[00:01] few ways to go around it [00:01] the ways i suggested were xbacklight, which allows you to change screen brightness through terminal. [00:02] and command line based keyboard functions [00:02] mm-hmm [00:02] but he said his setting was saved as nomode , which meant no hotkeys were activated [00:02] and just running xbacklight forced them on === Aaron is now known as Guest61897 [00:04] the ./configure files used for building a package are shell scripts right?

[01:37] taylor_, Any boot menu? [01:38] 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] wille-nilee it partitioned the hard drive tho, i can tell that much from the windows side [01:39] boot repair might be worth a go.

[01:41] taylor_: also did the install disk boot in UEFI mode or bios mode? [01:41] taylor_, Your lucky on letting the installer resize windows I alwats advise people to use the windows disk manager, leaving a unallocated space for linux. [01:42] TheMaverick`: try looking at the logs to see what is going awry [01:42] always* [01:42] is there any key to be able to exit to prompt again if the terminal don show again the prompt input ?

It's pointless to do it thatway [01:43] i can close the terminal and open it again... but was thinking not do that always [01:43] histo, That is an opinion and not valid.

[01:48] Impossible: I believe you can right click on the panel to move it [01:48] taylor_: kind of. You need a valid efi applicatoin in /boot [01:49] yay, figured this new laptop would be the same as my other computers [01:49] taylor_: running boot-repair should fix it [01:49] taylor_: uefi is rather new. You did use a 64bit version of ubuntu right? [01:49] yes [01:49] histo:gotcha thanks, i can also switch the minimize close and max to left right [01:50] taylor_: A lot of people find it confusing but it's actually much nicer [01:50] Almost solved.

[02:25] lol @ grub not seeing itself [02:25] because i can see some values/keys on gsettings that i can see on gconf [02:25] (the idea sounds funny) [02:26] like the key name /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop [02:26] what do you mean it will not see itself?

[02:54] sda* [02:54] i.e. sudo grub-install /dev/sda or /dev/sda5 [02:55] somsip: thank you, this seems better than an extension am i correct? [02:55] Impossible: it's better in some ways, worse in others [02:55] anyone has wavemon installed ? [02:55] Impossible: it can't deal with ads that are hosted on the servers you are interested in getting data from [02:55] dinosaurvskitten: whereas adblock can handle that, assuming the ads follow a specific pattern [02:56] Impossible: depends what you want it to do. I use different browser and don't want to run extensions on them that slow them down [02:56] Impossible: I would just use both [02:56] Impossible: unless you're running a computer from the late 90s backward, in which case the host file by itself should do [02:56] could anyone try to help me out with a hard drive problem im having? [02:56] somsip: dinosaurvskitten: thanks [02:57] hello guys, I already set up a samda-ldap server and I want to know how to set-up a samba-ldap client. I know how to setup a ldap to the client but how about the samba client? [02:57] !ask [02:57] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [02:57] adblock only hides ads....it doesn't prevents it from downloading [02:58] hmm thats interesting! [02:59] what is wrong with wavemon ? when doing sudo wavemon - it goes to console with screen full of output and freezes [02:59] full system freezes [02:59] Hey everyone, I have an external drive formatted in NTFS. just started having a problem that files are not showing up. If i plug it into my windows machine they are there but not in Ubuntu. I've been using ubuntu for about a year now and this is the first time this has happened. [03:00] until system is manually rebooted with power button [03:02] what is wrong with wavemon ? when doing sudo wavemon - it goes to console with screen full of output and freezes full system until system is manually rebooted with power button. is it buggy and should I uninstall it ? [03:06] universal, looks like a bug [03:06] Johnny_Linux: so it should be submitted ? [03:06] thats up 2 u [03:07] Johnny_Linux: well...it will help its devlopment and stability [03:07] so how to submit that bug ? Johnny_Linux [03:19] I think one more bug in ubuntu.....when I disconnect all the networks including lan and wifi and hit the keyboard wifi disable button then wifi gets disabled but its still shown in NM gui but if connect a wifi connection in NM gui and hit keyboard wifi enable/disable buttn repeatedly then it disables/removes/hides and shows the wifi entries in NM gui like it should [03:20] what program may i use to make a bootable usb [03:20] of ubuntu [03:21] or any distro [03:21] Impossible, In what OS, ubuntu? [03:21] yes [03:22] Impossible, I like the multisystem loader seen at pendivelinux [03:22] pendrivelinux* [03:22] a whole buncha iso's if you want on one stick [03:23] wilee-nilee: any ideas about my problem ? [03:23] pendrivelinux.com? [03:24] Impossible, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ yes [03:25] wilee-nilee: thanks! [03:25] Impossible: if you just want to test ubuntu and see how it works....then use startup disk creator preinstalled in ubuntu....it will create a liveusb of ubuntu [03:25] so i fixed my grub loader after a clean install of windows on another partition. now when grub loads. i have two entries for windows 7. sda1 and sda2. dont think that was there before. i know windows 7 creates a 2nd partitin for system reserve [03:25] Impossible, no prob. [03:26] universal, which one? [03:26] universal: i want to fully install it on another machine [03:26] wilee-nilee: I think a bug in ubuntu.....when I disconnect all the networks including lan and wifi and hit the keyboard wifi disable button then wifi gets disabled but its still shown in NM gui but if connect a wifi connection in NM gui and hit keyboard wifi enable/disable buttn repeatedly then it disables/removes/hides and shows the wifi entries in NM gui like it should [03:26] good night people [03:26] Impossible: install it on other machine through pendrive ? [03:27] universal, If you want to block adds that are flash run noscript a FF addon. [03:27] universal, NO idea on that one. [03:27] wilee-nilee: also what is wrong with wavemon ? when doing sudo wavemon - it goes to console with screen full of output and freezes full system until system is manually rebooted with power button. is it buggy and should I uninstall it ? [03:28] universal, No idea, and addresing people randomly is considered rude by some, generally I would have not answerd. [03:29] we don't always remember who we have helped in the past either [03:30] wilee-nilee: addressing in what way ? you were answering some other ppl....so I asked and not addressed anything else except a question ! [03:31] universal, We have a norm of waiting for help, in other is considered rude by many, it is not showing patience, and respect. [03:31] 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] I suspect rtkit but that's just a hunch [03:31] the only way to "fix" it is to reboot, so it's definitely a deadlock [03:32] Nisstyre-laptop, Ah rootkit would have needed admin is this possible? [03:32] wilee-nilee: you mean it would be doing this if it were not running under root? [03:32] I don't see why it would cause deadlocks [03:33] no it needs admin to run hence "root" kit [03:33] wilee-nilee: I'm not saying it's a rootkit [03:33] http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/rtkit [03:33] Nisstyre-laptop, and this "I suspect rtkit but that's just a hunch" means? [03:33] the reason I suspect that is because it handles process and thread scheduling, which would cause a deadlock [03:34] Nisstyre-laptop, You missed my point have you been loose in your apps run, or have a bad pasword...etc [03:35] wilee-nilee: no [03:35] run in root when installing stuff..etc [03:35] meaning a rooted terminal [03:36] wilee-nilee: I know what you meant, no I haven't been rooted [03:36] Nisstyre-laptop, Have you been installing without sudo in other words? [03:36] my system is just deadlocking for some reason when I do things with heavy I/O [03:36] wilee-nilee: I know what you mean, that's irrelevant [03:36] cool, I doubt a rootkit, but you could try chkroot and rkhunter [03:36] that would not help at all [03:37] Nisstyre-laptop, Well you seem to know everything already so best of luck. [03:39] quit [03:46] 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] being used [03:46] I can search for things in them, and they do not show even after an apt-get update [03:46] And things that should be upgraded are not being upgraded [03:47] How would I start troubleshooting this? [03:48] Pewp, remove the ppas, the apt-get update and upgrade... reboot,,, add the ppa again and apt-get update and upgrade [03:48] i would think backports and beta would be redundant or conflicting [03:48] Alright, fair enough. [03:48] dr_willis:negative [03:48] it works finne [03:48] I used that same setup for 2 yeafrs [03:48] and multiple kmubuntu major versions [03:49] seems like backports would always be older versions then what would be in beta [03:49] there is stuff not in beta [03:49] like caligre [03:49] makes me wonder it got backported from. ;-) [03:50] space [03:50] And i want to use caligre over libreoffice. And dpkg/apt is more than smart enough to do this stuff [03:50] 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] actually backpouts come from the next release dont they? [03:50] So test really new stuff [03:51] caligre isnt in mirrors [03:51] ppa only, kubuntu:backports [03:51] Anyways, try the recommendation [03:51] that just seems weird. [03:51] Ya, oh well [03:51] !backports [03:51] 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] I cant help it [03:52] I understand backports [03:52] I used them on CentOS for a long time [03:52] And backporting kernels [03:52] ie features from 2.6.30 into 2.6.19 or whatever [03:53] i wouldent think a backport would have packages not in the normal repos. but kde may be weird [03:53] there is kubuntu beta, kubuntu backports, and kubuntu beta backpoorts and one more. [03:54] 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] kubuntu experimental [03:54] not beta, my mistake [03:54] https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa [03:54] I use all those besides staging obviously [03:55] backports are for developments right? [03:56] Hi there, how can I change the user name without change any profile configuration? [03:57] if a new version of gedit comes out it may get backported so a older release can insrall it. [03:57] for example [03:57] anyone here care to give me a hand pls ? i am trying to remove postfix and i get errors [03:57] like the versiin in 13.10 getting backported ti the 13.04 backport repos [03:57] Errors were encountered while processing: [03:57] postfix [03:57] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [03:58] invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/postfix not found.

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] Babalau: what happens if: postfix [04:25] postfix: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directory [04:25] Babalau: how did you install it?

(32 bit system) [04:28] unclezipper: doesen't work eighter [04:28] Babalau: Sounds like you had something weird happen... Did you have a power failure or anything during the install? [04:29] unclezipper: yeah, that's the weird thing .... i didn't have a power failure [04:29] i can't figure out what went wrong [04:29] and nothing i did seems to be able to fix this [04:29] but im sure there is a fix [04:29] Weird [04:29] it has to be [04:30] I've been having some problems with the repos lately, myself [04:30] Do a pastebin of `strace postfix` [04:31] http://pastie.org/8296468 === jim is now known as Guest94429 [04:34] Babalau: There's nothing too telling there... Did you try `sudo touch /etc/postfix/main.cf` and then running postfix? [04:34] Well, I removed the ppa,s updated repo cache as usual, rebooted, added just one ppa, updated, and again not working [04:34] But all my other ppas work [04:34] I have no idea what happened, or what is supposed to go in main.cf [04:34] unclezipper: well.. that i didnt try [04:35] how do I have ubuntu run a command which doesnt need root privileges when i boot my computer [04:35] Babalau: Give it a shot. Maybe if it finds a file there it'll do something [04:35] Pew, Have you checked the ppa has your OS listed and the packages you want? [04:35] wilee-nilee:of course [04:35] im looking right at them [04:35] this onl,y happened after a fresh install [04:35] any errors? [04:35] unclezipper: well.. im getting different errors with apt-get remove now ... will touch the missing files aswell [04:35] wilee-nilee:none, the packages just arent in the apt ache [04:36] Pew, You ran a update after adding the ppa? [04:36] of course [04:36] already said that [04:36] well ... [04:36] * Pew doesnt come here to ask dumb questions :P [04:36] 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 [04:37] unclezipper: after touching some other files, the one that did it was touch /etc/init.d/postfix [04:37] unclezipper thats not what i mean [04:37] i want to run a command automatically when i boot ubuntu [04:37] devslash: Do you mean when the computer boots, or when you first log in? [04:37] either one [04:38] doesnt matter [04:38] log in is really easy [04:38] session settiongs [04:38] thx unclezipper for the ideea [04:38] i dont use unity, but im sure they have session settings [04:38] Babalau: Not a problem... Hope it points you in the right direction [04:38] how do i do that [04:38] You add it there, and it loads on login [04:38] unclezipper: worked :) [04:39] nerdtron:any ideas why these ppas still wont work? [04:39] 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] devslash:settings or wherever its called in unity, and session [04:39] im using whatever gui you get with ubuntu [04:39] unity [04:40] right [04:40] i just told you, go to settings [04:40] and look for the sessions options [04:40] Babalau: Awesome. Does postfix work as expected?

I'd ask them and if they say no, look at the Google results for that error message. [05:42] Another possible cause is that the way NFS support is checked for in the kernel.

[08:09] ive supplied the correct ip but i cant still ping any site [08:09] i also wanst able to ping the ubuntu machine remotely.. [08:10] ive supplied the correct public ip though [08:10] D30: can you verify there is an internet connection? [08:10] D30: "supplied the correct ip" to what? [08:11] DuncanNZ: yes there is.. as ive used this ip in my other box and it connect to the internet [08:11] gordonjcp: supplied it to my ubuntu server... [08:11] D30: so to clarify, you can't ping anything at all? [08:11] eg. ping google.com [08:11] yes DuncanNZ [08:11] eventhough the gateway ip [08:11] so clearly there is no network connection [08:12] Logwatch mail tells me that Logged 19 packets on interface i0 [08:12] does that means successfull connections ? [08:12] for example From 59.76.117.117 - 1 packet to tcp(4899) [08:12] it says Destination Host Unreachable when pinging gateway.. [08:12] D30: please run ifconfig | pastebinit and post the URL [08:12] ok DuncanNZ [08:12] actually sorry that won't work with no internet [08:13] just run ifconfig and tell me what you see below the eth0 or relevant interface [08:13] you should see something like inet addr:192.168.1.1 [08:13] D30:^ [08:13] yes there is DuncanNZ [08:13] what is the ip? [08:14] theres inet addr:108.171.41.20 [08:14] DuncanNZ: [08:14] D30: hmm that's not in the private range so that seems odd for the local IP address [08:15] DuncanNZ: its public :) [08:15] ive used it in my windows machine and i can connect to the internet [08:16] 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] why aren't you just using a private IP and portforwarding the relevant ports [08:17] DuncanNZ: im using a server for testing [08:17] 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] even the gateway is unreachable [08:17] 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] im using 12.04 server btw.. [08:18] are this unresponsive packets or dropped ones ? [08:18] D30: Is this a server in a datacentre, or on your home connection? [08:18] D30: Probably because it has a private ip address, which isn't within the "network" you've configured your interface to use. [08:18] yes blazemore it is.. i forgot to mention that [08:18] D30: what Jordan_U said. Use a private IP and portforward. Otherwise that just makes no sense.

[08:43] Unreal Tournament: Game of the Year Edition lol [08:44] hi guys.. why is /etc/init.d/networking restart command is deprecated in 12.04? [08:44] i did some changes on my interface but how many times i restart the configuration but still it didnt change [08:44] !upstart | D30 [08:44] D30: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [08:44] D30: How did you make the changes? Did you try service networking restart? [08:45] trisquel: UT is a vintage game now [08:45] blazemore: i used the usual command sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [08:45] D30: That hasn't been "usual" for some years now [08:45] hmmn lol [08:45] yeah its the grandfather of multiplayer online FPS games [08:45] so what to do when restarting network services blazemore ? [08:46] D30: ''sudo restart networking'' or ''sudo service networking restart'' [08:46] D30: Make your changes in /etc/network/interfaces or whatever, and then do service networking restart [08:46] its so surprising to see ppl play games which are as old as their grandfather [08:46] Is there any wy of contacting the Canonical Sales Dept ? 3 times using Emails they dont answer.... [08:47] hmm blazemore its says sudo: networking : command not found :( [08:47] D30: "sudo service networking restart" said that? :o [08:47] !canonical Ba7a7chy [08:49] blazemore: :( [08:50] D30: Check you typed it properly [08:50] D30: You omitted the word "service" which is actually quite important here [08:51] blazemore: http://pastie.org/8296850 [08:51] That's fine, they're not errors [08:51] What about service networking start? [08:52] its the same blazemore [08:52] its says network stop/waiting :( [08:52] D30: It's working then. What are you trying to do? [08:52] i configured an eth1 interface [08:53] but when issued ifconfig [08:53] theres no eth1 displaed [08:53] but i already added it in /etc/network/interfaces [08:53] D30: Can you put the contents of /etc/network/interfaces on a pastebin?

[08:55] There's a typo in there, "autho" should be auto [08:55] blazemore: actually, when I open brightness and lock from system seettings.....lock option is totally faded out.....so I have to enable it through dconf only [08:55] universal: I guess you don't have a choice then :) [08:56] blazemore: is this good enough to change username - http://askubuntu.com/questions/34074/how-do-i-change-my-username ? dr_willis [08:57] Ok, have a problem that has been driving me insane.

[09:00] I'll try that, but I thought I had already tried that to no avail [09:00] the problem is that the 0seconds grub make it a 1/20 attempt to access recovery mode [09:01] 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?

[09:16] loco: What exact folder? [09:17] "/etc/apt" [09:17] 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/ [09:18] I actually tried to write "/etc/apt" for about 5 times. [09:18] Ipsilon, chillax, think and enjoy. [09:18] loco: What do you mean you tried to write it?

At some point the university is either going to need to pay for new hardware or hire a kernel developer to develop decent drivers. Proprietary drivers are terrible.

[10:47] yes [10:47] disabled the ehci_hcd [10:47] for the usb issue [10:47] expect, and how do I do that?

[10:48] velho: Did you try Googling "ubuntu reset password" ? [10:48] hello any hint on the issue im facing? [10:48] I assume you can't reach the console if you forgot the password [10:48] expect: As another user [10:48] trying to install an ubuntu instance with KVM+qemu [10:48] while installation of bootloader arrives, it just dont' proceed further..

[10:48] I don't use ubuntu for months!! I just want to make some updates... [10:49] velho: You forgot your password, nobody else, stop making out like this is some major Ubuntu problem [10:49] 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] velho, what he said ... [10:50] !password|velho, [10:50] 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] 'Morning all [10:50] blazemore, no need to be agressive. I've never said it was a major ubuntu problem. relax [10:50] afternoon [10:51] thanks ubottu :D [10:51] identify [10:51] any1 experience with pxe install ubuntu 12.04 (full install over network) [10:51] to this command "cd /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd" it answered "can't cd to /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd" [10:52] whiteshark, the #ubuntu-server channel most likely [10:52] whiteshark: You might have better chances asking in #ubuntu-server and by refraining from using "any1" but "anyone" ;) [10:52] tnx, u right [10:52] oh, and s/u/you/ [10:52] ^^ [10:53] !u | bab [10:53] 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'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. [10:53] 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] 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] velho: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:54] velho, yes it's risky which is why you proceed with due caution. [10:54] velho, but it does work if you do EXACTLY the process given [10:54] cfhowlett, ok, thank you :) [10:55] tere [10:55] cfhowlett, but can I recover/reset the password without changing any customization already made? [10:56] <|ryan|> the likelihood of actullay breaking something while in a root shell is nonexistant [10:56] 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] 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] cfhowlett, thank you for the clarification :D [10:57] What is all that about? [10:57] Galaxor, yep, not a good sign. could be your drive is failing. they do that. [10:57] 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] if you have any idea/advice, much appreciated :) [10:59] 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] Launchpad bug 947568 in Getting Things GNOME! "[hamster-plugin] Don't start hamster new activity" [High,Triaged] [10:59] the moment. Some [10:59] uhmm, huh, that was incomplete thought! ;P [10:59] that was a middle-click accident? [10:59] 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] cfhowlett, ! AHA! I remembered the password :D thank you for all the great support, OpenFriends :) [11:00] blazemore: yup :) [11:00] any1 able to help on PXE issues? server channel not responding sry [11:00] Galaxor, dd from a known failing drive? well, GIGO. Hope for the best, but warm of the backups ... just in cae. [11:01] what's the issue whiteshark [11:01] how to can I get live update of my log file using cat command in ubuntu ? [11:01] sharpshooter: use tail -f, not cat [11:01] tail -f [11:02] thanks :) [11:02] 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] blazemore: wonder if bulding gtg or hamster from git is a practical thing to do right now? [11:02] NET||abuse: It depends if you really want it or not [11:02] servers, so i have my own http server with a mounted iso in /www/ubuntu/ [11:02] 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? [11:03] the installation refuses the mirror [11:03] blazemore: well, any tim etracker that i can plug into from a task list, that's all i need [11:03] google talks abut some casper folder [11:03] for extra points, if i can sync the task list from android ( no need to sync the timer) [11:03] but none of my iso's contain any folder named casper [11:03] NET||abuse: What about a web-based one? [11:04] 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] blazemore: nah, integration is key with time tracker, webbased is so slow and doesn't have presence in the workspace, [11:05] Needs to be a client app that is integrated into the notification area [11:07] 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. [11:08] Galaxor, if the filesystem is corrupted you're better off reinstalling. [11:13] hai i have doubt on lubuntu wine if anyone knows pls tell me [11:14] santhosh, what? [11:14] !details | santhosh [11:14] santhosh: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version ....

[11:25] the program saas32.exe has encouter serious problem need to close this can caused problem on deficency of wine [11:25] nice telugu [11:25] Could someone tell me where have i gone wrong in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Etherpad-liteInstallation at the NPM step? [11:25] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Etherpad-liteInstallation [11:25] sorry [11:26] santhosh, you got it right ? [11:26] yes [11:26] Ludovik what's with that site? what do you want of it? [11:27] santhosh, what is saas32.exe file ? [11:27] MonkeyDust: It's my school webportal but I can't seem to get it to function in Chromium or F.Fox.

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] santhosh, because the exe is not compatible with the file saas32.exe [11:27] nobody in #ubuntu-server is answwering [11:28] Ludovik yes, it's optimized for windows, mac or Oracle Linux [11:28] MonkeyDust: So there's no way to even login without Oracle Linux? [11:28] same i will try on ubuntu and centos it is worked perfectly [11:28] is there issuses in wine on lubuntu [11:28] santhosh, so may be there is some file or lib is missing [11:29] Ludovik i do see a place to login, what happens when you try? [11:29] space* [11:29] santhosh, check you wine version [11:29] no it is working on ubuntu [11:29] MonkeyDust: Logon failed as the language you have selected is not enabled for this database.

[11:36] hola [11:37] anyone? [11:37] help adding nodejs to path so I can install npm? [11:37] Wiz_KeeD: aren't those things available through apt? [11:37] I don't think so [11:37] !info nodejs [11:37] 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 [11:38] !info npm [11:38] 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] as this tutorial suggests https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Etherpad-liteInstallation [11:38] Wiz_KeeD: use apt [11:38] and I could have done the same with nodejs? :\ [11:38] Wiz_KeeD: that tutorial says to use apt first [11:38] It suggests adding some repository that's not official [11:39] which I wanted to avoid [11:39] 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] pfff, fuck [11:39] Now that nodejs is installed from source...can npm be installed from apt-get and work? [11:39] Wiz_KeeD, no need for that kind of language [11:40] I'm sorry about that, apologies [11:40] bad habbit [11:40] 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] I have no idea how to safely uninstall what I've done with the tutorial jrib [11:41] Wiz_KeeD: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Etherpad suggests etherpad has erepositories [11:41] hmm, [11:41] I'm in too deep now :( [11:41] ok, I installed gtg from the dail ppa, other issues happening :) i guess that is to be expected [11:41] Wiz_KeeD: although that page is also a year old, so you want to check other sources to make sure it's still accurate [11:42] so need to roll back to stable ppa and see if that's any better. [11:42] !checkinstall | Wiz_KeeD For future reference when you need to install via source [11:42] 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] Wiz_KeeD: did you use sudo at any point? [11:42] Wiz_KeeD: There may be an uninstall script in the tarball. [11:43] hai i have doubt on lubuntu wine if anyone knows pls tell me [11:43] 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] jrib, just to install npm thing [11:43] Wiz_KeeD: sudo bash npm-install-*.sh? This? [11:44] I tried that and it said it nodejs was not in the path [11:44] then i did sudo apt-get install npm [11:44] Wiz_KeeD: what did you run with sudo? [11:44] jrib, sorry? [11:44] I just did exactly as the tutorial stated, almost word for word [11:44] Wiz_KeeD: THen you installed it via apt (the package manager). [11:45] usr13, the npm package yes...nodejs I did it from source [11:45] Wiz_KeeD: Oh [11:45] now what... [11:46] 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] really [11:46] ? [11:46] what about make, make install and the export to path? [11:46] 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 === milessabin_ is now known as milessabin [11:47] Wiz_KeeD: that just puts files in /opt/etherpad and affects the etherpad user's PATH [11:47] 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] so it has not contaminated any other libs like in /usb/bin or lib or stuff like that? [11:47] Wiz_KeeD: etherpad user doesn't have permissions to put files anywhere other than his home [11:47] Wiz_KeeD: right [11:47] and if I didn't use sudo it should be a-ok [11:47] Wiz_KeeD: right [11:48] 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] 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] I could leave it like this if it works since it's the latest version from the site, might be newer than the repository [11:49] Wiz_KeeD: sure [11:49] Wiz_KeeD: just make sure you keep track of security issues and update accordingly. [11:49] let me try, thanks for the reassurment jrib! I feel a bit better now [11:50] It makes sense what you have said, without sudo it could not have touched the /usb/ part and anywhere else in the system [11:52] hi all [11:52] before I go any further jrib should I install etherpad as the turoaial suggests? [11:53] Wiz_KeeD: I don't know anything about etherpad. I would suggest also looking at its official documentation and comparing [11:53] Wiz_KeeD: they used to provide an apt repository but that seems to be gone [11:55] pfff [11:55] jrib, You're running a wrong version of node, you're using v0.6.12, we need v0.8.x or v0.10.x :\ [11:56] 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] hai i have doubt on lubuntu wine if anyone knows pls tell me [11:56] pixam: yes, its just different [11:56] Wiz_KeeD: so use the version you installed manually or find a ppa for nodejs (I'd be surprised if one does not exist) [11:57] ok. cool [11:57] pixam: try a live cd [11:57] what about viruses and malware? there's a lot of conflicting info on the net [11:57] 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] !virus | pixam [11:57] 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] jrib, am i not using the version install manually? i'm confused [11:58] Wiz_KeeD: unless you installed an old version manually, you're not [11:58] now i've deleted everything else [11:58] omg [11:58] 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] it says nodejs is already to the newest version with apt-get install nodejs [11:59] !info nodejs [11:59] nodejs (source: nodejs): Node.js event-based server-side javascript engine.

Use "adduser username" instead if you want a nicer wrapper around useradd [12:00] hmmnnn [12:00] let me try that [12:00] ben66, ok. thanks [12:00] thanks jrib [12:00] D30: (useradd won't create a home directory by default unless you pass -m). But I suggest you just use adduser instead [12:00] ok thank u for that input jrib [12:01] how can i delete that user anyway ? [12:01] userdel [12:01] last question, as i said i'm buying a new comp. do i have to take anything in consideration if i'm going to be running a linux on it?

This is with ubuntu 13.04 [12:22] zzZZZZzzzzz [12:22] <__marco> Hello!, I need to install python-twisted 12.0.0 in precise. What do you think is the best way to achieve that? [12:23] Quick question, Google tells me nothing. All embedded audio in my web browser is playing back at what sounds like slower than half speed. YT and the like sounds fine, though. Any thoughts? [12:25] 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] __marco: Unless I'm mistaken, wouldn't that just be through apt-get ? [12:26] matju: Reboot computer? Latest version? Uninstall reinstall? [12:27] 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. [12:28] 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] 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. [12:29] __marco: Sorry. =/ [12:29] matju: Okay, what about the other two things I said? [12:29] <__marco> lindar: you don't need to say sorry. [12:30] lindar: uninstall reinstall what exactly ? firefox ? something else ? [12:32] <__marco> lindar: has ubuntu a repository of its packages? launchpad I think, but I can find a specific package? [12:32] lindar: i just found out that clicking on the synaptic icon has no effect anymore. this worked yesterday too. === manu is now known as Guest67226 [12:34] matju: hit ctrl alt t to open a terminal, type firefox and hit Enter, do you see anything? [12:36] 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 [12:38] 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] blazemore: actually, the firefox icon of the dock does not work at all anymore. [12:39] blazemore: actually, that's not true, right-click menu works on the firefox icon, but it sure has trouble doing some things. [12:40] matju: might be worth resetting unity to it's default state [12:41] philinux: which is ?

If I do iperf tests between host and guest it's fast and after these tests the ssh connection to the guest is also normal speed again.

[13:05] great [13:05] carles, crontab? [13:06] jozefk: after killing Xorg the error seems to be banned [13:06] whiteshark I did, it seems that it didn't work. [13:06] jozefk: do you mean carlfj? [13:06] i mean the screen-off-thing i talked about yesterday [13:06] k, and this? sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libc6-dev [13:06] !info libc6-dev precise [13:06] libc6-dev (source: eglibc): Embedded GNU C Library: Development Libraries and Header Files. In component main, is optional. Version 2.15-0ubuntu10.4 (precise), package size 4978 kB, installed size 19607 kB [13:06] carles, yes sorry :) [13:06] no problem :-) [13:07] carlfj, Xorg? I don't remember already [13:07] ok. [13:07] my screen turns off kinda randomly [13:07] ah OK I know now [13:07] 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] so you got it working now? [13:07] and you told me to observe things right before it happens [13:07] just by killing the Xorg? [13:07] i couldnt find any still [13:07] if u use git u could.... git clone git://sourceware.org/git/glibc.git [13:07] but it seems killing Xorg helps [13:08] yeah, seems so for now. havent tried long enough though [13:08] blazemore Yeah, it's only for one program and I hear that messing with glib is tricky [13:08] any idea what could be the cause if killing Xorg really helps? [13:08] whiteshar [13:09] well Xorg is related to video isn't it? [13:09] blazemore whiteshark Thanks! I guess I'll just have to leave it and hope the devs fix it. [13:09] But it strange anyway [13:09] Or upgrades do. [13:09] k, but according to some users u can install it [13:09] lukjad: What is the application, as a matter of interest? [13:10] yeah [13:10] anyway, gotta wait if its really abandoned now [13:10] blazemore Steam Game, Crusader Kings 2. Metaserver loads but crashes instantly. Dev support said we needed to upgrade glib [13:10] my computer clock is dead how can i stop the disk check because of date in future after each reboot [13:10] ? [13:10] But said that it was tricky. [13:10] yeah [13:11] blazemore The support thread I found suggested a glibc 2.18 would fix the issue. [13:12] blazemore But I'm hesitant to actually push an install that isn't in the repos or a simple update. [13:12] lukjad, is it 32bit or 64? [13:12] 64 bit [13:12] http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?718448-Log-in-to-metaserver-crashes-on-Arch-Linux-64bit&highlight=metaserver+crash [13:13] Note that I run Ubuntu 12.04 64bit [13:13] think u need sudo apt-get install libc6-i386 [13:14] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded. [13:14] The package "libc6-i386" is for an "amd64" Ubuntu ... [13:14] get it here http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libc6-i386 [13:15] whiteshark but: libc6-i386 is already the newest version. [13:15] Doesn't that mean it's already installed? [13:15] yes [13:15] it means u have the latest === abdeljalil is now known as Leo [13:15] the latest based on ur repo [13:16] apt-cache show libc6 [13:16] this show the version u have === Leo is now known as leomca [13:16] Depends: libc-bin (= 2.15-0ubuntu10), libgcc1, tzdata [13:17] whiteshark ^ === leomca is now known as kassano === kassano is now known as Abdeljalil [13:21] did some research [13:22] it looks like ur using 64-bit and ur app need probably 32 bit sudo apt-get install ia32-libs [13:22] u should look it up [13:23] if this is the case [13:23] I'm looking for a nonfree Linux driver for my ethernet port since Ubuntu didn't come with any drivers for it.

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] Peetz0r: Is it larger than 700mb? [14:52] /join #arrow_testing [14:53] it's 707MB according to du -h and 742MB according to du --si [14:53] Peetz0r: Then it won't fit on a 700mb CD [14:53] 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? [14:54] I don't know, where did you hear that? [14:54] 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] that has always been a limit for iso sizes [14:55] didnt you look to see how big it was before you proceeded ? [14:55] but I suppose the 12.04.3 image grew slightly larger than 12.04.2 or something, and noone actually checked that [14:55] Johnny_Linux: Brasero won't even let me proceed anyway [14:55] didnt the site post the size ? [14:55] The site does say it's >700mb [14:56] I had the image on my harddrive already, and have used it on usb drives and virtual machines without problems [14:56] 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] thatd work [14:56] blazemore: I'd like to find a copy of 12.04.1 or 12.04.2 :) [14:57] but the official ubuntu mirrors don't have those anymore [14:57] I only have amd64, but google the filename [14:57] You'll find a mirror/torrent [14:57] oh, I need 32bit actually [14:57] I'll find one [14:57] File a bug and see how it gets triaged [14:57] put it on a usb stick [14:59] 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] 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] maybe its 2 old for it all together [14:59] but the 12.04.2 and .1 releases are inded a few MB smaller, and will fit on the cd [14:59] 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] Johnny_Linux: nah, it will work [15:00] It will be slow, but it will work [15:01] ChogyDan, I apologize, it's there, I just missed it...

[15:53] how to use gsettings or dconf to configure schema values which are not boolean or strings ? [15:53] p1l0t: If you revert the change precicely to how it was before, does it go away? [15:53] blazemore: Can't, I don't has sudo.. [15:53] blazemore: done [15:54] vramana: If that didn't fix your package issues, I recommend a clean install of ubuntu 12.04 (not Elementary, or Mint, or Debian, or anything like that) [15:54] vramana: Then that script will work for sure [15:54] vramana: (your original script, not my package script) [15:55] It isn't working [15:55] Anyway thanks [15:55] I switched from an nvidia to amd graphics card and now I have no window decorations or unity menus :/ [15:55] how do I fix things? [15:56] frenris: Did you used to have the proprietry nvidia driver installed? [15:57] yes. I also switched back to having nvidia card in my comp and the issue didn't go away [15:57] frenris: You could try sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx nvidia-settings && sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati [15:57] My optirun stuff is messed up. Where do I begin? Is there nothing that works yet? [15:57] I accidently named my file groups instead of group. When I did sudo mv groups group I lost sudo privileges. groups was never renamed to group and now I am no longer a sudoer :( [15:58] how to use gsettings or dconf to configure schema values which are not boolean or strings from terminal ? eg. gsettings set com.canonical.unity.webapps preauthorized-domains value [15:58] !details | gustav_ [15:58] gustav_: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [15:58] p1l0t: You should boot from a liveCD or in recovery mode and fix the file [15:58] I'm supposing once i put the AMD card back in? I had compiz turned on and wobbly windows before. Is there any way to tell window decorations to go back to boring from the command line? [15:58] thanks blazemore [15:58] blazemore: It used to work before but now I have low FPS in glxspheres and steam won't start; "Xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":0"." [15:59] is there any other way i can check the SSD health without using smartctl? it's returning bogus values [15:59] frenris: You will need to remove the old video driver and install the new one [15:59] blazemore: I don't have a live cd but I guess I could try recovery mode [15:59] gustav_: What changed in between it working, and it not working? not "nothing" [15:59] blazemore: Package updates. [16:00] how to disable firefox audio visualization? [16:00] blazemore: I haven't played games for a while. [16:00] gustav_: Did it update the kernel? Try booting from an old kernel [16:00] AcidRain2012: Firefox audio visualization? [16:00] blazemore: Yes, I think so. I will try that. [16:00] ya. when you load an mp3 into firefox. it has all of the cool effects. blazemore [16:00] AcidRain2012: Oh, that's the VLC plygin, not firefox itsself [16:01] AcidRain2012: I would assume if you right-click on it you can disable the visualisaton [16:01] anybody know if libpurple is available on ubuntu touch? [16:01] i dont have that option [16:01] i have: copy - open with rythmbox - fullscreen - about [16:02] Totem Browser Plugin [16:02] Oh it's Totem not VLC, my mistake. I don't know how to disable the visualisation === mmk21 is now known as mmk [16:03] blazemore, if i disable it. it wont play the files lol [16:03] blazemore: No, I'm back on 3.5 and bumblebeed is "respawning too quickly" in dmesg. So it doesn't work either. === mmk is now known as mmk21 [16:04] blazemore, ugh. a bug report was made on it for not being able to disable to [16:04] :/ [16:05] Well there's the answer to your original question: no [16:05] first issue with ubuntu 12 running cinnamon. here. the simplest thing cannot be turned off. yet i can hax wpa2 keys from the air [16:05] ^_- [16:05] how to use gsettings or dconf to configure schema values which are not boolean or strings from terminal ? eg. gsettings set com.canonical.unity.webapps preauthorized-domains value [16:06] universal: try using "get" first, see what output it gives you [16:07] how can I install apt-get thru yum? [16:07] universal: Then try to "set" a modified value in the same format. Look at "man gsettings" [16:07] Xfaulz: You can't. WHat are you actually trying to do? [16:07] no apt-get? lol [16:07] hi has anyone got catalyst control center installed with dual monitors ? [16:07] Xfaulz: What Ubuntu version are you running? [16:07] I built my own linux distro. [16:07] m0x39: Yes, me [16:07] on Ubuntu. [16:07] well. [16:07] blazemore [16:07] I am using a Ubuntu server. [16:07] i have 2 monitors [16:07] blazemore: [16:07] both should be at 1680x1050 [16:07] blazemore: how can I get apt-get? [16:07] but the 2nd one stays at 1400x1050 [16:08] Xfaulz: How did you get yum? Yum isn't an Ubuntu thing [16:08] Xfaulz: Ubuntu comes with apt-get. How/why did you uninstall it? [16:08] who has removed apt-get... wow [16:08] blazemore: I apt-get'd yum. [16:08] yea yea guys [16:08] hahaha [16:08] call me a idiot [16:08] Xfaulz: Well you already have apt-get then [16:08] blazemore: no [16:08] i didnt cal you an idiot [16:08] just a weird thing to do [16:08] bash: apt-get not found [16:08] Xfaulz: so you apt-get'd yum and then removed apt-get? [16:08] Xfaulz: Since you used it to install yum. Now use it to *uninstall* yum, and go about your day [16:08] whats your $PATH say [16:08] Xfaulz: Why would you even do that? [16:09] Xfaulz, do you have synaptic package manager? [16:09] http://askubuntu.com/questions/295171/how-to-install-apt-get-package-manager [16:09] did you run something like, apt-get remove apt-get --purge [16:09] Xfaulz: see if you can use aptitude or synaptic [16:09] apt-get yum, el oh el [16:09] I did apt-get install yum and then removed apt-get cause I wanted a challenge. [16:09] hahah [16:09] nach0z, i got aptitude [16:09] Xfaulz: Well you've got your challenge [16:09] wtf [16:09] that is retarded im sorry [16:09] Xfaulz, lulz. wanted a challenge! [16:09] blazemore: I got aptitude though. [16:09] lulz. [16:09] 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] Xfaulz: Dammnnn you sure have a challenge ahead there buddy [16:09] if you have aptitude you should be able to get apt-get back [16:09] nach0z: how? [16:09] blazemore: How do I find the largest number? [16:09] anyway [16:09] Argh. [16:09] yum install apt-get ? maybe prolly [16:09] could someone help me with my dual monitor config :/ [16:10] Xfaulz, blazemore does have a point! we cant give you answer to your challenge ;) [16:10] m0x39: Use the Catalyst Control Centre to set your monitors to "Single Desktop" [16:10] m0x39: Sorry my mistake "dual" desktop [16:10] Xfaulz you ruined your system and now you want us to help repair it, that's no challenge [16:10] m0x39: Then you can use the built-in Ubuntu display settings to set the resolution [16:10] yeh the hing is i need xinerama to work [16:10] ah [16:10] so you can disable xenorama [16:10] Xfaulz: Personally I would accept defeat on the challenge and go for a reinstall [16:10] or whatever it is [16:10] and then still put monitors side by side via xrandr [16:11] ? [16:11] how can I get apt-get back thru aptitude? [16:11] Oh I don't use xinerama, I use a "true" multi-monitor setup (not a virtual single monitor) [16:11] can you guys just stop your rubbish and help me. [16:11] 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] ok blazemore the other thign is it doesnt pick up my res [16:11] Xfaulz: lol [16:11] 7:11:10 Xfaulz | can you guys just stop your rubbish and help me. [16:11] Oh yeah, that'll help ^ [16:11] blazemore: don't need to repeat it, we saw it [16:11] Xfaulz: see if you can do 'sudo aptitude install apt' [16:11] aptitude install apt worked [16:11] It's going on my how_to_ubuntu twitter [16:11] Xfaulz: what's your actual problem ? [16:11] challenge beaten. [16:12] blazemore, i like how your "^" lined up with his name [16:12] lol acidrain [16:12] ikonia: aptitude install apt fixed it. [16:12] great, [16:12] lol [16:12] Xfaulz: imagenius. [16:12] kthx. [16:12] nach0z: :p [16:12] \o/ [16:12] that was a stupid challenge. don't do that again. [16:12] Xfaulz: What is your next challenge ? [16:12] nothing, udizzy. [16:12] I do not want to risk my distro anymore [16:13] hes gonna go on to fedora and do the same thign but with apt [16:13] ok [16:13] lol m0x [16:13] sound like a plan buddy, you dodged a bullet there. [16:13] lol [16:13] Why does ubuntu even *package* yum? [16:13] !info yum raring [16:13] 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] just uninstall everything and rebuild the system from the kernel up using nano [16:14] ok guys - enough [16:14] he's fixed and working, please lets move on [16:14] blazemore: because some people like yum [16:14] I think being able to remove apt is kind of silly. [16:14] but [16:14] the thing is [16:14] udizzy: There's nothing actually special about the package that provides apt-get [16:14] Aha. dumpe2fs will show the inode count. [16:14] asnyone using linux would not do $packagemanager remove $packagemanager [16:15] !info rm raring [16:15] Package rm does not exist in raring [16:15] !info cal raring [16:15] m0x39: hes fixed and working - please let it go, people make mistakes [16:15] Package cal does not exist in raring [16:15] Xfaulz: what do you need ? [16:15] 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] yeh ok only messing [16:15] m0x39: I've asked multiple times for it to stop, please drop it now [16:15] ok [16:15] jeeeez [16:15] Could someone help me discern why I have a user in my gnome session named "J. Random User" [16:15] that's kinda like Microsoft making IE so integral to Windozer that if you remove it, the system dies [16:16] I can't seem to delete or locate the account. [16:16] Nach0z: final warning - it's done [16:16] ikonia: I'm talking about a new subject with udizzy [16:16] !ot [16:16] #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] it's nothing to do with this channel [16:16] 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. [16:17] Nach0z: I do kinda agree with the anti-linux thing. [16:17] udizzy: we should maybe take this to offtopic before ikonia ... iunno what ikonia can do honestly :| [16:17] ronnie: you do not want to unlock the keyring? or it asks you for a password to unlock it? [16:18] 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] Nach0z: no problem buddy, ikonia settle down. [16:18] is it in AHCI mode [16:18] Mackwerk: it doesn't show up in gparted? [16:19] Slart, actually I don't know, I'm really new to this and I don't really know how to check that [16:19] run gparted [16:19] or fdisk/gdisk [16:19] does anyone use rsyslog and rsyslog-mysql to push exim4 logs to mysql ? [16:19] Mackwerk: try running the program Gnome Partition Editor from the regular menu.. or type gparted in a terminal [16:19] Slart, so I can choose the try ubuntu option and do that, right? [16:19] Mackwerk: I think there might be a "disk utility" or similar as well [16:19] Mackwerk: correct [16:20] @Slart .. i do not want to unlock the keyring.actually i want to disable this feature.but how can i do that? [16:20] 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? [16:21] 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] ronnie: hmm.. I'm not really sure.. you have a default keyring that gets installed by default... you could remove that, I guess [16:22] ronnie: I'm not really sure what this might affect though.. there could be side-effects [16:22] Slart, ok, I'm trying that booting it up again now :p [16:22] Nach0z: Packages with strange dependency's are annoying had a few a long time ago. [16:23] Mackwerk: ok [16:24] 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] ended up bootstrapping pretty much everything [16:25] Nach0z: Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for the chit chat. discussing ubuntu is not support related and does not belong in this channel. [16:28] 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] It then asks me if it is a GPT partitition table and I can click yes/no [16:29] Mackwerk: well.. that puts it into unknown territory to me.. never messed with that before [16:29] 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] Slart ok :p [16:29] !sudo | rostam [16:29] 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] I'll try and click no, I suppose nothing will happen then [16:30] Mackwerk: include this information and ask the room to see if anyone knows more about the subject === e_t__ is now known as e_t_ [16:31] is it possible for a file/dir to to be owned by :mygroup? [16:31] 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 [16:32] PapaSierra_: yes. chown : [16:32] Mackwerk: ah.. well if it shows up in the installer I suppose you did the right thing =) [16:33] 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] Slart, I hope so :D I'll see in a bit [16:33] PapaSierra_: Every file has an owner [16:33] blazemore: ok sure [16:33] 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? [16:34] Mackwerk: Are there any additional drivers listed in the Additional Drivers section of Software Sources? [16:35] 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] Nach0z, do they provide an ubuntu package, or? === _gcx is now known as gcx [16:36] blazemore, don't know yet, just installing ubuntu now will see then [16:36] 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] you'll have to install the kernel headers and whatnot [16:38] :o Sounds scary === gbyers[Away] is now known as g_byers [16:38] /quit === aduarte is now known as cadaver [16:39] Mackwerk: it's not particularly easy but it's the only way I've been able to get my ATI card to work reliably. Only problem is you have to redo it pretty much every time you do any kind of real system upgrade, like to the kernel or something [16:39] 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') [16:40] Hanumaan: ask #python [16:41] hi [16:43] uhm, hi? [16:43] could anyone help me to install broadcom drivers? [16:43] Could i ask here if my computer supports linux? ubuntu preferably? [16:44] hp compaq d330 ut does this (very old) piece of crap support linux? [16:45] beginner_: is it a PC? [16:45] Woo, I Just installed ubuntu and it works perfectly so far [16:45] john_john: cool [16:45] although I have a slight delay when typing [16:46] Could it be firefox's fault? [16:46] john_john: in everything, or just IRC? [16:46] browser based IRC? [16:46] YEah, irccloud [16:46] yeah gordon, an old desktop with windows xp running on it [16:46] yup, it's firefox, unity i can type normally in [16:46] hmm alright, so how do I check if both of my graphic cards are being used? [16:47] blazemore, where can I find the additional software view you mentioned?= [16:47] AH! Nevermind I found it I think [16:49] are 7 year old computers supported by ubuntu? [16:50] beginner_: depends on what the hardware is, but generally yes [16:50] beginner_: well, maybe you will need a lighter version [16:50] beginner_, its easer to say which cpu and how much ram it has [16:50] better than windows anyways [16:50] like lxde or xfce [16:51] john_john: said it [16:51] 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] (which I doubt) [16:51] yeah, well, someone made this computer, hmm, its very bad, 770mb working space [16:52] where do I find settings for unity? === ivan_ is now known as Guest52096 [16:52] beginner_: 770 MB of ram? [16:52] yeah, RAM [16:53] ok, what cpu? p4? [16:53] yup, pentium 4 :( [16:53] 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] 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] it could be 1g or ram (minus video shared memory) and p4, yup you should be fine ^^ [16:54] 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] beginner_, i would try with lubuntu or xubuntu just in case ubuntu feels too slow [16:54] Artemis3 seems to know more about hardware than me >____> [16:54] :) thanks [16:54] yes i have some p4s around :) [16:54] hi all [16:55] lubuntu would be better for slow computers? [16:55] yes [16:55] you will then need to add the apps you like, such as libreoffice, steam, etc [16:55] aight, thanks for ur information :) [16:55] Now... i need an usb-stick ;p [16:56] lol [16:56] anyone got safe download link to official lubuntu? [16:57] i only can find some torrents -.- [16:57] dont want FBI knocking on my door for illegally downloading free software ;p [16:58] you can't be busted for that, but try ubuntu.com :P [16:58] you can not be punished for downloading [16:58] 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] you might get in trouble for sharing [16:58] http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop [16:58] ferr: nah, if it's free and unmodified he's fine [16:58] oh nevermind ;_; [16:59] ye [16:59] iḿ just taking it globally [16:59] :D [16:59] now... 32-bit or 64-bit? ;p [16:59] ubuntu and derivatives, and most linux iso images are legal to share [17:00] 32 bit for p4 === Raja is now known as Guest46263 [17:00] thanks. almost downloaded 64 bit ;p [17:00] pentium 4 processors really are incredibly durable little buggers [17:01] ok, torrent is downloading ;) [17:02] why is it that whenever I search for a program in unity and it comes up, clicking wont start it? [17:02] beginner_: scuze me while I go leech all ur peers [17:02] ^^ [17:02] or is it protection so that basic users can't bring up the terminal? [17:03] are you using the guest account? if so i think thats the case [17:03] nope [17:03] my admin account === meerkat is now known as meromerofruit === Keeper is now known as Guest41771 [17:06] john_john: might have your PATH set wrong, could try dropping into a TTY and seeing if you can start them just via the program name [17:07] hi guys is there a way to blacklist guys in a shared network [17:08] my brother is hogging it and i'd like to teach him a little lesson [17:08] Do USB-sticks work to install lubuntu/ubuntu? [17:08] nightmare365: iptables is one tool that can do that for you [17:09] Slart: i haven't used it .. let me check it up [17:09] 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] can i use gufw to set up the rules? [17:09] if you have a CD-RW you can use, just take the extra few minutes to do that [17:09] 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 [17:10] nightmare365: I have no idea, never used gufw [17:10] nightmare365 what do you want to block him from [17:10] shadowtech: from accessing the internet or at least joining the wifi [17:10] Aww :( then i gotta buy a CD, lol [17:11] Unless my granddad got one.... which is very unlikely... [17:11] hello [17:11] beginner_: USB-stick has worked nicely for me for the last couple of years [17:11] you can't install it from inside of windows anymore? [17:12] Oh and Ubuntu made my computer incredibly loud, my guess is that it doesn't utilize both of my graphic cards :/ [17:12] !usb | beginner_ [17:12] beginner_: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [17:13] Slart: this is just what i wanted .. will limit him to 100kbps that oughta teach him something [17:14] nightmare365: you can look into dropping random packets from his traffic as well.. that will make things not only slow but slow in a very annoying way [17:15] nightmare365: all in the name of science, of course =) [17:15] jesus my computer is loud [17:15] lol, nightmare is going to ddos his brother? [17:15] 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 [17:18] beginner_: was considering to give him a little ICMP flood :D [17:18] john_john, do you have nvidia? [17:18] Two ATI cards [17:18] ozzloy [17:18] nobody? [17:18] ... desktop? [17:18] ubuntu desktop, yes? [17:19] he messed with the wrong brother :) [17:19] john_john, is your computer a desktop [17:19] ozzloy yeah [17:19] interesting [17:19] I think I need to install amd catalyst [17:19] sorry, i don't know how to fix the problem, i was just curious about having 2 video cards [17:19] but it wont let me uninstall the old ati drivers [17:20] because I play a lot of games [17:20] or used to play a lot of games. [17:20] i remember nvidia had a dual video card thing [17:20] !enter [17:20] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [17:20] for laptops [17:20] aight nightmare... If you want to annoy him someway, u should get urself a good VPN-server, then download something like prosecure on ur router, and block all sites except from VPN ^^ [17:21] john_john, maybe i'm in a niche, but it's weird for me to hear that someone has a desktop these days [17:21] Yeah, AMD does as well, it's called amd catalyst. I'm trying to follow this guide: http://www.techlw.com/2013/01/install-amd-ati-drivers-in-ubuntu.html [17:21] BUT when I run the first command and enter my password I get the following error: http://www.techlw.com/2013/01/install-amd-ati-drivers-in-ubuntu.html [17:21] beginner_, nightmare365: all this really isn't on-topic for this chnnel. [17:21] 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] ? [17:22] baphomet1: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:22] Ozzloy: Wait, what, what do you mean? A whole bunch of people build gaming computers for gaming. [17:22] sorry Pici my bad [17:22] floodbot getting mad [17:22] not flodding. [17:22] flooding even. [17:23] Anyone knows how to fix this? [17:23] john_john: you pasted the same link twice, we can't see the error that you're getting. [17:24] can anyone answer me question? :D [17:24] baphomet1: Why do you think it doesn't work in 12.04? [17:25] 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] My bad [17:25] I need some help with broadcom bcm43228 wireless drivers [17:26] It worked now, apparently there were no current drivers [17:26] Pici, lspci shows the card, it has a marvell chipset. however the hard drive that is attached to it never shows up. [17:26] I purged a package but when I do, which nginx, it still shows the binary is in /usr/sbin/nginx. How can I completely remove the package with its config.? [17:26] apt-get remove/purge didn't help [17:27] Pici, you have no further comment? :D [17:28] whats the shorcut key to see all applications open [17:29] when you ssh a server for the first time you get the accept yes/no? question. i would like to write a script to ssh into a server i own, and from there, ssh into bitbucket.org and accept their public key. how would i force the "yes"? [17:29] I removed my usb without unmounting, now I cannot see it in Ubuntu anymore. it still works fine on a win7 machine [17:29] hi folks, i need to setup my laptop wifi as a shared ineternet connection for my tablet, I am trying to run charles to proxy my http/s requests and inspect them, but I cannot get the wifi hotspot functionality to work? [17:29] baphomet1: Have you seen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Marvell_Technology_Group_chipsets#88SE91xx_chipsets_Linux_support [17:30] It was really simple to get working on this macpoop air, so now I don't want ubuntu to be the place i can't get something working [17:30] usb storage that is [17:30] hehe macpoop air [17:30] PapaSierra_, this might be what you're looking for http://web.monkeysphere.info/ [17:30] also, i kinda need to be able to proxy my mobile apps with the ubuntu laptop as I'm working on the webservice endpoints for the app [17:31] anyone have any experience doing this? [17:32] ozzloy: or maybe this? ssh -oStrictHostKeyChecking=no git@bitbucket.org [17:33] Pici, no. Checking now. [17:33] Pici, I would rather buy another one that is known to work without issues === jack is now known as Guest82262 [17:35] Anyone have any preferred sites for ordering used textbooks? [17:35] Ludovik, thats not on topic here [17:36] how can i change the icons in the top panel? [17:37] sorry, a better question would be "how to add a public key to my known hosts". i don't want the interactive "yes/no" i already trust the host. i just want to add it [17:38] PapaSierra_: you have a rsa key in ~/.ssh/ and you want to push the .pub up to a server? [17:38] ssh-key-add will do it [17:39] hmm sooo... CRossfire acceleration only works with one screen and not multiple? Oh well, it's quiet now at least. =) [17:39] PRaise amd for catalyst for ubuntu [17:39] g'navond [17:40] what use is geoclue service of ? and how to use it ? [17:40] duoi: change your icon theme or replace the icons in your current theme === baordog_ is now known as solidoodlesuppor [17:41] !nl | perre`vl [17:41] perre`vl: Nederlandstalige ondersteuning voor Ubuntu (en vers gezette koffie) is te vinden in #ubuntu-nl [17:41] !geoclue [17:42] PapaSierra_ is this useful https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys#Generating_RSA_Keys [17:42] i know MonkeyDust ;) [17:42] didn't realized that i was in #ubuntu [17:43] duoi: unless you mean the window close, min, max buttons in the top left, those are in a separate Theme/unity directory (such as /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/unity/) [17:43] hello germans here ? [17:43] NET||abuse: it's something like this "ssh-keyscan -H github.com". the idea is i'm remote controlling servers that have never seen github.com before, but i dont' want to be present to interact with the server manually and type "yes" [17:44] Neuling, in #ubuntu-de [17:47] I have a 500GB Disn my Ubuntu partition is 450GB in size 11GB is used atm. Before I installed Ubuntu I had a 50GB NTFS partition with backupfiles. I can't see it anymore to be able to mount it either via fdisk or partitioner I'm 100% sure it did not get formated/deleted. [17:47] Any ideas how to fetch it and mount it ? [17:48] Hello, I cant find my usb thumb drive. disks application detects it, but nautilus doesnt show it. my win7 mounts it perfectly [17:48] neredsenvy, run sudo fdisk -l and pastebin the info generated [17:49] PapaSierra_: oh, you want servers to push back up to githug [17:49] well, in that case, set this up in scripts and export the IdentityFile env variable. [17:49] http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=3013mz9&s=5 [17:49] anyone experienced with broadcom wireless drivers? [17:49] i can't remember what it is to do it, you'll have to google, but that's the best way,,, otherwise for that user, setup the ~/.ssh/config to use the public key [17:49] no, i want github's public key added to my known_hosts without me having to answer "yes" [17:49] wilee-nilee: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/b17df3c205b846e60b8c [17:49] trism: i was referring to the icons at the top, ie sound settings, battery indicator, session manager etc [17:49] oh, there's probably an autoaccept switch you can pass in to ssh [17:50] man ssh [17:50] NET||abuse: What's githug? O_o [17:50] HisaoNakai: it's this awesome new thing [17:50] A git appreciation site i just invented! [17:50] duoi: yeah those are just a part of the icon theme, though it can be tricky to figure out the correct names for the icons [17:50] NET||abuse: cool, reading now [17:50] lol [17:50] lol @ NET||abuse [17:51] who can help me with wireless drivers? bcm43228 [17:51] !broadcom | ferr [17:51] ferr: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [17:51] ferr: sounds like fun :) [17:52] neredsenvy, There is no ntfs in the sda disc, you have sdb with a 16 gig ntfs. [17:52] thanks bazhang [17:52] duoi: you'll probably want to check up the status/22/ subdirectory of your theme [17:52] NET||abuse, its fun but starts annoying me [17:52] wilee-nilee: Weird the ubuntu partition is 450GB the 16GB is a SSD [17:53] duoi: so for instance, /usr/share/icons/ubuntu-mono-dark/status/22 [17:53] wilee-nilee: Theres 50GB partition missing and I have no clue how to get it back/mount it : P [17:53] neredsenvy, It would be a recovery if it is gone, you have no backup of it? [17:54] 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 [17:55] However now after I'm done the 50GB partition is not showing anywhere [17:55] hey wilee-nilee do you know that topic/thread that (i think it was that said to me) to ask to put in the oficial repositorys a software... to someone called Jeff (or something) put that software/upgrade on the oficial rep ? [17:56] *think it was you [17:56] 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] OT: Hynix fabs 1 and 2 just exploded. If you need ram, get it now. [17:56] Extreminador, I saw you yesterday we spoke I believe but that info does not ring a bell [17:57] wilee-nilee: I used two partitions I guess Ubuntu formated/trashed that 50GB partition during install. I'm guessing everything is gone ? [17:57] yehh wilee-nilee but it was not yestarday (i think) [17:57] but thanks will have to look [17:58] 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] so where does ubuntu setup nic bonds? [17:58] :) [17:58] Weird I did not even touch the partition during install : // [17:58] 12.04 LTS [17:58] So much data lost === chiefseattle is now known as reveldevel [18:00] neredsenvy, I use external HD's I have 3, one is 2TB, to do backups, your best insurance is having stuff off the computer. [18:00] wilee-nilee: Whats weird https://gist.github.com/anonymous/b17df3c205b846e60b8c is showing sda1, sda2 then just blanks out and shows sda5 wheres sda3/sda4 : / [18:00] ls [18:01] neredsenvy: you're probably using an Extended partition, which causes that "jump" [18:01] How can i set my swap partition to be on even after i reboot ? [18:01] neredsenvy, Lets have a visual look, install gparted and take a screenshot and image bin it. [18:01] HypnotiX: /etc/fstab [18:02] zykotick9: that directory is empty [18:02] HypnotiX: /etc is empty? fstab is a file. [18:02] ah i have a folder also named fstab.d :) [18:02] HypnotiX: swapfile [18:03] HypnotiX: ignore the folder, use the file [18:03] if have the partition [18:03] /etc/fstab [18:03] examples on google n bing [18:03] n stuff [18:03] HypnotiX open a terminal and type less /etc/fstab [18:03] 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 [18:04] i have the file open [18:04] wilee-nilee: http://oi43.tinypic.com/b5i4h2.jpg [18:04] neredsenvy, sda5 is the swap, I used the term logical though. [18:05] HypnotiX does it look similar to this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab#Examples [18:05] can´t find the thread lool... let me ask again like i ask before and someone told me the topic link [18:05] well i dont have the swap partition in there [18:05] neredsenvy, So that picture should be helpful for you to understand types of partitions and their numbers as I explained, is this more clear? [18:06] 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] Extreminador, I believe these posts are on the web, they used to be anyway. [18:07] 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] 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] It's showing 3 partitions and theres second 16GB dis however ubuntu is only showing the boot partition and the second drive [18:07] 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" [18:08] wilee-nilee: Still theres 30~ some GB which was the side of the data on the backup partition [18:08] missing === infernal is now known as karlis [18:08] Nach0z correct... but when i ask this the firts time someone told me a link to post a topic asking to add the lasted version of that software in this case the playonlinux [18:08] but i can´t remember the link... and i have already sow in my historic about it but grrrr ... can´t find it [18:09] dunno that I can help there, sorry [18:09] zykotick9: done ty [18:09] np Nach0z lool [18:13] I want to cut -f 1,3 -d " " filename and then append a string and then write this result line by line to file. [18:13] how to do that? [18:13] muggard: "IF" you don't get an answer here, i'd try #bash [18:14] muggard use "> appendfilename.txt [18:14] Extreminador: how does that work? [18:14] zykotick9: thanks. [18:15] muggard example "dir > /home/user/test.txt" [18:15] them open test.txt that is in /home/user/ [18:15] Hi [18:15] E: Encountered a section with no Package: header E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_raring_main_i18n_Translation-en%5fU S E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. [18:15] neredsenvy, The whole HD shows as being fully partitioned, 3 partitions sda1 a primary sda2 as the extended, and sda5 the swap. [18:15] Get this error every time I try to sudo apt-get update [18:16] suggestions? [18:16] well, what I used is "cut -f 1,3 -d " " filename >> final.txt" [18:16] moon`: wget rory.sh/fixpackages; sh fixpackages [18:16] but I don't understand how that can let me append my string to the end of the line. [18:16] muggard all together like one command only [18:17] muggard and only one > not >> [18:17] I don't understand. [18:17] Extreminador: muggard wants to add additional text into the end of the line [18:17] 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] I want to append a string to the output of cut. [18:17] Pici ahhh i did not understood that... lool [18:17] and then write to final.txt. [18:17] 1024* [18:18] muggard forget what i said [18:18] are you hypnotising me, Extreminador? [18:18] muggard: cut -f 1,3 -d " " filename | sed 's/$/more text/' > final.txt [18:18] muggard: cut -f 1,3 -d " " filename | sed 's/$/YOURSTRING/' >> output_filename [18:18] Aww Pici [18:18] ok, thank you. [18:18] blazemore: fixpackages: 1: fixpackages: Syntax error: redirection unexpected [18:18] I thought I should use sed but I have no idea how to use it. [18:19] is multilib the only way to get skype on Ubuntu 64? [18:19] what is $ here, exactly? [18:19] gotta run [18:19] bbiab [18:19] so... many... libraries [18:19] Well thats weird moon` . If you open it up in a web browser you can see line by line the commands to run to fix it, copy and paste them one by one [18:19] muggard: $ is "end of the line" [18:19] muggard: its a regex meaning the end of the line. [18:19] oh. [18:19] I also don't know regex which doesn't help. [18:19] thanks a lot. [18:20] 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] sed 's/foo/bar' replaces foo with bar [18:21] regex=regular expression(s) whatever that means , guess i should look it up :) [18:22] do you know the free software game 0 a.d.? === GingerGeek is now known as GingerGeek[Away] [18:22] it runs really slow on my machine, maybe an old graphics card and I cannot find a way to increase its speed [18:23] hi!, could anyone here tell me why the bazaar branch at for instance https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/saucy/vim/saucy is not up-to-date? [18:23] blazemore: isn't it s/foo/bar/ with the closing /? [18:27] nantou: what does "lspci | grep -i vga" output? === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman === michaelni_ is now known as michaelni [18:31] rubund: If I had to guess, its likely because we haven't needed to do any custom patches for vim in any recent releases. [18:32] how can ubuntu see a SAS Hard Disk? [18:33] c3vin: I think you need to ask that to your controller [18:34] zykotick9: I don't think the closing / is necessary unless you want to put a g or something after it [18:35] If I have a physical liveCD that is, say 300MB in size, how can I read it as an iso? I would use dd but it wants to read all the sectors in the disk, so my image is as big as the disk was [18:35] Pici: thanks. This may make sense. [18:37] raub, discs can be data or images, images are seen as a iso. [18:38] raub: how can I get controller to present drive to ubuntu? [18:38] anyone know how i can wget recursively an entire website, but only grab images contained in this directory http://newfoundlandcanvas.com/images/thumbnailimgs/ which btw isnt indexed..hence i need to find references to images inside it [18:39] general question: i have a called example and there is root. i have added my local machine user's public key to the authorized_keys of both root and example. so i can log in using $ ssh root@host or $ ssh example@host, but use the same key. is that ok? or bad? if bad, why? [18:40] PapaSierra_: using root to ssh with, is a TERRIBLE idea... just sayin' [18:40] 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. [18:41] anyone know how to wget recursively a website, but onyl the files that pass a certain regex? [18:41] wilee-nilee: Ok, let me use an example: let's say for whatever reason I burned the centos minimal install (first ISO I could find as example), which is a 323MB .iso [18:41] Now how would I read it back from the cd into a .iso of about the same size? [18:42] hexacode: the -r for recursive is easy ;) the regex part... i have no clue. good luck. === proby is now known as megabraker === megabraker is now known as proby [18:42] zykotick9: lol i wish they implemented it [18:42] zykotick9: Pici well initially root is the only user. so on the brand new server i ssh in using a password so i can give root my key. once root saves my key i then no longer log in with password. then i log into root with the key and i use that to set up "example". then i log out. from there i just use "example" to do all the server provisioning [18:43] raub, Ah, there are a number of extractors that will make a iso from a disc, I forget their names is all. [18:43] Pici: Re: the packaing branches. They should always be up to date, but sadly there are bugs. In vim's case: http://package-import.ubuntu.com/status/vim.html which points to bug 653312 [18:43] bug 653312 in Ubuntu Distributed Development "Import fails with NoSuchRevision" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/653312 [18:44] Ampelbein: oops [18:44] raub, I think the make a disc copy ib brasero does this. [18:44] in* [18:45] raub, It does if you choose make an image file. [18:46] On Ubuntu 13.04 I've installed Steam and downloaded some games, however, my brother (who uses another user account) gets errors when launching Steam (missing packages and lack of HDD space (which is not true)), and the games are not downloaded [18:46] Does Steam operate a per-user basis on Linux, or am I missing something? [18:46] Ca11um, it does [18:47] kostkon, there was a massive list of packages which were not installed for Steam, can I ignore that errror? [18:47] Despite multiple errors, the client continued to run correctly [18:47] Ca11um, what do you mean exactly [18:47] Ca11um, what kind of packages [18:47] Pici: did you see my last comment? ^ [18:48] I didn't read the list, kostkon [18:48] 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] 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 [18:49] 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] 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] 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] Ca11um, it's like you said, on a per user basis [18:49] at least with freeware [18:50] 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] So I want to install Steam from my user account, and alike Windows, every account has the same Steam setup [18:50] Ca11um, what kind of maintenance you need to do to play steam games other than pressing the install button [18:51] Installing the supposidely missing drivers [18:51] packages* [18:51] Ca11um: You may want it, but I doubt that it will work that way. [18:52] Ca11um, it shouldn't have the same setup for all the users, i.e. same games, same account and prefs [18:53] 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] The game downloads I don't mind so much, since a Steam Library can be setup [18:53] On a Ubuntu HDD, what would be the most appropriate file path for a shared Steam Library? [18:53] so my question is... [18:54] I'm booting Dell Poweredge R710 which is listed as certified hardware [18:54] Ca11um, they should. the problem is you haven't described the errors you are getting etc [18:54] I have SAS drive connected to perc controller [18:54] c3vin: And whats your question? [18:54] how can I configure ubuntu to see drive? [18:54] Ca11um, and hopefully you are not running steam with sudo [18:54] No [18:54] c3vin: Configure a logical volume in the BIOS of the controller. [18:55] Users run Steam from the 'Steam' shortcut on the launcher thing [18:55] So if we were to setup a shared Steam Library, is there a dir on the HDD specifically for sharing data? [18:56] Or would /steam be appropriate? [18:56] Ca11um: if /steam is a seperate mountpoint... [18:57] No [18:57] Then I'd not put game play data into the / filesystem. [18:57] how do I replace the default program for a particular command? i.e. emacs-snapshot instead of emacs24 for 'emacs'? [18:57] 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] Where else can data go other than '/'? [18:58] I've barely used Linux, I don't know much about the dir structure [18:58] can i just remove encryption packages or will this bork everything? [18:59] 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] ImaLamer: It will break your box, if you are using encryption. [18:59] Ca11um: Into /mnt/steam - where /mnt/steam is a seperate mountpoint. [18:59] How do I create a seperate mountpoint, and why are mountpoints needed? [18:59] Can't everything operate from / ? [19:00] !mount | Ca11um [19:00] Ca11um: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [19:00] bekks: i've never used it anyways, should i just resolve this fstab issue of finding the root partition? [19:00] bekks: OK [19:00] I don't want to attach a device to a directory, just for Steam to read data from a different directory [19:00] bekks: cryptsetup: WARNING: could not determine root device from /etc/fstab [19:00] bekks: then I'd like to use hdparm to flash drive with firmware [19:00] will I be able to if configured properly in bios? [19:01] c3vin: Depends on the exact controller - but without defining a logical volume in the controller you cant use your disks. [19:01] What is in this file?? /usr/share/icons/hicolor/icon-theme.cache <- its 133 Megs large [19:01] No wonder its chocking on it. [19:01] smaudet: It is a cache file. [19:01] bekks: of? [19:01] smaudet: And whats "it"? [19:02] 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] bekks: it's perc controller [19:02] smaudet: "icon cache" - look at the name :) [19:02] c3vin: Which one? Personally, I know about a douzen different PERC controllers. [19:02] I usually use a partition for /, /boot, /usr, /usr/local, and /home [19:02] 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] bekks: perc 6 - my question is if virtual disk is created on bios, how does o/s interpret? [19:03] c3vin: Perc6, 6i, 6e? [19:03] bekks: and nothing else on the computer will run, no matter how unrelated the updates are to the running programs [19:03] bekks: 6i...the controller isn't the issue [19:03] unclezipper, if I didn't care for upgrading the OS (the folder can easily be moved), can a mountpoint be avoided? [19:03] 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] c3vin: If a logical disk is created, the OS will see a disk. [19:03] I really need help with this... [19:04] bekks: Any idea what sort of 'caching' its doing? Maybe I need to clean out /usr/share/icons/hicolor/ ? [19:04] smaudet: It caches icons, etc. displayed by your themes. [19:04] Ca11um, read about mount, mountpoints and linux structure, or go windows, these are extremely basic things [19:04] Ca11um: only if you use the whole disk [19:04] smaudet: If you clean out that directory, you will not see icons anymore. Dont do it. [19:05] smaudet: Rename that file for testing, but dont touch your icons. [19:05] 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] bekks: I need to see the physical disks, will that be possible? [19:05] c3vin: Thats what I answered three times now. [19:05] 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] 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] c3vin: If in doubt, please consult the manual of that controller. [19:05] 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 :) [19:06] pawan_tejwani: Thats a SLES issue. [19:06] pawan_ [19:06] pawan_tejwani: What command are you using to scp the file? Please censor any sensitive details like IP addresses [19:07] 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] The cache file is larger than all of the icons put together [19:07] smaudet: Why? [19:08] smaudet: Just because you dont believe you have about 60M icons, etc. installed? [19:08] bekks: Huh? I believe that, 194-133 ~= 61 M === GingerGeek[Away] is now known as GingerGeek [19:08] 61M/133 M ~= 0.5, so there is twice as much cache as icons [19:09] is there any good software to see if my colo defenitions and/o drivers are updated to th best performance ? [19:09] 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] 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] i asm asking this because i think the quality of my image atm is not very good [19:09] Extreminador: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [19:09] bekks i did that already [19:10] bekks: so you think I have a ton of icons in memory that are the problem? [19:10] Extreminador: Then you have the latest version of drivers, etc. [19:10] smaudet: Not in memory, in that file. [19:10] 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 [19:11] bekks: unless favicons are on the order of 1 M apeice [19:11] smaudet: Why do you think you know how big single contents of that cache file are? :) [19:11] bekks how can i them improve this ? is there any "directx" for linux ? [19:11] 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] Extreminador: No. [19:11] Extreminador: You cannot improve it, because you are runing the latest versions. [19:11] unclezipper yes i can [19:12] 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] smaudet: The rename that file and check again. [19:12] Anybody else running a P3 right now? [19:12] Extreminador: Please attach the output of "lsb_release -a; uname -a" too. [19:12] unclezipper: Why? :) [19:13] unclezipper: Currently, its late summer, no need for a heating ;) [19:13] ok bekks [19:13] bekks: and anyways I never said what I thought the individual contents of the cache file were, check what I wrote [19:13] can someone help with samba? i'm not able to so connect to my shares [19:13] bekks: Ha :P [19:13] bekks: only about how many browser tabs I have, and actuall high color icons I have [19:13] also smbtree lists the samba server but not its shares [19:13] And the *fact* that its twice as big as my entire icon collection [19:14] there is no errors in the log files [19:14] smaudet: Then rename that file and check again... [19:14] at least not anymore [19:14] bekks: as I said, will do later [19:14] funky1: Are you trying to allow Windows clients to have access to your files? [19:15] yes [19:15] also [19:15] but atm on an ubuntu client [19:15] 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 [19:16] 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] hm ok [19:16] thx anyhow [19:16] But my understanding is that NFS software for Windows isn't that good [19:16] no unfortunately not [19:16] unclezipper , bekks http://pastebin.com/kwgTu4mA [19:16] thanks for you patiente [19:18] Extreminador: You should use 64bit installation on that hardware. [19:18] 1.5" screen? [19:18] bekks humm thought it was ... ups [19:18] i have a dell latitude d620 i bought about 6 yrs ago for 100$. its still good today [19:19] Extreminador: As you can see in uname -a, you are running a 32bit installation. [19:19] 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] unclezipper yes i am [19:19] AcidRain2012: Probably not... It feels like it's that small when you're using it though [19:19] Extreminador: Then you already optimized everything you can. [19:20] 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] bekks good lord them... this bakground image them is really bad [19:21] 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 [19:22] Extreminador: The background image has nothing to do with your graphics drivers. [19:22] ya dude. for 2gig of ram. my d620 is super fast [19:22] Extreminador: And you want to run nvidia-settings [19:22] i run backtrack and windows xp on it. not a fan of anything xp+ [19:22] 2 gigs? Mine has 256M [19:23] :/ urs must be rly old ;p [19:23] bekks is it better to run there setting ? if it is them yehh [19:23] i think mine came out in 2002 [19:23] Yeah... The whole Pentium 3 thing [19:23] it was stock with 1gig. i put another 1 gig in it [19:23] bekks but my image is prety bad... but mybe i did download the wrong version of it and not the hd one [19:23] i dont even feel like firing the ole dell up right now to tell you whats in it. lol [19:23] Extreminador: You asked for them, I answered your question. [19:23] 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? [19:24] ahh lool bekks thanks [19:24] 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] unclezipper, ya i feel you man. i need to go ahead and upgrade my server comp to 16gig, but im broke as hell [19:25] AcidRain2012: They sell DDR2 ECC RAM on ebay for super cheap === flugger_ is now known as flugger [19:26] well mine is ddr3 :( [19:26] AcidRain2012: ECC? I have some regular DDR3 that I can't use [19:27] unclezipper, hopefully it's a later pentium m model with smp support [19:27] 4gig chips? [19:27] Yep... 2x4GB 1333MHz [19:27] unclezipper, sorry, i meant PAE* [19:27] =D hold on to those for me man. i may get them off u [19:28] unclezipper, ofc ill have to come up with some $$$ first, and things arent looking pretty round here [19:28] kostkon: Nope... [19:29] unclezipper, it's one of those low freq pentium m without pae? [19:29] AcidRain2012: Well if you have a couple spare DDR2 sticks, I've been trying like hell to do a trade. I need 3 2G sticks of DDR2 666MHz or better [19:30] kostkon: I don't see anything about PAE, but it runs at 1.4GHZ [19:30] unclezipper, ill see what i can come up with. i may have some in 1 of the 15 comps at my mawmaws house. peprhaps i should just send u a few of them as a trade? [19:30] they all work [19:30] lol [19:30] bekks think i made download of the wrong version images [19:30] AcidRain2012: Absolutely, sounds great [19:30] ill be in touch [19:31] Shoot me an email.... erick.v.zipper@gmail.com [19:32] unclezipper, done [19:32] i have to head to work though. [19:32] peace out [19:32] See ya [19:33] is there a generic utility in ubuntu to set a configuration file value (key val file) without having to edit the file? [19:33] There is no other way rather than editing that file. :) [19:34] /etc/ssh/sshd_config [19:34] PermitRootLogin no [19:34] bekks: ok. i guess what i'm really after is i want to set [19:34] ^ [19:34] but done as part of a deploy script [19:35] the deploy script is repeatable. so if i use cat "PermitRootLogin no" >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config then if i run that 10 times i'll have that line 10 times! [19:37] If I want to migrate my OS to a larger hard drive, what is the easiest tool to use to clone it on another disk? Will I run into any problems? [19:39] Hi, I've got Ubuntu 12.04.1 running on an EC2 instance (upstart 1.5-0ubuntu7). The init process explodes occasionally - ~1/week, consuming 100% CPU, is unresponsive and the system needs a reboot to regain control. Anyone familiar with this issue? === ubuntu is now known as Guest81105 [19:40] Can anyone help me out with F.lux? [19:40] I installed it and it seems to be working fine [19:40] however, I am unable to bring up the preferences to change to my current timezone. So my eyes are burning right now. === GingerGeek is now known as GingerGeek[Away] [19:51] I know this is a ubuntu room, but has anyone ever tried freebsd? [19:51] clonezilla nurow [19:51] hi [19:51] marianne: that is probably more something for the offtopic chatroom. Or, if you do have a support question, the freebsd one [19:52] thanks BlueFrog [19:52] Fuchs: I was just wondering how it compared to ubuntu.... I'll take my question elsewhere [19:52] how to make ubuntu (derivative actually) play dlna media from a phone? [19:53] so phone is a dlna media server for ubuntu pc === Catbian is now known as Neshemah [19:56] I have a mp3-player that shows when I run, "gvfs-mount -l". But how do I access it? [19:57] I guess i should mount it first, it is only listed as a drive [20:03] i need a 802.11n pcmcia card for my laptop. any suggestions/recommendations? === damccull_ is now known as damccull === sporkeee is now known as Guest41405 [20:08] hi === ircuser is now known as asdlkjaslkja [20:13] 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 [20:14] easy to set up, secure <-- a must I dont want to risk the rest of the server, encryption and reaonable spam protection. [20:15] serversides, have you ever done mail server administration? [20:15] 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. [20:16] serversides, admining mail server is not the same as installing and running linux [20:16] ezech: A few years back I did, but I'm worried about not setting up.missing things to compromise sec [20:17] by 'compromise sec' you mean .. ? [20:17] what are the dangers you have identified that you want to secure yourself from? [20:17] ezech: My server setup is minimal at best and I want to limit opening ports/running services if I don't have to [20:18] ezech: Brute forcing [20:18] serversides, gmail would protect you from that [20:18] 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? [20:19] ezech: Yeah I use to use google apps. But for privacy reasons I want to move away from google [20:19] serversides, what kind of 'privacy' you want to achieve moving away from google? [20:20] ezech: is that a real question? [20:20] 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] iceroot_, it is a very real question [20:20] anyone elses gnome terminal crash when opening links? [20:20] 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 [20:21] serversides: i switched to my own mailserver and using pgp [20:21] serversides, then get a pair of scissors and do what you must with your internet cable [20:21] disable wifi too [20:21] start using paper mail [20:21] most secure that way [20:21] other countries governments had their dirty little secrets revealed to nsa, and they had bigger security budget you will ever see [20:21] serversides: you should have a look at pgp (mail encryption) everything else can be read from others [20:21] LinuxGold, they scan paper mail too [20:22] iceroot: thanks man [20:22] *cough* ezech what? [20:22] is anyone elses terminal crashing when opening links with the right click context menu? [20:22] 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] LinuxGold, they do, they say they scan only envelopes, but you know what can be done with bright light, and some software [20:22] 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] I've made sure that none of the inputs are muted in alsamixer. [20:22] 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 [20:23] !language | serversides [20:23] serversides: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [20:23] serversides, just grow up a little [20:24] staying away from google, using pgp, would and will put you in nsa short 'to check' list [20:24] I tried installing gnome-media and configure the settings there [20:24] serversides: everything fine with your question and it is always good to avoid google, apple, oracle, ms and other stuff like that [20:25] Sorry for the swearing. All I'm asking is some mail server solution [20:25] nothing? [20:25] serversides: you can use pgp with every mailserver, it is a client solution [20:25] iceroot_, also, lenovo, ibm, asus, huawei, acer, dlink, cisco, netgear, intel, amd, nvidia, ... [20:25] serversides: i would suggest to use "thunderbird" together with "enigmail" [20:25] ezech: yes, everything which is not Free should be avoided, yes [20:25] serversides: Do you have an actual question about the setup? [20:26] tin-foil hat discussion is offtopic for this channel. [20:26] iceroot_, you're on internet - it was made for military purposes, you know that? [20:26] move on. [20:26] ezech: this is the ubuntu suppport channel, you know that? [20:27] 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? === Companion is now known as companion [20:28] 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] I don't now what is good to use for mail. [20:28] 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. [20:29] serversides: if you just need mail, postfix is fine, if you need groupware there are other solutions [20:29] Question is: how does fetchmail interface to an mda? [20:29] serversides, postfix is an enterprise grade solution [20:30] serversides: when using postfix you also need a imap/pop solution like courier, postfix is just a mta (mail transport agent) [20:30] you need some experience in enterprise grade administering this piece of software, and you're set [20:30] iceroot: ezech: thanks. [20:30] Redshift doesn't work either [20:31] serversides: my setup is postfix + courier-imaps + spamassassin, encrypted / and mostly pgp-mails on client-site [20:31] 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] serversides: dont know if the guide is good [20:31] serversides: and i never used dovecot, always using courier-imap(s) [20:31] serversides: and i never used dovecot, always using courier-imap(s) [20:31] ok [20:32] iceroot_, I'd ask who are you exchanging pgp encrypted mails with, but that would be off topic :P [20:32] serversides: i wanted to switch to dovecot because it supports sieve-scrips but never had time to do it [20:32] ezech: company, customers, familie and girlfriend [20:32] ezech: all other mails are unencrypted [20:33] ezech: but for the customer we use mostly SMIME (we are our own CA) [20:34] I just want to use DLNA enabled device in linux - not an easy task [20:34] Do I need drivers for an analog microphone? Or why does it not show up in my selection in skype? [20:35] john_john, it'd be a default input I guess [20:35] The only option I have is "PulseAudio" [20:35] john_john: I don't think you need drivers for the microphone.. but the soundcard might need drivers/configuration [20:35] john_john, yes. that's normal [20:35] john_john, you need to setup your mic in the sound prefs not skype [20:36] john_john, ubuntu sound preferences* [20:36] exit [20:36] 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 [20:37] pulse audio is just that - pulses audio, in and out [20:37] has anyone in here tried running Plex from the official DEB file using amahi on ubuntu? [20:37] So, what should I Do? [20:37] john_john, in the input tab, check that everything is ok. [20:40] kostkon: ah it was set to digital input. I changed it to rear microphone and now it's working. However I'm hearing myself [20:41] john_john, from the speakers? [20:41] kostkon: from my headphones, yes [20:41] john_john, check the output tab too then [20:42] 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] I googled it and some people talked about suspending it and recovering it? [20:43] ryan_turner|MTW, if it's lenovo, then use the nipple [20:44] it's way better, more accurate and one of the reasons to buy lenovo in the first place ;P [20:45] 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] kostkon: nothing seems to be wrong there, perhaps it's a skype option [20:46] 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] john_john, just start a test call and see what happens [20:46] skype test call* [20:46] kostkon: just did, I hear myself at the same time I'm talking [20:47] john_john, hmm. have a look again at all the available options, switches, ports in input and output tabs [20:47] john_john: run "alsamixer" in a terminal and lower the volume for the microphone output (ie not microphone input) [20:47] I'll try that [20:47] john_john, or if you have such an option in input, do it there [20:48] I can't run vlc as a root? what circus is that? [20:49] kostkon: ah, it was the microphone boost one. Thanks for the help. I'll probably be back with more problems shortly :( [20:49] john_john, ok :P [20:50] 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] it says: dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket for port 53: [20:50] the address is already in use [20:51] is there a way to tell NM not to serve dnsmasq ? [20:51] in ubuntu 12.04? [20:53] wow, what's up with SKype for ubuntu? :/ [20:54] john_john: skype is a weird little app.. anything in particular? [20:54] skype has gone so downhill since ms bought it :[ [20:54] Slart: everything is split, there's no search, can't find recent group conversations etc. I guess there's no compact view [20:55] john_john, i see my recent/group conversations. are you perhaps seeing the contact monitor? [20:55] 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 [20:56] there is not one combined view like windows has (which i never got used to anyhow) [20:56] there is no 'skype for ubuntu', there is skype for linux [20:56] Slart, it's the same version [20:56] ezech: I know [20:56] Ezech: don't see how that would help me tho [20:56] john_john, help with what? [20:56] skype is skype, microsoft is slowly ruining it, i'd abandon ship as soon as convenient :/ [20:56] just start it and use it [20:57] ezech, there's a deb package for ubuntu on the skype site, so there is skype for ubuntu [20:57] kostkon: ah, didn't know that.

[21:03] If I mount a 100G hdd on /var/lib/backuppc, while my /var partition is actually 10G, could I use the additional 100G?

[21:04] 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?

[21:05] 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] 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] 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 [21:06] I have a boot problem on a Ubuntu VM that I have not been able to resolve using fsck or boot-repair.

[21:07] nobodies, Backtrack is also end of life. [21:07] 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? [21:08] 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. [21:09] john_john: Take a look at redshift http://jonls.dk/redshift/ [21:10] john_john: I use it at work so can vouch for its flux-iness [21:10] @ 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] 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.

[21:56] bedo2991_: why? [21:56] 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] I googled it and some people talked about suspending it and recovering it? [21:56] already tried adding "single" instead of "quiet splash $vt_handoff" but it doesn't work [21:56] bedo2991_: why do you want to boot single user mode? [21:57] 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. [21:58] I am running kubuntu and having font issues, however in that channel, they recommended that I ask here as well [21:58] Some applicatios the fonts work fine, others the fonts show up as blank squares [21:58] what is pulse audio [21:59] Monday, a sound server [22:00] jrib: now that you know why, do you have a solution? :-) [22:00] when i try to install lightspark it tells me it will install a whole bunch of pulse audio stuff [22:01] 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 [22:02] Monday, are you running ubuntu or something like lubuntu [22:02] lubuntu [22:02] single seem to hang on "Adding 5... k swap on /dev/sda5." .... [22:02] bedo2991_: when you said adding "single" doesn't work, where exactly did you add it and how exactly did it not work? [22:03] Adding at the bottom of the linux /boot/vqmlinuz-... line editing the grub line pressing e, then running it pressing F10 [22:03] "ro single" [22:03] any ideas on my touchscreen question? [22:04] bedo2991_, try " rw init=/bin/bash" [22:04] OerHeks: RW goes instead of RO? [22:05] bedo2991_, ro is read only, if that is what you want [22:05] 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] okay thanks, and lightspark should work fine right? [22:06] OerHeks: Hurray! Thanks [22:06] Monday, it will not install the pulse server, but will install the pulse libs anyway, they are hardwired dependencies [22:06] Monday, hopefully [22:06] I am back, tried a few things, still having font iissues in kubuntu, they recommnedd I ask here [22:06] i dont think anyoine has gotten the touch working on the z400 touch yet, at least from what i am seeing [22:07] 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.

[22:13] 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 [22:14] 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] bjrohan_, Xchat is another app, not system changing, maybe you should list exactly where the fonts are off. [22:15] 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] Rekonq, KMial is okay, Firefox, chrome are not [22:16] wilee-nilee, here is a screenshot http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=35198co&s=5 [22:16] bjrohan_, I this a stock kubuntu install or was it added to another desktop already there or have you added others, or window managers [22:17] Stock install, I have no other DE installed [22:18] wilee-nilee, BRB [22:19] 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.

Do you know where the guest account pulls its fonts from? Everything looks fine in the guest account [23:06] bjrohan, Would be the stock setup I assume. [23:06] Where do those come from? [23:07] wilee-nilee: I'm on "precise" 32 bit [23:07] wilee-nilee: those packages don't exist [23:07] bjrohan, probably /usr/share/fonts [23:08] 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. [23:09] fommil, YOU might look for PPA's or debs to load, not sure really. [23:10] 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] 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] how do i make gtk2+ work with gnome 3? [23:11] fommil, I said I was not sure, lol [23:11] wilee-nilee, do you know [23:11] linuxuz3r: make what part work? gtk2 apps should still run i thought [23:12] gtk2 themes [23:12] linuxuz3r, know what? [23:12] bjrohan, you said earlier that after installing conky manager and boot today you got these font issues. [23:12] how to make gtk2 theme work with gnome 3 [23:12] OerHeks: yes [23:12] linuxuz3r: you dont. as far as i know [23:12] !who | linuxuz3r [23:12] linuxuz3r: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [23:13] wilee-nilee, how to make gtk2 theme work with gnome 3 [23:13] linuxuz3r, not. if you find a way, let us know. [23:13] OerHeks: Without checking I think there are only 2 items I installed yesterday Conky and Conky manager [23:13] askubuntu.com may have some ideas on that linuxuz3r [23:13] hey everybody lets join ubuntu women [23:13] linuxuz3r, have you tried one in gnome3s fallback [23:13] conky-manager works great for me. its handy [23:13] does /usr/lib/libblas.so exist on recent ubuntus? [23:13] whiptail, nope [23:14] lets make the statistcs spike [23:14] dr_willis, but does it affect Kubuntu font settings? [23:14] !find libblas.so [23:14] Found: libblas-dev, libblas3, libatlas3-base, libopenblas-base, libopenblas-dev === james is now known as Guest69467 [23:14] ikr [23:14] OerHeks: i dont see how it could. it does put some fonts in the users. .fonts directory [23:15] or the theme packs do at least. [23:15] dr_willis: that's matches libblas.so.3 as well, I need to know if the exact file exists [23:15] fommil: use the search features of the package manager [23:16] !info apt-file [23:16] apt-file (source: apt-file): search for files within Debian packages (command-line interface).

[23:16] dr_willis OerHeks I also installed the 3rd party conky manger package as well that gives more themes, I went through those fonts (in ark) and I was able to see all of them (none were simply the blank blocks that I am seeing) [23:16] me liking that net much [23:16] Hoangg, :/ [23:17] Hoangg: spam elsewhere [23:17] no spam [23:17] no spamming [23:17] it very cool [23:17] yes it is. now stop it [23:18] hello, folks [23:18] hi [23:18] Heya does anybody know a decent IRC logging bot? I want to log a channel for when i turn off my pc from my server [23:18] Does anyone know how to get the IP of a network printer that I am successfully connected to? I have the device URI (of the form dnssd://hp%20...) and the printer name. [23:18] Ive seen some and googled somewhat, but I rather have advice from the experts, the best it would be to have it to an logfile. [23:18] SupaYoshi, try using a bouncer [23:18] SupaYoshi: so whats going to be running the bot? [23:19] Ah yeah bouncer yes, Ive read that too [23:19] Ubuntu Server [23:19] scottkosty, maybe your router shows that info, connected devices === robotdevil is now known as cjae [23:19] scottkosty, ss -ap [23:19] Whats better? a bouncer or a logging bot on ubuntu server? === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [23:19] i am but a student here...looking for help with a failing wubi migration script; not sure if i'm specifying the correct partitions or not? [23:19] most any ircc client or bouncer can log channels. [23:19] SupaYoshi: depends on your needs [23:19] yes i need to log everything becuase my biological hardware have so lower grade memorie [23:19] All I need is to log some channels on freenode and esper [23:20] SupaYoshi: most any bouncer like ZNC can do that [23:20] OerHeks: I'm on a university computer so I'm not sure I have access to the router. [23:20] whiptail, hi there [23:20] whiptail: what am I looking for in the output? [23:20] nice, is ZNC good? :) Cus I rather pick a good one then another one ;) [23:20] SupaYoshi: go TRY it and see [23:21] 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] 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] what folder should i put my gtk3 themes? [23:21] linuxuz3r: .themes [23:21] scottkosty, university ahh, maybe you can peform a " nmap -sP 192.168.1.* " or some range like thet [23:21] 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] But I got ya! :D [23:22] SupaYoshi: 'good' is subjective [23:22] there are absolutlly no women at ubuntu-women [23:22] whiptail: ok, looks like I need to close some programs. [23:22] SupaYoshi: znc is in the repos. [23:22] SupaYoshi: theres #znc also [23:22] scottkosty, close your irc client [23:23] !info znc [23:23] znc (source: znc): advanced modular IRC bouncer.

For example, how does my system to know to look into /bin /include and so on [23:23] 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] Thanks! ;) Im going to go ahead and try that one out mate! Ty so much already [23:23] scottkosty, and if you prefer gui option theres ubuntu's network tools then netstat tab, then active network services [23:24] 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] the death of wubi will mark the end of an era. ;) and there will be much rejoiceing [23:24] scottkosty, which is the other [23:24] whiptail: commandline is fine if it gives the same info [23:24] whiptail: ubuntuone-syncd :( [23:24] could it be a CLOSE-WAIT instead of a ESTAB? [23:25] I have a ubuntu-geoip-pr [23:25] scottkosty, i dont ha [23:25] 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 [23:26] my gpu is a radeon 6770 and i'm running ubu 1210 [23:26] is there any distro using the new kernel? [23:27] Gsport: new? [23:27] '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] yes new [23:28] now care to ask a bit more specific question. ;) [23:28] Gsport: new isn't a version, versions are made up of numbers and sometimes letters [23:28] System76 laptop - ubuntu 13.04 - How do I manualy check for updates? [23:28] whiptail: I think your sentence got cut off. Either that or I don't understand 'ha' [23:28] yes bash me with tecnicalitys [23:28] if it makes you happy [23:29] Gsport: as a vague question - get a vague answer [23:29] Gsport: this channel is for ubuntu support [23:29] Gsport: gentoo has 3.10 as the standard kernel atm [23:29] everyone with 2 brain cells is thinking about the .11 version [23:29] Gsport: do you have an ubuntu-related questiona? [23:30] Gsport: everyone who wasted their time assuming what you meant instead of knowing, maybe [23:30] using ubuntu - means i rarely have to worry about the kernel. [23:30] yes why the proprietary drivers always fail to work on my computer [23:30] perhaps because you are using a unsupported kernel? [23:31] whiptail, did the printer service not find it automatically [23:31] oops [23:31] nop im using default [23:31] i have an fx5200 nvidia [23:31] Ubuntu won't let me set the date [23:31] I am trying to set it to july 8th, but it keeps reverting to the 4th of september [23:31] the opensource driver run way to slow with that card [23:32] looks like ubuntu-geoip-pr is not what I wanted. I thought 'pr' might be printer but its 'provider' [23:32] 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] techkid are you trying to set the year 1970? [23:32] wilee-nilee, thanks; i may have overcome all of my n00biocy [23:32] scottkosty, short of trying ifconfig i'd try the router web interface to see connected devices as before [23:32] chiefseattle, Heh, congrats. ;) [23:33] whiptail, mentioned before* [23:33] whiptail: it is a network printer at a university. I don't have access to the router interface [23:33] 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] to set something up? [23:33] whiptail: perhaps if I start printing something it will show up in ss? [23:33] scottkosty, do you have a shell account there [23:33] techkid6, Why july 8th? [23:34] scottkosty, worth a try [23:34] whiptail: I have ubuntu installed [23:34] whiptail: ok [23:35] scottkosty, if keeping an eye on the connection try 'watch ss -ap' instead [23:36] Gsport: No, 2013 [23:36] could anyone tell me the easiest way to auto-mount particular drives when my computer boots? [23:36] a friend of mine tells me the NSA is using ubuntu on VMs [23:36] 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] !fstab | nurow [23:36] nurow: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system.

[23:38] scottkosty, nice one [23:38] hello [23:38] hi [23:38] 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] I am running either 12.04 or 12.10 on this machine, I forget [23:38] whiptail: thanks a lot for your patience and help. This gives me motivation to read about sockets now :) [23:38] I set thetime to manual, and changed the date [23:38] but it isn'tworking [23:38] thats cause you are using NPT noob [23:39] npt?

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] whiptail: In any case, thanks for the help.

I'm assuming it clearly has to do with X but what is it that's missing? Or have I failed [23:51] to set something up? [23:54] 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] wilee-nilee: I checked all of my fonts, nothing seemed awry with them (used the font manager to see if they all displayed).

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