| oppositescopez | there i got it | 00:01 |
| Fieldy | hello, how do I configure a service to start at boot? | 00:01 |
| CuRb | here it's 02:02:25 a.m. | 00:01 |
| KI7MT | with rc.d | 00:01 |
| oppositescopez | just had to close the 7 "chrome cant be ran as root" errors i get every time i use an apt-get ... | 00:02 |
| TsarObomba | fieldy the gentoo master cant figure out ubuntu? :P | 00:02 |
| TsarObomba | jp | 00:02 |
| Icehawk78 | I'm having an issue with a desktop installation of 12.04 not detecting my CD/DVD drive. I can press the eject button, and it opens without issue, but I can't find anything to read it - there's no /dev/scd, /dev/cdrom, /dev/dvd, or anything similar, and lshw -C disk only shows my hard drives. | 00:02 |
| oppositescopez | why its trying to run scrome as root?, no clue... | 00:02 |
| Fieldy | lots of different init/service systems out there, i'm not familiar | 00:02 |
| TsarObomba | I see no more fieldysnuts, must have been too many jokes | 00:02 |
| oppositescopez | *chrome | 00:02 |
| TsarObomba | im messing with you | 00:02 |
| Fieldy | no /etc/rc.d | 00:02 |
| TsarObomba | right replace rc.d with init.d | 00:03 |
| TsarObomba | we dont use gentoos init daemon | 00:03 |
| salamandre43025 | I need help with 12.04LTS. Upgraded to 319 nvidia driver, ran the 36 latest updates and now I can't even get to the splash screen after grub | 00:03 |
| TsarObomba | its a debian like system | 00:03 |
| Fieldy | okay, he said "with rc.d" ;p | 00:03 |
| KI7MT | Boot: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto | 00:03 |

| Fieldy | KI7MT: thanks | 00:03 |
| TsarObomba | Fieldy: whoever it was was wrong | 00:04 |
| TsarObomba | oh | 00:04 |
| TsarObomba | on boot | 00:04 |
| oppositescopez | so what do i do with this purge program..? | 00:04 |
| Ari-Yang | salamandre43025, how and where did you get the update for your driver? | 00:04 |
| Ari-Yang | oppositescopez, you mean sudo aptitude purge target program | 00:04 |
| TsarObomba | Fieldy: add it used update-rc.d | 00:04 |
| Ari-Yang | like sudo aptitude purge VIM | 00:04 |
| TsarObomba | and it adds it to run levels | 00:04 |
| TsarObomba | if its already in init.d | 00:05 |
| TsarObomba | you'll see via that wiki page | 00:05 |
| Fieldy | ah with update-rc.d i mistook "rc.d" to mean /etc/rc.d, my bad. testing now | 00:05 |
| oppositescopez | btw i cant apt-get remove anything, doesnt work. | 00:05 |
| nabblet | oppositescopez: so your prblem is fixed now | 00:05 |
| TsarObomba | no prob | 00:05 |
| nabblet | ? | 00:05 |
| TsarObomba | i had to do the same making a znc daemon myself by scratch | 00:05 |
| nabblet | oppositescopez: ah ok - forget my question ;) | 00:05 |
| oppositescopez | uhh, what program am i targerting here? | 00:05 |
| nabblet | oppositescopez: sudo apt-get remove <package> | 00:06 |
| salamandre43025 | Ari-Yang: Additional drivers> [recommended]. I was sent there by Steam | 00:06 |
| TsarObomba | im half way drunk and felt like messing with you since i remember you from my deep dark gentoo days | 00:06 |
| nabblet | oppositescopez: the sudo is important | 00:06 |
| TsarObomba | before I found kubuntu and a desktop that works without issue | 00:06 |
| oppositescopez | so im purging vim? | 00:06 |
| TsarObomba | heck it even poiwers my buildbox and hudson/jenkins | 00:06 |
| oppositescopez | i know | 00:06 |
| Ari-Yang | salamandre43025, so you got drivers form nvidia's site? tbh I don't think that was a good idea... you should only install drivers form ubuntu's official repos or drivers that are trusted... | 00:07 |
| nabblet | oppositescopez: why do you want to purge vim | 00:07 |
| oppositescopez | i know how sudo works ^-^ | 00:07 |
| nabblet | ? | 00:07 |
| oppositescopez | idk | 00:07 |
| Ari-Yang | the problem might be a video driver problem, salamandre43025 | 00:07 |
| oppositescopez | thats what they said | 00:07 |
| nabblet | oppositescopez: lol | 00:07 |
| nabblet | oppositescopez: does apt-get update work now? | 00:07 |
| jrib | oppositescopez: uh, you never answered my question from before | 00:07 |
| TsarObomba | is there a way to get apt to stop telling me about certain packages no longer being required | 00:07 |
| salamandre43025 | Can I fix it from the recovery mode root console? | 00:07 |
| oppositescopez | omg havent done it yet X.X and hey jrib :D | 00:07 |
| TsarObomba | i run a liquorix kernel, and since installing, it wants me to autoremove the damn stock kernel. and i wanna keep it and not see the messages | 00:08 |
| TsarObomba | that would be awesome | 00:08 |
| Ari-Yang | salamandre43025, you should... like be able to run any commands to remove the driver | 00:08 |
| CuRb | chrome ? whois so stupid to use it ? https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/proprietary-sabotage.html | 00:08 |
| Ari-Yang | and install the one from ubuuntu's repos, salamandre43025 | 00:08 |
| oppositescopez | the responce -.- This aptitude does not have Super Cow Powers. | 00:08 |
| oppositescopez | thats what it said | 00:09 |
| oppositescopez | i think i did something wrong o.0 | 00:09 |
| Dylan | I cant talk | 00:09 |

| CuRb | Microsoft informs the NSA of bugs in Windows before fixing them For instance, it regards the inclusion of proprietary Flash Player (which has a surveillance feature and DRM) in Chrome as a good thing. Chrome is a proprietary browser with a universal back door. | 00:09 |
| oppositescopez | oh whoops spelled something wrong' | 00:10 |
| jrib | CuRb: this channel is for support not random comments about the NSA | 00:10 |
| salamandre43025 | Ari-Yang: It's from the repos. I have another issue, whenever I use jockey-text, I get D-BUS error | 00:10 |
| Ari-Yang | salamandre43025, sorry, I'm not sure :V... maybe somebody else will get to you | 00:10 |
| CuRb | and infact it refers to Chrome | 00:10 |
| Dylan | I have a question, for some reason I keep getting logged out. I click on something then screen goes black then it goes to the ubuntu screen.. Please help me | 00:10 |
| CuRb | read the page https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/proprietary-sabotage.html | 00:10 |
| jrib | CuRb: stop. | 00:11 |
| oppositescopez | ok i purged (and it came along with the 7 chrome cant be ran as roots) | 00:11 |
| Dylan | Me? | 00:11 |
| CuRb | is ubuntu your own channel ? | 00:11 |
| oppositescopez | my results http://paste.ubuntu.com/6094875/ | 00:12 |

| oppositescopez | what.. curb. why o.0 | 00:13 |
| jrib | CuRb: this channel is for support. If you're not asking a support question or answering one, please keep quiet. Other discussion takes place in #ubuntu-offtopic. You can discuss things like the NSA and gnu's stance on chrome there (i.e., not here). | 00:15 |
| TsarObomba | jrib: you see my question? | 00:15 |
| TsarObomba | you seem to be the only expert | 00:15 |
| CuRb | here how to run chrome as root https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1743565 | 00:15 |
| TsarObomba | i would think i would need to set apt to blacklist those packages from thinking i can remove trhem | 00:15 |
| oppositescopez | i dont want to run chrome as root | 00:15 |
| qin | !ot | CuRb is for general spam | 00:15 |
| ubottu | CuRb is for general spam: #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! | 00:15 |
| oppositescopez | thats an error | 00:15 |
| jrib | TsarObomba: I don't know what the liquorix kernel is. Do you obtain it through APT? | 00:15 |
| TsarObomba | yup | 00:16 |
| TsarObomba | a mirror | 00:16 |
| oppositescopez | so did people give up on helping me? | 00:16 |
| ChogyDan | oppositescopez: are you running Ubuntu or debian? | 00:16 |
| TsarObomba | its a zen kernel | 00:16 |
| jrib | CuRb: why are you linking to that. No one wants or needs to run chrome as root. | 00:16 |
| oppositescopez | lubuntu? | 00:16 |
| TsarObomba | that a developer packages into "liquporix" | 00:16 |
| TsarObomba | thats not the issue | 00:16 |
| TsarObomba | the issue is, you install a kernel different than the base kernel and apt wants to remove the base kernel | 00:16 |
| TsarObomba | and i WANT to keep it | 00:16 |
| CuRb | a user said that was not possible to run chrome as root; i replied that is possible to do it https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1743565 | 00:16 |
| TsarObomba | ya know, for safe keeping :) | 00:16 |
| jrib | TsarObomba: what does « apt-cache show package-that-give-you-liquporix » return to you? Please stop using enter as punctuation | 00:17 |
| oppositescopez | oh | 00:17 |
| oppositescopez | well i get that error any time u use any apt-get and any support for help would be appreciated.. | 00:17 |
| jrib | CuRb: address that to whomever asked the question in the future. And please advise them that it's a terrible idea. | 00:17 |
| jrib | oppositescopez: you still haven't answered my question (3rd time I've asked you about it now) | 00:17 |
| TsarObomba | jrib: http://slexy.org/view/s2EehfObxD | 00:18 |
| CuRb | it's written on the same page of ubuntuforum | 00:18 |
| CuRb | i puntualized only that is possible | 00:18 |
| oppositescopez | which question? | 00:18 |
| TsarObomba | jrib: but the issue isnt the new kernel. any new kernel will have the same effect, when you run apt-get afterwards it will constantly remind you you can remove the stock kernel | 00:18 |
| TsarObomba | It also does that with stock mainline-ppa kernels | 00:18 |
| jrib | TsarObomba: pastebin input and output your are referencing | 00:18 |
| CuRb | anything can run as root; root is always to his own risk | 00:18 |
| jrib | CuRb: ok | 00:19 |
| TsarObomba | the input can be apt-get install anything | 00:19 |
| jrib | TsarObomba: that's fine, pick some anything and pastebin | 00:19 |
| ChogyDan | TsarObomba: make sure you have the linux-generic package install, that will keep the latest stock kernel | 00:19 |
| TsarObomba | The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: | 00:19 |
| dob | ip -6 route add ::/0 via fe80::1 src 2a01:xxx:190:xxx::2 dev eth0 metric 0 works in console, but not as up - script in interfaces config. Somebody some idea???? | 00:19 |
| TsarObomba | linux-headers-3.8.0-19 linux-headers-3.8.0-19-generic linux-image-3.8.0-19-generic linux-image-extra-3.8.0-19-generic | 00:19 |
| TsarObomba | chocolatemousse: thats NOT my point | 00:19 |
| TsarObomba | woops | 00:19 |
| TsarObomba | ChogyDan: ^ | 00:19 |
| jrib | TsarObomba: why is ChogyDan's suggestion not valid for you? | 00:20 |
| TsarObomba | my point is stopping it from giving me that damn message its removable, i know it is | 00:20 |
| SupaYoshii | Heya anyone, can someone tell me how to PERMALITLY change my Wifi Mac address? | 00:20 |
| TsarObomba | jrib: because i know its installed, i want it installed. I njust dont want apt to tell me its valid to be rempoved | 00:20 |
| TsarObomba | ffs, do you guys not get it? | 00:20 |
| oppositescopez | jrib: what question? | 00:20 |
| qin | TsarObomba: apt-get autoremove ? | 00:20 |
| SupaYoshii | I've a android phone... and it keeps changing its WIFI MAC after I turn on and off wifi.... | 00:20 |
| ChogyDan | TsarObomba: the message is happening because you have a later version stock kernel, and the one that it is suggesting to remove is outdated | 00:20 |
| TsarObomba | qin: thatsd what im looking to avoid | 00:20 |
| TsarObomba | .... | 00:20 |
| SupaYoshii | I really wonder whats going on, I already installed another rom but same issue remains.! | 00:20 |
| * TsarObomba pulls another tooth | 00:21 | |
| nabblet | oppositescopez: try apt-get reinstall syslinux-themes-debian | 00:21 |
| CuRb | RTFM | 00:21 |
| TsarObomba | ChogyDan: ofc | 00:21 |
| jrib | TsarObomba: install it then. It's telling you that because the package was installed as a dependency and not manually by you. You can either install it or use apt-mark. Or (probably best) install the meta-package ChogyDan referred to | 00:21 |
| oppositescopez | ok one sec | 00:21 |
| TsarObomba | ChogyDan: im looking to STOP that msg | 00:21 |
| TsarObomba | jrib: it is installed | 00:21 |
| TsarObomba | jesus christ | 00:21 |
| nabblet | oppositescopez: oh, forget that. use purge | 00:21 |
| TsarObomba | you people are not getting | 00:21 |
| jrib | TsarObomba: read the rest of my sentence | 00:21 |
| TsarObomba | omg | 00:21 |
| oppositescopez | purge it? | 00:21 |
| nabblet | oppositescopez: sudo apt-get purge syslinux-themes-debian | 00:21 |
| oppositescopez | ok | 00:21 |
| jrib | TsarObomba: It's telling you that because the package was installed as a dependency and not manually by you. You can either install it or use apt-mark. Or (probably best) install the meta-package ChogyDan referred to | 00:21 |
| nabblet | oppositescopez: yes | 00:21 |
| oppositescopez | if you say so | 00:21 |
| jrib | oppositescopez: what package provides that file you get in your error? | 00:22 |
| TsarObomba | linux-generic is installed, and has been | 00:22 |
| TsarObomba | it has been since i installed | 00:22 |
| nabblet | jrib: syslinux-themes-debian that's the troublemaker | 00:22 |
| nabblet | jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6094875/ | 00:22 |
| TsarObomba | im about to ask debian since you guys seem clueless wohen it comes to complex issues | 00:22 |
| nabblet | jrib: that's for oppositescopez problem | 00:23 |
| salamandre43025 | Can I configure xorg drivers with jockey-text in the recovery mode root console prompt? | 00:23 |
| TsarObomba | this is linux, you can do just about anything with it | 00:23 |
| jrib | TsarObomba: you aren't listening. | 00:23 |
| oppositescopez | result http://paste.ubuntu.com/6094897/ | 00:23 |
| TsarObomba | salamandre43025: yes | 00:23 |
| TsarObomba | jrib: sure i am | 00:23 |
| jrib | TsarObomba: what package wants to be removed? | 00:23 |
| TsarObomba | jrib: you told me to use the other guys siggestion of linux-image-generic | 00:23 |
| TsarObomba | which is ALREADY install | 00:23 |
| jrib | TsarObomba: nope | 00:23 |
| dob | no ideas about the network config | 00:23 |
| ChogyDan | TsarObomba: do you just want the kernels to keep adding, and never remove? It's not clear | 00:24 |
| TsarObomba | jrib: i pasted the packages it wants to remove via autoremove above | 00:24 |
| dob | seems to be impossible to set the default outgoing ip address | 00:24 |
| jrib | TsarObomba: first of all, you keep changing package names. Which makes it hard to help you. We need to be clear about the packages involved. | 00:24 |
| jrib | !who | oppositescopez | 00:24 |
| ubottu | oppositescopez: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 00:24 |
| TsarObomba | ChogyDan: i dont care WHAT it does, as long as it stoips annoying me when running apt-=get about the stock kernel being remobavle because i have a different kernel installed | 00:24 |
| jrib | oppositescopez: dpkg -S /usr/share/themes/lfs-black-base-blue/gtk-2.0/gtkrc | 00:24 |
| salamandre43025 | TsarObama: how do I do this and not get a "cannot access d-bus module" error? | 00:24 |
| TsarObomba | changing package names? wtgf you talking about? | 00:25 |
| TsarObomba | ChogyDan recommended me install linux-image-generic | 00:25 |
| TsarObomba | The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: | 00:25 |
| TsarObomba | linux-headers-3.8.0-19 linux-headers-3.8.0-19-generic linux-image-3.8.0-19-generic linux-image-extra-3.8.0-19-generic | 00:25 |
| jrib | TsarObomba: first you specified you had linux-generic now you say linux-image-generic. | 00:25 |
| TsarObomba | that clue you in again? | 00:25 |
| TsarObomba | there is no linux-generic afaik | 00:25 |
| oppositescopez | jrib: dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/share/themes/lfs-black-base-blue/gtk-2.0/gtkrc | 00:25 |
| jrib | TsarObomba: in the future please use a pastebin instead of pasting to the channel | 00:25 |
| TsarObomba | its linux-image-generic. | 00:25 |
| TsarObomba | it was a oneline paste | 00:26 |
| TsarObomba | ffs | 00:26 |
| TsarObomba | People here are snobs | 00:26 |
| nabblet | oppositescopez: did you ever mess with the themes? | 00:26 |
| TsarObomba | jrib: the point is, stopping apt from telling me that message | 00:26 |
| TsarObomba | that is ALL i want | 00:26 |
| jrib | TsarObomba: this is a large channel. We ask that you use a pastebin for pastes and not to use enter as punctuation | 00:26 |
| TsarObomba | and i know that is possible somehow | 00:26 |
| TsarObomba | ya ya ya | 00:26 |
| jrib | TsarObomba: apt-cache depends linux-image-generic returns what for you? | 00:27 |
| oppositescopez | i think that the one that i ame using is a custom made one @nabblet | 00:27 |
| TsarObomba | its gonna return those pakcages that i just pasted | 00:27 |
| TsarObomba | ofc it is | 00:27 |

| TsarObomba | jrib: apt-cache depends linux-image-generic | 00:27 |
| TsarObomba | told you | 00:27 |
| jrib | TsarObomba: good luck with your issue. | 00:28 |
| ChogyDan | :) | 00:28 |
| TsarObomba | what? | 00:28 |
| TsarObomba | you are giving up because i gave YOU the answer you are looking for? | 00:28 |
| TsarObomba | if so.... | 00:28 |
| jrib | TsarObomba: you got no output from apt-cache depends linux-image-generic? | 00:28 |
| oppositescopez | nabblet: im pretty sure it was made by a friend | 00:29 |
| TsarObomba | iu just pasztebined it | 00:29 |
| nabblet | oppositescopez: well, apt-get complains that something is wrong with one of the themes | 00:29 |
| TsarObomba | woopos\ | 00:29 |
| nabblet | oppositescopez: that's how i understand it | 00:29 |
| oppositescopez | i tried to use a different theme | 00:29 |

| === rm_work is now known as rm_work|away | ||
| oppositescopez | i still got the error about chrome atleatst. | 00:29 |
| nabblet | oppositescopez: since i don't find any related errors on google, it must be something "home grown" | 00:30 |
| oppositescopez | im gonna take a complete guess and assume it has something to do with dpkg considering it mentions it? | 00:30 |
| oppositescopez | yeah i have never turned to forums for advise, ive googled for weeks | 00:30 |
| ChogyDan | TsarObomba: so you have both -31 and -19 installed. Do you want both? Do you want later versions? Do you want to remove the earlier versions, or have the kernels just pile up? Or would you rather just the latest? | 00:30 |
| jrib | oppositescopez: you need to address whoever it is you are talking to | 00:31 |
| qin | TsarObomba: autoremove and install kernel lower version to your likes, you may want to dist-upgrade too | 00:31 |
| jrib | TsarObomba: do you see the versions differ? | 00:31 |
| damien | acc add jabber you@gmail.com | 00:31 |
| damien | definitely didnt work lol | 00:31 |
| TsarObomba | ChogyDan: i dont care WHAT ubuntu repo kernel versions are installed. Ill keep them all and continue to update, it leavres behind old versions by default. I just want the messages in apt to stop since i installed a non stock kernel from a non standard repo | 00:31 |
| TsarObomba | That is ALL | 00:31 |
| oppositescopez | ok nabblet: it was probably a friend ("he also sabatoged some stuff, so it may have been intentional, but im no longer in contact with him") | 00:32 |
| TsarObomba | And that IS possible | 00:32 |
| jrib | TsarObomba: as I said before, explicitly install the versions yourself or use apt-mark | 00:32 |
| TsarObomba | qin: you have no idea my friend | 00:32 |
| TsarObomba | jrib: the versiuons are installed | 00:32 |
| ChogyDan | TsarObomba: the message has absolutely nothing to do with the non-stock kernel | 00:32 |
| jrib | TsarObomba: yes, automatically as depnedncies though. | 00:32 |
| TsarObomba | ITs telling me to remove them as they are not needed | 00:32 |
| TsarObomba | sigh | 00:32 |
| TsarObomba | so, usuage of apt-mark? | 00:33 |
| TsarObomba | And it does, what? | 00:33 |

| jrib | TsarObomba: « apt-mark showauto | grep linux-image » for starters. There may also be a way to tell apt to never tell you about unused packages ever again, but I don't know offhand and I would advise not turning that off, personally. | 00:33 |

| TsarObomba | jrib: i just did apt-mark hold on both meta packages, still getting the messages | 00:34 |
| TsarObomba | do i need an update first? | 00:34 |
| jrib | TsarObomba: ok, but I didn't say to do that | 00:34 |
| TsarObomba | TsarObomba: you said use apt-mark | 00:35 |
| jrib | TsarObomba: correct. But why do "hold"?+ | 00:35 |
| TsarObomba | jrib: i dont want it to tell me about all unused packages ever again | 00:35 |
| TsarObomba | thats stupid | 00:35 |
| TsarObomba | jrib: because it seemed like the right command | 00:35 |
| jrib | TsarObomba: I think you want "manual" to indicate that that package is installed manually by you | 00:36 |
| TsarObomba | because from my googling it would make it not appear in the autoremoveable list | 00:36 |

| jrib | TsarObomba: good, that makes it seem promising that marking those packages that you want to keep as "manual" will make apt-get shutup | 00:37 |

| IdleOne | Anonynimity: there won't be an Ubuntu phone. The funding campaign failed | 00:37 |
| TsarObomba | jrib: so how do i | 00:38 |
| TsarObomba | ie, mark them as manual or whatever? apt-hold? | 00:38 |
| Anonynimity | what? | 00:38 |
| Anonynimity | noooo | 00:38 |
| nabblet | oppositescopez: do you have a file /etc/psd.conf ? | 00:38 |
| jrib | TsarObomba: I *think* you might also just be able to do "apt-get install PACKAGE" though I'm not sure about that. That's why I suggested also trying to install the packages explicitly. To use apt-mark, you can do « apt-mark manual PACKAGE_HERE » | 00:38 |
| TsarObomba | there will be ubuntu on phones, just not a ubuntu edge | 00:38 |
| oppositescopez | my friend put it on here a while back @jrib | 00:38 |

| turbine_ | I've got a weird problem that I could really use some help with. I'm on 12.04, and when I started up my computer today, firefox had reverted to version 11. apt-get says 11 is the latest version, and when I updated apt-get, it hit all the sources, but the firefox package remains at 11.

| jrib | ChogyDan: nice. Interestingly enough there's also /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove-kernels that seems to keep the last 2 around | 00:43 |

| jrib | oppositescopez: I don't have time to troubleshoot this with you. But someone should look at your init scripts for rsyslogd, apparmor profiles, and postinst for rsyslog | 00:48 |
| oppositescopez | jrib: ive been with this problem since last year, i think i can manage :p | 00:49 |

| ChogyDan | oppositescopez: random guess: apt-cache policy profile-sync-daemon see if you have anything installed like that | 00:55 |
| KI7MT | oppositescopez, do you get the same error with service rsyslog start? | 00:55 |
| Ben64 | Retroballa: we can't support ppas or installing stuff manually, undo all that and use ubuntu's firefox version | 00:55 |
| Retroballa | it works | 00:55 |

| KI7MT | oppositescopez, : sudo service rsyslog restart | 00:59 |
| Retroballa | I assume ubuntu get programs late until it is an official ubuntu package | 00:59 |
| Retroballa | no biggie | 01:00 |
| ChogyDan | oppositescopez: well, if you have a funky setup, maybe rsyslog is trying to start chrome for some weird reason | 01:00 |
| Ben64 | Retroballa: 24 is in beta, so thats why its not in ubuntu yet | 01:00 |
| ChogyDan | Retroballa: firefox 24 isnt out for windows yet either | 01:00 |

| oppositescopez | ChogyDan: ive searched and searched i cant find a solution | 01:01 |
| KI7MT | Hmm, that not be good. how did you get to this point, what did you install ./ remove ? | 01:01 |
| ChogyDan | oppositescopez: unfortunately, I know nothing about that. Hopefully KI7MT can help | 01:01 |
| Retroballa | well version 23 may as well be beta. Especially whenI coud't make it 5-10 min without it locking up on a full screen video | 01:01 |

| === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off | ||

| Ben64 | Retroballa: you can install whatever you want. you just can't get support here without following the rules | 01:02 |
| oppositescopez | KI7MT: looks like maybe you know about this, where does rsyslog do its stuff? could this be whats trying to run chrome?. where could i find this out to fix this? | 01:03 |
| KI7MT | oppositescopez, so you you were installing Chrome, how ? then what happened ? | 01:03 |
| oppositescopez | KI7MT: i wasnt. thats the thing, the problem is. ANY time i use apt-get. even for ANYTHING at all. i get those chrome errors | 01:04 |
| Retroballa | no worries ben, sometiemes i get mixed up between the line of linux and ubuntu. | 01:04 |
| ChogyDan | oppositescopez: we get why you are always getting those errors. The question is about the time when you first started getting them | 01:05 |
| oppositescopez | ChogyDan: that was over a year ago..... | 01:05 |
| KI7MT | I doubt the problem is rsyslog, as it's just a central logger, however apparmor is tied into it, and if it's failing to fire up, that's an issue. | 01:06 |
| ChogyDan | KI7MT: oppositescopez: what about removing chrome, could that help? | 01:07 |
| oppositescopez | ChogyDan: its my only used browser (and what im currently using to talk here) | 01:07 |
| KI7MT | oppositescopez, sudo apparmor_status see wht that says first. | 01:07 |
| oppositescopez | KI7MT: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6095021/ | 01:08 |
| KI7MT | That's ok, thats good. | 01:09 |
| oppositescopez | KI7MT: yay | 01:10 |
| KI7MT | And this problem is only when you use apt-get ? | 01:11 |
| oppositescopez | KI7MT: its the only command i ever need/ use so idk | 01:11 |
| oppositescopez | KI7MT: but its the only time ive seen it | 01:12 |
| oppositescopez | KI7MT: i know i can run programs from terminal and not get it | 01:12 |

| sordidbass | whats better these days? fglrx or radeon? | 01:13 |
| oppositescopez | ehh, what do i do with it.? | 01:14 |
| dr_willis | sordidbass: i imagine it depends on your exact chipset neimg used | 01:14 |
| turbine_ | ChogyDan: any more ideas? | 01:14 |
| sordidbass | 6790 | 01:14 |
| KI7MT | oppositescopez, start it up adn reload first, thats same as update | 01:14 |
| blackvswhite | sordidbass: fglrx or radeon as in which driver? bare in mind the latest drivers from ATI only support the newer cards | 01:14 |
| oppositescopez | KI7MT: got an error, one sec ill pastebin | 01:15 |
| blackvswhite | sordidbass: if you on an older card, stick with fglrx. if your cards new, download the latest driver from ATI and use that. There's a remarkable difference. | 01:15 |

| blocky | dr_willis: i was wondering if there was a way to do that in software | 01:20 |
| blocky | i guess the bios eh | 01:20 |
| dr_willis | bios might be able to do it. I tend to just pull the power cord to the drive | 01:20 |

| oppositescopez | and its chromium | 01:46 |
| oppositescopez | i thought that came by default? | 01:46 |
| x_ | apt-get install chromium-browser | 01:46 |
| KI7MT | In lubuntu, yes, it's the default browser. | 01:47 |
| dr_willis | chrommium is the default on lubuntu i belive | 01:47 |
| oppositescopez | KI7MT: so i didnt install it? | 01:47 |
| KI7MT | No, it was already installed by default. | 01:47 |
| oppositescopez | KI7MT: sorry that had confused me when you asked | 01:47 |
| KI7MT | I gorgot you said you were on Lubuntu. | 01:47 |
| KI7MT | forgot .. | 01:47 |

| wilee-nilee | oppositescopez, How did you install chrome? | 01:50 |
| khuevu | hi guys | 01:50 |
| oppositescopez | wilee-nilee: default lubuntu | 01:50 |
| khuevu | i have a problem with ubuntu | 01:50 |
| KI7MT | It's Lubuntu, it's the default Browser | 01:50 |
| NekoGloopMkII | Um... | 01:50 |
| khuevu | i let it update to 3.5.0-40-generic | 01:50 |
| khuevu | but there is no linux-headers-3.5.0-40-generic in repository | 01:51 |
| wilee-nilee | oppositescopez, Ah, yes i is I would purge it and remove all files and reinstall it. | 01:51 |
| wilee-nilee | it* | 01:51 |
| NekoGloopMkII | Does anyone know how to get 16:9 resolution in latest xubuntu running in VirtualBox? | 01:51 |
| khuevu | then my VM Player can't start because it depends on linux's headers | 01:51 |
| oppositescopez | KI7MT: should i purge it then? like he said? | 01:51 |
| dr_willis | NekoGloopMkII: you installed the vbox guest addations? | 01:51 |
| KI7MT | oppositescopez, that's about the only way I can think to get round this, is try and remove Chromium and re-install it if you can. | 01:51 |
| NekoGloopMkII | dr_willis, yes. | 01:52 |
| wilee-nilee | oppositescopez, Might be the chrome file in .config something is amiss though | 01:52 |
| oppositescopez | KI7MT: commands for that? | 01:52 |
| dr_willis | NekoGloopMkII: thats all i recall ever needing to do | 01:52 |
| oppositescopez | KI7MT: im gonna have to open firefox to connect back here | 01:52 |
| NekoGloopMkII | Hum... | 01:52 |
| KI7MT | sudo apt-get remove --purge chromium-browser | 01:52 |
| NekoGloopMkII | I'll try restarting again then. | 01:52 |
| dr_willis | NekoGloopMkII: unless thers some quirk going on. you might want to check askubuntu.com and in #vbox | 01:52 |
| oppositescopez | KI7MT: then to instlal it back? | 01:53 |
| KI7MT | then the an apt-clean autoclean and autoremove | 01:53 |
| oppositescopez | KI7MT: dang ima loose my skin and favorites right? | 01:53 |

| KI7MT | I dont know about the skins and plug-ins if any | 01:54 |
| legend123 | I can't seem to find any option. | 01:55 |

| gurugeek | How can i connect to a wifi router using Wpa2 personal but using a password less than 8 characters? NetworkManager wont allow | 01:57 |

| KI7MT | oppositescopez, sudo apt-get remove --purge chromium-browser | 01:59 |
| KI7MT | then sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean | 01:59 |
| gurugeek | oppositescopez_: what is reaver? | 01:59 |
| oppositescopez_ | gurugeek: are you trying to find the password? | 02:00 |
| dr_willis | !info reaver | 02:00 |

| oppositescopez_ | gurugeek: moniter your wireless card with aircrack and use brute force with reaver | 02:00 |
| KI7MT | uronu, you may want to ask in ubuntu-server, they may have better options. | 02:00 |
| uronu | is there a correct setup of pgina to connect with ldap server? | 02:00 |
| root | toor | 02:00 |

| dr_willis | and people say linux is hard. ;) | 02:04 |

| TsarObomba | even on plasma active | 02:05 |
| KI7MT | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 02:05 |
| TsarObomba | it just moves the cursor | 02:05 |
| an3k | dr_willis: hard because complex :) | 02:05 |
| KI7MT | oppositescopez_, then we'll go back after Chromium, when your uypdates are dont. | 02:05 |
| KI7MT | done ... | 02:05 |
| oppositescopez_ | KI7MT: didnt get errord from that apt-get | 02:06 |
| KI7MT | Is it updating ? | 02:06 |
| oppositescopez_ | KI7MT: well the first one, im in process of distro , but im running a 100kb internet connection | 02:07 |
| LostMonk | any dual boot experts around? | 02:07 |
| oppositescopez_ | LostMonk: grub, end of story | 02:07 |
| LostMonk | yeah, you fail already | 02:07 |
| an3k | LostMonk: Ubuntu and ... ? | 02:07 |
| LostMonk | win 7 | 02:07 |
| LostMonk | its not letting me movee files from the win partition over | 02:07 |
| KI7MT | oppositescopez_, Ok. Your not upgrading Distro's only updating to the latest in 12.10 or whatever your version is. | 02:07 |
| oppositescopez_ | LostMonk: hehe i dual boot win xp and lubuntu with it? | 02:07 |
| an3k | LostMonk: What filesystem does the ubuntu sys use? | 02:08 |
| LostMonk | there is a lot more to dual booting than just grub | 02:08 |
| oppositescopez_ | KI7MT: you know what i ment ~.~ | 02:08 |
| LostMonk | ext 4 | 02:08 |
| KI7MT | :-) | 02:08 |
| an3k | LostMonk: Windows is stupid and cannot understand ext4 | 02:08 |
| an3k | or ext3 | 02:08 |
| LostMonk | well shit | 02:08 |
| an3k | or ... | 02:08 |
| an3k | :) | 02:08 |
| oppositescopez_ | LostMonk: haha i was reffering to a starting point :p | 02:08 |
| oppositescopez_ | fat 32 for windows right? | 02:09 |
| KI7MT | oppositescopez_, In any case, I'm glad it's updating, that's a good thing | 02:09 |
| an3k | LostMonk: you can find a kind of hacked driver for ext4 but these are not very reliable | 02:09 |
| LostMonk | then should I add an extra partition in my linux side to cooy them to/ | 02:09 |
| LostMonk | copy* | 02:09 |
| LostMonk | fat 32? | 02:09 |
| an3k | fat32 works | 02:09 |
| LostMonk | yeah, only back in winxp | 02:09 |
| wilee-nilee | ntfs for sharing is common | 02:09 |
| LostMonk | the win7 part is ntfs | 02:09 |
| an3k | but max 4GB filesize and ...well ... FAT :) | 02:09 |
| oppositescopez_ | KI7MT: lol 17%. chugging along | 02:09 |
| LostMonk | trying to get all mymusic and stufff moved over to just kill that os | 02:10 |
| KI7MT | As long as it's making progress, that's ok :-) | 02:10 |
| an3k | LostMonk: why not copying from ubuntu? | 02:10 |
| oppositescopez_ | yeah ntfs failed when i ttried that i think FAT 32 is best? | 02:10 |
| an3k | if windows cant write onto ubuntu use ubuntu to read from windows :) | 02:10 |
| LostMonk | I am using ubuntu to move them over | 02:10 |
| rscnt | what? | 02:11 |
| rscnt | how? | 02:11 |
| oppositescopez_ | this is EXACTLY why i have an extra hard drive for storage | 02:11 |
| LostMonk | could it be a missing mount option from the default ? | 02:11 |
| LostMonk | sure oppositescopez_ , send me a $100 for an extra external drive | 02:11 |
| an3k | well, afaik you have to manually mount an external partition | 02:12 |
| an3k | or lets say a "non OS"-partition :) | 02:12 |
| LostMonk | yeah, but its just right click mount | 02:12 |
| === gugurang is now known as gurugeek | ||
| oppositescopez_ | LostMonk: haha there not 100$ lol i use a 10 gig its all i need for music | 02:12 |
| LostMonk | wonder if I should be using a different set of options from cli | 02:12 |
| LostMonk | lol | 02:12 |
| an3k | LostMonk: so what do you see if you try to access the win7 ntfs partition? | 02:13 |
| LostMonk | I have 215 gigs of music alone | 02:13 |
| LostMonk | an3k, I see everything, just not able to copy it over | 02:13 |
| wilee-nilee | 120$ was a 2 terrabyte external | 02:13 |
| oppositescopez_ | LostMonk: and actualy i have 2 haha i had to cut down on music for my 500 gigs of movies :P | 02:13 |
| an3k | LostMonk: what'S the errormsg? | 02:13 |
| LostMonk | 1 sec | 02:13 |
| oppositescopez_ | KI7MT: lol riding dead on 100 kbs 29 % | 02:14 |
| an3k | I once had a "full" 500 GB hdd. Windows thought it crashed and "fixed" the File Allocation Table. I lost everything. Since then I'm using Hardware RAID :) | 02:14 |
| LostMonk | heh, nm | 02:15 |
| LostMonk | I guess the last thing I tried worked | 02:15 |
| LostMonk | I just needed to remount it again | 02:15 |
| LostMonk | LOL | 02:15 |
| an3k | :) | 02:15 |
| LostMonk | been a long day | 02:15 |
| LostMonk | :P | 02:15 |
| oppositescopez_ | KI7MT: haha funny story about why my connections so bad | 02:15 |
| an3k | if you change mounting options its always better to manually remount ;) | 02:15 |
| LostMonk | still wish we had native netflix support | 02:16 |
| an3k | never trust software you didn't built in a backdoor yourself :D | 02:16 |
| LostMonk | hehe | 02:16 |
| oppositescopez_ | KI7MT: it sais approx 30 minutes.. uhh, you gonna be around that long? | 02:16 |
| LostMonk | I dont have the time to invest for all that anymore | 02:16 |
| LostMonk | or Id be using arch | 02:16 |
| an3k | I would like to see trakt.tv support | 02:16 |
| LostMonk | :) | 02:16 |
| LostMonk | gues they updated the amd driver | 02:17 |
| KI7MT | Yeah, Im build a box from scratch so will be here for a while. I have my own mirror at the hosue, so updates and installs are seriously fast. | 02:17 |
| oppositescopez_ | am i allowed to talk about off-topic things while in the midst of getting help? | 02:17 |
| LostMonk | i get an unsupported hardware graphic now | 02:17 |
| Pici | oppositescopez_: if you do it in the offtopic channel, sure. | 02:17 |
| dr_willis | !netflix | 02:18 |
| ubottu | If you use Netflix, there is an unofficial solution for using it in Ubuntu detailed in http://www.compholio.com/netflix-desktop/ - bug reports in https://bugs.launchpad.net/netflix-desktop | 02:18 |
| an3k | oppositescopez_: as long as Pici doesn't notice :) | 02:18 |
| LostMonk | yeah, I dont use wine | 02:18 |
| wilee-nilee | LostMonk, It is all in a package it install sitself. | 02:18 |
| wilee-nilee | itself* | 02:18 |
| oppositescopez_ | an3k: lol too late im guessing? | 02:19 |
| LostMonk | nah, i dont use wine on principle | 02:19 |
| oppositescopez_ | an3k: :p | 02:19 |
| an3k | LostMonk: Well, at least you can see something. I can use Ubuntu on my main computer because after installation and login the whole system starts to heavily lag and finally completely freeze up | 02:19 |
| oppositescopez_ | haha how do you pm again? | 02:19 |
| LostMonk | ack | 02:19 |
| LostMonk | no bueno | 02:19 |
| wilee-nilee | I don't use wine, but I have no principals. lol | 02:19 |
| an3k | oppositescopez_: /msg nickname text | 02:19 |
| virgenmadre | is there any other virus scanner in Linux other then clamtk | 02:19 |
| wilee-nilee | !av | 02:19 |
| ubottu | Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 02:19 |
| an3k | LostMonk: I mean I cannot | 02:19 |
| LostMonk | try different grub options on boot? | 02:20 |
| virgenmadre | well that is precisely the problem :) I am scanning a really really infected computer under windows its a separate hard drive. | 02:20 |
| reisio | virgenmadre: there doesn't need to be | 02:20 |
| reisio | but yes there is | 02:20 |
| an3k | virgenmadre: on my nas i have clamav but i guess its the same | 02:20 |
| LostMonk | get a boot cd to work on it | 02:21 |
| KI7MT | Avast, Bitdefender, Clam adn AVG, but bet one is dont use root / sudo and ya got no issues :-) | 02:21 |
| wilee-nilee | virgenmadre, Most of the major AV providers have live cd's | 02:21 |
| an3k | LostMonk: you mean me? | 02:21 |
| reisio | yeah clamtk would be a frontend to clamav | 02:21 |
| KI7MT | best one .. | 02:21 |
| LostMonk | an3k, yeah | 02:21 |
| LostMonk | I know mint had crazy issues on here if I didnt use a grub option | 02:21 |
| dr_willis | its best to always use several differnt av scanners to be sure. | 02:21 |
| an3k | hmm, never played that many with these. I guess its gfx card related because I saw some typical errors on screen | 02:21 |
| LostMonk | noauto something or other | 02:21 |
| an3k | have a GTX580 with 3 GB RAM. that may be a issue :) | 02:22 |
| LostMonk | possible | 02:22 |
| LostMonk | brb, gotta reboot after the updates | 02:22 |
| legend123 | In Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS, there is a blank screen after screensaver when it is idle for more than 2-3 hours. Is this a bug? | 02:23 |
| legend123 | There is no problem in accessing tty terminals. | 02:23 |
| oppositescopez_ | an3k: haha im so outdated. -nvidia geforce 280 | 02:24 |
| dr_willis | legend123: likely its a power saveing setting kicking in aftger the screensaver has ran for a while. | 02:24 |
| kostkon | legend123, that's normal behaviour. the gnome screensaver nowadays is just the blank screen. if you want fancy screensavers, you need to install xscreensaver | 02:24 |
| an3k | oppositescopez_: still have a 295 here but I don't like these Dual-GPU cards. Not until they're like Dual/Quad-Core CPUs ;) | 02:24 |
| KI7MT | oppositescopez_, my workstation has 4x 9800 GTX'a LOL .. but they still work so not breaking a box that works :-) | 02:25 |
| virgenmadre | wilee-nilee, ohh nice alright will take that into consideration | 02:26 |
| kostkon | legend123, or you mean blank screen after the screensaver has kicked in | 02:26 |
| legend123 | dr_willis, kostkon : It's not about that. I have already installed xscreensaver. When after some time i come back to my computer and try to remove screensaver by clicking or by keyboard, then all i get is a mouse cursor and a blank screen. | 02:26 |
| kostkon | legend123, hmm that's not normal then | 02:26 |
| an3k | I once owned a 3Dfx Voodoo5 6000...what a card | 02:26 |
| oppositescopez_ | KI7MT: haha if i had that my cpu would be like , nope lol too much (melts) | 02:27 |
| legend123 | lol yes. | 02:27 |
| wilee-nilee | virgenmadre, The user not have a backup image? | 02:28 |
| oppositescopez_ | I HAD 2 TITANS> nope just kidding im poor | 02:28 |
| legend123 | After that i have to manually restart lightdm (sudo service lightdm restart) in tty terminal to get back normal graphical interface. | 02:28 |
| kostkon | legend123, maybe the card tells the monitor to go into standby mode and it fails. actually, how are you overcoming this when it happens | 02:29 |
| oppositescopez_ | even though i am using like , the most expencive thermaltake case (with its lovely 700w power suply) on the market | 02:29 |
| virgenmadre | wilee-nilee, nope | 02:29 |
| an3k | isn't there a setting in the bios what kind of standby/suspend you want for the display? | 02:29 |
| virgenmadre | this hard drive is one of the worst cases that I have seen. | 02:29 |
| virgenmadre | I am just wondering I have finished a scan with clamtk | 02:30 |
| an3k | virgenmadre: IBM DTLA? :D | 02:30 |
| virgenmadre | that I left for running for a friend | 02:30 |
| oppositescopez_ | virgenmadre: haha . you would be suprised what ive dealt with with hard drives :p | 02:30 |
| legend123 | kostkon: This problem has started just after a fresh installation of 12.04.3 LTS. It wasn't there in 11.10 earlier. And i am on dual boot with windows 7. In windows 7, there's no such black screen after screensaver. | 02:30 |
| virgenmadre | it shows the history and the file, but how do I know if the viruses have been quarantined? | 02:30 |
| wilee-nilee | virgenmadre, I would not fix it, you can't, pull out what is needed and do a fresh install. | 02:30 |
| an3k | same advice from me | 02:31 |
| oppositescopez_ | KI7MT: for the update 70% but now says 50 minutes o.0? | 02:31 |
| virgenmadre | I already did a Linux install on a separate hard drive which is where I am talking to you in | 02:31 |
| kostkon | legend123, do you reboot when it happens? | 02:31 |
| virgenmadre | but before making a back up of any files on that virus infected beast | 02:31 |
| KI7MT | oppositescopez_, that's ok, it's updating, that's what is important. | 02:31 |
| virgenmadre | I want to take out as much as possible | 02:31 |
| legend123 | kostkon: No. I just restart lightdm service and everything is normal again. | 02:32 |
| oppositescopez_ | KI7MT: oh never mind had a connection drop i hadnt noticed, will be done in no time. 20 min tops | 02:32 |
| an3k | virgenmadre: i hope you're here because his next OS is Ubuntu and not because you needed help with a virus scanner?! :) | 02:32 |
| kostkon | legend123, ok | 02:32 |
| virgenmadre | It is already running Ubuntu :) | 02:32 |
| an3k | very nice :) | 02:32 |
| kostkon | legend123, have you checked the gnome power and display settings, in case they are overriding the xcreesaver ones at some point | 02:33 |
| legend123 | kostkon: Yes. It's alright. I have told it to "Don't Suspend". | 02:34 |
| virgenmadre | does clamtk after scanning automatically get rid of the viruses? | 02:34 |
| virgenmadre | :( this is what I am unsure of | 02:34 |
| kostkon | legend123, also have you tried using a lighter 2d/non 3d screensaver in xscreensaver in case that it causes your X etc to crash | 02:34 |
| virgenmadre | I have not used the software enough to know that | 02:35 |
| virgenmadre | I dont have time to wait for another scan | 02:35 |
| KI7MT | virgenmadre, It's unlikely, though not impossible, that you have any virus at all on your system. | 02:36 |
| legend123 | kostkon: I haven't tried this thing yet. | 02:36 |
| oppositescopez_ | how do you join the offtopic chat? | 02:36 |
| kostkon | legend123, try setting xscreensaver to use only one screensaver, not randomly and select the simplest one you can find and see if that will make a difference | 02:37 |
| dr_willis | virgenmadre: it might have that option, but by default i think it just shows/logs what its found | 02:37 |
| legend123 | kostkon: Thank you. I will try this. By the way, can you look at my dmesg logs and cross check? | 02:39 |
| kostkon | legend123, have you found any errors in them? | 02:39 |
| legend123 | kostkon: There are some entries at the bottom some information about display etc. and i am not sure what they exactly mean. Have a look at this, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6095252/ | 02:42 |
| oppositescopez | whoops dissconected | 02:43 |
| oppositescopez | is the guy i was talking to still here | 02:43 |
| oppositescopez | KI7MT: ok its done downloading | 02:44 |
| kostkon | legend123, everything looks normal and the warning "WARNING! power/level is deprecated; use power/control instead" seems to be usb related | 02:44 |
| kostkon | legend123, you could check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 02:45 |
| KI7MT | oppositescopez, run the update again, the just to be sure all is well, I'd do a re-boot befoer we get into Chromium. | 02:46 |
| oppositescopez | Ki7MT: so is this updating software? | 02:47 |
| oppositescopez | KI7MT: firefox wants to restart now brb | 02:48 |
| oppositescopez | KI7MT: oh wait its still unpacking | 02:48 |
| KI7MT | Yeah, make sure it's dont updating before doing anything else. | 02:48 |
| KI7MT | it's done .. .. .. | 02:49 |
| oppositescopez | KI7MT: oh yeah i guess this could potentially be a ubuntu question.. is there any way to install windows drivers to ubuntu to be copied overr to windows? | 02:50 |
| kostkon | oppositescopez, none i know of | 02:50 |
| oppositescopez | KI7MT: wireless card drivers are not on my windows, so i cant connect unless i have the drivers. | 02:51 |
| KI7MT | Yes, you modprobe drivers, but it's not for the faint at heart :-) | 02:51 |
| oppositescopez | then im never gonna be able to connect on windows :/ | 02:51 |
| oppositescopez | oh | 02:52 |
| KI7MT | Modprobe Windows Drivers to Linux that is. | 02:52 |
| kostkon | oppositescopez, download the driver file, access it from windows? | 02:52 |
| dr_willis | to be copied over to windows? Im not clear on what you are trying to do | 02:52 |
| oppositescopez | kostkon: i cant | 02:52 |
| dr_willis | windows xan acxcess files on your ubuntu box if you set it up right. | 02:52 |
| oppositescopez | kostkon: haha i broke my dualboot not to long ago and have to move the sata cables each time for each boot | 02:52 |
| KI7MT | oppositescopez, That's what I'd do, while on Linux, DL the Windos driver, save to USB or shatever, and load it when you boot windows. | 02:52 |
| === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler | ||
| oppositescopez | ok ill try that later | 02:53 |
| kostkon | oppositescopez, is it a dual boot on 2 disks? | 02:53 |
| oppositescopez | KI7MT: i got "system program problem detected" just now | 02:53 |
| oppositescopez | kostkon: haha i have 4 hard drives 1 windows 1 lubuntu 2 for 110 gigs of extra storage | 02:53 |
| legend123 | kostkon: You are right. That usb warning is related to a external hard drive when i safely remove it. Xorg logs seem normal to me except some errors starting at line number 324. Have a look at this, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6095289/ | 02:54 |
| oppositescopez | kostkon: ill just copy it to my extra storage | 02:54 |
| kostkon | oppositescopez, yeap. you can even extra the file if needed be, if you install 7zip in ubuntu | 02:54 |
| kostkon | extract* | 02:54 |
| oppositescopez | kostkon: oh ok thanks :) | 02:55 |
| === JackMc is now known as Auv5 | ||
| kostkon | oppositescopez, extract .exes or .cabs | 02:55 |
| KI7MT | oppositescopez, I get that too sometimes, mine is from a stupid Weather APP that I installed. | 02:55 |
| oppositescopez | KI7MT: i get it every time on startup | 02:56 |
| oppositescopez | KI7MT: like so many times | 02:56 |
| === sandyd_ is now known as PyroSandy | ||
| oppositescopez | KI7MT: but it doesnt bother me | 02:56 |
| oppositescopez | KI7MT: nor affect me in any way other than having to close it | 02:56 |
| kostkon | legend123, everything looks fine, i think | 02:56 |
| KI7MT | oppositescopez, to stop getting those msg's: gksudo gedit /etc/default/apport and change the text "enabled=1" to "enabled-0" | 02:56 |
| oppositescopez | you mean enabled = 0? | 02:57 |
| KI7MT | However, that disables all msg's so if you wont get any msg's then | 02:57 |
| oppositescopez | dont need them | 02:58 |
| KI7MT | 1=Yes I want them, and 0=No, dont bug me with that noise. | 02:58 |

| ClumsyFairyQueen | karen_, check workgroup and if other computer ispingable | 03:18 |
| oppositescopez | KI7MT: apparently i still have iced tea but its disabled | 03:18 |
| ClumsyFairyQueen | if workgroup is not the same on both computers, it wont work. | 03:18 |
| karen_ | nothing is ping about. they do not see each other. I hate them both. | 03:18 |
| KI7MT | That's probably a good thing :-) | 03:18 |

| oppositescopez | should i try update again before reboot like you said earlier? | 03:25 |
| KI7MT | No we'll do that after re-boot. | 03:26 |
| oppositescopez | oh my software updater showed up before i did that. isnt that what i just did? should i just close it? | 03:26 |
| rscnt | hi | 03:26 |
| === sandyd is now known as ClumsyFairyQueen | ||
| oppositescopez | KI7MT: or did i just o something else? | 03:27 |
| KI7MT | Yes, close the updater window, shutdown -r | 03:27 |
| oppositescopez | k | 03:27 |
| KI7MT | the updater was catching up from when we unhung the Chromium stuff. | 03:28 |
| oppositescopez | yeah | 03:28 |
| oppositescopez | btw that shutdown command failed :p | 03:28 |
| oppositescopez | Try `shutdown --help' for more information. | 03:28 |
| oppositescopez | haha | 03:28 |
| krux | shutdown -h now | 03:28 |
| oppositescopez | same result | 03:29 |
| KI7MT | LOL it wasnt' a command, proper command is: sudo shutdown -r now | 03:29 |
| oppositescopez | oh whoops | 03:29 |
| oppositescopez | :P | 03:29 |
| oppositescopez_ | im back | 03:33 |
| oppositescopez_ | hating now that i have this theme removed | 03:33 |
| oppositescopez_ | it just updated | 03:33 |
| oppositescopez_ | KI7MT: so update again? | 03:33 |
| oppositescopez_ | hello? | 03:34 |
| oppositescopez_ | did i break this again ~.~ | 03:35 |
| ClumsyFairyQueen | oppositescopez_, btw, what problem are you having - cant see what it is since my server decided to go into a RAID rebuild | 03:35 |
| KI7MT | Yeah, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 03:35 |
| oppositescopez_ | KI7MT: i cant see the time in the bottom left any more (just throwing that out there) | 03:35 |
| KI7MT | oppositescopez_, Im compilign code in xterm also, so dont ahve this up all the time. | 03:36 |
| oppositescopez_ | KI7MT: yeah sorry i just didnt know if this had stopped working again | 03:36 |
| KI7MT | Yep, Lubuntu bottom bar has issues, things disappear, get hung up, all sorts of things. | 03:36 |
| chucho | hi all. looking for recommendations for visualizing a tcpdump pcap capture file | 03:36 |
| oppositescopez_ | KI7MT: found the problem | 03:36 |
| KI7MT | with what the clock ? | 03:37 |
| oppositescopez_ | KI7MT: do you happen to know the color code format for it? | 03:37 |
| KI7MT | or the main problem | 03:37 |
| oppositescopez_ | yeah | 03:37 |
| oppositescopez_ | clock | 03:37 |
| KI7MT | color-code = No, pass on that one. | 03:37 |
| KI7MT | I've not spent that much time in Lub. | 03:38 |
| KI7MT | I test the installs for UB QA, but that's about it. | 03:38 |
| ClumsyFairyQueen | chucho, wireshark | 03:38 |
| oppositescopez_ | KI7MT: know an alternative ? | 03:38 |
| oppositescopez_ | KI7MT: got an error at the end of upgrade http://paste.ubuntu.com/6095416/ | 03:39 |
| chucho | ClumsyFairyQueen , thats what im trying rigth now. Was looking for any other alternatives with more visualization options | 03:39 |
| ClumsyFairyQueen | chucho, tnv maybe | 03:40 |
| ClumsyFairyQueen | http://tnv.sourceforge.net/ | 03:40 |
| chucho | for some reason tnv doesnt display anything after "import pcap file" | 03:41 |
| DaphneGreengrass | sorry, those are the only two I normally use :| | 03:41 |
| KI7MT | oppositescopez_, Alternative to what? ? man this apparmor is a pain, as is this silly Chromium browser. | 03:42 |
| oppositescopez_ | KI7MT: an alternative clock :P | 03:42 |
| oppositescopez_ | KI7MT: apparently you cant change the colors | 03:42 |
| jrib | KI7MT, oppositescopez_: actually, this is probably due to whatever /usr/bin/start is. | 03:43 |
| jrib | KI7MT, oppositescopez_: because "start" probably should be /sbin/start | 03:43 |
| oppositescopez_ | that actualy just started showing up | 03:43 |
| oppositescopez_ | the /usr/bin | 03:43 |
| oppositescopez_ | JESUS | 03:44 |
| jrib | oppositescopez_: what *is* it? | 03:44 |
| oppositescopez_ | everything just broke | 03:44 |
| oppositescopez_ | uhh im just gonna leave my toolbar alone x.x | 03:44 |
| oppositescopez_ | and the directory usr/bin just started showing up after i deleted chrome | 03:45 |
| KI7MT | Good Plan, fix one issue at a time :-) | 03:45 |
| oppositescopez_ | i just got like a broken screen with alot of system problems once i removed clock o.0 | 03:45 |
| oppositescopez_ | ok ill look at that | 03:46 |
| DaphneGreengrass | oppositescopez_, you should have seen when i removed networkmanager.... :D | 03:46 |
| KI7MT | I thinks it's getting on the apparmor profile, and it needs to be updated but I'm just not sure. | 03:46 |
| oppositescopez_ | found the problem, know whats causing it, feel like an idiot!!!!! | 03:47 |
| oppositescopez_ | let me give advise to ALL ubuntu users in the ENTIRE world | 03:48 |
| oppositescopez_ | NEVER< EVER, EVER, install modio through terminal -.- just dont | 03:48 |
| oppositescopez_ | i did that and i thouroughly remember being redirected to porn. multiple times. never know why. its cause it created this file when i sudo-apt get installed modio http://paste.ubuntu.com/6095429/ | 03:49 |
| oppositescopez_ | and this has been trying to run every time i installed anything | 03:50 |
| oppositescopez_ | but because i use "sudo" to install it wouldnt run the chromes in that file | 03:50 |
| KI7MT | Hmmmm to much *orn surfing :-) | 03:50 |
| KI7MT | I was thinking the Chromium profile was m,issing, and that is why it kept hanging, was about to write a Bug up on it :-) | 03:51 |
| wilee-nilee | oppositescopez_, This is a family channel do not post stuff like that. | 03:51 |
| oppositescopez_ | whoops | 03:51 |
| oppositescopez_ | it was advise to never use modio. completely related :p | 03:52 |
| oppositescopez_ | but it wont happen again ~.~ | 03:52 |
| KI7MT | Ok, so you removed modio .. and then what? | 03:52 |
| oppositescopez_ | haha no all i have to do is delete that file. | 03:53 |
| KI7MT | Ahh .. ok . then you can update without getting the rsyslog and chromium errors ? | 03:53 |
| oppositescopez_ | i never actualy got around to removing i ti just stopped using it | 03:53 |
| oppositescopez_ | about to find out | 03:53 |
| KI7MT | kk | 03:54 |
| oppositescopez_ | yep ^_^ | 03:54 |
| KI7MT | So, no errors now ? | 03:55 |
| oppositescopez_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6095438/ see for yourself | 03:55 |
| LinuxGold | rm -rf start?! | 03:55 |
| LinuxGold | whoa... | 03:56 |
| oppositescopez_ | haha :p | 03:56 |
| KI7MT | YOu shoudl probablt do an autoremove and autoclean also: sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean | 03:56 |
| KI7MT | should probably .. | 03:56 |
| KI7MT | then update, upgrade and then sudo apt-get install chromium-browser | 03:57 |
| oppositescopez_ | haha now i can continue the only reason i wanted this error to go away :D | 03:58 |
| oppositescopez_ | trying to get league of legends to run on linux ;D | 03:58 |
| KI7MT | That's not hard, apparmor is hard ;'-) | 03:59 |
| oppositescopez_ | so this does mean no more errors right? | 03:59 |
| sqlnoob | I'm trying to change my motd however my changes to /var/run/motd does not become permanent. I'm not trying to install update-motd but trying to do manually. Is there something I'm missing? | 04:00 |
| KI7MT | oppositescopez_, Yeah, your all sorted, do the updates, then, re-install chromium | 04:00 |
| oppositescopez_ | wow only took all day | 04:01 |
| KI7MT | My advise, go through the GUI package manager, Synaptic or Ubuntu SW Center. | 04:01 |
| oppositescopez_ | but why would modio do something like that? | 04:01 |
| KI7MT | command-line is good, but one can get into deep-woods in a hurry. | 04:01 |
| KI7MT | Without looking at the Modio source code, there's no telling why, I would "NOT" re-install it. | 04:02 |
| oppositescopez_ | not planning on it x.x | 04:03 |
| * LinuxGold is running Ubuntu desktop inside iMac | 04:03 | |
| KI7MT | Ok, im back to glibc and binutils compiling :-) | 04:03 |
| oppositescopez_ | haha ok, im off to continue doind... well .. whatever it is that i do :p | 04:04 |

| Alvein | hi all | 05:03 |
| Alvein | how to stress test to ethernet card ? | 05:03 |
| Dr_Willis | load a bunch of torrents ;) | 05:04 |
| arctanx | Hi there, I'm trying to create a samba audit file by logging to local5. When I add an rsyslog conf "local5.notice /var/log/samba/audit.log" then "& ~" on the next line, it does stop the messages appearing in /var/log/syslog. Unfortunately audit.log is created but has no content. Could anyone please give me a pointer? | 05:05 |
| Alvein | Dr_Willis, :) I have the server periodically lost touch with the outside world, I want to find the reason, I think the iron .. Torrent will not help :) | 05:06 |
| Alvein | iron=hardware ) | 05:06 |
| Dr_Willis | Alvein: its likely the dmesg messges will mention if theres some sort of hardware issue going on with the netsork card | 05:07 |
| clue_h | If you stress test it you may overwrite important info in logs that may have told you about the drop | 05:07 |
| clue_h | or increase the haystack | 05:08 |
| Alvein | dmesg | grep eth is empty :) | 05:08 |
| Konigsberg7 | I got 12.04 non LTS | 05:08 |
| Dr_Willis | monitor it for a few days perhaps | 05:08 |
| Konigsberg7 | is there still support on 12.04 not LTS | 05:09 |
| Konigsberg7 | non* | 05:09 |
| Dr_Willis | !12.04 | 05:09 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the current !LTS release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1204 | 05:09 |
| Alvein | Dr_Willis, this problem since Monday | 05:09 |
| Alvein | :) | 05:09 |
| Dr_Willis | how do you get 12.04 nonlts ? | 05:09 |
| clue_h | I was thinking the same. | 05:09 |
| wilee-nilee | Konigsberg7, if it's canonical you have lts | 05:09 |
| Konigsberg7 | i dont have lts, i have 12.04 regular xubuntu | 05:10 |
| Konigsberg7 | as in regular meaning non-lts | 05:10 |
| Dr_Willis | then you should just say you hve Xubuntu 12.04 | 05:10 |
| Dr_Willis | and you should just ask the question | 05:10 |
| Dr_Willis | lts dosent really mean a whole lot for most people/cases | 05:10 |
| Konigsberg7 | alright, I have Xubuntu 12.04 (non LTS), is still updates still coming to it or is it done? | 05:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Konigsberg7: it still has updates as far as i know. | 05:11 |
| Dr_Willis | its not like a bug fix in for the lts supported packages will see you are on xubuntu and refuse to install | 05:11 |
| Dr_Willis | i think you are worring way to much about lts/nonlts | 05:11 |
| Dr_Willis | install ubuntu 12.04.4 or whatever and install xubuntu-desktop package if you want to. | 05:12 |
| Konigsberg7 | no i was just wondering | 05:12 |
| Konigsberg7 | i dont care if support ends or not, i was just curious if it did | 05:13 |
| Dr_Willis | lts is mainly support for a core set of packages for security fixs | 05:13 |
| Dr_Willis | and with 12.04 they have sprt of expaneded it a little bit to include a few other things. | 05:13 |
| Juiffi | hello! | 05:13 |
| Dr_Willis | 12.04.4 for example has updted kernel and the X stack i belive | 05:13 |
| Juiffi | So, after some problems I got my system to run. The C1E support was broken, probably by the mobo | 05:14 |
| Juiffi | now everythin is stable | 05:14 |
| Juiffi | but Wolf:ET is annoying me | 05:15 |
| Juiffi | there is no sound | 05:15 |
| Juiffi | no matter what I do | 05:15 |
| Dr_Willis | thats not supriseding | 05:15 |
| Dr_Willis | that game is ancient. :) | 05:15 |
| Juiffi | "echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss" | 05:15 |
| Dr_Willis | i rember sound issues with it like years and years ago. | 05:15 |
| Juiffi | returns just No such file or directory | 05:16 |
| Juiffi | Yep, but we still throw LAN-parties and it's an all-time favourite | 05:16 |
| Dr_Willis | could be the oss support backwards support has finally been removed | 05:16 |
| Juiffi | well, that pretty much does it then? | 05:17 |
| Juiffi | it's beyond fix? | 05:17 |

| Juiffi | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnemyTerritory#Sound_Issues I've been following this | 05:18 |
| shajeen | is ubuntu 14.0 released? | 05:18 |
| Juiffi | pretty much all I could do is done | 05:18 |
| Dr_Willis | and how old is that guide? ;) | 05:18 |
| Juiffi | no idea | 05:18 |
| Juiffi | :D | 05:18 |

| Dr_Willis | !info oss-compat | 05:19 |
| ubottu | oss-compat (source: oss-compat): Open Sound System (OSS) compatibility package. In component universe, is extra. Version 2ubuntu1 (raring), package size 4 kB, installed size 54 kB | 05:19 |
| Dr_Willis | perhaps you need that package? | 05:19 |
| Juiffi | Hmm, i'nn install it | 05:19 |
| Dr_Willis | i just googled for ubuntu oss support ;) and saw that mentioned | 05:19 |
| Juiffi | echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss still fails | 05:20 |
| Dr_Willis | http://superuser.com/questions/491822/how-to-run-oss-dependent-application-dev-dsp | 05:20 |
| Dr_Willis | is there a /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss ? | 05:21 |
| Dr_Willis | perhaps your path is wrong | 05:21 |
| Dr_Willis | !info alsa-oss | 05:21 |

| Dr_Willis | try that one perhaps also. ;) | 05:22 |
| Juiffi | alsa-oss package seem legit | 05:22 |
| Dr_Willis | alsa-oss which provides an aoss command. Then run aoss program to magically give program oss emulation. | 05:22 |
| Juiffi | yep | 05:22 |
| Juiffi | will try -> | 05:22 |
| Dr_Willis | 'aoss command' | 05:22 |
| * Dr_Willis is just hitting up google and the forums and askubuntu.com - no idea of any of this works | 05:23 | |
| Juiffi | Still broken | 05:23 |
| Dr_Willis | at least some of these tips are dated in 2012 ;) so are not 5+ yr old guides | 05:23 |
| Dr_Willis | what command did you run exactly? | 05:23 |
| Juiffi | aoss et? | 05:24 |
| Dr_Willis | you are asking me? I dont know wht you ran. Heh, been literally 5+ years since i last ran ET | 05:25 |
| Dr_Willis | i thought there was a remake of it that used the data files but had a more mondern engine | 05:25 |
| Dr_Willis | you were doing those echo commands as root? | 05:26 |
| Juiffi | sudo -i does the trick I presume? | 05:27 |
| Dr_Willis | yep. | 05:27 |
| Dr_Willis | hmm. this url says it can work with alsa/pulse near the end. http://askubuntu.com/questions/17579/how-to-fix-sound-in-wolfenstein-enemy-territory | 05:28 |

| ubottu | Launchpad bug 996082 in GetDeb Software Portal "No sound in Enemy Territory on 64-bit Ubuntu" [Medium,Fix released] | 05:30 |
| Juiffi | Yeah, jsut removed the old .run file and going to getdeb/playdeb | 05:30 |
| Juiffi | Fed up with trickery | 05:31 |
| Dr_Willis | yep. seen several guides say the ones from Getdeb worked | 05:31 |
| Juiffi | Lol, maybe I should actually keep up with the progress | 05:40 |
| Juiffi | just added playdeb repo and apt-get install enemy-territory | 05:40 |

| ackpacket | Is there a difference between putting the ubuntu dvd on a usb, and running the "live cd" option, vs actually installing ubuntu to the usb? | 05:43 |
| Dr_Willis | you can do a live-usb setup which is the dvd on usb + a peristant save file. | 05:43 |
| ackpacket | is there a speed difference? | 05:44 |
| Dr_Willis | OR do a full install to a usb flash drive. like you would to a hard drive | 05:44 |
| ackpacket | right, those are the two options I am examining | 05:44 |
| Dr_Willis | a USB should be faster then a dvd i imagine | 05:44 |
| Dr_Willis | I do full installs to USB all the time. | 05:44 |
| ackpacket | Mine usually fail miserably | 05:44 |
| Juiffi | I'd put my money on Full install on USB | 05:44 |
| Dr_Willis | a live+persistant save - is more for testing/short term ussage | 05:44 |
| Dr_Willis | ive never had a full install on usb fail on me, | 05:45 |
| ackpacket | It's always something | 05:45 |
| ackpacket | always | 05:45 |
| Dr_Willis | ive definatly had live+peristant - have all sorts of weirdness | 05:45 |
| wilee-nilee | me neither | 05:45 |
| ackpacket | for instance, once when doing a full install, I was able to select the usb drive at some point | 05:45 |
| ackpacket | but when it came to the bootloader, it only gave me the option of applying it to my computer's actual HD | 05:45 |
| Dr_Willis | you can only do so many changes/updates to the persistant save befor it gets goofed up. | 05:45 |
| ackpacket | another time, the install went smoothly, but when trying to start the OS, it would always freeze | 05:46 |
| Dr_Willis | the pull down menu for me almost always showe the proper usb drive these days | 05:46 |
| wilee-nilee | ackpacket, Are you familiar with using the dropdown in the manual option? | 05:46 |
| ackpacket | wilee-nilee: no | 05:46 |
| Dr_Willis | i always use the 'manual' partioning snce i want to make the swap partion 512mb in size in most cases | 05:46 |
| ackpacket | tbh, I'm unfamiliar with linux on the whole, so I don't even grasp the importance of the various partitions | 05:47 |
| Dr_Willis | i often make a /boot/ partition because i set up the usb to also boot the ISO files just in case ;) | 05:47 |
| wilee-nilee | ackpacket, ah, that is important for placing grub. | 05:47 |
| ackpacket | grub is...? | 05:47 |
| ackpacket | It has to do with booting, i know that much | 05:47 |
| wilee-nilee | the bootloader | 05:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Grub needs to go on the MBR of the hard driv you boot | 05:47 |
| ackpacket | Why does linux need a loader like grub? Do all OS's use a setup like that? | 05:47 |
| Dr_Willis | if you install to the usb thats on sdc , you need to be sure grub is going onto sdc, NOT sdc1, not sda, not sdb ;) | 05:48 |
| ackpacket | maybe I shouldn't be bothering this chan with basic questions though | 05:48 |
| wilee-nilee | ackpacket, You could manual boot it. | 05:48 |
| Dr_Willis | ackpacket: windows has its own bootloader its called 'ntldr' dos has its own called. err.. mssys.dos or somting | 05:48 |
| wilee-nilee | bcd from vista on | 05:48 |
| Dr_Willis | live cds normally use isolinux as their bootloader | 05:48 |
| Dr_Willis | live usbs normally use syslinux | 05:49 |
| Dr_Willis | RaspberryPi - does somthing totally different. ;) but thats because the Pi is Special ;P | 05:49 |
| ackpacket | Which of these two options would the two of you use for applying a full install to the usb: I could run the "live-cd" from usbA, and select full install and apply it to usbB, OR I could download the installer that you can run on a windows machine, and select the USB to install to | 05:50 |
| Dr_Willis | ackpacket: the installe ryou run on windows. is wubi.. AVOIDE wubi | 05:50 |
| Dr_Willis | thats not a normal full install at all. | 05:50 |
| ackpacket | I love the pi, it's saved me so much effort when developing specific devices. Can you imagine trying to recode TCP/IP in chips like the avr? | 05:50 |
| Dr_Willis | boot live usbA -> install to bigger usb B | 05:51 |
| ackpacket | is this something I can do on a virtual pc without any problems? | 05:51 |
| Dr_Willis | virtual pc - installing to a real plysical flash drive? | 05:52 |
| ackpacket | setup virtual pc to boot from ubuntu iso, select full install, apply to real physical flash drive | 05:52 |
| Dr_Willis | no idea how it would handle the bootloader with that setup. it may get confused | 05:52 |
| Dr_Willis | if using Vbox. the #vbox guys may know of any issues | 05:53 |

| Dr_Willis | easiest way to get stubborn cards going is to either. run a wire :) untill you get the addational-drivers tool to install the drivers needed.. or buy a nice wifi dongle that works out of the box. and use it to get the addational-drivers ;) | 06:28 |
| agthoma | So I just loaded Ubuntu 13.04 with Gnome....but I have no sound. Multiple message boards have been unable to solve my problem. Anyone know how to fix it? | 06:28 |
| johnlangat | how do i correct this Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 06:28 |
| === c_smith is now known as c_smith_away | ||
| johnlangat | Am new in ubuntu | 06:29 |
| Dr_Willis | johnlangat: only ONE app that is manageing the packages is allowed to run at a time | 06:29 |
| aeon-ltd | agthoma: fresh install? | 06:29 |
| Dr_Willis | johnlangat: so close any other apt tools. | 06:29 |
| agthoma | yes | 06:29 |
| Dr_Willis | !fixapt | 06:29 |
| ubottu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 06:29 |
| aeon-ltd | agthoma: do you have a dedicated sound card? like a pci one? | 06:29 |
| agthoma | I'm on a 2008 macbook air....so it's some little ghetto card. | 06:30 |
| aeon-ltd | ok | 06:30 |
| aeon-ltd | agthoma: check basic stuff like alsamixer, your source, headphone jack occupied etc | 06:30 |
| agthoma | already checked the alsa mixer and tried a force reload on it per a message board. I'm not sure about the headphone jack occupied though | 06:31 |
| aeon-ltd | agthoma: is your jack physically occupied? | 06:32 |
| agthoma | Oh....no | 06:32 |
| agthoma | LOL | 06:32 |
| johnlangat | how do i lock administration directory ubuntu 12.04 | 06:32 |
| agthoma | I thought that was some kind of fantsy linux lingo. :) | 06:33 |
| Ben64 | johnlangat: what are you really trying to accomplish | 06:33 |
| johnlangat | am trying to run sudo apt-get update | 06:34 |
| johnlangat | by i i get message: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 06:34 |
| Ben64 | ok, well close synaptic or update manager or ubuntu software center or whatever is using it | 06:34 |
| johnlangat | Ben64:All are closed | 06:35 |
| Dr_Willis | !fixapt | johnlangat | 06:36 |
| ubottu | johnlangat: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 06:36 |
| kostkon | johnlangat, something is still running, give: ps -A | grep apt | 06:36 |
| Dr_Willis | you could log out/back in and see if it closes out the stuff.. or try that command the bot mentions above. | 06:36 |
| Dr_Willis | its possible the update manager is doing somting in the background also | 06:37 |
| Ben64 | or "sudo fuser -v /var/lib/dpkg/lock" will show you what is using it | 06:37 |
| ry_ | willing to paypal 20 bucks to whoever can help me solve this wifi driver issue | 06:38 |
| agthoma | Willing to help....or actually able to solve? :) | 06:38 |

| kimda | Hi. I am noticing a weird networking problem with a ubuntu guest (kvm). I can ping certain addresses but with another I will not get any reply back. On the host I see with tcpdump requests but no replies. Also when i do a apt-cache search it takes a couple of seconds to receive results. Any ideas what could be causing this? | 06:53 |
| LinuxGold | kimda: cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6 | 06:55 |
| LinuxGold | see if it is 0 or 1 | 06:55 |

| LinuxGold | kimda: check this site out http://askubuntu.com/questions/272796/connecting-to-archive-ubuntu-com-takes-too-long | 06:58 |

| gagan | i have some proplem in ubuntu 13.04 | 06:59 |
| reisio | gagan: hi | 07:00 |
| kimda | LinuxGold, I have changed the settings with sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 but its the same as before | 07:01 |
| LinuxGold | even after rebooted? | 07:01 |
| gagan | reisio: i have some problem in appearence | 07:01 |
| gagan | theme is not changing | 07:02 |
| kimda | no i haven't rebooted it. but i think if you change it like that its immediate | 07:02 |
| gagan | showing only one option high contrest | 07:02 |
| LinuxGold | because the output is still 0 | 07:02 |
| LinuxGold | reboot should change to 1 -- | 07:02 |
| kimda | no its 1 now | 07:03 |
| LinuxGold | cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6 is now 1 right? | 07:03 |
| kimda | yes | 07:05 |
| LinuxGold | ok, is kvm network adapter set to bridged? | 07:05 |
| kimda | yes | 07:05 |
| LinuxGold | accepts all right? | 07:05 |
| kimda | yes i can ssh to it..ping it from the outside and from host | 07:05 |
| kimda | only certain addresses are not pingable | 07:06 |
| raven | hi | 07:06 |
| kimda | from within the guest | 07:06 |
| LinuxGold | ok, is apt still having problem? | 07:06 |
| kimda | from the host i can ping these addresses | 07:06 |
| kimda | yes | 07:06 |
| LinuxGold | interesting... | 07:06 |
| Andre_designer | how can i get volumecontrol in smaller steps by keyboard?? | 07:06 |
| LinuxGold | guest ip on the same subnet as outside? | 07:06 |
| kimda | yes | 07:07 |
| LinuxGold | hmm.. last try -- restart the networking to force guest to get dynamic IP address from dhcp? | 07:07 |
| raven | xubuntu 12.04.3 lts: build of http://sourceforge.net/projects/electricowl/files/latest/download results in that: http://pastebin.com/KFXiqpJn - all headers installed - whats the problem? | 07:08 |
| kimda | unfortunately i cannot do this. the address is a public ip and needs to be accessible from outside. | 07:08 |
| LinuxGold | ah.... | 07:08 |
| Andre_designer | how can i get volumecontrol in smaller steps by keyboard?? | 07:08 |
| kimda | what i was wondering about is that maybe the mac address could be the problem | 07:08 |
| LinuxGold | mac address shouldn't be a problem, I think? | 07:09 |
| LinuxGold | I'm suspecting DNS | 07:09 |
| kimda | well...i've read somewhere that the mac address on a guest should be higher (or lower) than the host | 07:09 |
| kimda | the host gets resolved | 07:10 |
| LinuxGold | ifconfig, on both host and guest -- make sure they do not match | 07:10 |
| LinuxGold | on the mac address listed | 07:10 |

| kimda | they are different | 07:11 |
| LinuxGold | k, then mac address should not be a problem. | 07:11 |
| kimda | whats weird is that if i do tcpdump -v icmp on the host | 07:11 |
| kutzu | i dont see usb dongle on that page | 07:12 |
| kimda | start a ping say to google.com from the guest that i see replies. When i do belnet.be I see only requests and no replies | 07:13 |
| kutzu | can anyone recommend one that is supported by ubuntu? | 07:13 |

| kimda | resolves to ip | 07:14 |
| LinuxGold | looks like DNS problem for guest | 07:14 |
| LinuxGold | DNS is something that I am not really good with. | 07:15 |
| LinuxGold | check /etc/resolv.conf? | 07:15 |
| LinuxGold | hold | 07:15 |
| kimda | but it resolves to ip so how can this be a dns problem | 07:15 |
| LinuxGold | like I said before, I'm not really good with DNS | 07:15 |
| kimda | if i ping the same ipaddress i still am not getting any replies | 07:16 |

| mercury00 | err_: yeah, the data kind of comes to you the same, genearlly, on your side of things, | 07:36 |
| raven | xubuntu 12.04.3 lts: build of http://sourceforge.net/projects/electricowl/files/latest/download results in that: http://pastebin.com/KFXiqpJn - all headers installed - whats the problem? | 07:37 |
| err_ | why doesn't it matter, iceroot? I heard that http was better for reconnecting, if the connection keeps dropping out. That is a surprise to me, as ftp is specifically designed for file transfer... | 07:37 |
| mercury00 | err_: if you have both options. If you happen to be using a browser that doesn't understand ftp, use http, if you happen to only have an ftp client available, well. | 07:37 |
| iceroot | err_: and you are only doing file-transfer in this case | 07:38 |
| mercury00 | err_: yes, well they are different software on the servers end. however, for most uses today, and on modern systems... it's not usually a big thing... | 07:38 |
| err_ | mercury00, iceroot, it is when setting up the ubuntu "software and updates" application, not when browsing a site with firefox... | 07:39 |
| err_ | it is for when using apt-get update... | 07:39 |
| iceroot | err_: i know | 07:39 |
| iceroot | err_: and you are only doing file-transfer for that usecase | 07:39 |
| mercury00 | err_: I've just always used http; though I run a few hunderd desktops so use my own local repo and only serve from apache, so no other choice | 07:40 |
| err_ | thanks, mercury00, thanks iceroot! | 07:41 |
| mercury00 | err_: I'm not sure what apt uses for connecting via ftp, that is, what system library it calls specifically, though I assume it connects with an anonymous user and no password, and PASV. without being able to dig into the library and see what the implementation difference is, I'd assume the only other difference is the port. | 07:43 |
| mercury00 | err_: ftp ought to default to 21, while http is going to use 80. if either of those ports are blocked, spammed, or otherwise troublesome, if might make a difference | 07:43 |
| err_ | why does ubuntu not ship with aptitude? the default is apt-get. aptitude has advantages... | 07:44 |
| somsip | !aptitude | err_ | 07:44 |
| ubottu | err_: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and 12.04) as aptitude cannot handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. | 07:44 |
| mercury00 | err_: that, I do not know. I always install it just so I can do 'aptitude search ....' | 07:45 |
| err_ | thanks, somsip - i didn't know that... | 07:45 |
| mercury00 | ah, thanks ubottu, that was useful | 07:45 |
| somsip | err_: np | 07:45 |
| sliddjur | Anyone here having trouble using citrix reciever on ubuntu 13, 64bit? | 07:46 |
| sliddjur | My PC hangs atleast once a day | 07:46 |
| mercury00 | so I heard pax can handle very large files; is there any other tar-like utility that can do so? | 07:46 |
| mercury00 | I frequently need to 'tar' several 100gb files into a single file for long term storage. and tar/cpio don't handle them, | 07:46 |
| mercury00 | 'field width not sufficient' and such; curious if anybody on the ubuntu channels might know a good alternative | 07:47 |
| iceroot | if i want to share my internet connection (create my own AP when already connected with cable) the new wifi network i want to create is only offering WEP, is that a bug in network-manager? or does my wifi card has to support WPA for hosting own networks? | 07:49 |

| [Gentoo] | Wiz_KeeD: the gnome one prob has some desktop integration stuff | 09:42 |
| [Gentoo] | you're not gona break anything installing either of them | 09:42 |
| Wiz_KeeD | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XChat-GNOME - looks ugly too | 09:42 |
| DJones | Wiz_KeeD: Simplified as in it doesn't do everything that xchat does, I don't think it has a user list, things like that | 09:42 |
| Wiz_KeeD | And I always do a sudo apt-get update before, right? | 09:42 |
| ObrienDave | pseudonymous... you running Win8? | 09:42 |
| [Gentoo] | Wiz_KeeD: use "xchat" if you really want that client | 09:42 |
| [Gentoo] | Wiz_KeeD: yes | 09:42 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Thank you [Gentoo] and DJones will install that now that i'm sure | 09:42 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ok ran sudo apt-get update, now just sudo apt-get install xchat? | 09:43 |
| [Gentoo] | yes | 09:43 |
| Wiz_KeeD | nothing else? (It's a fresh fresh install, 2 minutes ago) | 09:43 |
| lessless | or is it possible to move launch panel to the right? | 09:43 |
| [Gentoo] | nope | 09:43 |
| ObrienDave | [Gentoo]... which client you using? | 09:43 |
| Wiz_KeeD | okay sir | 09:43 |
| [Gentoo] | ObrienDave: weechat | 09:43 |
| blahblah123 | Hey team, is it possible to remove the words "Unbuntu Desktop" from the top menu bar? | 09:43 |
| blahblah123 | Its only generally viewable when on the desktop | 09:43 |
| pseudonymous | ObrienDave: nope, both machines run Linux :) The one that rebooted fine is Arch Linux, the one that I'm trying to save right now is the Ubuntu box. | 09:44 |
| ObrienDave | yes, but it's a dual boot, yes? Win8? | 09:45 |
| Wiz-KeeD | Okay! | 09:45 |

| ObrienDave | have you checked BIOS (UEFI) settings lately? | 09:46 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Now who can help me with one of the most difficult task ahead? Installing the proper drivers :-s | 09:46 |
| [Gentoo] | Wiz_KeeD: now you can mess around with all the settings :) | 09:46 |
| [Gentoo] | Wiz_KeeD: for what | 09:46 |
| [Gentoo] | graphics? most drivers are in the kernel | 09:46 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Dell Inspiron...some version idk which | 09:46 |
| [Gentoo] | for things like sound etc | 09:46 |
| pseudonymous | ObrienDave: nope, the downed PC is Linux-only, both of them are :) | 09:47 |
| ObrienDave | pseudonymous... have you checked BIOS (UEFI) settings lately? | 09:47 |
| [Gentoo] | Wiz_KeeD: well what doesnt work? | 09:47 |
| Wiz_KeeD | graphics mostly, last time I had ubuntu 12.04 if i upped/downed the brightness fast the monitor would just color up ugly and freeze | 09:47 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I'm afraid to do that now... | 09:47 |
| [Gentoo] | Wiz_KeeD: if its integrated graphics then you're likely using them now | 09:47 |
| ObrienDave | pseudonymous... but it still has bios settings | 09:47 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I don't think so [Gentoo] some ATI which is not integrated | 09:47 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I can try | 09:47 |
| [Gentoo] | Wiz_KeeD: atis default kernel driver is the most stable | 09:48 |
| Wiz_KeeD | HMM...now it works [Gentoo] ! | 09:48 |
| ObrienDave | pseudonymous... how old is it? more than 5 years? | 09:48 |
| pseudonymous | ObrienDave: it does indeed, or rather some graphical UEFI boot manager thing. It still registers the boot partition as my samsung ssd and grub does indeed load all the time, it's only at the handoff point (loading initial ramdisk) that things freeze up | 09:48 |
| Wiz_KeeD | really? ok then I won't touch them | 09:48 |
| [Gentoo] | Wiz_KeeD: nah i wouldnt | 09:48 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I do get an error about wireless card when the system is booting up | 09:48 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Could not locate firmware or something like that | 09:48 |
| [Gentoo] | are you using the wireless now? | 09:49 |
| pseudonymous | Wiz_KeeD: doesn't Ubuntu give you a popup ? THere's usually a notice in the top right through which you can elect to install proprietary drivers, ubuntu would handle the rest for you | 09:49 |
| [Gentoo] | pseudonymous: with ATI cards unless you have a need for more 3d accel, the default drivers are quicker and more stable | 09:50 |
| Hanumaan | how to move scroll through desktops in both the monitors ? | 09:51 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Guess what [Gentoo], it crashed | 09:51 |
| [Gentoo] | what did | 09:51 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I would make MILIONS for the ubuntu as a bug tester I swear to God | 09:51 |
| [Gentoo] | lol | 09:52 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I upped and downed the brightness and volume from the keyboard | 09:52 |
| Wiz_KeeD | and It blacked out while repeating a sound | 09:52 |
| [Gentoo] | no idea about that issue | 09:52 |
| Wiz_KeeD | And I still get the wireless card error on bood | 09:52 |
| Wiz_KeeD | boot | 09:52 |
| Wiz_KeeD | yeah...no one does and ever will, that's just my luck | 09:52 |
| [Gentoo] | you might need some prop driver for it | 09:52 |
| [Gentoo] | i dont know | 09:52 |
| [Gentoo] | but i got to go out do school runs good luck | 09:53 |
| ObrienDave | pseudonymous... here's the UEFI settings link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 09:53 |
| pseudonymous | Gentoo: oh I'm not surprised :) But I never use ATI. I have nvidia and as of late I'm moving to intel seeing as they're picking up speed and the drivers are great (stability-wise) | 09:53 |
| pseudonymous | ObrienDave: thanks :) I'm still trying to reinstall the bootloader, of course it's all on an LVM2 partition to boot.. :/ | 09:54 |
| ObrienDave | oh geez. glwt | 09:54 |
| ObrienDave | brb | 09:56 |
| pseudonymous | ObrienDave: yea :/ I know this is the wrong forum to say this, but there's a reason I run Arch Linux otherwise, I know it's never more complex than what I set up to begin with. Straight partitions, MBR and Syslinux is wee bit easier than GPT,GRUB2,LVM2 :/ | 09:56 |
| hillwellwang | what is it? | 09:57 |
| === sandyd is now known as Guest63367 | ||
| pseudonymous | Wiz_KeeD: about the brightness adjustment, it will, on a LOT of PC's just allow you to adjust all the way to 0% brightness (=> black screen), just try bumping it back up. At least this has happened on a number of my laptops | 09:58 |
| ObrienDave | b | 09:59 |

| Wiz_KeeD | Installing skype for ubuntu is best of from repository or from skype main site? | 10:05 |

| Wiz_KeeD | Record on skype? ah | 10:07 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I'll read that DJones, thank you!! | 10:07 |
| cfhowlett | DJones, apt-cache policy skype shows it's in the partner packages on 12.04 | 10:08 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Is this really ok guys? sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 | 10:08 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Some people say: "you don't want to install a packages that was not compiled for your platform. Either get a 64bit version or compile it yourself. " | 10:08 |
| Wiz_KeeD | What do you think DJones ? | 10:08 |
| Wiz_KeeD | There's a part of my answer "It is highly recommended to use the package provided in the Canonical partner repository, not the one distributed from the skype website, as the skype website currently points users to the wrong package for 64-bit systems of Ubuntu 11.10 and above. | 10:10 |

| siberiannerd | ikonia, what should i do? | 10:48 |
| ikonia | fix the problem | 10:48 |
| ikonia | and not cross-post the same question in mulitple ubuntu channels | 10:48 |
| siberiannerd | ikonia, i tried twice with alternate and server, just asked for server | 10:48 |
| === Mayzie is now known as Mayzie` | ||
| ikonia | siberiannerd: trying twice is not fixing the problem | 10:49 |
| cfhowlett | siberiannerd, did you actually install grub? where? how do we reproduce the problem? especially since most people haven't had your experience; | 10:49 |
| ikonia | it's not even understanding the problem | 10:49 |
| ikonia | siberiannerd: the first qestion I'd ask, is did you use a DVD, or a USB, | 10:49 |
| siberiannerd | ikonia, hdd | 10:51 |
| siberiannerd | cfhowlett, i can describe the steps to reproduce if you want me to | 10:51 |
| siberiannerd | if i should to deal with it properly | 10:51 |
| ikonia | siberiannerd: hdd ? | 10:52 |
| ikonia | you used a hard disk to install from ? | 10:52 |
| siberiannerd | ikonia, hard disk drive | 10:52 |
| siberiannerd | yeah, why not? | 10:52 |
| ikonia | siberiannerd: how did you install from hard disk ? | 10:52 |
| siberiannerd | as it described by official manpages for debian installer and anywhere | 10:53 |
| siberiannerd | without 3rd party tools to put an image to drive | 10:53 |
| ikonia | if you can't be bothered answering questions - we can't help | 10:53 |
| siberiannerd | ok, ikonia, dd if=iso of=hdd | 10:53 |
| siberiannerd | and here we go | 10:53 |
| ikonia | siberiannerd: that don't install it | 10:53 |
| ikonia | siberiannerd: so please don't try to be clever when YOU are the one asking for help | 10:53 |
| siberiannerd | ikonia, well you're terribly wrong | 10:54 |
| ikonia | oh, really, dd'ing an install image to a harddisk = an install ? | 10:54 |
| siberiannerd | you never read about debian installation procedure from hdd? | 10:54 |
| cfhowlett | siberiannerd, umm, no that is NOT an installation procedure for ubuntu. | 10:54 |
| siberiannerd | sorry to hear that | 10:54 |
| ikonia | siberiannerd: I'm asking what YOU did | 10:54 |
| siberiannerd | i jsut said what i did | 10:54 |
| siberiannerd | i'm not lying | 10:54 |
| ikonia | siberiannerd: that is not an install | 10:54 |
| ikonia | siberiannerd: that is just putting an install iso onto a hard disk | 10:54 |
| siberiannerd | i've put the installation media iso like that | 10:55 |
| siberiannerd | after what i specified nodmraid nomodset expertinstall | 10:55 |
| cfhowlett | siberiannerd, suggest you try this: make a boot ISO on usb. Boot from that ISO and choose install. | 10:55 |
| siberiannerd | ikonia, should i continue describing the steps over stages? | 10:56 |
| ObrienDave | siberiannerd... an ISO has to be burned to a DVD or CD or installed onto a USB stick | 10:56 |
| siberiannerd | no it shouldn't | 10:56 |
| ikonia | siberiannerd: just lost total interest thanks to you trying to be smart with your answers, see if someone else wants to help you | 10:56 |
| siberiannerd | works flawless | 10:56 |
| ObrienDave | ok, if you say so | 10:56 |
| siberiannerd | ikonia, i didn't try to you was just pointing that i was doing something wrong | 10:56 |
| siberiannerd | come on guys i'm not trying to act clever or anything like that | 10:57 |
| siberiannerd | i came with a problem i can't troubleshoot properly | 10:57 |
| ikonia | it doesn't come across like that | 10:57 |
| ikonia | as dd'ing the install image to the hard disk is NOT an install | 10:57 |
| ikonia | it's dd'ing the install image to a hard disk - nothing more | 10:57 |
| cfhowlett | siberiannerd, listen up. copying to the HDD is NOT installing. what you did is NOT an installation. | 10:57 |
| siberiannerd | well let me read some manpages or howtos so i could behave more polite or being more informative | 10:57 |
| siberiannerd | oh ok | 10:58 |
| bazhang | !attitude | siberiannerd | 10:58 |
| ubottu | siberiannerd: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 10:58 |
| siberiannerd | uhm i know that | 10:58 |
| cfhowlett | siberiannerd, try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation | 10:58 |
| siberiannerd | so i launched the setup from alternate image that was written to hdd via dd, completed the procedure of installation on the second hdd having /boot and mbr on the 3rd one | 10:59 |

| siberiannerd | but without any floppies | 11:01 |
| cfhowlett | siberiannerd, you did note that this method is for UNSUPPORTED version of ubuntu? That means ... unsupported here as well. | 11:01 |
| siberiannerd | somewhat no | 11:02 |
| ObrienDave | siberiannerd... and it is also written for an 8 year old system? | 11:03 |
| cfhowlett | siberiannerd, yeah that big pink banner across the top of the page. | 11:03 |
| siberiannerd | ObrienDave, it has even 8 years old bugs in it so i thought it would be fine | 11:03 |
| geirha | kuribas: Set environment variables in .profile. They do not belong in .bashrc | 11:03 |
| ObrienDave | omg *face palm* | 11:04 |
| kuribas | geirha: Ok, I'll try that. | 11:04 |
| cfhowlett | siberiannerd, you're installing 12.04 using an outdated, end of life methodology? OOOOOOkay then. | 11:04 |
| geirha | kuribas: You may also set them in .pam_environment, which is read by the pam_env module when you log in, though note that .pam_environment is not a shell script, so shell syntax won't work in there. | 11:04 |
| siberiannerd | ObrienDave, so there is not proper way to use hdd as installation media for ubuntu, is that correct? | 11:04 |
| ObrienDave | siberiannerd... have fun with that. *lurking* | 11:04 |
| siberiannerd | no, seriously | 11:04 |
| cfhowlett | siberiannerd, back up. Can your box boot from USB? | 11:05 |
| siberiannerd | nope | 11:05 |

| siberiannerd | should i get deeper into details? | 11:06 |
| cfhowlett | siberiannerd, nope. | 11:06 |
| siberiannerd | r* | 11:06 |
| ObrienDave | siberiannerd... is there a DVD burner? | 11:06 |
| cfhowlett | siberiannerd, I would suggest you consider using lubuntu or xubuntu though. Both are optimized for older and lower spec machines. | 11:06 |
| siberiannerd | no, cd-rom is not integrated in motherboard unfortunately | 11:07 |
| cfhowlett | siberiannerd, from that page I sent you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManager | 11:07 |
| siberiannerd | cfhowlett, can i read about supported method of installing xubuntu from hdd media? | 11:07 |
| cfhowlett | siberiannerd, same method as in the tutorial, just different OS. | 11:07 |
| cfhowlett | siberiannerd, actually see the section: Installation without a CD" | 11:08 |
| siberiannerd | cfhowlett, yeah but the only option in there is unsupported | 11:09 |
| cfhowlett | siberiannerd, it's also possible you could do a network installation. See server and network installations in that tutorial | 11:09 |
| siberiannerd | as you pointed me to that pink banner | 11:09 |
| siberiannerd | pxe is buggy in there | 11:10 |
| cfhowlett | siberiannerd, dern. I was literally tying PXE for your next optoin. | 11:10 |

| Wiz_KeeD | 12.04 ObrienDave | 11:14 |
| ObrienDave | ok use the link | 11:15 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ikonia, because from what I know installing 32-bit applications on 64 is not that good...also if i'm going to install the 32 bit one, why not use the one from skype.com? | 11:15 |
| ObrienDave | Wiz_KeeD... this will get you the latest 32bit file. http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-beta-ubuntu-64 | 11:15 |
| siberiannerd | but uhm i don't have any bootable options but hdd unfortunately | 11:15 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ObrienDave, that's what the link suggests | 11:15 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: it is the one from skype.com | 11:15 |
| Wiz_KeeD | sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 | 11:15 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: where is the native 64bit skype client ? | 11:15 |
| Lemino | I'll come back at another time! | 11:15 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I have no idea ikonia | 11:15 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: right, it doesn't exist | 11:15 |
| ObrienDave | ikonia... miscommunication on the 64bit Skype | 11:16 |
| ikonia | ObrienDave: do share | 11:16 |
| ObrienDave | there isn't one, like you said ;)) | 11:16 |
| Wiz_KeeD | So it would be safe to add the 32 bit architecture then? | 11:17 |
| ikonia | ObrienDave: so how is that miscommunication ? | 11:17 |
| Wiz_KeeD | You guys did that? | 11:17 |
| siberiannerd | ok, ubuntu can't be installed from hdd i got it | 11:17 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: I don't like adding the 32bit arch to the repos, no | 11:17 |
| ObrienDave | oh lordy, nevermind | 11:17 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: however, that is the current documented process | 11:17 |
| Wiz_KeeD | hmmm | 11:18 |
| Wiz_KeeD | how the hell can I get skype on my computer without adding the 32bit arch to the repos and still be able to upgrade it and all that... | 11:19 |
| siberiannerd | should i write a feature request so the installation from hdd media could get some attention and support? | 11:19 |
| ikonia | siberiannerd: nah | 11:19 |
| siberiannerd | ikonia, why not? | 11:19 |
| ObrienDave | Wiz_KeeD... install ia32libs then Skype | 11:19 |
| jrib | Wiz_KeeD: why don't you want to add 32bit multiarch capability? | 11:19 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: i shouldn't stop you upgrading | 11:19 |
| Wiz_KeeD | jrib, because when searching for other software I wouldn't want to install 32bit designed packages that might not be optimized for 64 | 11:20 |
| jrib | Wiz_KeeD: that wouldn't happen unless you ask for it explicitly | 11:20 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ObrienDave, then all 32bit applications will be available for download, something I wouldn't neccesairly want | 11:20 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: it doesn't work like that | 11:20 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I'm sorry, I'm new to this, it may very well be possible, I just read about it | 11:21 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Ready to be educated though :D | 11:21 |
| ObrienDave | Wiz_KeeD... no, that just adds 32bit support to 12.04 | 11:21 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ikonia still doesn't do it for a reason :) | 11:22 |
| BluesKaj | 'Morning all | 11:23 |
| ObrienDave | Wiz_KeeD... ia32libs just adds 32bit support to 12.04. necessary for some programs like most 3rd party SecondLife clients | 11:24 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ObrienDave, someone on the ubuntu forum says for example "you don't want to install a packages that was not compiled for your platform. Either get a 64bit version or compile it yourself. " | 11:27 |
| jrib | Wiz_KeeD: i've only seen skype provide 32bit packages. Their 64bit package just depends on the 32bit real version. Though I haven't check in the last few months | 11:27 |
| iceroot | Wiz_KeeD: use the 32bit version, there is no single need for skype in 64bit | 11:28 |
| iceroot | Wiz_KeeD: skype just needs to install some multiarch libs | 11:28 |
| ObrienDave | Wiz_KeeD... thats a PITA, just add ia32libs then install Skype. no biggie. it works | 11:28 |
| jrib | that shouldn't even be needed, just install skype after enabling multiarch | 11:29 |
| Wiz_KeeD | If more people with professional opinions suggest the same thing I think it's time to do it | 11:29 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ok sir! | 11:30 |
| iceroot | Wiz_KeeD: and to correct the part with "you dont want to install.." the real thing is "you dont want to install NSA/MS stuff on your free software product and you dont want to use such evil stuff anymore" that would be the correct part and not the architecutre thing :) | 11:30 |
| Wiz_KeeD | didn't get that fully tbh :-s | 11:31 |
| ObrienDave | iceroot... LOL | 11:31 |
| Wiz_KeeD | dpkg: error: unknown option --add-architecture | 11:31 |
| ObrienDave | Wiz_KeeD... open a terminal. sudo apt-get install ia32libs | 11:31 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Okay ObrienDave | 11:32 |
| === luke is now known as Guest56605 | ||
| Wiz_KeeD | And a real important question I have not been answered yet.If I somehow mess up by installing some wierd packages or from wrong repositories or smth like that and end up with conflicts and all that | 11:35 |
| Wiz_KeeD | What is a good backup system that can take a snapshot and you just revert to ti? | 11:35 |
| === dude is now known as Guest87684 | ||
| Wiz_KeeD | Lik the windows recovery thing | 11:35 |
| ObrienDave | now THAT is a good question | 11:35 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: you shouldn't be using those "weird" packages as you where told yesterday | 11:36 |
| ObrienDave | ikonia... lol | 11:36 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Or any other mistake that might break my system | 11:36 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Could be multilple causes | 11:36 |
| Guest87684 | is there a "Computer" menu in 1304? | 11:36 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I compile wrongly, I install the wrong library and all that | 11:36 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD:if you don't use bad repos - you won't break your system | 11:36 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I cannot be expected to work flawlessly | 11:36 |
| iceroot | Wiz_KeeD: snapshot of the complete system? | 11:36 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: you don't need to compile software that can cause a conflict with system libraries | 11:36 |
| Wiz_KeeD | iceroot, yes | 11:37 |
| ObrienDave | Wiz_KeeD... that's why we are trying to help you. sheesh | 11:37 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ikonia, I had MANY MANY conflicts and crashes using JUST the standard repository | 11:37 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: no you didn't | 11:37 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: the standard repos do not conflict | 11:37 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ObrienDave, in the idea that I might mess up and need to revert | 11:37 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: the sooner you stop avoiding the advice of keep to the supported ubuntu repos, and don't try to compile software that conflicts with ubuntu software versions - you'll have no fatal problems | 11:38 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: other types of problems are normally straight forward to fix | 11:38 |
| Wiz_KeeD | That means I have to know when I install something else if it conflicts or not with ubuntu | 11:38 |
| ObrienDave | Wiz_KeeD... i do understand your concerns. there are enough good people here that if someone gives you the wrong info, they will be pummeled with a very large trout LMAO | 11:38 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: no, as if it's in the repo - it doesn't conflict. | 11:39 |
| Wiz_KeeD | hahahha, lol ObrienDave | 11:40 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ikonia, I understand | 11:40 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I'll drop the backup idea then | 11:40 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: nothing wrong with backups | 11:40 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: but a full system backup for every change, you'll just waste time/disk space | 11:41 |
| ObrienDave | Wiz_KeeD... backups are your friend, for sure | 11:41 |
| Wiz_KeeD | File backups are not important to me, I just code in python and save the code with dvcs like git or bzr | 11:41 |
| Wiz_KeeD | the rest is irrelevant | 11:41 |
| Guest87684 | anyone can help me navigate to the "Computer" menu? | 11:42 |
| Daisyab__ | i have 2 ubuntu accounts and i cant access one of them ever since i typed in a wrong path for installing xampp. Can anyone help me recover my other account | 11:42 |
| ikonia | Daisyab__: xammp has nothing to do with your login | 11:42 |
| ObrienDave | Guest87684... what "computer" menu? on the desktop? | 11:42 |
| universal | how to find out if the currrent wireless driver on my system is the lastest one and if not then where to find latest or latest stable one ? hardware is - hp pavilion g6 series laptop with broadcom BCM4313 mini wifi card. current wireless driver is "wl" the default one available in ubuntu 13.04 installed from soft. sources > additional drivers tab. wireless driver package is "bcmwl-kernel-source" Veriosn - 6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu6 | 11:43 |
| ikonia | universal: use the one ubuntu provides | 11:43 |
| Daisyab__ | ikonia: i know that but after i typed in the wrong path for installing xampp that account doesn't open anymore | 11:43 |
| ikonia | Daisyab__: please define "doesn't open" | 11:43 |
| Daisyab__ | i'm thinking that the wrong path was used and it had no where to go | 11:43 |
| universal | ikonia: ok...but the current driver 'wl' has some bugs | 11:43 |
| universal | ikonia: its freezes system now or then | 11:44 |
| Daisyab__ | ikonia: after logging in with a password, my machine goes blank for a sec, then comes right back to the log in page | 11:44 |
| ikonia | Daisyab__: login as the other user then "su - $other_username" | 11:45 |
| ikonia | Daisyab__: see if that allows you to switch user withoout any errors/warnings | 11:45 |
| ObrienDave | Wiz_KeeD... did you d/l ia32libs yet? | 11:46 |
| Wiz_KeeD | It does not install ObrienDave because I started a backup with backintime program | 11:46 |
| Wiz_KeeD | now i'm trying to stop and remove it | 11:46 |
| Daisyab__ | it does but i cant acces any of the files | 11:46 |
| Wiz_KeeD | But it moves very sluggish, adn even though I closed it in ps -aux | grep backintime | 11:46 |
| universal | !update | 11:46 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 11:46 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I see a lot if instances running | 11:46 |
| ObrienDave | NO!!! dont stop the backup! | 11:46 |
| ikonia | Daisyab__: sounds like the permissions are wrong | 11:46 |
| Wiz_KeeD | and that download of lib is still in 0% in building depdenency tree | 11:47 |
| Wiz_KeeD | now what? :)) | 11:47 |
| ikonia | Daisyab__: can you do "pwd" when you su - $username | 11:47 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Ubuntu is complex as hell man | 11:47 |
| gerep | Hi all. What's the Linux Mint channel? I'm worried about my notebook temperature. It's 79ºC (4 cores) and the fan is spinning loud and fast =/ | 11:47 |
| ikonia | !mint | gerep | 11:47 |
| ubottu | gerep: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 11:47 |
| gerep | ikonia: that's why I asked what's the channel :) you know it? | 11:47 |
| Wiz_KeeD | now i'm stuck, only idea that comes to mind is to restart | 11:48 |
| Daisyab__ | ikonia: it gives me /root | 11:48 |
| gerep | ikonia: thanks ;) | 11:48 |
| ikonia | gerep: READ the ubottu gave you | 11:48 |
| ikonia | Daisyab__: what command did you do "su...." exactly. | 11:48 |
| gerep | #linuxmint-help | 11:48 |
| ikonia | gerep: read it PROPERLY | 11:48 |
| ikonia | gerep: it's not on freenode | 11:48 |
| Daisyab__ | su -$denis | 11:48 |
| gerep | ikonia: sorry, I'm really stupid today hahaha | 11:48 |
| ikonia | it's not funny | 11:48 |
| Wiz_KeeD | any idea ObrienDave ? | 11:48 |
| gerep | ikonia: thanks a lot, that will help ;) | 11:48 |
| ObrienDave | Wiz_KeeD... it's not that difficult. just takes some getting used to is all | 11:48 |
| Daisyab__ | denis is the name of otheruse | 11:48 |
| Daisyab__ | *otheruser | 11:48 |
| universal | !kernel | 11:49 |
| ubottu | 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) | 11:49 |
| ikonia | Daisyab__: what's the exact command you typed please. | 11:49 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I think it's extremly difficult for these special cases, any retard can learn to apt-get install update and remove and kiill a few procceses in minutes | 11:49 |
| Wiz_KeeD | But for this complex tasks almost nobody has the answer | 11:49 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: please don't call people retards | 11:49 |
| Daisyab__ | ikonia: it was su -$denis | 11:49 |
| ikonia | Daisyab__: ok, please do "exit" so you are back to your normal user, than do "su - denis" | 11:49 |
| Wiz_KeeD | i'm not calling anyone retard, I was speaking generally to make the idea of "easy" more vivid :) | 11:50 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: so don't do it please. | 11:50 |
| Wiz_KeeD | How can I close all instances of backintime thing now...and uninstall it | 11:50 |
| Daisyab__ | ikonia: where denis takes the place of 'otheruser' | 11:50 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Or should I restart first... | 11:50 |
| universal | ikonia: what about updating kernel to a newer version which contains latest wl drivers | 11:50 |
| ikonia | Daisyab__: is denis the name of the broken user | 11:50 |
| ObrienDave | don't need to uninstall BackInTime | 11:50 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Laptop moves right now like it has 200mb of ram | 11:51 |
| ikonia | universal: use the kernel ubuntu provides | 11:51 |
| universal | ikonia: yea...how to do it ? | 11:51 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ObrienDave, need to stop it since it's killing my box and I see it in ps -aux | grep backintime | 11:51 |
| Wiz_KeeD | even though I've closed everything | 11:51 |
| Wiz_KeeD | And it's not running... | 11:51 |
| ikonia | universal: you already are using the kernel ubuntu provides | 11:51 |
| ikonia | universal: so stick with it | 11:51 |
| Wiz_KeeD | And what's the point in keeping it there if i'm not going to use it ObrienDave ? :) | 11:52 |
| Guest87684 | ObrienDave, the menu that shows hard drives, and stuff well i guess the windows equivalent is "computer" | 11:52 |
| Wiz_KeeD | anyway, I will restart now | 11:52 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Since I don't know anything beter to do | 11:52 |
| ObrienDave | Wiz_KeeD... go ahead and power off the machine | 11:52 |
| universal | ikonia: no i mean the updated kernel....my system is 13.04 and now 13.10 is expected to be rolled out next month so there should a newer kernel | 11:53 |
| ikonia | universal: so you upgrade when 13.10 is available | 11:53 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I can't, it moves too slow | 11:53 |
| Daisyab__ | ikonia: just did that and entered password then i get an error message -su export: '=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/home/denis/lampp': not a valid identifier. denis is the name of the broken account | 11:53 |
| Wiz_KeeD | :)) | 11:53 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Great os | 11:53 |
| universal | ikonia: no fixes for now ? :( | 11:53 |
| ikonia | Daisyab__: ok, sounds like th profile is messed up a bit | 11:54 |
| ObrienDave | Guest87684... Ubuntu does not use that type of a menu | 11:54 |
| ikonia | Daisyab__: can you type "id" please. | 11:54 |
| ikonia | Daisyab__: (as the user denis) | 11:54 |

| ObrienDave | Guest87684... you need to start with the folder called "file system" | 11:54 |
| Guest87684 | obriendave, in 12.04 i think there use to be that menu by moving ur mouse up to places then computer | 11:55 |
| Daisyab__ | what do you mean as the user denis | 11:55 |
| === hherholz is now known as HeikoH | ||
| Guest87684 | obriendave, it shows all the listed drives and stuff | 11:55 |
| ObrienDave | Guest87684... then MOUNTED drives would be listed under the /mnt folder | 11:55 |
| ikonia | Daisyab__: su - denis, then id | 11:55 |
| ObrienDave | Guest87684... that's been removed in 13.04 i think | 11:56 |
| Guest87684 | obriendave, yeah that was my question, can we get that back? | 11:56 |
| ObrienDave | Guest87684... not sure, I run Xubuntu | 11:56 |
| Guest87684 | obriendave, alright thx for the help | 11:57 |

| ikonia | Daisyab__: just need to fix your profile and hopefully check your permissions | 12:01 |

| marco__ | hallo | 12:10 |
| ObrienDave | RobinJ... i don't think it will actually disable your SSD, no | 12:11 |
| RobinJ | it says i need to disable intel srt | 12:11 |
| RobinJ | which is teh technology used for a caching ssd | 12:12 |
| ObrienDave | RobinJ... that's just the cache, not the drive. | 12:13 |
| RobinJ | .... | 12:13 |
| RobinJ | it's a caching ssd. it does nothing but acting as a cache. | 12:13 |
| siberiannerd | what do i do if insmod normal fails with "not found" ? | 12:14 |
| ObrienDave | RobinJ... SRT is an intermediary between the system and the drive, sort of like a RAM buffer. | 12:15 |

| Ipzael | hi | 12:20 |
| siberiannerd | do this i'm open for critics due to the fact i'm really that noob | 12:20 |
| cfhowlett | Ipzael, greetings | 12:20 |
| Daisyab__ | ikonia:, Gentoo: you guys are life savers. Thank you so much | 12:22 |
| yicak | i'm a noob to ubuntu | 12:22 |
| ObrienDave | YAY! another happy customer LOL | 12:22 |
| ikonia | Daisyab__: glad you are working | 12:22 |
| monkeyjuice | yicak: what are you trying to do | 12:22 |
| yicak | somebody say LOL | 12:23 |
| ObrienDave | LOL | 12:23 |
| yicak | what's LOL | 12:23 |
| ObrienDave | Laugh Out Loud | 12:23 |
| OddPizza_ | my ssh client works on my mobile data network, but not on my internet. what is potentially wrong? I'm getting "connection refused" | 12:23 |
| yicak | ObrienDave, LOL is a online game | 12:25 |
| dwatkins | OddPizza_: possibly simply that your mobile provider blocks ssh | 12:25 |
| bucketm0use | Does anyone know if it's possible to dual-boot + secure boot with UEFI Windows 8 / Ubuntu (12.04) | 12:25 |
| OddPizza_ | dwatkins: it works on my mobile data. not on my network however. ie my school internet | 12:26 |
| dwatkins | OddPizza_: your school blocks ssh, which is unsurprising | 12:26 |
| OddPizza_ | oh | 12:26 |
| ObrienDave | yicak... not in an IRC chat room it isn't | 12:26 |
| OddPizza_ | probably I guess. dwatkins :/ mmk. thanks | 12:27 |
| daftykins | ObrienDave: yeah, yeah it is. things can have multiple meanings here too! :) | 12:27 |
| [Gentoo] | OddPizza_: could try enabling ssh on another port | 12:27 |
| ObrienDave | OMG, shows how old i'm getting to be LMAO | 12:27 |
| bucketm0use | OddPizza_, you may be able to talk to a Dean if you need SSH access. Get a higher-up to sign off on a request like that and submit it to a network administrator. | 12:27 |
| dwatkins | [Gentoo]: that may still violate the terms of use of the network | 12:28 |

| siberiannerd | there is no way to fix the bootloader if it is clear from-under grub rescue that there is no normal.mod under /boot/grub on boot device right? | 12:50 |
| WACOMalt | Hi folks. I have a bit of an onusual question. As happens often on IT fields, you have to deal with windows. I am needing to download a windows ISO from my technet subscription, but I have to do so from Ubuntu, and from terminal only | 13:01 |
| WACOMalt | I have tried combos of curl, wget, and axel | 13:02 |
| cfhowlett | WACOMalt, meaning IE only, right? | 13:02 |
| WACOMalt | nothing can resolve the URL. | 13:02 |
| WACOMalt | No | 13:02 |
| WACOMalt | I could download form firefox or chrome in ubuntu fine | 13:02 |
| WACOMalt | but they use a serverside dll to redirect the download. | 13:02 |
| WACOMalt | and I have to log in with my account. | 13:02 |
| === Mike is now known as Guest42471 | ||
| daftykins | WACOMalt: how is it that you don't have another computer to hand? | 13:03 |
| WACOMalt | the firect download link is something like http://technet.microsoft.com/subscriptions/json/GetDownloadRequest?brand=TechNet&locale=en-US&fileId=46948&activexDisabled=true&akamaiDL=false | 13:03 |
| WACOMalt | well, realistically I could download this here, then upload to the server | 13:03 |
| Wiz_KeeD | well now | 13:03 |
| WACOMalt | but I'm wanting to learn how if possible, to do this via the server directly | 13:03 |
| Pici | WACOMalt: have you tried using w3m to browse the site instead of trying to figure out what the url is? | 13:03 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I had to reinstall my ubuntu becuase of that backup program that Froze my computer | 13:03 |
| Wiz_KeeD | great! | 13:03 |
| WACOMalt | so I dont have to transfer it twice | 13:03 |
| Wiz_KeeD | It just gets better and better | 13:03 |
| WACOMalt | w3m, I hadnt. I'll try that | 13:04 |
| WACOMalt | but arent scripts generally unsupported in that | 13:04 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: you don't re-install if a program hangs | 13:04 |
| WACOMalt | neither curl or wget support redirects in this way? | 13:04 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ikonia, every time i booted it froze everything, to do sudo reboot it took about 4 minutes | 13:05 |
| Pici | WACOMalt: there are likely other things going on here, like checking for cookies. | 13:05 |
| WACOMalt | w3m reports "javascript required to login" | 13:05 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: so ? you just remove it / disable it | 13:05 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I can't | 13:05 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: why ? | 13:05 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I wanted to do apt-get remove backintime --purge | 13:05 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: ....and | 13:05 |
| Wiz_KeeD | didn't get the chance everything froze up before I could do it | 13:05 |
| WACOMalt | the thing is. I was able to get the download manager "flashget" on a windows machine to download this file locally | 13:05 |
| WACOMalt | with no cookies | 13:05 |
| WACOMalt | just passed the url and the login info | 13:06 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: so you ask for help - it's easy to fix that, rather than re-installing and wise cracking "great" because you did something people kept advising you not to do | 13:06 |
| WACOMalt | so it SHOULD be possible as long as the redirect gets supported | 13:06 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I could not ask for help I could barely type in the terminal not to mention running xchat :))) | 13:06 |
| Pici | WACOMalt: I don't know then, sorry. | 13:06 |
| Pici | 5/70 | 13:06 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: then following adivice and not doing the opposite of what advised seems a better way forwad | 13:07 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Now for example, I wanted to install broadcom wireless driver from producer (on the top right bar) and it gave an error, now i want to close that application but no matter if i do alt tab or click on it nothing happens | 13:07 |
| Wiz_KeeD | not even quitting it from the launcher on the left | 13:07 |
| Wiz_KeeD | right | 13:07 |
| WACOMalt | Dang. I'm suprised that flashget can download from this URL and nothing on ubuntu can. Considering flashget is likely built on most of the open source libraries that linux uses like curl and wget | 13:08 |
| Wiz_KeeD | sorry i logged off an in | 13:09 |
| Wiz_KeeD | how do i get the link for isntalling skype from the bot here? | 13:10 |
| iceroot | !skype | Wiz_KeeD | 13:10 |
| ubottu | Wiz_KeeD: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga | 13:10 |
| WACOMalt | !skype | 13:10 |
| Wiz_KeeD | thank you | 13:10 |
| WACOMalt | hmm guess not. didnt work for me | 13:10 |
| Pici | WACOMalt: thats because the bot just said it a second ago. | 13:10 |
| WACOMalt | ah | 13:10 |
| iceroot | WACOMalt: the bot is only answering once in a minute for the same search term to not flood the channel, everything was correct | 13:11 |
| WACOMalt | makes sense | 13:11 |
| bucketm0use | WACOMalt, did you try wget -L ? | 13:11 |
| WACOMalt | bucketm0use, yup | 13:11 |
| bucketm0use | bummer | 13:11 |
| Wiz_KeeD | and I had to install someting before sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 for it to work | 13:11 |
| WACOMalt | tell me about it. my upload speed here is painful. so now instead of a 15 minute download. it will be a 1 hour download, and a 8 hour upload. :| | 13:12 |
| siberiannerd | there is no way to fix the bootloader if it is clear from-under grub rescue that there is no normal.mod under /boot/grub on boot device right? | 13:12 |

| bucketm0use | Tuesday, gcalctool from term? | 13:15 |
| siberiannerd | bucketm0use, there is some bcache http://bcache.evilpiepirate.org/ | 13:15 |
| cfhowlett | bucketm0use, type gcalctool | 13:15 |
| Tuesday | that didn't work | 13:16 |
| bucketm0use | notice you were missing a 'c' | 13:16 |
| pgimeno | I'm having a problem, Apache filled the hard disk log apparently because of a corrupted gnutls cache, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=576676 - is it safe to remove /var/cache/apache2/gnutls_cache ? | 13:16 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 576676 in libapache2-mod-gnutls "libapache2-mod-gnutls: trashes system log if cache is corrupted" [Important,Open] | 13:16 |
| cfhowlett | Tuesday, is it installed? | 13:16 |
| Wiz_KeeD | sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 does not work it says it is not found | 13:16 |
| bucketm0use | ty cfhowlett I'll look into this | 13:16 |

| Chathurga | I'm having a problem with manually installing X on a stripped down ubuntu | 13:18 |
| Chathurga | none of the window or file managers are starting automatically | 13:18 |
| cfhowlett | Chathurga, how did you strip down? | 13:18 |
| Chathurga | so when I do startx gnome starts but metacity/gnome-panel doesnt, any ideas? | 13:18 |
| Benkinooby | Chathurga: why do you want it to start automatically? | 13:18 |
| Chathurga | http://www.ubuntu-mini-remix.org/ | 13:18 |
| cfhowlett | Chathurga, so an unofficial derivative? Why not install Ubuntu mini and build up the OS you want. | 13:19 |
| cfhowlett | !mini|Chathurga, | 13:19 |
| ubottu | Chathurga,: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 13:19 |
| Benkinooby | Chathurga: do what cfhowlett said - this is what i do too | 13:19 |
| Benkinooby | Chathurga: the main advantag is, that you use "officical" ubuntu and have better support here | 13:20 |
| Chathurga | The only problem is this is for like an educational class where we boot into the terminal at first and have them startx | 13:20 |
| Chathurga | it'll be mass printed onto usbs | 13:20 |
| cfhowlett | Chathurga, so? mini can do that ... | 13:20 |
| Chathurga | Okay I'll have a look at that | 13:21 |
| zykotick9 | Chathurga: was is in your .xinitrc file? | 13:21 |
| Chathurga | I've tried pretty much every combo, one sec | 13:21 |
| Wiz_KeeD | sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 return dpkg: error: unknown option --add-architecture | 13:22 |
| BooeyOH | how do you use the package selector that is available at install after you install (on 12.04 if that makes a difference) | 13:22 |
| cfhowlett | BooeyOH, you mean the software center? | 13:23 |
| zykotick9 | BooeyOH: "tasksel" perhaps? | 13:23 |
| BooeyOH | not sure, this is the server edition | 13:23 |
| cfhowlett | !ubuntu-server|BooeyOH | 13:23 |
| ubottu | BooeyOH: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI.

| Benkinooby | Chathurga: if you build from minimal - first thing you need to get is gdm or an other desktop/login manager - it is very important for permission and it took me some time to find that out ;) | 13:26 |
| bucketm0use | Wiz_KeeD, what are you trying to do | 13:26 |
| Pici | !fishing | Wiz_KeeD | 13:26 |

| Chathurga | Mine boots into gnome but I must start metacity manually, it's driven me tot the limit at this stage | 13:27 |
| Wiz_KeeD | bucketm0use, install skype properly on ubuntu 12.04 64 | 13:27 |
| Benkinooby | Chathurga: well, i am sure there is a file for gnome, where you enter the stuff you want to autostart | 13:27 |
| Benkinooby | Chathurga: what exactly are your requirements? what do you want to do (big picture)? | 13:28 |
| bucketm0use | Wiz_KeeD, sudo apt-get install skype ? | 13:28 |
| Wiz_KeeD | wish it was that simple | 13:28 |
| Wiz_KeeD | it's not included | 13:28 |
| Wiz_KeeD | not for 64 | 13:28 |
| Chathurga | Everything else is sorted, it's actually just getting gnome-panel, metacity and nautalis to start with startx but for some reason their not | 13:29 |
| CatKiller | www.skype.com/download? | 13:29 |
| Chathurga | I'm not sure how that's controlled in a working setup | 13:29 |
| Subzero | download .deb package and run sudo -dpkg -i nameofpackage | 13:29 |
| Wiz_KeeD | !skype | 13:29 |

| Wiz_KeeD | that link says no | 13:29 |
| CatKiller | says no? | 13:29 |
| Wiz_KeeD | It is highly recommended to use the package provided in the Canonical partner repository, not the one distributed from the skype website, as the skype website currently points users to the wrong package for 64-bit systems of Ubuntu 11.10 and above. | 13:29 |
| bucketm0use | Wiz_KeeD, http://rumytaulu.wordpress.com/2012/10/26/cant-install-ia32-libs-and-ia32-libs-multiarch-how-to-fix-it/ | 13:29 |
| Pici | Wiz_KeeD: so, what happens when you try to install it? | 13:29 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I never TRY to do anything since last time It crashed using experiements, and everyone is bitching constantly to NEVER stray away from the standard repository | 13:30 |
| Wiz_KeeD | my options are limited | 13:30 |
| Benkinooby | Chathurga: what do you use for login? | 13:30 |
| bucketm0use | Wiz_KeeD, follow that link. Afterwards do 'sudo apt-get install skype' | 13:30 |
| Wiz_KeeD | But this is by far not an exact science, everyone has a method | 13:30 |
| Pici | Wiz_KeeD: What happens when you do 'sudo apt-get install skype' | 13:30 |
| Chathurga | auto logs in as some "ubuntu" username | 13:31 |
| Benkinooby | Chathurga: maybe use lightdm or gdm for graphical login? | 13:31 |
| Wiz_KeeD | bucketm0use, sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 when i do that it does not recognise the command | 13:31 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Pici, it's not in the repositories | 13:31 |
| Benkinooby | Chathurga: that is not the aswer to my question: what do you use for login? | 13:31 |
| Wiz_KeeD | i did apt-cache search skype and there's no such thing for 64 bit | 13:31 |
| cfhowlett | Wiz_KeeD, never say never. The only way I could get the non-PRC backdoor version of skype here in Beijing was to have someone dropbox the .deb. sudo dpkg -i skype has been running great ever since. | 13:31 |
| Benkinooby | Chathurga: do you get grapical interface before or after the users gets auto-logged in | 13:31 |
| Chathurga | oh gdm | 13:31 |
| bucketm0use | Wiz_KeeD, the link I sent you does not ask you to do that though? | 13:31 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Just scared | 13:31 |
| Chathurga | after | 13:32 |
| Wiz_KeeD | bucketm0use, sorry? | 13:32 |
| cfhowlett | Wiz_KeeD, 4.2.0.11 for ubuntu 12.04 is in AMD64 packages ... | 13:32 |
| bucketm0use | If you're not confident then I wouldn't recommend trying it | 13:32 |
| Benkinooby | Chathurga: is it an option for you to install gdm or any other GUI Login manager? | 13:32 |
| Wiz_KeeD | idk what you just said cfhowlett :)) | 13:32 |

| Chathurga | Not with the way things are structured in the course no | 13:33 |
| Wiz_KeeD | so what am I supposed to understand/do now? | 13:33 |
| cfhowlett | Wiz_KeeD, get that package and install. don't understand why you're reporting that it doesn't exist. | 13:34 |
| Wiz_KeeD | So I asked one question got 3 different answers, someone says i should download form the site the 32 bit one, one says I should use those repositories, another says I should get a deb and do it myslef :)) | 13:34 |
| bucketm0use | So you have 3 solutions to 1 problem? | 13:34 |
| cfhowlett | Wiz_KeeD, open source = choice. :) | 13:34 |
| * cfhowlett thinks it's better than having 99 problems ... | 13:35 | |
| bucketm0use | Think of it as a blessing in disguise! | 13:35 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I will avoid of thinking like that since they cannot have the same consequences | 13:35 |
| Wiz_KeeD | especially when the official documentation from here says: It is highly recommended to use the package provided in the Canonical partner repository, not the one distributed from the skype website, as the skype website currently points users to the wrong package for 64-bit systems of Ubuntu 11.10 and above. | 13:36 |
| Benkinooby | Chathurga: how are things going on? | 13:36 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Had too much trouble from advice thrown just like that, I have no idea what i'm doing since i'm new here but it's clear that most of the people offering advice are not experts and do not know the full extent of the consequences | 13:36 |
| Pici | Wiz_KeeD: and yet we are the same people that write this documentation that you're reading... | 13:37 |
| Shogoot | i people. I go tthis if ($this->dateTo) return false; is that the same as say if (isset($this->dateTo)) return false; or how does that evaluate? dateTo is a timestamp object. | 13:37 |
| cfhowlett | !details|Shogoot, ??? w | 13:38 |
| ubottu | Shogoot, ??? w: 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 ..." | 13:38 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Then i have no idea what to do | 13:38 |
| Linux | Hey i was just woundering.... does Linux Own Wine program? | 13:38 |
| Pici | Wiz_KeeD: What does the contents of /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch say? | 13:38 |
| Benkinooby | Shogoot: also maybe #bash or ##bash is a better place to ask? | 13:38 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I will install it from the site and when I come back and say Skype crashes and reply how I installed it | 13:38 |
| cfhowlett | Wiz_KeeD, 3 possible solutions, try #1, #2, #3 ... | 13:38 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I will be made an idiot or some sort :) | 13:38 |
| Chathurga | If you're asking how tihngs happen, we boot into terminal then get people to manually startx, gnome loads up but no gnome-panel, naut, metacity | 13:38 |
| geirha | Linux: No, wine has no relation to linux | 13:38 |
| Chathurga | after startx when I opena terminal I can launch metacity no problem | 13:39 |
| Linux | ok thx | 13:39 |
| zhangxun | ol | 13:39 |
| Chathurga | I've tried placing metacity, nautilis and gnome-panel in ~/.xinitrc but nothing changes | 13:39 |
| Pici | Wiz_KeeD: I'm trying to help you without you trying random things because you don't seem to be comfortable with that. What does the contents of /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch say? | 13:39 |
| zhangxun | how many are you? | 13:39 |
| cfhowlett | zhangxun, ??? | 13:40 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Pici, should I vim that? | 13:40 |
| Pici | Wiz_KeeD: you can just cat it | 13:40 |

| gabrielcz | I have my co workers ... | 13:41 |
| Pici | Wiz_KeeD: Then you already have multiarch enabled, you can skip the "sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386" step and go on to the next one. | 13:41 |
| gabrielcz | I can not get write permission on a samba share | 13:41 |

| gabrielcz | I don´t get it.! I just did my question :D | 13:42 |
| zykotick9 | Chathurga: and is this gnome2 or gnome3? gnome2 uses metacity, gnome3 uses mutter (i believe) | 13:42 |
| cfhowlett | !details|gabrielcz, | 13:42 |
| ubottu | gabrielcz,: 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 ..." | 13:42 |
| gabrielcz | Im doing that cfhowlett | 13:42 |
| Wiz_KeeD | sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" | 13:42 |
| Pici | Wiz_KeeD: yes, that | 13:42 |
| Wiz_KeeD | is that to be trusted for all applications? | 13:42 |
| gabrielcz | I have problem with samba server give write users | 13:42 |
| gabrielcz | what else? :) | 13:43 |
| Wiz_KeeD | strange as searching with google for that command just skype shows up | 13:43 |
| Pici | Wiz_KeeD: That is canonical's partner repository. Nothing is going to be installed from there unless you install it. | 13:44 |
| gabrielcz | Can anyone help me give users white access to a samba server? | 13:44 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Who's Canonical and when do I know if it's using that repository when I do another apt-get install? | 13:44 |
| Pici | Wiz_KeeD: Canonical is the company that funds development of Ubuntu. | 13:45 |
| cfhowlett | !canonical | 13:45 |
| ubottu | Canonical Ltd. is committed to the development, distribution and promotion of open source software products, and to providing tools and support to the open source community. It is the driving force behind the Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Edubuntu Operating Systems. Canonical's website is at http://www.canonical.com/ | 13:45 |
| Wiz_KeeD | And it's not included in the standard repositories because... | 13:45 |
| Pici | Wiz_KeeD: because there are mostly commercial software packages on there that don't go through the normal packaging process. | 13:46 |
| cfhowlett | Wiz_KeeD, because it's PARTNER software not canonical software. | 13:46 |
| Wiz_KeeD | yet they are reliable | 13:47 |
| cfhowlett | Wiz_KeeD, partners are vetted, yes. | 13:47 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I'm veery slowly starting to understand but it seems I should devote a lot more time and interest in this process | 13:47 |
| Pici | !partner | Wiz_KeeD | 13:47 |
| ubottu | Wiz_KeeD: Canonical's partner repositories provide a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 13:47 |
| Wiz_KeeD | okay, installing skype this way | 13:47 |
| neq8376 | skype is non-free, proprietary, closed source software | 13:47 |
| Wiz_KeeD | to update a certain package i should do apt-get install package right? | 13:47 |
| Wiz_KeeD | in order to not update all of them | 13:47 |
| cfhowlett | Wiz_KeeD, correct | 13:47 |
| Wiz_KeeD | closed source software, got it neq8376 | 13:47 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Just like the wireless drivers that did not work? :( | 13:48 |
| cfhowlett | Wiz_KeeD, well, actually, sudo apt-get install software | 13:48 |
| Chathurga | This is the commands I run when the ISO is being created: http://pastebin.com/FPwLJwWH | 13:48 |
| neq8376 | Wiz_KeeD: i only buy hardware that runs with open source drivers | 13:48 |
| Wiz_KeeD | A bit too late for that neq8376 :) | 13:48 |
| Wiz_KeeD | !dropbox | 13:48 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ubottu knows nothing about dropbox, eeek | 13:49 |
| ubottu | Wiz_KeeD: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:49 |
| Pici | Wiz_KeeD: Please /msg ubottu instead of randomly trying commands. The rest of us know these commands exist before trying them here. | 13:49 |
| WACOMalt | Fow anyone wondering, I figured out how to download from technet via command line. I ad to include login info directly in the URL. and replace the @ sign in my email with + and special characters in the password with their % codes | 13:49 |
| Wiz_KeeD | okay Pici, sorry | 13:49 |
| WACOMalt | pain in the butt but it worked | 13:49 |
| cfhowlett | WACOMalt, might be worth posting a tutorial in the forums. glad you fingered it out. | 13:50 |
| Wiz_KeeD | so no documented information about dropbox | 13:51 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I see there's a nautilius and dropbox integration, but that doesn't mean it installs dropbox right? | 13:51 |
| cfhowlett | Wiz_KeeD, for this one, you go the dropbox site. | 13:51 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I see it has a 64 bit deb file | 13:52 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Is this truly trusted? Not like the skype one? :)) | 13:52 |
| cfhowlett | https://www.dropbox.com/install?os=lnx | 13:52 |
| cfhowlett | Wiz_KeeD, it's as trusted as skype is .. | 13:52 |
| Chathurga | I tried putting gnome-session; exec metacity; exec gnome-panel but this fails. I put . /etc/X11/Xsession; exec metacity; exec gnome-panel in .xinitrc gnome starts but metacyity and gnome-panel do not. | 13:52 |
| Wiz_KeeD | And how does downloading it and double-clicking it any different fomthe dpkg -i thingy? | 13:52 |
| zykotick9 | Chathurga: "exec gnome-session" should be all you need... | 13:53 |
| WACOMalt | so curl -L http://username+email.com:PASSWORD%40%40@sub.domain.com/path/and/redirect/arguments/and/stuff&stuff | 13:53 |
| geirha | WACOMalt: You can use a .netrc file to avoid putting the username and password in the url. See curl's -n option | 13:55 |
| WACOMalt | oh neat. Thanks for that... that totally woulda saved me so much time | 13:56 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Could anyone tell me the difference between clicking on the .deb file and doing dpkg -i package.deb in console? | 13:56 |
| boxmein | Hey, my ubuntu 13.04 is not utilizing my wireless card. It used to so I somehow fucked it up. I have a feeling it was with the installation of some other drivers, so tg3 < b43. Could you point me to what I should do next? Also, here's some data. http://pastebin.com/mfyRgeGF | 13:57 |
| boxmein | the driver used to be b43 I am almost sure yet it's tg3 now and I am leaning towards blaming the entire thing on that | 13:58 |
| andreligne | anyone using gala here? | 13:59 |
| Benkinooby | Wiz_KeeD: hm, i'm no expert but i guess ther is no difference, since .deb packages should be openend by your package manager anyway | 14:00 |
| Benkinooby | Wiz_KeeD: so it's either "open this deb with the package manager" or "package manager, please open this file" - that's how i see it, but you better check back with the experts her | 14:01 |
| Benkinooby | *here | 14:01 |
| siberiannerd | i got problem with grub after installation from hdd media (which is unsupported by ubuntu), any ideas what's going on in there? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6097143/ | 14:04 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I wish some would answer Benkinooby :)) | 14:05 |
| SuperLag | I'm using Pidgin, and in Unity, the "tray" icon isn't showing up. Is that a known issue? | 14:06 |
| siberiannerd | the things is sdb is the drive on sata i installed from and currently running live from | 14:06 |

| Benkinooby | Wiz_KeeD: well, most of not all people here are helping for free - so if no one answers, thei either don't know, or don't have time for you | 14:07 |
| zhangxun | what | 14:07 |
| zhangxun | what | 14:07 |
| zhangxun | what's matter? | 14:07 |
| zhangxun | hello? | 14:08 |
| helmut_ | hi | 14:08 |
| zhangxun | hi | 14:08 |
| caodepalha | hi everyone! is it possible to change desktop enviroments and keep programs opened running? | 14:08 |
| zhangxun | for example? | 14:08 |
| zhangxun | I don't understand | 14:09 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Can anyone tell me how to install the broadcom wireless driver since by default Ubuntu 12.04 64 could not install it by default? | 14:09 |
| siberiannerd | yeah in theory if x sessions were handled in different way i suspect, so most probably no | 14:09 |
| caodepalha | i use ubuntustudio to make music but when i'm just doing other stuff i like to use the gnome desktop. if i'm on ubuntustudio and want to change to gnome can i keep the programs open while changing? | 14:10 |
| SuperLag | caodepalha: I doubt it. The programs you start in one DE are child processes of that DE's session. So when you kill that DE to switch to the other one, all the child processes die. | 14:10 |
| caodepalha | and is there a way to remember and reopen programs from the last session? | 14:11 |
| SuperLag | caodepalha: Now... if these are console-based programs, like something you kick off from the command-line, then you can use something like screen or tmux... and start that app from a screen/tmux session, and that would persist across your change of DE | 14:11 |
| zhangxun | I agree with SuperLag | 14:11 |
| siberiannerd | caodepalha, why not to have 2 different users for that purpose and keep things opened for another user's session? | 14:11 |
| SuperLag | caodepalha: ^^ good idea ^^ | 14:12 |
| zhangxun | haha | 14:12 |
| zhangxun | where are You? | 14:12 |
| lesshaste | where do I find a printing option saying double sided should be default? | 14:12 |
| lesshaste | I can't see it in "printing" | 14:12 |
| siberiannerd | i got problem with grub after installation from hdd media (which is unsupported by ubuntu), any ideas what's going on in there? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6097143/ | 14:12 |
| boxmein | ugh | 14:13 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Dropbox says, in order to run dropbox you must install the proprietary daemon...what the hell is that | 14:13 |
| caodepalha | you mean creating another user and allow programs between both? | 14:14 |
| siberiannerd | dropbox or daemon? or propietary? | 14:14 |
| BluesKaj | !dropbox | 14:14 |
| SuperLag | Wiz_KeeD: Okay, so.... you want Dropbox. What's the problem? | 14:15 |
| Wiz_KeeD | that's what dropbox says when I launch it for the first time | 14:15 |
| WACOMalt | Dang I was wrong. even that doesnt work | 14:15 |
| BluesKaj | dropbox needs nautilus integration on gnome | 14:15 |
| Wiz_KeeD | NEEDS it? | 14:15 |
| boxmein | ugh getting wireless driver stuff to work on linux is a pain | 14:15 |
| boxmein | at least it works on windows | 14:15 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Then I should have installed it with that, but someone here suggested I should get the deb from the dropbox site :) | 14:15 |
| BluesKaj | well it's easier | 14:15 |
| SuperLag | BluesKaj: actually, didn't we have this discussion just the other day? :) | 14:15 |
| SuperLag | oh wait | 14:16 |
| SuperLag | Wiz_KeeD: are you on 13.04? | 14:16 |
| Wiz_KeeD | 12.04 SuperLag | 14:16 |
| Wiz_KeeD | 64 bi | 14:16 |
| BluesKaj | SuperLag, yes , but I use kde so it's differnt since dolphin isn't setup to integrate with dropbox | 14:16 |
| SuperLag | Wiz_KeeD: yes, you should use the nautilus integration | 14:17 |
| ferrieres | Hi everybody ! | 14:17 |
| SuperLag | Wiz_KeeD: there are ways to do it without, but it's *much* easier to just use what they provide | 14:17 |
| zhangxun | Keep on question | 14:17 |
| ferrieres | Slow rendering since 4-5 days now (back to work) ... any help ? | 14:17 |
| Wiz_KeeD | SuperLag, so now because I've listened someone on this channel to download dropbox from the site and install it, was the wrong move right? | 14:18 |
| BluesKaj | Wiz_KeeD, https://www.dropbox.com/install?os=lnx | 14:19 |
| SuperLag | Wiz_KeeD: no, not at all... | 14:19 |
| CiscOH | does anyone know of a good how to guide for creating an IPSec tunnel between two ubuntu servers? this will not bridge local LANs. I have 1 VPS i wish to connect to a local server. This will carry email, NFS traffic | 14:19 |
| ferrieres | I try to find what has run bad on my comp. Seems that having a ATI/AMD is not a good idea with the 12.04 but perhapps it's the main pb... | 14:20 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Now it's downloading using the .deb I dowloaded and radn myself, now what? | 14:20 |
| Wiz_KeeD | what's the BEST move now... | 14:20 |
| BluesKaj | Wiz_KeeD, that site should help you install it | 14:20 |
| boxmein | Okay scratch my last statement. I might've got jockey to work. | 14:20 |
| Wiz_KeeD | And it's stuck on 16% moving really slow | 14:20 |
| SuperLag | Wiz_KeeD: what's stuck on 16%? | 14:20 |
| Wiz_KeeD | the dropbox.deb file downloaded form the site which is downloading dropbox itself when running | 14:21 |
| Wiz_KeeD | 18% | 14:21 |
| CiscOH | i was hoping for something less bloated than OpenVPN for UDP transport | 14:21 |
| siberiannerd | i got problem with grub after installation from hdd media (which is unsupported by ubuntu), any ideas on what's going on in there? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6097143/ | 14:21 |
| BluesKaj | Wiz_KeeD, being a deb file just click on it when it's finished downloading and it will install itself | 14:21 |
| siberiannerd | CiscOH, what's wrong with openvpn? | 14:21 |
| Wiz_KeeD | So it makes NO DIFFERENCE at all if i install it like this, or through the command line, or through the dropbox-nautilius integration that downloads and does it for me... | 14:22 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Because the installation might work, but last time I ended up with some nasty errors that appeared eevery 10 minutes or so | 14:22 |
| CiscOH | siberiannerd, it is using too much memory for my taste | 14:23 |
| siberiannerd | CiscOH, ssh tunnel maybe? | 14:23 |
| SuperLag | Wiz_KeeD: I don't understand what you think the problem is. Download the .deb, install it. Start Dropbox, it will have you restart nautilus, and then register or log in if you have an account already... it's not complex. | 14:23 |
| CiscOH | ssh is tcp | 14:23 |
| CiscOH | i need udp. tcp will add too much overhead | 14:24 |
| SuperLag | Wiz_KeeD: is the download process itself where the trouble is? | 14:24 |
| Wiz_KeeD | There are 3 totally different ways of installing the same software, before installing now it showed me some missing libraris and that proprietary daemon, and I don't feel comfortable installing without knowing what's hapening or what's the best method | 14:24 |
| === blitzkrieg3 is now known as jmleddy | ||
| siberiannerd | CiscOH, well do you need security or nicer response and resource consumption? | 14:24 |
| Wiz_KeeD | If i come back and say "Dropbox is giving a lot of errors" and i'm asked how i installed it then i will be persecuted for doing it badly, then maybe even some repository conflicts as it is custom to happen | 14:24 |
| Wiz_KeeD | And I want to avoid complications but being very thorugh in what I do | 14:25 |
| JMichaelX | i have a home server running ubuntu 12.04.3. it has 2 audio adapters, one is NVIDIA (digital), and the other is a c-media USB audio adapter. i configured alsa-base.conf to give index 0 to the USB adapter. audio is working, but i cannot adjust volume... using mpd or mocp, etc. any suggestions? | 14:25 |
| LordDragon | hey all | 14:25 |
| LordDragon | i am getting a blank screen in the "canonical partner" sectin of software center | 14:25 |
| LordDragon | i went into "sources" and checked the partner boxes | 14:25 |
| SuperLag | Wiz_KeeD: right. In my opinion, and BluesKaj seems to echo the same sentiment, getting the .deb file from the dropbox.com site, and installing it that way is best. | 14:25 |
| LordDragon | did a apt-get update | 14:25 |
| CiscOH | siberiannerd, i am not sure what that is supposed to mean. i am simply asking if anyone knows of an easy guide for setting up IPSec tunnels between 2 ubuntu serves' | 14:25 |
| LordDragon | but its still blank after reboot | 14:26 |
| CiscOH | servers* | 14:26 |
| LordDragon | anyone know why it might be blank? | 14:26 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ok SuperLag, thanks for the vote of confidence! | 14:26 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I will wait and see | 14:26 |
| Wiz_KeeD | After it finishes installing I can sudo apt-get install the nautilius integration? | 14:27 |
| siberiannerd | CiscOH, yeah but at the same time you're not comfortable about using openvpn complaining for your taste of ram consumption, do you notice the dissonance in the context? | 14:27 |
| SuperLag | Wiz_KeeD: it will set up the integration for you automatically. When you double-click on the .deb file, it will download all the dependencies and do the magic. | 14:27 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Ok then, I will wait and see | 14:28 |
| LordDragon | is there an apt-get command i can use to install flash? | 14:28 |
| zihubu | lol | 14:29 |
| SuperLag | LordDragon: I believe that would be flashplugin-installer | 14:29 |
| nickguletskii | Hi, what steps should I take if a bug has been falsely marked as "fix released"? | 14:29 |
| LordDragon | SuperLag: thanks ill try that | 14:29 |
| SuperLag | LordDragon: i.e. apt-get install flashplugin-installer | 14:29 |
| genii | LordDragon: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 14:29 |
| siberiannerd | LordDeath, you're looking for flashplugin-installer probably? | 14:29 |
| genii | LordDragon: ( Will get Flash plus some other stuff ) | 14:30 |
| SuperLag | LordDragon: yeah, what genii said is more thorough | 14:30 |
| LordDragon | thanks genii | 14:30 |
| siberiannerd | oh sorry too many lords here | 14:30 |
| SuperLag | listen to genii | 14:30 |
| genii | LordDragon: np | 14:30 |
| SuperLag | siberiannerd: and not enough ladies | 14:30 |
| CiscOH | siberiannerd, my statement was that it was using too much memory for the task. one tunnel to another server. i am not connecting other clients to it. | 14:30 |

| Wiz_KeeD | trying to install adobe air in 12.04 64 bits | 14:31 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ughh ugly | 14:31 |
| SuperLag | Wiz_KeeD: yuck. I feel sorry for you, that you need Adobe Air. | 14:31 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I really do need it unfortunately :( | 14:31 |
| siberiannerd | CiscOH, the very best implememntation in context of security is openvpn which also supports compression and udp as you probably know, ssh brings the same degree of secure but you still insist to get a lighter version of something similar, right? | 14:32 |
| stewbydoo2 | so my boss just told me ubuntu server is less secure than microsoft servers..true or false? | 14:32 |
| stewbydoo2 | he said unix in general has much more exploits then windows | 14:33 |
| Wiz_KeeD | SuperLag, what is the command to get infomration about a certain package on what it does? short description | 14:33 |
| nickguletskii | hmm, could someone please answer a small question? what steps should I take if a bug has been falsely marked as "fix released"? | 14:33 |
| stewbydoo2 | I need someone to tell me if he is full of shit or if he is right | 14:33 |
| Sandfly | Hello - I have just upgraded my version of openvpn on ubuntu 1204.3 LTS - I followed the instuctions on the official page http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/i386/openvpn/download - then i did apt-get update & upgrade and basically my entire system has been updated - it looks like it is all ok - in future could i use a command like "apt-get upgrade openvpn" to avoid my entire system being updated ? - thanks | 14:33 |
| BluesKaj | stewbydoo2, your boiss drank the MS kool ade | 14:33 |
| DJones | stewbydoo2: Not really a question for this channel, you should probably join #ubuntu-offtopic for a better discussion on that | 14:33 |
| jcbjoe | does ubuntu have an app thats like itunes ? | 14:34 |
| CiscOH | i am looking for the lightest possible IPSEC/UDP solution for a single server to server tunnel | 14:34 |
| Wiz_KeeD | apt-cache show it was | 14:34 |
| BluesKaj | !itunes | 14:35 |
| ubottu | itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee | 14:35 |
| siberiannerd | stewbydoo2, the things is that it doesn't really matter due to the fact that linux systems are harder to exploit because of overall environmental complexities, but that's just my subjective point of view, however the whole discussion is pointless because there is no such thing as "exploit for linux" | 14:35 |

| Wiz_KeeD | I am very well aware of that | 14:37 |
| SuperLag | yeehi: lspci | grep -i vga will show you your video card, lsmod will show you want kernel modules are loaded. | 14:38 |
| SuperLag | s/want/what | 14:38 |
| yeehi | thanks, SuperLag. What will show up with intel integrated graphics? | 14:38 |
| siberiannerd | yeehi, you can find your video adapters via `lspci` command and knowing it you can find out which modules may be responsible for i, complete list of them you can get via `lsmod` | 14:39 |
| BluesKaj | yeehi, lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 | grep 'in use' | 14:39 |

| genii | Wiz_KeeD: You probably want instead to make sure multiarch-support is installed. Then the system just autodecides what packages are needed ( 64 or 32 bit). | 14:47 |

| ikonia | John_Robinson: what languages do you write in ? | 15:37 |
| Wiz_KeeD | It's not that, it's super fast, especially internally but the proccess with the deb from the site was PAINFULLy slow for some reason | 15:37 |

| ikonia | linux_helper2881: the guys who maintain wine are in the channel #winehq | 15:43 |

| linux_helper2881 | well Login screen is not workin atm | 15:43 |
| ikonia | linux_helper2881: so i fyou want to make changes to wine upstream, those are the guys to talk to | 15:44 |

| siberiannerd | it's funny how i never get support for hours, days and even weeks coming here lol | 15:44 |
| linux_helper2881 | ok but wineHQ is dead as heck they do replay to ya at all | 15:44 |
| TsarObomba | siberiannerd: happens all the time to me | 15:44 |
| ikonia | TsarObomba: doesn't -i only work if it's ALL:ALL | 15:44 |
| siberiannerd | TsarObomba, you're not alone, mate | 15:45 |

| Darkstar1 | Anyone know how I can find out which version of swftools I have on my system? | 15:45 |
| TsarObomba | siberiannerd: it seems like if its a semi complex question, it gets pushed to the back of the line unless someone with real knowledge is around | 15:45 |
| ikonia | TsarObomba: from a security point of view, if you still have ALL:ALL disabling -i won't fix anything as you could still su - iwth sudo | 15:45 |
| TsarObomba | like ikonia :) | 15:45 |
| TsarObomba | ikonia: eh true | 15:46 |
| ikonia | TsarObomba: I don't beleve you can disable the -i flag with the ALL:ALL rule in place. | 15:46 |
| TsarObomba | nevermind then | 15:46 |
| ikonia | TsarObomba: (and to be honest, I don't see why you would if you leave ALL:ALL in place) | 15:46 |

| ikonia | siberiannerd: stop moaning please | 15:46 |
| siberiannerd | ikonia, but i'm close to start crying | 15:46 |
| ikonia | TsarObomba: I'll have a prod though as I'm interested now as in what allows/blocks the -i | 15:46 |
| TsarObomba | ikonia: because im not completely security concious and more lazy than anything, and im not worried about local security, i allow passwordless sudo (i dont want the speech, so dont) | 15:46 |
| dagon_ | ikonia: hmm, doesn't work now. I gotta go atm but I'll be back later. | 15:47 |
| TsarObomba | ikonia: i would think you could do allow all and have a blacklist somehow | 15:47 |
| ikonia | TsarObomba: I wouldn't waste time disabling -i (or trying to) if you allow passwordless sudo and ALL:ALL | 15:47 |
| TsarObomba | ikonia: but, better yet, im gonna leave passwordless sudo, block root logins, and only allow security key logins from ssh | 15:47 |
| TsarObomba | ikonia: it was only gonna be for remote | 15:47 |
| TsarObomba | if someone hacked the ssh login | 15:48 |
| ikonia | TsarObomba: remote/local doesn't make a difference | 15:48 |

| jhutchins | siberiannerd: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html | 15:48 |
| TsarObomba | but im changing it to security keys only for ssh | 15:48 |
| Desez2tpunk | Anyone at all...? | 15:48 |
| TsarObomba | ikonia: uh, sure it does | 15:48 |
| ikonia | TsarObomba: disabling (trying to) -i is a waste of effort for passwordless ALL:ALL staying in place. | 15:48 |
| TsarObomba | Im not worried aboyut anyone in my hoiuse doing something nefarious | 15:48 |
| Wiz_KeeD | SuperLag, seems so, it's syncing and creating the neccesairy folders, the icon on top works good, no errors so far so aparently it's good! | 15:48 |
| ikonia | TsarObomba: you could look at changing the ALL:ALL:ALL so that differnet hosts have different rules | 15:48 |
| TsarObomba | Because they arent smart enough to even work linux | 15:48 |
| SuperLag | Wiz_KeeD: excellent | 15:48 |
| ikonia | if you wanted to seperate local/no-local rules | 15:48 |
| TsarObomba | eh, thats true | 15:48 |
| Wiz_KeeD | The download from dropbox site and .deb run was slower and more painful aparently | 15:49 |
| TsarObomba | ki think i will stick with ssh keys only | 15:49 |
| ikonia | eg: box1:all:all box2:all:profile | 15:49 |
| ikonia | TsarObomba: ssh keys are nothing to do with sudo | 15:49 |
| TsarObomba | no crap | 15:49 |
| TsarObomba | But they stop people from logging in if they get my password | 15:49 |
| jhutchins | Wiz_KeeD: Consider what that might mean about retrieving your files from dropbox if downloading the client is that hard. | 15:49 |
| TsarObomba | which protects sudo | 15:49 |
| ikonia | TsarObomba: you can make it as open/profile drive/locked down as you want | 15:49 |
| TsarObomba | ssh is the entry point | 15:49 |
| TsarObomba | if i close the entry point, sudoi is useless | 15:50 |
| TsarObomba | period | 15:50 |
| TsarObomba | Lets not turn this into a pointless debate, please. | 15:50 |
| ikonia | TsarObomba: no-one is debating anything, I just answered your sudo question | 15:50 |
| TsarObomba | If I only allow ssh keys, and dont allow password logins, im good | 15:50 |

| ubottu | Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords | 15:59 |

| === speed is now known as Guest91070 | ||
| fabiano_ | can u know how use quite ubuntu? | 16:01 |
| siberiannerd | Wiz_KeeD, basically if you're not familiar what are those packages do exactly in terms of their relationships, just press Y | 16:01 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I am reluctant to press Y if i don't know something | 16:01 |
| === GingerGeek[Away] is now known as GingerGeek | ||
| EdwardSnowden | mwallacesd, what Log File Viewer? | 16:02 |
| siberiannerd | Wiz_KeeD, the only option is to read each package's description and understand what is written in there | 16:02 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I understand siberiannerd | 16:03 |
| siberiannerd | Wiz_KeeD, keep an eye on those packages that will be installed and correlation between the desired effect hah, you may catch the thing that is missing | 16:04 |
| z0ran | can anyone tell me, am i going to have any problem if i use zsh as root shell...im using ubuntu 12.04 | 16:04 |
| Wiz_KeeD | siberiannerd, last time i removed some libsql thing, didn't pay attention to what it removed | 16:05 |
| siberiannerd | z0ran, that shouldn't be a problem (no experience of this here) | 16:05 |
| Wiz_KeeD | And by the time i saw it removing python firefox and gnome it was too late :)) | 16:05 |
| z0ran | thanks siberiannerd | 16:05 |
| siberiannerd | Wiz_KeeD, suggested packages are more often just recommendations on expanding functional and such | 16:05 |
| EdwardSnowden | z0ran, zsh is a little different, you'll get errors if you run bash scripts | 16:06 |
| Wiz_KeeD | One question, if i made a key with ssh keygen rsa thing and added it to multiple servers | 16:06 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Now that i've formatted it's changed, but i have the backup of the home directory where the old ones are saved | 16:06 |
| Wiz_KeeD | how can i "translpant" them? | 16:06 |
| z0ran | EdwardSnowden, thanks for that info, yes, i use a lot bash scripts...so i think i'll reconsider and stay with bash | 16:07 |
| siberiannerd | z0ran, why do you need zsh at all? | 16:07 |
| EdwardSnowden | Wiz_KeeD, just copy the key to the .ssh directory | 16:07 |
| z0ran | just to try siberiannerd...but no, i think i'll stay with bash | 16:08 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I did that EdwardSnowden , didn't sem to work | 16:08 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I copied the entire contents even the known_hosts yet it doesn't match | 16:08 |
| Wiz_KeeD | :) | 16:08 |
| mwallacesd | Hi there, I lost my connection. | 16:08 |
| EdwardSnowden | Wiz_KeeD, did you set the permissions? It won't work if the file is has +w | 16:08 |
| EdwardSnowden | Wiz_KeeD, if the key is writable that is | 16:09 |
| Wiz_KeeD | pfff EdwardSnowden you may very well be right!! | 16:09 |
| siberiannerd | z0ran, hah trying stuff that may have a system-wide effect is not a good thing man | 16:09 |

| antar_ | EdwardSnowden, i got a lot of errors when using graphic.h , gtk.h and qt | 16:11 |
| antar_ | EdwardSnowden, Ide that has a gui | 16:12 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I gave the exact same permissions as the ones generated from ssh keygen EdwardSnowden | 16:12 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Agent admitted failure to sign using the key. | 16:12 |
| Wiz_KeeD | something wrong... | 16:12 |
| EdwardSnowden | antar_, Then you want Eclipse. Download the C++ version | 16:12 |

| xcalibur1978 | hi! I have an error starting netflix in Ubuntu (whine / silverlight / Gnome): Compositing is not available, please enable compositing support and relaunch Netflix Desktop | 16:16 |
| xcalibur1978 | can anyone tell me what to do about it? | 16:16 |
| EdwardSnowden | Wiz_KeeD, man ssh-add | 16:16 |
| mwallacesd | WELL | 16:17 |
| mwallacesd | WELL | 16:17 |
| mwallacesd | A new user was created on the system, old user's files was copy with cp -R then the permitions was changed with chown -r. (user group was modified too) The problem is that I cannot open Log Files viewer Aplication with this new user. | 16:17 |
| Wiz_KeeD | suddenly it started working EdwardSnowden :\ | 16:17 |
| mwallacesd | I could open with sudo sudo gnome-system-log | 16:17 |
| mwallacesd | but I want to open with my new user. | 16:17 |
| mwallacesd | Any suggestion? | 16:17 |
| xcalibur1978 | mwallecesd: the command "chmod 755" would make it executable for the user who created it and readable for both the group and guest users | 16:18 |
| Pici | mwallacesd: add the user to the adm group to allow them to read items in /var/log/ | 16:19 |
| EdwardSnowden | xcalibur1978, You have to use compiz to enable compositing | 16:19 |
| mwallacesd | THANKS a lot Pici | 16:19 |
| xcalibur1978 | Thanx Edward Snowden | 16:19 |
| mwallacesd | the group name is just adm, is it correctly? | 16:19 |
| Darkstar1 | anyone know how to tell which version of swftools is in the repository? | 16:19 |
| mwallacesd | usermod: cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later | 16:20 |
| Pici | mwallacesd: yes. if you look, you should see that adm has group ownership of most of the files in /var/log | 16:20 |
| mhd | What do I do when https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure has failed to give me sound? | 16:21 |
| EdwardSnowden | Darkstar1, apt-cache show swftools | 16:22 |

| banisterfiend | hi | 16:24 |
| banisterfiend | i have a question not directly related to ubuntu, but i can't think where else to ask, can i try you guys here? | 16:24 |
| siberiannerd | i got problem with grub after installation from hdd media (which is unsupported by ubuntu), any ideas on what's going on in there? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6097714/ | 16:25 |
| Wiz_KeeD | EdwardSnowden, I got a huge list...now what? | 16:25 |
| banisterfiend | anyway, here it is: http://superuser.com/questions/644446/cant-login-to-youtube-since-changing-account-name | 16:25 |
| EdwardSnowden | Wiz_KeeD, Paste it http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/ | 16:25 |
| mwallacesd | Pici, my new user cannot see any group just his own group (i dont know the other group names or how to see it) but I run the command usermod -a -G adm mwallacesd | 16:26 |
| mwallacesd | cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later. | 16:26 |
| mwallacesd | What is wrong? | 16:26 |
| Wiz_KeeD | could you please teach me how to interpret this and find the proper driver for it EdwardSnowden ? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6097720/ | 16:26 |
| CatKiller | mwallacesd: You need to run this as "sudo"? | 16:27 |
| Pici | mwallacesd: you need to use sudo to change your own | 16:27 |
| mwallacesd | yes it is. | 16:27 |
| CatKiller | Pici: You don't need sudo to change your own you mean? | 16:28 |
| EdwardSnowden | Wiz_KeeD, It says you have a Dell wireless card using the ssb driver | 16:28 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ssb driver, whatever that means | 16:28 |
| Pici | CatKiller: you need sudo to change even your own groups | 16:28 |
| CatKiller | ahhh | 16:28 |
| CatKiller | well then anyways running this as sudo would work | 16:28 |
| EdwardSnowden | Wiz_KeeD, Do you see drivers for it in Additional Drivers? | 16:29 |
| Wiz_KeeD | CatKiller, I didn't manage to do the lvm thing since it was a bit complicated, I see it's the only options | 16:29 |
| arcsky | ist possible to upgrade to latest ubuntu gtom Ubuntu 11.04 | 16:29 |
| Wiz_KeeD | EdwardSnowden, I did, it said something about publisher not allowing access to source blabla, I clicked allow and it errored out during the install | 16:29 |
| Wiz_KeeD | :( | 16:29 |
| Monday | which has the fastest boot time Ubuntu, Xubuntu or Lubuntu? | 16:29 |
| CatKiller | Wiz_KeeD: Well then you also have FS level snapshots | 16:29 |
| CatKiller | which are probably better anyways | 16:29 |
| CatKiller | like zfs for instance | 16:29 |
| Wiz_KeeD | should I try again, or revert what it did? | 16:29 |
| Wiz_KeeD | CatKiller, FS level snapshots? | 16:29 |
| CatKiller | better in your case | 16:29 |
| CatKiller | Filesystem level | 16:29 |
| mwallacesd | Pici you right it wasn't sudo.. now I run sudo usermod -a -G adm mwallacesd | 16:30 |
| siberiannerd | Wiz_KeeD, some propietary drivers may require binary firmware | 16:30 |
| mwallacesd | but takes no effect | 16:30 |
| mwallacesd | I need to restart | 16:30 |
| mwallacesd | ? | 16:30 |
| CatKiller | Instead of snapshotting the entire "volume" you snapshot "files" | 16:30 |
| EdwardSnowden | banisterfiend, Log in with your gmail account | 16:30 |
| CatKiller | the entire filesystem in a way | 16:30 |
| Pici | mwallacesd: you need a new login shell to see the changes, a new terminal window generally doesn't provide that. | 16:30 |
| banisterfiend | EdwardSnowden i did | 16:30 |
| mwallacesd | Ok | 16:30 |
| banisterfiend | EdwardSnowden i get that error | 16:30 |
| mwallacesd | I will test | 16:30 |
| mwallacesd | Thanks a lot. | 16:30 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Catbuntu, filesystem, isn't it more important to save the libraries and all that? | 16:31 |
| Wiz_KeeD | siberiannerd, that's chinese to me, idk what to do | 16:31 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I would love to read and learn and educate myself | 16:31 |
| Wiz_KeeD | EdwardSnowden, any suggestions? | 16:32 |
| banisterfiend | EdwardSnowden this is my problem, but the solution there does not help: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/youtube/Vkd5er1ojN4 | 16:32 |
| siberiannerd | Wiz_KeeD, most often this being fixed via tricky quest which starts from google, sometimes such stock drivers just work not good, that can appear to be painful subject | 16:32 |
| EdwardSnowden | Wiz_KeeD, Can you uninstall the drivers? | 16:33 |
| Wiz_KeeD | EdwardSnowden, I do not know and i'm scared to make any rash moves since i've JUST placed my system back and I can start working, I already lost 2 days of work because of this crap :( | 16:33 |

| EdwardSnowden | Wiz_KeeD, I found a possible solution here https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+question/212504 | 16:36 |
| EdwardSnowden | Wiz_KeeD, Basically you do this sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter | 16:37 |
| EdwardSnowden | Wiz_KeeD, And sudo modprobe b43 | 16:37 |

| siberiannerd | Wiz_KeeD, if this won't end good talking of experience using broadcom wireless and you will decide to get rid of it at any cost for some reason, you may find useful to read about atheros chipset in spectrum of details connected to linux support and driver development process | 16:39 |
| Wiz_KeeD | chinese + japanese there siberiannerd :)) | 16:40 |
| Wiz_KeeD | EdwardSnowden, nothing came up after the install | 16:40 |
| Wiz_KeeD | should I try to run it? | 16:40 |

| Wiz_KeeD | atheros chipset ? | 16:41 |
| moksudxp | @EdwardSnowden after I write the command, ubuntu shows me a lot of errors like "Impossible to recover http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/raring-backports/universe/i18n/Translation-en" | 16:41 |
| siberiannerd | yep | 16:41 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Meaning when I buy a new laptop I should check the hardware to see how well it connects with linux? | 16:41 |
| EdwardSnowden | Wiz_KeeD, Try sudo modprobe b43 | 16:41 |
| otak | lucenut: #ubuntu-touch | 16:41 |
| siberiannerd | Wiz_KeeD, there were days when this was the only way to get something working with linux | 16:41 |
| Wiz_KeeD | EdwardSnowden, nothing happened | 16:42 |
| siberiannerd | you always buy hardware to install software on it for some certain purposes | 16:42 |
| Wiz_KeeD | siberiannerd, what should I look for when shopping for my next laptop then? | 16:42 |
| siberiannerd | so it may appear to be a good idea to check the specs from this side | 16:42 |
| Wiz_KeeD | so it's *nix ubuntu frindly? | 16:42 |
| EdwardSnowden | Wiz_KeeD, You have to reboot and see if network manager see your access points | 16:42 |
| siberiannerd | you may come here with it's specs | 16:42 |
| siberiannerd | or just model | 16:42 |
| Wiz_KeeD | EdwardSnowden, okay brb! | 16:42 |
| siberiannerd | some assumptions can be made according to it | 16:42 |

| EdwardSnowden | Wiz_KeeD, Ok, if it doesn't work you have to remove the b43-fwcutter package and reinstall it | 16:45 |
| Wiz_KeeD | EdwardSnowden, that's pretty...strange | 16:45 |
| EdwardSnowden | Wiz_KeeD, There's also the open source firmware firmware-b43-lpphy-installer | 16:45 |

| EdwardSnowden | Wiz_KeeD, Check f this exists /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43.conf | 16:48 |

| Wiz_KeeD | EdwardSnowden, http://pastebin.com/EyirfJYx | 16:49 |
| Wiz_KeeD | why would they do that.... | 16:49 |
| EdwardSnowden | Wiz_KeeD, Delete the line that says blacklist b43 and b43legacy | 16:50 |

| mal10c | Benkinooby: no problem. glad it worked out. i learned something there too | 17:27 |
| racho | Monday, generally ext4 otherwsie => lots of small files can cope with slow mounting -> ReiserFS; large files -> XFS/ZFS; feeling experimental -> btrfs | 17:27 |

| racho | Monday, i still use ext3 on most of the servers i manage.. it works good | 17:29 |

| kostkon | darth_damian_000, 2nd one | 18:04 |
| darth_damian_000 | thanks | 18:04 |
| cowbacon | dadsminecraft: and you also need to use the username on the debian machine, not the real name, for example if your real name is john smith and your username is jsmith its jsmith you need to use to log in | 18:04 |

| Benkinooby | zykotick9: but i am more worried about dbus and all that - i heard that you will suffer more than benefit from xdm | 18:09 |
| Benkinooby | since it can not handle certain things like console kit daemon | 18:09 |
| Benkinooby | i tried to bott with it and got stuck - now i want to know if i should try to fix it, or drop it | 18:10 |
| zykotick9 | Benkinooby: i haven't used xdm in years. you might consider lightdm or even slim as alternatives? best of luck. | 18:10 |

| OerHeks | !minimal | 18:15 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 18:15 |
| vite | OerHeks: thanks | 18:15 |
| cowbacon | vite: it depends on what you actually need. if you need the absolute minimum without sound etc go with server -> manual install of WM. but if you want media usage id recommend going with xubuntu/lubuntu and it'll be fixed for you | 18:15 |
| rypervenche | dadsminecraft: SSH uses the user on the system. And no, not that I know of. | 18:15 |
| OerHeks | vite, also your start with server iso is a good way | 18:15 |

| cowbacon | vite: you would probably need to download ecryptfs | 18:20 |
| dadsminecraft | yep cow it wors locar but not remote for "my" account and the newly created account does the ssh in just fine but "my" account does not remote in. Not a huge deal I know it is working. | 18:20 |
| cowbacon | dadsminecraft: are you perhaps using special chars in your password? that wont get translated correctly when sending from windows to linux. try chaning the password and see if it works | 18:21 |
| cowbacon | dadsminecraft: also, this is a bit more advanced to set up but it makes sshing into machines super easy once it's set up: http://www.howtoforge.com/ssh_key_based_logins_putty | 18:24 |
| dadsminecraft | thank-you for your guidance, feel like holding my hand through firewall and ip tables, nvm I must read and learn this crap, I feel too old to learn all this stuff.

| Oxymoron | How do you fix the cups filter options? I dont know why, but since latest ubuntu releases it print from wrong casette all the time, and when I force to print from rear casette with paper, then you cannot even see the text printed, thats how bad quality it is. I know the printer works as it works from my Windows computer. Seriously how to fix? I have installed the printers official driver from Canon, cups-common | 19:03 |

| wilee-nilee | altermann, If the sources list says 10.04, what is your reasoning you are running 12.04? | 19:08 |

| Enissay | After the update, chrome isnt displaying http://stackoverflow.com/ 's page anymore... (only blank pages, even the source code is there) | 19:12 |
| lapion | can anyone tell me what grub commands to use to boot with the root files system on a a partition with it volume in /@// | 19:12 |
| Enissay | anything to fix this ? or even how to roll back to an older version... | 19:13 |
| lapion | Enissay, Do other pages show ? | 19:13 |
| Enissay | lapion, yes | 19:13 |
| wilee-nilee | Enissay, any addons that may block? | 19:14 |
| lapion | Enissay, Do other pages show ?? | 19:14 |
| lapion | Enissay, Sorry meant to say: Even after a shift-refresh ? | 19:15 |
| Enissay | lapion, yes, all my other tabs are loaded correctly... | 19:15 |

| wilee-nilee | Enissay, You have had it closed since the upgrade right? adblockers, flashblockers,cookie blockers. | 19:17 |

| wilee-nilee | http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2010/02/google-chrome-safe-mode.html | 19:20 |
| Enissay | well, it's working in incognito mode... wich means some extension is causing this :/ | 19:21 |
| reisio | chromium --user-data-dir=nonsenseHere probably works, too | 19:21 |
| reisio | unless you have a million extensions, it's probably going to be simplest to backup your profile dir and start a new one | 19:22 |
| reisio | copying data from the old into the new as desired | 19:22 |

| trailblzr | Can anybody help me with a quick question for school? I've looked at textbooks and done some googling but I can't find the answer. I know there are two ways to change file permissions with chmod. Supposedly there's a third and I can't find it anywhere. I know you can do chmod 777 filename or chmod a=rwx. Is there a thrird method. | 19:33 |
| Magicarp | I'm trying to mount a VDI image. I've got the offset and my cmd so far is mount v.Vdi /mnt/ -o loop,offset=28672 but I need to pass the filesystem type | 19:34 |
| Enissay | lapion, I'll activate them when I need them, everytime I'll check the website to catch the one responsible xD | 19:34 |
| reisio | Magicarp: -t | 19:34 |
| CarlFK | dry[1]: looks like java is working, but minecraft is not. (note: "looks like" is about all I got) | 19:35 |
| reisio | I wonder if minecraft requires oracle's jre over opendk | 19:35 |
| reisio | would be odd | 19:36 |
| reisio | but Java™ is odd :p | 19:36 |
| dry[1] | CarlFK: So what about Cheese, WebcamStudio... | 19:36 |
| Walex | trailblzr: not really.... | 19:36 |
| Walex | trailblzr: you can *copy* permissions from a file to another, but it is not a really different way. | 19:36 |
| Walex | trailblzr: anyhow 'man chmod' will help... | 19:37 |
| Magicarp | reisio I've added -t ext4 to the end but it gives me wrong fs type even though it's defiantly ext4 | 19:37 |
| Walex | Magicarp: adding options *to the end* is usually a rather bad idea copied unthinkily over from DOS. | 19:38 |
| reisio | Magicarp: what do you plan to do after mounting it? | 19:38 |
| reisio | Magicarp: why are you storing this data as a .vdi? | 19:38 |
| reisio | Walex: hrmm? | 19:38 |
| dadsminecraft | for what its worth I installed oracal jre on sons laptop and it works just fine | 19:39 |
| Walex | Magicarp: also probably the offset is wrong, else 'mount' would autodetect the type of fs. | 19:39 |
| reisio | dadsminecraft: same OS? | 19:39 |
| === fred_ is now known as Guest57004 | ||
| reisio | Magicarp: a compressed tarball is a good way to store a filesystem | 19:40 |
| reisio | Magicarp: a .vdi is not | 19:40 |
| Walex | reisio: the UNIX tradition is that options and arguments take effect strictly left-to-right., and while some programs allow you to do otherwise, many programs still do it left to right. | 19:40 |
| reisio | Walex: name two | 19:40 |
| dadsminecraft | sorry I failed to see he is on 12.04, I am on 13.04? | 19:40 |
| reisio | dadsminecraft: well I meant OS not version anyways :) so that's interesting | 19:41 |
| Walex | reisio: 'tar' and 'iptables' for example | 19:41 |
| reisio | dadsminecraft: maybe it really does need oracle's | 19:41 |
| CarlFK | dry[1]: "not working" .. | 19:41 |
| reisio | Walex: tar? I don't think so | 19:41 |
| whowhat | What archive formats include file lists? Does anybody know? I'm trying to use encrypted archives on a remote drive, and I'm using RAR format. However, when I try to list the files in the archive via "rar l archive.rar" I notice that my bandwidth spikes and an amount of data equivalent to the archive size is downloaded before the files are listed. I would like to be able to encrypt a file list that is included in the file container, is t | 19:41 |
| whowhat | his possible? | 19:41 |
| whowhat | my bad, I do "unrar l archive.rar" | 19:41 |
| Walex | whowhat: ZIP for example. | 19:41 |
| reisio | and I don't think iptables is a traditional Unix tool | 19:42 |
| reisio | so 2 times the wrong :) | 19:42 |
| wilee-nilee | insert rim shot here | 19:42 |
| Walex | reisio: consider the '-C' option of 'tar'... | 19:42 |
| reisio | Walex: what about the -C option | 19:42 |
| CarlFK | dry[1]: "blank screen" is sounding more like a video problem than a java problem | 19:42 |

| jhutchins | whowhat: No. | 19:43 |

| SupaYoshii | Hey guys, Im getting this error with a program: jpeglib.h: No such file or directory | 19:44 |
| Walex | reisio: also 'gcc' for example. | 19:44 |
| dry[1] | CarlFK: Cheese + WebcamStudio - not even opening with a message like "Try to reproduce the problem you are facing and 'Close' Cheese." | 19:44 |
| SupaYoshii | However i have the libpng-dev installed | 19:44 |
| whowhat | reisio: thanks, I'll look into the latter two options | 19:44 |
| Walex | reisio: most of the programs that don't use GNU GetOpt... | 19:44 |
| SupaYoshii | so i dont know | 19:44 |
| SupaYoshii | whats wrong =/ | 19:44 |
| reisio | Walex: ignoring that gcc is also not a traditional Unix util, what is your example of strangely ordered params failing? | 19:45 |
| Walex | reisio: that except for GNU GetOpt option arguments apply only to the non-option arguments that follow it on the command line. | 19:46 |
| CarlFK | dry[1]: I would find a #minecraft support channel - i hear it is pretty popular :) | 19:46 |
| Pici | SupaYoshii: but libpng-dev doesn't provide jpeglib.h.... Try libjpeg62-dev or libjpeg-turbo8-dev instead. | 19:46 |
| reisio | Walex: as opposed to? | 19:46 |
| dry[1] | CarlFK: Another message: "Cheese crashed with SIGSEGV in cheese_camera_setup()". Is this some kind of hint? | 19:48 |
| === jack is now known as Guest68715 | ||
| === kamer90 is now known as kmg90 | ||
| CarlFK | dry[1]: kinda .. I am guessing *if* they are related, cheese is trying to display an image, so instead of black screen it errors | 19:50 |

| altermann | antar: all of those packages depend on libqtcore4 which fails to install no matter what i do | 20:15 |
| antar | altermann, so i think that you need to install this dependencies | 20:15 |
| TikkaMassala | reisio: Yes, but its mostly the default theme and the menu bar implemented on the panel that i like about Ubuntu, the launcher bar i could do without honestly. And i guess i like the search thingy menu, its something different | 20:15 |

| Ben64 | MariusIT: then i can see what url your computer is actually trying to access :) | 20:23 |
| altermann | MonkeyDust: Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS \n \l - that's the output of cat /etc/issue | 20:23 |
| MariusIT | Ben64 http://2.ben64.com/ precise main restricted ? | 20:23 |
| Ben64 | MariusIT: yep | 20:23 |
| MariusIT | k | 20:23 |
| MonkeyDust | altermann great, now let's look at your sources... pastebin sudo apt-get update | 20:23 |
| MariusIT | Ben64: accessed, what's it saying? | 20:24 |
| MariusIT | Ben64: source 86.120.254.60 | 20:25 |
| Ben64 | MariusIT: um... no access at all | 20:25 |
| MariusIT | Ben64: o_O let me try again... | 20:25 |

| altermann | that's the output after i ran apt-get update | 20:26 |
| MariusIT | Ben64: ok, how about now? | 20:26 |
| Ben64 | still nothing | 20:26 |
| MariusIT | Ben64: was a typo in it, should say something | 20:26 |
| Ben64 | absolutely nothing from you | 20:27 |
| Ben64 | i'd suggest using wireshark to find out, but i'm guessing you can't install it without apt-get working | 20:28 |
| MonkeyDust | altermann and what was your initial question/issue? | 20:28 |
| root_ | n | 20:28 |

| MonkeyDust | altermann yes, i see the infamous 'libstdc' in that list | 20:30 |
| dtcrshr | cowbacon: Actually on the vmware after I boot it goes straight to the login prompt, is there any other commands to call the repair mode beoore boot? | 20:30 |
| altermann | MonkeyDust: what about it? | 20:31 |
| T-Sourcemaker | can I configure procmail for logging to syslog? | 20:31 |
| pfraze | rkhunter worth it? | 20:31 |
| MonkeyDust | altermann sorry, it's beyond me, i'm sure someone else can help better | 20:34 |

| arayaq | Hi. I have problems trying to install Ubuntu on a laptop with a external monitor only. The screen gets detected at start but soon the monitor goes off saying no signal. | 20:36 |
| === wylde_ is now known as wylde | ||
| arayaq | Has anyone experienced and solved something similar? | 20:36 |
| === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM | ||
| wylde | arayaq: Have you tried the laptop's hardware buttons for switching to external display only? | 20:38 |
| arayaq | wylde: Yes, I have tried. Also tried nomodeset and nothing happens | 20:38 |
| an3k | hi all | 20:39 |
| an3k | how can I check for what reason ubuntu 13.04 cannot go into suspend/hibernate on this notebook? | 20:39 |
| altermann | i'm getting another issue after following an online guide but not removing and actually reinstalling my packages, the error is:http://paste.ubuntu.com/6098740/ | 20:41 |
| wylde | arayaq: Alrighty. Just thougt I'd put that out there. Had to do that with an old laptop using an external display only once. | 20:42 |
| === warfaren is now known as hmmm | ||
| kostkon | an3k, try to suspend/hibernate and right after check your logs if that is possible | 20:42 |
| arayaq | wylde: Thank you anyway :) | 20:43 |
| an3k | kostkon: i cannot even try because the menu entry is grayed out | 20:43 |
| === hmmm is now known as warfaren | ||
| === RDash is now known as RDash[AW] | ||
| kostkon | an3k, hibernate is disabled by default in ubuntu anyway. you should have an option to suspend though | 20:43 |
| jhutchins | an3k: What notebook? How old? | 20:44 |
| an3k | well, german lang and for us hibernate is the same as suspend | 20:44 |
| an3k | standby is possible without problems | 20:44 |
| kostkon | an3k, stanby = suspend | 20:44 |
| an3k | jhutchins: DELL Inspiron 630m, around 6 or 8 years | 20:44 |
| jhutchins | an3k: swap >= 1x RAM? | 20:44 |
| an3k | kostkon: oh :) | 20:44 |
| an3k | jhutchins: RAM & swap = 2 GB | 20:45 |
| jhutchins | an3k: It's possible the BIOS doesn't support it. | 20:45 |
| an3k | well, it worked on windows 7 so i gess it supports it :) | 20:45 |
| jhutchins | an3k: Not necessarily. Manufactureres cheat in Windows. | 20:46 |
| kostkon | an3k, and if the option is greyed out as you say, it shouldn't be there at all actually if you are in vanilla ubuntu, then you might need to enable it first | 20:46 |
| jhutchins | an3k: My recommendation would be to play with the suspend commands in the console and see what it says. | 20:46 |
| hitman | hola | 20:46 |
| an3k | kostkon: i checked "enable hibernate" somewhere in the settings | 20:47 |
| an3k | jhutchins: shutdown? | 20:47 |
| delinquentme | I left $ sudo apt-get upgrade running overnight ... how can I check to see if the process is still upgrading? I'm guessing something in $ top ? | 20:47 |
| an3k | until now i only used console to shutdown or reboot :) | 20:48 |
| gordonjcp | delinquentme: can't you just look at the terminal to see what it's doing? | 20:48 |
| dyim_ | deliquentme.. next time you do that, use screen | 20:48 |
| an3k | delinquentme: ps aux | grep apt-get | 20:48 |
| dyim_ | like this $ screen apt-get upgrade | 20:49 |
| an3k | nah | 20:49 |
| an3k | screen -dmS aptgrade ./mycommand | 20:49 |
| an3k | that will auto put it in the background and give it the name aptgrade | 20:49 |
| an3k | if you wanna see it screen -r aptgrade. To detach Ctrl+A + Ctrl+D | 20:50 |
| an3k | jhutchins: I have a suspend binary here but no hibernate. Do I have to install a package? :) | 20:52 |
| kostkon | an3k, http://www.howtogeek.com/113923/how-to-re-enable-hibernate-in-ubuntu-12.04/ | 20:56 |
| an3k | thx | 20:56 |
| dadsminecraft | ok I am trying to run a remote desktop of xubuntu on my windows machine, all the ssh and xterm and bash is working, what is the command for the desktop? | 20:56 |
| === zp is now known as DarthEaron | ||
| kostkon | an3k, if it hibernates succeesfuly from windows, it should hibernate fine from ubuntu as well | 20:57 |
| dadsminecraft | oh and If I open the file browser thunar It seems I can see directories and files that I dont think I should be able to see with that account, what do I need to do to restrict acess? | 20:58 |
| an3k | ok, im going to test it, brb ... hopefully :) | 20:58 |
| kostkon | an3k, good luck... | 20:59 |
| DarthEaron | Okay so im trying to use empathy with facebook on raring 13.04 and it givies me facebook acount requires authorization...ive done alot of research to no anvil...one sight said that it was because of telepathy-gabble and something about a Disco, claming that a bata version fixed the issue but it has not. has anyone ran across this before me? | 20:59 |
| wylde | dadsminecraft: you'll probably need cygwin to run a local xserver if you're looking to run a remote desktop session tunneled through ssh. Easier to use vnc no? | 21:00 |
| nate7829 | dadsminecraft, are you speaking of sshfs? and to restrict access to files/folders, you can use chmod and chown | 21:00 |
| OerHeks | DarthEaron, open facebook in your webbrowser, there may be an option in your account to grand access if i recall correctly | 21:00 |
| gordonjcp | dadsminecraft: if you're doing remote desktop stuff look into using VNC | 21:01 |
| gordonjcp | dadsminecraft: but remote desktop doesn't really work very well on any system | 21:01 |
| gordonjcp | dadsminecraft: what are you trying to do? | 21:02 |
| DarthEaron | OerHeks: tried all of that, so far as to delete the security exception in facebook so i get asked to allow it again. nothing seems to work | 21:02 |
| dadsminecraft | ok what I am trying to do is set up a minecraft server on my spare computer, and allow some one to be able to remote administer it, plain and simple right? | 21:03 |
| wylde | dadsminecraft: you can do that right through ssh on the commandline. A minecraft server on linux has no gui anyway :) | 21:04 |
| kostkon | an3k, was it a succcess | 21:04 |
| dadsminecraft | and I really dont need remote desktop, I got the cygwin set up on my windows machine more for testing | 21:04 |
| DarthEaron | could anyone point me to an empathy or telepathy-gabble related channel? | 21:06 |
| an3k | kostkon: nope. first it takes much longer than shutting down and starting up again and secondly it doesn't read thre swap into ram at all. maybe because encrypted filesystem | 21:06 |
| kostkon | an3k, oh you didnt mention that. could be yeash | 21:06 |
| dadsminecraft | ok I got that it can be done in ssh alone, but as a newb and trying to understand what I am setting up, in testing I cant even say list directiories or mk directiories, I am totaly lost | 21:06 |
| kostkon | an3k, but hibernate is slow anyways compared to suspend | 21:07 |
| an3k | yes, my fault, sry. For me encryption is per default since the NSA stuff :) | 21:07 |
| kostkon | an3k, right :P | 21:07 |
| wylde | dadsminecraft: ls <--- list directories in the current directory | 21:08 |
| kostkon | an3k, then you need to research it a little bit or just forget about it. | 21:08 |
| an3k | thats true but i was looking for no energy draw. didn't knew hibernate is so much slower on linux than on windows. thanks to a ssd its very fast to boot ubuntu here ... on this Pentium M 1,73 GHz SingleCore without HT and 2 GB RAM :D | 21:08 |
| wylde | dadsminecraft: "ls --help" for a short list of options or "man ls" for the manpage :) | 21:08 |
| kostkon | an3k, generally it shouldn't be. but in your case it is yes. | 21:10 |
| nate7829 | dadsminecraft, if you're coming from windows, dir = ls, copy = cp, del = rm, rmdir = rm -r, and your best command is apropos; ie: apropos copy will give you all commands with copy in them | 21:10 |
| === soul is now known as Guest48558 | ||
| dadsminecraft | ok ok so when I do ls I get nothing, does that meen that account has no directories available? | 21:12 |
| nate7829 | try ls -a | 21:12 |
| nate7829 | you should at least see . and .. (. for current dir, .. for previous directory) | 21:13 |
| Chauchite | Hello! First time here :) | 21:13 |
| dadsminecraft | aw wtf, yes the -a option shows stuff, lol I had been thinking I was like using wrond commans for last hour | 21:14 |
| nate7829 | yeah, gotta read the man pages :) | 21:14 |

| nate7829 | or if nothing else google something like "ls command tutorial" if you need it broken down for you - most commands have tutorial pages on the net | 21:15 |
| jhutchins | dadsminecraft: Files beginning with . are hidden from the regular ls command. | 21:15 |
| jhutchins | dadsminecraft: Also by default in most file managers. | 21:15 |

| whowhat | nate7829: I think that's what I mean. | 21:25 |

| whowhat | wylde thanks!!!! | 21:26 |
| wylde | whowhat: np :) | 21:26 |
| an3k | whowhat: $0 is the filename of your script $1 is the first appended text, etc. | 21:26 |
| whowhat | an3k: amazing that did it! | 21:27 |
| nate7829 | whowhat, also you can capture all arguments using $@ | 21:27 |
| whowhat | nate7829 very cool! | 21:28 |

| an3k | while you would be screwed when you only have a windows notebook with you on a unknown island you can feel happy if its linux | 21:29 |
| an3k | pipe on windows. NOPE | 21:29 |
| wylde | whowhat: if you're looking to parse commandline options you'll want to look into "case" as well | 21:29 |
| an3k | quickly scripting something together. not on windows. well, its available but you have to manually install it | 21:30 |
| nate7829 | an3k, i actually put ubuntu 12.04 lts on my wife's windows 7 netbook haha and ubuntu works, but the nic sucks, had to setup network manager as a static ip | 21:30 |
| an3k | whowhat: if so check out a start-stop-script of eg. teamspeak 3 server. there you get an idea how case works | 21:30 |
| OerHeks | Csabi33669, open system sttings > Details > Default applications and change it there ? | 21:30 |
| OerHeks | oh i see no filebrowser option, weird | 21:31 |
| an3k | nate7829: had win7 on this one and the NB never got even warm. crappy gfx because crappy gfx card. system was ok. now with 13.04 its getting warm and sometimes hot (heavy load). additionally i have nice fancy gfx effects like blur ;) and the best thing at all: LINUX | 21:31 |
| wylde | Csabi33669: they may have a better idea in #lubuntu | 21:32 |
| nate7829 | Csabi33669, you need to modify xdg-open, standby, i'll google | 21:32 |
| Csabi33669 | OerHeks, im using lubuntu 12.04 | 21:32 |
| Csabi33669 | wylde, ok | 21:35 |
| nate7829 | Csabi33669, see this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1900454 | 21:35 |
| nate7829 | Csabi33669, I believe that will fix your issue | 21:36 |
| Csabi33669 | nate7829, i hope it too :) | 21:37 |
| nate7829 | an3k, win7 on her NB makes it get really warm, windows takes forever to do anything, but 12.04 LTS flies. only the NIC support is a bit lacking, but overall it works pretty darn well | 21:37 |
| Csabi33669 | nate7829, and thank you, | 21:37 |
| nate7829 | Csabi33669, you're welcome ;) | 21:37 |
| an3k | nate7829: here everything works fine. except the wifi indicator led which is only on after first suspend but all font short buttons (volume, play, prev, next & media) are recognized by ubuntu. windows only understood volume | 21:39 |
| an3k | no need to use the touchpad, cause the onscreen menus to popup and cause a lag ^^ | 21:39 |
| nate7829 | an3k, which model number do you have? I believe hers is a ASUS SeaShell series NB | 21:40 |
| an3k | i even can play counter-strike on here. wasn't possible with win7 bcause it said i have no 3D card. | 21:41 |

| chsados | hey guys, just switched from windows - I am looking for a nice GUI GPG package similar to GPG4Win - any suggestions? | 22:02 |
| chsados | also what IRC client you all using? | 22:02 |
| niel | guys I have really broken java and all my dev environments are pissed please help http://askubuntu.com/questions/344859/my-java-is-messed-up-cannot-install-anything-or-its-dependencies-ubuntu-13-04 | 22:02 |
| niel | like I am so lost right now been trying to fix for hours | 22:02 |
| Luyin | chsados: hexchat | 22:02 |
| chsados | ill check that out - have you tried irssi? | 22:02 |
| niel | here is the log http://pastebin.com/3SySD9z1 | 22:03 |
| nate7829 | chsados, xchat is a good GUI client in linux for IRC | 22:03 |
| niel | it is | 22:03 |
| chsados | oh nice hexchat is based off xchat? thats what i was using on windows | 22:03 |
| Luyin | chsados: yeah, but I use it only in the rare case of X being broken. hasn't happened for a while, so I don't use it ;) | 22:03 |
| sircutz | I wish to use bash or command shell for precision to change and search files on a usb. Computer has mounted and files are there in file manager but i want to do it manually. Any options? | 22:03 |
| Luyin | btw, hexchat is xchat-based. so far I couldn't find any great differences. | 22:03 |
| chsados | yea i think hexchat is what ill be going with | 22:04 |
| niel | anyone know where to get java help I can do anything with java right now its broken | 22:04 |
| sircutz | I just have problems navigating the files in bash! | 22:04 |
| Luyin | sircutz: cd, mv, cp, rm, mkdir, rmdir you might want to look at | 22:04 |
| chsados | #java or try www.bitcoin.com/r/java niel | 22:04 |
| chsados | www.reddit.com/r/java sorry lol | 22:04 |
| Luyin | sircutz: find might be useful too | 22:04 |
| UserError | chsados , practically the same thing | 22:04 |
| sircutz | Okay Luyin , what tells me a king of list or map of everything ? I thought it was du , did only tell me the current directry? | 22:05 |
| nate7829 | chsados, i've used irssi, and it's a solid client for the terminal, especially if you use it in conjunction with screen | 22:05 |
| sircutz | Then I have a target to shoot for. | 22:05 |
| chsados | eh id like to stay away from terminal | 22:05 |
| Luyin | sircutz: tried ls ? | 22:05 |
| === arayaq_ is now known as arayaq | ||
| Luyin | chsados: bad decision :( | 22:05 |
| nate7829 | chsados, yeah, i'd go with xchat then imo | 22:05 |
| chsados | hehe hey now, im just getting my feet wet with linux | 22:06 |
| sircutz | Yes , again I am stuck at the current working directory like pwd. I do not know at this point, but remember one that shoed everyting on the computer? | 22:06 |
| chsados | its always been a secondary OS i occasionally use - finally said byebye windows | 22:06 |
| nate7829 | chsados, a leap of faith that will payoff ;) | 22:06 |
| Luyin | chsados: then plunge yourself into the terminal, no better way to get to know your new OS than that :) | 22:06 |
| chsados | one more suggestion - what about a torrent client besides deluge - need really good rss implementation | 22:07 |
| sircutz | right now I am at root@partedmagic:/dev# | 22:07 |
| sircutz | ls | 22:07 |
| nate7829 | chsados, i'd recommend transmission, it's in ubuntu by default | 22:07 |
| chsados | ill check that out - i have seen it on roomates mac and always thought older version of utorrent were superior | 22:07 |
| nate7829 | chsados, also, i know you're looking for a GUI encryption program, but if you look at some tutorials using openssl, it's really easy and a good way to get your feet wet with the terminal and encryption | 22:08 |
| chsados | ill make note nate7829 thx | 22:08 |
| nate7829 | chsados, np | 22:08 |
| chsados | well here i go, last time ill be using windows | 22:08 |
| chsados | cya! | 22:08 |

| niel | ? | 22:18 |
| Dr_Willis | dtcrshr: vmware has settings for differnt types of network cards for the system to 'have' (i may be thinking of vbox). see what NIC the vm is set to use and try some of the others perhaps | 22:18 |

| niel | huh? | 22:19 |
| Dr_Willis | !vmware | 22:19 |
| ubottu | VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware | 22:19 |
| trism | niel: I wuld check software-properties-gtk before you do anything and make sure -updates is enabled (Recommended Updates) on the Updates tab | 22:19 |
| nate7829 | niel, typing apt-get -f in a terminal will fix broken packages as well | 22:19 |
| Dr_Willis | niel: run it and you will see. | 22:19 |
| dtcrshr | Dr_Willis: yeah, on my machine I use vbox, but this vmware its a vmsphere on a huge dell 2950 server with a bunch of other vms | 22:19 |
| Dr_Willis | dtcrshr: Might be worth asking in #vmware | 22:20 |
| dtcrshr | I mostly dont use ubuntu for production, but its a costumer ubuntu machine were allocating here temporarily | 22:20 |
| dtcrshr | vmware works fine... all the other oses have no trouble. I have 3 debian, 2 centos and a freebsd machine on this server with no hassle | 22:20 |
| nate7829 | niel, synaptic is the package manager, to open, type synaptic into the search box in unity (if you're running the unity DE) | 22:20 |
| dtcrshr | is there a way to set up the disabled to enabled as I saw on lshw ? | 22:21 |
| nate7829 | niel, if you're running gnome or something else, look under administration | 22:21 |

| dtcrshr | thanks for the attention anyhow | 22:23 |
| Dr_Willis | dtcrshr: ;) gotta love it | 22:23 |
| niel | nate7829, no such thing as synaptic | 22:23 |
| Dr_Willis | dtcrshr: theres some networking file that would let you rename it back to eth0 i recall | 22:23 |

Can anyone give a clue how to return this .gvfs folder? | 22:27 |
| nate7829 | niel, a held package means that a "hold" has been placed on a package, meaning it can't be updated, did you modify your sources.list file? | 22:28 |
| niel | never | 22:28 |
| nate7829 | niel, did you add additional repositories at all? | 22:28 |
| niel | I think like steam and such | 22:29 |

| javier_ | Hi all! Yesterday I did something wrong in ubuntu's terminal trying to fix the install of a packet and, when I noticed, I had installed a bunch of important packets. I noticed because I was missing things like terminal or ubuntu software center. I install all that stuff, but obviously, it was worst than that and it won't boot now. When I try to start it, says it goes to low-graphic mode, but it won't enter in that mode neither. I have no back up in deja vu | 22:31 |
| javier_ | (it takes always forever to make it an a lot of space). I now I'm a mess, but, someone can think about a way to fix it back? Thanks!!! | 22:31 |

| trism | niel: was the box already checked? | 22:33 |

| trism | niel: if not you need to run: sudo apt-get update; afterwards to refresh the cache | 22:33 |
| * niel hugs trism | 22:34 | |
| bytecounter | dsprc: does the same happen with apt-get? | 22:34 |
| nate7829 | javier_, have you tried booting in recovery mode from grub? | 22:35 |
| bytecounter | javier_: since your system does not want to boot in low grapic mode you have 2 options: 1) use single user mode 2) get a live cd, and the chroot into your system | 22:35 |
| dsprc | bytecounter: yup. doing the whole dpkg reconfig dance fails as well | 22:36 |
| bytecounter | nate7829: is recovery mode the same thing as single user mode? just curious? | 22:36 |
| javier_ | nate7829, I've tried that and it doesn't work | 22:36 |
| javier_ | (doesnt boot) | 22:36 |
| bytecounter | dsprc: ls -al /lib/init/upstart-job | 22:37 |
| javier_ | bytecounter, thanks, I would like to explore that... but, could you give me a short explanatino on what consist both of them? | 22:37 |
| nate7829 | bytecounter, I don't think so, I believe it runs with switches like noaspci and other stuff that allows it to boot with config issues | 22:37 |
| dsprc | bytecounter: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root | 22:38 |
| === p1l0t is now known as Guest58204 | ||
| nate7829 | javier_, i'd follow bytecounter's advice then and run a live cd, and google how to chroot (change root) from the CD into your HD so the commands you type will affect the installation of ubuntu on your HD instead of the CD you're booting from | 22:38 |
| nate7829 | anyone know if the live cd has a repair feature in it? | 22:39 |
| bytecounter | javier_: see what nate7829 said: bausically, single user mode and recovery mode are two "emergency" modes. google how to start them. try recovery mode first. then single user (since it gives you lots of power - to either fix your system or destroy it even more). the "chroot" way is more advanced and last resort. | 22:39 |
| nate7829 | i don't know if it does or not, i seem to recall something about it | 22:39 |
| nate7829 | javier_, take a look at this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 22:40 |
| wylde | javier_: you can boot and log into a tty though? ( ctrl+F2 to switch to tty2). As a last resort you could attempt this http://www.kingletas.com/2012/07/restore-ubuntu-to-the-default-settings-without-re-installing-it.html but make a backup first! | 22:40 |
| javier_ | bytecounter, nate7829 , thanks, I'll try those things :) | 22:40 |
| nate7829 | javier_, np good luck | 22:41 |
| dsprc | bytecounter: did 'chmod +x' on it. seems to be ok for now. thanks! | 22:41 |
| javier_ | nate7829, ah, I've used boot-repair before :) But rather to fix grub. The problem seems now with the display manager | 22:41 |
| nate7829 | javier_, hmm what did you do to break it? | 22:41 |
| javier_ | nate7829, yes, that's it. I meant an error that says display-manager can't start | 22:42 |
| wylde | javier_: you may have removed/damaged your display drivers. | 22:42 |
| javier_ | wylde, yes, that's it, said something that couldn't find the graphic driver neither | 22:43 |
| bytecounter | dsprc: dsprc :) i was just trying to find out wich one needed what rights | 22:43 |
| javier_ | guess that's why I see the message in low graphic mode | 22:43 |
| nate7829 | javier_, what type of computer are you using? | 22:43 |
| javier_ | but I can't get it to start in low graphic mode anyway | 22:43 |
| bytecounter | dsprc: since this seems to be the main cause: /etc/init.d/ssh: 33: exec: /lib/init/upstart-job: Permission denied | 22:43 |
| javier_ | nate7829, I'm in a laptop, ACER aspire without any special graphic card that uses no aditional drivers (no ATI no nVIDIA, just Intel) | 22:44 |
| wylde | javier_: you can swith to a tty like I said to access the commandline. Look into jockey-text to fix your display drivers perhaps? | 22:44 |
| bytecounter | !recover | 22:44 |
| ubottu | Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 22:44 |
| bytecounter | !recoverymode | 22:44 |
| wylde | javier_: ohhhh...nvm jockey then. :/ | 22:44 |
| bytecounter | javier_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode | 22:45 |
| Ari-Yang | javier_, if you just see intel... then that's all that's available for you :| what do you get when you type this in terminal? lspci | grep VGA | 22:45 |
| javier_ | wylde, nate7829 what do you mean jockey text? | 22:45 |
| daftykins | jockey is the additional drivers program, but since you say intel, jockey won't be of any use | 22:46 |
| wylde | javier_: it the commanline version of "Additional Drivers" (jockey-gtk etc.) | 22:46 |
| javier_ | Ari-Yang, oh, I'm in a different laptop, I haven't been able to boot mine, but I might enter in tty mode to check it | 22:46 |
| javier_ | ah, no, then there is nothing special about jockey then. But I guess that should make it easier | 22:46 |
| bytecounter | javier_: do you know what you did yesterday? | 22:47 |
| bytecounter | javier_: what did you do? which files did you edit/remove/create? | 22:47 |
| nate7829 | javier_, type sudo lspci | grep -i graphics into a terminal and note the type of hardware for your display driver (you either have to be on the computer in question or be able to connect to it via ssh) | 22:48 |
| javier_ | bytecounter, yes, and I'm surprised. A packet (a video player) didn't install properly. Then I runned the command "sudo apt-get install -f", to fix it. Someone, it told me he was going to uninstall a bunch of packet and I had already pressed "yes" without paying attention. Was totally my fault for too much confidence. Then, everything was uninstalled | 22:49 |
| daftykins | javier_: can you type the commands here that you ran then? | 22:50 |
| bytecounter | javier_: hm, as far is i know you can get some kind of list of the packages your removed - i am sure ther is an aptlog that tells yu what you remove | 22:50 |
| daftykins | just taking his history would be interesting too | 22:50 |
| javier_ | bytecounter, that's interesting, I could just reinstall all those | 22:51 |
| bytecounter | javier_: your history is stored in ~/.bash_history | 22:51 |
| javier_ | I see | 22:51 |
| bytecounter | javier_: that's waht i want to suggest - as i understood, your system worked before, so you just want to go back to the previous state | 22:51 |
| javier_ | bytecounter, so, maybe, enter the hard drive using a boot cd, then use chroot to reinstall what is written there? | 22:51 |
| javier_ | bytecounter, yes, that's it | 22:52 |
| bytecounter | the best thing to do that is to find the packets you removed and to reinstall them | 22:52 |
| === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob | ||
| nate7829 | javier_, you can also type sudo dpkg --get-selections to see a list of packages that are installed and de-installed | 22:52 |
| bytecounter | nate7829: well, he needs to find out which ones he removed | 22:52 |
| bytecounter | javier_: um, how far can you boot? | 22:53 |
| nate7829 | /var/log/apt/history.log can be accessed for that | 22:53 |
| bytecounter | javier_: did you try a virtual terminal? ctrl+alt+f for example | 22:53 |
| javier_ | bytecounter, i think I might be able to enter tty | 22:53 |
| bytecounter | javier_: if you can enter tty then there is no need for live cds and chroot and all that | 22:53 |
| javier_ | bytecounter, I remember there was an option to enter in terminal, which I didn't used because I wouldn't know what to do | 22:54 |
| javier_ | but I could try to enter there and eventually try what we are talking | 22:54 |
| javier_ | bytecounter, yes, I thought that, that would be great | 22:54 |
| javier_ | bytecounter, so, I will try that | 22:54 |
| javier_ | see what's in bash_history and try to reinstall things | 22:54 |
| javier_ | bytecounter, nate7829 I'm also thinking, what I uninstalled must be something basic everyone must have, and I wonder if there is some command to fix or repair this kind of things, like, basics | 22:55 |
| SN3 | damn, Juju is magic! | 22:55 |
| bytecounter | javier_: if you had removed something basic, your system would not boot at all | 22:56 |
| javier_ | bytecounter, you are right, not basic maybe | 22:56 |
| === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away | ||
| wylde | javier_: sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-intel libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core then | 22:57 |
| wylde | sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg perhaps? | 22:57 |
| bytecounter | javier_: the computer you broke, is it connected to internet? | 22:57 |
| nate7829 | javier_, take a look at /var/log/apt/ directory as well; just because you typed something on the command line, doesn't mean that is the only thing that was installed/uninstalled - but the log file for apt will have a history of any other dependencies that were removed automatically | 22:57 |
| javier_ | bytecounter, oh, that could be a problem. I don't know, I have to try. If I also uninstalled accidentally something more and can't connect, I will have to try the livecd way | 22:57 |
| bytecounter | javier_: is the computer you broke a laptop or a desktop computer? | 22:58 |
| bytecounter | javier_: usually, do you use wireless or cable to connect it to the internet? | 22:59 |
| javier_ | bytecounter, nate7829 I think what I should do is to see what I find in those directories, see if there is internet and try to reinstall what I find (hopefully). Otherwise, I will tell you what else if you are still here or google it a bit more with the new I know now. Sounds right? And thanks for your help :) | 23:00 |
| nate7829 | javier_, most times you can connect to the internet via the terminal if you plug your computer directly into a modem/router and use sudo dhcpcd [network interface] ie: sudo dhcpcd eth0 | 23:00 |
| nate7829 | after bringing it "up" using sudo ifconfig eth0 up that is | 23:00 |
| javier_ | nate7829, oh, that's very useful. Might use it... | 23:01 |
| nate7829 | anyways i gotta get running | 23:01 |
| bytecounter | javier_: i'll go to bed now anyway... i think nate7829 and wylde are taking good care of you :) - good luck | 23:01 |
| javier_ | nate7829, sure, thanks for your help | 23:01 |
| nate7829 | you're in good hands with bytecounter, javier_ | 23:01 |

| jrib | !9.10 | artcurmudgeon | 23:15 |
| ubottu | artcurmudgeon: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) was the eleventh release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 29th 2011, see http://ubottu.com/y/karmic for details. | 23:15 |
| artcurmudgeon | I have tried looking for .vnc directories and greping /var/log/auth.log and ps-ef |grep vnc | 23:15 |
| jrib | artcurmudgeon: that release is very very old and hasn't been supported for a long time | 23:16 |
| gordonjcp | artcurmudgeon: what do you mean "reverse engineer"? | 23:16 |
| artcurmudgeon | I know, I just had this dropped in my lap and I am beating a dent in my desk, and the person who built it is long gone. that is why I stuck my head in here | 23:16 |
| gordonjcp | and are you sure that means what you think it means? | 23:16 |
| gordonjcp | artcurmudgeon: what exactly are you trying to do? | 23:17 |
| artcurmudgeon | I have to figure out what applications are running on this, and possibly duplicate in on a 12.04lts box | 23:17 |
| gordonjcp | artcurmudgeon: ask the person that uses it? | 23:18 |
| artcurmudgeon | as I said the person who uses it and support it are long gone. | 23:18 |
| darkangel | is General 3.8 better then 3.2? | 23:18 |
| artcurmudgeon | and no docs to boot. | 23:18 |
| darkangel | Kernel not general sorry | 23:19 |
| gordonjcp | artcurmudgeon: then does it matter what it does? | 23:19 |
| jrib | artcurmudgeon: why do you care about this system? Put a supported release on it | 23:19 |
| wylde | artcurmudgeon: you can "dpkg -l | grep ii > installed-packages.txt" | 23:19 |
| artcurmudgeon | jrib: I dont, my boss does. HE is convinced that it was perfect | 23:19 |
| artcurmudgeon | wylde: thank you | 23:19 |
| jrib | artcurmudgeon: make an image of the drive, and upgrade to 10.04 and then 12.04 | 23:20 |
| wylde | that will list every installed package in a text file | 23:20 |
| gordonjcp | artcurmudgeon: perfect for what? | 23:20 |
| gordonjcp | artcurmudgeon: *someone* must know what it runs and why | 23:20 |
| jrib | the guy that left might :P | 23:20 |
| gordonjcp | artcurmudgeon: and if they don't, it's probably not really worth putting any effort into | 23:20 |
| artcurmudgeon | gordonjcp: rate of turn over was rather high | 23:20 |
| gordonjcp | artcurmudgeon: it's probably worth backing up /home if nothing else | 23:21 |
| gordonjcp | artcurmudgeon: what does your boss think it was perfect for? | 23:21 |
| artcurmudgeon | gordonjcp: it was a player a display. someone decided to update a security ssl and it caused it to appear on a screen and it would have to be the screen that is not accessible via vnc | 23:22 |
| artcurmudgeon | opps player for a display | 23:23 |

| bl4ckdu5t | How can I install Microsoft core fonts like Trebuchet, Maiandra, Papyrus, chiller, jokerman e.t.c on my Ubuntu | 23:35 |
| daftykins | bl4ckdu5t: via the package - think it used to be called msttcorefonts | 23:36 |
| daftykins | unless they're not in that | 23:36 |
| daftykins | in which case no idea | 23:36 |
| wylde | bl4ckdu5t: they are included with a number of other things in the ubuntu-restricted-extras package | 23:38 |
| bl4ckdu5t | wylde: How can I get to those? | 23:38 |
| Gaming4JC | Hello, I am trying to install Seeks (http://archive.sileht.net/seeks/) on Ubuntu Precise, but it says The following packages have unmet dependencies: seeks : Depends: libtokyocabinet9 (>= 1.4.47) but it is not installable | 23:39 |
| Gaming4JC | any ideas on where I can get this package? I see we have tokyocabinet, but not that libtokyocabinet9 specifically. | 23:39 |
| wylde | bl4ckdu5t: "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" that will install mscorefonts as well as flash and a few other things | 23:39 |
| wylde | !ubuntu-restricted-extras | 23:39 |
| ubottu | For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/media.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 23:39 |
| bl4ckdu5t | I just did a "apt-cache search" for msttcorefonts and I found the ttf-mscorefont-installer but I am doubting if it will have all the fonts I need b'cos I once read from an article on the web that it contains just few fonts | 23:39 |
| wylde | bl4ckdu5t: that may very well be the case. That package gets pulled in as well as others as dependencies of the ubuntu-restricted-extras package | 23:40 |
| daftykins | bl4ckdu5t: ah well, why would you need MS fonts anyway 0o | 23:43 |
| bl4ckdu5t | I really love Trebuchet and I will like to continue using it for some of my designs and write-ups | 23:44 |
| wylde | bl4ckdu5t: If I recall correctly that font is included. | 23:44 |
| bl4ckdu5t | ok then, thanks | 23:46 |
| Gaming4JC | bl4ckdu5t: Also wondering why you need MSFonts, likely the free alternatives will work nicely. Regardless this should help (bottom of post for related fonts particularly) http://www.unixmen.com/install-more-fonts-for-ubuntudebian/ | 23:46 |
| FastCode | I have a really weird problem with clinfo and optimus.when running without optirun it complains about libOpenCL.so.1, and when running with optirun it shows intel integrated graphics.what could be wrong? | 23:47 |
| * Gaming4JC is still waiting on a libtokyocabinet9 package | 23:47 | |
| bl4ckdu5t | ok I will check that out | 23:48 |
| FastCode | here's what i have installed and what clinfo says:http://paste.debian.net/39162/ | 23:50 |
| toddaaro | anyone around know what the deal is with ivy bridge integrated gpus? my computer is totally messed up because it has one and ubuntu insists on making it "primary" even though the bios has it as disabled as possible | 23:51 |
| FastCode | and I have reinstalled(with --purge) almost all packages I could think of. | 23:51 |
| toddaaro | halfway through boot it swaps over to the intel graphics even if a display isn't plugged into it | 23:51 |
| toddaaro | I've tried every permutation on drivers I can, blacklisting, etc. | 23:52 |
| toddaaro | I want the machine to act like the iGPU does not exist | 23:52 |
| FastCode | toddaaro: I'd try removing xserver-xorg-video-intel and see if anything changes | 23:52 |
| toddaaro | FastCode: ok, will that remove all the intel drivers? | 23:52 |
| FastCode | not the drivers, only userspace | 23:53 |
| FastCode | is it an optimus setup? | 23:53 |
| toddaaro | no, i7-3770k | 23:53 |
| FastCode | is it a laptop or not? | 23:53 |
| toddaaro | desktop, just trying to get the normal discrete amd card working | 23:53 |
| FastCode | then, this should do | 23:54 |
| toddaaro | ok I'll try it then, thanks | 23:54 |
| FastCode | make sure you have necessary amd drivers installed before doing this | 23:54 |
| FastCode | you may completely lose graphics and end up with a tty | 23:55 |
| FastCode | or worse | 23:55 |
| toddaaro | FastCode: do I need to rebuild the init image for this? | 23:55 |
| FastCode | I haven't had an amd card for a long time, not sure | 23:56 |
| FastCode | this is what happens when an intel and nvidia mess up. | 23:56 |
| karen_ | does anyone know what redbox-desktop is? | 23:56 |
| FastCode | anyone have any ideas about my opencl issue? http://paste.debian.net/39162/ | 23:57 |
| Gaming4JC | !package redbox-desktop | karen_ | 23:59 |
| Gaming4JC | !packages redbox-desktop | karen_ | 23:59 |
| Gaming4JC | ubottu fails | 23:59 |
| wilee-nilee | karen_, From a quick search it appears to be the netflix desktop http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/ehoover_compholio_netflix/precise/main/base/redbox-desktop | 23:59 |
| Gaming4JC | anyway karen_ it's in the repository "Redbox Desktop provides a convient tool that downloads and installs all of the components necessary to run Redbox under Wine." | 23:59 |
