| toddaaro | FastCode: ok, removing that didn't change much, the system detects storage devices, and then the first thing it does as part of "loading essential drivers" swaps the output over to the intel gpu | 00:00 |

| Gaming4JC | karen_: http://www.webupd8.org/2013/01/watch-lovefilm-and-redbox-videos-in.html | 00:01 |
| Gaming4JC | seems like Netflix like wilee said. | 00:01 |
| toddaaro | FastCode: looking at the logs it does the swapover before the root filesystem is mounted, so it seems like what I need to fix is inside the kernel in the init image | 00:01 |
| FastCode | in recent versions Xorg doesn't use a config file for intel graphics and you see what happens | 00:01 |
| blackangelofdebt | I'm an idiot and i can't install java | 00:01 |
| blackangelofdebt | please help | 00:01 |
| FastCode | try intel nomodset | 00:01 |
| daftykins | blackangelofdebt: there's plenty of guides online | 00:02 |
| Gaming4JC | blackangelofdebt: openjdk or sun-jdk? | 00:02 |
| daftykins | *oracle | 00:02 |
| Gaming4JC | imo you should give OpenJDK a shot. It's not half bad. | 00:02 |
| FastCode | apt-get install openjdk-7-jre | 00:02 |
| blackangelofdebt | anything | 00:02 |
| Gaming4JC | :) | 00:02 |
| Gaming4JC | that ^^ | 00:02 |
| Gaming4JC | Accessories >> Terminal >> sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre (or use Synaptic Package Manager/Ubuntu Software Center) | 00:03 |
| Gaming4JC | like fastcode said | 00:03 |
| === aaron778 is now known as aaronmaiden | ||
| toddaaro | FastCode: ah! that did something | 00:03 |
| === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang | ||
| FastCode | so you have graphics, now? | 00:04 |
| toddaaro | FastCode: I don't seem to have graphics, but it boots displaying the text on the discrete gpu's monitors | 00:04 |
| FastCode | or is it just a tty? | 00:04 |
| blackangelofdebt | thanks | 00:04 |
| blackangelofdebt | installing synaptic package manager | 00:05 |
| toddaaro | FastCode: x just blackscreened when I tried starting it, swapping to tty doesn't work | 00:05 |
| Gaming4JC | blackangelofdebt: ok... just make sure you install the "openjdk-7-jre" package. If you want to use it in the browser I would also recomend "icedtea-plugin" | 00:06 |
| Gaming4JC | e.g. for Yahoo Games | 00:06 |
| FastCode | toddaaro: do you have opensource or proprietary drivers installed? | 00:06 |
| blackangelofdebt | i need to rip from youtube | 00:06 |
| Gaming4JC | blackangelofdebt: don't need java for that | 00:06 |
| daftykins | can't help you there then. | 00:06 |
| toddaaro | FastCode: open source right now | 00:06 |
| blackangelofdebt | whoops | 00:07 |
| FastCode | blackangelofdebt: and icedtea-web | 00:07 |
| Gaming4JC | blackangelofdebt: try minitube or youtube-dl ;) | 00:07 |
| blackangelofdebt | what do i need? | 00:07 |
| blackangelofdebt | thx | 00:07 |
| blackangelofdebt | what application do i open minitube with? | 00:08 |
| toddaaro | FastCode: oh I think this is just a stale xorg from the proprietary driver | 00:09 |
| FastCode | toddaaro: ok, here to be dragons. every time you try a configuration the whole thing may freeze and never come back.and I don't think I can be of any more help.try https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI | 00:09 |

| daftykins | i would believe. | 00:11 |
| blackangelofdebt | minitube rips? It doesnt claim to | 00:11 |
| suarez7 | i dont undesrtand this part If your disk already contains an EFI partition (eg if your computer had Windows8 preinstalled), it can be used for Ubuntu too. Do not format it. It is strongly recommended to have only 1 EFI partition per disk. | 00:12 |

| Gaming4JC | for educational use of course :) | 00:13 |
| suarez7 | yes, but i read that is possible install with uefi and secureboot enable | 00:13 |

| suarez7 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI, Creating an EFI partition | 00:19 |
| FastCode | mandi628: it won't fix anything. it just helps identify the problem | 00:19 |
| mandi628 | FastCode: k. thx. i tried to install pidgin from the terminal and was prompted to manually install a bunch of configs, so that could be the problem. it's working on them now | 00:19 |
| FastCode | mandi628: you may also want to try lsmod|grep hid | 00:19 |
| suarez7 | If your disk already contains an EFI partition (eg if your computer had Windows8 preinstalled), it can be used for Ubuntu too. | 00:20 |

| FastCode | Gaming4JC: did you see my paste? | 00:24 |
| Gaming4JC | checking it now.. | 00:24 |
| bazhang | FastCode, try #opencl | 00:26 |
| FastCode | bazhang: freenode? | 00:26 |
| bazhang | FastCode, yep | 00:27 |
| FastCode | bazhang: thanx | 00:27 |
| Gaming4JC | FastCode: Not sure on that particular error. Several results on DuckDuckGo. From: "A quick workaround would be to create a symlink libOpenCL.so -> libOpenCL.so.1." to "Are you installing the 32bit version". | 00:27 |
| Gaming4JC | not sure if that's overly helpful though ;) | 00:27 |
| Gaming4JC | symlink likely would work though assuming your .so exists. | 00:28 |

| vacho | I want to setup a simple ubuntu LAMP server on amazon, anyone have experience with that?? | 00:31 |
| Gaming4JC | all you need to do is Terminal >> apt-get install youtube-dl >> youtube-dl (video url here) >>> ??? profit. | 00:31 |
| Gaming4JC | :) | 00:31 |
| FastCode | I use youtube-dl everyday.Its really nice. | 00:31 |

| Gaming4JC | FastCode: not worth mining anymore, the difficulty is way to high thanks to ASIC... :( | 00:35 |
| daftykins | linodes are expensive for what you get | 00:35 |
| FastCode | where I live, electricity is dirt cheap. | 00:36 |
| daftykins | FastCode: how much per kWh? | 00:36 |
| Gaming4JC | FastCode: well, assuming you have dirt cheap electricity and you use pooled mining, in a month or so you might have 0.1 | 00:36 |
| FastCode | don't know in USDs but i guess its like 1/20 comparing to us | 00:37 |
| FastCode | US* | 00:37 |
| FastCode | even with GPUs? | 00:37 |
| daftykins | FastCode: i'm not in the US :( what's your currency? | 00:38 |
| FastCode | IRR | 00:38 |
| honestly | GPUs are expensive | 00:38 |
| honestly | if you have old high-end ATI GPUs just lying around I guess you could mine with them | 00:39 |
| FastCode | my laptop came with one | 00:39 |
| daftykins | it won't be good, heh | 00:39 |
| mandi628 | FastCode: updating the configs through the terminal did the trick. Thx! | 00:39 |

| FastCode | run command in terminal | 00:44 |

| gregor3005 | hi, i used the latest firefox and flash plugin. here the sound does not work. with chrome it works without any problem. can anybody give me a hint | 00:49 |
| michaelwang32 | in windows you can install software without a password | 00:49 |
| saiarcot895 | michaelwang32: for starters, security | 00:49 |
| FastCode | allow everyone to run apt-get and dpkg in sudoers | 00:49 |
| saiarcot895 | michaelwang32: actually, you can't (unless you install to the local user only) | 00:49 |
| michaelwang32 | cant i find a way to remove the admin password | 00:49 |
| daftykins | there *IS* no password | 00:50 |
| michaelwang32 | how can i share a file with you guys? | 00:50 |
| Tex_Nick | michaelwang32: you might search for hp on ... http://searchirc.com/ | 00:50 |
| michaelwang32 | i use linux mint | 00:50 |
| Gaming4JC | michaelwang32: aMule? (it's old but steady as she goes the old gal) | 00:50 |
| Gaming4JC | works on Linux Mint too | 00:50 |
| Gaming4JC | :) | 00:50 |
| FastCode | michaelwang32: there are like a million file sharing sites on the net. try dropbox or ubuntu one or torrent | 00:51 |
| michaelwang32 | ok | 00:51 |
| Gaming4JC | or if it's just text, you might try pastebin.com | 00:51 |
| FastCode | or screencloud if it's a picture | 00:51 |
| an3k | dropbox restricted access to some of my files. i prefer rapidshare | 00:51 |
| Gaming4JC | or setup your own owncloud instance? | 00:52 |
| Gaming4JC | SparkleShare? | 00:52 |
| michaelwang32 | why is linux so hard to install | 00:52 |
| daftykins | it's not | 00:52 |
| an3k | it isnt | 00:52 |
| Gaming4JC | not too hard, especially linux mint. You should try Arch | 00:52 |
| Gaming4JC | D: | 00:52 |
| michaelwang32 | like why do i need a password to install software | 00:52 |
| an3k | easier than windows because you dont need to enter a serial :D | 00:52 |
| FastCode | I hate ownCloud, it f*cks up its database if system crashes | 00:52 |
| Gaming4JC | FastCode: really?! I never tried ownCloud yet, thanks for the heads up :P | 00:52 |
| IdleOne | FastCode: please no swearing or st*ring out | 00:53 |
| an3k | michaelwang32: to install ubuntu or software on ubuntu? | 00:53 |
| FastCode | it deserves it | 00:53 |
| michaelwang32 | can i type startx to boot | 00:53 |
| michaelwang32 | in ubuntu | 00:53 |

| gregor3005 | hi, i used the latest firefox and flash plugin. here the sound does not work. with chrome it works without any problem. can anybody give me a hint | 00:54 |
| ter2 | michaelwang32: if you are at a command prompt and logged in and x is not up, chances are something is wrong. if nothing is wrong and you're there on purpose, then startx should work | 00:55 |
| Gaming4JC | michaelwang32: you shouldn't have to type anything to start ubuntu, other than username and password. | 00:55 |
| Gaming4JC | michaelwang32: you may also want to try youtube, many tutorials there | 00:55 |
| michaelwang32 | ok | 00:55 |
| Gaming4JC | No why on earth "python-software-properties" is not installed by default in #ubuntu-server I will never understand. | 00:56 |
| michaelwang32 | but i dont want a password to login to ubuntu | 00:56 |
| Gaming4JC | now* | 00:56 |
| Gaming4JC | michaelwang32: It's configurable under system settings once you get it installed. | 00:56 |
| michaelwang32 | i want to remove my password on ubuntu/linux mint | 00:57 |
| michaelwang32 | because i am fixing a computer for my very old parents | 00:57 |
| Gaming4JC | likely they will not need to install anything | 00:57 |
| Gaming4JC | so just disable the password from login and screen sleep | 00:57 |
| Gaming4JC | then you'll be fine | 00:57 |
| michaelwang32 | i want to install software without password | 00:58 |
| FastCode | and set something like 123456789 just in case they need to enter a password | 00:58 |
| Gaming4JC | michaelwang32: doing so allows anyone (even remote attackers) to happily install malware on your box | 00:59 |
| michaelwang32 | ok | 00:59 |
| Gaming4JC | so not suggested. | 00:59 |
| daftykins | michaelwang32: no offence but if you can't use it, how are you going to support it? | 00:59 |
| michaelwang32 | but sometimes my autusic student will go crazy | 00:59 |
| michaelwang32 | over a password | 00:59 |
| Tex_Nick | michaelwang32: you can do that from system settings/user accounts & system settings/brightness and lock | 01:00 |
| Gaming4JC | michaelwang32: Tell them to watch wanda in the taskbar, it's quite calming once you enable her... :P | 01:00 |

| reisio | lovelymortal: well then, it should be available via apt-get later on, too | 01:19 |
| lovelymortal | i know it will but i run a wireless connection from my laptop. the package i need is the firmware for my wireless card. if i can just dpkg it later i wont have to go the lo route | 01:20 |

| daftykins | my stickmen are the finest in the business! | 01:22 |

| lovelymortal | firmware-b43-installer | 01:23 |
| lovelymortal | is what i need | 01:23 |
| craigbass1976 | daftykins, I was actually able to do some Bob Ross caliber stuff in paint on Windows 3.1... | 01:23 |
| daftykins | lovelymortal: just download the .deb ? | 01:23 |
| wylde | lovelymortal: " apt-get download packagename" will download the package to the current directory | 01:23 |
| mrrcp | seventhsamuari: what is the service? | 01:23 |
| craigbass1976 | daftykins, tough with 256 colors though | 01:23 |
| mrrcp | was is a install package from the service site or another method | 01:24 |
| daftykins | craigbass1976: do you still have it? | 01:24 |

| craigbass1976 | daftykins, A couple working original NES too... I'm off topic though. What about the paint app? | 01:26 |
| daftykins | :D | 01:27 |
| reisio | lovelymortal: you might be after dh_make, but as someone said, just grab the .deb while you're online | 01:27 |
| seventhsamuari | I am pretty new so I dont know how to check for errors but i connected through the connections in the task bar | 01:27 |
| reisio | lovelymortal: apt-get should have a command to simply fetch .deb's, too | 01:27 |
| daftykins | craigbass1976: hrmm not sure sorry :< i've heard of inkscape but i think that's not too simple | 01:27 |

| legend123 | Hi there. I want to go for a lightweight linux distro that runs smoothly on my old computer but yet plays multimedia content on it. So should i go for ubuntu 13.04? | 02:15 |
| Dr|Craig | dsl | 02:17 |
| Dr|Craig | or puppy linux | 02:17 |
| legend123 | i see | 02:17 |
| Dr|Craig | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_Linux_distribution | 02:17 |
| HunterNorth | legend123: Probably not. Ubuntu can be a bit heavy on system resources, Unity especially. I'd suggest something like xbuntu. | 02:17 |
| Tex_Nick | you might specify your PC/hardware | 02:18 |
| === eqpvukreroiqmuek is now known as xsknywsfujejuctz | ||
| === xsknywsfujejuctz is now known as sepero | ||
| Tex_Nick | legend123 ^ | 02:19 |
| Tex_Nick | legend123: that would give people a better understanding of the system capabilities | 02:20 |
| legend123 | 1.8 GHz pentium processor, 20 gb hard disk, 1 gb ram. | 02:21 |
| Dr|Craig | CPU, ram HDD | 02:21 |
| legend123 | *pentium 4 processor | 02:21 |
| Dr|Craig | it could handle ubuntu 12.04 LTS | 02:21 |
| rodhash | Guys any idea why NetworkManager keeps updating my resolv.conf?? I've installed 2 VMs with KVM but only one of them has this trouble | 02:22 |
| arctanx | rodhash: it just does that. If you have a static config in interfaces use the dns-nameservers attribute to make sure things stay in resolv.conf | 02:24 |
| legend123 | Dr|Craig: Can i try linux mint? I have heard many good things about it. | 02:24 |
| Dr|Craig | personally I use linux mint | 02:24 |
| Radvendii | I'm having problems with starting up Ubuntu on my macbook pro, is there a more appropriate channel to pose my problem? | 02:24 |
| legend123 | And does puppy linux allows playing restricted media content? | 02:24 |
| Dr|Craig | what do you use as an OS now? | 02:24 |
| Dr|Craig | I have a MPB whats your issue | 02:25 |
| Dr|Craig | R^ | 02:25 |
| Dr|Craig | Radvendii^ | 02:25 |
| Radvendii | I installed ubuntu on a second partition, and when I try to boot into it several things go wrong | 02:25 |
| Radvendii | 1) it sometimes just freezes at the purple screen (of death :P) | 02:25 |
| Tex_Nick | legend123: a live CD would give you a good & quick idea of how different distros will perform :) | 02:25 |
| Radvendii | 2) It loads, but then the gui is replaced by a static-y image | 02:26 |
| Dr|Craig | did you isntall refind | 02:26 |
| Radvendii | that moves around when I move the mosue | 02:26 |
| Radvendii | mouse* | 02:26 |
| AcidRain2012 | that was odd. just had a kernel panic unable to sync | 02:26 |
| rodhash | arctanx, do you mean including the nameservers in the resolv.conf manually? I did that, but every reboot the NM changes it | 02:26 |
| AcidRain2012 | that reminded me of the bluescreen of death | 02:26 |
| Radvendii | I installed rEFIt | 02:26 |
| Dr|Craig | ah | 02:26 |
| Tex_Nick | legend123: live USB would be better | 02:26 |
| Dr|Craig | http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/ | 02:26 |
| Radvendii | is it better? | 02:26 |
| Dr|Craig | it is updated so it has more support for it | 02:27 |
| Radvendii | ah. | 02:27 |
| Radvendii | I'll try that, thanks. | 02:27 |
| Dr|Craig | yep np | 02:27 |
| arctanx | rodhash: Nope. Either set your DNS server in your NM network configuration, or if you have another interface configured in /etc/network/interfaces, put your manual DNS entry in /etc/network/interfaces using "dns-nameserver" instead of in /etc/resolv.conf, where it will get clobbered by NM | 02:27 |
| Radvendii | I tried it before, but someone said I would need the "gtksomethingorother" of rEFIt | 02:27 |
| Radvendii | So I switched | 02:27 |
| Radvendii | something to fix the partition tables i think | 02:27 |
| arctanx | rodhash: "dns-nameservers" sorry | 02:27 |
| Radvendii | is that not needed? | 02:27 |
| === tristan_ is now known as t123tan | ||
| Radvendii | Dr|Craig: | 02:28 |
| Dr|Craig | that as also another issue, when I installed it I custom partition setup and installed grub on the ubuntu install | 02:29 |
| Radvendii | How would I check if I did that? | 02:29 |
| Radvendii | i think i didn't. because the Grub startup appears first in the rEFIt menu, whereas in screenshots I've seen it's always second | 02:30 |
| === jack is now known as Guest74404 | ||
| Dr|Craig | you used 13.10 | 02:30 |
| Radvendii | ah | 02:31 |
| Radvendii | okay | 02:31 |
| Dr|Craig | or 13.04* | 02:31 |
| Tex_Nick | legend123: if you're thinking about using mint ... the mint help channel is on the irc.spotchat.org server | 02:31 |
| Dr|Craig | sorry | 02:31 |
| Radvendii | yeah | 02:31 |
| Radvendii | 13.04 | 02:31 |
| Radvendii | is it still installed in the ubuntu partition? | 02:31 |
| Radvendii | I don't need to worry abou thtat? | 02:31 |
| Dr|Craig | yah you dont | 02:31 |

| FastCode | @everyone talking about disk sizes:There are 750MB,800MB CDs out there. | 03:25 |
| fragmer | Greetings. I need some help. I seem to be unable to upgrade a package to the latest version with aptitude. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.3 via ssh (headless server). | 03:25 |
| fragmer | The package in question is "znc", and I tried "apt-get upgrade" and "apt-get dist-upgrade" commands already. My installed version is 0.206-1, but I see that a newer one is available (1.0-2): http://paste.ubuntu.com/6099933/ | 03:25 |
| fragmer | Is there a way to force this newer version to be installed/upgraded? | 03:26 |
| FastCode | apt-get -f install znc=1.0-2 | 03:26 |
| ddboline | quit | 03:26 |
| ddboline | exit | 03:26 |

| jgk | :D | 03:44 |
| jgk | jk | 03:44 |

| MrMonkey31 | could I get installer help/general OS wisdom here? I'm ex-windows | 03:49 |
| FastCode | MrMonkey31: yes, thats why 'here' exists. | 03:50 |
| fragmer | FastCode, your suggestion has indeed worked. Thank you very much. Cheers. | 03:50 |
| FastCode | fragmer: you're welcome. | 03:51 |
| AcidRain2012 | yall know what we need? to make this ubuntu related: library that can be plugged into gimp. we need: reflective colors ;) so i can see my room while i program from the transparent gedit window | 03:51 |
| MrMonkey31 | thx fastcode! basically I want to know what it did to wind up with 3 partitions in the end (or the beginning since it's an installation I'm talking about here). I think I chose 'something else' aka customized partitions 1st, then I changed my mind and went back to default, where I must have chosen about 1/2 of my ssd to use for ubuntu, towards the end. it made a swap partition which I got from google, but there's 2 overly small partitions | 03:52 |
| Sengkuni | Thats named: Sharing. | 03:52 |
| FastCode | AcidRain2012: cool idea, but you should probably ask some flat panel manufacturer for that. | 03:52 |
| FastCode | MrMonkey31: how small are we talking? | 03:53 |
| MrMonkey31 | there's a 12.3 gig that I recognize as my official partition, and an 8.1 gig that's unexplained. it has most but not all the folders in the root as the 12 giger does, including and empty /home | 03:54 |
| FastCode | 1st can be root, second can be boot or home, and third is the swap | 03:54 |
| AcidRain2012 | FastCode, yeah i know :). i was just thinking. if GIMP has the option to select a reflective color, then the TV makers made it so when a reflective color was detected it would mirror the background, that would be dope | 03:55 |
| FastCode | 1st is home, second is root | 03:55 |
| MrMonkey31 | FastCode, if only it were that simple. I think the installer automatically chose a scheme of some sort or other. I actually wanted the swap to not have its own separate partition, but having a 12 and an 8 instead of a 20 for my use seems so far out of left field so to speak... | 03:55 |
| MrMonkey31 | so my question is just, do we know the installer as offering such schemes, or is it a fluke | 03:56 |
| FastCode | you can remove the swap partition any time and use the space for whatever you want | 03:56 |
| FastCode | its standard | 03:57 |
| FastCode | not an ISO standrad, all linux distros choose partitions like this, more or less | 03:58 |
| lotuspsychje | how can i tail -f all logs in computer and not only syslog.1 in realtime? | 03:58 |
| Stryke | how can i dual boot windows xp with my ubuntu 12.04? I already have ubuntu 12.04 installed on my system and i want to install windows xp on the same hard drive. how can i do this? all the tutorials i see are for windows machines and not ubuntu | 03:59 |
| MrMonkey31 | Fastcode, ...yeah if I had got 2 partitions expecting a single one, but 3 partitions is what I ended up with (where I thought I was getting 1) | 03:59 |
| FastCode | cd /var/log; for f in *;do tail -f $f;done | 03:59 |
| FastCode | MrMonkey31: so you want to remove the swap or not?it doesn't take more than a few seconds | 04:00 |
| FastCode | cd /var/log; for f in *;do tail -f $f &;done | 04:00 |
| lotuspsychje | FastCode: the whole line? | 04:00 |
| FastCode | note the ampersand I missed.it's the key. | 04:00 |
| FastCode | lotuspsychje: yes | 04:00 |
| MrMonkey31 | really all I want is to delete the 8 gig partition with the mystery files on it. and then use the space to expand my main partition | 04:00 |
| MrMonkey31 | that's not asking much is it?! | 04:01 |
| MrMonkey31 | but will ubuntu explode upon doing this? | 04:01 |
| FastCode | the mystery files you're talking about is tho OS | 04:01 |

| wilee-nilee | Stryke, Generally having windows in the first partition a primary is easiest access for fixing. XP is end of life in about 200 days though. | 04:01 |
| lotuspsychje | FastCode: bash: syntaxerror ; | 04:02 |
| Stryke | wilee-nilee it doesnt matter, i only need windows for monitoring my printers ink levels (which appears to be very difficult in ubuntu) and MAYBE use it for adobe photoshop, altho i can use win with that and/or prolly start learning GIMP | 04:03 |
| Stryke | use *wine | 04:03 |
| FastCode | lotuspsychje: I fixed the command, but there is another problem which I'm afraid stop you to do what you want. | 04:03 |
| wilee-nilee | Stryke, If thats all you need it for I would put it in a vm. | 04:03 |
| FastCode | inotify cannot be used, reverting to polling: Too many open files | 04:04 |
| lotuspsychje | Fastcode: im just looking for a central way to fast see what happens on computer | 04:04 |
| FastCode | for f in *; do (tail -f $f &);done | 04:05 |
| MrMonkey31 | Fastcode, thanks for trying. ubuntu > me | 04:05 |
| Stryke | wilee-nilee the thing is, this system is pretty old and i doubt it can handle a VM well, but i did thought of that, and would prolly give that a try aswell | 04:05 |
| wilee-nilee | Stryke, For more details on a HD install though run sudo fdisk -l and pastebin it so we can see whats there now, or take a screenshot of gparted. | 04:05 |
| FastCode | MrMonkey31: you can still disable swap, that will give you a few gigs back | 04:05 |
| FastCode | lotuspsychje: have you tried: tail -f /var/log/* | 04:06 |
| lotuspsychje | FastCode: works now, seems like its spamming in terminal :p | 04:06 |
| MrMonkey31 | I could even try reinstalling but I'll probably wind up trying some tweaks and apps first | 04:07 |
| lotuspsychje | FastCode: lemme try holdon | 04:07 |
| FastCode | pkill tail before trying something eles | 04:07 |
| FastCode | else* | 04:07 |
| lotuspsychje | FastCode: cool! seems like that one works | 04:07 |
| lotuspsychje | FastCode: lemme try that in colortail now :p | 04:08 |
| Stryke | wilee-nilee but before that let me ask you this, do you think i could run an XP VM on a system with an amd athlon 2.2ghz single, and 1gb of ram running ubuntu 12.04 as native OS. i know its not much, and i am out of options since my mac and windows laptop died in the same month. | 04:08 |
| wilee-nilee | Stryke, Seems a bit light. | 04:09 |
| Stryke | wilee-nilee and would you recommend and vmware that i can use aside from virtualbox for ubuntu? | 04:09 |
| FastCode | Stryke: only if your cpu supports amd-v | 04:09 |
| Stryke | FastCode amd-v? | 04:09 |
| wilee-nilee | Stryke, I've never used vm just vbox | 04:09 |
| FastCode | hardware virtualization | 04:09 |
| Stryke | FastCode please enlighten me | 04:09 |
| Stryke | i see | 04:09 |
| Stryke | i used vbox before on my laptop | 04:10 |
| FastCode | lscpu|grep Virtualization | 04:10 |
| lotuspsychje | FastCode: i think syslog.1 only might color up on colortail | 04:10 |
| Stryke | i had win 7 as native and i tried installing iatkos (Mac OS X Lion vm) and its freakingly slow | 04:11 |
| wilee-nilee | Stryke, Dualbooting is fairly east it is just a manner od setting it up right and knowing how to reload the mbr if needed. You will have to reload the grub bootloader is all, and there is an gui app bootrepair that will do it here. | 04:11 |
| wilee-nilee | of* | 04:11 |
| Stryke | wilee-nilee and yes i just saw that now, using boot-repair | 04:11 |
| Stryke | wilee-nilee but my question now is, after for example repairing grub2 with boot-repair on an ubuntu live cd, after i restart would that give me the grub2 boot loader screen so i could choose between xp and ubuntu? | 04:12 |
| samson | with fcron, is it possible to start the next job after the next interval, taking into account the runtime of the last job? | 04:12 |
| wilee-nilee | Stryke, Grub will pickup the XP and you can choose ot from the grub menu. You run sudo update-grub to update when needed. | 04:14 |
| FastCode | Stryke: If you're *ONLY* trying to see if *bootloader* works(*NOT any of the OSs*), then you may fall in love with this command:qemu-system-x86_64 -m 512 -hda /dev/sda | 04:14 |

| Genyar | I"m using the Gnome Partition Editor and trying to format my hard drive | 05:21 |
| Genyar | Well, not format it | 05:23 |
| Genyar | I want to erase all the data on the hard disk, so I can cleanly install Kubuntu 12.04 | 05:23 |
| xmetal | a format would do it | 05:24 |
| hero100 | salamandre43025, just try each option in recovery mode, it's difficult to remember what options these are | 05:24 |
| xmetal | wow @ never seen this channel this quiet before | 05:24 |
| wilee-nilee | Genyar, The installer has a use the whole HD option. | 05:24 |
| Genyar | I already deleted all the partitions using the Windows XP installation CD's partition program, fdisk? orwhatever | 05:24 |
| hero100 | ubuntu live cd will do the job | 05:25 |
| Genyar | so, now I have 466 GB of unallocated space | 05:25 |
| * xmetal agrees 100% with wilee-nilee | 05:25 | |
| hero100 | you can use the default option | 05:25 |
| xmetal | if you want to use the entire HDD, the partition "editor" in the installer itself will do it | 05:26 |
| Genyar | But in spite of all that empty space, I think there are some Windows leftovers still in the hard drive, and that's why the Kubuntu 12.04 installation CD doesn't work | 05:26 |
| xmetal | oh thats not good ... i'd make sure the CD worked before i wiped out windows, honestly | 05:26 |
| Genyar | But I could be wrong | 05:26 |
| wilee-nilee | Genyar, explain doesn't work. | 05:26 |
| xmetal | (example - dualboot, then when you know kubuntu works, remove the windows paritition (and grub entries) in kubuntu) | 05:27 |
| xmetal | (if you do not want windows anymore that is) | 05:27 |
| wilee-nilee | windows files would not block a install anyway | 05:27 |
| xmetal | again, wilie has it correct :) | 05:27 |
| Genyar | The installation CD always works, but it keeps getting stuck at the same point | 05:27 |
| xmetal | hmm if its stuck then it is ... not working | 05:28 |
| * xmetal scratches head | 05:28 | |
| wilee-nilee | Genyar, You need to be exact with this info to get any real info. | 05:28 |
| wilee-nilee | help rather | 05:28 |
| xmetal | where is it getting stuck? | 05:28 |
| Genyar | at the root drive | 05:28 |
| hero100 | as xmetal said, make sure the cd worked. not as a video cd or something as | 05:28 |
| Genyar | this has been going on for months | 05:28 |
| wilee-nilee | Genyar, root drive? | 05:29 |
| Genyar | I gave up a few weeks ago | 05:29 |
| xmetal | i'd redownload the cd | 05:29 |
| xmetal | but that is not good if you formatted windows already | 05:29 |
| xmetal | (well you could use another machine of course) | 05:29 |
| xmetal | thats obvious | 05:29 |
| Genyar | The installation CD was already tested and checked after I burned it | 05:29 |
| wilee-nilee | Genyar, Take a screenshot of gparted and imagebin it. | 05:29 |
| xmetal | i still dont get what "stuck on the root drive" means | 05:30 |
| wilee-nilee | or kparted since its kubuntu | 05:30 |
| Genyar | that would take a while | 05:30 |
| hero100 | in my opinion, usb installer is more easier and more faster to use. | 05:30 |
| wilee-nilee | Genyar, why? | 05:30 |
| Genyar | I'm not familiar with Gparted and how to transfer to the USB jump drive | 05:30 |
| wilee-nilee | Genyar, the live kubuntu has kparted. | 05:31 |
| xmetal | i lost track what the issue is now | 05:31 |
| xmetal | lol | 05:31 |
| Genyar | Using the USB jump drive installer is more complicated than the CD | 05:31 |
| xmetal | i think i need a snack | 05:31 |

| wilee-nilee | Genyar, So if you close kparted, hit the install and choose the whole HD you get errors? | 05:33 |
| Genyar | No errors | 05:34 |
| xmetal | a problem (though i am not clear on what it is stuck on) means a problem with the iso download OR the burn of that ISO | 05:34 |

| Genyar | Someone found file errors | 05:34 |
| wilee-nilee | Genyar, Is it that you are trying to have a separate home, and it is there on the install you error? | 05:34 |
| Genyar | Like 2,000 file errors | 05:34 |
| Genyar | But no sector errors | 05:34 |
| xmetal | file errors on unallocated space? | 05:35 |
| Genyar | No, the problem is the root | 05:35 |
| wilee-nilee | Genyar, That makes no sense. | 05:35 |
| Genyar | No, the file errors were seen when I still had the Windows partitions | 05:35 |
| gr33n7007h | How do you format a usb disk to factory settings using linux | 05:36 |
| Genyar | Actually, they may have been Linux partitions mixed in with the windows partitions | 05:36 |

| Genyar | I have a journal of everthing that happened, it happpened about a week ago | 05:36 |
| xmetal | i must have low sugar or something .. .almost nothing is making sense | 05:37 |
| xmetal | hmm | 05:37 |
| gr33n7007h | wilee-nilee, Well it's got a partition at /dev/sdb1 but i don't want no partitions on it | 05:37 |
| wilee-nilee | Genyar, Just install, it sounds like you basically are not clear on doing this is all. | 05:37 |
| Genyar | Yeah, I have tried to install it about 50 times over the last 3 months | 05:37 |
| gr33n7007h | will dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512k do it? | 05:37 |
| wilee-nilee | gr33n7007h, A stock usb would have a partition, just format it with gparted. | 05:38 |
| Genyar | Each time, it always gets stuck at the root drive | 05:38 |
| xmetal | i STILL do not know what that means | 05:38 |
| gr33n7007h | wilee-nilee, No i created it one time | 05:38 |
| Genyar | I have written in my journal everthing that happned during each install | 05:38 |
| wilee-nilee | Genyar, That makes no sense, try it now with it unallocated and choose the whole HD. | 05:38 |
| Genyar | so I have a lot of notes, I also took screen shots | 05:38 |
| Genyar | I did that already and it didn't work | 05:39 |

| gr33n7007h | xmetal, is that for me ? | 05:47 |
| xmetal | no | 05:48 |
| Genyar | ext3 is a linux file format? | 05:48 |

| xmetal | no problem | 05:49 |
| memand | Genyar: yes, ext3 is linux | 05:50 |
| memand | I think BSD can use it too | 05:50 |
| Genyar | I FOUND IT: mY problem was at the "Prepare Partitions" section of the installation of Kubuntu 12.04 | 05:50 |
| Genyar | It kept saying "No root file system is defined" | 05:51 |
| Genyar | then it told me, "Please correct this from the partitioning menu" | 05:51 |
| Genyar | And when I went to the partitioning menu, nothing would work, I couldn't touch any of the partitions or make any changes | 05:52 |
| Genyar | this happened several times, because I kept trying to install 12.04 over and over again using the installation CD | 05:53 |
| Genyar | I know the installation CD is good because I burned it using Nero and I chose to check the ISO image for errors after the burn | 05:54 |

| Psil0Cybin | is it normal to have haldaemon in your user group | 06:10 |

| stemid | why is tab completion so retarded in ubuntu when it comes to lvm tools? I know how to fix it in theory but I think it's retarded from the start because some developer for the distro made a pretty stupid design decision. in debian it works wonderfully, to expand /dev devices with lvextend, vgextend and so forth. but on ubuntu it's always a PITA | 07:28 |

| DJones | !java | kakaakak_ | 07:55 |
| ubottu | kakaakak_: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 07:55 |
| kakaakak_ | DJones: not just java, any package i run apt-get install i get same error | 07:56 |
| kakaakak_ | DJones: that was just an example | 07:56 |
| DJones | kakaakak_: Try running sudo apt-get update to refresh the repository database, then try again | 07:56 |
| kakaakak_ | DJones: still same error. i had control C-ed a dpkg operation, could that be a problem | 07:57 |

| EdwardSnowden | Wiz_KeeD, You should remove all broadcom drivers that are currently installed. FInd them with dpkg -l | grep b43 | 08:57 |
| Wiz_KeeD | just one | 08:57 |
| Wiz_KeeD | that one | 08:57 |
| EdwardSnowden | Wiz_KeeD, Then apt-get purge | 08:57 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ok sir! yes | 08:57 |
| gaben | shivani: Can you put the full error messages on http://paste.ubuntu.com | 08:58 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Now should I try to install with additional drivers or what the forum guy says EdwardSnowden ? | 08:58 |

| EdwardSnowden | Wiz_KeeD, try apt-get first | 08:58 |
| wilee-nilee | gaben, I would disagree I have had to help many with a grub purge and reload from using the customizer, nevertheless on this channel we would instruct them to use /etc/default/grub and change GRUB_DEFAULT=0 | 08:59 |

| babinlonston | installed Oracle java 7 using command sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer , but its got error so i removed it and i installed oracle java 7 using manually , But now im trying to install mysql-server using command sudo apt-get install mysql-server i cant get installed its giving one error as E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. , if i use the dpkg--configure its again installaing java | 09:07 |

| wilee-nilee | foofoobar, There is a ubuntu certified wiki, not sure how up to date it is. | 09:07 |

| gaben | babinlonston: Let it finish installing Java from that package if I were you | 09:07 |
| EdwardSnowden | foofoobar, My friend uses the XPS 13 it's really good | 09:08 |
| babinlonston | shivani: inidan ? | 09:08 |
| EdwardSnowden | Wiz_KeeD, Yea try that one | 09:08 |
| babinlonston | gaben: no already i installed java manully | 09:08 |
| MickS | babinlonston: sudo apt-get remove oracle-java7-installer | 09:08 |

| babinlonston | E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 09:09 |
| shivani | babinlonston: yeah | 09:09 |
| wilee-nilee | foobArrr, Here you just get opinions, hardly valid overall, it is the hardware anyway that is of concern. http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/ | 09:09 |
| MickS | babinlonston: was it oracle-java7-installer itself that gave the error, or was it one of the dependencies? | 09:10 |
| babinlonston | shivani: me too india Nice meeting u | 09:10 |
| babinlonston | MickS: While installation time cos of network disconnect its breaked in half | 09:11 |
| babinlonston | MickS: so i planned to install the oracle java using tar file and its installed and now java was in my server .. so i dont need to install it more , but while im trying to install the mysql-server keepon getting this error | 09:12 |
| Wiz_KeeD | God damn it man... | 09:12 |
| Wiz_KeeD | http://pastie.org/8322255 | 09:12 |
| MickS | babinlonston: you still have the backlog of what it was doing? What you could try is to sudo apt-get remove all the packages that were going to be installed (so add the dependency packages too) | 09:12 |
| babinlonston | MickS: cant get u | 09:13 |
| MickS | babinlonston: what I mean is that if you install oracle-java7-installer it will also install libfoo libbar and libbaz for instance... if the installation broke on libbar, the apt-get remove for oracle-java7-installer only will not fix the issue. But if you specifically say apt-get remove oracle-java7-installer libfoo libbar libbaz, it might fix the issue | 09:14 |
| an3k | lol, that's funny. with ubuntu i can play fullhd videos on this notebook (~8 years old). don't know from where it gets the power :) | 09:14 |
| shivani | babinlonston: same here :) | 09:15 |
| MickS | babinlonston: the other option is to proceed the installation and do the remove afterwards. You might need to reinstall your manually installed java again (if that is the preferred version) | 09:15 |
| babinlonston | shivani: :) | 09:16 |
| reisio | an3k: more efficient system, including just the media playback software | 09:17 |
| babinlonston | oh | 09:17 |
| an3k | reisio: yeah but afaik the notebook actually doesn't have the power to playback fullhd °_° | 09:17 |
| reisio | power? :) | 09:18 |
| shivani | guys could anyone please help regarding the problem of running sudo apt-get update on a VM? | 09:18 |
| reisio | an3k: you mean 1080p? | 09:18 |
| shivani | Is it an issue with ubuntu 12.04.2 ? | 09:18 |
| shivani | should I get another iso ? | 09:18 |

| shivani | http://img.ctrlv.in/img/5232d4471de7d.png -> this is the error trace in my VM right now | 09:18 |
| an3k | and with power i mean cpu power, system power, etc. | 09:18 |
| babinlonston | shivani: can u access ping google.com from vm ? | 09:18 |
| cfhowlett | !md5sum|shivani, take 2 minutes to verify the ISO | 09:18 |
| ubottu | shivani, take 2 minutes to verify the ISO: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 09:18 |

| reisio | an3k: a decent GPU and a decent player would cover it | 09:19 |
| reisio | an3k: or just a decent player | 09:19 |
| Pessimist | shivani, it means your computer can't access the repositories | 09:19 |

| shivani | cfhowlett: checked the iso file , seems right | 09:23 |
| wilee-nilee | smw94, archbangs is a souped up version | 09:23 |
| shivani | babinlonston: okay | 09:24 |
| babinlonston | shivani: then do sudo apt-get upgrade | 09:24 |
| cfhowlett | shivani, "seems"? matches or it don't. but if it matches, no need to get another ISO .... | 09:24 |
| shivani | cfhowlett: yes it matches | 09:24 |
| smw94 | wilee-nilee : can i get something like arch system info terminal ? | 09:25 |
| babinlonston | shivani: which command u used ? will u please type here | 09:25 |
| shivani | babinlonston: rebooted it , and ran update , still on the same error | 09:25 |

| wilee-nilee | smw94, I forget what that is, it has been awhile since I used either. | 09:25 |
| babinlonston | did u provide the password while i asking ? | 09:25 |
| shivani | babinlonston: yeah | 09:26 |
| babinlonston | shivani: see your ip and add it in hosts file and see ur hostname and add it to ur hosts file too | 09:27 |

| shivani | and I have set my proxy in /etc/wgetrc | 09:27 |
| shivani | babinlonston: yes | 09:28 |
| shivani | can ping google | 09:28 |
| babinlonston | shivani: remove the proxy and static ip and do a update and upgrade it will Work | 09:28 |
| shivani | babinlonston: okay trying | 09:28 |
| wilee-nilee | smw94, You can customize the terminal, but I have not really done it. | 09:28 |
| babinlonston | shivani: sure | 09:28 |
| babinlonston | shivani: if u need to configure a static ip better use bridge method , if not it wont work good | 09:29 |
| wilee-nilee | both arch and archbang or quite usable OS's though. | 09:29 |
| wilee-nilee | are* | 09:30 |
| Wiz_KeeD | anyone got any advice on this broadcom thing? | 09:30 |
| babinlonston | shivani: instead of using vmware player use KVM in ur Host machine its good , if your Host machine supports 64 Bit arch , http://pastebin.com/fRN6uSSi | 09:31 |
| shivani | babinlonston: after removing those I cant ping google.com :( | 09:31 |
| wilee-nilee | Wiz_KeeD, This is a rather slow time you might try later, and or a thread at the ubuntu forums as well. | 09:32 |
| shivani | babinlonston: I was using kvm earlier , it gave me errors during vm installation following which I shifted to VMplayer | 09:32 |
| babinlonston | shivani: you using ubuntu 13.04 in your host machine so configure your network interface for bridge | 09:32 |
| shivani | babinlonston: how do I do that | 09:32 |

| kapa | i want a minimal distro (command-line only) that can use ubuntu repositories. any one can help please? | 09:50 |
| DJones | !minimal | kapa | 09:50 |
| ubottu | kapa: 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 | 09:51 |
| DJones | kapa: I would assume with the minimal iso, you can select whether you want a graphical interface installed or not | 09:51 |
| sunson | what causes the "Size mismatch" error while doing apt-get install for a (privately maintained) package? | 09:52 |
| DJones | kapa: Its not something I've tried, but hopefully somebody else can confirm that | 09:52 |
| kapa | @DJones , I have a slow connection and want the download to be at most 30-40 MB | 09:52 |
| kapa | something like TTY LINUX but i want it to be able to use ubuntu repositories | 09:53 |
| DJones | kapa: I'm not aware of anything like that, Damm Small Linux is abot 50Mb, but that doesn't use the Ubuntu repos | 09:54 |

| DJones | nibz: Maybe look at http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ | 10:22 |
| berryciderspider | from an educational perspective It's obviously something I'll learn, but is it more practical than using a scripting langauge? | 10:22 |

| === ubuntu is now known as Guest75441 | ||
| jrib | berryciderspider: sure, it makes sense to learn bash and one saner scripting language (like python, ruby, etc. Perl has fallen out of favor lately, but it would still be a good language to learn if you enjoy working with it). It makes sense to also learn bash because that's what you'll be writing your commands in in a terminal | 10:23 |
| nibz | well but are these releases or package archives? | 10:23 |

| jrib | nibz: there's a package archive on old-releases.ubuntu.com (no /releases) I think | 10:24 |
| nibz | jrib: i dont like the situation | 10:24 |
| nibz | but we have these old imac g4s | 10:25 |

| jrib | nibz: sounds great | 10:25 |
| nibz | and quite a bit of looking essentially says use hardy or stop using the computer | 10:26 |
| jrib | nibz: you might try debian which might support ppc better and see if it also has that issue in their latest release for ppc. If nothing else, just to troubleshoot your ubuntu issue | 10:26 |

| Sn33 | Hi. can some one point me to the right direction to setup an environment to host several virtualmachines for testing my application with support to take a snapshot of the VM easily? | 10:42 |
| Sn33 | Is OpenStack the right tool to do this? | 10:42 |
| jrib | Sn33: could use virtualbox | 10:42 |
| Sn33 | jrib: I have no GUI | 10:43 |
| Sn33 | jrib: it owuld be nice if it has a web GUI because several people are going to be working/testing the applicationsimultanouosly | 10:43 |
| jrib | Sn33: I don't think that's an issue | 10:43 |
| jrib | Sn33: I don't know if vbox has a web gui | 10:43 |
| reisio | pretty sure they all have webUIs | 10:44 |
| Sn33 | I am looking at KVM with some management tools | 10:44 |
| JPascal | vbox hav web gui on pph | 10:44 |
| rymate1234 | http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpvirtualbox/ | 10:44 |
| AdmV0rl0n | sn33: please take a look at ProxMox | 10:44 |
| AdmV0rl0n | I think if you check it - you'll likely find its a product fit for your use. | 10:45 |
| gangan | Could someone walk me through fixing a non functional graphical front end. Currently the Ubuntu graphical shell hangs on boot. | 10:45 |
| Sn33 | AdmV0rl0n: tried that, no snapshot support | 10:45 |
| Pessimist | gangan, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and go from there | 10:47 |
| r2j | guys | 10:47 |
| r2j | just connected an external display to my laptop | 10:47 |
| gangan | OK thanks. I have no extra hdd here now so I can't reinstall from scratch. Just need a failsafe method to reset. LXDE preferred, but unity would be OK. | 10:47 |
| AdmV0rl0n | sorry? it uses vzdump and its backup method is snapshot based. Are you sure you actually checked it and tested fully? | 10:47 |
| r2j | cannot get an extend desktop option | 10:47 |
| r2j | it clones the display | 10:47 |
| DemoScale | Did you try to disable clone display option in settings-display? | 10:48 |
| r2j | im using voyager which is ubuntu + xfce | 10:48 |
| r2j | lemme check | 10:48 |
| DemoScale | Maybe my advice can be wrong bcoz Im using Korean language pack for my Ubuntu | 10:49 |
| cfhowlett | !nomodeset|gangan, | 10:49 |
| ubottu | gangan,: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 10:49 |
| r2j | no option to disable clone display | 10:49 |
| DemoScale | Im sorry but I can't help you further as long as you're using xfce | 10:50 |
| gangan | odd. xserver-xorg not installed... Could this cause the Ubuntu boot logo to hang? Maybe I removed my dt environment and that went with it. I'll start by installing it... | 10:50 |
| r2j | no way to extend the desktop in xfce? | 10:50 |
| DemoScale | hmm... | 10:50 |
| cfhowlett | !xubuntu|r2j, might know | 10:51 |
| ubottu | r2j, might know: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce as the desktop environment. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 10:51 |

| DemoScale | gangan... it spells alike very bad word in Korean | 10:52 |
| gangan | Pessimist: Next package. apt-get install lxde? Otherwise, name to use for the complete unity shell? I would google, but honestly using text based lynx it's pretty painful | 10:52 |
| gangan | DemoScale: oops. I'll think about that. | 10:53 |
| antar | Hi people | 10:53 |
| antar | i am looking for a good IDE for ubuntu | 10:53 |
| DemoScale | gangan: It's okay as long as it does not mean that one... | 10:54 |
| cfhowlett | antar, see the software center. no shortage of choice | 10:54 |
| gangan | Whoa. Installed LXDE, ran startx, and ended up in what looks like a mix of unity and (the dock is there, but windows are weirdly decorated). What have I done to this system... :) | 10:54 |
| antar | cfhowlett, eclipse is not working ok on ubuntu... | 10:55 |
| DemoScale | I'm searching for the best music player for Ubuntu. Any recommendation? | 10:55 |
| blahblah123 | Just discovered gnome indicator for Unity! Am stoked | 10:55 |
| blahblah123 | DemoScale: Sayonara | 10:55 |
| cfhowlett | !best|DemoScale, | 10:55 |
| ubottu | DemoScale,: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 10:55 |
| antar | demom, rhythmbox | 10:55 |
| gangan | oh, and no working mousepointer | 10:56 |
| DemoScale | oops, sorry. | 10:56 |
| cfhowlett | DemoScale, again, search the software center. no shortage of options. try them out and form your own opinion. | 10:56 |
| blahblah123 | I installed AMD catalyst, and it caused errors. So i uninstalled it, but the splash screen on boot is still stuck in no video mode??? | 10:56 |
| blahblah123 | Any ideas | 10:56 |
| blahblah123 | ? | 10:56 |
| DemoScale | I'll read the rules again | 10:56 |
| DemoScale | so this channel is only for troubleshoot? | 10:57 |
| ikonia | DemoScale: you can discuss ubuntu issues/problems, but it's aimed at technical support | 10:58 |
| cfhowlett | DemoScale, well, problem solving. | 10:58 |
| Pessimist | gangan, the package for the whole default ubuntu desktop is ubuntu-desktop. | 10:58 |
| gangan | Hmm. It's unity everything except the windowmanager? Dash and HUD is there. Windows are white and lightblue... | 10:58 |
| antar | cfhowlett, why eclipse is not working correctly inside ubuntu ? | 10:58 |
| cfhowlett | antar, couldn't tell you. sorry. | 10:59 |
| DemoScale | So I have a question. My Xchat client is not displaying the chatroom properly. | 10:59 |
| antar | cfhowlett, oh :) ?? | 10:59 |
| DemoScale | I can't read a few letter at the end of every lines. | 10:59 |
| gangan | Pessimist: Thanks. Tried installing but I'm back to the original problem. It says ubuntu-desktop depends on "xxx" but it won't be installed. There are a bunch of dependencies that apt-get refuses to install. | 10:59 |
| r2j | arandr is the answer.......extending and re-arranging desktops on XFCE | 10:59 |
| fidel | DemoScale: a) you might ask in the xchat channel as well - and b) screenshot might help as well | 11:00 |
| DemoScale | Any workarounds? | 11:00 |
| gangan | more explicitly "but it is not going to be installed" | 11:00 |
| antar | DemoScale, screenshoot if can ? | 11:00 |
| DemoScale | fidel: Okay, Thanks. | 11:00 |
| gangan | I previously did a dist-upgrade which worsened my problem. | 11:00 |
| antar | cfhowlett, what you are doing here , helping people for example ? | 11:01 |
| cfhowlett | antar, seriously? | 11:01 |
| antar | cfhowlett, Yeah | 11:02 |

| Wiz_KeeD | Can anyone help me please? I have Wired connection which is grayed out and Wired connection 1 which is used...why are there 2 of them? | 11:02 |
| cfhowlett | antar, well, for one, I focus on actually trying to help the problems I'm knowledgeable about and avoid getting sidetracked by extraneous commentary. | 11:02 |
| antar | cfhowlett, i am asking you and you are saying that you couldnt tell me | 11:02 |
| reisio | Wiz_KeeD: does it matter? | 11:03 |
| cfhowlett | !attitude|antar, | 11:03 |
| ubottu | antar,: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 11:03 |
| Wiz_KeeD | reisio, it does matter, it was not there before I don't want connection adding up and me not having control of my system | 11:03 |
| cfhowlett | !patiience|antar, | 11:03 |
| cfhowlett | !patience|antar, | 11:03 |
| ubottu | antar,: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ | 11:03 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: you have full control of your system | 11:03 |
| Wiz_KeeD | And the wireless driver works on 1 of x reboots for some reason | 11:03 |
| r2j | guys | 11:03 |
| Pessimist | gangan, try aptitude. sudo apt-get install aptitude && aptitude install ubuntu-desktop | 11:03 |
| r2j | any idea as to how i could play cs on ubuntu | 11:03 |
| blahblah123 | Does VirtualBox work with 13.10, please? | 11:03 |
| ikonia | r2j: is there a native linux client ? | 11:03 |
| reisio | blahblah123: yup | 11:04 |
| cfhowlett | r2j, counterstrike? install steam | 11:04 |
| antar | cfhowlett, you said that you could nt say , not dont know | 11:04 |
| blahblah123 | r2j: Have you tried Steam? | 11:04 |
| ikonia | blahblah123: try #ubuntu+1 for 13.10 discussion | 11:04 |
| Wiz_KeeD | This is why I would have liked to have a snapshot system.After going through a lot of pain of asking help and installing many broadcom dirvers, now I would like to move back before I did this and start over fresh | 11:04 |
| blahblah123 | Thanks ikonia | 11:04 |
| exutux | hi all ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/6101144/ this is my little script to get information from network printers getting pdf, it doesn't run on crontab but I don't know why... | 11:04 |
| r2j | okay | 11:04 |
| r2j | how? | 11:04 |
| reisio | r2j: or via Wine | 11:04 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Without all the libraries and changes made, since i'm not a pro to be able to undo everything | 11:04 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: why do you need to undo things ? | 11:04 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: what's broken ? | 11:04 |
| reisio | Wiz_KeeD: IIRC you can easily end up with multiple virtual network thingies in networkmanager just by clicking around in its prefs | 11:05 |
| reisio | and also undo it the same way :) | 11:05 |
| gangan | Whoa, that was a whole lot of problems listed there by aptitude. "Accept this solution?" Yeah why not... :) | 11:05 |
| reisio | Wiz_KeeD: as for snapshots, look into rdiff-backup | 11:05 |
| Wiz_KeeD | reisio, that could be, It's bugging me that it's there, and it's sole presence there might be the consequence of multiple adapter/drivers/librarier scatter over the system | 11:05 |
| Wiz_KeeD | rdiff-backup? ok | 11:06 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Will reinstall ubuntu once more if that works | 11:06 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: differnt drivers wouldn't make interfaces that don't exist appears | 11:06 |
| DemoScale | thx everyone, but I found the workaround myself. solved by changing the fontset. | 11:06 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: why do you need to re-install ubuntu ? | 11:06 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: what's not working that makes you think you need to re-install | 11:06 |
| reisio | DemoScale: g | 11:06 |
| reisio | j | 11:06 |
| Wiz_KeeD | reisio, does it work for full system backups? so your libraries, settings, conf files, are back to their original state? | 11:07 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: you don't want to do full system snapshot/backsup | 11:07 |
| exutux | hi all ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/6101144/ this is my little script to get information from network printers getting pdf, it doesn't run on crontab but I don't know why... some advice? thanks in advance | 11:07 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: why do you keep persisting with this | 11:07 |
| reisio | Wiz_KeeD: if you like | 11:07 |
| Pessimist | gangan, try to uninstall the conflicting packages. Also try to run unity --reset to reset it to default settings | 11:07 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: it could actually end up causing you more problems if you are not careful | 11:07 |
| Wiz_KeeD | reisio, the point of it would be that there are many things I still have no idea about when it comes to configuring/installing/removing stuff from my system, whenever I mess up because I need to do something like installing broadcom drivers for my wireless adapter, I try several hundrets of things and tutorials (checking with people here ofc) and after removing things from blacklist, adding header files, libraries, modules, reinstalling, etc | 11:08 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: honestly, that is not the way to manage recovery | 11:09 |
| reisio | Wiz_KeeD: I have no trouble understanding the point of backups :) | 11:09 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I do not know what should have been reverted to the original state and what should stay as it is, and instead of backtracking each probem caused by MULTIPLE several actions that i had partial understanding of, i'd rather revert to a snapshot in time that gives me the EXACT mirror I had before installing and try from there | 11:09 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: you've asked about this multiple times | 11:09 |
| Wiz_KeeD | doesn't that make sense at least in theory? | 11:09 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: it really doesn't, I understand what you are trying to do, but this is not the way to go about it | 11:10 |
| williangliao | My ubuntu great fever | 11:10 |
| reisio | doesn't matter, you can contemplate that over time | 11:10 |
| reisio | your networkmanager thing doesn't exactly require a backup system to fix | 11:10 |
| ikonia | exactly | 11:10 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ok so there's no solution for it period, no point in asking again | 11:10 |
| ikonia | nor does it require a re-install | 11:10 |
| reisio | indeed | 11:10 |
| === blahblah123 is now known as m113t | ||
| Wiz_KeeD | it's not JUST that | 11:10 |
| reisio | Wiz_KeeD: right right | 11:10 |
| Wiz_KeeD | i'm not a mental-case to reboot an entire system because I have a grayed out option | 11:10 |
| Wiz_KeeD | :)) | 11:10 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: as I said to you earlier - if you don't use bad software sources, pretty much anything can be resolved, | 11:10 |
| Wiz_KeeD | but nobody can tell me why it's there, when it wasn't, and what does it mean and the consequences | 11:11 |
| * cfhowlett ... reminds himself that some people LIKE the scorched earth/reinstall solution to every little ubuntu issue | 11:11 | |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: so instead of focusing on re-install/reboot full system restores, why don't you just focus on setting up the machine how you like it then using it | 11:11 |
| reisio | Wiz_KeeD: I think if you do a search for 'completely reset networkmanager' you'll fix it | 11:11 |
| DJones | >>> pumafied!~pumafied@2604:180:1::b3ca:68b1 | 11:11 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: it's going to be a udev rule that's been updated, or something like that, | 11:11 |
| reisio | I forget how to do it, hate networkmanager's complexity :p | 11:11 |
| ikonia | that will appear to great an extra device that doesn't exist, or something like that | 11:11 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Okay, my biggest issue by far is setting up the wireless driver, and I can't tell you the last 10 things I did to make it partially work | 11:12 |
| ikonia | or it could be a virtual device if you've been playing with virtualization options | 11:12 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: what does the last 10 things matter ? | 11:12 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: is it working now ? | 11:12 |
| === root_ is now known as tvo666 | ||
| Wiz_KeeD | It is working in 2 out of 3 reboots and I get a terminal message about wireless pyth smth loading before the boot image loads | 11:12 |
| Wiz_KeeD | but 1 out of 3 reboots it does not work at all, does not even scan networks | 11:13 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: so if you are happy its working - move onto the next problem, if you are not focus on fixing it | 11:13 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I guess the next advice would be "so just reboot again and you're" ok? | 11:13 |
| ikonia | rather htan focusing on backup/snapshots/re-installs | 11:13 |
| gangan | I tried reinstalling everything I can think of, lxde, unity*, ubuntu-desktop and xserver*. Then reinstalled ubuntu-desktop. It starts with a dialog saying: Failed to load session "ubuntu" | 11:13 |
| gangan | s/reinstalling/uninstalling/ | 11:13 |
| Wiz_KeeD | If anyone here thinks that having a wireless card work 50% chance when you reboot please do not offer me any piece of advice | 11:14 |
| Wiz_KeeD | not the kind of people i want to tall with, really | 11:14 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: drop the attitude - really, | 11:14 |
| gangan | There are a number of packages aptitude say "I will keep these at current version". Can I force them to be reinstalled somehow? | 11:14 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: no-one has said that in the slightest | 11:14 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Only superficial complacent people can say that is ok | 11:15 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: focus on getting the info you want | 11:15 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Alright | 11:15 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: no-one has said that, so stop with the pointless comments | 11:15 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Let me find the article | 11:15 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: don't need an article | 11:15 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: focus on your problem and what you want to happen | 11:15 |
| ikonia | just state it | 11:15 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I need to find that so you would undrstand | 11:16 |
| cfhowlett | gangan, bad idea to force the system. Those packages are held back for a reason. | 11:16 |
| Wiz_KeeD | so i can provide relevant info | 11:16 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: just explain the problem | 11:16 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Anyway, I tried installing the software using Additional Drivers, it errored out and said I need to check the log | 11:16 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I check the log and apart from showing in debug info that some b42 whatever were blacklisted, I removed them | 11:17 |
| Wiz_KeeD | it said that there is no wl module | 11:17 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I followed some tutorials, copied some files into tmp or something, tried compiling others | 11:17 |
| gangan | cfhowlett, ok. I'm desperate... Probably looks like I need to forget this now and later copy the home dir off and do a fresh reinstall... | 11:17 |
| ikonia | ok - that sounds unwise | 11:17 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Then I could install using the additional drivers and just before it finishes it said cannot complete install or failure becuse of package X | 11:17 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: it sounds like you've blown off the ubuntu drivers first confirming they where not going to work | 11:18 |
| Wiz_KeeD | but at the same time the wireless started working and automatically connected | 11:18 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: if a package is failing it's going to be because of a repo conflict | 11:18 |
| cfhowlett | gangan, sounds like a plan. | 11:18 |
| Pessimist | gangan, it's a good practice to make have /home in a seperate partition | 11:18 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I have no idea where i copied it, if it was temp or not, if I could find the article I can say for sure, so you think we need it or not? | 11:18 |
| gangan | Don't really have time for that though... | 11:18 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: remember the part I said about only using trusted repos | 11:18 |
| gangan | Pessimist. Yes you are right. | 11:18 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I think that is more guess-work ikonia | 11:18 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: what is guess work ? | 11:18 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Did not add any repo ikonia | 11:18 |
| gangan | can parted resize partitions? | 11:18 |
| Wiz_KeeD | at all | 11:18 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Except sublime text editor and the 32bit thingy and skype, that's all | 11:19 |
| Wiz_KeeD | nothing else | 11:19 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: so you did add repos then | 11:19 |
| cfhowlett | gangan, yes it can. boot from your ubuntu usb and run gparted to resize partitions | 11:19 |
| gangan | Still, I probably wouldn't do a reinstall without backing up home | 11:19 |
| cfhowlett | gangan, do you have /home in its own partition? | 11:19 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: either way, I think you should focucs initially on confirming the ubuntu supplied package doesn't work, and getting that installed correclty | 11:19 |
| cfhowlett | !home | 11:19 |
| ubottu | Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving | 11:19 |
| Pessimist | gangan, and it sounds like you don't have a display manager | 11:19 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: that should always be the first point to work through | 11:19 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I only used standard repos and install from aditional drivers in GUI | 11:19 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: and 3rd party repos | 11:20 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: you've just said you added additional repos | 11:20 |
| Wiz_KeeD | and tried adding header files with apt-get standard repo to fix it | 11:20 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: adding headers won't fix anything | 11:20 |
| Wiz_KeeD | for sublime text editor and canonical-partners | 11:20 |
| Wiz_KeeD | It did move me further with the install ikonia | 11:20 |
| Wiz_KeeD | when initially it was blocked completely | 11:20 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: tip - get your system working first then add software | 11:20 |
| gangan | cfhowlett. No. To be honest I have some stuff under /<customdir> that needs to be backed up as well | 11:20 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: sorry, this doesn't make sense at all. | 11:20 |
| Wiz_KeeD | np | 11:20 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: headers will only have an impact if you are compiling things | 11:20 |
| Wiz_KeeD | tried compiling with make and never used sudo | 11:21 |
| Wiz_KeeD | official broadcom drivers that failed also | 11:21 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: you shouldn't use sudo with make | 11:21 |
| cfhowlett | gangan, write out your backup/reinstall plan, think it through and execute. | 11:21 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I never did | 11:21 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: you should be working through the ubuntu packages - making sure they don't work before anything else | 11:21 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: the more you do external modules, the more problems you will have when kernel updates come from ubuntu | 11:21 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I never do updates anyway, but still | 11:22 |
| ikonia | you never do updates ??? | 11:22 |
| ikonia | that's just crazy | 11:22 |
| ikonia | and possibly why the broadcom package won't install | 11:22 |
| cfhowlett | !!! no updates? | 11:22 |
| ubottu | cfhowlett: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 11:22 |
| Wiz_KeeD | This was one article that i tried | 11:22 |
| gangan | cfhowlett. Thanks man. I've done this before. Thanks to all who tried to help my desperate fix. I guess it's console only for the rest of the day, then when I can I have to go through this. Problem is I have little time | 11:22 |
| Wiz_KeeD | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 11:22 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: again - I'd change your approach | 11:22 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I'm listening carefully then | 11:23 |
| cfhowlett | gangan, hey, make sure you've md5sum the ISO you download and run the integrity check on the boot USB. | 11:23 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: 1.) update your ubuntu system to current ubuntu packages for your version - and keep up with that 2.) remove the modules you have built 3.) focus on installing and verifying if the ubuntu packaged broadcom modules work/don't work and then move forward from there | 11:23 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I have no idea what other modules i've built except that one that failed | 11:24 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: how can you not know what you've built | 11:24 |
| Wiz_KeeD | update ubuntu though regular update? | 11:24 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: yes, update it through software manager/apt-get whatever tool you like | 11:24 |
| Wiz_KeeD | If i did 10 things I can't remember everything, not very good at this as i said | 11:24 |
| Wiz_KeeD | apt-get upgrade? | 11:24 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: ok, so if you're not good at things you need to stop doing what you think and start asking and listening for guidence | 11:24 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: stop following internet articles blindly | 11:25 |
| gangan | Thanks Pessimist. Thanks cfhowlett. Yes I have a trusted ISO at home. | 11:25 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: start tracking what you are doing and understanding the implications | 11:25 |
| cfhowlett | Wiz_KeeD, best practice: keep maintenance records of changes you make to the plain vanilla system. | 11:25 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: not sure about anything, ask, not sure of the approach, ask, totally lost, ask but the key thing is listen once you've asked | 11:26 |
| Wiz_KeeD | cfhowlett, like in a notepad or what? | 11:26 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: try not to just do things blindly as it's harder to trouble shoot as you actually don't know what you've done | 11:26 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: any notation you want, pen/paper, notepad, text editor, whiteboard anything | 11:26 |
| Wiz_KeeD | okay that makes sense | 11:26 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: that way when you're asked "did you do X" you can say "yes/no" with confidence | 11:26 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: bit if you don't know what a guide does - don't do it, ask and see if it's the right thing for you to do, some good people in the channel | 11:27 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: you seem to be making issues a little bigger than they need to be by rushing in | 11:27 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: some good people in this channel (and others) who can offer you an experinced opinion rather than a blind internet page that doesn't know your history/goal | 11:28 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ikonia, almost all I did over 95% was with approval from this channel | 11:30 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I did things on my own when nobody else answerd and people reply "yeah...do that" | 11:30 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: I don't think that's really true reading back, I don't see much focus on working through the ubuntu package problem in the logs | 11:30 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: I see a rush in to the external moduls | 11:30 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I tried: dpkg -l | grep b43 to find any b43 related packages to remove. then sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source dkms | 11:30 |
| ikonia | (although I could be missing parts of the conversations) | 11:30 |
| === ajeffco is now known as ajeffco|Home | ||
| Wiz_KeeD | I did: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) | 11:31 |
| ikonia | dont need a rundown of every command | 11:31 |
| Wiz_KeeD | AHA, here it is | 11:32 |
| Wiz_KeeD | The thing that made the install from aditional drivers not crash in the first few secconds and make it showing as enabled | 11:32 |
| Wiz_KeeD | sudo cp wl.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/net/wireless | sudo depmod -a | sudo modprobe wl | 11:32 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Because when consulting the error logs that the additional drivers educated me to read | 11:32 |
| Wiz_KeeD | it said that module wl is missing | 11:32 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: where did you get wl.ko ? | 11:33 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: you shouldn't be coping things like that into the kernel tree | 11:33 |
| ikonia | (blindly) | 11:33 |
| Wiz_KeeD | how do I undo that? I have no idea what that copy did tbh | 11:33 |
| Wiz_KeeD | my bad on that one | 11:33 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: right so that's the sort of rushing in type situation | 11:33 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: more so as that command it pretty obvious what it does to work out how to undo it | 11:33 |
| Wiz_KeeD | So how can that be undone? | 11:33 |
| Wiz_KeeD | rm it from there | 11:34 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: it copies wl.ko (from where ever you got it) into /lib/modules/(yourkernel version)/kernel/net/wireless | 11:34 |
| Wiz_KeeD | that's why I needed the article ikonia :) | 11:34 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: I'd find it very very hard to believe that a package from the ubuntu repos depends on the wl.ko module but doesn't actually install it | 11:34 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: I suspect that is not the package from the ubuntu repos doing that | 11:34 |
| ikonia | (I could be wrong but it seems unlikley) | 11:35 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I can look at the date it was altered and see if that worked right? | 11:35 |
| ikonia | "to see if it works" - it's copying a file if it didn't work it would error | 11:35 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: and as you said the file was missing, if the file is there....it worked | 11:35 |
| ikonia | or it would still be missing | 11:35 |
| Wiz_KeeD | -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5263237 Sep 13 12:44 wl.ko | 11:36 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: what did I just say ? | 11:37 |
| Wiz_KeeD | seems that the copy went through and actually did replace it | 11:37 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: repace it ? you said it was missing | 11:37 |
| Wiz_KeeD | sorry, what? | 11:37 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: you need to be clear about what you are doing - and what you expect things to do | 11:37 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: you said you had to copy that file in because it was missing | 11:37 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: now you are saying it replaced a file that was already there | 11:37 |
| Wiz_KeeD | No I didn't, I just copied it | 11:37 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I have no idea if it replaced it or not | 11:37 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: ok - so that's a bad thing | 11:38 |
| ikonia | again - doing things blind = problem | 11:38 |
| Wiz_KeeD | agreed | 11:38 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ahh | 11:38 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I said the module wl was missing since it showed so in theee error log | 11:38 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I remember now | 11:38 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I have no idea if it was there from the beginning or not | 11:38 |
| Wiz_KeeD | but the error log clearly stated No such module wl | 11:38 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: ok, so that's bad then | 11:38 |
| Wiz_KeeD | before I did the copy | 11:38 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: where did you get the wl.ko module from ? | 11:38 |
| Wiz_KeeD | sec | 11:39 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ikonia, http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_141.tar.gz | 11:40 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Thank God for history... | 11:41 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: ok, so while using this sort of thing can be good - it can also be bad to use blindly, and I think from what you are saying, that's the position you are in now | 11:41 |
| Wiz_KeeD | no arguments there | 11:41 |
| bitbuzzer | hi all. I'm running ubuntu 11.10 and I have an issue logging in via ssh, seems like a previous upgrade caused openSSL version mismatch. Running this: "/usr/sbin/sshd -t" outputs this: "OpenSSL version mismatch. Built against 1000004f, you have 1000105f" | 11:41 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I also removed the blacklist.conf file | 11:42 |
| Wiz_KeeD | from the mo...thingy | 11:42 |
| Wiz_KeeD | that blacklisted the broadcom drivers | 11:42 |
| reisio | bitbuzzer: seems straightforward | 11:42 |
| bitbuzzer | when I try to ssh into the server from another machine I get this: ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host | 11:42 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I can just remove that file and it's back to square 1...theoretically | 11:42 |
| bitbuzzer | reisio: care to elaborate? | 11:43 |
| b055 | hi everybody! I'm running ubuntu LTS on windows azure, i did an update an hour ago (apt-get upgrade) one of the modules was apachemod_php5 and suddenly i have a very high load on my system and i see a lot of cpu is suddenly being taken by apache2 processes, is this a known issue ? | 11:44 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ikonia, now what? | 11:44 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: no, you're not back to square one | 11:45 |
| Wiz_KeeD | solutions | 11:45 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: well, you need to be confident to back things out, or just push forward with trying to work a solution out | 11:46 |
| Wiz_KeeD | which one would that be? | 11:46 |
| reisio | bitbuzzer: says you have the wrong version, says which one it wants, doesn't it? | 11:46 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Since this is what I was trying to do before | 11:46 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: yes, but we are moving forward from an unknown place. | 11:47 |
| Wiz_KeeD | that's why i wanted snapshots/reinstall, you're contradicting yourself :)) | 11:47 |
| ikonia | no, I'm not | 11:47 |
| bitbuzzer | reisio: ok, what would be the command to sync versions? I've never done this before... thankx | 11:47 |
| ikonia | snapshots are not the answer | 11:47 |
| Wiz_KeeD | i'll just push on until i solve/break something | 11:48 |
| === jpmh is now known as JimmyJohns | ||
| Wiz_KeeD | and I will go on or reinstall | 11:48 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: ok, so I'd suggest forcusing on the ubuntu broadcom modules | 11:48 |
| Wiz_KeeD | never an easy solution or aswer, tried multiple things these kind people here offered | 11:48 |
| reisio | bitbuzzer: would ask apt-cache what's available first | 11:48 |
| ikonia | focus on getting them installed and configured properly | 11:48 |
| JimmyJohns | AT what point does Wiz_KeeD get declared to be a TROLL? | 11:48 |
| ikonia | then - move forward from that point | 11:48 |
| reisio | bitbuzzer: or you could just try reinstalling both openssh-server and openssl and it might just work | 11:48 |
| ikonia | JimmyJohns: he's not, he's just in expeirenced/new user | 11:49 |
| ikonia | JimmyJohns: everyone starts somewhere | 11:49 |
| Wiz_KeeD | sudo apt-get upgrade or sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? | 11:49 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: ok, so before going forward, I'd suggest having a little read of https://help.ubuntu.com get comfortable with the basic functions | 11:49 |
| JimmyJohns | ikonia: and every GOOD TROLL manages to persuade decent people they are not for a period. | 11:49 |
| Wiz_KeeD | read it for a bit ikonia, will do some more, thanks | 11:50 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: from there you can move forward easier because you'll understand the basic things people are discussing with you | 11:50 |
| === soul is now known as Guest42969 | ||
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: then it makes it easier to share information and trouble shoot | 11:50 |
| Wiz_KeeD | surely it will | 11:50 |
| reisio | JimmyJohns: IME, people are declared trolls the moment they disagree with someone else who spends too much time online :) | 11:50 |
| Wiz_KeeD | since working from the console, this would be ok? https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/package-management-introduction.html | 11:51 |
| reisio | Wiz_KeeD: sounds like a plan | 11:51 |
| ikonia | https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/apt-get.html | 11:51 |
| Wiz_KeeD | alright going for it | 11:51 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: also the gui is a good tool, don't be scared of using it | 11:51 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ikonia, should I install ALL updates or just some important ones like security etc? I remember updating in the past and A LOT of things getting broken which I had no idea how to fix | 11:52 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: you should install all updates - things will only break if a.) you are using external software repos b.) you are using custom software (such as your compiled module) c.) a genuine bug - which are actually very rare | 11:53 |
| smoores | This cron job and script I made are sending me blank emails. If i execute the script on my terminal, the e-mail has content. What's the deal? http://pastebin.com/vXS4a5Wb | 11:54 |
| Wiz_KeeD | alright | 11:54 |
| Wiz_KeeD | dpkg -L package shows the files installed by the package, are these ALL the changes that package made on the system? | 11:54 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: it will just show the packages | 11:54 |
| Wiz_KeeD | And I assume this is the information used when you remove or purge | 11:54 |
| chucjh | can someone help me with vaapi drivers | 11:55 |
| chucjh | when I run mythtv frontend, it crashes | 11:55 |
| Wiz_KeeD | To list the files installed by a package, in this case the ufw package, enter: dpkg -L ufw | 11:55 |
| Wiz_KeeD | -l are the packages | 11:55 |
| BruceS | I have needed to drop back to kernel 3.0.2-052-generic - 053 periodically hangs for no apparent reason and needs a HARD reset - if I run apt-get dist-upgrade will the system bring back the 053 or will it apply patches to what I have? | 11:56 |
| ikonia | correct | 11:56 |
| Neo31 | are there channels dedicated for ubuntu global jam ? | 11:56 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Ahh and for example when I removed the libsql library with apt-get that cleared the entire system with apt-get | 11:56 |
| ChanSavr | in this day and age is it okay to use a single partition for a server? | 11:57 |
| Wiz_KeeD | If I really wanted to do it again I'd use dpkg -r package | 11:57 |
| Wiz_KeeD | since It would not consider the dependencies as well right? | 11:57 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: apt-get is the right way | 11:57 |
| ChanSavr | using 2x1TB hdd in raid1 | 11:57 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I know it is, was just talking in theory | 11:58 |
| ikonia | in theory - apt-get is the correct way to do it, and the way you should use | 11:58 |
| Wiz_KeeD | What are the apt-get configuration files that purge removes, and their purpose? | 11:59 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: sorry, I don't understand what you are asking | 11:59 |
| honestly | Wiz_KeeD: purge removes the application config files | 11:59 |
| beykno | is "ifconfig" command used in almost all linux distros or does it differ from distro to distro? | 12:00 |
| Wiz_KeeD | application config files, what do they actually provide | 12:00 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: they are for the application you are removing | 12:00 |
| honestly | they provide config... | 12:00 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: if you are removing the application, why keep the config ? | 12:00 |
| honestly | it's where the application settings are saved | 12:00 |
| reisio | beykno: don't cross post :/ | 12:01 |
| dhanasekaran | Hi Guys I am facing Kernel panic with message "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message | 12:03 |
| dhanasekaran | can you guide me how to fix this | 12:03 |
| dhanasekaran | I am ubuntu 12.04 | 12:03 |
| ikonia | dhanasekaran: look a few lines up - does it give a clue to what's hanging ? | 12:04 |
| dhanasekaran | 3.2.0-37-generic | 12:04 |
| daftykins | i had that issue the other day | 12:04 |
| dhanasekaran | ikonia: http://i.imgur.com/HypzZNv.png | 12:04 |
| daftykins | have you checked that your disk is fine? | 12:04 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ikonia, I've used the gui to install security and important packages and it errored out giving me the option to send the problem... | 12:05 |
| ikonia | dhanasekaran: ahhh disk hanging | 12:05 |
| dhanasekaran | I am not able to login machine ssh and snmp down | 12:05 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I am going to restart now to see what happens | 12:05 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: it sounds like your install is a real mess if you can't do updates | 12:05 |
| moosebook | hi guys. i run wicd on my laptop and it has suddenly started giving me trouble while connecting to the internet. wicd shows that the connection has been made, however it does not go though. pinging 'ping -c 3 www.google.com' results in 'ping: unknown host www.google.com'. the laptop dual boots with windows 7, and windows connects without a problem. what should i do? | 12:05 |
| daftykins | dhanasekaran: can you reset it? | 12:05 |
| Wiz_KeeD | right, my fault | 12:05 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: you installed ALL available updates, correct ? | 12:05 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Security and Important | 12:05 |
| Wiz_KeeD | All of them checked | 12:05 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: ALL available updates ? | 12:05 |
| dhanasekaran | daftykins: let me try | 12:06 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Security and Important from the settings and checked everything in that list | 12:06 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: ALL available updates ? | 12:06 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I told you this is what happened last time on a fresh install, i'm not crazy | 12:06 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: did you select ALL updates available ? | 12:06 |
| Luyin | Wiz_KeeD: you should always install ALL available updates. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade or dist-upgrade should do | 12:06 |
| dhanasekaran | daftykins: Iet me try power recycle | 12:06 |
| daftykins | ok | 12:06 |
| Wiz_KeeD | http://pastie.org/8322616 | 12:07 |
| Wiz_KeeD | that is what it returend | 12:07 |
| Wiz_KeeD | So I assume yes | 12:07 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: just so I'm clear - you selected ALL available updates ? | 12:07 |
| daftykins | bbl | 12:07 |
| Wiz_KeeD | yes | 12:07 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: as in everything it offered, | 12:07 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: great, ok, so that's what you need to do going forward | 12:07 |
| Luyin | ikonia: check his paste, seems good. | 12:07 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: you need to keep on top of that | 12:08 |
| Wiz_KeeD | that's what i'm saying | 12:08 |
| Wiz_KeeD | It errored out though | 12:08 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: however, if your update manager is crashing, you have more problems | 12:08 |
| Wiz_KeeD | As I thought it would happen, as it did last time | 12:08 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Will reboot see what happens | 12:08 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: if it's acceptable, I'd suggest re-installing as you wanted to do earlier - and then going through each phase of setting up your desktop how you want it | 12:08 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: eg: install - update to current, confirm working, get your wireless working, update, confirm working, get required software installed safely, confirm working, all the time keeping up to date | 12:09 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: as basic updates should not cause your system to crash | 12:09 |
| Etilas | anybody tried to setup Quake2 on Ubuntu? How did it go? | 12:10 |
| ikonia | Etilas: long time ago, worked fine, may have a few problems with modern ubuntu though as a lots changed | 12:10 |
| smoores | This cron job and script I made are sending me blank emails. If i execute the script on my terminal, the e-mail has content. What's the deal? http://pastebin.com/vXS4a5Wb | 12:11 |
| ikonia | smoores: look at the output your command is generating first. | 12:11 |
| ikonia | smoores: is the subject line blank ? | 12:11 |
| Wiz_KeeD | haha, now when I boot it says hub: port status failed | 12:12 |
| Wiz_KeeD | like 20 times | 12:12 |
| Wiz_KeeD | so much for the update | 12:12 |
| smoores | ikonia: just the content of the email is blank | 12:12 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Now I remember why I didn't do them | 12:12 |
| smoores | ikonia: the command outputs fine if i execute the script | 12:12 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: stop blaming the updates | 12:12 |
| BluesKaj | hey folks | 12:12 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: again - youre' guessing blindly | 12:12 |
| smoores | ikonia:its in roots crontab. | 12:12 |
| Wiz_KeeD | hahaha, it just started to do that when I updated | 12:12 |
| reisio | hey BluesKaj | 12:12 |
| smoores | ikonia: cron job sends me a blank email | 12:12 |
| BluesKaj | hi reisio | 12:12 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: yes, but your machine also crashed when you update which suggests something more serious is wrong | 12:12 |
| Wiz_KeeD | okay nvm | 12:13 |
| ikonia | smoores: but the subject is ok from cron ? | 12:13 |
| smoores | ikonia: yeah | 12:13 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Can you tell me in advance what would you say if i do a fresh install and update and it breaks? | 12:13 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Just out of curiosity | 12:13 |
| Wiz_KeeD | pure curiosity | 12:13 |
| smoores | ikonia: the script is +x and 777 | 12:13 |
| reisio | define 'it breaks' | 12:14 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: I'd work through the problem from a known clean/good base to understand what's failing and why | 12:14 |
| Ana3412 | i'm a lonely girl | 12:14 |
| reisio | oh sorry misunderstood | 12:14 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ahhhhhhhh, I see :)) that's enough for me, okay thanks | 12:14 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: you may have a genuine bug, in which case we need to get it logged and fixed, however from what we know at the moment - I'd assume not | 12:14 |
| Wiz_KeeD | i'd just avoid updating if the system works so there are ust two different approaches | 12:14 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: avoiding updates is not really an option | 12:14 |
| Wiz_KeeD | okay, time for format for the...37th time :)) | 12:15 |
| reisio | :/ | 12:15 |
| EdwardSnowden | Wiz_KeeD, Wifi still not working? | 12:15 |
| BruceS | I can't believe your patience guys - Wiz_KeeD is taking all of your time and ignoring your advice | 12:15 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Ignoring? I just did everything I was told :)) | 12:15 |
| ikonia | BruceS: we're on the right track now, so just hang in | 12:15 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: remember this time - don't rush into ANYTHING | 12:15 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: clean install - confirm working, plugin wired cable, update, reboot, confirm working | 12:15 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I never do, I followed EdwardSnowden's advice step-by-step | 12:16 |
| ikonia | nothing else | 12:16 |
| reisio | heh | 12:16 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Yes sir, will you be around to help then? | 12:16 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I will not do a single cd .. without permission :)) | 12:16 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: please don't say you don't rush in, because we've just proved you do typing commands yo udon't konw what they do | 12:16 |
| Wiz_KeeD | just sudo apt-get install xchat to get here | 12:16 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: the channel is here to help | 12:16 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: sure, install xchat | 12:16 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Okay, format, brb in...how much it would take | 12:16 |
| Wiz_KeeD | One word of advice | 12:16 |
| Wiz_KeeD | there is the option of download and install plugins while installing ubuntu, should I check that? | 12:16 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: lets keep it sane - don't do that now | 12:17 |
| Luyin | Wiz_KeeD: you won't even need that, on a fresh install of ubuntu you have Empathy to connect to IRC if you wish to use that. | 12:17 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: base install from cd - no updates, confirm working, run updates from wired connection, confirm working | 12:17 |
| Luyin | ikonia: why not install the plugins already? that keeps him from problems later | 12:17 |
| === Senguni is now known as Sengkuni | ||
| ikonia | Luyin: because we don't know if there is a genuine bug with an update on his machine | 12:17 |
| Wiz_KeeD | i'll wait until it's settled | 12:17 |
| ikonia | Luyin: so this can confirm if the bug comes from an update | 12:18 |
| Luyin | ikonia: ok | 12:18 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ikonia and everyone, despite my frustration from inability to get things done and start working I really appreciate the time and patience given | 12:18 |
| ikonia | Luyin: normall I agree with you, but we have a big gap of unknown here | 12:18 |
| Wiz_KeeD | nobody here is forced to help with anything yet everyone does, I do appreciate that | 12:18 |
| smoores | ikonia: any idea why my root crontab job isn't piping output from pflogsumm to mail? | 12:18 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ikonia, and if it does I have to format once more :( | 12:18 |
| Wiz_KeeD | puff | 12:18 |
| Luyin | Wiz_KeeD: good luck and you're welcome ;) | 12:18 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ok so no updates | 12:19 |
| ikonia | smoores: probaly because the command you are using to generate the output isn't in the root users $PATH | 12:19 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Then I'll be guinee pig and install them | 12:19 |
| Wiz_KeeD | brb | 12:19 |
| smoores | ikonia: /usr/sbin/pflogsumm | 12:19 |
| ikonia | smoores: can you run it as a non-privileged user ? | 12:19 |
| smoores | ikonia: yes | 12:20 |
| ikonia | smoores: test it with your own crontab and find out if it's a problem with crontab/root-crontab and we can move forward | 12:20 |
| smoores | ikonia: doesn't work from non-privileged users crontab | 12:22 |
| smoores | ikonia: works from non-privileged users shell, though | 12:22 |
| ikonia | smoores: ok, so it's the crontab shell | 12:23 |
| ikonia | smoores: so in your script put the full path to the applcation, see if that makes a difference | 12:23 |
| ikonia | smoores: I suspect it's the default shell enviornment | 12:23 |
| Wiz_KeeD-Android | ikonia: install this third-party software fluendo mp3 pligin mpeg layer-3 audio decoding technology etc? | 12:23 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD-Android: no | 12:23 |
| Wiz_KeeD-Android | ok | 12:23 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD-Android: hence "3rd party" | 12:23 |
| Wiz_KeeD-Android | yea qas dodgy | 12:23 |
| Wiz_KeeD-Android | asked just to be sure, would not check it myself | 12:24 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD-Android: no problem, asking is the right thing to do | 12:24 |
| darko | Hello | 12:24 |
| Wiz_KeeD-Android | Installation type, something else tight? | 12:24 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD-Android: pardon ? what do you mean ? | 12:24 |
| Wiz_KeeD-Android | Since Erase ububtu 12.04.3 lts and reinstall crashed last time | 12:25 |
| smoores | ikonia: did the trick, thanks. | 12:25 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD-Android: hang on, the installer has been crashing ? | 12:25 |
| ikonia | smoores: no sweat | 12:25 |
| Wiz_KeeD-Android | I would be better off deleting the partition right? | 12:25 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD-Android: has the installer been crashing before ? | 12:25 |
| Wiz_KeeD-Android | if i did chiise the first option when reinstaling | 12:25 |
| darko | i need to change the background color of nautilus , but i am using ubuntu 12.04 so there is no longer the "Background and Emblems" option | 12:25 |
| Wiz_KeeD-Android | not the first time and when i deleted the partition | 12:26 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD-Android: just looking for yes/no - has the installer being crashing when you've tried to install in the past | 12:26 |
| Wiz_KeeD-Android | only when reinstalling the firat time with that option | 12:26 |
| darko | i searched online and found out i need to edit nautilus.css , but i can only change the sidebar colors through that | 12:26 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD-Android: so "yes" | 12:26 |
| PeterGriffin | Samba problem: When I try to create ot copy file in a samba share from a Kubuntu desktop, the access is denied. It happens when it is mounted fron /etc/fstab. When I mount it browsing the network from frowser it acts ok. | 12:26 |
| Juiffi | Oh Lord YEAH! I was creating a new partition table for my usb memory. Well, forced it from commandline, since Gparted failed. At that time it was labeled sdC. After reboot it was sdB and my external 500GB HDD was the sdC. Guess who formatted the bloody 500gb drive with 8 days of nonspot music (and no pirated! ALL ripped from CDs! **** of a job), all my photos, Band promotion pictures etc. I'm really happy now. | 12:26 |
| Wiz_KeeD-Android | not on the last install it didn't | 12:26 |
| darko | any way i can change the actual browsing window's background color ? | 12:26 |
| Wiz_KeeD-Android | just when i picked that option on first reinstall | 12:26 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD-Android: I didn't ask the last install - I asked if it had crashed on previous installs | 12:26 |
| Wiz_KeeD-Android | that said erase ununtu and rinstall | 12:27 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD-Android: please try to answer clearly the question I asked - not the answer you think I need | 12:27 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD-Android: have previous installers crashed - yes/no | 12:27 |
| Wiz_KeeD-Android | yes then | 12:27 |
| Wiz_KeeD-Android | what's your conclusion | 12:27 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD-Android: how many installs crashed | 12:27 |
| Wiz_KeeD-Android | 1 | 12:27 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD-Android: and it's a specific option that causes the crash | 12:27 |
| Wiz_KeeD-Android | yew | 12:27 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD-Android: which option | 12:27 |
| Wiz_KeeD-Android | Erase Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS and reinstall (only available if ybuntu has veen pteviously installed) | 12:28 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD-Android: ok, as you have nothing to lose at this point, verify if that option still crashed, it could be useful later | 12:28 |
| Wiz_KeeD-Android | when there was unpartitioned space it worked with just install ubuntu | 12:28 |
| Wiz_KeeD-Android | hmm... | 12:29 |
| Wiz_KeeD-Android | I'll submit to bug test sure | 12:29 |
| ikonia | no | 12:29 |
| ikonia | I didn't say submit a bug | 12:29 |
| ikonia | I said verify if that option still crashes | 12:29 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD-Android: please please pay attention to what you are being asked to do | 12:29 |
| ikonia | stop rushing ahead with what you think you're being asked | 12:29 |
| Wiz_KeeD-Android | I'm testing it you will submit it maybe :)) | 12:31 |
| Wiz_KeeD-Android | i'm installing, it takes a bit | 12:31 |
| Wiz_KeeD-Android | so far so good | 12:31 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD-Android: there is no need to submit anything at this time | 12:31 |

| utente | install grub customizer to add some options in the grub2 menu | 12:32 |
| utente | how can I do, please? | 12:33 |
| utente | anyone please? | 12:34 |
| DJones | utente: For queries about Ubuntu STudio 13.10 you're probably better asking in either #ubuntu+1 (which is the support channel for development versions of Ubuntu), or possibly #ubuntustudio (although they may also refer you to #ubuntu+1 | 12:34 |
| PeterGriffin | Samba problem: When I try to create ot copy file in a samba share from a Kubuntu desktop, the access is denied. It happens when it is mounted fron /etc/fstab. When I mount it browsing the network from frowser it acts ok. | 12:34 |
| Wiz_KeeD-Android | ikonia: does it matter how the partition was formatted before? could that affect anything? | 12:37 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD-Android: as in filesystem option ? | 12:37 |
| Wiz_KeeD-Android | os-wise idk | 12:38 |
| ikonia | os wise ? | 12:38 |
| ikonia | what do you mean ? | 12:38 |

| Wiz_KeeD | ikonia, it has installed successfully and rebooted gracefully, but this comes up on boot and it say on top right i have restricted software: https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/20130913_154134.jpg?w=AAAl6S2rnttyZ8NstukNYBs-vAnkYd91NTp11sf3UJfmMQ | 12:46 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: that post you've made is private, I can't see it | 12:46 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I have done nothing else except sudo apt-get install xchat | 12:46 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ah damn | 12:46 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ikonia, https://www.dropbox.com/s/ck1h1qdmom1oh19/20130913_154134.jpg | 12:47 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ? | 12:47 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: does that actually stop it booting ? | 12:47 |
| Wiz_KeeD | no, as you can see i'm online here | 12:47 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: that's just a warning about your wireless cards firmware | 12:47 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I know | 12:47 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: ok, that's fine and not unexpected at this time | 12:47 |
| Wiz_KeeD | most probably, awaiting your clear commands | 12:48 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: so now update to the current update level applying all offered updates | 12:48 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I'm opening up a file in google drive to write down all the commands I issue | 12:48 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I still have wired connection and wired connection 1 lol | 12:48 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I think it was already there | 12:48 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ok | 12:48 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: that's not a problem - we'll deal with that later | 12:48 |
| Wiz_KeeD | 35 updates have been detected everything is clicked | 12:49 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Install updates as it popped up right? | 12:49 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: correct | 12:49 |
| === dean is now known as dean|away | ||
| Wiz_KeeD | mass-kick! :)) | 12:49 |

| ubottu | dean|away, please see my private message | 12:49 |
| === dean|away is now known as dean | ||
| dean | @ikonia sorry about that! | 12:52 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ikonia, installed gracefully, asking for reboot | 12:53 |
| ikonia | dean: not a problem | 12:53 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: ok, so this should give us some info | 12:53 |
| Wiz_KeeD | in what sense ikonia ? | 12:53 |
| Wiz_KeeD | btw, where are you from if you don't mind me asking? | 12:53 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: we'll know if updates actually break your system or not - as this point you have nothing but official ubuntu software installed | 12:53 |
| Kartagis | how do I change the language? it turned to Japanese and I can't read it | 12:54 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Indeed, and no errors so far | 12:54 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Should I reboot ikonia or should I get a log of things updated or something? | 12:54 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: reboot - we just need a black and white answer at this time | 12:54 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ok, on it | 12:55 |
| mrrcp | hey is there a way to remove the /home encryption? | 12:56 |
| m113t | mrrcp: Is it full encyrption that you've turned on? | 12:56 |

| m113t | OK, run the Disks app | 12:57 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ikonia, no problems except the same error at the start | 12:57 |
| Wiz_KeeD | other than that, it looks okay | 12:57 |
| m113t | and you will have any option to right click and change/remove password | 12:57 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: ok, so then "updates don't break your system" | 12:57 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: it something you are doing to your system that's causing a conflict/problem with the updates | 12:57 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: which also seems true as you couldn't install the broadcom packages from the ubuntu repo | 12:58 |
| mrrcp | disky utility? | 12:58 |
| m113t | mrrcp: yes | 12:58 |
| Wiz_KeeD | how would I install drivers to work with my wireless card? | 12:58 |
| mrrcp | hmm | 12:58 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: we'll get to that - there should be a package in the restricted drivers tool | 12:58 |
| mrrcp | i do not see that option | 12:58 |
| Wiz_KeeD | what is the next step then ikonia ? | 12:59 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: can you give me a few minutes, I'm just working on a document and want to finish my current chapter | 12:59 |
| m113t | mrrcp:under volumes, you should have one that says LUKS... select that, and then right click the settings cog, and you should have a "Change Passphrase" option | 13:00 |
| Wiz_KeeD | sure thing ikonia, in the meantime I can install simple packages such as bzr and skype using the tutorial here | 13:00 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: no | 13:00 |
| Wiz_KeeD | okay then | 13:00 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: what part of "no 3rd party software" am I not getting across | 13:00 |
| Wiz_KeeD | it's in the apt-get? | 13:00 |
| Wiz_KeeD | bzr | 13:00 |
| jhutchins | !tell Wiz_KeeD about wifi | 13:00 |
| ubottu | Wiz_KeeD, please see my private message | 13:01 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: I'm not trying to be awkward, but it's getting really frustrating to guide you / advise you when you just keep ignoring the advice | 13:01 |
| mrrcp | nopr | 13:01 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: I clearly said - 1.) get your desktop installed 2.) update - confirm it's working 3.) get your wifi working, 4.) make sure it's up to date and confirmed working | 13:01 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: those need to happen before you consider installing any software | 13:01 |
| mrrcp | no option | 13:01 |
| Wiz_KeeD | agreed, will read documentation in the meantime | 13:01 |
| blablabla | Hi, I installed Ubuntu 13.4 and now I can not in any way make the flash work, could help me? | 13:02 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: I've made that clear to you multiple times now and you still seem to be ignoring it and rushing ahead, it's very very frustrating now | 13:02 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ping me when you are available please | 13:02 |
| m113t | mrrcp: this is when you click the cogs on the LUKS option? | 13:02 |
| mrrcp | o well | 13:02 |
| mrrcp | what is luks? | 13:02 |
| m113t | LUKS is the name of the encryption system that ubuntu uses... | 13:03 |
| mrrcp | i think the only thing encrypted is my home folder | 13:03 |
| mrrcp | nothing else | 13:03 |
| mrrcp | so there are no options like that under disk util | 13:03 |
| mrrcp | i have clicked on everything | 13:03 |
| m113t | mrrcp: I dont know how to change that sorry. I thought you meant full disk encryption which is LUKS | 13:04 |
| blablabla | Hi, I installed Ubuntu 13.4 and now I can not in any way make the flash work, could help me? | 13:04 |
| mrrcp | o no .. sorry | 13:04 |
| m113t | mrrcp: All good | 13:04 |
| m113t | blablabla: What browser are you using? | 13:04 |
| blablabla | Firefox | 13:04 |
| m113t | I couldn't use flash with firefox | 13:05 |
| m113t | I ended up installing google chrome, which comes prelaoded with flash | 13:05 |
| Wiz_KeeD | installing applications withing the ubuntu repository is considered 3rd party? | 13:05 |
| Wiz_KeeD | It maybe a confusion of terms here | 13:05 |
| blablabla | Which browser should I use? | 13:05 |
| m113t | blablabla: Chrome is alot faster than firefox on linux | 13:06 |
| m113t | blablabla: I would recommend chrome, but its what you feel comfortable using | 13:06 |
| blablabla | I will try, then I'll be back .. thanks. | 13:06 |
| shivani | guys "ping google.conm" is working in my vm box but "sudo apt-get update" is not | 13:11 |
| shivani | please suggest a fix | 13:11 |
| Tm_T | shivani: please give the exact error apt-get is giving | 13:12 |
| shivani | Tm_T: http://img.ctrlv.in/img/52330f72f063e.png | 13:13 |
| shivani | this is the screenshot of my vm | 13:13 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ikonia, anything I can read in the meantime so I won't waste time on facebook or such? regarding the wireless thing | 13:15 |
| shivani | Tm_T: any ideas? fixes? | 13:15 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: depends how much help you want | 13:16 |
| Wiz_KeeD | i won't run anything unless you instruct so, so far it looks good | 13:17 |
| blablabla | I turned personal when I start browsing with google chrome, a message appears saying that it can not be loaded. | 13:17 |
| Wiz_KeeD | i assume browsing won't break anything until you're available | 13:17 |
| Pessimist | shivani, http://askubuntu.com/questions/104695/how-do-i-change-mirrors-in-ubuntu-server-from-regional-to-main and http://askubuntu.com/questions/37753/how-can-i-get-apt-to-use-a-mirror-close-to-me-or-choose-a-faster-mirror. Basically it seems that there is a problem with your internet connection if you can ping google.com but you can't connect to ubuntu repos. | 13:17 |
| Tm_T | shivani: have you tried to ping the repositories it fails to connect to? | 13:18 |
| m113t | blablabla: what does the message say? can you browse youtube? | 13:18 |
| Pessimist | shivani, try editing your sources.list like in the second link (don't forget to change to the version you have) and try apt-get update | 13:18 |
| shivani | Pessimist: trying | 13:18 |
| shivani | Tm_T: nope | 13:18 |
| blablabla | I'll try youtube | 13:19 |
| blablabla | Take a few minutes | 13:19 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ikonia, Ubuntu 12.04 has experienced an internal error, I was just browsing... | 13:19 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I really fail to see what I did wrong now, just sudo apt-get install xchat, open firefox and open 2 articles and facebook... | 13:19 |
| BlitzHere | Hi all. So I just got a Dell Vostro 3560 with Ubuntu preinstalled | 13:20 |
| BlitzHere | It comes with 12.04 | 13:20 |
| m113t | xchat is 3rd party software? did he not tell you to not install third party software :S | 13:20 |
| blablabla | Unable to load Shockwave Flash. | 13:20 |
| blablabla | This is the message | 13:20 |
| BlitzHere | There appears to be some proprietary stuff in the preinstalled build | 13:20 |
| BlitzHere | Is it safe to upgrade to 12.10 and then to 13.04? | 13:20 |
| Tm_T | BlitzHere: should be AFAIK | 13:21 |
| Pessimist | BlitzHere, or just do a fresh install and save time | 13:21 |
| jhutchins | BlitzHere: Check with Dell support. They may have newer versions of proprietary driers if there are any. | 13:21 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ikonia, still there? | 13:21 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: yes | 13:22 |
| BlitzHere | jhutchins: I checked their repo. They don't have anything after precise | 13:22 |
| jhutchins | BlitzHere: make a backup so you can restore it if something breaks, or install the newer version to a new partition so you can boot back to the old one. | 13:22 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: can you detail the error | 13:22 |
| Wiz_KeeD | i just was because i opened the network menu | 13:23 |
| Wiz_KeeD | happens every time | 13:23 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: that maybe because it's trying to configure your wireless card and it's not in a position to be configured | 13:23 |
| BlitzHere | jhutchins, Pessimist: I'm currently running a live 13.10 off of a USB drive and some stuff like the brightness is broken. There might be other stuff broken too... | 13:24 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Could very well be, didn't think of that :\ one second until it shows the details | 13:24 |
| Wiz_KeeD | how do I share the details ikonia ? | 13:24 |
| BlitzHere | I default build had some more proprietary that made things work | 13:24 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Only when I close the window it comes up ikonia | 13:25 |
| Pessimist | BlitzHere, 13.10 is not yet released and expected to have bugs. If your default installation has some propertary drivers it's likely that they will brake the system once your upgrade to 12.10 and 13.04 because your kernel will get upgraded too | 13:25 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Do you think you can help out with the wireless driver and see if it comes back again? or tell me how I can share the details | 13:25 |
| m113t | Pessimist: i'm running 13.10, fyi it is reasonably stable. | 13:26 |
| Tm_T | m113t: it's still not supported or release-ready (: | 13:27 |
| BlitzHere | Pessimist: Thanks! That's what I was looking for! | 13:27 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: I said I will help you as soon as I'm finished what i'm doing | 13:27 |
| BlitzHere | Pessimist: I'll probably just upgrade and see what happens. Dell gives a recovery partition to restore to stock anyway | 13:27 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Don't want to be pushy but I can't stay for very long around the office, can you approximate, more or less? | 13:27 |
| === rvncerr is now known as Avrra | ||
| m113t | Tm_T: Do we know when it will be? | 13:28 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: I suggest you leave then and pick this up when you return to th eoffice. | 13:28 |
| Tm_T | m113t: when it's released, that is in next month | 13:28 |
| m113t | Tm_T: Will compiz be removed later for Mir, do you know anything about that? I get a 10 second delay after logging in before it shows my desktop | 13:29 |
| BlitzHere | Hmmm, I should have downloaded 13.04. I got 13.10 because unetbootin on 12.04 didn't have that option and I was too lazy to download the iso myself... :P | 13:29 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I am in the office, but can't stay here forever, and at Home have just wireless which means I won't be able to use ubuntu with ethernet, that's my worry | 13:29 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: then pick this up tomorrow when you come back to the office. | 13:29 |
| shivani | Tm_T: I still get this ->http://img.ctrlv.in/img/523313257cf2b.png ; after adding the lines in /etc/sources.txt | 13:29 |
| Pessimist | BlitzHere, not being able to change the brightness is a common thing people face: http://askubuntu.com/questions/28848/what-does-the-kernel-boot-parameter-set-acpi-osi-linux-do. I would save the output of "lspci -nn" somewhere and look online if you NEED to get any propertary drivers. Then you can download and read how to install them before installing ubuntu 13.04. | 13:29 |
| Wiz_KeeD | tommorow it's saturday, and I just reformatted my computer...damn | 13:29 |
| shivani | Pessimist: ^^ | 13:29 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: you just formatted the machine you are working on ? or a different computer ? | 13:30 |
| Wiz_KeeD | the machine i'm working on, i already lost 3 days of work and cannot afford one more | 13:30 |
| Wiz_KeeD | even if it's packed with errors every time I boot i literally can't spend more time on this at least now | 13:30 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: then don't spend any more time on it | 13:30 |
| BlitzHere | Pessimist: Thanks! I was hoping not to have to troubleshoot by buying a laptop with Ubuntu preinstalled.... | 13:30 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Then i'm forced to barell through using articles, sorry | 13:31 |
| Wiz_KeeD | thanks for your help | 13:31 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: if this is a business critical machine I have no idea why you are using an OS you cannot manage, just use something like Windows | 13:31 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I'll try to fix it myself | 13:31 |
| Wiz_KeeD | okay | 13:31 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: this is a crazy approach for a business critical machine | 13:31 |
| ikonia | (assuming you are confident using windows of course) | 13:31 |
| Wiz_KeeD | i'll just ask people here and try to fix it | 13:32 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: I very very very strongly advise against doing what you've done before | 13:32 |
| BlitzHere | Tm_T, Pessimist, jhutchins: Thanks! I'll factory reset, make a recovery disk and try upgrading from a clean install, just in case Dell's recovery partition doesn't work... | 13:32 |
| Pessimist | BlitzHere, if it has ubuntu preinstalled it's a good chance that is 'ubuntu certified' and should work oob: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/. As I've said, not being able to change brightness is a common thing | 13:32 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Guys, i'm firing up additional drivers to install wireless drivers | 13:32 |
| Wiz_KeeD | And it gives an error | 13:33 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: we are making good progress but you can't be running this machine like this if it is business critical, why are you using an OS you have no idea how to manage on a business critical machine | 13:33 |
| Wiz_KeeD | It's my personal laptop ikonia and i've worked on ubuntu for 2 years without any major problems since I didn't update, until i made that mistake | 13:33 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: is there a reason you are forcing ubuntu onto this machine if it's business critical | 13:33 |
| horrow | hello guys somebody can help me to configure program logkeys on ubuntu 13.04 64bit edition??? | 13:33 |
| Wiz_KeeD | other than that it was managable | 13:33 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: please please please, don't rush into this as you did before, your machine is working now - build on that | 13:34 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: no random guides, no random commands, no random software until wireless is working stable | 13:34 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I have done nothing except sudo apt-get install xchat | 13:34 |
| m113t | Does anyone know to mute a user in xChat? | 13:34 |
| ikonia | m113t: /ignore | 13:34 |
| m113t | ta | 13:34 |
| BlitzHere | Pessimist: I don't trust Ubuntu certified completely actually. I was looking at this thinkpad E530 which is apparently Ubuntu enabled but several sub models are not compatible... | 13:35 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Now i've opened additional drivers and I see Broadcom STA wireless driver that is not activated and the Activate button on the bottom right | 13:35 |
| Wiz_KeeD | This package contains Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireless driver for use with Broadcom's BCM4311-, BCM4312-, BCM4313-, BCM4321-, BCM4322-, BCM43224-, and BCM43225-, BCM43227- and BCM43228-based hardware. | 13:35 |
| === dean is now known as dean|away | ||
| BlitzHere | Anyway, the dell Vostro 3460 is Ubuntu certified. I have a Vostro 3560 which is a very similar model | 13:36 |
| === Venomen is now known as Venomen`off | ||
| Wiz_KeeD | does anyone advise to try to install wireless from that? | 13:37 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Or what is the proper way to attempt to install wireless drivers? | 13:38 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ikonia, can you provide a reasonable tutorial on steps to follow since reading forums and articles is not ok | 13:39 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: not at this time as I'm just finishing off some work | 13:40 |
| Wiz_KeeD | right | 13:40 |
| BlitzHere | Thnaks eveyone | 13:41 |
| BlitzHere | I'll figure stuff out and be back later | 13:41 |
| BlitzHere | exit | 13:41 |
| cutie | Wiz_KeeD: I can maybe walk you through installing your wireless drivers | 13:41 |
| cutie | Wiz_KeeD: I haven't been reading any problems you've been having though | 13:41 |
| Wiz_KeeD | that's mighty thoughfull of you cutie | 13:42 |
| Wiz_KeeD | or "cute" :) | 13:42 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I just tried installing the drivers via additional drivers in the ubuntu gui | 13:42 |
| Wiz_KeeD | By pressing activate and it errored out | 13:42 |
| blablabla | I try to watch videos on youtube and a message saying: Unable load Shockwave Flash. | 13:42 |
| cutie | Wiz_KeeD: What Ubuntu version are you on, and do you know what wireless card you have? | 13:42 |
| cutie | blablabla: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 13:42 |
| mernilio | Hi all! :-) | 13:43 |
| blablabla | I'll try that. | 13:43 |

| Mr_Mulll | hey guys i found a problem with my computer, and i was wondering who can help | 13:45 |
| nogier | slt | 13:45 |
| cutie | Wiz_KeeD: First do this: sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source | 13:45 |
| cutie | Ask your question, Mr_Mulll :) | 13:45 |
| Mr_Mulll | it's called "Windows" I need to get rid of it but i cant | 13:45 |
| mernilio | Mr_Mulll: sure, im the kingpin here! | 13:45 |
| Wiz_KeeD | cutie, it sais something about bcmwl-kernel-source and the log says http://pastie.org/8322829 | 13:45 |
| Wiz_KeeD | are you sure cutie? | 13:45 |
| ikonia | whoaaaaa | 13:45 |
| Luyin | Wiz_KeeD: there is a decent wiki, regretably in German: ubuntuusers.de. just found this one, but don't know it so can't say anything about its quality: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ | 13:45 |
| Mr_Mulll | whats the best linux distro? | 13:45 |
| ikonia | that should'nt be installed by default | 13:46 |
| cutie | Wiz_KeeD: Oh that was you | 13:46 |
| cutie | !best | Mr_Mulll | 13:46 |
| Wiz_KeeD | sorry? | 13:46 |
| ubottu | Mr_Mulll: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 13:46 |
| cutie | Wiz_KeeD: I saw your error earlier. Yes, do that apt-get remove | 13:46 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ok cutie, thank you, acting now | 13:46 |
| cutie | Wait Wiz_KeeD , you do have Internet on this machine? | 13:46 |
| Wiz_KeeD | cutie, through ethernet, yes | 13:47 |
| cutie | OK good | 13:47 |
| Wiz_KeeD | My additional drivers window won't close now | 13:47 |
| cutie | Wiz_KeeD: ignore it | 13:47 |
| cutie | Wiz_KeeD: sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer b43-fwcutter | 13:47 |
| Luyin | Mr_Mulll: if your computer can do it, try Ubuntu, Ubuntu Gnome or Kubuntu for starters. If it's a little older or you're not sure it can make the necessary performance, give Xubuntu or Lubuntu a try. If you like none of those, come back ;) | 13:47 |
| nogier | french ? | 13:47 |
| mernilio | Mr_Mulll: my answer is. If the distro is easy to install and everythings goes just fine, you will not learn anything. | 13:47 |
| cutie | !fr > NoNMaDDe_ | 13:48 |
| ubottu | NoNMaDDe_, please see my private message | 13:48 |
| cutie | sorry NoNMaDDe_ | 13:48 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ok cutie | 13:48 |
| Luyin | mernilio: you can learn enough to proceed with "only" a newbie-distro like Ubuntu imho | 13:48 |
| cutie | Wiz_KeeD: When you have done that, please tell me the output from the command: cat /etc/modprobe.d/* | egrep 'bcm' | 13:48 |
| Wiz_KeeD | One seccond | 13:48 |
| Mr_Mulll | oh come now | 13:48 |
| Wiz_KeeD | http://pastie.org/8322842 | 13:48 |
| Mr_Mulll | Luyin; i've previously used Ubuntu 10.x and 11.04, Unity ruined it | 13:49 |
| === beta is now known as Kristian29DK | ||
| mernilio | Luyin sure! if you dont dare the console. | 13:49 |
| blablabla | Tentando usar o youtube apareceu me a mensagem: Shockwave flash has crashed. | 13:49 |
| Luyin | Mr_Mulll: than use another DE. | 13:49 |
| Wiz_KeeD | cutie, now what? :( | 13:49 |
| blablabla | Trying to use youtube showed me the message: Shockwave flash has crashed. | 13:49 |
| cutie | Wiz_KeeD: sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-lpphy-installer | 13:49 |
| Mr_Mulll | i got ISOs for xubuntu here, made a bootable USB but it didn't get bootable | 13:49 |
| cutie | blablabla: What browser and Ubuntu version are you using? | 13:49 |
| Mr_Mulll | maybe do the whole syslinux -maf thingy again | 13:49 |
| cutie | Mr_Mulll: You don't have to do that any more, you can just dd it to the flash drive or use a tool like unetbootin | 13:50 |
| blablabla | Google Chrome and Xubuntu 13.4 | 13:50 |
| Luyin | mernilio: Ubuntu has become something of a linux distro for people with a fear for the console, yes. But that doesn't mean you can use it. Personally, I think that's great as a beginner: you can start slowly and see if working with a console is to your taste. | 13:50 |
| Wiz_KeeD | cutie, http://pastie.org/8322849 | 13:50 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Seems to have worked in the end but bumped into some issues | 13:50 |
| Mr_Mulll | 11.04 boots fine | 13:50 |
| cutie | Wiz_KeeD: I just need you to let me know the output of cat /etc/modprobe.d/* | egrep 'bcm' | 13:51 |
| shivani | is it possible to make a bootable usb in ubuntu ? | 13:51 |
| Mr_Mulll | god damnit! told you windows is a problem, crap keeps freezing | 13:51 |
| shivani | anyone knows the how to part of this ? | 13:51 |
| Wiz_KeeD | blacklist bcm43xx | 13:51 |
| Wiz_KeeD | it's blacklisted | 13:51 |
| Luyin | shivani: of course, see unetbootin | 13:51 |
| cutie | shivani: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu | 13:51 |
| Mr_Mulll | shivani; very possible ; pendrivelinux.com | 13:52 |
| shivani | Thanks a ton guys :) | 13:52 |
| Luyin | and I gather there's an onboard tool for that, too, in ubuntu | 13:52 |
| Luyin | forgot its name, however | 13:52 |
| cutie | Wiz_KeeD: can you now do: gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | 13:52 |
| Wiz_KeeD | yes | 13:52 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I could do it with vim also, should i comment that line or smth? | 13:52 |
| cutie | Wiz_KeeD: Find the line that says "blacklist bcm43xx" and put a # in front of it so it says #blacklist bcm43xx | 13:52 |
| cutie | Wiz_KeeD: You know it doesn't matter what text editor you use ;) | 13:53 |
| blablabla | Using Chrome on my Xubuntu 13.4 I can not use youtube, can someone help me, off course Batman? | 13:53 |
| mernilio | Luyin Agreed! I have never tried ubuntu myself, but like you say, beginners need a Linux OS, that "just works" from the first boot. | 13:53 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I do, it's commented cutie | 13:53 |
| sakshi | Hi all :) I'm faceing problems in installing Turbo C++ on ubuntu 12.04. | 13:53 |
| sakshi | *facing | 13:53 |
| Luyin | mernilio: what distro are you using? | 13:53 |
| cutie | OK Wiz_KeeD now reboot and say a prayer to the wifi driver gods | 13:53 |
| Wiz_KeeD | why is this the output of the same command as before? #blacklist bcm43xx | 13:54 |
| Wiz_KeeD | blacklist bcm43xx | 13:54 |
| Wiz_KeeD | why the one without the hash? | 13:54 |
| mernilio | Luyin, i have used Slackware since 1994, but im prolly banned from their irc channel for life... ;-) | 13:54 |
| cutie | Wiz_KeeD: Open that file again and double-double check there's a # in front of the correct line | 13:54 |
| cutie | Wiz_KeeD: You don't want to blacklist something impoortant | 13:54 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I did that, it is | 13:55 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I don't know why the output of that command shows the hashed one and unhashed one | 13:55 |
| Luyin | mernilio: nice, I've got VectorLinux on my second notebook, which is slackware-based. Like it a lot, very stable and despite being more advanced than ubuntu or mint easily managable :) | 13:55 |
| freddo | !list | 13:55 |
| ubottu | freddo: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». | 13:55 |
| Kartagis | how do I change the language? it turned to Japanese and I can't read it | 13:55 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ok it's surely commented | 13:56 |
| Wiz_KeeD | reboot and that's it cutie? | 13:56 |
| mernilio | Luyin: Vectorlinux seems nice! I actually burned a copy, but i cant remember if i installed it. | 13:56 |
| defaultro | hi folks, to install apache, command is apt-get install https right? | 13:57 |
| defaultro | httpd | 13:57 |
| Luyin | mernilio: perhaps to discuss that further we should query not to flood the channel with OT-stuff | 13:57 |
| mrrcp | ubuntu is the shiznet! | 13:57 |
| Base-Dev | defaultro, yes | 13:57 |
| defaultro | thanks | 13:57 |
| mernilio | Luyin: no problem! | 13:57 |
| Base-Dev | defaultro, sudp apt-get install apache2 | 13:57 |
| Base-Dev | defaultro, *sudo | 13:58 |
| defaultro | how does it differ from https? | 13:58 |
| defaultro | my god, this irc client keeps correcting my spelling | 13:58 |
| defaultro | it's Colloquy client | 13:58 |
| defaultro | how is Apache2 different from httpd? Or do they install the same stuff? | 13:58 |
| Base-Dev | !offtopic | defaultro | 13:58 |
| ubottu | defaultro: #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! | 13:58 |
| === wiz is now known as Wiz_KeeD | ||
| defaultro | Base-Dev: you suggested Apache2 and now you're saying i'm off topic | 13:59 |
| Wiz_KeeD | cutie, now it shows on the top right Enable Wireless but it does not detect any network | 13:59 |
| Base-Dev | defaultro, u just asked | 13:59 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Same as I did before when I managed to hack it into working or something | 13:59 |
| defaultro | I asked because of both apt-get parameters were different | 13:59 |
| defaultro | I'm assuming that httpd will install Apache 1.x while Apache2 is the latest one | 14:00 |
| Wiz_KeeD | cutie? | 14:01 |
| Base-Dev | defaultro, please ask in #httpd | 14:01 |
| compdoc | I told you never to call me that in here | 14:02 |
| daftykins | compdoc: what's wrong cutie? | 14:03 |
| daftykins | :> | 14:03 |
| Base-Dev | defaultro, Ok, so u want so install httpd ok, then do that, sorry for that. | 14:03 |
| compdoc | heh | 14:03 |
| defaultro | yup but just wanted to know if apt-get install httpd will install 1.x or the latest | 14:03 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: I have a break - where are you up to ? are you managing ? | 14:04 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Can someone please tell me how to see my wireless networks? | 14:04 |
| Slagwag | lets say i want to dual boot. i always run into problems modifying the boot config so that when I restart my computer that it boots into linux by default but i want to boot into windows primary on one computer. are other boot loaders recommended? | 14:04 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ikonia, cutie was nice enough to provide support into installing the wireless drivers | 14:04 |
| Wiz_KeeD | It's detected but the networks are not showing up at all | 14:04 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: not displaying broadcast networks has been a broadcom glitch before | 14:04 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: can you enter the details manually and connect ? | 14:05 |
| Wiz_KeeD | if you would be kind enough to tell me how | 14:05 |
| rypervenche | defaultro: httpd and apache2 are teh same thing, just different names depending on which distro you use. | 14:05 |
| nightdrever | i think i have too many start up items ?? can someine check i dont know which ones i can disable?? | 14:05 |
| defaultro | got it. Thanks rypervenche | 14:05 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: isn't there an option to define networks ? | 14:05 |
| nightdrever | http://imageshack.us/f/708/wyf5.png/ | 14:05 |
| nightdrever | http://imageshack.us/f/12/mxlw.png/ | 14:05 |
| Base-Dev | defaultro, httpd will install differant packages | 14:06 |
| defaultro | oh | 14:06 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ikonia, Create new wireless network? | 14:06 |
| Base-Dev | !find httpd | defaultro | 14:06 |
| ubottu | defaultro: Found: apache2-mpm-event, apache2-mpm-prefork, apache2-mpm-worker, libapache2-mod-wsgi, aolserver4-core, aolserver4-daemon, apache2-mpm-itk, boa, bozohttpd, ebhttpd (and 31 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=httpd&searchon=names&suite=raring§ion=all | 14:06 |
| defaultro | cool | 14:07 |
| Wiz_KeeD | at least the steps to install the software were ok ikonia ? | 14:07 |
| defaultro | !find apache2 | 14:07 |
| ubottu | Found: apache2, apache2-doc, apache2-mpm-event, apache2-mpm-prefork, apache2-mpm-worker, apache2-prefork-dev, apache2-threaded-dev, apache2-utils, apache2.2-bin, apache2.2-common (and 98 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=apache2&searchon=names&suite=raring§ion=all | 14:07 |
| Base-Dev | defaultro, I never tried installing httpd though, its always apache2 | 14:07 |
| defaultro | k | 14:07 |
| cutie | Sorry Wiz_KeeD this isn't my main IRC client/account and I don't have a hilight log; I've been afk for 15 minutes. Did it work after reboot? | 14:08 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: that's the idea, create a wirless network | 14:08 |
| === dean|away is now known as dean | ||
| Wiz_KeeD | thank you for your support so far cutie! | 14:08 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I've managed to connect to the wireless network manually | 14:08 |
| jhutchins | The httpd virtual package is essentially a marker that other packages looking for any webeserver can look for. All of the packaged web servers will mark it as installed. | 14:08 |
| Wiz_KeeD | And now it shows all the others... | 14:08 |
| Wiz_KeeD | :\ | 14:08 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Wierd? | 14:09 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: ok, so it appears it's just the old broadcast bug | 14:09 |
| cutie | Wiz_KeeD: ha yeah that | 14:09 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: that's an old bug that I thought had gone away | 14:09 |
| Wiz_KeeD | broadcom never fails to impress aparently | 14:09 |
| cutie | It's like being back on 6.06 ;) | 14:09 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Now what will happen? | 14:09 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: that's it - you're up and working | 14:09 |
| cutie | Wiz_KeeD: Honestly, if it's currently working, I would leave it well alone | 14:09 |
| Wiz_KeeD | What happens when I shut down my laptop and go home, i have to manually connect every time? | 14:09 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: reboot, see if it re-connects, see if it shows broadcast network, but you are "working" as far as I can see | 14:09 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: no, it should remember and auto reconnect | 14:10 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: try it | 14:10 |
| Wiz_KeeD | remember this network to auto-connect, what about at home? | 14:10 |
| cutie | Wiz_KeeD: No, it will save your manual connection, assuming you set it up in network manager | 14:10 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: do you have a different SID / network at home | 14:10 |
| Wiz_KeeD | yep | 14:10 |
| cutie | Wiz_KeeD: There's nothing different about a manually defined wireless network to one it detected | 14:10 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: then it will either show it broadcasting, or you'll manually have to enter the details | 14:10 |
| cutie | Wiz_KeeD: Either it'll detect your network and let you connect to it, or you'll have to set your home one up manually once | 14:10 |
| Wiz_KeeD | it's rather uncomfortable but no biggie if it works | 14:11 |
| ikonia | it's 10 seconds work - once | 14:11 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I remember my brother setting up my wireless drivers last time and it connected and saw connections everytime | 14:11 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: broadcom is a moving target sadly | 14:11 |
| Wiz_KeeD | What if I go to airports and such and need to search for wireless netoworks, see what's available and connect to them? | 14:11 |
| Base-Dev | is intel graphics dropping mir support? | 14:12 |
| Wiz_KeeD | and i don't have my phone to tell me the encription and names | 14:12 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: you may have to see if iwcan can pick them up to give it a kick start, but hopefully it should now work | 14:12 |
| ikonia | Base-Dev: yes | 14:12 |
| ikonia | iwscan sorry | 14:12 |
| Wiz_KeeD | rebooting, brb | 14:12 |
| Base-Dev | ikonia, so we have to use xorg? | 14:12 |
| ikonia | Base-Dev: see what happens.... | 14:12 |
| Base-Dev | ikonia, ok | 14:12 |

| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: does it not auto connect to your manually configured network ? | 14:16 |
| Wiz_KeeD | no ikonia , and doesn't show the other networks either | 14:16 |
| sabret00the | trijntje: 13.10, it's had the same apps since installation (13.04). Libre Writer, Text Editor, Ubuntu One, Firefox, Help, etc | 14:17 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I just see the empty wireless simbol on top and see Wireless Enabled, nothing else | 14:17 |
| trijntje | sabret00the: you mean the side bar? | 14:17 |
| Wiz_KeeD | talk about rotten luck... | 14:17 |
| Wiz_KeeD | now what... | 14:18 |
| sabret00the | trijntje: nope, I mean the full screen thing after you click the home/ubuntu button | 14:18 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: out of interest, configure it again, does it work and do the other networks become visible again | 14:19 |
| trijntje | sabret00the: no, you can only pin programs to the side bar, and use the keyboard/mouse to navigate the full screen Dash | 14:19 |
| Base-Dev | Wiz_KeeD, do you have the drivers? | 14:19 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Base-Dev, ikonia and cutie helped me get them | 14:20 |
| Base-Dev | Wiz_KeeD, ok | 14:20 |
| Pessimist | How is the package called that installs firefox plugin that enables unity webapps that allows me to integrate various websites with unity? | 14:20 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ikonia, there might be a slight miscommunication here: Initially I went to networking->wireless->connect to network and typed the wi-fi here with encryption password etc | 14:20 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: so not the icon in the top right ? | 14:20 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Now I click on top right and created a new wireless network that I connected to but the others do not show up | 14:21 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: I'm going to have a quick scan on the boardcom docs and see if there is any info on this bug re-appearing | 14:21 |
| sabret00the | trijntje: If I need to go into the full screen dash and search for the same applications over and over, then surely it's not actually helping me. It's hindering me. Especially given that I'll never need nor use six of the default applications there with any regularity. That's shockingly bad. | 14:21 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ikonia, this is what I should have done in the first place? create a new on on the top right and connect to it? (although this is an abstract notion to me how you can create your own wireless network and connect to it) | 14:22 |
| trijntje | sabret00the: you can pin the programs you need on the side bar | 14:22 |
| trijntje | sabret00the: are you sure you are using version 13.10, that has not been released yet and is not stable | 14:22 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: doesn't matter to be honest, | 14:23 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: but it's interesting to see the different behaviour | 14:23 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ikonia, now i have disconnected from my created wireless network and all the others showed up including my created one... | 14:23 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: reboot - see if they are still present/your saved one is present | 14:23 |
| cutie | Wiz_KeeD: Honestly, quit while you're ahead | 14:23 |
| Wiz_KeeD | what does that mean cutie ? | 14:23 |
| sabret00the | trinjntje: I have applications pinned to the side bar, however there are applications I don't require pinned there but use regularly. I'd like access to them more so than Libre Writer which I've yet to open on this machine. And yes, I done update-manager -d | 14:24 |
| Wiz_KeeD | okay ikonia | 14:24 |
| cutie | Wiz_KeeD: It means, if it works, leave it | 14:25 |
| trijntje | sabret00the: I'm using 13.04 and the Dash shows most recently used applications. If you want, you can open the menu using Super/Windows + A, that should show more applications | 14:25 |
| trijntje | otherwise, check if zeitgeist is enabled, that is the service that should keep track of recently used files an programs. Go to system settings -> privacy | 14:26 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ikonia, exact same behaviour.I'd like to add just before it logs in I see on the right the wireless tab saying Diconnected from network | 14:27 |
| sabret00the | trijntje: Thanks, that's turned off and must be the cause of my issues. I'll turn it on and hopefully I can get the right programs to bubble up. | 14:27 |
| Wiz_KeeD | But still no wireless networks to be seen | 14:27 |
| trijntje | sabret00the: did you disable it or was it off by default? If it was by default, you should file a bug | 14:28 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: what is dissapointing | 14:28 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ikonia, sorry? | 14:29 |
| sabret00the | trijntje: It seems like something I would've done in an overzealous bid to disable the Amazon stuff back when I first reinstalled Ubuntu. | 14:29 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: that it's not holding your connection or listing available networks | 14:29 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I hear that | 14:29 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: the bugs show this was only really a big issue with the old fw-cutter stuff | 14:29 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I wouldn't know what to say or add at this point... | 14:29 |
| === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off | ||
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: a little research is needed a I feel, I'm having a look around now, it's a little tricky with broadcom though for obvious reasons | 14:30 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: you have a working solution - although not idea, hang with it for the moment | 14:30 |
| Wiz_KeeD | this is preffered over 3rd party solutions or opensource drivers ikonia ? | 14:30 |
| Wiz_KeeD | If I go to additional drivers the one that Ubuntu suggests is still not activated, what is that any way? | 14:31 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: it depends on a.) the results of those solutions b.) what those solutions do | 14:31 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: they are not active as you've disabled them | 14:31 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: they are basically the popritary modules | 14:31 |
| cutie | Wiz_KeeD: You rememebr the first package I asked you to install, and it gave errors so I asked you to install a different one? | 14:31 |
| cutie | Wiz_KeeD: It was trying to install the first one, but failing on that error. | 14:31 |
| ikonia | cutie: which driver do you actually use in the end with Wiz_KeeD ? | 14:32 |
| ikonia | I missed part of the conversation | 14:32 |
| JuJuBee | I have a server that I use webmin on to do remote management. For some reason the users and groups module does not contain any users that have ID above 1000. Any ideas? I tried #webmin, but no response in several hours. Pretty dead channel | 14:32 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: webmin is dead / unsupported on ubuntu | 14:32 |
| sabret00the | thanks again trijntje. | 14:33 |
| genii | JuJuBee: Webmin was removed from Ubuntu | 14:33 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I can give you the history or my bash ikonia | 14:33 |
| JuJuBee | Why removed? | 14:33 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: its fine cutir can respond | 14:33 |
| DJones | !webmin | JuJuBee | 14:33 |
| ubottu | JuJuBee: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 14:33 |
| trijntje | sabret00the: you're welcome | 14:33 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: bad tool, security holes, parts not compatible | 14:33 |
| JuJuBee | Oh... | 14:34 |
| genii | JuJuBee: The preferred interface is ebox/zentyal | 14:34 |
| JuJuBee | Too bad, I like it | 14:34 |
| ellipsis753 | Hello. I've got an Ubuntu server on a cloud VPS. I'm charged for all bandwidth I use above a certain threshold. Can I have my website shutdown and warn me if the bandwidth usage gets too high? | 14:34 |
| JuJuBee | I will look into those genii, thanks | 14:34 |
| Johnny_Linux | i gotta hand it ti ikonia , he sure is on top of what software does what. | 14:34 |
| cutie | ikonia: installing firmware-b43-installer failed with an error including the line: Use b43 LP-PHY firmware (firmware-b43-lpphy-installer package) instead. So we did that :) | 14:34 |
| ikonia | cutie: thats interesting so that package actually failed, pointing you at a different package | 14:35 |
| ikonia | cutie: that's something I feel needs a little bit of research as that sounds a bit odd/sloppy | 14:35 |
| trijntje | ellipsis753: You'll probably have to write a script to do that yourself | 14:36 |
| cutie | ikonia: The real problem is that Jockey isn't correctly detecting his card, or its suggesting the wrong module | 14:36 |
| ikonia | cutie: yes, the detection is probably failing, I see what you're saying | 14:37 |
| JuJuBee | genii is one better than the other? | 14:37 |
| Wiz_KeeD | i've seen some jockey-kde errors in the log | 14:37 |
| Wiz_KeeD | cutie, I can try to install that again and paste the logs? | 14:37 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: kde ? | 14:37 |
| ellipsis753 | trijntje, Ok. Thank you. It's not a common request then? How could I find out how much bandwidth has been used already? | 14:37 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: I thought this was ubuntu | 14:37 |
| Wiz_KeeD | maybe i'm wrong sorry | 14:37 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: is it ubuntu or kubuntu | 14:37 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ubuntu, sorry | 14:38 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: is there kde errors or not ? | 14:38 |
| Wiz_KeeD | http://pastie.org/8322960 | 14:38 |
| Wiz_KeeD | it's from /var/log/jockey.log | 14:38 |
| Wiz_KeeD | with cat | 14:38 |
| jhutchins | ellipsis753: Your provider should have a monitoring utility that tells you how much bandwidth you've used. | 14:38 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: don't see anything about kde | 14:38 |
| genii | JuJuBee: Zentyal is just the commercial version of ebox | 14:39 |
| Wiz_KeeD | it was my mistake, bad memory | 14:39 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: no problem, remeber though, try to only say "fact" - not memory/guessing | 14:39 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: it adds confusion and can lead to the wrong info | 14:39 |
| Wiz_KeeD | agreed, sorry | 14:40 |
| Wiz_KeeD | now what :( | 14:40 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Shall we try to install the proprietary drivers? | 14:40 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: research before rushing in | 14:40 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: I'm having a prod - you've got a solution that allows you to work and buy time | 14:40 |
| trijntje | ellipsis753: I used to have a script to do that, but I can find it | 14:40 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Those were suggested from the get-go no? | 14:40 |
| Wiz_KeeD | prod? | 14:41 |
| cutie | poke, stab, the ol' college try | 14:41 |
| Wiz_KeeD | :)) | 14:41 |
| Wiz_KeeD | cutie, wouldn't trying to install the proprietary drivers and checking the logs + fixing be a good solution? | 14:42 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: yes, from my view they have worked better in some instances, but it varies from case to case. | 14:42 |
| Marlenee | how i search using "grep" to grep word from large files and sub folder like i search in all "/" path ? | 14:42 |
| Wiz_KeeD | we can always revert to this one if it's worse ikonia ? | 14:42 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: well, yes, but it requirs some planning | 14:43 |
| Wiz_KeeD | pfuu | 14:43 |
| ikonia | ? | 14:43 |
| cutie | Marlenee: find /path/ -type f | xargs grep "foo" | 14:43 |
| cutie | Marlenee: I use a similar pattern to that multiple times a day | 14:43 |
| Wiz_KeeD | You think we can do it ikonia ? | 14:44 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: sure it can be done, but remember the "not rushing in" part | 14:44 |
| Wiz_KeeD | btw ikonia your hunch was right, now opening/closing the network does not error anymore they were most likely connected | 14:45 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: as I said, you have a working solution at the moment which buys you some time while a little research is done | 14:45 |
| JuJuBee | genii also seems zentyal won't work with 13.04... | 14:45 |
| Wiz_KeeD | that is true yes, at least i'm not handcuffed | 14:45 |
| Wiz_KeeD | But the time I have i need to spend working which means I need to install software like bzr, python libraries, skype, dropbox | 14:45 |
| Wiz_KeeD | all of which come from standard repositories (except skype) | 14:46 |
| Wiz_KeeD | You say that I should not install applications even from the standard repositories until this is fully fixed ikonia ? | 14:47 |
| IamTrying | Which WebCam do you use for 13.04/ 13.10 64-bit? Where i need 24/7 camera capture. I used one which is crashing Ubuntu 7/7 | 14:48 |

| IamTrying | Which one is reliable and stable for Ubuntu USB cameras? is there any recommend hardware list? | 14:48 |
| Wiz_KeeD | i'm making a list now ikonia : sudo apt-get install bzr poedit vim | 14:49 |
| Wiz_KeeD | so far | 14:49 |

| cutie | JuJuBee: What Ubuntu version are you using? | 14:50 |
| ellipsis753 | trijntje, Thank you. It's fine, I can make a script. It seems that digitalocean doesn't let me find out how much bandwidth is used yet but apparently a program called vnstat can do that instead. Thank you for your help. :) | 14:50 |

| Monday | hi cutie so how cute are you? pix :P | 14:54 |
| JuJuBee | cutie: installer wants https port. If I already have https site should I choose another port or is it ok to use 443 for zentyal also? | 14:54 |
| cutie | JuJuBee: You must choose another port, they can't both use 433 | 14:54 |
| cutie | JuJuBee: I'd recommend you change zentyal's port rather than http, since web browsers expect https on port 443 | 14:55 |
| JuJuBee | does port # matter? | 14:55 |
| Monday | cutie yeah basically it says it can't connect to the adobe server, i tried the flashplugin-installer with synaptic and termamina both can't connect, i'm using 12.04 | 14:55 |
| cutie | JuJuBee: No, as long as its not being used. Use something high, like 10000 or 8080 or 4040 | 14:55 |

| maul | 12.04 | 15:15 |
| === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM | ||

| Wiz_KeeD | still there cutie ? | 15:16 |
| maul | cutie: i did install it that way. | 15:16 |
| cutie | maul: What makes you think it isn't starting at boot? | 15:16 |
| cutie | maul: Is it just that you can't connect to it? | 15:16 |
| maul | cutie: i cant ssh in and service ssh status shows fail | 15:17 |
| maul | and once i run service ssh start i can ssh in | 15:17 |
| cutie | OK that's pretty conclusive | 15:17 |
| cutie | maul: did you do sudo update-rc.d ssh defaults | 15:18 |
| maul | yes, but as root so no sudo | 15:18 |
| Wiz_KeeD | oh I got to get my ssh key sas well, forgot | 15:18 |

| Pessimist | why some programs have different scroll bars that look like windows 98 ones? For example, skype? And how do you fix this? | 15:24 |

| maul | *normal | 15:25 |
| cutie | Pessimist: That depends on the graphical toolkit that was used to develop the application. You can't "fix" it | 15:25 |
| maul | not cool cuz the shits not working. but | 15:25 |
| cutie | maul: You don't have to do the update default, if you do "sudo apt-get install --reinstall openssh-server" it will start at boot | 15:25 |

| ch01a | also, is there a planned support for this kernel? | 15:34 |
| cutie | ch01a: it'll be 3.11 | 15:34 |
| Ari-Yang | ch01a, no I think it will have 3.11.... | 15:34 |
| defaultro | maybe I can choose Server install since I am mimicking Amazon's Ubuntu images | 15:34 |

| subcool | i thought it was more complicated | 15:38 |
| cutie | hs366: You need to mount the filesystem on the partition, to a mountpoint. Then you browse the mount point | 15:38 |
| hs366 | ok | 15:39 |

| Hubbadubba | Hubbadubba & Hello, does anyone know anything about iptables and C++, in Ubuntu 13.10? | 16:00 |
| unknown101 | How can i fix a usb keyboard that doesn't support ubuntu??(drivers) | 16:00 |
| ikonia | unknown101: its rare that a keyboard won't work | 16:01 |
| ikonia | unknown101: is it a special keyboard ? | 16:01 |
| defaultro | so apt-get -y install apache2 will install apache without any prompts | 16:02 |
| unknown101 | well at the begin it worked (i dual booted ubuntu with windows) after i single boot ubuntu and its not working | 16:02 |
| unknown101 | i formatted my computer and single bootted ubuntu | 16:02 |
| ikonia | unknown101: the fact that it works suggests it's not a "driver" problem, | 16:03 |
| ikonia | unknown101: do things like caps lock light come on /off | 16:03 |
| unknown101 | the keyboard is a professional keyboard gaming keyboard and it has the letter light | 16:03 |
| unknown101 | (if you can type its on if not its off) | 16:04 |
| jihad | jihad | 16:04 |
| ikonia | unknown101: does it like up | 16:04 |
| unknown101 | nope | 16:04 |
| ikonia | light even | 16:04 |
| ikonia | unknown101: it's usb right ? | 16:04 |
| unknown101 | yes | 16:04 |
| ikonia | unknown101: ok, so it sounds like one of two things | 16:04 |
| unknown101 | i am using the other keyboard right now with my other keyboard | 16:04 |
| ikonia | unknown101: 1.) the keyboard is broken 2.) the usb ports on your ubuntu machine are not working | 16:04 |
| ikonia | unknown101: can you prove/disprove either of those ? | 16:05 |
| jihad | haha:P | 16:05 |
| unknown101 | the keyboard is almost brand new | 16:05 |
| ikonia | unknown101: brand new doesn't mean it's not broken | 16:05 |
| unknown101 | and it stopped working after i single bootted ubuntu | 16:05 |
| unknown101 | so its not working | 16:05 |
| ikonia | that could just be a co-incidence as it was working with ubuntu | 16:05 |
| ikonia | unknown101: can you try it in a different machine | 16:05 |
| unknown101 | no :( | 16:05 |
| ikonia | unknown101: as it sounds like you are using a different keyboard with ubuntu now so that means the usb ports are working | 16:05 |
| unknown101 | yes | 16:05 |
| unknown101 | its plugged in the same port | 16:06 |
| unknown101 | the other was | 16:06 |
| ikonia | unknown101: so it sounds like the keyboard may have had a failure | 16:06 |
| defaultro | which is preferred way of installing Apache, apt-get or tasked? | 16:06 |
| defaultro | taskel | 16:06 |
| ikonia | defaultro: doesn't matter | 16:06 |
| jhutchins | unknown101: Look for a "legacy USB or Legacy Keyboard" setting in your bios. | 16:06 |
| defaultro | what about if LAMP | 16:06 |
| unknown101 | ok let me reboot | 16:06 |
| unknown101 | BRB | 16:06 |
| ikonia | defaultro: what about it ? | 16:06 |
| defaultro | is taskel easier to use? | 16:07 |
| ikonia | defaultro: it's up to you, do you find it easier to use ? | 16:07 |
| defaultro | i need it to be fully automatated | 16:07 |
| ikonia | defaultro: it's just installing a few packages, it's the same thing | 16:07 |
| defaultro | i've only tried apt-get -y | 16:07 |
| ikonia | defaultro: it's which ever method YOU like and find easier | 16:07 |
| defaultro | ikonia: I'm writing a script that will install LAMP | 16:07 |
| ikonia | so ? | 16:07 |
| ikonia | that doesn't change anything | 16:08 |
| defaultro | ok | 16:08 |
| defaultro | so I guess, if apt-get, there will be more commands than taskel | 16:08 |
| jhutchins | defaultro: There is no "LAMP". | 16:08 |
| defaultro | i'm not sure if taskel is old. It's first time i heard it | 16:08 |

| defaultro | but if apt-get, I'll have apt-get https, mysql-server, php, etc | 16:09 |
| ikonia | jihad: this isnothing to do with ubuntu, so please don't comment on it | 16:10 |

| genii | adac: Might want to run testparm on the host machine to see if your config is OK | 16:13 |
| ikonia | defaultro: you can uninstall just fine, they are just packages | 16:14 |
| defaultro | ikonia: using tasksel to uninstall or using apt-get remove? | 16:14 |
| ikonia | defaultro: you'll need to use apt-get | 16:15 |
| defaultro | oh ok | 16:15 |
| defaultro | so how will i find out the applications that tasksel will install like when installing lamp-server? It's a combination of different apps | 16:15 |
| adac | genii, testparm seems to be fine: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6552748 I can also mount the share via the user. Only with the guest user it doesn't seem to be possible to mount it. But it should. | 16:15 |

| Wiz_KeeD | ikonia, still there? | 16:17 |
| BluesKaj | !aptitude | 16:17 |
| ubottu | 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. | 16:17 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: yes | 16:18 |

| ajay__ | i need to find some networking program already installed on my system how could i ???????????? | 16:18 |
| defaultro | I was researching how to remove lamp-server installed by tasksel | 16:18 |
| ikonia | ajay__: which program ? | 16:18 |
| BluesKaj | defaultro, all package managers use dpkg | 16:18 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I have arrived home, the wireless did not start and neither did going to networking and typing in the network manually worked, I had to create a new wireless conection, disconnect then go to networking and type. it's really strange | 16:18 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: it seems like the card is not initialising properly until you make a connection | 16:19 |
| defaultro | BluesKaj: so how do we figure out what packages are installed using this command? sudo tasksel install lamp-server | 16:19 |
| Wiz_KeeD | i also saw a usb error on boot ikonia :( | 16:19 |
| Wiz_KeeD | brb see if i can snapshot it | 16:20 |
| defaultro | is it possible to specify a date with dpkg --get-selections? | 16:20 |
| ajay__ | ikonia : i dont know program but i wanna search program related to networking installed in my system. | 16:20 |
| ikonia | ajay__: it doens't work like that if you don't know the name of the program | 16:20 |
| defaultro | like dpkg --get-selections --only-show-installed-today | 16:20 |
| ikonia | ajay__: open software center and look in the networking groups | 16:20 |
| BluesKaj | defaultro, using that command will either ask to install the pkg or show it's already installed | 16:20 |

See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge | 16:21 |
| ikonia | Monday: be aware though, people will probably ignore your support requests once you start using PPA's | 16:21 |

| defaultro | the other one I found uses apt-get remove | 16:24 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ikonia, the error did not display on boot once more but the problem persists | 16:24 |
| ikonia | Monday: blindly updatin for a bigger version number is a big risk | 16:24 |
| defaultro | so which is a better approach, remove or purge? | 16:25 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: I'm not surprised, I don't expect it to magically start working | 16:25 |

| defaultro | ikonia: can't find any thing related to response file in tasksel | 16:51 |
| ikonia | defaultro: it's not tasksel - it's a debian package install response file | 16:51 |
| defaultro | ho | 16:51 |
| defaultro | oh | 16:51 |
| defaultro | so since it's mysql related, i should search for mysql response file | 16:52 |
| ikonia | defaultro: no | 16:52 |
| ikonia | defaultro: it's not mysql related | 16:52 |
| defaultro | what should I search for? | 16:52 |
| ikonia | defaultro: it's debian package releated, the package just happens to be mysql | 16:52 |
| defaultro | debian package response file | 16:52 |

| abradley | daftykins, sudo apt-get update doesn't update anything | 16:58 |
| myth | i want a code to get feed from the facebook and twitter in hadoop | 16:58 |

| EvilPanda | duplicate* | 16:58 |
| abradley | oh. thanks for the input. | 16:59 |
| abradley | any idea what dist needs to be updated? | 16:59 |

| daftykins | abradley: you'll need a restart after it's done too. for the thing you're installing though, are you sure that's the best way to do it? do they not have a guide that might explain what's going wrong? it looks like it's trying to run java from within the extracted folder | 17:02 |

| Baohuahuauhw | HI, what is wrong with this command: netstat -at | grep '*.*.*.*' ? | 17:37 |
| ikonia | Baohuahuauhw: nothing | 17:38 |
| Baohuahuauhw | Why i dont receive any IPs? | 17:39 |
| ikonia | Baohuahuauhw: because you are grepping for * - not IP's | 17:39 |
| ikonia | Baohuahuauhw: it's matching the "*" | 17:39 |

| Tigger__ | no worries ikonia :) | 17:41 |
| Baohuahuauhw | any alternate way? Im using C++, so \ sign doesnt work | 17:41 |
| ikonia | Baohuahuauhw: not really as it can't know what numbers are IP and what are just numbers | 17:41 |
| ikonia | Baohuahuauhw: you could try to use regex | 17:41 |
| Baohuahuauhw | regex is ubuntu command? | 17:41 |
| ikonia | Tigger__: Hmm, I'm wondering it the e2fs complaints is in a package depend (I don't think so) or within the local apt database | 17:42 |
| ikonia | Baohuahuauhw: no, it's "regular expression" | 17:42 |
| ikonia | Baohuahuauhw: look at grep -x [regex] | 17:42 |

| Baohuahuauhw | ok thx | 17:43 |
| joelwallis | How is possible to debug these type of things? | 17:43 |

| ikonia | unknown101: so it works in the bios - but fails in ubuntu ?? | 17:47 |
| unknown101 | yes ikonia we were talking before | 17:47 |
| unknown101 | i had internet problems | 17:47 |
| ikonia | unknown101: and you've checked it currently works in the bios - this isn't "used" to work inthe bios, this is currently works in the bios | 17:47 |
| Tigger__ | ikonia: ok, thank you very much for your help, I will try and let you know what happens :) | 17:48 |
| unknown101 | bios settings are fine | 17:48 |

| unknown101 | ubuntu's problem | 17:48 |
| ikonia | unknown101: no - I didn't ask if the bios settings where fine, I asked if the keyboard works "now" in the bios | 17:48 |

| hays | im getting a laptop with ubuntu preloaded. what's the easiest way to nuke this and put on xubuntu | 17:52 |
| ikonia | hays: download xubuntu - burn cd, boot cd, install xubuntu | 17:53 |
| trism | Sylenthemp: it is the epoch, see the Version section of: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html | 17:53 |
| daftykins | s/cd/USB/ | 17:53 |
| hays | ikonia: so its best to start over | 17:53 |
| ikonia | hays: up to you | 17:53 |
| ikonia | hays: we have no idea what's on it or it's config | 17:53 |
| hays | hmm well i don't know either.. its whatever the ASUS EEEs ship with i think | 17:54 |
| mfaroukg | when I loaded the nvidia driver on the ubuntu and unity is not loaded. how to fix? | 17:54 |
| ikonia | hays: so it's up to you, trust their build/dont | 17:54 |
| hays | is there a way to strip out ubuntu and load xubuntu without starting over? | 17:54 |
| unknown101 | iko sorry internet problems(my provider is updating) | 17:55 |
| unknown101 | did you find anything? | 17:55 |
| ikonia | unknown101: I'm waiting for the keyboard make/model | 17:55 |
| daftykins | hays: you could try installing the package 'xubuntu-desktop' but i bet you'll get issues | 17:55 |
| unknown101 | i sent it nevermind probably disconnecteded | 17:55 |
| seanh | Anyone know why my keybind stopped working (or how I can debug this)? I have `keycode 62 = F21` in ~/.Xmodmap (binds right shift to F21), it was working before but just stopped | 17:56 |
| hays | and there is also lubuntu | 17:56 |
| unknown101 | [sharkoon] skiller gaming keyboard | 17:56 |
| unknown101 | got it? | 17:56 |
| hays | but this thing has 2GB RAM probably good enough to trim down to xfce vs. going all the way to openbox | 17:56 |
| seanh | in compozconfig settings manager, I've bound f21 to launch the scale plugin, but it no longer works | 17:56 |
| ikonia | unknown101: http://www.sharkoon.com/?q=en/node/2180 read the last line | 17:56 |
| ikonia | unknown101: The keyboard is not compatible with Linux OS. | 17:56 |
| Sylenthemp | Thank you trism. So does a package with version number 2:2.7.3 necessarily have to differ from the same package with version number 1:2.7.3? | 17:57 |
| unknown101 | FFS | 17:57 |
| seanh | In the bind key dialog in settings manager, pressing right shift does get picked up as F21 and appears to get bound, but pressing it doesn't trigger window scaling | 17:57 |
| mfaroukg | there is a conflict in the driver of the nvidia and the display/GLX/unity and the screen shows blind. | 17:57 |
| seanh | Hmm, no, ccsm is detecting right shift as shift now, so seems my xmodmap file stopped working for some reason? | 17:57 |
| trism | Sylenthemp: yes if you read a little farther, the epochs are compared first, so 1 < 2 | 17:58 |
| Sylenthemp | ok, thank you trism. | 17:58 |
| unknown101 | ikonia is it possible to make it support linux? | 17:59 |
| ikonia | unknown101: the vendor says it's not supported, I'm not wasting time on that | 17:59 |
| unknown101 | the vendor is a mfer... | 18:00 |
| ikonia | unknown101: tone down the language, there is no need for it | 18:00 |
| ikonia | unknown101: the warning is clear on the website - you bought it, no-one but your fault | 18:00 |
| unknown101 | anyway thanks for the help.I used to run windows 7.... | 18:00 |

| wilee-nilee | Amis, Wubi is a try out install is there a reason why you continue with these install? | 18:08 |

| Amis | Accidentally closed window, sorry | 18:15 |
| daftykins | Amis: i would highly advise avoiding WUBI | 18:15 |
| Hubbadubba | the answer is 1. easy-> (Maybe 12.04 has some issues with wubi, and u could try 13.04 or something) or 2. hard -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1761521 | 18:15 |

| genii | Vellik: eg: xvfb | 18:16 |
| Amis | wilee-nilee, I would like to have the full speed of the hardware so virtual machine is a no-no | 18:16 |
| Hubbadubba | and 3. Try google, i dont think many is good on wubi here | 18:16 |
| genii | Vellik: If there is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf you make one, and then it gets used | 18:16 |
| Amis | Following the no-wubi line: is it possible to initiate the instalation of wubi without using any external device (CD/DVD or external HDD) from Windows? | 18:16 |

| demy84 | hello | 18:20 |
| Vellik | Amis. Installing it directly from Windows is tricky. I would sugest that you boot the device with the distro, it's not dificult at all. | 18:21 |
| demy84 | hello | 18:21 |
| Vellik | *suggest | 18:21 |
| Amis | Vellik: please elaborate on this: "boot the device with the distro" | 18:21 |
| Amis | Right now I'm looking at an EasyBCD tutorial that lets me boot the ISO, that sounds like something I need right now | 18:22 |

| Amis | daftykins, unfortunately my equipment is miles away | 18:23 |
| designbybeck_ | I've got a hp 2000-2c10dx Laptop, that gives me a Blank Screen after grub | 18:23 |

| Pessimist | If I want to replace empathy with pidgin because facebook chat is not working with empathy do I simply: sudo apt-get install pidgin && sudo apt-get purge empathy ? | 18:23 |
| Vellik | Amis: sorry, I didn't read from the begining, but if you downloaded and recorded the ISO image on a CD, DVD or Flash-drive, you may reboot your computer and press the key which will lead you to the boot devices so you cann choose the one with Linux. | 18:23 |
| daftykins | Vellik: reading up in future might save the help-ee some wasted time | 18:24 |
| designbybeck_ | Trying to do a new install on hp 2000-2c10dx Laptop...but I get a blank screen ... when trying to boot | 18:24 |
| Amis | Vellik, yea as I said I don't have such external storage at hand right now | 18:24 |
| Vellik | Trying to help, daftykins. Maybe you can solve his case. | 18:26 |

| jhutchins | designbybeck_: Probably just not getting the graphics quite right. You can try booting to single or to rescue (I can't remember which distros use which terminology). | 18:28 |
| designbybeck_ | hey jhutchins The last system we did get it working, this is a new person and a nother latop | 18:29 |

| eph3meral | how can I tell or test whether my nvidia drivers are installed correctly? | 18:34 |
| mediawork | hello | 18:34 |
| Vellik | Thought the community was meant for cooperation; but as I see, with all the Linux populatity growth, there is indeed a risk that some Linux versions, such as Ubuntu one, become with time a Windows like OS. And that shall happen, with help of users like daftykins. This is depressing. | 18:34 |
| Amis | I'll try a direct ISO boot with EasyBCD, thanks for the help | 18:34 |
| eph3meral | Vellik, take some prozac, carry on | 18:35 |
| eph3meral | or just go use slackware or something | 18:35 |
| designbybeck_ | Thank you jhutchins I'll keep looking | 18:36 |
| Monday | is there a power-manager app that efficiently sets up the battery of a laptop correctly? | 18:36 |

| ikonia | citrusfizz: why do they require seperate physical interfaces ? | 19:27 |
| defaultro | k | 19:27 |
| citrusfizz | doesn't have to be seperate phsyical could be virtual on one nic | 19:27 |
| citrusfizz | but, they need to be on different IPs | 19:27 |
| defaultro | citrusfizz: you can run https with specific conf file I guess | 19:27 |
| ikonia | citrusfizz: why do they need to be seperate interfaces ? | 19:27 |
| ikonia | citrusfizz: can you not just put 2 ip's on one card ? | 19:27 |
| defaultro | you don't even need 2 nics | 19:27 |
| eph3meral | are nvidia drivers still only available for 3.8.0-19 ? | 19:27 |
| citrusfizz | ikonia: i could | 19:27 |
| kebisk | how do i know which desktop environment i have? | 19:28 |
| eph3meral | the only kernel that doesn't give me permanent low resolution is -27 | 19:28 |
| ikonia | citrusfizz: unless you need seperate interfaces, I'd suggest that | 19:28 |
| defaultro | ikonia: he can even do named based vhosting | 19:28 |
| eph3meral | kbisk, if you haven't done anything differently than just installing regular ubuntu then you have Unity | 19:28 |
| citrusfizz | i can't do named based vhosting | 19:28 |
| ikonia | defaultro: yes, of course, but he didn't ask for that, so I'm assuming he needs IP's for reasons such as SSL | 19:28 |
| citrusfizz | i would if i could | 19:28 |
| defaultro | k | 19:28 |
| citrusfizz | but the application requirements wont work that way | 19:28 |
| eph3meral | kbisk which is bascially GNOME3 | 19:28 |
| citrusfizz | yes SSL | 19:28 |
| ikonia | citrusfizz: just bind a second IP to a card | 19:28 |
| citrusfizz | ikona thats fine | 19:29 |
| defaultro | like what ikonia said, you can create a second ip on the first nic | 19:29 |
| defaultro | aliasing | 19:29 |
| citrusfizz | but its the rest of it | 19:29 |
| kebisk | is there something i can type in the terminal that will give me the desktop environment as output? | 19:29 |
| citrusfizz | the rest of the process i am unsure how to go about | 19:29 |
| citrusfizz | i don't need someone to walk me through it, but just the logic | 19:29 |
| ikonia | citrusfizz: what do you need to know ? | 19:29 |
| ikonia | citrusfizz: what's not clear and we'll try to clear it up | 19:29 |
| BluesKaj | eph3meral, look in the software center for the 313 updates , make sure they're available there | 19:29 |
| kebisk | i dont think it's unity, it looks different | 19:30 |
| citrusfizz | ikonia: first how would the routing work.. since i would be using the same gateway address. | 19:30 |
| kebisk | i have no bar on the left | 19:30 |
| ikonia | citrusfizz: you wouldn't need to route | 19:30 |
| ikonia | citrusfizz: it's on the same network as the first address, no routing neededd | 19:30 |
| wilee-nilee | kebisk, what desktop is it? | 19:31 |
| kebisk | i dont understand the question | 19:31 |
| stonix | kebisk, could try env | grep XDG_CURRENT | 19:31 |
| citrusfizz | so if a request comes in on one IP and needs to make another call to another outside service before responding to the client, i still wont have an issue with routing? | 19:31 |
| ikonia | citrusfizz: nope, all good | 19:31 |
| wilee-nilee | kebisk, Hmm, desktop is beyond your understanding? | 19:32 |
| citrusfizz | so do i need to set the same gateway for each Vinterface or just one gateway is fine? | 19:32 |
| defaultro | as long as gateway is properly setup and that the machine can go to the internet properly | 19:32 |

| eph3meral | BluesKaj, hmm, I usually prefer to use ubuntu and at least last I checked (which was admittedly maybe more than a year ago) it was recommended iirc to always use jockey for nvidia drivers | 19:32 |
| ikonia | citrusfizz: you actually won't need to define an additional gateway | 19:33 |
| citrusfizz | well, the idea here is that the outbound requests would look like they are coming from different IPs as well | 19:33 |
| ikonia | citrusfizz: it's already set from the first interface, | 19:33 |
| eph3meral | er, s/perfer to use ubuntu/prefer to use synaptic/ | 19:33 |

| hiigaran | it doesnt say much | 19:38 |
| eph3meral | I clicked install and then it prompted me about 10 times with the message that the package is unknown/not-secure, to which there were only two buttons [OK] and [repair] | 19:38 |
| eph3meral | BluesKaj, after the first round of clicking ok a bunch it apparently "did nothing" and I still had an install button | 19:39 |
| BluesKaj | eph3meral, fails to install the nvidia 313 or fails to launch ? | 19:39 |
| eph3meral | well it is trying to install 304 | 19:39 |
| eph3meral | that's what it thinks is "current" | 19:39 |
| eph3meral | BluesKaj, as to that question I'm not 100% sure, i'm trying to describe the behavior | 19:39 |
| citrusfizz | ikonia: what would be my apache config in a nutshell? | 19:40 |
| eph3meral | subsequently after the first attempt at clicking install, I tried again, this time I got a progress bar, but still had to click OK about 10 times | 19:40 |
| agrester | Hello, anyone familiar with brother scanners, for some reason I can't get it to work at all! | 19:40 |

| ikonia | citrusfizz: you'd be running 2 instances, just as you would if you had two seperate physical cards | 19:40 |
| eph3meral | and then it sat there for like, a really long time, but eventually just gave me that same question one more time, I clicked ok one more time | 19:40 |
| ikonia | citrusfizz: 2 configs, binding one instance to IP 1, the second to IP 2 | 19:40 |
| eph3meral | and now the button still says install | 19:40 |
| citrusfizz | ikonia: ok, i think i can google out the rest of it. thanks! | 19:40 |
| eph3meral | also the 'progress' recycle icon had a red "2" next to it | 19:41 |
| wilee-nilee | agrester, Identify the scanner and what you have tried so far to the channel. | 19:41 |
| BluesKaj | eph3meral, perhaps the nvidia-current driver is correct for your ubuntu version | 19:41 |
| hiigaran | wilee-nilee: its a program used by the swedish medical centers to log you in to a fast reply system. its basically a security app | 19:41 |
| mernilio | Hi! Im free for asking! Being an old unix guy .. I just want to bring out all my knowledge to you guys! | 19:41 |
| hiigaran | been trying to install it for my mother, but...ugh | 19:41 |
| eph3meral | BluesKaj, er... correct? you mean I already have it installed? | 19:41 |
| eph3meral | BluesKaj, how could I test that? | 19:41 |
| wilee-nilee | hiigaran, It is a Tar you would install it through a terminal. | 19:41 |
| wilee-nilee | !tar | 19:41 |
| ubottu | Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression | 19:41 |
| hiigaran | wilee-nilee: yeah, i untar it, then run the installation script as per the guide | 19:42 |
| hiigaran | i have it installed | 19:42 |
| mernilio | Dating a girl from CS is inpossible .. and undateable! | 19:42 |
| hiigaran | i just cant find it | 19:42 |
| ikonia | mernilio: ok, we don't need that sort of information in here | 19:42 |
| hiigaran | i dont know where it installed to, nor do i know what the command is to start it up | 19:42 |
| ikonia | mernilio: this channel is used for ubuntu support only, so if you could stick to that it would be helpful and appreciated | 19:42 |
| mernilio | ikonia: it could be nice knowing! ;-) | 19:42 |
| BluesKaj | eph3meral, if it was already installed you would get a notification, like "already the newest version" | 19:42 |
| wilee-nilee | hiigaran, Ah, I see does it work through a cli maybe, you would probably want to contact the release whomever they are really. | 19:43 |
| eph3meral | BluesKaj, ok, so then where do I go from here? | 19:43 |
| hiigaran | wilee-nilee: i was hoping i wouldnt do that | 19:43 |
| hiigaran | but is there a lubuntu equivalent of this applications menu? | 19:43 |
| BluesKaj | eph3meral, did the nvidia-current driver install ? | 19:43 |
| wilee-nilee | hiigaran, I would look in bin or sbin in / | 19:43 |
| hiigaran | ill give that a shot | 19:43 |
| eph3meral | BluesKaj, uhh, no... how do I know for sure? | 19:43 |
| eph3meral | it still has an install button - I assume there would not be an install button if it was installed | 19:44 |
| wilee-nilee | hiigaran, You can search the computer from home and / | 19:44 |
| hiigaran | not sure what id search for | 19:44 |
| BluesKaj | eph3meral, sudo apt-get install nvidia-current , in the console | 19:44 |
| agrester | Have an MFC-8660DN scanner, hooked it up to usb, and followed the instructions to install the Brother driver here http://goo.gl/ocpT6L and install the package that generates UDEV rules for the scanner http://goo.gl/ocpT6L, this worked before but for some reason recently it no longer works. | 19:45 |
| eph3meral | BluesKaj, not installed | 19:45 |
| wilee-nilee | hiigaran, start with the name the tar used basically, there is probably sets of files, this is 3rd party stuff and technically not supported here. | 19:45 |
| hiigaran | wilee-nilee: thanks, anyway | 19:46 |
| agrester | Next, I tried the method described on the forums here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=590793 | 19:46 |
| eph3meral | BluesKaj, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6103063/ | 19:46 |
| agrester | Still, it doesn't work no matter what I tried... | 19:46 |
| BluesKaj | eph3meral, so apt-get wouldn't install nvidia-current , was there an error ? | 19:46 |
| klong- | question: what software is in charge of implemtening "dns-nameserver" parameter in /etc/network/interfaces? my interfaces are coming up on reboot, but DNS is not | 19:47 |
| eph3meral | I didn't say that, you asked whether "it was installed" and asked me to try that command to check for sure - that paste is merely the output proving that in fact the nvidia-current package is not installed | 19:47 |
| eph3meral | BluesKaj, I can try it through apt, but that seems dangerous to me from what I know | 19:47 |
| michaelwang32 | ma | 19:48 |
| michaelwang32 | i was testing | 19:48 |
| wilee-nilee | hiigaran, Someone may help you more efficiently, however a app we know nothing about in general slows things down is all. ;) | 19:48 |
| BluesKaj | ok , it will be fine eph3meral , let it install , then the software manager will ask you to reboot | 19:48 |
| hiigaran | wilee-nilee: yeah, i dont blame you, or anything, dont worry | 19:48 |
| Mizoguchi | clear | 19:49 |
| hiigaran | i dont suppose a restart would help? | 19:49 |
| zykotick9 | eph3meral: fyi, you can use "apt-cache policy foo" to verify if things or installed or not. | 19:49 |
| eph3meral | BluesKaj, so what happens when I want to upgrade my kernel? right now I have it locked to 3.8.0-27 in synaptic | 19:49 |
| hiigaran | meh, ill try | 19:50 |
| eph3meral | zykotick9, cool thanks | 19:50 |
| BluesKaj | eph3meral, actually less dangerous than using jockey in my experience , jockey can be buggy | 19:50 |
| eph3meral | hmm, aight then, good to know | 19:50 |
| agrester | Oh ya, currently on Ubuntu 13.04 kernel version 3.8---30 | 19:50 |
| eph3meral | ok reboot, brb, wish me luck | 19:51 |
| reallordofall | yo | 19:51 |
| BluesKaj | eph3meral, just be sure to sudo apt-get distupgrade every now and then , that wull bring any new kernel updates/upgrades along | 19:51 |
| BluesKaj | eph3meral, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade , rather | 19:51 |
| eph3meral | BluesKaj, what do you mean by bring kernel updates/upgrades? cuz I had been getting kernel updates from the software updater and it was breaking my vieo | 19:51 |
| agrester | Basically, scanning is terrible in Mac OS X and I want to avoid it. | 19:52 |
| eph3meral | which is why I locked my kernel to -27 | 19:52 |
| eph3meral | s/vieo/video/ | 19:52 |
| BluesKaj | eph3meral, which ubuntu version ? | 19:52 |
| eph3meral | 13.04 64 bit regular | 19:52 |
| eph3meral | though I'm running KDE | 19:52 |
| wilee-nilee | agrester, You checked for drivers in printers first right? | 19:53 |
| BluesKaj | ok and your graphics card is ? | 19:53 |
| eph3meral | nvidia 680gtx | 19:53 |
| agrester | wilee-nilee, yep | 19:53 |
| reallordofall | kde is so slow and buggy try xfce | 19:53 |
| === dpac is now known as dpac|away | ||
| wilee-nilee | agrester, cool had ti ask is all. ;) | 19:53 |
| wilee-nilee | to* | 19:53 |
| mernilio | Damn.. where did that guy go.. i just had a good wriging aboujt me being a killer programmer and a master unix admin :-) | 19:54 |
| agrester | wilee-nilee, okay, the strange thing is that it's worked before using the same procedure | 19:54 |
| zykotick9 | reallordofall: xfce is so slow and buggy try <insert WM here>. (don't make comments like that, it's not helpful - let people use what they want... even if it's silly) | 19:54 |
| BluesKaj | no wonder you're having problems eph3meral locking the kernel is not a good practice , one needs to keep the OS updated | 19:54 |
| wilee-nilee | agrester, Yeah, I saw that, another release? | 19:55 |
| reallordofall | ok sorry | 19:55 |
| eph3meral | BluesKaj, i would if the updates didn't break my video | 19:56 |
| mernilio | Its non topic.. but i had to write to my dad .. he is not good towards my mum. | 19:56 |
| agrester | wilee-nilee, perhaps I should check on that | 19:56 |
| BluesKaj | eph3meral, I run kde as well , on 13.04 64bit as well and the 313 driver should be availnble if you uipgrade and dist-upgrade | 19:56 |
| eph3meral | and i disagree on "not a good practice" maybe not an "ideal" practice, but ideal vs doesn't break I'll take doesn't break | 19:56 |
| wilee-nilee | agrester, I meant another ubuntu release. | 19:57 |
| eph3meral | BluesKaj, all the other kernels have something wrong where I get stuck on a really low resolution | 19:57 |
| eph3meral | i actually found a thread on it in the ubuntu bugs tracker somewhere | 19:57 |
| eph3meral | it's happening to plenty of other people | 19:57 |
| Johnny_Linux | sure is a nice card tho | 19:57 |
| eph3meral | BluesKaj, if the distribution process were perfect I could agree with you about not locking my kernel, but as is, I just can't "live with it" when I get stuck at like 1024x768 max | 19:58 |
| BluesKaj | eph3meral, well, maybe my lowly 8400gs isn't so bad afterall | 19:58 |
| OerHeks | eph3meral, on what videocard ? | 19:58 |
| agrester | wilee-nilee, no it was the same version | 19:58 |
| === ese is now known as guey | ||
| eph3meral | OerHeks, 680gxt | 19:58 |
| Johnny_Linux | eph3meral if you dont mind me asking, what kind of mobo is that sitting on | 19:58 |
| eph3meral | Johnny_Linux, asrock extreme4 | 19:58 |
| Johnny_Linux | ok | 19:58 |
| BluesKaj | yeah there are some reports about res problems with the Nvidia 600 series , eph3meral | 19:59 |
| zykotick9 | eph3meral: i'm just curious, but have you ever installed the nvidia.com driver? in addition to the ubuntu version? the 680gxt sounds a lot newer then my 8800, but i don't have trouble with kernel/nvidia driver? | 19:59 |
| wilee-nilee | agrester, I see this, however I'm not familiar with this unit. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/raring/+package/brother-cups-wrapper-laser | 19:59 |
| agrester | wilee-nilee, checked that I don't think the scanner software is in there | 20:01 |
| wilee-nilee | agrester, With a quick search I see info at brother on additional stuff needed, I think you are probably just missing something, just a guess though. | 20:01 |
| eph3meral | ah, yeah could be just the hardware is relatively new | 20:02 |
| eph3meral | well reboot, wish me luck, brb | 20:02 |
| Johnny_Linux | yeah | 20:02 |
| wilee-nilee | agrester, You have the backports and partners repos open in the sources.list? | 20:03 |
| agrester | wilee-nilee, no just updates | 20:06 |
| wilee-nilee | agrester, Those repos can be important for stuff, the partners especially. | 20:07 |
| eph3meral | well, I think it finally worked | 20:07 |
| eph3meral | thanks BluesKaj | 20:07 |
| reallordofall | sudo apt-get install amarok/$(lsb_release -sc)-backports | 20:07 |
| eph3meral | zykotick9, XFCE isn't slow, it's blazing fast, but it is buggy | 20:08 |
| wilee-nilee | agrester, You probably had those repos open last time you installed, when I run a deb like that I use gdebi it will show any missing dependencies. | 20:08 |
| BluesKaj | eph3meral, check this in the console , dkms status , you may need to install dkms | 20:08 |
| reallordofall | i'm not agree but it doesnt matter | 20:08 |
| arcsky_ | can anyone help me with a source.list to ubuntu 11.04 | 20:09 |
| eph3meral | BluesKaj, "nvidia-304, 304.88, 3.8.0-27-generic, x86_64: installed" | 20:09 |
| wilee-nilee | arcsky_, 11.04 is eol. | 20:09 |
| wilee-nilee | !eol | archigos this will direct your sources info. | 20:09 |
| ubottu | archigos this will direct your sources info.: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 20:09 |
| eph3meral | BluesKaj, so now how do I go about upgrading to 3.8.0-30 and still keep the nvidia driver | 20:09 |
| eph3meral | and or, how do I go about upgrading to nvidia 313 | 20:10 |
| eph3meral | (both, but we can tackle one at a time if need be) | 20:10 |
| arcsky_ | wilee-nilee: ok its an lab laptop. isnt possible to do something? | 20:10 |
| BluesKaj | eph3meral, now might want to unlock your kernel , unless you're happy with the 304 driver | 20:10 |
| wilee-nilee | arcsky_, Problem is its not supported here, read the bots link on the repos for a upgrade maybe. | 20:10 |
| eph3meral | why would unlocking the kernel change the driver version? | 20:10 |
| bwayne | I've got X11 forwarding setup. I can start programs like xclock. How to launch a program like chrome-browser? | 20:10 |
| eph3meral | aren't they indepenent? | 20:10 |
| eph3meral | independent* | 20:11 |
| bekks | bwayne: The same way as xclock. | 20:11 |
| wilee-nilee | arcsky_, 11.04 is just not in the standard repos as of now. | 20:11 |
| Kronuz | hello | 20:11 |
| zykotick9 | eph3meral: re: xfce-slow, actually that's a matter of opinion! that's why i commented on your origional statement, these arguments are pointless. but compared to my awesome/ncurses mainly setup, xfce is a resource beast ;) it's all a matter of opinion. | 20:11 |
| arcsky_ | wilee-nilee: i did dist-upgrade now | 20:11 |
| eph3meral | zykotick9, haha, well that's an almost unfair comparison because you're implicitly leaving X11 out of that equation | 20:11 |
| wilee-nilee | !dist-upgrade | 20:12 |
| ubottu | A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 20:12 |
| zykotick9 | eph3meral: awesome is xorg | 20:12 |
| eph3meral | s/X11/Xorg/ | 20:12 |
| wilee-nilee | arcsky_, Your repos are not legit is all. | 20:12 |
| Kronuz | I'm having issues distributing a binary file and making it work in two different boxes with two different versions of ubuntu: Ubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 13.04 | 20:12 |
| agrester | wilee-nilee, is there a generic scanning package I can use? | 20:12 |
| Kronuz | http://pastie.org/8323798 | 20:12 |
| eph3meral | BluesKaj, aren't the versions independent? how would unlocking my kernel version cause the nvidia driver version to change | 20:13 |
| wilee-nilee | agrester, Not that i know of, again this is not supported here that is all I can really do. ;) | 20:13 |
| Kronuz | The guy who said he had to re-build the source code, gave me his built binaries, and I compared them to mine using ldd | 20:13 |
| Kronuz | (that's the pastie above) | 20:13 |
| Kronuz | the used libraries look the same names | 20:13 |
| wilee-nilee | all I know really, agrester | 20:13 |
| alastor__ | i'm pretty sure i've added a ppa to get newer versions of PHP but i don't see anything out of the ordinary in /etc/apt/sources.list. where else could my PPA definitions be? | 20:13 |
| Kronuz | what can be causing my binaries (built using 12.04) not to work in his box (13.04)? | 20:14 |
| eph3meral | alastor__, check in synaptic under repositories | 20:14 |
| wilee-nilee | alastor__, /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 20:14 |
| zykotick9 | alastor__: ppa's are in sources.list. look in the source.list.d directory. | 20:14 |
| eph3meral | alastor__, also, you need to sudo apt-get update | 20:14 |
| zykotick9 | alastor__: s/are/aren't/ | 20:14 |
| BluesKaj | eph3meral, because you upgrade the kernel thereby upgrading the kernel modules available your OS | 20:14 |
| alastor__ | i see. thank you wilee-nilee zykotick9 eph3meral | 20:15 |
| eph3meral | BluesKaj, but there are like 7 kernel versions and only 3 driver versions | 20:15 |
| eph3meral | aight, well whatever I'll give it a shot, lets see how it goes | 20:15 |
| eph3meral | bbiab | 20:15 |
| geirha | Kronuz: strings _SilverCity.so | grep GLIBC | 20:15 |
| gmag | Hi guys, how can I give all privileges to a user? I have tried visudo but no success. Do I have to run an update-* command to apply changes? | 20:17 |
| geirha | gmag: What line did you add with visudo? | 20:18 |
| Kronuz | geirha: http://pastie.org/8323817 | 20:18 |
| zykotick9 | gmag: add user to the sudo group. log out / back in as that user. done. | 20:18 |
| wilee-nilee | alastor__, Did you find /etc/apt/sources.list.d? | 20:19 |
| ikonia | gmag: just put the user in the admin group | 20:19 |
| Kronuz | my binary is the one without the GLIBC_2.4 | 20:19 |
| gmag | geirha, myuser ALL=(ALL) ALL | 20:19 |
| zykotick9 | ikonia: NOT admin group, sudo. | 20:19 |
| ikonia | is the group sudo, I thought it was admin, thanks zykotick9 | 20:19 |
| gmag | how to add? | 20:19 |
| geirha | gmag: And you added this as the last line? because the order of the lines matter | 20:19 |
| eph3meral | BluesKaj, I'm just saying it doesn't seem like there could be a 1-1 correlation between a kernel *version change* and a mandatory driver *version change* | 20:19 |
| zykotick9 | ikonia: it was admin, not it's sudo. | 20:19 |
| eph3meral | since there aren't enough versions to go together | 20:20 |
| zykotick9 | s/not/now/ | 20:20 |
| gmag | geirha, I added after root user | 20:20 |
| gmag | there are only these two users | 20:20 |
| eph3meral | BluesKaj, I was under the impression that the driver version was independent, you just need to recompile the driver agains the new kernel headers but the driver version stays the same | 20:20 |
| eph3meral | BluesKaj, if this ^ is what you mean by "upgrade" then I guess we're on the same page | 20:20 |
| Kronuz | geirha, the other two binaries output the exact same GLIBC strings) | 20:20 |
| an3k | can someone help me with my problem please? installing ubuntu 13.04 on my desktop is done without any errors, rebooting also works well, even logging in but then after ~30 seconds the whole sys starts to heavily lag and ~20 seconds later the whole sys freezes | 20:21 |
| geirha | gmag: Ok, that should allow you to run anything with sudo, provided you authenticate | 20:21 |
| gmag | geirha, http://codepad.org/A8YEl4eg | 20:21 |
| mimo | I have an ubuntu latest version and a usb sound card. when using this sound card the ubuntu freezes and Ineed to restart the machine regularly.... is there a way to send ubuntu developers a log or something so they can fix this? | 20:21 |
| geirha | Kronuz: Yeah, they look ok, that's just the typical problem I've encountered sharing a binary between different ubuntu releases. Is there a particular error message when it fails? | 20:22 |
| wilee-nilee | mimo, there is a bug report system. | 20:22 |
| BluesKaj | ]eph there isn't a new driver module with every kernel upgrade , ther eusually 3 or 4 modules available for a particular kerenel at any one time. | 20:22 |
| wilee-nilee | !bugs | 20:22 |
| ubottu | If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 20:22 |
| zykotick9 | mimo: are you SURE it's the soundcard causing the issue? look in to how to file a bug ("/msg ubottu bug" for details). | 20:22 |
| BluesKaj | eph3meral, ^ | 20:22 |
| mimo | zykotick9: yes pretty sure, only started happening when I started using this, I haven't changed anything else | 20:23 |
| eph3meral | i'm pretty sure we're still completely misunderstanding each other | 20:23 |
| eph3meral | we're also using different terms, I'm saying version you're saying module | 20:23 |
| geirha | gmag: Yeah, myuser should have the same access as any user in the admin group; any particular reason why you don't just add the user to the admin group instead? | 20:23 |
| eph3meral | again, while they could correlate I don't think they necessarily do | 20:23 |
| zykotick9 | mimo: well, try to file a bug against whatever package (probably the kernel) that supplies that driver. best of luck. | 20:24 |
| BluesKaj | eph3meral, but the modules themselves don't upgrade as quickloy as kernels do it seems | 20:24 |
| bucketm0use | is there any 'easy' way to put yourself in a sandbox before you install some software on Ubuntu? | 20:25 |
| bucketm0use | I'd like to be able to undo the process rather easily | 20:25 |
| reallordofall | bye everybody | 20:26 |
| gmag | geirha, I tried everything and still have no permissions to do a simple "touch file" in /usr/local/bin | 20:27 |
| geirha | gmag: You mean sudo touch file fails? | 20:28 |
| gmag | geirha, no, I mean touch file | 20:28 |
| geirha | gmag: Then sudoers can't help | 20:29 |
| gmag | geirha, I would like to run it without "sudo" | 20:29 |
| gmag | geirha, I see | 20:29 |
| gmag | geirha, what can I do? | 20:29 |
| agrester | wilee-nilee: do I need to install the printer driver first? | 20:29 |
| LinuxGold | what is the default chown for /var/www ? | 20:29 |
| bwayne | OK. My issue was that there was already a chrome-browser process going. Starting firefox worked fine. | 20:29 |
| geirha | gmag: Then you either have to run it from a root shell, or give your user write access to that directory | 20:29 |
| genii | LinuxGold: root | 20:30 |
| LinuxGold | thanks | 20:31 |
| zwiep` | is it possible to use 2 graphics adapters and 3/4 displays with ubuntu these days? I know I had some issues with it before. | 20:35 |
| wilee-nilee | agrester, If it were me I would of had those repos open and be fully updated, then installed the brother deb. | 20:35 |
| gmag | geirha, thanks mate, I changed folder permissions, it is working now. | 20:36 |
| seanz | Greetings. Does Ubuntu automatically detect if I dynamically change the size of the hard drive that the OS is installed on? | 20:39 |
| OerHeks | seanz, "dynamically"as in while running ubuntu? | 20:42 |
| seanz | OerHeks: Either that or on reboot. | 20:42 |
| seanz | Without having to take any manual steps. | 20:43 |
| OerHeks | seanz, you cannot change the partitions mounted. if you change them with the live cd or other, yes, it will detect the change. | 20:43 |
| eusto_ | hi, i have a problem with live install | 20:44 |
| eusto_ | i'm using a bootable usb disk to install ubuntu on a machine | 20:44 |
| eusto_ | but somehow grub does not show up at boot | 20:44 |
| agrester | wilee-nilee: I'm beginning to fear it's a kernel version thing, the kernels have been updated recently, and nothing I can do will make it work! | 20:45 |
| eusto_ | after a successful install, the computer still boots the other OS | 20:45 |
| eusto_ | any ideas? | 20:45 |
| OerHeks | eusto_, hold shift @ boot to enter grubmenu | 20:46 |
| eusto_ | OerHeks: thanks, I'll try and get back | 20:46 |
| eph3meral | BluesKaj, yes I understand that the modules don't upgrade as quickly as the kernels | 20:46 |
| eph3meral | BluesKaj, so that's why I was saying, upgrading the kernel e.g. from 3.8.0-29 to 3.8.0-29 won't guaranteed that nvidia-304 will be upgraded | 20:47 |
| eph3meral | might be reasonable to suppose so, but I thought they were independent | 20:47 |
| eph3meral | so all I'm saying is I still don't see how "unlocking" the kernel ensures a module upgrade, esp if 304 is available for all kernels which I would have to suppose it is | 20:48 |
| Johnny_Linux | eph3meral you could also uncheck 'search for new drivers' in startup pps | 20:48 |
| eph3meral | I mean I saw it build the module with an exact version when I installed with apt-get, I just want to make sure that if I install a kernel upgrade, it will at the very least recompile my nvidia-304 driver module for that new kernel | 20:49 |
| eph3meral | I seem to recall this is not an automatic thing | 20:49 |
| eph3meral | but maybe things have changed | 20:49 |
| eph3meral | Johnny_Linux, hmm, startup what now? how do I get there? | 20:49 |
| bekks | eph3meral: Thats not possible, since a new kernel might ship a new ABI which breaks the compilation of that module. | 20:49 |
| eph3meral | bekks, ok then what about at least install any kind of compatible nvidia module when I kernel upgrade? | 20:50 |
| eph3meral | like if I have nvidia-304 on -27 and -29 breaks nvidia-304 but works on nvidia-310 | 20:50 |
| eph3meral | will it auto install 310? | 20:50 |
| eph3meral | by it I generally mean apt-get | 20:50 |
| bekks | eph3meral: I'll personally start a war of rage against the one who decides it would be a good idea to automatically download and install another driver version without asking me. | 20:51 |
| eph3meral | bekks, because if I'm not mistaken, this is the exact reason I locked my kernel because there's no way to upgrade the kernel in place if it's tied to nvidia drivers | 20:51 |
| eph3meral | bekks, I never said anything about don't ask me | 20:51 |
| bekks | eph3meral: I am updating kernels very often, and I never had problems with nvidia. | 20:51 |

| wilee-nilee | BruceS, What release are you running? | 21:24 |
| === coolstar- is now known as coolstar | ||
| BruceS | wilee-nilee: I am running 12.04.3 LTS - | 21:26 |
| alastor__ | if I add a PPA for php5, does it also mean that all other php5 packages (like php5-mysql, php5-pgsql and so on) are also included in this ppa? | 21:27 |
| BruceS | wilee-nilee: installed at approx 1200 locations hence the desire for LTS and minimal support | 21:27 |
| zykotick9 | BruceS: fyi, to get new kernel versions, i'd suggest dist-upgrade myself... | 21:27 |
| ikonia | alastor__: probably not - it depends on what the PPA maintainer has done, I strongly advise you not to use a PPA fr things like php | 21:28 |
| alastor__ | ikonia: i should have talked to you earlier then.. too late =P | 21:28 |
| alastor__ | thx anyway | 21:28 |
| zykotick9 | ikonia: +1 on discouraging PPAs | 21:28 |
| basichash | I can't interact with my windows | 21:28 |
| BruceS | zykotick9: see my comments above about dist-upgrade. When we connect manually to a system that's what we do, automatically the run the unattended version - this is why I am concerned that that new kernel will arrive | 21:28 |
| basichash | What's the equivalent of restart explorer.exe in Linux? | 21:29 |
| rostam | Hi How could I install chrome on my 12.04 LTS? apt-get install google-chrome return error: has no installation method. thx | 21:29 |
| ikonia | basichash: it doesn't work like that, what's the issue you have | 21:29 |
| basichash | ikonia: I can't click on my windows/taskbar/any program | 21:29 |
| wilee-nilee | BruceS, Cool, were you not you on last night with a kernel problem? 12.04 in the 12.04.3 is using the raring kernels, not real relevant. From the update manager kernels with upgrade from the cli it is dist-upgrade. | 21:29 |
| basichash | Can only alt-tab | 21:29 |
| zykotick9 | BruceS: sorry, if you using unattended version, best of luck to you ;) i'd call that "bad admin work" myself... | 21:29 |
| ikonia | basichash: that seems concerning, does the mouse actually move ? | 21:29 |
| basichash | yeah the mouse works ine | 21:30 |
| basichash | fine* | 21:30 |
| SwashBuckla | how do I remove a program from ubuntu? In this case it's Eclipse. | 21:30 |
| ikonia | basichash: does the keyboard still respond ? | 21:30 |
| basichash | I've got quite a lot of programs running | 21:30 |
| SwashBuckla | !remove | 21:30 |
| SwashBuckla | !uninstall | 21:30 |
| ubottu | To learn how to uninstall applications in Ubuntu - please visit http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-delete-remove-software-using-apt-get-command/ | 21:30 |
| basichash | I'm sure a reboot would do the trick, but then I'd lose all my windows | 21:30 |
| BruceS | wilee-nilee: that may have been one of my collegues I suppose - since he did leave me a note that backing down to 052 had solved the hang issues | 21:30 |
| basichash | ikonia: yes the keyboard is working | 21:30 |
| ikonia | basichash: are the windows actually still active, eg: are they doing stuff in them ? | 21:31 |
| zykotick9 | SwashBuckla: how did you install it? you might want to see !purge for details (keep in ming, it doesn't remove files in ~) | 21:31 |
| wilee-nilee | BruceS, The 12.04 releases as they came out went up a kernel set 12.04.2 was the quantal set, you had to itstall that release or run a special upgrade. | 21:31 |
| basichash | yeah they're all running fine, I just can't interact with them (at least by mouse) | 21:31 |
| alastor__ | i'll try a clean php re-install then. after running sudo apt-get remove php5, phpinfo() still shows stuff as if nothing has happened.. shouldn't it have been removed? | 21:32 |
| SwashBuckla | zykotick9: apt-get install | 21:32 |
| basichash | ikonia: OK it's working now. Thanks | 21:32 |
| BruceS | wilee-nilee: I do not understand what you are saying - please explain - these systems started with a downloaded 12.4 and were upgraded over the months with the dist-upgrade and arrived where they are that way | 21:33 |
| zykotick9 | SwashBuckla: then "sudo apt-get purge foo" will remove, with config files, whatever you installed... have fun. | 21:33 |
| BruceS | wilee-nilee: I also mis-type - they are running kernel 3.2.0-052 now - I previously got the 2.0 as 0,2 - oops | 21:34 |
| wilee-nilee | BruceS, Canonical, due to the long term 5 year release had instituted kernels from later releases to be on the systematic releases of 12.04 with each additional like 12.04.2 and 12.04.3. | 21:35 |
| wilee-nilee | BruceS, Ah, that was why I was curious on the actual release, looked like an earlier than 12.04 is all. | 21:35 |
| === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman | ||
| BruceS | wilee-nilee: yes and so the system had upgraded to 3.2.0-053 and they all started hanging - so we have stepped back to 052 and all is clean again - hence my fear that the systems will upgrade themselves | 21:36 |
| alastor__ | after running sudo apt-get remove php5, phpinfo() still shows stuff as if nothing has happened.. and stuff under /etc/php5 is still as before. shouldn't it have been removed? | 21:37 |
| neol | . | 21:37 |
| bekks | alastor__: no. because "php5" is the CLI only, not the apache php5 module. | 21:37 |
| zykotick9 | alastor__: if you use remove instead of purge, then config files in /etc stay... | 21:37 |
| alastor__ | zykotick9: i've used purge too, afterwards, same results | 21:38 |
| wilee-nilee | BruceS, Sounds like you have a auto update set or was this from a update manager update? | 21:38 |
| alastor__ | bekks: oh... that makes sense. | 21:38 |
| alastor__ | thx | 21:38 |
| BruceS | wilee-nilee: so the question becomes: given that we have backed down to -052 will the "unattended-upgrade that runs daily or a manual dist-upgrade re-install -052 | 21:38 |
| BruceS | read 053 for the aboe 052 | 21:38 |
| zykotick9 | alastor__: i'm not sure "purge" would work, after the package has been removed... | 21:38 |
| rostam | Hi How could I install chrome on my 12.04 LTS? apt-get install google-chrome return error: has no installation method. thx | 21:38 |
| bekks | !chrome | 21:39 |
| bekks | hmmm. | 21:39 |
| dougiel | anyone know how to edit grub to boot OSX installs? | 21:39 |
| BruceS | wilee-nilee: we do have them set to unattended-upgrade daily and if we are on one for any reason we do a dist-upgrade too | 21:39 |
| dougiel | grub2 | 21:39 |
| alastor__ | bekks: will directory /var/www/ get deleted if I remove apache? | 21:39 |
| SwashBuckla | zykotick9: when I reinstall it after purge remove, eclipse clearly has previously set configuration info such as Installed Software repos | 21:39 |
| SwashBuckla | zykotick9: this is a problem as I messed up my configuration. I just want to start fresh as if I'd never installed eclipse | 21:40 |
| wilee-nilee | BruceS, The dist-upgrade in the cli will upgrade the kernel, I assume the unattended does not. | 21:40 |
| bekks | alastor__: No. And removing apache willnot remove the apache php5 module. | 21:40 |
| alastor__ | bekks: hmmm.. ok. i'll just remove everything to clean install it again. thx | 21:41 |
| BruceS | wilee-nilee: on a spare machine I just did a apt-get dist-upgrade and it seems to have not downlaoded a new kernel - at least it did not tell me it did and it is not telling me that a boot is required - any guesses why | 21:41 |
| zykotick9 | SwashBuckla: if there is any eclipse setting in ~, then purge won't do a thing... | 21:41 |
| wilee-nilee | BruceS, The removal of that kernel yesterday may have not gotten all the configs for it, the user did not seem to really be up on a full purge. | 21:42 |
| Manaatti | o | 21:43 |
| alastor__ | what happens if we download, say a newer version of a package than what's in the official repo via a PPA, then delete the entry from sources.list and upgrade the package again? does it get downgraded to reflect the official repo? | 21:43 |
| bekks | alastor__: No. | 21:43 |
| bekks | !ppa-purge | 21:43 |
| ubottu | To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 21:43 |
| wilee-nilee | BruceS, That is a bit of a grey area for me as well, so I can't definitively answer is all, as far if there is any upgrade problems again if you purge. ;) | 21:43 |
| BruceS | wilee-nilee: I am sure that he was not - neither would I be - we try to just let the OS do its stuff - his notes say that he did a dpkg purge | 21:43 |
| alastor__ | bekks: ha.. there's a tool fo reverything. thanks for that | 21:44 |
| zykotick9 | alastor__: TRY to avoid PPAs, if you can. | 21:44 |
| wilee-nilee | BruceS, I gave him this command to use to see all the kernels. dpkg -l | grep linux-image at times I have seen more than one image on a kernel set to remove. | 21:45 |
| wilee-nilee | BruceS, I'm not real up on all the parameters of kernels though. | 21:45 |
| alastor__ | zykotick9: it has worked ok for me so far... the ppa is provided by a guy from debian core team i guess.. it just messed up my stuff because i need other stuff that needs to be compiled against a specific php version then it all got weird hehe | 21:45 |
| bekks | alastor__: thats why you should avoid PPA. | 21:46 |
| BruceS | wilee-nilee: his notes say and the history shows: apt-get purge linux-image... | 21:46 |
| zykotick9 | bekks: +1 | 21:46 |
| BruceS | wilee-nilee: the -l shows there is only the one | 21:46 |
| alastor__ | bekks: yeah perhaps... not the nicest of things to wait for a new ubuntu version when a new feature you really like has been added to a package.... there's always a tradeoff i guess | 21:47 |
| bekks | alastor__: when dealing that way with PPA, you should know how to fix things ;) | 21:47 |
| alastor__ | bekks: you're right. | 21:48 |
| DiabloBasic | hi all http://MegaStoon.Com/?share=111192 | 21:49 |
| BruceS | wilee-nilee: I also assume that whatever the issue is it will get fixed before 054 so if the system upgrades to that we are OK and if not, thanks to you we know how to go back to 052 | 21:49 |
| wilee-nilee | BruceS, Cool, glad to help. | 21:53 |
| MikeyD | I just installed ubuntu. how do i get my mouse scroll wheel working? | 21:53 |
| BruceS | wilee-nilee: so any idea why the dist-upgrade I just did, did NOT bring back 053 - I am pleased that id did not as long as this does not mean that I am missing out on security updates/upgrades | 21:54 |
| wilee-nilee | BruceS, NOt really years ago I had to purge a kernel, and had the same thing happen. I'm a armchair user really and do not follow the the intricacies a IT person might | 21:55 |

| wilee-nilee | no problem | 21:59 |
| quidnunc | If I add something to cron as a regular user where in /etc does it show up? | 22:08 |
| bekks | quidnunc: Nowhere, because you do not have the permissions to put things into /etc/. | 22:08 |
| alastor__ | bekks: you've told me a while back that removing apache2 doesn't remove the apache2 php module. But, if an *apache* module has apache as a dependency, shouldn't removing apache cause whatever depends upon it to be removed as well? | 22:08 |
| quidnunc | bekks: Where does it go? | 22:08 |
| bekks | quidnunc: It will show up in /var/spool/cron or something. | 22:08 |

| cjwelborn | I'd like to upgrade to Ubuntu 13, when I got my laptop 12.10 Secure Remix was the only one that would install (win8 and UEFI problems). Does anyone know if the newer versions can boot the same as 12.10 Secure-Remix? | 22:15 |
| soman | I need to export text from html file to txt. Does exist any tool for that? | 22:15 |
| bekks | soman: html2text? :) | 22:16 |
| Dr_Willis | cjwelborn: best answer would be to try them and see. Ive never heard of 'secure-remix' so i imagine its not an officialy supported ubuntu release. | 22:16 |
| Dr_Willis | !uefi | cjwelborn | 22:16 |
| ubottu | cjwelborn: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 22:16 |
| soman | bekks: I'll ckeck it out now | 22:16 |
| zykotick9 | soman: the "best" html->txt i've gotten is actually using output from elinks/links2. best of luck. | 22:16 |
| cjwelborn | Dr_Willis: it was recommended on the Ubuntu UEFI site at one time. It was on SourceForge or Github I think (not an offical Ubuntu Repo) | 22:17 |
| cjwelborn | I just don't want to ruin my install and have to start all over I guess. | 22:17 |
| Dr_Willis | cjwelborn: you can do a test install to a usb flash drive if you wanted to. | 22:17 |
| zykotick9 | cjwelborn: non-support-derivative->ubuntu might be difficult... | 22:18 |
| cjwelborn | Ahh.. I didn't even think of that. That's what I'll do. | 22:18 |
| Dr_Willis | cjwelborn: this is why people tend ot backup their systems. :) so they can restore them | 22:18 |
| Dr_Willis | cjwelborn: you definatly dont want to 'do a release upgrade' from a Non ubuntu variant to a ubuntu release. that can cause major disasters | 22:18 |
| cjwelborn | gotcha. i am definitely avoiding that. | 22:18 |
| Dr_Willis | but from what im reading on the secuer-remixx wiki . that variant - has minimnal chnages.. Im suporised it worked when then others dident | 22:20 |
| cjwelborn | I tried a lot of other distros | 22:21 |
| cjwelborn | Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Mint.... Secure-Remix was the only thing that worked out of the box for some reason | 22:21 |
| Dr_Willis | they do have 13.04 iso files there. | 22:21 |
| Dr_Willis | I honestly dont see how it differt from normal ubuntu - except for the addation of like 4 tools. | 22:22 |
| cjwelborn | awesome, last time I checked they didn't have them. if they do now, it would be a good place to start for me. | 22:22 |
| Dr_Willis | http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-secure/files/?source=navbar | 22:22 |
| cjwelborn | the boot-repair was needed. I remember that. It fixed my win8. | 22:22 |
| zykotick9 | cjwelborn: keep in mind *buntu is really, all the same. Mint is a derivative of ubuntu, as is Secure-Remix (which i've never even heard of)... | 22:22 |
| Dr_Willis | you can install boot-repair on any live cd. ;) (to ram) | 22:22 |
| cjwelborn | zykotick9: i know right?... thats what was bugging me. that only secure-remix worked on this machine. other people had luck with the normal versions.. | 22:23 |
| Dr_Willis | secure remixx basially includes 'boot-repair' 'os-uninstaller' and 'clean ubiquity' which aparently backs up the MBR. | 22:23 |
| OerHeks | zykotick9, secure remix is the followup of ubuntu-secure-remix. | 22:23 |
| Dr_Willis | and thats the ONLY changes the site mentions. | 22:23 |
| cjwelborn | Maybe it was just the boot-repair that saved me. after it worked I didn't do a lot of digging. | 22:24 |
| zykotick9 | cjwelborn: be sure you are using whatever the newest version of ubuntu is... if it still doesn't work, be a good person and file a bug (though with ubuntu, that's kinda pointless...). | 22:24 |
| Dr_Willis | i imagine it was boot-repair. | 22:24 |
| unknown101 | Sup | 22:24 |
| Dr_Willis | hopefully someday they will include boot-repair on the normal ubuntu cd | 22:25 |
| Dr_Willis | they really need that , and perhaps some other 'recovery helper' utilities. | 22:25 |
| cjwelborn | isn't boot-repair discontinued? i could've swore I read that on the ubuntu-dev mailing list. | 22:25 |
| unknown101 | Ubuntu need a lot of fix.. | 22:25 |
| Dr_Willis | cjwelborn: not that ive heard of. | 22:25 |
| cjwelborn | ok | 22:25 |
| zykotick9 | OerHeks: is ubuntu-secure-remix a supported canoncial release? i've never heard of it either... | 22:25 |
| Dr_Willis | thats the thing about open sourced :) the stuff is hard to kill. ;) | 22:26 |
| unknown101 | Is there any possible way to update ubuntu to kubuntu without losing my apps and data? | 22:26 |
| Dr_Willis | zykotick9: site says its not official. and the site says teh ONLY changes is the inclusion of those 3 apps. | 22:26 |
| zykotick9 | unknown101: sure, install kde ;) | 22:26 |
| Dr_Willis | unknown101: just install kubuntu-desktop and you get both on the same install. | 22:26 |
| Dr_Willis | unknown101: you then select what desktop to use at the login screen | 22:27 |
| unknown101 | Can anyone give me terminal commants :) | 22:27 |
| Dr_Willis | I have most all the main desktops on this box for testing | 22:27 |
| Dr_Willis | sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 22:27 |
| unknown101 | Thanks | 22:27 |
| * Dr_Willis thinks that command is mentioned on the kubuntu faq/homepage ;) | 22:27 | |
| unknown101 | E: I was not able to locate a file for the gtk2-engines-oxygen package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package. | 22:28 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 22:56 |
| Ari-Yang | [18:54:13] <linuxthefish> is 13.10 better? ---> well it will have kernel 3.11... dynamic power management for AMD gpus | 22:56 |

| MikeyD | I'm having trouble getting linux headers installed in a virtualbox version of ubuntu. Anyone have a guide I can use? | 23:03 |
| genii | linuxthefish: I think it all depends on what you want to produce with your computer | 23:04 |
| TheDrums | MikeyD: Just installing linux-headers-generic isn't what you're lookin' for? | 23:05 |
| MikeyD | TheDrums: The install is failing. There is an option under AdditionalDrivers too, and that is failing as well. I do have an error log if it helps | 23:06 |
| MikeyD | TheDrums: http://pastebin.com/sJTtrxWL | 23:08 |
| TheDrums | MikeyD: Mhmm. That won't build without headers, so my guess is that's the error in /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox-guest/4.1.12/build/make.log | 23:10 |

| Killerav10 | I got Ubuntu and had it setup in dual boot with windows 7. After trying to update Nvidia drivers on Ubuntu it crashed and stopped working. When I went to reinstall Ubuntu, it just said it was going to delete Ubuntus old files but I beleive it rid of Windows | 23:19 |

| MikeyD | how do i delete items from HomeFolder that have delete greyed out? | 23:33 |
| jrib | MikeyD: pick one file and run "ls -ld /path/to/file". Then paste the output here | 23:33 |
| MikeyD | root root 4096 | 23:34 |
| jrib | MikeyD: in the future it's better to paste full output. But since you've seen already the owner is root, that is probably your issue | 23:35 |

| Obi1 | Hello people | 23:38 |
| MikeyD | jrib: I think through terminal | 23:38 |
| jrib | MikeyD: perhaps with sudo? | 23:38 |
| jrib | !sudo | MikeyD | 23:38 |
| ubottu | MikeyD: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 23:38 |
