| loadid_czech | d1g1talph3r3t: maybe video card driver issues? try booting with the nomodeset option? | 00:05 |
| zykotick9 | d1g1talph3r3t: fyi, ubuntu uses lightdm by default... | 00:06 |
| d1g1talph3r3t | loadid_czech - there is nothing wrong with my video card. Is lightdm the default display manager in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS? | 00:08 |
| loadid_czech | yes d1g1talph3r3t | 00:08 |

| d1g1talph3r3t | okay. | 00:08 |
| Console | Hey everyone, I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 on my desktop and laptop. My laptop has the option for a partial upgrade and I have refusing it so I don't break anything and can't afford any downtime. Unfortunately it's been like this for weeks and the amount of legit updates keep on piling up. What do you suggest is the best plan of action to move forward? | 00:08 |
| loadid_czech | hand select updates using the package manager Console | 00:09 |
| loadid_czech | disable the restricted repositories, update you sources list and upgrade using on the basics | 00:10 |
| zykotick9 | Console: i wouldn't think you'd get "partial" upgrades, if you are using the default repo... work-around, "aptitude safe-upgrade" might be able to install what "can" be installed? | 00:10 |
| xatr0z | or apt-get install <packages you want to upgrade> | 00:16 |
| Console | The only items that won't update via package manager include files related to Apache2, php5, json library, and generic linux kernal, headers, and image. | 00:17 |
| JBair | can someone help me get the icons that close windows and get to minimize windows , be on top off the menu | 00:21 |
| jrib | Console: pastebin actual input and output instead of stating the issue in your won words | 00:22 |
| Console | jrib: For sure, is there a command that would be helpful to accurately display what packages are not going to be upgraded? | 00:24 |
| === |_ocke3 is now known as |_ocke | ||
| jrib | Console: does the one you are running not tell you that? | 00:27 |
| Console | I'm just looking at it through the package manager. | 00:28 |

| tech1337 | Hi all, has anyone here studied software engineering before? I am a long time nix user looking for some apps that could help my studies at uni. All the online sources seem to quote is the best known crap. | 00:42 |
| loadid_czech | ohhh.. 12.04 is LTS, can only upgrade to the next LTS | 00:42 |
| bejker | LTS what that mean? | 00:42 |
| reisio | tech1337: studies? | 00:42 |
| zykotick9 | !lts | bejker | 00:42 |
| ubottu | bejker: 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) | 00:42 |
| tech1337 | Long Term Support | 00:42 |
| loadid_czech | long term support | 00:42 |
| bejker | ok | 00:43 |
| rgreen | its impossible to upgrade to 13.04 from 12.04? | 00:43 |
| bejker | so 12.04 is current, is beter to reinstal ubuntu to get higher version or stay with 12.04? | 00:44 |
| Daekdroom | rgreen, you can go 12.10 then 13.04 | 00:44 |
| tech1337 | Yeah, I am an adult learner entering University (british uni) and am looking for good software that can help a student that is studying Software Engineering (me) | 00:44 |

| reisio | tech1337: like... interpreters and compilers? | 00:44 |
| chaotic_good | I updated my gateway in network files | 00:44 |
| rgreen | ok, sorry for my lack of knowledge, what command do i use to get to 12.10? | 00:44 |
| bejker | chaotic_good: ifconfig eth0 down && ifconfig eth0 up | 00:45 |
| arayaq | rgreen: apt-get dist-upgrade, i think | 00:45 |
| tech1337 | Nah, I am doing a shed load of C++ and have Mono, more like time management, schedule etc. | 00:45 |
| rgreen | i tried that but it didnt update anything | 00:45 |
| loadid_czech | something around "ifup wlan0" chaotic_good | 00:45 |
| loadid_czech | rgreen: you can sometimes edit the sources.list file to the 12.10 repositories and update && upgrade that way... probably not always stable though | 00:46 |
| tech1337 | you would have to install 12.10. I think you can upgrade from disk, but dist-upgrade wont work on LTSs | 00:46 |
| petey | hi everyone, ive got a question about an external hard drive with broken permissions | 00:46 |

| whowhat | Anybody familiar with nethogs? I've had some suspicious activity over my network and can't track down where it's coming from, but nethogs confirms the suspicious activity.

| client | loadid_czech which question? The last 1 or my initial question? | 00:51 |
| loadid_czech | port 80 is http?? | 00:51 |
| loadid_czech | client: about pulling files | 00:51 |
| loadid_czech | and the initial one, didn't catch that one client | 00:52 |
| client | oh loadid_czech I was thinking that there may exist a way to share updates I've already downloaded to another computer running the same OS | 00:52 |
| client | I'm running 2 computers with the same linux OS | 00:52 |
| client | I download updates to 1 computer and would like to share those updates with the other computer. | 00:53 |
| whowhat | loadid_czech: I just ran rootkit checkers and couldn't find anything. and nothing stands out in service list or top | 00:53 |
| bejker | client: i dont think you can share updates with other PC | 00:53 |
| rgreen | you could use nfs client | 00:53 |
| loadid_czech | dpkg --get-selections >> /path/to/file/name then use that file to dpkg --set-selections /path/to/file/from/other/computer or something | 00:53 |
| zykotick9 | client: copy /var/cache/apt/archives/ from one system to another | 00:53 |

| vmussa | hello everyone, I'm on a Samsung Series 5 Ultra ultrabook, which after some research on the web, I found out that has some issues related to booting ubuntu being even possible to brick the laptop on a simply live USB boot | 05:28 |
| vmussa | but my question is, if I use wubi, what are the chances that it could brick my laptop? | 05:29 |
| acerimmer | vmussa, the issue you refer to was fixed with the updated kernel. I suggest you consider 12.04 LongTermSupport. As for wubi ... not on my WORST day. | 05:30 |
| vmussa | acerimmer, haha, so if I download the 12.04 LTS version in ubuntu's website it will come with the updated kernel for sure? | 05:31 |
| acerimmer | vmussa, That's my understanding. Run the live session to verify. | 05:31 |
| AcidRain2012 | it is possible to brick a laptop? | 05:33 |
| AcidRain2012 | i thought that was only with apple devices | 05:33 |
| acerimmer | AcidRain2012, apparently it is. that samsung kernel was especially nasty thus the fast track repair. | 05:34 |
| acerimmer | *NOT really samsung's fault* | 05:34 |
| AcidRain2012 | acerimmer, hmmm.... thats crazy. not sure if i believe it or not. | 05:34 |
| acerimmer | don't want to leave the wrong impression. I'm not fully informed on the tech aspects, but it seems the kernel and UEFI had a hard time co-existing on Samsung's platform | 05:35 |
| acerimmer | AcidRain2012, google brick and ubuntu ... | 05:35 |
| vmussa | acerimmer, thank you for the support, I will continue reading about it | 05:36 |
| acerimmer | vmussa, best of luck to you | 05:36 |
| === dormito_ is now known as dormito | ||
| vmussa | acerimmer, AcidRain2012, there is a blog post from Mathew Garrett's blog titled "Dealing with UEFI non-volatile memory quirks" which explains a little bit the problem and introduces a patch which could possibly fix the problem | 05:41 |
| SupaSol | bien le bonjour par ici :) | 05:42 |
| SupaSol | Ho sorry, hello here :p | 05:42 |
| acerimmer | vmussa, as I stated, that patch was later rolled into the standard kernel. | 05:42 |
| dharmaturtle | Dumb question, why does "ls | grep .{10,}" not return anything? I'm looking for filenames longer than 10 chars. | 05:43 |
| vmussa | acerimmer, I see. But since he doesn't say for sure if the problem is fixed, I'm not sure about trying to boot ubuntu yet :( | 05:43 |
| SwedeMike | dharmaturtle: use egrep instead? | 05:43 |
| dharmaturtle | "ls | egrep .{10,}" doesn't return anything either :( | 05:44 |
| acerimmer | vmussa, note: it's a linux kernel issue, not just ubuntu. but to avoid such, you could install virtualbox in windows and install ubuntu inside the box. no risk to your lappy that way. | 05:44 |
| SwedeMike | dharmaturtle: ls | egrep '.{10,}' works for me | 05:44 |
| dharmaturtle | ohh... I need to enclose it in quotes | 05:45 |
| * dharmaturtle feels silly | 05:45 | |
| dharmaturtle | thank you :D | 05:45 |
| SwedeMike | np. | 05:45 |
| vmussa | acerimmer, oh I see. What about wubi? | 05:46 |
| acerimmer | vmussa, how do I say this gently? not no but HELL no! (imho) | 05:46 |
| vmussa | haha! Why? | 05:47 |
| insanity67 | hello together! | 05:47 |
| vmussa | Is it slow? | 05:47 |
| acerimmer | vmussa, in tech terms, wubi mimics a windows app, BUT it also fritz with your boot so ... lots of unhappy campers with wubi. with virtualbox, not so many | 05:47 |
| acerimmer | vmussa, and I say this as a one-time wubi user. Compared to Virtualbox? VB wins hands down. | 05:49 |
| vmussa | acerimmer, I get it. I guess I will think better about it then. Just will make sure it can't be bricked with VB haha | 05:50 |
| === kenneth is now known as Guest65934 | ||
| acerimmer | vmussa, never heard of a VB doing anything so drastic. | 05:51 |
| audrey | any reason why startx to use an alternate window manager always gives me a black screen? | 05:51 |
| vmussa | acerimmer, in fact I have a friend who has a similar samsung ultrabook running ubuntu, but since it is not exactly the same model I'm not sure about installing it | 05:52 |
| acerimmer | vmussa, go with the VB. Also, depending on your warranty, you MIGHT be able to RMA the lappy if the worst should happen. | 05:53 |
| vmussa | acerimmer, that's true, I will get info about the warranty! | 05:55 |
| acerimmer | vmussa, you won't be the first. | 05:56 |
| Guest65934 | what kind of laptop? | 05:56 |
| vmussa | Guest65934, Samsung Series 5 Ultra | 05:58 |
| AcidRain2012 | why are files sometimes created with ~ at the end of it | 06:04 |
| AcidRain2012 | ill have 2 of each file. 1 with a ~ | 06:04 |
| Guest65934 | Nice laptop, I dont think they can void your warranty for installing software thats what it's meant for, an os is jest software | 06:04 |
| Guest65934 | you can redownload windows ISO's for free from MS you jest need to use you oem key on back of you laptop to install it | 06:05 |
| xmetal | i cant speek for everywhere, but when I installed Linux on my new laptop and the hdd died (linux not the cause, OBVIOUSLY ... just in case anyone thinks i am saying thats why it failed) ... they still honored the warrenty | 06:06 |

| acerimmer | zdot, don't like unity? logout. choose an alternate desktop environment. login. done. | 06:14 |
| Guest65934 | it's for windows 7 if you have win 8 im not sure what to do | 06:14 |
| zdot | i mean, the tray apps wont show their windows when i click their icons in the tray | 06:14 |
| zdot | acerimmer: no, i like unity but i'd like it to be more perfect | 06:14 |
| zdot | it's actually one of best experience i had with linux des in a while | 06:15 |
| xmetal | i have to say that despite saying i dont like unity (still one of my least favorite DE's) .... Unity doesn't seem that bad | 06:15 |
| xmetal | takes some getting use to | 06:15 |
| zdot | yes but it should bring up tray apps windows up when i click the tray icons | 06:15 |
| zdot | i guess i should write a patch of my own | 06:16 |
| expo987 | Does ubuntu have one of those memory clearing apps | 06:18 |
| expo987 | like free up RAM | 06:18 |
| Ben64 | doesn't need it | 06:18 |
| * xmetal agrees with Ben | 06:18 | |
| expo987 | Ben64: I've used it before on OSX | 06:19 |
| expo987 | They work | 06:19 |
| Ben64 | idk about osx, but linux uses the memory it needs, theres nothing to clear | 06:20 |
| expo987 | sometimes even after quitting minecraft web browsing gets slow on my macbook pro | 06:21 |
| expo987 | i run that once and it goes back to normal | 06:21 |
| expo987 | How do you explain *that*? | 06:21 |
| Guest65934 | Yeah linux makes a ram disc sortive | 06:22 |
| Ben64 | expo987: you're talking about osx again? | 06:23 |
| zdot | expo987: what is your RAM size? | 06:23 |
| bountyhunter | What programming language do you guys choose for begineers Java or Python in your opiniions? | 06:24 |
| zdot | expo987: you might want to swapoff && swapon | 06:24 |
| expo987 | zdot: How do I do that? | 06:24 |
| expo987 | zdot: 2 GB | 06:24 |
| zdot | expo987: sudo swapoff -a && sudo swapon -a | 06:25 |
| zdot | expo987: that's not too much, it may lag afetr you run a RAM hungry application like mincraft | 06:25 |
| Guest65934 | I think he wants a linux ram cleaner app, like them programs for windows back in the old days memory sweeper ... | 06:25 |

| Codex_ | I need help | 06:26 |
| expo987 | Guest65934: Yep | 06:26 |
| zdot | expo987: because linux places lots of data into the virtual memory when it out of RAM | 06:26 |
| Ben64 | expo987: once again, you don't need it and it won't work anyway | 06:26 |
| Codex_ | how do I change the position of the buttons at the top of the windows | 06:27 |
| Myrtti | linuxatemyram.com | 06:27 |
| zdot | well, actually all of oses do that | 06:27 |
| Codex_ | I need them on the left | 06:27 |
| zdot | Ben64: what wont work | 06:27 |
| Ben64 | zdot: using a memory freer program on linux | 06:27 |
| === Mohamed is now known as Guest31412 | ||
| expo987 | zdot: does that mean some of my activity can be recoverable from my disk space | 06:27 |
| Codex_ | does anyone know how this can be done? | 06:27 |
| hateball | expo987: If you want to drop cache for some reason (I've had to do this myself due to buggy intel firmware for instance, you can do: "echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" | 06:28 |
| Guest65934 | expo987 I would jest use you computer and see if your swap file partition is getting used, most likely it's not at alll | 06:28 |
| xmetal | i'd think upgrading how much memory you have would be a better option | 06:28 |
| zdot | expo987: it means your system places some of the memory data into your swap partition because it gets out of memory | 06:29 |
| srirang | Hi.. I am trying to ssh into a remote machine (an EC2 instance running Ubuntu 12.04 server) but I am experiencing huge delays and often I get an error saying connection was closed. | 06:29 |
| zdot | expo987: when you do swapoff it places the data back to the memory | 06:29 |
| srirang | The CPU usage is below 50% on that machine (from the graphs shown in Amazon EC2 console) and whenever I do login I see that the load average is also less than 0.5 | 06:29 |
| srirang | So what is causing the ssh connection to be so slow or even fail? | 06:30 |
| Sling | srirang: does an mtr to that host show packetloss or high latency? | 06:30 |
| zdot | expo987: and it's trivial to know RAM is way faster than today's permanent memory devices | 06:30 |

| expo987 | zdot: "when you do swapoff it places the data back to the memory" I don't understand this sentence | 06:30 |
| srirang | Sling: No, 0% loss | 06:31 |
| Ben64 | !swap | expo987 | 06:31 |
| ubottu | expo987: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 06:31 |
| zdot | expo987: ... swapoff unmounts the swap partitions but it has to place the swap data back in the RAM | 06:31 |
| Codex_ | I guess im not going to get any help here | 06:31 |
| srirang | Sling: The ping times shown there, initial few are less than 20, the next 4 or 5 are above 250. | 06:32 |
| zdot | Codex_: you need an alternative gtk style i supose | 06:32 |

| srirang | Sling: That is true. I am in India and the machine is in the US-East region. But never have I experienced such high delays. | 06:33 |
| zdot | Codex_: you can install a theme that does it or just crate one of your own | 06:33 |
| zdot | expo987: so? | 06:33 |
| expo987 | is that the same thing | 06:33 |
| expo987 | ? | 06:33 |
| Codex_ | im using MATE | 06:33 |
| Sling | srirang: do you have another host somewhere which you could use as a intermediate/proxy ? | 06:34 |
| zdot | Codex_: so? | 06:34 |
| Sling | Guest65934: that will just show whether its open/filtered/closed, not how good the connection is | 06:34 |
| Ben64 | Codex_: mate isn't supported in here | 06:34 |
| Sling | Guest65934: and since he can connect to it, it's open | 06:34 |
| Codex_ | well in unity I guess they are on the left but in mate the default is on the right | 06:34 |

| linu | ObrienDave is it help to remove files from ~/.local/share/applications ? | 07:17 |
| ObrienDave | linu, you can remove the Office icon from the wine menu with winetricks | 07:18 |

| qin | Guest99281: use htop | 08:07 |
| elnur | If it does matter, I'm running the system in VirtualBox. | 08:07 |
| Sling | elnur: logfiles are always a good start | 08:07 |

| GibbaTheHutt | Guest99281, you could do something like top -n 1 and then sort/filter | 08:09 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest99281, hit f1 in htop and run man htop in a terminal for info | 08:10 |
| qin | Guest99281: whats the aim? top is not realy comfy for piping but there is awk or simply sort | 08:11 |
| ronin | do you have any idea if I run java program, it creates this many processes http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6131614/ | 08:11 |
| GibbaTheHutt | elnur, maybe man update-rc.d is something that could help | 08:11 |
| Ben64 | ronin: you really shouldn't be running things as root, especially java | 08:11 |
| Guest99281 | the aim is to get it's output to text file | 08:12 |
| ronin | Ben64, I'm usually not, just an example | 08:12 |
| ronin | I don't udnerstand why I get this many pid's | 08:12 |
| elnur | The thing is, I've compared contents of rc*.d folders in my host OS and the one in VirtualBox. | 08:12 |
| elnur | They look the same. | 08:12 |
| Ben64 | because thats what the program does? | 08:12 |

| elnur | I mean, there are the same SXX symlinks to the same scripts. | 08:13 |
| ronin | faugusztin, it's simple java program that uses java.util.Scanner only | 08:14 |
| ronin | faugusztin, how do I know if it's a multithreaded app | 08:15 |
| GibbaTheHutt | ronin, maybe step back a bit, what actual problem is it causing ? | 08:16 |
| ronin | it's not creating any problems, just wondering :) | 08:17 |
| ronin | I just was afraid that if there's something wrong | 08:17 |
| ronin | but obviously not | 08:17 |
| Guest99281 | does anyone know how to pause top command ? | 08:19 |
| faugusztin | ronin: it can have multiple reasons, starting from multithreaded app, it can be a garbage collector thread, whatever. best way to find out is to start the app with debugging and check out the thread list in Eclipse or other java IDE | 08:19 |
| GibbaTheHutt | Guest99281, man top is has the info on there on the various options | 08:20 |
| qin | Guest99281: ps aux; how unhappy are you with output? | 08:20 |

| Lachezar | Hello people. | 08:32 |
| cfhowlett | Lachezar, greetings person | 08:33 |
| Lachezar | Today the update manager showed that I have 38 updates, but was only able to install 6, and then it showed, that I have 32 updates, but clickingf it said 'Your system is up to date' (in Bulgarian equivalent). I had to do a manual apt-get update+upgrade. | 08:34 |
| geaden | hello, guys! Here is the problem. My host os is Windows OS but I work in ubuntu most of the time which is running as virtual machine. I use sqldeveloper to connect our oracle database. From windows it works fine, but from ubuntu I get ORA12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist. It's very weird as I can connect to my host instance of Oracle Express from ubuntu. From ubuntu i can host, ping and telnet oracle database server, but can | 08:34 |
| geaden | not connect from sql client | 08:34 |
| cfhowlett | Lachezar, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade should fix all of that | 08:35 |
| Guest99281 | can I sort df output? | 08:35 |
| Lachezar | cfhowlett: update+upgrade was enough, but I am puzzled as to why the Update Manager did not work. | 08:35 |
| Rory | Guest99281: By what? | 08:35 |
| ikonia_ | geaden: sqldeveloper as in the Oracle product - sqldeveloper | 08:36 |
| Guest99281 | by free space | 08:36 |
| Lachezar | Guest99281: Yes: 'df | sort -k 4' will sort on free space | 08:36 |
| Rory | Guest99281: df -B M | sort -k5 -g | 08:36 |
| cfhowlett | Lachezar, when I've been hit with that, it's usually due to held back packages ... once whatever was blocking the upgrade pipeline was fixed, themerry way. packages came down and I went on my | 08:36 |
| geaden | ikonia_: yes. I install sqldeveloper under ubuntu | 08:36 |
| ikonia_ | geaden: ok, and where/what is the database you are trying to connect to, is it local to ubuntu, on the windows host, or on a different network ? | 08:37 |
| Lachezar | cfhowlett: I don't have held back packages. That's weird. | 08:37 |
| geaden | it's in local network and it's not on the windows host, thought on the windows host i can connect perfectly | 08:37 |
| Lachezar | cfhowlett: And when kernel needs updating it asks for the password an executes a dist-upgrade. But its behaviour is weird now: It _should_ work, I can manually update and upgrade. | 08:38 |
| ikonia_ | geaden: ok, so from the ubuntu machine, can you tnsping the host ? | 08:38 |
| ikonia_ | geaden: sorry, to be clear, can you tnsping the remote Oracle database | 08:38 |
| cfhowlett | Lachezar, sorry, but I don't have an answer for that. | 08:38 |
| geaden | ikonia_: ahh, i understand, but latest oracle instance client doesn't include tnsping((( So I haven't figured out how to install it yet | 08:39 |
| ikonia_ | geaden: the oracle 11 and 12 client include tnsping | 08:39 |
| Lachezar | cfhowlett: 10x anyway. I am mainly trying to find out if I'm the only one. | 08:39 |
| geaden | ikonia_: hmm, there was not tnsping in http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/linuxx86-64soft-092277.html | 08:40 |
| ikonia_ | geaden: it's in the sqlplus package isn't it ? | 08:41 |
| geaden | ikonia_: yes, there is sqlplus but no tnsping(( | 08:42 |
| ikonia_ | geaden: no, tnsping is included in the sqlplus package | 08:43 |
| ikonia_ | or at least always has been | 08:43 |
| ikonia_ | geaden: can your ubuntu machine connect to the Oracle host on ssh for example, or some other application ? | 08:45 |

| danny | hi guys. anyone have any idea how i would go about having ubuntu not auto full screen when i drag a window to the top of the bar? | 08:54 |
| ikonia_ | geaden: can you actually connect to the host in any other method | 08:56 |
| geaden | ikonia_: i can ping it, telnet it | 08:57 |
| ikonia_ | geaden: what are you telneting to the oracle port ? | 08:57 |
| geaden | ikonia_: yes | 08:57 |
| ikonia_ | geaden: so the Oracle port responds with a connection ? | 08:57 |
| geaden | Actual output is https://friendpaste.com/3WmhKQuGIbNhOsyjorOz5P | 08:58 |
| ikonia_ | geaden: ok, so there is a connection made | 08:59 |
| ikonia_ | geaden: that's good, so that means the problem is either down to the data you are sending with SQL Developer, or the response the server is giving | 08:59 |
| geaden | ikonia_: I have instance of Oracle Express in my host os and I can connect via sqldeveloper | 09:00 |
| ikonia_ | geaden: that doesn't change the fact though | 09:01 |
| geaden | ikonia_: from ubuntu | 09:01 |
| ikonia_ | geaden: sorry you can connect from ubuntu ? | 09:01 |
| ikonia_ | geaden: I thought you said you couldn't connect from ubuntu ? | 09:01 |
| geaden | ikonia_: I mean from ubuntu to database that is stored in host os, not to other database | 09:02 |
| faugusztin | geaden: just a quick check - does your ubuntu box recognizes your oracle database server via hostname ? | 09:02 |
| ikonia_ | geaden: that means nothing, you're not trying to connect to the database on the host - you're trying to connect to a different machine | 09:02 |
| ikonia_ | geaden: you have just proven there is a physical connection between your ubuntu VM and the network hosted Oracle machine | 09:02 |
| geaden | faugusztin: yes, I can host it | 09:03 |
| geaden | ikonia_: yes, correct | 09:03 |
| faugusztin | geaden: ok, did you tried telnet to port 1521 ? | 09:03 |
| ikonia_ | geaden: therefore the problem is either with a.) the data you are sending from sqldeveloper on your ubuntu VM to the remote Oracle machine 2.) the remote Oracle machine is not configured | 09:03 |
| geaden | faugusztin: yes https://friendpaste.com/3WmhKQuGIbNhOsyjorOz5P | 09:03 |
| geaden | ikonia_: I suppose the second choice is not as I can connect to it via SQLDeveloper from host os (win 7) | 09:04 |
| === gbyers[Away] is now known as g_byers | ||
| geaden | ikonia_: could it be the version issue. On windows sqlplus of version 11.2, and Oracle DB is 11.2, on ubuntu sqlplus version is 12.1 | 09:09 |
| geaden | ikonia_: ? | 09:09 |
| faugusztin | geaden: no, clients can connect to +/- 2 versions AFAIK | 09:09 |
| ikonia_ | geaden: what version is the database | 09:10 |
| ikonia_ | faugusztin: that's not strickly true | 09:10 |
| ikonia_ | Oracle 12 client should be able to connect to an Oracle 11.2 database though | 09:10 |
| geaden | ikonia_: Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production | 09:11 |
| === Luy1n is now known as Luyin | ||
| faugusztin | ikonia: especially as SQL Developer doesn't even uses the client, it goes through the JDBC driver | 09:11 |
| ikonia_ | more so yes | 09:11 |
| ikonia_ | howevever I thought he was now testing this through the client | 09:11 |
| geaden | faugusztin: I try both sql developer and sqlplus. | 09:11 |
| danny | hi guys. anyone have any idea how i would go about having ubuntu not auto full screen when i drag a window to the top of the bar? | 09:12 |
| geaden | ikonia_: sql developer gives me IO error network adapter couldn't establish connection, sqlplus - ORA12545 | 09:12 |
| ikonia_ | geaden: ok, so that suggests a networking problem | 09:13 |
| geaden | ikonia_: I put ip address of oracle server to /etc/hosts | 09:13 |
| === dstevens is now known as Goatboy | ||
| faugusztin | geaden: and is that host in hosts exactly the same as the one in listener.ora on the database server ? | 09:19 |
| geaden | faugusztin: I suppose, my colleague that can connect gave me | 09:19 |
| ObrienDave | danny, yes, make sure the window is not full screen before dragging | 09:20 |
| faugusztin | geaden: well you should know exactly what is there, because that is where it wants to connect | 09:20 |
| faugusztin | geaden: it could be missing a domain name, whatever - you need to have there exactly what is on the server, or to use the same DNS server where that name is entered | 09:21 |
| geaden | faugusztin: I can access domain name by entering http://my-oracle-domain:8080/apex | 09:22 |
| faugusztin | geaden: my point is - if the database server has "something.domain.name" in listener.ora and you entered only "something" in your hosts, then it results exactly in the error you are experiencing now | 09:23 |
| faugusztin | geaden: a more detailed explanation: http://www.moreajays.com/2013/03/ora-12545-connect-failed-because-target.html | 09:24 |
| geaden | faugusztin: I see... I should check... But the problem is that other colleague with this record in /etc/hosts can connect... | 09:24 |
| faugusztin | geaden: from linux box too ? or is that a windows box ? | 09:24 |
| geaden | faugusztin: from linux box | 09:25 |
| geaden | faugusztin: I couldn't make sqlplus gave me trace... sqlnet.ora is created as suggested but not tracefiles while connecting | 09:26 |
| faugusztin | geaden: interesting... anyway, the reason why i insist on you checking that hostname is that the process is pretty much this - you connect to 1521 via IP or hostname, that checks for the database and then it says in answer: "the communication will go through this hostname and use this hostname only". now if your client can't resolve that hostname, you end up with ORA-12545 because technically that hostname doesn't exist for your client computer | 09:27 |
| faugusztin | geaden: and next step could be just downloading a full oracle client from OTN, which has tnsping | 09:28 |

| Wiz_KeeD | anyone? | 10:40 |
| Rory | You can do that drfaustus but it might be easier to resize it and make a new partition in the free space - 7GiB is not very much space though | 10:40 |
| drfaustus | i mean i won't have to format it,it's ext4 | 10:41 |
| OerHeks | Wiz_KeeD, i see no incremental option in Deja-dub gui | 10:42 |
| drfaustus | Rory: surely i wouldn't use a 7 GB device to install it | 10:42 |
| Rory | drfaustus: What is currently on the ext4 partition? | 10:42 |
| Rory | drfaustus: If it only currently has 7GiB of free space, that's all you'd be doing anyway | 10:43 |

| faugusztin | ice9: my best guess is by the linux version of their app (it seems they have one for x86) | 10:45 |
| ice9 | faugusztin, i got 64bit! | 10:45 |
| drfaustus | Rory:i thought i could have them somewhere in the home folder | 10:45 |
| faugusztin | ice9: then you will have to install x86 compatibility libraries | 10:45 |
| ice9 | faugusztin, please give me the apt-get syntax to install them | 10:46 |
| Rory | drfaustus: Yes you can. Move them all to a folder called "my_media" or something then you can find it after the installation | 10:46 |
| faugusztin | ice9: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit bottom of the page | 10:47 |
| Rory | drfaustus: I'd recommend backing up that data and doing a clean installation (with format) on the partition though | 10:47 |
| drfaustus | Rory: i'ne got no space man | 10:47 |
| faugusztin | ice9: in short: apt-get install package-name:i386 | 10:47 |
| Rory | drfaustus: No, to a totally another drive | 10:48 |
| ice9 | faugusztin, the dependency x86 package is installed but the when I run the application it can't find it | 10:48 |
| ice9 | cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 10:48 |

| ice9 | faugusztin, http://pastebin.com/sLdFM425 | 10:52 |
| drfaustus | Rory: will this assign the whole 16.6 GB space to the system and keep the files ? | 10:52 |
| faugusztin | ice9: you are missing 32-bit libexpat | 10:52 |
| Rory | drfaustus: Yes, it will just use that partition as / without formatting. It won't overwrite your files unless they're conflicting | 10:53 |
| faugusztin | ice9: so do what this guy did http://www.bitsbythepound.com/installing-wink-on-64-bit-ubuntu-210.html | 10:53 |
| faugusztin | ice9: sudo ln -s /lib32/libexpat.so.1 /lib32/libexpat.so.0 | 10:53 |
| drfaustus | Rory: and how 2 avoid conflicting? | 10:54 |
| Rory | drfaustus: I mean, if you already have a file, say, /etc/fstab then the installer will overwrite it. | 10:56 |
| Rory | drfaustus: Obviously take a backup first | 10:56 |
| Rory | But that's standard for anything like installing an OS, if you care about the data on that partition | 10:57 |
| drfaustus | ok ,roy thanx a lot | 10:57 |
| drfaustus | ok Rory ,thanx a lot | 10:57 |
| Rory | No problem drfaustus good luck | 10:57 |
| drfaustus | Rory:one last question,R u sure about this? | 10:58 |
| Rory | Yes drfaustus as long as you don't check the "format" box your data will be fine. But still take a backup first | 10:58 |
| drfaustus | Rory: ok,buddy,c u later on | 10:59 |

| jamesbond | but in my case i confugerd my /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf file very well and i mention there where to find pxelinux file and all that | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | mfaroukg: in capitals it is: SUDO LSHW -C DISPLAY | 11:55 |
| jhutchins | jamesbond: If the system gets it's DHCP from the other server it won't get that information. | 11:56 |
| jamesbond | ok then i have to stop on dhcp right/ | 11:57 |
| aethelrick | jamesbond, BOTH DHCP servers must be configured correctly in order for this to work, I suggest disabling one server until you are sure your config works | 11:57 |
| mfaroukg | ActionParsnip, this the output http://pastebin.com/dq9XepJs | 11:57 |
| jamesbond | ok | 11:57 |
| ActionParsnip | mfaroukg: then you only have an Intel GPU | 11:58 |
| jamesbond | this solution can solve my problem | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | mfaroukg: so why are you installing Nvidia drivers? | 11:58 |
| mfaroukg | ActionParsnip, I read in the website about my problem and found that I should install the nvidia driver, there is a tag on the laptop says nvidia optimus and in the windows OS it shows that nvidia driver is installed and working | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | mfaroukg: but you dont have an nvidia GPU? | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | mfaroukg: didnt think to check that? | 12:00 |
| jamesbond | exit | 12:01 |
| mfaroukg | ActionParsnip, I need to remove the nvidia drivers ? | 12:03 |
| ActionParsnip | mfaroukg: I would they are of no value to you | 12:04 |
| ActionParsnip | mfaroukg: why didnt you check if you had an Nvidia GPU | 12:04 |
| mfaroukg | ActionParsnip, when I check and found in windows , it must be in ubuntu too isn't it? | 12:06 |
| nashant | Anyone any idea on why whenever I reboot I get 'kernel panic: not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)', but whenever I boot from cold it starts just fine? | 12:06 |

| cariveri | I have a got ubuntu (upgraded to 13.04) I wanted to install gnome shell. it worked, but due to problems I tried adding ppa gnome3-team. then updating/upgrading seem to have caused major dependency problems. so I removed the ppas and tried to reinstall from scratch. now im stuck. | 12:40 |

| xeeder | kielanmatt, i did install that package. | 13:31 |
| xeeder | after that i continued following remaining instructions | 13:31 |
| ikonia | IamTrying: why are you using the mainline kernel PPA rather than the stable kernels provided by the official stable ubuntu repos ? | 13:31 |

| IamTrying | ikonia, Main repo using apt-get | 13:55 |
| ikonia | xeeder: I've told you the problem | 13:55 |

| ikonia | the init system has changed | 13:56 |
| ikonia | xeeder: yes, on how to use ubuntu and the basics of the package manager, so you could install the correct package | 13:57 |
| IamTrying | ikonia, oh no, just submitted init 6, was i suppose to use sudo reboot? | 13:57 |
| ikonia | xeeder: did you read it | 13:57 |
| Rory | xeeder: It looks like you are missing some header files. Did you install libssl-dev as mentioned on line 2 of the instructions? | 13:57 |

| loadid_czech | IamTrying: it's not recomended that you edit the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file directly | 14:06 |
| ikonia | IamTrying: I told you what file to edit and what command to use to rebuild the config | 14:06 |
| IamTrying | loadid_czech, Where else then ??? plz | 14:06 |
| ikonia | IamTrying: what part of what I said is not clear ? | 14:06 |
| loadid_czech | you should make changes in the /etc/default/grub file and the "update-grub" to make the changes take effect | 14:06 |
| IamTrying | ikonia, /etc/default/grub here i do not have 0 or 1 | 14:06 |

| ikonia | IamTrying: yes, and I told 0 is the first kernel in the menu list, 1 is the second, 2 is the third etc, | 14:08 |
| ikonia | IamTrying: so set it to the right kernel and rebuild the config | 14:08 |
| IamTrying | ikonia, OHHHHHHHHHHH IC. i thought it was timer | 14:08 |

| IamTrying | ikonia, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6132839/ here kernels line have no numbering | 14:10 |
| loadid_czech | is it currently booting into the wrong kernel ikonia? | 14:10 |
| ikonia | IamTrying: are you kidding me ??? | 14:10 |
| ikonia | IamTrying: you're able to diagnose this as a kernel problem, but you're not able to grasp the basics of 0 being the first entry in the grub menu 1, being the second entry in the grub menu | 14:11 |
| HackerII | doh! | 14:11 |
| IamTrying | ikonia, no but when you have Grub menu you have only one Selection "Ubuntu" | 14:11 |
| IamTrying | ikonia, then the menu 0 means only to "Ubuntu" if i now set to 4, here is no 4 | 14:11 |
| ikonia | IamTrying: the grub menu shows the installed kernels | 14:12 |
| ace_striker | so problem is i cancelled my apt-get install texlive-full in between and when i again issued the command sudo apt-get install texlive-full it keep waiting for header[0%] .. any help would be nice ..thanx | 14:12 |
| IamTrying | ikonia, i close my eyes, and putting 4 | 14:12 |
| loadid_czech | ace_striker: try sudo apt-get --fix-missing | 14:12 |
| ikonia | IamTrying: why ? | 14:13 |
| ikonia | IamTrying: why don't you actually just work out the right number, using the information I've given you | 14:13 |
| IamTrying | ikonia, because line 145 showing in 4 : menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-44-generic' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { | 14:13 |
| ace_striker | loadid_czech: thanks for reply...i tried sudo apt-get --fix-missing ,sudo apt-get update ,sudo apt-get upgrade ..but still waiting for headers | 14:13 |
| ikonia | IamTrying: that's what you want to work from - go for it | 14:14 |
| IamTrying | ikonia, yes so 0 till 3 is still kernel 3.5... and from 4 starts 3.2. | 14:14 |
| Diegonat | can i create a link file in two different devices? | 14:14 |
| loadid_czech | maybe thinks it's still in process and you need a reboot and try again ace_striker | 14:14 |
| IamTrying | ikonia, why should i not use update-grub2 but use update-grub ? | 14:14 |
| ikonia | IamTrying: update-grub2 works fine | 14:15 |
| loadid_czech | if you have grub2 installed use update-grub2 | 14:15 |
| IamTrying | ikonia, kernel 3.2 is is grub2 or grub1 ? | 14:15 |
| loadid_czech | i don't think it makes a difference though | 14:15 |
| ikonia | IamTrying: the kernel is nothing to do with grub | 14:15 |
| IamTrying | loadid_czech, i have not installed any grub i used default Ubuntu liveCD. | 14:15 |
| loadid_czech | IamTrying: you have installed grub | 14:15 |
| ikonia | IamTrying: again - I'm baffled how you can work out kernel problems (or claim to) but have no idea how grub/the kernel works | 14:15 |
| ace_striker | loadid_czech: i already tried that too..no luck. | 14:15 |
| loadid_czech | ace_striker: try changing your download server | 14:16 |
| IamTrying | ikonia, i get confused with random OS, fedora, ubuntu , arch confuse me with there random setups. | 14:16 |
| IamTrying | Thank you Guru ikonia | 14:16 |
| ikonia | IamTrying: that is the same thing across all linux distributions | 14:16 |
| ikonia | IamTrying: so there is no confusion as it is the same in all linux distros | 14:16 |
| ace_striker | loadid_czech: also tried that..what ever available on askubuntu..regarding this. | 14:16 |
| ikonia | so that doesn't really make sense either | 14:16 |
| loadid_czech | ace_striker: try booting into the recovery console and | 14:16 |
| loadid_czech | "fix problems" | 14:17 |
| ace_striker | then..same command ? | 14:17 |
| IamTrying | ikonia, i set 4 and rebooted but its not coming online now. | 14:17 |
| ace_striker | loadid_czech: then same command ? | 14:18 |
| loadid_czech | i think it will automatically try and download and install missing packages, you may need to hardwire into your network and select the "enable networking" option before "fix problems" ace_striker | 14:18 |
| ikonia | IamTrying: probably because that was the wrong option | 14:18 |
| IamTrying | ikonia, OH NO - its in remote location . | 14:18 |
| IamTrying | ikonia, shit.... | 14:18 |
| ikonia | IamTrying: then paying better attention to detail would seem prudent | 14:18 |
| loadid_czech | ace_striker: "fix problems" will attempt to download and install missing or half downloaded packages | 14:18 |
| ikonia | IamTrying: there is no need for the language | 14:18 |
| loadid_czech | although waiting for headers sounds like a connection problem to me | 14:18 |
| ace_striker | loadid_czech: let me try that...thank a lot | 14:18 |
| ace_striker | fix problem is command or option | 14:19 |
| IamTrying | ikonia, will it auto reboot or its frozen somewhere now in the grub screen? | 14:19 |
| loadid_czech | when you boot into the recovery mode from grub it will boot you into a console that will give you a few options... "enable networking" is one and "fix problems" is another | 14:19 |
| ikonia | IamTrying: did you set the fallback option ? | 14:19 |
| ace_striker | ok.. | 14:20 |
| IamTrying | ikonia, you have not mention any just i changed that line from 0 to 4 | 14:20 |
| ikonia | IamTrying: then no, it will just sit there | 14:20 |
| IamTrying | Oh God. not today | 14:20 |
| jolaren | OerHeks: Thanks for the suggestion, I used Gifsicle.. worked fine | 14:20 |
| ace_striker | loadid_czech: but the package is not fully downloaded..so can both happen (enable networking and fix problems) | 14:20 |
| === BradCrittenden is now known as bac | ||
| IamTrying | ikonia, you should have told me no. i thought i was doing right. its in another country and now its friday. | 14:22 |
| IamTrying | Thank you anyway. i did not expected this will sit there now in Grub menu. | 14:22 |
| ikonia | IamTrying: I did tell you the right information | 14:23 |
| loadid_czech | ace_striker: the recovery console won't boot you all the way into your GUI, it will put you into a "half-booted" state. you will have to "enable networking" to turn your network card on (wi-fi may not be enabled - hard wire only) and at that point "fix problems" should attempt to restart your package upgrade | 14:23 |
| loadid_czech | just boot into the recovery console from grub, let it boot until it asks what you want to do and see if you can figure it out from there ace_striker | 14:24 |
| loadid_czech | you do understand what I mean by recovery from grub right ace_striker? | 14:24 |
| xeeder | ikonia, did it!! finally :) Thanks man! | 14:27 |

| Rory | josh_____: Has it ever worked? | 14:37 |
| josh_____ | No it was a fresh install from yesterday | 14:37 |
| josh_____ | The PC does work though | 14:37 |
| josh_____ | It had 9. something yesterday morning | 14:38 |
| xeeder | Rory, i have 400+GB of data stored in bitlocker as of now; so i cant just switch to a new encryption tech :/ | 14:38 |

| josh_____ | I get the login screen, thats fine... When I authenticate it displays an error saying it failed to load Unity | 14:40 |
| wizonesolutions | I'm running Ubuntu inside a VM, and I had to force-restart my host machine the other day. This caused fsck to run and "delete unused blocks" rampantly, and now a lot of my system files seem to be gone. This is not a super-big deal; I can build a new machine and set up what I need. But I want to get just enough working so I can get off some data for work I was working on. Currently I am getting this when trying to sudo apt-get | 14:41 |
| wizonesolutions | autoremove and subsequently sudo dpkg --configure -a, which it tells me to run: dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0073' near line 0: field name 'libcrypto' must be followed by colon. I am following http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12093363#post12093363. | 14:41 |

| Rory | PrideAndSorrow: What do you mean none of them can see the other? | 14:46 |
| Rory | josh_____: If it doesn't work for the guest session either then that means it's likely system-wide | 14:46 |
| Rory | josh_____: It's possible something went wrong during the download, installation or creation of the installation medium | 14:46 |
| josh_____ | I know that Rory, how can I solve? | 14:46 |
| Rory | josh_____: Did you check the integrity of the install media before installing? There's an option on the boot menu when you boot from the live media to do this | 14:47 |

| fahadash | I don't really care about the data, I can format that drive to be empty... I just want to know if its good | 14:56 |

| OnkelTem | daftykins: clean install on MacBook Pro. Installation in UI started working after I added 'nomodeset' to kernet params. Now after installation Ubuntu never starts | 15:45 |
| smaudet | Rory: computer doesn't seem to do anything after that, I have to restart it afterwards | 15:45 |

| ocooel | Problem with LUKs and ubuntu-root. | 15:45 |
| ocooel | Need to boot into old kernel version in grub for access to ubuntu 13.04. | 15:46 |
| daftykins | OnkelTem: ah i see, are you able to retrieve the /var/log/Xorg.0.log from the installation to see what it's doing and tripping up on? i'd guess you have an nvidia optimus style setup that's breaking | 15:46 |
| smaudet | Its a Lenovo G700, I've turned Secure Boot off, and I've turned off Fast Boot (I've got Windows 8 on here, want to see that I can boot something before I try wiping my drive) | 15:46 |
| OnkelTem | daftykins: how can I see if I can't get into console? | 15:46 |
| Rory | smaudet: Did you read the instructions here? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 15:46 |
| smaudet | Rory: yes, I found that, the instructions are to turn stuff off, which I've tried, to no avail | 15:47 |
| daftykins | OnkelTem: boot the liveCD again and pastebin the file from the filesystem | 15:47 |
| OnkelTem | daftykins: let me try recovery mode rioot console | 15:47 |

| ocooel | ActionParsnip: Grub is part of kernel yes..? | 15:52 |
| smaudet | Rory: if you know anything or somewhere else to look I'd appreciate it, otherwise I'm going to have to try a non-Ubuntu distro next. | 15:52 |
| OnkelTem | daftykins: when I boot from "liveCD" (Ubuntu 13.04 desktop on USB flash stick), I get into console. Xorg doesn't start | 15:53 |

| Marlenee | can someone help me in installing ajaxplorer on ubuntu server ? | 15:54 |
| daftykins | OnkelTem: you could mount the filesystem of the installation to get to the Xorg log | 15:54 |
| daftykins | OnkelTem: but if you installed with updates this time, as in let it download updates, reinstalling without updates may help | 15:54 |
| OnkelTem | daftykins: but I have no network so I can't publish it | 15:54 |
| smaudet | Rory: the tutorial did mention using 12.04.2 or greater, so I did wonder if perhaps only LTS was properly supported on uefi | 15:55 |
| daftykins | OnkelTem: no flash drive to take a copy, boot OS X or use another computer? | 15:55 |

| CatKiller | OnkelTem: one word: Fuse | 15:56 |
| smaudet | OnkelTem: ugh, try macfuse | 15:56 |
| OnkelTem | ok | 15:57 |
| daftykins | OnkelTem: the ubuntu liveCD/USB... :) | 15:57 |
| CatKiller | OnkelTem: example: http://sourceforge.net/projects/fuse-ext2/ | 15:57 |
| CatKiller | works on Mac OS X | 15:57 |
| smaudet | OnkelTem: be warned though, the fuse implementation on mac is/was something of a hack, thanks to Finder being annoying, according to the guy who wrote it at least | 15:57 |
| CatKiller | with Fuse (File System in User Space) you can mount many different filesystems in userspace (no root access required) | 15:57 |
| smaudet | OnkelTem: don't try to write anything using Fuse | 15:58 |
| smaudet | OnkelTem: I'd recommend just reading stuff | 15:58 |
| CatKiller | The fuse driver is in the kernel, and the individual filesystem drivers are ran in userspace | 15:58 |
| CatKiller | brilliant actually | 15:58 |
| CatKiller | but a bit slopw | 15:58 |
| CatKiller | *slow | 15:58 |
| FloodBot1 | CatKiller: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 15:58 |
| smaudet | CatKiller: yeah its nice but as I said it could be better implemented I think | 15:58 |
| CatKiller | smaudet: How? | 15:59 |
| smaudet | CatKiller: *shrug* I just know that I've used it and its been unreliable/tanked drives before | 15:59 |
| smaudet | The mac implementation isn't as good as the linux one | 15:59 |
| CatKiller | smaudet: I mainly use it on OSX and I never had an issue. I used it to copy gigabytes and thousands of files | 16:00 |
| smaudet | CatKiller: to or from the drive? | 16:00 |
| smaudet | CatKiller: I've only ever run into problems when writing | 16:00 |
| CatKiller | smaudet: But here we're talking transferring a single file or something so it really doesn't amtter | 16:00 |
| CatKiller | *matter | 16:00 |
| CatKiller | yes writing I was | 16:01 |
| nightdrever | could anyone give me a standard set of sources......Software sources under other sources??......ive added a few and i might have deleted some id like to restore it to default | 16:01 |

| Rory | nightdrever: sudo apt-get update | 16:03 |
| nightdrever | i mean change my repos from copy and paste from that site | 16:04 |
| Plouj | hi | 16:05 |
| Rory | nightdrever: You said you changed them before? Do the same again, edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list | 16:05 |
| Rory | nightdrever: Don't forget there are also lists in the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 16:05 |
| Plouj | How do I pass -j10 to make when I execute the second last command in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Systemtap#How_do_I_build_a_debuginfo_kernel_if_one_isn.27t_available.3F ? | 16:05 |
| nightdrever | what sources can i delete in list.d? | 16:05 |
| Rory | nightdrever: All of them, if you want it to be like default | 16:06 |
| nightdrever | and how do i delete as the option isnt avaliable? | 16:06 |
| Rory | nightdrever: basically, repositories are listed in the file /etc/apt/sources.list and in all the files in the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 16:06 |
| nightdrever | well i cant delete list.d?????? | 16:06 |
| Rory | No nightdrever you just want to to delete the files in that directory | 16:07 |
| nightdrever | i cant | 16:07 |
| zykotick9 | Plouj: keep in mind, that lucid desktop is EOL, i hope this is server. | 16:07 |
| Rory | nightdrever: You can leave them there if they're things you're using | 16:07 |
| nightdrever | move to rubbish bin is not there | 16:07 |
| nightdrever | well non selectable | 16:08 |
| Rory | nightdrever: You will need to be root, and use the command line | 16:08 |
| Rory | nightdrever: I'd recommend not deleting them | 16:08 |
| nightdrever | ok | 16:08 |
| Rory | nightdrever: Just replace the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list with what you generated from that site | 16:08 |
| Rory | nightdrever: then run sudo apt-get update and let me know if you get any errors | 16:08 |
| Phered | Hello, | 16:08 |
| Phered | I have a question. I've installed Ubuntu Server on my hard disk for a home | 16:08 |
| Phered | server. I use LVM. I am going to upgrade my home server by adding several hard | 16:08 |
| Phered | disks. My idea was to add a SSD for the OS, that way the hard disks can spin | 16:08 |
| Phered | down when inactive. Now my question is: can I do a clean install of | 16:08 |
| FloodBot1 | Phered: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 16:08 |
| Phered | Ubuntu Server 12.04.3 on the SSD and expand the "media partition" on the | 16:08 |
| Rory | !sudo | nightdrever | 16:08 |
| ubottu | nightdrever: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 16:08 |
| zykotick9 | nightdrever: ahhh, just FYI, but if you still have packages installed from any 3rd party repo, then yanking the sources for those packages out, might not be the best idea. apt won't downgrade packages... | 16:09 |
| Rory | nightdrever: if you just want to make sure you aren't *missing* any repos, then don't delete anything, just add :) | 16:10 |
| nightdrever | ok thanks guys | 16:10 |
| Rory | nightdrever: You can also use the GUI tool software-properties-gtk to add and modify repos | 16:10 |

My idea was to add a SSD for the OS, that way the hard disks can spin down when inactive. Now my question is: can I do a clean install of Ubuntu Server 12.04.3 on the SSD and expand the "media partition" on the already used hard disk to the full disk size? That way | 16:10 |
| Phered | I wil have the SSD for the OS and the hard disks are only for backups/media. | 16:10 |
| gordonjcp | Phered: yes, as long as the partition is unmounted when you fiddle with it | 16:11 |
| gordonjcp | Phered: it's also a good idea to make a backup if you can | 16:11 |
| Rory | Phered: Yes, but to be super safe do all your partition resizing from a LiveCD, and make backups first | 16:12 |

| ActionParsnip | A1Recon: is software centre open? | 16:43 |
| ActionParsnip | A1Recon: or synaptic etc... | 16:43 |
| ActionParsnip | A1Recon: or are updates running in another terminal? | 16:43 |
| A1Recon | ActionParsnip: It was updating.... | 16:43 |
| ActionParsnip | A1Recon: then thats why the packages are locked.... | 16:43 |
| ActionParsnip | A1Recon: only one process can access the packages at one time | 16:44 |
| A1Recon | OK | 16:44 |
| A1Recon | Thanks!! | 16:44 |
| ActionParsnip | A1Recon: same winth the Windows installer too | 16:44 |
| zzxx | ActionParsnip: Sorry, you seem to have misunderstood my question. I am not trying to remedy a problem with the gpu, or tempurature issues. In fact, there is no true "problem" in the sense that nothing is broken, or running in an errenious fashion. The reason I come here for help is that when I adjust the brightness of my lcd screen with the brightness buttons on my keyboard, the intensity of the light on my screen jumps from very dim, | 16:45 |
| zzxx | however, when I adjust the brightness via the gui, I can select with much finer control the brighness (there are more stops on the slider so to speak.), so i am wondering if instead of jumping say 10 stops each time I press a brightness button, have it only jump 2 or 3. | 16:45 |
| OnkelTem | How to press Ctrl-Alt-F1 on MacBook? | 16:46 |
| Plouj | zykotick9: Sure. I think my question still applies to non-EOL releases though. | 16:47 |
| zykotick9 | Plouj: if you are using Lucid desktop, upgrade to a supported release - then feel free to ask again (if problem persists). | 16:48 |
| zzxx | hmmm, it seems at though ActionParsnip has left. If anyone else cares to take a stab at my question above, it would be welomed and appreciated ^^ | 16:49 |

| mydog2 | hi.. anyone here using ssh? | 16:49 |
| gordonjcp | !anyone | mydog2 | 16:50 |
| ubottu | mydog2: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 16:50 |
| zzxx | mydog2: I am. | 16:50 |
| mydog2 | in particular, ssh with multiple targeted servers, so you have multiple priv/pub key pairs? | 16:50 |
| zzxx | nope. nm | 16:50 |
| mshaw | just ask the question | 16:51 |
| mydog2 | gordonjcp, - had to be the dude who did this eh.. coldn't wait for the rest of the question.. | 16:51 |
| mydog2 | hey mshaw | 16:51 |
| zzxx | mshaw: ^^agreed | 16:51 |
| mydog2 | basically.. trying to figure out the process for setting up multiple keys.. | 16:51 |
| gordonjcp | multiple keys in what sense? | 16:51 |
| * mshaw heads over to #recipes and asks 'hey, do you guys eat?' | 16:52 | |
| zykotick9 | mshaw: it's "hey does anyone eat" ;) | 16:52 |
| nick688 | hi again | 16:52 |
| mydog2 | i thought/tried to create the multiple priv keys and stored them in the /user/.ssh/id_rsa_user1 id_rsa_user2 and of course added the pub keys to the targeted authkeyfile | 16:52 |
| mrrcp | hell | 16:53 |
| mrrcp | hello | 16:53 |
| mrrcp | i am trying to prevent root user in ssh... PermitRootLogin no is the correct format right? | 16:53 |
| mydog2 | this process works if i have a single user, and simply use the id_rsa file | 16:53 |
| gordonjcp | mydog2: that doesn't sound like a real path | 16:53 |
| gordonjcp | mydog2: what exactly are you trying to do? | 16:53 |
| mydog2 | i then tried to access the connection using ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa_foo ... and this didn't work... i get an identify file not active | 16:54 |
| mydog2 | error | 16:54 |
| gordonjcp | mydog2: none of that sounds like sane behaviour | 16:54 |
| gordonjcp | mydog2: what exactly are you trying to do? | 16:54 |
| mydog2 | mrrcp, - that's correct | 16:54 |

| SpeedFire_laptop | Nobody have an idea how to fix a touchpad cliking bug ? | 16:55 |
| gordonjcp | nick688: probably | 16:55 |
| mydog2 | gordonjcp, - told you.. trying to have multiple/separate priv/pub key created so a user can login without a passwd to two different systems | 16:55 |
| gordonjcp | mydog2: so, ssh from one local system to two remote systems? | 16:56 |
| gordonjcp | mydog2: copy the same pubkey to both remote systems... | 16:56 |
| mydog2 | gordonjcp, - i can use a single priv key.. i want multiple keys.. one for each system | 16:56 |
| mydog2 | gordonjcp, - your solution works if i use the same priv key.. i do not want that.. | 16:56 |
| gordonjcp | that's basically not a sane way to do it | 16:57 |
| gordonjcp | one system, one private key | 16:57 |

| mnemonicj | i'd rather never have to invoke sudo | 16:58 |
| jrib | mrrcp: why do you say "users" with an 's'? There is only one root user | 16:58 |
| nick688 | FlexNet detected | 16:59 |
| jrib | mnemonicj: you can't use apt without root access (usually gained using sudo) | 16:59 |
| mnemonicj | thanks jrib | 16:59 |
| mrrcp | well root user | 17:01 |
| nick688 | see u | 17:01 |
| nick688 | rebooting | 17:01 |
| SpeedFire_laptop | Nobody have an idea how to fix a touchpad cliking bug ? | 17:01 |
| mydog2 | gordonjcp, - then you don't get what i want... there are plenty of reasons to use multiple keys.. but that's what i'm shooting for.. | 17:01 |
| jrib | mrrcp: then read about PermitRootLogin in « man sshd_config » | 17:01 |
| mrrcp | ive read it | 17:02 |
| mrrcp | its not working | 17:02 |
| jrib | mrrcp: what exactly did you try? | 17:02 |
| mrrcp | i placed PermitRootLogin no into /etc/sshd. | 17:03 |
| mrrcp | ,... | 17:03 |
| mrrcp | uh i figured it out lol | 17:03 |
| mrrcp | wrong file | 17:03 |
| jrib | mrrcp: /etc/sshd is a directory | 17:03 |

| bwayne_ | hi guys. looks like I've managed to lock up Unity. is there a restartX or similar command? | 17:34 |
| bwayne_ | <cntrl><alt><backspace> seems to not restart X. | 17:35 |
| puff | bwayne_: kill gdm? Or whatever unity replaced gdm with... | 17:35 |
| bwayne_ | thx puff. i'll try that. | 17:36 |
| zykotick9 | bwayne_: ctrl-alt-backspace isn't enabled by default. can you login to ctrl+alt+f1? if so try "sudo service lightdm restart" or gdm/kdm if you use those instead. | 17:36 |
| bwayne_ | zykotick9: yeah. I'm on tty2 right now. i'll give it a whirl. thx. | 17:37 |
| bejker | bwayne_: press ctrl+alt+F1 you go to tt1 and then log in to root and stop gdm | 17:37 |
| bejker | then start gdm and press ctrl+alt+F7 to go back to X | 17:38 |
| zykotick9 | bejker: "log in to root" is never the right answer for ubuntu... | 17:38 |
| zykotick9 | bejker: further, ubuntu uses lightdm not gdm by default | 17:38 |
| bejker | zykotick9: how u want stop service as user? | 17:38 |
| zykotick9 | bejker: using sudo... | 17:38 |
| bejker | sudo = root whats diferent? | 17:38 |
| Fuchs | bwayne_: alt + sysrq (prtsc) + k would restart it as ctrl alt backspace did, that's just a minor sidenote, though | 17:38 |
| bwayne_ | okay. got it all back. thx guys. rhythmbox plugin bork bork bork. | 17:39 |
| k1l | !sudo | bejker | 17:39 |
| ubottu | bejker: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 17:39 |
| puff | bwayne_: Personally I find ctrl-alt-backspace a pain, I more often restart by accident than anything, but if you want it, install the dontzap package. | 17:39 |
| bejker | k1l: i know for what is sudo | 17:39 |
| zykotick9 | Fuchs: i've never had much luck with alt+sysrq+k X rarely comes back. | 17:39 |
| puff | Hm, dontzap appears to have gone away. | 17:39 |
| puff | bwayne_: Hm, dontzap appears to have gone away. | 17:39 |
| bwayne_ | puff: doing it manually doesn't bother me. | 17:39 |
| k1l | bejker: there is no activated root account on a ubuntu machine. so the ubuntu way is to use sudo | 17:40 |
| puff | bwayne_: Cool. | 17:40 |
| bejker | k1l: but for me is no diferent to use sudo command or sudo -i and then command | 17:40 |
| splic | Hello, I have a persistant liveCD that has locked up, is there any way to power it off gracefully (without corrupting it's state)? The screen still does not turn on and I've checked my router and it has a DHCP lease, but does not respond to ping/ssh. Thank you. | 17:40 |
| puff | bwayne_: Also, this is neat: http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=787 | 17:40 |
| testnickname2345 | I have Ubuntu Server installed. I have a video game server running in a telnet window that gives me updates me to errors and what not. If I bring up a new telnet window can I open that game server from that window to watch the server messages? | 17:40 |
| k1l | bejker: please stick to the ubuntu way in here. especially when its advised to beginners | 17:40 |
| Fuchs | testnickname2345: you probably want tmux or screen | 17:40 |
| zykotick9 | !reisub | splic you can try this | 17:41 |
| ubottu | splic you can try this: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 17:41 |
| testnickname2345 | Fuchs thanks ill look into tmux | 17:41 |
| === ginger_ is now known as moorvogi | ||
| splic | zykotick9: Thank you | 17:41 |
| puff | Hm, I'm having problems getting netflix-desktop to run on raring. It just silently fails, does nothing. I can't find any sort of --verbose or -debug option to give me more info. | 17:41 |
| Fuchs | testnickname2345: basically you can open a tmux session, start whatever (e.g. the gameserver) in it, then you can attach/detach to and from that session from ssh (I assume not telnet) sessions | 17:42 |
| puff | testnickname2345: screen is awesome and tmux is screen's chosen successor. | 17:42 |
| moorvogi | i can't get ubuntu to join a .local domain. i've changed avahi's config so its .alocal instead of local and still no go. i can ping the dc but if i put in the FQDN of the dc... it wont ping. any thoughts? | 17:42 |
| testnickname2345 | puff so you think screens is better? | 17:43 |
| bwayne | thx for the help guys. you really came through. | 17:43 |
| testnickname2345 | puff if i can't get this stuff to work is there a normal way to send commands to a running service that doesn't have focus in my current screen? | 17:44 |
| nashant | Anyone any idea on why whenever I reboot I get 'kernel panic: not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)', but whenever I boot from cold it starts just fine? I've tried reinstalling grub, but to no avail. And when I try holding shift to enter the grub menu after rebooting, no menu, still the kernel panic | 17:45 |
| puff | testnickname2345: No, I think tmux is better. So does the guy who maintains screen. | 17:45 |
| puff | testnickname2345: tmux is basically a from-the-ground-up rewrite of screen, with cleaner internals and hence easier to maintan and extend. | 17:46 |
| Achi||es | hi | 17:46 |
| Achi||es | i repaired boot on ubuntu at last | 17:46 |

| Achi||es | but i cant connect to other network via xchat | 17:46 |
| puff | testnickname2345: I'm unclear what you want to do, re: sending commands etc. | 17:47 |
| Achi||es | hi | 17:47 |
| Achi||es | it says misspelled | 17:48 |
| Achi||es | unknown network :S | 17:48 |
| Achi||es | doesnt /server -m irc.network.com work here ? | 17:48 |
| Achi||es | on xCHat ? | 17:48 |
| testnickname2345 | puff example in one screen instance I open a java -jar minecraft.jar is there a way in another screen to send a server command to that running proccess | 17:48 |
| puff | testnickname2345: Screen and tmux are what you call virtual terminal software. Terminal meaning tty. Virtual meaning that screen or tmux run on top of the OS and pretend to be a terminal. | 17:48 |
| whoever | hi all need some help with libusb. I am installing razercfg, and i keep gettting Could not find library "libusb-1.0" with header libusb.h | 17:49 |
| whoever | when i run cmake | 17:49 |
| whoever | and i installed libusb from the repos , can someon asssist | 17:49 |
| puff | testnickname2345: The original main use for screen was equivalent to what you now do by opening multiple GUI terminal windows and running telnet in each one. | 17:49 |
| Achi||es | hello ? | 17:49 |
| whoever | Achi||es: hello | 17:49 |
| Achi||es | i cant connect to another network from xchat | 17:50 |
| Achi||es | how can i ? | 17:50 |
| Achi||es | the command /server -m irc.icq.com doesnt work | 17:50 |
| puff | testnickname2345: Back In The Day you couldn't open multiple terminals, and in particular you were using a single app, controllnig dialup connection, to get to the unix server. You weren't connecting to the unix server via TCP/IP but rather via a non-multiplexed modem connection. | 17:50 |
| serban | phew, just panic'd a bit. Where does ubuntu store the logs of packages that were installed/removed/etc? | 17:50 |
| puff | testnickname2345: So you'd run screen and then screen would provide multiple windows, each running their own shell prompt. You switch between windows by hitting a control key. | 17:51 |
| zykotick9 | serban: check /var/log/apt/history.log | 17:51 |
| puff | testnickname2345: But the other really nifty thing screen could do is detach/reattach, sou you could detach, drop the connection, and later on reconnect and reattach the screen session and everything is still running. | 17:52 |
| testnickname2345 | puff wow thank god for multiple proccesses | 17:52 |
| serban | ty | 17:52 |
| puff | testnickname2345: Yeah, well screen is basically funneling and multiplexing multiple processes through a single dialup connection. These days we connect to everything via tcp/ip, so we don't need it as much, but I still find it invaluable for detach/reattach. | 17:53 |
| testnickname2345 | puff oh wait does that mean if i close a telnet season from my windows it will close the server I booted using the telnet season | 17:53 |
| puff | testnickname2345: What sorts of commands do you want to send to the running process? | 17:53 |
| Achi||es | am i invisible ? | 17:53 |
| testnickname2345 | puff the word "stop" | 17:54 |
| puff | testnickname2345: Yes, unless you first run screen, which starts a screen session, and then in the screen's first window, you run the server. | 17:54 |
| testnickname2345 | puff or the work "op player" | 17:54 |
| puff | testnickname2345: Did you write the java code yourself? | 17:54 |
| zykotick9 | testnickname2345: telnet should be avoided at all costs (passwords are sent in clear text), you REALLY should look into ssh (putty is a win client). | 17:54 |
| puff | testnickname2345: Yeah, what zykotick9 said. | 17:54 |
| testnickname2345 | puff no its a pretty well knowen game. although i have made a few plugins for it | 17:55 |
| puff | testnickname2345: Generally speaking, most programs, you communicate with them via sockets. | 17:55 |
| puff | testnickname2345: So do you want to write a program to send these commands, or what? | 17:55 |
| testnickname2345 | puff ya but not when your on the machine your communicating with | 17:56 |
| puff | testnickname2345: If you're on the machine you're communicating with, why are you telnetting? | 17:56 |
| testnickname2345 | puff oh umm telnet or no tell net | 17:56 |
| puff | testnickname2345: Sorry, were you referring to my comment about sockets? if so, then no, most programs use sockets even within the same machine. | 17:57 |
| testnickname2345 | telnet just allows me to use the computer from up stairs | 17:57 |
| puff | testnickname2345: Well, ports. | 17:57 |
| puff | testnickname2345: it's still a really bad idea to use telnet. | 17:57 |
| puff | testnickname2345: Especially if you're using wireless. | 17:57 |
| whoever | and i can locate libusb.h and it returns : locate libusb.h | 17:57 |
| whoever | /usr/include/libusb-1.0/libusb.h | 17:57 |
| puff | testnickname2345: Defense in depth. | 17:57 |
| testnickname2345 | puff wow that intresting never new sockets where used that way. I only used them for coding stuff for internet / network | 17:57 |
| puff | testnickname2345: What languages/platforms? | 17:58 |
| testnickname2345 | puff just java stuff | 17:58 |
| locsmif_ | Hi all. I was looking at https://launchpad.net/whosthere , which was supposed to be Ubuntu's portal to Whatsapp, but it says "discontinued". Okay... a bit terse.. So is there an alternative? | 17:58 |
| testnickname2345 | puff bit of php VBScript and a insainly small amount of C++ | 17:59 |
| puff | testnickname2345: okay, so if you use tomcat, the default config (which you should change by the way) is for tomcat to listen on port 8005 for requests to tomcat to shutdown. | 17:59 |
| === mike is now known as Guest24276 | ||
| testnickname2345 | puff tomcat being what a alternative to telnet for controlling the machine downstairs? | 18:00 |
| gordonjcp | testnickname2345: don't use telnet, use ssh | 18:00 |
| puff | testnickname2345: And the default arrangement to use tomcat (which is not a good idea these days, by the way :-) is to run an apache server and have the apache server serve all the static data, and forward servlet engine traffic to tomcat via apache mod_proxy, over port 8009. | 18:00 |
| puff | testnickname2345: No, tomcat being the most common java web application server, I was trying to give you examples you'd be familiar with. | 18:01 |
| puff | testnickname2345: What gordonjcp said. | 18:01 |
| gordonjcp | testnickname2345: telnet has significant horrible problems | 18:01 |
| gordonjcp | although to be fair, you don't have to worry about the NSA backdooring your crypto | 18:01 |
| gordonjcp | so, there's *that* | 18:02 |
| puff | testnickname2345: Never use telnet to connection from one machine to another machine, even if you're inside a secure network - because you're wrong if you think you are. | 18:02 |
| testnickname2345 | gordonjcp puff good to know | 18:02 |
| puff | testnickname2345: Using telnet is like communicating with your bank via postcards. | 18:02 |
| gordonjcp | telnet is *great* for some things | 18:02 |
| puff | testnickname2345: Or more like communicating with your bank via smoke signals. ANYBODY who bothers to look can see what you're saying. | 18:02 |
| gordonjcp | just bear in mind that there is effectively no authentication and no encryption | 18:02 |
| gordonjcp | telnet is *fine* if you don't care about that | 18:03 |
| testnickname2345 | gordonjcp actually I was planning on using it over the internet so you might have saved me allot of greif | 18:04 |
| gordonjcp | testnickname2345: yeah, use ssh if it's going to be public-facing | 18:04 |
| testnickname2345 | gordonjcp puff I know almost nothing about internet security lol | 18:04 |
| puff | testnickname2345: Okay, so... if you need to run this server, then a) run it under screen or tmux so you can detach and reattach. b) if you need to write something to automatically interact with this server, check out the expect tool. | 18:04 |
| testnickname2345 | puff will do I'll go do some reading on tmux | 18:05 |
| testnickname2345 | puff thanks again | 18:05 |
| puff | testnickname2345: There are also tools like puppet, chef, etc, but from what little I know of them, they are not intended to handle interactive stuff. | 18:07 |

| Rory | Sc0rp10n: It depends where you are seeing the crash report | 18:41 |

| zykotick9 | !notunity | nick____ | 18:58 |
| ubottu | nick____: 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. | 18:58 |

| arayaq | nick____: if you want to. There's no important differente from using apt-get or the store | 19:00 |
| Rory | !mate | nick____ | 19:00 |
| nick____ | but i hate after that | 19:00 |
| NewbieNo1 | thsi is what my grub file looks like now: http://pastebin.com/ezxJkvkX | 19:01 |
| bejker | wafflejock: i have ubuntu 12.04 with KDE so is kubuntu? or ubuntu still?:P | 19:01 |
| zykotick9 | nick____: 10.04 desktop is EOL (face facts), use gnome3's fallback/classic whatever it's called - if you want a similar environment. many went to xfce. | 19:01 |
| nick____ | Rory: u made me mate ? :p | 19:01 |
| Rory | Do we not have Mate factoid? nick____ there is a desktop environment called Mate which is a fork of Gnome 2 http://wiki.mate-desktop.org/download#ubuntu | 19:01 |
| wafflejock | bejker: ubuntu + KDE I would call it since you still have all the unity dependencies around | 19:01 |
| Sc0rp10n | where can I find the actual executable for any application? | 19:01 |
| wafflejock | bejker: I'm on SSD so strapped for space | 19:01 |
| polter | Sc0rp10n: and the address bar doesn't show up if you click a tab? | 19:01 |
| nick____ | zykotick9: it was simple and smooth, also sophisticated | 19:01 |
| Rory | nick____: It's over though. We lost. We have to use Mate and XFCE | 19:02 |
| nick____ | i hate looking at unity bar left of the screen at the moment :p | 19:02 |
| polter | Sc0rp10n: because you can set a flag in chromium to enable compact mode which hides the toolbar | 19:02 |
| Sc0rp10n | nope polter, no address bar, no extension icons or wrench icon | 19:02 |
| bejker | wafflejock: uuu when u use SSD swap move to other disk | 19:02 |
| Rory | Sc0rp10n: Hit F11 | 19:02 |
| zykotick9 | nick____: personally i went gnome2->my_wm-only_roots. rip gnome2. but, move on ;) | 19:02 |
| nick____ | it is not nice they are forcing ppl for unity | 19:02 |
| polter | Sc0rp10n: try CTRL+ALT+B in Chromium | 19:03 |
| wafflejock | nick____: it's not forced it's just pushed | 19:03 |
| zykotick9 | !ot | nick____ | 19:03 |
| ubottu | nick____: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 19:03 |
| nick____ | really it looks ugly on the left :S | 19:03 |
| k1l | nick____: dont think everyone got the same taste like you. | 19:03 |
| wafflejock | nick____: I think Unity looks nice but I missed the ability to customize things | 19:03 |
| nick____ | ok ok i ll go offtopic :p | 19:03 |
| deflower | lol | 19:03 |
| k1l | nick____: you were helped with your issue. so please keep this channel clear for support and not flaming and ranting | 19:04 |
| nick____ | i m there kll thx | 19:04 |
| sauerbraten | Is it possible to get a package included into the official ubuntu repositories? If so, how? | 19:04 |
| k1l | !msg ubottu !motu | 19:04 |
| ubottu | k1l: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 19:04 |
| gordonjcp | sauerbraten: yes, but it has to meet a very high standard | 19:05 |
| k1l | !motu | 19:05 |
| ubottu | motu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU | 19:05 |
| nick____ | i installed this ---> Launcher and docking facility for GNOME | 19:05 |
| nick____ | is this correct ? | 19:05 |
| whoever | Rory: thx it was that cachefile that was included | 19:05 |
| zykotick9 | sauerbraten: your best bet, is start a ppa. try to get it into debian sid/experimental would be another way... /me chuckles | 19:05 |
| dartos | Has anyone here set up a virtual server under an Ubuntu host? I'm using the bridged connection in virtualbox but my virtual server can't get an IP address. It seems to have an IPv6 one but not IPv4 | 19:05 |
| NewbieNo1 | http://pastebin.com/ezxJkvkX | 19:05 |
| dartos | Does anyone know why this might be happening? | 19:06 |
| Rory | No problem whoever | 19:06 |
| sauerbraten | gordonjcp, zykotick9: What I would like to have added is already included, just in a really old version. I'm a big fan of the game sauerbraten (partly the reason behind my name). I'd like to see the updated version included in the repos. | 19:06 |
| Rory | dartos: Please /join #vbox for Virtualbox user support | 19:06 |
| MonkeyDust | dartos sounds like a setting error, try asking in #virtualbox | 19:06 |
| MonkeyDust | Rory was faster :) | 19:06 |
| gordonjcp | sauerbraten: chat to the package maintainer | 19:06 |
| dartos | MonkeyDust: oh okay. I thought it was something with ubuntu. Thanks! | 19:07 |
| zykotick9 | NewbieNo1: sidenote: i don't go to pastebin.com, if you repaste/use paste.ubuntu.com i can see too. | 19:07 |
| gordonjcp | sauerbraten: if they won't upgrade it, perhaps you can take the package, make your own, and create a PPA | 19:07 |
| NewbieNo1 | zykotick9: ok.. | 19:07 |
| nick____ | another question is , is it possible to customize unity ? | 19:07 |
| Sc0rp10n | polter the shortcut you mentioned doesn't do anything | 19:07 |
| MonkeyDust | nick____ try unity-tweak-tool | 19:07 |
| wafflejock | nick____: you can verify at the command line easily, Ctrl+Alt+T for a terminal type "sudo apt-get install gnome-shell -s" | 19:07 |
| gordonjcp | nick____: customise in what way? | 19:07 |
| nick____ | ok MonkeyDust | 19:07 |
| NewbieNo1 | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6134045/ | 19:07 |
| polter | Sc0rp10n: does running "chromium-browser --temp-profile" change anything for you? | 19:07 |
| wafflejock | nick____: the -s means simulate won't actually install but should show if it is installed | 19:08 |
| nick____ | gordonjcp: shape, icon, position..etc | 19:08 |
| gordonjcp | sauerbraten: I haven't played it for years, would have a shot now if the download wasn't so huge | 19:08 |
| gordonjcp | nick____: of what? | 19:08 |
| nick____ | of unity bar | 19:08 |
| NewbieNo1 | zykotick9: could you see it? | 19:08 |
| Sc0rp10n | nope polter | 19:08 |
| gordonjcp | nick____: oh, you can set the icon size as long as you're not running unity-2d | 19:08 |
| zykotick9 | NewbieNo1: the only thing i see you loading is the default? GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" | 19:08 |
| bejker | i have 2 panels on desktop on the botom i have "K start button" and manager on top i have clock and programs and all the times when i turn os on thise panel on top of the screen is little lower than top of the screen and i need manual change position of panel, any idea? | 19:08 |
| sauerbraten | gordonjcp: yes, ppa would be my best bet, but I'll try talking to a package maintainer first now. thanks | 19:09 |
| Sc0rp10n | Rory, I can't use f11 cause it changes the sound in mac. Weird | 19:09 |
| nick____ | gordonjcp: what about position ? | 19:09 |
| Sc0rp10n | even if I try it with command + f11 | 19:09 |
| nick____ | bottom, top , right .. instead of left ? | 19:09 |
| gordonjcp | nick____: you can rearrange the icons on it. It's stuck to the left side. | 19:09 |
| NewbieNo1 | zykotick9: that's what it looks like now | 19:09 |
| wafflejock | nick____: http://askubuntu.com/questions/29553/how-can-i-configure-unity | 19:09 |
| nick____ | stucked ? | 19:09 |
| nick____ | cant move it ? | 19:09 |
| zykotick9 | NewbieNo1: "cat /proc/cmdline" it's only 1 line - so to the channel. | 19:09 |
| gordonjcp | nick____: that's mildly annoying, but less so than having its equivalent along the bottom like in OSX | 19:09 |
| dman777_alter | anyone use uwsgi? how do i force it to use python 2.7? | 19:10 |
| nick____ | really sucks | 19:10 |
| nick____ | it is ugly , also cant move :S | 19:10 |
| polter | Sc0rp10n: you could probably clear out the cache and config folders for chromium. That's /home/Sc0rp10n/.config/chromium and /home/Sc0rp10n/.cache/chromium but that will wipe all extensions, history... everything | 19:10 |
| Rory | I need to leave for a while. | 19:10 |
| gordonjcp | dman777_alter: it should run 2.7 by default, if that's what you've got installed | 19:10 |
| Impossible1 | anyone familiar with namebench | 19:11 |
| gordonjcp | nick____: <shrug> | 19:11 |
| polter | basically it will reset it | 19:11 |
| wafflejock | nick____: if you want to customize I really suggest just switching the DE, Unity isn't really geared towards the tweakers, it works well for general users I think | 19:11 |
| nashant | If anyone is interested as to why I was getting a kernel panic after reboot but not when booting from cold, when grub installed for some reason it didn't create a device map. So I ran grub-mkdevicemap and now I'm rebooting fine | 19:11 |
| zykotick9 | !anyone > Impossible1 | 19:11 |
| ubottu | Impossible1, please see my private message | 19:11 |
| NewbieNo1 | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6134060/ | 19:11 |
| gordonjcp | nick____: maybe another DE is more like what you're after | 19:11 |
| gordonjcp | nick____: what are you used to? | 19:11 |
| wafflejock | nick____: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE | 19:11 |
| zykotick9 | NewbieNo1: reboot! acpi_backlight=vendor | 19:11 |
| Sc0rp10n | that's alright, polter | 19:11 |
| gordonjcp | nick____: oh, you're already in #u-ot | 19:11 |
| nick____ | gordonjcp: i was use to use ubuntu before unity | 19:11 |
| wafflejock | nick____: http://www.filiwiese.com/installing-gnome-on-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/ | 19:12 |
| nick____ | and i dont like other versions of linux | 19:12 |
| NewbieNo1 | zykotick9: strange, I updated the grub | 19:12 |
| dman777_alter | gordonjcp: python --version shows Python 2.7.3. but when i run it i get the same error as i did in gentoo...-- unavailable modifier requested: 0 --....when it was using non python 2.7.*. gentoo had a special /usr/bin/uwsgi_python27 | 19:12 |
| zykotick9 | NewbieNo1: did you run "sudo update-grub"? | 19:12 |
| wafflejock | nick____: pasted links above for KDE then Gnome configuration in Ubuntu | 19:12 |
| Impossible1 | when i open name bench, under 'Nameservers' I see 127.0.0.1. Should I change it to the DNS servers I have currently? or do i leave that | 19:12 |
| NewbieNo1 | yes, and after that I restarted zykotick9 | 19:12 |
| NewbieNo1 | brb | 19:12 |
| zykotick9 | NewbieNo1: you are currently booted with acpi_backlight=vendor | 19:12 |
| bejker | Impossible1: 127.0.0.1 is local so dont change that | 19:13 |
| nick____ | ok wafflejock and other friends thank u a lot | 19:13 |
| nick____ | i ll read all of them | 19:13 |
| wafflejock | nick____: if you find you like one more than Unity perhaps consider going with Kubuntu or installing Linux Mint (ubuntu fork) Mate instead | 19:13 |
| wafflejock | nick____: no problem I just had a DE meltdown myself so I know the feeling best of luck | 19:13 |
| nick____ | wafflejock: i dont like other themes or tweaks | 19:14 |
| nick____ | i was in love with the look of 10.10 | 19:14 |
| Impossible1 | bejker thanks. It says 127.0.0.1 is the fastest primary and gives me a different secondary. SHould i change it to 127.0.0.1 in my router or is it says that i should leave the one i currently have | 19:14 |
| nick____ | 10.04 too | 19:14 |
| NewbieNo1 | zykotick9: thx now I can change brightness with the panel brightness changes | 19:14 |
| nick____ | maybe 11.04 | 19:14 |
| bejker | Impossible1: 127.0.0.1 is not DNS thise is localhost | 19:15 |
| NewbieNo1 | but I'd still would like to be able to do it with the fn keys like I could when I installed the driver | 19:15 |
| Sc0rp10n | hey polter, I removed everything but can't remove custom.css in .config/chromium/Default/User stylesheets/ | 19:16 |
| wafflejock | nick____: I agree I am more fond of the older DEs but I can see the advantage of Unity for someone who is coming in fresh and knows nothing of Linux, it's friendly and everything is already set for you. Ubuntu was also trying to become a one OS for all platforms system (still is) so I think that's a big reason for the UI choices (think tablet or phone) | 19:16 |
| bejker | Impossible1: why you dont use dynDNS? | 19:16 |
| nick____ | wafflejock: look what i want : http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1d/Ubuntu_10.10_preview.png | 19:16 |
| polter | Sc0rp10n: is chromium closed? try doing a "killall chromium-browser" to kill off any background processes | 19:16 |
| Impossible1 | bejker i have never heard of that | 19:17 |
| k1l | nick____: fallback session /classic session is the best you can get | 19:17 |
| zykotick9 | NewbieNo1: SIDENOTE i actually use acpi_backlight=vendor to FIX my brighness controls on a couple of my EEE PCs, BUT there are other options with that! you should search for acpi options, or bugs, online. something there COULD fix things ;) best of luck. | 19:17 |
| nick____ | it was nice the thin bars at top and bottom | 19:17 |
| nick____ | and nothing on desktop | 19:17 |
| Griff| | Hi, I am looking for some advice. I am about to format to Ubuntu and thought I should probably go ahead and encrypt both my bootable SSD as well as my RAID array. I'm also considering switching from 0 to 5, and adding an extra drive. Are there any precautions I need to take, or specific articles which I should read before making the transition? My data is backing up now. | 19:17 |
| k1l | nick____: but be aware that its cut off in some settings | 19:17 |
| k1l | nick____: i would suggest to take a look at xfce or lxde (xubuntu and lubuntu) | 19:18 |
| bejker | Impossible1: dynamic DNS like you have DHCP dynamic IP adress thise work like that, give you best dynamic DNS | 19:18 |
| wafflejock | nick____: yup doing the Gnome-Shell install then picking that from the login screen (you'll have to logout) should get you back to what you're looking for basically... I can't strongly enough suggest checking out KDE though... it's been a long time since I even took a glance at it and it's really pretty awesome now | 19:18 |
| wafflejock | nick____: guess you're gonna hear everyones opinions on DE now :) | 19:18 |
| mikeman | Greetings! Where is a good place to go for general help for newbies.... | 19:18 |
| nick____ | wafflejock: can u show me screenshot ? | 19:18 |
| nick____ | or preview ? | 19:18 |
| Impossible1 | bejker dynDNS is only if i have a dynamic ip? | 19:19 |
| bejker | mikeman: here :) | 19:19 |
| polter | wafflejock: indeed KDE is pretty great nowadays | 19:19 |
| NewbieNo1 | zykotick9: ok, one last thing, what does acpi stand for? | 19:19 |
| bejker | Impossible1: no, you can change manual to just have dynamic DNS | 19:19 |
| bejker | and static IP | 19:19 |
| mikeman | Excellent! Im a little ashamed to admit that just getting onto xchat was a bit of a challenge for me haha.... | 19:19 |
| zykotick9 | NewbieNo1: advance control power interface (or something).... phone brb | 19:19 |
| bejker | mikeman: i never use xchat, Thise is chanel ubuntu support not xchat :) | 19:20 |
| Sc0rp10n | hey polter, it didn't work but I think it's a different issue | 19:20 |
| mikeman | so in short, i think my shockwave player is out of date.... is there a generic way to update said player? | 19:21 |
| Sc0rp10n | but thanks for all your help polter | 19:21 |
| Sc0rp10n | gtg for lunch now | 19:21 |
| bejker | mikeman: apt-get update | 19:21 |
| polter | Sc0rp10n: aw that sucks. yeah no probs. I hope it works out | 19:21 |
| venux | What program controls gtk themes? For instance, I've built a desktop environment and added it to the GDM sessions list, but when I go into it, I did not specify a gtk theme manager, so all apps look really bad. I have xfwm, awn, xsettingsd, etc, but nothing regarding GTK what should I add to the session so that apps don't look terrible? | 19:21 |
| Griff| | Hi, I am looking for some advice. I am about to format to Ubuntu and thought I should probably go ahead and encrypt both my bootable SSD as well as my RAID array. I'm also considering switching from 0 to 5, and adding an extra drive. Are there any precautions I need to take, or specific articles which I should read before making the transition? My data is backing up now. | 19:21 |
| zykotick9 | NewbieNo1: acpi is your power management stuff. | 19:21 |
| nick____ | brb - restarting | 19:21 |
| polter | venux: you can use the .gtkrc file for that I believe | 19:22 |
| venux | ok, thank you. | 19:22 |
| kostkon | mikeman, if you want the latest flash version then your only option is to use chrome | 19:22 |
| mikeman | apologies for the confusion... I was simply using getting on xchat as a example of my newbieness... | 19:22 |
| bejker | Griff|: swap on other drive | 19:22 |
| zykotick9 | NewbieNo1: ;) i was close, Advanced Configuration and Power Interface | 19:22 |
| zykotick9 | 19:22 | |
| Griff| | Swap on the SSD? Ofcourse. | 19:22 |
| wafflejock | oh well nick___ is gone but here's the shot of my current KDE setup http://snag.gy/kQjhA.jpg | 19:22 |
| bejker | Griff|: no dont put swap on SSD | 19:23 |
| polter | venux: check out the ArchLinux wikipage on GTK: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GTK%2B | 19:23 |
| Griff| | Is there anything in the process which might be problematic for me? I'm by no means a guru, but I know my way around, just about. | 19:23 |
| kostkon | mikeman, adobe has stopped updating the linux version of the flash plugin. the only way to have the latest version is to use chrome | 19:23 |
| Griff| | Ohh? No? | 19:23 |
| AiriA | So does Ubuntu have a feature similar to Windows sever were I can span multiple drives? | 19:23 |
| Griff| | Why not? | 19:23 |
| NewbieNo1 | zykotick9: is there any way for me to change it so that i can use fn keys? | 19:23 |
| venux | I'll have a look, thanks polter | 19:23 |
| polter | venux: sure, good luck | 19:24 |
| mikeman | ok - i got some updates running, for chrome et all... so hopefully this resolves my isue | 19:24 |
| andyfied | AiriA: i happily set up a software raid in server | 19:24 |
| mikeman | thank you very much for you help | 19:24 |
| bejker | Griff|: SSD have lifetime if you know and swap is all time read/write/erased you want to kill disk? | 19:24 |
| mikeman | err... your* | 19:24 |
| zykotick9 | NewbieNo1: probably! but i don't know how, and i'd guess it's non-trivial. | 19:24 |
| kostkon | mikeman, but flash 11.2.x that ubuntu offers is good enough for 98% of the sites | 19:24 |
| Griff| | True... But 16gb of ram should surely be more than enough for the swap to rarely be used? Even so, I will take your advice and keep it on D: | 19:25 |
| lapt0p | Is there a way to get GPS data with your Android smartphone, and make it stream it to your Ubuntu? Curious to know :). | 19:25 |
| zykotick9 | NewbieNo1: if you are really interested, research xev for a starting point ;) | 19:25 |
| Griff| | keep it on the raid* | 19:25 |
| Triple15_ | hhh | 19:25 |
| andyfied | AiriA: logical volume manager is what you want iirc | 19:25 |
| Triple15_ | hallo könnt ihr mir helfen | 19:25 |
| wafflejock | lapt0p: you mean an app or are you looking for a programmable solution? | 19:25 |
| AiriA | On my windows server I spanned 2 drives to combine the space and make it appear as one drive. The reason why I am asking is I am considering updating my server to ubuntu server | 19:25 |
| Triple15_ | hello i need help | 19:25 |
| NewbieNo1 | zykotick9: what is "xev" in the first place? | 19:25 |
| bejker | Griff|: yes, but i dont know why a lot of programs use swap even the have free ram | 19:26 |
| andyfied | AiriA: logical volume manager will do it i believe | 19:26 |
| kostkon | mikeman, i mean chrome, not chromium. just pointing out the difference | 19:26 |
| zykotick9 | NewbieNo1: lol, find out. "man xev" | 19:26 |
| Triple15_ | can i install ubuntu on ps3 | 19:26 |
| AiriA | Ok, thanks. I will look into that. | 19:26 |
| lapt0p | wafflejock: Have no idea, app or a programmable solution, whatever :D | 19:26 |
| andyfied | np | 19:26 |
| bejker | Triple15_: yes u can | 19:26 |
| NewbieNo1 | zykotick9: so you know how to use xev but you don't actually know what it is? | 19:26 |
| zykotick9 | NewbieNo1: trust me, remaping the additional keys/fn keys - is gonna get ugly, probably quickly. | 19:26 |
| polter | bejker: didn't sony remove the option to boot Linux? | 19:26 |
| NewbieNo1 | ok hten zykotick9 | 19:27 |
| bejker | polter: i have shell on ps3 :) | 19:27 |
| grex25 | Is there a way to install ubuntu software center applications (I want IntelliJ) with apt-get? (Free apps, but bought for 0.00) | 19:27 |
| smaudet | Hey, having some problems with uefi boots, already tried the manual at !uefi, didn't work, thanks | 19:27 |
| wafflejock | wafflejock: You can use Lookout which will find your phone location and can be accessed via a web browser so any OS will do, alternatively you could transmit the data via an IP (if both devices share a network). Google is supposedly introducing a find my phone feature into an upcoming version of the OS as well | 19:27 |
| wafflejock | oops lapt0p I meant :) | 19:27 |
| andyfied | AiriA: if LVM doesn't help then you can always try to set up a raid with the terminal, it's really not too hard :) | 19:27 |
| luky | can someone help me with my mailserver i cant get emails only sending is possible | 19:27 |
| luky | dont know where the error is | 19:27 |
| AiriA | I guess as long as it does the same thing | 19:27 |
| smaudet | To restate my question: what issues might I be having stopping me from booting ubuntu 13.04 at all? Its a lenovo g700 with intel hd 4000 graphics, if that helps at all | 19:27 |
| wafflejock | lapt0p: alternatively you can use Google Latitude which shares your location though I'm not sure if there's an API or way to access that data | 19:28 |
| zykotick9 | grex25: search for the package name from terminal "apt-cache search foo" replace foo with whatever you want to search for. | 19:28 |
| wafflejock | luky: what mail server are you using have you checked the logs? | 19:28 |
| andyfied | AiriA: to start off though, run "apt-get install lvm2" or have a look in synaptic for it. lvm is definitely friendlier | 19:28 |
| AiriA | is it GUI or all command line? | 19:28 |
| polter | wafflejock: latitude is no more | 19:28 |
| wafflejock | polter: yeah I kinda had the lingering feeling that was true thx for the clarification | 19:28 |
| venux | polter: quick question, so gtkrc-2 is a file it appears that specifies the gtk theme and icons and whatnot to use. So, if I build a gtkrc-2 file, and add it to the start up list for the desktop environments file, would that work? And could I store the gtkrc-2 file inside say /usr/share/venux? | 19:29 |
| luky | http://pastebin.com/mXJiBeah | 19:29 |
| luky | this are the log files i cant do anything with that | 19:29 |
| grex25 | zykotick9: This is not working at propitary applications | 19:29 |
| venux | /usr/share/venux contains my venux-desktop.sh file which launches xfwm, awn, etc and is called by /usr/share/xsessions/venux.desktop | 19:29 |
| Triple15_ | ps3 always starts automatically in linux and ubuntu? | 19:29 |

| Pricey | Arg... after installing Ubuntu won't boot. If I boot off the usb unetbootin, i get the actual disk's bootloader and grub lets me to right through to ubuntu. I've seen this before but can't remember how to fix it... only the ubuntu / has a bootable flag. Any ideas? | 19:35 |

| smaudet | Pricey, just a guess, use the /boot partition as bootable? | 19:36 |
| Pricey | smaudet: I don't think I have one... | 19:36 |
| zykotick9 | Pricey: fyi, grub doesn't even care about boot flags... i'd recommend booting into ubuntu (using unetbootin, or whatever) then reinstall grub to the HD, fyi, it probably WILL NOT be sda. | 19:36 |
| Pricey | zykotick9: its on sdb | 19:36 |
| zykotick9 | Pricey: so reinstall it to sdb, which will become sda when you boot off it. | 19:37 |
| venux | polter: I have the themes and all my resources set up on partition 1, and I'm using partition 2 to test creating sessions, DE's, etc. So all this will occur on partition2, so I'm not worried if I destroy it :) | 19:37 |

| luky | wafflejock: the quick googleing was very very fail | 19:43 |

| === ftregloin is now known as fregloin | ||
| ikonia | ftregloin: how are you setting that up from an xserver point of view ? | 20:00 |
| ikonia | ftregloin: I suspect that will be the deciding factor over anything | 20:00 |
| Harmageddon | Connecting via WLAN works fine, though. | 20:00 |
| swaagie | zykotick9: I understand :) but afraid it was required to get the screen working, and I'm not 100% sure its related to the kernel, but yeah... | 20:01 |
| fregloin | hm, the idea consists on usage of 2 radeon 7970 or 2 or 3 mattrox 9120 | 20:01 |
| ikonia | fregloin: I didn't ask about your video cards, I asked how you where setting up the x servers | 20:01 |
| polter | Harmageddon: could be that it's set to static IP when it should be DHCP or vice versa | 20:01 |
| fregloin | we need use 3*4 displays 1920*1080 | 20:01 |
| zykotick9 | swaagie: i'm guessing it's that something changed with your nightly ppa, if it was working. check there launchpad site, for bugs perhaps. | 20:01 |
| ikonia | fregloin: still not answering my questions | 20:02 |
| fregloin | i'm not professional on x server configuration, so i can't answer on your question. i thought about using of xrandr | 20:03 |
| Harmageddon | Oh, forget about my question, I forgot to set the IP options from manual to automatically/dhcp. | 20:03 |
| swaagie | zykotick9: probably, installed it yesterday though laptop is rather new, will keep an eye out for bug fixes and the #intel-gfx channel | 20:03 |
| swaagie | in other words cant really say it worked | 20:03 |
| swaagie | :P | 20:04 |
| fregloin | all that i know that it will be used 12 displays on one machine for rendering one Qt application | 20:04 |
| ikonia | fregloin: ok, so you need to make sure you don't use any functions that are propitary to a driver, and then look at using say xinerama to setup the xservers as required | 20:04 |
| fregloin | so there no limits on display count in kernel or something like that? | 20:05 |
| bejker | fregloin: 12 displays loool | 20:05 |
| fregloin | because in windows limit is 10 | 20:05 |

| fregloin | thanks to all for answers | 20:10 |
| ikonia | lapt0p: actually yes - as I said it depends on what you are doing what libraries you'll need, but in essense the tool kit you want to use, eg: gtk should be enough for the visual element | 20:10 |

| fregloin | есть кто из наших? | 20:12 |
| scottyinzeo | venux, yeah, the open source driver works fine - i'm wondering if an older version of the driver might work? | 20:13 |
| bejker | fregloin: #ubuntu-ru | 20:13 |
| zykotick9 | lattera: if you have, nvidia. does nvidia-settings report both of your cards (perhaps separatly somehow?) | 20:13 |
| lapt0p | ikonia: Yeah, but someone has to give me the starting idea, so i'll know in which direction to make the research | 20:13 |

| mn3monic | venux, about ATI | 20:13 |
| lattera | zykotick9: yup, it does | 20:13 |
| lattera | separately | 20:13 |
| mn3monic | venux, update fglrx & dkms packages | 20:13 |

| ikonia | lapt0p: "how do I develop in gtk" is not an ubuntu issue, also try the gtk channel | 20:14 |
| zykotick9 | lattera: and does it allow you to setup things the way you want? isn't there a save to xorg button or something (start it with gksudo, if you get an error). | 20:14 |
| User2005 | And mounted /dev/sda1 to /data. | 20:14 |
| venux | Well see, aTI hasn't developed a new driver since an older kernel, so when I update the kernel the proprietary ati driver won't work. But the one included in Ubuntu works fine for me (not the ati one specifically, the generic one) | 20:14 |
| smallfoot | User2005, you can mount it in /media/ | 20:14 |
| User2005 | Then I power off the system, remove the CD-rom, and now /dev/sda is gone. (lspci shows the controller) | 20:15 |
| mn3monic | venux, the problem inside the log is with the dkms compiling, ah ? | 20:15 |
| lattera | zykotick9: ah, gotcha, looks like it might | 20:15 |
| mn3monic | right ? | 20:15 |
| lattera | let's see if this works :) | 20:15 |
| lattera | brb, gonna install the new xorg config and reboot | 20:15 |
| lapt0p | ikonia: Thanks | 20:15 |
| venux | scottyinzeo: an older kernel should work. Maybe check what was the last kernel that the driver supported and downgrade accordingly | 20:15 |
| ikonia | smallfoot: he didn't ask where he can mount it, he said it's already mounted | 20:15 |
| bejker | User2005: use automatic mount | 20:15 |
| smallfoot | ikonia, okay, but I would mount it in /mnt or /media, which is where its supposed to go | 20:15 |
| venux | mn3monic: haven't checked the log, just admitted defeat and stopped trying to use the ati driver | 20:15 |
| ikonia | smallfoot: he can mount it where he wants. | 20:15 |

| Lsak | Hi there, I was wondering if I could get some help. I've tried googling the issue but i'm getting stuck at one of the steps. I am trying to run a dual boot system on seperate hard drives with Win7 and Ubuntu 12.10. I am currently getting the blank screen error and from I read I need to try install the newest Nvidia drivers but when I try getting into terminal using ctrl+alt+f1 the terminal | 20:38 |
| Lsak | doesn't appear so I cannot use apt-get to update the drivers. Any ideas? | 20:38 |

| gert-jan | zykotick9, Whahah... its kinda obvious now i know.. but i never realised that... whahahaha | 22:00 |
| raj | on windows, I feel like 7zip is the vlc of compressed files | 22:00 |
| zykotick9 | gert-jan: personally, if you want to use ubuntu, i'd recommend you backup your files and fresh install every release, and always use the latest (but NOT development version of ubuntu). but, i don't use ubuntu anymore. | 22:01 |
| bekks | gert-jan: I's suggest staying at 12.04, and _possibly_ upgrade to 14.04. | 22:01 |
| zykotick9 | bekks: lts->lts update are ... ummmm... i don't have a nice word. | 22:02 |
| kostkon | raj, just install the p7zip package and then use the default archive manager which is just a gui frontend to various compression utlitilies. | 22:02 |
| bprompt | raj: hmm well.... there are many compression formats, 7zip covers most, with the exception of a few like .rar and .ace maybe or .arj other than that, 7zip works fine, then I also have rar/unrar installed too | 22:02 |
| bekks | zykotick9: Yeah :) | 22:02 |

| Braun | MonkeyDust: MonkeyDust ,yes it is | 22:03 |
| gert-jan | zykotick9, What do you use then.. (if i may ask) | 22:03 |
| zykotick9 | gert-jan: doesn't matter. use what YOU want! | 22:03 |
| kostkon | raj, then also install either the rar or the p7zip-rar package. | 22:03 |

| blurk | bwayne, but do it have auto-indent? | 22:28 |
| bprompt | blurk: I use Quanta plus, which is really an IDE | 22:28 |
| blurk | gedit that is | 22:28 |
| wilee-nilee | UrielVigilant, Thats about the most I can do is offer that wiki, but use that broadcom info for getting help otherwise. | 22:28 |

| smaudet | yay ubuntu 13.04 on efi *slow clap* | 23:36 |
| smaudet | now to figure out this mess called uefi/windows boot | 23:36 |
| wilee-nilee | smaudet, That the 32 bit? | 23:37 |
| smaudet | 64 bit | 23:37 |
| smaudet | wilee-nilee, why? | 23:37 |
| wilee-nilee | smaudet, I saw a person with a 32 bit earlier thought it was you. | 23:38 |
| smaudet | no, don't think so | 23:38 |
| wilee-nilee | I wondered if it was possible is all | 23:38 |
| smaudet | wilee-nilee, is efi 64 bit exclusive? | 23:38 |
| wilee-nilee | smaudet, I thought so, not sure is all. | 23:39 |
| wilee-nilee | with a W8 dual | 23:39 |
| wilee-nilee | good job getting it installed though smaudet | 23:40 |
| smaudet | I don't really want the w8, the goal was to get something non-windows 8 to boot (check), preferrably on efi (check), its bonus points if I can get it to play nice/figure out the windows 8 part | 23:40 |
| smaudet | I have secure boot on, but in 'setup mode', whatever that means, also wanted to explore that while I'm dinking around the bios | 23:41 |
| smaudet | wilee-nilee, thanks, not really much of a feat in the end :P | 23:41 |
| smaudet | The real effort is thanks to the kernel/efi hackers. :) Although that no-backlight bug is a real gotcha. X_X | 23:43 |
| smaudet | Cannot believe that turned out to be the problem, went through 4 different installs, and the 'graphics' never worked. | 23:44 |
| smaudet | Oh well. | 23:44 |
| eein | is mono defunct? | 23:44 |
| smaudet | eein, not on windows | 23:44 |

| smaudet | (the mono developer) | 23:45 |
| eein | i grabbed mono-complete but it does nothing | 23:45 |
| tsquar3d | So, I am still having a heck of a time -- I can't find any way to get ubuntu working on ia32 with uefi | 23:45 |

| smaudet | eein, is it? | 23:46 |
| eein | http://www.go-mono.com/moonlight | 23:46 |
| smaudet | eein, working for me | 23:46 |
| smaudet | oh | 23:46 |
| eein | love how the MS site says Linux...check | 23:47 |
| smaudet | eein, redirects to the other site | 23:47 |
| smaudet | eein, www.mono-project.com | 23:47 |
| tsquar3d | Ha. None what so ever. I have an ia32 system that came with windows 8. As far as I know I need an ubuntu build that runs on ia32 with efi support. | 23:47 |
| tsquar3d | smaudet: | 23:47 |
| tsquar3d | It makes me sad. | 23:47 |
| DJones | eein: Found this http://www.infoq.com/news/2012/05/Miguel-Moonlight "Miguel: We have abandoned Moonlight." about half way down the page | 23:47 |

| wilee-nilee | tsquar3d, Have you checked if that is a 64 bit computer per-chance my toshiba was though listed as 32 bit. | 23:48 |
| kostkon | eein, are you looking for moonlight? | 23:48 |
| tsquar3d | Yeah, it's certainly an ia32 | 23:48 |
| eein | yeah i thought i heard something about it on /. but my online college course seems to need it, never installed it before | 23:48 |
| smaudet | eein, what do you need moonlight for? That's Silverlight stuff, yeah? | 23:48 |
| kostkon | eein, http://www.webupd8.org/2013/08/pipelight-use-silverlight-in-your-linux.html | 23:48 |

| kostkon | eein, forget that moonlight ever existed | 23:48 |
| Arid | so I'm thoroughly annoyed at the moment lol. I've got tightvnc running on my 13.04 server and I connect, but I cannot left click inside any programs | 23:49 |
| smaudet | Except in Netflix, which ignored Microsoft's memo | 23:49 |
| tsquar3d | The 32 bit ubuntu distro does not come with efi -- so the computer will not even entertain the idea of booting it... | 23:49 |
| tsquar3d | And the 64-bit version, of course, will not run on an ia32 | 23:49 |
| kostkon | smaudet, theyll change to html5 soon | 23:49 |
| Arid | I can left click anything attached to the desktop environment but anything I open like gedit cannot be left clicked in any way | 23:49 |
| eein | yeah need it for college, oh wel ill figure something else out i guess | 23:49 |
| kostkon | smaudet, when html5 is 100% ready for drm content that is | 23:49 |
| smaudet | eein, protest the class | 23:50 |
| smaudet | eein, they're teaching a dead-in-the-water tool | 23:50 |
| eein | haha its just the oreintation :-) | 23:50 |
| kostkon | eein, i just gave you a link | 23:50 |
| tsquar3d | eein: Where do you go to uni? | 23:50 |
| smaudet | eein, ask a classmate to take a video and put it up on youtube? | 23:50 |
| eein | esc.edu | 23:50 |
| eein | kostkon: looking | 23:51 |
| wilee-nilee | eein, I had one on line problem with the college I was at just the transfer of papers was it, those system are dated I think in general. | 23:51 |
| smaudet | kostkon, I'm not sure what 'ready' means, drm has always been broken... | 23:52 |
| tsquar3d | So... I am probably hosed when it comes to getting efi ubuntu working on ia32? | 23:52 |
| eein | kostkon: thanks for the ppas | 23:52 |
| === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away | ||
| kostkon | smaudet, to playback drm content* | 23:52 |
| smaudet | kostkon, I'd have just gone ahead and transfered, and continue like drm always has, fixing bugs as they are found | 23:52 |
| smaudet | And never really fixing drm :P | 23:53 |
| wilee-nilee | tsquar3d, you could se if you can get a non uefi oem install from the manufacturer, then wipe the HD, make it msdos and you could dual boot. | 23:53 |
| Arid | anyone at all heard of an issue with being unable to left click while remote controlling ? | 23:54 |
| tsquar3d | wilee-nilee: I'd say fat chance of getting that out of HP, eh? | 23:55 |
| Arid | the interwebz seems to be clueless. I find absolutely no hits :/ | 23:55 |
| wilee-nilee | tsquar3d, I bet they will, you wont know without asking. | 23:55 |
| wilee-nilee | its not free for a install set is all, cheap though | 23:55 |
| bekks | How can I hide a specific user from showing up in the list of users in lightdm? | 23:56 |
| tsquar3d | Hmmmmm...... | 23:56 |
| kostkon | bekks, interesting question.. | 23:56 |
| smaudet | tsquar3d, I was fiddling around with my efi settings and I managed to figure out how to get it to boot non-uefi disks | 23:56 |
| smaudet | tsquar3d, however that may be dependent on the bios | 23:57 |
| GogoPogo | hello | 23:57 |
| smaudet | tsquar3d, while you're asking HP for stuff, I'd badger them about getting an updated bios | 23:57 |
| wilee-nilee | bekks, I just google user questions 99% of the time. http://askubuntu.com/questions/92349/how-do-i-hide-a-particular-user-from-the-lightdm-login-screen | 23:57 |
| tsquar3d | Yeah, smaudet, the bios this computer ships with is pretty restrictive. | 23:57 |
| smaudet | tsquar3d, barring that perhaps we need bios hackers now ;) | 23:58 |
| kostkon | bekks, want to hide the guest acc maybe? just wondering | 23:58 |
| GogoPogo | is there a better chan for off-topic chatting? | 23:58 |
| tsquar3d | Grumble grumble... | 23:58 |
| wilee-nilee | GogoPogo, #ubuntu-offtopic | 23:58 |
| smaudet | tsquar3d, who write custom bioses for backwards computer shops | 23:58 |
| tsquar3d | Yeah... it really sucks.... the bios lets me turn off secure boot -- but that really doesn't do jack squat. | 23:59 |
| bekks | kostkon: No. I have a user owning all remote backups, and it is not intended to be used regularly. | 23:59 |
| smaudet | And it apparently is a thing! http://www.bios-mods.com/ | 23:59 |
| wilee-nilee | tsquar3d, We have seen people here lately wiping W8 and the HD and going msdos with no problems. | 23:59 |
| kostkon | bekks, oh | 23:59 |
| smaudet | tsquar3d, I have no idea but maybe you could look into that if HP isn't gonna be cool. | 23:59 |
| bekks | Found the solution: /etc/lightdm/users.conf -> [UserAccounts] -> hidden-users= | 23:59 |
| wilee-nilee | tsquar3d, with the bios set as legacy | 23:59 |
