Sorry, haven't been on irc in years [00:06] kangping, there is a bot here that if you have and issue you can sometimes type !issue and get help.

But I always get a low graphics version, that throws me unto the command line [00:08] Purging bumblebees packages won't set me back to defaults either...

In an ideal case, it would be secure, reasonably fault-tolerant, and reasonably easy to set up and maintain (if it can reuse existing servers I have -- like ssh or http -- that's ideal; but something that it's own server is okay too).

[00:25] no but my wifi LED always is on and it cant be off [00:25] 3.5.0-40-generic [00:26] alpha_, no that's now what I mean... [00:26] pmitros: well either use sshfs or sftp or (setup nfs or samba and a vpn) [00:26] haha [00:26] alpha_, chances are you aren't, go on ahead and reboot... the GRUB menu will appear, select ubuntu from it or wait 'til it times out [00:26] alpha_, after rebooting, come back here and tell me how it works out [00:27] knifes1234: could you please reduce the offtopic commands and stay focused on the technical support?

I need more detaild info about it & how can I "Manually" have an ISO boot & detect casper-rw file ? [00:28] So what alternatives to ath5k wifi driver is there? I have a US dlink DWL-G510 Rev. B [00:28] jrib: sshfs (and that's the only way I know to do an sftp mount as well) fails if the internet connection is momentarily down (or at least it did a few years back when I last tried it). [00:29] it seemt to be much cool [00:29] all guides say I need to format my USB & then use Universal installed fore linux & check the casper-rw option.. what If I already have ubuntu iso running from my USB, how can i create that file & start saving to it ? [00:29] alpha_, type dmesg | grep dpm in terminal and pastebin it [00:30] Oh. Interesting sshfs now has a reconnect option! [00:31] i install Ubuntu 12.10 it OK [00:31] Ari : http://paste.ubuntu.com/6117286/ [00:31] sonsor and latest expression [00:31] sensors* [00:31] alpha_, yep it worked, enjoy your non-heating laptop [00:31] is it normal ?

[00:32] alpha_, take a look at this also: www.botchco.com/agd5f/?p=57 [00:32] Hi all, i am running version 12.04. I recently suffered a power outage and now am having trouble booting. Right now the boot process is hanging at netbios name server. Any help? I'm not doing so well on Google. Thanks in advance. [00:33] Ari : http://paste.ubuntu.com/6117287/ [00:33] alpha_, okay, that's all, your laptop shouldn't heat up anymore [00:34] I'm off~ [00:34] testing [00:34] DesignerX, You might look here to see several options, it easier to do all this when you make the usb, you can have more than 4 gigs persistence if you have a usb big enough by using a partition. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD/Persistence#Creating_the_.22casper-rw.22_File_System [00:34] can it be more decreased ? [00:35] wilee-nilee: ty, the plan is NOt to use a parition but to use a file which I can copy/move later to a differnt location [00:35] DesignerX, Live usb's have their limitations though, no kernel upgrades it is just the iso and added installs or upgrades, and the casper will fill up and is not really cleanable efficiently. [00:36] hi how can i find the name of my sound card? [00:36] Ari : can it be more decreased ? [00:36] DesignerX, Moving the casper makes no sense [00:36] hi all , I am tring to convert an mkv to iso with mkisfs and i keep getting the error that allow-limit-size is not specified the command i am usinag is mkisofs -dvd-video can someone assist [00:36] alpha_, *shrugs* dunno [00:36] why? :| [00:37] wilee-nilee: shouldnt copying the file have all the setting & changes made ? this way I can configur Ubuntu & copy the changes to many USBs/harddrives ? [00:37] because it's hot now 58 'C [00:37] alpha_, the point of DPM is so that the gpu clocks up when it's needed and clocked down when more power isn't needed,that will prevent unnecessary heating [00:37] i want to be about 45 'C [00:38] alpha_, pastebin me a new sensors output... [00:38] alpha_, what kind of laptop is this? core 2 duo? i3? i5? [00:38] DesignerX, This is not an install but a live ISO, do a full install if you want that. a live environment has a lot of limitations. Theoretically possible yes, but not sure why one would want to even use it that way. [00:38] Ari : http://paste.ubuntu.com/6117300/ [00:39] Ari : Core i 5 3210-M --------- HP ProBook 4540 15.6" [00:39] jaaadoooooooooo [00:40] testing [00:40] wilee-nilee: well, the 1st is the install size 1Gb vs 7+GB . Most of the required things are just internet access , teamviewer, Skype & text editor [00:40] alpha_, your laptop's temp is fine... look at your old sensors http://paste.ubuntu.com/6117208/ and your new one http://paste.ubuntu.com/6117300/ [00:40] your gpu is about 10-11 degrees less [00:40] Avgva: could you please stop that testing in this channel? [00:40] DesignerX, Get a 8 gig or bigger usb and do a full install and you can clone it to another. That casper is the crux it fills up. [00:40] alright sorry [00:40] wilee-nilee: On a bigger US (32 GB), the only thing stopping me from a full install is not bieing able to install to a subfolder alonf side other linux distros [00:40] AMD or Nvidia GPU? [00:40] along * [00:41] Adie, AMD or nVidia for what? [00:41] DesignerX, Along side I'm not sure what you mean. [00:41] hi how can i find the name of my sound card? === |_ocke2 is now known as |_ocke [00:41] Ari-Yang, for ubuntu [00:41] if you mean what to get.... tbh I'd recommend nVidia for linux [00:41] kk [00:41] wilee-nilee: having Uvuntu, Mint & Puppy on one USB for example [00:41] Ari : yes ... thanks ... but what does temp6 = 127 mean ? [00:41] Adie, though AMD has better open source support right now [00:42] DesignerX, Yes you can multiple live or multiple installs. [00:42] alpha_, tbh I'm not sure what temp6 is :V [00:42] wilee-nilee: I cant find a way to install Ubuntu in a subfolder on my USB .. [00:42] wilee-nilee: oh ! any links please ;) [00:42] alpha_, it looks like it will always be that high... temp1-5 are no where neat hitting critical, so that's good [00:42] Ari : how can i be a expert like you about linux ? [00:43] DesignerX, You could have a install and boot live ISO's with grub, what links exactly? [00:43] alpha_, lol I'm no expert at all, I'm still learning myself xD Though, to be better, do a lot of googling and don't be afraid to ask questions. [00:43] alpha_, you could also hang around here to, you'll learn a lot. [00:44] wilee-nilee: installing more then one distro on one USB/1Partition .. I think it will mean having each distro in a subfolder [00:44] Ari : Do you know about programming ? [00:44] alpha_, I know a little... but I'm still learning myself. [00:44] ok [00:44] Ari : Can I add You ? [00:45] alpha_, btw you could join #ubuntu-offtopic for offtopic discussions etc., you can say that's the "lounge area" [00:45] alpha_, add me on what? [00:45] on IRC - Xchat [00:45] DesignerX, here is my favorite multi live to start with. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ On a usb dual bopoting is the same as a hard drive you just have to make sure grub is put in its mbr. [00:45] booting* [00:46] DesignerX, Do you know how to dualboot? [00:46] alpha_, uh, sure... I'm not sure how you would do that, but on hexchat it looks like you can just right click on the nick and select "add friend" [00:46] so you'd right click on my nickname... [00:46] wilee-nilee: I use grub4dos .. I still need to learn more how to add entries to the menu list [00:47] menu.lst * [00:47] DesignerX, grub4dos is a windows use you don;t need it in linux. [00:47] wilee-nilee: my USN is fat32, I though I need to use it for such filesystem ? & isnt the menu.lst work the same? [00:47] DesignerX, menu.lst is grub legacy we have grub 2 now i has the os-prober it finds the other OS's. [00:48] woow .. ok, guess time to get that [00:48] DesignerX, fat32 is for ISO's you would use ext4 or 3 for full installs. [00:49] DesignerX, If you have a ubuntu instal I would just use the multisystem iso loader in general, you can load iso till the usb is full. [00:51] gotta reboot back to linux [00:54] 4 down vote [00:54] [00:54] ffmpeg -i "input.mkv" -f avi -c:v mpeg4 -b:v 4000k -c:a libmp3lame -b:a 320k "converted.avi" [00:55] Why is Ubuntu’s default not to fsck the root filesystem on boot? [00:55] Is this a bug? Should I open a ticket? [00:57] wilee , u back ? [00:58] Goatman, Iy has been discontinued, you can do it youself. [00:58] DesignerX, yes [00:58] It* [00:58] WB :D [00:58] sure ;) [00:59] hi guys. i'm sitting in the middle of a university course on unix. i have no idea what i'm doing. can anyone point to any explanations? [00:59] Now I have most details needed to create a new Multiboot USB with Grub 2 [00:59] uh [00:59] krys: man bash [00:59] will using Puppy slacko to create the Grub2 is the same ? [00:59] DesignerX, multiboot ISO's or installs? [01:00] for now ISO's [01:00] DesignerX, You have a ubuntu install perchance? [01:00] i do not have a CD drive to install ubuntu from [01:00] Only in a VM, which I can connect the USB to it if needed [01:00] or a USB [01:01] DesignerX, Use this from the vm. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ [01:01] much easier, use gparted to format the usb to fat32 is all. [01:02] easy as pie, loads the iso and grub on each iso install [01:03] krys, For help you need to be specific is all. [01:04] wilee-nilee: ty very very much .. alot of useful info , time for me to test & get back to you with more problems lolz :D [01:04] cool, enjoy [01:05] krys: not sure exactly what you need but this may help ? http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/ [01:05] krys, You could do a vm of ubuntu if needed. === kling is now known as furoido [01:06] krys, unix and linux are similiar in many ways but different though, there are unix channels on freenode. [01:06] that Multiboot is very handy at pendrivelinux. it does pull in a LOT of dependencies to get it up on ubuntu. [01:06] thanks DesignerX. i don't know how to PM! [01:08] Dr_Willis, I don't see any dependencies added on a ubuntu desktop install, or the shell install, not sure what you mean. [01:08] it does a apt update though [01:08] maybe I missed them. lol [01:09] i'd like an installation from a partitioned drive. is this possible? (using that instead of CD/USB) [01:09] krys, really your best tool is having a cd or usb overall. [01:10] it can fix any number of problems [01:10] without this you are driving without a spare [01:11] thanks. i'll grab a USB sometime tomorrow [01:11] or a CD [01:12] krys, Check the ISO size chances are you needa dvd [01:12] ISO size? [01:12] usb is best though in general [01:13] krys, YOu download ubuntu in a ISO format, it has been slightly bigger thaan a cd's limit for several releases is all. [01:13] wilee-nilee: im thinking of --> http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ 'multisystem' ;) [01:14] wilee-nilee, ok [01:14] i will get a USB! thanks [01:14] krys: you can set up grub and iso files to boot from a Hard drive and install to a differnt hard drive I do that with my systenms and a large /boot/ partition [01:14] krys: this way i have like a 'live-cd-recovery' entry in grub so i can boot and fix things, or try other live cds [01:15] or reinstall.. quickly [01:15] Dr_Willis, I never noticed any dependencies when I install it using my gnome shell, however I see the apt update, maybe man fanboi use is blind to them. ;) [01:15] my* [01:15] Dr_Willis: are there any risks to your current hard drive? [01:15] wilee-nilee: i installed it the other day on a clean ubuntu install. pulled in several dozen packages about 200+mb total. I noticed because i was teathered to my phone [01:15] krys: if you format the hd by mistake. ;P [01:15] I have dual boot fedora and ubuntu, and I updated my ubuntu distro and now it wont recognize fedora [01:16] Ah I will have to look closer, I just use it without looking real cloe. [01:16] krys: my /boot/ was on its own partion. i was sure to tell the installer to install to the OTHER hard drive. [01:16] also my ubuntu distro won't connect to the internet [01:16] Dr_Willis: i don't lan on doing that! [01:16] close* [01:16] anyone using xorg-edgers drivers on 12.04? [01:16] plan* [01:16] krys: people rarely do.. :) but mistakes happen [01:16] rld, PPA's are not technically supported here.

[02:07] Darkening, boot a live cd and use the bootrepair app to run just the bootinfo summary to get the url generated to it, or if you like use the repair. the bot has it in its info. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [02:07] now, I'll look up the thunderbird generated trash to try clean it up [02:07] and just remove it === cubix``415 is now known as cubix` [02:08] I tried reinstalling it off my liveusb of ubuntu and it just told me boot error. and !fixgrub just gets me unknown command [02:08] pepper_chico: try #ubuntu-offtopic for likes/dislikes [02:08] IrcDroidClient, Cool, we had a user here yesterday who did this but had to wipe the HD and format it to msdos to get a install, I'm not sure removing just the recovery partition is the answer here. [02:09] @wilee-nilee you mean I'll have to do a fresh install with a full wipe? [02:09] and by full wipe - we mean zeroing out the drive :) [02:09] IrcDroidClient, I'm not sure to be honest I have not had to mess with a uefi computer yet, luckily. [02:10] via use of the dd, or other commands. [02:10] gotta get this gpt remnants [02:10] those* [02:11] ppl any comment ?. [02:11] My wireless card won't wake after my computer comes out of standby. I've looked up solutions but none of them have worked. I think my case is overcomplicated because I also use the ndiswrapper driver (because the normal one freezes the computer when it's on battery power). Can anyone help? This is on Linux Mint btw, but people on Ubuntu apparently have the same problem when dealing with Realtek hardware. [02:11] sure I like coffee more tha tea. [02:11] okay. will definitely do that today. good thing its a fresh install. [02:11] wilee-nilee: ive formatted one win8 machine lately with uefi and ubuntu installed out of the box, even no bios changement needed (for that machine) [02:11] @wilee-nilee and @Dr_Willis thanks :) [02:12] how do I use that bootrepair thing if I can't get into my actual os?

Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [02:12] Darkening: theres also a ubuntu secure remix that has it included [02:13] lotuspsychje, Cool, the user removed the W8 OS is all, The problem I have seen with these uefi setuos is the manufacturers versions of them it seems. [02:13] nerssi7: we can recommend you installing an ubuntu version from topic [02:13] setups* [02:13] mine boots only after I select boot options and select ubuntu. else it tries to boot windows by default every time [02:13] overclucker, so I just realized that I want to disconnect from the session ... and still have the master machine logging the output from the slave ... after I've killed the SSH connection I accessed the master machine with [02:14] IrcDroidClient: did you disable secure boot from bios? [02:14] ubottu: the Linux mint people have been very unhelpful unfortunately. The reason I use Linux Mint is because it's extremely lite on my low powered netbook. Ubuntu didn't run very well. [02:14] nerssi7: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:14] IrcDroidClient, I would use it as is if it were me unless you have the W8 OS backed up, you never know if you might want to get rid of it with W8 back on. [02:14] nerssi7: try lubuntu or xubuntu [02:15] @lotuspsychje yes I did. a [02:15] IrcDroidClient, You can tab complete nicks. [02:15] enabled legacy support too [02:15] do lubuntu or xubuntu have something as minimal as the mate desktop I can use with mint? [02:16] @wilee-nilee for some reason my nick isn't showing [02:16] nerssi7: yes they are very low resources [02:16] nerssi7, No mate, but cinnamon is in the raring repos. [02:16] IrcDroidClient, others nicks I mean [02:17] wilee-nilee: isn't cinnamon the heaviest desktop manager? [02:17] nerssi7, NO idea I used it for 5 min just to see it, never been a mint user. [02:17] neither do i [02:17] @wilee-nilee I'm sorry I don't understand :) [02:18] lubuntu is the lightest or its source lxde [02:18] ok I'll look into it [02:18] !tab | IrcDroidClient we don't use @ [02:18] IrcDroidClient we don't use @: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [02:19] nerssi7, There are even lighter desktops, but these are canonical release de's [02:19] wilee-nilee okay. sorry :) my bad. I'm typing with a phone though [02:19] There's nothing really wrong with Linux Mint, it's probably my favourite I've used so far (other than Debian), it's just this stupid wireless card problem. And I'm not convinced that it will be different on any other distro so I'm a bit reluctant to redo everything :( [02:19] IrcDroidClient, No problem just wanted you to know the options. ;) [02:20] nerssi7, Never said there was I used ubuntu long before mint was around is all. [02:21] wilee-nilee do you know how I can make my nick show? [02:21] IrcDroidClient, I see it, what irc app are you using?

[02:26] UserError, very little support for that os. [02:26] Uh, not really [02:26] if XP is on it, I'll assume it has like 500MB ram, so I'd say throw lubuntu on it or something [02:26] The devs actually listen to you [02:26] and it has less total bugs than unity ATM [02:26] guys lets keep this ubuntu support [02:26] UserError, Cool, we just see people here wanting support is all.

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [03:45] GeForce 9800 GT help me please [03:46] my installed my video card but now i have no sound [03:47] lotuspysycheje can you pm me, i don't know how to do this [03:48] how can i find what all files are owned by a certain group? [03:48] cellulagee: you need to describe your problem as detailed as possible in chat, and be patient... [03:48] lotuspsychje: it accurately identifies radeon x1950 card but all I can find on which driver is: "configuration: driver=radeon" [03:48] i deleted a group: ftpusers. and now when i open terminal it says: groups: cannot find name for group ID 1002 [03:48] al_la: yes radeon driver is installed for you then, got any errors with it? [03:49] lotusspycheje, thanks and I will do [03:49] lotuspsychje: problem w/ steam games and the linux drivers .. one possible fix was update or try using proprietary drivers [03:49] Gday all - ubuntu 13.04 64 here, trying to get nvidia-325 driver working - xorg says "no devices detected" - it's a 745M oblivion mobile card.

I installed a nvidia GeForce 9800 GT graphic card. Works but the only problem i have is there is no sound. desktop to tv motinor via an hdmi cord [03:51] lotuspsychje: perfect, thank you for the help. I have some more reading to do on this :) [03:51] al_la: you might indeed try the drivers from ati site, and disable the radeon one [03:52] cellulagee: no sound on ubuntu or no sound on your tv? [03:52] hi. so if I run apt-cache policy on a package, and see "precise-proposed" as opposed to something like "precise-updates", does that mean I have the wrong repos enabled? And by wrong I mean something akin to fedora testing or whatever? [03:53] GlenK: whats the packagename? [03:53] how do I edit rc.local using kwrite as root? kdesu says: Could not find the database of available applications, run update-command-not-found as root to fix this kdesu: command not found [03:53] lotuspsychje: well no sound from tv i'm assuming, the comp beeps when turns on but no sound from music, or anything of that sort [03:53] gksu: No protocol specified (gksu:4941): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0 === Jan11 is now known as ON1 [03:54] cellulagee: you bought the correct hdmi cable?? some cable version dont have sound [03:54] lotuspsychje: linux-image [03:55] lotuspsychje: far as I can tell, the kernel [03:55] Ofek: what dont you just gedit or nano edit the file? [03:55] command? === jeff__ is now known as jeff_liu_cn [03:56] Ofek: sudo gedit yourfilename [03:56] lotuspsychje: good question and I did not know that, how do verify and also is there a way to use the sound from the motherboard and not the video card. [03:56] so, Gabe Newell seems to think that Linux is the future of gaming... === kronos is now known as Guest14178 [03:57] cellulagee: well this isnt an ubuntu related question, try ##hardware channel [03:57] lotuspsychje: I have the headphone type cord into my tv, but even with headphones there is still no sound [03:57] Now, I get the argument that companies like Steam, Blizzard, Activision are used to Linux for their backends [03:57] !ot | Skipp_OSX [03:57] Skipp_OSX: #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! [03:57] lotuspsychje: thanks for the right direction [03:57] np [03:57] gotcha, support channel... [03:58] jesus gedit is 71mb? [03:58] !info gedit [03:58] gedit (source: gedit): official text editor of the GNOME desktop environment. In component main, is optional. Version 3.6.2-0ubuntu1 (raring), package size 519 kB, installed size 2699 kB [03:58] lotuspsychje: don't run X apps with sudo [03:58] Ofek: Are you trying to download gedit? [03:58] Ofek: maybe start reading a bit of basic ubuntu commands mate [03:59] apt-get install gedit said 71.5mb [03:59] Ofek: do you have ubuntu with no gedit? [03:59] Whonix [04:00] using Whonix [04:00] bummer, you have nano? [04:00] al_la, I do not recommend installing the driver from ATI's site... too risky. you should install it from ubuntu's repos instead. [04:00] you can select it from 'Additional Drivers' tab from software sources [04:00] lotuspsychje Ari-Yang:in installing the fglrx proprietary driver, is it really as easy as just cmd line installing that package from the repo? If I remove this, will ubuntu default back to the radeon open source driver? the help file (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI) is not too helpful [04:01] Ofek: /topic may enrich you with knoledge that it is Ubuntu support. [04:01] omg nano worked! [04:01] flotuspsychje Ari-Yang: in fact, I don't even see fglrx-installer as a package as the site mentions [04:01] al_la, in terminal type apt-cache search fglrx-amdcccle [04:02] al_la, you most likely aren't reading carefully, I used that page to install fglrx myself. [04:02] al_la, so what do you get after searching for fglrx-amdcccle in terminal? [04:02] if you see fglrx-amdcccle or fglrx-amdcccle pick either one, and install it with sudo apt-get install [04:03] al_la, I'm warning you, fglrx may cause problems for you :| [04:03] Ari-Yang: I see fglrx-amdcccle for the catalyst control center. the website just lists 'fglrx-installer' which I couldn't find. Does ubuntu gracefully roll back to radeon driver if I purge fglrx-amdcccle after experimenting? [04:04] last question, what is the nano command to save? ^WriteOut ? [04:04] Ofek: heeh [04:04] al_la, you can simply select the open source radeon and apply changes in 'Additional Drivers' from software sources [04:04] Ofek: ctrl-x [04:04] al_la, do it from there.. [04:04] Ari-Yang: ah, perfect, thanks for the help [04:04] ^x says exit [04:05] al_la, you're welcome, lets say if you do go back to the open source radeon and apply changes, run sudo apt-get purge flgrx* then proceed with rebooting. [04:05] Ofek: Ubuntu with tor may get you some support, help, same disrto, Whonix will not [04:05] al_la, what card do you have? [04:05] gpu [04:05] Ari-Yang: radeon x1950 [04:06] Ofek: Confirm exit? Y [04:06] ah ty [04:06] al_la, oh okay... You might actually be fine with fglrx then... good luck [04:07] Ari-Yang: will find out soon, I'm off to experiment! Thanks again for the help. [04:07] al_la, okay, come back here to tell if it worked out or not [04:08] ? for everyone, what chat room for ubuntu hardware can I find it? [04:08] I found one but it deals with everything os not just linux or ubuntu [04:10] cellulagee, for general hardware related questions, there is #hardware [04:10] cellulagee, I don't think there is a linux/ubuntu hardware channel, however there are ubuntu wiki's on hardware and computers that are certified. [04:10] cellulagee, And on cards...etc [04:14] When in octobor do they usually actually release ubuntu .10? [04:16] Yowl: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/05/ubuntu-13-10-release-schedule [04:16] wilee-nilee: how can i contact someone certified? [04:17] so anyone? if I'm seeing "precise-proposed/main" in a package description from apt-cache policy, that means development repos are enabled maybe? reason I ask, I'm seeing a 3.5 kernel on this 12.04 LTS box. [04:17] cellulagee, It's computers certified to run ubuntu, you can pay ubuntu for help if you look on their website. [04:19] thank you guys for your time and patience [04:20] Hm [04:23] You guys realize that software-properties could easily be made into a bash script right?

[05:17] !details|shepherdshift1, [05:17] shepherdshift1,: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [05:18] wilee-nilee: I was asking "cpu1" about his problem [05:18] hi anyone give information about cronjob [05:19] cpu1: You mean that is the speed the CPU is rated at, are you sure it's not a bios issue? [05:20] hey guys whats the proper way of mounting something thats a portable hard drive in lets say /media [05:20] so when i want to mount id do [05:20] sudo mount /media/Area51 (name of my drive) [05:20] and when i want to unmount i do [05:20] sudo umount [05:20] ? [05:20] You can just right click it [05:20] got a web server [05:20] " => / is using 86.9% of 21.17GB [05:20] " [05:20] to unmount [05:21] And often they automount when you put em in [05:21] du --max-depth=1 -h /, shows that / is using 19G.. [05:21] i was playing around with samba, and it made it auto mount my drive, so i had to in config change it to noautomount or what ever for samba and because of that [05:21] it does not mount my drive properly automatically [05:21] it says i must be root to mount [05:21] Psil0Cybin: But sudo unmount won't work because it needs a specificationof what drive to unmount [05:22] Yowl can i find out what file is making my drive not auto mount like before [05:22] Psil0Cybin: Then you have a problem, and it's not the command you are using [05:22] and cause these problems [05:23] Yowl It may be a bios issue, I because /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq does not exists, I just read in the forums have a list reasons (If it does not exist, you may need to go to the BIOS and turn on EIST and any other C and P state control and visibility) [05:23] well focus on whats causing the the root issue, then auto might work itself out. [05:24] Thanks guys for your help [05:24] Yowl, Ah, hard to tell without a nick, some users get ignores here so we do not see all posts. [05:25] thank you. ubuntu is boots bios then goes either to purple screen, black screen (sometimes with blinking cursor, sometimes without), then hangs. REISUB was not working, had to power cycle. i booted from a livecd and ran e2fsk on dev/sda, it gave an output i couldnt read before it logged me out and froze. i went into tty, logged in, rebooted to livecd again. went into gparted... and my sda dev was not there. ran fdisk -l.. [05:25] yowl [05:25] Psil0Cybin: Maybe ask wilee about your root issue [05:25] i get this problem [05:25] Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: [05:25] mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdb1 is already mounted on /media/Area51 [05:25] mount failed [05:25] . [05:25] Psil0Cybin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:25] Psil0Cybin: Then maybe it's already mounted... [05:25] but it wont let me see it through the file manager [05:25] thats what i get when i click on the drive. [05:26] Psil0Cybin: Go to media/area51 and look for it [05:26] ah [05:26] empty [05:26] now I see why you wanted a unmount command [05:26] for for any cross-posting, but #kubuntu seems kind of quiet. I'm trying to get ibus working for hangul input in kubuntu 13.04. but I'm having lots of problems, can someone help? [05:26] Psil0Cybin: And the drive you are trying to mount isn't empty/blank? [05:27] is not [05:28] Yowl [05:28] like i have to type [05:28] sudo mount /media/Area51 [05:28] to view my drive [05:28] and then i want to know how to unmount it because it does not work from the icon [05:29] sudo umount /media/Area51 [05:29] yeah of course [05:29] it seems its mounted under special permission restriction [05:29] Psil0Cybin: So did overclucks command work? [05:30] yea that worked [05:30] sudo umount [05:30] how can i fix this though so i can do what i did before [05:30] like eject by icon [05:30] well it should automount like normal next boot would be my guess [05:30] shepherdshift1, sda dev? sda is the HD [05:31] yes [05:31] and ejectable by icon [05:31] after mounted [05:31] So just mount it where you want it, but don't use sudo [05:31] shepherdshift1, can you elaborate on that dev would e in a partition [05:31] be* [05:32] shepherdshift1, Is gparted showing unallocated? [05:33] uh.. im not sure [05:33] Psil0Cybin: Are you good now? [05:33] shepherdshift1, is sda dev short for a OS? [05:33] no its the hard drive [05:34] shepherdshift1, So is the HD not showing? [05:34] correct [05:34] shepherdshift1, Ah, have you tried unplugging it the back in, was it failing? [05:34] then* [05:34] its an internal drive in a netbook [05:35] shepherdshift1, This is gparted from a live cd? [05:35] its the boot drive [05:35] yes [05:35] shepherdshift1, On all my netbooks and laptops it is 2 screws to access [05:36] ok.. i'm on the live cd right now... ill have to log off and back in again [05:36] but when i unplug Yowl [05:36] and plug the portable hard drive back [05:36] i have the same problem [05:36] i does not auto mount [05:36] it shows the drive but its grey out [05:36] and i get that same error message. [05:36] Psil0Cybin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:36] when i click on it through the file maanger. [05:37] back in a bit for an update [05:37] cool [05:37] Psil0Cybin: So it's automounting with sudo restriction. Do sudo unmount media/area51 then mount media/area51 please [05:38] says unmount command not found [05:38] so then umount [05:38] That way you unmount it, then mount it back in without sudo, and without sudo, hopefully it will be regularly accessible through file manager === jack is now known as Guest35857 [05:38] okay i did sudo umount [05:38] now [05:39] now [05:39] after i mounted it though on the file manager the eject icon disappeared [05:39] so its mounted now, and you can access it now? [05:39] yes [05:39] i can access it [05:39] cool [05:39] but i cannot eject it normally [05:40] like i would usually with an eject icon on the side [05:40] Maybe some funky software from the external drives causing this issue === Onixs_ is now known as Onixs [05:40] But I don't believe it would be too risky just to pull it out without unmounting [05:40] as long as its not being used at the time [05:41] But I am no expert, so you might ask someone else [05:41] can you unmount it with command? [05:41] Psil0Cybin: also your answer might be somewhere in here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB [05:42] Yowl, i pulled it out and plugged it back in and im ahving the same issue the drive appeared (grey outed) and i cannot view it it says i have to be root to mount [05:42] so now im forced to run those commands again. [05:42] Well my guess would be firmware or software problems of the HDD [05:43] probably not meant to run with linux like so many things [05:43] But you might check their website for stuff [05:43] or call the company tech support line (probably won't be useful, but worth a try) [05:44] Psil0Cybin: the article link I sent you should have all you need to know to have to get the disk to automount when plugged in [05:44] Otherwise just get use to running the commands, have them ready in a file, like notpad or something [05:44] im looking @it overclucker [05:44] thanks let me get back to you guys [05:45] well sounds like overclucker knows more, so I will leave you to it [05:45] Psil0Cybin: what mode is the partition mounted as when you type 'mount' in console? [05:45] how can i find otu [05:45] mount /media/Area51 [05:45] ? [05:45] Psil0Cybin: just mount by itself [05:45] definitely not [05:46] no arguments [05:46] overclucker ? [05:46] i get [05:46] Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: [05:46] mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdc1 is already mounted on /media/Area51 [05:46] mount failed [05:46] . [05:46] when i plug it in and try to access it. [05:47] Psil0Cybin: I mean only type 'mount' with no arguments [05:47] /dev/sdc1 on /media/Area51 type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096) [05:48] heh, I thought you were telling us not to argue : - p [05:49] Yowl: erm [05:49] the problem is i installed samba and tried to get samba to share the hard drive instead when i turned off the laptop i got it always trying to MOUNT it even if the drive is not plugged in so someone here told me to type in a command to stop auto mounting it [05:49] im wondering if i can delete some file and it will let it auto mount [05:49] or treat it like an unfamiliour drive [05:49] like it used too [05:51] Psil0Cybin: when does it automount? only on boot? [05:51] seems when plugged in [05:52] Psil0Cybin: What is samba for? [05:53] overclucker, it used to automount on boot before!! and i set some option to turn that off [05:54] and now i noticed it did this [05:54] but i cannot figure out what otpion i changed [05:54] hey guys, i was wondering is adding discard, noatime, nodiratime enough to spare SSD life and enable TRIM ? [05:54] adding to fstab [05:55] it's weird how the people who can afford SSDs are so worried about their lifespans [05:55] haha :) [05:55] well its not like i bought it easy [05:55] :D [05:55] it's also weird how they make SSDs larger than 30GB, though [05:56] or rather, how ones only 30GB are so hard to get [05:56] nechko, agree with reisio. set up a regular image cloning / backup system and go on about your day. Like HDD's, SSD's will fail. No magic bullet will prevent it, so plan ahead. [05:56] well just put the OS on the SSD [05:56] sigh [05:56] maybe [05:56] there is a file [05:56] it's all backed up in a million distro mirrors already [05:56] somewhere that sets settings for each mount? [05:56] Psil0Cybin: did you add an entry to /etc/fstab ? [05:56] perhaps [05:56] that looks familiour [05:56] anyways, this isn't the place to talk about SSD magic [05:56] try ##linux [05:56] Psil0Cybin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[05:59] fixed it [05:59] overclucker, [05:59] removed UUID=F8DA5A90DA5A4B50 /media/Area51 ntfs-3g defaults,nosuid,nodev,noauto,locale=en_CA.UTF-8 0 0 [05:59] #Entry for /dev/sda5 : [05:59] Psil0Cybin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[06:26] tabernaclfiasco so you have a dual boot of windows and ubuntu, right?

[06:28] however a ubunutu system may be controlled or exploited which im sure could be completely taking control of my box remotely [06:28] tabernaclfiasco: technically, sure, but there is no history of that [06:29] hmm [06:29] tabernaclfiasco: if you're worried about things like that, just set up an intrusion detection system [06:29] jnhghy: if it isn't a command in your PATH try 'locate' or 'find' [06:29] they keep track of your system, and make unsanctioned changes obvious [06:29] and easy to revert [06:29] tabernaclfiasco, if you're running windows, you're NOT running ubuntu. No opportunity (at present, so far as I know, no documented cases, et cetera, disclaimers) of infecting a NON-running system [06:30] lol [06:30] plenty of opportunity, but no documented cases I've heard of [06:30] reisio thanks just curious of the possibility [06:30] tabernaclfiasco: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSSEC [06:30] integrity checking, that's the ticket [06:30] know what you have, and whether it's been altered [06:31] Here's a pretty cool trick I learned from a PhD.

[06:34] hi guys, what's best practice for removing drivers (e.g. nvidia proprietary graphics drivers)? [06:34] hmmm... perhaps I am not screwed thou sayest to me? =) [06:34] ookuz, you can't in stock ubuntu, you have to reinstall and target only your specific driver with --no-install-recommends [06:34] Dragin: you aren't using chown properly, and are you sure you know the path you are trying to chown? [06:35] rechecking [06:35] thanks [06:35] Dragin: ~ short for your home, if you're trying to host something in www then /var/www shouldn't be there [06:35] btw... It is obvious even to me I screwed up the chown lol [06:35] gotcha [06:36] should just be /var/www, correct? [06:36] Dragin: yes [06:36] thanks guys.... err... girls? err... thanks =) [06:37] Dragin: i'm a talkin dog [06:38] Dragin: also, the contents of /var/www are usually owned be the same user that the http server is running as. or root.

[06:43] Still not real food the the x's and such, but it seems the user and root have access to all [06:43] food = good :P [06:43] If you want a 'dock' you can set the left side panel to auto hide then use a dock like above [06:44] yes the on in the left [06:44] shady_, you really cant move the panel. at least its not supported [06:44] theres some unofficial and buggy hacks out that might do it.. or may break the system badly [06:44] hmm [06:44] shady_: there are some solutions in the comments of https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/668415 IIRC [06:44] Ubuntu bug 668415 in Ubuntu "Movement of Unity launcher" [Undecided,Won't fix] [06:44] with that typo, its easy to see someone's got the munchies [06:45] hey guys! [06:45] ive definatly seen some of those solutions have worse issues then the panel :) [06:45] Dragin: can view /index.html in your web browser? [06:45] no [06:45] how should i know if it is supported or not [06:46] shady_, none are supported. the panel is supposed to stay on the left side [06:46] Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server. [06:46] shady_, if you want a panel at the bootom - use a dock likd cairo dock [06:46] that is from localhost AND from the web site if I use a different computer [06:47] should I chmod the folders? [06:47] to 755 or 777? [06:47] 777 is NEVER a good idea [06:47] ;) [06:47] Wiz_KeeD: hey [06:47] What's 755? [06:47] * Dragin is so lost when it comes to this...

[06:49] execute [06:49] X = executable [06:49] ahhh [06:49] one third of a blue film [06:49] 5 is r-x [06:49] so you dont want files executable if they are not === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [06:50] index.html almost has to be though, right? [06:50] executable? I VERY much doubt it [06:50] Dragin: it's better to use the alphabetical notation anyway. It gives you more control over what actually happens. [06:50] eh??? [06:51] Dragin: No, apache/your-web-server is running. HTML files are purely source/data files that are read by that program. [06:51] HTML only has to be read to achieve its entire use [06:51] written to be modifiable by a CMS [06:51] and never executable :p [06:51] :)) [06:51] right, and I will prolly have a cms there [06:52] most CMSes will tell you if they require permission changes [06:52] almost certain of that [06:52] of course, most CMSes are gaping security holes, too :) [06:52] even most that aren't written in PHP :p [06:52] reisio: NO - index.html should not need to be executable [06:52] BruceS: that's what he said.

[07:17] so do you have a /home/jeff/public_html/index.html file on the machine?

Just 1 [07:21] type that into a terminal and paste the resulting text at pastebin.com and give us the url [07:23] http://pastebin.com/j0nfQQDk [07:24] Why do I get the feeling .home needs to be for root and for jeff? [07:24] then it seems like a apache conf problem === andrex is now known as andrex|off [07:24] and you don't need root on anything [07:24] for apache to be able to navigate to public_html [07:25] nope [07:25] ok [07:25] so then I need to look at my apache.conf?

I just sudo gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.... it is blank =( [07:29] alpha_: wine is not 500MB... [07:29] wait! [07:29] ? [07:29] Maybe not. I goofed again [07:29] Dragin: you should use gksudo for graphical applications, not sudo [07:30] Brilliant Wafflejock - that seems to have done the trick! Many, many thanks.

Trying to setup dokku for my newbie projects. [09:24] I am new to the world of development and I thought it would be helpful to have my own ec2 instance to deploy to. [09:24] Currently I deploy to heroku but i thought I should give dokku a try. [09:25] dan00b_river, seems a good idea. well, as the new kernel seems not to be in the repo yet, I guess you can wait for it or (if you're impatient) dpgk -i the .deb [09:25] hmm. now that's a relief. I thought I was doing something wrong! === svenk is now known as Guest75738 [09:25] cfhowlett: would you recommend I go ahead and dpgk -i it? [09:26] *dpkg -i, sorry [09:27] Thing is, I've already setup my wordpress blog on the EC2 instance. Else I would've simply terminated and fired a new 13.04 which comes with the default 3.8, IIRC... [09:27] dan00b_river, come on. surely there's a way to update the kernel and NOT lose your wordpress? I don't know but .. there's GOT to be a way. [09:28] cfhowlett: two ways if I've performed my google-fu correctly. [09:28] one is dpkg -i [09:28] second is to take a copy/snapshot/something like that. to a new instance. === Bazou is now known as Bazoukiwi [09:29] terminate the old one, fire a new one and copy back. [09:29] I'm not entirely sure about the second, being a total greenhorn about the whole thing. Hence, apprehensive. [09:30] AS for the the first, slightly worried whether 3.8 plays well with 12.04 [09:30] dan00b_river, maybe ask in #ubuntu-server? pretty sure there's also an amazon channel about as well. [09:30] good lead. I'll ask them. [09:30] Thanks a ton for the time and help cfhowlett [09:31] Sorry to have trouble you with a newbie's stupidity. :) [09:31] dan00b_river, best of luck to you. [09:31] dan00b_river: why bother upgrading to a possibly problematic kernel? [09:31] dan00b_river, NO apology needed. we all started as noobs [09:31] gordonjcp: Didn't know it is problematic until you mentioned it. Trying out dokku, hence wondering if I should. [09:32] dan00b_river: on a server you typically don't want the lstest and greatest [09:32] *latest [09:37] sorry gordonjcp, latest and greatest? help a newbie out here, what if the latest and greatest doesn't work with the rest of the O?. [09:38] *rest of teh OS? [09:39] <[Gentoo]> i think he means you want to stay with a stable kernel thats gona have support [09:40] [Gentoo]: Oh, okay. I would want to stay with that, but then there's the tempation of dokku and deplying to my own instance rather than heroku. [09:41] Turns out #ubuntu-server is an empty channel. Is there a channel for Amazon EC2? === james is now known as Guest28730 [09:46] dan00b_river: There is ##aws Which says it has support for EC2 and other AWS services [09:46] DJones: Awesome, thanks.

[10:39] You don't I guess. If a user is not in the channel anymore they disappear from the tab list [10:40] So I can't tab their nickname [10:41] Hmm. Just turned off joins/parts myself. Thanks for the tip. :) [10:42] Now the question I have to answer for myself is this: Do I wait and learn more or do I jump head first and do: http://www.howopensource.com/2012/12/install-kernel-3-7-raring-in-ubuntu-12-10-12-04-11-10-11-04/ [10:43] ..and run the risk of destroying evrything I've created. [10:43] (which isn't much, but still...) [10:43] dan00b_river: there are backports kernel for 12.04. just see the enablement stack [10:43] k1l: Uhh, could you n00b that down for me? === rvncerr is now known as bydlo [10:44] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [10:44] thanks, reading it now. [10:45] and i hope you are not on 11.04 or 11.10 anymore :/ [10:45] Nope 12.04.3 [10:46] I love 12.04 LTS [10:46] I'm still learning to love LTS. :D [10:46] I always use LTS. Certainly helps you avoid changes that are still in the works [10:47] dan00b_river: but if you are using a ec2 instance i dont think that is gonna work. [10:47] I want to get my matrox cards running but 12.04 seems to be to new [10:47] k1l: I was afraid you'd say that. :/ [10:48] dan00b_river: a ec2 is not a regular install. that should be clear in the first place. you cant just follow ordinary howtos [10:48] I am now trying to check if there's a way to get dpkg -i the 3,8 kernel and use the pvgrun that Amazon offers to get the instance to boot into it rather than the default 3.2 [10:48] *pvgrub, sorry [10:49] k1l: Oh, I learnt that alright. I learnt that the hard way... :( [10:50] win 2 [10:50] The process looks a little scary (understatement of the year) but if I'm careful at each step (wait, THIS is the understatement of the year) then maybe... [10:51] Anybody got any other ideas? [10:52] i dont think you could exchange the kernel. i would recommend to talk to the ec2 support if you really need some special kernel [10:53] Yeah, I guess I'll have to do that.. [10:54] anyway, heading out for a bite. Will check back later to see if anyone has anything more to offer.

[12:38] cariveri, yes, at least for my distro installs 20GB is normally , my / partition , unless u install a ton of apps. etc [12:38] cariveri: depends where you plan on storing stuff if you plan on installing stuff to your /home then yea should be fine [12:38] cariveri: yes, I use 10Gb. Depends on needs [12:38] 1 screenshot remains [12:39] I gave / 15 GB an now im running out of space. it was obvious since my last upgrade. [12:39] cariveri: it depends strongly on what you like to do. if you need to install a lot of apps, you're probably looking for a bit more [12:39] i need help installing cedar drm driver... anyone ? [12:39] cariveri: got 50 GB on / here [12:39] Luyin: I originally hoped apps were put on /home wich is larger.

[12:44] mjayk: yes, Windows has a resizer for NTFS and NTFS is proprietary to Microsoft who make Windows [12:44] mjayk: hmm ok. perhaps I should reconsider freeing space and putting /usr on a seperat partition. what size woudl you suggest?

[13:00] Clifford_: Many people don't know that ubotto is a bot. It's not a joke x) [13:01] cfhowlett , nah I completed upgrade from 12.04 to 13.10 having some troubles with it but finaly my machine is very new :) [13:01] is there anyway to use the BCM43211 chipster (for wireless), without using ndiswrapper? as in a natively supported driver for Linux? [13:01] Clifford_: yes bt its a package and makes things easier for you [13:01] chipset* [13:01] Clifford_: you dont need any 3rd party stuff [13:01] Clifford_: the how to explains it all and gives the commands to run and you will get what you desire [13:02] cfhowlett - I am thinking about Blackubuntu - CD but one man recommended me virtualisation program.... [13:02] traplin, not be sound like a knob, but u can get intel or other brand internal wifi radio for your laptop on ebay? wifi N , etc ? [13:02] can anyone tell me how to recreate the www-data group? [13:02] if u really want to make things easier, that is [13:02] sulo__: xubuntu and lubuntu are light and suppored here. Blackbuntu is not supported here in any way [13:02] sulo__, I have no basis to compare so ... no opinion. [13:03] almostworking: i am on a desktop, and unfortunately not, i want to see if i can first get my USB dongel to work before buying a different device [13:03] sulo__, why woudl you want to run bbuntu? [13:03] almostworking - to be honest I heard about some cracking and they shown that in blackubuntu :D [13:03] asdf-: No idea, I'm sorry. What's your Ubuntu version? [13:03] Rory: I got no such option [13:03] ActionPalsnip: in what way is it easier? [13:04] almostworking - I mean cracking Router's setup :) [13:04] oh, ok traplin , i got a $14 USB small wifi for my desktp a long time ago works great , Airlink101 is brand. some other nice ones out there too with excellent linux support [13:04] the first one is "run ubuntu live" [13:04] almostworking: it did work, but then i installed a newer kernel (to deal with heavy performance / cpu issues). but that broke the ndiswrapper and basically it can be fixed [13:04] traplin: wireless usb dongles are one of the only hardware parts that still have awful linux support i think ndiswrapper may be your only option [13:04] sulo__, oh, well ud prob. be best to use a VM for that kinda thing. [13:04] almostworking: oh okay. i can look into that [13:04] sulo__: cracking wifi is also not supported her [13:04] kalekipl: oh! a bot huh! no wonder [13:05] Clifford_: my name clearly ends with a "one" (1) [13:05] mjayk: yeah got it to work with ndiswrapper on the kernel packed with 13.04, but with a newer kernel, it didn't work anymore [13:05] its woth it, i still use mine traplin , it comes in handy, i dont need it since i redid entire houses networking. [13:05] it is worth it* [13:05] only $11 - $15 [13:05] almostworking: think i could get it in South Africa? [13:05] ActionsPalsnip - Ii already tried some drivers for my wifi because my wifi card doesnt support natively injection of packets but It didnt work for me :( [13:05] traplin: any reason you upgraded your kernal ? if no specific reason you may be better of switching back [13:05] Clifford_: You can also do: (type) "kal" + (press) [tab] [13:05] dtcrshr: What options do you have? There should be "Try Ubuntu without installing", "Install Ubuntu" and an option to check the medium for errors [13:05] traplin, yea, you have ebay there yes? [13:06] almostworking: yeah but shipping here is a bit of a risk. lots of things get stolen :/ [13:06] oh i assumed you had a local ebay there. [13:06] kalekip1: sorry about that, i didn't notice [13:06] almostworking: unfortunately not. but i am looking online now [13:06] thanks for the help [13:06] sulo__: what wifi chip does it use ? [13:06] Clifford_: Don't worry :p [13:06] almostworking: do i detect sarcasm :D [13:07] you dont know anyone that is state side traplin , send you a wifi USB maybe some other stuff in a teady bear , or something? [13:07] ActionPalsnip - if you mean Atheros 9285 is it right, now I have driver ath5k.sys right now [13:07] almostworking: haha unfortunately not. is the airlink supported out of the box? [13:07] i found one on amazon, which ships to south africa fairly safely [13:08] now about extraction and installation, does someone have any idea on how to go about it [13:08] anybody knows if the gtx 660 works on ubuntu with the hdmi connection? [13:08] <[Gentoo]> tucemiux: why shouldnt it [13:08] tucemiux: afaik yes no reason why it shouldnt [13:08] Clifford_: What are you trying to do? [13:08] the airlink 101 adapter i have , im sure they make more then one has worked with 95% of the distros i have tried. linux mint 12 i think didnt like it but other then that every debian based distro i have put at it ....... worked fine [13:08] [Gentoo], because ive been trying it and it doesn't work [13:08] ActionPalsnip- If you know command to show informations about my devices you can tell it me now I cant remember how It was [13:08] <[Gentoo]> tucemiux: the drivers support that card [13:09] Rory: I am trying to extract and install xampp [13:09] Rory: or lampp [13:09] edimax is another that is popular, i think thats based of memory people also use them for rasberry Pi . which im working on now after i get my dual boot done. [13:09] [Gentoo], would you happen to know how to install the drivers because im trying whats on the forum from what obuttu tells me and it's not working on my machine [13:09] !nvidia [13:09] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [13:09] almostworking: do edimax use ralink chips ? [13:10] <[Gentoo]> my gf uses the tiny edimax usb [13:10] tucemiux: what drivers are you currently using [13:10] <[Gentoo]> dont work without downloading the driver [13:10] i really dont know mjayk , i just know that its supported hardware for rasberry pi. which most people run debian based distros on [13:11] ahhhh, see [Gentoo] knows what im talking about [13:11] the airlink is the same way, just works " out of the box" so to speak [13:11] !lamp | Clifford_ read this information [13:11] Clifford_ read this information: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process. [13:11] mjayk, according to the forum, the first thing i should try is System->Administration->Hardware Drivers, which is not installed on my machine, so i went to the software center and installed the current drivers, now i have really small resolution that cant be changed [13:12] never gonna get back to my PS3 game, i just wanted a URL for dual bootin since the ubuntu installer cant shrink my NTFS without windows freaking out? [13:12] i might switch out this hard drive in this thinkpad anyway thou , hmmm. [13:12] tucemiux: the system admin hardware drivers way is out of date [13:12] tucemiux: try this [13:12] tucemiux: sudo apt-get install arandr [13:13] tucemiux: then run arandar from terminal [13:14] tucemiux: arandr [13:15] Rory: I have read the info. Can it be done with an outdated version of ubuntu [13:15] mjayk, will that help me install the drivers? The first time I tried it xrandr only had one resolution available, i reimaged the machine, tried installing the drivers and now im back tow here i started, i booted up to safemode and im currently running a check disk [13:15] Clifford_: no [13:15] Clifford_: How outdated? What version? [13:15] Rory: 11.04 [13:15] No [13:16] are wifi PCI cards supported mostly by Ubuntu? [13:16] You will need to upgrade to 12.04 or later, in order to be able to download from the repositories [13:16] tucemiux: arandr should allow you to select the correct res once you have the drivers installed [13:16] what is the best way to recreate the user & group 'www-data'? [13:16] traplin, i dunno, a good brand is a safe bet thou. [13:16] traplin: Yes, it doesn't matter if it's PCI or whatever, the part that matters is the wireless chipset [13:17] mjayk, the trick is "once you have the drivers" installed. How do I know if I have the drivers installed? [13:17] Rory: is there possibly a page that has a list of supported chipsets? [13:17] !repeat | asdf- [13:17] asdf-: 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/ [13:18] traplin: Tale a look here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported [13:18] * almostworking is curious what Clifford_ needs to do...... [13:18] Rory: thank you [13:18] traplin: generally, Ralink 2500/RT2400 (802.11G), Realtek RTL8180 (802.11G), and the Atheros AR9170 chipset (802.11N) [13:18] Rory: ok, thanks [13:18] traplin: If I were you I'd avoid Broadcom chipsets if you have the option [13:19] oh is Clifford_ lookin for supported wifi too ? [13:19] Rory: yeah, i have a USB broadcom chipset, so i am seeing if i can get a realtek one now [13:19] No almostworking he is trying to install Apache etc [13:19] oh ok [13:20] mjayk, how is arandr supposed to change my resolution when it only has one available(640x480) [13:20] tucemiux: you said you had drivers installed [13:21] tucemiux: there are many ways to install drivers either through the software center or through the vender website [13:21] almostworking: supported wifi? seriously? [13:22] mjayk, that's what im trying to do, I asked for help installing the drivers - I showed you the first step I did in my attempt and now I have low resolution [13:22] Rory: http://www.dlink.com/us/en/support/product/dwa-121-wireless-n-150-pico-usb-adapter , would that possibly work with Ubuntu on a different kernel to the generic? [13:23] tucemiux: then you did it incorrectly, what version of ubuntu are you using [13:24] mjayk, i installed the 'current driver' using the software center, rebooted the machine and now am on low graphics [13:24] lots of talk in here Clifford_ , im tried trying to keep up, some people might not want to dive into CLI to get wifi working, and just spend $10 , if thats the seriously part [13:24] tucemiux: again what version of ubuntu are you using [13:24] tucemiux: you have a dual graphics card ? ati ? [13:24] im also tired, and never got my dual boot on [13:24] codename: raring [13:24] Hello... I'm facing a problem while automatically setting my timezone with a configuration manager since around last month. I used to copy the /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix file to /etc/localtime and since my last change in configuration, that is yesterday, it broke and I had my clock set to UTC. The last working configuration was from Sep. 05, using an auto generated AWS AMI with the latest updates (raring release). On further investigation, I found that the f [13:24] that I used to copy was now turned to a symbolic link, while previously it was a regular file. I tried to find a changelog for these updates online but failed. Can someone tell me if there were changes in that respect or where can I find the changes on release updates? Thanks in advance. [13:24] mjayk, raring 3.8.0-30-lowlatency [13:25] coalwater, no, i have an nvidia gtx 660 [13:25] tucemiux: so in the "current drivers" menu you had more than one to choosefrom ? [13:25] I thought nvidia was easier on ubuntu with the bumblebee project [13:26] mjayk, in the software center- yes but how do I check to see what's currently installed? I had the vga drivers and that at least gave me a usable resolution [13:26] tucemiux: to find out what you installed go back to current drivers and look whats selected [13:27] gallois: why not just recofigure it using `sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata` ? [13:28] if you have inxi installed tucemiux you can output ur diver info into the channel....... /exec -o inxi -Gx [13:28] mjayk, im not sure what you mean about going back to "look whats selected"? You mean in the software center? That's what they are called, the drivers are called "Nvidia binary X.Org driver('current' driver)" [13:28] tucemiux: yes and there are more to select from ? [13:28] coalwater: I did that to fix the servers that are running, but since I use autoscale to handle the traffic, my next servers will now launch with a wrong tz setting [13:28] almostworking, im using my laptop to irc, I can't irc on my desktop because of the tiny resolution [13:28] <[1]Roach> Hi everyone, I have a question [13:29] Hi, [1]Roach. === levin is now known as Guest43694 [13:29] mjayk, sorry if I didnt tell you this already but yes - the software center gives me 3 options, version 96, current driver, and version 173 [13:29] !details | [1]Roach [13:29] [1]Roach: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [13:29] coalwater: I'm intending to change the puppet files that copy the file to deal with the modifications, but I would also like to know where can I find out about those changes [13:29] ah ok...... tucemiux . well when ur on your computer in terminal you can do inxi -Gx and that will output your display information. [13:30] just fyi [13:30] other stuff inxi does too === me is now known as Guest13016 [13:30] <[1]Roach> I'm trying to run Ubuntu 13.04 along side windows 8 but everytime I load it my screen goes full black and nothing happens afterwards [13:31] !nomodeset | [1]Roach This sounds like a starting point for black screen problems, [13:31] [1]Roach This sounds like a starting point for black screen problems,: 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 [13:31] [1]Roach: what video chip do you have? [13:32] almostworking, inxi is not a package known to my ubuntu o.O [13:32] <[1]Roach> Okay thank you, and I have no clue right now I just woke up [13:33] gallois, I dont really know where the settings are, sry, tried `locate` but couldn't find a config file [13:33] yea, i just realized that, my primary OS isnt ubuntu , im in a VM and trying to figure out best way to dual boot on a thinkpad i just got [13:33] * almostworking has a VM to handle specific things [13:33] [1]Roach: does the system have a make and model? [13:33] hi 2all [13:34] Welcome, UNIm95. [13:34] anyway, u can wget inxi , off the top of my head i cant say the long string to do that thou , [13:34] almostworking, what do you mean the "best way" to dual boot? Get 2 hard drives and dual boot. You dont have 2 hard drives? Then what do you currently have? [13:34] tucemiux: what is the outpur of "inxi -Gx" ? Can you put it on http://paste.ubuntu.com [13:34] inxi: command not found [13:34] its a Thinkpad, it has one drive and its a X61 so cant really do two hard drives tucemiux [13:34] x61 [13:34] coalwater: it's cool... I can work around it, no problem at all, was just trying to track it down to its source so I can be more robust from now on :) [13:35] tucemiux: What Ubuntu version are you using? [13:35] Currently i have 2 ufei os'es win7 and ubuntu, by default i none of the 2 would book, the grub wouldn't start, i need to press f10 on the boot and explictly choose grub,otherwise it will hang on black screen, already tried boot-repair twice, no change, any idea anyone ?

[13:37] [1]Roach: nothing tricky, right? [13:37] almostworking, how is your hard drive partition right now ? [13:37] the thinkpad, pure windows right now, ive not touched it yet. [13:38] so one big NTFS partition. [13:39] is there any resources where I can find the changelog of each update of a specific release, e.g. raring?

[13:41] kalekip1: maybe he means the latest iso [13:41] <[1]Roach> I'm thinking it is something wrong with the laptop itself [13:42] Alpha_ apt-get update && apt-get upgrade [13:42] [1]Roach: Yes, the monitor I think. [13:42] DJones: ;) many thanks [13:42] alpha_: do you mean an iso or upgrading ur current installation ? [13:42] kalejip1 : I do that but ubuntu is not update yet ...

[13:43] alpha_: Just get the correct ISO [13:43] <[1]Roach> I'll have to go and get it checked then. Thank you everyone for all the help. [13:43] alpha_, you have to sudo apt-get upgrade, as well [13:43] should I change the repository settings ? [13:43] i never said i just installed windows tucemiux , i have it sorted out, appreciate your concern thou, i have 6TB of storage on the desktop , i just havent had windows on a personal machine dual booting since ubuntu v6 [13:43] anyone knows what happened to the software sources ? [13:44] tucemiux: What do you mean? Which software sources? [13:44] tucemiux meaning? [13:44] Tucemiux they are hidden in synaptic [13:45] almostworking, its a lot easier nowadays doing the dual boot but you always have to be careful, I installed linux first and then windows, I have 2 hard drives, all I had to do is install ubuntu, then windows, update grub, finished ! [13:45] UNIm95, thanks ill give it a look see [13:45] my screen brightness did not work as well i use the fn key ... ? [13:46] Tucemiux it is in preferences-repository [13:46] UNIm95, right you are, theyre hidden in synaptic, I finally found them [13:47] Tucemiux in xubuntu they are in menu-system [13:47] UNIm95, its in synaptic, I found it [13:48] Ok=) [13:48] anyone knows what nvidia drivers I should be using for a gtx 660?? I'm looking at "Additional Drivers" in "software & Updates" [13:49] tucemiux: im sure if u google that youd get a btter answer [13:50] mjayk, goggle brings me a lot of stuff that doesn't work anymore, even ubottu is of now help nowadays [13:50] How can I install software with apt-get much faster ? Its very Slow [13:50] hmmm, usually I install windows first, the grub of the past didnt like sharing the MBR with liunx. [13:50] tucemiux: well the fist link on google seams to be good to be [13:50] *me [13:50] alpha_, get a faster internet connection, preferably close to the source [13:51] tucemiux: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ubuntu-ringtail-nvidia.html [13:51] tucemiux : How do it ? [13:51] Alpha_ what is slow? apt download evrything from internet. So it is so fast as your internet [13:51] but this thinkpad doesnt have anything important on it, its a fraction of the storage of my desktop which stores almost everything, off site backup , but to keep it simple, desktop is the main machine in the house [13:52] mjayk, that looks really neat, thanks for the link! I'm going to try the noveau display driver first [13:53] UNIm95 : The download speed of the apt-get is about 1/10 my real internet speed [13:53] hi [13:53] Anyone frm India/ [13:53] m indian [13:53] alpha_ try this https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4653463/ubuntu_speed.txt [13:53] Riskwrq: the location of people doesn't matter in this channel.

Preferably, just move to a place that's close to the ubuntu servers and get a T1 line in your new dig [13:53] ok [13:53] it's quite weird. afaik, ubuntu's servers are fast [13:53] !in [13:53] #ubuntu-in is the channel for Ubuntu in India [13:53] Alpha_ it is problem of repository server.

[13:56] ikonia, actually, it's very useful, I can just say hello to the user instead of having to explain to him this is a support channel etc. etc. [13:56] !ot [13:56] #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] Question: what is official language of this channel? [13:58] !in [13:58] #ubuntu-in is the channel for Ubuntu in India [13:58] UNIm95: English [13:59] DJones, but when youre helping somebody and someone is helping you - you dont really have the time to be "personal" with someone that is politely starting with the pleasantries - just go ahead your question, if someone can help you - they will help you, if not then just wait [13:59] just my 2 cents though, a lot has changed and haven't really kept up with the changes [14:00] Djones and why we can not use here other languages? English should be on #ubuntu-en. [14:00] blackberry messanger exclusive on samsung phones.. crap [14:01] UNIm95: because speaking 100 different languages on a single channel simply doesn't work, and english is the default. [14:02] UNIm95: Its been that way since I started using Ubuntu with 6.06, the majority of other languages have individual channels, it helps avoid confusion having single language channels [14:02] ok [14:03] mjayk, i'm stuck on "Applying changes..." you think that's a good sign? :-( [14:03] I cannot sudo apt-get update or even ping www.google.com. What is my problem? http://i.imgur.com/udRPS7f.png [14:03] I am ssh in [14:03] gateway and nameserver are set correctly [14:04] abradley: can you ping the gateway and do you get a response from nslookup www.google.com [14:04] Hi all [14:05] ping gateway yes [14:05] nslookup no [14:05] do you get a response from ping 8.8.8.8 ? [14:05] abradley chek your dns [14:05] Check* [14:06] I need to install the same server repeatedly with a base ubuntu-server image, with some specific (but not overly complicated) RAID/LVM partition layout. In the current environment setting up a PXE infrastructure is not an option; I need to install from a DVD. Is there an easy way to create a custom DVD that will set up my disks and install automatically? [14:09] tucemiux: hoe long has it been stuck [14:10] alephant: Yes. [14:10] !preseed [14:10] jhutchins: googling, thx [multitasking ftl] [14:11] morning folks. I was given this string last week and was told to make sure it's installed "php5-curl build-essential". I got php5-curl installed. What about build-essential, what is it? [14:11] my load is too high :-( [14:11] thrashing [14:11] alephant: debian, and I presume ubuntu, has preseed, which is a script like answer file that automates the install, specifies packages, and can perform scripted configuration.

[14:12] defaultro: for ubuntu or certain applications [14:12] oops [14:12] defaultro, build-essential gives the default coding languages compiler stuff, like gcc etc [14:12] wrong guy [14:12] kalekip1: *I* am thrashing; *my* load is too high :-/ [14:12] is it something that i need to install? [14:12] alephant: sorry, wrong person, I wanted to send it to defaultro [14:12] alephant: I haven't used it, but I use kickstart in RHEL/Centos a lot. We serve the kickstart file from a web server within the network, and manually specify the kickstart and the ip address at boot. [14:12] most definitely defaultro [14:12] what is it called? [14:12] defaultro: it is if you intend to compile from source [14:12] jhutchins: yep, but for reasons that aren't important that stuff isn't an option in this particular case [14:12] build-essential or build-essentials [14:12] * No_One looks [14:13] alephant: In other environments I have re-mastered the CD to include the kickstart file, giving me a (dangerous) drop-in, reboot, and autobuild CD.

[14:13] yes [14:13] ah, I didm;t know it was a package :) [14:13] installing it now [14:13] ok [14:13] have fun [14:14] alephant: You'll want a red Sharpie to label it "DANGER!".

[14:41] hey [14:42] Welcome, tester_. [14:42] what is gng on [14:43] I'm confused about when ~/.bashrc vs ~/.bash_login vs ~/.profile etc... can someone point me to a solid explanation? [14:43] tester_: this is a support channel [14:43] Hello, not sure if this is the correct place to ask but I am running Ubuntu 12.10 ans was wondering how I would go about altering the code for the pwd command. For example, where do I get the source from and what should I do while recompiling so it overwrites the current command? [14:43] Jamo_: Why on earth would you ever need to do that? [14:44] Jamo_: What result are you trying to achieve? [14:44] Jamo_, download the source code from the repos and hack your little heart out. [14:44] Jamo_: I can pretty much guarantee, based on that question, that there is a better solution to your problem. [14:44] Currently I can't seem to find an option for pwd to add a backslash when there is a space in the folder path, I was going to add this feature for my use [14:45] cfhowlett: yeah, I know but I wanna install the java7 oracle 32bits package in a 64bits machine [14:45] but the package is for all archs [14:45] mustmodify: There probably is, but I can almost guaruntee I won't learn as much from it [14:45] look: http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu/pool/main/o/oracle-java7-installer/ [14:45] Jamo_: I'd define an alias to do that. You seriously risk breaking things by modifying your shell's source to do that. [14:45] Jamo_: pwd | sed 's/\ /\\ /' [14:45] cfhowlett: I wanna force it to install the 32bits package [14:45] Pici: That's probably safer, but I don't really know much shell. [14:46] Although Rory's solution looks like it would work actually [14:46] mfilipe, and sudo apt-get intall gives you >>> what? [14:46] how do i add new program in linux to create a new linux [14:47] Could you re-phrase that tester_ ? [14:47] there has got to be a tool you use to escape a string... pwd | something [14:47] mustmodify: read my answer above [14:47] Rory: I believe that woiuld only alter the first instance [14:47] Jamo_: pwd | sed 's/\ /\\ /g' [14:48] cfhowlett: it installs the 64bits package [14:48] Rory: Perfec, thank you [14:48] perfect* [14:48] mfilipe, ah, well. You could download the 32bit .deb and then sudo dpkg -i foo.deb [14:49] cfhowlett: but the package downloads the java7 for 64bits through the oracle website :( [14:50] mfilipe, go directly to oracle and download the 32bit file from them [14:50] im running ubuntu server 10.04 LTS does cgroups work on ubuntu 10.04 or do i need to upgrade to 12.04 [14:50] cfhowlett: and configure through java-alternatives? [14:50] ? [14:50] mfilipe, I've never done it, so that would only be my guess.

[14:52] Sorry to bother you again Rory, but the "pwd | sed 's/\ /\\/g'" command does not insert a space after the "\", meaning its not formatted correctly. How do I fix this? [14:52] Nevermind, was my mistake [14:53] Jamo_: I was going to say, what crazy sed are you running? Glad it's working [14:53] Rory: Haha, thanks for the help :) [14:53] thanks guys im all set [14:56] Is there a tool that I can install with a gui to administer mysql users/dbs from the ubuntu 12 server command line? === zexcriz is now known as harshbhatt === harshbhatt is now known as zexcirz [14:57] abradley: PHPMyAdmin [14:57] nvm === Guest81119 is now known as matt_ [15:00] Hi, someone that is good at GVFS?

[16:40] oh yes I'm here I was on another page sorry~ What you got??? === dpac|away is now known as dpac [16:42] irreverant, 8.04 is end of life whats the goal here? [16:43] Hello folks! [16:43] wilee-nilee: yes i Know; I'm just looking for the original image / support on my dell mini 9 [16:44] irreverant, that would be XP. [16:44] I have a luks encrypted drive that shows up in nautilus. Is there any way I can set the mount options for the underlying fs? [16:45] irreverant, There are supported OS's will run on that unit, if you want actual support. === Spec[x] is now known as Spec [16:46] irreverant: What he's saying is that it's recommended to run a newer, supported OS such as Ubuntu 12.04.2 or 13.04. Ubuntu did not host the version that shipped with that specific notebook. [16:46] wilee-nilee: no that means mine originally came with Ubuntu Jaunty [16:47] I changed the mozilla-javaplugin.so alternative to /opt/jre1.7.0_40/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so but Firefox always use /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so [16:47] irreverant, the torrent of 8.04 is still working, not sure you can get your notebook running without updates [16:47] what is wrong? [16:47] irreverant, Ah I see that now, unfortunately it would not be supported here with jaunty, maybe dell has a link to that, not sure why you would want it honestly. === akshay__ is now known as akshay_r [16:49] HI guys good evening or afternoon :) [16:50] !channels [16:50] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist and !alis - See also !Guidelines [16:50] sulo__ what are you looking for? [16:50] nothing just saying good afternoon :D [16:50] I would prefer a newer version but it doesn't seem to support all the functionality of the dell mini 9 [16:51] I've got a cluster of instances on AWS that keep getting spikes in NetworkOut, running 10.04 LTS. I don't get much information from netstat -ntap, etc, when it's happening, what else could I look at to determine what the heck is going on? [16:52] I was thinking about asking why I cant install Wine 1.6 but finaly I figure it out why It is not working :) [16:52] hi guys, I have installed the latest firefox manually, extracted it to /opt/firefox , problem is that my adobe flash wont work now, I have copied the flash plugin to my ~/.mozilla/plugins directory but it wont work ? any ideas? [16:53] is there a way to make the trackpad on my netbook "backward" like the macs do? [16:53] just trying to reduce cognitive dissonance [16:53] wolff, you are saying It wont work but you are not saying that it isnt working,why? :) [16:54] wolff, anyway I cant help ya I am Ubuntu newbie I am just trying to post here smart comments :) [16:54] hehe @ sulo__ [16:54] hays_: try http://www.maketecheasier.com/reverse-mouse-scrolling-direction-in-ubuntu/2011/09/16 [16:54] I want to make two-finger scrolling on the trackpad reversed.

[16:57] my mood is good as a blue moon [16:58] @wolff Please try the command I listed above. [16:58] wolff, my only idea is to install the whole system again :D :D :D [16:58] hahah nicee [16:58] ahahh [16:58] OMFG, I'm SOL on XP; so EOL on 11.04 is better than a FUBAR'd Win installation. [16:58] Hey wise guys. can anyone guide me through a little on a partitioning issue? [16:58] mmazing, thanks. other than gksu that worked... i think.. need to log out and back in.

[17:00] zv3r, I was helping another person, I am not in need of help. Thank you. [17:00] How do copy/move the home partition to another larger one (called /home2 sofar) and reintegrate it? [17:00] ohh okey [17:01] cariveri, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving [17:01] hays_: did it work? [17:01] Scott thanks , but that command installs firefox 23 , not 24 , i have done an apt-get update, still only version 23 [17:01] Scott_S: cool. thanks. [17:01] mmazing, yep! that's awesome and an easy fix [17:01] i have firefox version 24 in my /opt [17:01] hays_: huzzah!

[17:02] wolff, wait about 24 hrs or so and it will be in the repos. [17:02] irreverant, Asus 1505E i think its called [17:02] irreverant, comes with Ubuntu preloaded and I upped it to 13 with no problems [17:02] wolff, if you have already downloaded libflashplayer.so, move it to /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins [17:02] thanks Scott_S , will try that [17:03] hope it helps [17:03] irreverant, it has a Celeron and 2 GB RAM.. little tiny thing. 10.1" monitor [17:03] I run Ubuntu 13.04 with the build-in LibreOffice. When I edit documents in Libre Writer with lots of photos the Writer becomes very slow. Any idea why and how to fix it? [17:03] I've got a problem, when nautilus mounts the underlying fs of a LUKS volume, it's mounted as root instead of being mounted as the active user. Is this a known bug? [17:04] my only complaint is that the keyboard is small and it is a bit hard to get used to. [17:04] Strit, this is due to either LibreOffice not support GPU-accelerated rendering of images, or your system is unable to keep up with the number of images in the document. [17:05] If only there was three-finger swiping away the windows. lol. asking for too much i think [17:05] help [17:05] !ask > anshin [17:06] Scott_S, hm. I read somewhere that increasing the memory allowed in Libre would make it quicker, but it didn't. My system is an i7 3,4 Ghz with 16 GB ram and gtx 760 graphics. Surely my system should be able to keep up. :P [17:06] wrong command [17:06] sent "help" to all channels [17:06] anshin, please see my private message [17:06] hays, you must be glad man I have also Ubuntu 13 and my netbook has only 1 GB RAM :) [17:06] Scott_S, no success [17:07] ubottu: I wasn't asking a question. I just assumed that typing "/amsg help" would tell me what "amsg" does. [17:07] anshin: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:07] awe [17:07] wolff, Do you have that same folder in the location that you installed Firefox 24? It's possible it has a custom directly since it wasn't installed with aptitude. [17:07] Scott_S: the steps dont make sens to me. why not 1. partition /home2 , 2. rsynch /home -> /home2, 3. edit fstab to /home2, 4. edit /home2 partion mark to /home ? [17:08] hmm is there a way to tie a three finger gesture to the workspace switcher? [17:08] cariveri, I'm sorry, but I don't have the answer to that question. I am only providing you with the steps to do it, which is the recommended method by Canonical. [17:10] Question: I'm working with kickstart and preseed and I'm trying to find a way to force the installer to ask for manual network configuration. Is this possible (ie, the machine boots via DHCP but I want to over-ride this with different static IP's during install) [17:11] Scott_S, my firefox 24 is in /opt/firefox it is not under /usr === dean is now known as dean|away === xdm83_ is now known as xdm83 [17:14] ekool if you don't get an answer here, try #ubuntu-server or ##networking [17:14] http://i.imgur.com/hChvVyu.png [17:17] anybody here running FreeBSD and Ubuntu on the same machine? [17:17] when expanding a lvm, do I expand the pv b4 extending the fs? [17:17] I do right? [17:17] padd pv, add pv to vf, then expand lv, then resize2fs [17:18] did we get a split on the network? [17:19] chaotic_good: You pretty much have to, where would the FS expand to otherwise? [17:19] after mysql-server install, I'm attemping to connect to with HeidiSQL and get: http://i.imgur.com/AlZbSfo.png Beyond "sudo apt-get install mysql-server" and setting the root password what must be done to get mysql-server up ? [17:19] can ext4 support shrinking a lv? [17:21] I've got a problem, when nautilus mounts the underlying fs of a LUKS volume, it's mounted as root instead of being mounted as the active user. Is this a known bug? [17:22] abradley: The default config likely doesn't allow connections to mysql from the network, just localhost. [17:22] oh. I'll look into that. thanks a lot ekool [17:22] abradley: You'll likely need to modify my.cnf and tell it to bind to the network interface, not just loopback... then you can also create a user that authenticates from the network and has the permissions you need. [17:23] abradley: however, most mysql navigators are smart in that you can tell them to SSH into localhost, then connect "locally" through that tunnel so you can avoid all that. So, check the network type area there and see if SSH is an option. [17:25] how can I upgrade my version of 'ld' ? [17:25] ekool, smart, thanks a lot for the great info [17:28] hi guys.. how are you doing? I have jut bought a Genuis EasyPen 340 tablet. the sytem recognizes it but the buttons don't work. actually only control over the mouse cursor is functioning. can anyone help out to get it running?

[17:35] No idea. :) [17:36] it annoying because i would like to have some application in fullscreen [17:36] like sublime text [17:36] and so [17:36] hmm [17:36] jibreel: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[17:46] SoundsFromSound, Its made a difference for example to install an adblocker [17:46] say* [17:46] Hi LongCatTH [17:46] If I open an SSH client into my ubuntu desktop (12.04LTS), and start a python script that hangs indefinitely unless the terminal is closed, will closing the SSH connection kill the script?

Do you know anything about ssh, or enough to answer my question? [17:47] invitado: check your file manager 'places' [17:47] Firefox in my experience uses more memory however there are other pros as to why I choose it. But for only perfomance, I'd say Chrome-family stuff is 'faster'. [17:48] But I assure you many people will argue both sides :) Specs, etc. [17:49] SoundsFromSound, ill try both if there is no clear winner [17:49] You should notice a difference for sure though, as far as memory usage and whatnot. Yup. [17:49] It is not there [17:49] Hey, hays, how do you reply like you are, to a certain user?

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [17:52] GeekDude: yes, when you disconnect a HUP signal will be sent and will close your running application. Run your command under screen, or using nohup to prevent this. [17:52] fukuılhş [17:53] Sorry [17:53] Pici: do either of those come packaged with ubuntu? [17:53] when I boot with the device plugged in, it works just fine [17:53] ?? [17:53] the problem is hotplugging [17:53] GeekDude: nohup does, and I'm pretty sure that screen does. [17:54] Pici: would screen let me use an alread-existing terminal? [17:54] invitado: no need to be sorry , it's better to discuss problems in the chat , so others can help too [17:54] understood [17:54] GeekDude: Do you expect to need to reconnect to the terminal later to look at output? then screen is for you. Otherwise nohup is probably better. [17:55] ok in vmware, I added a drive to my ubuntu vm, do I have to reboot? === jack is now known as Guest68416 [17:55] Pici: I leave an IRC bot & webserver on all day, and want to be able to access them remotely to check output and restart them if needed [17:55] to see the drive or can I do something to rescan live? [17:55] (amazon doesit!) [17:56] GeekDude: Then screen fits your usecase. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen for more info. [17:56] Pici: ubuntu does not come packaged with screen, but I'll look into it. Thanks [17:56] chaotic_good: Are you using Workstation?

Shockwave only works on Windows, maybe basic operations only under Wine, but you can't get Shockwave on Linux.

I've opened 4 of them, and detached them [18:36] GeekDude: reattach, and close the terminal [18:36] Recently, I presented an issue to the community. It is about hotplugging usb devices. BluesKaj tried to help me but I could not implement the solution in the link he sent to me (It seems it is not applicable to UBUNTU 13, the files are named differently and its content is also different). Any other ideas? [18:36] gordonjcp: I can't close the terminal over SSH [18:37] hays_: Are you developing software or just using it? Most of the benefits of llvm/clang are for developers rather than end users (building the same software in Clang vs GCC won't gain you much). Also, you're probably already using some software which was built with Clang or uses LLVM. [18:37] GeekDude: [18:38] gordonjcp: thank you [18:43] Does anybody knows how I can auto select a folder when I print screen? [18:43] Let's say, I press on Prt Sc. A window "Save Screenshot" appears. There is an option "Save in folder: " ... [18:43] How can I automatically select one? [18:45] kalekip1, it always remembers the previously selected folder [18:51] whats up with all the mass quits? [18:51] not sure [18:53] gordonjcp: Using "^d" doesn't always work, especially if a python script is running. To kill the instance in the screen, "^a : quit" works while you're inside, and to kill the whole screen externally, "$ screen -S -X quit" works too [18:54] GeekDude: yes [18:54] GeekDude: works from a shell prompt though, which is a good place to start [18:55] I suppose. My python script doesn't work properly with keyboard interrupt, so I can't return to shell, and I have to end it/kill it [18:56] . [18:58] kostkon: Sorry for late reply, but it doesn't.

What would be an ideal solution for this? Have a setting (Defaulted to true) to log 50 lines or so to a file that the user can change themselves?

[20:37] tjbiddle: just log anyway, then [20:37] tjbiddle: at least if you're running a debug build or with debugging enabled [20:38] glixed, fresh install, has it worked, have you checked additional drivers? [20:39] mihok: what is the output of "sudo service openvpn status" [20:39] gordonjcp: But I like to follow best practices :-) Just wanted to get a general opinion. What would you expect that to be? But true, it's not a huge deal in my exact scenario. [20:39] Rory, its unrecognized service because ive mounted the hard drive with the service issues to /mnt [20:40] tjbiddle: I don't want to pry into your business practices, but I'd say that anyone using an internal app has rather less expectation of privacy [20:40] mihok: Oh if it's an Amazon-specific thing I don't know.

[20:41] tjbiddle: furthermore if they are using a development version of something it's not unreasonable to expect them to put up with more logging and user surveillance [20:41] mihok: "Remove" a service isn't a thing, could you re-phrase it? You want to uninstall openvpn? Or stop a service that's running? [20:41] gordonjcp: Fair enough, thanks!

Regarding auto install of server: I'm trying to include a preseed.cfg on my ISO but the installer doesn't load the preseed file (the documentation says that including the preseed.cfg on the root of the ISO will auto load it. Any ideas? [20:42] Rory, basically I guess uninstall openvpn on a harddrive thats been mounted, so not through apt-get [20:44] tjbiddle: if users *are* unhappy about the logging then you can give them some means to start either a debug-enabled or non-debug version [20:44] quit [20:44] tjbiddle: and make it clear that if they run a non-debug version, they're a) not helping you get the app working properly and b) when they have problems they might not get answers [20:45] kill the pid and remove the openvpn [20:45] folder [20:45] mihok: if its using upstart and its a upstart managed service. you just rename the servicename.conf file to be like servicvename.dontrun in /etc/init/ [20:45] mihok: the 'upstart cookbook' gives details [20:45] gordonjcp: I was going to have a configuration file that has something like `log_to_file=true/false`, defaulting to true - And will pass along an installation method noting that this can be changed at the users' whim.

[20:46] hello [20:46] hi [20:46] gordonjcp: In this case in particular, they'd almost all be willing to help get things working properly - so I probably won't see much of a complaint. I guess if this were a public application, I could do the same thing - just default the logging to file to false. If they run into issues they could enable it and then next time the issue occurs pass along the information.

Probably not starting since it can't find the ruby script [21:01] SHARD_ID=11 bundle exec ruby bin/pnapi_server.rb -svp 9008 [21:01] sobczyk_, You wont have support here if there is a problem technically is all. [21:01] dankest and this command works correctly out of screen right? [21:02] Hello everyone! [21:02] cipherson: Tried changing path, no effect [21:02] and yeah, it works outside of screen [21:02] Good, it's working, I am having an issue. [21:02] wait [21:02] yeah [21:02] haha === NotCharlesIves is now known as SoundsFromSound [21:02] it works outside screen [21:02] if I just run the command, my script runs [21:03] let me test more.. [21:03] dankest, do screen -ls and see if it created a screen at all [21:03] there might be an error inside it [21:03] if there is one [21:03] Just instaleld ubuntu 12.04, target system, so I need to get my program compiling on it, basically I installed libglfw2 and libglew1.6, but I cannot find the damned header files ANYWHERE, especially not in /usr/include/GL/ like they are supposed to be, so how do I check the install script of the packages to see where they put them? [21:03] cipherson: it did not [21:03] hmm [21:03] I tried using find, but it cannot find them. === SoundsFromSound is now known as NotCharlesIves [21:04] what good is a dev package without headers?

[21:05] Jordan_U: sorry, I come from Arch, where everything is perfect(for me) :P [21:05] dankest, try only with the -d -m flags [21:05] !cookie | djdduty [21:05] djdduty: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [21:05] no offense to you guys, I just never used ubuntu [21:05] cipherson: nope === TheMaver1ck` is now known as TheMaverick` [21:06] cipherson: still no new screen on -ls [21:06] sec [21:06] lol you helped yourself djdduty [21:06] cipherson: kk. Thank you so mmuch for your help [21:06] Anyone know why a screen appears to stop allowing me type in it after having it active for a while? I always detach before closing Putty etc or going inactive. [21:07] I have to stop the process and start it again for me to be able to type in the screen, I can see the output from the process fine [21:07] cuddylier, might be timing out. [21:07] Fyodorovna If I reopen SSH I still can't type [21:07] ok dankest try this screen -dmS "command" [21:08] I can detach the screen while it's like this though [21:08] not sure [21:08] cipherson: I get: Must run suid root for multiuser support. [21:08] I could run it sudo, but none of my ruby stuff is installed under that user. [21:09] j [21:09] ok dankest try this screen -dmS shared "command" [21:09] ekool: Doesn't work.. :/ [21:09] shared would been the screen name to share [21:09] cipherson: no new screen instace. [21:09] Command went though [21:09] hmmm try this [21:10] ok dankest try this screen -dmS shared "echo test" [21:10] simple test [21:10] cipherson: nothing [21:10] \join #debian [21:10] command ran, but nothing happened. Back at $ [21:10] jm__: other slash :) [21:11] weird with both S or no S i got screens [21:11] wtf [21:11] your got screen installed right ? just making sure [21:11] haha yeah [21:11] I'm running a bunch of them [21:11] hmmmm sec [21:11] I'm just trying to bash script this so I need them in a single line form [21:12] Maybe I need to update screen? [21:12] I'm running 2-may-06 [21:12] you can try that [21:12] i got the same one tho [21:12] try without the s [21:12] ok dankest try this screen -dm "echo test" [21:13] "netstat -i" output seems to be malformed, or is the flag something like "0 BMRU" and "0 LRU"? [21:13] cipherson: closer, now I have this [21:13] 11849.echo test (09/17/2013 02:13:12 PM) (Detached) [21:13] when I resume it though, there's nothing going on inside [21:13] O.o that better sign [21:13] *attach it [21:14] i see whats happening 1 sec [21:14] <3 [21:14] Because it is supposed to return "MTU Met", "RX-OK", "RX-ERR", "RX-DRP", "RX-OVR", "TX-OK", "TX-ERR", "TX-DRP", "TX-OVR", "Flg", right? Cause if I align them I get "0 BMRU" and "0 LRU" as "flg" [21:15] ok dankest here the thing you must do, its a 2 part command === GG_Jae_ is now known as GG_Helpdesk [21:16] oh, nastly looking error, undefined reference to 'clock_gettime@GLIBC_2.17' [21:16] this seems like it is going to be a pain. [21:16] just testing it [21:16] kk [21:16] Thanks again [21:16] Guys, can anyone help - I can't seem to get all my Windows to save position and size. === tunicwriter_ is now known as tunicwriter [21:19] Hey. after upgrade there are a lot of app icons missing. how can I get them back? [21:19] dankest still here just trying on my side [21:19] kk [21:24] hello, is there a definitive guide for touch screen driver support for ubuntu? [21:25] fixed it [21:26] Can someone tell me, can i somewhere find the "clipboard file"? Actually, does it event exist as a file? Where is the data stored when you CTRL + C? [21:26] dankest, screen -dmt "test" bash -c 'while true;do date; sleep 2; done' [21:26] test is the title [21:26] bash -c 'command' [21:27] the command i have outputs the date every 2 secs to test [21:28] cipherson: In your RAM. [21:28] cipherson: thanks!@ [21:28] worked? [21:28] lol [21:29] bekks? sup [21:29] cipherson: Ah, I mistabbed. :) [21:29] Lol np :P [21:29] c0nfusedLubunter: In your RAM. [21:30] ok.. oh ubuntu gods!!! i changed the strictmodes from yes to no.. and managed to get the keys working.. so, does this point to a perms issue on ubuntu within the ssh dir structure.. and if it does.. what/where can i get specific (like a 6th grader) docs on just what the prems/owner of the dirs/files should be.. [21:30] bekks: Is it somehow accessible as a "file" ? [21:30] mydog2: what exactly are you trying to do? [21:30] mydog2, whats the error [21:31] c0nfusedLubunter: Nope. Because it is available as clipboard. [21:31] hey cipherson the previous err was Permission denied (publickey). [21:32] did the user that is accessing the login create the file? [21:32] but once i changed the strictmodes per a couple of articles.. the keys worked [21:32] My computer lost power and now wont boot. Do i have to do a fresh install? [21:33] cipherson, was that for me.. and if it was.. no.. i created the keys on a separate machine.. [21:33] hey folks, I am using windows soft to upload stuff in bulk to ubuntu, I got sftp user setup and it works with winscp, when I click on test connection it says yes working, when it comes to upload it says permission denied [21:33] what can it be? [21:33] and i pushed the pub key over to the ubuntu, where i then sshed in as the "user" that i'll be sshing as [21:33] mydog2, run sudo chown username sshkeyfile [21:34] got to make sure the user logging in owns the file [21:34] funky: the permissions on the target directory. [21:34] cipherson: ah, it works with date but not with my ruby script [21:34] cipherson, on the ubuntu.. there's only the authorized_keys file.. is that the file you want the data on? [21:34] cipherson: maybe it's the env var I'm pasing in? [21:34] there's no id_rsa.pub file [21:35] dankest, the var your passing the command should be like this var="dlhfds"; command [21:35] screen -dmt "test" bash "SHARD_ID=3; bundle exec ruby pnapi/bin/pnapi_server.rb -svp 9000" [21:35] mydog2, when do you see this error ? when your logging in? [21:35] dankest, yea like that [21:36] your missing-c [21:36] I have disabled kernel 3.2.0-053 and reverted to 052 on my many 12.04.3 systems since the later one causes the system to hang from time to time. Have I cut myself off from upgrades and security patches? [21:36] screen -dmt "test" bash -c "SHARD_ID=3; bundle exec ruby pnapi/bin/pnapi_server.rb -svp 9000" [21:36] -c = command [21:36] someone familiar with samba server config? I have the folleing configuration: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6600861 Problems are: I cannot access as a guest. Second problme ist that the share is not visible on the network, only when i directly access the samba share via ip adress. Any ideas? [21:36] cipherson, - yeah... when i do the ssh into the box... [21:36] cipherson: nada :((( [21:36] hello guys, I have problem with my ubuntu, after boot I have the message “The system is running in low-graphics mode”, what can I do? [21:37] mydog2, try and copy the key over again should be the public one [21:37] dankest, whats in the window? and error? [21:37] Doesn't instantiate a screen [21:37] no error [21:38] ok lets seen [21:38] see* [21:38] screen -dmt "test" bash -c "SHARD_ID=3; bundle exec ruby pnapi/bin/pnapi_server.rb -svp 9000" [21:39] dankest, the issue is once the command stops the screen will terminate and we don't see an error, try this screen -dmt "test" bash -c "SHARD_ID=3; bundle exec ruby pnapi/bin/pnapi_server.rb -svp 9000 > /tmp/script_message.log" [21:39] maybe this output file will shed some light [21:39] cipherson, - yeah.. all i do.. is scp it.. and then clear out the auth keyfile.. and then cat the pub file to append it to the authkeyfile. [21:40] mydog2, try and follow this to test, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys [21:40] make the keys on the server your logging into [21:41] I'm installing the multimedia extras from command line and it is wanting to configure ttf-mscorefonts-installer and it is stuck. I have scrolled to the bottom of the text hit enter no joy..anyone know how to tell it to proceed? [21:41] just to make sure the settings are right [21:42] dankest, anything from that file? [21:42] yeah [21:42] bad path, it's working now! [21:42] :P [21:42] Hey guys I'm looking for a terminal server that works more like windows terminal services than VNC is there any suggestions? [21:43] wylde I checked permissions sftp user owns directory [21:43] and directories under it [21:43] dankest, hope you learn something about screens / troubleshooting today :P [21:43] nope, still not working [21:43] fuck [21:43] lol [21:43] @@@ [21:43] I'm learning a lot!

[21:43] But still frustrated as hell [21:43] an error encountered while prosessing openssh server and client [21:43] how can i fix this [21:43] dankest can you talk still?

[21:44] haha yeah [21:44] I can talk [21:44] Right? [21:44] oh ok [21:44] funky: that's the only reason I can think of it wouldn't work. [21:44] yea [21:44] haha [21:45] ok is there a new error? [21:45] what's the error Mega1? [21:45] cipherson: nothing is being written to the log file [21:45] and the screen is blank? [21:45] well [21:46] when I get an error from the ruby script because I'm in the wrong directory, I see in in the log. [21:46] When I run the command in the right directory, I get nothing and no new screen [21:46] how are you running in the correct dir [21:46] I cd'd to it [21:46] I could include a cd in the bash command [21:47] try this [21:47] screen -dmt "test" bash -c "cd path; SHARD_ID=3; bundle exec ruby pnapi/bin/pnapi_server.rb -svp 9000 > /tmp/script_message.log" [21:47] change the path [21:48] so the command will change dir before running [21:48] who knows where I can check sftp errors log? [21:48] funky, what server are you running for it [21:48] cipherson: no output, no screen [21:50] cipherson, - thanks guy... it was a permissions deal... [21:50] cipherson: cloud ubuntu [21:50] dankest try this screen -dmt "test" bash -c "exec > /tmp/script_message.log 2>&1; cd path; SHARD_ID=3; bundle exec ruby pnapi/bin/pnapi_server.rb -svp 9000" [21:50] mydog2, np [21:50] this will log more stuff to that file [21:51] funky, sorry never used that :( [21:51] ok [21:52] Okay, that worked and my script is running [21:52] Can I get rid of the log? [21:52] yup [21:52] how? [21:52] what does exec > do?

I get black screen. [21:53] very nice for error logging [21:53] Anyone else experience this? [21:53] you can remove the command and try [21:53] cipherson: once I remove log, the screen command stops working [21:54] !kali | L1mer1ck [21:54] L1mer1ck: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), kali-linux (#kali-linux), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [21:54] if not make the log file /dev/null and this will just send it to nothing [21:54] Solution? [21:54] dankest make the file /dev/null [21:54] L1mer1ck: its not supported in here since its not ubuntu [21:54] sorry ty [21:54] this is the black hole for information to go away [21:54] screen still gone [21:54] wtf [21:54] hmm [21:55] with the file it works?

[21:57] if so we can clear it [21:57] Changed it to something random, still no process for it [21:57] any reason why a .sh won t launch the script but instead opens gedit? I ve chmod +x it [21:57] !!! this is so random [21:57] I know [21:57] It's driving me nuts [21:57] go back to what worked and try a new name [21:58] if you have a screen with the same name it will auto rename it [21:58] i think* [21:58] Is there another program I can use to make this easier?

[22:25] Sirisian|Work: choose single user mode in the boot menu [22:25] in grub? [22:25] i belive ubuntu contains that [22:25] yes. [22:26] not sure if this would be better suited on ##linux or here, but, been recently having some issues with sudo.

[22:32] Rav3n: -v maybe [22:32] Rav3n: also smartctl [22:33] Mega1: I suppose you could try sudo dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server although if it's having trouble unpacking it, the deb file may be corrupt. [22:33] cipherson, Context? [22:34] nvm figured it out it was something i said in chat that triggered the chat bot === gbyers[Away] is now known as g_byers [22:36] wylde that did not do anything [22:36] My computer lost power and now wont boot. Do i have to do a fresh install? [22:36] Mega1: same error? [22:36] augustrush: Which error do you get, exactly?

[22:45] compdoc, im looking for help running MacOS in virtual box on Ubuntu [22:45] I have a new toshiba laptop, quad-core 6gb ram. AMD Radeon, I think it is the 1100 series. I booted ubuntu and lubuntu from usb but they both give me issue with the display. I tried running X -configure and it gives a error like drivers not found for the amount of devices found [22:45] cipherson: basilliskII not sure if I'm spelling it right. [22:45] @zdot i am now on the chroot would you please tell me what kind of permissions i need to do to get access back [22:45] I guess you could run the free Mac OS - version 6.0.3 [22:45] anything newer isnt exactly allowed by Apple [22:45] ndowens04: you need to run fglrx-config or something like that [22:45] cipherson: There are plenty of disk images for it you can find online, up to 7.5 I think. [22:45] ok error pasted http://paste.ubuntu.com/6121542/ [22:46] kyle__, so far nothing will boot... [22:46] compdoc: They've released through 7.x something on their website. You can go higher without breaking lwas. [22:46] ezzatovich: just make sure you're root and type passwd [22:46] cool [22:46] zdot thanks I will try that when I try again. [22:46] cipherson: You've got a ROM, and a disk image, and it won't boot? [22:46] ezzatovich: it wont ask you for the old password, it will just prompt you twice for a new one === g_byers is now known as gbyers[Away] [22:47] kyle__, yup lol [22:47] ndowens04: but keep in mind you have to have catalyst installed to use that, it may be called aticonfig or fglrx-config or something similar, i can't recall now [22:47] cipherson: Which image are you using? [22:48] leohazard's one [22:49] Bekks: it's a laptop that is hanging on netBios name server line during the boot process [22:49] hi [22:50] hey [22:50] i change mymjob [22:50] i will do music to relax [22:50] http://youtu.be/j6XAJjtRljw [22:51] i hope you,like it [22:51] cipherson: google for Starterdisk.hfv See if it works at all for you. [22:51] kyle__, will do thanks [22:55] Hi. I have a laptop with no screen, only a external monitor. I installed with the mini iso a Lubuntu session but nothing appears in the screen after the grub. I managed to log in via cli, so the system works. How can I force the system to use the VGA port on startup? Also I have access to recoveey [22:55] Recovery* [22:55] hehe i had to encrypt a home after i installed ubuntu yesterday [22:55] always a new experience [22:56] arayaq: so which screen works afer you boot to cli [22:57] arayaq: have you tried the laptops harware buttons for the display? eg Fn+F5 [22:58] Question: If i install ubuntu to a second hard drive, does it alter the MBR or can i just select which hard drive to boot from in the bios HDD select menu when i want to use linux? [22:58] So I dont have to muck about with partitions [22:58] zdot, none, I logged into tty1 and touched a file, then checked via recovery. Where the external monitor works [22:58] and not have windows get jealous and screw up my MBR [22:59] wylde, yes. Does not work [23:00] arayaq: try that what wylde suggested, if it wont work, well, i guess it's time to get new hardware [23:00] any help with my error http://paste.ubuntu.com/6121542/ [23:01] zdot. The hw is ok. Just doesnt use VGA for some reason [23:01] Mega1: you have PPAs enabled? [23:02] i dont know [23:03] anyone have an answer to my question? :( [23:04] Okay I'll try this again. I installed Lubuntu 13.04 on my sisters netbook using a wifi connection, and now whenever she tries to hook it up to a different wifi, each time she puts the password in, it doesn't authenticate. What is the solution to this? [23:08] anyone here do any prompt-less php apt installs (so it doesn't ask for php.ini overwrites)? i see no debconf-get-selections PHP options... i see a note about php.ini but no key/value/type to use [23:09] cipherson: gotta go, but if/when you get it working, university of michigan hosts an archive of freeware shareware and open source software for classic mac. http://www.umich.edu/~archive/mac/ [23:12] <_arayaq> Ok. Again. Screenless lappy, only VGA monitor, works fine in recovery mode but fails at a normal boot. I can blindedly log into tty and use the system. Any idea of how to force the system to use VGA instead of the inexisting notebook monitor? [23:13] _arayaq: does it display anything during the boot?> === Wug is now known as Wug[Hyperspace] [23:14] <_arayaq> zdot: yes, I can see the BIOS screen and the grub. Nothing after that, unless I select recovery. [23:14] hey everyone. I am having trouble theming my desktop. I am running the gnome shell and downloaded kamino for gnome, but when I select it, the top bar goes black (default) and nothing changes. [23:14] Any ideas? [23:14] !nomodeset | _arayaq [23:14] _arayaq: 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 [23:15] I'll check it out. Thank you. [23:16] Well, I don't have a black screen. [23:16] _arayaq: select recovery, disable plymouth in grub and try booting again [23:16] joewscott, maybe you need to install some fonts http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Kamino?content=160706 [23:17] How to improve Youtube video performance?

[23:17] _arayaq: http://junktext.net/notes/Note04.txt this might be helpfull, you might also want setting a lower console resolution [23:17] ohhh wrong message [23:18] OerHeks, I have the fonts, i wish i could show a picture... uhh it's just the default toolbar [23:18] joewscott: see the messages addressed to you. not everything is meant for you [23:19] k1l_, right. sorry about that. [23:20] <_arayaq> ubottu: ive tried nomodeset but after some boot up messages the screen goes off again [23:20] _arayaq: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:21] _arayaq: then you mast configure your X again [23:21] must* [23:21] <_arayaq> zdot: ill try disabling plymouth [23:21] _arayaq: you can do it in txt recovery mode [23:21] _arayaq: no no, if it diplays boot after changing the res than just change the resolution [23:21] _arayaq: what's your grphic card model? === Wug[Hyperspace] is now known as Wug [23:23] <_arayaq> zdot: its an integrated intel. Everything was fine when the notebook had its own screen [23:23] _arayaq: which intel [23:23] How to improve Youtube video performance? It's not bad, but i can see some minor rendering lag on 720p. [23:24] I recently did a netinstall of 13.04 and Im trying to set up wicd as my network manager. The problem is the daemon fails to start but I have no clue where to look for an error. dmesg is empty, so is /var/log/syslog and /var/log/wicd [23:24] <_arayaq> zdot: GM45, i think (Core 2 Duo micro) [23:24] frankbro: run wicd in verbose mode ommiting the start script and see what it tells you [23:25] _arayaq: you may want changing yuour defauld display in your xorg conf [23:25] zdot, a python error, File Exists [23:28] what is the exact error? [23:28] error message*? [23:28] I guess I can go further from this, thanks zdot [23:28] OSError: [Errno 17] File exists [23:28] <_arayaq> zdot: i did X -configure from recovery, but it fails [23:28] any help with my error http://paste.ubuntu.com/6121542/ [23:28] <_arayaq> zdot: it says the screen numbers and the detected devices does not match [23:28] _arayaq: no, it did write a xorg.conf.new to /root anyway but you'll have to hardcode your default display there i think [23:28] _arayaq: also, when the screen goes blan you still probably can go alt+ctrl+f1 and login to text console [23:28] <_arayaq> zdot: i took a look at the file, but it seemed like a dummy one [23:28] blank* [23:29] noob question: I want to move over to using Ubuntu on computer(for web dev) my main drive is a SSD I have a 2TB storage drive that is NTFS. Is it not ideal to use NTFS as a storage/work drive in linux? Or will I be fine? I do do a lot of file manipulation on the drive. [23:29] <_arayaq> zdot: also I was able to boot up PuppyLinux [23:29] Curtisbeef1: actually i use ntfs on my pc machine for storage all the time. ntfs-3g is kinda good [23:29] <_arayaq> zdot: ill try to use the xorg.conf it generates [23:30] I have a screenshot of the specific problem and what the toolbar looks like after I apply a theme. I can message it to anyone who has an idea of why the theme won't apply. [23:30] zdot: so its fine to just stick with NTFS? [23:31] Curtisbeef1: it's always better to use linux filesystems with linux but i use ntfs for windows compatibility [23:31] Curtisbeef1: it works just fine, but it's not fully linux compatibile, obviously [23:31] kk thanks ;) [23:32] ok, i think i'll have a tea [23:33] Where can I find a good command cheat-sheet/list for Ubuntu 13.04? I am having trouble with locating one on google.

I have tried runing from terminal but its not givving me any error msgs in terminal. Can someone tell me where i should too to debug the issue. Thanks ahead of time. ;) [23:56] x666MafiA: running a graphical file manager with admin prevelages may not be the best idea, however regardless of that they should not crash [23:57] x666MafiA: i think gksu is deprecated in 13.04+ [23:57] i have linux mint cinnamon and a hd 7770 gpu, and cinnamon keeps on crashing, and reverting to fallback mode.
