| daftykins | gool / threh - was it something well known? | 00:00 |
| gool | i think so | 00:00 |
| threh | Somewhat | 00:00 |
| gool | i dont even know if he used my solution | 00:00 |
| gool | heh | 00:00 |
| threh | xbacklight works now to | 00:00 |
| gool | right on | 00:00 |
| gool | yeah, his hp FN hotkeys werent working | 00:01 |
| daftykins | oh right | 00:01 |
| gool | i think its pretty common, though | 00:01 |
| daftykins | what's the procedure there out of interest? module loading? | 00:01 |
| gool | few ways to go around it | 00:01 |
| gool | the ways i suggested were xbacklight, which allows you to change screen brightness through terminal. | 00:01 |
| gool | and command line based keyboard functions | 00:02 |
| daftykins | mm-hmm | 00:02 |
| gool | but he said his setting was saved as nomode , which meant no hotkeys were activated | 00:02 |
| gool | and just running xbacklight forced them on | 00:02 |

| delinquentme | the ./configure files used for building a package are shell scripts right? Such as this guy: https://gist.github.com/delinquentme/f4d2a09e63144e461b02 | 00:04 |

| daftykins | maybe it's worth you resetting your unity config | 00:33 |

| wilee-nilee | taylor_, Any boot menu? | 01:37 |
| taylor_ | wille-nilee nope, it shows the RoG splash then goes to the win 8 login like it did before i put ubuntu on it | 01:38 |
| taylor_ | wille-nilee it partitioned the hard drive tho, i can tell that much from the windows side | 01:38 |

| taylor_ | histo so i have to reinstall/fix grub!! yay my fav | 01:46 |
| Impossible | correct | 01:46 |
| wilee-nilee | taylor_, You have the windows backed up, the uefi setup is not just a simple grub fix, it is not even in the mbr. | 01:48 |
| histo | Impossible: I believe you can right click on the panel to move it | 01:48 |
| histo | taylor_: kind of. You need a valid efi applicatoin in /boot | 01:48 |
| taylor_ | yay, figured this new laptop would be the same as my other computers | 01:49 |
| histo | taylor_: running boot-repair should fix it | 01:49 |
| histo | taylor_: uefi is rather new. You did use a 64bit version of ubuntu right? | 01:49 |
| taylor_ | yes | 01:49 |
| Impossible | histo:gotcha thanks, i can also switch the minimize close and max to left right | 01:49 |
| histo | taylor_: A lot of people find it confusing but it's actually much nicer | 01:50 |
| r_rios | Almost solved. I followed the instructions here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/211464/how-to-remove-online-accounts-from-system-settings and the icon in system settings is gone, but empathy still doesn't seem to work. | 01:50 |

| wilee-nilee | taylor_, Save the url generated of the bootinfo summary in running the bootrepair app. | 01:50 |

| Extreminador | histo, yup... | 02:03 |
| histo | Extreminador: using what command? | 02:03 |
| xmetal | ah ... upgraded Clonezilla from my "2010" version and now it boots fine on my new laptop | 02:04 |
| xmetal | :) | 02:04 |
| daftykins | xmetal: send in the clone! | 02:04 |
| histo | Extreminador: you need to use gsettings something like gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri | 02:04 |
| histo | 'file:///home/serrano/Pictures/x.jpg' | 02:04 |
| Extreminador | ahhh histo i had that before but was not sure at the time why it was not working 100% the script sow i was traying to use the gcongtools-2 | 02:05 |
| histo | Extreminador: that should be set not get | 02:08 |
| xmetal | had looks like (even if i could gte that older version booted) i'd have to upgrade anyway to add ext4 support | 02:09 |
| xmetal | (Clonezilla i mean) | 02:10 |
| Extreminador | yehh histo i did understood... but histo the gconf command don't work why ? i asm asking this because the gconf to change the background variable works or at least it changes the supose preference | 02:10 |
| histo | Extreminador: different settings now in unity and/or gnome3 | 02:12 |
| Extreminador | ahhh histo ok... in that case i will change all other gconf command's and use the gsettings | 02:13 |

| Extreminador | because i can see some values/keys on gsettings that i can see on gconf | 02:25 |

| universal | wilee-nilee: addressing in what way ? you were answering some other ppl....so I asked and not addressed anything else except a question ! | 03:30 |

| Nisstyre-laptop | My system seems to be completely blocking whenever I do heavy I/O (e.g. when I launch firefox, xchat, or it just did it when I started an upgrade). None of my input devices work, so I guess it's some kind of scheduling deadlock. Any advice? | 03:31 |
| Nisstyre-laptop | I suspect rtkit but that's just a hunch | 03:31 |
| Nisstyre-laptop | the only way to "fix" it is to reboot, so it's definitely a deadlock | 03:31 |
| wilee-nilee | Nisstyre-laptop, Ah rootkit would have needed admin is this possible? | 03:32 |
| Nisstyre-laptop | wilee-nilee: you mean it would be doing this if it were not running under root? | 03:32 |
| Nisstyre-laptop | I don't see why it would cause deadlocks | 03:32 |
| wilee-nilee | no it needs admin to run hence "root" kit | 03:33 |
| Nisstyre-laptop | wilee-nilee: I'm not saying it's a rootkit | 03:33 |
| Nisstyre-laptop | http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/rtkit | 03:33 |
| wilee-nilee | Nisstyre-laptop, and this "I suspect rtkit but that's just a hunch" means? | 03:33 |
| Nisstyre-laptop | the reason I suspect that is because it handles process and thread scheduling, which would cause a deadlock | 03:33 |
| wilee-nilee | Nisstyre-laptop, You missed my point have you been loose in your apps run, or have a bad pasword...etc | 03:34 |
| Nisstyre-laptop | wilee-nilee: no | 03:35 |
| wilee-nilee | run in root when installing stuff..etc | 03:35 |
| wilee-nilee | meaning a rooted terminal | 03:35 |
| Nisstyre-laptop | wilee-nilee: I know what you meant, no I haven't been rooted | 03:36 |
| wilee-nilee | Nisstyre-laptop, Have you been installing without sudo in other words? | 03:36 |
| Nisstyre-laptop | my system is just deadlocking for some reason when I do things with heavy I/O | 03:36 |
| Nisstyre-laptop | wilee-nilee: I know what you mean, that's irrelevant | 03:36 |
| wilee-nilee | cool, I doubt a rootkit, but you could try chkroot and rkhunter | 03:36 |
| Nisstyre-laptop | that would not help at all | 03:36 |
| wilee-nilee | Nisstyre-laptop, Well you seem to know everything already so best of luck. | 03:37 |

| Pewp | I asked in #kubuntu but everyone seems asleep and this can apply to ubuntu also. I added 4 seperate ppa's, kubuntu backports, kubuntu/kde beta, and twoi other kde/kubuntu ones. They worked fine on my old install. But I just noticed after about a week of a new instalkl and having those ppas added via the add-repository tool, that they arent actually | 03:46 |
| Pewp | being used | 03:46 |
| Pewp | I can search for things in them, and they do not show even after an apt-get update | 03:46 |
| Pewp | And things that should be upgraded are not being upgraded | 03:46 |
| Pewp | How would I start troubleshooting this? | 03:47 |
| nerdtron | Pewp, remove the ppas, the apt-get update and upgrade... reboot,,, add the ppa again and apt-get update and upgrade | 03:48 |
| dr_willis | i would think backports and beta would be redundant or conflicting | 03:48 |
| Pewp | Alright, fair enough. | 03:48 |
| Pewp | dr_willis:negative | 03:48 |
| Pewp | it works finne | 03:48 |
| Pewp | I used that same setup for 2 yeafrs | 03:48 |
| Pewp | and multiple kmubuntu major versions | 03:48 |
| dr_willis | seems like backports would always be older versions then what would be in beta | 03:49 |
| Pewp | there is stuff not in beta | 03:49 |
| Pewp | like caligre | 03:49 |
| dr_willis | makes me wonder it got backported from. ;-) | 03:49 |
| wilee-nilee | space | 03:50 |
| Pewp | And i want to use caligre over libreoffice. And dpkg/apt is more than smart enough to do this stuff | 03:50 |
| Pewp | Its nice that KDE supports kubuntu so well. Its probably the best supported distro for kde there is. Especially with KDE-neon which i alsp use on occasion | 03:50 |
| dr_willis | actually backpouts come from the next release dont they? | 03:50 |
| Pewp | So test really new stuff | 03:50 |
| Pewp | caligre isnt in mirrors | 03:51 |
| Pewp | ppa only, kubuntu:backports | 03:51 |
| Pewp | Anyways, try the recommendation | 03:51 |
| dr_willis | that just seems weird. | 03:51 |
| Pewp | Ya, oh well | 03:51 |
| dr_willis | !backports | 03:51 |
| ubottu | If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 03:51 |
| Pewp | I cant help it | 03:51 |
| Pewp | I understand backports | 03:52 |
| Pewp | I used them on CentOS for a long time | 03:52 |
| Pewp | And backporting kernels | 03:52 |
| Pewp | ie features from 2.6.30 into 2.6.19 or whatever | 03:52 |
| dr_willis | i wouldent think a backport would have packages not in the normal repos. but kde may be weird | 03:53 |
| Pewp | there is kubuntu beta, kubuntu backports, and kubuntu beta backpoorts and one more. | 03:53 |
| universal | well I know all that....sometimes a persons repeatative addressal may seem to be rude but in the end it depends on personal intentions other than that addressing is not being rude to others, according to me, if anything it only signifies the person asked is knowldgeable thereby holding a higher ground and earning direct respect, however pointing out the rudeness on individual addressal when asking for help/answers solving a proble | 03:54 |
| Pewp | kubuntu experimental | 03:54 |
| Pewp | not beta, my mistake | 03:54 |
| Pewp | https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa | 03:54 |
| Pewp | I use all those besides staging obviously | 03:54 |

| witeshark | can someone please help with the right procedure with the 'no such partition' error + grub rescue prompt? | 04:21 |
| witeshark | also, how to mount and access the old partition with encryption? | 04:22 |

| unclezipper | Hey, does anybody in here have any experience with the S-video out on older Dell Latitude laptops? I have a D800, and I've read in a few places that people could just plug it in and it works(with Nvidia's drivers) | 04:24 |
| unclezipper | Of course, I don't know if there's any special setup required. I don't really have an S-video cable, but I have an S-video to composite adapter that I tried to use with no sucess. On that note, I've never used the adapter before so I don't know what's at fault | 04:24 |
| qin | Babalau: what happens if: postfix | 04:24 |
| Babalau | postfix: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directory | 04:25 |
| qin | Babalau: how did you install it? | 04:25 |
| Babalau | apt-get install mail-server^ | 04:26 |

| Babalau | unclezipper: doesen't work eighter | 04:28 |
| unclezipper | Babalau: Sounds like you had something weird happen... Did you have a power failure or anything during the install? | 04:28 |
| Babalau | unclezipper: yeah, that's the weird thing .... i didn't have a power failure | 04:29 |
| Babalau | i can't figure out what went wrong | 04:29 |
| Babalau | and nothing i did seems to be able to fix this | 04:29 |
| Babalau | but im sure there is a fix | 04:29 |

| unclezipper | Babalau: There's nothing too telling there... Did you try `sudo touch /etc/postfix/main.cf` and then running postfix? | 04:34 |
| Pew | Well, I removed the ppa,s updated repo cache as usual, rebooted, added just one ppa, updated, and again not working | 04:34 |
| Pew | But all my other ppas work | 04:34 |
| unclezipper | I have no idea what happened, or what is supposed to go in main.cf | 04:34 |
| Babalau | unclezipper: well.. that i didnt try | 04:34 |
| devslash | how do I have ubuntu run a command which doesnt need root privileges when i boot my computer | 04:35 |
| unclezipper | Babalau: Give it a shot. Maybe if it finds a file there it'll do something | 04:35 |
| wilee-nilee | Pew, Have you checked the ppa has your OS listed and the packages you want? | 04:35 |
| Pew | wilee-nilee:of course | 04:35 |
| Pew | im looking right at them | 04:35 |
| Pew | this onl,y happened after a fresh install | 04:35 |
| wilee-nilee | any errors? | 04:35 |
| Babalau | unclezipper: well.. im getting different errors with apt-get remove now ... will touch the missing files aswell | 04:35 |
| Pew | wilee-nilee:none, the packages just arent in the apt ache | 04:35 |
| wilee-nilee | Pew, You ran a update after adding the ppa? | 04:36 |
| Pew | of course | 04:36 |
| Pew | already said that | 04:36 |
| Babalau | well ... | 04:36 |
| * Pew doesnt come here to ask dumb questions :P | 04:36 | |
| unclezipper | devslash: My understanding, though I've never done it, is that you can use `sudo -u zipper` to run a command as a user named zipper | 04:36 |
| Babalau | unclezipper: after touching some other files, the one that did it was touch /etc/init.d/postfix | 04:37 |
| devslash | unclezipper thats not what i mean | 04:37 |
| devslash | i want to run a command automatically when i boot ubuntu | 04:37 |
| unclezipper | devslash: Do you mean when the computer boots, or when you first log in? | 04:37 |
| devslash | either one | 04:37 |
| devslash | doesnt matter | 04:38 |
| Pew | log in is really easy | 04:38 |
| Pew | session settiongs | 04:38 |
| Babalau | thx unclezipper for the ideea | 04:38 |
| Pew | i dont use unity, but im sure they have session settings | 04:38 |
| unclezipper | Babalau: Not a problem... Hope it points you in the right direction | 04:38 |
| devslash | how do i do that | 04:38 |
| Pew | You add it there, and it loads on login | 04:38 |
| Babalau | unclezipper: worked :) | 04:38 |
| Pew | nerdtron:any ideas why these ppas still wont work? | 04:39 |
| unclezipper | devslash: It depends on the desktop enviroment you use. Do you use XFCE, KDE, or one of the ones that's not so good | 04:39 |
| Pew | devslash:settings or wherever its called in unity, and session | 04:39 |
| devslash | im using whatever gui you get with ubuntu | 04:39 |
| devslash | unity | 04:39 |
| Pew | right | 04:40 |
| Pew | i just told you, go to settings | 04:40 |
| Pew | and look for the sessions options | 04:40 |
| unclezipper | Babalau: Awesome. Does postfix work as expected? | 04:40 |
| devslash | i dont have sessions there | 04:40 |

| wood_quinn | ghostx562: Rather than hiding lmgtfy behind a URL shortener, you could have read the search results yourself and discovered all of those are for ENcoders. | 05:28 |
| ghostx562 | memand, probably means that the current kernal the server is using, doesn't support such feature? | 05:28 |

| ghostx562 | memand, depends, if its a newer kernal version it might not be an added feature just yet. | 05:32 |

| wood_quinn | You may be then. I'd ask them and if they say no, look at the Google results for that error message. | 05:41 |
| wood_quinn | Another possible cause is that the way NFS support is checked for in the kernel. | 05:42 |
| wood_quinn | Or that the kernel really doesn't have it built in. | 05:42 |

| gulzar | UEFI problem. Ubuntu is on /dev/sda8. UEFI vfat is /dev/sda2. Where to mount it? How to do grub-install? What exactly are the commands? I tried boot-repair but it messed the bios/boot order menu. I want to do these settings manually. Insalling on mbr was easy. How to do it via termianl? | 06:05 |
| dr_willis | wood_quinn: yes it should | 06:06 |
| xmetal | hmm .back... was messing with Clonezilla for a bit | 06:07 |
| wood_quinn | Then maybe there's a problem with the device, its cable, the port on the machine, or the USB controller. | 06:08 |

| ubottu | gulzar,: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 06:08 |

| jiku | hello all.. | 06:13 |
| cfhowlett | jiku, greetings | 06:14 |
| jiku | im installing ubuntu 13.04 as a VM in a libvirt-kvm environment with Gentoo.. | 06:14 |
| jiku | reached at the GRUB installation stage.. | 06:14 |
| Jordan_U | gulzar: Probably. Even if not, /boot/efi/ is standard and so you might as well use it. Note that /boot/ should *not* be the ESP. | 06:14 |
| jiku | it is not proceeding after that.. | 06:15 |
| jiku | its just coming in look | 06:15 |
| jiku | *loop | 06:15 |
| gulzar | Jordan_U: Got it. I messed with /boot earlier.. I will try with /boot/efi | 06:15 |
| wood_quinn | UEFI is a nightmare that has provided none of the improvements over BIOS that I was hoping for. | 06:15 |
| gulzar | wood_quinn: Its good If I don't have to dualboot with win8 (for some syllabus specific apps and gaming). rest itsjsut useless | 06:16 |
| jiku | any ideas? | 06:16 |
| wood_quinn | gulzar: It's not "good" if it provides a pain in the arse sometimes but not all the time. | 06:17 |
| wood_quinn | Especially considering BIOS didn't provide that pain in the arse near-DRM non-feature. | 06:17 |
| gulzar | wood_quinn: mmmm kk . I am too messing with it. Lets see if succeed | 06:17 |
| wood_quinn | The one thing with UEFI that I was looking forward to was the inclusion of drivers directly on the board. | 06:18 |
| wood_quinn | I had no idea how they'd pull it off, but was attracted to the idea of not having to relu on manufacturers for non-Windows drivers. | 06:19 |
| wood_quinn | Of course I'm not exactly falling over myself writing a BIOS replacement so. | 06:21 |
| * wood_quinn shrugs | 06:21 | |
| gulzar | wood_quinn: I tried. rebooting | 06:22 |

| D30 | hi everyone.. just need to ask some newbie question.. | 08:09 |
| D30 | ive setup ubuntu 12.04 server for practice.. | 08:09 |
| D30 | ive supplied the correct ip but i cant still ping any site | 08:09 |
| D30 | i also wanst able to ping the ubuntu machine remotely.. | 08:09 |
| D30 | ive supplied the correct public ip though | 08:10 |
| DuncanNZ | D30: can you verify there is an internet connection? | 08:10 |
| gordonjcp | D30: "supplied the correct ip" to what? | 08:10 |
| D30 | DuncanNZ: yes there is.. as ive used this ip in my other box and it connect to the internet | 08:11 |
| D30 | gordonjcp: supplied it to my ubuntu server... | 08:11 |
| DuncanNZ | D30: so to clarify, you can't ping anything at all? | 08:11 |
| DuncanNZ | eg. ping google.com | 08:11 |
| D30 | yes DuncanNZ | 08:11 |
| D30 | eventhough the gateway ip | 08:11 |
| DuncanNZ | so clearly there is no network connection | 08:11 |
| softmanpetro | Logwatch mail tells me that Logged 19 packets on interface i0 | 08:12 |
| softmanpetro | does that means successfull connections ? | 08:12 |
| softmanpetro | for example From 59.76.117.117 - 1 packet to tcp(4899) | 08:12 |
| D30 | it says Destination Host Unreachable when pinging gateway.. | 08:12 |
| DuncanNZ | D30: please run ifconfig | pastebinit and post the URL | 08:12 |
| D30 | ok DuncanNZ | 08:12 |
| DuncanNZ | actually sorry that won't work with no internet | 08:12 |
| DuncanNZ | just run ifconfig and tell me what you see below the eth0 or relevant interface | 08:13 |
| DuncanNZ | you should see something like inet addr:192.168.1.1 | 08:13 |
| DuncanNZ | D30:^ | 08:13 |
| D30 | yes there is DuncanNZ | 08:13 |
| DuncanNZ | what is the ip? | 08:13 |
| D30 | theres inet addr:108.171.41.20 | 08:14 |
| D30 | DuncanNZ: | 08:14 |
| DuncanNZ | D30: hmm that's not in the private range so that seems odd for the local IP address | 08:14 |
| D30 | DuncanNZ: its public :) | 08:15 |
| D30 | ive used it in my windows machine and i can connect to the internet | 08:15 |
| DuncanNZ | D30: well I don't understand using a public IP for a local network so I guess I'm the wrong person to talk to it about if it is possible | 08:16 |
| DuncanNZ | why aren't you just using a private IP and portforwarding the relevant ports | 08:16 |
| D30 | DuncanNZ: im using a server for testing | 08:17 |
| Jordan_U | D30: If you've configured a gatway then you almost by definition have a private ip address. I think in Windows you were probably using port forwarding and not realizing that the interface on the machine itself was configured with a local ip. | 08:17 |
| D30 | even the gateway is unreachable | 08:17 |
| softmanpetro | Logwatch mail tells me that Logged 19 packets on interface int0 for example From 59.76.117.117 - 1 packet to tcp(4899) in the block marked as iptables firewall Begin ----------- | 08:17 |
| D30 | im using 12.04 server btw.. | 08:17 |
| softmanpetro | are this unresponsive packets or dropped ones ? | 08:18 |
| blazemore | D30: Is this a server in a datacentre, or on your home connection? | 08:18 |
| Jordan_U | D30: Probably because it has a private ip address, which isn't within the "network" you've configured your interface to use. | 08:18 |
| D30 | yes blazemore it is.. i forgot to mention that | 08:18 |
| DuncanNZ | D30: what Jordan_U said. Use a private IP and portforward. Otherwise that just makes no sense. | 08:18 |
| blazemore | D30: Your provider should give you the correct network settings to use | 08:18 |
| blazemore | D30: Also you just answered "yes" to an either/or question | 08:19 |
| D30 | blazemore: yes they are .. other servers work though... | 08:19 |
| D30 | im not sure if this is a problem with my server config.. but this is a fresh server | 08:19 |
| Jordan_U | D30: I don't see where you provided a link to the output of "ifconfig". Could you post that link please. | 08:19 |
| blazemore | D30: Do you know the network information you're supposed to use? IP/gateway etc? | 08:19 |
| Jordan_U | ? | 08:19 |
| D30 | yes blazemore i know | 08:20 |
| DuncanNZ | Jordan_U: he has no internet connection so can't upload it too easily | 08:20 |

| jongleur | the error message in the log files of openstack is this: http://paste.openstack.org/show/45720/ | 08:28 |
| jongleur | which I found is usually being because of tgtd not running | 08:29 |
| jongleur | and that's the case for me: tgtd isn't running. So I'm not focused on an upstart script as long as I get it to run (and to start on boot) | 08:29 |
| blazemore | jongleur: you need to install the tgtadm package and then create a mount point with the name. Check the cinder part of this doc: http://docs.openstack.org/grizzly/basic-install/apt/content/basic-install_controller.html#basic-install_controller-nova | 08:31 |
| jongleur | blazemore: I know, that's exactly the guide I followed | 08:32 |
| jongleur | tgtadm is installed, tgtadm command is available, but tgtd is not running and the stacktrace is what's in the log like posted above. | 08:32 |
| jongleur | so far it's not new - and it didn't help ;) but thanks. Any further hints or ideas welcome ;) | 08:33 |

| blazemore | universal: Yes the top answer there is good advice | 08:57 |
| blazemore | Ipsilon: Where did you install the microcode? | 08:57 |

| D30 | hi blazemore i corrected it alreayd but still the same | 08:59 |
| blazemore | D30: Does the eth1 network device actually exist? | 09:00 |
| D30 | yes blazemore it iexist.. | 09:00 |
| Ipsilon | I'll try that, but I thought I had already tried that to no avail | 09:00 |
| Ipsilon | the problem is that the 0seconds grub make it a 1/20 attempt to access recovery mode | 09:00 |
| blazemore | D30: So to clarify: You added the configuration information for your new interface in /etc/network/interfaces and ran "sudo service networking restart" but ifconfig isn't showing the new interface? | 09:01 |
| D30 | yes blazemore | 09:01 |
| blazemore | Ipsilon: Hold shift during bootup to go to the Grub menu | 09:01 |
| Ipsilon | ugh, thanks. holding the arrow keys wasn't working. | 09:01 |
| blazemore | Is isn't supposed to | 09:02 |
| blazemore | Who told you to do that? | 09:02 |
| Ipsilon | WEll, it's supposed to hold the grub in a normal distro that presents the grub screen | 09:02 |
| Ipsilon | it worked a few times | 09:02 |
| blazemore | Grub will display on a multiboot system, but if Ubuntu is the only one, by default is is hidden | 09:02 |

| blazemore | loco: What exact folder? | 09:16 |
| loco | "/etc/apt" | 09:17 |
| blazemore | Oh that's not so bad, I think the only important file in there is sources.list and you can regenerate on at http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ | 09:17 |
| loco | I actually tried to write "/etc/apt" for about 5 times. | 09:18 |

| velho | hello! I need some help, please | 10:44 |
| Vilhyma | Hello velho | 10:44 |
| bosnjak | Vilhyma, you should enter that phrase in google, several solutions pop up | 10:44 |
| Vilhyma | Yup i've already done that, but none has that issue while installing ubuntu | 10:45 |

| Vilhyma | Thank you | 10:47 |
| velho | expect, in the console? | 10:47 |
| blazemore | velho: Did you try Googling "ubuntu reset password" ? | 10:48 |
| jiku | hello any hint on the issue im facing? | 10:48 |
| expect | I assume you can't reach the console if you forgot the password | 10:48 |

| velho | I don't use ubuntu for months!! I just want to make some updates... | 10:48 |
| blazemore | velho: You forgot your password, nobody else, stop making out like this is some major Ubuntu problem | 10:49 |
| blazemore | velho: I suggest you follow one of the many tutorials all over the Internet, which you can find by googling "ubuntu reset password" | 10:49 |
| cfhowlett | velho, what he said ... | 10:49 |
| cfhowlett | !password|velho, | 10:50 |
| ubottu | velho,: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords | 10:50 |
| BluesKaj | 'Morning all | 10:50 |
| velho | blazemore, no need to be agressive. I've never said it was a major ubuntu problem. relax | 10:50 |

| whiteshark | any1 experience with pxe install ubuntu 12.04 (full install over network) | 10:51 |
| Vilhyma | to this command "cd /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd" it answered "can't cd to /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd" | 10:51 |
| cfhowlett | whiteshark, the #ubuntu-server channel most likely | 10:52 |
| babilen | whiteshark: You might have better chances asking in #ubuntu-server and by refraining from using "any1" but "anyone" ;) | 10:52 |
| whiteshark | tnx, u right | 10:52 |
| babilen | oh, and s/u/you/ </nitpick> | 10:52 |
| Vilhyma | ^^ | 10:52 |
| BluesKaj | !u | bab | 10:53 |
| ubottu | bab: U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' nor 'Ur' are words in the English language. Neither are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'ryt', 'Ne1' nor 'Bcuz'.

| velho | ubotu, isn't this risky? "This procedure gives you a full root shell! You can damage your system if you are not careful! " | 10:53 |
| velho | ubottu, isn't this risky? "This procedure gives you a full root shell! You can damage your system if you are not careful! " | 10:53 |
| ubottu | velho: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 10:53 |
| cfhowlett | velho, yes it's risky which is why you proceed with due caution. | 10:54 |
| cfhowlett | velho, but it does work if you do EXACTLY the process given | 10:54 |
| velho | cfhowlett, ok, thank you :) | 10:54 |
| opilane | tere | 10:55 |
| velho | cfhowlett, but can I recover/reset the password without changing any customization already made? | 10:55 |
| |ryan| | the likelihood of actullay breaking something while in a root shell is nonexistant | 10:56 |
| cfhowlett | velho, resetting the password will get you back into your system. nothing more or less. | 10:56 |
| |ryan| | unless of course you decide to do something super smart like doing rm -rf * while in / | 10:56 |
| |ryan| | but thats about it | 10:56 |
| Galaxor | Hi. I'm running an fsck. I know the disk is messed up, but it's been printing out stuff like -(77574711--77574712) for hours. That doesn't seem like a good sign. | 10:56 |
| velho | cfhowlett, thank you for the clarification :D | 10:56 |
| Galaxor | What is all that about? | 10:57 |
| cfhowlett | Galaxor, yep, not a good sign. could be your drive is failing. they do that. | 10:57 |
| NET||abuse | blazemore: hi , was in a meeting, from earlier, re gtg hamster plugin, you missed I had posted the full error (http://pastebin.com/iweVLZyL) but that's ok | 10:57 |
| NET||abuse | if you have any idea/advice, much appreciated :) | 10:57 |
| blazemore | NET||abuse: it looks like there's a bug at the moment. Someone's written a patch, but it hasn't been built https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtg/+bug/947568 | 10:59 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 947568 in Getting Things GNOME! "[hamster-plugin] Don't start hamster new activity" [High,Triaged] | 10:59 |
| NET||abuse | the moment. Some | 10:59 |
| NET||abuse | uhmm, huh, that was incomplete thought! ;P | 10:59 |
| blazemore | that was a middle-click accident? | 10:59 |
| Galaxor | cfhowlett: The drive was failing. I copied this virtual disk image off of it using dd_rescue. That's what I'm fscking. | 10:59 |
| velho | cfhowlett, ! AHA! I remembered the password :D thank you for all the great support, OpenFriends :) | 10:59 |
| NET||abuse | blazemore: yup :) | 11:00 |
| whiteshark | any1 able to help on PXE issues? server channel not responding sry | 11:00 |
| cfhowlett | Galaxor, dd from a known failing drive? well, GIGO. Hope for the best, but warm of the backups ... just in cae. | 11:00 |
| expect | what's the issue whiteshark | 11:01 |
| sharpshooter | how to can I get live update of my log file using cat command in ubuntu ? | 11:01 |
| blazemore | sharpshooter: use tail -f, not cat | 11:01 |
| expect | tail -f | 11:01 |
| sharpshooter | thanks :) | 11:02 |
| whiteshark | have real issue with a full install over pxe, mid-pre-install it asked me to give the mirror server, i dont have inet on those machi | 11:02 |
| NET||abuse | blazemore: wonder if bulding gtg or hamster from git is a practical thing to do right now? | 11:02 |
| blazemore | NET||abuse: It depends if you really want it or not | 11:02 |
| whiteshark | servers, so i have my own http server with a mounted iso in /www/ubuntu/ | 11:02 |
| Galaxor | cfhowlett: What do all of these numbers mean? Is it printing out every inode number? Does that mean it's done and it's just giving me information? Is it stuck in a loop and will never be done? | 11:02 |
| whiteshark | the installation refuses the mirror | 11:03 |
| NET||abuse | blazemore: well, any tim etracker that i can plug into from a task list, that's all i need | 11:03 |
| whiteshark | google talks abut some casper folder | 11:03 |
| NET||abuse | for extra points, if i can sync the task list from android ( no need to sync the timer) | 11:03 |
| whiteshark | but none of my iso's contain any folder named casper | 11:03 |
| blazemore | NET||abuse: What about a web-based one? | 11:03 |
| cfhowlett | Galaxor, my non-expert understanding is that the numbers refer to an image address (inode?). I would think that so long as the feedback shows advancing numbers, it's progressing. BUT I'm no expert. | 11:04 |
| NET||abuse | blazemore: nah, integration is key with time tracker, webbased is so slow and doesn't have presence in the workspace, | 11:04 |
| NET||abuse | Needs to be a client app that is integrated into the notification area | 11:05 |
| Galaxor | cfhowlett: All right. I'll keep it running and cross my fingers. There was about 250k of corruption in a 50G file. I hope there's enough that the system is still useful. | 11:07 |
| cfhowlett | Galaxor, if the filesystem is corrupted you're better off reinstalling. | 11:08 |
| santhosh | hai i have doubt on lubuntu wine if anyone knows pls tell me | 11:13 |

| matzipan | hey guys.... I'm trying to deploy a small vm cluster on 2 quad core machines... what do you recommend? openstack seems to be a bit too complicated for the job | 11:27 |
| sharpshooter | santhosh, because the exe is not compatible with the file saas32.exe | 11:27 |
| matzipan | nobody in #ubuntu-server is answwering | 11:27 |
| MonkeyDust | Ludovik yes, it's optimized for windows, mac or Oracle Linux | 11:28 |

| chemaher76 | hola | 11:36 |
| Wiz_KeeD | anyone? | 11:37 |
| Wiz_KeeD | help adding nodejs to path so I can install npm? | 11:37 |
| jrib | Wiz_KeeD: aren't those things available through apt? | 11:37 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I don't think so | 11:37 |
| jrib | !info nodejs | 11:37 |
| ubottu | nodejs (source: nodejs): Node.js event-based server-side javascript engine. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.6.19~dfsg1-5ubuntu1 (raring), package size 767 kB, installed size 2537 kB | 11:37 |
| jrib | !info npm | 11:38 |
| ubottu | npm (source: npm): package manager for Node.js. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.1.4~dfsg-2 (raring), package size 334 kB, installed size 1092 kB | 11:38 |
| Wiz_KeeD | as this tutorial suggests https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Etherpad-liteInstallation | 11:38 |
| jrib | Wiz_KeeD: use apt | 11:38 |
| Wiz_KeeD | and I could have done the same with nodejs? :\ | 11:38 |
| jrib | Wiz_KeeD: that tutorial says to use apt first | 11:38 |
| Wiz_KeeD | It suggests adding some repository that's not official | 11:38 |
| Wiz_KeeD | which I wanted to avoid | 11:39 |
| jrib | Wiz_KeeD: although it also says you need a ppa which isn't true. Right. You don't need to add the ppa | 11:39 |
| Wiz_KeeD | pfff, fuck | 11:39 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Now that nodejs is installed from source...can npm be installed from apt-get and work? | 11:39 |
| BluesKaj | Wiz_KeeD, no need for that kind of language | 11:39 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I'm sorry about that, apologies | 11:40 |
| Wiz_KeeD | bad habbit | 11:40 |
| jrib | Wiz_KeeD: I don't know. I would suggest uninstalling your version and using apt so you don't have to manage it yourself in the future | 11:40 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I have no idea how to safely uninstall what I've done with the tutorial jrib | 11:40 |
| jrib | Wiz_KeeD: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Etherpad suggests etherpad has erepositories | 11:41 |
| NET||abuse | hmm, | 11:41 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I'm in too deep now :( | 11:41 |
| NET||abuse | ok, I installed gtg from the dail ppa, other issues happening :) i guess that is to be expected | 11:41 |
| jrib | Wiz_KeeD: although that page is also a year old, so you want to check other sources to make sure it's still accurate | 11:41 |
| NET||abuse | so need to roll back to stable ppa and see if that's any better. | 11:42 |
| auronandace | !checkinstall | Wiz_KeeD For future reference when you need to install via source | 11:42 |
| ubottu | Wiz_KeeD For future reference when you need to install via source: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 11:42 |
| jrib | Wiz_KeeD: did you use sudo at any point? | 11:42 |
| usr13 | Wiz_KeeD: There may be an uninstall script in the tarball. | 11:42 |
| santhosh | hai i have doubt on lubuntu wine if anyone knows pls tell me | 11:43 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I'm pretty scared to do things I don't know since it's a production server, localhost would have been no problem | 11:43 |
| Wiz_KeeD | jrib, just to install npm thing | 11:43 |
| jrib | Wiz_KeeD: sudo bash npm-install-*.sh? This? | 11:43 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I tried that and it said it nodejs was not in the path | 11:44 |
| Wiz_KeeD | then i did sudo apt-get install npm | 11:44 |
| jrib | Wiz_KeeD: what did you run with sudo? | 11:44 |
| Wiz_KeeD | jrib, sorry? | 11:44 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I just did exactly as the tutorial stated, almost word for word | 11:44 |
| usr13 | Wiz_KeeD: THen you installed it via apt (the package manager). | 11:44 |
| Wiz_KeeD | usr13, the npm package yes...nodejs I did it from source | 11:45 |
| usr13 | Wiz_KeeD: Oh | 11:45 |
| Wiz_KeeD | now what... | 11:45 |
| jrib | Wiz_KeeD: if "sudo apt-get install npm" is the only thing you ran with sudo, then you should be ok afaict. You can just ignore what you did. If you want to remove it just delete the etherpad user and delete his home directory (/opt/etherpad) apparently. | 11:46 |
| Wiz_KeeD | really | 11:46 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ? | 11:46 |
| Wiz_KeeD | what about make, make install and the export to path? | 11:46 |
| jrib | Wiz_KeeD: yeah, everything just ends up being run as the "etherpad" user and put in /opt/etherpad so it's not doing anything system-wide | 11:46 |
| === milessabin_ is now known as milessabin | ||
| jrib | Wiz_KeeD: that just puts files in /opt/etherpad and affects the etherpad user's PATH | 11:47 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Yeah that I know should be ok, i'm worried about the make thing that lasted long and printed out a lot of text | 11:47 |
| Wiz_KeeD | so it has not contaminated any other libs like in /usb/bin or lib or stuff like that? | 11:47 |
| jrib | Wiz_KeeD: etherpad user doesn't have permissions to put files anywhere other than his home | 11:47 |
| jrib | Wiz_KeeD: right | 11:47 |
| Wiz_KeeD | and if I didn't use sudo it should be a-ok | 11:47 |
| jrib | Wiz_KeeD: right | 11:47 |
| Wiz_KeeD | You suggest I remove the tarball and what I've extracted and have a whack at sudo apt-get install nodejs? or would you advise against that? | 11:48 |
| jrib | Wiz_KeeD: what the tutorial suggests isn't awful, it will just be a pain to maintain because it doesn't use apt for software that's available through apt | 11:48 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I could leave it like this if it works since it's the latest version from the site, might be newer than the repository | 11:48 |
| jrib | Wiz_KeeD: sure | 11:49 |
| jrib | Wiz_KeeD: just make sure you keep track of security issues and update accordingly. | 11:49 |
| Wiz_KeeD | let me try, thanks for the reassurment jrib! I feel a bit better now | 11:49 |
| Wiz_KeeD | It makes sense what you have said, without sudo it could not have touched the /usb/ part and anywhere else in the system | 11:50 |
| pixam | hi all | 11:52 |
| Wiz_KeeD | before I go any further jrib should I install etherpad as the turoaial suggests? | 11:52 |
| jrib | Wiz_KeeD: I don't know anything about etherpad. I would suggest also looking at its official documentation and comparing | 11:53 |
| jrib | Wiz_KeeD: they used to provide an apt repository but that seems to be gone | 11:53 |
| Wiz_KeeD | pfff | 11:55 |
| Wiz_KeeD | jrib, You're running a wrong version of node, you're using v0.6.12, we need v0.8.x or v0.10.x :\ | 11:55 |
| pixam | my old mac died and i'm about to buy a new comp. however, i don't wanna buy a new mac nor get involved with the new windows'. i've heard good things about ubuntu, but is it easy to use for a basic comp user like me? | 11:56 |
| santhosh | hai i have doubt on lubuntu wine if anyone knows pls tell me | 11:56 |
| Ben66 | pixam: yes, its just different | 11:56 |
| jrib | Wiz_KeeD: so use the version you installed manually or find a ppa for nodejs (I'd be surprised if one does not exist) | 11:56 |
| pixam | ok. cool | 11:57 |
| jrib | pixam: try a live cd | 11:57 |
| pixam | what about viruses and malware? there's a lot of conflicting info on the net | 11:57 |
| DJones | santhosh: It may be worth you join wine's dedicated support channel which is ##winehq the people there may be able to help you better | 11:57 |
| jrib | !virus | pixam | 11:57 |
| ubottu | pixam: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 11:57 |
| Wiz_KeeD | jrib, am i not using the version install manually? i'm confused | 11:57 |

| Ben66 | pixam: just because viruses aren't a problem doesn't mean security isn't important though, gotta keep updates going, and use sudo for things that require root, shouldn't run most things as root | 11:58 |

| D30 | hi all.. i added a user in ubuntu server, i noticed that there is no user directory in /home folder.. i tried to issue finger <user>.. it displayed that its on the /home/<user> | 11:59 |
| D30 | is it a bug? | 11:59 |

| jrib | D30: how did you add the user...? | 11:59 |
| Ben66 | pixam: root is the most powerful account on the system | 11:59 |
| D30 | jrib: useradd <username> | 11:59 |
| Wiz_KeeD | jrib, so how would I be able to use the downloaded verson? I have no clue | 11:59 |
| jrib | D30: read man page. Use "adduser username" instead if you want a nicer wrapper around useradd | 12:00 |
| D30 | hmmnnn | 12:00 |
| D30 | let me try that | 12:00 |
| pixam | ben66, ok. thanks | 12:00 |
| D30 | thanks jrib | 12:00 |
| jrib | D30: (useradd won't create a home directory by default unless you pass -m). But I suggest you just use adduser instead | 12:00 |
| D30 | ok thank u for that input jrib | 12:00 |
| D30 | how can i delete that user anyway ? | 12:01 |
| D30 | userdel <username> | 12:01 |

| matju | hello everybody. with ubuntu 13.04, when I launch firefox, it does not appear as launched in the dock, it does not appear in alt+tab, and this problem was not happening yesterday. I see the firefox icon in the dock, but can't get to the existing firefox window with it. | 12:25 |
| lindar | __marco: Unless I'm mistaken, wouldn't that just be through apt-get ? | 12:25 |
| lindar | matju: Reboot computer? Latest version? Uninstall reinstall? | 12:26 |
| matju | lindar: everything is up to date, or was up to date two days ago. I didn't update in the middle, it broke by itself. | 12:27 |
| CaneToad | has anybody had success with getting SAMBA server running on 12.04.2 LTS? It has some known bugs in the setup so the default install doesn't work | 12:28 |
| __marco | lindar: no, the version of it in precise is too old, there is no backport and the quantal package depends on python-2.7 that is not in precise | 12:28 |
| matju | lindar: i had just rebooted because the menubar and dock had disappeared. i got them back, but at that moment, firefox started to not appear when launched. | 12:28 |
| lindar | __marco: Sorry. =/ | 12:29 |
| lindar | matju: Okay, what about the other two things I said? | 12:29 |
| __marco | lindar: you don't need to say sorry. | 12:29 |
| matju | lindar: uninstall reinstall what exactly ? firefox ? something else ? | 12:30 |
| __marco | lindar: has ubuntu a repository of its packages? launchpad I think, but I can find a specific package? | 12:32 |

| matju | lindar: it's also getting hard to see whether something is launching or not because the icons of the dock don't blink anymore when launching things, but in this case, it just isn't working anymore, so i have to launch it by other means | 12:36 |
| matju | blazemore: look, firefox does launch from a terminal, it's just that it does not appear in dock. the window stays reachable, but to get there, i have to minimise other windows or keep it on another v. desktop. | 12:38 |
| matju | blazemore: actually, the firefox icon of the dock does not work at all anymore. | 12:38 |

| carlfj | jozefk: seems i found something finally | 13:05 |
| whiteshark | did u try this sudo apt-get install build-essential | 13:05 |
| whiteshark | for the glibc package | 13:05 |
| lukjad | blazemore I think it's 2.16 but I'm not really sure. | 13:05 |

| lukjad | whiteshark I did, it seems that it didn't work. | 13:06 |
| carles | jozefk: do you mean carlfj? | 13:06 |
| carlfj | i mean the screen-off-thing i talked about yesterday | 13:06 |

| carlfj | ok. | 13:07 |
| carlfj | my screen turns off kinda randomly | 13:07 |
| jozefk | ah OK I know now | 13:07 |
| blazemore | lukjad: I think that grabbing a later deb of that package would give you the later version, but I'd strongly advise against it | 13:07 |
| jozefk | so you got it working now? | 13:07 |
| carlfj | and you told me to observe things right before it happens | 13:07 |
| jozefk | just by killing the Xorg? | 13:07 |
| carlfj | i couldnt find any still | 13:07 |
| whiteshark | if u use git u could.... git clone git://sourceware.org/git/glibc.git | 13:07 |
| carlfj | but it seems killing Xorg helps | 13:07 |
| carlfj | yeah, seems so for now. havent tried long enough though | 13:08 |
| lukjad | blazemore Yeah, it's only for one program and I hear that messing with glib is tricky | 13:08 |
| carlfj | any idea what could be the cause if killing Xorg really helps? | 13:08 |
| lukjad | whiteshar | 13:08 |
| jozefk | well Xorg is related to video isn't it? | 13:09 |
| lukjad | blazemore whiteshark Thanks! I guess I'll just have to leave it and hope the devs fix it. | 13:09 |
| jozefk | But it strange anyway | 13:09 |
| lukjad | Or upgrades do. | 13:09 |
| whiteshark | k, but according to some users u can install it | 13:09 |
| blazemore | lukjad: What is the application, as a matter of interest? | 13:09 |

| jozefk | yeah | 13:10 |
| lukjad | blazemore The support thread I found suggested a glibc 2.18 would fix the issue. | 13:11 |
| lukjad | blazemore But I'm hesitant to actually push an install that isn't in the repos or a simple update. | 13:12 |

| eimajenthat | Hey, running PHP 5.3.10 on Ubuntu 12.04. I have GD installed, enabled, and working. However, it says XBM Support is not enabled. I think my app needs XBM Support. How do I enable it? | 14:41 |
| blazemore | Is Worker or Preform MPM recommended for Apache? | 14:43 |
| blazemore | eimajenthat: What is saying that, sorry? | 14:44 |
| eimajenthat | blazemore: phpinfo() says it's not enabled | 14:44 |
| eimajenthat | or rather, it's not listed in phpinfo on that server | 14:44 |
| eimajenthat | but it is listed on my dev box | 14:45 |
| blazemore | eimajenthat: I think you have to compile PHP with support for that enabled, as the Ubuntu packages don't | 14:46 |
| eimajenthat | thanks, was afraid of that | 14:46 |
| cellardoor | Whenever I try to use Laptop-Mode-Tools or TLM on my laptop.. the computer instantly grinds to a halt and it can take up to a minute to run even "ls" in a terminal. If I stop either of these with systemd, everything runs fine again. Assuming they are doing something to my hard drive, as I can hear that spinning up and down. Any ideas would be really useful :) | 14:52 |

| Peetz0r | Hi! Is it true that ubuntu-12.04.3-desktop-i386.iso is supposed to fit on a regular old-fashioned cd? I just downloaded exactly that iso, and I'm trying to burn it to a CD using Brasero. Brasero claims that there's not enough room on the CD. | 14:52 |
| blazemore | Peetz0r: Is it larger than 700mb? | 14:52 |
| kwaw | /join #arrow_testing | 14:52 |
| Peetz0r | it's 707MB according to du -h and 742MB according to du --si | 14:53 |
| blazemore | Peetz0r: Then it won't fit on a 700mb CD | 14:53 |
| Peetz0r | blazemore: then why is ubuntu-12.04.3-desktop-i386.iso more than 700mb? that was a release supposed to fit on a cd, right? | 14:53 |
| blazemore | I don't know, where did you hear that? | 14:54 |
| Peetz0r | I know that later releases, 12.10 and later, are around 800mb, but all releases before that should fit on a regular cd | 14:54 |
| Peetz0r | that has always been a limit for iso sizes | 14:54 |
| Johnny_Linux | didnt you look to see how big it was before you proceeded ? | 14:55 |
| Peetz0r | but I suppose the 12.04.3 image grew slightly larger than 12.04.2 or something, and noone actually checked that | 14:55 |
| Peetz0r | Johnny_Linux: Brasero won't even let me proceed anyway | 14:55 |
| Johnny_Linux | didnt the site post the size ? | 14:55 |
| blazemore | The site does say it's >700mb | 14:55 |
| Peetz0r | I had the image on my harddrive already, and have used it on usb drives and virtual machines without problems | 14:56 |
| blazemore | I have a 12.04.1 iso which is 673Mb so you might be right about integrated updates bringing up the size of the installion medium | 14:56 |
| Johnny_Linux | thatd work | 14:56 |
| Peetz0r | blazemore: I'd like to find a copy of 12.04.1 or 12.04.2 :) | 14:56 |
| Peetz0r | but the official ubuntu mirrors don't have those anymore | 14:57 |
| blazemore | I only have amd64, but google the filename | 14:57 |
| blazemore | You'll find a mirror/torrent | 14:57 |
| Peetz0r | oh, I need 32bit actually | 14:57 |
| Peetz0r | I'll find one | 14:57 |
| blazemore | File a bug and see how it gets triaged | 14:57 |
| Johnny_Linux | put it on a usb stick | 14:57 |
| Peetz0r | Johnny_Linux: the machine I'm working with is old enough to *not* boot from usb,a nd to *not* have a dvd drive | 14:59 |
| Nach0z | hey guys, I've got a user in my /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd files called "libuuid", anyone know what that's for? | 14:59 |
| Johnny_Linux | maybe its 2 old for it all together | 14:59 |
| Peetz0r | but the 12.04.2 and .1 releases are inded a few MB smaller, and will fit on the cd | 14:59 |
| blazemore | Peetz0r: There's a CD you can burn that'll then go on to boot from a USB flash drive. if you intend to use this machine into the future it might be worth keeping that around | 14:59 |
| Peetz0r | Johnny_Linux: nah, it will work | 14:59 |
| Peetz0r | It will be slow, but it will work | 15:00 |

| bluj | hi.. can anyone tell me how i can cleanly remove a package i installed with 'make install', but without the original build dir anymore? the package has a package config .pc file etc | 15:12 |
| blazemore | WyReSP: Did you check the integrity of the DVD before you installed, using the menu option? | 15:12 |
| WyReSP | but the CD works in other PCs ... | 15:12 |
| blazemore | bluj: It depends on if the person who provides the source code provides a way to uninstall. | 15:12 |
| blazemore | WyReSP: What actual error(s) do you get? | 15:12 |
| blazemore | bluj: A makefile is essentially just a shell script - open it up and see if there's a way to do something like "make uninstall" | 15:13 |
| bluj | blazemore: ok.. so i need to obtain the source code again and try ot 'make uninstall' it? i was wondering if there was a more intelligent way, generic system way | 15:13 |
| blazemore | bluj: Nope, nothing particularly special about "make install", it usually just copies files | 15:13 |
| blazemore | I wouldn't hold out on there being a "make uninstall" to be honest | 15:13 |

| vramana | I am trying to follow the instructions here. https://gist.github.com/chen206/4030441 but I am getting an error like this http://pastebin.com/YRnBR6rG Can somebody help me how to fix this?? | 15:25 |
| blazemore | vramana: What Ubuntu version are you using? | 15:25 |
| vramana | Ubuntu 12.04 | 15:25 |
| hydro | I trying to follow this guide http://askubuntu.com/questions/55848/how-do-i-install-oracle-java-jdk-7, and I've gotten to the part where your supposed to enable mozilla firefox plugin | 15:26 |
| devjustforfun | Could you advice me some good screen recording program to use in ubuntu? | 15:26 |
| blazemore | You added a PPA forpostgrsql vramana ? It's trying to get a version 129ubuntu1+elementary2~precise1 | 15:26 |
| DJones | !screencast | devjustforfun | 15:26 |
| ubottu | devjustforfun: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Xvidcap, pyvnc2swf. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. | 15:26 |
| hydro | do I need to do this from chromium if I don't use firefox? | 15:26 |
| blazemore | vramana: The script says on a clean 12.04, not elementary, or Ubuntu with PPAs | 15:26 |
| blazemore | hydro: Why do you think you need the JDK? | 15:27 |
| DJones | devjustforfun: I've not used any of those suggested by Ubottu, but hopefully something that will give you a starter anyway | 15:27 |
| hydro | blazemore, for netbeans | 15:27 |
| devjustforfun | recordmydesktop and Kazam are not good choice for me becouse they are slow in browser animation effects i need something very speedy | 15:28 |
| vramana | blazemore: I don't know know I messed up a few things. Let me check. | 15:28 |
| blazemore | hydro: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-jdk | 15:28 |
| blazemore | vramana: Look in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ for additional repositories | 15:28 |
| hydro | blazemore, did I screw up anything with all the commands I ran so far on this guide http://askubuntu.com/questions/55848/how-do-i-install-oracle-java-jdk-7 | 15:29 |
| blazemore | hydro: You'll be fine just to use the PPA, it's easily the best way to get java/jdk | 15:29 |
| blazemore | hydro: It pulls the exact same code from the exact same place | 15:29 |
| eremis | quit | 15:30 |
| blazemore | eremis: /quit | 15:30 |
| vramana | blazemore: forpostgrsql PPA is not there in etc/apt/sources.list Here it is http://pastebin.com/JCvmFzhB | 15:32 |
| blazemore | vramana: no, in the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 15:32 |

| vramana | blazemore: http://pastebin.com/9C0g7wiR | 15:34 |
| blazemore | vramana: Before I tell you to break your system, how did you install this system? | 15:35 |
| vramana | Yeah Sorry I thought telling Ubuntu 12.04 would suffice | 15:35 |
| blazemore | No, it makes a big difference here | 15:35 |
| vramana | Oh Sorry I didn't know that | 15:36 |
| blazemore | it even says in the original error | 15:36 |

| vramana | Oh I never noticed it. | 15:36 |
| vramana | I installed on a seperate partition. | 15:36 |
| blazemore | you could try getting rid of the elemtary repos, but it might break things | 15:36 |
| blazemore | If you just want your database server or whatever, do a fresh installation of Ubuntu 12.04 and then run that script, and it will work | 15:37 |
| vramana | okay thanks. But I don't want to do that. I already had enough of formatting. I don't want to sit and reconfigure the whole system for hours. | 15:39 |
| blazemore | vramana: Well then, move elementary.list out of that folder, then apt-get update and try again | 15:42 |
| vramana | blazemore: I did a bad mistake http://gorails.com/setup/ubuntu#postgres This was written for raring. I read the first few parts they worked. then by mistakenly I did the same thing for postgreSQL as well. Do you think it is causing some problem?? | 15:44 |
| duoi | how can i autoconnect to my vpn on start up? | 15:44 |
| blazemore | vramana: As it happens, you'll be fine, just get rid of that elementary.list | 15:44 |

| Xfaulz | blazemore: I got aptitude though. | 16:09 |
| Xfaulz | lulz. | 16:09 |
| blazemore | Xfaulz: It's not a challenge if you're asking someone else for the answer now is it? This is actually hilarious, sorry | 16:09 |
| udizzy | Xfaulz: Dammnnn you sure have a challenge ahead there buddy | 16:09 |
| Nach0z | if you have aptitude you should be able to get apt-get back | 16:09 |
| Xfaulz | nach0z: how? | 16:09 |
| Galaxor | blazemore: How do I find the largest number? | 16:09 |
| m0x39 | anyway | 16:09 |
| gustav_ | Argh. | 16:09 |
| udizzy | yum install apt-get ? maybe prolly | 16:09 |
| m0x39 | could someone help me with my dual monitor config :/ | 16:09 |
| AcidRain2012 | Xfaulz, blazemore does have a point! we cant give you answer to your challenge ;) | 16:10 |
| blazemore | m0x39: Use the Catalyst Control Centre to set your monitors to "Single Desktop" | 16:10 |
| blazemore | m0x39: Sorry my mistake "dual" desktop | 16:10 |
| MonkeyDust | Xfaulz you ruined your system and now you want us to help repair it, that's no challenge | 16:10 |
| blazemore | m0x39: Then you can use the built-in Ubuntu display settings to set the resolution | 16:10 |
| m0x39 | yeh the hing is i need xinerama to work | 16:10 |
| m0x39 | ah | 16:10 |
| m0x39 | so you can disable xenorama | 16:10 |
| udizzy | Xfaulz: Personally I would accept defeat on the challenge and go for a reinstall | 16:10 |
| m0x39 | or whatever it is | 16:10 |
| m0x39 | and then still put monitors side by side via xrandr | 16:10 |
| m0x39 | ? | 16:11 |
| Xfaulz | how can I get apt-get back thru aptitude? | 16:11 |
| blazemore | Oh I don't use xinerama, I use a "true" multi-monitor setup (not a virtual single monitor) | 16:11 |
| Xfaulz | can you guys just stop your rubbish and help me. | 16:11 |
| AcidRain2012 | the top answers on google for not having apt-get: Get your vendor to stop breaking Ubuntu. Use a proper installation of Ubuntu. | 16:11 |
| m0x39 | ok blazemore the other thign is it doesnt pick up my res | 16:11 |
| udizzy | Xfaulz: lol | 16:11 |
| blazemore | 7:11:10 Xfaulz | can you guys just stop your rubbish and help me. | 16:11 |
| blazemore | Oh yeah, that'll help ^ | 16:11 |
| ikonia | blazemore: don't need to repeat it, we saw it | 16:11 |
| Nach0z | Xfaulz: see if you can do 'sudo aptitude install apt' | 16:11 |
| Xfaulz | aptitude install apt worked | 16:11 |
| blazemore | It's going on my how_to_ubuntu twitter | 16:11 |
| ikonia | Xfaulz: what's your actual problem ? | 16:11 |
| Xfaulz | challenge beaten. | 16:11 |
| AcidRain2012 | blazemore, i like how your "^" lined up with his name | 16:12 |
| Nach0z | lol acidrain | 16:12 |
| Xfaulz | ikonia: aptitude install apt fixed it. | 16:12 |
| ikonia | great, | 16:12 |
| AcidRain2012 | lol | 16:12 |
| Nach0z | Xfaulz: imagenius. | 16:12 |
| Nach0z | kthx. | 16:12 |
| Xfaulz | nach0z: :p | 16:12 |
| Nach0z | \o/ | 16:12 |
| Nach0z | that was a stupid challenge. don't do that again. | 16:12 |
| udizzy | Xfaulz: What is your next challenge ? | 16:12 |
| Xfaulz | nothing, udizzy. | 16:12 |
| Xfaulz | I do not want to risk my distro anymore | 16:12 |
| m0x39 | hes gonna go on to fedora and do the same thign but with apt | 16:13 |
| Xfaulz | ok | 16:13 |
| Nach0z | lol m0x | 16:13 |
| udizzy | sound like a plan buddy, you dodged a bullet there. | 16:13 |
| m0x39 | lol | 16:13 |
| blazemore | Why does ubuntu even *package* yum? | 16:13 |
| blazemore | !info yum raring | 16:13 |
| ubottu | yum (source: yum): Advanced front-end for rpm. In component universe, is extra. Version 3.4.3-1ubuntu1 (raring), package size 804 kB, installed size 3201 kB | 16:13 |
| Nach0z | just uninstall everything and rebuild the system from the kernel up using nano | 16:13 |
| ikonia | ok guys - enough | 16:14 |
| ikonia | he's fixed and working, please lets move on | 16:14 |
| Nach0z | blazemore: because some people like yum | 16:14 |
| udizzy | I think being able to remove apt is kind of silly. | 16:14 |
| m0x39 | but | 16:14 |
| m0x39 | the thing is | 16:14 |
| blazemore | udizzy: There's nothing actually special about the package that provides apt-get | 16:14 |
| Galaxor | Aha. dumpe2fs will show the inode count. | 16:14 |
| m0x39 | asnyone using linux would not do $packagemanager remove $packagemanager | 16:14 |
| Xfaulz | !info rm raring | 16:15 |
| ubottu | Package rm does not exist in raring | 16:15 |
| Xfaulz | !info cal raring | 16:15 |
| ikonia | m0x39: hes fixed and working - please let it go, people make mistakes | 16:15 |
| ubottu | Package cal does not exist in raring | 16:15 |
| ikonia | Xfaulz: what do you need ? | 16:15 |
| Nach0z | udizzy: removing it is silly. forcing ubuntu to not allow removal of apt or apt-get would kind of be anti-linux, in my opinion | 16:15 |
| m0x39 | yeh ok only messing | 16:15 |
| ikonia | m0x39: I've asked multiple times for it to stop, please drop it now | 16:15 |
| m0x39 | ok | 16:15 |
| m0x39 | jeeeez | 16:15 |
| onca | Could someone help me discern why I have a user in my gnome session named "J. Random User" | 16:15 |
| Nach0z | that's kinda like Microsoft making IE so integral to Windozer that if you remove it, the system dies | 16:15 |
| onca | I can't seem to delete or locate the account. | 16:16 |
| ikonia | Nach0z: final warning - it's done | 16:16 |
| Nach0z | ikonia: I'm talking about a new subject with udizzy | 16:16 |
| IdleOne | !ot | 16:16 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 16:16 |
| ikonia | it's nothing to do with this channel | 16:16 |
| ronnie | i have faced a problem that when i log in my ubuntu 13.04 pc then it happens that unlock loging keyring.how can i disable this feature?pls tell me the solution if anybody know this. | 16:16 |
| udizzy | Nach0z: I do kinda agree with the anti-linux thing. | 16:17 |
| Nach0z | udizzy: we should maybe take this to offtopic before ikonia ... iunno what ikonia can do honestly :| | 16:17 |
| Slart | ronnie: you do not want to unlock the keyring? or it asks you for a password to unlock it? | 16:17 |
| Mackwerk | Hey! I must be a retard but I've got this fresh ssd, my computer can find it in the bios, it's the only drive attached other than my live USB but when I get to the installation part it seems the ubuntu installer cannot find it, I've only just plugged it in and then I booted the live usb, do I have to do something first? | 16:18 |
| udizzy | Nach0z: no problem buddy, ikonia settle down. | 16:18 |
| m0x39 | is it in AHCI mode | 16:18 |
| Slart | Mackwerk: it doesn't show up in gparted? | 16:18 |
| Mackwerk | Slart, actually I don't know, I'm really new to this and I don't really know how to check that | 16:19 |
| m0x39 | run gparted | 16:19 |
| m0x39 | or fdisk/gdisk | 16:19 |
| udizzy | does anyone use rsyslog and rsyslog-mysql to push exim4 logs to mysql ? | 16:19 |
| Slart | Mackwerk: try running the program Gnome Partition Editor from the regular menu.. or type gparted in a terminal | 16:19 |
| Mackwerk | Slart, so I can choose the try ubuntu option and do that, right? | 16:19 |
| Slart | Mackwerk: I think there might be a "disk utility" or similar as well | 16:19 |
| Slart | Mackwerk: correct | 16:19 |
| ronnie | @Slart .. i do not want to unlock the keyring.actually i want to disable this feature.but how can i do that? | 16:20 |
| frenris | so my ubuntu menus and window decoration disappeared. I got my window decorations back my installing metacity and running metacity --replace. Anyone know what I can do to get my ubuntu menus back? | 16:20 |
| Nach0z | udizzy: but yeah, I've found even the fact that I can't remove certain packages because it'll break existing packages frustrating at times, I usually have to go in and do some dpkg magic to get it working again. Last time I had to do that was maven, I think | 16:21 |
| Slart | ronnie: hmm.. I'm not really sure.. you have a default keyring that gets installed by default... you could remove that, I guess | 16:21 |
| Slart | ronnie: I'm not really sure what this might affect though.. there could be side-effects | 16:22 |
| Mackwerk | Slart, ok, I'm trying that booting it up again now :p | 16:22 |
| udizzy | Nach0z: Packages with strange dependency's are annoying had a few a long time ago. | 16:22 |
| Slart | Mackwerk: ok | 16:23 |
| Nach0z | udizzy: yeah I think the last time I tried to install maven3 was back in 10.04 or something like that, and I couldn't because it required maven2 to build, but they had different dependencies and some of them replaced the ones for the other maven version | 16:24 |
| Nach0z | ended up bootstrapping pretty much everything | 16:24 |
| IdleOne | Nach0z: Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for the chit chat. discussing ubuntu is not support related and does not belong in this channel. | 16:25 |
| Mackwerk | Slart, hmm running gparted it gives me this message (it's really long but it's something likes): /dev/Sda conratins GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GPT table. Hwoever it does not have a fake msdos partitiion table as it should.. | 16:28 |
| Mackwerk | It then asks me if it is a GPT partitition table and I can click yes/no | 16:28 |
| Slart | Mackwerk: well.. that puts it into unknown territory to me.. never messed with that before | 16:29 |
| rostam | HI I just installed 12.04 LTS on my system. During installation it ask for a username and password which I provided. Now I need to get root access to install new packages and I am not able to become root. How could I recover the root password? Is there something I need to do during installation? thx | 16:29 |
| Mackwerk | Slart ok :p | 16:29 |
| blazemore | !sudo | rostam | 16:29 |
| ubottu | rostam: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 16:29 |
| Mackwerk | I'll try and click no, I suppose nothing will happen then | 16:29 |
| Slart | Mackwerk: include this information and ask the room to see if anyone knows more about the subject | 16:30 |
| === e_t__ is now known as e_t_ | ||
| PapaSierra_ | is it possible for a file/dir to to be owned by <anybody>:mygroup? | 16:31 |
| Mackwerk | Slart, well, I clicked no. And took it from there. sda was the ssd so I created a partition table, now I'm trying to see about installing ubuntu on it | 16:31 |
| blazemore | PapaSierra_: yes. chown <user>:<group> <filename> | 16:32 |
| Slart | Mackwerk: ah.. well if it shows up in the installer I suppose you did the right thing =) | 16:32 |
| PapaSierra_ | blazemore: no, i mean it's a sort of "nobody" user. i.e. to me the group is important, but nobody really owns the file | 16:33 |
| Mackwerk | Slart, I hope so :D I'll see in a bit | 16:33 |
| blazemore | PapaSierra_: Every file has an owner | 16:33 |
| PapaSierra_ | blazemore: ok sure | 16:33 |
| Mackwerk | While I'm here, I've put in a XFX Radeon HD 7750 Core Edition card but it seemed pretty sluggish with ubuntu, are there some special drivers I can install or something? | 16:33 |
| blazemore | Mackwerk: Are there any additional drivers listed in the Additional Drivers section of Software Sources? | 16:34 |
| Nach0z | Mackwerk: you may have to download the ATI driver installer from the website, it's what I had to revert to for my Radeon | 16:35 |
| Mackwerk | Nach0z, do they provide an ubuntu package, or? | 16:35 |
| === _gcx is now known as gcx | ||
| Mackwerk | blazemore, don't know yet, just installing ubuntu now will see then | 16:36 |
| Nach0z | Mackwerk: no, it's just a generic Linux executable, it essentially has to compile the kernel module based on what's on your system | 16:36 |
| Nach0z | you'll have to install the kernel headers and whatnot | 16:36 |
| Mackwerk | :o Sounds scary | 16:38 |

| Hanumaan | how to keep a installed python module in python path ? I have installed python module in /usr/local but it is not available in help('modules') | 16:39 |

| ferr | hi | 16:41 |
| beginner_ | uhm, hi? | 16:43 |
| ferr | could anyone help me to install broadcom drivers? | 16:43 |
| beginner_ | Could i ask here if my computer supports linux? ubuntu preferably? | 16:43 |
| beginner_ | hp compaq d330 ut does this (very old) piece of crap support linux? | 16:44 |
| gordonjcp | beginner_: is it a PC? | 16:45 |
| john_john | Woo, I Just installed ubuntu and it works perfectly so far | 16:45 |
| gordonjcp | john_john: cool | 16:45 |
| john_john | although I have a slight delay when typing | 16:45 |
| john_john | Could it be firefox's fault? | 16:46 |
| gordonjcp | john_john: in everything, or just IRC? | 16:46 |
| gordonjcp | browser based IRC? | 16:46 |
| john_john | YEah, irccloud | 16:46 |
| beginner_ | yeah gordon, an old desktop with windows xp running on it | 16:46 |
| john_john | yup, it's firefox, unity i can type normally in | 16:46 |
| john_john | hmm alright, so how do I check if both of my graphic cards are being used? | 16:46 |
| Mackwerk | blazemore, where can I find the additional software view you mentioned?= | 16:47 |
| Mackwerk | AH! Nevermind I found it I think | 16:47 |
| beginner_ | are 7 year old computers supported by ubuntu? | 16:49 |
| Nach0z | beginner_: depends on what the hardware is, but generally yes | 16:50 |
| dtcrshr | beginner_: well, maybe you will need a lighter version | 16:50 |
| Artemis3 | beginner_, its easer to say which cpu and how much ram it has | 16:50 |
| john_john | better than windows anyways | 16:50 |
| dtcrshr | like lxde or xfce | 16:50 |
| dtcrshr | john_john: said it | 16:51 |
| Nach0z | beginner_: what Artemis3 said, it's more about the hardware specs than the "age" of the hardware. unless there's some freaky proprietary cards in there somewhere | 16:51 |
| Nach0z | (which I doubt) | 16:51 |
| beginner_ | yeah, well, someone made this computer, hmm, its very bad, 770mb working space | 16:51 |
| john_john | where do I find settings for unity? | 16:52 |
| === ivan_ is now known as Guest52096 | ||
| Nach0z | beginner_: 770 MB of ram? | 16:52 |
| beginner_ | yeah, RAM | 16:52 |
| Artemis3 | ok, what cpu? p4? | 16:53 |
| beginner_ | yup, pentium 4 :( | 16:53 |
| Nach0z | beginner_: when you say "working space" I'm assuming you don't mean there's only 770MB of RAM sticks in the machine? | 16:53 |
| ferr | I need some guidance with broadcom wireless drivers. I found some tutorials online, but I could not solve the problem. Any suggestions? bcm43228 | 16:53 |
| Artemis3 | it could be 1g or ram (minus video shared memory) and p4, yup you should be fine ^^ | 16:53 |
| Nach0z | beginner_: for what it's worth that's the same specs as the machine that I'm running my ubuntu server on. it's an old VAIO. should be fine. | 16:54 |
| Artemis3 | beginner_, i would try with lubuntu or xubuntu just in case ubuntu feels too slow | 16:54 |
| Nach0z | Artemis3 seems to know more about hardware than me >____> | 16:54 |
| beginner_ | :) thanks | 16:54 |
| Artemis3 | yes i have some p4s around :) | 16:54 |
| e-frame | hi all | 16:54 |
| beginner_ | lubuntu would be better for slow computers? | 16:55 |
| Artemis3 | yes | 16:55 |
| Artemis3 | you will then need to add the apps you like, such as libreoffice, steam, etc | 16:55 |
| beginner_ | aight, thanks for ur information :) | 16:55 |
| beginner_ | Now... i need an usb-stick ;p | 16:55 |
| Nach0z | lol | 16:56 |
| beginner_ | anyone got safe download link to official lubuntu? | 16:56 |
| beginner_ | i only can find some torrents -.- | 16:57 |
| beginner_ | dont want FBI knocking on my door for illegally downloading free software ;p | 16:57 |
| john_john | you can't be busted for that, but try ubuntu.com :P | 16:58 |
| ferr | you can not be punished for downloading | 16:58 |
| Nach0z | beginner_: if you're looking at this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu then only the top thing that says "torrent link" is a torrent. the "Standard PC" stuff is what you want, it's direct download | 16:58 |
| ferr | you might get in trouble for sharing | 16:58 |
| john_john | http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop | 16:58 |

| Nach0z | beginner_: scuze me while I go leech all ur peers | 17:02 |
| beginner_ | ^^ | 17:02 |
| john_john | or is it protection so that basic users can't bring up the terminal? | 17:02 |

| nightmare365 | my brother is hogging it and i'd like to teach him a little lesson | 17:08 |
| beginner_ | Do USB-sticks work to install lubuntu/ubuntu? | 17:08 |
| Slart | nightmare365: iptables is one tool that can do that for you | 17:08 |
| nightmare365 | Slart: i haven't used it .. let me check it up | 17:09 |
| Nach0z | beginner_: it *should* but you may want to just stick to using a CD. I've found it's a bit more consistent | 17:09 |
| nightmare365 | can i use gufw to set up the rules? | 17:09 |
| Nach0z | if you have a CD-RW you can use, just take the extra few minutes to do that | 17:09 |
| Slart | nightmare365: if you google for "traffic shaping iptables" you'll get quite a few tutorials.. it will take some reading, I don't think there is a turn-key solution out there | 17:09 |
| Slart | nightmare365: I have no idea, never used gufw | 17:10 |
| shadowtech | nightmare365 what do you want to block him from | 17:10 |
| nightmare365 | shadowtech: from accessing the internet or at least joining the wifi | 17:10 |

| beginner_ | Unless my granddad got one.... which is very unlikely... | 17:11 |
| mrallan140 | hello | 17:11 |
| Slart | beginner_: USB-stick has worked nicely for me for the last couple of years | 17:11 |
| john_john | you can't install it from inside of windows anymore? | 17:11 |
| john_john | Oh and Ubuntu made my computer incredibly loud, my guess is that it doesn't utilize both of my graphic cards :/ | 17:12 |

| baphomet1 | hello all. I am looking for a SATA controller card like this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816124060 that will work in ubuntu for sure. I bought the card I linked because it says it works in linux, but it didn't work in ubuntu 12.04.3 | 17:21 |
| baphomet1 | ? | 17:21 |
| FloodBot1 | baphomet1: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:22 |

| Pici | john_john: you pasted the same link twice, we can't see the error that you're getting. | 17:23 |
| baphomet1 | can anyone answer me question? :D | 17:24 |
| Pici | baphomet1: Why do you think it doesn't work in 12.04? | 17:24 |
| baphomet1 | Pici, because I installed the card and tried it. I also asked about that card in here and apparently there is no kernel module built in for it | 17:25 |
| john_john | My bad | 17:25 |
| ferr | I need some help with broadcom bcm43228 wireless drivers | 17:25 |
| john_john | It worked now, apparently there were no current drivers | 17:26 |

| wilee-nilee | neredsenvy, It would be a recovery if it is gone, you have no backup of it? | 17:53 |
| neredsenvy | wilee-nilee: How would I back it up I simply installed Ubuntu I left the 50GB partition I use for backing up files alone. I formated the 450GB where WIn7 used to reside and installed Ubuntu instead | 17:54 |
| neredsenvy | However now after I'm done the 50GB partition is not showing anywhere | 17:55 |

| Extreminador | *think it was you | 17:56 |
| wilee-nilee | neredsenvy, There are a number of ways to backup stuff up, a clone of it on an external or a just the info on a external would have been the way. | 17:56 |
| Castling | OT: Hynix fabs 1 and 2 just exploded. If you need ram, get it now. | 17:56 |
| wilee-nilee | Extreminador, I saw you yesterday we spoke I believe but that info does not ring a bell | 17:56 |
| neredsenvy | wilee-nilee: I used two partitions I guess Ubuntu formated/trashed that 50GB partition during install. I'm guessing everything is gone ? | 17:57 |
| Extreminador | yehh wilee-nilee but it was not yestarday (i think) | 17:57 |
| Extreminador | but thanks will have to look | 17:57 |
| wilee-nilee | neredsenvy, Ubuntu only did what you told it to, this is user error, and yes it seems to be gone if it was on sda, you have my empathy here though. | 17:58 |
| chaotic_good | so where does ubuntu setup nic bonds? | 17:58 |

| MonkeyDust | HypnotiX open a terminal and type less /etc/fstab | 18:03 |
| wilee-nilee | neredsenvy, Partitions go in numerical order when the types are the same generally, you have sda1 as a primary, sda2 is the extended, so the sda5 a logical inside the sda2 starts at sda5. A single HD can have 4 primaries which would be sda1,2,3,4 | 18:03 |
| HypnotiX | i have the file open | 18:04 |
| neredsenvy | wilee-nilee: http://oi43.tinypic.com/b5i4h2.jpg | 18:04 |
| wilee-nilee | neredsenvy, sda5 is the swap, I used the term logical though. | 18:04 |
| MonkeyDust | HypnotiX does it look similar to this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab#Examples | 18:05 |
| Extreminador | can´t find the thread lool... let me ask again like i ask before and someone told me the topic link | 18:05 |
| HypnotiX | well i dont have the swap partition in there | 18:05 |

| Extreminador | when i open playonlinux it says that there is a new version , even after i do apt-get update and apt-get upgrade | 18:06 |
| wilee-nilee | Extreminador, I believe these posts are on the web, they used to be anyway. | 18:06 |
| Extreminador | the firts time i ask this someone told me to ask Jeff (or something) to add the new version to the oficial repositorys and show me a topic to ask there | 18:07 |
| Nach0z | Extreminador: the apt repositories may not have the most recent version of a software, depending on whether they break other things (such as dependency changes) | 18:07 |
| neredsenvy | It's showing 3 partitions and theres second 16GB dis however ubuntu is only showing the boot partition and the second drive | 18:07 |
| zykotick9 | HypnotiX: use "sudo blkid" to find out the swaps UUID then add it like "UUID=e1d2e3f4-9828-48e7-8920-529b234b681b none swap sw 0 0" | 18:07 |

| wilee-nilee | neredsenvy, What you have to watch out for is that gigs are counted differently by the manufacturer as 1000MB, where as linux sees them as 1204MB, so a 500 gig HD is actually smaller in the real world. | 18:17 |

| muggard | thanks a lot. | 18:19 |
| blazemore | That's fine, you can see what's happening there is the end of every line is being replaced by a string. So basically the string will just be appended to the end of every line | 18:20 |

| zykotick9 | PapaSierra_: using root to ssh with, is a TERRIBLE idea... just sayin' | 18:40 |
| Pici | PapaSierra_: its doing what you've set it up to do. I certainly wouldn't recommend ssh-ing in as root directly, but if you really needed it for something then using key-based auth is the right way to do it. | 18:40 |

| Ca11um | Does Steam operate a per-user basis on Linux, or am I missing something? | 18:46 |
| kostkon | Ca11um, it does | 18:46 |
| Ca11um | kostkon, there was a massive list of packages which were not installed for Steam, can I ignore that errror? | 18:47 |
| Ca11um | Despite multiple errors, the client continued to run correctly | 18:47 |
| kostkon | Ca11um, what do you mean exactly | 18:47 |
| kostkon | Ca11um, what kind of packages | 18:47 |
| PapaSierra_ | Pici: did you see my last comment? ^ | 18:47 |
| Ca11um | I didn't read the list, kostkon | 18:48 |
| Ca11um | At first there was an error relating to insufficient HDD space, and then another error relating to a long list of missing packages | 18:48 |
| Ca11um | and now it turns out each user must individually download each game (unless you use a Steam Library), Steam didn't do a very good job | 18:48 |
| kostkon | Ca11um, try reinstalling it and pastebin any output: maybe some along the lines of: sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get install steam --reinstall | 18:49 |
| TiZ | Hi. For some reason, it seems my .config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css file isn't being read. I have just one bit of code in it, * { margin: 3px; } to put an obnoxious margin around everything and make sure it's being opened, and I'm not seeing that margin after theme switches. What can I do about this? | 18:49 |
| wilee-nilee | raub, However this has to be a disc without locks on doing this, for example I have a movie that was released this year on a disc, I can't get an extraction of it to an iso as a backup, inspite it being legal for me to do so. | 18:49 |
| kostkon | Ca11um, it's like you said, on a per user basis | 18:49 |
| wilee-nilee | at least with freeware | 18:49 |
| Ca11um | kostkon, the problem is that the other users are standard users, and are too young and inexperienced to be able to do any form of computer maintanence | 18:50 |
| Ca11um | So I want to install Steam from my user account, and alike Windows, every account has the same Steam setup | 18:50 |
| kostkon | Ca11um, what kind of maintenance you need to do to play steam games other than pressing the install button | 18:50 |
| Ca11um | Installing the supposidely missing drivers | 18:51 |
| Ca11um | packages* | 18:51 |
| bekks | Ca11um: You may want it, but I doubt that it will work that way. | 18:51 |
| kostkon | Ca11um, it shouldn't have the same setup for all the users, i.e. same games, same account and prefs | 18:52 |
| Ca11um | Well I expect the system packages to work for all users, and for all users to be confronted with the Steam login window, free of errors | 18:53 |
| Ca11um | The game downloads I don't mind so much, since a Steam Library can be setup | 18:53 |
| Ca11um | On a Ubuntu HDD, what would be the most appropriate file path for a shared Steam Library? | 18:53 |
| c3vin | so my question is... | 18:53 |
| c3vin | I'm booting Dell Poweredge R710 which is listed as certified hardware | 18:54 |
| kostkon | Ca11um, they should. the problem is you haven't described the errors you are getting etc | 18:54 |
| c3vin | I have SAS drive connected to perc controller | 18:54 |
| bekks | c3vin: And whats your question? | 18:54 |
| c3vin | how can I configure ubuntu to see drive? | 18:54 |
| kostkon | Ca11um, and hopefully you are not running steam with sudo | 18:54 |
| Ca11um | No | 18:54 |
| bekks | c3vin: Configure a logical volume in the BIOS of the controller. | 18:54 |
| Ca11um | Users run Steam from the 'Steam' shortcut on the launcher thing | 18:55 |
| Ca11um | So if we were to setup a shared Steam Library, is there a dir on the HDD specifically for sharing data? | 18:55 |
| Ca11um | Or would /steam be appropriate? | 18:56 |
| bekks | Ca11um: if /steam is a seperate mountpoint... | 18:56 |
| Ca11um | No | 18:57 |
| bekks | Then I'd not put game play data into the / filesystem. | 18:57 |
| shader | how do I replace the default program for a particular command? i.e. emacs-snapshot instead of emacs24 for 'emacs'? | 18:57 |
| ImaLamer | when running apt-get upgrade i'm getting an error with cryptsetup not being able to find the root device ... i don't even want to remove encryption on this machine | 18:57 |
| Ca11um | Where else can data go other than '/'? | 18:57 |
| Ca11um | I've barely used Linux, I don't know much about the dir structure | 18:58 |
| ImaLamer | can i just remove encryption packages or will this bork everything? | 18:58 |
| smaudet | Why is gtk-update-icon-cache so dang slow? I've been sitting here for nearly half an hour with a mostly unresponsive computer while does who knows what of questionable use to my HDD... | 18:59 |
| bekks | ImaLamer: It will break your box, if you are using encryption. | 18:59 |
| bekks | Ca11um: Into /mnt/steam - where /mnt/steam is a seperate mountpoint. | 18:59 |
| Ca11um | How do I create a seperate mountpoint, and why are mountpoints needed? | 18:59 |
| Ca11um | Can't everything operate from / ? | 18:59 |
| bekks | !mount | Ca11um | 19:00 |
| ubottu | Ca11um: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 19:00 |
| ImaLamer | bekks: i've never used it anyways, should i just resolve this fstab issue of finding the root partition? | 19:00 |
| c3vin | bekks: OK | 19:00 |
| Ca11um | I don't want to attach a device to a directory, just for Steam to read data from a different directory | 19:00 |
| ImaLamer | bekks: cryptsetup: WARNING: could not determine root device from /etc/fstab | 19:00 |
| c3vin | bekks: then I'd like to use hdparm to flash drive with firmware | 19:00 |
| c3vin | will I be able to if configured properly in bios? | 19:00 |
| bekks | c3vin: Depends on the exact controller - but without defining a logical volume in the controller you cant use your disks. | 19:01 |
| smaudet | What is in this file?? /usr/share/icons/hicolor/icon-theme.cache <- its 133 Megs large | 19:01 |
| smaudet | No wonder its chocking on it. | 19:01 |
| bekks | smaudet: It is a cache file. | 19:01 |
| smaudet | bekks: of? | 19:01 |
| bekks | smaudet: And whats "it"? | 19:01 |
| unclezipper | Callum - I can't recall the steps you need to make a new mount point, but having a patitioned install makes upgrading to a new version of your OS(or another one) simple. | 19:02 |
| c3vin | bekks: it's perc controller | 19:02 |
| bekks | smaudet: "icon cache" - look at the name :) | 19:02 |
| bekks | c3vin: Which one? Personally, I know about a douzen different PERC controllers. | 19:02 |
| unclezipper | I usually use a partition for /, /boot, /usr, /usr/local, and /home | 19:02 |
| smaudet | bekks: every time I run an update of my machine, it sits there, for 20-30 minutes, updating the 'cache' by 'it' I mean gtk-update-icon-cache | 19:02 |
| c3vin | bekks: perc 6 - my question is if virtual disk is created on bios, how does o/s interpret? | 19:02 |
| bekks | c3vin: Perc6, 6i, 6e? | 19:03 |
| smaudet | bekks: and nothing else on the computer will run, no matter how unrelated the updates are to the running programs | 19:03 |
| c3vin | bekks: 6i...the controller isn't the issue | 19:03 |
| Ca11um | unclezipper, if I didn't care for upgrading the OS (the folder can easily be moved), can a mountpoint be avoided? | 19:03 |
| badass | samba question: Does the require_membership_of option in winbind.so get ignored if the AD user has 'password must change at next logon' | 19:03 |
| bekks | c3vin: If a logical disk is created, the OS will see a disk. | 19:03 |
| badass | I really need help with this... | 19:03 |
| smaudet | bekks: Any idea what sort of 'caching' its doing? Maybe I need to clean out /usr/share/icons/hicolor/ ? | 19:04 |
| bekks | smaudet: It caches icons, etc. displayed by your themes. | 19:04 |
| willybilly0101 | Ca11um, read about mount, mountpoints and linux structure, or go windows, these are extremely basic things | 19:04 |
| BluesKaj | Ca11um: only if you use the whole disk | 19:04 |
| bekks | smaudet: If you clean out that directory, you will not see icons anymore. Dont do it. | 19:04 |
| bekks | smaudet: Rename that file for testing, but dont touch your icons. | 19:05 |
| unclezipper | Callum: Yes, it can. most Linux-based OS installs are only done on 1 partition, but I would still recommend keeping a separate /home partition so it would be easier to back up personal files and program settings. Then again, you don't *need* to do that either, it's just my preference | 19:05 |
| c3vin | bekks: I need to see the physical disks, will that be possible? | 19:05 |
| bekks | c3vin: Thats what I answered three times now. | 19:05 |
| smaudet | bekks: ok, I will move the cache file to a backup and re-run that program, not now though, I've already lost enough time as it is >_< | 19:05 |
| pawan_tejwani | Hi, I'm trying to scp a file from ubuntu server to SLES server, the server gives me "Welcome root" message instead of transferring a file | 19:05 |
| bekks | c3vin: If in doubt, please consult the manual of that controller. | 19:05 |
| pawan_tejwani | can anyone please tell me if there is some config chage, it would be great if you point me to some documentation so that I can refer it in detail ... Thanks :) | 19:05 |
| bekks | pawan_tejwani: Thats a SLES issue. | 19:06 |
| unclezipper | pawan_ | 19:06 |
| unclezipper | pawan_tejwani: What command are you using to scp the file? Please censor any sensitive details like IP addresses | 19:06 |
| smaudet | bekks: the total space for that entire directory is 194, so if the cache file is 133 M, something is seriously out of wack | 19:07 |
| smaudet | The cache file is larger than all of the icons put together | 19:07 |
| bekks | smaudet: Why? | 19:07 |
| bekks | smaudet: Just because you dont believe you have about 60M icons, etc. installed? | 19:08 |
| smaudet | bekks: Huh? I believe that, 194-133 ~= 61 M | 19:08 |
| === GingerGeek[Away] is now known as GingerGeek | ||
| smaudet | 61M/133 M ~= 0.5, so there is twice as much cache as icons | 19:08 |
| Extreminador | is there any good software to see if my colo defenitions and/o drivers are updated to th best performance ? | 19:09 |
| smaudet | bekks: maybe I'm misunderstanding what 'cache' means in this instance but I thought it was supposed to be a smaller file than the total | 19:09 |
| bekks | smaudet: And a cache file caches whats actually being displayed ... thats the purpose of it. It can grow larger, because the "things" being displayed do not necessarily have to be the things being stored on your disk. | 19:09 |
| Extreminador | i asm asking this because i think the quality of my image atm is not very good | 19:09 |
| bekks | Extreminador: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 19:09 |
| Extreminador | bekks i did that already | 19:09 |
| smaudet | bekks: so you think I have a ton of icons in memory that are the problem? | 19:10 |
| bekks | Extreminador: Then you have the latest version of drivers, etc. | 19:10 |
| bekks | smaudet: Not in memory, in that file. | 19:10 |
| smaudet | bekks: the only thing I could think of would be browser tabs...I have a few, but not enough I don't think to warrant 60 extra Megs | 19:10 |
| smaudet | bekks: unless favicons are on the order of 1 M apeice | 19:11 |
| bekks | smaudet: Why do you think you know how big single contents of that cache file are? :) | 19:11 |
| Extreminador | bekks how can i them improve this ? is there any "directx" for linux ? | 19:11 |
| unclezipper | Extreminador: I'm not sure of any programs to auto-detect the best settings, but can you post the output of lspci and lsmod to pastebin? I might be able to help you out | 19:11 |
| bekks | Extreminador: No. | 19:11 |
| bekks | Extreminador: You cannot improve it, because you are runing the latest versions. | 19:11 |
| Extreminador | unclezipper yes i can | 19:11 |
| smaudet | bekks: I don't, I really don't care too much about the fact that its 133 Meg, other than whatever gtk-update-icon-cache does on it is excrutiatingly slow | 19:12 |
| bekks | smaudet: The rename that file and check again. | 19:12 |
| unclezipper | Anybody else running a P3 right now? | 19:12 |
| bekks | Extreminador: Please attach the output of "lsb_release -a; uname -a" too. | 19:12 |
| bekks | unclezipper: Why? :) | 19:12 |
| bekks | unclezipper: Currently, its late summer, no need for a heating ;) | 19:13 |
| Extreminador | ok bekks | 19:13 |
| smaudet | bekks: and anyways I never said what I thought the individual contents of the cache file were, check what I wrote | 19:13 |
| funky1 | can someone help with samba? i'm not able to so connect to my shares | 19:13 |
| unclezipper | bekks: Ha :P | 19:13 |
| smaudet | bekks: only about how many browser tabs I have, and actuall high color icons I have | 19:13 |
| funky1 | also smbtree lists the samba server but not its shares | 19:13 |
| smaudet | And the *fact* that its twice as big as my entire icon collection | 19:13 |
| funky1 | there is no errors in the log files | 19:14 |
| bekks | smaudet: Then rename that file and check again... | 19:14 |
| funky1 | at least not anymore | 19:14 |
| smaudet | bekks: as I said, will do later | 19:14 |
| unclezipper | funky1: Are you trying to allow Windows clients to have access to your files? | 19:14 |
| funky1 | yes | 19:15 |
| funky1 | also | 19:15 |
| funky1 | but atm on an ubuntu client | 19:15 |
| unclezipper | bekks: This thing is surprisingly cool. It's an old Dell Latitude with a P3 in it, and what appears to be a 1.5" screen | 19:15 |
| unclezipper | funky1: Ah... I can't really help much then, sorry. I was going to suggest using the nfs kernel module for linux-only file sharing | 19:16 |
| funky1 | hm ok | 19:16 |
| funky1 | thx anyhow | 19:16 |
| unclezipper | But my understanding is that NFS software for Windows isn't that good | 19:16 |
| funky1 | no unfortunately not | 19:16 |
| Extreminador | unclezipper , bekks http://pastebin.com/kwgTu4mA | 19:16 |
| Extreminador | thanks for you patiente | 19:16 |
| bekks | Extreminador: You should use 64bit installation on that hardware. | 19:18 |
| AcidRain2012 | 1.5" screen? | 19:18 |
| Extreminador | bekks humm thought it was ... ups | 19:18 |
| AcidRain2012 | i have a dell latitude d620 i bought about 6 yrs ago for 100$. its still good today | 19:18 |
| bekks | Extreminador: As you can see in uname -a, you are running a 32bit installation. | 19:19 |
| unclezipper | Extreminador: Not a problem... Seconding bekks on that. Seems like you have an Nvidia card or integrated Nvidia graphics. Are you using the proprietary drivers? | 19:19 |
| Extreminador | unclezipper yes i am | 19:19 |
| unclezipper | AcidRain2012: Probably not... It feels like it's that small when you're using it though | 19:19 |
| bekks | Extreminador: Then you already optimized everything you can. | 19:19 |
| unclezipper | bekks: Not so fast... Isn't there some sort of Nvidia settings manager? It's been a while, but I think I remember seeing it | 19:20 |
| Extreminador | bekks good lord them... this bakground image them is really bad | 19:20 |
| unclezipper | AcidRain2012: Just noticed your second message. I'm running Salix LXDE on this one. It's actually pretty quick, as per what you might expect | 19:21 |
| bekks | Extreminador: The background image has nothing to do with your graphics drivers. | 19:22 |
| AcidRain2012 | ya dude. for 2gig of ram. my d620 is super fast | 19:22 |
| bekks | Extreminador: And you want to run nvidia-settings | 19:22 |
| AcidRain2012 | i run backtrack and windows xp on it. not a fan of anything xp+ | 19:22 |
| unclezipper | 2 gigs? Mine has 256M | 19:22 |
| AcidRain2012 | :/ urs must be rly old ;p | 19:23 |
| Extreminador | bekks is it better to run there setting ? if it is them yehh | 19:23 |
| AcidRain2012 | i think mine came out in 2002 | 19:23 |
| unclezipper | Yeah... The whole Pentium 3 thing | 19:23 |
| AcidRain2012 | it was stock with 1gig. i put another 1 gig in it | 19:23 |
| Extreminador | bekks but my image is prety bad... but mybe i did download the wrong version of it and not the hd one | 19:23 |
| AcidRain2012 | i dont even feel like firing the ole dell up right now to tell you whats in it. lol | 19:23 |
| bekks | Extreminador: You asked for them, I answered your question. | 19:23 |
| max-da | Q: When I clicked on a icon in the launcher, unity used to make this window active and to switch to the viewport to make the window visible. Now, it doesn't do that anymore. The window is made active, but the viewport doesn't switch, so i manually have to switch which is quite enoying. How can I change that? | 19:23 |
| Extreminador | ahh lool bekks thanks | 19:24 |
| unclezipper | I have another Latitude, a D800 with a Pentium M in it with 1G of ram... It doesn't really need the ram upgrade, though it could handle it if I could get it | 19:24 |

| serversides | Hi everyone. Looking to set up a decent mail server. In the past I have used Google Apps. Due to nature of privacy I no longer want to continue using their services. The £33/year was worth the spam protection alone. Therefore I am looking for something that is | 20:13 |
| serversides | easy to set up, secure <-- a must I dont want to risk the rest of the server, encryption and reaonable spam protection. | 20:14 |
| ezech | serversides, have you ever done mail server administration? | 20:15 |
| serversides | Currently using ubuntu 12.04 LTS with a LAMP stack and have POstfix interent site set up to handle php's mail() function. Just looking to set up a few domain addresses. | 20:15 |
| ezech | serversides, admining mail server is not the same as installing and running linux | 20:16 |
| serversides | ezech: A few years back I did, but I'm worried about not setting up.missing things to compromise sec | 20:16 |
| ezech | by 'compromise sec' you mean .. ? | 20:17 |
| ezech | what are the dangers you have identified that you want to secure yourself from? | 20:17 |
| serversides | ezech: My server setup is minimal at best and I want to limit opening ports/running services if I don't have to | 20:17 |
| serversides | ezech: Brute forcing | 20:18 |
| ezech | serversides, gmail would protect you from that | 20:18 |
| iceroot_ | which repo is the software-center using? i can find "steam" in software-center but not with apt-cache search/apt-get install. so what is software center doing here? | 20:18 |
| serversides | ezech: Yeah I use to use google apps. But for privacy reasons I want to move away from google | 20:19 |
| ezech | serversides, what kind of 'privacy' you want to achieve moving away from google? | 20:19 |
| iceroot_ | ezech: is that a real question? | 20:20 |
| ezech | someone will be able to read your emails anyway, no matter what, and big chance is it will be google staff even if not using gmail | 20:20 |
| ezech | iceroot_, it is a very real question | 20:20 |
| Naphatul | anyone elses gnome terminal crash when opening links? | 20:20 |
| serversides | ezech: paying the £33/year was worth the spam protection alone, but after the PRISM leaks I don't want the US gov able to access my account | 20:20 |
| iceroot_ | serversides: i switched to my own mailserver and using pgp | 20:21 |
| ezech | serversides, then get a pair of scissors and do what you must with your internet cable | 20:21 |
| ezech | disable wifi too | 20:21 |
| LinuxGold | start using paper mail | 20:21 |
| LinuxGold | most secure that way | 20:21 |
| ezech | other countries governments had their dirty little secrets revealed to nsa, and they had bigger security budget you will ever see | 20:21 |
| iceroot_ | serversides: you should have a look at pgp (mail encryption) everything else can be read from others | 20:21 |
| ezech | LinuxGold, they scan paper mail too | 20:21 |
| serversides | iceroot: thanks man | 20:22 |
| LinuxGold | *cough* ezech what? | 20:22 |
| Naphatul | is anyone elses terminal crashing when opening links with the right click context menu? | 20:22 |
| john_john | Okay, so I've tried everything to get my microphone working now. I can hear my own voice, but for some reason I can't use it in skype as my computer streams the sound that comes from my computer instead and not my microphone· | 20:22 |
| ezech | LinuxGold, they do, they say they scan only envelopes, but you know what can be done with bright light, and some software | 20:22 |
| serversides | ezech: Oh come on guys, I'm just asking about hosting my own mailserver because its been revleaed that the NSA have backdoors to big companies like MS and Google. Fuck me, right? | 20:22 |
| john_john | I've made sure that none of the inputs are muted in alsamixer. | 20:22 |
| Slart | just because you can't find a perfect security solution you shouldn't avoid doing the little things.. just don't get any illusions you're 100% safe because you avoid google | 20:22 |
| IdleOne | !language | serversides | 20:23 |
| ubottu | serversides: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 20:23 |
| ezech | serversides, just grow up a little | 20:23 |
| ezech | staying away from google, using pgp, would and will put you in nsa short 'to check' list | 20:24 |
| john_john | I tried installing gnome-media and configure the settings there | 20:24 |
| iceroot_ | serversides: everything fine with your question and it is always good to avoid google, apple, oracle, ms and other stuff like that | 20:24 |
| serversides | Sorry for the swearing. All I'm asking is some mail server solution | 20:25 |
| Naphatul | nothing? | 20:25 |
| iceroot_ | serversides: you can use pgp with every mailserver, it is a client solution | 20:25 |
| ezech | iceroot_, also, lenovo, ibm, asus, huawei, acer, dlink, cisco, netgear, intel, amd, nvidia, ... | 20:25 |
| iceroot_ | serversides: i would suggest to use "thunderbird" together with "enigmail" | 20:25 |
| iceroot_ | ezech: yes, everything which is not Free should be avoided, yes | 20:25 |
| Pici | serversides: Do you have an actual question about the setup? | 20:25 |
| Pici | tin-foil hat discussion is offtopic for this channel. | 20:26 |
| ezech | iceroot_, you're on internet - it was made for military purposes, you know that? | 20:26 |
| Pici | move on. | 20:26 |
| iceroot_ | ezech: this is the ubuntu suppport channel, you know that? | 20:26 |
| jilebedev | Hi. I can mount a DFS share and list its directory structure in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I cannot do the same in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. In 12.04, I can only get a top-level directory listing. I'm using identical entries in the fstab, and identical credentials. Any ideas? | 20:27 |
| === Companion is now known as companion | ||
| serversides | Pici: Well I have a LAMP stack, have Postfix installed. You know what, forget the privacy concerns because its a sore subject with some of you. How about just some adivce with different solutions? I was thinking so far of Zimbra | 20:28 |
| serversides | I don't now what is good to use for mail. | 20:28 |
| jost_ | Sorry if this is not ubuntu-specific, but I can't find an appropriate channel. I have a php script that acts as mail delivery agent - it may for example be used as parameter for the mda keyword of fetchmail. Now I can't use fetchmail, because it is and will not installed. So my idea is to write a small php script fetching the mails and calling that script the same way fetchmail does. | 20:28 |
| iceroot_ | serversides: if you just need mail, postfix is fine, if you need groupware there are other solutions | 20:29 |
| jost_ | Question is: how does fetchmail interface to an mda? | 20:29 |
| ezech | serversides, postfix is an enterprise grade solution | 20:29 |
| iceroot_ | serversides: when using postfix you also need a imap/pop solution like courier, postfix is just a mta (mail transport agent) | 20:30 |
| ezech | you need some experience in enterprise grade administering this piece of software, and you're set | 20:30 |
| serversides | iceroot: ezech: thanks. | 20:30 |
| john_john | Redshift doesn't work either | 20:30 |
| iceroot_ | serversides: my setup is postfix + courier-imaps + spamassassin, encrypted / and mostly pgp-mails on client-site | 20:31 |
| serversides | iceroot: would this be a good guide to start with? https://library.linode.com/email/postfix/dovecot-system-users-ubuntu-10.04-lucid | 20:31 |
| iceroot_ | serversides: dont know if the guide is good | 20:31 |
| iceroot_ | serversides: and i never used dovecot, always using courier-imap(s) | 20:31 |
| iceroot_ | serversides: and i never used dovecot, always using courier-imap(s) | 20:31 |
| serversides | ok | 20:31 |
| ezech | iceroot_, I'd ask who are you exchanging pgp encrypted mails with, but that would be off topic :P | 20:32 |
| iceroot_ | serversides: i wanted to switch to dovecot because it supports sieve-scrips but never had time to do it | 20:32 |
| iceroot_ | ezech: company, customers, familie and girlfriend | 20:32 |
| iceroot_ | ezech: all other mails are unencrypted | 20:32 |
| iceroot_ | ezech: but for the customer we use mostly SMIME (we are our own CA) | 20:33 |
| ezech | I just want to use DLNA enabled device in linux - not an easy task | 20:34 |
| john_john | Do I need drivers for an analog microphone? Or why does it not show up in my selection in skype? | 20:34 |
| ezech | john_john, it'd be a default input I guess | 20:35 |
| john_john | The only option I have is "PulseAudio" | 20:35 |
| Slart | john_john: I don't think you need drivers for the microphone.. but the soundcard might need drivers/configuration | 20:35 |
| kostkon | john_john, yes. that's normal | 20:35 |
| kostkon | john_john, you need to setup your mic in the sound prefs not skype | 20:35 |
| kostkon | john_john, ubuntu sound preferences* | 20:36 |
| serversides | exit | 20:36 |
| john_john | Kostkon: And what exactly should I press there? I don't get any sound. PuleAudio is streams audio from my computer and not from my mic o.o | 20:36 |
| ezech | pulse audio is just that - pulses audio, in and out | 20:37 |
| baphomet1 | has anyone in here tried running Plex from the official DEB file using amahi on ubuntu? | 20:37 |
| john_john | So, what should I Do? | 20:37 |
| kostkon | john_john, in the input tab, check that everything is ok. | 20:37 |
| john_john | kostkon: ah it was set to digital input. I changed it to rear microphone and now it's working. However I'm hearing myself | 20:40 |
| kostkon | john_john, from the speakers? | 20:41 |
| john_john | kostkon: from my headphones, yes | 20:41 |
| kostkon | john_john, check the output tab too then | 20:41 |
| ryan_turner|MTW | Hey, I have a lenovo ideapad Z400, I just installed 13.04 64bit and am trying to figure out how to get the touch screen to work. Any pointers? | 20:42 |
| ryan_turner|MTW | I googled it and some people talked about suspending it and recovering it? | 20:42 |
| ezech | ryan_turner|MTW, if it's lenovo, then use the nipple | 20:43 |
| ezech | it's way better, more accurate and one of the reasons to buy lenovo in the first place ;P | 20:44 |
| C624 | Hey guys. I'm on Ubuntu 12.04. Is there a way to make new windows appear in the center of the screen rather than the upper left? | 20:45 |
| john_john | kostkon: nothing seems to be wrong there, perhaps it's a skype option | 20:45 |
| Slart | ryan_turner|MTW: hmm, it seems there are lots of "suspend/resume and it works" reports out there.. haven't seen anything really useful besides that | 20:46 |
| kostkon | john_john, just start a test call and see what happens | 20:46 |
| kostkon | skype test call* | 20:46 |
| john_john | kostkon: just did, I hear myself at the same time I'm talking | 20:46 |
| kostkon | john_john, hmm. have a look again at all the available options, switches, ports in input and output tabs | 20:47 |
| Slart | john_john: run "alsamixer" in a terminal and lower the volume for the microphone output (ie not microphone input) | 20:47 |
| john_john | I'll try that | 20:47 |
| kostkon | john_john, or if you have such an option in input, do it there | 20:47 |
| ezech | I can't run vlc as a root? what circus is that? | 20:48 |
| john_john | kostkon: ah, it was the microphone boost one. Thanks for the help. I'll probably be back with more problems shortly :( | 20:49 |
| kostkon | john_john, ok :P | 20:49 |
| harovali1 | hi, I'm trying to configure dnsmasq, but when it stars, it conflicts with the dnsmasq that NetworKManager manages. How can I resolve that ? | 20:50 |
| harovali1 | it says: dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket for port 53: | 20:50 |
| harovali1 | the address is already in use | 20:50 |

| john_john | wow, what's up with SKype for ubuntu? :/ | 20:53 |
| Slart | john_john: skype is a weird little app.. anything in particular? | 20:54 |
| InFlames | skype has gone so downhill since ms bought it :[ | 20:54 |
| john_john | Slart: everything is split, there's no search, can't find recent group conversations etc. I guess there's no compact view | 20:54 |
| InFlames | john_john, i see my recent/group conversations. are you perhaps seeing the contact monitor? | 20:55 |
| Slart | john_john: ah, yes.. it's a bit different from the windows version.. I think you can download the version from their website and use that if you want.. it might be a bit more recent than the one from the repos | 20:55 |
| InFlames | there is not one combined view like windows has (which i never got used to anyhow) | 20:56 |
| ezech | there is no 'skype for ubuntu', there is skype for linux | 20:56 |
| kostkon | Slart, it's the same version | 20:56 |
| john_john | ezech: I know | 20:56 |
| john_john | Ezech: don't see how that would help me tho | 20:56 |
| ezech | john_john, help with what? | 20:56 |
| InFlames | skype is skype, microsoft is slowly ruining it, i'd abandon ship as soon as convenient :/ | 20:56 |
| ezech | just start it and use it | 20:56 |
| kostkon | ezech, there's a deb package for ubuntu on the skype site, so there is skype for ubuntu | 20:57 |
| Slart | kostkon: ah, didn't know that. Thanks | 20:57 |
| bekks | !skype | john_john | 20:57 |
| ubottu | john_john: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga | 20:57 |
| InFlames | koston, that's merely an old version of the same program | 20:57 |
| ezech | kostkon, it's just a way to package it, it's the same skype for any distribution | 20:57 |
| ezech | the same binary that is | 20:57 |
| kostkon | ezech, let's not play with semantics | 20:57 |
| kostkon | ezech, probably the same binary | 20:57 |
| ezech | kostkon, let's not, let's just call things for what they are | 20:58 |
| InFlames | it's the same package | 20:58 |
| nobodies | ok i think i've broke gnome is some way but im not sure how, let me describe what is happening | 20:58 |
| reveldevel | hello all | 20:58 |
| john_john | oh yeah I remember this | 20:58 |
| reveldevel | migrating from wubi to grub 2 and preparing a gparted livecd to change my partitions. any advice? | 20:59 |
| kostkon | john_john, a good addon is skype-wrapper. | 20:59 |
| john_john | kostkon: I'll look it up, thanks | 20:59 |
| nobodies | when i try to open some applications such as terminal and and system stuff it just opens a tab saying "starting whatever~ and later disapears. also thumbnails are not loading on an image on my desktop | 21:00 |
| Slart | reveldevel: keep a live-cd/live-usb ready if things don't work as they are expected.. oh, and backups of course | 21:00 |
| kostkon | john_john, you can even remove the skype icon from the tray and use it exclusively from the messaging menu, that is what skype-wrapper does, integrates skype to the msging menu. also enables native notifications | 21:00 |
| reveldevel | @ Slart backups:check | 21:01 |
| nobodies | firefox still opens though, not sure why, most other things wont | 21:01 |
| reveldevel | @ Slart livecd of 10.04 (verified) available but my cd-rs won't hold all of 12.04 :-( | 21:02 |
| wilee-nilee | nobodies, What desktop, what ubuntu release, and what makes you think you have broken it besides it not working? | 21:02 |
| ihre | If I mount a 100G hdd on /var/lib/backuppc, while my /var partition is actually 10G, could I use the additional 100G? | 21:03 |
| reveldevel | @ Slart working on a bootable usb, but it has failed to a black-screen-with-blinking-cursor prior to now... | 21:03 |
| Slart | reveldevel: oh.. well. the live cd should work.. it just need to be able to get things up and working if everything else fails | 21:03 |
| wilee-nilee | reveldevel, The is a wiki for transferring the wubi to a partitioned setup have you seen it? | 21:03 |
| nurow | Hmmm. I have two monitors. On one, I run Windows 7 via VirtualBox, and on the other is my host, Ubuntu. Any time I click on the VirtualBox monitor, the Unity interface disappears on the other monitor and I can't see the applications or time. It is really annoying. Is there any way to fix that? | 21:04 |
| wilee-nilee | !tab | reveldevel | 21:04 |
| ubottu | reveldevel: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 21:04 |
| john_john | Does anyone know if there's any replacement for f.lux on linux? I can't get it to work and I'm assuming it's because I'm using 64bit | 21:05 |
| nobodies | wilee-nilee, its actually backtrack so 10.04, i think i may have broke it because i installed gtk3 and a lot of dependancies from source. | 21:05 |
| radon210 | Hey how do I use gpu for graphics on ubuntu 13.04 I can't seem to install the proprietary driver without it preventing me from accessing the GUI and I can't seem to get vgaswitcheroo to use the discrete chip either, I prefer to stick with the xorg driver because it seems to be less buggy | 21:05 |
| r0bo | I have a boot problem on a Ubuntu VM that I have not been able to resolve using fsck or boot-repair. Here is all of my info http://paste.ubuntu.com/6064127/ can anyone help? When I try to boot I successfully decrypt the drive but then it gives me a BusyBox / initramfs prompt | 21:06 |
| wilee-nilee | nobodies, Not supported here. | 21:06 |
| reveldevel | @ wilee-nilee yes. and thanks for the !tab hints...catching on, if slowly ;-) | 21:06 |
| green_geeky_dude | exit | 21:07 |
| green_geeky_dude | exit | 21:07 |
| wilee-nilee | john_john, I see a refrence to a ppa from a couple of years ago, 64 bit should not matter. | 21:07 |
| wilee-nilee | nobodies, Backtrack is also end of life. | 21:07 |
| nobodies | wilee-nilee, ok then, can i ask though, is their a log file i can view to see whats happening when i hit the open terminal button? | 21:07 |
| wilee-nilee | nobodies, We would not really know here, it is a derivative, and sounds to be broken, I would install a OS that is supported by someone. | 21:08 |
| blazemore | john_john: Take a look at redshift http://jonls.dk/redshift/ | 21:09 |
| blazemore | john_john: I use it at work so can vouch for its flux-iness | 21:10 |
| reveldevel | @ Slart thanks. any experience using gparted from livecd? i believe i must run it like that as when i access gparted from inside my (wubi) ubuntu, i assume i cannot unmount the disk (as it is in use) to partition it. am i correct here or am i missing something? | 21:10 |
| abaddon | Hey guys, two questions here. First, is there a video play that plays videos through the term?? Exclude mplayer as it does vids in ASCII. Second question relates to my desktop. I'm sporting two screens with my system and each are seperate from one another- ie not cloned. I've been getting weird rendering issues where the screen doesn't render or fill correctly. What may be the cause of this? I can send a pic of the issue if needed | 21:10 |

| === tilal6991|away is now known as tilal6991 | ||
| blazemore | abaddon: If you find that you'd prefer to use the fglrx driver after all, you should install it from the Ubuntu repositories as its easier to install and keep up to date that way, as updates come automatically from the package manager. Instructions to do that are also on the same page | 21:23 |

| bedo2991_ | Hello, can anybody tell me how to boot in single user mode in Ubuntu 13.04? | 21:55 |
| jrib | bedo2991_: why? | 21:56 |
| ryan_turner|MTW | Hey, I have a lenovo ideapad Z400, I just installed 13.04 64bit and am trying to figure out how to get the touch screen to work. Any pointers? | 21:56 |
| ryan_turner|MTW | I googled it and some people talked about suspending it and recovering it? | 21:56 |
| bedo2991_ | already tried adding "single" instead of "quiet splash $vt_handoff" but it doesn't work | 21:56 |
| jrib | bedo2991_: why do you want to boot single user mode? | 21:56 |
| bedo2991_ | jrib: I have to run a benchmark on different algorithm and get their execution time. I want it to be "equal" limiting context switches and some other stuff. | 21:57 |
| bjrohan | I am running kubuntu and having font issues, however in that channel, they recommended that I ask here as well | 21:58 |
| bjrohan | Some applicatios the fonts work fine, others the fonts show up as blank squares | 21:58 |
| Monday | what is pulse audio | 21:58 |
| kostkon | Monday, a sound server | 21:59 |
| bedo2991_ | jrib: now that you know why, do you have a solution? :-) | 22:00 |
| Monday | when i try to install lightspark it tells me it will install a whole bunch of pulse audio stuff | 22:00 |
| jrib | bedo2991_: it's not clear to me that you need to use single user mode for this but, "single" should work. Alternatively, just use recovery mode which is pretty much the same | 22:01 |
| kostkon | Monday, are you running ubuntu or something like lubuntu | 22:02 |
| Monday | lubuntu | 22:02 |
| bedo2991_ | single seem to hang on "Adding 5... k swap on /dev/sda5." .... | 22:02 |
| jrib | bedo2991_: when you said adding "single" doesn't work, where exactly did you add it and how exactly did it not work? | 22:02 |
| bedo2991_ | Adding at the bottom of the linux /boot/vqmlinuz-... line editing the grub line pressing e, then running it pressing F10 | 22:03 |
| bedo2991_ | "ro single" | 22:03 |
| ryan_turner|MTW | any ideas on my touchscreen question? | 22:03 |
| OerHeks | bedo2991_, try " rw init=/bin/bash" | 22:04 |
| bedo2991_ | OerHeks: RW goes instead of RO? | 22:04 |
| OerHeks | bedo2991_, ro is read only, if that is what you want | 22:05 |
| kostkon | Monday, lubuntu comes without pulseaudio that's why. it's just recommended. just tell it not to install it like this: sudo apt-get install lightspark -no-install-recommends | 22:05 |
| Monday | okay thanks, and lightspark should work fine right? | 22:05 |
| bedo2991_ | OerHeks: Hurray! Thanks | 22:06 |
| kostkon | Monday, it will not install the pulse server, but will install the pulse libs anyway, they are hardwired dependencies | 22:06 |
| kostkon | Monday, hopefully | 22:06 |
| bjrohan_ | I am back, tried a few things, still having font iissues in kubuntu, they recommnedd I ask here | 22:06 |
| Pew | i dont think anyoine has gotten the touch working on the z400 touch yet, at least from what i am seeing | 22:06 |
| wilee-nilee | ryan_turner|MTW, Have some patience if someone knows they will answer, separate pleads for help from the problem posts makes it confusing at times. | 22:07 |
| ryan_turner|MTW | wilee-nilee, sorry, kept getting disconnected and bouncer is not playingback | 22:08 |

| ryan_turner|MTW | Is the touch device a USB device or something? | 22:10 |
| ryan_turner|MTW | Ah thanks pew | 22:10 |
| Pew | ryan_turner|MTW:that wasnt ,meant for you | 22:11 |
| Pew | it was meant for NedsFlam | 22:11 |
| ryan_turner|MTW | Oh, damnit. | 22:11 |
| bjrohan_ | I have some apps that the fonts are displaying fine, others they are not, I am using Kubuntu, in that forum, they suggested I ask here | 22:11 |
| Pew | I dont know what the z400 uses for touch, google around | 22:11 |
| bjrohan_ | In my guest account, everyting works fine | 22:11 |
| bjrohan_ | I renamed my main account .font folder, rebooted, still have issues | 22:12 |
| Pew | ryan_turner|MTW:http://askubuntu.com/questions/320379/touchscreen-worked-on-try-without-install-and-now-does-not | 22:12 |
| wilee-nilee | bjrohan_, This is due to tweaking correct? | 22:12 |
| ryan_turner|MTW | Pew yeah, mine never worked :/ | 22:12 |
| bjrohan_ | wilee-nilee, not hat I did on purpose. | 22:12 |
| bjrohan_ | wilee-nilee, the last program I installed was conky manager, uesterday, eveything was still fine, rebotted today, and oow the issue | 22:13 |
| wilee-nilee | bjrohan_, Do you remember when and why it changed? | 22:13 |
| Pew | https://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+ideapad+z400+touch&oq=ubuntu+ideapad+z400+touch&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i64.8956j0j1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 | 22:13 |
| bjrohan_ | now the isue | 22:13 |
| wilee-nilee | bjrohan_, Conky would not change system fonts it has its own place to do that. | 22:13 |
| bjrohan_ | I am using X-Xhat, where i enter the text is all boxes for letters, the window title is okay, the menu bar is fine, the list of names is awry as well | 22:13 |
| bjrohan_ | wilee-nilee, I see those fonts in the conly manager folder under each theme, and those fonts are in my home folder .fonts dir that is why I renamed it to see what would happen | 22:14 |
| wilee-nilee | bjrohan_, Xchat is another app, not system changing, maybe you should list exactly where the fonts are off. | 22:14 |
| bjrohan_ | wilee-nilee, In kubuntu, it appears the "stock" apps are all okay, Rekonq, KMail. Firefoex, Chrome, chromium are awry. Dolphin (stock kuuntu) is fine as well | 22:15 |
| bjrohan_ | Rekonq, KMial is okay, Firefox, chrome are not | 22:15 |
| bjrohan_ | wilee-nilee, here is a screenshot http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=35198co&s=5 | 22:16 |
| wilee-nilee | bjrohan_, I this a stock kubuntu install or was it added to another desktop already there or have you added others, or window managers | 22:16 |
| bjrohan_ | Stock install, I have no other DE installed | 22:17 |
| bjrohan_ | wilee-nilee, BRB | 22:18 |
| wilee-nilee | bjrohan_, I would utilize the .config, close xchat delete the xchat in it and restart it to see if its still the same .config may be what you have to let remake configs on these. | 22:19 |

| Ludovik | Ben66: Chromium lacks that functionality? | 23:01 |
| bjrohan | wilee-nilee: got that, I do see the .xchat directory, and in that an xchat2.conf, just delete that? | 23:01 |
| whiptail | chaotic_good, there's no problem using both each have their advantages | 23:01 |
| chaotic_good | what about nixos? | 23:01 |
| bjrohan | wilee-nilee: doing that was a no go, same issue | 23:02 |
| wilee-nilee | bjrohan, The whole xcht folder in .config it will make a new one, I believe you just have t tweak it how you want it like auto channels and passwors..etc. | 23:02 |
| whiptail | Ludovik, i think in developer options in chrome you can do that and im sure there's an extension for it | 23:02 |
| wilee-nilee | bjrohan, The whole folder? | 23:03 |

| wilee-nilee | bjrohan, If you ask a question don't just act and say it does not work. | 23:03 |
| wilee-nilee | without an answer | 23:03 |

| bjrohan | wilee-nilee: I do appreciate your help. Do you know where the guest account pulls its fonts from? Everything looks fine in the guest account | 23:06 |
| wilee-nilee | bjrohan, Would be the stock setup I assume. | 23:06 |
| bjrohan | Where do those come from? | 23:06 |
| fommil | wilee-nilee: I'm on "precise" 32 bit | 23:07 |
| fommil | wilee-nilee: those packages don't exist | 23:07 |
| whiptail | bjrohan, probably /usr/share/fonts | 23:07 |
| wilee-nilee | bjrohan, Not sure, there are probably easier ways to fix this then picking at it, I would purge and remove the apps that are a problem, and all their folders and reinstall them probably, since the stock apps are fine. | 23:08 |
| wilee-nilee | fommil, YOU might look for PPA's or debs to load, not sure really. | 23:09 |
| fommil | wilee-nilee: that would be insane. If I want to mess with the system I can create a symlink from libblas.so.3 to libblas.so :-/ | 23:10 |
| wilee-nilee | bjrohan, The ones you have mentioned have their own ability to tweak the fonts, detached from the system, I suspect you have done this and don;t remember or installed something that does. | 23:10 |

| SupaYoshi | All I need is to log some channels on freenode and esper | 23:19 |
| dr_willis | SupaYoshi: most any bouncer like ZNC can do that | 23:20 |
| scottkosty | OerHeks: I'm on a university computer so I'm not sure I have access to the router. | 23:20 |
| chiefseattle | whiptail, hi there | 23:20 |
| scottkosty | whiptail: what am I looking for in the output? | 23:20 |
| SupaYoshi | nice, is ZNC good? :) Cus I rather pick a good one then another one ;) | 23:20 |
| dr_willis | SupaYoshi: go TRY it and see | 23:20 |
| dr_willis | SupaYoshi: its not going to be a 3 clicks and its done setup by any means. you will need to read up on its docs | 23:21 |
| whiptail | scottkosty, make sure you are not connected to anything else when you do it, you're looking for 'estab' and a port number | 23:21 |
| linuxuz3r | what folder should i put my gtk3 themes? | 23:21 |
| dr_willis | linuxuz3r: .themes | 23:21 |
| OerHeks | scottkosty, university ahh, maybe you can peform a " nmap -sP 192.168.1.* " or some range like thet | 23:21 |
| SupaYoshi | Ah i love reading np at that mate, the question was just because there are so many different ones ;) I rather invest time in reading about a GOOD one then about an unsupported and old one ;) | 23:21 |
| SupaYoshi | But I got ya! :D | 23:21 |
| dr_willis | SupaYoshi: 'good' is subjective | 23:22 |
| Gsport | there are absolutlly no women at ubuntu-women | 23:22 |
| scottkosty | whiptail: ok, looks like I need to close some programs. | 23:22 |
| dr_willis | SupaYoshi: znc is in the repos. | 23:22 |
| dr_willis | SupaYoshi: theres #znc also | 23:22 |
| Gsport | scottkosty, close your irc client | 23:22 |
| dr_willis | !info znc | 23:23 |
| ubottu | znc (source: znc): advanced modular IRC bouncer. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0-2ubuntu1 (raring), package size 1013 kB, installed size 3357 kB | 23:23 |
| SupaYoshi | dr_willis: agreed agreed, however I rather have a subjective answer from you ;) then one from myself | 23:23 |
| SupaYoshi | But it sounds pretty awesome ;) hehe | 23:23 |
| Zeranoe | Does anyone know where the default include directories are defined? For example, how does my system to know to look into /bin /include and so on | 23:23 |
| wilee-nilee | chiefseattle, There is one specific helper at the ubuntu forums with wubi, You might make a thread there if you do not succeed, have wubi in the header, I have seen them here but sporadically. | 23:23 |
| SupaYoshi | Thanks! ;) Im going to go ahead and try that one out mate! Ty so much already | 23:23 |
| whiptail | scottkosty, and if you prefer gui option theres ubuntu's network tools then netstat tab, then active network services | 23:23 |
| scottkosty | Gsport: thanks but I'm not sure I need to. There are two ESTABs and the right-most column indicates "irssi" so I think it eliminates that one | 23:24 |
| dr_willis | the death of wubi will mark the end of an era. ;) and there will be much rejoiceing | 23:24 |
| whiptail | scottkosty, which is the other | 23:24 |
| scottkosty | whiptail: commandline is fine if it gives the same info | 23:24 |
| scottkosty | whiptail: ubuntuone-syncd :( | 23:24 |
| scottkosty | could it be a CLOSE-WAIT instead of a ESTAB? | 23:24 |
| scottkosty | I have a ubuntu-geoip-pr | 23:25 |
| whiptail | scottkosty, i dont ha | 23:25 |
| abaddon | OK, I completely cluster fudged a removal of my fglrx proprietary drivers that I got from AMD's site. I removed them but then installed the fglrx drivers from the repos. Now, wehen m y systejm starts up i get 2 errors. Xinit unable to connect to x server no such file exists AND xinit unexpected signal 2 | 23:25 |
| abaddon | my gpu is a radeon 6770 and i'm running ubu 1210 | 23:26 |
| Gsport | is there any distro using the new kernel? | 23:26 |
| reisio | Gsport: new? | 23:27 |
| dr_willis | 'any disrto' - i imagine thats a yes.. i bet there is A disrto out there that you can instggall the lateste kernell from kernel.org on | 23:27 |
| Gsport | yes new | 23:27 |
| dr_willis | now care to ask a bit more specific question. ;) | 23:28 |
| reisio | Gsport: new isn't a version, versions are made up of numbers and sometimes letters | 23:28 |
| mr-rich-76 | System76 laptop - ubuntu 13.04 - How do I manualy check for updates? | 23:28 |
| scottkosty | whiptail: I think your sentence got cut off. Either that or I don't understand 'ha' | 23:28 |
| Gsport | yes bash me with tecnicalitys | 23:28 |
| Gsport | if it makes you happy | 23:28 |
| dr_willis | Gsport: as a vague question - get a vague answer | 23:29 |
| jrib | Gsport: this channel is for ubuntu support | 23:29 |
| Luyin | Gsport: gentoo has 3.10 as the standard kernel atm | 23:29 |
| Gsport | everyone with 2 brain cells is thinking about the .11 version | 23:29 |
| jrib | Gsport: do you have an ubuntu-related questiona? | 23:29 |
| reisio | Gsport: everyone who wasted their time assuming what you meant instead of knowing, maybe | 23:30 |
| dr_willis | using ubuntu - means i rarely have to worry about the kernel. | 23:30 |
| Gsport | yes why the proprietary drivers always fail to work on my computer | 23:30 |
| dr_willis | perhaps because you are using a unsupported kernel? | 23:30 |
| whiptail | whiptail, did the printer service not find it automatically | 23:31 |
| whiptail | oops | 23:31 |
| Gsport | nop im using default | 23:31 |
| Gsport | i have an fx5200 nvidia | 23:31 |
| techkid6 | Ubuntu won't let me set the date | 23:31 |
| techkid6 | I am trying to set it to july 8th, but it keeps reverting to the 4th of september | 23:31 |
| Gsport | the opensource driver run way to slow with that card | 23:31 |
| scottkosty | looks like ubuntu-geoip-pr is not what I wanted. I thought 'pr' might be printer but its 'provider' | 23:32 |
| dr_willis | Gsport: is sugggest checking askubuntu.com and the forums and see if others have had issues with that exact chipset and your ubuntu version | 23:32 |
| Gsport | techkid are you trying to set the year 1970? | 23:32 |
| chiefseattle | wilee-nilee, thanks; i may have overcome all of my n00biocy | 23:32 |
| whiptail | scottkosty, short of trying ifconfig i'd try the router web interface to see connected devices as before | 23:32 |
| wilee-nilee | chiefseattle, Heh, congrats. ;) | 23:32 |
| whiptail | whiptail, mentioned before* | 23:33 |
| scottkosty | whiptail: it is a network printer at a university. I don't have access to the router interface | 23:33 |
| abaddon | OK, I completely cluster fudged a removal of my fglrx proprietary drivers that I got from AMD's site. I removed them but then installed the fglrx drivers from the repos. Now, when my system starts up I get 2 errors. Xinit unable to connect to x server: no such file exists AND xinit:unexpected signal 2. I've a Radeon 6770 gpu and my sys is Ubu 1210. I'm assuming it clearly has to do with X but what is it that's missing? Or have I failed | 23:33 |
| abaddon | to set something up? | 23:33 |
| scottkosty | whiptail: perhaps if I start printing something it will show up in ss? | 23:33 |
| whiptail | scottkosty, do you have a shell account there | 23:33 |
| wilee-nilee | techkid6, Why july 8th? | 23:33 |
| whiptail | scottkosty, worth a try | 23:34 |
| scottkosty | whiptail: I have ubuntu installed | 23:34 |
| scottkosty | whiptail: ok | 23:34 |
| whiptail | scottkosty, if keeping an eye on the connection try 'watch ss -ap' instead | 23:35 |
| techkid6 | Gsport: No, 2013 | 23:36 |
| nurow | could anyone tell me the easiest way to auto-mount particular drives when my computer boots? | 23:36 |
| Gsport | a friend of mine tells me the NSA is using ubuntu on VMs | 23:36 |
| techkid6 | wilee-nilee: Because I am trying to get my printer to print a lost paper which was supposed to be printed the 8th | 23:36 |
| wilee-nilee | !fstab | nurow | 23:36 |
| ubottu | nurow: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 23:36 |

| waterlite | Hello! | 23:38 |
| whiptail | scottkosty, nice one | 23:38 |
| FreeNET | hello | 23:38 |
| Gsport | hi | 23:38 |
| SupaYoshi | Hey dr_willis: I just looked into ZNC, and the installation takes up ~200 MB approx. because I need so many packages. isnt there something smaller? :3 Or should I just do it (BTW 12.04 Server) | 23:38 |
| techkid6 | I am running either 12.04 or 12.10 on this machine, I forget | 23:38 |
| scottkosty | whiptail: thanks a lot for your patience and help. This gives me motivation to read about sockets now :) | 23:38 |
| techkid6 | I set thetime to manual, and changed the date | 23:38 |
| techkid6 | but it isn'tworking | 23:38 |
| Gsport | thats cause you are using NPT noob | 23:38 |
| techkid6 | npt? | 23:39 |
| phunyguy | !noob | Gsport | 23:39 |
| whiptail | scottkosty, cool stuff, the depth of the topic neverends, very interesting topic | 23:39 |
| ubottu | Gsport: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. | 23:39 |
| * techkid6 hasn't used linux in over a year on a desktop :/ | 23:39 | |
| reisio | some of those aren't acronyms! :p | 23:39 |
| phunyguy | Gsport: also, it is NTP, not NPT. | 23:39 |
| scottkosty | whiptail: I imagine. I've stayed away since it seems complicated. But I've got a "Beginning Linux Programming" chapter on it so it might be time to take the dive. | 23:40 |
| scottkosty | whiptail: In any case, thanks for the help. | 23:40 |

| whiptail | techkid6, cant you just edit the document to have whatever date you want | 23:43 |
| techkid6 | No, because I am printing a webpage (because citing the sources isn't enough) | 23:43 |
| Gsport | whiptail, ;-) | 23:43 |
| techkid6 | And she wanted it printed the day it was originally accessed | 23:43 |
| techkid6 | I just realized that | 23:43 |
| Gsport | like that woill work :) | 23:43 |

| whiptail | techkid6, save the webpage, edit its source | 23:44 |

| whiptail | abaddon, i had a similar issue ages ago i used this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/VideoDriverDetection#Problem:_Need_to_purge_-fglrx then used the open source | 23:54 |
| bjrohan | wilee-nilee: I checked all of my fonts, nothing seemed awry with them (used the font manager to see if they all displayed). I restarted, everything looked okay, then slowly FireFox stopped displaying pages correctly, however the window items were fine, as were Chrome, and XChat. odd indeed | 23:54 |
| whiptail | abaddon, and this was extremely useful https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver | 23:54 |

| AngryKeyboarder | Hi guys, I'm new to Linux. What command do I run to find the default gateway of my system? Thanks in advance for your help! | 23:54 |
| techkid6 | w/in 41 | 23:55 |
| techkid6 | Sorry | 23:55 |
| phunyguy | AngryKeyboarder: route | 23:55 |
| phunyguy | AngryKeyboarder: just that command should give you one that says 0.0.0.0 or the like | 23:55 |
| wilee-nilee | bjrohan, You can reset firefox, and also open it without add ons. | 23:55 |
| AngryKeyboarder | default 192.168.1.10 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 | 23:55 |
| whiptail | nice | 23:55 |
| AngryKeyboarder | so it's 192.168.1.10? | 23:56 |
| phunyguy | AngryKeyboarder: that would be it | 23:56 |
| phunyguy | AngryKeyboarder: you tell me? :( | 23:56 |
| AngryKeyboarder | Thanks guys! I got what I needed. | 23:56 |
| MACscr | can you actually install rpm's on an ubuntu system? I am needing to install a driver for my 10g card | 23:56 |
| bjrohan | wilee-nilee: makes sense | 23:57 |
| MACscr | saw that someone wrote an install script; rpm -ivh --force-debian --nodeps ${TOPDIR}/RPMS/${target_cpu}/*mlnx* | 23:57 |
| ibanezrawker | I dont know if i got a bug or what, but my screen flashes different colors when i try to start ubuntu | 23:57 |
| wilee-nilee | MACscr, Not really, are you sure this does not exist in a form ubuntu can use? | 23:57 |
| OerHeks | MACscr, alien could extract the files you want, but i wonder the same as wilee-nilee | 23:58 |
| Gabboz | ibanezrawker, i wouldn't take that too seriously. If it flashes at login/userspace screens then I would | 23:59 |
| MACscr | OerHeks: i will keep searching, but i dont think so. I saw that mellanox recommended using OFED, but im not sure if that just for IB mode or what (my card does infiniband and 10GbE) | 23:59 |
