[00:00] hi sudo [00:01] reisio, yes i know [00:10] hey y'all should i get 12.04 or 13.04? [00:10] : ] [00:10] hey [00:10] I followed this http://www.webupd8.org/2009/02/ubuntu-internet-connection-sharing.html and it worked, except I have to turn off the firewall (ufw) can somebody please tell me what rules should I add to the firewall? PC1's internet connection is wlan0(192.168.1.100), and it's connected to PC2 with a Crossover cable eth(192.168.0.1), PC2(192.168.0.2) (both ubuntu). I wanna setup file sharing too, everything is already working correctly except I have to turn off [00:10] the firewall. reisio? [00:10] anonee: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:10] hrmm? [00:10] macsplean: why wouldn't you go with the latest available? [00:12] reisio: you think that's a good idea? That's what I was trying to figure out. I am new on linux, and not much of a programmer. 12.04 is billed as having longer-term support [00:13] I hate the twisted ubuntu logo in 13.04 :P [00:14] macsplean: right, but... [00:14] macsplean: you coming from Windows? [00:14] reisio, did you read my msg? [00:14] anonee: ? [00:14] macsplean: the advantage of long term support on Windows is that you don't have to BUY the OS again until FOO date [00:14] reisio: yeah, but i am fine with macs too. I think I'll install 12.04 and then maybe install 13.04 on the side [00:14] macsplean: Ubuntu is free, so there is no advantage to putting it off [00:15] reisio: I followed this http://www.webupd8.org/2009/02/ubuntu-internet-connection-sharing.html and it worked, except I have to turn off the firewall (ufw) can somebody please tell me what rules should I add to the firewall? [00:15] reisio: PC1's internet connection is wlan0(192.168.1.100), and it's connected to PC2 with a Crossover cable eth(192.168.0.1), PC2(192.168.0.2) (both ubuntu). I wanna setup file sharing too, everything is already working correctly except I have to turn off the firewall. [00:15] anonee: whichever you like [00:15] #netfilter [00:15] reisio: oh I thought the newer version might be more buggy / broken [00:15] macsplean: it might also be more fixed / improved [00:15] reisio: and have less compatability for older apps [00:16] older apps like? [00:16] i dont know. [00:16] me, I like newer versions of apps, because they're more fixed / improved [00:16] this is all hypothetical : ) [00:16] yes it is :p [00:16] maybe I should ask this in another room? [00:17] basically if you find a newer version of a distro is going in a direction you don't care for, that's a good reason to choose another distro, not lock yourself into an older version of the same distro [00:17] anonee: #netfilter [00:17] are you just playing devils advocate here, or do you have experience to back up your claims? [00:17] and if you don't find yourself in that situation, just use the latest [00:17] macsplean: which claims? [00:17] reisio: your advocacy for 13.04 [00:17] my advocacy is for not using old versions of things for no particular reason [00:17] reisio: well, you seem to know what you are talking about, ill try 13.04 [00:18] kk [00:18] try them all if you want :p [00:18] thanks a bunch [00:18] but if you don't like 13.04, I wouldn't waste time choosing 12.x [00:18] lol u know? I still like GNOME2 [00:18] anonee: most GNOME users do [00:19] Gnome2 RIP :(.. but it's dead people, move on ;) === aarcane_ is now known as aarcane [00:30] I have downloaded and did a build of the drivers from my Ralink 2870/3070 USB Wireless N Dongle, and now i need to enable it to get my network up.

The problem is that "/var/lib/ureadahead/debugfs" has filled up 100% of the disc space. I can *not* reboot the server. [00:52] yikes [00:52] The server is the main web front end for a extremely high traffic web server. [00:52] whats up, skeeterb_ ? [00:52] Any help? Ideas?

[00:57] okay so i installed aspell and when i do which aspell it shows me /usr/bin/aspell but when i type in Aspell it says not found [00:57] how do i set it up so that Aspell refers to /usr/bin/aspell [00:58] i give the premission to folder as "chown -v /dir test2" [00:59] hello, I got a RAID10 ( 4 disks ) installed ubuntu 13.04 and partition is like /boot on sda ,not on raid, root is on software raid10. now I do have same size partition on sdb1, can I add /boot into a new raid and then make sure grub install on sda and sdb ? [00:59] is it using export? [00:59] and when i open the folder through test2 login it shows me permission denied [01:00] Hello. How should I boot the Ubuntu CD on a UEFI machine?

[01:07] juboba I have been getting it working using USB for a couple weeks now [01:08] s2013-: ? [01:08] skeeterb_, damn. I burned a CD because USB boot didn't work [01:08] (it just skips) [01:08] i installed aspell and when i do which aspell it shows me /usr/bin/aspell [01:08] but when i type in Aspell in the command line it says command not found [01:08] now I'm trying CD and the same thing happens [01:08] it works in mac but not on ubuntu [01:08] so im guessing i need to set it to Aspell refers to /usr/bin/aspell [01:08] s2013-, aspell, not Aspell [01:09] can i change it so its Aspell? [01:09] s2013-, you have a shitty file system in your MAC [01:09] juboba you may not have your drive order set to boot the USB devices first [01:09] this is why your OS doesn't care about caps [01:09] skeeterb_, I do man [01:09] huh [01:10] s2013-, you CAN alias Aspell="aspell" [01:10] how do i do that [01:10] s2013-, but you would be living in a dreamworld [01:10] "A" is not the same as "a" [01:10] what's your boot order? I have my order: USB HD, USB Floppy, CDROM, Hard Drive. [01:11] skeeterb_, I have CD, HD, ... [01:11] Jesus Christ. if you cant help then please dont waste either of our time. [01:11] s2013-, open your ~/.bashrc and at the end of that file add: alias Aspell=aspell [01:11] ubuntu software center uses almost 100% cpu at start [01:12] s2013-, Jesus Christ wont help. He will just waste your time ;) [01:13] s2013-, did u get it? after adding that line you have to make bash rescan the file [01:13] ok [01:13] for USB devices to boot you need to have them high up in your list, near the top, then your CDROM then the HD. [01:13] thank [01:13] s2013-, you can do that by reopening the terminal or by typing: ". ~/.bashrc" [01:14] skeeterb_, but I'm trying with CD now. I already tried with USB. [01:14] s2013-, nevermind [01:16] why would /usr/bin/python download data? [01:16] ubuntu software center uses almost 100% cpu at start [01:16] are you on a desktop or laptop juboba? [01:17] skeeterb_, this is a HP 1105 desktop All-In-One [01:17] was it bloated with lots of unneeded software along with winblows 7 [01:18] winblows? [01:18] skeeterb_, you mean Installed? [01:18] that's my parody of windows loa [01:18] Winblows :D That's great. xD [01:18] yah [01:18] skeeterb_, I guess. I hate windows so I don't use it [01:19] skeeterb_, I left windows at XP. So W8 is just chinese to me [01:19] I got fed up after my third blue screen on XP. agreed on the win8 thing. seems a little childish. [01:20] i understand that I have a laptop that has winblows vista on it, but i'm trying to get my network dongle to work because the internal network adapter has gone tits up [01:20] I've been a pretty diehard XP user for a long time, before it started crashing all the time. [01:20] juboba: you're probably not the average user microsoft have in mind when they designed windows. I don't like windows too much either but windows it the right OS for people who don't need/want to know about/tweak OS configs like we do. [01:21] in windows or ubuntu? because if it's netgear that crap doesn't work with anything (been there) [01:21] the network dongle works fine in winblows [01:21] when i login with "su - user" it shows me operation permitted and my firefox not working in that user [01:22] what kind of dongle?!?! Which "brand" [01:22] when i login with "su - user" it shows me operation not permitted and my firefox not working in that user [01:22] so orangerobot any ideas? [01:23] juboba:not really, sorry [01:23] RALink 2870/3070 Wireless N adapter [01:24] help me please i cant login [01:24] to user in terminal [01:25] oaulakh: why dont you just login as that user in the first place [01:25] i think i have the drivers compiled, but can't figure out how to initialize the driver so GNOME can recognize it. [01:26] i login the user normally [01:26] but when i login back to user 1 [01:26] but you said that you used su [01:26] Try additional drivers now? it may be that the drivers just need installed. [01:27] it shows me "su - test2 [01:27] Password: [01:27] su: Authentication failure [01:27] " [01:27] oaulakh: are you using gui or no gui [01:27] using gui [01:28] oaulakh: do you know how to switch from gui to terminal? [01:28] like a full terminal window [01:28] ctrl + alt + t [01:28] ctrl + alt + F1 [01:28] no, like no gui anymore [01:28] tyes [01:29] *yes [01:29] try that and log into the other user [01:29] and its not going to terminal [01:29] it doesnt switch? [01:29] my screen just freezes when i press "ctrl + alt + F1" [01:29] I need convert mp4a --------> mp3 [01:30] program please? [01:30] hmmm [01:30] yeah it doesnt [01:30] camilong, lame [01:30] yeah working [01:30] after some time [01:30] gracias :-D [01:31] so is it possible to initially login to this user from boot? [01:31] ups... thank you [01:31] i have to boot again then [01:31] no, dont [01:31] but i want to clear that problem in current session of os [01:32] camilong, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=810822 [01:32] when i type after login 'sudo su' to get root access [01:33] oaulakh: so youve never tried logging in from boot [01:33] it shows me "su - test2 [01:33] Password: [01:33] su: Authentication failure [01:33] " [01:33] if i try to reboot [01:33] oaulakh: don't use "sudo su". What do you actually want to accomplish? Address the person you are speaking to if you are speaking to someone in particular [01:33] i will solve the problem [01:34] but what i do if i login again in user2 [01:34] never run 'sudo su' in Ubuntu. that's bad practice. [01:34] do i have to again restart then [01:34] use just plain "su" [01:34] ok [01:34] the SUDO command is for issuing commands as a superuser, [01:35] since most distros nowadays won't let you log in as root normally [01:35] su: Authentication failure [01:35] oaulakh: WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH? [01:35] uh-oh caps. [01:36] calm down there! [01:36] i just want to get root access again [01:36] the ops will be all over your ass like white on rice :( [01:36] caps are only bad when misused :) [01:36] ahalverson: su require root password to work, it may be difficult in normal Ubuntu, "sudo -i" is normaly used to get root shell. [01:36] oaulakh: is there any relevant background details you want to provide? [01:37] yeah [01:37] !who | oaulakh [01:37] oaulakh: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [01:37] jrib: indeed, sorry i'm mostly taking the opportunity to point out that they lynch those in here that help :( [01:38] !jrib: i give the premission to an directory with "chown" [01:38] oaulakh: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:38] oaulakh: no need for the "!" [01:38] ok [01:39] jrib: i give the premission to an directory with "chown" [01:39] than login to that user [01:40] oaulakh: chown do not gives permissions [01:40] jrib: but what i see here that i have no longer acess to that files and also i cant login back to normal or root user [01:40] qin_: it gives the ownership [01:40] oaulakh: what directory did you chown? [01:40] oaulakh: try to run "su youruser", not "su - youruser" [01:41] jrib: /mnt/dir [01:42] how do I install chromium? [01:42] ahalverson: not working [01:42] ahalverson: bro [01:42] Guest43103, "sudo apt-get install chromium-browser" [01:42] Guest43103, chromium is available in softwarecenter [01:42] well i got my dongle enabled now.

I am trying to understand what you mean by that. How are you trying to log back in as normal user? What is normal user? [01:47] oaulakh: What have you done?

You can't have everything [01:56] scottj, whoa [01:56] scottj, do you have libreoffice? [01:56] ahalverson: just bc I don't have libreoffice already installed [01:56] wilee-nilee: Can i use that even when i'm using Linux? [01:56] ahalverson: probably a good thing for me to install anyway [01:56] flynn_: you don't have any important data then? [01:57] scottj, it has a cli utility for that same purpose [01:57] daftykins, nope. Just play facebook games on it. [01:57] FidbecK, Yes, it is wireless. [01:57] flynn_: you sir, sicken me!

[02:00] scottj, i have to leave, so just try that and i hope it works :D [02:00] without reinstalling it [02:00] ahalverson: thanks, will do [02:00] but oddly enough I managed to make it work with eOS, the only thing I did was to install blueman [02:00] oaulakh, reinstall [02:00] how i can customize main menu of ubuntu? [02:00] ahalverson: yeah reinstall bro [02:00] loa: Ubuntu tweaks I guess [02:01] i want make such tweak, for example i enter "calc" in application search, and i see two applications spread sheet of open office and calculator, when i click on calculator it start immediatly without showing information about application?

Ubuntu Tweaks? well never tried it [02:03] FidbecK, Its a waste of both are times if you ask for help, you are given kit and you do not even try. [02:04] it* [02:04] wilee-nilee: do i have to reinstall it again 7th time [02:04] FidbecK, about my question) [02:04] oaulakh, I have nlt followed what your doing, however had you imaged it the first time before breaking it you would just be loading images. [02:05] windows is too good no problem exist in my life [02:05] wilee-nilee: I didn't even know that there was a program called airdroid. sorry.

[02:15] OerHeks, i have 13.10 [02:16] loa, oh, until release 13.10 is not supported here, join #ubuntu+1 for saucy [02:17] OerHeks, i remeber that i have equal behaviour on 12.04 too === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away [02:21] We [02:21] charley440: hello [02:21] hi [02:23] i need to install ubuntu alongside snow leopord virtualbox, no options? [02:24] virtualbox opens desktop, click ubuntu installation, no alongside option. [02:25] ubuntu 12 [02:25] 12.04.03 [02:26] charley440: what do you mean no options? [02:26] no install alongside option [02:26] There is no alongside install option, just use the space you make in virtualbox [02:26] you mean splitting the hard drive [02:27] ah [02:27] yes [02:27] dont wanna wipe mac out [02:27] just use the space of virtualbox [02:27] it is your safest bet [02:28] you could split partitions but its not safe [02:28] charley440: here is a link to help [02:28] http://store.apple.com/us/question/answers/product/MC574Z/A/how-to-dual-boot-snow-leopard-on-a-osx-lion/Q4HK2DFJHCUC4YYHD [02:28] or the mactel pages [02:28] !mac [02:28] For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [02:28] should i install from the virtualbox or mac desktop. i have either option, will it determine how ubuntu is installed [02:29] I need help with installing winows drivers w?o an internet connection [02:31] weird audio problem: rhythmbox can play music but youtube is muted and Settings > Sound shows audio vol at minimum and the slider is inactive. halp [02:41] A friend just built a new machine and moved his drives over to it. When he boots he's unable to get a network connection. The new onboard chipset uses the e1000e driver. How does he tell his Ubuntu system to now use this driver? [02:45] list [02:51] teeenooo, no warez here [02:51] no audio output devices listed in settings but sound works in some apps anyway... halp [02:51] wilee-nilee: what makes you think i'm bring warez here [02:52] wilee-nilee: well? [02:52] teeenooo, !list is a warez search you were only missing the ! [02:53] wilee-nilee… / list [02:53] not ! list [02:53] !list [02:53] wilee-nilee: No warez here!

If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [02:53] wilee-nilee, or /list in IRC which lists all channel on the server! [02:54] don't do /list. do /msg alis help [02:54] thank you Griz64 [02:54] that was missing how would I know what they were searching for more often we see !warez here is all [02:55] back on topic: why would the audio devices list be empty but sound still somewhat work? [02:55] wotwotwot, pls define your username [02:55] teeenooo: wot? [02:56] define it [02:56] what are you talking about? [02:56] define wot, pls [02:56] why would I do that? [02:56] Ubuntu 12.04 wants to check disk for errors every startup. I tried to run "sudo e2fsk /dev/sda5" on a 10.04 disk, but command was not found. Ran a SMART test and HDD passed. But, after running live cd ubuntu started fine. Possibly because the live cd shutdown properly? [02:56] better question, why wouldn't you do that [02:57] how i can backup ubuntu? [02:57] because I'm here to talk about a ubuntu problem, not semantics [02:57] i am idiot and i done home and root on one partition [02:57] In preferences, backup. [02:57] so i am searching backup for idiots. [02:57] flynn_, Had you set a fdisk to run? [02:58] flynn_, i want backup before update. [02:58] becouse evry update on 13.10 is kind of disaster lol [02:58] no. It's just default. [02:58] hey so I'm running xubuntu 13.04, and I accidentially set my mic to playback through my headset (i can hear myself) and I don't know how to turn it off ...? [02:59] flynn_, Not in 12.04 it was discontinued. [02:59] wilee-nilee, what was discontinued? [02:59] syzo, you can do it in gnome-alsamixer [02:59] i think it is "rec" [03:00] syzo: there is also pavcontrol [03:00] is it any different than regular alsamixer? I took a look through it and couldn't find out which one to set [03:01] I have 3 year hardware and find 12.04 LTS to be the most stable. 13.04 and 13.10 just didn't work as well for me. [Xubuntu is my DE] [03:01] flynn_, fdsk [03:01] I'm confused. Is there a way to check the settings of fsk? [03:01] a auto anyway [03:02] fsck that is [03:02] and pavucontrol didn't exactly help either... it's not showing any feedback whenever I talk for any of these devices, unfortunately [03:02] wilee-nilee, I never did anything with any of that. [03:02] when I run pavucontrol it says 'connection to pulseaudio failed' [03:03] syzo, try gnome-alsamixer [03:03] flynn_, Which makes me wonder if you have problems in the OS, or something, it would not run automatically, you did run the e2fsk [03:04] there is check box "Loopback mixing" [03:04] or tried to anyway [03:04] oh god [03:04] gnome-alsamixer core dumped [03:04] wilee-nillee, probably. any trouble-shooting advice [03:04] er, segfaulted [03:05] !fsck [03:05] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [03:06] flynn_, Just check the info on running it is all. [03:06] loa: http://pastebin.com/PUqZ495K [03:06] wilee-nillee, the info? I'm a beginner here. [03:06] I think I broke my machine horribly. [03:07] lol) [03:07] not machine, sound configuration... [03:07] true [03:07] maybe you use just alsa but with weird config? [03:07] flynn_, I'm not a beginner, but I have rarely used a fsck so not your best source for instructions, I would just be googling it [03:08] does _anyone_ have ideas about how to troubleshoot this issue where no audio devices show up in the output list? [03:08] syzo, i have such warning too [03:08] so it is ok except segmentation fault [03:08] I don't even know what I did o.o is there a way to get (x)ubuntu to reset all sound everything to default? [03:08] besides reinstalling :D [03:08] i think you can use --reinstall for sound [03:09] 有木有说中国话滴 [03:09] loa: meaning what? [03:10] willee-nilee, I'm sorry, but I'm not entirely sure what I would be Googling? [03:11] flynn_, Have you let it just run the fsck when it boots and starts? [03:11] bizarre. this is a vanilla install of 13.04 with a standard intel sound chip and ubuntu can't find an audio output device... yet sound works in certain programs [03:11] syzo: rm -r ~/.config/pulse; pulseaudio -k [03:11] syzo, something like this sudo apt-get --reinstall install pulseaudio [03:11] flynn_: I just do fsck -y /dev/sdx [03:11] xx [03:11] syzo, you have pulse? [03:12] ChogyDan: I tried this and rebooted, still same thing [03:12] try this ps aux | grep pulseaudio [03:12] yeah [03:12] wilee-nilee, yes, that didn't help. [03:12] Does anyone know what to do to get a download to resume during an installation in Synaptic Package Manager? My internet is flakey, and I'm worried about force-closing Synaptic every time this happens. [03:12] usr13, what does that do? [03:13] What's your favorite music app? [03:13] flynn_: just tells it to fix what it can. fsck -y /dev/sdx# (On a partition that is *not* mounted.) [03:13] is anyone even seeing my messages? I checked and channel is -q $~a [03:14] wotwotwot: I can see it [03:14] wotwotwot, + [03:14] flynn_, I would se what usr13 has to say, I'm not really the best source on this, I had to run one lately, and just googled it and how to turn it off so it would not auto run, easy for me as I understand linux somewhat, trying to weed through your problem is a whole other level though. [03:14] thanks [03:14] usr13, will it work on a 10.04 live disk? [03:15] flynn_: The -y option tells fsck to always attempt to fix any detected filesystem corruption automatically. [03:16] reinstalling pulseaudio didn't help either [03:16] try my command === Jan11 is now known as ON1 [03:16] flynn_: A live disk? No probably not. Is it USB? [03:16] maybe you don't running it [03:16] maybe you use clear alsa [03:16] flynn_: (Sorry, I'm a bit late in the conversation.) [03:16] loa: oh I rebooted [03:16] usr13, no its a regular cd-r. [03:17] should I kill it and restart it? [03:17] flynn_: Oh well, no. Forget it. [03:17] usr13, I'm talking about THIS partition. can't unmount it. [03:18] flynn_: THIS partition? [03:18] flynn_: You would need to run fsck from a boot disk. [03:19] (so as not to fsck a mounted, in-use, filesystem) [03:19] usr13, what's the difference between live cd and bootdisk/ [03:20] flynn_: A live CD *is* a boot disk. [03:20] usr13, so it won't work. I need something I can run from a live cd. [03:21] A boot disk is a removable digital data storage medium from which a computer can load and run (boot) an operating system or utility program. [03:21] flynn_: You *can* run fsck from a live CD. [03:22] syzo, some audio cards have hardware loop back and i think you enable it [03:22] ok, here I go... [03:22] just open alsamixer and switch it off [03:22] loa: lol I tried ;_; i'll try again [03:22] try press f4 or f5 when you are searching it [03:23] looks like loopback mixing it is it [03:25] syzo, and check what you are using, just run mplayer for example, it will complain if pulseaudio is down [03:27] Question: I had a drive fail in my software Raid 5 array. The new drive starts on sector 64 and the rest of the drives are on 63, will this give me a performance hit? [03:27] didn't complain, so it looks like pulseaudio is good [03:28] syzo, looks like my sound card set loopback always on) [03:28] morning to all [03:28] I got it not looping back, but I'm not sure if I fixed it or just muted my mic [03:28] so what i can do just low down amplification of microphon sound) [03:28] ok but now I want to talk in mumble [03:28] lo. [03:28] lol* [03:28] syzo, check it with something) [03:29] evening [03:29] i'm checking with mumble's audio config (gives you an in-mumble loopback to see how you sound to other people) [03:30] and it seems like it's just looping back my audio out [03:31] syzo, wait [03:31] i thought you hear you voice in your headphones [03:31] ok so [03:31] it was [03:32] I went into alsa mixer and got rid of... [03:32] hi [03:32] hi folks === Nisstyre-laptop is now known as nisstyre [03:32] something (sec), and now mumble just loops back my audio out (everything else works fine, but I can't use my mic to talk to people now) [03:33] in alsa mixer i just simple muted "rear mic" in the output section [03:33] playback section rather [03:34] syzo, enable your mic, and try pavcontrol [03:34] and look specially at input devices. [03:34] maybe there selected not microphone as input device) [03:35] pulseaudio is complicated for me =/ tried delete it few times, but looks like all works better with pulseaudio [03:35] and alsa dmixer is buggy =/ [03:36] so I can hear myself again, and in input devices I see two things: "monitor of [...] hdmi" (for my graphics card) and "monitor of build-in analog stereo", none of which gives any graphical feedback (blue bar) when I talk [03:36] usr13, So, I ran fsck -y /dev/sda5 and got an error. /dev/sda5 was not cleanly unmounted, check forced. [03:36] can I use the two screen in same time with independent and integrated graphics card [03:36] i can do it in wondows [03:37] tinlee, you should be able to, although you might have more trouble with it as I think you'll have to run 2 instances of X === Nothing_Much_ is now known as Nothing_Much [03:38] tinlee, don't quote me on that! It might be that your bios will only enable 1 at a time. [03:38] oooooh I may have fixed it, gimme a sec to check in mumble [03:39] im looking for a colored terminal, instead of config bash to colours any package hints? [03:39] lotuspsychje: the apps do the colors. not the terminal [03:40] i used windows done ,i think bios is enable [03:40] so clarify what you need. ;-) [03:41] dr_willis: ive read a tutorial howto color bash text, but i like my green on black theme terminal, i just wanted to know if you can download a terminal that does colours like (ls does) [03:41] or colortail [03:41] alright cool I think I got it... never touching audio settings again hopefully :) thanks loa [03:42] syzo, wrong input device?) [03:43] lotuspsychje: ls prints the color codes. if you want to colorizcommands. the command needs the feature. or you use comthing like colortail [03:43] the terminal has nothing to do with it..it just shows the commands output [03:44] dr_willis: this is the tutorial i found: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomizingBashPrompt [03:44] dr_willis: but i dont wanna mess with my terminal [03:44] and thats justnthe prompt [03:44] it was a combination of alsa mixer (I needed to disable the "rear mic" option in Playback), and I chose the wrong thing in pavucontrol in the configuration tab: I needed to select "analog stereo duplex" for my built-in audio instead of just analog stereo input or output [03:45] lotuspsychje: http://travelingfrontiers.wordpress.com/2010/08/22/how-to-add-colors-to-linux-command-line-output/ [03:45] lotuspsychje: if you want to colorize the 'dd' you got sone work to do fornexample [03:46] so no other terminal i can download to show it all in colours? [03:46] its not a terminal feature [03:46] but doesnt xterminal got other themes or so? [03:46] the terminal is just readingnthe ansinescapencodesnfor.color [03:47] you can colourize your prompt in .bashrc or .zshrc [03:47] themes haven nothing tondonwith the commands output [03:47] Seven_Six_Two: yes but i like my green on black aswell :p [03:48] lotuspsychje, oh yes, that's my choice as well. for terminals and irc. It reminds me of my Apple II+ [03:48] Seven_Six_Two: but i like the way ls or syslog.1 colours up, so im searching to see all text in such colours [03:49] filter all output through colortail. or some other log colorizer === Sickki_ is now known as Sickki [03:50] lotuspsychje: that's because ls is probably aliased to show colors on your system - you'll get colors only if the program supports it; if it doesn't, good luck === jeremy_ is now known as Guest86216 [03:51] syzo: yes thats what dr_willis said, its program related [03:51] ah ok.. wasn't really following this convo too closely [03:51] ls has ls -show-color as an alias === Guest26308 is now known as bigtip [03:53] the only thing the terminal controls is the number of colors. like xterm vs xterm-256 === Mr_Caboose is now known as Mysterytrain [03:57] Everytime startup ubuntu does a check on my disk.

[05:16] !info flash [05:16] Package flash does not exist in raring [05:16] !info flaskk [05:16] Package flaskk does not exist in raring [05:16] !info flask [05:16] Package flask does not exist in raring [05:16] i give up. ;) [05:18] !info uwgsi [05:18] Package uwgsi does not exist in raring === rafael is now known as Guest16942 [05:18] !find uwgsi [05:18] Package/file uwgsi does not exist in raring [05:19] heh = your luck as ias bad as mine [05:19] python-flask is what I see on the web and attached to uwgsi, yeah lol [05:21] Can you use Gparted to go back and re-name an "extended partition" - Example before "/dev/sdb6 /home" After re-name "/dev/sdb6 /home/ubuntu" - Will this work ? Thanks [05:23] thats not the NAME of the partion. Unless you mean the filesystems 'label' You can change the label with gparted. or tune2fs [05:23] Partition in question is an extended off of 1 main partition. [05:23] if you want to change teh MOUNTPOINT of the fulesystem. thats not a gparted thing You do that in /etc/fstab [05:24] if you got sdb6 mountin to /home/ and want to make it mount to /other-home/ that should be defined in /etc/fstab [05:24] where should i mail for a znc ? [05:25] dr_willis: Yes What I basically needed to know that it is ok to do a rename of a folder, which I errantly called a "drive" [05:26] i think you may not understand how things get mounted [05:26] the directory the filesystem is mounting to (via fstab) MUST exist befor it will mount to the folder [05:26] !mount [05:26] mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [05:26] !fstab [05:27] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system.

[05:40] Yes. [05:40] Ceninant: i imagine so.. but if you want netflix on linux... what other option is there [05:40] Not using netflix. [05:40] i got a roku plugged into a usb video capture dongle. [05:40] run cheese.. and i see netflix. ;) === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [05:49] I'm trying to optmize my netbook to get it to run Netflix the best it can. I figured a lightweight ubuntu would be the best best. Maybe I need a RAM upgrade. :-\ [05:50] I uninstalled pavucontrol in hopes of using alsamixer for sound. Now, my sound completely went off, speaker applet icon disappeared, pressing volume keys doesnt work, and reinstalling pulse audio did not help one bit. Running ubuntu 12.04 LTS on an acer aspire one netbook (intel atom CPU, 2Gb RAM) [05:50] Any fix? [05:50] darth_damian_000: what exactly did you do [05:51] Ceninant: what's your current spec? [05:51] aeon-ltd: 1st generation ideapad s3 [05:51] I can't open the synaptic packet manager [05:52] package* [05:52] Ceninant: also you should rule out internet speed as the problem first [05:52] it's not internet speed..one sec let me get exact specs [05:52] At first, the system came without pulseaudio, but then I installed it for a reason I cannot remember. Then, I did "housecleaning" and I figured out I don't need pulseaudio, so I uninstalled it. After the uninstall, i rebooted, and the speaker icon no longer appeared, and I haven't had sound since. [05:52] i ran a command to completely uninstall pavucontrol [05:53] well you broke it by doing that [05:53] I can't open the synaptic packet manager [05:53] Is there a fix? [05:53] 1.6 GHz Intel Atom, single core Diamondville, 1 GB ram, I think intel 945GMA [05:54] how did it come without pulse audio? what os did you install exactly? [05:54] darth_damian_000: i haven't seen one for that, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist [05:54] Ceninant: also netflix is available on iphone and android they have 1-2gb of ram, i think it's highly unlikely ram would help much. unless by increasing the ram you can allocate more to the gpu [05:54] ubuntu 12.04 LTS [05:54] i remember when I installed pulseaudio (trying to fix a mic issue)...it was available in the software center [05:55] darth_damian_000: pulse is included with ubuntu. [05:55] and has been for quite a while [05:55] id say reinstall the ubuntu-desktop package to try to pull in everything that might have been removed [05:55] aeon-ltd, I'm talking RAM because of OS and browser overhead [05:56] dr_willis, is that different from a clean install? [05:56] can i reinstall from a live USB ? [05:56] Ceninant: are you maxing out when using netflix/streaming currently? [05:56] or is there another method? === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [05:56] Let me check.. [05:56] a 'clean' install in my definition.. is a total whipe and a reinstall of the os [05:56] thats always doable if you want to i guess [05:57] but if thats what you wanted to do. ;) why are you asking how to fix it. ;P [05:57] is there a way to reinstall (without upgrading) the system, preserving all hard drive data? [05:57] I do not want to do this, but this is a last resort [05:58] darth_damian_000: do you have a separate /home partition? [05:58] a reinstall will want to format the / partion [05:58] thats the safest way to be sure to have a working system, [05:58] a use of a /home partion makes reinstalling uch easier [05:59] I still love my netbook, even if people say tablets have eclipsed them. [05:59] aeon-ltd, no I do not have one. If i want to create one, how much disk space should I dedicate to it? [05:59] darth_damian_000: whatever you need [06:00] as much as you need. ;) [06:00] and what is the purpose of the home partition anyway? [06:00] i got my /home/ on a 3TB hd. [06:00] its ALL your users files [06:00] oh you mean [06:00] "/" [06:00] tablets are a fad [06:00] i thought thats considered "root" [06:00] Focalor, not really [06:01] Ceninant: there are lighter desktop environments you can use that can free up some ram if you want to test this, if performance increases then i guess a ram upgrade would help, but there are no guarantees an extra 1gb would make it perfectly smooth [06:01] Ceninant, I upgraded my netbook to 2GB ram and...i still see choppy video [06:01] the CPU is the bottleneck in netbooks [06:02] ive had to reencode video to get some to play back nicely on my old netbook [06:02] kostkon, sure they are I can do everything on one could do on a tablet with my cellphone [06:02] darth_damian_000: /home is Radically differnt from / [06:02] all yoru users have a home directoru in /home/Theusersname [06:03] android, knees bees [06:03] You keep it on a seperate partion. so if you have to reformat/reinstall you dont lose the USERS home files [06:03] ahh okay I see [06:03] Focalor: a cellphone is not as ideal for consuming media and browsing [06:03] * dr_willis has replaced several PC's with tablets in his house [06:03] ;) now if only i can find a ChromeCast Dongle or 3 [06:03] can I perhaps backup /home and all of its contents to a flash drive, and expect all of my user files recovered after the reinstall? [06:04] darth_damian_000: with work.. yes [06:04] thanks for all of your help [06:04] aeon-ltd, depends on screen size [06:05] darth_damian_000, remember to clean up older kernels if you decide to create a separate / partition. Usually one kernel occupies around 100 MB, so do the maths yourself. It is recommended to keep at least the last working one though. [06:05] not only that but you can stream media from your phone to other devices [06:06] o_O [06:06] I'm watching star trek TNG and I have no choppy video [06:06] currently I'm using a note2 [06:06] Focalor: yeah i feel that 7" is too small, and being 16:9 or 16:10 doesn't help for browsing the web, the ipad 4:3 works much better [06:07] why can't i open synaptic package manger? [06:07] ill do more research, thanks varun_ [06:07] Guest66522, what is the error message you get? [06:07] nothing [06:07] i click it and nothing happens [06:08] run it from a terminal. look for errors [06:08] Guest66522, which DE? Unity? [06:08] xubuntu [06:08] hue [06:08] Guest66522, please do what dr_willis said ^ [06:10] it works [06:10] no error. [06:11] so it runs normally from a terminal? [06:12] 1gb ram..definitely going to upgrade it to 2 at some point, and get a 9 cell battery [06:12] its hard to justify upgradeing my netbook. when it only cost me like $150 on sale. ;) [06:13] i could put another $300 in it wih a ssd and ram and so forth. ;P [06:13] $50 worth of upgrades to have triple battery life and another gig of ram? yeah, worth it. [06:13] it's my #1 tool for notetaking [06:13] all i do with mine is IRC. ;) at work [06:14] I carry it to class and type all my notes with it. I use a Wacom tablet to do math notes as well. [06:14] how can I debug multicast packets not reaching from a wireless device to other machines in the network? I have a layer 2 bridge between wlan0 and eth0, and I'm running leapcast (chromecast copy w/ python) on the same router machine (full blown PC), and my android devices can't find it. not a fault in leapcast, atleast i think so. could it be my wireless card (using hostapd btw) can't handle multicast? [06:15] Ceninant, i did just that some months ago, upgraded it to 2gb [06:15] bindi: use a packet sniffer [06:16] Hmm. All I had to do was change the bitrate settings in my account preferences. I can't tell the difference because the screen is less than 720p [06:18] Ben64: on which interface? networking isn't my strongest skill :p [06:22] sudo apt-get install qemu-system [06:23] how to know pakeage name "qemu-system" ? [06:24] Hey guys, my courser is experiencing slight choppiness, [06:24] dellos: apt-cache search pattern [06:25] dr_willis, for example ? [06:27] can anyone help me with a choppy cursor? [06:27] dellos: pick a term.. any term... [06:27] dellos: such as 'qemu' [06:28] !find qemu [06:28] Found: ipxe-qemu, qemu-common, qemu-keymaps, qemu-kvm, qemu-system, qemu-system-arm, qemu-system-common, qemu-system-mips, qemu-system-misc, qemu-system-ppc (and 14 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=qemu&searchon=names&suite=raring§ion=all [06:28] dr_willis, apt-cache qemu is not work [06:28] anyone know if Ubuntu installs its bootloader in mbr or on a partition? [06:29] i dualboot with win7 [06:29] wrenny, grub goes to partition grub bootloader should go to mbr, whats the problem? [06:30] dellos: reread the command example i gave [06:30] dellos: apt-cache search pattern <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< note the 'search' [06:30] wrenny, if NOT using UEFI, then by default it installs it (GRUB) on the MBR. On UEFI system, it goes to the partition [06:30] wanting to use Truecrypt [06:31] wrenny: grub normally goes on the mbr. I dont think mixxing truecrypt in - will be a good idea ;) [06:31] says not compatiblde with bootloader on mbr, it has to be moved to partition [06:32] well if I don't care if I lose the Ubuntu instaall maybe I can just let it go? [06:32] hello, has anyone tried the QML package by niemeyer? [06:33] TC will overwrite the mbr i guess [06:33] I'm getting the following warning when trying to build with go 1.2 [06:33] can't build package github.com/niemeyer/qml because it contains C++ files (all.cpp) but it's not using cgo nor SWIG [06:35] I can remove all.cpp, but why does go care if theres an extra cpp file not being used? [06:35] hello [06:39] any easy utils to completely remove Ubuntu from a dualboot system with win7? [06:40] dr_willis, it realy helpful [06:40] wrenny, windows disk manager will remove partitions. [06:41] wrenny: delete and repartion the drives as you want after you get windows bootloader working [06:41] that to === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away [06:43] yea but if I just delete the linux partitions then what [06:43] wont be able to boot into windows [06:43] re-read what dr_willis said [06:44] hi [06:44] i dont know how to 'get' the bootloader working [06:45] see #windows for how to reinstall the windows bootloader [06:45] wrenny, They can help with the windows bootloader in ##windows [06:45] MS likes to change it every new version [06:46] does anyone here have experience with serviio? I cannot seem to get my smart tv to see that server, I'm pretty sure it is closed ports but I don't know which to open [06:46] try opening them all as a short term test? [06:48] dr_willis, I know it works, my iphone sitting behind the firewall can see the server (via dlna client app) [06:48] so what makes you think its closed ports? [06:48] my tv sits outside said firewall [06:50] currently its cable ---> router ---> ethernet switch ---> smart tv (wired) ---> wireless firewall/server/media box running ubuntu ----> all other devices connected wireless to firewall === ForevernadeAFK is now known as forevernade === forevernade is now known as Forevernade [06:51] maybe it would be safer security wise to just connect the tv to the box wirelessly [06:51] *the firewall/server box [06:51] i dont really see the point of haveing a firewall on the inside part of the lan. - the router has firewalling features. [06:52] but i know how goofy home networks can get. ;) [06:53] i have 2 routers on mine. becasue i dont want to change the settings on the halfdozen+ internet devices that are set to use the 2nd (older) router [06:54] Cisco Router, dr.? [06:54] the router is actually the modem that connects to the cable company for internet [06:55] the ethernet switch is the old netgear with a broken wireless antenna, so I disabled the wifi and used it as a switch [06:55] It joins both ur home and isp network [06:56] ubuntu box was a old netbook I set up to use to mess around with and learn networking on, it acts as a wifi router and a firewall with something I can ssh to [06:57] I wanted to set up a media server to dlna stuff to my tv but that is failing right now [06:57] I could take and put the tv behind the firewall but I may end up blocking other "smart" services ports and I don't want that D: [06:57] It joins both ur home and isp network [06:58] CHA0, ?? [06:58] my pc with the dlna server is on both my routers. ;) wired on one side. wireless on the other. [06:58] that way it can dlna serve to both sides [07:02] hi [07:03] hellos === GingerGeek[Away] is now known as GingerGeek === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [07:22] Hallo!

[08:41] #ubuntu-tw [08:41] xeeder: you keep saying that, but theres just keyboard shortcuts in mplayer, you do not have to type stuff on a command line to do anything [08:42] xeeder: what's this obsession with CLI? [08:43] xeeder: click on the video in nautilus and it plays [08:43] i've never understood the purpose of a gui for playing a video... its going to be full screened or if not, you care about the content, not the window around it [08:44] Ben64: yup [08:44] Ben64: and how are you supposed to operate the controls, scramble around to find the mouse and try and click on them? [08:45] dunno, easier for me to hit "v" if i want to enable/disable subs [08:45] I have one hard disk partitioned into three. One for SWAP, one for Windows 7, and one for Linux. I have my music on my Windows partition, but from Linux I have to open the file-manager and access the drive for it to be mounted. So if I open music player Rhythmbox it clears the playlist as the partition is not mounted. How do I set it to automount the NTFS partition on boot-up? [08:46] Ascavasaion: add it to /etc/fstab [08:46] !fstab | Ascavasaion [08:46] Ascavasaion: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [08:46] gordonjcp: Cool, thank you :) I did view the fstab file and saw no entry there for it, so I did not know how the file-manager was mounting it. [08:48] theres an auto-mounting feature that can be used [08:48] Ascavasaion: automount [08:48] Ascavasaion: but you want it coming up straight away, so in this case use fstab [08:48] Aaaah, okay... thank you for the pointers... will figure automount out... ta. [08:48] ;) if th item has an entry in the fstab i think it gets overlooked by the auto-mounting of the fil;e manager [08:48] yup [08:48] gordonjcp: fstab for sure then :) [08:48] IF you want it mounted at boot time. with full controll of the options - use the fstab [08:48] even if it's unmounted [08:48] Thank you guys :) [08:49] because if there's an entry in fstab, automount just makes the perfectly sensible assumption that you know what you're doing and it should just stay off [08:49] gordonjcp: HAHA, cool.

How do I fix that? [11:15] internetpanda: Now try the installation again [11:15] k [11:16] just to be clear use this command: sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-common mysql-client [11:16] So I just upped nofile in /etc/security/limits.conf for the UID of the user I want to have higher limits (I'm doing a lot of file watching). but I still can't `ulimit -n` higher than 4096 [11:16] this is an improvement — it was 1024 before, so *something* took. but I don't know why I am hitting another limit now. is there something else have to set?

[12:02] k as i understand ubuntu can work without swap right? [12:03] cdn: If you have free space now, it will be possible to create sda6 and sda7 and sda8 etc. [12:03] cdn: Whether ubuntu works without swap is irrelevant to your project. [12:04] cdn: (There is no need to delete the swap partition.) [12:04] internetpanda: Now try the installation again [12:04] the reason for the question is: I cant hang in a 2nd hdd because its a vm and i dont have access to hdd menu in vmware [12:04] k [12:05] k my main problem is that i cant find good descriptions how to shrink partitions [12:05] cdn: Not so sure about that. (Check to make sure your assumption(s) are correct.) [12:05] I have a VPS server on ubuntu 11.04, and just realized it's past EOL. I'd like to 'sudo do-release-upgrade', but get command not found. But I can't do 'sudo apt-get install update-manager-core update-manager' since the 11.04 repositories are gone. Is there a way to install the package without the 11.04 repos? [12:06] rory do I want to uninstall mysql-common mysql-server and mysql-client first? [12:06] >using ubuntu server [12:06] >not using BDS or Debian [12:06] cdn: The installer has gparted which will shrink partitions for you, but it is up to you to figure out a logical way, (which ones and how much to shrink). [12:06] BSD* [12:06] usr123 i dont have gui [12:07] *usr13 i dont have a gui can gparted run in console? [12:07] cdn: no [12:07] iam unable to start any iso because my provider dont give me access to it [12:07] cdn no, the g in gparted is a 'sign' that it's graphical [12:08] cdn: But, if you are talking about a vm, that is all different. [12:08] cdn: What is the host OS? [12:08] vmware [12:08] cdn: What is the host OS? [12:09] cdn: What is the Operating System of the host?

[12:10] rory it acted like in installed, now how do I configure the root pw? [12:11] Rory: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6140928/ [12:11] internetpanda: You do not configure any root password. [12:11] !root | internetpanda [12:11] internetpanda: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password.

Default it opens in Archive manager, and I have to right click, other etc to open. Any way to manually select a default program? [12:14] bekks, why dont I? [12:14] internetpanda: the mysql root pw is NOT the system user root password. [12:14] I know that bekks [12:14] I need the mysql user named root's password [12:15] internetpanda: That not the system user root. Thats the mysql user root. [12:15] which is what I have been talking about this entire time [12:15] internetpanda: And mysql asks you for setting it when installing mysql for the first time. [12:16] bekks rory and I are working on this problem. when you install mysql it doesnt let me set the password it errors out [12:16] hello guys [12:16] internetpanda: With which error?

OR does the root user already have a password because you tried earlier? [12:19] that's after I purge [12:19] and remove [12:20] so nothing is installed or running [12:20] internetpanda: Wrong. [12:20] internetpanda: The database files will not be purged hopefully. [12:20] Where to post feature requests? [12:20] For Ubuntu itself [12:20] okay so then how do I clean it completely? [12:21] internetpanda: By removing all traces after purging. Look at /var/lib/mysql after purging.

[12:54] how did you manage to lose the partition tableß [12:54] ? [12:55] the hamburgler stole it [12:57] honestly: i dont know. [12:57] honestly: just gone one day [12:57] tripppy: the only partition table recovery utility I know is testdisk [12:57] tripppy: Thats impossible. What did you do before? [12:58] bekks: oh. i think there was a power shortage one night. [12:58] honestly: testdisk is not doing it for me. thanks for help [12:58] tripppy: Which doesnt kill partition tables. [12:59] bekks: thats the only thing that went wrong [12:59] tripppy: Which isnt the reason for your lost partition table. [12:59] is there a way to encrypt my files that i backup to another location? [12:59] such as a server? [12:59] tripppy: And since testdisk does work for you, you must have done something else. [13:00] bekks: its a basic headless system to download and share files. i set it up and leave it. doing everything remotely. [13:00] it had been running fine for 6months [13:01] tripppy: And you did something, which led to removing your partition table. A power outage doesnt do that. [13:01] bekks: no i didnt do anything. i download torrents on it and share files. i hadn't accessed a terminal or ssh'd into it. [13:02] tripppy, legal files? [13:02] tripppy: A partition table doesnt get destroyed on its own. [13:02] bekks: another hard drive "lost" its data at the same time. but seems to have put them into the lost+found [13:02] Why don´t KompoZer add in Software Center of Ubuntu? [13:02] cfhowlett: yes, all *nix iso's [13:03] bekks: does that mean anything? [13:03] zippo^, sudo apt-get install kompozer [13:03] tripppy: You are mixing up things. The partition tabel is not part of the filesystem, and only filesystem data gets recovered in lost+found. So you are experiencing two different things. [13:04] tripppy: So do you have a backup? [13:04] ffs [13:04] could you all stop talking bullshit [13:04] they said : no found, cfhowlett [13:04] honestly: Could you watch your language? [13:04] zippo^, I'm on xubuntu 12.04 and Kompozer is in the Universe repo [13:04] bekks: this happened at the same time. i was trying to provide you with as much information as possible of what happened at the time - two hard drives two separate problems, but it happened at the same time. [13:05] the system going down unexpectedly due to power outage is a possible cause for hard drive corruption [13:05] ow ok [13:05] Hi everyone :) , How to install gz file on ubuntu ? [13:05] honestly: thats what i thought, but bekks says no [13:05] I wil search [13:05] honestly: Then try to explain, technically, how a filesystem error is going to corrupt the partition table. Until you do, please stop talking FUD. [13:05] zippo^, enable your universe repo and it should appear. [13:06] unplug a usbstick with writing happening to it. will stuff it up right? [13:06] root32: You unpack them, most likely read the README file, or the installatiom guide, and follow the instructions. [13:06] tripppy: It will coprrupt the filesystem, not the partition table. [13:06] bekks: How to unpack it ? i mean command ? === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [13:07] I am running 12.4 and on a new system I decided to use encrypted home directory - in the past I have always used whole disk encryption. Directory operations seem to be MUCH slower, ls for example now takes a few seconds - is this typical [13:07] root32: What are you going to do as your end goal? [13:07] tripppy: still, only testdisk will help you to rebuild the partition table. if that doesn't works, you'll have to recover what you can from the hard drive and reformat it. [13:07] bekks: ok. so how do i find the start and end of two different partition types on the same HDD? [13:07] tripppy: By using testdisk. [13:09] too no found cfhowlett [13:09] :/ [13:09] MonkeyDust you there man? [13:09] but I will download and do on /opt [13:09] bekks: :D [13:09] whats the terminal command to disable metacity compositing? [13:09] BruceS: Disk encryption consumes CPU resources and slows down disk I/O. Thats normal. [13:10] openbox [13:10] bekks, honestly : testdisk says "Partition: Read error" ive done a search and a deeper search, which take a few days. i get nothing! so disk is broke? [13:10] ljsoftnet: metacity --sm-disable as you already have been told. [13:10] tripppy: Yes. [13:11] root32: your end goal is ":D" ? Anyway... installing stuff by gz is not supported in #ubuntu and can cause upgrade problems, not to mention anything installed that way won't be receiving security updates. you should find what you need in the repository, or a PPA if necessary [13:11] bekks it gives me this Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display ":0" already has a window manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current window manager. [13:11] ljsoftnet: Then read that message carefully. [13:11] zippo^, start software, look at sources. verify that your UNIVERSE repos is enabled. [13:11] bekks i did --replace but when i logout and login again metacity compositing is enabled still [13:12] ljsoftnet: Then use --sm-disable AND --replace [13:13] yes i did enable universe, cfhowlett [13:14] bekks still the same compositing is still enable [13:14] hello, my sound indicator missed =/ [13:15] what i can check? [13:15] zippo^, hmm. OK. let's update your system sources and packages. Copy and paste this into a terminal: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get install kompozer [13:16] ok i will try, cfhowlett [13:16] bekks: I appreciate that there should be some overhead - but when I do entire disk encrption, or even use encfs, I do not notice it.

[13:17] ihre: That depends on your setup. [13:18] bekks: I would also add that compared to the speed of disk access the actual encryption should be trivial - is there something wrong or is what I am seeing typical [13:18] BruceS: I do not use disk encryption myself, sorry. [13:18] bekks: ty [13:19] re-quest - does anyone have experience of using encrypted home directory and finding it slow, or for that matter, not slow - I am wondering if I have something wrong [13:20] BruceS: i use encrypted home folder - no issue's, old system,linux mint dont even notice and speed issues [13:21] BruceS: not slow [13:21] bekks: http://dpaste.com/1391597/, I ran apt-get upgrade in the precise64 box. Im pretty sure I need /dev/sda now, though [13:21] tripppy: ty - that's what I suspected - I need to see what is wrong with this new system then [13:21] i run "metacity --replace -c" how do i go back to not use compositing?

[15:10] ffmpeg is giving me a message that it is deprecated and I should use avconv - so I tried to install avconv, where is it? [15:11] BruceS: ffmpeg isnt depricated. Use continue using it. [15:12] bekks: the message that it gives me is that it is - why do you say that it is not? [15:12] bekks, BruceS: the "ffmpeg" command *is* deprecated in the avconv project [15:12] BruceS: avconv is in libav-tools [15:12] BruceS: you're not using ffmpeg, you're using avconv (the ffmpeg fork) [15:13] is there any solution Daekdroom MonkeyDust locking workspaces on ubuntu unity [15:14] zykotick9: my system when running synaptic tells me that libav-tools IS installed yet there is no man page etc. How do I find and use avconv? [15:15] BruceS: you should have a man page for avconv [15:15] jrib: indeed I do - OOPS [15:16] BruceS winFF is a nice frontend for avconv/FFmpeg [15:16] BruceS: keep in mind, ffmpeg is still better at somethings then avconv.... [15:16] ty all so much - this is why I love this channel and stick with Ubuntu rather than another distro [15:17] BruceS: there's some history here if you care: http://blog.pkh.me/p/13-the-ffmpeg-libav-situation.html [15:17] zykotick9, avconv is no longer available on 13.10 , it's been replaced by ffmpeg :) [15:17] Can anyone help me with this please? http://askubuntu.com/questions/348732/ubuntu-13-04-intel-amd-radaeon-hd8770m-problem [15:17] zykotick9: ok - but if ffmpeg is deprecated then I really want to avoid it - our code tends to stick around for years and we have 100s of machines in coffee shops and bars all over the world [15:17] BluesKaj: ;) i see. thanks. [15:18] avconv wasn't very useful , ffmpeg was fine ..dunno why the change [15:18] BruceS: did you see BluesKaj comment above? perhaps it is the reverse that is true for ubuntu. [15:19] BruceS: there's ffmpeg the command, and ffmpeg the project. You aren't using the ffmpeg project. You are using libav, which is a fork of the ffmpeg project. In libav, they decided to deprecate the ffmpeg command. But the ffmpeg project is still around (though not in 13.04's repos I think) and it still uses the ffmpeg command to do its thing [15:19] BluesKaj: and zykotick9 I just love that - ffmpeg on 12.4 tells me it is deprecated and to use avconv and on 13.10 (which of course is not out yet) they apparently are going the other way [15:20] BruceS, ignore the avconv message, ffmpeg is back and works as well as ever [15:20] jrib: how would I get the real ffmpeg then - I did an apt-get install ffmpeg to get the one I have [15:21] BluesKaj, the FFMPEG metapackage points to AVconv ...] [15:21] BruceS, avconv was merely a wrapper for ffmprg [15:21] jrib: zykotick9 BluesKaj I just tested - and on other distros I do not get the message - so this seems to be some Canonical issue, is it? [15:21] OerHeks, not on 13.10 [15:21] BruceS: you'd probably have to build it if you really wanted it. I would stay stick with what's packaged. [15:22] BluesKaj, oke, nice to know. [15:22] BruceS: it depends on whether you are using libav or ffmpeg on the other distros. It *may* be a debian-specific patch to inform users that the ffmpeg command is actually being provided by libav [15:22] jrib: I would certainly agree with that advice = but I do not want it to go away [15:22] BruceS: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libav/+bug/939863 [15:22] Ubuntu bug 939863 in libav (Ubuntu Precise) "Warning message from ffmpeg program needs update" [Low,Fix released] [15:22] avconv is justa name , it's still ffmpeg underneath [15:22] BluesKaj: well, it's a fork really... [15:22] hey guys ... i tried to install samba4 as Active Directory and a installer showed up which gave me no chance to configure my domain name and stuff ... can i change it afterwards ? [15:23] jrib: no - I tried on real debian and ffmpeg does not give me the message - this is why I asked if it is a Cannonical issue [15:23] or is there a way to change it before the installer starts ? [15:23] BruceS: no, ffmpeg from debian (main) DOES give the deprecated message! [15:24] zykotick9: then somehow I have a different ffmpeg or debian that you - mine does not - but I am thinking from all that all say here I will stick with ffmpeg and not worry [15:24] for wirless internet connection firmware missing what should i do for this i didnt getting anything [15:24] BruceS: it's a libav vs ffmpeg issue. You may not be seeing it debian because the status there has changed but the latest ubuntu hasn't caught up yet (since ubuntu takes a snapshot of debian) [15:24] we are moving our clients off ubuntu before the end of life on 12.4 anyway [15:26] BruceS that would be 2017 [15:27] MonkeyDust: yes - that is why we are not in too much of a hurry - and why I like 12.4 LTS [15:27] 13.04, how do we stop unity from automatically remounting LVM partitions when they are manually closed ("sudo vgchange -an VG") ? [15:28] hello could someone please let me know which channel is for support and help for ubuntu? thank you [15:28] oh! is this the correct channel? [15:29] Yes it is [15:29] lovely [15:29] but stillt no ones feels like helping me out though ;-D [15:30] FYI avconv is no longer in the 13.10 repos, ffmpeg is... just tested in a 13.10 chroot [15:30] i installed ubuntu 10 min. ago. could someone help me of what i have to do before starting to messing around with my new OS? [15:30] should the anonymous get help? [15:30] MonkeyDust: wonderful - how confusing could they make it [15:31] anonymous_ , you haven't asked a question. [15:31] recently. [15:31] <__marco> Hello, I built the qemu-kvm package for precise with vde support but then I cannot upload it to a repository with reprepro: file 'qemu-kvm_1.0+noroms.orig.tar.gz' is needed for ... not yet registered in the pool and not found in ....changes [15:31] <__marco> in the .changes file there is no entry for the orig.tar.gz file but I don't know why [15:32] i did :D short version : ubuntu 12.04 samba4 as AD -> apt-get install samba4 -> installer shows up -> no chance to change domain name or anything -> install done -> -> can i change it somehow without ruin the working domain ? [15:32] dmavroid, What do you mean? YOu don't have to do anything. :) [15:32] dmavroid: nothing, go ahead and mess around. Maybe read the docs [15:32] dmavroid: help.ubuntu.com [15:32] <__marco> should I build it with -b flag? [15:32] anonymous_: it requires a manual setup [15:33] MonkeyDust: zykotick9 jrib: the page: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9477115/who-can-tell-me-the-difference-and-relation-between-ffmpeg-libav-and-avconv covers this mess - and what a mess [15:33] Thanks guys! thats what i was expecting from ubuntu! to be AWESOME [15:33] is a there a working howto out there ? the ones i found are just outdated ;( ? [15:33] BruceS: is ffmpeg really replacing libav in ubuntu 13.10? [15:33] dont want to waste your time too much guys :D [15:33] anonymous_: there isn't really a set "howto" as there are a lot of options. [15:34] anonymous_: most of the outdated guides should be valid as samba4 is still "new" and hasn't changed much in terms of setup / functionality [15:34] just upgraded some packages on 13.10 , suddenly ffmpeg is depracated again ..why can't the devs lwabe a good thing alone ? [15:35] leave a good thing alone [15:35] BluesKaj: raise a bug asking [15:35] BluesKaj: this is exactly the sort of mess there is, I agree - it is idiotic things like this that keep Windoze and MacOS alive [15:36] BluesKaj: you're likely still using libav. And it's just stating (admittedly in a confusing way) that the ffmpeg is deprecated for the libav project; use avconv instead. I think. I haven't checked what's actually going on in 13.10 [15:36] but still very different from each other , i was hoping to get some "thats the way it should be done" howto :-D ..... ok ikonia thank u very much for answering my questions :) have a nice day [15:36] just like pulseaudio ...alsa was working just fine [15:36] anonymous_: there is no such way [15:37] BluesKaj: because they don't have people like me working on the project. I don't know how many times I've told my developers that "just because you can, doesn't mean you should" [15:37] the bias probably comes from the fact the debian maintainer is one of the libav developers, but we may be veering off-topic at this point [15:37] BluesKaj: the pules alsa is WORSE because they are not even compatible - at least it appears that avconv and ffmpeg accept the same command line parameters - at least the ones I use seem to work the same [15:37] marianne_, yeah , shades of 2009 , pulseaudio as a sound server [15:38] jrib, adding that config item to /etc/gtk-3.0/settings.ini gtk-enable-primary-paste = true did not work [15:38] pac1: did you try adding to gtkrc-2.0 too? [15:38] BruceS, ok , good to hear about avconv working for you [15:38] Hi. On Ubuntu 12.04 I need to create a CA, let it sign with a official paid cert, and then issue client-certs with it. Those should work for apache2 as well as for openvpn. How to do this? Use gnuTLS or openssl? Need to install+configure a DNS/BIND first? [15:38] BluesKaj: yeah, I got hosed on that one and almost went to installing 'another' OS [15:38] there is no rc in /etc/gtk-2.0 [15:39] Hello I want to stop booting into Xorg by default and just boot to tty. I'll run startx when I need xorg. How can I do this? [15:39] pac1: I use ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini [15:39] geiowfj: You shall not use startx anymore since thats depricated. [15:39] NEone: openssl is what we have used for all cert stuff - however, you request is a little confusing [15:39] pac1: note that I believe the syntax differs between them [15:40] bekks it works in Debian, though. Isn't Ubuntu based on Debian? [15:40] gaw... gotta go back to work, unless someone out there will break up this vendor whitepaper into 2 levels of support.... so boring! [15:40] no direcrory named .gtk* [15:40] geiowfj: Ubuntu isnt debian. Basically, its irrelevant whats working in Debian. [15:40] Why do I get a red caution symbol in my taskpane above even after all updates have been installed? [15:40] BruceS: it looks like libav still is used in 13.10 afaict. My suggestion to you is to read the differences between libav and ffmpeg and decide for yourself which you want to use. Libav is packaged in debian/ubuntu by default. For ffmpeg you're going to have to rely on some third-party repository or build it yourself [15:41] pac1: I create those files [15:41] aha. [15:41] * bl4ckdu5t will appreciate an answer to his asked question [15:41] where do you get the syntax? [15:42] pac1: google :P [15:42] BruceS: Why confusing? What I want to achieve is: Customer needs to connect with openvpn using his client cert. Once that's done, he visits a virtual domain of the apache2 using his browser and again the client cert. Apache2 shall refuse to deliver the site if a) visitor is not in the tunnel or b) visitor does not have a valid client cert. Is this a possible scenario? [15:42] pac1: gtk-enable-primary-paste = 0 [15:42] pac1: or 1 in your case [15:42] jrib: I agree - and ty - we will stick with ffmpeg - despite its "deprecated" message until we are finally off ubuntu I think - I will hope that it will last as long as 12.4LTS [15:42] BruceS: you aren't using ffmpeg. [15:42] hi all [15:42] brb trying = 1 [15:43] Why do I get a red caution symbol in my taskpane above on my Ubuntu 12.04 even after all updates have been installed? [15:43] BruceS: maybe we should use "Ffmpeg" for the project and "ffmpeg" for the command [15:43] NEone: it is your signing scenario that sounds confusing [15:43] jrib: GrEaT and create the same confusion as pErL [15:43] NEone: If the tunnel has its own sub-net, you can discriminate on that as well as the ClientCertificate requirement [15:44] BruceS: well we either need to say "ffmpeg project" and "ffmpeg command" all the time or use some other convention as I think we're losing some of the intended meanings in what we say [15:44] someone knows how to allow ufw to connect to 3306 on localhost? [15:45] mysql works perfectly [15:45] moises: You should not allow remote mysql connectiosn unless you really know what you are doing there. [15:45] but nc -v 127.0.0.1 3306 [15:45] jrib: I thinki you are right ReAlLy - it is just sad they chose to make it so confusing - that's what that web page I found said [15:45] bekks I only want to connect from localhost [15:45] BruceS: agreed. [15:45] Now I'm confused myself. Okay, let's start it that way: If I want to create a openssl CA, do I have to install+configure DNS/BIND first? [15:46] I want to use postfix with mysql [15:46] but it cannot connect to mysql [15:46] NEone: no [15:47] jrib. double click now pastes from the X11 selection buffer. Thanks for your help. [15:47] NEone: why do you want to create a CA - rather than just make certs and sign them [15:47] moises: "sudo ufw status" does it even filter localhost:3306? [15:48] pac1: i assume you mean "middle", but no problem :P [15:48] TJ-: Thanks. So how do I create a CA? And how can I avoid clients to show a cert warning because it's only self-signed? I need this own CA to be signed by any official cert-issuer, right? === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [15:48] 3306 allow 127.0.0.1 [15:48] and [15:48] * bl4ckdu5t thinks it's not nice the way some relevant questions are ignored on #ubuntu [15:48] pac1: by the way, it looks like that change was reverted too so it will probably get pulled down in a future update. Not sure why you are getting these updates though; seems like you shouldn't be [15:48] 3306 allow MY_IP [15:48] moises: "sudo lsof -i :3306" and mysql really listens there? [15:49] hey guys [15:49] jrib. I'm wondering if I forgot that its a double click and not a single click. [15:49] NEone: No, you won't find a root CA that will sign your own CA certs. You can however ensure that your CA certificate is installed on all systems that need to rely upon it [15:49] * bl4ckdu5t also thinks if anyone knows the right command to ask ubottu, then they should help ask ubottu rather than just being quiet [15:49] I'm going to undo the change and find out. [15:49] How to I turn off my computer from a terminal using a non-sudo user? [15:49] BruceS: I'll need to create about 1000 client certificates and sign them myself;) But I want to avoid the endusers seeing a cert-warning because it's all self-signed. So my CA/server needs to be signed by a paid cert first. [15:49] bl4ckdu5t: questions aren't ignored; they're just not answered when the answer isn't known by those who saw the question. Instead of making random non-support-related comments, just repeat your question after a little while (~10 minutes imo) and get some fresh eyes on it [15:50] Why do I get a red caution symbol in my taskpane above on my Ubuntu 12.04 even after all updates have been installed? [15:50] NEone: If you want to work with client certificates signed by a root CA I suggest you investigate using StartSSL's service, where you can issue as many certificates as you require once you've proved your identity. [15:51] llutz: nothing lsof -i :3306 [15:51] moises: Then you dont need ufw at all. [15:51] llutz: yes with mysql [15:51] moises: "sudo lsof -i :3306" = empty means that mysql DOES NOT listen [15:51] moises: You should configure your mysqld to allow connections from localhost only. [15:51] moises: check your mysql-config [15:52] llutz, bekks thank you, i'm going to work in this [15:52] TJ-: Thanks for the hint, will have a look at this StartSSL service or will just install my own CA's cert as "trusted" on the client devices. Now for the second case: How do I create my own CA? [15:52] How to I turn off my computer from a terminal using a non-sudo user? [15:52] How to I turn off my computer from a terminal using a non-sudo user? [15:52] JoBArTe_Skuld: are you in X?

I'll try a reboot later. [15:54] [llutz]: hmmm, true [15:54] its just my user. My girlfriends account works [15:54] although the double click to single click change is kind of odd.

I built software RAID1 configuration and want to test it (by unplugging one of the hard drives). Docs say that I should see initramfs promt in degraded mode and then do some steps to boot.

[16:26] right [16:26] oaulakh: Why are you refusing to read the links giveb? [16:26] *given [16:26] __marco: if that is all you missed, I think you should just be able to run debsign with the changes file [16:26] i read the link and make backup with tar [16:27] but doubt if crash on restoring sometime, beacuse i dont know much about ubuntu [16:27] oaulakh: If that suits your needs best, sure. [16:27] oaulakh: Then its not a good choice. [16:28] well i use that tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem/TAR [16:28] oaulakh: clonezilla.org . But actually the Acronis is much better, but it costs a lot of money. [16:28] is it good [16:28] oaulakh: No, since you dont knwo how to restore it. [16:29] oaulakh: Or do you know how to restore a crashed server from a tarball? [16:29] Or a commandline based backup with the "dd" command might even be enough...

[16:31] __marco: you may be best off just rerunning the build then, you could ask in #ubuntu-packaging though [16:31] clonezilla is probably the most easy one. Restore is only possible for the whole box, not for single files out of that image, though. [16:32] anyone know of a site with large collection of scripts? need to look for ideas [16:32] <__marco> trism: I'm going to try #ubuntu-packaging, thanks.

[17:08] fahadash: Click the close icon. [17:09] Dwade09--: Those are your options - it doesn't fit on a CD because it's bigger than 700MiB and CDs are only 700MiB [17:09] bekks: The whole ubuntu interface is frozen, I see the "|" text editor one , cursor all over the place [17:09] Dwade09--: I think you'll have to go up to 6 GB or 8 GB USB (I don't know 5 GB USB sticks) [17:09] Dwade09--: DO you not have a flash drive lying around?

[17:17] thank you DJones i am trying Rory s idea with liliusb [17:21] Rory, i tried that liliusb and it says operating system not found [17:23] Rory, it instaleld virtual box on the usb not the ubuntu iso [17:28] guys i have a 1TB external usb hard drive how can i put the 12.04 ubuntu linux on there to install it onto another computer? i am in windows. [17:31] A red irritating caution symbol keeps displaying on my task pane even when I have all my updates installed! How can I get rid of this?

[17:33] git-user, there is a chance, so remember to backup your system. :) [17:34] git-user, haven't really needed to shrink an ubuntu partition yet. Only windows partitions. [17:35] guys i have a 1TB usb external hard drive i am trying to make it where i can put ubuntu on there so i can install it on my other laptop but everything i try liliusb and unetbootin won't work, liliusb installs a virtuabox to be rain while using windows and unetbootin won't read my external hard drive. [17:35] Strit: me too. This is Dell laptop that came with Ubuntu pre-installed in a parition that spans almost 90% of the HDD. [17:36] git-user, and you want to ADD windows?? :P [17:37] Dwade09, 1 TB drive for that would be overkill. Try with a USB stick instead. [17:37] Rory, Managed to figure it out. How to install a different firmware version. For some reason it didn't have it by default. [17:37] Strit, if i had one i would i dont. i have what i have to work with on hand a 700 mb cd and a 1TB external hard drive [17:38] Strit: :( sadly yes. [17:39] The Ubuntu installation is carefully configured by OEM, so I don't want to break it. [17:39] git-user: depending on what you need maybe running windows in a virtual machine might be favourable? [17:39] There's a program called dell-recovery which claims to be able to generate an ISO image (~2.2 GiB) using which I can reinstall Ubuntu and it would be configured the same way as it was when the Laptop was shipped. [17:40] git-user: Carefully configured? :) It's a stock OEM image, without any modifications to your needs. :) [17:40] git-user: Just back it up before proceeding. [17:41] bekks: the drivers, suspend/resume, the fan and all are working nicely. [17:42] git-user: why not run windows inside a virtual machine? no need to repartition [17:42] Dwade09, Not sure that a USB Harddrive can be set to a bootable drive in BIOS. :( [17:43] git-user, I aggre with Benkinooby , [17:43] Strit, its how i installed windows its doable but idk how to do it with linux. [17:43] Strit: Dwade09 no need to. the hdd needs a boot sector. and the biso must be able to boot from it. usually you can set the boot order [17:43] Strit, http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-install-windows-7vista-from-usb-drive-detailed-100-working-guide/ its for windows. [17:44] *bios [17:44] Benkinooby, Strit: Okay I'll try that. [17:44] Dwade09: is there anything on that hard disc that is important to you? [17:44] Benkinooby, unetbootin wont read my external and liliusb doesn't work right for me. idk what else i can do. cd's are too small now. i have no pendrives. [17:45] Dwade09: The process is the same just use one of the many USB installation tools for Linux like unetbootin or LiLiUSB - in unetbootin there's a button you need to press called "show all drives" or siilar [17:45] Dwade09, Try this: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu [17:45] git-user: what do you need the windows for? for light tasks, a vm will be ok. but not for gaming [17:45] Rory, i did that but it wont show up in unetbootin. [17:45] Strit, im on windows. [17:45] Dwade09: It needs to be Fat32 formatted, not NTFS I believe [17:46] Rory, it is fat32, but it wont show under unetbootin and liliusb only installs a virtual drive. [17:46] Dwade09: what os are you using currently? [17:46] Benkinooby, win 7. [17:47] I have a little problem, I want to install psycopg2 for python3.3 if possible with virtualenv. Any directions on how I would accomplish this? [17:47] Dwade09, okay. I used this one: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows Not sure if it will work with your USB harddrive though. [17:47] Dwade09: ok, so you have to create that bootable linux thing from windows? [17:47] Benkinooby, yes [17:47] Dwade09: LiLi makes the Linux files hidden in Windows [17:48] git-user: what do you want to do with that windows? virtual machines are ok for testing and light tasks. if you want to game with it you probably won't be happy [17:48] Dwade09: Are you sure you're booting from USB? === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [17:48] Rory, yes i am sure im loading from usb and also Benkinooby yes. [17:49] Benkinooby: then, I guess I'll have to take the risk and attempt to shrink / [17:49] A red irritating caution symbol keeps displaying on my task pane even when I have all my updates installed! How can I get rid of this? [17:49] git-user: if you want to play heavy games, yes. [17:50] git-user: just to assure you: i never had trouble with shrinking - but you can never be sure, so do your backup - i do it too ;) [17:50] bl4ckdu5t, try running "sudo apt-get -f install" [17:50] Rory, and Strit i tried that just now it said my usb external will not be bootable. [17:52] Dwade09, you can probably download a smaller Ubuntu variant and put it on your 700 MB CD then. [17:52] Strit, Benkinooby Rory http://imagebin.org/271639 under the unetbootin for usb it just has usb and it wont let me pick anything under what drive. === Blo0d is now known as bl0od [17:53] Benkinooby: thanks. And how would I virtualize Windows in Ubuntu? Using VirtualBox or VMvare or Xen or KVM or Qemu or what? === bl0od is now known as blo0d [17:53] Strit, i been trying to find a smaller version of 12.04 but i cant === blo0d is now known as b1o0d [17:53] Strit: I just did and it's still there === b1o0d is now known as bl00d === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM [17:54] Dwade09, I mean another variant, like Lubuntu: http://www.lubuntu.net/ [17:55] git-user: depends. as a normal user, i think virtualbox is best for you. simple, easy to set up. vmware is simiar easy but commerciaf afaik. xen, kvm and a like are advanced. === bekks is now known as ibekks === bl00d is now known as bl0od === ibekks is now known as bekks [17:55] Dwade09: here, use minimal install https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD === bl0od is now known as b10od [17:56] Dwade09: those images only have what they really need to boot. all the other stuff will be downloaded during install === b10od is now known as bl00d [17:56] il l try that Benkinooby thank you i will let you know. thank you Strit [17:57] I have multiple screens [17:57] and my problem is nautilus gets icons out of screen [17:57] when I connect second one [17:57] Dwade09: don't be afraid, it look pretty raw during install ;) but you can tell it to install everything you need for a desktop computer and after install you will ahve a nice login and all that [17:58] Benkinooby, is that a command type of install or gui? === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [17:58] Dwade09: ? [17:58] bl4ckdu5t, you probably have some missing keys. try running a "sudo apt-get update" and it will tell you which are missing. [17:58] i don't understand your question [17:58] So i added a new nic to my server, so that i can connect to 2 diffrent Subnets, how ever when i hookt it all up my original card when black, it managed to receive DHCP information but i cant ping it. [17:58] Benkinooby, when i boot using that minemal will it be command prompted or gui as in graphical? [17:58] anybody know how to fix nautilus screen size bug, with icons out of screen? [17:58] Dwade09, Minimal Cd is a command'ish install called CLI. :) [17:58] Dwade09: ah ok got it. it looks like command line, but you can navigate [17:58] hello all, can anyone tell me how to make the changes within /etc/resolv.conf perminent? (running ubuntu server 13.04) [17:59] Benkinooby, do i burn it to a cd like data? or how? [17:59] Dwade09: it will give you menus and list where you can select stuff. and there are "button" you can click. [17:59] !minimal | Dwade09 This is the link I gave you earlier regarding the minimal install iso, it is text based, the link has details about it, [17:59] Dwade09 This is the link I gave you earlier regarding the minimal install iso, it is text based, the link has details about it,: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [17:59] Dwade09: what program are you using to burn? [18:00] Benkinooby, i cn use infrarecorder [18:00] Dwade09: hm, i don'T know that software. do you have something like "burn image" or so? [18:00] Benkinooby, no, do i burn it as image/iso or as data? [18:01] by 14.04 pls invent moving unity sidebar to buttom [18:01] Dwade09: image [18:02] Dwade09: just out of interest: on what device do you plan to install ubuntu? [18:02] Benkinooby, ? a blank cd. [18:03] Dwade09, he means what laptop...? :) [18:03] oh Strit and Benkinooby a laptop === vyom is now known as Vyom [18:03] Wow this is an active chat [18:04] was having trouble with komunicator for some reason [18:04] Dwade09: ok. can you connect your laptop to the router with a cable? it will make install faster and easier [18:04] what is everyone in private messagine [18:04] !details | simpleshit_ [18:04] simpleshit_: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [18:05] Benkinooby, yes via cord [18:05] Oh, I was wondering how one would install another distro of linux on top of an already dual booted system running a derivative of ubuntu [18:06] we don't know about derivates, really. [18:06] And I wanted to explore Irc and this is the default channel lol [18:06] Strit: Yea you're right! some index failed to download [18:06] Dwade09: ok, cord is good. usually wireless will not work during install - because of drivers an all that. if you have cord, everything is good :) [18:06] should be the same procedure as installing side by side simpleshit_ [18:07] I get 404 not found from some of the download sources being checked [18:07] bl4ckdu5t what sources? sure they're not !eol? [18:08] would ubuntu be the best choice for a raspberry pi installation [18:08] bl4ckdu5t, Try removing the PPA's containing those and sudo apt-get update. .)

[18:11] Dwade09: are you installing ubuntu on a different computer than the one you are using right now? [18:12] simpleshit_ start from the beginning, what have you tried before you came here and what do you want to achieve? [18:12] Benkinooby, trying too, the thing wont boot into the cd. it ignores the cd [18:12] So i added a new nic to my server, so that i can connect to 2 diffrent Subnets, how ever when i hookt it all up my original card when black, it managed to receive DHCP information but i cant ping it. [18:12] Dwade09: hm. did you enter the bios and looked at the boot order? [18:13] Benkinooby, its set to boot cd first [18:13] ok [18:13] Benkinooby, i burned it as iso image and it was the only blank cd i had. [18:13] MonkeyDust: Plz can you give me a tip on how to edit where the apt update fetch its sources [18:14] Dwade09: do you have an other computer to thes the CD? [18:14] what must I do now: “Sorry, installation of this driver failed. Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log.” [18:14] Dwade09: i meant "test the CD" [18:14] Benkinooby, yes and it reads on that one but thats not the one i need linux on [18:15] Dwade09: ok, so the Minimal installation CD works on a different computer? [18:15] yes Benkinooby [18:15] Is this solely for support, I have no specific issue at the moment, just general idea and plans that I'm not through the learning curve on, but its good to know this place exists. Any recomendations for irc channels where it'd be good lo lurk and learn about linux based networking and server setup etc? [18:16] Dwade09: if the CD is correct and works on other computers, then there is a problem with your computer hardware. what other options do you have? [18:17] Benkinooby, my usb 1TB external hard drive [18:17] simpleshit_: #ubuntu-server for server advice, ##linux is a general linux channel and there is ##networking for general network issues, if you wanted general chat, there is #ubuntu-offtopic [18:17] Dwade09: can the laptop, where you want to install ubuntu on, boot from usb? [18:17] Benkinooby, yes [18:17] thanks [18:18] Dwade09: hm, one last thing. somtimes you can set the boot order manually during boot up. for example at my leptop i have to press F12 , then i can manually select the boot order for that specific boot - do you have something like that too? just want to make sure [18:18] bl4ckdu5t https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SourcesList start here [18:19] Dwade09: also, what model is the laptop you want to install ubuntu on?

[18:47] thats where grub recides [18:48] not the boot sector but thats where grub resides [18:48] Jon--: whats up? [18:48] genoobie: boot, root, swap and home. or boot, root home and swap. that doesnt really matter in your case [18:48] boot sector is the mbr [18:48] genoobie: /boot holds the userland files for grub. grub itself resides in the MBR.

[18:48] hugok, sorry for wall of text, I like to give all the relevant info [18:48] oh, I am also going to play around a bit with clonezilla after I install lubuntu [18:48] Jon--, your question might be better answered in a virtualbox channel instead [18:48] Jon--, what version of windows [18:48] Strit, this is a physical machine with a physical live cd [18:48] will 400mb still be enough? [18:48] genoobie: / includes everything besides /boot, swap and /home with this solution [18:48] figgycity50, it's win7 [18:49] Jon--: you sure you have the right distro for that comp? ie. 64 bit vs 32? [18:49] hmm. [18:49] hugok, yeah, I have 64bit [18:49] do you have a uefi? [18:49] Jon--, ah, sorry. Mistook you for someone else. :) === tyle is now known as tylertwo [18:49] genoobie: yes it will take care of some kernels. [18:49] Jon--: have you tried the 32? [18:49] figgycity50, That's a good question, probably not though. Would that generate this behaviour? [18:49] okay [18:49] yes [18:49] secure boot [18:49] hugok, no [18:49] so just to recap, all ext4 (except swap) [18:49] genoobie: even 200mb would fit... but i like to give it some more space [18:49] 400mb for boot [18:49] stops anything but windows to boot [18:49] figgycity50, what do I look for in BIOS to see if I have this? [18:49] 10 gigs for "/" [18:50] genoobie, 299nb is fine [18:50] depends what bios you have [18:50] 200mb [18:50] Jon--: are you sure you are booting from the device? (usb, live cd?) [18:50] and the rest for /home [18:50] genoobie: thats the deal :) use ext4 for everything besides swap. swap will be swap space during the partition manager [18:50] hugok, yes, it shows ubuntu splash screen for a while before going black [18:50] most of the time it says either UEFI or Legacu [18:50] Legacy* [18:50] subz3r0: all logical partitions [18:50] correct? [18:50] genoobie: you can give / a bit more or less... under normal circumstances i choose 10 gigs for / [18:50] look for that setting in your bios [18:50] figgycity50, I don't tihnk that's the problem as I do see ubuntu flash screen for a while before black screen [18:50] genoobie, why do you need to separate home from root? [18:50] genoobie: yes all logical [18:51] maybe your cd is corrupt, try re-burning [18:51] Jon--: if you windows works consistently, then its not HW, but im thinking maybe your image is bad/corrupt [18:51] figgycity50, tested on my laptop it works [18:51] what? [18:51] hugok, ^ [18:51] this makes no sense. [18:51] the CD works on other machines [18:51] but not this desktop [18:51] to your comment about corruption [18:51] maybe its because your cd drive is not working [18:51] then why would I get a splash screen? [18:52] at all? [18:52] ugh [18:52] Jon--: I have no idea [18:52] it might be PARTIALLY corrupt [18:52] why is it calling /boot "sda5 [18:52] hmm [18:52] there's a gap, /dev/sda1, then /sda5 [18:52] wtf [18:52] genoobie: does not matter [18:52] seems like the disc does not work for yor hard drive [18:52] figgycity50, I verified the burn when I did it, plus I tried using my usb with grub on it to boot direct from iso as well, very unlikely that is corrupt [18:52] how many hard drives have you got [18:52] yeah, but I'd like to be compulsive [18:52] just one [18:53] will boot to liveUSB and format that partition [18:53] genoobie: it doesnt matter how the partiones arre named [18:53] genoobie: sda1-4 are primary partitions, sda5++ logical drives in extended partition, nothing to worry [18:53] try using a different CD [18:53] llutz: agreed :) [18:53] can you still boot to windows? [18:54] yes [18:54] figgycity50, ... you serious man? I've tried a USB from iso grub boot, I've tried a dd with usb, and I've tried a livecd, ALL of which boot on my laptop but not this desktop. It's very unlikely it's the burn media. [18:54] silly me, of course you can [18:54] yeah [18:54] genoobie: i would recommend to complete delete all partions which have been ntfs before [18:54] maybe it is your desktop's bios [18:54] Jon--: try a different program to make live cd/usb [18:54] +formated [18:54] it could be booting from the wrong media [18:54] +with [18:54] how is your cd formatted? [18:54] funny that I can't do that from the installer [18:54] hugok, I've used growisofs on arch and cp iso + grub updated on usb and dd on usb [18:54] try using WUBI [18:54] what do you suggest I try? [18:54] just google WUBI download [18:55] and run wubi [18:55] genoobie: thats not supposed to be... normaly you can delete evey parttiotion you want [18:55] it's a windows installer for ubuntu [18:55] may help [18:55] Jon--: you probably have a better idea of the problem than I do, sorry I can't help [18:55] unless you already have another linux distro [18:55] genoobie: ofc you can choose 200mb for /boot as mentioned before from some1 in here.. i would give it some more space.. just that you dont need to uninstall older kernels all the time. but its up to you [18:55] hugok, I'm totally stuck on this. [18:56] figgycity50, uhh, I run arch on my laptop, only windows on the machine though. [18:56] genoobie: anyway... gotta go zZZzZZ. good look with the installation and a lot of fun to your kids with linux :) [18:56] gn8 folks [18:56] use windows on the desktop to run wubi [18:56] yes, I'll just run it live and setup the partitions [18:56] "good luck" not "look" lool.... well im tired ;) [18:56] gn8 :D [18:56] A somewhat unrelated question, why am I warned about running IRC as root? Could mean people rm -rf my system lol [18:57] figgycity50, doesn't that fuck up my bootloader and can be a pain to revert? or no? it's been a while since I used wubi. I remember back in the day when I was a little linux newbie a grub update bricked my machine to needing livecd recover lol [18:57] apologies for lang. [18:57] i have no idea, personally i have never used wubi [18:57] and i seen how to geek do it [18:58] i remember [18:58] it DOES screw ur bootloader [18:58] whats wubi [18:58] but only when u uninstall [18:58] isnt that the windows ubuntu installer? [18:58] yes [18:58] Jon--, that language isn't necessary and wubi is being dropped in the newer releases afaik [18:58] BluesKaj, I can't get any live media to load on my desktop, trying to debug a potential hardware issue. Any ideas? [18:59] maybe ur cd drive is corrupt [18:59] splash screen to black screen, both LTS and latest [18:59] !wubi > all [18:59] now i am confused [18:59] try a non live media [18:59] like music [18:59] does that work? [18:59] figgycity50, are you trolling? :P [18:59] no i'm not trolling [18:59] Jon--, check your boot sequence in the bios [18:59] !wubi > subz3r0 [18:59] subz3r0, please see my private message [18:59] the CD drive works fine on the machine, and I already said I used two methods of USB boot, grub and dd [18:59] !wubi > subz3r0 [18:59] !wubi | subz3r0 [19:00] bleh [19:00] BluesKaj, I am directly selecting the boot media and again I get a ubuntu splash screen on my entirely windows desktop ;) [19:00] try using a USB stick to install ubuntu [19:01] go through all of your bios settings [19:01] make sure everything is set right [19:01] Jon--, is there another slot to plug you cd drive into? I think it is the cause === andrex is now known as andrex|off [19:02] Jon--what ? [19:02] hugok, ... seriously? I just said I've tried usb booting too, can we get over the CD issue? The issue is Ubuntu won't boot, it's not a miss-burn. [19:02] ok [19:02] try a 32 bit disc [19:02] figgycity50, yeah it might be UEFI, give me a secd. [19:02] wouldn't that not boot at all though, I do get a splash screen? [19:02] if it is find SECURE BOOT and disable it [19:02] Jon--, are you on a win8 machine? as in is your BIOS UEIFI or whatever? [19:02] could be a laggy UEFI [19:02] hugok, 7 [19:02] you guys know selinux [19:02] no [19:03] for clonezilla it would probably be easier to have all this on one partition [19:03] security enhanced linux kernel? [19:03] linuxuz3r, A little. You're better off in ##linux [19:03] the advantage to a separate home partition is just for upgrade purposes, right? [19:03] can you get a Debian liveCD? will that boot? [19:03] just checking if other live media works [19:04] uhh, I could yeah. [19:04] try getting one in your drive [19:04] see if that boots [19:05] i think Jon-- is afk putting a Debian disk in his drive [19:05] i guess [19:05] I'm here. [19:05] ok [19:05] I was checking for UEFI in bios, nothing. [19:06] no locked whatever? [19:06] how did you check your BIOS while on the IRC? [19:06] special BIOS IRC client [19:06] or are you IRCing on the laptop? [19:06] wow, debian uses 7cds, really? [19:06] lol [19:06] no [19:06] not when i checked [19:06] let me check [19:06] figgycity50, laptop runs arch [19:07] how do I irc on a windows with no internet? [19:07] are you really not trolling? [19:07] i am not trolling [19:07] Jon--: if you install ALL of Debian, yes, 7 CDs. [19:08] but you only need 1 cd for the core [19:08] Hodapp, I just wasn't on the livecd page, I am downloading an ISO now. [19:08] Jon--: package managers exist for a reason. [19:08] What is debian? 7 complete OS's [19:08] Jon--: fyi, debian's default "install" cd is NOT a livecd... [19:08] ik [19:08] which is better debian or ubuntu? [19:08] hugok, ubuntu is a fork of debian, debian is a linux distro [19:08] linuxuz3r, ubuntu is better [19:08] Jon--, I know [19:08] zykotick9, yeah I'm finding one now, I think I'm giving up on trying to boot ubuntu on here, no one seems to know what is wrong [19:09] linuxuz3r: if you have to ask.....Ubuntu [19:09] Jon--, it could be your CD drive is dead [19:09] hugok: they've been around a good while, and for some part of their history it made sense to distribute seven discs [19:09] linuxuz3r, post 12.04, probably debian [19:09] or at least half dead [19:09] linuxuz3r: but if you want simplicity and grace under pressure..........try Pear 7, simply elegant out of the box, Ubuntu based, with lots of support [19:09] Hodapp, that's hilarious [19:09] ok === andrex|off is now known as andrex [19:10] Jon--, tell me EXACTLY what you have done so far [19:10] hugok: I dunno about hilarious. They are one of the oldest distros still in existence, and plenty old enough to have been around near folks who lacked good Internet access. [19:10] i may be able to spot the problem [19:10] i wonder if ubuntu is being used in it industry [19:10] like redhat [19:10] linuxuz3r, some people do [19:11] i mean ubuntu server is way popular [19:11] 'people' and 'IT industry' are not quite the same targets [19:11] i want to install redhat but i dont want to maintain it everytime [19:11] linuxuz3r: If you intalled bona-fide Red Hat, you get the support that comes along with it. [19:11] Hodapp, yeah [19:11] jon--? [19:11] otherwise you're probably talking CentOS or Fedora. [19:11] most it has rht subscription [19:11] Jon--, are you yhrtr [19:11] figgycity50, I have attempted to boot a Ubuntu LTS and/or latest distro from USB and/or CD on my Windows 7 desktop which is experiencing network issues. I have checked UEFI and it is not on my BIOS. Behaviour I am getting over both CD burn and ISO USB booting from grub and USB dd copy ISO all show a splash screen, then a black screen. I have not tried other distros. [19:12] but what about ubuntu [19:12] linuxuz3r: Ubuntu is used plenty on EC2 and other cloud services. [19:12] EC2? [19:12] linuxuz3r: what those boxes are hosted on, I don't know, but the guest OSes will very often include Ubunt. [19:12] Ubuntu* [19:12] try running another distro see if that works [19:12] linuxuz3r: Amazon EC2, surely you've heard of it by now? === akira is now known as Guest66438 [19:13] Enterprise cloud2? [19:13] yes [19:13] elastic compute cloud. [19:13] debian DOES have a live cd by the way [19:13] http://www.debian.org/CD/live/ [19:13] ok [19:13] wow ubuntu is big [19:13] try it, see if it works [19:13] Debian has so many installation methods it's not even funny [19:13] if it works, then it is obviously your cd [19:14] the weirdest thing I've ever shoehorned Debian onto is probably a Power Mac G4 though... nothing special. [19:14] I'm 51s from having debian done, going to burn a DVD [19:14] Hodapp, i got ubuntu on macbook pro [19:14] For a Raid0 array, do both disks hacve to have a partition table? and/or have the raid flag set? [19:14] now refit is fuxored my efi firmware [19:15] Can someone help me out with an audio issue? I have an Ubuntu minimal install with XFCE. ALSA appears to recognize my sound cards (I have an internal and external), but PulseAudio only shows "Dummy Output". [19:15] chris_young, does PulseAudio support your card? try playing music/videos [19:15] say yotube [19:15] say youtube [19:16] Jon--, have you done with Debian yet? [19:16] For a Raid0 array, do both disks hacve to have a partition table? and/or have the raid flag set? The raid table was set through BIOS and a drive shows up in the file explorer, I just cant mount it [19:16] hi all! having annoyng problem! ubuntu 12.04.3 asus k53e. so screen turns off after 10-15 minutes of innactivity even having function activated: http://itmages.ru/image/view/1233518/a725ad56 [19:16] it's burning [19:16] tozen, it might be your monitor/bios [19:17] figgycity50, I am unable to get any sound output right now. My internal is a Creative Labs, and my external (which is what I really want to use) is an Akai EIE. I have gotten the EIE to work with a regular Unity Ubuntu install so yeah I think it is supported. [19:17] maybe the drivers are not in the minimal install [19:17] tozen you use gnome shell? [19:17] try finding them from Akai's website [19:17] figgycity50: ??? [19:18] linuxuz3r: unity [19:18] Akai does not have linux drivers [19:18] tozen, ok [19:18] chris_young, try a google for unofficial ones [19:18] sometimes the ubuntu software center might [19:18] I have not been able to find any. [19:19] boo [19:19] maybe try a Generic Driver? [19:19] hello [19:19] Jon--, how are you doing burning the Debian disc [19:19] Like I said though, it worked plug and play with Unity, but doesn't work with XFCE. [19:19] maybe Unity had the drivers [19:20] How can I tell if ALSA and/or PulseAudio recognize and are able to use the device? [19:20] and XFCE does not [19:20] try playing a sound [19:20] chris_young: re alsa, try "cat /proc/asound/cards" [19:20] That sounds reasonable. [19:20] Jon--, how are you doing burning the Debian disc === Guest66438 is now known as akira__ [19:20] linuxuz3r: so any ideas to sort it out, pal? [19:20] That command shows both the internal and external cards. [19:21] they are also in /dev [19:21] hmm [19:21] maybe XFCE does not work with your card? [19:21] Jon--, how are you doing burning the Debian disc [19:21] figgycity50, growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/sr0=isoimage.iso [19:21] figgycity50: XFCE works with all cards which work with ALSA/PA. [19:22] Jon--, what does that do? [19:22] figgycity50, lol. [19:22] It burns a DVD. [19:22] oh [19:22] Im pretty sure ALSA sees and is able to use the cards. How can I confirm that? [19:22] sorry, burning stuff is not my thing [19:23] i prefer VMs [19:23] is the burn done yet? [19:23] Jon--, [19:23] No problem I just find it humurous that you ask me what burning method I use, I tell you the standard CLI way to do it, and you ask me what that is. [19:23] is it done yet though? [19:23] just finishing now [19:23] ok [19:23] once it's done, reboot [19:23] with the disk in [19:23] obviously === dave is now known as Guest24454 [19:24] say wether it boots or not [19:24] figgy, the master linuxman [19:24] what, am I the master linuxman? [19:24] ok i do have a cloud server running ubuntu [19:25] Jon--, how is the boot to debian disc doing? [19:25] figgycity50, can you just wait for me to reply instead of spamming me every 30s? -_- [19:25] ok [19:25] How hot are HDD supposed to get? mine right now shows 75degrees c [19:25] omg that's hpt [19:26] should be about 30degrees c === Guest24454 is now known as tic^ [19:26] hugok: That's on the warm side, but fine for prolonged use [19:26] hugok: Consider cleaning your case out though [19:26] hmm. debian has [OK] throughout boot process, when it goes to display it flickers then black screen [19:26] oh, nvm. [19:26] debian works lol. [19:26] maybe it's your graphics card [19:26] ok [19:26] then your cd might be corrupt === kameloso^ is now known as kameloso^^ [19:26] it's a old IDE 40gb i use for ubuntu install that I picked up/stole from an abandoned comp [19:27] figgycity50, it's not, ubuntu just won't boot on this machine. [19:27] ok [19:27] How can I figure out which audio drivers may be installed with Unity and not XFCE? [19:27] ~!LTS [19:27] !LTS [19:27] 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) === kameloso^^ is now known as kameloso^ [19:27] then that's all i guess we can do [19:27] chris_young: Unity does not install audio drivers at all. [19:27] Jon--: make sure you're not using the mac version lol [19:27] i gues it is a compatibility issue [19:27] I'm getting the strangest error from apt-get dselect-upgrade: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6142658/ [19:27] anyone have any ideas about it [19:28] ? [19:28] syntax for ip link up? i'm used to ifconfig [19:28] moparisthebest, try sudo dpkg --configure -a [19:28] Ok so then how can I figure out if my audio problem is with ALSA or PulseAudio? I think it's probably PulseAudio? [19:28] I'm trying to migrate from one server to antoher, both running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS amd64, so the dpkg --set-selections method should wtork? [19:28] chris_young: Why do you think its pulseaudio? [19:29] shit, debian is also detecting no media [19:29] bekks, it's because ALSA works and pulseaudio does not [19:29] I guess it's a hardware issue [19:29] moparisthebest: depends on what mean by "work" [19:29] figgycity50: It ran, no messages, but same message from dselect-upgrade [19:29] Jon--: ip link set ethX up [19:29] llutz, yeah I got it, thanks :). [19:29] jrib: I want the same packages on the new server as the old [19:29] ok Jon-- i guess your pc is incompatible with ubuntu [19:29] jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6142658/ that's what I did, that file was generated with dpkg --get-selections on the first server [19:29] Jon--: might be helpful for a while: http://whodat.be/iproute2-cheatsheet-and-reference-guide/ [19:29] moparisthebest: then, yes, that should work. You'll lose apt's knowledge of manually and automatically installed pakcages however [19:29] try ur pc's manufacturer [19:29] Because the device I want to use shows up in /dev/snd & /proc/asound but PulseAudio only shows "Dummy Output" [19:29] website [19:30] !pulseaudio | chris_young [19:30] chris_young: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [19:30] figgycity50, I don't have a website. [19:30] i mean the manufacturer's website [19:30] it *should* work, but it's not working, is there another way to do it? [19:30] So do I. [19:30] the makers of yor pc [19:30] I made a pretty clever joke :( [19:30] I have read the install instructions and they do not say how to tell PulseAudio which device I want to use. [19:31] chris_young, maybe like Jon-- your hardware is incompatible [19:31] moparisthebest: i would suggest troubleshooting this [19:31] My computer recognizes the device; I can see it. What I dont know how to do is tell PulseAudio to use it. [19:31] figgycity50: Thats nonsense, honestly. PulseAudio uses ALSA as backend. [19:31] bekks, a lot of what he says is nonsense. I appreciate the effort but he's not very knowledgable. Sorry figgycity50 :( [19:31] figgycity50: So its a configuration issue, and not some incompatibility issue. [19:32] aww [19:32] But it works with another Ubuntu install I have... The only difference is this machine uses XFCE instead of Unity, [19:32] no offence man, just keep practicing/learning instead of trying to do support [19:32] you'll learn more [19:32] ok [19:32] I still have no idea why ubuntu black screens and debian boots [19:32] but in any case, looks like it's an issue with my onboard NIC no longer functionining. mother... [19:32] !nomodeset | Jon-- [19:32] Jon--: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [19:32] wait wait wait wait, do the pins on the hard drive need to be in a master/slave pattern for raid to work? [19:33] hugok: Are you still using IDE drives? [19:33] hugok: Which RAID controller do you have? [19:33] moparisthebest: so, do you have cron and upstart installed on the new server? [19:33] 40gb IDE ubuntu filesystem, 2x ~360 gb sata srives attempting raid0 [19:33] Greetings. I am stucked in the gdm login screen. I already tried change the owner of Xauthority and all other -rw----- available.I had already dpkg-reconfigured gdm and nothing.. Any suggest or should i reinstall my system? Raring Ringtail 13.04.. [19:34] I think its build in? [19:34] Kalel: create a fresh new user and see if the issue exists with the new user [19:34] hugok: Which one is it? [19:34] Kalel, try CTRL-ALT-T then try CTRL-ALT-F2 [19:34] jrib: cron, upstart, and adduser are already on the new server [19:34] they might boot [19:34] if not [19:34] they also have the same sources.list [19:34] bekks, which what? [19:34] Anyone, very basic behavior missing - I would like to make a copy of a folder. The folder's name is workspace1, I would like its copy to have the name workspace2. I have tried, but it is not possible graphically for me to do it in unity [19:34] so should have access to the exact same packages [19:34] I'm not entirely surprised that my external card isn't working plug and play, but did expect my internal card to be working. [19:34] hugok: Which raidcontroller do you use? [19:35] bekks, I don't know [19:35] moparisthebest: what happens when you do "sudo apt-get install cron" say? [19:35] hugok: you have to find it out. It is described in the manual of the mainboard. [19:35] jrib: I am now in another O.S. dual booted. I will reboot and try your suggest. [19:35] bekks, here: intel matrix storage manager option ROM v5.6.2.1002 [19:35] jrib: cron is already the newest version. [19:35] figgycity50: Your too.. [19:36] same with upstart and adduser [19:36] hugok: Thats not a raid controller, but some message only. [19:36] intrader, easy press CTRL-ALT-T then cd /(the place your folder is) press ENTER then cp workspace1 workspace2 [19:36] its in the BIOS? [19:36] moparisthebest: pretty weird. What version of ifupdown is on there? [19:36] so does that mean fakeRaid? [19:36] hugok, i think it might be [19:36] hugok: But since it is an "intel matrix storage manager" controller, thats a fake raid controller only. You cant use the RAID option in Ubuntu. [19:36] hugok: You have a fake raid controller. === johnny is now known as Guest1611 [19:37] how odd [19:37] moparisthebest: have you run "apt-get update" by the way? [19:37] Can I use ALSA for output without PulseAudio? [19:37] why would intel give him a fake RAID [19:37] bekks, so how do I make the two disks appear to be one> [19:37] figgycity50: Ask Intel. [19:37] figgycity50, I figured that I need to go to the terminal. But this was possible before in 10.1 [19:37] hugok: Use software RAID. [19:37] How? [19:37] just a program name would be great [19:37] !raid | hugok [19:37] hugok: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [19:38] intrader, can you right click and see Copy To [19:38] i have no unity right niw [19:38] now* [19:38] bekks, thanks [19:38] i am using an ubuntu server in the cloud and a windows host for this IRC [19:38] jrib: both are Version: 0.7~beta2ubuntu8 of ifupdown, i've ran apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade on both servers before I started any of this, and after copying the sources.list from the first server [19:39] moparisthebest: output of « apt-cache policy ifupdown upstart mountall cron adduser » in a pastebin please [19:39] !help [19:39] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

[21:57] setup* [21:57] lool wilee-nilee no need any help... [21:58] Extreminador, Cool, you seem to but whatever. [21:58] i was thinking that the boot option was not there but it is [21:58] masterjakeway: you said it was external though... how would that stop windows from booting [21:58] bad answers do not help [21:58] it doesn't stop Windows. it stops ubuntu === lester is now known as yc[BAL] [21:59] masterjakeway: give more details on exactly what you're doing [22:01] ok, have it set up and booting fine. then add a partition(fat32 or ntsc) to either front or back. then, ubuntu won't boot. I only get the blinking curser [22:01] hello! [22:01] guys i've a problem, i've upgraded my pc from xubuntu 12.04 to 12.10 and after that my pc doesn't boot! [22:01] it only boot after i select the hd in the bios of my motherboard [22:01] the pc is a intel g2020 on a asus p8h77-m [22:01] plz help me to resolve i need this pc for my office to work [22:01] cyberpork: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:01] then, I can delete the Windows partition and ubuntu will boot again [22:01] anyone can help me? [22:02] masterjakeway: that makes no sense [22:02] anyone can help me to find the rpoblem? [22:03] cyberpork: move the hd up in the bios options? [22:03] hello [22:03] i need help abouth vim [22:03] when i copy a text from vim , it s a problem [22:04] Ben64: I know right? I tried like three times [22:04] masterjakeway: you're doing something wrong, without more information its impossible to diagnose [22:05] masterjakeway, we have a script we use ofyen for boot problems. [22:05] often* [22:05] Ben64: what info would be helpful? [22:05] all of it [22:06] I've formatted to start over again. sitting with the hdd plugged in booted from a livecd [22:06] masterjakeway, i must do this operation everytime? i don't think it's the best way to solve, it can be a uefi incompatibility? [22:07] cyberpork: just throwing it out there [22:08] masterjakeway, ? [22:08] I really don't know. just start with the simple...You know? [22:09] masterjakeway, You trying to install ubuntu on a external HD? [22:10] wilee-nilee: yes. and I want an additional partition accessible for Windows [22:10] masterjakeway, usb2? [22:10] Hi. Trying to install openvpn on a Ubuntu 12.04 amd64. How much outdated is the openvpn in the repo? (and why?) [22:11] usb 2.0/3.0 [22:11] masterjakeway, 3.0 might run okay, will still be slow, what keeps this from being a internal install? [22:11] the size of my laptop hdd [22:11] Ola [22:12] masterjakeway, Sure, seems it would be easier to store on the external and have the OS on the internal, thats the way I go and have 3 OS's at this time. [22:13] guess I didn't think that way [22:13] masterjakeway, my internal is a 256 gig ssd so I want it for the OS is all. [22:14] well, I don't want to have to carry the drive everywhere, also, I'd like to leave the Windows install alone [22:15] NEone in saucy it will be 2.3.x, good question why. [22:16] how would i strip binary   from a file? [22:16] iconv doesnt work here [22:17] any life in here? [22:19] ciao ragazziiiii [22:19] heeeeellloooooooo guysssssssss [22:20] @TimeRider Does '/usermod +x' hide my ip?? [22:24] Hello, I'm expecting blank screen on tty (and also no splash screen on boot) after installing fglrx 13.101 on kernel 3.10.6 (dkms updated) [22:24] I can't see my console (but it works, i can login and reboot the system), the only way is to set vga=0 in grup [22:25] if I switch with ctrl+alt+f1 is blank screen, if I switch back to X (alt+f7) everything works [22:25] grup = grub (obv) [22:26] gpu is ati HD5xxx and works like a charm in X [22:27] mn3monic, running saucy ? [22:27] OerHeks: Nope, 13.04 with some updates (kernel, dkms, fglrx from saucy) [22:28] thats just as bad. ;) [22:28] well can be just as 'quirky' i guess. [22:28] uh oh, can't help you there, too much dependencies i guess [22:29] Maybe you know if there's any way to setup grub with standard vesa drivers, outside X, without using fglrx, or is it impossible ? [22:30] mn3monic, how did you do that? my best guess would be https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=raring [22:30] that would give you more hope running ati 13.x [22:30] mhm, maybe I wasn't clear [22:30] Xorg is ok [22:30] The problem is outside xorg [22:32] !find k9copy [22:32] File k9copy found in gnome-icon-theme-gartoon-redux [22:32] Hmm. has k9copy sort of died off? I recall using it ages ago. to image a dvd to file [22:34] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=686504 [22:34] Debian bug 686504 in ftp.debian.org "RM: k9copy -- RoM; No longer maintained upstream" [Normal,Open] [22:34] googling the problem seems like i'm not alone, anyway [22:35] bummer. that was my fave app. even tho i only used it like once a year. [22:36] When I use "df", it doesn't list a HTF+ drive I have mounted. How do I get that to appear? [22:38] dharmaturtle, try df -h [22:39] OerHeks: Still doesn't appear, sadly [22:40] does mount show it [22:40] HTF+ ? that a typo or you ment hfs+ ? [22:41] Oops yeah, HFS+. [22:42] um, I don't see it in "mount" either. [22:42] how did you mount it? just plugged the drive in? accessed it via nautilus? [22:43] dharmaturtle: ls /dev/sd* [22:43] sudo blkid also may give some info about the disk [22:43] I used: sudo mount -t hfsplus -o rw,remount -force /dev/sdb3 /media/DISK1 [22:45] ah, I see it with blkid. [22:47] Hey this is probably a dumb question, but device drivers are not written to the device itself are they? Only the os itself. [22:47] Like if I use a third party driver for a bluetooth dongle on Windows that will have no effect on it in linux will it? [22:47] jatakk: it shouldent [22:48] if its on the device, I think its called firmware. [22:48] Yeah cool, thought so. [22:48] Cheers guys. [22:48] jatakk: i hjave seen windows initialize a device (a sound card) with goofy settings where linux couldent reset it. but a cold boot straight to linux fixed that [22:48] I am trying to install Ubuntu Server 13.04 to my PowerEdge R610 with hardware raid 1, and it never gets to the bootloader. [22:48] but that was more of a bug in the drivers i imagine [22:49] Dr_Willis: Well it's just a pretty standard bluetooth dongle I use to connect a PS3 controller to the computer. I can't imagine it'd have any settings written to it. [22:50] i doubt if it does [22:50] Bluetooth in linux is just wonky ;) [22:50] I used "mv" on a folder with 70 gigs of text (80k files) and moved it to another drive. How do I know when the transfer is finished? [22:53] i would have copied it first dharmaturtle then removed the source after verifying it was successfull [22:53] crap, you're right. [22:53] or use rsync [22:53] no way to find out I guess? My main drive is still at 100%, oddly enough :/ [22:54] capacity. [22:54] i cant recall the last time i used 'mv' ;) [22:54] how would you verify? diff? [22:56] echo hello there | sed s/\(ll\)/xx\1/ - I expected hexxllo there but get hexxlo - why am I not getting the second l in the match? [22:56] i tend to just double check the sizes ;) but i tend to just copyu a few big video files at a time. rarely 10000000+ little files [22:57] I never knew there was so many programming languages.. :O [22:57] I use a USB sound card instead of the built in audio on my motherboard. Everytime my computer boots up the USB soundcard gets set to 100% (max) volume. How can I prevent this? [22:57] How can I install the broadcom sta driver without a wired or wireless connection? Is there a way to install from the install disk? [22:58] !aptoncd [22:58] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [22:58] BruceS: isn't it because you're replacing "ll" with "xxl" ? that's what it looks like to me [22:58] @newtoarch.. Yes you can [22:58] newtoarch: personally.. i got a $7 wifi usb dongle that works out of the box. I use it on problem machines like that. so i can get the needed drivers/files easially then i switchback to the built in wifi once its working [22:59] finchd: apparently so, but WHY does the \1 generate l and not ll since it should be the first matched pattern and there is ll between the () [22:59] Dr_Willis, I'm sure it's on the live cd [22:59] Dr_Willis, Gh0st: Thanks I will try one of those approaches [22:59] I thought the STA driver was removed (welit may be just blacklisted) [23:00] !broadcom [23:00] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [23:00] newtoarch, When, i first used ubuntu, I had a dell with bcm wifi card. it was on the 9.10 live cd. [23:06] lots of possible info here also --> http://askubuntu.com/search?tab=votes&q=sta%20driver [23:07] I use a USB sound card instead of the built in audio on my motherboard. Everytime my computer boots up the USB soundcard gets set to 100% (max) volume. How can I prevent this? [23:08] sordidbass: down and dirty way - put a command in /etc/rc.local to set the volume how you want. [23:08] there may be better ways ;) [23:09] http://askubuntu.com/questions/57238/wrong-audio-volume-at-boot Might have some info [23:09] How can I install a windows partition after having ubuntu installed first..?? === bubulle_ is now known as leagris [23:10] Gh0st: install a partion? makes no sence.. clarify what you mean [23:10] Install windows? MAKE a partition? [23:10] Dr_Willis, sorry, I mean install a windows partition on my harddrive , that already as ubuntu installed [23:11] Gh0st, you can use a different hd, but don't connect the ubuntu one until after the windows install. then fix grub. [23:11] still you dont 'install' a partion. You can use gparted to MAKE a partion of whatever type you wnat [23:11] Gh0st, For best repair on a windows install you want it being the first partition. [23:11] make a new partion, set its type to ntfs, there you go. [23:11] I have the hd partitioned already to ntfs [23:11] Gh0st: so you want to Install windows TO that partition? [23:12] it's the grub i'm worried about after the install of windows, I'll get grub error [23:12] get a boot-repair live cd - and it can repair gru [23:12] windows has a manual install option for pre-made partitions [23:12] or install grub to a spare usb flash drivbe. and be sure you can boot from it to get to the system [23:13] !fixgrub [23:13] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [23:14] Ok, I'll look into it. oracle Box is too slow. [23:14] thanks [23:14] Oracal box? You mean Virtualbox? [23:15] yeh..lol [23:16] it's late ;( [23:16] see even my wink was wrong [23:17] I recently lost audio. No audio devices are showing in sound preferences however lspci -v | grep -A7 -i "audio" does show the sound card as usual. No snd modules appear to be loading either. [23:18] hey folks. Just installed ec2-ami-tools on my local machine without issue (13.04), tried to install them on a vanilla ubuntu 13.04 EC2 instance but i cannot see the package. Only ec2 package available is ec2-init [23:19] Also tried adding the PPA for the AWS tools manually but i think its moved. Any thoughts? [23:20] theres the ppa search tools in the repos/qweb site. No idea about anything else you mentoined. ;) [23:22] ec2 = is a VPS system isent it? those can be very differnet from a normal ubuntu. [23:24] hazamonzo__: ec2-ami-tools is in the multiverse repo... is that enabled on the AWS instance? [23:26] Dragin2: TJ-: Thanks guys. I'll check it out [23:28] 13.04, how do we stop unity from automatically rescanning/opening LVM LVs when they are manually closed ("sudo vgchange -an $VG") - dconf org.desktop.media-handling.automount doesn't stop it ? [23:29] hola [23:30] TJ-: It was multiverse. Thanks mate [23:41] <_Hagar> Hi, I want to move a home folder from one install to one on another HDD. Can anyone help me, or point me to a guide? Couldn't seem to find my exact situation on Ubuntu help. [23:48] <_Hagar> 12.04 LTS [23:48] _Hagar, There is a wiki on separating the home to a separate partition, generally this is what people do, is this what you want? === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [23:53] Hey everyone! I just recently got a Toshiba Satellite L55(T-A5232) pre-installed with Windows 8 (UEFI). I also have Ubuntu 13.04 (64-bit) on a Live USB (which I'm on now), but the installer does not detect my Windows 8 partition. I'm not sure what to do. [23:53] SonikkuAmerica: have you seen the UEFI page? [23:54] daftykins: I have indeed. [23:54] SonikkuAmerica, I know you know of the uefi bot info here is more. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295 [23:54] wilee-nilee: Well now, that I have NOT seen. :) [23:55] Sonderblade, That mod is about the best help around as well, vists all uefi threads. [23:56] wilee-nilee: OK. (I'm not Sonderblade.) [23:56] _Hagar: 2 differnt ubuntu installs? [23:56] SonikkuAmerica, doh, well you get the info, I doubt you need a thread though. [23:56] Sonderblade, sorry about that. [23:58] wilee-nilee: Good luck apologizing. I'll be here all week. :D [23:58] lol [23:58] _Hagar: id make a partion to be /home/ and copy all the users homes over to it. when you do the new install mount that to /home/ and dont format it. and readd any users in the same order you added them on the original install === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [23:59] if you add them in the wrong order. the permissions and ownership can get messed up
