rosemballsame here01:18
goodenessremember geocities?01:18
rosemballyes, of course01:18
goodenesswait, even better.  secret of monkey island?01:19
rosemballI used to have a .tk "domain" that pointed to my geocities01:19
goodenesslol nice01:19
goodenessso anywho, installing a extracted tar.gz?01:21
rosemballwhat extracted files do you have?01:21
rosemballprobably you will have to follow a INSTALL file or just make and make install01:22
goodenessyeah, did i mention i have not a clue.  so far i have followed these instructions01:23
goodenesshttps://github.com/alexrj/Slic3r/wiki/Running-Slic3r-from-git-on-GNU-Linux01:23
goodenessto really big error msgs, so they told me im doing it the hard way and ned to dl the tar.gz01:23
goodenessdid that, extracted it.01:23
rosemballlink to the tar?01:24
rosemballpls01:24
goodenessno files in slicer folder, there is a install file in the bin folder01:24
goodenessbut bear with me and dont laugh to hard01:24
goodenesswhat cmd to open it.  i assume i need to run it in terminal01:25
goodenessi have a do-install that says its a excutable01:25
rosemballplease post the link you used to download the tar file01:26
goodenessok one sec.01:26
goodenesshttp://dl.slic3r.org/linux/01:26
goodenessthis is my slicing software for my 3d printer01:27
rosemballgo to the bin directory01:31
rosemballthe one extracted01:31
rosemballtry ./do-install01:31
rosemballall in command line, of course01:31
goodenessok01:33
goodenessgoode@GoodeToshiba:~/Downloads/Slic3r/bin$ ./do-install01:34
goodenessFatal Error: Installer Error : The installer cannot find the application binaries to extract. at /home/goode/Downloads/Slic3r/lib/std/cavaexecscript/cpwxinstaller.pl line 157201:34
goodenessAborted (core dumped)01:34
rosemballstrange, I don't have that cavaexecscript in my std folder01:35
rosemballdid you get 32 or 64 bit?01:35
goodeness3201:35
rosemballme too01:35
goodenessstd folder?01:36
rosemballyes01:36
goodenessah01:36
rosemball/home/myusername/Downloads/Slic3r/lib/std01:36
goodenessyeah me either01:36
rosemballI only have Mozilla and XML folders01:36
goodeness:/01:36
goodenessme to01:36
rosemballmaybe it is an error in their installer01:36
goodenesswell thats not near as bad as the ridiculous errors i get liek 80% through a 30min install of the sudo get01:37
goodenessdo you get that error to?01:38
rosemballi didn't try to run the installer myself01:38
rosemballthere is anoter executable inside the bin folder, maybe try ./silc3r01:38
rosemballit is inside the bin folder01:38
rosemballhttp://manual.slic3r.org/GettingSlic3r.html#installing01:39
goodenessholy shit, you the man01:39
rosemballif you see in their manual, we are trying the correct steps01:39
rosemballit would be a good idea to read their wiki and manual, maybe you will not be able to use it fully without a proper installation01:40
goodenessok well, i jumped straight to building from source which for some reason seemed less confusing to me than this?  wtf right?01:40
goodenessman, im using the software daily, on windows01:40
rosemballokay01:41
rosemballjust FYI01:41
rosemballI downloaded the 64 bit package01:41
rosemballthere is no do-install01:41
rosemballjust the slic3r executable01:41
rosemballso maybe that is the correct way to run it for now, go to bin folder and do ./slic3r01:42
rosemballdid it work for you?01:42
goodenessi have a 3d printer and i need this and pronterface running to do it and i restored a old laptop out of my graveyard to be a print server for my printer for a craft show im going to so i didnt have to lug my tower and im trying to get more open source on everything.  i very much appreciate your help even if it was because im slow lol01:42
goodenessyes i got the setup screen!01:42
rosemballnice!01:43
goodenessive been using this on windows for like 3 months now01:43
rosemballso keep in mind that the build team maybe mixed things, the 64bit package is ok and the 32bit contains an old do-install that doesn't work01:43
goodenessusefull but im about to run raspberry Pi running ocotpi as the os and remote access only01:44
rosemballalso, everytime you want to execute an (guess what) executable, just use ./01:44
rosemballsome installers come with executables that don't have the execute attribute set, then you have to (before running it) do chmod +x filenamehere01:45
goodenessdammit, well it works so i will do what i do then. almost went over to fedora 19 because the claim they have 3d printing support built in but i know that means ramps and ardunio drivers installed lol01:45
rosemballthen ./filenamehere01:45
rosemballok01:45
rosemballlol01:45
rosemballI wish you good luck01:45
rosemballand keep learning linux, it is fun when you have the time to spare01:45
goodenessyeah thats what i was getting into with the other sudo stuff.  well man, thank you so much rosemball01:45
rosemballyou are welcome01:46
goodenesshopefully one day i can contribute myself.  once again thanks and i gotta go!01:46
rosemballok01:47
rosemballbye01:47
rosemballgood luck01:47
yeyemanhow can I turn off firefox "recovering windows and tabs"?02:14
yeyemanI have the setting 'when firefox starts.. show home page'02:15
yeyemanbut every time after reboot I get the message Well this is embarrasing.02:15
rosemballwhich version?02:15
rosemballof firefox02:15
yeyeman23.002:16
rosemballwell, I'm getting a lot of these in my work computer too02:16
rosemballtry this02:16
rosemballopen ffox, type about:config02:16
rosemballaccept the warning02:16
rosemballsearch for sessionstore02:16
rosemballthere must be something related to crash or resume02:17
rosemballif it is set to true, double click it to set to false02:17
rosemballrestart firefox, see if the error persists02:17
yeyemanok lets see now!02:20
yeyemanhow can I completely turn off the session saving stuff?02:28
yeyemanIt's one thing to open thunderbird and pidgin when I log in02:28
yeyemanbut it's also messing with stuff like geany colorschemes02:28
yeyemanand firefox browsing history02:29
yeyemanthat's ultra undesireable02:29
yeyemanand of course "session and startup" has no hints about this02:32

xubuntu409ok now installing xubuntu...........should i get excited yet??03:37
Unit193Depends, do these things excite you?03:39
xubuntu409yeah03:40
xubuntu409surprised this was an option during instal03:42
xubuntu409actually excited to get back in ubuntu.  In a windows admin training course and I miss the hell out of full time linux03:42
Unit193You can always (install and) play frozen bubble while you wait.03:43
xubuntu409will do03:45

andreligneAnyone using Gala as WM with XFCE who knows how to change the WM-theme? :)13:55
noiroIs there a way to check if the harddrive is working properly?15:22
GridCube!fsck15:23
ubottufsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot15:23
noiroata3.00 failed command read fpdma queued happens after i put in an sd card.even after pulling it out, restarts return all kinds of errors15:23
geniiDoesn't sound hopeful.15:24
noiroI'm just not sure what the sd card slot would have to do with the HDD15:24
noiroI've got it booted into a bootCD atm15:25
geniiI'd probably check if SMART monitoring is turned on in BIOS and see if it tells you something pre-boot.15:26
genii( Usually to the effect of: "Your hard drive is reporting errors, you may want to backup your data and replace the drive" )15:27
noiroYerp, it failed >.<15:33
geniiUnfortunate, but now at least you know the cause. I'd probably yank it out, put another and install to that, then try hook the original up with an external case and do some data recovery on it.15:35

dre_hey gys20:15
dre_hello20:15
dre_can someone help me with a script20:40
knome!someone | dre_20:41
ubottudre_: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll.20:41
dre_ubottu i need help a script20:43
ubottudre_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)20:43
knomedre_, please start with telling us some details - what's the problem?20:44
dre_ok20:44
dre_i have a tvheadend backend for my tv clients i found a script to make it auto off when not inuse by clients but i dont know how to make it work20:45
dre_i hve tried but still not working20:46
dre_i am a nobe to this20:46
dre_i know a little about linux20:47
dre_this is the link to the script20:48
dre_https://tvheadend.org/boards/4/topics/4782?page=1&r=934920:48
knomei would ask the forum first, since they have experiences with that particular script20:49
dre_i did but no one answered20:49
dre_how to check if a script is working on ubuntu20:50
knomeforums/boards aren't live, it can take some days to get an answer20:50
dre_ok20:50
bgardnerAccording to their website, they also host the #hts channel here.  Try there and see if they are active.20:50
bgardnerdre_, that was for you.20:51
dre_i did but no one answer20:51
knome(also try being more exact; "still not working" isn't helpful with debugging)20:51
dre_i did what the direction said to do but it didnt turn off the server20:52
dre_how to debug a script20:52
xubuntu672hello, Im on Fedora and I want to boot xubuntu from a usb drive, dd and usb-creator doesn't work for me20:52
knomedre_, do you know how to turn the server off manually, without the script?20:53
dre_yes20:53
knomeif the script doesn't show an error message when it tries to shut off the server, i'd see if the scripts command to turn off the server is correct20:54
xubuntu672anyone successfully booted xubuntu from usb ?20:54
dre_xbuntu672 use unetbootin to make a bootable ubuntu live usb drive20:55
knomexubuntu672, have you checked if the ISO you have downloaded matches the MD5 sums?20:55
xubuntu672knome: I tried. but no20:56
knomexubuntu672, it doesn't match? then your ISO file is faulty; download again20:56
xubuntu672knome: wait i'll md5 check20:57
knomexubuntu672, usb-creator has worked for me and others have confirmed that dd works as well20:57
knomeUnit193, do you have some insight?20:57
Unit193knome: Wut?20:57
knomeUnit193, see xubuntu672's problem20:58
Maple__xubuntu672, what exactly is wrong?20:58
Unit193(I was.)20:58
Maple__you might not boot into it automatically...20:58
Maple__try pressing F12 when starting up20:58
Maple__and choose the USB device20:58
knometo be more generic, check is USB is bootable and if it is, make sure it's on top of the booting priority list in BIOS, or if not, see how you can specifically change the booting order for one boot20:59
Unit193xubuntu672: Alright, so to start, md5sum, then fdisk -l xubuntu-whatever-theiso-is.iso  and see if it contains a partition.  You trying a newer version I'd assume?20:59
xubuntu672Maple__: I downloaded the torrent, tried dd and unetbootin but my usb drive don't boot20:59
Maple__xubuntu672, yeah21:00
Unit193Aha, well then yeah, I'd check the BIOS and see if it supports it, if not, plop.21:00
Maple__F12 should show bootable devices21:00
knomebut yeah, first check MD5 sums and so.21:00
Maple__on your BIOS21:00
knomeMaple__, or any other abitrary key, depending on the BIOS21:00
knomearbitrary too21:00
Unit193knome: Don't need to with torrent.21:00
Maple__y21:00
knomeUnit193, i suppose it depends if the client has error detection21:01
xubuntu672as Unit193 said it a torrent it should be okay21:01
xubuntu672it's *21:02
Unit193knome: If it doesn't, then it doesn't properly support the protocol and should be removed from earth. :D21:02
knome;)=21:02
xubuntu672Maple__: im make sure to boot from usb. but no success.21:03
xubuntu672Maple__: I have trouble running usb-creator on Fedora, the application is for ubuntu21:04
Unit193xubuntu672: So, not UEFI, and it's booted others fine?21:04
xubuntu672Unit193: I booted arch before21:05
xubuntu672Unit193: with dd21:05
Unit193Of course.  Still haven't seen which version you're goign for, though.21:06
xubuntu672Unit193: which version of what ?21:07
Unit193Xubuntu, Ubuntu added hybrid not too long ago.21:07
xubuntu672Unit193: this iso http://torrent.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/raring/release/desktop/xubuntu-13.04-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent21:09
Unit193Welp, that should be the exact one you're looking for, supporting hybrid/dd of course.21:11
xubuntu672im not making progress21:32
xubuntu672I really want to try xubuntu21:33
Unit193xubuntu672: Well, other options are, do you have virtualbox?  And, does Fedora have grml-rescueboot in the repos?21:34
xubuntu672Unit193: what is grml-rescueboot ?21:35
Unit193It takes ISOs in /boot/grml/ and adds them to the grub menu.21:35
xubuntu672Unit193: Im looking for it21:36
eimishi. why should I use xubuntu if can install ubuntu base system and then just install xfce4-goodies package? yes I undestand xubuntu is xfce outta the box.21:36
Unit193Xubuntu isn't Xfce right out of the box, it has different application choices, themes, and configuration.21:37
xubuntu672Unit193: there is no grml-rescueboot on the repos21:38
eimisok, thanks. is xubuntu faster than ubuntu base + xfce?21:38
Unit193xubuntu672: Pity.  So when you dd the image, what's the fdisk output on it?21:38
xubuntu672Unit193: I'll do it again21:39
Unit193eimis: Also, Xfce by itself may be lighter, but not as nice or easy to use, I'd say.21:40
Unit193You can try core+xubuntu-desktop, but that doesn't quite get the same thing as if you were to install from livecd.21:40
Unit193xubuntu672: Everything looks good from here, I don't see why it shouldn't be working.  I'm guessing you know to dd it to /dev/sdb not /dev/sdb1 too.21:41
xubuntu672Unit193: yep21:41
eimisATM I'm running ubuntu core + xfce4-goodies and it's great. I've got a noob question that's been annoying me for a while. How do I direct my messages to a specifi user? "UserName: blah blah"21:45
Unit193In IRC? ei<tab> is what I use.21:46
Unit193!tab21:46
ubottuYou can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.21:46
eimisUnit193, oh like this. Thanks!21:47
xubuntu267im back22:07

xubuntu267Unit193, its working now :>22:19
Unit193Woo! \o/   What fixed it anywho?22:19
xubuntu267Unit193, no idea, I just formatted and did the dd again22:20
eimisIs there a convenient way to select default pulseaudio device besides doing pacmd set-default-sink xxxxxxxx?22:20
Unit193eimis: Pavucontrol doesn't take care of it?  I think I use padevchooser for that though.22:21
eimisUnit193: I don't have any of those installed, apparently. Thanks, will try Pavucontrol.22:23
Unit193What version are you on?  pavucontrol was default, I'm sure.22:24
eimisUnit193: I'm on ubuntu 13.04 base + xfce4. I built this system from the minimal iso so I don't have some "default" packages. I've been living for a few years with this annoyance: let's say I copy some text from a window, close it and then my clipboard is empty. how do I disable this feature?22:27
Unit193Install/run a (basic) clipboard manager.22:28
xubuntu267Unit193, Im getting "failed to execute default terminal emulator, I/O error" :/22:36
xubuntu267when trying to open the terminal22:36

Unit193Erm, have enough ram?22:40
xubuntu2673 gb22:40
xubuntu267how can I see the logs ?22:41
xubuntu267Unit193, 16% ram in use22:42
bekksxubuntu267: ctrl+f1 and login as user, run dmesg22:42

xubuntu267bekks, yeah there is some read errors22:46
xubuntu267SQUASHFS22:47
Unit193So only the compressed filesystem, alrighty. >_<22:48
xubuntu267Is it something to do with the flash drive ?22:49
Unit193That'd be my thought, but I'll deffer to bekks because it'd be a good idea.22:52
