| kelly | I would be grateful | 00:00 |
| jrib | NotCharlesIves: 1) it tells you to enable a root pass for no good reason (though it does disable it later) 2) the formatting messed up one of its commands | 00:00 |
| dhyana | hi kelly | 00:00 |
| NotCharlesIves | thanks jrib | 00:01 |
| cpined | jrib: why do I see "Could not scan folder "/home/xxxxx" or some if the folders it contains. ? | 00:01 |
| === rb-tnc is now known as rbtnc | ||
| jrib | cpined: probably permissions | 00:01 |

| === rbtnc is now known as rb-tnc | ||
| jrib | cpined: you could run it with gksudo | 00:02 |
| ChogyDan | cpined: what folder is it? it might be a non issue | 00:02 |
| jrib | cpined: be forewarned you're giving it sudo privileges to do whatever it wants with your system | 00:03 |

| matubaum | Any help, why when I boot from a livecd I have no screen? Maybe I can change something from the grub many to go to console, instead of trying to start the X server. | 00:03 |
| Fyodorovna | !nomodeset| matubaum | 00:04 |
| ubottu | matubaum: 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 | 00:04 |

| ggherdov | Hello. I am upgrading from 11.04 (natty) to 12.04 (precise) via cmd line (it's an ubuntu server). I downloaded the iso image, mounted it to /media/iso, and then run "sh /media/iso/cdromupgrade". | 00:36 |
| ggherdov | It complains with "ERROR:root:Bad upgrade: 'natty' != 'oneiric'" and "An upgrade from 'natty' to 'precise' is not supported with this tool." | 00:36 |
| ggherdov | What can I do? | 00:36 |
| ggherdov | maybe gotta upgrade to 11.10 (oneiric) before... | 00:38 |
| OerHeks | ggherdov, correct 11.04 > 11.10 > 12.04 | 00:39 |
| chsados | is 11.04 an LTS? | 00:39 |
| ggherdov | chsados: nope | 00:40 |
| OerHeks | no, 10.04 and 12.04 are | 00:40 |
| chsados | yea you can only go from lts to lts | 00:40 |

| Connor | OKay. Running 12.04, under gnome3 with Awn.. Under 10.04 I had to top and bottom panels removed.. I managed to remove the top panel, how do I remove the bottom one that shows all the launched applications ? | 00:46 |
| dr_willis | you mean in the awn panel? | 00:47 |
| Connor | no. The original Gnome 3 panels.. | 00:47 |
| Connor | I don't want them.. Im using Awn. :) | 00:48 |
| dr_willis | I dont recall gnome shell having a botom panel | 00:48 |
| ggherdov | chsados: OerHeks: those docs suggest the use of do-release-upgrade. My fear is that I will jump from 11.04 to 13.04, which is not what I want (I'd rather like 12.04). I don't see an option in `man do-release-upgrade` to specify the target release. How does the tool can know ? | 00:48 |
| ggherdov | "do-release-upgrade - upgrade operating system to latest release" <---- that's how. latest. 13.04 | 00:50 |
| dr_willis | ggherdov: I think it will go to the next release up.. or the next lts if you sre on lts | 00:50 |
| dr_willis | ! 11.04 | 00:50 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) was the fourteenth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on October 28, 2012. See !upgrade, !lts and !eol for more details. | 00:50 |
| ggherdov | dr_willis: next release up would be good. whatever, let's try. It's my toy server after all. | 00:51 |
| dr_willis | the only way to skip a release is by doing LTS to LTS | 00:51 |
| dr_willis | 11.04 to 11.10 to 12.04lts | 00:52 |
| ggherdov | dr_willis: thanks. it is actually going to 11.10 | 00:53 |
| dr_willis | 12.04 also has point releases. 12.04.4 I think is the latesr | 00:54 |
| Connor | Anyone know how to restore the Shutdown / Restart feature to Awn ? When I choose session, all I can do now is lock screen since upgrading. | 00:54 |

It's specs are, iirc, amd athlon 2.x GHz, with an on board video, HDD is i think 80 or 120GB and 1GB RAM, now my question is, what would run better, ubuntu 12.04 or xubuntu 12.04 or are they just the same? | 02:24 |

| jp_ | wilee-nilee don't know what PPA is, just occasionally do the updates | 02:44 |

| jp_ | no additional kernels, how would I tell? | 02:44 |
| wilee-nilee | jp_, I'm not sure why you are showing dependency problems, try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 02:45 |
| meh_ | iancarroll_, Yes, when I boot the computer normally, I get to the boot options menu. I continue normally. Then black screen. However I hear the little welcome screen noise where one enters the password. Still black. However, if I press "e" to edit the normal boot and change "quiet splash" to "nomodoset" it boots just fine EXCEPT that the screen display is stretched. So a square icon becomes a rectangle.

| jp_ | wilee-nilee any additional resources I can read on my own? | 02:51 |
| Seven_Six_Two | al_la, perhaps you need to fix (or delete) your xorg.conf | 02:51 |
| wilee-nilee | jp_, Not that I can think of at the moment. | 02:51 |
| Seven_Six_Two | al_la, try perhaps: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 02:51 |
| al_la | Seven_Six_Two: in /etc/X11/ I have no xorg.conf | 02:51 |

| Seven_Six_Two | al_la, sorry, I misunderstood. reinstall the compiz config package, and reenable the unity module.. | 02:53 |

| al_la | Seven_Six_Two: I'm still about 94% novice ... apt-get reinstall compiz package or compiz-core? And how do I reenable unity module? Thank you btw. | 02:54 |

| Guest35932 | iancarroll, http://pastebin.ca/2454551 | 02:58 |
| AcidRain2012 | i installed a package that came with examples. how can i find out where the package was instqalled to? | 03:01 |
| arctanx | AcidRain2012: dpkg -L packagename | 03:01 |
| arctanx | Guest35932: this sometimes happens with UDP traceroutes. Try a tcp one: sudo traceroute -T destination | 03:02 |
| AcidRain2012 | arctanx, the package i installed is Bot::BasicBot, it wont let me look it up | 03:02 |
| AcidRain2012 | dpkg-query: error: architecture name in specifier 'Bot::BasicBot' is illegal: must start with an alphanumeric | 03:03 |
| arctanx | AcidRain2012: ah you mean a cpan module rather than an ubuntu package | 03:03 |
| AcidRain2012 | arctanx, i didnt install it using cpan. i installed it using sudo apt-get install Bot::BasicBot | 03:04 |
| AcidRain2012 | but yes, a cpan module :) | 03:04 |
| Guest35932 | arctanx, no. same result with -T | 03:05 |
| arctanx | AcidRain2012: Interesting, I didn't know apt-get supported that. Nonetheless, I just ran "aptitude search basic | grep -i bot" and found a package " libbot-basicbot-perl - simple irc bot baseclass" | 03:05 |
| arctanx | AcidRain2012: try the dpkg again with libbot-basicbot-perl | 03:05 |
| === FreakingShower is now known as FreakingTea | ||

| jp_ | wilee-nilee entering command dpkg --remove linux-server | 03:06 |
| Seven_Six_Two | al_la, I'm not using Ubuntu on this pc, but I think the package name contains "ccsm" that you should install and run. From there, ccsm lists all the available compiz modules and it's easy to figure out. just check the "enable" box | 03:06 |
| arctanx | AcidRain2012: makes more sense :) | 03:06 |
| arctanx | Guest35932: You might be out of luck sorry. Not all routers will reply to traceroutes | 03:07 |
| jp_ | wilee-nilee: entering command sudo dpkg --remove linux-server, then sudo apt-get -f install, and it works good | 03:07 |
| wilee-nilee | jp_, Cool good job. | 03:07 |
| Seven_Six_Two | al_la, you'll also need the main compiz packages, so install anything that's named compiz without dev or dbg | 03:07 |
| jp_ | trying the sudo apt-get dist-upgrade now, hoping it allows me to install the tweaker | 03:07 |
| jp_ | I bet this was related to running out of space on /boot | 03:08 |
| wilee-nilee | jp_, You have a boot partition? | 03:08 |
| rawfodog | I have full disk encryption on my hd. At boot I have to enter a password to unlock it. How do I change this password | 03:08 |
| jp_ | why the hell that partition is so small... need to fix that too | 03:08 |
| jp_ | I think so, because that was the initial reason I wanted to tweak program | 03:08 |
| wilee-nilee | jp_, Generally a boot partition is not needed, I have never had one in 7 years | 03:09 |
| jp_ | hrrm | 03:09 |
| wilee-nilee | jp_, Ubuntu tweak is an easy way to clean kernels with a gui though | 03:09 |
| jp_ | how would I get rid of boot partition, for a newb? | 03:10 |
| cjwelborn | I just spent 2 hours debugging a package upgrade problem. the cause was a python2.7 executable in /usr/local/bin (not sure how it got there), that ran without any good config. When the postinst python scripts ran, they were using this executable and dpkg was spitting out all these errors. I got rid of it because I already have one in /usr/bin that works. I was finally able to upgrade everything. | 03:11 |
| Guest35932 | archigos, no solution? | 03:11 |
| Guest35932 | arctanx, what do you mean by reply. my gateware replies me for a ping request | 03:11 |
| LinuxGold | how do I add vga=0x031b to grub? | 03:14 |
| arctanx | Guest35932: your gateway does, yes. To get a complete traceroute to our chosen destination you are requiring every hop along the way to send you an ICMP message when the TTL expires. Many routers on the internet are configured so that they won't send those messages. | 03:15 |

| fahadash | Does any of you think I will regret it ? | 03:22 |
| wilee-nilee | fahadash, I dual boot windows and I started on open source. | 03:23 |
| jp_ | fahadash - yeah I Think you will. | 03:23 |
| ObrienDave | i would suggest setting it up aa a dual boot until you get used to Ubuntu | 03:23 |
| fahadash | jp_: Explain | 03:23 |
| ObrienDave | *as | 03:23 |
| jp_ | If you like tinkering you will have fun. So manythings in windows "just work" | 03:23 |
| Dr_Willis | fahadash: Totally depends on your needs | 03:23 |
| jp_ | and ubuntu while coming a long way, still needs a lot lot LOT of tweaking to get things the way you want / need. | 03:24 |
| cfhowlett | fahadash, how would we know? obviously depends on your expectations, needs and existing skill set. | 03:24 |
| fahadash | on my home computer all I do is Skype, Internet browsing for fun such as videos, social media; | 03:24 |
| Dr_Willis | ive had so many things in windows 'just break in the worse possible way' ;) and been suprised at how many things in Ubuntu 'just work' better | 03:24 |

| fahadash | Is Ubuntu 13.04 stable now ? I wonder how hard would it be to upgrade from 12 LTS to 13.04 | 03:29 |
| cfhowlett | wilee-nilee, seen this? http://www.kingsoftstore.com/download-office | 03:29 |
| ObrienDave | fahadash, 13.10 will be out in about a month | 03:29 |
| fahadash | I actually have been running ubuntu out of a USB key for about 10 days (You know with the Try Ubuntu option) not realizing I have already divorced Windows | 03:29 |
| cfhowlett | fahadash, think what you're doing. yes, 13.04 is stable or it wouldn't be in release. BUT 12.04 is supported for 5 years. 13.04 is NOT. | 03:30 |
| fahadash | ObrienDave, Would that be an easy task to upgrade to 13.10 ? | 03:30 |
| wilee-nilee | cfhowlett, I use that on my nexus and smart phone, Never messed with in ubuntu though, I will check it out, thanks. | 03:31 |
| fahadash | I think the reason with 8 gb ram and 300 gigs of free space and 2.5 ghz win7 still work slow is because most of the windows components are no more closer to the wire and they keep getting crappier every release | 03:32 |
| Ari-Yang | fahadash, you'll be upgrading from 13.04 to 13.10 next month I think... You'll upgrade from 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS in April 2014 | 03:32 |
| ObrienDave | fahadash, i haven't had many problems keeping up with the latest versions. some people swear by the LTS versions though | 03:32 |
| fahadash | Ari-Yang: How do I upgrade ? | 03:32 |
| Ari-Yang | it's easy, through the software updater on ubuntu or running the upgrade command | 03:33 |
| fahadash | What does LTS stands for ? I am not good at acronyms | 03:33 |
| Ari-Yang | long time support | 03:33 |
| === jack is now known as Guest49616 | ||
| cfhowlett | ObrienDave, count me as an LTS only user. newer versions are nice, but I prefer my upgrade/install headaches to come only every 2 years. That said, the last 2 upgrades went as smooth as a baby's behind | 03:33 |
| ObrienDave | long term support | 03:33 |
| fahadash | Is ubuntu made in Australia ? | 03:33 |
| cfhowlett | !lts|fahadash, | 03:33 |
| ubottu | fahadash,: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 03:33 |
| Ari-Yang | fahadash, if you don't want to upgrade every few months and rather long time support, use LTS... so now you'd use 12.04 | 03:33 |
| cfhowlett | fahadash, ubuntu developers are worldwide | 03:33 |
| Ari-Yang | !upgrade | fahadash | 03:34 |
| ubottu | fahadash: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 03:34 |
| fahadash | Thank you guys | 03:34 |
| fahadash | I am 80% sure I won't miss windows | 03:34 |
| ObrienDave | cfhowlett, yep, so i gathered ;)) | 03:34 |
| Ari-Yang | fahadash, are you a gamer?.... | 03:35 |
| Ari-Yang | fahadash, you should also make sure that whatever software/programs you use on windows is available on ubuntu, at least equivalents... | 03:35 |
| xmetal | still (when i do get a distro of Ubuntu) debating which version i'd download | 03:35 |
| fahadash | Ari-Yang: Nope, just a normal computer user, Do lot of skype-chatting, take a lot of pictures and keep them in my computer, be on social media most of the time | 03:35 |
| Ari-Yang | fahadash, oh, well in that case, you should be fine on ubuntu then | 03:36 |
| Ari-Yang | xmetal, if you don't want to upgrade every few months, just get LTS.... | 03:36 |
| fahadash | If this works out, I will explore the possibilities of installing Ubuntu mobile on my windows phone | 03:36 |
| cfhowlett | xmetal, choose one. if you want to try others, do this: install, say, ubuntu. Oh wait! You want to taste lubuntu? install lxde. or xfce4. that way you can see the look and feel without reinstalling multiples. OR get the other distros and put them in virtualbox. | 03:36 |
| Ari-Yang | personally, I would've installed LTS on this laptop if I was more aware back then | 03:36 |
| ObrienDave | fahadash, what you really need to decide is if there are any Windows programs that you absolutely need to have. | 03:37 |
| fahadash | ObrienDave, Skype and Norton Antivirus | 03:37 |
| Ari-Yang | Norton-LOL XD | 03:37 |
| fahadash | !ubuntu | norton | 03:37 |
| ubottu | norton: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com | 03:37 |

| ubottu | fahadash,: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 03:37 |
| fahadash | why do I not need antivirus ? | 03:38 |
| Ari-Yang | read the page, fahadash... | 03:38 |
| fahadash | ok | 03:38 |
| cfhowlett | fahadash, read the page! | 03:38 |
| Ari-Yang | first off fahadash you should've be using Norton anyway.... | 03:38 |
| Ari-Yang | no matter what you use..... | 03:38 |
| ObrienDave | there is ClamAV | 03:38 |
| jp_ | m'fer, getting this low disk space error now "The filesystem root has only 1.1GB remaining..." | 03:38 |
| xmetal | I am just thinking (just say Firefox for an example) that if I go with LTS, i will be stuck with old versions of Firefox ... if i understand correctly .. the software doesn't "upgrade" (say versus 13.10 when it's released) but there are security upgrades to LTS releases | 03:38 |
| fahadash | what do you mean ? Do you advise against Norton ? | 03:38 |
| xmetal | lol i think i just confused myself | 03:39 |
| ObrienDave | xmetal, us also LOL | 03:39 |
| jp_ | lol fahadash. if you get norton installed on ubuntu | 03:39 |
| cfhowlett | jp_, time to clean up? sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean will clear out old packages | 03:39 |
| Ari-Yang | fahadash, this is off topic but yeah, you should ditch Norton and use MSE (microsoft security essentials) | 03:39 |
| xmetal | I am a dual booter with various PC's (and various Distros of Linux) and WIndows and I'd never use Norton | 03:39 |
| jp_ | you have got to be baiting thies chan | 03:39 |
| Ari-Yang | xmetal, I think you can update FireFox to its latest versions just fine on LTS.... | 03:40 |
| cfhowlett | xmetal, sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade will grab newer packages. Also, enable backports to capture packages that way that have been enabled for older ubuntu versions | 03:40 |
| fahadash | I like the Reason # 6 there arent very many linux viruses | 03:40 |
| xmetal | oh really? ... in that case (even counting 13.10 releasing soon) i may go with 12.04 LTS | 03:41 |
| Ari-Yang | xmetal, what card do you have? you using desktop or laptop? | 03:41 |
| xmetal | or if 14.04 will be LTS i MAY just wait until then | 03:41 |
| cfhowlett | xmetal, and be aware: the next LTS is 14.04 next year | 03:41 |

| fahadash | ubuntutis: C++ | 04:04 |
| cfhowlett | xmetal, if you install 12.04 now, you can auto-update to 14.04 later .. although I've found download/clean install to be the more reliable practice. | 04:04 |
| ubuntutis | fahadash what would be a few programming languages to create a chatbox for a panel in my website | 04:05 |
| xmetal | true ... if i am "starting fresh" (would try it in VM first) ... I'd probably opt to get 14.04 and 'clean install" it | 04:05 |

| freechode | Hallo | 04:19 |
| freechode | I tried to install xubuntu from synaptic to have a lighter OS running and ended up mesing up my install of ubuntu.. for some reason it still ran ubuntu and xubuntu until i tried to upgrade to 12.04 from i think 9.10 | 04:20 |
| freechode | and now uses xubuntu splash screen and when i try to login to a ubuntu session says "Session failed: ubuntu:" or some shiz | 04:20 |
| cfhowlett | freechode, as 9.10 is end of life, you'll find it difficult to upgrade. best bet is to download 12.04 and clean install | 04:20 |

| wilee-nilee | sun_fengxiang, No problem. | 05:08 |
| tomc603 | Any tips on where I could look to find out what is going on? | 05:08 |
| cfhowlett | tomc603, indicator settings/preferences? | 05:08 |
| wilee-nilee | tomc603, You want the #ubuntu+1 channel for 13.10 | 05:08 |
| wilee-nilee | maybe that fixes it though | 05:09 |
| tomc603 | Yeah, I figured I'd try in here, because I don't necessarily think this problem is 13.10 specific...just figured I'd mention pertinent info | 05:09 |
| tomc603 | cfhowlett, I don't know of any other preferences other that in dconf-editor. "empathy.desktop" is listed there, so I'd expect this all to work. :) | 05:13 |
| cfhowlett | tomc603, ask in this channel. someone else will know. Xubuntu has a different setup, so I can't be more helpful. | 05:13 |

| === jack is now known as Guest37354 | ||
| tomc603 | Unfortunate. I haven't reinstalled for 2 or 3 upgrades and really didn't want to have to just for such a trivial issue. But I suspect other packages have been dropped or are config-rotten now. | 05:18 |
| wilee-nilee | tomc603, You can fresh install with saved package list and any ppa, anddo it faster in general once you get used to it, and maybe have a seperate home. | 05:20 |
| wilee-nilee | who was that masked helper | 05:22 |
| wilee-nilee | ;) | 05:22 |
| tomc603 | wilee-nilee, I presume this would be by using dpkg --get-selections? | 05:23 |
| === arayaq_ is now known as arayaq | ||
| wilee-nilee | tomc603, yeah, that be it, you can even load it to synaptic, I just save a cre extras liost and the ppa's myself. | 05:24 |
| wilee-nilee | core* | 05:25 |
| wilee-nilee | You just need to save the keys to the ppa's as well, and make sure they have a version for the release. | 05:26 |
| tomc603 | I'll have to look up some of the finer details of using get and set selections to do this right. There is a bit of cruft in my get-selections list of the deinstall variety. | 05:27 |
| wilee-nilee | tomc603, It took me a bit of working with it to get it streanmed lined, but not that much, saves about 3 hours here and I have a fresh install. | 05:28 |
| tomc603 | Yeah, three hours is what I'd call worth while. :) | 05:29 |

| RageYL | (i connect to it with an identity file) | 06:49 |
| guerrero | anybody active? | 06:51 |
| somsip | guerrero: you want to compile each package from source? why? | 06:52 |
| KI7MT | guerrero, You'll probably want to bootstrap the initial toolset / toolchain .. debootstrap is your best option there. | 06:53 |
| xmetal | hmm i have to admit i am curious and probably going to try archlinux soon and i haved used Slackware (and still do) but NOT having to complie from source is one of the reasons for distro's like Ubuntu | 06:54 |
| guerrero | somsip: I am working on a research project that requires me to make changes to the OS. After the changes, need to build and run it up through a simulator. | 06:54 |
| KI7MT | guerrero, This should get you going in the right direction: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/powerpc/linux-upgrade.html | 06:54 |
| KI7MT | it's for powerpc., but steps are about same. | 06:54 |
| somsip | guerrero: changes to Ubuntu, or changes to any OS? Look at LFS maybe,,, | 06:54 |
| KI7MT | Bootstrapping Debian and Ubuntu is easy, and is probably the best way to work things without going into then VM world. | 06:55 |
| guerrero | somsip: LFS is too barebones for this one. I am keen on Ubuntu 12.04 for various reasons. | 06:55 |
| somsip | guerrero: well, you're well ouside the scope of support provided here, but it seems like KI7MT knows more about this so I shall leave you with you both | 06:56 |
| KI7MT | Yep, I ahve an LFS toolchain on my Ubuntu box right now, use it for cross-compiling mingw64 | 06:56 |
| KI7MT | Whoops sri, didn't mean to go OT or anything. debootstrap is Ubuntu though. | 06:57 |
| CosmicB | guerrero if you're going to tinker with kernel source and rebuild, if it really doesn't matter which OS it is I'd take look at FreeBSD. I'm not a big FreeBSD fan, but I have not seen any Linux distro able to make recompiling the kernel as easy as in FreeBSD | 06:57 |
| KI7MT | Slack 14.0 is nice too. | 06:57 |
| guerrero | KI7MT: I'll check out the link and be back. | 06:58 |

| TomyLobo | hrm | 07:16 |
| TomyLobo | isnt holding meant for that? | 07:17 |
| bazhang | !pinning | TomyLobo | 07:17 |
| ubottu | TomyLobo: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 07:17 |
| TomyLobo | that talks about pinning to releases (hardy, intrepid) mine are both from the same PPA | 07:17 |
| bazhang | TomyLobo, then you should mention PPA | 07:18 |
| TomyLobo | sorry | 07:18 |
| bazhang | you want the PPA or not | 07:18 |
| TomyLobo | well i guess i could just remove it since that's the only thing from it | 07:19 |
| bazhang | use ppa-purge then | 07:19 |
| bazhang | !ppa-purge | TomyLobo | 07:19 |
| ubottu | TomyLobo: 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 | 07:19 |
| TomyLobo | purge? that sounds harsh... i'd just remove the file for it under sources.list.d and apt-get update | 07:20 |
| maxb | You need ppa-purge if you don't want to have to manually chase down the packages that you need to downgrade back to main-archive versions | 07:21 |
| wilee-nilee | purge will remove the ppa package if there is a version in the ubuntu repos | 07:21 |
| TomyLobo | there's just one package from there | 07:21 |
| TomyLobo | and i want to keep it in the same version it is right now | 07:21 |
| bazhang | TomyLobo, thats the very best way to do it, what you choose is up to you | 07:21 |
| wilee-nilee | TomyLobo, You can lock installs in synaptic. | 07:21 |
| TomyLobo | wilee-nilee: is that the same as "hold" in aptitude? | 07:22 |
| TomyLobo | if so, then it doesnt work | 07:22 |
| bazhang | TomyLobo, if you purge it , it goes back to the repo version; you cannot have your PPA and eat it too | 07:22 |
| wilee-nilee | TomyLobo, Only in that it locks the package not a release. | 07:22 |
| KI7MT | ppa and eat it too :-) good one | 07:22 |

| somsip | lpapp: ISTR finding a bug in wsgi-mod that had some easy fix when I installed this. I'll have a look and try to remind myself | 07:31 |
| reisio | #ubuntu-server ? | 07:31 |
| bazhang | lpapp, try on ONE line, thats impossible to read | 07:31 |
| lpapp | bazhang: somsip seems to have managed it... | 07:32 |
| lpapp | somsip: ISTR means? | 07:32 |
| swaagie | morning sirs, raring fails to install on an uefi system for me, the installer fails to install grub-efi into /target/, I tried a lot of the solutions presented on the interwebs but to no avail, what bothers me is that I can't install any of the grub-efi-amd64 packages either before running the installation due to a version mismatch, anyone got directions? | 07:32 |
| bazhang | paolo_, ubuntu should use the same repos as ubuntu studio | 07:32 |
| somsip | lpapp: I mis-remembered. It wasn't a bug, but I did struggle to get the vhosts file just right. | 07:33 |
| lpapp | is #ubuntu-server better suited for this question? | 07:33 |
| reisio | lpapp: I can't imagine otherwise | 07:33 |
| lpapp | ok, I will try there. | 07:33 |
| cfhowlett | bazhang, xsane is the in ubuntustudio 12.04 universe repo | 07:33 |
| somsip | lpapp: so just down to doing something new and a bit complex rather than anything being 'wrong; in my case. 12.04 here | 07:33 |
| ObrienDave | !it | paolo_ | 07:34 |
| ubottu | paolo_: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) | 07:34 |
| bazhang | cfhowlett, tell that to paolo_ then | 07:34 |
| cfhowlett | bazhang, I thought YOU had the rapport! :) | 07:35 |
| lpapp | somsip: I took it to #ubuntu-server. You are welcome to join there. | 07:35 |

| swaagie | how would I find out what is the cause of the failed installation of grub-efi into /target/? | 07:40 |
| Kartagis | urgent | 07:51 |
| Kartagis | I can't see video on skype | 07:51 |
| Kartagis | any ideas? | 07:51 |
| wilee-nilee | swaagie, this uefi windows? | 07:52 |
| swaagie | was | 07:52 |
| bazhang | !details | Kartagis | 07:52 |
| ubottu | Kartagis: 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 ..." | 07:52 |
| wilee-nilee | swaagie, was meaning? | 07:52 |
| === jagger|away is now known as jagger | ||
| swaagie | wilee-nilee: initially I tried to do it alongside w8, but decided w8 wasn't worth the trouble anyways | 07:53 |
| wilee-nilee | swaagie, Some have just wiped the HD, and set the bios to legacy and done a msdos partitioning, you might look into that. | 07:54 |
| swaagie | wilee-nilee: yeah I guess that would be the better option for now | 07:54 |
| swaagie | thx | 07:54 |
| swaagie | I'll check and report back :) | 07:54 |
| wilee-nilee | if possible thats what I would do | 07:54 |
| wilee-nilee | Kartagis, You install cheeses to see if the camera is working? | 07:57 |
| wilee-nilee | cheese | 07:57 |
| cfhowlett | !cheese | 07:57 |
| === Squall56681 is now known as Squall5668 | ||
| wilee-nilee | !find cheese | 07:58 |
| ubottu | Found: cheese, cheese-common, gir1.2-cheese-3.0, libcheese-dev, libcheese-doc | 07:58 |
| Kartagis | wilee-nilee: cheese doesn't show me anything either | 07:59 |
| swaagie | wilee-nilee: would you advise manual partitioning or just let the installer do it? | 08:00 |
| wilee-nilee | Kartagis, I would check the web on that camera and ubuntu, | 08:00 |
| wilee-nilee | swaagie, You need to make a msdos partition table, your choice on the install, | 08:00 |
| swaagie | ah yeah I see thx | 08:01 |
| manuel | sup people | 08:01 |
| wilee-nilee | swaagie, The only thing I have seen with people converting a gpt HD are bits of the gpt still there inspite of a unallocated HD, so it might need the mbr dd'ed | 08:02 |
| wilee-nilee | a new table may fix that | 08:03 |
| cfhowlett | wilee-nilee, exactly. drove me crazy when I had my triple boot system | 08:03 |
| wilee-nilee | cfhowlett, Usually just HD's strangest thing and the only way we could find them was with the boot script. | 08:04 |
| swaagie | that seems to be the case, also the free space reported is in separated parts etc | 08:05 |
| Kartagis | wilee-nilee: how? the camera's light is on | 08:06 |
| wilee-nilee | Kartagis, Internal camera run lspci to find external a usb run lsusb | 08:07 |
| wilee-nilee | Kartagis, My assumption is a driver might be missing, hopefuly to be found. | 08:08 |
| Kartagis | strange, I have a camera but lspci doesn't show me | 08:09 |
| faugusztin | Kartagis: lsusb ? | 08:11 |
| Kartagis | faugusztin: it's internal | 08:11 |
| wilee-nilee | swaagie, this website is worth being aware of. http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/ | 08:12 |

| faugusztin | Kartagis: that doesn't change the fact that 99% of the cameras are connected via USB, even the internal ones | 08:14 |
| ObrienDave | Kartagis, it might still be on a USB bus | 08:14 |

| Woomla | How can I make a script to change the directory? I've a script but after execution it reverts back to the directory I execute the script. | 08:32 |
| Gentoo64 | Woomla: cd | 08:33 |
| Gentoo64 | o | 08:33 |
| Gentoo64 | thats because its not run in your actual shell | 08:33 |
| Woomla | Any solution for that? | 08:34 |
| Rory | Woomla: Get your script to return a string, and then call it with cd `sh scriptname.sh` | 08:34 |
| Kartagis | how can I solve my webcam issue? | 08:34 |
| Rory | What webcam do you have, Kartagis ? | 08:34 |
| finchd | Kartagis: find out what the manufacturer/model is. maybe with 'lspci'? | 08:35 |
| Woomla | Rory: actually I want a shortcut for "cd ..". I always type "cd.." which isn't recognized. | 08:35 |
| Rory | Woomla: put in your .bashrc: alias up="cd .." | 08:35 |
| Gentoo64 | use an alias | 08:35 |
| Kartagis | Rory: absolutely no idea. neither lspci nor lsusb show anything. all I know is it's an internal one | 08:35 |
| Rory | Woomla: Then you can just type "up" | 08:35 |
| Gentoo64 | cd .. should work though | 08:36 |
| Rory | Kartagis: Can you please put the output of the lsusb command onto http://paste.ubuntu.com | 08:36 |
| wilee-nilee | Kartagis, whats the computer model? | 08:36 |
| Kartagis | wilee-nilee: lenovo sl300 | 08:36 |

| Wiz_KeeD | hey guys | 08:37 |
| Gentoo64 | Woomla: can be very useful | 08:37 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Can anyone tell me how I can determine wether the updates that came out on the gui are from the official repositories or others? | 08:37 |
| Wiz_KeeD | All repositories i've added extra are for "Sublime Text Editor" and "Canonical Partners" | 08:38 |
| miketeevee | i summarized my fork-findings on my gist, can someone assist me? https://gist.github.com/michael-trelinski | 08:38 |
| Kartagis | Wiz_KeeD: netstat | 08:38 |
| Rory | Kartagis: What Ubuntu version are you using? | 08:38 |
| makeio | hi! I have a problem with APT, when I try to update/upgrade my ubuntu I recived an error saying me that I have dependencies problemes, and I can't go on. I try solve de problem with apt-get install -f, aptitude install -f, synaptic.. and I don't have the solution. | 08:38 |
| Kartagis | Rory: 13.04 | 08:38 |
| makeio | When I try to enter to synaptic, it says me that I have broken packets, but if I try to delete it I says me that it will remove a lot of essentials packets like mount, hostname... I think that it would be my finish | 08:38 |
| Woomla | Gentoo64: alias works like a charm. Is it persistent between loggins, or do I need to edit a file? | 08:38 |
| Wiz_KeeD | now what Kartagis ? | 08:38 |
| miketeevee | fork consumes double the memory on 12.04.3 v.s. 10.04 | 08:38 |
| Gentoo64 | Woomla: add it to .bashrc | 08:38 |
| Gentoo64 | alias up="cd .." | 08:38 |
| Wiz_KeeD | i got sumac.canonical.c at one point | 08:39 |
| Kartagis | Wiz_KeeD: then compare the output of netstat -antlp with repo's IP | 08:39 |
| Wiz_KeeD | how do I get the repo's ip? | 08:39 |
| Rory | Kartagis: can you try sudo modprobe -r uvcvideosudo modprobe -r uvcvideo; sudo modprobe uvcvideo quirks=16 | 08:39 |
| Kartagis | nslookup repo | 08:39 |
| Gentoo64 | Kartagis: there seriously must be a better way to do it than netstat | 08:39 |
| Wiz_KeeD | http://pastie.org/8338305 | 08:40 |
| grahamsavage | without going into the limitations of the protocol itself, what would be the recommendation most secure/reliable ftp server? | 08:40 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Kartagis, if i remove the other repo's I can't update the applications I've installed through them can I? | 08:40 |
| Kartagis | Rory: FATAL: Module uvcvideo is in use. | 08:40 |
| Rory | Kartagis: gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/options | 08:41 |
| Gentoo64 | Wiz_KeeD: sublime has a standalone download | 08:41 |
| Gentoo64 | no need for a repo | 08:41 |
| Rory | At the bottom add the following line: options uvcvideo quirks=16 | 08:41 |
| Rory | Kartagis: Then reboot | 08:41 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Gentoo64, it does not install it in the gui and does not update it | 08:42 |
| Wiz_KeeD | You just download and run | 08:42 |
| Gentoo64 | Wiz_KeeD: yeah | 08:42 |
| Kartagis | I hope it works | 08:42 |
| DJones | miketeevee: Its a bit quiet here at the minute, I'm trying to think whether there might be another channel that might be able to help | 08:42 |
| Gentoo64 | Wiz_KeeD: it checks for updates though | 08:42 |
| Gentoo64 | on run | 08:42 |
| Gentoo64 | just copy the files over | 08:42 |
| Kartagis | if it does, I'm gonna kiss you Rory | 08:42 |
| Kartagis | brb | 08:42 |
| Wiz_KeeD | yeah but it does not integrate with the gui properly | 08:42 |
| Wiz_KeeD | anyway, furthest away from my issues | 08:42 |
| Gentoo64 | ah you mean icons and stuff | 08:43 |
| Myrtti | AskUbuntu might be of help too | 08:43 |
| Wiz_KeeD | yeah that's it Gentoo64 | 08:43 |
| xiaclo | grahamsavage: if you keep up with updates it doesn't matter much. I prefer vsftpd, never had issues with it. Depending on your clients though, you can look into FTPS for SSL encryption without requiring SSH. | 08:43 |
| grahamsavage | xiaclo: yeah has to be standard ftp | 08:44 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I'm very interested in this update since it updates the jockey thingy that helps the wireless interface | 08:44 |
| Wiz_KeeD | maybe the broadcom driver thing will be fixe now | 08:44 |
| grahamsavage | xiaclo: it's for devices to do their firmware updates, so no choice in protocols | 08:44 |
| otak | +- | 08:45 |
| Kartagis | Rory: it doesn't :S | 08:46 |
| xiaclo | grahamsavage: I would still go with vsftpd, anonymous read-only access would be quite secure for that use case. | 08:46 |
| otak | ~~~i9hhhhhhhhhh yuuuuuuuc | 08:46 |
| grahamsavage | xiaclo: awesome thankyou for the tips :D | 08:46 |

| Kartagis | Wiz_KeeD: assume | 08:50 |
| 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* | 08:50 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Remmoved all repositories from Other software | 08:50 |

| Wiz_KeeD | I don't like assumptions :-s | 08:50 |
| Kartagis | Wiz_KeeD: update first | 08:50 |
| aeon-ltd | prateek: on the freenode channel ask about how to use alis to search for channels | 08:51 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Nah, i'm scared to do it, maybe some other repos are in and will break my system | 08:51 |

| Rory | Kartagis: Can you check if it's enabled in your BIOS? F1 -> Security -> IO Port Access -> Integrated Camera | 08:53 |
| Kartagis | Rory: the light is on. wouldn't that make it enabled? | 08:53 |
| Rory | Kartagis: The light is on all the time? Most cams only have their light on when they're actively in use | 08:54 |
| Kartagis | Rory: it's off at the moment | 08:54 |
| Rory | Kartagis: When does it turn on? | 08:54 |

| Kartagis | what does c mean anyway in file permissions? | 08:58 |
| grahamsavage | xiaclo: with vsftpd.. is there an option to have a un/pw login without a creating a unix account? | 08:59 |

| Nephro | What are the implication of installing a 32 bit OS on a 64bit server machine? | 09:02 |

| Nephro | I heard that 32bit os's can't handle 16Gb of ram | 09:04 |
| Nephro | DJones, motherboard issue, can't install 64bit kernel on this particular one | 09:04 |
| reisio | Nephro: looking silly | 09:04 |
| Nephro | reisio ? | 09:04 |
| KI7MT | yeah, 32bit limit is 4gb | 09:05 |
| reisio | Nephro: why, because of the BIOS? | 09:05 |
| DJones | Nephro: This may help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit | 09:05 |
| kale_ | 32 bit os cant handle more than 4 gb of ram i think | 09:05 |
| reisio | sure it can | 09:05 |
| reisio | but it's unlikely a box with a 64-bit proc can't handle a 64-bit OS | 09:05 |

| k1l_ | !guidelines > B00n3r | 09:08 |
| ubottu | B00n3r, please see my private message | 09:08 |
| Rory | Wiz_KeeD: You can set labels for partitions using gparted | 09:08 |
| reisio | or ntfslabel directly | 09:09 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Any other way without installing third-party applications Rory? | 09:09 |

| faugusztin | Nephro: why is enabling IOMMU not a viable solution for you ? | 09:09 |
| reisio | faugusztin: is that not part of some thread hijacking? | 09:09 |

| Wiz_KeeD | What is that called Rory? | 09:09 |

| B00n3r | fag | 09:10 |

| faugusztin | reisio: considering the Gigabyte naming scheme, DS3 should be above D3, it should have that bios option (checking manual now) | 09:12 |
| faugusztin | reisio: indeed, according to the manual even DS3 has that option, so he should just try that solution | 09:13 |
| KI7MT | I suppose the correct statement about 32bit & 4gb ram is address extension, not physical RAM, PAE enables an extension in the kernel, but the address length is still 32bit. | 09:14 |

| Increase | I was curious on how to make my casper file work at saving. | 09:24 |
| Increase | Every time I shut down, nothing saves. | 09:24 |
| Increase | I used the pen drive linux creater | 09:24 |
| Rory | Could you re-phrase that Increase ? What are you trying to do? Are you trying to make persistance work on a Live USB? | 09:24 |
| Increase | Yes | 09:24 |
| Increase | Rory: | 09:24 |
| Rory | Increase: Try using my preferred tool: Linux Live USB http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ | 09:25 |
| Rory | Increase: It's always worked for me. Everyone has their favourite though | 09:25 |
| Increase | Alright. | 09:25 |
| fortunecookie | asaik, casper-based live = only partition-based persistence supported | 09:26 |
| Kartagis | Increase++ | 09:26 |
| Kartagis | that's also increasing, right? | 09:26 |
| Kartagis | :D | 09:26 |
| Increase | The one I used said it was creating a persistent file, but it doesn't work. The casper file is there though. | 09:26 |
| Increase | Do I have to partion it or something? | 09:26 |
| fortunecookie | there are a truck of live distro support file-based persistence nowadays. time to say goodbye to knoppix. | 09:27 |
| Kartagis | so? | 09:28 |
| Kartagis | my cam issue? | 09:28 |
| Increase | bloop | 09:37 |
| reisio | eep ep | 09:37 |
| reisio | eep op, even | 09:37 |
| fortunecookie | well, is there a channel about ubuntu touch? | 09:38 |
| k1l_ | !touch | fortunecookie | 09:38 |
| ubottu | fortunecookie: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch | 09:39 |
| fortunecookie | oh, i have known that | 09:39 |
| karab44 | hello | 09:39 |

| fahadash_awy | Hello | 09:58 |
| === fahadash_awy is now known as fahadash | ||
| fahadash | which folder represents the launchbar ? | 09:59 |
| utfans05 | Heres a good one for yall. My Logitech G5 is giving me issues with 12.04. When it is hooked up to the system it's acting really weird. I can't left click or right click but it works fine in Portal. Any ideas on what's going on? | 09:59 |
| ikonia | works fine in portal ? | 10:00 |
| ikonia | what is protal ? the game ? | 10:00 |
| utfans05 | Yup. | 10:00 |
| ikonia | utfans05: so on the ubuntu desktop you cannot click your mouse ? | 10:00 |
| utfans05 | Nope. | 10:00 |
| ikonia | utfans05: so how are you launching portal ? | 10:01 |
| utfans05 | Yeah its a weird one. | 10:01 |
| utfans05 | I run synergy with another pc. | 10:01 |
| === levin is now known as Guest25835 | ||
| utfans05 | I have tried disconnecting synergy and it still acts the same. | 10:01 |
| ikonia | utfans05: how did you setup synergy without a mouse | 10:01 |
| utfans05 | I had synergy setup first before I launched portal. Trying to play it using the other pc | 10:02 |
| utfans05 | And the mouse input was too iradic due to the signal traveling over the network. | 10:02 |
| ikonia | utfans05: yes, but synergy is not setup by default on ubuntu, so how did you set it up if you can't use a mouse | 10:02 |
| fahadash | lol | 10:03 |
| utfans05 | ikonia, This system has been setup for weeks. | 10:03 |
| utfans05 | Plus you can use synergy from command line. | 10:03 |
| fahadash | ikonia doesnt beleive you man | 10:03 |
| ikonia | utfans05: does that mean the mouse used to work and no longer does | 10:03 |
| ikonia | fahadash: please don't make things up - I'm trying to understand the problem | 10:03 |
| utfans05 | My dell mouse works on it | 10:03 |
| ikonia | fahadash: I'll speak for myself thanks | 10:03 |
| utfans05 | The G5 doesnt | 10:03 |
| ikonia | utfans05: so you used to use another mouse, | 10:04 |
| ikonia | utfans05: has the G5 ever worked ? | 10:04 |
| utfans05 | Yes. I've used it for years. This is the first time i've tried to use it on ubuntu 12.04 | 10:05 |
| ikonia | utfans05: sorry, so it's never worked on ubuntu to be clear, as this is the first time you are trying to use it ? | 10:05 |
| utfans05 | I've used it on 10.04 and 11.04 and it worked fine. | 10:05 |
| ikonia | ok, so it's since you've moved to 12.04 it's not worked | 10:06 |
| utfans05 | Yup. | 10:06 |
| wasanzy | hi guys | 10:07 |
| Rory | hi wasanzy | 10:07 |
| ikonia | utfans05: does the mouse actually work in terms of moving the pointer | 10:07 |
| wasanzy | hope you are doing well? | 10:07 |
| Kartagis | my cam issue? | 10:07 |
| utfans05 | Yes. | 10:08 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: that's just a useless statement | 10:08 |
| wasanzy | any one has success in customizing the ubuntu unity desktop? | 10:08 |
| ikonia | utfans05: do any of the buttons work | 10:08 |
| utfans05 | No. | 10:08 |
| ikonia | utfans05: even the extra side ones ? | 10:08 |
| wasanzy | the tweak tool has not enough to customize | 10:08 |
| Kartagis | ikonia: I've been asking here for a while. but let me tell you anyway | 10:08 |
| utfans05 | ikonia, None of them work. But on my win7 box it works fine | 10:08 |
| Kartagis | ikonia: my internal webcam doesn't work | 10:09 |
| ikonia | utfans05: ok, so getting a better picture | 10:09 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: tell the channel - not me | 10:09 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: but saying "my cam issue?" is just a waste of time | 10:09 |
| ikonia | it means nothing | 10:09 |
| Kartagis | okay | 10:09 |
| k1l_ | Kartagis: did you give your lsusb / lspci in a pastebin? | 10:09 |
| ikonia | utfans05: a little odd, documentation suggests left/mouse right buttons should work, but the wheel and additional buttons may require extra configuration | 10:10 |
| ikonia | utfans05: are you aware of the evtest program ? | 10:10 |
| Kartagis | k1l_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6127424/ | 10:10 |
| utfans05 | ikonia, no im not. | 10:11 |
| ikonia | utfans05: ok, I'd suggest installing that, it monitors mouse events, that way you can see if a mouse event is triggered when you press the buttons | 10:11 |
| ikonia | utfans05: that may help get an idea of what's actually going on | 10:11 |
| utfans05 | Yeah. Installed and about to test it out. | 10:11 |
| utfans05 | ikonia, it's picking the click up. | 10:13 |
| glambert | what could be causing regular segfaults? applications or the kernal? hardware perhaps? | 10:14 |
| ikonia | utfans05: ok, so that's at least something positive. | 10:15 |
| ikonia | utfans05: the question is why is your desktop ignore this.... | 10:15 |
| utfans05 | ikonia, Yeah. Now I've got a good starting point. Thanks! | 10:15 |
| k1l_ | Kartagis: which lenovo is it? which ubuntu? | 10:15 |
| Myrtti | glambert: hardware more probably, run memtest, fdisk, smartmontools etc | 10:20 |
| ikonia | utfans05: I'm just having a look around at the moment see if there is anything obvious with why this wouldn't work on the desktop - but does on apps | 10:20 |
| Kartagis | k1l_: lenovo sl-300 and 13.04 | 10:20 |
| glambert | Myrtti, afraid you'd say that. the server is about 300 miles away :P | 10:21 |
| k1l_ | Kartagis: see this and the comments: http://kylewilliams.co.za/2009/03/05/getting-the-lenovo-sl300-camera-to-work-on-linux/comment-page-1 that seemed to work for 12.04 and probaply for 13.03 | 10:22 |
| Myrtti | glambert: well, if it all of a sudden starts segfaulting when it previously hasn't, and the same software hasn't been known to cause segfaults for others, then hardware is the most probable cause. | 10:23 |
| utfans05 | ikonia, Yeah, I'm doing the same thing. I'll get it fixed. | 10:23 |
| utfans05 | Thanks! | 10:23 |
| glambert | Myrtti, thanks. got a few servers doing the same things software wise and it's the only one segfaulting | 10:24 |
| glambert | sometimes on a daily basis | 10:24 |
| shashank_ | hi | 10:25 |
| shashank_ | ubuntu world | 10:25 |
| Kartagis | k1l_: it worked thanks a lot | 10:26 |
| wasanzy | my problem with ubuntu 13.04 is that, some application indicators are missing. like skype, when you close it too, in the previous version, u see it on the top panel, but this 13.04 doesn't have that. how can I fix it? | 10:26 |
| faugusztin | wasanzy: alt+right click on the top bar, add to panel, notification area | 10:27 |
| wasanzy | ok, let me try | 10:28 |
| wasanzy | faugusztin: that is not working. right click did nothing | 10:29 |
| faugusztin | wasanzy: Alt+right click | 10:30 |
| cantoma | hey guys, any sound mixer apps for wmaker? I have just tried wmmixer but it doesn't seem to work | 10:31 |
| wasanzy | extactly what I did faugusztin | 10:31 |
| faugusztin | wasanzy: seems like in unity it is a bit different http://askubuntu.com/questions/89774/gnome-panel-alt-right-click-does-not-work | 10:31 |
| wasanzy | ok | 10:33 |
| faugusztin | wasanzy: but the point is the same - you need to add "notification area" to your panel, the only question is how you get there :D | 10:34 |
| wasanzy | Unity is boring paaaa | 10:35 |
| fortunecookie | ubuntu arm + mir +unity is not | 10:36 |
| wasanzy | which key is supper key? | 10:36 |
| Rory | wasanzy: Between Ctrl and Alt, it usually has a Windows logo on it | 10:37 |
| k1l_ | wasanzy: super key = windows key | 10:37 |
| fortunecookie | would ubuntu touch replace unity in the future? | 10:37 |
| k1l_ | fortunecookie: no | 10:37 |
| fortunecookie | oh | 10:37 |
| shashank_ | hello | 10:38 |
| k1l_ | fortunecookie: the ubuntu-touch will be merged into the new unity. and the it will be launch ubuntu-touch if its on a mobile/tablet and the regular unity if its on a desktop | 10:38 |
| wasanzy | ok thanks | 10:38 |
| k1l_ | fortunecookie: so it will be one unity with different handling for the devices | 10:39 |
| wasanzy | aahhh those keys are als not working hmmm | 10:39 |
| fortunecookie | that's just my feeling | 10:40 |
| faugusztin | wasanzy: hm, looking around, seems like unity removed gnome applet support in 13.04 :O... time for you to switch to gnome then i guess :D | 10:44 |
| faugusztin | wasanzy: http://www.webupd8.org/2013/05/how-to-get-systray-whitelist-back-in.html but don't blame me if it doesn't work :) | 10:45 |
| wasanzy | ok | 10:46 |
| === elhomme is now known as Yo | ||
| === Yo is now known as Guest38571 | ||
| faugusztin | wasanzy: but it seems unity has a newer version, so it probably won't work... so either find a indicator for your app, or use something else than unity unfortunately | 10:48 |
| fahadash | Whats Unity ? | 10:48 |
| Rory | !unity | fahadash | 10:48 |
| ubottu | fahadash: Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity | 10:48 |
| === xeon is now known as svector | ||
| fahadash | !notunity | 10:49 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. | 10:49 |
| fahadash | I don't like GNOME | 10:49 |
| fahadash | I used it with SLES 9 at my workplace | 10:49 |
| fahadash | I like KDE better | 10:50 |
| Rory | Do you have an Ubuntu support question fahadash ? | 10:50 |
| fahadash | Is it possible to get KDE on ubuntu ? | 10:50 |
| Rory | !kubuntu | fahadash | 10:50 |
| ubottu | fahadash: Kubuntu is the Ubuntu flavour using KDE Software and the KDE Plasma Workspaces. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support join #kubuntu - See also !kde | 10:50 |
| Rory | fahadash: You can do apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 10:51 |
| fahadash | Then I get to keep the Unity with it ? | 10:51 |
| Rory | fahadash: yes you can choose which one to use before you log in | 10:51 |
| fahadash | ok | 10:51 |
| fahadash | Where can I find SDK for Unity ? | 10:52 |
| Rory | What do you want to do? | 10:52 |
| fahadash | Start developing apps for Ubuntu with UI on unity | 10:52 |
| Rory | You use GTK or QT. Unity is just the launcher and dash | 10:52 |
| fahadash | Thanks. Do applications created for Ubuntu such as a game or a music player have to be free and opensource ? | 10:53 |
| Rory | No fahadash there are no restrictions on running software you wrote on Ubuntu | 10:53 |
| fahadash | I am talking about selling it | 10:54 |
| Rory | fahadash: No, there are many non-free applications for Linux | 10:54 |
| fahadash | And how about soure code, do I have to make it public because it runs on Linux ? | 10:54 |
| Rory | fahadash: It is up to you what license you release your software under. Like I said: there are many non-free applications for Linux | 10:55 |
| fahadash | Thanks | 10:55 |

| ne2k | hi, I've been installed 12.04.3 amd64 server from a CD, and decided to give netboot a go as I have mutliple servers to install at once. I've got it all set up and can PXE boot into a boot menu, but it looks different from the one on the CD -- I think it might be the desktop one, not the server one. I used this image: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ | 11:05 |
| ne2k | I've browsed around dists/precise/main/ but can't see a different directory for a server installer vs. a desktop installer. what's the right way to go about netbooting a server installer? | 11:06 |
| auronandace | ne2k: a netboot install is just like the mini install, you install what you need (at least thats what i thought netboot is for) | 11:07 |
| auronandace | !mini | ne2k | 11:08 |
| ubottu | ne2k: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 11:08 |
| ne2k | ok. let me put it a different way. what is the best way to go about getting the exact same experience as the server install CD, but via netboot? | 11:09 |
| ne2k | via PXE booting, I should say. | 11:09 |
| fortunecookie | afaik, there is upxe booting too. so you can install linux via the internet | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | ne2k: the minimal iso installs using the web, you will need to boot from a USB or CD with the 30Mb ISO on it | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip | ne2k: then it will install packages from the repos rather than installing from local media. Is that what you mean? | 11:12 |
| ne2k | ActionParsnip: I must be expressing myself really badly | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | ne2k: if you boot the mini ISO you can install ubuntu server | 11:12 |
| ne2k | ActionParsnip: is that the same as what is in netboot.tar.gz? | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip | ne2k: never seen that file before, where is it from? | 11:13 |
| ne2k | http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ there's a mini.iso in there too | 11:14 |
| fahadash | netboot? sounds like an interesting thing | 11:14 |
| ne2k | ActionParsnip: I unpacked netboot.tar.gz on to my TFTP server, as per this doc http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-unattended-ubuntu-deployment-over-network-page-4-pxelinux/ | 11:14 |
| ActionParsnip | ne2k: yes, use the ISO and boot to that, configure your network in the installer and you can install the OS using the repos as a package source instead of using a local CD which will need updating once you rfirst boot | 11:14 |
| ActionParsnip | ne2k: oh you want to use PXE servers etc | 11:15 |
| ne2k | yes. well, I have one system installing from the netboot files at the moment. it seems to be downloading the base system on to my apt-cacher | 11:15 |
| === fahadash is now known as fahadash_awy | ||
| ne2k | I just wanted to make sure it wasn't going to install a desktop system by default | 11:18 |
| ActionParsnip | ne2k: it won't as you choose in the minimal, you can install any or even no DE in the mini ISO :) | 11:18 |
| theadmin | ne2k: All of the netinstall images allow to install any of the Ubuntu releases, or just a base system | 11:18 |
| ne2k | ActionParsnip: theadmin: I haven't been asked yet, it's just installing the base system | 11:18 |
| theadmin | ne2k: So, you can have Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu or Ubuntu Server, you get a menu to choose | 11:18 |
| theadmin | ne2k: Yeah the base installs first | 11:19 |
| ne2k | does that happen after the base system -- oh great | 11:19 |
| ne2k | thanks | 11:19 |

| lpapp | hi, can I get python 2.7 on my Ubuntu 10.04 somehow? | 11:24 |
| lpapp | it is having 2.6.5. I mean getting it from an official package. | 11:24 |
| lpapp | (I would not like to build such a big software myself) | 11:24 |
| auronandace | !backports | lpapp | 11:25 |
| ubottu | lpapp: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 11:25 |
| lpapp | auronandace: did not help. | 11:27 |
| auronandace | lpapp: then no | 11:27 |
| lpapp | still getting python 2.6.5 for apt-get update && apt-get install python | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | ne2k: it'll get there :) | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | lpapp: what is the output of: uname -a | 11:28 |
| lpapp | so python 2.7 is not supported on an LTS ubuntu ?? | 11:28 |
| auronandace | lpapp: not on 10.04 | 11:28 |
| lpapp | Linux Intraweb 2.6.32-51-generic-pae #113-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 21 20:02:16 UTC 2013 i686 GNU/Linux | 11:28 |
| lpapp | then why LTS ? :( | 11:28 |
| === lastwish_ is now known as lastwish | ||
| auronandace | lpapp: it is supported on 12.04 which is also lts | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | lpapp: so its a desktop system, with a mouse pointer and web browser? | 11:28 |
| auronandace | lpapp: you realise that 10.04 is now only supported on server | 11:29 |
| lpapp | ActionParsnip: no, it is server. | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | lpapp: then why is it the generic kernel and not the server kernel | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | lpapp: the server OS ships with a server kernel, the desktop OS ships with generic | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | lpapp: so I KNOW it is the desktop OS | 11:29 |
| lpapp | because people use the UI as well occasionally. | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | lpapp: its not supported on the desktop anymore | 11:30 |
| lpapp | anyway, 3 years old LTS ubuntu does not support python 2.7? :(( | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | lpapp: 10.04 is only supported on the server, I suggest you upgrade to 12.04 | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | lpapp: on the desktop, no | 11:30 |
| fortunecookie | grr, i am still using 10.04, a decent version | 11:31 |
| lpapp | that is a shame. | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | lpapp: nor will it ever, the only updates you will get will be the ones common between the desktop and server | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | lpapp: ALL OSes eventually die | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | lpapp: Win XP has about 240 days left | 11:31 |
| fortunecookie | what? xp was dead at 2007 | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | sorry 193 days | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | fortunecookie: thats the ultimate death day | 11:32 |
| auronandace | fortunecookie: perhaps you are thinking pre-sp3 | 11:32 |
| fortunecookie | umm, xp will be secure in a vm | 11:33 |

| kaddi | i really should get used to duckduckgo. it's the sauce.. Force of habit has me going back to google too often though >.< | 11:37 |
| lpapp | ActionParsnip: thanks anyway. We will try to update it in a sandbox, and then ship it. | 11:37 |
| theadmin | kaddi: Just reassign your search keyword ("g" I assume) to use duckduckgo | 11:37 |
| theadmin | kaddi: tada | 11:37 |
| kaddi | hehe | 11:37 |
| kaddi | ja | 11:37 |
| kaddi | yes | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | the bang functionality is amazing | 11:38 |
| Mattias | ActionParsnip: Does Duckduckgo save my search history? | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Mattias: it doesnt track you if thats what you mean | 11:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Mattias: it also doesnt bubble you | 11:39 |
| Mattias | ActionParsnip: hm... then I'd have to remember what I've searched for on different devices... | 11:39 |
| wessel | Am I disconnected? | 11:39 |
| theadmin | wessel: Maybe. | 11:39 |

| Tausen | Trying to install fglrx gives me "kernel includes at /lib/modules/3.8.0-30-generic/build/include not found or incomplete" - any idea how to continue? /lib/modules/3.8.0-30-generic/build/include exists and contains a bunch of symbolic links | 11:46 |
| Tausen | The next line in the log after the "not found or incomplete" is "file: /lib/modules/3.8.0-30-generic/build/include/linux/version.h" - this file does not exist | 11:47 |

| mohamedkidwani | hi all | 11:47 |
| Tausen | ActionParsnip: Where do I check? | 11:48 |
| wessel | I'm trying to apply the second fix (see link) but it won't let me uncheck the hardware acceleration box, http://askubuntu.com/questions/28952/consistent-flash-player-crash-only-on-youtube | 11:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Tausen: launchpad, or search the web for the error? | 11:48 |
| mrrcp | goood morning people! | 11:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Tausen: do you have the kernel headers installed? | 11:48 |
| theadmin | In general, does third-party software get uninstalled during a distribution (release) upgrade? To be more precise... Can I safely upgrade, without X breaking, if I have Bumblebee? | 11:49 |
| JoBArTe_Skuld | hi to all | 11:49 |
| Tausen | ActionParsnip: Yes, I do have kernel headers installed. I've been googling around and have found some similar problems with older kernel versions, they seemed to have fixed it by updating | 11:49 |
| theadmin | (I know 13.10 isn't released yet, just getting ready for when it is) | 11:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Tausen: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.8.0-30 | 11:49 |
| Tausen | ActionParsnip: "linux-headers-3.8.0-30 is already the newest version" | 11:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Tausen: sounds like a bug with that package then | 11:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Tausen: do you have version.h in your OS anywhere? | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Tausen: found this: http://slackblogs.blogspot.de/2012/12/linux-kernel-37-vmware-workstation-and.html | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Tausen: suggests a cheeky symlink :) | 11:51 |
| Tausen | ActionParsnip: Aww, thats too bad. Will look for version.h and check link, thank you | 11:52 |
| Tausen | ActionParsnip: Should I report it somewhere? I'm still just a noob :) | 11:52 |
| === dean|away is now known as dean | ||
| theadmin | Tausen: linux-headers-VERSIONHERE is not a real package. Real packages are named linux-headers-VERSIONHERE-FLAVORHERE. Try appending -generic to that and installing it. | 11:53 |
| theadmin | Tausen: Or -server or whichever flavor you are running. | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Tausen: run: ubuntu-bug linux-headers-3.8.0-30 | 11:53 |
| Tausen | theadmin: Tried generic too, got "linux-headers-3.8.0-30-generic is already the newest version" | 11:54 |

| alpha_ | How can I disable my ATI grapic card to use the intel ? | 11:54 |
| Tausen | ActionParsnip: Thanks! | 11:54 |
| theadmin | alpha_: Create a file called /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist_ati.conf and add two lines: "blacklist radeon" and "blacklist fglrx". | 11:55 |
| theadmin | alpha_: Also make sure you don't have a custom Xorg.conf using an ATI driver explicityl. | 11:55 |
| theadmin | Gosh I can't into typing today, explicitly. | 11:55 |
| BluesKaj | alpha_, usually in your bios , if one is a pci then choose it as default | 11:56 |
| theadmin | ...Or that, yeah. | 11:56 |
| alpha_ | BluesKaj : I have a laptop. HP 4540s | 11:56 |
| BluesKaj | ahh , 2 gpus ? | 11:57 |
| BluesKaj | optimus , alpha_ ? | 11:57 |
| alpha_ | Blue : what does optimus means ? | 11:58 |
| BluesKaj | ono ati in optimus , nm | 11:58 |
| alpha_ | mean* | 11:58 |
| theadmin | alpha_: It's a technology NVidia has. Basically two GPUs in one physical unit | 11:59 |
| theadmin | alpha_: ATI doesn't have Optimus cards (obviously), though | 11:59 |
| alpha_ | theadmin : yes yes its optimus .... ATI Radeon 7xxx | 12:00 |
| theadmin | alpha_: No, Optimus is an nVidia technology, AMD/ATI don't have that. There's just two GPUs in your laptop | 12:00 |
| theadmin | alpha_: That's normal dual graphics, can get rid of one of them by blacklisting the driver, see my messages above | 12:00 |
| alpha_ | theadmin : I mean , now i have 2 graphic card on my laptop 1.ATI 2.Intel | 12:00 |
| alpha_ | theadmin : Intel is my default graphic card | 12:01 |
| BluesKaj | alp yeah , the intel is onboard and the ATI is the "dedicated" hi power gpu for gaming etc | 12:03 |
| BluesKaj | oh well | 12:04 |
| rgupta | Someone used RDP to connect to my machine .. is there a way to find out from which ip address the connection originated? can someone help? | 12:04 |
| ActionParsnip | rgupta: what service are you running to allow RDP? | 12:04 |
| rgupta | ActionParsnip, desktop sharing and x11vnc | 12:06 |
| theadmin | rgupta: Uh... That's VNC, not RDP then. | 12:06 |
| ActionParsnip | rgupta: vnc is not rdp | 12:06 |
| ActionParsnip | rgupta: rdp is rdp, vnc is vnc | 12:06 |
| ActionParsnip | rgupta: there is a tonne of differences | 12:06 |
| ActionParsnip | rgupta: please tell me you are not port forwarding vnc from your router | 12:07 |
| rgupta | ActionParsnip, sorry for the mix up ... i am new to ubuntu ... but i still want to know if there is a way to find who was able to get access to my desktop | 12:07 |
| rgupta | ActionParsnip, no i am not | 12:08 |
| MrQuist | rgupta -> try logmein | 12:09 |
| ActionParsnip | rgupta: vnc works in windows too | 12:09 |
| MrQuist | www.logmein.com | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip | rgupta: so being new to ubuntu isnt a thing here, they are defacto standards | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip | rgupta: so only users on your LAN can access the VNC, nobody from outside can get in? | 12:10 |
| auronandace | MrQuist: he isn't lookinf for remote desktop solutions, he wants to know who connected to him | 12:10 |
| rgupta | ActionParsnip, yes | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip | rgupta: then run: last assuming they had to log in when they connect | 12:11 |
| ActionParsnip | rgupta: what do you use VNC to achieve may I ask, what is the purpose of the connection | 12:11 |
| MrQuist | oh sorry missed that question | 12:11 |
| rgupta | ActionParsnip, I used VNC just once because my client wanted to remotely do a setup on my system ... then it was disabled | 12:12 |
| ActionParsnip | rgupta: i'd check in the output of 'last' | 12:12 |
| rgupta | ActionParsnip, 'last' just shows myself as logged in | 12:13 |
| tenc | Are there any IRC clients which correctly integrate with message-indicator? | 12:13 |
| ActionParsnip | tenc: pidgin | 12:14 |
| faugusztin | tenc: xchat-gnome ? | 12:14 |
| === jack is now known as Guest62437 | ||
| tenc | xchat adds an entry but doesn't signal updates and it forgets whether or not it's open on suspend (not sure if that's message-indicator or xchat) | 12:15 |
| tenc | I'll try pidgin, thanks ActionParsnip. | 12:16 |
| swaagie | update-grub fails: grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of /cow, basically trying to update the config of grub to get the menu to show on boot, I need a one time nomodeset, what would be the path to take from here? install grub to /boot/efi again? | 12:16 |
| auronandace | tenc: when you say doesn't signal updates what do you mean? i use xchat and when someone messages me it turns blue (if i'm looking at a different app) | 12:17 |
| * ActionParsnip has been using Pidgin since forever :) | 12:17 | |
| tenc | @auronandace that's exactly what I mean... I don't get that behavior in unity 13.04/xchat 2.8.8. | 12:18 |
| tenc | Is that something that needs to be additionally configured? | 12:18 |
| auronandace | tenc: i use the normal xchat from the repos, i don't know if xchat-gnome does the same | 12:19 |
| rgupta | ActionParsnip, any other option? | 12:20 |
| auronandace | rgupta: what makes you so sure someone was in your machine remotely? | 12:21 |
| rgupta | auronandace, because my mouse went out of my control ... and on my eclipse some junk was being typed | 12:21 |
| ActionParsnip | rgupta: does the x11vnc service have a log file in /var/log ? | 12:22 |
| wessel | Can anyone make a suggestion for not making Firefox crash, often times it crashes on youtube videos? | 12:23 |
| Rory | wessel: Open it from a terminal and see if there's an error when it crashes | 12:24 |
| swaagie | agamad luv you escape key :) | 12:24 |
| rgupta | ActionParsnip, i dont see any x11vnc service log file in /var/log | 12:24 |
| swaagie | whoop whoop got ubuntu 13 working on a uefi system :) | 12:26 |
| swaagie | got that was a pain | 12:26 |
| swaagie | god* | 12:26 |
| ActionParsnip | rgupta: check its config file, see if logging is enabled | 12:26 |
| wessel | What do you do when your entire machine gets unresponsive, but numkey on keyboard can still change light from green to off ? | 12:27 |
| wessel | Alt + Ctrl + Del didn't work | 12:27 |
| Rory | wessel: Can you change to a different TTY with Ctrl+Alt+F5 | 12:27 |
| === Tausen_ is now known as Tausen | ||
| njsg | is there any way I can change the keymaps (including extended ones) that get loaded for the text consoles | 12:27 |
| ActionParsnip | wessel: does CTRL+ALT+F1 work? | 12:27 |
| njsg | that is, to automate what I'd do normally with loadkeys? | 12:27 |
| njsg | I'm growing tired of having a caps lock in the vlock terminal | 12:27 |
| Rory | njsg: You could put your loadkeys commands in .bashrc | 12:28 |
| njsg | Rory: that only works if you log in one of the terminals *and* you have permissions to do that | 12:28 |
| Rory | njsg: You should have permission to edit your own .bashrc | 12:28 |
| njsg | Rory: ... | 12:28 |
| njsg | Rory: but not always do I have permission to change the terminal keymap | 12:29 |
| njsg | some other distros have system-wide configuration files under /etc that will be used to invoke loadkeys, debian uses a generated keymap file that gets loaded, so you could effectively "compile" your own file | 12:29 |
| njsg | and this gets loaded during boot | 12:29 |
| Rory | njsg: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup | 12:29 |
| Oxymoron | Hi, I want to increase max size of a dynamicaly increasing vdi harddrive. It doesnt work with VboxManage modifyhd lol.vdi --resize MB_SIZE ... How do I? | 12:30 |
| Rory | Oxymoron: Please ask in #vbox this is the Ubuntu support channel | 12:31 |
| njsg__ | Rory: that does not ask anything about the keyboard layout | 12:32 |
| njsg__ | just font and charsets | 12:32 |
| rgupta | ActionParsnip, the logs are enabled but it was last updated on Sept 2nd | 12:32 |
| Oxymoron | Rory: I did, but no answer ... | 12:32 |
| Tausen | ActionParsnip: Just did some testing and found someone with the same issue on launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1185285 | 12:33 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 1185285 in fglrx-installer-updates (Ubuntu Saucy) "[saucy] fglrx fails to build against linux 3.9.0 (missing version.h)" [High,Fix released] | 12:33 |
| Rory | njsg__: Under Origin of the keyboard select the correct layout. | 12:33 |
| Rory | Oxymoron: You have to ask in the correct channel and wait for an answer | 12:33 |
| Oxymoron | Rory: It should be possible to resize a freaking vhd file in Ubuntu. | 12:33 |
| Rory | Oxymoron: ubuntu, Windows, whatever, it's a Virtualbox support question | 12:33 |
| Tausen | ActionParsnip: It is claimed that it was fixed in "fglrx-installer" - is this a package I'm supposed to be able to install? | 12:33 |
| Rory | Oxymoron: It might help if you expanded with more details: what Ubuntu version are you running, and what error do you get? | 12:34 |
| Oxymoron | Rory: Not really, vhd is standard file for Virtual hdds. | 12:34 |
| Tausen | ActionParsnip: I also tried the version.h symbolic link but that gives me a lot of "implicit decleration" errors, so I'm suspecting I'm using the wrong version.h file | 12:34 |
| auronandace | Oxymoron: they would more likely know better how to help you | 12:34 |
| Oxymoron | auronandace: Yes I know, just saying its not really a pure VB question. Anyhow, seem to get some action in vbox channel now. | 12:36 |
| Oxymoron | Rory: Also I run latest Ubuntu 13.10 I think it is, not errors or anything. | 12:36 |
| njsg | Rory: what "origin of the keyboard"? | 12:37 |
| Rory | !13.10 | Oxymoron I'll support you in #vbox | 12:37 |
| ubottu | Oxymoron I'll support you in #vbox: Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) will be the 19th release of Ubuntu. Announcement: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1252 - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 12:37 |
| ircsa | what's the lastest version | 12:43 |
| ircsa | i find the 12 lame | 12:44 |
| Pici | ircsa: The latest supported version is 13.04. | 12:44 |
| njsg | Rory: configuring console-common lets me choose *one* keymap | 12:44 |
| Pici | 13.10 will be releasing next month. | 12:44 |
| njsg | good but still not the whole thing :-| | 12:44 |
| ircsa | the 11 seems professional | 12:44 |
| Rory | ircsa: The latest version is 13.04, the latest Long-Term-Support version is 12.04 | 12:45 |
| ircsa | everthing works fine but this 12 and above | 12:45 |
| Pici | ircsa: neither 11.04 nor 11.10 are supported anymore. | 12:45 |
| ircsa | i can't even create a text file using left mouse click on 12 | 12:46 |
| njsg | the problem is that I use "loadkeys fi ctrl" (or "loadkeys fi ctrl.inc" depending on the implementation of loadkeys) | 12:46 |

| hudini | hello guys | 12:48 |
| hudini | i have a question | 12:48 |
| aokmanga | hi hudini | 12:48 |
| hudini | how to find all text files on my hard disk in linux ? | 12:48 |
| aokmanga | in linux or in ubuntu? | 12:48 |
| aokmanga | anyway try to search for *.txt | 12:48 |
| Rory | hudini: find / -type f -name '*.txt' | 12:48 |
| hudini | yes thanks :D | 12:49 |
| njsg__ | note that text files are usually extension-less in the UNIX world, .txt is more of a windows thing | 12:50 |
| reisio | Unix! | 12:50 |
| reisio | but for some reason they do awful things like 'README' in all caps | 12:50 |
| * reisio rolls eyes | 12:50 | |
| aokmanga | ahah :D | 12:50 |
| Rory | reisio: If you download a tarball with 40 files in, being able to easily find the README is a godsend. | 12:50 |
| Gentoo64 | its like its shouting at you | 12:51 |
| njsg | "they"? you are using ubuntu, and you say "they"... | 12:51 |
| reisio | it's like it's shouting at you and making it harder to cat | 12:51 |
| Rory | reisio: All-caps really sticks out in an ls listing, also INSTALL is usually named like that | 12:51 |
| reisio | they should make it a broken symlink, then | 12:51 |
| njsg | README, INSTALL, COPYING -- very important installation/distribution information are pretty much the only ones I see in all-caps | 12:51 |
| Gentoo64 | UPDATING | 12:51 |
| njsg | and with a good reason, you *want* to spot them from far away | 12:51 |
| hudini | what if i deleted a text file would it be possible to recover it ? and what kind of software do i need to do that | 12:51 |
| reisio | HARDERTOTYPE | 12:51 |
| aokmanga | someone has ubuntu on a mac? | 12:51 |
| reisio | hudini: is that a theoretical question? :p | 12:52 |
| reisio | aokmanga: someone, sure | 12:52 |
| njsg | reisio: just go for bash, you'll be maybe surprised to find it uses GNU readline, with the normal keybindings do meta+u (alt+u) and you'll see how hard it is | 12:52 |
| aokmanga | someone of the talking one at the moment :D | 12:52 |
| njsg | reisio: writing a name in caps for me is a matter of writing it, meta+b, meta+u, meta+f | 12:52 |
| reisio | njsg: hrmm? | 12:53 |
| Rory | hudini: It's not easy to recover deleted files or guarenteed, so I will go into it only if you need to | 12:54 |
| njsg | reisio: try it, fire GNU bash and try doing that with a word | 12:54 |
| njsg | hudini: with text files, hexdump should suffice, if it's not too big of a file | 12:54 |
| njsg | depends on the filesystem. just don't forget the golden rule of data recovery. back the filesystem up and work on the image | 12:54 |
| reisio | njsg: doing what? | 12:55 |
| hudini | Rory and reisio i think that i might have deleted a text file i need ,am not just asking random quesitions i need that file i know that i can recover files even if i formated my hard disk with and installed another operation system on it , i know that over-writing files is a bad idea (and then recover them) but i need any software name that can do that in linux (the recovery job) | 12:56 |
| Rory | hudini: You might not need to, what file did you delete, was it a system file? | 12:56 |
| Pici | !undelete | 12:57 |
| ubottu | Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 12:57 |
| hudini | no just a .txt file | 12:57 |
| reisio | hudini: well first you should stop making writes to the FS | 12:57 |
| reisio | hudini: then read ubottu's stuff | 12:57 |
| hudini | ok thanks .. i'll see what i can do.. | 12:57 |

| chrisTr87 | if someone is interested in, I found something about my problem: detection of usb devices at ubuntu :) | 13:29 |
| chrisTr87 | i mean how ubuntu detects them | 13:29 |
| chrisTr87 | I just have a last question. Does someone know how ubuntu detects that a device is connected? I mean if you connect an usb stick you get a message that its connected. There must be an event or something like this | 13:33 |
| chrisTr87 | if you can tell me a file which is important for it, I could check the source code on my own, but I dont know which file :) | 13:34 |
| ikonia | chrisTr87: it works from dbus and udev | 13:35 |
| chrisTr87 | so udevlib is the one i could need? | 13:36 |
| Richie086 | you mean like a log file? | 13:36 |
| ikonia | chrisTr87: what are you trying to do ? | 13:36 |
| chrisTr87 | I'm starting with my bachelor thesis which has to do with usb detection on ubuntu | 13:36 |
| chrisTr87 | maybe we will work with debian later but at the moment its on ubuntu | 13:37 |
| chrisTr87 | but its just a part of it | 13:37 |
| chrisTr87 | I need to understand how ubuntu detects usb devices | 13:37 |
| swaagie | how can I find out what is requiring me to set nomodeset for each boot even after installing the open source intel graphic drivers etc? | 13:38 |
| boneslash | Hi guys what a wonderful day :) | 13:38 |
| chrisTr87 | ikonia: you read?:) | 13:39 |
| ikonia | chrisTr87: I did | 13:39 |
| ikonia | chrisTr87: keep in mind the events come from the kernel | 13:39 |
| boneslash | I think you can't give me a help and because I have downloaded Ubuntu 13.10 and in this channel is only support for 13.04 and lower versions, such a shame :( xD | 13:39 |
| chrisTr87 | ikonia: i need to write a program which detects an usb stick and collects media files out of it | 13:40 |
| chrisTr87 | ikonia: then it should read the id3-tags and write them into a database | 13:40 |
| faugusztin | chrisTr87: you don't detect USB stick. you add a udev rule to handle insertion of that device, and that calls your program | 13:40 |
| ikonia | ok ? | 13:40 |
| chrisTr87 | thats the programming part of my thesis | 13:40 |
| chrisTr87 | yes :) thx | 13:41 |
| chrisTr87 | i think this could be interesting or not? http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/libudev/libudev-udev-monitor.html | 13:41 |
| cariveri | Is it possible to add one partitions space to another ones? | 13:41 |
| Rory | cariveri: You have to delete the rightmost partition and resize the other to fill the newly created free space | 13:41 |
| chrisTr87 | ikonia: maybe i will make a program for android, too | 13:42 |
| chrisTr87 | ikonia : with the same functions and then I need to make benchmark tests on a panda board | 13:42 |
| chrisTr87 | ikonia: with each system | 13:42 |
| cariveri | Rory: thanks. but its more like sda6(free),7(boot),8(/). can I add 6 to 8 ? | 13:43 |
| Rory | no cariveri | 13:43 |
| cariveri | Rory: no way to shift 7 and 8 ? | 13:44 |
| ActionParsnip | cariveri: or mount the partition to a folder in the other | 13:45 |
| cariveri | ActionParsnip: what do yo mean? I dont see how that would help | 13:45 |
| mackwerk | I need to run a script on an ec2 ubuntu instance on reboot but it has to wait for some processes to be available like s3cmd and postgres, what is the best way to do that? :o | 13:46 |

| ikonia | aquarat: tar ? | 13:47 |
| ikonia | aquarat: cpio ? | 13:47 |
| aquarat | I've tried tar but the device "shoeshines" | 13:47 |
| ActionParsnip | cariveri: you mount the file system to a folder and you see the data but the mount point also tells the kernel which partition to put the data on | 13:47 |
| ikonia | shoe shines | 13:47 |
| ikonia | ? | 13:47 |
| aquarat | yes, buffer underruns | 13:47 |
| aquarat | the source disk is fast enough to support the data rate | 13:47 |
| Rory | !upstart | mackwerk | 13:47 |
| ubottu | mackwerk: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 13:47 |
| Rory | mackwerk: You need to write an upstart script, and you can tell it to wait until other services have started | 13:48 |
| aquarat | I was thinking of maybe buffering the output to the tape drive in some way | 13:48 |
| aquarat | maybe using pv | 13:48 |
| ActionParsnip | cariveri: so you could mount a partition to ~/Pictures and when you put files in that folder it will go on the partition | 13:48 |
| chrisTr87 | faugusztin: thanks, I was searching for udev rules, I think this could help me, too :) | 13:48 |
| mackwerk | Rory, ah but ofcourse! Thanks, don't know why I didn't think about that myself. Can upstart start by itself on reboots? | 13:48 |
| Rory | mackwerk: Yes, upstart is how services are defined | 13:48 |
| Rory | mackwerk: It's the replacement for the old init scripts | 13:49 |
| chrisTr87 | faugusztin: I have to say that I just used ubuntu for programming at the moment. I don't have much knowledge of these things at the moment | 13:49 |
| cariveri | ActionParsnip: sounds like splitting the free space partition into several ones to mount them to folders, like /var, /usr . home is already outsourced that way. | 13:50 |
| ActionParsnip | cariveri: same deal, you can mount partitions as you wish | 13:51 |
| ActionParsnip | cariveri: just not in /proc :) | 13:51 |
| cariveri | ActionParsnip: did oyu mean something else before? | 13:51 |
| ActionParsnip | cariveri: then you dont need to put merge the partitions, just mount one as a folder and use it | 13:52 |
| cariveri | ActionParsnip: well its about resizing / partition which I planned too small it seems. | 13:53 |
| cariveri | ActionParsnip: Ihave got plenty of sorage for my data, but the filesystem has to use it. | 13:53 |
| ActionParsnip | cariveri: could boot liveCD and do stuff | 13:54 |
| cariveri | ActionParsnip: I am about todo so anyways. but would I get the system partition to use the new one. | 13:55 |
| ActionParsnip | cariveri: use in what way? | 13:55 |
| cariveri | ActionParsnip: in the way that I dont have to care. I could create a /var partition. but that does not guarantee that the filesystem has got enough when the next huge upgrade comes or so. | 13:57 |
| ActionParsnip | cariveri: how big is the partition? | 13:57 |

| Rory | StarFlower: How are you setting the username? | 14:21 |

| xen_ | i think i should remove it >_< | 15:01 |
| xen_ | and make my boot more informational | 15:02 |
| geneller2 | k11: yes, I created a new user from console and it works | 15:02 |
| swaagie | what is even more confusing is that I can put in a completely malformed xorg.conf (configuration fails due to too many screens vs found devices) and it will show up nicely... be it with vesa drivers probably as it is slow, still need nomodeset though | 15:02 |
| ASRU | geneller2: can you log into it??? | 15:02 |
| geneller2 | ASRU: the new user? yes | 15:03 |

| k1l | geneller2: as old-user you need to put you old-users nick in there | 15:11 |
| k1l | and you need the root rights. i guess you better log into a tty (with ctrl+alt+f1) and login as the old user and remove that new files from there. back to gui brings you crtl+alt+f7 | 15:12 |

| ActionParsnip | yeehi: why are you connecting to the remote system, what do you do once you connect to the desktop session? | 15:29 |
| geneller2 | ActionParsnip: yes I can run those commands, why? | 15:30 |
| ActionParsnip | geneller2: no the question is "do you" not "can you" | 15:30 |
| ActionParsnip | geneller2: in the past, have you used those commands on this install as your user? | 15:30 |
| miketeevee | can someone please help me with a fork() issue? in 10.04 LTS, a fork() does not copy all of the ram, but in 12.04.3 LTS it does copy all of the ram. how can i get back to 10.04 LTS behavior? i'm not doing any writes to the forked memory, so COW shouldn't apply | 15:30 |
| geneller2 | ActionParsnip: no, I haven't need to | 15:30 |
| ActionParsnip | geneller2: interesting, as those comamnds would do that | 15:31 |
| geneller2 | swaagie: hahaha, don't worry, but I still can't log in | 15:32 |
| ActionParsnip | geneller2: install xfce4 in the console and then log in to the XFCE session, is it ok? | 15:33 |

| jgornick | Hey guys, is there something out there that presents a user with a configuration screen or a status screen after an Ubuntu virtual appliance is booted? In my VM window, I would like to see a summary of system information, primarily network information. | 15:40 |
| ActionParsnip | k-joseph: howdy | 15:40 |

| Rory | geneller2: Try then jsut: unity --reset | 15:45 |
| geneller2 | Rory: the same error | 15:45 |
| Rory | geneller2: I think you still need to fix permissions in your home directory. Try the command: "sudo chown -R username:username /home/username/.*" | 15:47 |

| ASRU | tor says 9050 is open, and it is, put the process isn't running | 15:54 |
| ASRU | so it closes | 15:54 |
| ASRU | WTF? | 15:54 |
| jibreel | when i go fullscreen on an application(f11), i can't use the application switcher(alt-tab) it just doesn't show | 15:55 |
| geneller2 | I'm back, well now I'm from my old user account | 15:55 |
| ASRU | tor says 9050 is open, and it is, put the process isn't running | 15:55 |
| Rory | jibreel: What application? Firefox? F11 isn't a generic "fullscreen" command, only in Mozilla applications I think | 15:55 |
| erle- | if i use dpgk to install a newer version of an installed package, does it automatically update (i.e. deleting the old version and replacing) | 15:55 |
| ne2k | I've been installing 12.04.3 server on multiple servers using PXE booted netboot image. It's all working great, but for some reason, when they're finished, they come up with 3.2.0-53-generic kernel, rather than the 3.8 one that is installed when installing from the 12.04.3 CD. is this expected? | 15:55 |
| jhutchins | jibreel: Correct. That is the expected behavior. | 15:55 |
| geneller2 | but I have nothing to work with, to open firefox I create an script, typed "firefox" into it, gave it run permissions | 15:55 |
| ASRU | man pages for tor don't talk about that | 15:56 |
| geneller2 | but I can't do anything else | 15:56 |
| jibreel | jhutchins: realy ? why ? and can i change this ? | 15:56 |
| Vanfanel | Hello there! Is it possible to have two versions of the same package installed? When I do "apt-cache show libgbm-dev" I see TWO verions of the same package: http://pastebin.com/MPQGBx0A | 15:56 |
| Vanfanel | Are both versions installed? | 15:56 |
| Rory | Vanfanel: They'#re not both installed | 15:56 |
| jibreel | Rory: any application actualy | 15:56 |
| Rory | Vanfanel: They are both available, and the package is available from two different sources (in this case, the main repo, and X-SWAT PPA) | 15:57 |
| ASRU | nessus install help | 15:57 |
| jhutchins | Vanfanel: If you make part of the version number part of the package name (as far as dpkg knows) then yes, and if you install in seperate paths that works. | 15:57 |
| ne2k | Vanfanel: apt-cache doesn't show you what is installed, it shows you what is available from the package lists you currently have | 15:57 |
| Vanfanel | Then.. how can I install one of the packages? How can I chose? | 15:57 |
| tomc603 | I'm having a problem with indicator-messages: When I receive a new IM, the indicator icon does not turn blue. I have re-installed empathy, indicator-messages, and several of the lib dependencies I've found...but still nothing. | 15:58 |
| ne2k | Vanfanel: apt-get install <package-name> | 15:58 |
| jhutchins | jibreel: If you maximise the window, you can still switch, but fullscreen takes over the display and display manager. | 15:58 |
| tomc603 | I've also confirmed "empathy.desktop" is in my dconf settings for the indicator/messages config. | 15:58 |
| Vanfanel | aha, by the exact name.. right! thanks! | 15:58 |
| tomc603 | Any ideas where to look next? | 15:58 |
| ne2k | Vanfanel: well, not the version number, just the name | 15:58 |
| jibreel | jhutchins: ah i see, so there is no way around this ? | 15:58 |
| ne2k | Vanfanel: in this case, sudo apt-get install libgbm-dev | 15:59 |
| jibreel | jhattara: well this is kind of stupid | 15:59 |
| ActionParsnip | tomc603: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 15:59 |
| ne2k | Vanfanel: as far as I know, apt will automatically pick the one with the highest version number. I might be wrong about this -- perhaps someone else can chime in. If you want to deliberately install an old version, then you will need to get into hackery | 16:00 |
| Rory | Not too much hackery, you can do it with synaptic | 16:00 |
| tomc603 | ActionParsnip, I'm using 13.10 | 16:00 |
| ActionParsnip | tomc603: then it isnt supported here | 16:00 |
| ActionParsnip | tomc603: your support is in #ubuntu+1 | 16:00 |
| tomc603 | But I do not believe this is an issue related to 13.10, which is why I ask here | 16:00 |
| Rory | tomc603: Does the issue occur in 13.04? | 16:00 |
| ActionParsnip | tomc603: it is still in 13.10 which isnt supported here til release day | 16:01 |
| Vanfanel | ne2k: how can I know wich exact one do I have installed then? | 16:01 |
| ne2k | Vanfanel: dpkg -l |grep libgbm-dev | 16:01 |
| tomc603 | This is clearly an issue that impacts more than one version, as the number of un-answered questions on http://askubuntu.com/search?q=indicator-messages indicate | 16:02 |
| ActionParsnip | tomc603: its not supported here til release day. You are using Ubuntu 12.10 and 12.10 is not supported here until October | 16:02 |
| ne2k | someone's in a time warp | 16:03 |
| Rory | 13.10* | 16:03 |
| ne2k | if I install 12.04.3 server from CD, I get a 3.8 kernel. if I install it from netboot, I get a 3.2 kernel. any ideas why? is this normal? is there any point in upgrading, and if so, how does one do it? | 16:04 |
| ikonia_ | ne2k: net boot ? | 16:04 |
| ikonia_ | ne2k: netboot to what ? what repo ? what media ? | 16:04 |
| === GODDGO is now known as GODDOG | ||
| ne2k | ikonia_: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ | 16:05 |
| tomc603 | ne2k, I believe the netboot image hasn't been updated with the backported kernels, etc. | 16:05 |
| ikonia_ | ne2k: what are you netbooting against though ? | 16:05 |
| ActionParsnip | http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/linux-image-3.8.0-27-generic | 16:06 |
| ActionParsnip | weird | 16:06 |
| ikonia_ | ne2k: and the short answer is the available updates will be offered to you in the package manager, | 16:06 |
| g0d | is Ubuntu 13.04 just as customizable as Arch? | 16:06 |
| ne2k | ikonia_: what do you mean? I downloaded netboot.tar.gz from that directory, unzip it into a tftp server and boot it with PXE | 16:06 |
| eden_ | ctrl +a does not work in ubuntu 12.04 64 bit,it does not mark the text and it goes the cursor to the beginning of it. | 16:06 |
| ne2k | eden_: that's what Ctrl-A is supposed to do on Linux | 16:07 |
| tomc603 | ne2k, Once the OS is installed, do a "dist-upgrade" and you will get the back-ported packages | 16:07 |
| Psil0Cybin | Hey guys | 16:07 |
| tomc603 | Including the new kernel | 16:07 |
| Psil0Cybin | im trying to encrypt my home directory after already installing linux | 16:08 |
| Psil0Cybin | how can i go about doing this a fast quick way? perhaps | 16:08 |
| Psil0Cybin | im trying | 16:08 |
| eden_ | ne2k, no i am sure that i could mark all the text with ctrl+a | 16:08 |
| Psil0Cybin | sudo /usr/bin/ecryptfs-migrate-home -u psil0cybin | 16:08 |
| Psil0Cybin | but it keeps saying permission denied | 16:08 |
| eden_ | ne2k, i am also using debian and ctrl+a marks all the text | 16:09 |
| ne2k | tomc603: it doesn't. I did sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade; and it says 0 packages to upgrade | 16:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Psil0Cybin: is that your user which you are logged in as now? | 16:09 |
| Psil0Cybin | yes is that the problem | 16:09 |
| Psil0Cybin | i need to enable my root account and do it as root? | 16:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Psil0Cybin: sounds likely | 16:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Psil0Cybin: no | 16:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Psil0Cybin: reboot and hold SHIFT at boot | 16:09 |
| Psil0Cybin | okay | 16:09 |
| ActionParsnip | sparty: boot to root recovery mode and do it there | 16:09 |
| Psil0Cybin | writting this down :) | 16:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Psil0Cybin: ^ | 16:09 |
| geneller2 | thank you all, it seems like it's working now, I mean at least I can log in now and I'm running the unity --reset command to get it back finally, thank you so much :D | 16:10 |
| Psil0Cybin | so i just hold shift, and login as my username that i want to encrypt then | 16:10 |
| Psil0Cybin | run command? | 16:10 |
| prosys | Hello, how can I start an interactive shell script (using stdin) before starting X? Something like, during the boot process, pause the boot process to run the script (and receive user input) and then resume the boot process... | 16:10 |
| ActionParsnip | sparty: ahhh ah you the crazy guy with the YouTbe channel. Cup of Linux? | 16:10 |
| Rory | Psil0Cybin: One of the options will be "drop to a root shell prompt" | 16:10 |
| Psil0Cybin | okay perfect :0 | 16:10 |
| scavmartin | OK I have an issue with ubuntu and using rpmbuild (yes I know rpm on ubuntu) and it does not like the "noarch" architecture and I get "error: No compatible architectures found for build".

| reisio | prosys: what for | 16:10 |
| Jose3 | hi, I'm new here, but I was told this is where I could find help for Ubuntu? | 16:11 |

| Psil0Cybin | Rory or ActionParsnip once I encrypt my home directory, what is the best way to double check that it is encrypted (pop in a livecd and try to access my drive)? | 16:11 |

| Psil0Cybin | Thanks guys | 16:12 |
| Psil0Cybin | im going to do this now. | 16:12 |
| scavmartin | no need for paste bin as it was only two lines :) | 16:12 |
| Jose3 | So, I'm trying to run a command but its not working. It'll tell me "permission denied" and when I try to sudo it, it ells me "command not found" | 16:13 |
| eden_ | Where i can ask information about websites? | 16:13 |
| Rory | scavmartin: try using the --target=noarch argument to rpmbuild | 16:13 |
| scavmartin | Jose3: please run "which COMMAND" and "sudo which COMMAND" and provide output | 16:13 |
| Rory | What do you mean eden_ ? Do you have an Ubuntu support question? If so just ask it :) | 16:13 |
| Jose3 | alright | 16:13 |
| prosys | reisio: i need to ask the user for some info before starting lightdm and some software that needs that info to work | 16:13 |
| eden_ | Rory, i want to download a website page exactly as it is | 16:14 |
| Jose3 | scavmartin: In both cases I received no output | 16:14 |
| scavmartin | Jose3: what is the command, and it works without sudo? | 16:14 |
| Rory | eden_: try "wget -p -k http://example.com" | 16:15 |
| scavmartin | Jose3: What is the exact error you get when you run it without sudo and you get permission denied? | 16:15 |
| Jose3 | the command is the binary for a program I downloaded (used to tag texts for their synctactic values) | 16:15 |
| Jose3 | I cannot get it to work with or without sudo | 16:16 |
| Rory | Jose3: you need to use ./commandname not just commandname | 16:16 |
| Rory | !path | Jose3 or add it to your path | 16:16 |
| ubottu | Jose3 or add it to your path: path is The $PATH variable tells the shell where to look for the commands you tell it to run. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables#File-location_related_variables | 16:16 |

| Jose3 | Thanks for the help | 16:20 |
| Psil0Cybin | okay | 16:20 |
| Psil0Cybin | thats it? or something else after that | 16:20 |

| Psil0Cybin | lol | 16:26 |
| OerHeks | avnish, no. | 16:27 |
| Psil0Cybin | what kind of "hackers" | 16:27 |
| Psil0Cybin | ? | 16:27 |
| scavmartin | Jose3: "sudo chmod a+x tree-tagger" + "ls -lah tree-tagger" | 16:27 |
| avnish | ethical hacker | 16:27 |
| Psil0Cybin | look for a pentesting channel. | 16:27 |
| KI7MT | prosys, that a script issue then, it needs to be written so as to provide an interactive action | 16:27 |
| Psil0Cybin | maybe there is a #backtrack support channel somewhere. | 16:27 |
| Psil0Cybin | but i doubt it it would be flooded with kids trying to learn how to use aircrack ;) | 16:27 |
| NastyNaz | im looking for a folder with 'euphoria' somewhere in the name. how do i search for it from the terminal? | 16:28 |

| Jose3 | avnish: try "smash the stack" | 16:29 |
| avnish | is there any room pls tell me | 16:29 |
| scavmartin | Jose3: and the chmod does not error? If so it is defining basic reason as it is not adding the executable bit. | 16:29 |
| Psil0Cybin | avnish: you wont get anywhere, by keeping on asking. | 16:29 |
| Jose3 | scavmartin: it is not giving me any error | 16:29 |
| KI7MT | prosys, for example: [ exec 3<&0 \ read -u 3 -p "Choose Something : " input exec 3<&- ] | 16:29 |

| KI7MT | prosys, Don't use that example exactly, that is a simple example of a readline.\ | 16:32 |
| igor2 | i've a problem with my displaysettings | 16:32 |
| DopeSmoke | how would i download files from ubuntu on my local network to a windows machine on the same network | 16:32 |
| KI7MT | What you need is: | 16:33 |

| toxboi | Psil0Cybin: Logout your account, switch to console (Ctrl + Alt + F1), login as any sudo user, type in sudo -i to get root and run that command. | 16:33 |
| scavmartin | Psil0Cybin: mount -o remount,rw / | 16:33 |
| prosys | KI7MT: thank you | 16:33 |
| Psil0Cybin | thank you toxboi will try it now | 16:34 |
| igor2 | who could help me with a problem concerning display? | 16:34 |
| mathsz | hi everyone | 16:34 |
| Jose3 | hi | 16:34 |
| M4he | Hi, I set up an openbox standalone session on 13.04 with SLiM as dm. However, networkmanager and dropbox are still autostarting. Are there any other startup scripts that are automatically executed besides .xinitrc and openbox' autostart file? | 16:34 |
| scavmartin | Jose3: that is a NTFS formatted drive "/media/Files"; move\copy the directory and binary you want off of it, run the chmod command once on the unix FS and you should be all set | 16:34 |
| mathsz | I'm in trouble :( need some help | 16:35 |
| Psil0Cybin | what kind of help mathsz | 16:35 |
| eden_ | Rory, still no luck this is how i am getting the website | 16:35 |
| eden_ | Rory, http://imageupload.co.uk/files/6nozlwmidj506ogce69w.png | 16:35 |
| mathsz | psly0Cybin, tried renaming a user with usermod, logged as root | 16:36 |
| scavmartin | eden_: rory left "man wget" | 16:36 |
| mathsz | lost all files | 16:36 |
| mojtaba | Hi, Do you know how can I backup my windows system via network with my ubuntu system? I want to make a backup server. should I format the data hard drive NTFS? If so, will I need to defragment it later? | 16:36 |
| eden_ | scavmartin, yes this is what i am using | 16:36 |
| eden_ | scavmartin, i want to download a web page exactly as it looks | 16:36 |
| DopeSmoke | how would i download files from ubuntu on my local network to a windows machine on the same network | 16:37 |
| scavmartin | eden_: easiest way as I do not know the switches besides reading the wget page would be in firefox or chrome and save and select entire website | 16:37 |
| KI7MT | mathsz, what do you mean by lost, delete or can't find them ? | 16:38 |
| eden_ | scavmartin, no this doesn't work | 16:38 |
| toxboi | DopeSmoke: If you're running SSH on your Ubuntu box, simply use WinSCP on windows and transfer the files. | 16:38 |
| prosys | KI7MT: do i need to hide the splash screen (plymouth hide-splash)? | 16:39 |
| Psil0Cybin | toxboi: now i have even more problems it says i cannot proceed because stuff is mounted now that i logged out and clicked CTRL ALT F1 | 16:39 |
| Psil0Cybin | i was unable to login as root i had to login as my psil0cybin account | 16:39 |
| Psil0Cybin | how can i login as root if my root account is disabled? | 16:39 |
| chaotic_good | what mnin gigs for os partition in ubuntu? | 16:39 |
| chaotic_good | 4g? | 16:39 |
| Psil0Cybin | i ran the sudo -i command | 16:39 |
| mathsz | KI7MT : i used the usrmod command on a user and lost files. In terminal, If I log as root, I see the folder there | 16:40 |
| KI7MT | prosys, yes | 16:40 |
| Jose3 | scavmartin: I have moved it to a different drive but chmod is still not changing it. Let me try one more time on the linux partition I've got | 16:40 |
| KI7MT | mathsz, what usermod command did you run | 16:40 |
| Psil0Cybin | scavmartin: what did you mean by mount..i tried what toxboi said but it also did not work | 16:41 |
| toxboi | Psil0Cybin: can you paste that (please use pastebin) | 16:41 |
| Psil0Cybin | i cannot because its on another computer | 16:41 |
| Psil0Cybin | im using two laptops im in the CTRL+ALT+F1 console | 16:41 |
| mathsz | KI7MT usermod -l oldname newname, then, usermod -md oldname newname, this is where I screwed up | 16:41 |
| scavmartin | Psil0Cybin: that command I gave you will remount a read-only partition as read-write | 16:41 |
| Psil0Cybin | so what is the command | 16:41 |
| Psil0Cybin | and what is the command to turn it back to read-only how it was | 16:41 |
| toxboi | Psil0Cybin: ofcourse, what exactly does it say is mounted? | 16:41 |
| scavmartin | Psil0Cybin: "mount -o remount,rw PARTITION" where partition is "/" or "/home" or the like to revert change rw to ro | 16:42 |
| Psil0Cybin | so can i find out the partition using fdisk | 16:42 |
| Psil0Cybin | ? | 16:42 |
| Psil0Cybin | i have three /dev/sda1 * (Linux) /dev/sda2 (Extended) /dev/sda5 (swap) | 16:43 |
| KI7MT | mathsz, if the structre is still there, as well as the files, make a new user, cp the old to new, then chown -R new-user:newuser | 16:43 |
| scavmartin | Psil0Cybin: "df -h" will show you all partitions and mount points, u want the mount point for the command above | 16:43 |
| Psil0Cybin | or do i do | 16:43 |
| Psil0Cybin | mount -o remount,rw /home | 16:43 |
| Psil0Cybin | ? | 16:43 |
| Psil0Cybin | or is it | 16:44 |
| Jose3 | scavmartin: Thank you, the program is now running! Can I copy everything back to its original spot or would that interfere with its execution? | 16:44 |
| Psil0Cybin | mount -o rremount,rw sda1 | 16:44 |
| mathsz | KI7MT: how do I copy the folder? I only see it if logged as root, and when logged as root, it's the only thing I see with the ls command | 16:44 |
| scavmartin | Psil0Cybin: yes if "/home" is it's mount | 16:44 |
| mathsz | KI7MT:already have another user created | 16:44 |
| scavmartin | Jose3: I would not expect your app to run on a NTFS drive, so no you cannot copy back, you could try and get lucky though | 16:45 |
| scavmartin | Psil0Cybin: yes was to "mount -o remount,rw /home" | 16:45 |
| Jose3 | alright, I'll give it a quick go | 16:45 |
| KI7MT | mathsz, sudo cp /home/deleted-user /home/new-user && chown -R /home/new-user | 16:45 |
| Azoff | hello | 16:46 |
| daftykins | hi | 16:46 |
| Freeaqingme | Hi folks. I just had a full hdd, because some app created a 50Gib file. I deleted that file, but still df reports no space left on the device. Find does not find any files bigger than 50M, except for /proc/kcore (supposedly 128T) | 16:47 |
| mathsz | KI7MT, the home/deleted user does not exist anymore | 16:47 |
| Jose3 | scavmartin: you're right, it does not work. Thank you again for all the help, guess I'll just have to run it from its new home! | 16:47 |
| scavmartin | Jose3: In general NTFS and linux\unix is not a good mix, I would recommend formatting your drive with ext4 | 16:48 |
| mathsz | KI7MT, I only see it when logged as "root" and do the ls command | 16:48 |
| Azoff | I've got an old ASrock ION330HT running as a HTPC. Recently, I've started geting kernel panics when booting Ubuntu 12.04 when the power has been cut to it, for example when the powerplug has been removed from the wall-socket. When booting it when the power has been connected all the time since the last boot, it works as expected. | 16:48 |
| daftykins | Freeaqingme: what does the output of "df -h" show? any full partitions? | 16:48 |
| Jose3 | scavmartin: will that still give me compatibility with windows? (I dual-boot) | 16:48 |
| scavmartin | Jose3: Unfortunately no :( | 16:48 |
| Jose3 | =( | 16:48 |
| Azoff | I've digged a bit about the problem and have found that it's probably related to this upstream fix 9ef449c6b31bb6a8e6dedc24de475a3b8c79be20, but is there any kernel for 12.04 that got this changeset included? | 16:49 |
| === milessabin__ is now known as milessabin | ||
| Freeaqingme | daftykins, the relevant line is: /dev/mapper/nl2-root 49G 49G 0 100% / | 16:49 |
| Jose3 | alright, well, thank you for all your help anyways | 16:49 |
| KI7MT | mathsz, ok, do it as root then, root cp .. .. .. .. | 16:49 |
| Freeaqingme | and a few seconds ago I had a file that was 47Gib in size, but htat has been deleted daftykins | 16:49 |
| daftykins | Azoff: i have that exact system. (bluray drive model) running xbmcbuntu. not seen that before, are you fully updated? | 16:49 |
| Psil0Cybin | thank you scavmartin its doing it now | 16:50 |
| daftykins | Freeaqingme: odd! i'm not familiar with disk setups that come up as /dev/mapper i'm afraid | 16:50 |
| Psil0Cybin | so once its done im going to mount it back as ro | 16:50 |
| Azoff | daftykins: yes I am, got a BT version too at home. | 16:50 |
| scavmartin | Psil0Cybin: your welcome :) | 16:50 |
| Freeaqingme | daftykins, hmz, it's just a regular ubuntu install I guess | 16:50 |
| Psil0Cybin | it still is the same command right | 16:50 |
| Psil0Cybin | i mount it again even tho its mounted? | 16:50 |
| scavmartin | Psil0Cybin: well /home should never be mounted as ro | 16:50 |
| Psil0Cybin | to make it ro | 16:50 |
| Psil0Cybin | scavmartin: but it said it was readonly before? | 16:50 |
| Azoff | daftykins: from what I can tell, it only happens when the power has been remove completly to the box, probably ending up with garbage in the HW-buffer | 16:51 |
| scavmartin | Psil0Cybin: are you in a recovery shell or mode? yes the same command with ro will work | 16:51 |
| Psil0Cybin | i am in recovery shell | 16:51 |
| Psil0Cybin | yes | 16:51 |
| toxboi | Psil0Cybin: What runlevel are you in? Type runlevel | 16:51 |
| Psil0Cybin | toxboi: its already doing the ecryptfs | 16:51 |
| toxboi | Psil0Cybin: AH | 16:51 |
| Psil0Cybin | migrate home atm | 16:51 |
| toxboi | ok | 16:51 |
| daftykins | Azoff: are you running the latest BIOS? | 16:51 |
| scavmartin | Psil0Cybin: That is why, no need to remount as ro, I assume you are doing a disk check? Once done just exit recovery shell and you will be all set | 16:51 |
| mathsz | KI7MT, doesn't work. says : omittin directory | 16:51 |
| loa | Hello i am trying to make .desktop file with Icon absolute path, it is ok when it on desktop but when i move it to unity bar icon dissapears and i see standart icon for that application? What is wrong? | 16:51 |
| Psil0Cybin | doing a disk check? | 16:51 |
| Azoff | daftykins: I've been able to reproduce the issue about 10 times now by just removing the powerplug and wait for like 10 min. | 16:51 |
| Azoff | daftykins: let me check. | 16:51 |
| Freeaqingme | daftykins, a reboot it is then | 16:52 |
| Psil0Cybin | all i did so far was mount and run the ecryptfs-migrate-home command | 16:52 |
| Psil0Cybin | on my user | 16:52 |
| scavmartin | Psil0Cybin: Ok why are you in a recovery shell and working with your /home? | 16:52 |
| Psil0Cybin | am i good so far? | 16:52 |
| Psil0Cybin | because when i did CTRL+ALT+F1, it would only let me login as my user account | 16:52 |
| Azoff | daftykins: looking at the code, I'm possitive that the code is faulty however.. | 16:52 |
| Susning | Hi! Is there any way to disable the option to unmount a device from the user interface? I have 3 disks that I really don't want to be able to unmount by clicking the "unmount/eject-button".. Any ideas? | 16:52 |
| scavmartin | Psil0Cybin: ahh you are encrypting the dir | 16:52 |
| Psil0Cybin | why did i do something wrong by being in recovery shell | 16:52 |
| Psil0Cybin | your scaring me | 16:53 |
| Psil0Cybin | aha | 16:53 |
| Freeaqingme | daftykins, a reboot apparently cleared 45 Gib. tnx ;) | 16:53 |
| Psil0Cybin | so wait scavmartin after im done encrypting | 16:53 |
| Psil0Cybin | do i mount as ro | 16:53 |
| Psil0Cybin | or just restart | 16:53 |
| KI7MT | mathsz, need the /* on the end /home/user/* | 16:53 |
| Psil0Cybin | im a bit confused | 16:53 |
| FloodBot1 | Psil0Cybin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 16:53 |
| llutz | mathsz: use "cp -a ...." | 16:54 |
| scavmartin | Psil0Cybin: I actually have never done the encryption of home myself looking at it now - http://www.howtogeek.com/116032/how-to-encrypt-your-home-folder-after-installing-ubuntu/ | 16:54 |
| toxboi | Psil0Cybin: Don't use short sentences. You'll piss off FloodBot1 :) | 16:54 |
| Azoff | daftykins: I'm one bios version behind (got 1.10), don't think an update would help, but I'll give it a try | 16:54 |
| gerlos | Susning: you could add your devices in /etc/fstab, whitout the option "user", so system will mount them on boot, and users won't be able to umount them. There's a lot of docs about /etc/fstab on the Net | 16:55 |
| Susning | gerlos, that was my thought as well, doing something like that. | 16:55 |
| Susning | gerlos, they are already all in fstab so that would only be adding/changing some options, right? | 16:55 |
| scavmartin | Psil0Cybin: from what I read you do not need to be in recovery mode. I believe you should have just booted normally ran that command (it would have worked as /home would be rw on a normal boot) and proceed from there. IE booting into a recovery shell seems to have been your initial mistake but from what I read you should be all set. | 16:56 |
| mathsz | KI7MT: so, sudo cp -a aosp1 /home/newuser* && chown -R /home/newuser seems to be working | 16:56 |
| gerlos | Susning: right. Fundamentally, you need to remove the option that let normal users mount/umount the device. | 16:56 |
| Susning | gerlos the only option now is "defaults" | 16:57 |
| KI7MT | mathsz, ok do this for me: sudo apt-get install pastebinit %% ls -al /home | pastebinit then post that link | 16:57 |
| Susning | does that mean i need to add each option one and one, since i'm not going to have it on defaults any more? | 16:57 |
| gerlos | Susning: good. It should do "the right thing" ;-) | 16:57 |
| Susning | gerlos - but it was already defaults. and i was able to unmount it as user. | 16:57 |
| Psil0Cybin | okay so just to double check oneeee last time because im super cautious :-) I Do not run any commands after the encryption process is complete, I just restart? Or is the mount command to turn the system back to RO, Still Necessary to ensure i do not cause problems later? Sorry I know im going around with circles just want to be double sure, so i can dust my hands off in relaxation. | 16:57 |
| KI7MT | mathsz, sudo apt-get install pastebinit && ls -al /home | pastebinit | 16:57 |
| Psil0Cybin | scavmartin: | 16:58 |
| gerlos | Susning: can I see you /etc/fstab? | 16:58 |
| Susning | gerlos - of course. wait | 16:58 |
| scavmartin | Psil0Cybin: I would run the test commands in the articly I provided once done, and then yes you can reboot and no need to switch back to ro | 16:58 |
| Psil0Cybin | okay im going to read the article now | 16:59 |
| mathsz | KI7MT: can't for now, it's "busy" | 16:59 |
| Susning | gerlos, http://pastebin.com/M2JfzVDq sorry for the high amount of tabs. it's for me being able to see them all aligned in even rows | 16:59 |
| Susning | gerlos, actually i don't want any of those to be unmountable for user. | 17:00 |
| loa | Hello i am trying to change icon of application on unity dock but it always showed as chrome icon here is screenshot http://s009.radikal.ru/i310/1309/5c/cb22e00cb2f0.png and code of application launcher http://pastebin.com/eGUreUP1 | 17:00 |
| loa | what i am doing wrong? | 17:00 |
| KI7MT | mathsz, cp -avr was probably better say to go, then chown -R /home/new-user .. but if your getting it done now, no need to pastebinit | 17:00 |
| Azoff | daftykins: flashed with the latest bios and awaiting the power to be completly off | 17:01 |
| mathsz | KI7MT excuse my noobiness, again. when it is done copying, the other user should have access to the files, right? | 17:01 |
| gerlos | Susning: sorry? I didn't understand your needs. I thought you wanted to make those mounts "permanent", so users can't umount them... | 17:01 |
| daftykins | Azoff: ok | 17:01 |
| Susning | yes, that is my needs gerlos | 17:01 |
| Susning | but now, my user CAN unmount them, from the user interface. that can cause major fuckups since i have symlinks and other stuff that gets messy if those disks get unmounted. | 17:02 |
| KI7MT | mathsz, you need to give ownership with chown -R, then the new-user should see them. | 17:02 |
| === Fyodorovna is now known as wilee-nilee | ||
| Susning | gerlos Mainly it is the Dropbox-disk that first of all holds my Dropbox-folder, but also is symlinked as my Documents folder etc.. So I really want to disable the possibility to unmount that particular drive. And if possible, Storage, 1080p and 720p as well. | 17:03 |
| Psil0Cybin | scavmartin: Thanks for the guide, I am going to run all those commands once it is done. What does it mean I must login immediately before the next reboot to complete the migration, if thats the case...and im in root shell, what would i do/ | 17:03 |
| Psil0Cybin | ? | 17:03 |
| Psil0Cybin | lol encrypting 500gbs sure is taking a while. | 17:04 |
| gerlos | Susnig: "defaults" should be enough to avoid normal users to mount/umount a disk | 17:05 |
| wilee-nilee | /ignore Psil0Cybin | 17:06 |

| gerlos | Susning: try to add "nouser" option, replacing "defaults" with "defaults,nouser" | 17:08 |
| Susning | gerlos - maybe my problem is that the system ALSO mounts the same folder to /media/Dropbox - which i actually don't want. | 17:08 |
| Susning | It is if I unmount /media/Dropbox the mount to /home/marcus/Dropbox falls as well | 17:08 |
| gerlos | Susning: maybe. Put those permanent mount points under the standard path: /mnt/ | 17:09 |
| Susning | gerlos so i suppose the disk is automounted, even when i already have mounted it. | 17:09 |
| KI7MT | bunt, no, your not, dont panic, you can use resume to reset root PW | 17:09 |
| KI7MT | if needed | 17:09 |
| Psil0Cybin | toxboi: like it says i must login immediately before the next reboot, but im in the recovery shell, so how am I able to do that | 17:09 |

| bunt | KI7MT: not sure what happened.... i just set it up following this -> http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=13076 --- i thought it would only lock grub2 entries against editing but it doesnt boot the system at all | 17:15 |
| Susning | gerlos - thanks, this already looks much cleaner. | 17:15 |
| Susning | gerlos - after adding them to /mnt/ instead they all disapeared from "Devices" in the user interface which was even better then i expected. Since I have symlincs for them all on other places it was just messy having them there. I would be happy if i just got rid of the "unmount button", this is even better :D | 17:16 |
| bunt | KI7MT: any ideas?.... | 17:16 |
| gerlos | Susning: did you try to logout and login again in the system, to see if those "unmount buttons" are still there? | 17:18 |
| KI7MT | bunt, reinstall grub2 from LiveCD, and dont PW protest grub :-) .. : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing | 17:18 |

| Susning | gerlos - it's no longer a problem since those devices are no longer showing up as separate devices - just as I want it. So as said, even better then before. | 17:25 |
| Susning | I will reboot and see how it acts as soon as my Dropbox folder have synced... | 17:25 |
| gerlos | Susning: good | 17:26 |
| xteam | hi | 17:26 |
| Susning | gerlos it was kind of annoying before since i have like... 6 disks, which of 2 are partitions on them.. all where listed before this, which was really not needed since that's not how i browse them. | 17:27 |
| Susning | :) | 17:27 |
| gerlos | Susning: actually, you shouldn't need to reboot. Just logout and login again should be enough (and faster!) | 17:27 |
| Susning | gerlos, i've done "mount -a" and at least that looks good. no errors, and everything turns up as i want. | 17:27 |
| gerlos | Susning: same situation here. 3 disks, one for the system, one for data and one for backups. Put them in fstab with standard mount points, and forgot of them, since they just work ;-) | 17:28 |
| Susning | gerlos - by the way, should the windows system show up as two devices/disks? | 17:29 |
| Susning | gerlos - there is one called "Windows", and one called "System Reserved". | 17:29 |
| gerlos | Susning: sorry don't understand your question - maybe a screenshot may help | 17:30 |
| llutz | Susning: it's normal, ~100MB system-reserved/bootpartition + xxGB windows systempartition | 17:31 |
| Susning | gerlos http://imgur.com/9ZnRqxr | 17:31 |
| Susning | aah, thanks llutz. | 17:31 |
| Susning | the small one seems to be boot related | 17:31 |
| faugusztin | Susning: the small 100MB one is a recovery thingy | 17:32 |
| sandthd | can I install ubuntu to and boot from an usb3 hard drive? | 17:32 |
| Susning | faugusztin, maybe from when i repaired the boot-thingie after moving windows from one disk to another.. | 17:33 |
| llutz | Susning: that 100MB bootpartition is created by windows at installation time if you don't install it into an already existing partition. it holds boot-stuff | 17:33 |
| llutz | Susning: its nothing wrong with it, just don't touch it :) | 17:34 |
| Susning | llutz, ok. so it shouldnt be touched then if i understand you correctly ;) | 17:34 |
| Susning | :) | 17:35 |
| Psil0Cybin | toxboi: can i do that if im in the recovery shell, i dont think so | 17:37 |
| Psil0Cybin | so i think i made a big big big mistake | 17:37 |
| Psil0Cybin | or will CTRL + ALT + F1 work for the recovery shell too | 17:37 |
| Psil0Cybin | i was thinking id have to type like logout | 17:37 |
| Psil0Cybin | then log back in and then try startxfce4? but i doubt that will work in recovery shell. | 17:38 |

| DJones | kenshiro: No its not, releases will continue every 6 months, LTS every 2 years and support for normal releases will only be for 9 months | 17:56 |
| k1l | rb-tnc: which ubuntu is that exactly? and why did you use/install nemo? | 17:56 |
| DJones | kenshiro: LTS will be supported for 5 years | 17:57 |
| kenshiro | DJones I understand, thank you :-) | 17:57 |
| rb-tnc | k1l: 3.6.3 because nemo has options nautilus dont, u cant access setting in nautilus when run as root and it has other options dont require installing addon packages | 17:58 |
| rb-tnc | k1l: I did like nautilus until the last update | 17:58 |
| k1l | rb-tnc: well, if you use 3rd party packages/programs please seek their support | 17:58 |

| jpds_ | quantumpants_: g++ and gdb. | 17:59 |

| KI7MT | quantumpants_, Info: http://gcc.gnu.org/ | 18:00 |
| rb-tnc | k1l: i never removed it, i installed nemo to try and just avoid the issue but that also crashes under the same conditions | 18:01 |
| polter | moorvogi: I think most IDE's on Linux uses GCC/G++ but let's you specify another if needed | 18:01 |
| k1l | rb-tnc: which ubuntu is that exactly? what did you do /install/remove before that happened? what did cause that segfaults? | 18:01 |

| quantumpants_ | thanks for your help guys | 18:03 |
| rb-tnc | k1l: if i knew what has been causing it I wouldnt be asking for help ;) | 18:03 |
| KI7MT | GarrettKajmowicz, you probably can't until you fix the reason you got dumped in the first place. | 18:03 |
| rb-tnc | k1l: I want to say the issue started after the distro upgrade 13.04.01 but I am not sure | 18:04 |
| GarrettKajmowicz | KI7MT: I don't know why it's dumping. If I boot my old kernel image, it boots up fine. If I boot the new kernel images, I get dumped to the busybox shell. | 18:04 |
| GarrettKajmowicz | KI7MT: Any suggestions on how to debug this? | 18:05 |
| quantumpants_ | guys i cant download g++, im running 12.04. any ideas on how i can get round it? or any other ideas?

| KI7MT | GarrettKajmowicz, ahh .. ok, that could be all sorts of things then, but look through dmesg for kernel driver issues, modprobe issues things of that sort, it most likely (this is a guess) that a driver or module is causing you problems. | 18:08 |

| Psil0Cybin | do you think that is fine to leave like that? | 18:20 |
| saiarcot895 | dougbb: compose window seems to be fine | 18:20 |
| Psil0Cybin | or do i have to mount it as mo? | 18:20 |
| Psil0Cybin | ro** | 18:20 |
| Rory | Psil0Cybin: mine says: drwxr-xr-x 61 root root 4.0K Sep 10 15:57 . | 18:20 |
| ikonia | Psil0Cybin: it has to be read-write | 18:20 |
| Psil0Cybin | okay | 18:20 |
| Psil0Cybin | so thats fine | 18:20 |
| ikonia | Psil0Cybin: why are you encypting it ? is your data really "that" private | 18:20 |
| Psil0Cybin | that i mount /home as rw | 18:20 |
| dougbb | saiarcot895: interesting | 18:20 |
| Psil0Cybin | ikonia: nope but i like the idea of keeping things private. | 18:20 |
| ikonia | Psil0Cybin: it has to be mounted read/write - what's more important is the permissions | 18:20 |
| jjavaholic | is there a game like terraria that I can play in ubuntu? | 18:21 |
| ikonia | Psil0Cybin: you'll find more problems with encyption | 18:21 |
| Psil0Cybin | well so far, my system "was not" encrypted | 18:21 |
| saiarcot895 | dougbb: I'm guessing its profile needs to be deleted and recreated from scratch due to version incompatibilities | 18:21 |
| zykotick9 | Psil0Cybin: ubuntu's (and debian's) default for home dirs of drwxr-xr-x is rather unusual. many other distros aren't so open by default... | 18:21 |
| Psil0Cybin | but now it looks like it is without a problem | 18:21 |
| trism | rb-tnc: you don't have the gnome ppa do you? because nautilus-dropbox is crashing in a similar manner with nautilus 3.8, bug 1193522 | 18:21 |

| dougbb | ikonia, there is nothing wrong with encryption :) | 18:21 |
| ikonia | Psil0Cybin: what do you mean "it is" | 18:21 |
| ikonia | Psil0Cybin: have you configured encyption on it, yes or now ? | 18:21 |
| ikonia | no | 18:21 |
| rb-tnc | lix: unfortunatly thats not the same bug ;( | 18:21 |
| Psil0Cybin | yes | 18:21 |
| lix | dougbb: upgraded tbird yesterday and it works fine for me. did you upgrade the plugins as well? | 18:21 |
| rb-tnc | trism: no i dont | 18:21 |
| ikonia | Psil0Cybin: how did you encypt it ? | 18:21 |
| dougbb | saiarcot895: yeah, that is what I was afraid of :-/ | 18:21 |
| dougbb | lix: yes | 18:22 |
| Psil0Cybin | i ran ecryptfs-migrate-home -u psil0cybin (my username) | 18:22 |
| Psil0Cybin | what happend was it said i could not write to a file | 18:22 |
| KI7MT | GarrettKajmowicz, or a kernel parameter that's being passed which is causing an issue, like rootdelay=90 | 18:22 |
| Psil0Cybin | so someone told me to mount /home as rw | 18:22 |
| Psil0Cybin | and i did that and it worked | 18:22 |
| ikonia | Psil0Cybin: well, good luck with that then, I suspect you'll hit a problem in approx 30 days. | 18:22 |
| Psil0Cybin | why is that ikonia | 18:22 |
| Psil0Cybin | ? | 18:22 |
| rb-tnc | trism: and i have tried removing all traces of db to solve the issue because i read a bunch of bugs involving db extensions | 18:22 |
| Psil0Cybin | do please explain because everything seems perfectly fine atn. | 18:22 |
| Psil0Cybin | atm* | 18:22 |
| GarrettKajmowicz | KI7MT: I have a non-GUI server install which I've upgraded many times. Apparently the LTSP package is used for thin client setups, which is why I said I wasn't running it. I also checked to see if I had it installed, and I don't. | 18:22 |
| Rory | Psil0Cybin: It's based just off experience with people's problems in this channel. Encrypted home directories seem to cause problems | 18:23 |
| ikonia | Psil0Cybin: because encyption is not as straight forward as it seems and new users/inexperienced users seem to hit a problem within a month that causes them to either lose their data or be locked out of it and lose it for ever | 18:23 |
| maxforthewin | hey everybody is there how kows about squid proxy with webmin | 18:23 |
| maxforthewin | ? | 18:23 |
| Rory | !webmin | maxforthewin | 18:23 |
| ubottu | maxforthewin: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 18:23 |
| ikonia | maxforthewin: webmin is not supported on ubuntu | 18:23 |
| Psil0Cybin | ikonia: w2hat ever i might as well learn now its not like its my school computer. | 18:23 |
| dougbb | Psil0Cybin: FWIW, I have had very good look with truecrypt, fwiw | 18:23 |
| ikonia | Psil0Cybin: as I said "good luck" then | 18:23 |
| tasse | Hi, I just configured a FTP server with proftp. Everything seems to work fine but whenever I login I don't see any files (the files in the directory are owned by the user that is logging in). The proftp log files dont help me at all (no errors or anything) | 18:23 |
| GarrettKajmowicz | KI7MT: I've tried passing in rootdelay=15 and the system booted within 2 seconds. | 18:23 |
| Rory | Psil0Cybin: Make sure you have backups, then absolutely play with encryption | 18:23 |
| Psil0Cybin | oh man everyones scaring me :P | 18:24 |
| Psil0Cybin | aha | 18:24 |
| KI7MT | GarrettKajmowicz, so the upgrade is a server lts to lts .. ok. | 18:24 |
| maxforthewin | i have installed it but i don't know how to configure my server is there anybody how could help me ouver teamviewer ? that would be great ? :) | 18:24 |
| ikonia | tasse: I suspect it's logging you into FTP root, rather than the real file system you expect | 18:24 |
| GarrettKajmowicz | KI7MT: Right. Given that it's my home email server/web proxy/etc., I prefer to minimize the number of times I change distros. It takes time and causes angst. :-) | 18:24 |
| ikonia | maxforthewin: webmin is not supported on ubuntu, | 18:24 |
| Psil0Cybin | so you guys think im fine with my home permissions? How can i quickly check what permissions my home folder are, so i can check if it is the same as you guys. | 18:24 |
| ikonia | Psil0Cybin: it shouldn't be the "same as us" | 18:25 |
| tasse | but the log files tell me that it is chrooting to the correct directory | 18:25 |
| ikonia | Psil0Cybin: it should be what you want/need to make your system ru | 18:25 |
| ikonia | run | 18:25 |
| KI7MT | GarrettKajmowicz, nailing this down not gonna me quick / easy,. it's module, driver or parameter, none-of-which are easily nailed in busybox | 18:25 |
| Rory | Psil0Cybin: If it's working, and it's as secure as you require, then it's good. | 18:25 |
| GarrettKajmowicz | KI7MT: I first started trying to diagnose this in July. I know about Not Quick. :-) | 18:25 |
| KI7MT | LOL | 18:26 |
| GarrettKajmowicz | I'll take any help I can get. | 18:26 |
| Psil0Cybin | yes but if my home directory is encrypted, but its read/write, does that mean that only other user accounts can change the files? | 18:26 |
| tasse | is there any possibility to check in which directory the user is ikonia ? (except for the logs?) | 18:26 |
| Psil0Cybin | rory: i just want to make sure that no one else but me can see my home directory | 18:26 |
| Psil0Cybin | or add files into it etc. | 18:26 |
| KI7MT | GarrettKajmowicz, to be honest, the best route is probably going into ubuntu-dev / kernel or server .. ubuntu-dev and kernel gurus are all over this stuff. | 18:27 |
| ikonia | Psil0Cybin: so make the permisson 700 then | 18:27 |
| ikonia | Psil0Cybin: or rwx-- | 18:27 |
| maxforthewin | is there anybody who can help me you could write me an email maximilan.grossmann@t-online.de and I give you the passwort and the id for teamviewer | 18:27 |
| ikonia | maxforthewin: stop asking | 18:27 |
| Psil0Cybin | ikonia: sorry im kind of new i would run the command chmod /home 700 ? | 18:27 |
| ikonia | maxforthewin: webmin is NOT supported | 18:27 |
| Psil0Cybin | how can i check what the permission is | 18:27 |
| ikonia | Psil0Cybin: no, thats the home directory, not YOUR home directory | 18:27 |
| Psil0Cybin | atm | 18:27 |
| Pici | maxforthewin: we don't provide remote support here period. | 18:27 |
| Psil0Cybin | so | 18:27 |
| Psil0Cybin | chmod /home/psil0cybin 700 | 18:27 |
| Psil0Cybin | ? | 18:27 |
| maxforthewin | but I don't know how to do it in a other way | 18:27 |
| ikonia | Psil0Cybin: you really are running before waling looking at encyption before basic permissions | 18:27 |
| ikonia | Psil0Cybin: sudo chmod -R 700 /home/psil0cybin | 18:28 |
| Psil0Cybin | yea probably am :( | 18:28 |
| Psil0Cybin | okay last question ikonia and ill leave you alone, how can i check the permissions of a folder | 18:28 |
| Psil0Cybin | before i change anything | 18:28 |
| ikonia | Psil0Cybin: open it in the file manager and right click on it | 18:28 |
| ikonia | Psil0Cybin: it's in the properties menu | 18:28 |

| dougbb | Psil0Cybin: ls -ld <foldername> | 18:29 |
| Psil0Cybin | ikonia: if i am not wrong it looks like only I can edit my home folder or view it | 18:30 |
| Psil0Cybin | and only I can read and write to it | 18:30 |
| Psil0Cybin | correct? | 18:30 |
| Psil0Cybin | if others could, it would be selected in others correct? | 18:30 |

| Psil0Cybin | okay so i guess i can just leave it as is, if i want it to only be accessible to me. | 18:31 |

| chaotic_good | ? | 18:32 |
| Pici | GeekDude: you're likely not running a window manager. | 18:32 |
| ikonia | chaotic_good: why are you using JFS, it's pretty dead in the real world | 18:32 |
| GeekDude | Pici: I don't understand. "Window manager"? | 18:33 |
| Bower^ | are the any common fixes for getting a display when booting up from HDD/LiveCD besides enabling "nomodeset"? | 18:33 |
| Pici | GeekDude: is a program than manages windows, otherwise your programs will just show up on the root display and you won't be able to move or minimize/maximize them. Compiz and metacity are both popular window managers. | 18:34 |

| quantumpants | Bekks, I tryed that and I didnt seem to work. pici im running 12.04. | 18:38 |

| liquiz | hi all | 18:39 |
| bekks | quantumpants: What happens exactly, whats the exact error message? | 18:39 |
| GeekDude | Pici: You're suggesting I install Compiz and use it in conjunction with XMing, or should I just use VNC and forget about X | 18:39 |
| delinquentme | ikonia, theres like a million options | 18:39 |
| quantumpants | Pici. hold on ill get it now | 18:39 |
| Pici | GeekDude: I'd personally use metacity. I was just giving examples of what a window manager was. | 18:40 |

| eer | bekks, Pici not both don't show it. They only show GeForece 7400GT | 18:42 |
| ikonia | delinquentme: the man page is there for a reason - checking for the port option on how to use it is a simple/basic first point of call | 18:42 |
| quantumpants | As you can tell guys im very new to all things computers | 18:42 |

| dougbb | ikonia, that's not a very helpful response ... if you're not interested in actually helping people, maybe you should not say anything at all | 19:02 |
| ikonia_ | dougbb: how is that not helpful ? | 19:02 |
| dougbb | mojtaba: do you have a specific backup system in mind, or are you starting completely from scratch? | 19:02 |
| Guest92740 | Is possible to install unity in ubuntu 12.10 remix? How can i do? | 19:02 |
| mojtaba | dougbb: I am starting from scratch | 19:03 |

| Pici | quantumpants: The repository mirror you are using is out of date, pick a different one. | 19:03 |
| quantumpants | Pici, I would if i knew how, hold on while i read up on it | 19:04 |
| dougbb | mojtaba: Ok, what kind of backups do you want? Do you want to simply keep a live copy of the existing files, or do you want to take periodic snapshots of the files so that you can go back and get older versions of the documents/ | 19:04 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest92740, If you want the remix you will have to download the iso and install, it is just the gnome-shell by itself, which is installable in a unity setuo, you just have unity still. | 19:04 |
| dougbb | mojtaba: also, how much data are we talking about? | 19:05 |
| KI7MT | Ig you have Rmix already, just add ubuntu-desktop then you have both, Gnome and Untiy | 19:05 |
| polter | Guest92740: to install Unity you could either use the software center, another graphical package manager, och do " sudo apt-get install unity" in a terminal window | 19:06 |
| mojtaba | dougbb: I would like to simply keep a live copy or maybe scheduled copy of the data. I have 3 machines running windows servers and the data is about > 2TB | 19:06 |
| bekks | mojtaba: Setup a bacula server. | 19:06 |
| wilee-nilee | heh I read that backwards, doh | 19:07 |
| bekks | mojtaba: Its not that "Gimme ten minutes" thing - instead, you will take a few days until you have it up and running. | 19:07 |
| wilee-nilee | polter, It would be the ubuntu desktop is al | 19:07 |
| bekks | mojtaba: And depending on your needs, opensource source software will not suffice. | 19:08 |
| mojtaba | bekks: Why? Do you have an example in mind? | 19:08 |
| dougbb | mojtaba, bekks: yeah, bacula is probably the right solution for a project that size, and bekks is right about the learning curve, but that's going to be true no matter what system you choose | 19:08 |
| bekks | mojtaba: AD backups, backups of running MSSQL databases, etc. | 19:09 |
| === ceed^6 is now known as ceed^ | ||

| mojtaba | bekks: I see, then bacula is the best one? | 19:10 |
| eer | I have this video card but how can I find out what the max screen resolution is for it? MSI NX7600GT-VT2D256E Geforce 7600GT | 19:10 |
| KI7MT | Bacula, Amanda, Enterprise Linux, all good / robust solutions, but as bekks said, takes time to implement them. | 19:10 |
| bekks | mojtaba: Depends on your needs. Bacula is the most sophisticated linux backup software thats opensource. | 19:11 |
| bekks | KI7MT: Commercial solutions would be Symantec NetBackup, Symantec BackupExed. | 19:11 |
| bekks | -d+c | 19:11 |
| Pici | *exec | 19:11 |
| KI7MT | Yeah, loads of commercial stuff available. | 19:11 |
| dougbb | eer: what happens when you google for that model number? Do you find a spec sheet? | 19:12 |
| mojtaba | dougbb, bekss: Thank you very much. I will take a look. | 19:12 |
| dougbb | mojtaba: glad to help, good luck :) | 19:12 |
| KI7MT | Then, there is rzync + Cygwin :-) that works too LOL | 19:12 |
| bekks | eer: You still have Nvidia Geforce 7400GT. | 19:12 |
| quantumpants | Pici, Ive had a go in the terminal but seem to have failed | 19:13 |
| bekks | KI7MT: There are "native" rsync solutions for Windows. | 19:13 |
| dougbb | Yeah, I looked at deltacopy for a while, seemed decent | 19:13 |
| dougbb | in the end I went back to just using rsync while I was booted in linux | 19:14 |
| Nickeeh | AHOY ME MATEYS. I be looking for a treasure application that will round up all me logfiles into one nice view so I don't have to open them all. | 19:14 |
| bekks | dougbb: Deltacopy is aone of the worst solutions ;) Better use robocopy and one of the zillions of GUIs, like YARCGUI. | 19:14 |
| Nickeeh | (when something just crashed) | 19:14 |
| kriskropd | does anyone here know how to append arguments for mplayer insdie ranger file manager's apps.py? | 19:15 |
| dougbb | bekks: you're probably right, my best solution so far has been to avoid the problem :) | 19:15 |
| dougbb | Nickeeh: are your options limited to open source? If not, splunk is generally considered the best tool for that job | 19:15 |
| kriskropd | inside* I tried using this to no avail return self.either(c, 'mplayer -ass -vf screenshot -osdlevel 3 -capture') | 19:15 |
| Guest92740 | I alwayse use apt-get upgrade to upgrade my packages. Shoud i use apt-get dist-upgrade also? | 19:16 |
| Nickeeh | dougbb: what? that's a bit of overkill.. just want to sum up /var/log. ;D | 19:17 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest92740, For kernel upgrades yes. | 19:17 |
| Pici | quantumpants: The gui is usually an easier method of changing your repositories, It should be a menu option in the software center for it. | 19:17 |
| bekks | Nickeeh: Then use grep and awk :) | 19:17 |
| dougbb | Nickeeh: .... yeah, what bekks said ... if it's just one system I don't see your problem | 19:18 |
| eer | Is there a way to find out under KDE what the max screen resolution is of my graphics card? | 19:18 |
| quantumpants | thanks pici | 19:18 |
| Pici | quantumpants: I don't use the gui all that often so I'm not sure exactly where it is. | 19:18 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest92740, I use it everytime but thats just me, you want to be careful not to do partial upgrades is all. | 19:18 |

| quantumpants | just updating from a local server | 19:24 |
| fahadash | Its actually a sata drive which was once windows machines drive but now inside an enclosure.... I insert it into windows 7 machine and it says "Disk is not formatted, do you want to format it now?" | 19:24 |

| quantumpants | I love you guys :) | 19:25 |
| fahadash | I don't want to format, i would lose data. I tried this one "free" program which took 3 hours to show me list of files it recovered, but in order to save those files it asked me for $80 | 19:25 |
| fahadash | The drive is NTFS | 19:25 |
| Pici | quantumpants: After you install those you should be able to get build-essential installed | 19:25 |
| wilee-nilee | fahadash, You sure the enclosure is good I bought one brand new a cheap one that did not work very well. Is there partitions on it? | 19:25 |
| KI7MT | Kaylors, My bad.. those are cloud images :-) http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ | 19:25 |
| fahadash | wilee-nilee: Yes there are partitions | 19:26 |
| fahadash | Only one of them is unreadable which is NTFS | 19:26 |
| wilee-nilee | fahadash, Could be a bad enclosure, might need a chkdsk...etc | 19:26 |
| wilee-nilee | might be a bad drive | 19:26 |

| quantumpants | all of a sudden 82 updates apear :) | 19:27 |
| quantumpants | Thanks Pici | 19:27 |
| wilee-nilee | fahadash, I would suspect the enclosure, 10$ from kmart | 19:27 |
| fahadash | walmart | 19:28 |
| wilee-nilee | same thing | 19:28 |
| wilee-nilee | cheap | 19:28 |

| fahadash | Never tried it | 19:34 |

| francisco_ | install complete | 20:13 |
| francisco_ | d | 20:13 |
| hellyeah | bekks: i got nothing that means there is no driver? It is just free nvidia driver or vesa driver | 20:14 |
| francisco_ | and then, Rory? | 20:14 |
| Rory | francisco_: Now run the command: sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb wl brcmfmac brcmsmac bcma | 20:14 |
| Ari-Yang | hellyeah, what ubuntu version are you using? | 20:14 |
| Rory | francisco_: And then run the command: sudo modprobe wl | 20:14 |

| hellyeah | yeah | 20:15 |
| hellyeah | i am using unity it seems | 20:15 |
| Ari-Yang | hellome, in dash board, type software sources and go to 'Additional Drivers' tab | 20:15 |
| Ari-Yang | from there you can select what driver you can use, hellyeah | 20:15 |
| bekks | hellyeah: freen nvidia driver would be "lsmod|grep nouveau" | 20:15 |

| Ari-Yang | hellyeah, I g2g, I'm sure you can figure out how to select a driver from a list ._______. | 20:16 |
| hellyeah | when i use 11.04 or previous version everytime system asked me about installing nvidia properity driver | 20:17 |
| bekks | hellyeah: I guess it wasnt. | 20:17 |
| hellyeah | now it didnt ask | 20:17 |
| francisco_ | Rory, Those commands doesnt work, when i eject them, console is freezen | 20:17 |
| Rory | francisco_: Did the first one work? Which one made it freeze? | 20:17 |
| francisco_ | both | 20:18 |
| hellyeah | y | 20:18 |
| francisco_ | the first didnt work | 20:18 |
| Rory | francisco_: They both made it freeze? You ran the first one and it froze? So how did you run the second one? | 20:18 |
| Rory | francisco_: It is OK you can reboot and it should work | 20:18 |
| francisco_ | yes | 20:18 |
| Rory | francisco_: Those commands were just so you don't have to reboot. But you can reboot instead | 20:19 |
| francisco_ | and the second froze two | 20:19 |
| francisco_ | too | 20:19 |
| francisco_ | ok | 20:19 |
| Rory | Before you reboot | 20:19 |
| Rory | Can you run sudo apt-get update | 20:19 |

| everald | I'm trying to set up a samba share on my buddy's compuer that will allow me to access a particular folder, and use a paricular user which has a group shared with his user, so that with sticky bit set we can both write to the shred directory. | 20:36 |
| grnt | Would anyone of you use Ubuntu (or any other Linux distribution) if it cost money? | 20:37 |

| xan_IT | i dont know which card are used | 20:47 |
| jhutchins | RonaldJ: What does nmbd do? | 20:48 |
| xan_IT | there is a way to see wich video card are used actually? | 20:48 |
| jhutchins | RonaldJ: Do you know? | 20:48 |
| jhutchins | xan_IT: There might be a better way like xrand or video properties in your GUI, but you should be able to figure it out from /var/log/Xorg.0.log (it will give you a headache). | 20:49 |
| nicxvan | If I want a folder to be created in a users home directory automatically, what should I be googling to figure that out? I have had no luck figuring out the search terms | 20:49 |

| everald | What's the best way to have a local network shared folder on a Ubuntu machine? | 20:52 |
| jhutchins | RonaldJ: So likely some windows-like box on your network is storming the server. You might be able to take nmbd down and still work with DNS resolution. Shut it down and see what breaks - that's where the real culprit is. | 20:55 |

| xan_IT | i dont wont the swith o other just use best video card, always | 21:02 |
| jhutchins | xan_IT: The idea is that the intel GPU uses less power, so when you don't need full 3D acceleration use it, but if you want to do gaming or 3D mapping or something use the AMD, which takes more power. | 21:04 |
| Kalel | Greetings.. Id like to know if Uubntu has any bug about youtube playing videos. I can not watch anything. | 21:04 |
| jhutchins | xan_IT: The reason they did this is because what's "best" changes depending on what you're doing. | 21:04 |
| loadid_czech | Kalel: you need to install the flash plugin | 21:05 |
| RonaldJ | jhutchins thanks | 21:05 |
| jhutchins | xan_IT: So far it doesn't work terribly well in Linux (and I hear it has problems in Windows as well). | 21:05 |
| jhutchins | RonaldJ: You can look at tcpdump and maybe see what IP is causing all the traffic. | 21:05 |
| Kalel | Its already installed the leatest one, loadid_czech . By the way, I like you country.. If so.. | 21:06 |

| jkbbwr | Any idea what echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_tw_reuse does | 22:35 |
| jkbbwr | and if it has any side effects? | 22:35 |
| juki | jk, it will write a 1 into the file /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_tw_reuse | 22:36 |
| upd | yes it does has effects | 22:36 |
| oriez | someone familiar with the launcher bar overlay on video fullscreen on dual screen? | 22:36 |
| oriez | some sort of a bug? | 22:36 |
| jkbbwr | upd: what kinid of side effects? | 22:37 |
| jkbbwr | upd: bad ones? | 22:37 |
| juki | to be one for symantics, it would be a side effect, it would be a direct effect | 22:38 |
| juki | would not* be a side effect | 22:38 |
| jkbbwr | okay what negitive effects could it have | 22:38 |
| juki | first jkbbwr, open a text editor and open the file /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_tw_reuse and see what's in there | 22:39 |
| sixcorners | check man 7 tcp for tcp_tw_reuse | 22:40 |
| upd | jkbbwr, depends what you want when tcp connection is closed there is some time to wait, but setting this will imediattely reuse the same socket so this can mess up tcp handshake | 22:40 |
| jkbbwr | well im kinda using up all my sockets... | 22:41 |
| upd | 65536 ? | 22:41 |
| juki | using up all your sockets? | 22:41 |
| jkbbwr | Yes | 22:41 |
| juki | i don't understand | 22:42 |
| upd | well i would try to decrease time_wait if there is an option | 22:42 |
| guest__ | Hello! I installed KDE4 in Ubuntu 12.04 and KDE4 is using its own login screen in Ubuntu 12.04. How do I change back to the default login? | 22:43 |
| === Rez is now known as LoRez | ||
| hdon | guys. 12.04 here. my gvfs_metadata process has been going for three days, keeping on of my CPU cores in iowait and writing to my disk constantly. it's not really a nuisance, but what is going on? | 22:44 |
| upd | jkbbwr, if you are using mysql you can set smaller time, so socket will be free faster, but be aware of packet loss | 22:44 |
| Obi1 | can any1 see my posts ? | 22:44 |
| daftykins | what posts? | 22:44 |
| hdon | that was weird... i thought i saw someone named "Obi" but then i guess i imagined it | 22:44 |
| guest__ | 0bi1 - what posts are you referring to? | 22:45 |
| juki | guest__: it's difficult to use the gnome login and kde... or are you saying you want to switch back to gnome and disregard kde? | 22:45 |
| Obi1 | <Obi1> hello Cannot send to channel: #ubuntu | 22:45 |
| guest__ | juki - yes. | 22:45 |
| juki | guest__: do you have a file /etc/X11/default-display-manager | 22:45 |
| Bruce_ | If "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:..." adds a repository, how do I remove it? | 22:46 |
| Obi1 | i try on Linux chat but i was geting Cannot send to channel: ##linux | 22:46 |
| juki | Bruce_: look at the bottom of the file /etc/apt/sources.list | 22:46 |
| guest__ | juki - give me a second. I will see if it exists... | 22:46 |
| Bruce_ | juki: I don't have a file. | 22:47 |
| juki | check again bruce | 22:47 |
| Bruce_ | juki: where might I find this? | 22:47 |
| juki | Bruce_: open a text editor and open the sources.list filie in the /etc/apt folder | 22:48 |

| === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away | ||
| jrib | loa: why do you want to do that? | 22:49 |
| mediawork | I just lost a couple of directories on my desktop, | 22:49 |
| sixcorners | hdon: check man gvfs | 22:49 |
| hdon | sixcorners, thanks i didn't think of that | 22:49 |
| mediawork | I had trouble mounting the filesystem yesterday, no appernt reason | 22:49 |
| hdon | err... that sounded sarcastic sixcorners but it wasn't meant that way | 22:49 |
| sixcorners | it's fine | 22:49 |
| mediawork | I asked ubuntu to try to repair the problem | 22:49 |
| bl4ckdu5t | Is there a package in the apt that I can use to download GTK+ and all its dependencies | 22:49 |
| mediawork | and it kinda did, but a couple of directories I had been using the day before were gone | 22:50 |
| bl4ckdu5t | I feel it's stressful following the steps on GTK websites | 22:50 |
| loa | jrib, becouse 10.10 is now trash, it don't supported | 22:50 |
| hdon | sixcorners, could you dpkg -L that man file? i don't have it installed it seems | 22:50 |
| hdon | sorry dpkg -S | 22:50 |
| bl4ckdu5t | * -s | 22:50 |
| loa | but i need install some packages | 22:50 |
| jrib | loa: upgrade to 12.04 | 22:50 |
| loa | jrib, ^^ | 22:50 |
| Obi1 | i need a IP blocker any1 have idea what is he best one | 22:50 |
| mediawork | also I know find... some strange files in my root, /initrd.img and vmlinuz... in my root?!? | 22:50 |
| loa | jrib, i don't think it will go smooth | 22:50 |
| jrib | Obi1: you want to know how to use the firewall? | 22:50 |
| jrib | loa: you have backups. | 22:50 |
| juki | mediawork: that is your kernel | 22:50 |
| Obi1 | not on Linux | 22:50 |
| loa | jrib, only www and database | 22:50 |
| loa | but i don't want update or reinstall) | 22:51 |
| juki | those files are supposed to be there, if you delete them, stuffz won't workz | 22:51 |
| loa | i just want install few apps) | 22:51 |
| hdon | loa, you really should update :\ it's not hard | 22:51 |
| mediawork | juki, I thought the kernel is under /booty | 22:51 |
| jrib | loa: that leaves you with one option: stay on an unsupported release (I do not suggest this) | 22:51 |
| mediawork | juki, I thought the kernel is under /boot | 22:51 |
| mediawork | juki, not under / | 22:51 |
| loa | =/ | 22:51 |
| loa | and there no way to install apps for 10.10? | 22:52 |
| loa | they are all deleted? | 22:52 |
| mediawork | but anyway, it seems those files were generated more than a week ago | 22:52 |
| juki | those two files are necessary, maybe they hand off the root drive to the kernel or something | 22:52 |
| mediawork | so thats not it. | 22:52 |
| jrib | loa: upgrade to a supported release. | 22:52 |
| jrib | loa: why are you even contemplating staying on an unsupported release? | 22:52 |
| zerick | which is the equivalent or similar tool for MS Project ? | 22:52 |
| juki | you can delete them to see if they are necessary or not mediawork, and then let us know when you get your OS reinstalled because it won't boot anymore | 22:52 |
| sixcorners | hdon it says it's used by nautilus.. http://manned.org/gvfsd-metadata.1 | 22:52 |
| mediawork | juki, thanks | 22:53 |
| guest__ | juki - yes, /etc/X11/default-display-manager exists. What should I do? | 22:53 |
| jrib | !eolupgrade | loa | 22:53 |
| ubottu | loa: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 22:53 |
| mediawork | juki, ok those symbolic links it seems | 22:53 |
| upd | zerick, planner | 22:53 |
| mediawork | juki, not the problem... | 22:53 |
| juki | what does the line in there say guest__? | 22:53 |
| hdon | sixcorners, weird.. i do have that installed. i'm on 12.04 though | 22:53 |
| mediawork | juki, somehow ubuntu 13 with ext4 lost my files, really hasnt happended to me before.. | 22:53 |
| hdon | mediawork, :o | 22:54 |
| guest__ | juki - /usr//bin/kdm | 22:54 |
| hdon | mediawork, could you elaborate? | 22:54 |
| juki | change kdm to gdm and save guest__, that will put you back in gnome | 22:54 |
| hdon | fwiw having broken symbolic links does not mean files got lost | 22:54 |
| upd | zerick, also check openproj | 22:54 |
| mediawork | hdon, ok so I was working on rendering some files... the other day, loads of images stored in a folder, maybe about ehm. few gigs. | 22:54 |
| mediawork | hdon, I then turned off my computer successfully yesterday morning | 22:55 |
| sixcorners | hdon: how big is ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata | 22:55 |
| mediawork | hdon, then I start my computer in the evening | 22:55 |
| juki | when you reboot guest__ it should put you back in gnome assuming you didn't uninstall gdm when you installed kde | 22:55 |
| sixcorners | I'm reading from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1421580 | 22:55 |
| hdon | mediawork, fwiw if you have very large files you may want to use another fs. i've found jfs (this was years ago though, as compared to ext3) and jfs was much better performance. | 22:55 |
| mediawork | hdon, it has problems booting, and asks if it should repair the problem... | 22:55 |
| mediawork | hdon, I ask ubuntu to repair | 22:55 |
| mediawork | "try to fix " I think it said | 22:55 |
| juki | mediawork: what did you do that you think lost your files? | 22:55 |
| mediawork | hdon, juki , I think after I allowed ubuntu boot process to fix the file registry, the folders I had been working in lately were completely lost | 22:56 |
| loa | jrib, so there no up repositories for 10.10? | 22:56 |
| juki | registry? what are we workgroup for linux 3.11? | 22:56 |
| guest__ | I don't think so. How do I check if gdm was not deleted? I downloaded and installed the FULL KDE desktop environment package. | 22:57 |
| loa | and i 100% need to upgrade to install something new? | 22:57 |
| mediawork | hdon, juki, but no warning or message from the boot process that this was the risk | 22:57 |
| hdon | sixcorners, pretty small... http://pastebin.mozilla.org/3099180 | 22:57 |
| jrib | loa: there are. They are there to allow you to upgrade to the next release (until you get to a supported release). Ubottu's link tells you about them | 22:57 |
| jrib | loa: you need to upgrade to get on a supported release. You aren't receiving security updates. | 22:57 |
| hdon | mediawork, were they all in the same directory? | 22:58 |
| loa | jrib, ok, i will read, thank you. | 22:58 |
| mediawork | hdon, juki , well I dont know what it was fixing... it would you like to have ubuntu try to fix the problem... | 22:58 |
| mediawork | hdon, yes | 22:58 |
| mediawork | hdon, same directory and subdirectories | 22:58 |
| hdon | mediawork, is the directory empty? what is the full path to the directory? | 22:58 |
| juki | can you give us any more info on what it was attempting to fix, "the registry" doesn't sound correct... and when in the boot process did it ask that? | 22:58 |
| mediawork | hdon, /home/mediawork/Desktop/Scenes1Jul13/ | 22:59 |
| hdon | mediawork, can you share the output of the command "df path/to/the/directory" | 22:59 |
| hdon | mediawork, do you have an encrypted home directory? | 22:59 |
| mediawork | juki, when attempting to mount the /home device I seem to recall | 22:59 |
| yhwh | holy twitter! is it possible to change the background color in smuxi? i'm blinded by the whiteness of this white!! | 22:59 |
| juki | maybe fstab got borked? | 22:59 |
| mediawork | hdon, I do not | 23:00 |
| hdon | mediawork, are other files in your home directory unharmed? | 23:00 |
| hdon | mediawork, please share the output of df /home/mediawork/Desktop/Scenes1Jul13/ and mount commands | 23:00 |
| mediawork | hdon, Im not quite sure yet, but other directories did go.. such as ~/.blender/ | 23:00 |
| mediawork | ? | 23:00 |
| mediawork | ok I will run the command | 23:00 |
| juki | possible hardware failure | 23:01 |
| hdon | mediawork, did your desktop environment look at all different when you logged in? (also which version of ubuntu are you using?) | 23:01 |
| mediawork | hdon, no not different except for missing folders. | 23:01 |
| mediawork | hdon, using 13.04.. unless I updated. not sure | 23:02 |
| juki | i've also seen those errors when recloning a partition, things get confused.. doesn't sound like he would be recloning a partition image though | 23:02 |
| juki | hdon: post the output? | 23:02 |
| hdon | mediawork, your situation doesn't sound completely unlike failing to mount an encrypted home directory, however there are some extra things that are not necessarily a part of such experience | 23:02 |
| hdon | juki, did you mean mediawork? | 23:02 |
| juki | yes i did | 23:02 |
| mediawork | yes wait what was the command | 23:03 |

| mediawork | juki, interestingly one of the folders also missing from the Desktop was a network shared folder called Share | 23:08 |
| mediawork | not sure if that is relevant | 23:08 |
| Siecje | If audio is playing and I press alt+tab the sound skips | 23:09 |

| hdon | Siecje, could you tell us about your cpu? cat /proc/cpuinfo if you don't know | 23:09 |
| mediawork | hdon, yes, I believe it was samba . | 23:09 |
| mediawork | hdon, I kinda just followed the instructions when right clicking and setting up share on the folder | 23:10 |

| mediawork | ? | 23:12 |
| juki | var/log | 23:12 |
| hdon | Siecje, well that shouldn't be the problem. you may want to try the indicator-multiload package to get a clearer picture of resource utilization when this occurs, which may help narrow down the problem | 23:12 |
| juki | dmesg maybe? | 23:12 |
| hdon | mediawork, you may want to ask about filesystem diagnostics in #linux | 23:13 |

| hdon | one last thing though mediawork | 23:13 |
| sixcorners | juke: I guess there was no xorg.conf.. ran nvidia-xconfig.. rebooted.. and am now waiting for a crash.. hasn't happened yet | 23:13 |
| hdon | i noticed a zip file that had the same name as your directory | 23:13 |
| hdon | is it possible you ran a command or used a program that turned your directory into the zip file and removed the directory? | 23:14 |
| mediawork | hdon, that is an old backup of the directory :S | 23:14 |
| juki | sixcorners: xorg.conf isn't really used anymore unless you make one | 23:14 |

| hdon | mediawork, ah ok, just a thought :) | 23:14 |
| sixcorners | juke: well.. then I hope the one I just generated is better then the one it didn't use before.. | 23:14 |
| sixcorners | thanks for the help and stuff | 23:15 |
| sixcorners | oops.. meant to type juki.. | 23:15 |
| mediawork | under /var/log/upstart/ there are many logs... do these have to do with the boot process? | 23:15 |
| juki | i saw it, any xorg.conf will override the default settings.. if you created one and things are working... good stuff sixcorners | 23:15 |
| guest__ | I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 and have KDE4 installed. How do I change back to the Gnome/Unity login screen? | 23:15 |
| mediawork | juki, hdon, btw. is my filesystem encrypted? | 23:16 |
| juki | sixcorners: you can probably use the tab key to auto-complete user names in case you didn't know | 23:16 |
| hdon | mediawork, almost certainly not | 23:16 |
| juki | haha | 23:16 |
| hdon | not by accident | 23:16 |
| hdon | since it's /home | 23:16 |
| mediawork | good | 23:16 |
| sixcorners | juki: it's such a small and easy to type name though | 23:16 |

| fission6 | how do i add $(__git_ps1) to my prompt | 23:18 |
| guest__ | juki - I went into /usr/etc/x11/default-display-manager and changed the line from /usr/bin/kdm to say /usr/bin/gdm. Logged out and the KDE4 login screen still appears. | 23:18 |
| hdon | mediawork, jsut to be share, pleas share the output of this command: find /home/.ecryptfs | 23:18 |
| juki | Siecje: has it ever worked correctly? do you remember changing anything since it's started crashing? | 23:18 |
| juki | guest__: you need admin rights to save the file... are you sure that the change took? | 23:19 |
| mediawork | hdon, find: `/home/.ecryptfs': No such file or directory | 23:19 |
| Siecje | juki: I have installed thing but that's about it | 23:19 |
| hdon | mediawork, ok, no encrypted filesystems :) | 23:19 |
| mediawork | hdon, there are so many logs under var log, I dont know where to start... can I grep out something? | 23:19 |
| juki | so you're saying it has worked previously Siecje? what did you install? | 23:19 |
| hdon | mediawork, i'd ask in #linux | 23:19 |
| mediawork | hdon, maybe grep repair? | 23:19 |
| mediawork | ok | 23:19 |
| hdon | mediawork, tell them you might have encountered an ext4 failure. lost directories. | 23:20 |
| guest__ | juki - In the terminal I typed "sudo gedit /etc/default-display-manager". I changed the line at the end to gdm and saved the file. Logged out and the KDE4 login screen still appears. | 23:21 |
| juki | guest__: somewhere in the login screen there is a dropdown/button to click on that askes which display manager to use, choose gdm instead of kdm.. or maybe you need a "sudo restart gdm" | 23:22 |

| dougiel | how do I disable my 13.04 from needing my wallet password all the time? | 23:37 |
| dougiel | if I am logged in I just want to have access to the wallet. | 23:37 |
| loadid_czech | you can set a time limit on it dougiel | 23:38 |
| dougiel | thank you loadid_czech - it's not that it keeps asking me during my sessions as much as I need 2 passwords to fire up the machine... one to log in and one for the wallet - I don't even like punching in a password once let alone twice. | 23:41 |
| loadid_czech | you could disable the wallet dougiel | 23:46 |
| loadid_czech | and you can autologin too dougiel | 23:46 |

| dougiel | loadid_czech, if I disable the wallet will I be able to re enable it and not lose any of the saved data... the wallet is what remembers all my passwords for sites and networks right? | 23:54 |
| loadid_czech | not sure about the losing data, I don't imagine it would erase anything by disabling it but i'm not 100% on that... yes, I think it does remember passwords for you | 23:55 |
| loadid_czech | I don't use the wallet, I just know how to disable it | 23:55 |
| Console | hahaha | 23:55 |
| dougiel | loadid_czech, thank you for your help... I will disable it and play around with it... remind me tomorrow to let you know what I learned (cannot reboot at the moment) | 23:56 |
| loadid_czech | sadly, my linux wallet stays empty... strangly resembles IRL | 23:57 |
| dougiel | LOL | 23:57 |
| dougiel | I have the same problem. | 23:57 |
| ggherdov | hello. a "debian package" and a "ubuntu package" are exactly the same thing, correct? | 23:59 |
| ggherdov | I mean: if I want to write a package for ubuntu I'll find all the info in debian tutorials ? | 23:59 |
