| Pastafarian | try putting the ~ section in comments | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Pastafarian | i.e. | 00:00 |
| Pastafarian | "~/.conky/conkyrc_grey" | 00:00 |
| Pastafarian | or try the full path | 00:00 |
| mrrcp | ok | 00:01 |
| mrrcp | brb Pastafarian | 00:01 |
| wizbit | 8~ | 00:02 |
| ineedhelp | it shows under addons manager that the plugin for flash in not there | 00:02 |
| Pastafarian | are you in chrome? | 00:02 |
| ineedhelp | no firefox | 00:02 |
| Pastafarian | thats weird | 00:02 |
| Pastafarian | hold on lemme take a look | 00:02 |
| HyElan | 呵呵 | 00:03 |
| Pastafarian | ineedhelp, is this stock ubuntu? | 00:03 |
| mrrcp | haha! | 00:03 |
| mrrcp | you tha man Pastafarian | 00:04 |
| ineedhelp | what do you mean by stock? | 00:04 |
| mrrcp | full path worked | 00:04 |
| Pastafarian | I've had strange path issues like that before | 00:04 |
| mrrcp | weird | 00:04 |
| iUnify | reisio: I am in config editor right now... you'd said this which I didn't fully get " iUnify: you copy a line in /etc/fstab and specify the UUID or LABEL of the FS of the device you're talking about [19:42] == CyberJacob|Away has changed nick to CyberJacob [19:42] <reisio> iUnify: which /sbin/blkid will tell you" - for starters where is /etc | 00:04 |
| Pastafarian | I usually get around them by full path or cd'ing | 00:04 |
| mrrcp | yea good to know | 00:04 |
| ineedhelp | pasta what do you mean by stock? | 00:04 |
| Pastafarian | ineedhelp, which brand on ubuntu did you install | 00:04 |
| Pastafarian | i.e. there is ubuntu, kubuntu | 00:04 |
| Pastafarian | xubuntu | 00:04 |
| ineedhelp | unubuntu | 00:05 |
| ineedhelp | ubuntu | 00:05 |
| Pastafarian | thats stock ubuntu ;) | 00:05 |
| Pastafarian | close up firefox | 00:05 |
| Pastafarian | and run | 00:05 |
| Pastafarian | sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-restricted-extras && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 00:05 |
| ineedhelp | kk i will be back :P | 00:06 |
| Pastafarian | ok | 00:06 |
| wilee-nilee | ineedhelp, Try youtube | 00:06 |
| mrrcp | crap | 00:06 |
| mrrcp | now its running ON TOP | 00:06 |
| mrrcp | hmm | 00:07 |
| Pastafarian | aha conky does that sometimes | 00:07 |
| Pastafarian | I believe that minimising and maximising should fix that | 00:07 |
| Dr_Willis | heh.. cant say ive had that issue in ages with conky | 00:08 |
| Pastafarian | or check the conky config | 00:08 |
| Pastafarian | conky can be weird | 00:08 |
| Dr_Willis | been using that conky-manager tool the last few weeks. | 00:08 |
| Dr_Willis | it makes conky fairly user friendly | 00:08 |
| Pastafarian | haven't even heard of it | 00:08 |
| Pastafarian | is it cross OS? | 00:08 |
| Dr_Willis | i mentioned conky-manager a few min ago in here. | 00:09 |
| ineedhelp | done | 00:09 |
| Dr_Willis | its mentioned at the webupd8 or omgubuntu blog sites | 00:09 |
| Pastafarian | I did mean prior ofc | 00:09 |
| Pastafarian | I'm in arch :P | 00:09 |
| Pastafarian | and I don't follow ubuntu | 00:09 |
| Pastafarian | except server anyway | 00:09 |
| Dr_Willis | its basically a set of themes and a gui tool to configure the themes. | 00:09 |
| ineedhelp | okay i did that | 00:10 |
| Pastafarian | I'll probably find it in the AUR | 00:10 |
| Dr_Willis | has about 30+ differnt theme/setups | 00:10 |
| Pastafarian | try using youtube | 00:10 |
| ineedhelp | kk | 00:10 |
| ineedhelp | it works:P | 00:10 |
| Pastafarian | good good. | 00:11 |
| ineedhelp | what i need must not be flash player then... | 00:11 |
| Dr_Willis | the gui lets you select what conky 'configs' to use. and lets you tweak the configs with the gui. so you can set the colors. position, and even some other aspects of the configs like the network device. position,m and time format | 00:11 |
| Pastafarian | ineedhelp, one thing | 00:11 |
| wilee-nilee | ineedhelp, In FF plugins its called shockwave flash I believe | 00:11 |
| ineedhelp | yea it was not there | 00:11 |
| Pastafarian | do you plan on using stuff like iPlayer or 4oD | 00:11 |
| Pastafarian | i.e. online tv | 00:12 |
| ineedhelp | probably | 00:12 |
| mesoderm | When trying to boot from the livecd I get the following error: "kernel panic-not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown block" ... any idea what's causing this? | 00:12 |
| Pastafarian | Dr_Willis, been in dire need of that for a long time conky has | 00:12 |
| ineedhelp | what i am trying to get work is a chat room called chatforfree.org | 00:12 |
| mesoderm | It's weird because I am able to boot a debian livecd, and I was even able to boot the Ubuntu livecd once and run off the CD. When I rebooted to actually install ubuntu, it wouldn't boot for some reason and gave me that error | 00:12 |
| wilee-nilee | ineedhelp, Did you restart it after installing the restricted extras, it should of been closed anyway. | 00:12 |
| ineedhelp | yes i did | 00:12 |
| Pastafarian | mesoderm, that is usually when a kernel was compiled corrupt or with missing parts | 00:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Pastafarian: theres been some other simniler tools out for the last year or 3 - conky seems to get a spike in popularity for a bit.. then dies off. ;) | 00:12 |
| Dr_Willis | i tnd to fullscreen all my apps. so i dont even use conky much on most machines | 00:13 |
| wilee-nilee | mesoderm, check the sum, and make sure you have good burn, is this a ubuntu ISO? | 00:13 |
| ineedhelp | does anyone know what this chat site uses ? chatforfree.org? | 00:13 |
| mesoderm | Pastafarian, I verified that the CD burned correctly and it already booted once (I was able to use the desktop on the livecd just fine -- it wasn't until I rebooted that it didn't work) | 00:13 |
| pinPoint | is there a good tutorial out there to install apache 2.4 and php5.4 from apt-get versions on 12.04 lts now? | 00:13 |
| Pastafarian | ineedhelp, seems to work for me with flash ok here | 00:13 |
| Pastafarian | pinPoint, irony eh | 00:13 |
| ineedhelp | that chat site? | 00:13 |
| Pastafarian | I was arguing with the devs earlier about this | 00:14 |
| Pastafarian | ineedhelp, yes | 00:14 |
| mesoderm | (And it's a Xubuntu ISO) | 00:14 |
| Pastafarian | pinPoint, I suggest googling for a apache 2.4 ubuntu PPA | 00:14 |
| mrrcp | -p 60 fixed thatr | 00:14 |
| Pastafarian | there's quite a few to choose from | 00:14 |
| ineedhelp | do you have any other plugins installed that would affect it cause all i have is a black screen lol | 00:14 |
| wilee-nilee | Pastafarian, You, arguing, no do tell. ;) | 00:14 |
| Pastafarian | but be aware they are no where near as easily maintained | 00:14 |
| mesoderm | Pastafarian, It works fine on my other computers too | 00:14 |
| Pastafarian | wilee-nilee, they don't want to update to 2.4 in LTS, its a security issue with RC4 likely being cracked and forward secrecy not working due to 2.22 | 00:15 |
| sfarber53 | Is this a good place to ask questions about the xfce interface? | 00:15 |
| Pastafarian | Nor do they want to speed up rolling it out | 00:15 |
| pinPoint | Pastafarian: did you get your install going? | 00:15 |
| Pastafarian | Unfortunately pinPoint I cannot push PPAs to production :/ | 00:15 |
| Pastafarian | However I am fairly sure they work | 00:15 |
| ineedhelp | pasta the home page for the site comes up but when i go to login it is just a black screen | 00:16 |
| Pastafarian | just make sure you've purged all the 2.22 packages | 00:16 |
| pinPoint | Pastafarian: to production as in a production environ. in your place? | 00:16 |
| Pastafarian | one sec ineedhelp I'll have a look | 00:16 |
| Pastafarian | pinPoint, yeah. | 00:16 |
| ineedhelp | thanks mate i appreciate all of your help:) | 00:16 |
| wilee-nilee | sfarber53, ask and you will see. ;) | 00:16 |
| Pastafarian | ineedhelp, I have it working in chrome | 00:17 |
| Pastafarian | testing ff now | 00:17 |
| ineedhelp | that is weird | 00:17 |
| pinPoint | what are you two working on? | 00:17 |
| ineedhelp | he is helping me get on a site | 00:18 |
| ineedhelp | something is not letting me use it | 00:18 |
| pinPoint | My apache 2.2 works fine, I just want that bleeding edge security stuff, speed enhancements | 00:18 |
| pinPoint | i see | 00:18 |
| Pastafarian | works for me in both ineedhelp | 00:18 |
| Pastafarian | pinPoint, me too | 00:18 |
| ineedhelp | maybe i need to restart my computer.... | 00:18 |
| Pastafarian | I want Forward secrecy running yesterday | 00:18 |
| ineedhelp | brb | 00:18 |
| Pastafarian | ineedhelp, try that it might help | 00:18 |
| Pastafarian | 2.2 is great, but it doesn't support the modern ciphers that I want to use | 00:19 |
| pinPoint | I want PFS too!! | 00:19 |
| Pastafarian | at the moment 2.22 only works in chrome and safari I think | 00:19 |
| pinPoint | I also want to force at least tlsV1.1+ on everyone | 00:19 |
| Pastafarian | pin you should be able to do that | 00:19 |
| Pastafarian | give me a sec to check my server and its config | 00:19 |
| pinPoint | Pastafarian: I use SSLCipherSuite ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:AES256-GCM-SHA384:RC4+SHA:!DH:DHE-RSA-CAMELLIA256-SHA | 00:20 |
| Pastafarian | I was pretty sure we were running with 1.1 higher though it might be 1.0+ | 00:20 |
| Pastafarian | scan your server with https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest for tips | 00:21 |
| pinPoint | i did | 00:21 |
| pinPoint | got an A | 00:21 |
| pinPoint | but i see only about 3 1.2tls' in there | 00:21 |
| Pastafarian | a newp, I still support 1.0 | 00:21 |
| junktext | I can't stick around on chat (as I have to go somewhere, but I'll still idle), but if anybody has experience with fixing Steam, I have posted it on the forums here (so please respond there if you have any suggestions): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2171881 | 00:21 |
| ineedhelp_ | still not working..... | 00:22 |
| Pastafarian | I get 1.2 on safari and chrome with FS | 00:22 |
| nightdrever | i use thunderbird for an hotmail account however i dont get messages in tunderbird that in hotmail they go to a pop folder..... is there away to fix this? | 00:22 |
| Pastafarian | ineedhelp, I'm a bit limited as I am not in ubuntu for comparison | 00:22 |
| ineedhelp_ | its fine lol | 00:22 |
| Pastafarian | do other sites with flash work ok? | 00:22 |
| ineedhelp_ | youtube does that is why i said it might be another plugin | 00:22 |
| Pastafarian | youtube might not be a great test because if you dont have flash it uses html5 | 00:22 |
| pinPoint | I get no FS anywhere. :/ | 00:22 |
| pinPoint | but I do have a 100, 95,90,90 score so I don't know | 00:23 |
| Pastafarian | lemme read out my settings | 00:23 |
| ineedhelp_ | hold on i will try another site | 00:23 |
| OerHeks | nightdrever, i thought hotmail was dead, and you have to switch to 16 char-password-max outlook ? | 00:24 |
| Pastafarian | SSLCipherSuite EECDH+AES:EDH+AES:-SHA1:EECDH+RC4:EDH+RC4:RC4-SHA:EECDH+AES256:EDH+AES256:AES256-SHA:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXP:!LOW:!MD5 | 00:24 |
| Pastafarian | that gives | 00:24 |
| ineedhelp_ | ahh what | 00:24 |
| Pastafarian | 100 95 08 90 | 00:25 |
| Pastafarian | ineedhelp_, I was chatting to pinPoint | 00:25 |
| ineedhelp_ | o lol | 00:25 |
| marcoo | i can't make Transmission work properly, i want to set the priority of a file but it wont let me | 00:25 |
| marcoo | how can i do that? | 00:26 |
| Pastafarian | ineedhelp_, any progress? | 00:26 |
| mesoderm | Is there anything bad that will happen if I deactivate UEFI boot in the BIOS and use CSM? | 00:26 |
| ineedhelp_ | i am trying to see if there is a plugin that i might need that i do not have installed | 00:27 |
| mesoderm | (I'm having problems with EFI and radeon driver) | 00:27 |
| Pastafarian | mesoderm, not likely I think | 00:27 |
| pinPoint | I got 4 FS where I wasn't able to before but my Key exchange droped to 80 instead of 90 | 00:27 |
| Pastafarian | it will take longer to boot I think | 00:27 |
| Pastafarian | thats about it | 00:27 |
| pinPoint | I was getting to Fails on two types of browsers | 00:28 |
| mesoderm | Pastafarian, OK Thanks. I was just worried that it might break certain hardware or something | 00:28 |
| ineedhelp_ | this just does not make any sense to me what so ever it should work | 00:28 |
| pinPoint | IE6/XP and IE11/Win8.1 | 00:28 |
| Pastafarian | pinPoint, I think you get a fail on one of the IE | 00:28 |
| nightdrever | ok my 'junk' mail from hotmail isnt getiing to thunderbird how do i change this? | 00:28 |
| Pastafarian | that one fails only on IE6 | 00:28 |
| Pastafarian | which is a suitable penalty for using IE6 | 00:28 |
| pinPoint | I want to force 1.1 and force all visitors to upgrade to a newer/latest browser | 00:29 |
| pinPoint | I mean you can have XP on your machine but still run latest Chrome 29 wwith support for 1.2 | 00:29 |
| pinPoint | so I don't know what the problem is | 00:29 |
| Pastafarian | indeed, I think if you drop 1.1 | 00:30 |
| Pastafarian | without the other 1.2 suites | 00:30 |
| Pastafarian | you will fail a lot of browsers | 00:30 |
| Pastafarian | since apache 2.22 doesnt do most of the 1.2 suites | 00:30 |
| Pastafarian | rock and hard place... | 00:30 |
| pinPoint | :/ | 00:30 |
| * wiak is trying to encode somethings but my ubuntu system just reboots randomly | 00:31 | |
| wiak | bah | 00:31 |
| pinPoint | how about tlsv1.1 minimum, its not much to ask | 00:31 |
| nightdrever | my 'junk' mail from hotmail isnt getiing to thunderbird how do i change this? | 00:31 |
| pinPoint | and Eol on all SSLv | 00:31 |
| gener1c | man , is it only me or does eclipse have issues with java lately | 00:32 |
| gener1c | no perspective out of the box no highlighting | 00:33 |
| gener1c | whats going on :( | 00:33 |
| gener1c | 12.04 LTS FTL | 00:33 |
| Pastafarian | nightdrever, thats a config on hotmail's side I think | 00:34 |
| pinPoint | Pastafarian: with #SSLCipherSuite ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:AES256-GCM-SHA384:RC4+SHA:!DH:DHE-RSA-CAMELLIA256-SHA - I get 100,95,90,90 | 00:34 |
| Pastafarian | you might need to disable their junk filter | 00:34 |
| Pastafarian | pinPoint, what about FS? | 00:34 |
| pinPoint | No FS in site... this is depressing. | 00:34 |
| Pastafarian | yup I compromised to get some FS if not all | 00:35 |
| ineedhelp_ | this just makes no sense i works for you and not me | 00:35 |
| Pastafarian | ineedhelp_, you got chromium installed? | 00:35 |
| Pastafarian | try it with that | 00:35 |
| ineedhelp_ | you are talking about google chrome? | 00:35 |
| Pastafarian | I'm not in ubuntu, I am in arch linux so it not working isn't so crazy. | 00:35 |
| Pastafarian | and yeah ineedhelp_ | 00:35 |
| Pastafarian | but it will be chromium for linux | 00:36 |
| wilee-nilee | nightdrever, You looking in all the possible folders, the ones in the gmail section like spam? | 00:36 |
| ineedhelp_ | what is arch linux | 00:36 |
| smaudet | gener1c: I don't use eclipse, but if I can point you towards another editor, just use a text editor ;) (any really) | 00:36 |
| Pastafarian | a different operating system ineedhelp_ | 00:36 |
| smaudet | gener1c: also !ot | 00:36 |
| ineedhelp_ | is it easier to use than ubuntu? | 00:36 |
| Pastafarian | in short, absolutely not :P | 00:36 |
| kostkon | ineedhelp_, not really | 00:36 |
| ineedhelp_ | lol | 00:36 |
| Pastafarian | for a new person to linux, its totally impossible to use I think | 00:37 |
| bazhang | !ot | 00:37 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 00:37 |
| smaudet | ineedhelp_ it is not a 'different operating system' in the strict sense - different distro, which means all the CONFIGURATION is very different | 00:37 |
| wilee-nilee | nightdrever, Doh, ah hotmail, sorry you lookin in ever folder though right | 00:37 |
| pinPoint | ECDHE_RSA Tlsv1.1, how is https google doing it? | 00:37 |
| ineedhelp_ | smaudet i know that:P | 00:37 |
| smaudet | ineedhelp_ he is right about it not being 'easier' | 00:37 |
| mrrcp | nah linux is simple | 00:37 |
| mrrcp | lol | 00:37 |
| Pastafarian | pinPoint, they're probably on nginx or another webserver | 00:37 |
| Pastafarian | mrrcp, the install process for arch is more than a little involved | 00:37 |
| smaudet | mrrcp: linux is #ubuntu-offtopic sorry for encouraging | 00:37 |
| smaudet | pinPoint: again, #offtopic, but I think they have/had some custom stuff | 00:38 |
| gener1c | i installed eclipse and i cant seem to be able to use the jdk part of it | 00:38 |
| gener1c | no java perspective no new java project no nothing | 00:38 |
| Pastafarian | indeed, google make their own hardware remember ;P | 00:39 |
| pinPoint | smaudet: alright, thanks. | 00:39 |
| Pastafarian | custom servers are highly likely | 00:39 |

| Pastafarian | ineedhelp_, you got chromium installed? | 00:39 |
| smaudet | gener1c: try #eclipse perhaps | 00:39 |
| gener1c | its a package | 00:39 |
| ineedhelp_ | chromie? | 00:39 |
| ineedhelp_ | crome | 00:39 |
| gener1c | it doesnt install right | 00:39 |
| Pastafarian | yes | 00:39 |
| smaudet | eclipse is #eclipse, it is not #ubuntu | 00:39 |
| Pastafarian | sudo apt-get install chromium | 00:39 |
| gener1c | apt-get install eclipse | 00:39 |
| Pastafarian | its chrome essentially | 00:39 |
| smaudet | gener1c: look for help from them first | 00:39 |
| gener1c | fine | 00:40 |

| Pastafarian | then try opening the site in chrome and see if it loads | 00:41 |
| ineedhelp_ | yea the last command you gave me did not work lol | 00:42 |
| ineedhelp_ | i am getting errors... | 00:42 |
| smaudet | No... | 00:42 |
| smaudet | it should be in the repos | 00:43 |
| smaudet | http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/universe amd64 Packages <- my version | 00:43 |
| smaudet | ineedhelp_: try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install chromium-browser | 00:43 |
| Pastafarian | package lists probably not up to date so run the above ^ | 00:43 |
| ineedhelp_ | that seems to be working so far | 00:44 |
| smaudet | The update part will | 00:44 |
| smaudet | the other part may still error | 00:44 |
| smaudet | If it doesn't work the ppas you need are here: https://launchpad.net/chromium-browser | 00:45 |
| Pastafarian | smaudet, I'm sure its meant to be in the repo | 00:46 |
| Pastafarian | I installed it not too long ago | 00:46 |
| Dr_Willis | its in the universe repo | 00:47 |
| Pastafarian | https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/chromium-browser/ | 00:47 |
| smaudet | Pastafarian, yeah probably just un-updated repo lists | 00:47 |
| Pastafarian | it'll work from that using the software center if needed | 00:47 |
| smaudet | If he's installing chromium for the first time I'll also wager this is a brand new ubuntu install | 00:47 |
| Pastafarian | true | 00:47 |
| Anti | Guys i really need help i naad tro change my display but ubuntu cant find the display | 00:47 |
| Pastafarian | he's trying to get a website working | 00:48 |

| ubottu | Anti: 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 ..." | 00:48 |
| smaudet | there was a guy in here with a similar problem yesterday | 00:48 |
| Dr_Willis | err.. shockwave4 is not flash is it? | 00:48 |
| Pastafarian | shockwave isnt | 00:48 |
| Dr_Willis | i thought shockwave died out like years ago | 00:48 |
| andornaut | Anyone have a recommendation for a program that helps create custom install scripts? Essentially a make / ant / etc but more simple - basically for running recipes like d/l this from github, run make && make install, etc. I just create shell scripts now, but I was wondering if there are alternatives for local deployment (so, not ansible / chef / puppet / etc) ? | 00:48 |
| Pastafarian | shockwave it super dated | 00:48 |
| Pastafarian | Dr_Willis, it doesnt ask me for shockwave | 00:48 |
| Dr_Willis | whats the url? | 00:49 |
| ineedhelp_ | i hate shockwave it is trash | 00:49 |
| ineedhelp_ | this still wont work even with chrome | 00:49 |
| smaudet | Dr_Willis: Adobe is incredibly confusing. There's Flash, Chrome's Pepper, Gnash, Gordon, Shumway, Shockwave, Air, Flex, and half a dozen Flash IDEs | 00:49 |
| Anti | Okai i changed my display setting now everytime i boot my pc it boots then loads a black screen | 00:49 |
| smaudet | Dr_Willis: not to mention about 10 different versions of the flash player | 00:50 |
| Anti | I changed my display setting using xrandr | 00:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Anti: the login screen dosent work either? | 00:50 |
| Anti | Nope nothing i only have recovery mode | 00:50 |
| smaudet | I've rarely seen anyone actually use Shockwave, don't know why they haven't just killed it yet. | 00:51 |
| Anti | Thats the only way i have to fix this | 00:51 |
| ineedhelp_ | this is irritating.... | 00:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Anti: so how did you change your display setting? | 00:51 |
| Dr_Willis | ineedhelp_: what is the url? | 00:51 |
| ineedhelp_ | www.chatforfree.org | 00:52 |
| Anti | Well i changfwd ot using xrandr | 00:52 |
| ineedhelp_ | it works with windows | 00:52 |
| Anti | But before then it was booting in to ubuntu | 00:52 |
| Anti | Now its not | 00:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Anti: asfar as i know xrandr will not change the res or settings system wide.. | 00:52 |
| Pastafarian | http://www.chatforfree.org/ | 00:52 |
| Anti | :/ | 00:52 |
| client | ping 8.8.8.8 | 00:52 |
| reisio | iUnify: get it? | 00:53 |
| Dr_Willis | i diddnt think xrandr changes survived a reboot either | 00:53 |
| Pastafarian | client? | 00:53 |
| ineedhelp_ | it wont let me sign in on chrome or ff | 00:53 |
| reisio | you'd probably need to put them into a conf, yeah | 00:53 |
| Anti | Thats all ive done i made a custom mode | 00:53 |
| wilee-nilee | Dr_Willis, For some rteason in my FF adboe flash is called shockwave flash 11.2, must be an inside joke this is the flash from the restricted extras the flash plugin. | 00:54 |
| Pastafarian | Dr_Willis, could it be a HAL issue? | 00:54 |
| reisio | shockwave flash is the older more fuller name of flash :) | 00:54 |
| reisio | not to be confused with just shockwave | 00:54 |
| Anti | To allow me to use another screen resolutions now it worked but aftrer restart it shows black screen | 00:54 |
| kostkon | and it was a macromedia product | 00:54 |
| reisio | which never really caught on | 00:54 |
| wilee-nilee | ah, thats what I fighured | 00:54 |
| Pastafarian | ineedhelp_, try running this | 00:55 |
| Pastafarian | sudo apt-get install hal | 00:55 |
| ineedhelp_ | wait reisio | 00:55 |
| Pastafarian | if they have some kind of weird flash DRM on it | 00:55 |
| Pastafarian | that could be why | 00:55 |
| reisio | ineedhelp_: you should only need "flash" for that site | 00:55 |
| Anti | Should i uninstall xrandr | 00:55 |
| reisio | pretty unlikely for a site like that | 00:55 |
| Dr_Willis | ineedhelp_: that site seems to be working for me. It is using flash | 00:55 |
| reisio | I don't have a webcam handy to test it | 00:55 |
| ineedhelp_ | okay but shockwave has crashed on me before on that site | 00:55 |
| Pastafarian | Dr_Willis, I get the same | 00:55 |
| reisio | but Dr_Willis has :p | 00:55 |
| Pastafarian | ineedhelp_, are you sure flash is working? | 00:55 |
| reisio | ineedhelp_: that's pretty typical on any OS, though :) | 00:55 |
| Dr_Willis | i got a webcam but i am in a text only chat | 00:55 |
| Pastafarian | test it on the adobe site | 00:55 |
| ineedhelp_ | kk | 00:56 |
| wilee-nilee | Anti, run just xrandr and it will tell you waht resolutions will work | 00:56 |
| Anti | No it dont | 00:56 |
| Anti | It show cant open display | 00:56 |
| wilee-nilee | Anti, does here is this from a tty? | 00:56 |
| Anti | Sorry | 00:56 |
| Anti | Tty ? | 00:57 |
| Dr_Willis | yea.. i think i will avoid chatforfree in the future.. ;) had 5 people all wantinbg my A/S/L | 00:57 |
| Dr_Willis | ;) | 00:57 |
| smaudet | reisio: are you 100% sure about that? Perhaps I'm thinking of something else but you used to be able to download a seperate shockwave plugin, for stuff that e.g. Shockwave Director produced. | 00:57 |
| wilee-nilee | anti ctrl-alt f1 gets yo to the tty console | 00:57 |
| ineedhelp_ | i can't find the test flash thing lol | 00:57 |
| reisio | smaudet: right, that never really caught on | 00:57 |
| Anti | When booting ? | 00:57 |
| reisio | smaudet: shockwave and shockwave flash, two different things, the latter is now commonly just called 'flash' | 00:57 |
| smaudet | reisio: you're right, but there were some lone instances of it | 00:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Anti: at any time after the system has booted | 00:58 |
| wilee-nilee | Anti, From the desktop or if the OS is running generally. | 00:58 |
| reisio | yeah I can remember one or two :p | 00:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Anti: alt-ctrl-f# get to the consoles | 00:58 |
| Pastafarian | ineedhelp_, http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ | 00:58 |
| reisio | SWF, shock wave flash, etc. :) | 00:58 |
| Pastafarian | that should tell you the version | 00:58 |
| ineedhelp_ | it says it is running on my system | 00:58 |
| Pastafarian | and show the bouncing cube animation | 00:58 |
| smaudet | ineedhelp_: what version number? | 00:58 |
| Anti | Okai i have that | 00:58 |
| smaudet | also what site | 00:58 |
| Pastafarian | http://www.chatforfree.org/ | 00:59 |
| Pastafarian | ^ that site | 00:59 |
| * smaudet deep breath | 00:59 | |
| smaudet | here goes | 00:59 |
| ineedhelp_ | it says the version number is 10,1,999,0 which is not even on the list | 00:59 |
| wilee-nilee | Anti, Have you tried a nomodeset boot as well, it is hard to tell if you have the resolution wrong or maybe need graphic drivers. | 00:59 |
| wilee-nilee | or both | 00:59 |
| Dr_Willis | diving into the shallow and dirty end of the internet pool ;) | 00:59 |
| Anti | I also get cant open display there | 00:59 |
| smaudet | ineedhelp_ you don't have the pepper flash installed yet then | 01:00 |
| smaudet | hang on | 01:00 |
| Anti | In tty1 | 01:00 |
| ineedhelp_ | how many flashs do i need geeze lol | 01:00 |
| Anti | Nope ive not tried that | 01:00 |
| smaudet | ineedhelp_ ikr? lol | 01:00 |
| smaudet | anyways go to chrome://plugins and tell me if you see any flash version in there | 01:00 |
| ineedhelp_ | i think this is the 3rd one i should just call adobe and make them figure it out lol | 01:01 |
| wilee-nilee | Anti, ealier today you said you ran a xrandr resize but did not set it is this correct? | 01:01 |
| Anti | Yeah i never save it | 01:01 |
| ineedhelp_ | i checked in firefox... | 01:01 |
| Anti | But i made a cxustom mode | 01:01 |
| wilee-nilee | !nomodeset | Anti try this | 01:01 |
| ubottu | Anti try this: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 01:01 |
| smaudet | ineedhelp_: ok so here's the dealio | 01:01 |
| Anti | Okai | 01:01 |
| smaudet | I have two versions of chrome on my machine | 01:01 |
| fabiio | ciao | 01:02 |

| smaudet | Version A) is Chromium, it has Flash 11.2 - this may work, but its not going to work very well | 01:02 |
| ineedhelp_ | let me check chrome cause i tried signing in on both | 01:02 |
| * wilee-nilee wonders why people even use chrome. ;) | 01:02 | |
| smaudet | Version B) is Google Chrome, it has Flash 11.8, which should work just fine | 01:02 |
| wilee-nilee | cept for the flash I guess | 01:02 |
| ineedhelp_ | where do i check in chrome? | 01:02 |
| smaudet | so ineedhelp_ you'll need to either A) install the pepper flash plugin into chromium or B) install google chrome | 01:03 |
| durt | hey folks, anyone know why both onboard audio inputs and my pci audigy ca0106 inputs won't route to outputs, 13.04 | 01:03 |
| smaudet | your choice | 01:03 |
| smaudet | ineedhelp_ you can check in chrome://plugins | 01:03 |
| smaudet | type that into the url bar | 01:03 |
| ineedhelp_ | i have google chrome it is installed | 01:03 |
| ineedhelp_ | stil does not work | 01:03 |
| ineedhelp_ | lol | 01:03 |
| smaudet | ineedhelp_: send me a screenshot of your plugins page | 01:05 |
| Anti | Nope shjow the same thing | 01:05 |
| ineedhelp_ | flash is running on my system | 01:05 |
| ineedhelp_ | what is the command for pepper based flash? | 01:07 |
| Pastafarian | I would have thought it came with the chromium browser package | 01:07 |
| Pastafarian | what is in | 01:07 |
| Pastafarian | chrome://plugins | 01:07 |
| ineedhelp_ | one sec | 01:07 |
| Pastafarian | goes into chrome's url bar | 01:08 |
| smaudet | ineedhelp_: paste a screenshot of what's in there, it should look something like this: http://imageshack.com/scaled/large/842/p39i.png | 01:08 |
| ineedhelp_ | it does look like that | 01:09 |
| ineedhelp_ | and it is checked to always allow it was not before tho... | 01:09 |
| Anti | That never worked | 01:09 |
| Dr|Craig | anyone install ubuntu on amac | 01:09 |
| Pastafarian | No but there is not a reason I can think of why it wouldn't work. | 01:10 |
| ineedhelp_ | ik that is why i am confused | 01:10 |
| Dr|Craig | im using a distro based on ubuntu and I can click with the trackpad but not move it | 01:10 |
| smaudet | ineedhelp_ can you paste a screenie of what exactly on that site isn't working? | 01:10 |
| smaudet | I got in just fine as a guest, I may need to find a webcam faker though | 01:11 |
| Dr_Willis | chromium-browser does not use/come with google;s pepper-flash as far as i know | 01:11 |
| ineedhelp_ | do you know what a black screen looks like? | 01:11 |
| ineedhelp_ | that is what i am getting | 01:11 |
| Dr_Willis | smaudet: ;) it worked with 13.10 firefox and flash here. | 01:11 |
| ineedhelp_ | i can't even get the sign in page to appear | 01:11 |
| Anti | Guys my screen when the system boots looks like its on standby | 01:11 |
| smaudet | ineedhelp_ do you know how to take a screenshot? | 01:11 |
| ineedhelp_ | yes lol | 01:11 |
| smaudet | You should just be able to hit 'print screen' | 01:11 |
| smaudet | ok well then take one and post it plz | 01:12 |
| smaudet | Your site seems to be fully functional over here on chrome | 01:12 |
| Anti | :/ i guess i better find my live usb | 01:12 |
| smaudet | Can't help if you can't be more specific about the problem | 01:12 |
| Dr|Craig | anti what system are you running and ubuntu build | 01:13 |
| Anti | Lubuntu and its an gx620 dell | 01:14 |
| smaudet | Dr_Willis: I'm not even sure what version of a browser ineedhelp_ is running at the moment ;) | 01:14 |
| smaudet | He may or may not have opened chrome instead of chromium | 01:14 |
| ineedhelp_ | i told you | 01:14 |
| Kyan` | hi! | 01:14 |
| Kyan` | someone alive? | 01:14 |
| ineedhelp_ | i have ff and chrome runing | 01:14 |
| smaudet | Without a screenshot or more information there's not much I can do | 01:14 |
| Anti | Im running 13:04 | 01:14 |
| Anti | Lubuntu | 01:14 |
| ineedhelp_ | http://imageshack.com/user/jamie.smith.3705157 | 01:15 |
| Dr|Craig | oh when you boot anti press e in grub and remove something that loos like quiet splash | 01:15 |
| dunizen | Hey fellas. | 01:15 |
| Kyan` | i've a problem with mtab. string is: " /dev/sda2 /backup ext4 rw 0 0 ", but i'm unable to write on it without root permissions | 01:15 |
| Anti | I did | 01:15 |
| dunizen | Can anyone give me a hand with something? | 01:15 |
| Kyan` | how can i fix it? | 01:15 |
| Dr|Craig | hmm | 01:15 |
| smaudet | ineedhelp_ that's not chrome | 01:15 |
| smaudet | that's chromium | 01:15 |
| ineedhelp_ | grrrrrrrrrrrrr | 01:16 |
| dunizen | Chromium seems to work a lot better than Chrome on linux. I had quite a few problems with it on my last install. | 01:16 |
| smaudet | dunizen: sure but this is flash player | 01:16 |
| smaudet | dunizen: and google chrome's flash player seems to work the best (better than 11.2 in chromium or firefox) | 01:17 |
| dunizen | smaudet: Thats a fair point. I had severe freezing and locking up issues with it though. | 01:17 |
| dunizen | Was never able to figure it out. | 01:17 |
| ineedhelp_ | okay how do i uninstall chromium in terminal and install "chrome" | 01:17 |
| Anti | I made my own mode with xrandr ro allow me to run a certain screen resolution and it worked but after restart the pc bpox then the screen goes into standby | 01:17 |
| grendal-prime | hey guys im trying to use xrdp on this server but every diff machine i log in with its like i get an entirely differnt session | 01:18 |
| dunizen | ineedhelp_: type sudo apt-get purge chrome | 01:18 |
| smaudet | ineedhelp_ are you sure you want to uninstall chromium? Anyways the command is sudo apt-get remove chromium-browser | 01:18 |
| grendal-prime | i really need to log in and get the same session with the same settings as the last machine i loges in with | 01:18 |
| smaudet | for chrome you want sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable | 01:18 |
| dunizen | If you do remove it doesn't take care of the extra files. Purge removes everything. | 01:18 |
| sudormrf | Hey. I am trying to install ubuntu 13.04 on my Windows 8 machine, but the livedisk never seems to start. | 01:18 |
| smaudet | dunizen: sure but purge removes config, no good if you decide to reinstall later | 01:19 |
| smaudet | hence why its not default | 01:19 |
| dunizen | I'm trying to configure xchat to work with the game surge network but when I enter the info it won't connect to the server. | 01:19 |
| ineedhelp_ | unable to locate google-chrome-stable... | 01:19 |
| dunizen | smaudet: Fair point my friend. | 01:19 |
| dunizen | You can always download the deb file from the google website. | 01:19 |
| Dr_Willis | ineedhelp_: theres no need to uninstall one. You can have google-chrome and chromium both installed at the same time | 01:19 |
| dunizen | It automatically will install it for you. | 01:19 |
| Dr_Willis | the .deb file should add the google repos i belive also | 01:20 |
| dunizen | It did for me,. | 01:20 |
| ineedhelp_ | well the command to install chrome is saying it cannot find the package | 01:20 |
| Dr_Willis | ineedhelp_: what command Exactly? | 01:20 |
| Dr_Willis | google-chrome is not in the default repos | 01:20 |
| dunizen | Yea if you go to google.com and download chrome from there the deb file will install the needed repositories for you. | 01:20 |
| ineedhelp_ | sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable | 01:20 |
| wilee-nilee | !uefi | sudormrf | 01:20 |
| ubottu | sudormrf: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 01:20 |
| Dr_Willis | ineedhelp_: you have enabled the google repos? | 01:21 |
| ineedhelp_ | nope no one said i had too... | 01:21 |
| smaudet | ineedhelp_: mm I have the repo...Dr_Willis: should I just paste the install link or have them add the repo to their sources.list? | 01:21 |
| smaudet | what's the official recommended path? | 01:21 |
| dunizen | I'd have him get the deb file. | 01:21 |
| Dr_Willis | ineedhelp_: i have said so .and i think it was said earlier | 01:21 |
| dunizen | Its the most simple | 01:21 |
| wilee-nilee | sudormrf, Take a looky here as well. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295 | 01:21 |
| smaudet | k ineedhelp_ install this: https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/ | 01:21 |
| dunizen | There we go :) | 01:21 |
| ineedhelp_ | i think linux is a pieace of crap after using it.... | 01:22 |
| dunizen | It just takes some time to get used to. | 01:22 |
| dunizen | I hated it at first and now I love it., | 01:22 |
| OerHeks | bad flash performance could be a videodriver issue too | 01:22 |
| dunizen | <ineedhelp_> What else do you need help with? | 01:22 |
| Dr_Willis | http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-install-google-chrome-in-ubuntu-linux-12-xx-13-xx/ | 01:22 |
| ineedhelp_ | no it is just a pain to set up | 01:22 |
| ineedhelp_ | just getting this site to work | 01:22 |
| smaudet | ineedhelp_: flash and chrome having problems aren't anything to do with linux | 01:23 |
| sudormrf | wilee-nilee, it seems that most of this assumes that you can actually get the live disk running in the first place... | 01:23 |
| smaudet | that's chrome and flash's problem. | 01:23 |
| Dr_Willis | ineedhelp_: i think you are blaming ubuntu for adobes failures | 01:23 |
| grendal-prime | yuck | 01:23 |
| dunizen | Lol I did the same thing for a while. | 01:23 |
| dunizen | Finally figured it out. | 01:23 |
| ineedhelp_ | either way something is not working..... | 01:23 |
| grendal-prime | everytime i run chrome now my laptop locks up | 01:23 |
| dunizen | ineedhelp_: What are you trying to get working? | 01:23 |
| Dr_Willis | if you want to test it in google-chrome - see that url above | 01:23 |
| grendal-prime | randomly of course | 01:24 |
| smaudet | dunizen: an all adobe-flash website | 01:24 |
| smaudet | http://www.chatforfree.org/ | 01:24 |
| ineedhelp_ | www.chatforfree.org | 01:24 |
| dunizen | grendal-prime: I can help you with that. Mine used to do the same thing. | 01:24 |
| grendal-prime | really | 01:24 |
| sudormrf | wilee-nilee, I've changed the boot options to boot from my live disk first... and no dice.. turned off secure boot -- no dice... | 01:24 |
| dunizen | smaudet: Whats the link I'm going to see if it works for me. | 01:24 |
| grendal-prime | i5 proc from system76 | 01:24 |
| smaudet | dunizen: well you can scroll up to see the broken version he posted, but here: | 01:25 |
| grendal-prime | dunizen, what was the cause if you dont mind me asking | 01:25 |
| dunizen | grendal-prime: It has something to do with the version of chrome and flash and all that. I removed chrome and installed chromium and it worked fine after that. | 01:26 |
| sudormrf | wilee-nilee, I don't even get the grub menu :-/ | 01:26 |
| grendal-prime | ya tried that still does it | 01:26 |
| === peter is now known as Guest64994 | ||
| smaudet | dunizen: http://imageshack.com/scaled/large/689/2kz0.png | 01:26 |
| dunizen | grendal-prime: Did you just remove it or did you purge everything before installing chromium? | 01:26 |
| sudormrf | I just keep getting The selected boot device failed. Press <Enter> to continue. :-/ | 01:26 |
| ineedhelp_ | chrome is almost done installing... | 01:26 |
| smaudet | just as seedy of a website as you'd expect for an all adobe flash site, you get what you go for, I guess :P | 01:27 |
| grendal-prime | im fine with not using chrom...honeslty its supposed to be this all smooth minimalistic approach i still fine firefox to be quicker with less junc | 01:27 |
| grendal-prime | not sure if i purged the chrome ill try it. | 01:27 |
| ineedhelp_ | thank you! | 01:28 |
| dunizen | smaudet: The site seems to work fine for me. | 01:28 |
| ineedhelp_ | it works! | 01:28 |
| dunizen | I'm in a chat room right now. | 01:28 |
| Hodapp | grendal-prime: I like Firefox, but Chrome/Chromium seem to be much faster and more stable. | 01:28 |
| smaudet | dunizen: yup | 01:28 |
| ineedhelp_ | dunizen i works now | 01:28 |
| smaudet | ineedhelp_ you're welcome | 01:28 |
| wilee-nilee | sudormrf, You would see grub without an install. | 01:28 |
| Hodapp | which annoys me because I like the add-ons better in FF. | 01:29 |
| ineedhelp_ | thanks guys:) took awhile but we got it:) | 01:29 |
| dunizen | ineedhelp_: Good glad we could help :) | 01:29 |
| smaudet | dunizen: 11.2 works sporadically, wasn't working for him | 01:29 |
| Hodapp | but FF still will randomly crash on me or hog the CPU. | 01:29 |
| grendal-prime | ive never experinced that bliss. chrome has a lot more going on and takes alot longer to load. | 01:29 |
| smaudet | dunizen: had the same sort of issue with youtube a while back | 01:29 |
| sudormrf | wilee-nilee, err... sorry, not what I meant... I meant the splash with "install ubuntu" and "try ubuntu without installing" etc. | 01:29 |
| smaudet | cannot wait until their purge the filthy abom. from their site entirely. | 01:29 |
| dunizen | Ah/ | 01:29 |
| Hodapp | grendal-prime: huh, weird. for me it's always been faster, particularly on my ARM laptop | 01:29 |
| smaudet | they* | 01:29 |
| smaudet | excuse the vitriol | 01:29 |
| grendal-prime | there are codecs specifically for chrome. | 01:30 |
| ineedhelp_ | anyone know of a webcam program that i can show my screen with by any chance? | 01:30 |
| dunizen | Alrighty guys I could use a hand :) | 01:30 |
| dunizen | ineedhelp_: Use Skype. | 01:30 |
| wilee-nilee | sudormrf, I was not trying to help you other than to link you to the standard uefi help links, I know nothing about uefi. | 01:30 |
| smaudet | grendal-prime: right but google hasn't gotten them to work in their own browser yet ;) | 01:30 |
| Hodapp | smaudet: like what? | 01:30 |
| smaudet | And hence you get an 'unsupported' error | 01:30 |
| ineedhelp_ | duniznen i mean for like in a chat room lol | 01:30 |
| sudormrf | wilee-nilee, okay, understood. Thanks. | 01:30 |
| grendal-prime | i mean when that sort of thing starts happening...well pretty easy to figre that things are going to need more load time | 01:30 |
| ineedhelp_ | like manycam | 01:30 |
| smaudet | Hodapp: just talking about my prior experiences with chrome | 01:31 |
| smaudet | Hodapp: why I haven't disabled flash yet | 01:31 |
| dunizen | ineedhelp_: Ah lol. Yea I'm lost on that one,. | 01:31 |
| Hodapp | smaudet: ah, just curious which plugins you meant | 01:31 |
| grendal-prime | anyway i striped out all the chrome and chromium stuff..now you say just install chromium? | 01:31 |
| checoimg | ineedhelp_ : Alternative , Teamviewer | 01:31 |
| dunizen | grendal-prime: Yea thats what I did. | 01:31 |
| ineedhelp_ | that will not work in a chat room either lol | 01:31 |
| dunizen | Good spot checoimg | 01:31 |
| dunizen | I love that proram | 01:31 |
| checoimg | ineedhelp_ : yes it does have a chat | 01:31 |
| ineedhelp_ | checoimg i am talking for i want to use it inside of a chatroom | 01:32 |
| checoimg | let me install it here and check | 01:32 |
| dunizen | I think hes talking about a standalone video program to run alongside a chatroom? | 01:32 |
| checoimg | I remember it has a chat | 01:32 |
| ineedhelp_ | yes | 01:32 |
| smaudet | Also Jitsi | 01:32 |
| ineedhelp_ | dunizen | 01:32 |
| checoimg | OH I see | 01:32 |
| smaudet | https://jitsi.org/ | 01:32 |
| Anti | Okai i got it working again :) | 01:32 |
| dunizen | ineedhelp_: Whatcha need? | 01:32 |
| grendal-prime | ya teamviewer is pretty kick ass really | 01:32 |
| dunizen | Yes it is. | 01:32 |
| dunizen | I use it on all my computers | 01:32 |
| smaudet | Jitsi or TeamViewer. Sure | 01:33 |
| ineedhelp_ | smaudet found it | 01:33 |
| ineedhelp_ | teamviewer is a remote desktop tool | 01:33 |
| smaudet | ineedhelp_ yeah and a fairly good free one | 01:33 |
| dunizen | smaudet: How would I add a sever to xchat? I'm trying to get into a help room for old halflife mods but can't get the server to work. | 01:33 |
| smaudet | ineedhelp_ eventually google chrome will do that anyways, no plugins necessary | 01:33 |
| smaudet | dunizen: XChat -> Network List -> Add | 01:34 |
| dunizen | smaudet: Yea but when I add the sever and try to connect it says error looking up IRC | 01:34 |
| Pastafarian | you got ineedhelp_'s website working yet? | 01:34 |
| wilee-nilee | dunizen, The first screen on xchat has a list of servers is the one you want there? | 01:34 |
| dunizen | I think so. | 01:34 |
| ineedhelp_ | yes we did | 01:35 |
| ineedhelp_ | not just looking for a program to show my desktop on cam | 01:35 |
| ineedhelp_ | now | 01:35 |
| smaudet | you may need to edit the details | 01:35 |
| dunizen | wilee-nilee: No I have to add it but when I add the server info from the website it won't connect. | 01:35 |
| smaudet | so click the network, hit edit | 01:35 |
| smaudet | edit those details ;) | 01:35 |
| wilee-nilee | dunizen, YOU might ask in #xchat | 01:35 |
| dunizen | Yea I've added the IRC link and the ports but nothing seems to work. | 01:36 |
| checoimg | anyways forget about TEamviewer, dependency not satisfiable | 01:36 |
| smaudet | dunizen: ask in #xchat then | 01:36 |
| dunizen | smaudet: Thanks will do. | 01:37 |
| smaudet | dunizen: and if that still doesn't work its not the only irc client, I used to use pidgin for irc quite a lot | 01:37 |
| smaudet | even wrote a manual on pidgin as a wiki | 01:37 |
| dunizen | smaudet: Eh I tried a few this is the only one I like so far. | 01:38 |
| Pastafarian | hmm desktop on camera | 01:38 |
| Pastafarian | xsplit? | 01:38 |
| dunizen | smaudet: I look it up though | 01:38 |
| Pastafarian | open broadcasting software? | 01:38 |
| Pastafarian | why wasn't his website showing up? | 01:39 |
| Pastafarian | gfx drivers? | 01:39 |
| smaudet | Pastafarian: old version of flash | 01:39 |
| smaudet | Pepper flash worked for him | 01:39 |
| Pastafarian | dayum | 01:39 |
| smaudet | Some graphics drivers/hardware just don't work well and the old stuff (11.2) won't work right | 01:39 |
| Pastafarian | stuck in chrome then | 01:39 |
| Pastafarian | you tried the open flash plugin? | 01:40 |
| smaudet | lol no I wasn't going to get him to try that | 01:40 |
| smaudet | That would have really been a trip up complex lane for a beginner. | 01:40 |
| wilee-nilee | please use nicks folks | 01:40 |

| badabing | hello my apt-get is locked | 01:42 |
| badabing | can someone help me | 01:42 |
| dunizen | badabing: What does it say in the console when you try to use it? | 01:44 |
| smaudet | !ask } badabing | 01:44 |
| ubottu | smaudet: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 01:44 |
| OerHeks | badabing, trying to apt-get with softwarecenter open? | 01:44 |
| smaudet | !ask | badabing | 01:44 |
| ubottu | badabing: 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 | 01:44 |
| badabing | OerHeks: i guess it was apply changes | 01:44 |
| badabing | or trying to | 01:44 |
| badabing | but i didnt open it | 01:44 |
| badabing | i just started the system | 01:44 |
| dunizen | badabing: Were you doing an update or anything of the sort? Are any programs updating in software center? | 01:45 |
| badabing | hrmmm | 01:45 |
| badabing | now its just stalled at cancelling | 01:45 |
| dunizen | What have you done since you started your computer> | 01:45 |
| badabing | lol | 01:46 |
| badabing | just tried to update | 01:46 |
| badabing | suE: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) | 01:46 |
| badabing | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 01:46 |
| Pastafarian | apt-get will be locked if it's auto updating, software center is doing something etc... | 01:46 |
| Pastafarian | wait for it to finish what it is doing | 01:46 |
| wilee-nilee | badabing, You have what open right now? | 01:47 |
| smaudet | badabing: check what windows you have open, any icons that say 'updating' | 01:47 |
| badabing | just my term | 01:47 |
| smaudet | badabing: any tabs? | 01:47 |
| badabing | no idea why its locked | 01:47 |
| badabing | nope | 01:47 |
| Pastafarian | badabing, read what I just said | 01:47 |
| wilee-nilee | badabing, meaning the terminal with a update command? | 01:47 |
| Pastafarian | something is probably updating | 01:47 |
| fudus | open gnome system monitor and look for dpkg | 01:47 |
| Pastafarian | ^ | 01:47 |
| badabing | aptd is running | 01:47 |
| badabing | i tried to kill it | 01:47 |
| badabing | but it wouldnt die | 01:47 |
| Pastafarian | yeah, sorry dave, I can't let you do that | 01:48 |
| Pastafarian | wait for it to finish | 01:48 |
| Pastafarian | or reboot if it won't stop | 01:48 |
| badabing | i did reboot | 01:48 |
| wilee-nilee | badabing, try these two commands. sudo dpkg --configure -a then sudo apt-get -f install | 01:49 |
| smaudet | badabing: or try running ps ax | grep dpkg | 01:50 |
| badabing | nice | 01:50 |
| badabing | will try | 01:50 |
| Pastafarian | it sounds like your system is still doing something | 01:50 |
| smaudet | and seeing what dpkg's come up | 01:50 |
| badabing | nope | 01:50 |
| badabing | its really really locked | 01:50 |
| smaudet | lol ok | 01:51 |
| badabing | i looked in system monitor | 01:51 |
| badabing | cant find anything apt, software center, dpkg | 01:51 |
| fudus | are you in all users mode? | 01:51 |
| fudus | all processes* | 01:51 |
| badabing | dunno | 01:51 |
| usr13 | badabing: ps aux | grep apt | 01:51 |
| fudus | it defaults to your current user, and dpkg would be in root | 01:51 |
| wilee-nilee | badabing, Hard to say, but if you have the software center open you can't run a update from the terminal or if synaptic is open in the other two I just mentined. | 01:52 |
| badabing | root 2036 0.0 1.2 35132 6256 ? SNl 18:24 0:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/sbin/aptd | 01:52 |

| badabing | ? | 01:52 |
| smaudet | Here's a better question (and one I don't know), what command lists the process that has a lock? | 01:52 |
| smaudet | I tried lsof but that doesn't actually 'access' the file I don't think | 01:52 |
| smaudet | different sort of lock | 01:53 |
| usr13 | badabing: kill 2036 | 01:53 |
| badabing | nope | 01:53 |
| badabing | still locked | 01:53 |
| badabing | lol | 01:53 |
| smaudet | badabing: sudo kill -kill 2036 | 01:54 |
| usr13 | badabing: sudo kill -9 2036 | 01:54 |
| Anti | Guys thx for all your help I've managed to fix the problem and the system working great | 01:54 |
| Adie | My little sister loves to eat my cunt | 01:54 |
| badabing | YEAH!!!! | 01:54 |
| badabing | i tried the -9 first | 01:54 |
| badabing | worked | 01:54 |
| smaudet | badabing: does the same thing | 01:54 |
| smaudet | -9 is short for '-kill' | 01:55 |
| badabing | hrmmm | 01:55 |
| badabing | well now its trying to ocmplete its update | 01:55 |
| badabing | upgrade* | 01:55 |
| usr13 | badabing: sudo apt-get update | 01:55 |
| usr13 | badabing: You probably shouldn't have killed the process, probably should have let it finish. | 01:56 |
| usr13 | badabing: But you can probably fix it. | 01:56 |
| badabing | usr13: its trying to install kernel images | 01:56 |
| smaudet | usr13, badabing, sure with enough invocations of apt-get ;) | 01:56 |
| badabing | but its taking forevvvver | 01:56 |
| smaudet | badabing: because it does take forever | 01:56 |
| usr13 | badabing: Let it finish | 01:56 |
| badabing | run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub 3.2.0-53-generic /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-53-generic | 01:57 |
| badabing | stuck here... | 01:57 |
| smaudet | badabing: you should probably install the kernel images again, after this | 01:57 |
| badabing | but i see hard drive activity | 01:57 |
| badabing | not sure what to do -.- | 01:57 |
| kebomix | hello i have a problem what i have been searching for a solution the last few hours, i'm connected on 3g network, when i connect to vpn through vpn, i have no internet looks like ubuntu doesn't tunnel the traffic through the vpn here is my routing table http://pastebin.com/C6rb4TL4 | 01:57 |
| smaudet | badabing: if the process isn't doing much but its using the hard drive, you can always verify with sudo iotop | 01:57 |
| usr13 | patience is a virtue | 01:58 |
| smaudet | badabing: just wait, if you kill it there's a good chance you'll mess up your system royally | 01:58 |
| badabing | error: cannot read from `/dev/sda'. | 01:58 |
| badabing | what does this mean? | 01:58 |
| smaudet | badabing: already I'd suggest installing the kernel updates again just to be safe | 01:58 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | /msg NickServ identify jl.MP4 | 01:58 |
| badabing | hrmmm | 01:58 |
| smaudet | badabing: it takes a long time because there's a lot to do when installing a new kernel | 01:58 |
| smaudet | just be patient | 01:59 |
| badabing | it just keeps saying error: cannot read from `/dev/sda'. | 01:59 |
| badabing | i should wait? | 01:59 |
| jvava7 | hi | 01:59 |
| smaudet | badabing: it was probably downloading something and the process we killed earlier can not read from the file you didn't finish downloading | 01:59 |
| smaudet | my best guess | 01:59 |
| badabing | lol | 01:59 |
| badabing | makes sense | 01:59 |
| usr13 | badabing: What can't read from sda? | 02:00 |

| jvava7 | ok, wilee, | 02:01 |
| somsip | !alis | kebomix | 02:01 |
| ubottu | kebomix: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 02:01 |
| usr13 | jvava7: Here is the way it works; You ask a [Ubuntu related] question, if anyone knows something about your issue, they will give you advise. | 02:02 |
| wilee-nilee | jvava7, You can tab complete nicks, then the other user is actually notified you are addressing them | 02:02 |
| badabing | great | 02:02 |
| badabing | i cant even exit the process | 02:02 |
| usr13 | badabing: What process? | 02:02 |
| badabing | im just trying to get flash support | 02:03 |
| smaudet | wilee-nilee, huh never knew that | 02:03 |
| smaudet | neat | 02:03 |
| badabing | can anyone suggest a package ? | 02:03 |
| smaudet | I always typed them all out >_> | 02:03 |
| usr13 | badabing: you have to let the package management system run it's course. | 02:03 |
| badabing | im freaking out man | 02:03 |
| jvava7 | command semantic-analyze-proto-impl-toggle does not work, hint is 'could not find suitable implementation' | 02:03 |

| badabing | but when i try flash it directs me to the flash update link on adobe | 02:04 |
| Dr_Willis | jvava7: whats happening to th other half? | 02:04 |
| usr13 | badabing: Are you 32bit or 64? | 02:04 |
| Dr_Willis | blarget2_: with what irc client? most have a nick list at the side | 02:04 |

| badabing | it worked yesterday | 02:04 |
| blarget2_ | yeah | 02:04 |
| badabing | now it doesnt work today | 02:04 |
| blarget2_ | this has a nick list in a seperate window | 02:05 |
| blarget2_ | its xchat gnome i believe | 02:05 |
| jvava7 | Dr Willis, the other half lost | 02:05 |

| blarget2_ | the seperate window is a bit anoying | 02:05 |
| badabing | looks good usr13 | 02:05 |
| badabing | thanks | 02:05 |
| Dr_Willis | blarget2_: most people perfer xchat to xchat-gnome. everyone seems to hate xchat-gnome | 02:05 |
| usr13 | badabing: Untar the file | 02:05 |
| smaudet | blarget2_: just use normal xchat | 02:05 |
| jvava7 | strictly, less than half, only some words of my message lost | 02:05 |
| smaudet | none of that gnome stuff | 02:05 |
| blarget2_ | doesnt xchat cost money? | 02:05 |
| fudus | only the windows version | 02:05 |
| smaudet | ...well I certainly didn't pay for it | 02:05 |
| blarget2_ | ahh | 02:05 |
| blarget2_ | ok so | 02:05 |
| blarget2_ | how do i uninstall this crap | 02:05 |
| * smaudet double checks license | 02:05 | |
| Dr_Willis | blarget2_: not on linux. ;) | 02:06 |
| Dr_Willis | blarget2_: and thats only a special case on windows. | 02:06 |
| Dr_Willis | theres xchat alternatives on windows that are free | 02:06 |
| usr13 | badabing: cd Downloads/ ; tar xvf install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz | 02:06 |
| blarget2_ | yes | 02:06 |
| fudus | i take the easier option and install chrome | 02:06 |
| blarget2_ | i use one | 02:06 |
| fudus | with flash :P | 02:06 |
| Dr_Willis | even the normal xchat is free i belive on windows. he just askjs for a donation i think | 02:06 |
| blarget2_ | called xchat wdk | 02:06 |
| blarget2_ | its good | 02:06 |
| blarget2_ | so... how do i uninstall | 02:06 |
| futurepardon | greetings all. i did an install of xubuntu 13.04, and ran updates. today, the update manager (gui) shows the 'Updates Available' icon, and when i click it it says (grayed out) 9 updates are available. However when i click 'show updates', that box opens and says 'Your System is Up to Date'. I am wondering if this is something im dumbly missing, as this is first time in awhile i've run ubuntu, I've been running a semi-rolling debian spin for awhile | 02:07 |
| futurepardon | . thank you in advance to anyone that may know about this. | 02:07 |
| blarget2_ | still learning the gui of ubuntu | 02:07 |
| fudus | the official build is shareware, there are unofficial builds in win for 0cost | 02:07 |

| blarget2_ | hmm | 02:07 |
| blarget2_ | ok | 02:07 |
| fudus | futurepardon, i went to terminal and did a apt-get upgrade to get rid of those messages | 02:07 |
| blarget2_ | ubottu, | 02:07 |

| FloodBot1 | blarget2_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:07 |
| Dr_Willis | blarget2_: thers no real need to worry about uninstalling xchat-gnome to install xchat. | 02:07 |

| badabing | usr13: great | 02:08 |
| usr13 | badabing: The filename is probably libflashplayer.so Right? | 02:09 |
| fudus | i think it has to do with the new phased updates thing: it sees a list of upgradeable items, but the comp isn't in the phase so it popups the "system up to date" message | 02:09 |
| usr13 | badabing: sudo mv libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ #Right? If so, just restart firefox and you're done. | 02:10 |

| usr13 | *phony* | 02:12 |
| badabing | i guess so :( | 02:12 |
| fudus | what is the url you're trying to load | 02:13 |
| futurepardon | fudus, it did indeed grab the 9 upgrades and my system update icon has gone back to sleep. thank you very much. i did apt update earlier, but did not to the apt upgrade afterwards. i should have thought of that ^ ^ | 02:13 |
| usr13 | badabing: See there? You get all in a wad over nothing. | 02:13 |
| Impossible | guys how do i install gtk-devel and glib-devel | 02:13 |
| smaudet | I think there needs to be a #howToUseTheInternet irc chat... | 02:13 |
| badabing | it works over proxy | 02:13 |
| badabing | so i thought it was on my end :( | 02:13 |
| smaudet | badabing: proxy could be blocking whatever is making those 'errors' | 02:14 |
| badabing | true | 02:14 |
| badabing | well you are probably right on all accounts smaudet | 02:14 |
| badabing | thanks for your effort usr13 | 02:14 |
| futurepardon | i have LMDE64 on another set of partitions, the last set of updates busted my print drivers, and i was unable to make it better, some file in debian testing on 64 is corrupt, even with rolling it back and other changes, never could get it to print.. the xubuntu on a quad-core is instantaneous in responsiveness ^ ^ been years since i used xfce, i might could get used to this | 02:15 |
| badabing | it says base64 + strip meta checkboxes | 02:16 |
| badabing | is it possible to do that in a browser? | 02:16 |
| badabing | to mimick the behavior of the proxy | 02:16 |
| smaudet | badabing: ask in #firefox, I've never heard of anything like that | 02:16 |
| smaudet | sounds like nonsense | 02:16 |
| badabing | right | 02:17 |
| smaudet | or #chrome if that's what you're using | 02:17 |
| badabing | best idea tbh | 02:17 |

| Pastafarian | what's he trying to do? | 02:17 |
| Pastafarian | pretend to be a proxy? | 02:17 |
| futurepardon | fudus, thank u again. signing out. take care everyone, have a great night/day. | 02:17 |
| smaudet | Pastafarian: whatever it is its not #ubuntu | 02:18 |
| smaudet | usr13 helped him with his flash problem | 02:18 |
| fudus | apparently intel xorg team doesn't want to support xmir. another company against canonical :P | 02:19 |
| badabing | hrmm | 02:19 |
| badabing | is there a flash channel? | 02:19 |
| Dr_Willis | !alis | 02:19 |
| ubottu | alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 02:19 |
| fudus | try a youtube video to see if flash works first | 02:19 |
| reisio | badabing: for what? :) | 02:19 |
| Fezzler | What verision of Ubuntu will run on a AMD K6 266? | 02:19 |
| badabing | webdev broke the site im trying to browse | 02:20 |
| reisio | badabing: which site? | 02:20 |
| reisio | Fezzler: i386 | 02:20 |
| fudus | Fezzler, none because i doubt it has the 768 of ram ;) | 02:20 |
| reisio | i386 lubuntu if you can manage it, in that case | 02:21 |
| Fezzler | Pentium class | 02:21 |
| Fezzler | Yes, has 2 meg ram | 02:21 |
| reisio | heh | 02:22 |
| reisio | I wouldn't even bother with Ubuntu then | 02:22 |
| reisio | try Debian stable without a DE | 02:22 |
| reisio | probably without even X | 02:22 |
| Fezzler | Lightweight Desktop Environment maybe? | 02:24 |
| Wiseau | is it possible to configure xorg to use the edid broadcast from one monitor in a multi-monitor setup but specify information for the other monitor? | 02:25 |
| Wiseau | i'm trying to set up a multi-monitor configuration and one of my monitors is a korean 27" so the edid is no good | 02:26 |
| Wiseau | but when i disable edid in xorg.conf the other monitor won't go above 800x600 | 02:26 |

| Tekno | Hi I mounted an lvm volume to the live disk and theres nothing on it yet someone told me there was data on it all I see is one volume | 02:38 |
| Tekno | And a folder called lost+found | 02:38 |
| Tekno | Any one have a suggestion as to could the data be locked some how so I cant see it | 02:39 |
| usr13 | Tekno: Surely there are others. Right? | 02:40 |
| usr13 | Tekno: "an lvm volume to the live disk"? | 02:40 |
| Tekno | I have the ubuntu live disk loaded off cd | 02:41 |
| usr13 | Tekno: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit #Send us the URL and we'll have a look. | 02:41 |
| Tekno | And then mounted the lvm | 02:41 |
| usr13 | Tekno: What is your end goal? | 02:42 |
| sam113101 | does ubuntu use plymouth? | 02:42 |
| Tekno | To dump the data off the lvm so I can format the drives to zfs | 02:42 |
| usr13 | Tekno: What data? From what partition? | 02:43 |
| usr13 | Tekno: mount #What does that say? | 02:43 |
| beejun | mint is awesome | 02:43 |
| usr13 | Tekno: "dump the data" ? | 02:44 |
| RTygart | I have an older laptop, Kubuntu was a little much for it but it worked. Now I am giving it away and I want it to run as smooth as possible, I am thinking Xubuntu or Lubuntu. Suggestions? | 02:44 |
| usr13 | beejun: We're glad you like it. | 02:44 |
| usr13 | beejun: ... but this is #ubuntu | 02:44 |
| beejun | :) | 02:44 |
| PantheraRazorK | :) | 02:45 |
| wilee-nilee | RTygart, That is a personal opinion try both and decide. | 02:45 |
| antz | ^ | 02:45 |
| RTygart | wilee-nilee: I am more talking about what is lighter. | 02:45 |
| antz | in terms of... | 02:45 |
| RTygart | I want a light weight, less bells and whistles the better. | 02:46 |
| wilee-nilee | RTygart, lubuntu is the lighter of the two but needs more configuring without a gui | 02:46 |
| usr13 | RTygart: lubuntu is lightest, followed by xubuntu | 02:46 |
| Tekno | Http://pastebin.com/CLMzVyTy | 02:47 |
| antz | lubuntu seems to be much lighter | 02:47 |
| rtorres | alguien me puede enseñar a instalar php4 en ubuntu 12.04 | 02:47 |
| RTygart | I will try for xubuntu. Thanks | 02:47 |
| Tekno | Hmm says lvm doesnt contain a valid partion | 02:47 |
| wilee-nilee | !es | rtorres | 02:48 |
| ubottu | rtorres: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 02:48 |
| wagle | is there a meta (?) package for installing the entirety of the 32-bit support on a 64-bit 12.04 system? I'm not finding one | 02:48 |
| usr13 | Tekno: So, which partition do you want do "dump data" from? sda1? And dump it to _______________? | 02:48 |
| usr13 | Tekno: mount | pastebinit #Let's see what you have mounted so far. | 02:48 |
| wilee-nilee | wagle, what is the end goal here that has you asking this? | 02:49 |
| wagle | wilee-nilee: run 32 bit binaries | 02:49 |
| fudus | ia32-libs | 02:49 |
| Tekno | The lvm that its saying doesnt contain a valid partition table to the othe r 1tib drive | 02:49 |
| iUnify | Hey guys, does anyone know Alacarte Main Menu? I've installed - it is supposed to be a GNOME menu editor - but nothing changes when I make edits. GNOME menu would be the bar at the top of the screen? Can anyone help me with this? I'm thinking its a simple fix. | 02:49 |
| wilee-nilee | wagle, It does already I believe | 02:50 |
| smaudet | I've fixed this before, however the fix regressed - does anyone know how to get multi-touch working with synaptics touchpads? | 02:50 |
| wilee-nilee | multiarch | 02:50 |
| smaudet | I used to be able to do two/three finger right click | 02:50 |
| badabing | hello again | 02:50 |
| fudus | iUnify, you need to delete the item to get it disappear from the launcher, just dechecking doesn't work | 02:50 |
| badabing | trying to run apt and get this | 02:50 |
| badabing | error: cannot read from `/dev/sda' | 02:50 |
| badabing | even though the harddrive is dev/sdb | 02:50 |
| badabing | what is going on here? | 02:50 |
| wagle | wilee-nilee: nope, i tried | 02:51 |
| iUnify | I see no changes anywhere. I've ADDED an item though. | 02:51 |
| wagle | ia32-libs seems to be it, I'll see | 02:51 |
| smaudet | badabing: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && df -h | pastebinit | 02:51 |
| wilee-nilee | wagle, was it a ubuntu binary? | 02:51 |
| smaudet | give me the url | 02:51 |
| iUnify | GNOME menu is the top menu? | 02:51 |
| wagle | wilee-nilee: no | 02:51 |
| badabing | i cant install anything right now | 02:51 |
| smaudet | badabing: ok | 02:51 |
| smaudet | you have a web-browser though yes? | 02:51 |
| badabing | yes | 02:52 |
| smaudet | df -h <-> copy paste the output into pastebin, paste the url | 02:52 |
| wilee-nilee | wagle, That may be the problem, not the 32 bit capability, just saying. | 02:52 |
| usr13 | Tekno: sda1? sdc1? __________? | 02:53 |
| badabing | http://pastebin.com/5YYxg8w1 | 02:53 |
| usr13 | Tekno: What is it you want to do exactly? | 02:53 |
| badabing | /dev/sdb was a data drive i used to use | 02:53 |
| badabing | usb | 02:53 |
| Tekno | Http://pastebin.com/gv6TdsgJ | 02:53 |
| badabing | when i try to connect it ubuntu says an operation is still in progress | 02:53 |
| badabing | dunno | 02:53 |
| wagle | wilee-nilee: out of the box, 12.04/amd64 doesnt support ia32 binaries, traditionally you've had to install the 32 bit support, which I seem to be doing right now | 02:54 |
| smaudet | badabing: try df -a -h | 02:54 |
| smaudet | you have an /dev/sda, don't know why its not showing | 02:54 |
| wilee-nilee | wagle, I thought it did, but I never have to mess around in that way. | 02:54 |
| usr13 | Tekno: I see that you have /dev/sdb1 mounted on /media/ubuntu/New Volume | 02:55 |
| fudus | ia32-libs | 02:55 |
| badabing | http://pastebin.com/pYYueegr | 02:55 |
| Tekno | Yes | 02:55 |
| smaudet | usr13: its his /dev/sda drive which is complaining again | 02:55 |
| fudus | is the package name for 32bit | 02:55 |
| badabing | not sure why apt-get is trying to read from /dev/sdb | 02:55 |
| smaudet | usr13: the one that started complaining during the kernel install | 02:55 |
| badabing | sda* | 02:55 |
| usr13 | smaudet: What is he needing to do? | 02:56 |
| badabing | magic | 02:56 |
| Tekno | Usr13 yes want to dump the lvm data thwre | 02:56 |
| smaudet | usr13: get rid fo the error and be able to install again | 02:56 |
| badabing | yes | 02:56 |
| iUnify | Does anyone know Alacarte Main Menu? My new addations do not appear. ALSO though, I notice I don't see any of the ones they list as default either... meaning, Applications... I do not see "Applications" on the GNOME menu when at my desktop.... I am confused here.... | 02:56 |
| usr13 | Tekno: just delete the partition | 02:57 |
| smaudet | badabing: one thought, do you have an external drive did you say? | 02:57 |
| badabing | yes | 02:57 |
| badabing | that is what the OS is running on | 02:57 |
| smaudet | badabing: try plugging it back in | 02:57 |
| usr13 | smaudet: He needs to just delete the partition? Right? | 02:57 |
| smaudet | ... | 02:57 |
| badabing | yes | 02:57 |
| badabing | the partition is old | 02:57 |
| smaudet | you unplugged the external drive that your operating system was running from? | 02:57 |
| smaudet | XD | 02:57 |
| badabing | from data drive | 02:57 |
| badabing | no | 02:57 |
| badabing | its plugged in | 02:57 |
| badabing | just not sure why apt-get is trying to read dfrom sda | 02:58 |
| usr13 | Tekno: Do you want to just delete sda1? | 02:58 |
| wagle | it executes now.. i seem to be missing libraries | 02:58 |
| smaudet | Ok. Let me get this straight. You have /dev/sda which is an external drive, which is no longer plugged in | 02:58 |
| iUnify | fudus: any idea why I don't see any of the default menus they say are there? Top bar, GOME menu? When at desktop? | 02:58 |
| usr13 | Tekno: I really don't know what you are doing, (or wanting to do). | 02:58 |
| badabing | ye | 02:58 |
| badabing | yes | 02:58 |
| badabing | smaudet: | 02:58 |
| smaudet | And you have a /dev/sdb which is where your OS is | 02:58 |
| badabing | yes | 02:58 |
| FloodBot1 | badabing: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:58 |
| smaudet | badabing: just plug your external back in: usually /dev/sda is the drive used first, so I'd wager apt-get downloaded to that drive | 02:59 |
| fudus | winkey-a, filter results | 02:59 |
| fudus | you'll get the oldgnome list of applications in that filter list | 02:59 |
| usr13 | Tekno: If you want to delete it, you'll need to un-mount it first. | 02:59 |
| fudus | under type | 03:00 |
| smaudet | let me know if that fixes the issue | 03:00 |
| iUnify | fudus: what am I supposed to do here then... delete everything? I don't understand.... | 03:01 |
| Tekno | Usr13 by dump I mean copy | 03:01 |
| iUnify | Also my new entries I dont see them.. | 03:01 |
| Tekno | Not delete | 03:01 |
| fudus | what do you want to do? i thought you wanted to see a list of applications | 03:01 |
| smaudet | I don't know enough about the filesystem to say why your external is /dev/sda and not /dev/sdb, you'd have to ask someone else why its backwards. | 03:01 |
| Tekno | The issue though is I dont see any data there on the kvm | 03:02 |
| Tekno | Lvm | 03:02 |
| fudus | if you mean the menu editor, click the item and use "delete" button | 03:02 |
| usr13 | Tekno: You mean sda1? | 03:02 |
| smaudet | Tekno, badabing: you aren't the same user, right? there are multiple people talking about drives, just want to make sure I'm not ignoring half the conversation | 03:02 |
| usr13 | Tekno: If so, ls /media/ubuntu/New\ Volume/ | 03:03 |
| badabing | smaudet: | 03:03 |
| badabing | it says operation pending | 03:03 |
| badabing | cannot access | 03:03 |
| badabing | :( | 03:03 |
| badabing | i cant even read my data on it | 03:03 |
| FloodBot1 | badabing: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:03 |
| smaudet | badabing: is apt-get still running? | 03:03 |
| badabing | yes | 03:03 |
| smaudet | badabing: Ctrl+C in the term window | 03:03 |
| badabing | Generating grub.cfg ... | 03:04 |
| badabing | error: cannot read from `/dev/sda'. | 03:04 |
| Tekno | Usr13 the new volumn is the drive I want to copy the data to from the lvm | 03:04 |
| smaudet | yeah your apt-get operation sounds shot | 03:04 |
| smaudet | lets try again | 03:04 |
| badabing | Errors were encountered while processing: linux-image-3.2.0-53-generic | 03:04 |
| smaudet | Yes. | 03:04 |
| smaudet | We know | 03:04 |
| badabing | lol | 03:04 |
| badabing | k | 03:04 |
| Tekno | Smaudet nope two diff peeps | 03:04 |
| usr13 | Tekno: There are two lvm's there, one is sda1 the other is sdc1. | 03:05 |
| wagle | aww bummerz, it looks like I cant run my ancient linux game on 12.04.. 8/ | 03:05 |
| iUnify | Fudus: yes i want to edit... but not delete, add.... the issue is I do not see what I am adding NOR do I see what is listed as already there... I am looking from my desktop, the top menu that says ubuntu: file, edit, view, go, help.... it doesnt say applications or anything | 03:05 |
| smaudet | badabing: sudo apt-get autoclean | 03:05 |
| usr13 | Tekno: So again; Is it sda1? | 03:05 |
| badabing | ok | 03:05 |
| badabing | smaudet: it did a lot | 03:05 |
| fudus | iUnify, can't help then, sorry | 03:05 |
| smaudet | badabing: sudo apt-get clean | 03:05 |
| Tekno | Wouldnt those be the two drives that show up as one lvm | 03:05 |
| usr13 | Tekno: Is it sdc1? | 03:05 |
| badabing | ok | 03:06 |
| smaudet | badabing: yup just cleaning up mistakes :) | 03:06 |
| iUnify | fudus: is where I am explaing where the changes are supposed to be made? | 03:06 |
| jvava7 | hi | 03:06 |
| smaudet | badabing: sudo apt-get update | 03:06 |
| badabing | oh my | 03:06 |
| badabing | it actually worked | 03:06 |
| usr13 | Tekno: ls /media/ubuntu/New\ Volume/ #What does that say? | 03:06 |
| jvava7 | badcolor | 03:07 |
| badabing | im heading into safer waters | 03:07 |
| badabing | lol | 03:07 |

| smaudet | sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-image-3.2.0-53-generic | 03:07 |
| Tekno | Usr15 theres 5 drives in this machine and I dont know which is which just that I dont wqnt to loose the data on the lvm volumes | 03:07 |
| smaudet | and don't freak out if there are errors | 03:07 |
| fudus | iUnify, you're not getting access/games/graphics on the tree to the left? | 03:07 |
| fudus | all i used menu editor is to delete some items, so i don't know how to edit them | 03:08 |
| usr13 | Tekno: What does ls /media/ubuntu/New\ Volume/ say? | 03:08 |
| badabing | oky doky | 03:08 |
| badabing | its running again smaudet | 03:08 |
| iUnify | fudus: my question is WHERE do I see the changes of what I have deleted. | 03:08 |
| Tekno | Usr13 that new volume I just put in there has a recyclebin foldr on it from its prior system | 03:08 |
| iUnify | It says it is to edit GNOME menu | 03:08 |
| iUnify | Where is GNOME menu? | 03:08 |
| badabing | back at update-initramfs: | 03:08 |
| smaudet | badabing: Ok, good, if its downloading etc it may take a while | 03:08 |
| KWhat4 | Hi, What is the current stable version of glibc that ships with ubuntu? | 03:08 |
| usr13 | Tekno: Sorry, I can't help you. | 03:08 |
| smaudet | badabing: yeah that just takes a bit | 03:08 |
| iUnify | I do not see "applications" in GNOME menu, I see it in the program Alacarte Main Menu | 03:09 |
| smaudet | badabing: unless you have a really fast SSD (which it doesn't sound like), you can expect it to take 10-20 minute easy | 03:09 |
| smaudet | I'd worry if it takes an hour or longer though | 03:09 |
| badabing | sooooo sloowwwwww | 03:09 |
| iUnify | fudus: also, ls /media/ubuntu/New\ Volume/ | 03:09 |
| badabing | yeah | 03:09 |
| smaudet | !patience | 03:10 |
| ubottu | Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ | 03:10 |
| fudus | its the dash, like you do winkey+gedit and get a text editor icon, if you deleted it in main menu it won't appear when you do winkey+gedit | 03:10 |
| badabing | i think its working | 03:10 |
| badabing | though | 03:10 |
| smaudet | :) | 03:10 |

| badabing | nope | 03:17 |
| smaudet | ok, well then you'll want to uninstall the prior kernels to the one you're running right now | 03:17 |
| smaudet | uname -r tells you which kernel you are running | 03:17 |
| smaudet | 3.2.0-52-generic | 03:17 |
| badabing | ok | 03:17 |
| smaudet | you want to sudo apt-get remove linux-image-3.2.048.74 e.g. | 03:17 |
| jvava7 | wilee-nilee, but there no one answer my problem, whole silent | 03:17 |
| smaudet | badabing: and you'll want to do that for all the kernel versions listed in that pastebin you sent me, which AREN'T your current kernel, and ARE installed (ii) | 03:18 |
| smaudet | badabing: get busy typing | 03:18 |
| smaudet | ;) | 03:18 |
| wilee-nilee | jvava7, Then either you are not giving enough details, or no one knows, stating you have a question dose neither | 03:18 |

| antz | you just run it | 03:22 |
| smaudet | I might be able to make your life easier | 03:22 |

| Kalel | didn't* | 03:36 |
| Kalel | What shoud I do now? | 03:36 |
| wilee-nilee | Kalel, usb standard mouse? | 03:36 |
| Kalel | wilee-nilee: No. Laptop's mouse - touchpad | 03:36 |
| smaudet | badabing: dpkg -l linux-image-3.2.0-53-generic - just tell me if it says (ii) or (un) next to the package | 03:36 |
| smaudet | Or neither | 03:36 |
| Kalel | stay frozed in the centre of the csreen. | 03:37 |
| badabing | pH | 03:37 |
| smaudet | We want it to say (un) | 03:37 |

| Kalel | I'm now in another system, installed in dual. "suse'.. Works perfecly. | 03:37 |
| wilee-nilee | Kalel, Do you know the unlock on it if there is one, It seems to have worked in last 13.04 is this right? | 03:38 |
| Kalel | Right. Was unlocked, wilee-nileee. | 03:38 |
| smaudet | badabing: and sudo dpkg --configure -a still complains too? | 03:38 |
| badabing | im sure | 03:38 |
| badabing | we havent changed anything | 03:38 |
| smaudet | Not you're sure, try it - we don't know that we haven't changed anything - and you have actually | 03:39 |
| smaudet | that package was iF previously | 03:39 |
| smaudet | now its pH | 03:39 |
| badabing | ok smaudet | 03:39 |
| badabing | cheers | 03:39 |
| heayeyaeyyeayaey | Sound does not work if I just load ubuntu. If i load Windows XP then restart then load ubuntu it loads but volume is reset to about 70. If I use alsamixer when sound doesnt work it only shows "Beep". Ubuntu and Lubuntu 13.04 | 03:39 |
| wilee-nilee | Kalel, If it were me I would look on the web for info on that computer and the pad, and if it worked before consider maybe a bad install, and try again, since it takes a short time, and check the iso sum if doing so. | 03:40 |
| badabing | http://pastebin.com/q9nre7Cf | 03:40 |
| Kalel | heayeyaeyyeayaey: Did you tried select the ranother, if available, card in the sound configuration? | 03:40 |
| Kalel | *another | 03:40 |
| heayeyaeyyeayaey | Kalel: ? | 03:40 |
| smaudet | ok, that's progress | 03:41 |
| heayeyaeyyeayaey | Kalel: oh | 03:41 |
| heayeyaeyyeayaey | Kalel: yes didnt work | 03:41 |
| heayeyaeyyeayaey | Kalel: i remember when i trie | 03:41 |
| badabing | i guess you were right | 03:41 |
| heayeyaeyyeayaey | d | 03:41 |
| Kalel | heayeyaeyyeayaey: If there is another card, you can select it. 'stereo', Dolby surround 4.1, etc.. If you're sure isn't a hardware problem, I suggest you have a look on ask ubuntu for more detailable answeres questions. | 03:44 |
| Dr_Willis | ive seen weird sound cards in the past that would if i directly booted to linux. If i booted to windows first then to linux. they dident work. guess the reverse could happen also. ;) | 03:44 |
| Kalel | wilee-nilee: Figuredout something? | 03:44 |
| smaudet | badabing: I'm still here, just trying to figure out which package needs uninstalling next ;) | 03:45 |
| badabing | smaudet: sure | 03:45 |
| badabing | apt-get update runs through again | 03:45 |
| smaudet | yeah that's fine | 03:45 |

| smaudet | badabing: go ahead and sudo dpkg -P linux-image && sudo dpkg -P linux-image-generic | 03:47 |
| smaudet | I don't seem to have them installed, and I'm running fine | 03:48 |
| heayeyaeyyeayaey | NO | 03:48 |
| blarget_ubuntu | I have installed 12.04 lts and i realised that it steam doesnt like 12.04 lts because its missing libc files because of bad drivers. The driver installer for 12.04 is not there anymore so now i have had to download the 13.04 iso to do an iso upgrade from within 12.04 just for steam.... fun | 03:48 |
| blarget_ubuntu | should have saw this coming | 03:48 |
| heayeyaeyyeayaey | optimusprimem: hello WORLD284 | 03:49 |
| blarget_ubuntu | unless someone has a solution for running steam under 12.04 lts | 03:49 |
| heayeyaeyyeayaey | heayeyaeyyeayaey: NOPE | 03:49 |
| blarget_ubuntu | are you a bot? | 03:49 |
| blarget_ubuntu | :/ | 03:49 |
| smaudet | blarget_ubuntu: seems to work for me, I'll let you know more | 03:50 |

| smaudet | don't worry | 03:51 |
| smaudet | and I'm not sure those /dev/sda errors mean anything | 03:51 |
| adom | is there a way to see the current amount of workspaces/desktops enabled via command-line? | 03:51 |
| smaudet | You may be able to fix it with a reboot, but don't do that until we fix your kernel stuff | 03:51 |
| blarget_ubuntu | SmallR2002, I will wait until you have an answer for me, if not, i will upgrade to 12.04 | 03:51 |

| sepero | iUnify: I think you might need to look up how to adjust unity scopes or lenses | 04:04 |
| blarget_ubuntu | hmmm | 04:04 |

| blarget_ubuntu | smaudet, i dont know what to do then. | 04:04 |
| smaudet | blarget_ubuntu, now if only I can remember my login account | 04:04 |
| vanishing | use pastebin | 04:04 |
| blarget_ubuntu | heh | 04:04 |
| vanishing | well..told him | 04:05 |
| blarget_ubuntu | Ima go install 13.04 anyways. | 04:05 |
| sepero | iUnify: you might be able to just remove the ones for Amazon and Recent | 04:05 |
| iUnify | sepero: howso? | 04:05 |
| iUnify | sepero: I'd like to clean it up a bunch really | 04:05 |
| sepero | iUnify: look up how to adjust unity scopes or lenses. i don't know how. sorry | 04:05 |
| iUnify | ok im on it now | 04:06 |

| Dr_Willis | !addlens | 04:06 |
| Dr_Willis | !noads | 04:06 |
| Dr_Willis | i never can rember the factoid | 04:06 |
| smaudet | badabing: as a last resort we delete those files and keep on deleting files from dpkg until it forgets about its bad package | 04:06 |
| wilee-nilee | !lens | 04:06 |
| badabing | ok | 04:06 |
| badabing | lol | 04:06 |
| Dr_Willis | !adlens | 04:06 |
| ubottu | If you wish not to see "More Suggestions" from places like Amazon in your Ubuntu, simply remove the package unity-lens-shopping, or adjust your Privacy settings as shown here: http://goo.gl/kFO4u . Mark Shuttleworth's blog entry on this is at http://goo.gl/uF7zZ | 04:06 |
| smaudet | badabing: I want to make sure there's not a less hacky way of doing that | 04:06 |
| smaudet | so don't do that yet | 04:06 |
| IamTrying | wilee-nilee, Installed 13.10 http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/saucy-desktop-amd64.iso . But get black screen after grub screen. | 04:07 |
| Dr_Willis | 13.10 gives you much better controll of the lenses | 04:07 |
| vanishing | IamTrying: try nomodeset | 04:07 |
| wilee-nilee | IamTrying, Go to #ubuntu+1 I can help you there. | 04:07 |
| sepero | iUnify: Dr_Willis is talking to you | 04:07 |
| iUnify | :) thx | 04:08 |
| IamTrying | Vanadis, then i do not get 720p resolution for hdmi and vga 1024x768 (same problem i had with 13.04 and kernel 3.11) | 04:08 |
| IamTrying | OK wilee-nilee | 04:08 |
| smaudet | so badabing if I could get another dpkg -l linux-image* so I can see the status of all packages so far | 04:08 |
| iUnify | Dr_Willis: Thanks... 13.10 eh.... ugh..... this stinks... my upgrades have been causing my monitor to turn on and off - can't go past 12.04 - new laptop and all.... | 04:09 |
| Dr_Willis | i would think the older releases with a brand new hardware machine . would be more problematic | 04:09 |
| Dr_Willis | 13.10 so far has been very problem free for me | 04:10 |
| smaudet | Dr_Willis: is 13.10 even out yet though? | 04:10 |
| iUnify | thats what I was saying | 04:10 |
| Dr_Willis | smaudet: its in testing,. the vesion # is the date of release | 04:10 |
| Dr_Willis | 10th month 2013 | 04:10 |
| smaudet | ...you don't recommend 'testing' products to the #ubuntu user channel | 04:10 |
| smaudet | only release stuff | 04:10 |
| smaudet | At least I wouldn't. | 04:11 |
| badabing | hrmmm | 04:11 |
| badabing | i opened software center | 04:11 |
| badabing | its trying to repair it says | 04:11 |
| Dr_Willis | did i say to try it? i dont think so | 04:11 |
| badabing | :s | 04:11 |
| smaudet | badabing, if it can fix it great - I don't have a lot of hope in it though. | 04:11 |
| === xmetal_AFK is now known as xmetal | ||
| smaudet | Generally the higher level tools depend on the lower level ones, and dpkg is as low level as you can go without manually deleting everything yourself | 04:12 |
| wilee-nilee | heh, everyone upgrade to 13.10 NOW | 04:12 |
| badabing | yup | 04:12 |
| badabing | its not going to work | 04:12 |
| badabing | stuck at the sda | 04:12 |
| badabing | im sure | 04:12 |
| smaudet | badabing, if I could get that pastebin of dpkg -l linux-image* again | 04:13 |
| Dr_Willis | wilee-nilee: and file bug reports ! ;) | 04:13 |
| smaudet | Oh I am sure there are PLENTY of bugs in it. | 04:13 |
| smaudet | No thank you sir. ;) | 04:13 |
| Dr_Willis | havent really stumbled upon any so far.. compared to some other releases/disasters | 04:14 |
| badabing | just says no packages found | 04:14 |
| smaudet | badabing, ls /boot, check there is still an linux-image in there | 04:14 |
| smaudet | that dpkg output is bogus, cd ~ | 04:15 |
| smaudet | run it again | 04:15 |
| Dr_Willis | its bad karma to remove all your kernels. ;) | 04:15 |
| vanishing | ^ | 04:15 |
| smaudet | Dr_Willis: quite | 04:15 |
| vanishing | I did that before..lol | 04:15 |
| smaudet | Its also bad karma to stop an update in the middle of kernel update | 04:15 |
| Dr_Willis | the old computer-janitor used to do it also | 04:15 |
| smaudet | what cause badabing's mess | 04:15 |
| badabing | i didnt | 04:15 |
| badabing | it just happened | 04:15 |
| smaudet | well anyways, incredibly unfortunate | 04:16 |
| badabing | hrmm | 04:16 |
| vanishing | dang..thats bad | 04:16 |
| badabing | just a bunch of init | 04:16 |
| badabing | system map | 04:16 |
| smaudet | badabing, can you at least pastebinit so I can see what is in there? | 04:16 |
| smaudet | sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 04:16 |
| smaudet | if it lets you | 04:16 |
| badabing | http://pastebin.com/3BNdtjiR | 04:17 |
| badabing | haaaaaaaalp | 04:17 |
| smaudet | badabing, once we verify that you actually still have a kernel on your hard drive, I'm very tempted to tell you to remove your external storage and reboot the machine - that might fix the /dev/sda problem if it is somehow related. | 04:18 |
| badabing | ok | 04:18 |
| badabing | sure | 04:18 |
| smaudet | badabing, yeah you're fine | 04:18 |
| badabing | im losing steam quick | 04:18 |
| smaudet | you've got many kernels | 04:18 |
| badabing | thanks for all your help | 04:18 |
| IDontHaveANickna | I don't understand. | 04:18 |
| wilee-nilee | I live on the edge only one kernel set always | 04:19 |
| badabing | baller | 04:19 |
| smaudet | wilee-nilee, I keep max 3 around | 04:19 |
| smaudet | wilee-nilee, one old trusted, one current | 04:19 |
| smaudet | wilee-nilee, maybe one experimental | 04:19 |
| xmetal | i usually only have 2 kernels at any time | 04:20 |
| Dr_Willis | somthing old, somthing new, somthing... | 04:21 |
| Dr_Willis | they really should add in a auto-clean out or at least ask.. old kernels fteature | 04:22 |
| smaudet | Yeah | 04:22 |
| Dr_Willis | ive seen guys in here with like 12+ kernels | 04:22 |
| wilee-nilee | in a boot partition to boot | 04:22 |
| smaudet | keeping the boot partition small can help | 04:23 |
| Dr_Willis | i just dont see much point in a seperate /boot/ partion these days either | 04:23 |
| smaudet | its the people that don't have one that end up with tons of kernels installed | 04:23 |
| vanishing | Dr_Willis: I always keep an ubuntu kernel, and a custom built pf kernel | 04:23 |
| badabing | ok | 04:23 |
| badabing | brb | 04:23 |
| xmetal | hmm | 04:23 |
| vanishing | purge the rest | 04:23 |
| xmetal | i am not sure but i think bleachbit can do that | 04:23 |
| smaudet | If you limit yourself to 100-200 MB you can't install more than 3 or 4 anyways | 04:23 |
| Dr_Willis | but they should be the ones that realize they need to clean out old kernels.. if they knew enoguh to make a seperate /boot/ | 04:24 |
| xmetal | true @ Dr | 04:24 |
| Dr_Willis | i keep spare .iso files on my /boot/ ;) and make a grub entry to boot them. that way i can boot a rescue cd really fast ;P | 04:24 |
| smaudet | I think my e-mail just beeped at me O.o | 04:25 |
| wilee-nilee | I keep iso and supergrub on a usb | 04:25 |
| wilee-nilee | iso's | 04:25 |
| smaudet | blarget_ubuntu, well I've logged in | 04:25 |
| smaudet | blarget_ubuntu, any good free steam games I can test with? | 04:26 |
| smaudet | wow, Dota 2 is free to play huh | 04:26 |
| smaudet | and works on linux no less | 04:26 |
| grendal-prime | damn | 04:27 |
| Dr_Willis | i thought tf2 was now free also | 04:27 |
| grendal-prime | i handnt looked at jitsi in a long time | 04:27 |
| grendal-prime | that is straight up badd ass | 04:27 |
| smaudet | yeah it is, does it run on linux? | 04:27 |
| junktext | Yeah, TF2 runs on Linux. | 04:27 |
| grendal-prime | ya it does | 04:27 |
| Dr_Willis | many of the main valve games are on linux steam | 04:27 |
| grendal-prime | oh..two threads there | 04:27 |
| smaudet | well I'm not going to install right no | 04:28 |
| smaudet | now | 04:28 |
| blarget_ubuntu | smaudet, tf2 | 04:28 |
| sysop3231 | running ubuntu 12.10. apache2. vanilla install. created .htaccess file, put in ErrorDocument 400 /var/www/orchestra/error/error.html, and it still displays the default apache message. what am i missing? its not a complicated process, but apparently ubuntu.com, apache.org think that this should be all that i have to do. | 04:28 |
| smaudet | but blarget_ubuntu it looks it works just fine | 04:28 |
| blarget_ubuntu | man | 04:28 |
| blarget_ubuntu | why doesnt mine work | 04:28 |
| blarget_ubuntu | >:( | 04:28 |
| grendal-prime | someone doesn like you? | 04:28 |
| grendal-prime | i mean that is usally the reason for this sort of thing | 04:28 |
| grendal-prime | have you done things that would be considered..."bad" to alot of people. | 04:29 |
| OerHeks | hybrid or ancient GPU? | 04:29 |
| wilee-nilee | it's not the amount but the depth, lol | 04:29 |
| smaudet | blarget_ubuntu, know any SMALL games? i.e. smaller than a Gig? | 04:29 |
| blarget_ubuntu | well it keeps saying i dont have libc, so i looked it up and aparently i have bad drivers, but intel drivers dont exist for 12.04 anymore... | 04:29 |
| smaudet | ? | 04:29 |
| blarget_ubuntu | smaudet .... | 04:29 |
| blarget_ubuntu | hmm | 04:29 |
| blarget_ubuntu | idk | 04:30 |
| grendal-prime | blarget_ubuntu, you running 12.10 and trying to do what. | 04:30 |
| blarget_ubuntu | 12.04 | 04:30 |
| blarget_ubuntu | lts | 04:30 |
| blarget_ubuntu | trying to run steam | 04:30 |
| smaudet | trying to run steam | 04:30 |
| blarget_ubuntu | looked up error, got some crap about bad drivers | 04:30 |
| vubuntor003 | Sorry,I downloaded Ubuntu 13.04 64 bit iso for 3 times,used unetbootin to make a bootable USB but I always get "can not mount /dev/loop0" error | 04:30 |
| blarget_ubuntu | looked up drivers, no install out dated | 04:30 |
| grendal-prime | oops sorry i read that wrong | 04:30 |
| smaudet | blarget_ubuntu, is your graphics card intel? when you say its not supported? | 04:30 |
| Dr_Willis | intel has that 01.org site for newer intel drivers. and theres some updated ppas also | 04:30 |
| wilee-nilee | vubuntor003, You checked the sum of the iso? | 04:30 |
| smaudet | blarget_ubuntu, 'cause I have nvidia | 04:30 |
| jrib | sysop3231: how are you testing this? | 04:31 |
| vubuntor003 | It's matched! | 04:31 |
| blarget_ubuntu | i have intel hd 3000 | 04:31 |
| blarget_ubuntu | horrid low end laptop stuff | 04:31 |
| blarget_ubuntu | still runs tf2 at 60 fps tho | 04:31 |
| wilee-nilee | vubuntor003, Try another usb loader there are many, you loading from what OS? | 04:31 |
| grendal-prime | who was it earlyer going on and on about teamviwer and jitsi? | 04:31 |
| smaudet | blarget_ubuntu, bad drivers are bad drivers, 13.04 isn't going to make a difference if the drivers aren't there | 04:32 |
| vanishing | blarget_ubuntu: its not that bad | 04:32 |
| vanishing | :D | 04:32 |
| sysop3231 | jrib: fyi i added error docs for all errors. restart apache. chown everything correctly. then i just request non-existing page. | 04:32 |
| researcher | how do I know from command line what system version and 32 or 64 bit I have | 04:32 |
| jrib | sysop3231: so what docs are you reading that tell you this should work? | 04:33 |
| grendal-prime | basically I wanted to thank them | 04:33 |
| researcher | !lsb | 04:33 |
| ubottu | The Linux Standard Base, or LSB, is a joint project by several Linux distributions under the organizational structure of The Free Standards Group to standardize the internal structure of Linux-based operating systems. The LSB is based on the POSIX specification, the Single UNIX Specification, and several other open standards, but extends them in certain areas. | 04:33 |
| vubuntor003 | wilee-nilee: I'm using windows for now. It's bootable for Ubuntu 12.04 and older. I have tried another USB drive... | 04:33 |
| sysop3231 | jrib: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/custom-error.html | 04:33 |
| grendal-prime | jitsi has come a long way | 04:33 |
| researcher | !release | 04:33 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 9 months to 5 years. More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases | 04:33 |
| smaudet | grendal-prime, it really has | 04:33 |
| smaudet | grendal-prime, better than skype now :) | 04:33 |
| jrib | sysop3231: seems like path should be relative to your document root? | 04:33 |
| wilee-nilee | researcher, uname -a | 04:34 |
| grendal-prime | im gonna set up xmmp server again | 04:34 |
| Flannel | sysop3231: Do you have AllowOverride properly set? | 04:34 |
| jrib | sysop3231: also did you make sure the vanilla config allows .htaccss to override this? | 04:34 |
| grendal-prime | so i can do the vid chat with all the kidlets and wive and whatnot | 04:34 |
| wilee-nilee | vubuntor003, I would try another usb loader, pendrivelinux has some listed that run in windows | 04:34 |
| grendal-prime | the google interface for that is so damn clunky | 04:34 |
| blarget_ubuntu | smaudet, you dont understand | 04:35 |
| blarget_ubuntu | there IS drivers for 13.04 | 04:35 |
| blarget_ubuntu | there ISNT for 12.04 | 04:35 |
| blarget_ubuntu | that is why ima update | 04:35 |
| grendal-prime | you got to do all this werid stuff to get the vidchat to work...but that jitsi interface looks totally simple.. | 04:35 |
| smaudet | blarget_ubuntu, is there no deb file? | 04:35 |
| blarget_ubuntu | for steam? | 04:35 |
| blarget_ubuntu | oh for the drivers | 04:35 |
| blarget_ubuntu | no | 04:35 |
| smaudet | blarget_ubuntu, speaking of which there is always a deb file where repositories are involved | 04:35 |
| blarget_ubuntu | there isnt | 04:35 |
| grendal-prime | smaudet, have you used it with xmmp server ..like openfire yet? | 04:35 |
| smaudet | grendal-prime, can't say I have | 04:36 |
| grendal-prime | well im gonna look into it tomorro | 04:36 |
| sysop3231 | Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6077685/ | 04:36 |
| sysop3231 | Flannel: yes | 04:36 |
| grendal-prime | i have a very nice virtual environment i just finished up so ill throw a server on there.see how it goes | 04:36 |
| smaudet | blarget_ubuntu, http://askubuntu.com/questions/69695/driver-for-intel-hd-3000-core-i7-2630qm ? | 04:36 |
| Dr_Willis | intel has their video driver instgaller (not via the repos) at the 01.org site that might let you update them | 04:36 |
| sysop3231 | jrib: i have made no modifications to the config. apache/ubuntu did not mention to do this, and did not provide instructions on how to do so. | 04:37 |
| smaudet | blarget_ubuntu, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel ? | 04:37 |
| grendal-prime | by the way..i dont know if any of you have check this out yet but i have been using this prog called palavar. | 04:37 |
| Flannel | sysop3231: Is it allowed in your virtualhost? | 04:37 |
| jrib | sysop3231: the link you just gave us mentions both things... (allowoverride and the expected format for the path) | 04:37 |
| grendal-prime | it does speech recog and uses the google speech server farm ..it is pretty amazing | 04:37 |
| blarget_ubuntu | smaudet, https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/2013/intelr-linux-graphics-installer-version-1.0.2 | 04:37 |
| lijnk-m | I have an issue installing on a machine. After finishing the minimal installation, it boots in and just gives me a blinking cursor. It also won't let me into the BIOS as the screen flashes too quick. | 04:37 |
| blarget_ubuntu | scroll down and look at obsolete drivers | 04:37 |
| Flannel | sysop3231: Because if it's set to none, then htaccess files are ignored completely. | 04:37 |
| researcher | how to know my system release verions if 64 or 32 bit using command line? | 04:38 |
| grendal-prime | kid in bay area wrote this wrapper prog to interact with an ubuntu desktop..you have desktop control mode and dictation mode.. | 04:38 |
| grendal-prime | works great | 04:38 |
| lijnk-m | It does have uefi, but I shut the secureboot off. Just wondering how I can unbrick it | 04:38 |
| smaudet | blarget_ubuntu, yeah but the sources are all there | 04:38 |
| smaudet | you could always compile | 04:38 |
| blarget_ubuntu | i am new to ubuntu | 04:38 |
| blarget_ubuntu | :/ | 04:38 |
| blarget_ubuntu | like brand new | 04:39 |
| jrib | sysop3231: is there a reason you want to use .htaccess instead of modifying the apache configuration? | 04:39 |
| blarget_ubuntu | just installed it | 04:39 |
| smaudet | blarget_ubuntu, anyways it looks like there are already drivers as of april of this year on the launchpad page | 04:39 |
| blarget_ubuntu | which link should i click | 04:39 |
| blarget_ubuntu | or what should i download | 04:39 |
| grendal-prime | blarget_ubuntu, want stuff to play wth... | 04:39 |
| grendal-prime | getdeb | 04:39 |
| smaudet | blarget_ubuntu, precise-pangolin | 04:39 |
| grendal-prime | getdeb.net | 04:39 |
| sysop3231 | jrib: yes. i want this to be a simple installation,.. a drop-in type of site if you will. but apparently, this is not going to happen. | 04:39 |
| researcher | how can I join Virtual box channel? | 04:39 |
| smaudet | and then amd64/i386 depending on if you have a 64 bit or 32 bit ubuntu | 04:40 |
| jrib | sysop3231: I don't understand | 04:40 |
| wilee-nilee | researcher, #vbox | 04:40 |
| researcher | #vbox | 04:40 |
| blarget_ubuntu | xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.17.0.orig.tar.gz? | 04:40 |
| researcher | wilee-nilee: thanks' | 04:40 |
| wilee-nilee | researcher, /j #vbox | 04:40 |
| grendal-prime | research... | 04:40 |
| Flannel | sysop3231: it will. You just need to not disable AllowOverride. | 04:40 |
| grendal-prime | '/join #vbox' | 04:40 |
| grendal-prime | but without the ' | 04:40 |
| smaudet | blarget_ubuntu, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/amd64/xserver-xorg-video-intel/2:2.17.0-1ubuntu4.4 | 04:40 |
| smaudet | if you have 64 bit | 04:40 |
| blarget_ubuntu | i do | 04:41 |
| Flannel | sysop3231: Most "real" webservers allow it, because they need to give their users some control (htaccess), without giving them all control (modifying virtualhosts) | 04:41 |
| smaudet | you can check which version you have already using dpkg -l xserver-xorg-video | 04:41 |
| grendal-prime | researcher, you should probably look at the "howto use irc" via the google first though | 04:41 |
| smaudet | or synaptic if you have that | 04:41 |
| blarget_ubuntu | so just run this | 04:41 |
| blarget_ubuntu | and steam MIGHT work | 04:41 |
| sysop3231 | Flannel: when did i disable "Allow Override"? | 04:41 |
| sysop3231 | Flannel: a vanilla install does this automatically? | 04:42 |
| smaudet | blarget_ubuntu, download the deb file | 04:42 |
| smaudet | run it | 04:42 |
| Flannel | sysop3231: yes. In your virtualhost definition. | 04:42 |
| smaudet | yeah | 04:42 |
| smaudet | it might work | 04:42 |
| smaudet | assuming you don't already have it installed | 04:42 |
| Flannel | sysop3231: check out the contents of /etc/apache2/sites-available/ | 04:42 |
| Flannel | (or sites-enabled, if you prefer, same files) | 04:42 |
| smaudet | that's what the dpkg -l xserver-xorg-video* is for | 04:42 |
| blarget_ubuntu | smaudet, this looks like it wont work | 04:43 |
| blarget_ubuntu | it is erroring | 04:43 |
| vubuntor003 | https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads Do we need to install kernel,mesa,xorg,....? | 04:43 |
| blarget_ubuntu | it wont lat me copy aste the error | 04:43 |
| smaudet | mm yeah so it needs some other packages most likely | 04:43 |
| vubuntor003 | or just the deb one? | 04:43 |
| blarget_ubuntu | explain what i need to do like i am 5 | 04:43 |
| sysop3231 | Flannel: thank you for your help, i feel i am getting somewhere. let me ask you this. | 04:44 |
| sysop3231 | Flannel: On a 100% untouched, vanilla install, how do you set up a custom error page? | 04:44 |
| smaudet | A) find the driver package B) make sure you don't already have it C) install D) if it yells at you, read the error message and find that thing and install it E) When you get tired of doing that, just use apt-get | 04:44 |
| smaudet | Sorry I gotta go, best of luck | 04:45 |
| blarget_ubuntu | :/ | 04:45 |
| blarget_ubuntu | ok | 04:45 |
| sysop3231 | Flannel: because im getting 13 different answers. and none of them have worked, and i assume its because no one is taking me step by step from beginning to end. | 04:45 |
| Syme | Hey all. I was given some bad(malicious) advice, and my entire OS was deleted. I had Ubuntu before, fully replacing the Windows 8 that came with my Acer Aspire 1 laptop. I tried reinstalling Ubuntu from a flash drive, but the HDD security wouldn't let me boot after the restart at the end of installation. In grub, pretty much every command tells me Secure Boot won't allow it. Is there anything I can do? Ubuntu preview loads just fine, an | 04:46 |
| turbulence | Hello | 04:46 |
| turbulence | I had a quick question about versions | 04:46 |
| Syme | he preview, but I doubt it'll work. | 04:47 |
| turbulence | Syme what's that? | 04:47 |
| jrib | turbulence: ask your actual question | 04:47 |
| smaudet | blarget_ubuntu, before I go I will say I have libc >= 2.15 installed, maybe that is your problem. Dunno why they wouldn't install it for you. | 04:47 |
| smaudet | cheers | 04:47 |
| turbulence | Jrib my question is for you actually | 04:47 |
| turbulence | With all the semen you swallow at highway rest stops, do you get to love the flavor over time | 04:48 |
| Flannel | sysop3231: The easy way? Modify the appropriate virtual hosts in sites-available as appropriate and add ErrorDocument directives. If you want to do it with htaccess, then modify those same files to not disable AllowOverride, and then you can go the htaccess route. | 04:48 |
| junktext | So, I need help. I tried using Steam in the LXDE environment and ever since I cannot use Steam at all. Not even in Unity now. I posted my details of my problem here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2171881&p=12782121 | 04:48 |
| turbulence | Lol | 04:48 |
| blarget_ubuntu | damn it, all i want to do is play Steam in ubuntu, and its not making it easy. | 04:49 |
| blarget_ubuntu | :/ | 04:49 |
| Syme | I posted a question in askubuntu, if anyone can help me there. I'm royally screwed. | 04:49 |
| jgk | hello | 04:49 |
| blarget_ubuntu | who else here has a intel hd 3000 and is running ubuntu 12.04 with steam | 04:49 |
| sysop3231 | Flannel: the default AllowOverride directive in the vhost section is None. That is an 'out of the box' setting. What do i have to change that setting to, so that apache pays attention to my .htaccess file? | 04:50 |
| jrib | sysop3231: why don't you just set ErrorDocument in the vhost configuration? | 04:50 |
| Flannel | sysop3231: "All" would work. For now, go with "all", you may wish to allow only a subset later (see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#allowoverride ) | 04:50 |
| Flannel | jrib: he already answered that, he won't always have access to it. | 04:50 |
| Syme | Is there any way to install Ubuntu on a machine with secure boot that has no OS on it? I really need help here. | 04:51 |
| smaudet | can someone else help blarget_ubuntu ? 'sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel' | 04:51 |
| blarget_ubuntu | unmet dependencies | 04:52 |
| blarget_ubuntu | do i install those? | 04:52 |
| blarget_ubuntu | ok installing the xserver one | 04:53 |
| Syme | Anyone? | 04:54 |
| vubuntor661 | wilee-nilee: I still get "can not mount /dev/loop0" error | 04:55 |
| jrib | Flannel: I don't see where he said that; I was under the assumption he wanted to set this up on a "vanilla install". If he needs to change AllowOverride anyway, then he may as well just set ErrorDocument in the vhost imho | 04:55 |
| Dr_Willis | i thought you had to disable secure boot Syme . | 04:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Syme: check askubuntu.com yet? | 04:55 |
| wilee-nilee | vubuntor661, HOw much ram do you have? | 04:56 |
| vubuntor661 | 4GB | 04:57 |
| wilee-nilee | vubuntor661, YOu might try a mini ISO net load. | 04:57 |
| blarget_ubuntu | YES! Steam is doing something! thank you for everyone that helped! | 04:57 |
| wilee-nilee | vubuntor661, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 04:58 |
| vubuntor661 | wilee-nilee: but why 12.10,12.04 can boot smoothly? | 04:58 |
| sysop3231 | Flannel: progress has been made. it's decided to print out the text "error.html" rather than display the html file. | 04:58 |
| wilee-nilee | vubuntor661, Not sure to be honest, it is a strange problem, you have checked the sum you say. | 04:58 |
| Syme | Yes, I've asked a question on askubuntu but no answer there. Been searching the Internet for hours too. Nothing coming up. Figured I should try some live people. | 04:58 |
| vubuntor661 | Yeah,every files in the Iso... | 04:58 |
| jrib | sysop3231: are you specifying paths relative to your document root? (i.e. probably shouldn't begin with "/var/www"?) | 04:59 |
| wilee-nilee | vubuntor661, This is a standard computer not a uefi fast boot w8 install? | 04:59 |
| sysop3231 | jrib: i have just tried every combination i can think of | 04:59 |
| vubuntor661 | I don't have a good internet connection so net-install will take the whole day to install...and my computer if UEFI with secureboot | 04:59 |
| jrib | sysop3231: what is the one you are trying now exactly? | 05:00 |
| sysop3231 | jrib: /var/www/html/error.html, /error.html, error.html | 05:00 |
| Cache_Money1 | i'm trying to run Wireshark on my Ubuntu VM. How do I find the router's IP, as well as my own? | 05:00 |
| sysop3231 | jrib: just tried those 3 | 05:00 |
| jrib | sysop3231: and what's your document root...? | 05:00 |
| wilee-nilee | vubuntor661, Ah, have you looked at the uefi wiki, and tried the options, I assume you probably have. | 05:00 |
| sysop3231 | jrib: /var/www/html | 05:00 |
| jrib | sysop3231: why do you have "orchestra" in your pastebin? | 05:00 |
| sysop3231 | jrib: for the sake of this question, i brought up a brand new VM that was untouched. So i couldnt be blamed for changing anything in the config. So i can say with authority, this is a BRAND NEW installation unsullied by me. | 05:01 |
| vubuntor661 | wilee-nilee: I tried both "Fast-startup" on/off...Already tried turn off Secure options...(obviously what I tried worked very well with Ubuntu 12.04) | 05:01 |
| sysop3231 | jrib: so at the end of the day once i figure this out, i can email apache and say that their documentation is useless. | 05:02 |
| wilee-nilee | vubuntor661, 12.04.3 has the raring kernel, and has 5 years support, that night be the easiest option. | 05:02 |
| wilee-nilee | might* | 05:02 |
| jrib | sysop3231: if /var/www/html is your DocumentRoot and /var/www/html/error.html exists on your filesystem, then you would want to set "ErrorDocument 404 /error.html". The apache documentation covers all these issues you are dealing with, but you have to read it thoroughly | 05:02 |
| vubuntor661 | wilee-nilee: intel has stopped support Intel Graphics driver for 12.04... | 05:03 |
| lijnk-m | Found my issue was I needed to hit F1 during an extremely small window to reach the bios menu page. Dumb system imo :/ | 05:03 |
| Flannel | jrib, sysop3231: If you're 100% vanilla, then the DocumentRoot is /var/www, not /var/www/html | 05:03 |
| wilee-nilee | vubuntor661, Ah, not really an area I can truly run through all possible answers is all. | 05:03 |
| sysop3231 | Flannel: my mistake. that is correct. | 05:03 |
| sysop3231 | Flannel: habit from my redhat days. | 05:04 |
| Syme | http://askubuntu.com/questions/342802/installing-ubuntu-on-a-secureboot-machine-with-no-existing-os | 05:04 |
| Flannel | sysop3231: so, is error.html in /var/www/html? | 05:04 |
| jrib | sysop3231: (and you need to specify /html/error.html as the path assuming it is) | 05:04 |
| sysop3231 | Flannel: ill make a pastebin real quick so you can see where I am at. | 05:04 |
| Flannel | sysop3231: I'd prefer you just answer the question, but if it's in the pastebin, then so be it. | 05:05 |
| vubuntor661 | wilee-nilee: USB filesystem has to be FAT32,right? | 05:06 |
| DUMBSTAR | so uhm, hi everyone, i have some questions regarding ubuntu | 05:06 |

| Dr_Willis | Syme: you just posted that to askubuntu.com ? you did search there first i hope. ;) | 05:07 |
| vubuntor661 | wilee-nilee: by the way,when I got the error,it also said "Invalid argument"... | 05:07 |
| Syme | Yes, like I said, I searched there. That's why I'm asking now. | 05:09 |
| jrib | Syme: you've read this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 05:09 |
| sysop3231 | Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6077745/ | 05:09 |
| wilee-nilee | vubuntor661, I have to wonder since your download speed is so slow that even though the sum is correct there might still be problems, other than that I'm not more than a armchair user with to much time. So I know more that an average user in general, but I have not dealt with more than my own problems in detail. | 05:09 |
| pepper_chico | hi, I just installed ubuntu 13.04 on a macbook, it's kind of weird, my lock screen now gets an old style simple white lockscreen window, before in other installations I aways got a nice lock screen I think, any way to fix this? | 05:09 |
| sysop3231 | Flannel: Oh, and before you ask. Yes, everything is chowned to www-data.www-data | 05:10 |
| Flannel | sysop3231: So, if you go http://yourserver/error.html, it shows up? | 05:10 |
| Syme | Yes, all the guides I've found tell me about disabling things through the windows 8 interface itself, or through its boot menu. I don't have windows 8 anymore, so I can't do that. I basically only have the grub interface to work with. | 05:11 |
| pepper_chico | any knowledge on that? | 05:11 |
| pepper_chico | this lock screen is ugly... | 05:11 |
| sysop3231 | Flannel: correctly. in another VM ive brought up scientific linux 6, and modified the vhost to AllowOVerride all,. and the httaccess file is working there. | 05:14 |
| Mace268 | Any ideas why my sound goes corrupt when I change the volume? I have to restart ALSA to fix it every time. | 05:14 |
| Flannel | sysop3231: and all of this is via http, and not https, right? | 05:14 |
| sysop3231 | Flannel: not sure whats going on in the ubuntu vm.. ill have to use SL6 for this project. | 05:14 |
| DUMBSTAR | so whats the best way to go about installing ubuntu 12.something on my windows machine, can i just make a small ass partition and do some magic to get it to boot to the install of ubuntu without messing up my windows/work partition? | 05:14 |
| Flannel | sysop3231: Have at it then. | 05:14 |
| CarlFK | DUMBSTAR: yes. | 05:15 |
| sysop3231 | Flannel: thanks for the help, im sure im missing something somehow. | 05:15 |
| wilee-nilee | DUMBSTAR, do the voodoo that you must do. | 05:15 |
| DUMBSTAR | thanks CarlFK | 05:15 |
| DUMBSTAR | lol | 05:15 |
| Dr_Willis | DUMBSTAR: resize your partitions, install ubuntu to its own partion. use grub to select the os. is the normal way | 05:15 |
| DUMBSTAR | grub? | 05:15 |
| Dr_Willis | DUMBSTAR: yes. GRUB is the default bootloader ubuntu uses | 05:15 |
| DUMBSTAR | pretend i have no idea with linux, im a super windows god, but i have seen the future...windows 8 sucks. | 05:16 |
| Dr_Willis | DUMBSTAR: first step woule be to make backups of your system. just in case | 05:16 |
| DUMBSTAR | backups are for people that might do things wrong ;) | 05:16 |
| Dr_Willis | DUMBSTAR: next step would be to make a bootable usb flash , or cd/dvd | 05:16 |

| === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away | ||
| CarlFK | DUMBSTAR: the slight magic you are missing: windows lives in a partition, but part of the windows install is to install a boot loader onto a special part of your drive.. that will be replaced with grub - but it can load windows too, so you are fine | 05:16 |
| Dr_Willis | DUMBSTAR: if you dont want to bother with backups.. then go for it. | 05:17 |
| jrib | Syme: that link says you should use your bios | 05:17 |
| tfowl | Is there a way to backup my USB flash drive with Arch ArmV5 on it from my pogo plug that isn't terminal? A simple UI way? I am newer to Ubuntu/Arch and that part was a bit confusing. | 05:17 |
| DUMBSTAR | ok, so i have a usb, can i just make that bootable with the ubuntu installer/file i just downloaded? | 05:17 |
| Dr_Willis | id be sure to hav ea windows rescue/restore/recovery dvd set made | 05:17 |
| DUMBSTAR | (to install to my hard drive) | 05:17 |
| Dr_Willis | DUMBSTAR: you use a ubuntu iso file. and some of the many tools out there from the ubuntu site or the pendrivelinux site to make it into a bootable usb | 05:18 |
| Dr_Willis | DUMBSTAR: if you are refering to the 'wubi' tool. i sugest you dont use wubi. | 05:18 |
| DUMBSTAR | cool thanks everyone for the help so far, better that company support, its like the cummunity is...a group of humans | 05:18 |

| Dr_Willis | vubuntor661: could be the iso was bad. or the tool did somthing stupid. or thres some weird bug with the tool used. | 05:21 |
| jrib | Syme: well can you get to your bios? | 05:21 |
| DUMBSTAR | thanks CarlFK | 05:21 |
| aarcane | Syme, there should be. Press F1 or F2 or Delete to load the BIOS/UEFI Setup page, and go through the menues to find an option to disable Secure Boot. | 05:21 |

| serviscope_minor | Hi all. Question: Just installed Ubuntu 12.04. The "synaptics" touch pad seems to be configured oddly. Looking at the output of synclient, TapButton1=1, TapButton2=3 TapButton3=0 which is more or less impossible to use. Easy enough to fix on every log in from a shell using synclient. Any idea how to make the change stick or remove the odd config? nothing in xorg.conf.d does such a remapping. Any idea where else might be s | 05:27 |
| serviscope_minor | ending settings to it? | 05:27 |
| Syme | Oh boy! I pressed F1 and 2 and del lightning fast and here's the BIOS after all. Hold on... | 05:27 |
| vubuntor661 | aarcane: I don't set the size...I let it zero | 05:27 |
| serviscope_minor | to follow up, I quite enjoy having button2 map to button 2 and 3 to 3... :) | 05:27 |
| serviscope_minor | in the default config it is in fact impossible to middle-click paste. | 05:28 |
| DUMBSTAR | if your having odd issues when installing or running some operating systems, check in the BIOS that you have any "virtualization" turned off... 2 of the virtual options interfere with things, only turn on if your running a hyper-v or virtual machine server - ignore me if this doesnt apply to you, just sharing :P | 05:29 |
| Syme | I have a feeling it'll work now. Thanks a lot guy. Sorry if I sounded freaked out. I was. You guys must really care a lot about open source to put up with people like me! | 05:29 |
| Dr_Willis | vubuntor661: ive had issues with unetbootin in the past. i tend to just use dd or some other tools ti image the iso straight to the usb. or some of the tools at the pendrivelinux site that boot iso files via grub | 05:29 |
| vubuntor661 | Dr_Willis: I tried many boot loader for USB | 05:30 |
| Syme | Though now it's just showing the Linux copyright text and doing nothing. Which I remember from last time! So that's good. But I'm confused again. | 05:30 |
| vubuntor661 | Universal of pendrivelinux,still the same | 05:30 |
| Dr_Willis | vubuntor661: you did verify the iso file also? | 05:30 |
| vubuntor661 | Dr_Willis: yes...iso,and its content | 05:30 |

| Dr_Willis | im testing out 13.10 ;) i tend to stick with the cutting edge. | 05:32 |
| Dr_Willis | vubuntor661: ive even set up a hard drive (via a live cd) to boot a ISO file from the hd. to make installing faster - on a tricky machine. | 05:32 |
| vubuntor661 | Dr_Willis: 13.10 is still not official... | 05:32 |
| Dr_Willis | vubuntor661: thats why its being 'tested' ;) | 05:33 |
| vubuntor661 | I will wait until it releases | 05:33 |

| Dr_Willis | perhaps it thinks the new overclocked speed is stock. Or its throtteling it down | 06:16 |
| === mouse is now known as chocolatemousse | ||
| chocolatemousse | There we go | 06:17 |
| Dr_Willis | then again - overclocking tends to be best avoided ;) | 06:17 |
| sl33k_ | How do I know at what slot how much RAM is allocated? | 06:17 |
| user_me | I was looking for it but the ondemand file is missing from my filesystem | 06:17 |
| chocolatemousse | I agree, OC'ing is dangerous when its handled all tidely for you, doubly so when you don't know much about the kernel | 06:17 |
| Dr_Willis | i definatly have seen issues with linux in the past running on overclocked hardware. | 06:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Only thing i overclock these days - is my RaspberryPi ;) | 06:18 |
| user_me | My CPU reached 4.9ghz in windows without any problem so I figured 4.5ghz in linux would be fine | 06:19 |
| user_me | stock is 3.5ghz and it takes to long to render video at that speed | 06:19 |
| chocolatemousse | user_me: well yeah but I think they provide a lot of support for OC'ing these days in Mobos, and probably for Windows | 06:19 |
| Dr_Willis | so your system is only using 40% of your max cpu.. instead of like 43% ;) | 06:20 |
| chocolatemousse | So that people who don't have a clue what they're doing don't break it. | 06:20 |
| chocolatemousse | I don't know what safety measure are in place for linux. | 06:20 |
| chocolatemousse | Probably none | 06:20 |
| user_me | I have a cooling system for my CPU and my temps right now are 80 degrees below the TJ MAX | 06:21 |
| chocolatemousse | user_me, I'd still look at cpu_govenor | 06:22 |
| user_me | where is it located? | 06:22 |
| chocolatemousse | its a package, look it up | 06:22 |
| user_me | oh ok thank you | 06:23 |
| chocolatemousse | you can install some Ghz desktop monitor stuff too | 06:23 |
| chocolatemousse | e.g. that one famous one everyone uses and I can't remember its name... | 06:23 |
| chocolatemousse | conky | 06:24 |
| chocolatemousse | you can get conky to run a Ghz monitor | 06:24 |
| Dr_Willis | thers indicator-applets to show cpu speed and stuff also i thats all you want | 06:24 |
| user_me | I have conky and psencor | 06:24 |
| user_me | *Psensor | 06:25 |
| anonymous87 | how am i supposed to used tor | 06:26 |
| anonymous87 | it says it could not launch tor browser | 06:27 |
| Dr_Willis | anonymous87: read the tor web site/wiki/setup guide? once you get it going and the browser set to use it as a proxy it should be automatic | 06:27 |
| user_me | download tor from the website then extract the tor file then click the shell script and it will run | 06:27 |
| e-mc^2 | !tor | 06:29 |
| ubottu | Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is in Ubuntu's repositories, but the Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's.

| rigo88 | if i try to log in via putty to the ubuntu i type in to login my login name press enter i have to wait 5sec before i can go futurer. | 06:43 |
| jpds | rigo88: And you get the same thing with a normal ssh client on a normal Ubuntu machine? | 06:46 |
| Dr_Willis | ssh localhost :) to test | 06:46 |
| Dr_Willis | or from a differnt pc. | 06:46 |
| rigo88 | the ssh localhost does not asks for a username. :) but i try the htpc either. | 06:47 |
| Dr_Willis | its paseing the username | 06:47 |
| Dr_Willis | passinmg the username. You could set up putty to send the username also. | 06:47 |
| Dr_Willis | you could set up keys to not even need the password | 06:47 |
| rigo88 | well. no. from the linux to antoher linux it happens immedietlay | 06:48 |
| rigo88 | no no | 06:48 |
| rigo88 | the same result. | 06:48 |
| Dr_Willis | sounds like a sshd setting to help throttle down DDos attacks | 06:48 |
| rigo88 | 5sec. lets name the 2 pc-s: server and htpc. from htpc to server 5 sec. from server to htpc 0ms | 06:49 |
| rigo88 | well i installed both machines ALMOST the same way.. | 06:49 |
| Dr_Willis | compare the 2 sshd configs from each box | 06:49 |
| rigo88 | do the installed applications have right to change my sshd config files!? | 06:50 |
| Dr_Willis | i wouldent think so | 06:50 |
| rigo88 | 'cause i never changed them. | 06:50 |
| Dr_Willis | there could be some other firewall rules or somthing going on also. | 06:50 |
| Dr_Willis | might be worth searching on askubuntu.co, | 06:51 |
| Dr_Willis | .com | 06:51 |
| rigo88 | u mean the /etc/ssh/ssh_config file? | 06:51 |
| chocolatemousse | rigo88, yes | 06:51 |
| chocolatemousse | change the sshd config on your linux box | 06:51 |
| === GingerGeek[Away] is now known as GingerGeek | ||
| chocolatemousse | rigo88, it might be there to stop 10 year olds from downloading putty on their windows computers and running ssh ddos attacks | 06:52 |
| chocolatemousse | As Dr_Willis was implying | 06:52 |
| Dr_Willis | it would be the sshd config file | 06:52 |
| Dr_Willis | not the ssh config file - i think. | 06:52 |
| Dr_Willis | could also be some sort of hosts.allow/deny/firewall stuff going on. | 06:53 |
| chocolatemousse | or putty could just be slow | 06:53 |
| rigo88 | yep cause the ssh config file is 99% commented out and what is not they are just the same. | 06:53 |
| chocolatemousse | rigo88, also keep in mind the windows box might be running a hefty firewall | 06:53 |
| Dr_Willis | is also possible its soe quirk with putty - if your tests show its only affecting putty | 06:53 |
| chocolatemousse | rigo88, have you tried turning off windows security? | 06:54 |
| rigo88 | like we already figured out this 5sec wait time is present from a linux to another linux eiter. so not a putty problem. | 06:54 |
| Dr_Willis | try a differnt client on the window box or just dont worry about it. ;) | 06:54 |
| chocolatemousse | 5 seconds is a lot of time for a computer | 06:54 |
| Dr_Willis | it sounes like an intentianal delay for anti-ddos stuff | 06:55 |
| chocolatemousse | I don't blame him for wanting to know where the bottleneck is | 06:55 |
| Dr_Willis | if he really wanted to login in a hurry.. set up ssh keys and dont use the name/password method | 06:55 |
| chocolatemousse | *shrug* I don't know how ssh functions but it sounds like a poor way of stopping an attack? if you fail the first time then you can't log in again for 5 seconds | 06:56 |
| Dr_Willis | now if that still had the delay.. that would be.. interesting | 06:56 |
| chocolatemousse | there are so many different causes of this problem rigo88 could end up in 20 different irc channels | 06:56 |
| rigo88 | i dont want to try a different client.. the client i use is just fine for me. :) | 06:56 |
| Dr_Willis | chocolatemousse: if theres 10000 people attacking your pc.. a 5 sec delay on them can keep your server up instead of lagged to death | 06:56 |
| rigo88 | i cat the sshd_config files and check any differences | 06:56 |
| Dr_Willis | i have also seen routers that have such throtteling in them | 06:56 |
| chocolatemousse | Dr_Willis, sure, if it distinguishes people | 06:57 |
| chocolatemousse | Dr_Willis, I meant it can only log *anyone* once every 5 seconds | 06:57 |
| chocolatemousse | but the first person to log in doesn't need to wait 5 seconds | 06:57 |
| chocolatemousse | first come, first served | 06:57 |
| chocolatemousse | So yeah, the 10k people can all try to DDOS, but they're going to be ddosing the network, not tying up the ssh | 06:58 |
| Dr_Willis | all the throtteling rules/features ive seen base it on ip i belive. | 06:58 |
| Dr_Willis | sshd also has verbose logging you may want to turn on and monitor the logs | 06:58 |
| chocolatemousse | Dr_Willis, well and that makes sense | 06:59 |
| chocolatemousse | Dr_Willis, I'm just talking about when the timer is started | 06:59 |
| sl33k | How to know my motherboard model from command line? | 07:00 |
| Dr_Willis | !info hwinfo | 07:00 |
| ubottu | hwinfo (source: hwinfo): Hardware identification system. In component universe, is optional. Version 16.0-2.2 (raring), package size 17 kB, installed size 99 kB | 07:00 |
| rigo88 | no differences in the 2 files | 07:00 |
| chocolatemousse | Single IP address logs in, no one, including any other IP address, can log in for the next 5 secs | 07:00 |
| sl33k | Dr_Willis: hwinfo was directed at me? | 07:01 |
| Dr_Willis | sl33k: you asked how to identify hardware | 07:01 |
| sl33k | yes | 07:01 |
| chocolatemousse | Less suitable for large installations of course | 07:01 |
| sl33k | its a package i think | 07:01 |
| chocolatemousse | Fine for a couple people who want to keep script kiddies off of their back :) | 07:01 |
| Dr_Willis | hwinfo tool prints out a lot of hardware info | 07:01 |
| sl33k | Dr_Willis: installing it thanks | 07:02 |
| chocolatemousse | assuming you were already logged in, still a DDOS of access in that case but again less of an issue for small installations | 07:02 |
| sl33k | Dr_Willis: which hardware class in that view? starting part got clipped out in the command line | 07:05 |
| Dr_Willis | sl33k: no idea - ive not used that tool in ages. pipe it to a file. or hwinfo | more or check the options it mayhav3 some show only... features | 07:06 |

| automatik | can someone help me to format my usb thumbdrive. Gparted is not working. | 07:13 |
| Dr_Willis | whats not working about it? | 07:13 |
| Dr_Willis | plug in the flash drive. if it auto mounts. use the cli to unmount it. then use gparted, or the cli to format it as you want | 07:14 |
| automatik | Dr_Willis: it doesn't automount | 07:14 |
| Dr_Willis | dont use the file managers eject/remove/whatever ;) that can power off the usb port | 07:14 |
| automatik | cli can't mount or dismount it | 07:14 |
| Dr_Willis | automatik: so you plug it in.. run 'dmesg' to verify its seen | 07:14 |
| automatik | Dr_Willis: hang on a second? | 07:15 |
| Dr_Willis | if the thing has hardwre issues where the pc dosent see it - theres not going to be any way to partion or format it. | 07:15 |
| universe2014 | automatik: perhaps it needs a new partition table on the usb | 07:15 |
| automatik | universe2014: yeah i tried that under gparted but it was a no go | 07:16 |
| Dr_Willis | gparted should still see if it that was the case. But frist step. plyg it in. determins its /dev/sdX identiy | 07:16 |
| lopez | howdy ho! | 07:16 |
| lopez | looging for a MILF | 07:17 |
| Dr_Willis | look in #foreveralone | 07:18 |
| automatik | http://paste.debian.net/36779/ <- result | 07:18 |
| lopez | why there? | 07:18 |
| Dr_Willis | automatik: seems rather clear.. its an unpartioned disk. you need to partion it | 07:18 |
| lopez | it has to be some ubuntu using MILF | 07:19 |
| automatik | ok so i tried that under gparted | 07:19 |
| automatik | it used msdos | 07:19 |
| Dr_Willis | automatik: yep. thats right. | 07:19 |
| automatik | then tried partition new then that is when the failure message appeared | 07:19 |
| Dr_Willis | what was the failure message? | 07:20 |
| lopez | also... I want to buy some weed | 07:20 |
| lopez | is it an appropriate channel? | 07:20 |
| automatik | i pasted it in pastebin ^previous linked message | 07:20 |
| Dr_Willis | automatik: that just said it needed a partion table.. which you said you tried to do. and it then said it needed to make a partition table.. | 07:20 |
| Dr_Willis | endless cycle? | 07:21 |
| === black is now known as Guest37550 | ||
| Dr_Willis | try partioning it with fdisk perhaps? | 07:21 |
| automatik | stop for a second | 07:21 |
| Dr_Willis | did this flash drive used to have data on it? | 07:21 |
| automatik | hang on for a second,.. i'll explain everything in steps | 07:21 |
| lopez | Alina-malina | 07:21 |
| lopez | sounds polish | 07:22 |
| automatik | initially this drive was used as an installation disk | 07:22 |
| Dr_Willis | automatik: you mean you used dd to put an ISO file on it? | 07:22 |
| automatik | i used unetbootin or disk creator | 07:22 |
| automatik | anyway i tried to use the drive but then it wouldn't automount | 07:23 |
| automatik | i later tried using gparted | 07:23 |
| automatik | clicked on device | 07:23 |
| automatik | then create partition table | 07:23 |
| automatik | it behaved as if a partition was being created | 07:24 |
| automatik | after it was done i went under partition | 07:24 |
| automatik | then new | 07:24 |
| lopez | oh really? | 07:24 |
| Dr_Willis | sounds to me like it had a hardware failure on the usb. if it was partioned/formated then suddendly became unpartioned. | 07:24 |
| automatik | and tried to add a new partition | 07:24 |
| === mnepton is now known as mneptok | ||
| Dr_Willis | you may want to try to zero out the flash with the dd command, then try to repartition it. | 07:25 |
| automatik | i posted the failure message on pastebin (what you just read in the link) | 07:25 |
| Dr_Willis | somthing like 'sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=4M' | 07:25 |
| Dr_Willis | that faulure message says very little. it says its unpartioned and you ned to make a partion on it.. which you cant do. | 07:26 |
| Dr_Willis | you normally only need to make a partion table on a hard drive once. when its totally new/untouched | 07:26 |
| Dr_Willis | the partition 'table' is a small part of the drive where the system writes partition info.\ | 07:27 |
| lopez | like a maiden's vagina | 07:27 |
| automatik | understood | 07:27 |
| automatik | ok so i entered the command you gave me in the cli, and it's still running | 07:27 |
| Dr_Willis | if you zero out the drive. it should write zeros to the whole drive. and say how many gb of data it wrote. if it only writes a little bit then exists.. it may be the usb is failing | 07:28 |
| automatik | ok | 07:28 |
| Dr_Willis | or failed.. it should take some time to totally zero out the flash drive | 07:28 |
| automatik | ok | 07:28 |
| Dr_Willis | how big is the flash drive? | 07:28 |
| automatik | 4 G | 07:28 |
| Dr_Willis | that shouldent take to long then | 07:29 |
| Dr_Willis | dd will fail/exit when it gets to the end of the drive and print out how much it wrote - that shouldbe close to 4gb | 07:30 |
| automatik | ok - here is a message: dd: writing 'writing `/dev/sdc': No space left on device | 07:30 |
| automatik | gives me some numerical values about records in and out resulting in the amount of drive space on the drive | 07:31 |
| Dr_Willis | now its a totally zeroed drive. and you can try to repartion it | 07:31 |
| automatik | cli or gparted? | 07:31 |
| Dr_Willis | fdisk can handle it | 07:31 |
| Dacs | hello folks | 07:31 |
| Dr_Willis | or cfdisk, or parted. or gparted. | 07:31 |
| Dr_Willis | fdisk is what im used to. ;) but it depends on what you want the fs to be on it | 07:31 |
| Dr_Willis | sudo fdisk /dev/sdc let it make a new partition table. make a primary partion, of the type you want. write changes. ;) | 07:32 |

Using sudo intel_backlight 0-100 from the terminal does work, but is not acceptable | 07:33 |
| backlight | Dacs: 64 for certain | 07:33 |
| Dacs | backlight: hmmm i tried to install 13.4 and when it boots i get grub rescue | 07:34 |

| Jordan_U | Dacs: That usually means that you have a buggy BIOS that can't properly handle large drives. | 07:36 |
| Dr_Willis | automatik: partition TABLE - you use the msdos one in most cases | 07:36 |
| Jordan_U | Dacs: You can work around that problem by creating a small separate /boot/ partition near the beginning of the drive. | 07:37 |
| Dr_Willis | automatik: then you make partions of the type you want to format them to become. ie: a single parimary partition, of type vfat | 07:37 |

| Sicno | hi, I'm trying to install ubuntu 12.04.3 64 bit on an HP all-in-one PC from a bootable usb drive but at some point while trying to launch a live session or install ubuntu I get "Kernel panic - not syncing: fatal exception in interrupt". I've tried both Lili and UNetbootin for creating the usb drive, same result. | 07:54 |
| automatik | http://paste.debian.net/36787/ | 07:55 |
| usr13 | automatik: Ok, there you go... | 07:55 |
| usr13 | !md5sum | Sicno | 07:56 |

| automatik | ok so now i hit w | 07:56 |
| usr13 | automatik: Yes | 07:56 |
| usr13 | w | 07:56 |
| usr13 | automatik: And to format, mkfs.vfat | 07:57 |
| automatik | http://paste.debian.net/36788/ | 07:57 |
| universe2014 | Sicno: did you try noapic acpi=off? and such nolapic boot options | 07:57 |
| usr13 | automatik: What did it say when you hit w ? | 07:58 |
| automatik | ok so fdisk mkfs.vfat ? | 07:58 |
| usr13 | automatik: Any error? | 07:58 |
| Dr_Willis | err.. fdisk is a command.. mkfs.vfat is a command. ;) | 07:58 |
| automatik | oops ok | 07:58 |
| usr13 | automatik: (It doesn't look like you created the partition yet. | 07:58 |
| Sicno | universe2014: no, how do I set those? | 07:58 |
| Dr_Willis | fdisk mkfs.vfat is not a command :) | 07:58 |
| Dr_Willis | automatik: try unplug/plugging back in the usb | 07:59 |
| universe2014 | esc on grub menu | 07:59 |
| sl33k | what is my motherboard model from this `lshw` output? http://bpaste.net/show/g7KyY44Rd7fhbi42x41E/ | 07:59 |
| Dr_Willis | ive seen cases wher eif you partion a disk - the system dosent see the changes untill its removes/put back | 07:59 |
| automatik | ok | 07:59 |
| usr13 | Dr_Willis: fdisk will usually auto-sync | 07:59 |
| Dr_Willis | usr13: yea it should.. ive also seen it not. but thats beenb age ago | 08:00 |
| Dr_Willis | sl33k: looks like 047MWF to me | 08:00 |
| usr13 | Ok, I'm not to familiar with efi | 08:00 |
| universe2014 | Sicno: escape on grup menu and edit kernel line type the options in the line | 08:00 |
| universe2014 | perhaps easyer if you find example on a site | 08:01 |
| usr13 | automatik: Did you unplug and plug it back in again? | 08:01 |
| automatik | just a sec | 08:01 |
| automatik | ok done | 08:02 |
| Dr_Willis | check dmesg output. at the end.. it should mention the drive and info about it automatik | 08:02 |
| automatik | ok so fdisk -l /dev/sdc ? | 08:02 |
| usr13 | automatik: Yes | 08:02 |
| Dr_Willis | and check fdisk -l, to see | 08:02 |
| Dr_Willis | dmesg might mention some errors | 08:03 |
| usr13 | ... if there are any | 08:03 |
| Sicno | universe2014: ok, I'll try | 08:03 |
| Dr_Willis | in the time ive been here helping get his 4gb flash working.. ive been paid enough from work to buy like 20 of them . ;P | 08:04 |

| Dr_Willis | repair a keyboard? ;) | 08:43 |
| Dr_Willis | i gave away about 20 keyboards the other day | 08:44 |

| automatik | no | 08:44 |

| usr13 | What happened? | 08:52 |
| automatik | i don't know | 08:52 |
| automatik | under fdisk i did what you said | 08:53 |
| Dr_Willis | pastebin the whole fdisk session perhaps? | 08:53 |
| automatik | no | 08:53 |
| usr13 | Dr_Willis: He did, http://paste.debian.net/36802/ | 08:53 |
| usr13 | Dr_Willis: Only thing is, he did not do p to show the partition he created, he just did w (without looking at it), so it doesn't show a partition table for us to see. | 08:54 |
| Dr_Willis | sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdc | 08:54 |
| Dr_Willis | that is NOT correct | 08:54 |
| Dr_Willis | you use /dev/sdc1 | 08:55 |
| usr13 | Dr_Willis: But he had no choice, because he did not have sdc1 (I suppose). | 08:55 |
| Dacs | seriously this suck :S so i have installed 13.4 64bit and reboot i get purple screen | 08:55 |
| Dr_Willis | if he formated sdc. then that would mess up the partion table again I belive | 08:55 |
| usr13 | !nomodeset | Dacs | 08:55 |

| Dacs | is this normal | 08:56 |
| Dr_Willis | you boot and get a login screen... thats normal.. | 08:56 |
| automatik | should i try it again with p? | 08:56 |
| Dr_Willis | unless you want to be a bit mroe detailed | 08:56 |
| usr13 | Dr_Willis: Oh, I see, he did "sudo mkfs.vfat -I /dev/sdc" and wiped it. haha | 08:57 |
| usr13 | automatik: Do you see what you did? | 08:57 |
| automatik | oh man | 08:57 |
| Dr_Willis | usr13: bingo | 08:57 |
| automatik | ok what did i do wrong? | 08:57 |
| Dr_Willis | you formated the drive. not the partition | 08:57 |
| Dacs | Dr_Willis: no , okay so i booted after installing 13.4 64bit , i got a purple screen for ~ 4min then i got the login screen | 08:58 |
| Dr_Willis | that erased the partion table | 08:58 |
| automatik | *sigh* ok | 08:58 |
| usr13 | automatik: You were supposed to use command sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdc1 (But you did sda and forced it.) | 08:58 |

| Dr_Willis | automatik: actually gparted MAY work now on the drive | 08:58 |

| blazemore | m4tux: Can't you right click on them and do remove? | 11:13 |
| te5ita | And then when your Ethernet or whatever it's connected, it should automatically override the wireless connection | 11:13 |
| dreamon | te5ita, should the use same IPs? | 11:13 |
| te5ita | I don't think that matters tbh | 11:13 |
| m4tux | when i right click on them i got 2 options | 11:13 |

| michael87 | blazemore, that only changes the color of the window snapping. What i am talking about is the hot corner feature that lets you see all your windows at once and when you have your cursor hovering over a window it glows. want to change the color on that | 11:59 |
| bekks | The_Chronicler: Yes, "rm" them, | 11:59 |
| blazemore | michael87: Are you sure they were using Unity and not Cinnamon? | 12:00 |
| The_Chronicler | is the command "rm /media/[name of dead folder]? thanks for the help by the way | 12:01 |
| michael87 | blazemore, they where using unity | 12:01 |
| MonkeyDust | michael87 use unity-tweak-tool | 12:01 |
| elglas | The_Chronicler, (use this with extreme caution) open up a terminal and type: "sudo rm -r /media/<the first few characters><tab>" the tab will auto complete for the link name | 12:02 |
| michael87 | MonkeyDust, unity tweak tool is open. I have looked through all the settings and still haven't found how to change that | 12:02 |
| The_Chronicler | great, thanks for the help. i'll make sure not to accidentally remove my ubuntu install, lol | 12:03 |
| MonkeyDust | michael87 hmm, odd, try gnome-tweak-tool or ubuntu-tweak, if that doesnt help, then i don't know | 12:03 |
| elglas | The_Chronicler, no problem, also, always keep backups of anything vital :) | 12:04 |
| michael87 | MonkeyDust, its ok. Its only a miner irateness. I am personally glad with all the tweaks I have made with my unity desktop. the one thing I loved about the kde desktop (windows glowwing) I learned how to do thanks to compiz settings. linux is amazing.

| sakshi | Hi. My webcamera is not being detected for http://socialgif.com/. I am using ubuntu 12.04. Please help. | 12:42 |
| bekks | sakshi: Which webcamera is it, which chipset? | 12:43 |
| tozen | cfhowlett: ok, thx | 12:44 |
| marloshouse | this is going to sound like a silly question, but where do i find my mounted cdrom on my server | 12:46 |
| cfhowlett | marloshouse, should be /media | 12:47 |
| marloshouse | i see cdrom there, but there's nothing in it | 12:47 |
| marloshouse | and i'm reading it right now | 12:47 |
| marloshouse | (or installing something from it) | 12:47 |
| gordonjcp | marloshouse: type "mount" and work it out from there | 12:47 |
| marloshouse | well, i'm installing windows | 12:48 |
| gordonjcp | marloshouse: it may not be mounted automatically | 12:48 |
| marloshouse | it's not in mount | 12:48 |
| gordonjcp | okay, so it's not mounted automatically | 12:48 |
| marloshouse | virtualbox found it and is installing windows from it right now | 12:48 |
| gordonjcp | which kind of makes sense, since the server edition doesn't do that | 12:48 |
| marloshouse | where did virtualbox get it from? | 12:48 |
| neredsenvy | Can someone help me here I have a HDD with Ubuntu running on it and SSD nothing on it I can select both as bootable in boot menu. http://worldotech.wordpress.com/2011/12/31/how-to-install-windows-7-or-windows-8-from-your-external-hard-drive/ I followed this tutorial to install Windows from external HDD the SSD in my case to my HDD that is running Ubuntu | 12:49 |
| neredsenvy | However I'm stuck at step 3 | 12:49 |
| neredsenvy | Anyway to do that In Ubuntu ? | 12:49 |
| bekks | marloshouse: From the cd, which you configured in the vbox settings,. | 12:49 |
| sakshi | bekks: It's written CMOS Camera lens | 12:49 |
| bekks | sakshi: Where is that written? | 12:49 |
| marloshouse | sr0 virtualbox says | 12:49 |
| marloshouse | hmm | 12:49 |
| bekks | marloshouse: You configured your vm to use that drive. | 12:50 |
| marloshouse | weird | 12:50 |
| sakshi | bekks: In the manual. | 12:50 |
| marloshouse | i just expected it to be 'mount'ed somewhere | 12:50 |
| bekks | sakshi: The manual is irrelevant at that point. Which chipset is it? | 12:50 |
| sakshi | bekks: How do I find that? | 12:51 |
| bekks | 33 | 12:51 |
| bekks | sakshi: Use lsusb | 12:51 |
| marloshouse | ok, so, since my cdrom is not mounted like i expected, how can I get it mounted, or identify which device it is. in dmesg | grep sd I don't see any devices as 'sdd' or something that i'd expect to be the cdrom | 12:54 |
| bekks | marloshouse: use the "mount" command. | 12:55 |
| Giupizz93 | Hi | 13:00 |
| marloshouse | i feel completely inept... there is no cdrom in fstab or mtab | 13:01 |
| bekks | marloshouse: You dont need a fstab entry to mount a cdrom. | 13:01 |
| tozen | cfhowlett: | 13:01 |
| tozen | sudo apt-get install ubuntu-wallpapers-extra ubuntu-wallpapers-karmic ubuntu-wallpapers-lucid ubuntu-wallpapers-maverick ubuntu-wallpapers-natty ubuntu-wallpapers-oneiric ubuntu-wallpapers-precise | 13:01 |
| tozen | this helped me | 13:01 |
| cfhowlett | tozen, nice. What I did: I wanted the UbuntuStudio and Ubuntu Satanic wallpapers. Downloaded all and put archived them to UbuntuOne. Ready whenever I need them. | 13:02 |
| oscar | Can anyone help me with my problem about suspending in Ubuntu 13.04? | 13:02 |
| bekks | oscar: You have to state your problem first. | 13:03 |
| sakshi | eimis: Nope. | 13:03 |
| tozen | cfhowlett: ok ;) | 13:03 |
| oscar | Whenever I open my computer after suspending it, my screen goes crazy, it flashes tons of different colours. It seems that the OS still works when it does this, I just cant make out anything | 13:04 |
| bekks | oscar: So which Ubuntu do you use, which graphics driver and which kernel? | 13:04 |
| oscar | Ubuntu Version: 13.04 | 13:05 |
| oscar | whats a kernel sorry? | 13:05 |
| bekks | !kernel | oscar | 13:05 |
| ubottu | oscar: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) | 13:05 |
| bekks | oscar: Whats the output of "uname -a"? | 13:05 |
| sakshi | bekks: Isusb command not found :( | 13:06 |
| oscar | I have no Idea, I just got Ubuntu a day ago | 13:06 |
| oscar | This is all new to me | 13:06 |
| bekks | sakshi: it is a lowercase L, not an uppercase i | 13:06 |
| bekks | oscar: Then ope a terminal and type it in. | 13:06 |
| sakshi | bekks: No command 'isusb' found, | 13:07 |

| Nox_404 | Hi, i made a mistake, on an ubuntu server 12.04 i create a bridge between eth0 and another bridge (i wrote the wrong iface) so now i can't reconnect this server ! (using ssh). If i reboot the server will my connection be back ? | 13:08 |
| oscar | Does that help bekks? | 13:08 |
| bekks | oscar: We need to know which graphics hardware and which driver yoiu are using. | 13:09 |

| bekks | oscar: Where do you get that driver info from? | 13:10 |
| sakshi | bekks: right | 13:10 |
| HelloWorld3211 | thanks krux, I'll give that a shot | 13:11 |
| Nox_404 | answer me please | 13:11 |
| oscar | From Details | 13:11 |
| cfhowlett | Nox_404, suggest you ask in #ubuntu-server | 13:11 |
| bekks | Nox_404: We dont know how exactly you did that - so we cant answer that question. | 13:11 |
| Nox_404 | cfhowlett: thanks i'll try | 13:11 |
| bekks | oscar: From details _where_? | 13:12 |
| bekks | oscar: We dont see your screen. | 13:12 |
| oscar | I just searched System, and Details came up | 13:12 |
| oscar | from the Dash thing | 13:12 |
| sakshi | bekks: Now? | 13:12 |
| bekks | oscar: And gallium is not a driver. You are using radean, dont you? | 13:13 |
| Nox_404 | bekks: I just made a bridge between an iface (eth0) and another bidge with `brctl addif` | 13:13 |
| bekks | sakshi: Now you have to search wether that device is supported. | 13:13 |
| oscar | I would assume that yeah | 13:13 |
| bekks | oscar: Look it up please. | 13:13 |
| bekks | !radeon|oscar | 13:13 |
| ubottu | oscar: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 13:13 |
| oscar | It just says this: Driver Gallium 0.4 on AMD RV710 | 13:14 |
| bekks | oscar: Gallium is not a driver. | 13:14 |
| oscar | I got this laptop in 2009, and I havnt installed any new drivers, maybe it just dosnt exist anymore? | 13:14 |
| bekks | oscar: Nope. | 13:14 |
| bekks | oscar: Please read the link the bot gave you. | 13:15 |
| cfhowlett | oscar, entirely possible | 13:15 |
| bekks | cfhowlett: radeon drivers still exist. | 13:15 |
| cfhowlett | bekks, I know. I was speaking to Gallium driver he mentioned. | 13:15 |

| challach | i want to change it to single click how it was before. please help | 13:33 |
| eimis | are you running unity? | 13:34 |

| challach | in the mouse settings it's applied fir single click | 13:34 |
| challach | no i'm running kde | 13:34 |
| neredsenvy | jrib: No I simply mounted the drive, formated to NTFS extracted ISO contents to it and now i need to make it bootable. I followed this tutorial http://worldotech.wordpress.com/2011/12/31/how-to-install-windows-7-or-windows-8-from-your-external-hard-drive/ | 13:35 |

| neredsenvy | jrib: I have gparted | 13:36 |
| neredsenvy | How do I make the drive bootable from gparted ? | 13:36 |
| jrib | neredsenvy: it should be exposed in the gui. Try exploring the menus or right clicking on the partition and look for "flags" | 13:36 |

| tkeith | How can I figure out why a certain package is installed -- whether it's installed by default or as a dependency of another package? | 13:40 |
| jrib | neredsenvy: that seems like a reasonable assumption | 13:40 |
| jrib | tkeith: aptitude why package; hold for non-aptitude solution | 13:40 |
| jrib | tkeith: use apt-mark show*; not sure if there's a way to query about a specific package (there likely is), but you can grep the output of the various show* subcommands to apt-mark | 13:42 |
| sakshi | bekks: I am trying this http://gl860.sourceforge.net/. But seems difficult. | 13:43 |
| jrib | tkeith: why do you care about this information by the way? | 13:43 |
| tkeith | jrib: Ok thanks, I've got aptitude but I don't understand the output. I'm trying to figure out why unattended-upgrades is installed. Here's the "aptitude why unattended-upgrades" output: http://pastebin.com/iDaPAwiV | 13:43 |

| jrib | tkeith: if you've established the package was intsalled as a dependency you can also do: apt-cache rdepends unattended-upgrades | 13:46 |

| cactuswizard | i don't think so | 13:50 |

| Ice_Strike | gvo OpenVz on centOS... running Ubuntu as VM | 13:54 |
| mrrcp | cactuswizard: you using it on a direct install or virtbox? | 13:54 |

| HelloWorld3211 | Is there a way to use SSH to tell gedit to save its buffers? (my desktop is frozen, but SSH works) | 13:54 |
| gvo | You can't run modprobe on a container, i.e. Ubuntu | 13:54 |
| jrib | Ice_Strike: on ubuntu's kernels, fuse gets compiled in I believe | 13:55 |
| gvo | Ice_Strike: You don't have a kernel in a OpenVz container | 13:55 |
| gvo | jrib: there is no ubuntu kernel present on his machine, however. | 13:55 |
| Ice_Strike | so what I do? | 13:55 |
| jrib | <not an ubuntu issue> | 13:56 |

| Ice_Strike | so I need to enable fuse from OpenVz? | 13:56 |
| Ice_Strike | yea | 13:56 |

| Ice_Strike | What is fuse? | 14:00 |
| gvo | user space file system. | 14:00 |
| gvo | It's a way of letting a normal user define and mount filesystems. That's a bad explanation but the best I can come up with. | 14:02 |
| Ice_Strike | I get the point :) thanks. | 14:02 |
| gvo | The filesystems aren't your normal ext4, etc. | 14:02 |

| m1chael | 12.04. is there a way i can do this without downloading ubuntu 12.04? | 14:03 |
| gvo | OK there is a fuse app called sshfs. | 14:03 |
| gvo | I can do a sshfs jim@example.com mylocaldirectory | 14:04 |
| Ice_Strike | cool | 14:04 |
| gvo | well, more like: sshfs jim@example.com:/tmp mylocaldirectory | 14:04 |

| Ice_Strike | I want to backup data but it got be encrypted | 14:04 |
| gvo | And now I've got local access to the /tmp on example.com | 14:04 |
| jrib | Ice_Strike: you can always just encrypt the file and not use an encrypted filesystem for that | 14:05 |
| gvo | Ice_Strike: encrypt it on the fly or before you write it to another system. | 14:05 |
| Ice_Strike | its thousands of files. | 14:06 |
| jrib | Ice_Strike: create a single one (tar.gz for example). Duplicity does this all automatically | 14:06 |
| Ice_Strike | 300GB :P | 14:06 |
| bwayne | +1 for the suggested use of duplicity | 14:07 |
| gvo | +2 for duplicity | 14:07 |

| editheraven | I am helping a friend for a school project and the teacher wants to be prompted to log as root | 14:17 |
| zykotick9 | editheraven: then use something other then ubuntu... | 14:17 |
| ikonia | editheraven: then why are you helping him if a.) it's a school project b.) you don't know how to do it yourself | 14:17 |
| ikonia | editheraven: the correct function would be to use sudo or run the scrpit from root | 14:18 |

| Synth_ | What should I do? I got the drivers from canon | 14:25 |
| jrib | editheraven: if you want an explanation as to why your script seems to pause, it's because you've started a new shell and that shell is going to stay open doing what a shell does (reading and executing commands) until you exit out. You shouldn't use sudo bash. If you ever do need a root shell, you can use « sudo -i » instead. But this is also not what you want for your script. | 14:25 |

| nabblet | if verfied, i'll file a bug | 14:38 |
| nabblet | i get up to 50% CPU usage from Xorg and 25% CPU usage from baobao | 14:38 |

| zykotick9 | denker: ftp is a port/firewall nightmare... ftp must die. | 14:39 |
| HelloWorld3211 | is "sudo service lightdm restart" supposed to work via SSH? | 14:40 |
| denker | :zykotick9 I need to transfer some files doh :( | 14:40 |
| zykotick9 | denker: try ssh(scp) as a secure alternative. | 14:40 |
| Sicno | hi, how do I set acpi=off at boot time? on the live session I had to use that option in order to boot, otherwise I got an error | 14:40 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | zykotick9, i've installed xserver-xorg-lts-precise because i need xorg version 1.11 | 14:40 |
| zykotick9 | denker: AND changing ssh's port is easy ;) ftp has MANY ports involved. | 14:41 |
| denker | :zykotick9 can I run that from the linux terminal? | 14:41 |
| denker | im running ubuntu server | 14:41 |
| Sicno | now that I installed it I'm not sure how to set that option at boot time for it to proceed with the normal boot | 14:41 |
| zykotick9 | denker: yes. ssh will include scp support. | 14:41 |
| denker | :zykotick9 thanks will try that | 14:42 |
| zykotick9 | rafaelsoaresbr: what does xserver-xorg-lts-precise have in common with kernel version? | 14:42 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | zykotick9, i want to install fglrx, but I need Xorg 1.11 and kernel 3.8.0-29 | 14:43 |
| zykotick9 | rafaelsoaresbr: ahhh, well good luck. don't reply to me further. | 14:43 |

| Synth_ | please help me i just bought a canon mp 287 all in one printer and i got the drivers from canon's website and when i try to check the ink levels it shows me the marker levels are not reported on this printer | 15:15 |
| kostkon | akshay2000, they have changed some of the packages. i was prompted to do a partial upgrade and everything went fine | 15:15 |
| Synth_ | help please | 15:15 |
| akshay2000 | kostkon: Partially upgrade exactly what? What do you leave and what do you install? | 15:15 |
| Synth_ | wow seriously no help? | 15:16 |
| kostkon | akshay2000, it's automatic | 15:16 |
| kostkon | !patience | Synth_ | 15:16 |
| ubottu | Synth_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ | 15:16 |
| akshay2000 | Let me try, kostkon | 15:16 |
| bwayne | Synth_: it may be that the OS doesn't support the communication protocol of that information. | 15:16 |
| Synth_ | 12.04 | 15:16 |
| bwayne | Synth_: I've found that functionality rarely works. | 15:18 |
| jp_hranice | nabblet: Now my facebook side fail on chromium due low mem. I got 2GB RAM | 15:18 |
| Synth_ | so how would i know if im low on ink? | 15:18 |
| bwayne | Synth_: the printed documents will lack the ink. | 15:18 |
| nabblet | jp_hranice: sound's like a memory leak to me | 15:19 |
| nabblet | jp_hranice: but i am no expert | 15:19 |
| nabblet | jp_hranice: try midori ? | 15:19 |
| Synth_ | well thats a deag | 15:19 |
| Synth_ | drag | 15:19 |
| bwayne | Synth_: and I've found that those levels reported are underestimated. There's typically more ink than those levels indicate. | 15:19 |
| akshay2000 | Synth_, looks like the hard way it is! | 15:19 |
| Synth_ | Well thats not cool | 15:20 |
| bwayne | Synth_: and this information is usually displayed on the printer itself. | 15:20 |
| akshay2000 | kostkon, I just purged the ubuntu-sdk-team. What do I do now? | 15:20 |
| akshay2000 | Add it again? | 15:20 |
| kostkon | akshay2000, yes, i.e. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-sdk | 15:21 |
| akshay2000 | bwayne: Older printers don't have anything except annoying LEDs! | 15:21 |
| kostkon | akshay2000, eh sorry, i meant: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-sdk | 15:21 |
| akshay2000 | kostkon: So, shouldn't I add the PPA first? | 15:21 |
| bwayne | akshay2000: well, Synth_'s appears to be new. And if you have an old version, do they even report ink levels? | 15:22 |
| kostkon | akshay2000, yes, my fault | 15:22 |
| akshay2000 | Oh, right! Got it. | 15:22 |
| akshay2000 | bwayne: Can't say! I had an old one - with a huge printer port. It could report ink levels to the software it came with. | 15:23 |
| bwayne | I guess Synth left. Found from a google search. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man1/escputil.1.html | 15:24 |
| akshay2000 | bwayne: You, he left! | 15:24 |
| bwayne | It's amazing what Google can do. I'm foolish to assume people Google before entering the chan. | 15:24 |
| KeyboardNotFound | I have not formated partition on disk, can i format it to linux-swap and to use it as swap after installing ubuntu ? | 15:25 |
| bwayne | akshay2000: whatever | 15:25 |
| bwayne | akshay2000: my contributions were always couched in 'perhaps'. | 15:25 |
| akshay2000 | kostkon: Nope! Still the same error. That package is not installable. | 15:26 |
| kostkon | akshay2000, hmm | 15:26 |
| kostkon | akshay2000, then wait for a couple of hours and try again. try in regular intervals. it should me temporary | 15:27 |
| akshay2000 | kostkon: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/ubuntu_sdk_release/raring/main/base/qtcreator-plugin-ubuntu-cordova | 15:28 |
| akshay2000 | kostkon: The link says that it has been deleted. | 15:28 |
| akshay2000 | kostkon: Looks like someone took it down for maintenance or something? Or maybe, someone screwed up! :D | 15:29 |
| kostkon | akshay2000, then we will have to wait to update the deps on the other packages | 15:29 |
| akshay2000 | Hopefully, that will solve it, kostkon. | 15:29 |
| kostkon | akshay2000, yeah, just keep trying | 15:29 |
| bee | hi guys, ive been banging my head against my desk for the last few hours trying to get a simple directory share going on my network. i | 15:30 |
| bee | *ive got ubuntu on my desktop, and i want to share a directory over the lan to my raspbian based pi | 15:30 |
| jrib | bee: right click -> share | 15:30 |
| akshay2000 | KeyboardNotFound: You should be able to do that. | 15:30 |
| bee | ive been trying to get samba share running, but with no luck | 15:30 |
| jrib | bee: does it have to be over nfs? | 15:31 |
| akshay2000 | KeyboardNotFound: Why do you need swap at all, by the way? | 15:31 |
| KeyboardNotFound | akshay2000, I have only 1 gb ram :( | 15:31 |
| bee | jrib, ive heard nfs is the best way to do it, but im quite a noob when it comes to these things | 15:31 |
| jrib | bee: if samba is ok, then you can just right click on the directory and share it | 15:31 |
| akshay2000 | KeyboardNotFound: I see! Well, yeah, you should be able to do that. | 15:32 |
| jrib | bee: that should work unless you have a firewall rule blocking it | 15:32 |
| === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob | ||
| KeyboardNotFound | akshay2000, how you see that i have only 1 gb ram ? :P | 15:32 |
| akshay2000 | KeyboardNotFound: Don't expect the RAM like performance, though. | 15:32 |
| bee | jrib, hmm, it could be the firewall that's borking it actually - just got myself a new belkin router, im not too familiar with it | 15:32 |
| akshay2000 | KeyboardNotFound: I saw it after you wrote it! :P | 15:32 |
| KeyboardNotFound | akshay2000, haha :) | 15:33 |
| KeyboardNotFound | akshay2000, thank yo uvery much | 15:33 |
| jrib | bee: you should be able to see the share locally over samba on the machine you're sharing from I think | 15:33 |
| akshay2000 | bee: What's the problem exactly? | 15:33 |
| akshay2000 | bee: Try to do is using CLI. | 15:33 |
| akshay2000 | bee: What does testparm -s say? | 15:33 |
| bee | one sec, im just re-installing samba to see if that will help - i may have borked my config ;) | 15:34 |
| bee | and, ofc, have to restart - brb! | 15:34 |
| bee | akshay2000, jrib this is the error im getting 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "bee" to a SID. NT_STATUS_NONE_MAPPED. | 15:35 |
| jrib | bee: you're getting this error when you do what? | 15:35 |
| bee | when i try to share the folder using the method you suggested - right click, sharing options | 15:36 |
| jrib | bee: and is this the full output? | 15:36 |
| bee | yea | 15:36 |
| akshay2000 | bee: really, do it manuall by editing smb.conf | 15:36 |
| akshay2000 | Much less of an headache. | 15:36 |
| akshay2000 | Also, bee, just check out any tutorial for RPi and samba and follow the procedure on your desktop. | 15:37 |
| jrib | bee: you're using the default smb.conf? | 15:37 |
| bee | akshay2000, i have been doing, but with zilch success. i follow everything and it says "you should now be able to browse your share" and ofc i cant! | 15:37 |
| akshay2000 | You may need to add user to smb explicitly. | 15:38 |
| neyder_ | have anyone installed in preseed way an oem lot? | 15:38 |
| akshay2000 | Tutorial at howtogeek helped me. | 15:38 |
| bee | akshay2000, ill give that one a look and see if i can reset my smb.conf | 15:39 |
| bee | akshay2000, turns out the tutorial i was following was the howtogeek one | 15:40 |
| HypnotiX | Hello, does anyone know a good guide to install windows next to my existing ubuntu | 15:41 |
| jrib | bee: with a default smb.conf, right clicking should work. Maybe you need to be in the "sambashare" group too, but I'm not sure. Ensure these two things are true. | 15:42 |
| Ari-Yang | HypnotiX, I can google for you and find countless guides, so you should do so, google around. | 15:42 |
| HypnotiX | well i thought there was a best guide that you can guys can link me too :) | 15:43 |
| bee | jrib, thanks, i shall give a fresh conf a go | 15:43 |
| bee | is nfs any easier to set up? | 15:44 |
| jrib | bee: this is easy to set up | 15:44 |
| jrib | bee: it's right click -> share | 15:44 |
| bee | oki, well, guess to get a fresh conf i have to uninstall, reboot and reinstall | 15:44 |
| bee | cause just reinstalling didn't give me a default config | 15:44 |
| bwayne | HypnotiX: you can always just resize your partitions via gparted (or others) and then simply install Windows. Install EasyBCD, add the Ubuntu Partition. | 15:45 |
| P_Kable | Hello | 15:45 |

| jrib | SteveBell: what is your question? | 15:53 |
| SteveBell | so if I want to autostart xbmc do I just enter xbmc? | 15:53 |
| bwayne | SteveBell: if you use Unity: http://askubuntu.com/questions/48321/how-do-i-start-applications-automatically-on-login | 15:54 |
| jrib | SteveBell: sure, but I'd recommend giving the full path. You want to start the xbmc program as soon as your user logs in? | 15:54 |
| SteveBell | y | 15:54 |
| SteveBell | it's all I use that netbook for so every startup should launch it | 15:54 |
| jrib | SteveBell: ok | 15:55 |
| bwayne | SteveBell: there's also ~/.config/autostart from command line. The link I provided above shows an example of an entry. | 15:55 |
| SteveBell | ok just using the application name seems to work fine | 15:56 |
| SteveBell | it would be much more intuitive, if the user where presented with a list of applications instead of a command (that is if ubuntu wants to go mainstream of course) | 15:57 |

| jhave | and remove all databases ? | 16:06 |
| jhave | I have removed my root user :( | 16:07 |
| jrib | jhave: purge the relevant packages (you probably need to purge one of it's dependencies (maybe the one with "common" in the name)) and then reinstall | 16:07 |
| jrib | jhave: what do you mean by "I have removed my root user"? | 16:07 |
| jhave | jrib, i have removed it by a fail :( | 16:07 |
| jrib | jhave: what is "it"? | 16:07 |

| jrib | denker: what is "it"? | 16:11 |
| denker | jrib the command prompt. mu ubuntu machine is connected to windows | 16:12 |
| jrib | denker: install the openssh-client package on your ubuntu machine | 16:12 |

| akshay20002 | jhave: Wouldn't matter. Subjective. | 16:13 |
| denker | jrib: nvm | 16:13 |
| gnuweb | jhave depends on what your needs are | 16:14 |
| OerHeks | jhave mint is slower. | 16:14 |
| jrib | Dacs: bootchart shows the boot taking 50s, is that correct? | 16:14 |
| grendal-prime | like newer release testing or something? | 16:14 |

| grendal-prime | sounds like there nameing convintion. | 16:18 |
| antz | its not using /etc/resolv.conf | 16:18 |
| akshay20002 | awaad: networkmanager has it's own stuff. | 16:18 |

| imnichol | If I've got my entire HDD encrypted, is there a way to access the files if I mount my HDD on another computer? | 16:21 |

| antz | grendal-prime, yeah that would be super nice if they had that | 16:30 |
| antz | i might go with intel nuc over RPi | 16:30 |
| imnichol | antz, No, but I'm about to make a potentially destructive change, and I want to make sure I can get at my data if my system won't boot | 16:30 |
| grendal-prime | i prefer to call it a filer, but i have them do all the auth and perms on the same device. | 16:31 |

| LinuxGold | I remmy doing that back in old days -- forgot what utility was used | 16:35 |
| grendal-prime | Sicno, thats a feature not a bug. | 16:35 |
| jrib | denker: so now you have an ssh server on both the windows machine and on ubuntu? | 16:35 |
| antz | imnichol not quite sure. just decrypt them????? | 16:35 |
| Sicno | it's not my own pc, it's for an old lady. And sorry but no kidding matter. | 16:35 |

| jrib | Dacs: don't know | 16:35 |
| jrib | denker: well you can use something like wincscp on windows now to interact with the ubuntu ssh server | 16:36 |
| grendal-prime | Sicno, http://askubuntu.com/questions/125844/shutdown-does-not-power-off-computer | 16:36 |

| grendal-prime | Sicno, does it have nvidia video? | 16:37 |
| denker | :jrib I have tried winscp, but can't get it to the machine only to esxi | 16:37 |
| jrib | denker: you're introducing something new now; before there was just a windows machine and an ubuntu machine | 16:37 |
| Sicno | I'm not sure but I think it's intel | 16:38 |
| antz | denker: openvpn! ssh tunnel! | 16:38 |
| denker | yeah, my ubuntu server machine is on my esxi computer | 16:38 |
| grendal-prime | Sicno, try the shutdown from command line | 16:39 |
| grendal-prime | see what sort of output you get | 16:39 |
| denker | :antz okey will look into that. never thought I would have so much trubble tranfering some files | 16:39 |

| jrib | denker: you need to get into the situation where you can actually establish an ssh connection from one machine to another | 16:41 |
| antz | well denker, let me ask you this. winscp uses which port? | 16:41 |
| grendal-prime | 22 it uses the same port as ssh | 16:42 |
| grendal-prime | it is ssh.. | 16:42 |
| antz | scp uses ssh? | 16:42 |
| grendal-prime | its file transmission over ssh | 16:42 |
| grendal-prime | yes | 16:42 |
| antz | then prob the firewall isnt open for ssh | 16:42 |
| Sicno | "poweroff" doesn't work | 16:42 |
| antz | some linux dont have it opened as default | 16:42 |
| grendal-prime | none of the distros have the server installed by default now ither | 16:43 |
| grendal-prime | you have to apt-get install ssh-server | 16:43 |
| denker | :antz but I have no problem connecting to my server with winscp. I can transfer files but not into my virtual machine, or I dosen't know how. | 16:43 |
| antz | yeah | 16:43 |

| Sicno | grendal-prime: if by f1 you mean if I was running the terminal yes I was. If you mean I have to summon the terminal in a particular way then I don't know | 16:49 |
| grendal-prime | Sicno, if you run that from a windowed terminal that is the same as slecting the shutdown from a button. now.. there are 6 terminals you can use outside of the X | 16:50 |
| mcl0vin | it does not show which X you are using | 16:50 |
| grendal-prime | (ctrl +alt) while holding them down press the F1 key | 16:51 |
| grendal-prime | you will dropx and have a pure terminal. | 16:51 |
| grendal-prime | black screen....and just so you knwo..to get back to the desktop do the sam thing but use F7 | 16:51 |
| grendal-prime | once you have droped to that pure terminal..run that command it should show you the entire shutdown as its happening. | 16:52 |
| grendal-prime | if it hangs..you should see why it is haning cause it will stop there. | 16:52 |
| bwayne | i think i've been bozoed. | 16:53 |

| grendal-prime | denker, if you ant access to the guests, then you need to A create a bridged network that will put them on the same network as the host(probably pretty easy) B set up source nating that will direct traffic on spcific ports to guest machines on the inside. (more complicated and im not sure how to do ip forwarding with windows..or source natting...or...well alot of other stuff) | 16:55 |

| grendal-prime | windows is kinda...well actually very stupid when it comes to those sorts of things. | 16:56 |
| grendal-prime | something else..if the guest is ubuntu...or just linux and you are trying to scp to it you will need to have ssh-server installed on it. | 16:56 |

| denker | grendal-prime: scp command | 16:58 |
| grendal-prime | personally denker if you are doing this to learn vitualization i would go with virutal box...or better (for server environments) KVM but..you realy need to study up on network design cause this will requre some serious basic understanding of whats envolved with that. | 16:58 |

| oskurot | Ben64: thanks | 17:46 |
| sudormrf_ | ... and, yes, I am using the 64 bit version. | 17:46 |
| minetape | why does server have to be much smaller? | 17:46 |

| kostkon | minetape, you cain install one afterwards | 17:48 |

| SupaYoshi | Hi ive got a question regarding apache2 and php. :) I had an old server and I ran Apache2 and Php as user www-data, now my directory was owned by root, since i used sudo apt-get install to install them.. I forgot how to change the users to www-data. Also, I want to run my phpmyadmin as https | 17:48 |
| kostkon | minetape, host or play? | 17:48 |
| minetape | both | 17:48 |
| Ben64 | then you might as well get the desktop version | 17:49 |
| SupaYoshi | But when i forced ssl in my phpmyadmin it didnt work anymore. so i had to undo it. | 17:49 |
| kostkon | minetape, then you would need to install a desktop environment | 17:49 |
| sudormrf_ | oskurot: The bios, though is InsydeH20 Setup utility -- so it does not give me the option to disable fast boot and whatnot :-/ | 17:49 |
| minetape | downloading it now | 17:49 |
| SupaYoshi | Im quite unsure on how to do it again all. does anybody have some help or a good link? | 17:49 |
| kostkon | minetape, yeah just get the desktop version | 17:49 |

| SupaYoshi | how would i do that? :O | 18:40 |
| sha1sum | SupaYoshi: sorry, by "change the cert" I really mean "reissue the cert" | 18:40 |
| Fyodorovna | dtcrshr, I would start with a sum check of the iso | 18:40 |
| SupaYoshi | sha1sum, sure :D But how would that help? | 18:41 |
| SupaYoshi | I didnt change the hostname of the server, just when i type hostname | 18:41 |
| sha1sum | The cert should have the FQDN | 18:41 |
| SupaYoshi | When i type hostname i get HOMESRV. When i type hostname -fqn i get HOMESRV.lan | 18:42 |
| SupaYoshi | the cert was created using a command from console without changing hostname >< | 18:42 |

| cowbacon | AcidRain2012: i think you need to restrict usage of chmod for your sudo users, i.e. tweak sudoers and only allow the sudo users access to specific utilities | 18:45 |
| AcidRain2012 | no no. i want to block all sudoers (including myself, which im the only one) from running chmod on "/" specifically | 18:46 |
| SupaYoshi | sha1sum, im on ubuntu | 18:46 |
| SupaYoshi | this seems to be for windows server | 18:46 |
| cowbacon | AcidRain2012: don't think thats possible unless you create your own chmod script that first checks if the folder being targeted is / else send the command to the real chmod | 18:47 |

| SinnerNyx | for an upstart service I created I run 'sudo stop njs'... This just blocks on the console until I ctrl+C. Any ideas why? Do I need to do something in the upstart to indicate how to kill the process? | 18:51 |
| ChogyDan | SinnerNyx: is this your own upstart script? | 18:51 |
| === dean|away is now known as dean | ||
| SinnerNyx | ChogyDan: Yes. | 18:51 |
| ChogyDan | SinnerNyx: yeah, I think you have to have a stop section, with the commands to run | 18:52 |
| cowbacon | SinnerNyx: if i remember correctly sudo isn't working correctly in rc and upstard because it needs a tty. it should be run as root anyway | 18:52 |
| cowbacon | atleast that was how it was for me when i added a script to rclocal | 18:52 |
| sha1sum | Anybody experience static through Chrome (not Chromium), but only over an HDMI output interface? | 18:53 |
| sha1sum | (or even if you don't and have a solution) | 18:53 |
| SinnerNyx | cowbacon: So I should sudo su, first and then just run the stop line alone? | 18:53 |
| mayhew | SinnerNyx: if your process doesn't run in the foreground, you need to add an "expect" clause depending on if it forks or daemonizes. http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#expect | 18:53 |
| SinnerNyx | mayhew: I have a expect fork. | 18:53 |
| SinnerNyx | ChogyDan: I'll look up stop stanzas now | 18:54 |
| cowbacon | SinnerNyx: unless i missunderstood you the service should already be running as root so you won't need sudo | 18:54 |
| cowbacon | and for me, i had to remove sudo from my upstart script because it gave an error saying sudo needed a tty | 18:54 |
| MRNV | SinnerNyx: I suply cowbacon, some command need to start with sudo su first, or use root console if you have xfce or debian | 18:55 |

| harris | sha1sum, any tips | 18:58 |
| arvut | ahh.. inetd | 18:58 |
| ChogyDan | harris: I changed how the dash appeared, made it fade in without the slide, and that seemed faster | 18:58 |

| Sicno | following the debugging guide I mentioned before they key part should be "the issue is in the ACPI table parsing code itself, or perhaps the SMP code". What does that mean? | 19:16 |
| sha1sum | Sicno: with acpi=off, does it shut down but not power off? | 19:17 |
| ubuntu_studio | fdfd | 19:18 |
| Sicno | sha1sum: it does seem to close everything nicely, it just doesn't power off at the end. Especially considering the pc does reboot, but turning it off stays at the ubuntu logo with white dots forever | 19:18 |
| cowbacon | sha1sum: thats what my server does. is there any easy way to fix that? | 19:18 |

| tsimpson | emmet: nothing, it will pull in all the standard packages the normal ubuntu install has | 19:23 |

| emmet | Sicno: ctrl+alt+FB | 19:27 |

| crypticmofo | hi all .. i have a question .. i have a lenova twist its a ultrabook that has the mouse in the middle of the keyboard trackpad whatever .. problem is when i was using the live dvd the mouse was fine .. when i installed ubuntu the mouse stuttered and it didn't act right .. is there a fix for this ? | 19:39 |
| bneg | crypticmofo: define stutter | 19:40 |
| crypticmofo | i move the mouse to lets say resize a window | 19:40 |
| sha1sum | bneg: I think he means "st-st-st-stutt-stutter" | 19:40 |
| sha1sum | lol | 19:40 |
| crypticmofo | and when i go to resize it the mouse jumps | 19:40 |
| crypticmofo | lol | 19:40 |
| crypticmofo | you know what i mean | 19:40 |
| bneg | crypticmofo: "resize"? | 19:41 |
| Sicno | "no such file or directory" (I'm in the live session by the way, since it behaves exactly the same as the installed one and if I change a parameter that would make it unbootable it won't affect the live disc) | 19:41 |

| bruce_wayne | :/ | 19:45 |
| sha1sum | yofun: should be enough... at what *speed* is the question. | 19:46 |
| sha1sum | RAM is cheap now. | 19:46 |
| yofun | sha1sum: yea. true | 19:47 |
| kostkon | yofun, not enough. it is going to swap like crazy | 19:47 |
| yofun | sha1sum: just fixing up a old computer for web and music | 19:47 |

| Sicno | sha1sum: maybe the file is named in a different way? | 19:47 |
| kostkon | yofun, try lubuntu not vanilla ubuntu | 19:48 |
| yofun | yea. I have this other old computer that I probbaly can pull ram from...maybe. | 19:48 |

| gordonjcp | nothing wrong with Newkie, for a low-cost mass-produced beer | 19:52 |
| yofun | ah (didnt know it was a band of beer) | 19:53 |
| yofun | brand* | 19:53 |
| sha1sum | gordonjcp: yeah the "low cost" part is why I'm drinking it... We have a really awesome brown ale here in the Tampa Bay area called Cigar City Maduro | 19:53 |
| sha1sum | it's actually not that much more money but I don't feel like driving 30 blocks to go get it. | 19:53 |
| sha1sum | which is sad. | 19:54 |
| sha1sum | (both that I don't have it and won't drive 30 blocks) | 19:54 |
| sha1sum | So I guess what I'm saying is that it's really the "mass-produced" part that's the reason I'm drinking it. | 19:55 |

| kostkon | Sicno, oh ok | 20:11 |
| Sicno | it reboots ok, it seems to close everything ok at shutdown, it just doesn't power off and hangs out there forever | 20:11 |

| Skyrell | hello | 20:27 |
| kostkon | emmet, what version of ubuntu is it? | 20:27 |
| wilee-nilee | Lecter, It is considered rude to ask for help without being addressed. | 20:28 |

| bruce_wayne | ubotto dear friend..fuck you from the bottom of my hart.. | 20:28 |

| kostkon | emmet, not idea then :/ | 20:28 |
| kostkon | no* | 20:28 |
| mohit | ubottu but still you can try .. cause i dint know anything about ubuntu.. | 20:29 |
| ubottu | mohit: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 20:29 |
| guntbert | Lecter: what wilee-nilee probably wanted to say: don't target one person with your question, put your problem to the channel, if anyone knows how to help they will answer | 20:29 |
| Lecter | thanks for explaining it guntbert | 20:30 |
| wilee-nilee | mohit, All I can do is show you the link, I have not had to mess with wifi drivers, if you can plug in the Ethernet do that, the link explains your situation if you look close. | 20:30 |
| AcidRain2012 | mohit, u r talking to a bot. what question do you have? | 20:30 |
| wilee-nilee | I said what I felt If the user had actually read the posts that info was already there. | 20:31 |
| mohit | wilee-nilee, i dont have a wired connection .. so unable to download them :( | 20:31 |
| Lecter | so is there someone who crossnetworked with windows machines a bit here? | 20:31 |
| AcidRain2012 | mohit, do you have an android phone? | 20:31 |
| AcidRain2012 | or a laptop? | 20:32 |
| mohit | AcidRain2012 , cant use my wifi | 20:32 |
| mohit | laptop | 20:32 |
| sys9p | hello. im currently in step of installing ubuntu 10:10. i'm courius how to check if hd is used as sata drive native or sata in ide mode. is it possible via /sys/ ? | 20:32 |
| AcidRain2012 | hook 1 laptop to the other laptop, use it as a bridge from the router | 20:32 |
| bekks | Lecter: Why? | 20:32 |
| wilee-nilee | sys9p, 10.10 id end of life and not supported install 12.04 or after | 20:32 |
| wilee-nilee | is* | 20:32 |
| themanwithnoface | wilee-nilee: any epxerience with this "Could not mount dev/mapper/cryptswap1" | 20:32 |
| guntbert | Lecter: a tip from the sideline: ask your real question in one line (no <enter> in between) and prepare for patience - repeating every 10-12 minutes is ok | 20:33 |
| sys9p | wilee-nilee: i know that :) | 20:33 |
| mohit | AcidRain2012 , i am new to ubuntu, this is my first time .. i saw a video over youtube and able to use my wifi in live mode.. but after complete install i cant use my wifi like before | 20:33 |
| wilee-nilee | sys9p, Then why are you asking? | 20:33 |
| === sarah is now known as sarahm | ||
| AcidRain2012 | mohit, i am aware of this. so do you have a solution? | 20:33 |
| sys9p | because it-s linux base related Q not distribution. | 20:34 |
| mohit | AcidRain2012 no | 20:34 |
| wilee-nilee | sys9p, and easy to figure out. | 20:34 |
| sys9p | ok. so i cat'ed /sys/block/sda/device/queue_depth. so i think it is in native sata mode | 20:35 |

| mohit | AcidRain2012 can i download these driever to different computer and then use in ubuntu via usb drive ? | 20:42 |
| AcidRain2012 | mohit, yes. make backups of everything first. because the link i gave you is for a different chipset | 20:43 |
| mohit | ok | 20:43 |
| AcidRain2012 | mohit, BUT, it may work for you. i was using a different version of some modules for an older chipset i had. it worked for me | 20:43 |

| nabblet | *openbox | 21:06 |
| emmet | so how can I configure a task bar for my windows...I notice after I min firefox its gone :p | 21:06 |
| nabblet | emmet: there are very good tutorials on openbox | 21:06 |
| Dr_Willis | !dock | 21:06 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu includes several dock-like navigation bars. Some options are: avant-window-navigator, cairo-dock, docky (formerly part of gnome-do), stalonetray, simdock, kdocker, kooldock. | 21:06 |
| reisio | emmet: try installing tint2 and running it | 21:06 |
| nabblet | emmet: i don't know if openbox has it's own task bar | 21:06 |
| Dr_Willis | roll your own desktop. Pick a WM. pick a panel, or dock if you want, pick a file manager. ;) | 21:06 |
| emmet | reisio: whats tint2? | 21:07 |
| Dr_Willis | openbox does not have a panel. you use its menus to launch things. | 21:07 |
| nabblet | emmet: if you want to try, use fluxbox - it is a child of openbox and brings taskbars with it | 21:07 |
| reisio | emmet: a task bar | 21:07 |
| Dr_Willis | fluxbox does have a basic panel i belive | 21:07 |
| nabblet | emmet: i use fluxbox - it has a taskbar and a panel | 21:07 |
| raven | how to embed root/ssh passwords into a mount script? | 21:08 |
| nabblet | so you get a list of windows and the icons for all your stuff | 21:08 |
| nabblet | raven: for ssh best use key files | 21:08 |
| nabblet | raven: don't know for root | 21:08 |
| epsilonorion | This question is mainly in regards to vmware application, but I think it is an ubuntu issue. After installing Ubuntu in the vm, I first had an issue where my forward and backward mouse buttons won't working. I added the required additions to the vmx file, however, now I am getting a behavior where anytime the mouse comes to an edge I lose focus of the virtual machine. Anyone know if there is something in Ubuntu that could be causing | 21:08 |
| epsilonorion | this? Maybe an issue with the vmware-tools addition? If completely unrelated, I will wait to see if anyone on the vmware irc has an idea. | 21:08 |
| emmet | nabblet: so apt-get install fluxbox and it should show up at the login screen? | 21:09 |
| Dr_Willis | emmet: yes. Most window managers will add a item to that list | 21:09 |
| nabblet | emmet: yes | 21:09 |
| emmet | k. | 21:09 |
| reisio | epsilonorion: why wouldn't you lose focus? | 21:09 |
| qin | raven: why mounting as root on line fs is good idea? | 21:09 |
| raven | qin, not necessary | 21:10 |
| nabblet | emmet: what ubuntu are you using? | 21:10 |
| epsilonorion | reisio: the lose focus part is partially expected. Before the addition to the vmx file, if I moved the mouse towards the edge it would lose focus, but that was fine. After the addition, moving towards the edge at any time (even full screen), I lose focus. | 21:12 |
| dan123_ | daftykins: do you know by any chance how can I test if te scanner attached to the server works? | 21:12 |
| emmet | nabblet: 13.04 | 21:12 |
| emmet | nabblet: I just installed fluxbox im in it now | 21:12 |
| epsilonorion | Anytime I move towards the edge to click a button on unity, it loses focus. I then click on the screen to regain focus, my mouse jumps to the edge where I lost focus, I slightly move, and then sometimes lose focus again. Just annoying just to click a button | 21:12 |
| reisio | epsilonorion: dunno, might ask #vmware if nobody here knows a solution | 21:13 |
| epsilonorion | It just seems very glitchy | 21:13 |
| nabblet | emmet: | 21:13 |
| epsilonorion | I asked there, but only one person replied who did not seem to know this issue, thanks though | 21:13 |
| nabblet | apt-cache show fluxbox | grep Version | 21:13 |
| SupaYoshi | Hey guys, i got something installed thats for minecraft. and it says: Python library not found... | 21:13 |
| epsilonorion | just seems like a behavior that is not normal since it only acts this way after making the changes to the vmx file | 21:13 |
| SupaYoshi | However I have python... | 21:13 |
| SupaYoshi | Atleast as far as i know? | 21:14 |
| nabblet | emmet: i want to know what version of fluxbox you are running - please give me the output of the command i just told you | 21:14 |
| emmet | nabblet: lol im in tty irssi | 21:14 |
| nabblet | emmet: no problem, you can copy paste with middle mouse button | 21:15 |
| nabblet | emmet: just mark the info you want to copy - don't press anything else | 21:15 |
| nabblet | emmet: and then middle mous button. if you are on a laptop and don't have middle mouse butten, clicking left and right mousebutton at the same time will have the same effect | 21:15 |

| Dr_Willis | nabblet: yep. but you got to have the mouse-dexterity-kung-fu skills. ;) | 21:16 |
| Dr_Willis | most people dont even realize with the mouse wheel. you CAN click on it. | 21:17 |
| nabblet | Dr_Willis: well, on a laptop the mouse is right below the keyboard | 21:17 |
| Dr_Willis | emmet: install gpm and the mouse can work in the console. | 21:17 |

| emmet | ya. I figured that out :P | 21:22 |

| nabblet | emmet: that is was i use. fluxbox + kupfer | 21:22 |

| emmet | up to try anything | 21:23 |
| nabblet | emmet: it can find files for you, launch programs and all that. very fast and light weight | 21:23 |

| nabblet | well, then fluxbox is a good choice | 21:24 |
| emmet | and yea. then I rembered a long time ago someone said something about openbox | 21:24 |
| emmet | then you said fluxbox :P | 21:24 |
| emmet | then kupfer | 21:24 |
| nabblet | emmet: but don't forget - the main problem will be the applications. firefox and that | 21:24 |
| emmet | which im looking at them | 21:24 |
| emmet | firefox runs fine | 21:24 |
| emmet | it did on debian | 21:24 |
| emmet | whatever debian runs | 21:24 |

| nabblet | well, firefox is quite heavy, but if it does work well, then it's ok | 21:25 |
| nabblet | emmet: hm, but if your friend is new to linux, maybe give him lxde | 21:25 |
| nabblet | emmet: it will be near as fast as openbox, but your friend will not be loast | 21:25 |
| nabblet | *lost | 21:26 |
| emmet | what do I use for lxde? | 21:26 |
| emmet | I mean to get it. | 21:26 |

| emmet | but yea one I can teach the other one doesnt mess with computers at all. | 21:31 |
| nabblet | ah ok | 21:31 |
| nabblet | well, aim for lxde first - there is no point in haveing a fast interface, when they don't know how to use it ;) | 21:32 |
| nabblet | emmet: as i said, you don't need to get all that lubuntu-desktop stuff | 21:32 |
| nabblet | emmet: lxde alone will be fine too | 21:32 |
| nabblet | emmet: what cpu is inside that computer? | 21:33 |
| emmet | and sempron | 21:33 |
| nabblet | what frequencey? | 21:34 |
| emmet | AMD sempron 3---+ | 21:34 |
| bekks | emmet: Which one very exactly? | 21:34 |

| bekks | hmm. | 21:35 |
| tekonivel | oh dear, i wonder what has happened to my Unity; now it's a 2 minute wait every time i open the Dash, and alt-tab takes 1 minute | 21:35 |
| nabblet | emmet: about the lubuntu - did you install lubunut-desktop or did you download the lubuntu iso image? | 21:35 |
| Ubuntuuser1 | I posted my problem a while ago on AskUbuntu, but noone was able to respond | 21:35 |
| mrrcp | Ubuntuuser1: ? | 21:35 |
| mrrcp | what about window size | 21:36 |
| Ubuntuuser1 | for some reason my window shrinked to half of my laptop screen | 21:36 |
| bekks | Ubuntuuser1: Well, how about starting to ask your actual question? | 21:36 |
| tomektestowo | bekks: What? | 21:36 |
| Ubuntuuser1 | how can I restore it to normal full window size | 21:36 |
| bekks | tomektestowo: Did you read the wiki about the intel driver? | 21:36 |
| emmet | nabblet: lubuntu-desktop | 21:36 |
| bekks | Ubuntuuser1: Which window? | 21:36 |

| emmet | now this is in fluxbox | 21:40 |
| emmet | no more tty lol | 21:40 |
| === tilal6991|away is now known as tilal6991 | ||
| bekks | crypticmofo: disable your trackpad in the bios. | 21:40 |
| crypticmofo | oh | 21:40 |
| nabblet | emmet: ok, as i said. fluxbox alone will be scary for new users | 21:40 |
| crypticmofo | can i even do that ? | 21:40 |
| mrrcp | sure | 21:40 |
| nabblet | emmet: make life easy for them and give them kupfer | 21:40 |
| bekks | crypticmofo: Wedont know your bios. | 21:40 |
| mrrcp | you should be able to crypticmofo | 21:41 |
| nabblet | emmet: you can start kupfer with Ctrl+Space | 21:41 |
| nabblet | emmet: then you jsut type what you need and kupfer will provide ;) | 21:41 |
| emmet | how do I start kupfer | 21:41 |
| emmet | ? | 21:41 |
| crypticmofo | mrrcp: i will tell you how it goes .. im installing right now / all drivers aren't installed yet | 21:41 |
| emmet | I installed it | 21:41 |
| nabblet | emmet: ctrl+space | 21:41 |
| emmet | is it a desktop? | 21:41 |
| mrrcp | yea let me know please. | 21:41 |
| emmet | that does nothing. | 21:42 |
| tomektestowo | bekks: What wiki do you mean? | 21:42 |
| mrrcp | Ubuntuuser1: did you get it working? | 21:42 |
| nabblet | emmet: oh, open a terminal and type kupfer & | 21:42 |
| bekks | tomektestowo: The official ubuntu support site. | 21:42 |
| crypticmofo | bekks: can i get bios info from the termianl ? | 21:42 |
| bekks | crypticmofo: No. | 21:42 |
| nabblet | emmet: you will see a red icon when kupfer is started | 21:42 |
| crypticmofo | meh | 21:42 |
| emmet | ah. | 21:43 |
| crypticmofo | mrrcp one big thing about this twist it comes with windows 8 aka efi | 21:43 |
| emmet | so how do I make it start at start up? | 21:43 |
| tomektestowo | bekks: I was searching by google and found nothing. Even asking at ask.ubuntu.com - no answer. So I'm trying here. | 21:43 |
| crypticmofo | mrrcp: i had to disable secure boot and a lot of stuff o_O | 21:43 |
| nabblet | emmet: in ~/.fluxbox/startup ;) | 21:43 |
| bekks | crypticmofo: Thats nonsense. Windows 8 isnt known as EFI. They are totally different. | 21:43 |
| crypticmofo | well this one does | 21:43 |
| crypticmofo | bekks: oem | 21:43 |
| === jack is now known as Guest96959 | ||
| nabblet | emmet: there are three important file in ~/.fluxbox | 21:43 |
| crypticmofo | i didn't say it was known as efi bekks | 21:44 |
| crypticmofo | uefi ? | 21:44 |
| bekks | crypticmofo: Nope. Your computer may support EFI, but that has entirely nothing to do with Windows 8 being EFI. | 21:44 |
| mrrcp | crypticmofo: yea i had a issue with a dell.. IT was a pain | 21:44 |
| nabblet | emmet: keys - for keyboard shortcuts, init - for all the taskbar and window stuff and startup - for stuff to autostart | 21:44 |
| bekks | "0908 234257 < crypticmofo> mrrcp one big thing about this twist it comes with windows 8 aka efi" | 21:44 |
| crypticmofo | bekks: well i know if i don't have secure boot on and efi on then windows 8 won't boot | 21:44 |
| bekks | You actually did say it. | 21:44 |
| nabblet | emmet: if you endit startup - DON'T FORGET to put a & behind kupfer | 21:44 |
| crypticmofo | bekks: if i have legacy on then i can install ubuntu | 21:44 |
| emmet | exec kupfer correct? | 21:44 |
| emmet | exec kupfer & correct? | 21:45 |
| tgm4883 | *UEFI, not EFI | 21:45 |
| nabblet | yes | 21:45 |
| === peter is now known as Guest9992 | ||
| crypticmofo | thanks | 21:45 |
| bekks | crypticmofo: You can install Ubuntu on UEFI as well. | 21:45 |
| emmet | lets see | 21:45 |
| pinPoint | if I install from a PPA that is not yet part of ubuntu, whenever the new version comes in ubuntu ppa will the versions merge? | 21:46 |
| bekks | pinPoint: The latest version willbe installed, wherever it comes from. It may break dependencies and your system. | 21:47 |
| wilee-nilee | pinPoint, merge no, nor are ppa's supprted here. | 21:47 |
| tomektestowo | bekks: searching for "intel" in ubuntu documentation gives me in first link to my question at ask.ubuntu.com. So it's pointless... | 21:47 |
| bekks | tomektestowo: So whats the specific issue? | 21:48 |
| martinolsansky | hello, will TLP be updated to saucy once it is released? | 21:48 |
| bekks | martinolsansky: Whats TLP? | 21:49 |
| pinPoint | wilee-nilee: but ppa's are a part of ubuntu no? | 21:49 |
| bekks | pinPoint: No. | 21:49 |
| * pinPoint is confused. | 21:49 | |
| pinPoint | ok | 21:49 |
| tomektestowo | Should I install this drivers or no? I'm just curoius if it will give better performance than installed default one | 21:49 |
| tomektestowo | beks: | 21:49 |
| emmet | hmmm...lxde is pretty clean | 21:49 |
| nabblet | emmet: yes | 21:49 |
| emmet | and seems to run okay. | 21:49 |
| Ubuntuuser1 | I got to say this is really annoying, is anyone competent enough here to answer simple question about Ubuntu bug | 21:49 |
| SchrodingersScat | pinPoint: ppa is some random person giving you software | 21:49 |
| martinolsansky | bekks: http://www.webupd8.org/2013/04/improve-power-usage-battery-life-in.html | 21:49 |
| nabblet | emmet: i think it is more suitable for "non linux natives" | 21:49 |
| mrrcp | Ubuntuuser1: | 21:49 |
| emmet | (I was using lubuntu-desktop earlyer...thats slow on this machine) | 21:50 |
| mrrcp | did you check your display config | 21:50 |
| bekks | tomektestowo: No one can tell you yes or no. It is your choice. Installation will most likely be successful when you have the hardware supported by the driver you want to install. | 21:50 |
| nabblet | emmet: in my experience, lxde + ubuntu > lubuntu | 21:50 |
| emmet | nabblet: agreed | 21:50 |
| pinPoint | SchrodingersScat: so PPA, will not link up with ubuntu? looking at apache 2.4 | 21:50 |
| Ubuntuuser1 | why am I having my window only half-screen size and can not access the tool tab when browsing on the Net | 21:50 |
| Ubuntuuser1 | why this appeared ? | 21:50 |
| martinolsansky | pinPoint: what are you trying to do? | 21:50 |
| tgm4883 | pinPoint, your question "link up" doesn't make sense | 21:50 |
| tomektestowo | bekks: Ok, thank you. | 21:50 |
| SchrodingersScat | pinPoint: it's something you add at your own discretion, as bekks said. | 21:50 |

| Discordian93 | I installed the program "aseprite" but it can't save files for some reason | 22:11 |
| Discordian93 | it's from the official repo, it's bugged, how can i contact the mantainer of a package? | 22:12 |
| columb | I hate dealing with drivers. Default - high compiz cpu usage (no luck with solutions from google). Proprietary - fails to VESA after I tried my SSD on other machine. Now it's even keep falling from VESA to gallium. High cpu, visual bugs. :( | 22:12 |
| tgm4883 | Discordian93, have you tried filing a bug | 22:13 |
| Discordian93 | haven't had a single problem with drivers myself, been running this machine with ubuntu for almost two years and nvidia-altest works fine | 22:13 |

| Discordian93 | I dunno, I have tried saving on all different file formats, different resolutions, different sprites... | 22:16 |
| Discordian93 | no way to save anything | 22:16 |

| Dr_Willis | egads how old is aseprite. It looks like somthing from the 70's | 22:16 |
| Discordian93 | you can fullscreen it | 22:16 |
| Discordian93 | it's retro | 22:16 |
| Dr_Willis | i cant get it to fullscreen or even resize | 22:16 |

| Dr_Willis | cairo dock needs compositing enabled. What window manager are you having the issue with? | 22:30 |
| asafegous | Winfow manager? | 22:30 |
| asafegous | Window | 22:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Yes. the Window manager you using has to have the compositing feature for the transparency effects to work | 22:30 |
| asafegous | How do I change this | 22:31 |
| Dr_Willis | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compositing_window_manager | 22:31 |
| Dr_Willis | change what Exactly? give us details as to whats happening and when. | 22:31 |
| asafegous | I upgraded today and now no wallpaper | 22:32 |
| asafegous | Black | 22:32 |
| Dr_Willis | so you are meaning to say the 'cairo dock' session from Lightdm , is not showing the wallpaper? | 22:32 |
| chocolatemousse | morning ubuntu support channel | 22:33 |
| chocolatemousse | evening | 22:33 |
| chocolatemousse | afternoon :P | 22:33 |
| asafegous | yup | 22:33 |
| Dr_Willis | you can run cairo dock on any desktop session if you wanted to. I think it also adds in some minimal desktop that just runs the dock. I never use that session. | 22:33 |
| chocolatemousse | I had a really great idea for the support channel - an irc plugin for support tickets | 22:34 |
| chocolatemousse | So we can see who needs help with what and is being helped by whom | 22:34 |
| asafegous | Really | 22:34 |
| tgm4883 | chocolatemousse, OT, and I'm not sure why that would be a good thing | 22:34 |

| MonkeyDust | chocolatemousse ubuntu help forums do exist | 22:35 |
| Dr_Willis | chocolatemousse: and given the nature of the people in this room. many of us have to leave with out a moments notice. | 22:35 |
| Dr_Willis | chocolatemousse: and askubuntu.com is also very handy | 22:35 |
| chocolatemousse | Dr_Willis: exactly | 22:35 |
| Dr_Willis | exactly what? | 22:35 |
| green_geeky_dude | lol | 22:35 |

| === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away | ||
| Dr_Willis | when you get 1000+ people in a support room and the helopers can vanish at a moments notice in the middle of helping.. You really dont want to have to repeate everything to a new helper | 22:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Plus theres often differances/mistakes made that others can catch | 22:39 |
| chocolatemousse | Dr_Willis, well exactly | 22:39 |
| Vin0 | I updated my video card drivers and now it's booting me into a command line. how do i figure out where the problem is? | 22:39 |

| chocolatemousse | Again these are very good reasons to have ticketed irc support | 22:40 |
| Skunk8 | Is this just a support channel? | 22:40 |
| Dr_Willis | chocolatemousse: i dont see what a ticket will give us.. really. | 22:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Skunk8: yes basically. | 22:40 |
| chocolatemousse | Skunk8: yes | 22:40 |
| MonkeyDust | Skunk8 it is | 22:40 |
| Skunk8 | I see. | 22:40 |
| chocolatemousse | Dr_Willis, well, you obviously don't agree, but you've been helpful just the same :D | 22:41 |
| Skunk8 | Is there an Ubuntu discussion channel? General chat? | 22:41 |
| chocolatemousse | Skunk8: #ubuntu-offtopic | 22:41 |
| MonkeyDust | chocolatemousse i guess professional, paid suport has what you suggest here | 22:41 |
| Skunk8 | Thank you. | 22:41 |
| chocolatemousse | MonkeyDust, Oh, does a system like I suggest already exist in the paid support? | 22:41 |
| Dr_Willis | ive never really figured out what 'paid support' does :) are there people actually PAYING support fees to be told how to 'format a usb flash drive' or 'erase a cd-rw' and so forth? ;) | 22:42 |
| chocolatemousse | MonkeyDust, not general paid support, mind, Ubuntu paid support | 22:42 |
| chocolatemousse | Dr_Willis, well they pay someone presumably at Ubuntu I imagine to be their computer gremlin | 22:42 |
| MonkeyDust | chocolatemousse well, yes, i guess so | 22:42 |
| chocolatemousse | I.e. you or I can safely never come back to this channel if we don't want to | 22:43 |
| chocolatemousse | The Paid people can't. | 22:43 |
| chocolatemousse | But yeah I imagine they are basically paying for the free stuff you can get in here anyways. | 22:44 |
| MonkeyDust | chocolatemousse i guess every helpdesk or service has such ticketing system | 22:44 |
| MonkeyDust | service desk* | 22:44 |
| dtcrshr | whats the fastest / easy way to get back the grub after a windows install in a double system pc? | 22:44 |
| Dr_Willis | dtcrshr: live cd + that boot-repair tool can be handy | 22:44 |
| Dr_Willis | dtcrshr: or the boot-repair live cd. saves a step or 2 | 22:44 |
| Dr_Willis | !boot-repair | 22:44 |
| chocolatemousse | Also in here, you get random, uncredentialed people helping out, whereas with paid support they are official Ubuntu, so they presumably have some verified skills | 22:44 |
| Dr_Willis | !fixgrub | 22:44 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 22:44 |
| dtcrshr | thanks Dr_Willis ill try the boot repair cd to a usb stick | 22:45 |
| MonkeyDust | chocolatemousse that's why they're professional, they make a living out of it, we're just volunteers, we do this for fun | 22:45 |
| Dr_Willis | I have to 2onder what skills they would need for some of the amazingly obscure, obtuse, and downright WEIRD questions i see in here on a given day. ;) | 22:45 |
| chocolatemousse | MonkeyDust, exactly :) Although I don't think having tools to make our lives as volunteers easier is a bad thing. | 22:45 |
| === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan` | ||
| Dr_Willis | I belive we spent most of 3 hrs last night in here - helping a guy repartion and format a 4gb usb flash drive. ;) | 22:46 |
| chocolatemousse | Dr_Willis: lots and lots of patience. An hourly rate helps with the really stupid questions. ;) | 22:46 |
| dtcrshr | oh god, a 580mb cd with just this tool? | 22:46 |
| dtcrshr | Dr_Willis: with a ubuntu stick if I apt-get to install this boot-repair is it that huge? | 22:47 |
| Dr_Willis | 'tech support' for where i Work. is a company man comming into the factory and working with us - to fix some multi-million dollar machine.. Not 'format a usb disk' | 22:47 |
| Dr_Willis | dtcrshr: so use a live cd you allready have. | 22:47 |
| dtcrshr | I was wondering a 2mb maybe | 22:47 |
| dtcrshr | yeah.. ill do that thanks | 22:47 |
| Dr_Willis | hopefully boot-repair will get on the default desktop cd someday soon | 22:47 |
| chocolatemousse | Dr_Willis, right, but does that 'million' dollar machine run linux? | 22:47 |
| Dr_Willis | that boot-repair cd is a 32bit/64bit cd. and can also do some other tasks | 22:47 |
| chocolatemousse | And is he just reading a manual someone else wrote ;) | 22:48 |
| Dr_Willis | chocolatemousse: Im talking about Million Doller CNC machineing machines.. Not pc's | 22:48 |
| Dr_Willis | one 'crash' at work = 80,000$ in parts to fix. | 22:48 |
| chocolatemousse | Dr_Willis: well a bit off topic, but those CNC machines presumably have some embedded systems in them, some of which might be running embedded linux | 22:48 |
| dtcrshr | Dr_Willis: we have some sewing industrial machines here, mostly running embeded java / linux mashups | 22:48 |
| dtcrshr | im on brasil | 22:49 |
| Dr_Willis | 'support' was the guy showing us how to replace the Huge bit that was broken. and why it crashed in the first place. | 22:49 |
| Dr_Willis | but i bet we have a support 'contract' with the company that made the machine | 22:49 |
| chocolatemousse | Dr_Willis: may have some commercial systems in them as well, but again that amounts to someone reading someone else's manual and the FIXME routines located theirin. | 22:49 |
| tgm4883 | Dr_Willis, I'd imagine that paid ubuntu support is similar. eg. I've got some certified ubuntu hardware and this supported app keeps crashing | 22:49 |
| chocolatemousse | Dr_Willis, I mean, sheesh, you offer better support than most Indian Call-Centers, and you do it for free. | 22:50 |
| Dr_Willis | so i bet 99% of the questions in here would not be supported. because theya re not on the list of apps or hardware. | 22:50 |
| Dr_Willis | chocolatemousse: whats funny.. im in here giving 'support' WHile im at work most of the time.. (on standby to fix anything the breaks/crashes) ;P | 22:51 |
| tgm4883 | Dr_Willis, probably | 22:51 |
| chocolatemousse | Dr_Willis, whatever works :) | 22:51 |
| lone | hey | 22:52 |
| b166er | hello | 22:53 |
| b166er | does canonical have a room? | 22:55 |
| lone | I've downloaded multibootusb_6.4-1_all.deb and trying to install it but ubuntu software center show an error 'Dependency is not satisfiable:gambas3-runtime(>=3.0.90)' what can I do? | 22:55 |
| raub | tgm4883: AFAIK that is how the Redhat Support for their enterprise server works. Depending what you have that is not working, they will build a patch as needed. I was told of times they wrote drivers for their commercial customers before | 22:55 |
| lone | help me. | 22:55 |
| raub | I assume canonical commercial support is right up to that level | 22:55 |
| tgm4883 | raub, I would assume so as well | 22:56 |
| b166er | does anyone know how I can donate to canonical | 22:56 |
| tgm4883 | b166er, I think there are donation links on the download page | 22:56 |
| raub | lone: If you are getting a .deb, expect dependency issues | 22:56 |
| lone | @raub so how can i install it? | 22:57 |
| b166er | I tried the donate page before you download the desktop version of ubuntu. but when I click pay with paypal. a unauthorize message on their website appears | 22:57 |
| raub | FInd all the packages it depends on and install them | 22:57 |
| lone | how? @raub | 22:57 |
| raub | lone: is that package available through one of the ubuntu repositories? | 22:58 |
| Dr_Willis | installing a .deb ? use 'sudo dpkg -i' or 'sudo gdebi foo.deb' and the gedbi app SHOULD install all needed deps | 22:58 |
| Dr_Willis | lone: i found that multiboot tool.. handy. but egads the dependencies it pulls in when installed.. | 22:58 |
| raub | Dr_Willis: and here I am thinking a .deb is like a rpm ;) | 22:59 |
| lone | i've downloaded it from sourceforge.net | 22:59 |
| Dr_Willis | a deb is similer to a rpm | 22:59 |
| raub | Sounds like dpkg is much fancier than rpm | 22:59 |
| Dr_Willis | but most of the time you use a tool like 'gdebi' to install the rpm. not the lower level 'dpkg -i' | 22:59 |
| raub | lone: follow what Dr_Willis said | 22:59 |
| Dr_Willis | dpkg is a basic low level tool. gdebi and the other package tools handle the dependencies | 22:59 |
| Dr_Willis | if you just double click on the .deb the software center is supposed to ask/install/ and grab the dependencies also | 23:00 |
| b166er | so. opinion. openoffice or libreoffice? | 23:00 |
| b166er | just for compatibility with MS | 23:00 |
| Dr_Willis | openoffice is basically dead as far as i know | 23:01 |
| TM26 | Hey , some one can tellme , if i can install ubuntu 13.10 in a partition on mi disk with 15 gib ????? | 23:01 |
| raub | Oh ok. On a somewhat related topic, canonical/ubuntu use jenkins, right? | 23:01 |
| Dr_Willis | TM26: you should be able to. | 23:01 |
| Dr_Willis | i got 13.10 running from a 16gb USB flash drive | 23:01 |
| b166er | openoffice dead? I just installed 4.0 | 23:01 |
| raub | b166er: AFAIK openoffice is on the way out. THey moved all the stuff to libre | 23:01 |
| b166er | pewp | 23:01 |
| Dr_Willis | b166er: I rarely hear openoffice mentioned any more. its all libreoffice | 23:02 |
| raub | Some issue with Oracle (as usual) being you-know-what | 23:02 |
| b166er | well. good I couldnt figure out how to create desktop icons for openoffice anyway | 23:02 |
| chocolatemousse | Dr_Willis, anyways if you don't mind answering what are you running on all day mostly then? Windows XP? Or Some RedHat box? | 23:02 |
| Dr_Willis | yet another case of a big company stabbing a project in the back | 23:02 |
| Dr_Willis | chocolatemousse: most of the time.. android. ;) | 23:02 |
| * raub is pissed with what Oracle did to Solaris and SUn | 23:02 | |
| chocolatemousse | Dr_Willis, makes sense I guess | 23:02 |
| Dr_Willis | chocolatemousse: Im at work - on my android tablet most of the time. with an occasional ssh into the home box. I got a netbook with 13.10 at work i use sometimes | 23:03 |
| bl4ckdu5t | how can I view hidden folders(not ignoring entries with .) with nautilus? | 23:03 |
| Dr_Willis | bl4ckdu5t: ctrl-h. its in themenus | 23:03 |
| TM26 | Dr_Willis thanks !!! Does not crash ???? | 23:03 |
| chocolatemousse | b166er, Dr_Willis OpenOffice is not very popular, but apparently Apache is actually developing on it - I hear its no longer got much in common (besides UI/file support) with the old OO | 23:03 |
| bl4ckdu5t | Dr_Willis: ok | 23:04 |
| Dr_Willis | all my word processing these days i do in Abiword | 23:04 |
| chocolatemousse | b166er, so its kinda like the KOffice suite or Calligra or something | 23:04 |
| Dr_Willis | ;) | 23:04 |
| chocolatemousse | Or yeah Abiword | 23:04 |
| TM26 | Dr_Willis and i can move /home after install the system | 23:04 |
| Dr_Willis | TM26: if you got the skills.. yes. thats rather eays to do | 23:04 |
| chocolatemousse | Small user base, not much of a community - but that's mostly hearsay. | 23:04 |
| raub | Which reminds me: does ubuntu still get pissy if you move var from / to its own partiion down the line? | 23:05 |
| b166er | well. back to libreoffrice for the wife then | 23:05 |
| TM26 | Dr_Willis you know some tutorials to see and follow the steps ???? | 23:05 |
| reisio | raub: did it ever? | 23:05 |
| Dr_Willis | raub: that might be part of the reason theres the /run/ stuff now. but i havent really read much up on it. | 23:05 |
| Dr_Willis | TM26: ive used linux so long.. its a trivial task to me. ;P | 23:06 |
| Dr_Willis | TM26: havent needed a tutorial for such a basic thing in years | 23:06 |
| Dr_Willis | !movehome | 23:06 |
| ubottu | Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving | 23:06 |
| raub | reisio: the bug for that is still open. Was for 10.04 originally | 23:06 |
| Dr_Willis | mount the new location to /home2/ copy home to home2, edit fstab to point to the right place. renameing it home. reboot ;) | 23:06 |
| Dr_Willis | TM26: you could even have your /home/ split across differnt partions, or disks if you wanted to. ;) My main user has his own home on the ssd . everyone else is on the slower hd. | 23:07 |
| reisio | raub: weird | 23:07 |
| raub | Dr_Willis: I would add to do it in recovery/single user mode | 23:07 |
| raub | reisio: it bit us royally when we started using lvm | 23:08 |
| Dr_Willis | I am my only user logged in most of the time. ;) unless the wife is on the Plex media server. | 23:08 |
| raub | Dr_Willis: so there is yet another new directory in /. Lovely | 23:08 |
| reisio | raub: what do you use lvm for? :) | 23:08 |
| Dr_Willis | raub: use of /run/ was supposed to allow for moveing other things to their own partions or somthing.. i cant recall where i read about it | 23:09 |
| tgm4883 | raub, I've gotta ask, who cares? | 23:10 |
| Dr_Willis | raub: https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/RunDirectory | 23:10 |
| raub | reisio: much easier to partition your HD using LVM. ext4 does not like being scaled down like jfs, buthey | 23:11 |
| raub | tgm4883: about? | 23:11 |
| reisio | tgm4883: people who've already experienced it working without such things? :) | 23:11 |
| === pythonlearner is now known as pythonuklearner | ||
| reisio | raub: yeah, but why would you need to scale it | 23:11 |
| Dr_Willis | /run is a new cross-distribution location for the storage of transient state files | 23:11 |
| lone | can i install tar.gz on ubuntu 12.04 | 23:11 |
| lone | ? | 23:11 |
| tgm4883 | raub, who cares about a new directory in / | 23:11 |
| reisio | lone: probably, but why? | 23:11 |

| chocolatemousse | Dr_Willis: how to add to the factoid database? | 23:13 |
| chocolatemousse | '/run' should probably be in there | 23:13 |
| Dr_Willis | chocolatemousse: hmm. i forget.. try !factoid | 23:13 |
| Dr_Willis | most people dont even notice the /run/ changes ;) | 23:13 |
| raub | tgm4883: exactly | 23:13 |
| tgm4883 | raub, ok, just wanted to know | 23:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Making the /run directory available brings us a step closer to the point where it is possible to use the system normally with the root filesystem mounted read-only, without requiring any clunky workarounds such as aufs/unionfs overlays. | 23:14 |
| TM26 | Dr_willis i detect that my system crash with compiz , and thats what i want to split , to recover the system or reinstall without losing files !!!! :) | 23:14 |
| JetDog | Hi all, would anyone know off hand if the nvidia proprietary driver can switch off the nvidia card with vga_switcheroo when used with hybrid graphics? | 23:14 |

| chocolatemousse | A factoid is a factoid, regardless of popularity. ;) | 23:14 |
| raub | Dr_Willis: that is good; I already run /boot and /usr read only | 23:15 |
| raub | Would like to have root read only too | 23:15 |
| Dr_Willis | raub: and Now you know why they have gone the /run/ route. | 23:15 |
| Dr_Willis | its been in Ubuntu since 11.10 it seems | 23:15 |

| TM26 | But also somebody tell me that my system crash ...and i got to make a new partition with system and home separately | 23:19 |
| Dr_Willis | unless its totally busted. You should be able to get to your files with a live cd and back the,m up somewhere. | 23:20 |

| Henix_Aurorus | Basically, I'm trying to install drivers for my NETGEAR WG311v3 network card, and I've done everything correctly (all the way up to juggling OSes probably fifty times), but when I try actually getting the system to use the drivers, it returns "module ndiswrapper not found" | 23:20 |

| chocolatemousse | Henix_Aurorus, I've fixed wifi drivers by recompiling the source, and I'm telling you know if you want any hope of getting this fixed, you need to be a LOT more specific | 23:27 |
| chocolatemousse | s/know/now/ | 23:28 |
| raub | I think if he is using gparted he can unmount/whatever from there | 23:28 |
| chocolatemousse | Version numbers, card type, linux kernel version | 23:28 |
| Dr_Willis | gparted may fail to unmount. if an app is accessing the filesystem | 23:28 |
| lone | how to unmount via command line? | 23:28 |
| raub | lsof should help then | 23:28 |
| TM26 | Dr_willis jahahahaha yrah i think i will reinstall all system ... And with the help you give me well its al solved !!! | 23:29 |
| Henix_Aurorus | Ubuntu 12.04, WG311v3 card, ndiswrapper is 1.57 | 23:29 |
| Dr_Willis | lone: sudo umount /dev/sdXX | 23:29 |
| === tilal6991 is now known as tilal6991|away | ||
| chocolatemousse | Henix_Aurorus, Generally, if there's a wifi issue and ndiswrapper A) you're doing it wrong B) ndiswrapper isn't going to work C) you need to find the linux drivers for your card | 23:29 |
| Dr_Willis | lone: mount command will show whats mounted where | 23:29 |
| raub | chocolatemousse: I think his card uses the Marvell 88w8335 Chipset | 23:29 |
| chocolatemousse | Henix_Aurorus, Ok, have you looked online for 'linux drivers WG311v3' ? | 23:30 |
| Henix_Aurorus | Yes, that | 23:30 |
| chocolatemousse | raub: ok thans | 23:30 |
| TM26 | Dr_willia there are commands to purge obsolet packages right ???? | 23:30 |
| raub | Don't know what else uses it | 23:30 |
| Dr_Willis | TM26: theres apt-get auto-remove | 23:30 |
| TM26 | Dr_willis haja thanks for you help !!!!!! | 23:30 |
| chocolatemousse | Henix_Aurorus, have you already tried doing something like this: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/marvell-88w8335-chipset-netgear-wg311-pcicard-driver/ ? | 23:31 |
| Henix_Aurorus | Chocolatemousse: that's more or less what I've been doing, and it works up to the modprobe | 23:32 |
| chocolatemousse | Henix_Aurorus, ok, looking at that page there are 4 drivers you may have to try, the original one they ask you to get on that page is missing | 23:33 |
| chocolatemousse | Henix_Aurorus, ok so 'ndiswrapper -l' outputs the same thing as in that guide? | 23:33 |
| Henix_Aurorus | Yes | 23:33 |
| chocolatemousse | What is the problem with the sudo modprobe ndiswrapper? | 23:34 |
| Henix_Aurorus | It returns a "module not found" error | 23:34 |
| chocolatemousse | Henix_Aurorus run 'dpkg -l ndiswrapper*' and 'uname -r' for me | 23:35 |
| xangua | Henix_Aurorus: did you select the inf file from the windows XP drivers¿ | 23:35 |
| chocolatemousse | s/run/run the output/ | 23:36 |
| Henix_Aurorus | One moment | 23:36 |
| Henix_Aurorus | And yes xangua I did | 23:36 |
| Impossible | how do i see what processes are running | 23:36 |
| raub | Impossible: ps -aux is a good place to start | 23:36 |
| Impossible | how do i kill a process | 23:37 |
| chocolatemousse | Impossible: easiest way 'killall process' | 23:37 |
| chocolatemousse | Impossible: reliable way 'sudo kill -kill pidofprocess' | 23:37 |
| chocolatemousse | where pidofprocess is a number | 23:37 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | heyo, I have a number of *.jar files distributed in a number of folders; I'm trying to use the find command to copy them to the root folder of the tree; the command I'm currently using is find . -iname "*.jar" | xargs cp .; this is not doing the trick; any suggestions? | 23:37 |
| raub | chocolatemousse: I was going to say shout really loud, but you replied first | 23:37 |
| Impossible | thanks chocolatemousse | 23:38 |
| Henix_Aurorus | Okay so | 23:38 |
| pythonuklearner | Where to direct quickly questions when the python channel doesn't really care? | 23:38 |
| Henix_Aurorus | The dpkg -l spits out a bunch of "no package" lines | 23:38 |
| chocolatemousse | pythonuklearner /dev/null :P | 23:38 |
| chocolatemousse | JK | 23:38 |
| raub | ntzrmtthihu777: get rid of the pipe part and see if find gives back what you want | 23:39 |
| Henix_Aurorus | And uname -r returns 3.8.0-29-generic | 23:39 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | nevermind,lol. I figured it out with the -exec option. | 23:39 |
| raub | then add pipe | 23:39 |
| chocolatemousse | pythonuklearner: that or rtfm | 23:39 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | raub: yes, it gave me exactly what I wanted. | 23:39 |
| raub | ntzrmtthihu777: nice | 23:39 |
| chocolatemousse | pythonuklearner: and lastly, reword your question ;) | 23:39 |
| chocolatemousse | pythonuklearner: #lifeadvice | 23:39 |
| pythonuklearner | chocolatemousse: Thanks :) I'm not struggling with the instructions; I can't get the media player plugin to work or find documentation about it | 23:39 |
| chocolatemousse | pythonkuklearner: yeah that's not a python question | 23:40 |
| chocolatemousse | They wouldn't care aboutit | 23:40 |
| pythonuklearner | chocolatemousse: I'm having a hard time finding somebody that does lol | 23:40 |
| chocolatemousse | pythonuklearn: find which media player plugin it is, then maybe they might be able to help, if they know anything | 23:40 |
| Henix_Aurorus | Chocolatemousse | 23:41 |
| Henix_Aurorus | The dpkg -l spits out a bunch of "no package" lines | 23:41 |
| Henix_Aurorus | And uname -r returns 3.8.0-29-generic | 23:41 |
| Henix_Aurorus | In case you missed it | 23:41 |
| chocolatemousse | Henix_Aurorus: change to a different directory and re-run that dpkg -l command | 23:42 |
| Henix_Aurorus | Does it matter which directory? | 23:42 |
| chocolatemousse | Henix_Aurorus, you're probably in ~/Downloads, amiright? | 23:42 |
| Henix_Aurorus | Actually my home folder | 23:42 |
| chocolatemousse | Henix_Aurorus, the command gets confused if it finds a file in the current directory with the same name | 23:42 |
| Henix_Aurorus | Ohhhh | 23:42 |
| chocolatemousse | So: 'mkdir ~/emptydirectory; dpkg -l ndis*' | 23:43 |
| chocolatemousse | err | 23:43 |
| chocolatemousse | 'mkdir ~/emptydirectory; cd ~/emptydirectory; dpkg -l ndis*' | 23:43 |
| pythonuklearner | chocolatemousse: It's in the standard ubuntu repository I'm guessing, sudo apt-get install quickly-widgets and then there is a from quickly.widgets.media_player_box import MediaPlayerBox but googling about it gets nothing unfortunately | 23:43 |
| chocolatemousse | pythonuklearner, that's a start, but I don't know anything about quickly widgets | 23:44 |
| chocolatemousse | pythonuklearner, find someone who does | 23:44 |
| chocolatemousse | pythonuklearner, maybe find the project for quickly? | 23:44 |
| Henix_Aurorus | Okay so I'm seeing a list of what I assume to be packages, and at the top is a string I'll have to put through my sophisticated inter-OS file transfer device (AKA my thumb drive) becuase I'm not typing that entire thing on my tablet | 23:46 |
| Henix_Aurorus | So uh | 23:46 |
| Henix_Aurorus | Gimme a moment | 23:46 |
| chocolatemousse | Henix_Aurorus, use pastebinit | 23:46 |
| chocolatemousse | dpkg -l ndis* | pastebinit | 23:46 |
| chocolatemousse | copy past the url | 23:46 |
| Henix_Aurorus | Can't | 23:46 |
| chocolatemousse | sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 23:46 |
| chocolatemousse | Ah, no wireless | 23:47 |
| chocolatemousse | right | 23:47 |
| Henix_Aurorus | Yeah | 23:47 |
| chocolatemousse | wait so how did you install ndiswrapper if you don't have wireless? | 23:47 |
| chocolatemousse | Step #1 won't work without internet | 23:47 |
| Henix_Aurorus | The file transfer system I mentioned a couple lines ago | 23:47 |
| Henix_Aurorus | Which basically is my fancy way of saying I've been juggling OSes and putting the files I need on my thumb drice | 23:48 |
| chocolatemousse | Henix_Aurorus, ok, so you did something like sudo apt-get download ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 on another device and sudo dpkg -i ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 ? | 23:48 |
| Henix_Aurorus | Not exactly | 23:49 |
| chocolatemousse | Well anyways in that case dpkg -l ndis* > /myflashdrive/output.txt | 23:49 |
| Henix_Aurorus | Dug htrogh launchpad on windows, downloaded the files, and THEN put them on he thumbdrive | 23:49 |
| chocolatemousse | Ick. | 23:49 |
| Henix_Aurorus | Yeah | 23:49 |
| chocolatemousse | Henix_Aurorus, may I recommend Wubi (if they still have that) on Windows | 23:50 |
| Henix_Aurorus | Unfottunately it's my only optionright | 23:50 |
| Henix_Aurorus | ... | 23:50 |
| lone | what's the best downloader in ubuntu 12.04 like Internet Download Manager in windows? | 23:50 |
| Henix_Aurorus | Already using wubi actually | 23:50 |
| chocolatemousse | Good, hopefully it made your life easier. | 23:51 |
| chocolatemousse | Henix_Aurorus, brb | 23:51 |
| Henix_Aurorus | Unfortunately I have hard drive problems, which means I have no other way of using Ubuntu, because gparted completely refuses to resize the partition | 23:51 |
| chocolatemousse | Henix_Aurorus, no idea what that problem is, but lets just fix one problem at a time | 23:53 |
| Henix_Aurorus | Bad sector | 23:53 |
| chocolatemousse | Mmm | 23:53 |
| Henix_Aurorus | Is what gparted told me, atl least | 23:53 |
| chocolatemousse | Henix_Aurorus, to speed things up a bit, if dpkg -l command's ouput has (ii) next to a ndis-wrapper package, its installed | 23:54 |
| Henix_Aurorus | It did | 23:54 |
| chocolatemousse | Its just to verify you have ndiswrapper installed | 23:54 |
| chocolatemousse | for both ndiswrapper and a '-common package? | 23:54 |
| Henix_Aurorus | Yes | 23:54 |
| chocolatemousse | And a utils package presumably | 23:54 |
| chocolatemousse | ok | 23:54 |
| Henix_Aurorus | ...wait | 23:54 |
| Henix_Aurorus | A separate ndiswrapper package, you mean? | 23:55 |
| lone | best download manager in ubuntu??? | 23:55 |
| lone | Pls | 23:55 |
| lone | ? | 23:55 |
| kostkon | !info flareget | lone, check this one: | 23:55 |
| ubottu | lone, check this one:: Package flareget does not exist in raring | 23:55 |
| kostkon | damn | 23:55 |
| chocolatemousse | Henix_Aurorus, there should be at least two ndiswrapper packages, one that's common, another that is utils | 23:56 |
| kostkon | lone, https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/flareget/ | 23:56 |
| Henix_Aurorus | yeah, that's what showed up | 23:56 |
| chocolatemousse | And both should be (ii) | 23:56 |
| chocolatemousse | Henix_Aurorus, I'd ask in #kernel or #wifi but you may also need ndiswrapper-dkms, not sure about that though | 23:57 |
| chocolatemousse | dkms is a new kernel thing, but I think its mainly used if you're compiling stuff | 23:57 |
| Henix_Aurorus | I can try if you give me a moment | 23:58 |
| Henix_Aurorus | Because in a couple seconds I should have a string to throw your way | 23:58 |
| Henix_Aurorus | ...if of course Windows would function. This is precisely why I'm trying to switch tomlinux | 23:59 |
| L-sama | hello, I am trying to share drives via network between windows and ubuntu | 23:59 |
| Henix_Aurorus | -m | 23:59 |
