yes, otherwise no. [23:24] NeonSpeed, chances are you will not [23:25] I feel like I'm not getting the performance I should be. What are some system programs that would be running that I could go without? [23:25] NeonSpeed, Desktop or server? [23:25] Rallias, Desktop [23:25] Ubuntu variant? [23:26] I know I have plenty of ram and cpu but still seems to run slightly slow. [23:26] Rallias, 13.04 [23:26] NeonSpeed, probably a graphics card driver prob then [23:26] NeonSpeed, Go into top, get me the %WA number [23:26] Best Speed boost ive seen... get a SSD ;) [23:26] Rallias: that's not a big drive :D are you trying to upgrade a VM or something? [23:26] NeonSpeed, that causes your card to underperform [23:26] Rallias: i take it you've cleared your apt cache? [23:26] daftykins, It's the xen host node, I'm just trying to get it to quit complaining. [23:27] And yes, I did apt-get clean. [23:27] Rallias, not sure how to do that or what you're talking about? [23:27] NeonSpeed, Open a terminal, run "top" [23:27] Hi [23:27] kostkon, So it might be cause I'm running integrated video on a laptop? [23:27] There's a few numbers near the top near %WA, %ID, etc [23:27] Can somebody help a noob? [23:28] NeonSpeed, which one [23:28] !manual | Oliver_ [23:28] Oliver_: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [23:28] Actually, on ubunutu there doesn't seem to be a % [23:28] Dr_Willis: Thanks [23:28] kostkon, I'll have to look up exactly what card it is. [23:28] Rallias: you could try tune2fs to remove root's reserved space on the file system [23:28] Rallias, which number do you need? [23:28] I'm on 12.043 though Dr_Willis [23:28] NeonSpeed, The one next to wa [23:29] Oliver_: dosent really matter much. they also may have older copies of that manual at teh site [23:29] ok [23:29] thanks [23:29] Rallias, I don't see WA anywhere? [23:29] Just need to connect to wifi [23:29] NeonSpeed, Third line, begins with %Cpu(s), it's in the middle. [23:30] Rallias, I see the CPU% one but nothing with WA% [23:30] It's lowercase, no % on ubuntu [23:31] Actually, give me that whole line. [23:32] I have PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND [23:33] NeonSpeed, 4 lines up [23:33] Rallias, Oooooh ok sorry I see it now, the number is going from 0.0 to 0.5 [23:34] NeonSpeed, Mind giving me the whole line? [23:36] Rallias, the numbers are kinda jumping around, us is around 2.2-3.2, sy is 0.8-1.2, ni 0, id 96.7, wa 0.3, hi 0.0, si 0.2, st 0.o [23:36] hello guys! I've been using Ubuntu for a while, but I've never played with non-intel graphics. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good card to buy for use with open source drivers [23:36] kostkon, Video is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 Graphics [23:37] NeonSpeed, ati right [23:38] Honestly, it looks like something kernelside is causing you grief. [23:38] kostkon, Yeah its ATI [23:38] NeonSpeed, which driver are you using? did you get an option to install the one from ati? [23:38] !ati [23:38] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [23:38] kostkon, No I just used the one that installed with the OS [23:40] NeonSpeed, probably the open source one. You could go into your system settings, click on software sources and then check in the last tab [23:41] kostkon, Additional Drivers has nothing in the list [23:42] NeonSpeed, right ok [23:42] kostkon, Is there a driver I should download from the web? [23:44] NeonSpeed, probably. it depends on the model. but have a look at this here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [23:44] ATI 2xxx 3xxx 4xxx are no longer supported by the closed driver, opensource driver should work. [23:45] NeonSpeed, lets see which one you have: in the terminal give: lspci | grep VGA [23:45] He's already declared he has a 4250 [23:45] help me, no puedo instalar aegisub en ubuntu 12.04 [23:45] Rallias, oh [23:45] kostkon, One step ahead of you. 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS880M [Mobility Radeon HD 4225/4250] [23:46] NeonSpeed, not much you could do then [23:46] gabriel44, #Ubuntu-es [23:46] !es | gabriel44 [23:46] gabriel44: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [23:46] Can somebody help me connect to wifi? [23:46] My network isn't showing up [23:46] 12.043 [23:46] Gracias [23:46] kostkon, It's not running real slow but I feel like the OS should be quicker with the ram and cpu I have [23:46] Can somebody help me connect to wifi? [23:46] My network isn't showing up [23:47] NeonSpeed, actually, could you describe the type of slowness you are getting. i mean, just give an example [23:47] Oliver_: what model is your wireless? [23:47] can someone tell me what this error means and what i can do to workaround it http://pastebin.com/JQw1d8ev [23:48] daftykins: Not sure. It's broadcom though [23:48] NeonSpeed, Honestly, if you have a laptop with a graphics card AMD no longer supports, I think the CPU might not have the oomph you think it does. [23:48] joshua__, elementry os has its own issues. [23:48] Oliver_: has the (laptop?) in question got a working wired connection? [23:48] kostkon, Browser takes a bit to open up and a couple other programs, but animations and everything are smooth and clear just some programs take some time to fully startup [23:48] It hasn't been connected to wired ethernet in over 6 months, so no [23:49] I don't have an outlet for ethernet in my room daftykins [23:49] I have a beginner software sources question. How do i fix this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/6053242/ [23:49] NeonSpeed, maybe your hdd is just too damn slow :P [23:49] joshua__: you're not using ubuntu. therefore you cannot get any support in here. i have already made this clear [23:49] NeonSpeed, what are the specs, cpu? ram? [23:49] kostkon, Could be it's only 5400 [23:49] Oliver_: you can't take it to the router and cable it in temporarily? [23:50] NeonSpeed, it could be 4800 or i dont know what else [23:50] I could daftykins [23:50] yep, 5400 is kinda slow, especially ig its non sata [23:50] NeonSpeed, What proc and ram? [23:50] daftykins: Should I do that? [23:51] Rallias, kostkon, CPU is AMD Athlon 2.20 dual-core and ram has been upgraded to max 8gb [23:51] energizer1, the ppa is called unityshell-rotated and has no raring packages >> https://launchpad.net/~paullo612/+archive/unityshell-rotated [23:51] Oliver_: yeah and fully update and upgrade, then use paste.ubuntu.com to show me the output of "lspci" and "lsusb" on that computer [23:51] NeonSpeed, What model? [23:51] also running 64bit 13.04 [23:51] NeonSpeed, that's more than enough for ubuntu [23:51] yeah [23:51] daftykins: OK. Give me a few minutes. [23:52] Rallias, What model what? CPU, or laptop? [23:52] CPU [23:52] he said it was a 2.2 athlon [23:52] 2.20GHz VISION Technology from AMD with AMD Athlon II Dual-Core Processor for Notebook PCs P340 [23:52] kostkon, So you think its cause of the slow hard drive? [23:53] Eh, that's not too old. [23:53] Thanks OerHeks. [23:53] Johnny_Linux, Athlon is a line they've been using for AGES. [23:54] Beginner question 2: What is this problem and how do i fix it? http://paste.ubuntu.com/6053258/ [23:54] i have a couple of them, they do run alittle on the slow side, due to the 5400 speed, other than that, they are fine [23:55] Johnny_Linux, Yeah the original drive died so I bought a 500gb 5400 which the original was a 5400 too [23:55] youll be fine [23:55] NeonSpeed, what's the amount of swap youve got and how much is in use right now? [23:55] Honestly, it's 2010 era technology. It's not horrible, but it's oldish compared to modern stuff. [23:55] It's not terribly slow but I just thought it would be faster [23:56] daftykins: Ok, it's Oliver_ I'm on wired connection. Now what? [23:56] NeonSpeed, give: free -m also check in "top" [23:56] NeonSpeed, I once thought a Celeron 1.3 GHz was fast... things age and feel slower over time. [23:56] Rallias, I'm not sure I just selected install along side Windows 7 [23:57] daftykins: Ok, it's Oliver_ I'm on wired connection. Now what? [23:57] Oliver__: do what i said before :D [23:57] daftykins: Which was? [23:57] Oliver__: run "lspci" and "lsusb" in a terminal, then use paste.ubuntu.com to share the output with me. [23:57] Unfortunately, I've been unable to use that machine since 11.04 came out. [23:58] kostkon, How do I do that top free -m? [23:58] NeonSpeed, with the amount of ram youve got, you could use preload. although, it could make matters worse: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/speed-up-your-ubuntu-12-04-with-preload.html [23:59] daftykins: How do I copy it? [23:59] select it - done [23:59] NeonSpeed, in the terminal, give: free -m then check in top, by giving: top [23:59] kostkon, what should I look for in top now?
