| solaruin | heh, ok, so i may have broke this pretty nicely, but its no worse than it was before | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| solaruin | so i got an error 17 from grub when loading | 00:00 |
| solaruin | so i just reinstalled grub, thinking everything would be fine | 00:00 |
| solaruin | so when i reloaded it, its just the grub prompt, and it wants me to tell it where the kernel is | 00:00 |
| wilee-nilee | solaruin, Context? | 00:00 |
| solaruin | how the hell do i find the kernel :p | 00:00 |
| Dr_Willis | reinstalled grub how? | 00:00 |
| solaruin | used a live disk | 00:01 |
| Dr_Willis | you should have used the boot-repair tool - i imagine | 00:01 |
| daftykins | why are the most useful technical posts (wilee-nilee's UEFI forum link) written by non-English speakers so they're hard to understand =| | 00:01 |
| solaruin | probably :p | 00:01 |
| wilee-nilee | solaruin, That tool generates a script that is quite helpful. | 00:01 |
| solaruin | which, the boot-repair tool? | 00:02 |
| arayaq | daftykins: link? | 00:02 |
| Dr_Willis | !fixgrub | 00:02 |
| solaruin | i only need to get into it once so i can get the files i need. any way i can find the kernal from the grub menu? | 00:02 |
| OerHeks | daftykins, you might want to learn french http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/uefi | 00:02 |
| solaruin | i can do that from the grub menu? | 00:03 |
| daftykins | arayaq: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295 | 00:03 |
| daftykins | OerHeks: no thanks | 00:03 |
| solaruin | nope. so from the live disk then i assume | 00:03 |
| wilee-nilee | solaruin, you can manual boot, use supergrub, or use the bootrepair app, your choice really. | 00:04 |
| solaruin | i'd like to manual boot. all i need to do is give it the kernel location, and t ell it to boot. i just dont know where the kernel is | 00:04 |

| === arayaq is now known as araya|away | ||
| Dr_Willis | masaka: login at console. check the owner of the .Xauthority file (move/rename it if you want) most likely Some setting file is causing the issue. You can move them to some Backup Directory | 00:12 |
| === araya|away is now known as arayaq|away | ||
| Dr_Willis | but the .Xauthority file is a common issue | 00:12 |
| OerHeks | Dr_Willis +1 thinking the same issue, it is owned now by root:root if i recall | 00:13 |
| masaka | Permissions on .Xauthority are 600, owner is myself | 00:13 |
| Dr_Willis | you can move/rename it just in case. it will get remade | 00:14 |
| Dr_Willis | and move you rother config files to some backup dir if you want to be sure. :) | 00:14 |
| masaka | Dr_Willis: yes, moving the file got me in. Thanks! | 00:15 |
| Dr_Willis | i Belive that file gets the wrong info due to use of sudo instead of sudo | 00:19 |

| somsip | !mint | twobitsprite | 00:20 |
| ubottu | twobitsprite: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 00:20 |
| masaka | Dr_Willis: the only "sudo" command that I ran yesterday was "sudo shutdown -h now", is this something risky? | 00:21 |
| Flannel | twobitsprite: You should ask in the mint channel. It depends on whether mint has maintained compatibility with that particular package (library versions, etc) | 00:21 |
| SonikkuAmerica | OK, I did as y'all suggested previously, do I need to set a device to put GRUB in? | 00:21 |
| pfraze | working on a cli tool, am wondering: what are the benefits of using argv versus environment flags (eg PORT=8000 myprogram)? | 00:22 |
| twobitsprite | Well, my question isn't necessarily about compatibility with mint, I can figur that out... I'm just asking about the logistics of downloading packages from ubuntu software center that I purchased | 00:23 |
| pfraze | in c, argv is much more accessible, but this is a nodejs script, so it's actually easier to access the environment variables | 00:23 |
| SonikkuAmerica | To clarify, on my potential Ubuntu 13.04 (64-bit) install on a UEFI machine dual-booting with Windows 8, do I need to set a separate partition for GRUB, or not? | 00:23 |
| FloodBot1 | !netsplit | 00:24 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 00:24 |

| twobitsprite | SonikkuAmerica: grub doesn't need it's own partition... do you mean a /boot partition? | 00:26 |
| SonikkuAmerica | twobitsprite: Possibly. I should rephrase: Do I need to mess with the "Device for bootloader installation" combo box, or is the default correct for UEFI? | 00:27 |
| twobitsprite | SonikkuAmerica: I'm not sure if UEFI cares... I have servers are work with UEFI and they just have grub installed in the MBR and have a single partition | 00:28 |
| SonikkuAmerica | twobitsprite: Well if it's called the MBR, then it's not UEFI. | 00:28 |
| twobitsprite | but then again, they're booting over iSCSI... | 00:28 |
| Freeder | Hello. is there a way to see what shares an nfs server is offering, locally? I just set up an nfs server (or so I think) but can't connect to it from my client machine. How would I start to troubleshoot this? | 00:29 |
| twobitsprite | UEFI supports standard/classic PC disk partition labels. | 00:29 |

However, when I surf to that location, it attempts to make me download a php file, instead of view it in the browser ( I can view it fine surfing directly to server B). Any thoughts on why that doesn't work? | 00:55 |
| Freeder | I don't know much about web serving | 00:55 |
| Dr_Willis | could be theres some sort of security/permissions wrong. or the server is not following mounts or links. You might want to ask in #apache if thats what you are using | 00:56 |
| Freeder | perms all match up, and the file being served is the one that I should be viewing, not downloading. | 00:56 |

| hugok | Hey whats up guys? | 01:43 |
| Pernicious-Taint | hi! | 01:44 |
| hugok | Im manually partitioning a 40GB into "/" "/home" and 'swap", how many gigs each? | 01:44 |
| Dr_Willis | just 40gb? Id just use a / and swap | 01:45 |
| hugok | also, should the "/" be a phyisical partition or logical? | 01:45 |
| Dr_Willis | Unless you know how much space you will be needing | 01:45 |
| Dr_Willis | PRIMARY or logical - dosent matter | 01:45 |
| Dr_Willis | ;) | 01:45 |
| Dr_Willis | i use all primaries if i can in most cases | 01:45 |
| hugok | how does 10gb "/", 27.9 gb "/home", and 2.1gb "swap" sound? | 01:46 |
| Dr_Willis | 10gb for / would be WAY to tiny for my rather basic needs | 01:46 |
| hugok | hmmm | 01:46 |
| Dr_Willis | it would be workable.. if you kept track of what you where doing | 01:46 |
| hugok | what exactly does / do? | 01:46 |
| Dr_Willis | / holds everything | 01:46 |
| hugok | compared to /home? | 01:47 |
| Dr_Willis | including /tmp /var/ /var/apt/cache (shich is like 2 gb for me right now) | 01:47 |
| Dr_Willis | / is the 'root' of the whole filesystem | 01:47 |
| Dr_Willis | whats not in /home/ will be in / | 01:47 |
| hugok | so like 1/2 & 1/2 /home vs / | 01:47 |
| hugok | ? | 01:47 |
| Dr_Willis | for 30gb.. id do it all to / and swap. but you lose the benifits of a seperate /home/ but face it with JUST 30gb// you can backup your whole system to a $15 flash drive. | 01:48 |
| hugok | its 40gb | 01:48 |
| hugok | but still, i see | 01:48 |
| Dr_Willis | I got a 3TB hd just for my /home/ ;) | 01:49 |
| hugok | lol, the 40 was the biggest HDD i could get for free | 01:49 |

| === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler | ||

| Dr_Willis | if /home/ fills up.. the users are annoyed.. but the system should stillwork. ;) | 01:50 |
| Dr_Willis | i always use at least 20-30 for / if i can. | 01:51 |
| Dr_Willis | its also fairly easy to setup a external USB for the users to use as part of their /home/ if you want | 01:51 |
| hugok | yeah, I was thinking that | 01:51 |
| hugok | is there a way to resize a partition without screwing everything? | 01:52 |
| hugok | like in 6 months or so when I realize you are right | 01:52 |
| Dr_Willis | gparted can resize | 01:53 |
| hugok | oh yeah | 01:53 |
| Dr_Willis | but with such small partions. it may be faster to just backup | 01:53 |

| moes | Dr_Willis, I have already gone that route with no sucess | 02:23 |
| Dr_Willis | moes: Yep. its just one of those buggy areas. its never worked well for several releases i recall. | 02:25 |
| benklop | bluedogslim: there are a number of utilities to help you download and manage cover art and metadata for your music collection, picard being one option. it might be a bit too much though - it's more for serious metadata management... | 02:25 |

| renzom | kostkon, benklop thanks for your answers, i'll try them out! :) | 02:30 |
| renzom | oops benklop wasn't answering me, but it helped too :) thanks anyway | 02:31 |
| benklop | renzom: for what you are mentioning, picard is nice since it can potentially automate a large part of the process | 02:32 |
| benklop | but it takes a while to learn to use | 02:32 |
| benklop | and it gets all its data using audio fingerprints and musicbrainz DB info | 02:32 |
| benklop | no prob! :) | 02:32 |
| renzom | benklop: if it is not too much asking, what's your player of choice? I'm now with guayadeque (i spell it different every time), but i'm looking to test some others | 02:36 |

| Guest9161 | Hi, I have 3 other machines running windows and I would like to make periodic backup of some folders there. Do you know how can I simply do that? ( I am aware of backup tools like bacula, but I am looking for something simpler.) | 02:39 |
| genoobie | hey all | 02:39 |
| renzom | benklop: sounds good :) | 02:39 |
| genoobie | trying to get my wireless working without internet | 02:40 |
| genoobie | I've got the b43-fwcutter installed | 02:40 |
| genoobie | and I've unpacked the tarball | 02:40 |
| genoobie | I'm not quite sure how to proceed with the CL | 02:40 |
| genoobie | the CL I am experimenting with is | 02:40 |
| genoobie | sudo b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware broadcom-wl-5.10.56.27.3/driver/wl_apsta/wl_prebuilt.o | 02:41 |
| hugok | hey genoobie ! | 02:41 |
| genoobie | hey hugok | 02:41 |
| hugok | you're back | 02:41 |
| genoobie | yep | 02:41 |
| hugok | any troubles? | 02:41 |
| genoobie | working on my wireless card install | 02:41 |
| genoobie | I'm so close I can taste it :) | 02:41 |
| genoobie | yes | 02:41 |
| genoobie | of course. I tried following the guide here | 02:41 |

| mojtaba | Hi, I have 3 other machines running windows and I would like to make periodic backup of some folders there. Do you know how can I simply do that? ( I am aware of backup tools like bacula, but I am looking for something simpler.) | 02:42 |
| genoobie | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 02:42 |
| Dr_Willis | genoobie: so you unpacked stuff and it made a broadcom-wl-5.1* type directory/path? | 02:42 |
| genoobie | Dr_Willis: yes | 02:42 |
| Dr_Willis | genoobie: so you used that command and change it to reflect the proper path to the extracted files? The version #'s can often change | 02:42 |
| genoobie | I have a ~/Desktop/b43-fwcutter/broadcom-wl-5.100.138 | 02:42 |
| genoobie | Dr_Willis: that's where I am having a bit of trouble | 02:43 |
| camilong | help me | 02:43 |
| Dr_Willis | use the tab key to complete the paths. | 02:43 |
| genoobie | the broadcom folder has two dirs | 02:43 |
| genoobie | config and linux | 02:43 |
| genoobie | and the linux dir has 3 .o files | 02:43 |
| genoobie | I'm not sure which one to point to | 02:43 |
| camilong | configuration wi fi usb | 02:43 |
| Dr_Willis | one is named wl_prebuilt.o ? | 02:43 |
| genoobie | I'm also not sure if anything should be in the /lib/firmware directory | 02:43 |
| camilong | not recognition | 02:43 |
| genoobie | Dr_Willis: no | 02:43 |
| varun_ | genoobie, have you confirmed what chip your card uses? Are you sure it uses b43? | 02:44 |
| genoobie | varun_: yes | 02:44 |
| Dr_Willis | could be you got an differnt archive then what you needed. | 02:44 |
| genoobie | no, the guide is for 12.04 | 02:44 |
| genoobie | I have 13.04 | 02:44 |
| genoobie | when I followed guide | 02:44 |
| genoobie | it wanted this firmware | 02:44 |
| varun_ | genoobie, so which card is it? | 02:44 |
| mojtaba | Hi, I have 3 other machines running windows in a LAN and I would like to make periodic backup of some folders there. Do you know how can I simply do that? ( I am aware of backup tools like bacula, but I am looking for something simpler.) | 02:45 |
| genoobie | bcm4318 | 02:45 |
| camilong | 13.04 | 02:45 |
| varun_ | genoobie, all the b43 firmware files go into /lib/firmware, but your description looks a bit confusing | 02:45 |
| genoobie | well | 02:46 |
| varun_ | genoobie, actually /lib/firmware/b43 | 02:46 |
| genoobie | I'm confused then | 02:46 |
| Dr_Willis | !find broadcom-sta-dkms | 02:46 |
| ubottu | Found: broadcom-sta-dkms | 02:46 |
| genoobie | because I followed the guide more or less | 02:46 |
| lagbox | so i see the upgrade to 13.10 ... anyone against me upgrading to the beta at the moment ? | 02:46 |
| Dr_Willis | !info broadcom-sta-dkms | 02:46 |
| ubottu | broadcom-sta-dkms (source: broadcom-sta): dkms source for the Broadcom STA Wireless driver. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 5.100.82.112-9 (raring), package size 2155 kB, installed size 6040 kB | 02:46 |
| varun_ | genoobie, where have you got this folder from - ~/Desktop/b43-fwcutter/broadcom-wl-5.100.138 | 02:47 |
| genoobie | http://www.lwfinger.com/b43-firmware/broadcom-wl-5.100.138.tar.bz2 | 02:47 |
| varun_ | genoobie, Dr_Willis, that card won't work with the sta driver, only with b43 | 02:47 |
| genoobie | Dr_Willis: it's not the "STA" | 02:47 |
| genoobie | varun | 02:47 |
| genoobie | so basically I followed the directions for 12.04 | 02:48 |
| === Wheaties is now known as wheaties466 | ||
| Dr_Willis | i dident see him list a specific card. ) | 02:48 |
| genoobie | but subbed in 13.04 links | 02:48 |
| genoobie | first step was this | 02:48 |
| genoobie | sudo dpkg -i b43-fwcutter* | 02:48 |
| genoobie | so I installed b43-fwcutter | 02:48 |
| varun_ | genoobie, it says "wl-5.100.138.." which I perfectly remember to be a sta driver version, that's why I say it was confusing.. | 02:49 |
| genoobie | varun_: hey, you know more then I do | 02:49 |
| genoobie | so I got the wrong tarball | 02:49 |
| varun_ | genoobie, do you have internet connection on that machine ? | 02:49 |
| genoobie | no | 02:49 |
| genoobie | but I can move a tarball to it | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-5.10.56.27.3_mipsel.tar.bz2 is this the arvhive you need? | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | b43 (12.04 Precise Pangolin) | 02:50 |
| genoobie | yeah but I have 13.04 | 02:50 |
| genoobie | didn't know if that firmware was going to work | 02:50 |
| varun_ | genoobie, have you also attempted the sta driver? We'll have to remove it first if you had. | 02:50 |
| genoobie | no not yet | 02:50 |
| mojtaba | Hi, I have 3 other machines running windows in a LAN and I would like to make periodic backup of some folders there. Do you know how can I simply do that? ( I am aware of backup tools like bacula, but I am looking for something simpler.) | 02:51 |
| k0ff33 | I'm trying to set up racoon. | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | mojtaba: rsync and a cron job | 02:51 |
| k0ff33 | but I get check and compare ids wrong | 02:51 |
| genoobie | so | 02:51 |
| k0ff33 | DEBUG: check and compare ids : value mismatch (IPv4_subnet) | 02:51 |
| genoobie | Dr_Willis: will that tarball work with 13.04? | 02:51 |
| genoobie | or varun? | 02:51 |
| genoobie | varun_: I mean | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | genoobie: no idea. I dont see why the Firmware would matter | 02:51 |
| TradeFortress | /etc/security/limits.conf is not taking any effect | 02:51 |
| varun_ | genoobie, all you need is the firmware file, which is included in the nonfree firmware package. Download this package from here : http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/all/linux-firmware-nonfree/download | 02:51 |
| genoobie | varun_: I loaded that too | 02:52 |
| mojtaba | Dr_Willis: Could you please let me know how can I have access to the windows partition? I will check man rsync later. | 02:52 |
| varun_ | sorry, my time-lag here is 25+ seconds :( | 02:52 |
| genoobie | when I dpkg'ed that I wonder if it put the firmware in the directory? | 02:52 |
| Dr_Willis | mojtaba: setup a windows share. and mount it from the linux machines | 02:52 |
| varun_ | genoobie, linux-firmware-nonfree ? | 02:52 |
| Dr_Willis | mojtaba: or setup a ftp server, if you want to go old skool | 02:52 |
| genoobie | yes | 02:52 |
| mojtaba | Dr_Willis: Do you know how can I have access to c$? because windows partitions are shared by default! | 02:53 |
| genoobie | varun_: I already had downloaded that | 02:53 |
| genoobie | I just haven't properly executed the b43-fwcutter command | 02:53 |
| genoobie | I don't know the path to the firmware | 02:53 |
| Dr_Willis | i dident think you needed the fwcutter if you installed that package | 02:53 |
| varun_ | genoobie, check with "ls /lib/firmware/b43" ... that directory doesn't exist by default | 02:53 |
| genoobie | yes, there is a folder there | 02:54 |
| varun_ | genoobie, Dr_Willis is right. b43-fwcutter does the same thing as the nonfree package, just in a different way.. | 02:54 |
| genoobie | there's a ton of ".fw" files | 02:54 |
| mojtaba | Dr_Willis: Do you know how can I have access to c$? because windows partitions are shared by default! | 02:54 |
| genoobie | so now what? | 02:54 |
| Dr_Willis | that package (look at its contents with mc) has /lib/firmware/b43 and a LOT of other .fw files | 02:55 |
| genoobie | yes | 02:55 |
| Dr_Willis | mojtaba: a share with $ is special i belive. Id make a 'backups' share. and use it. | 02:55 |
| varun_ | genoobie, then do - "sudo modprobe -rv b43"... then ... "sudo modprobe -v b43" .... then check - "dpkg | grep b43" ........ are there any firmware errors? | 02:55 |
| Dr_Willis | !samba | 02:56 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 02:56 |
| mojtaba | Dr_Willis: You mean I make a backup at the windows machine and share it? | 02:56 |
| Dr_Willis | mojtaba: yes.. make a Backups Folder and make it a share. | 02:56 |
| genoobie | dpkg | grep b43 | 02:57 |
| genoobie | dpkg error need an action option | 02:57 |
| varun_ | genoobie, oops, it was - "dmesg | grep b43" - sorry, just awoke ;P | 02:58 |
| mojtaba | Dr_Willis: The data is changing always, then I should backup 2 times? one in the windows and second on the linux machine? | 02:58 |
| genoobie | b43 phy0 error | 02:58 |
| genoobie | firmware file b43/ucode5.fw not found | 02:58 |
| varun_ | genoobie, is it a recent message? could be an older one when the firmware wasn't installed.. | 02:59 |
| genoobie | but at the end it says b43-phy0 loading firmware version 666.2 | 02:59 |
| genoobie | that seems to be the latest version | 02:59 |
| Dr_Willis | mojtaba: No idea. depends on how critical yor data is. | 02:59 |
| genoobie | varun_: will this be persistent? | 03:00 |
| varun_ | genoobie, check again "ls /lib/firmware/b43 | grep ucode5" - is it there? | 03:00 |
| genoobie | is there anything else I need to do? | 03:00 |
| varun_ | yes | 03:00 |
| mojtaba | Dr_Willis: If I format new hard drive NTFS on the linux machine, should I defragment it later? or there is no need for that in linux? | 03:00 |
| genoobie | well wireless signals are coming up | 03:00 |
| Dr_Willis | mojtaba: a newly formated ntfs - is not fragmented | 03:00 |
| varun_ | genoobie, it's all good then :) | 03:00 |
| Dr_Willis | mojtaba: and ext2/3/4 dont have fragmentation issues. | 03:00 |
| genoobie | yes it is there | 03:00 |
| mojtaba | Dr_Willis: I mean after a while | 03:00 |
| genoobie | so reboot will yield a working wireless | 03:00 |
| genoobie | yay! | 03:00 |
| genoobie | varun_: thank you very much | 03:01 |
| varun_ | genoobie, and did you mean the message will be persistent? If so.. no, it'll be gone at next boot | 03:01 |
| varun_ | Welcome :) | 03:01 |
| genoobie | no | 03:02 |
| genoobie | I meant will the wireless be persistent | 03:02 |
| genoobie | so varun_ I'd like to do a cleanup | 03:02 |
| genoobie | should I uninstall b43 | 03:02 |
| genoobie | I mean b43-fwcutter | 03:02 |
| varun_ | genoobie, yup that will be persistent (unless you fiddled with the sta driver too, we'll be right here if you did ;P) | 03:03 |
| genoobie | no I never did | 03:03 |
| genoobie | varun_: do you have a second | 03:04 |
| genoobie | I'm trying to make a synopsis of what I did | 03:04 |
| varun_ | genoobie, once the firmware files are in place, they'll always be there, unless you manually remove them. The only possible problem is the sta driver blacklisting the b43, which is as easy to fix as purging the sta | 03:04 |
| varun_ | yup | 03:04 |
| genoobie | 1) installed b43-fwcutter | 03:04 |
| genoobie | 2) tried to install firmware-b43-installer | 03:05 |
| genoobie | this failed because it wanted the firmware from the internet | 03:05 |
| genoobie | then 3) installed linux-firmware-nonfree1 | 03:05 |
| varun_ | genoobie, b43-fwcutter is just a helper, not needed anymore, but won't hurt either. So is no. 2) | 03:05 |
| genoobie | 4) accidentally grabbed the wrong tarball | 03:06 |
| varun_ | 3) is the real thing, has to be there now | 03:06 |
| genoobie | but #3 is just unpacking a bunch of firmware | 03:06 |
| genoobie | no? | 03:06 |
| genoobie | then I was going to execute the b43-fwcutter command on the wrong file but was stopped by you and Dr_Willis | 03:07 |
| varun_ | genoobie, yes, 3 did what you think, but I'm not sure if purging it will also remove the files. so better just leave it installed. | 03:08 |
| genoobie | who recognized that tarball was the wrong one | 03:08 |
| genoobie | then since you saw that I did #3 | 03:08 |
| genoobie | we can skip to #5) modprobe the right fw | 03:08 |
| varun_ | genoobie, we are not sure if it was the right or wrong file, we just didn't know about it, so better get rid of it | 03:09 |
| varun_ | the tar.bz file | 03:09 |
| genoobie | deleted it | 03:09 |
| genoobie | so to uninstall those two helper pkgs | 03:09 |
| genoobie | b43-fwcutter and firmware installer | 03:10 |
| genoobie | how do I do that | 03:10 |
| genoobie | dpkg -u? | 03:10 |
| varun_ | genoobie, if everything is right, you won't need to do anything manually now. It should all work automatically on next boot. | 03:10 |
| genoobie | let me reboot | 03:10 |
| genoobie | but don't I want to get rid of those helper bin? | 03:10 |
| varun_ | genoobie, in fact, you can just copy the /lib/firmware/b43 directory --> remove everything you tried --> copy the directory back "IF" it gets deleted during purging the nonfree package.. | 03:11 |
| genoobie | when I tried to copy a folder into that directory earlier it said "access denied" | 03:12 |
| varun_ | genoobie, you can copy "From" it. To copy "Into" it, you'll need to be root "sudo cp..." | 03:13 |
| genoobie | oh | 03:13 |
| genoobie | the FileMan won't handle this automatically? | 03:13 |
| varun_ | genoobie, so in short - you can delete all the helper packages now. Just keep the "linux-firmware-nonfree" one just in case. It'll work on all versions of Ubuntu. | 03:13 |
| genoobie | how do you "delete" the helper pkgs? | 03:14 |
| varun_ | genoobie, only if FileMan is opened as root "gksu.." | 03:14 |
| === Jan11 is now known as ON1 | ||
| genoobie | how do you delete the helper pkgs | 03:15 |
| varun_ | not necessary, but you should be able to "apt-get remove <desired package>" | 03:15 |
| varun_ | basically, I meant the garbage in your home or desktop :) | 03:15 |
| genoobie | oh | 03:15 |
| genoobie | so just the .deb files | 03:16 |
| varun_ | genoobie, the helpers are in KB anyway.. | 03:16 |
| genoobie | yeah | 03:16 |
| varun_ | yup | 03:16 |
| genoobie | I just like to keep it clean | 03:16 |
| varun_ | or "look" clean ;P | 03:16 |
| genoobie | to update the OS? | 03:16 |
| genoobie | software updater | 03:17 |
| varun_ | the firmware dir will survive updates | 03:17 |
| genoobie | was going to install flash | 03:17 |
| genoobie | hold a sec, I am going to shut down this laptop | 03:17 |
| genoobie | and start xchat from lubuntu | 03:17 |
| varun_ | go ahead.. | 03:17 |
| genoobie | oh | 03:18 |
| genoobie | Updated software has been issued since 13.04 was released | 03:19 |
| genoobie | 177MB | 03:19 |
| genoobie | ughj | 03:19 |
| varun_ | Mine has 640 MB pending.... ;) | 03:20 |
| Dr_Willis | and when installed.. takes up another 1mb of space. ;P | 03:20 |
| genoobie | yeah, I was happy with quetzal | 03:20 |
| rrm | no more support for 10.04.4 desktop? | 03:21 |
| varun_ | Dr_Willis, not going to sacrifice that much.. lol | 03:21 |
| varun_ | rrm, normally not, but what is your problem? | 03:21 |
| genoobie | I hoped that lubuntu would be lighter | 03:21 |
| genoobie | I want my kids to learn how to use a linux box | 03:21 |
| genoobie | screw windows | 03:21 |
| genoobie | but learn them both really | 03:21 |
| Dr_Willis | lubuntu is the lightest full featured desktop. | 03:22 |
| varun_ | on the system, yes, on the download size, not much | 03:22 |
| Dr_Willis | but lubuntu is lacking in some features many people want. | 03:22 |
| tekn33q | dont force your children to learn unix!!!! | 03:22 |
| rrm | @varun_ I can not run 12.04 LTS since no pae, I wanted centos 6.4 but that does not have pae either | 03:22 |
| tekn33q | thats mean | 03:22 |
| genoobie | Dr_Willis: like what? | 03:22 |
| varun_ | rrm, how much ram do you have? And are you sure your CPU is not 64 bit? | 03:23 |
| Dr_Willis | genoobie: just little things you may never notice. unless you use the other desktops then wonder how to drag an icon from the menu to the desktop. or a panel. or why theres no right-click-to-share feature | 03:23 |
| varun_ | genoobie, in order to learn Linux, your children don't have to learn to "screw windows".. :P | 03:23 |
| genoobie | yeah, I know | 03:24 |
| rrm | @varun_ ThinkPad R51, 1.5GHZ Pentium M, 2048Ram, 60GB HDD, | 03:24 |
| wilee-nilee | rrm, You can use the net install it has no pae. | 03:24 |
| genoobie | but I don't want to buy win7 or win8 | 03:24 |
| genoobie | I am running xp | 03:24 |
| genoobie | pretty soon at the EOL | 03:24 |
| varun_ | rrm, pae is required for more than 3.5 GB ram | 03:24 |
| Dr_Willis | its allready at EO. but its like a zombie that wont stay down.. ;P | 03:24 |
| grahamsavage_ | genoobie: all modern os's are pretty much the same, so unless your training them how to use terminal commands | 03:24 |
| genoobie | :) | 03:24 |
| grahamsavage_ | genoobie: i wouldn't say there's a great deal of difference between osx / windows / ubuntu from the UI side of things | 03:25 |
| varun_ | rrm, just download Lubuntu or Xubuntu 32 bit (torrents are recommended), and install it. | 03:25 |
| genoobie | well grahamsavage_ I would disagree just a little | 03:26 |
| genoobie | xp requires a quite a bit more maintenance than linux imo | 03:26 |
| rrm | do they have a long term support? I can do debian but that is a bit too hippy for me | 03:26 |
| cfhowlett | grahamsavage_, even less between OSX and stock Android | 03:26 |
| genoobie | from the perspective of browsing easily infected | 03:26 |
| genoobie | my kids are 10 | 03:26 |
| genoobie | they go to those stupid flash game sites and wham | 03:27 |
| genoobie | computer is infected | 03:27 |
| varun_ | rrm, Xubuntu has the long term support as far as I know, but Lubuntu not | 03:27 |
| grahamsavage_ | genoobie: nooooo, your kidding .. ubuntu is much harder than xp. xp has much wider range of device support (mainly because the manufacturers target windows) and in general you would have less problems even just for browsing | 03:27 |
| cfhowlett | rrm, next lubuntu 14.04 should be LTS | 03:27 |
| genoobie | grahamsavage_: yes | 03:27 |
| grahamsavage_ | genoobie: i view ubuntu as the OS for people who dont' mind putting in the effort | 03:27 |
| Dr_Willis | does it really matter if it has LTS support or not? ;) | 03:28 |
| grahamsavage_ | genoobie: I wouldn't recommend it to non-computer minded people though | 03:28 |
| varun_ | genoobie, be aware of the flash games, they can cause issues on Linux too if "allow connection to internet" is not disabled. | 03:28 |
| cfhowlett | Dr_Willis, only if you'd prefer to avoid updating every 6 - 9 months ... | 03:28 |
| genoobie | varun_: good to know | 03:28 |
| genoobie | is that a flash setting or a game by game setting | 03:28 |
| varun_ | genoobie, I was playing one on Gnash, and found it was connected to its server despite being an offline game. | 03:29 |
| genoobie | ugh | 03:29 |
| varun_ | genoobie, it is the player's setting. I was using Gnash | 03:29 |
| varun_ | by default, "Enable" was selected. | 03:30 |
| genoobie | well, the likelihood that a linux box will be infected is definitely much smaller than a windows box | 03:30 |
| genoobie | and just a tad bit easier to diag | 03:30 |
| genoobie | anyhow | 03:31 |
| varun_ | genoobie, yeah, as long as you don't run it as root, it can't spread anything, but still - the behaviour was something unwanted and unexpected. | 03:31 |
| LinuxGold | each OS is tailored for a level of user -- I prefer linux cuz it got a lot of utilities that helps me to do what Winblowz can't do. | 03:31 |
| genoobie | now that the install is nearly compete I'm going to clonezilla | 03:31 |
| genoobie | put the img somewhere safe | 03:31 |
| genoobie | and wait until my kids break it | 03:31 |
| genoobie | :) | 03:31 |
| varun_ | good idea - a very good one (clonezilla) | 03:31 |
| genoobie | this time it will be easier than a complete install | 03:31 |
| genoobie | varun_: thanks for the help btw | 03:32 |
| varun_ | it was fun :) | 03:32 |
| genoobie | :) | 03:33 |
| genoobie | oh crap | 03:33 |
| genoobie | I knew I should have uninstalled the helper apps | 03:33 |
| varun_ | What happened? | 03:34 |
| genoobie | when I updated, it just copied all new FW files into that dir | 03:34 |
| varun_ | shouldn't be a prob. | 03:34 |
| genoobie | funny because it downloaded that 5.100 | 03:34 |
| genoobie | hope you're right | 03:34 |
| varun_ | packages are new, but the fw files are almost always the same. | 03:35 |
| genoobie | if that is the case I can just dpkg that linux-nonfree | 03:35 |
| varun_ | Yup :) | 03:35 |
| genoobie | and it ought to overwrite them | 03:35 |
| missegg | I'm using gparted to copy the contents of one partition onto another. I got an error, "Input/output error during read on /dev/sda" What does it mean? | 03:39 |
| rrm | Holly cow, 1.8mb/s over LTE from xubuntu torrent, impressive | 03:40 |
| varun_ | rrm, and it ensures the integrity of the downloaded data too :) | 03:40 |
| cfhowlett | rrm, torrents are definitely the way to get ISO's ... | 03:41 |
| genoobie | varun_: LTE? | 03:41 |
| genoobie | brb | 03:41 |
| missegg | I'm using gparted to copy the contents of one partition onto another. I got an error, "Input/output error during read on /dev/sda" What does it mean? | 03:42 |
| grahamsavage_ | long-term-evolution is such a stupid name | 03:42 |
| crocket | Does ubuntu have an integrated calenar app? | 03:42 |
| crocket | KDE has KOrganizer. | 03:42 |
| crocket | I want to be notified about events. | 03:42 |
| rrm | cfhowlett, indeed, but at work i need to get direct, since they ban torrents and only get less than 1mb | 03:42 |
| varun_ | grahamsavage_, where did that name come from? I was going to look up the net ;) | 03:42 |
| === amarshall is now known as Guest30047 | ||
| cfhowlett | rrm, your are virtually guaranteed to get a fragged ISO via direct download. do your MD5sum hash check before installing same. | 03:43 |
| grahamsavage_ | varun_: no idea | 03:43 |
| cfhowlett | *you're* | 03:43 |
| varun_ | missegg, there can be many reasons for the error you are getting, most common being a failing drive, loose connection of bad sata/pata port. | 03:43 |
| varun_ | or*( | 03:44 |
| genoobie | yay | 03:44 |
| genoobie | I'm on my kids linux box | 03:44 |

| Gamer1990 | okay guys i'm having some issues with my screensavers | 03:44 |
| fuleo | i did a cd /var/www and theres an error message. INPUT/OUTPUT error. | 03:44 |
| varun_ | genoobie, so it survived the reboot? | 03:44 |
| missegg | varun_: Shall I stop the operation and do a disk check, or can I do it after? | 03:44 |
| fuleo | what does this mean... | 03:44 |
| genoobie | seems so | 03:44 |
| expo987 | you know a way to automatically run a terminal command on login? | 03:44 |
| genoobie | now time to install flash anbd go to bed | 03:44 |
| genoobie | how difficult is it to install flash | 03:44 |
| varun_ | missegg, you should check it first, else the copy may be corrupt too | 03:44 |
| fuleo | and i went to cd /var and do an ls -la... it shows file permission as D????????? | 03:44 |
| fuleo | and owner as ???? | 03:45 |
| Gamer1990 | i get this error when i run memscroller | 03:45 |
| fuleo | and group as ???? | 03:45 |
| fuleo | couldnt get into my /var/www | 03:45 |
| varun_ | beer to everyone on behalf of genoobie ?? | 03:45 |
| cfhowlett | genoobie, if you haven't already: set up the admin account for admin stuff and set up a normal desktop user account (non-privileged) for daily use. they can't install/delete system that way | 03:45 |
| rrm | @cfhowlett you know, i got centos 5.9 over ftp and was ok, depends of the network load i would say | 03:45 |
| Dr_Willis | expo987: depends on what the command is doing. ;) | 03:45 |
| missegg | varun_: What if I want to finish homework before the millenium ends? Is it the worst thing ever to do this? I mean the original has had zero problems | 03:45 |
| missegg | varun_: To run the disk check after, I mean | 03:45 |
| Dr_Willis | expo987: ~/.config/autostart/ is one place to put scripts and commands | 03:45 |
| varun_ | missegg, of course you can. It's your priorities :) | 03:46 |
| Gamer1990 | the error is unable to load font corier bold etc | 03:46 |
| missegg | varun_: As someone more experienced than me, what do you think the likelihood is of there being something seriously wrong? | 03:46 |
| genoobie | cfhowlett, okay | 03:47 |
| fuleo | guys... what does it mean if you run ls -la on your command console... and u see a folder with permissions as D????????? lots of question mark. is this corrupt ? | 03:47 |
| expo987 | Dr_Willis: i want to save thinkpad trackpoint settings | 03:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Gamer1990: so install the font? check the repos for fonts. or it may be in the ms fonts package | 03:47 |
| genoobie | I created two user accounts, one for each kid | 03:47 |
| missegg | varun_: the partition I'm copying is all my stuff and my operating system. So far no horrible problems. Computer is a couple years old | 03:47 |
| cfhowlett | genoobie, nicely done. | 03:47 |
| genoobie | how do I restrict their usage? | 03:47 |
| expo987 | Dr_Willis: Will that be okay? | 03:48 |
| Dr_Willis | genoobie: restrict them in what way? | 03:48 |
| varun_ | missegg, the only possible problem is a corrupt copy at the end. Worst case scenario - an unreadable partition on the target drive. | 03:48 |
| Dr_Willis | expo987: installing fonts is rather trivial. | 03:48 |
| genoobie | well nevermind | 03:48 |
| genoobie | I'm going to clonezilla the machine | 03:48 |
| genoobie | so let them break it | 03:48 |

| Gamer1990 | i have installed ttf-mscorefonts-installer from synaptic | 03:49 |

| Dr_Willis | expo987: make a script that does whatever command you want. put it in ~/.config/autostart/ | 03:49 |

| varun_ | missegg, repairs don't always work the way you think, they can sometimes 'change' the files which I'm sure you don't want. Better compare with the source, then delete. | 03:50 |
| expo987 | Dr_Willis: how do you 'make' a script | 03:50 |
| Dr_Willis | expo987: with a text editor | 03:50 |

| missegg | al_la: I *think* | 04:38 |
| al_la | missegg by default in 13.04 that's not doing anything for me | 04:38 |
| missegg | al_la: I apologize for being useless | 04:38 |
| al_la | missegg: it's not as if I knew the answer :) | 04:38 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis, I had a primary with my OS, then I installed a second OS on an extended, then I deleted the original, then I created a new primary, then I copied the extended to the primary, and now I am trying to boot from that | 04:39 |
| Dr_Willis | id have to pull out the old 'go search on askubuntu.com' answer. ;) i bet they got a page/sheet of all the shortcts. also perss and hold the SUPER key to see a common list | 04:39 |
| Dr_Willis | missegg: you copied as in CLONED/Imaged? if so i imagine you will need to correct your grub and fstab entries to match the new UUIDs | 04:40 |
| al_la | Dr_Willis tried and trying, no luck yet. was hoping it was something obvious, will keep looking though. | 04:40 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: I copied as in whatever gparted does when you copy + paste | 04:40 |
| Ben64 | al_la: make a script to do it for you | 04:41 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: But what you said sounds like it is probably the right thing to do. How may I do it | 04:41 |
| al_la | Ben64: yeah that's the only way I'm seeing to do it | 04:41 |
| Ben64 | either make one to turn the screen off whenever its locked, or a new shortcut to do both | 04:42 |
| Ben64 | i have my computer set up so when i walk in the room, the screen turns on and the lock is disabled automatically | 04:42 |
| Dr_Willis | missegg: no idea. Id check that the uuids are in fact differnt. if they are the same. that may cause all sorts of issues | 04:42 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: I don't know how to do that either. | 04:43 |
| Dr_Willis | missegg: the uuids may be differnt if Gparted | 04:43 |
| Ben64 | when you copy partitions, the uuid usually stays the same | 04:43 |
| Dr_Willis | !uuid | 04:43 |
| ubottu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 04:43 |
| Ben64 | and you can make the uuids whatever you want... /dev/sdc2: UUID="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000064" TYPE="ext4" | 04:43 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: They are exactly the same | 04:44 |
| Dr_Willis | if you are feeling brave.. change the one you DONT want to boot from/use ;) | 04:44 |
| Dr_Willis | tune2fs command can change the uuid | 04:44 |
| missegg | Ben64, Dr_Willis: How can I change one? What would I do after that to boot to the new primary? | 04:44 |
| Dr_Willis | there could be other things we are missing. Ive never bothered to switch drives this way | 04:45 |
| missegg | Ping me I don't know who you're talking to | 04:45 |
| missegg | or what you mean | 04:45 |
| Ben64 | missegg: tune2fs can change UUID | 04:45 |
| Ben64 | oh , Dr_Willis said that | 04:46 |
| missegg | Ben64: Oh geez, this command scares me. | 04:46 |
| Dr_Willis | you are the only one with a question at this time missegg ;) | 04:46 |

| Daemonx | is there anything non-wine use for netflix sub silverlight ? | 04:55 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: it should have the same amount of digits and the same dashes, yes? | 04:55 |
| missegg | Daemonx: Not at the moment | 04:55 |
| Dr_Willis | thats most likely a good idea missegg | 04:55 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: Gracias | 04:55 |
| Ari-Yang | Daemonx, as of now.. no | 04:55 |
| ur0pl | i have a second hand keyboard for my netbook with a peace sign key, a heart key, and a music note key as extra keys. any of oyu seen these keyboards? | 04:57 |
| bluedogslim_ | is there an easy way to install a .tar.gz file? Rather than using command lines? | 04:58 |
| Dr_Willis | bluedogslim_: No. | 04:58 |
| Dr_Willis | and how to inmstal it totally depends on whats IN that .tar.gz that is JUST an archive | 04:58 |
| Dr_Willis | it culd contain anything | 04:59 |
| bluedogslim_ | Ya, I'm noticing. | 04:59 |
| Dr_Willis | best to tell us what it is you want to do | 04:59 |
| Dr_Willis | and what is is you are installing | 04:59 |
| bluedogslim_ | I want to install a printer driver | 04:59 |
| bluedogslim_ | And its a tar.gz file. | 05:00 |
| Dr_Willis | and the printer is a? | 05:00 |
| bluedogslim_ | Canon ImageClass MF4890dw | 05:00 |
| Myrtti | bluedogslim_: have you plugged it in yet for the first time? | 05:00 |
| bluedogslim_ | I can't seem to get the scanner portion of it to work properly | 05:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Canon - eww. ;) THere are many canon drivers in the repos - just not installed by default | 05:00 |
| bluedogslim_ | Everything else works fine. | 05:00 |
| Myrtti | oh ok. You have. | 05:01 |
| Dr_Willis | the Scanner part - does NOT use the printer drivers. ;) cups handles printing | 05:01 |
| Dr_Willis | SANE handles scanners | 05:01 |
| bluedogslim_ | What is SANE? | 05:01 |
| Dr_Willis | its possible the scanner is not supported | 05:01 |
| Dr_Willis | !sane | 05:01 |
| ubottu | Scanning software: Simple-Scan (GNOME), Xsane, the GIMP (GNOME), Kooka (KDE). For instructions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScanningHowTo and to see supported hardware: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsScanners - See also !OCR | 05:01 |
| Dr_Willis | SCANE is the 'set' of tools that use scanners | 05:01 |
| bluedogslim_ | How do I know if my scanner is compatible with Sane? | 05:02 |
| Dr_Willis | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsScanners - | 05:02 |
| Dr_Willis | or the sane.org site | 05:02 |
| Dr_Willis | check at askubuntu.com may help also | 05:02 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: the output of changing it was 'tune2fs 1.42 (29-Nov-2011)' | 05:03 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: Does that mean I did it right? | 05:03 |
| crocket | hi | 05:03 |
| missegg | Hi, crocket | 05:03 |
| Dr_Willis | missegg: i dont think you will noticve the uuid change untill you reboot | 05:03 |
| crocket | Does unity or ubuntu have an integrated PIM software? | 05:03 |
| bluedogslim_ | Doesn't look like my scanner is supported. | 05:03 |
| Dr_Willis | bluedogslim_: with canon - be happy the printer works at all | 05:04 |
| crocket | I want a deamon to notify me of events in the background. | 05:04 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: sudo blkid says they are different now | 05:04 |
| bluedogslim_ | Dr_Willis - what brand should I consider in the future? | 05:04 |
| Dr_Willis | The Canon company - does not support linux very well | 05:04 |
| Dr_Willis | bluedogslim_: anything NOT canon. :) | 05:04 |
| Dr_Willis | i perfer brother | 05:04 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: I wrote the new one down. | 05:04 |
| bluedogslim_ | Its sometimes tricky to pick a printer for ubuntu | 05:05 |
| crocket | anyone? | 05:05 |
| kostkon_ | crocket, empathy? | 05:05 |
| crocket | what? | 05:05 |
| missegg | bluedogslim: I generally have very good luck with printers. | 05:05 |
| crocket | It's an IM software. | 05:05 |
| kostkon_ | crocket, click on the envelope icon in the tray, then select chat | 05:05 |
| kostkon_ | crocket, oh right. you said pi | 05:06 |
| crocket | I don't want chat. | 05:06 |
| missegg | kostkon_: I don't think that's what he's asking for | 05:06 |
| kostkon_ | pim* | 05:06 |
| bluedogslim_ | The issue isn't so much the printer. Its the extra features. | 05:06 |
| crocket | I want calendar. | 05:06 |
| bluedogslim_ | ie - Scanner | 05:06 |
| crocket | calendar events. | 05:06 |
| crocket | I want to be notified of calendar events. | 05:06 |
| missegg | crocket: evolution calendar | 05:06 |
| crocket | missegg, Does it run in the background? | 05:06 |
| crocket | How about thunderbird lightning? | 05:07 |
| missegg | crocket: last I checked it was the ONLY calendar supported. Also yes | 05:07 |
| missegg | crocket: I think you still have to hook thunderbird into evolution in a special way to get it to work. | 05:07 |
| bluedogslim_ | I'm here - | 05:07 |

| missegg | Dr_Willis, what do I do now? | 05:07 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: If I reboot, will it let me boot to the primary? | 05:07 |
| Dr_Willis | missegg: if you are lucky. it will see the new uuid and use that. | 05:09 |
| Dr_Willis | bluedogslim_: in the future - buy seperate scanner/printers. ;) much less hassles | 05:10 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: Okay, I'm putting my faith in you Doctor. Brb | 05:10 |
| Dr_Willis | missegg: ive sayd ive never done this befor | 05:10 |
| Dr_Willis | thers dozens of things we could be missing | 05:10 |
| bluedogslim_ | Dr_Willis - Its ok - Dont need the scanner. would be nice however | 05:10 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: Your bedside manner is terrible. | 05:11 |
| bluedogslim_ | I really do love ubuntu. | 05:11 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: I'm gonna reboot | 05:11 |
| Dr_Willis | last canon printer i had.. decided that the FullNew Blue Ink bottle that i spent $25 on.. was empty. | 05:11 |
| Dr_Willis | then it would work for a day.. then not for a week... | 05:11 |
| Dr_Willis | that one got gave away. ;) Gone to Brother and not had issues since. | 05:11 |
| missegg | I don't know what the point of owning a printer is. It never seems cost effective, always painful. | 05:12 |

| Dr_Willis | you may want to use that boot-repair tool missegg_ | 05:18 |
| missegg_ | Dr_Willis: ? | 05:18 |
| Dr_Willis | !fixgrub | 05:18 |
| ubottu | 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 | 05:18 |
| missegg_ | Dr_Willis: Why would I need to | 05:19 |
| Dr_Willis | first url mentions boot-repair | 05:19 |
| Dr_Willis | it can fix most any grub issyes you may ever encounter | 05:19 |
| missegg_ | Dr_Willis: I haven't had windows on this thing in years | 05:19 |
| Dr_Willis | why did you think you need to 'update-grub' ? ;) | 05:19 |
| missegg_ | Dr_Willis: Because grub didn't know there was another partition with an OS on it? | 05:20 |
| missegg_ | Dr_Willis: It wasn't listed as an option at boot | 05:20 |
| Dr_Willis | thought you dident want to boot that one? ;) or was i thinking of someone else. | 05:20 |
| Dr_Willis | the switched OS worked ? | 05:20 |
| missegg_ | Dr_Willis: Also gparted had a tool to generate to a new uuid all along. Why didn't you tell me, man? | 05:20 |
| missegg_ | Dr_Willis: I don't know man, I only just updated grub. | 05:20 |
| Dr_Willis | missegg_: and how many times did i say Ive never done this specific task befor | 05:21 |
| missegg_ | Dr_Willis: It's not a switched OS anyway, it's a clone of my current partition | 05:21 |
| Dr_Willis | missegg_: boot-repair i imagone could have fixed it with the existing uuid;s also | 05:21 |
| missegg_ | Dr_Willis: I bet you aren't even a licensed doctor | 05:21 |

| missegg | Y'know I would REALLY like to go to bed someday | 05:33 |
| root32 | Dr_Willis: Several tools for make boot usb ? | 05:33 |
| Dr_Willis | root32: the Pendrivelinux web site has a listing of such tools. | 05:33 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: I chose sda1, but it booted to sda6 anyway | 05:33 |
| Dr_Willis | theres dozens of them to choose from | 05:33 |
| Dr_Willis | missegg: chose what where? | 05:33 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: at boot | 05:33 |
| Dr_Willis | you mean at the GRUB menu? | 05:34 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: it gave me a list of options | 05:34 |
| Dr_Willis | you have both os's the 2 clones in the grub menu? | 05:34 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: yes | 05:34 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: and many different kernel choices as well | 05:34 |
| Dr_Willis | why not disable the one you dont want? thats what i culdent understand earlier why you were adding it back | 05:34 |
| missegg | Adding what back | 05:34 |
| missegg | I don't understand | 05:35 |
| Dr_Willis | If the grub configs tell the kernel to set / to be on sda6 then thats what it willuse for /. | 05:35 |
| missegg | I don't understand | 05:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Yep. i think thats part of the issue. | 05:35 |
| missegg | :\ | 05:35 |
| missegg | I have an extension partition. | 05:35 |
| Dr_Willis | grub passes that UUID info to the kernel. that tells the kernel where to look for / | 05:35 |
| Dr_Willis | exctended or primary dosent matter. its where its being told to look | 05:36 |
| missegg | I don't understand. | 05:36 |
| missegg | It said blah blah blah elementary kernel at sda1 | 05:36 |
| root32 | root32: Ok , i will check it.. | 05:36 |
| missegg | I chose the most recent kernel at sda1 | 05:36 |
| missegg | it booted to sda6 | 05:36 |
| root32 | Dr_Willis: Ok , i will check it.. | 05:36 |
| Dr_Willis | may be time to read up on how grub2 works. I imagine your grub configs are confused. or you got 2 differnt os's messing with grub. so its not using the right configs | 05:37 |
| Dr_Willis | 'booted to sda6' as in.. / is now mounted to sda6 ? | 05:37 |
| === andrex|off is now known as andrex | ||
| missegg | Dr_Willis: Yes, I'm mounted on sda6 | 05:37 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: Like usual | 05:38 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: But I wanted to boot to the clone | 05:38 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: so that I could disk check, be sure they were the same, and then delete the extension and use the extra space for my primary | 05:38 |
| Dr_Willis | both os's have differnt UUID's now? | 05:39 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: Basically I made a mistake a long time ago of only using an extension, and I couldn't get it to use the whole disk. Now I've run out of space | 05:39 |
| Dr_Willis | on al their partions? | 05:39 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: Yes | 05:39 |
| Dr_Willis | id have to ssuggest trying that boot-repair tool it may notice somthing thats been overlooked | 05:40 |
| katti | my wirelless modem not detected in ubuntu | 05:40 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: My goal is to have a normal primary partition that can use the whole disk space, minus the swap. | 05:40 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: Right now I've got this fixed extension. | 05:41 |
| Dr_Willis | you mean 'extended' partition? | 05:41 |
| Dr_Willis | You can resize those | 05:41 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: Not without a primary | 05:41 |
| Dr_Willis | you need to resize the Extended, then resize the logicals in it. | 05:41 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: it wouldn't let me. I came in a bunch of times asking how to do just that. | 05:41 |
| Dr_Willis | You just have to be carefullin your clickings in gparted | 05:42 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: I was told repeatedly that I needed to make a normal primary partition and use that, | 05:42 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: Trust me, I tried. | 05:42 |
| Dr_Willis | ive resized extended/logicals befor. | 05:42 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: I already cloned it. I just want a normal primary. | 05:42 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: I don't want to deal with a bizarre set up after a hellish time trying to resize it. | 05:43 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: What is the tool I need to use | 05:44 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive mentioned trying 'boot-repair' several times missegg | 05:44 |
| Dr_Willis | it can sort out most issues | 05:44 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: It's not a known package. | 05:44 |
| Dr_Willis | did you look at the wiki page the bot said? it gives how to install it | 05:45 |

| missegg | Dr_Willis: It didn't work | 05:58 |

| missegg | Dr_Willis: I chose sda1 and yet I'm mounted at sda6 | 05:58 |
| Dr_Willis | and if you choose sda6 ? | 05:59 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: I used recommended repair | 05:59 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: uh | 05:59 |
| === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off | ||
| missegg | Dr_Willis: sda1 even has a boot flag | 06:00 |
| Dr_Willis | im not sure that grub/linux cares about the boot flag | 06:01 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: Well I checked it for errors as well | 06:01 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: I do not understand what is wrong | 06:01 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: or why it hates this partition | 06:01 |
| Dr_Willis | look in the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file | 06:02 |
| Dr_Willis | there will be some lines that mention root=UUID=(YOURUUID NUMBERS) | 06:03 |
| Dr_Willis | if those are pointing to the wrong UUID then that may be the issue | 06:03 |
| Dr_Willis | bu that file is auto-generated by the grub tools. so not sure how best to make it sort it out | 06:03 |
| Dr_Willis | ALSO YOU did alter your /etc/fstab ? | 06:04 |
| Dr_Willis | #Entry for /dev/sda1 : | 06:04 |
| Dr_Willis | UUID=96db155e-8d35-4766-8719-7af79fc82eac / ext4 discard,n | 06:04 |
| Dr_Willis | that UUID tells the system where to mount / to. | 06:04 |
| Dr_Willis | did you change the NEW installs UUID. or the old installs? | 06:04 |
| missegg | too many sentences and you're not pinging my Dr_Willis | 06:05 |
| missegg | hold up | 06:05 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: first, the UUID is wrong it looks like | 06:05 |
| Dr_Willis | if your fstab is telling it to use / on the sda1 then thats what both os's will use. if their fstab is identical | 06:05 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis actually wait wait wait | 06:06 |

| missegg | I'm confused and you said way too much | 06:06 |
| Dr_Willis | reread it slowly i guess | 06:06 |
| missegg | I didn't touch /etc/fstab | 06:06 |
| Dr_Willis | fstab definds where / is at.. so sounds like thats your next step | 06:06 |
| missegg | I don't remember what the first thing you said was | 06:06 |
| missegg | You completely lost me | 06:07 |
| Dr_Willis | i imagine the grub files are corredt. its your fstab thats wrong | 06:07 |
| missegg | I haven't seen 80% of your messages | 06:07 |
| Dr_Willis | why not? we are the only 2 here. | 06:07 |
| missegg | The WHOLE CHAT is CONSTANTLY MOVING UP | 06:07 |
| missegg | There are new messages constantly | 06:07 |
| missegg | no | 06:07 |
| missegg | I cannot easily read your messages | 06:07 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm. Not for me. ;) but you may want to figure out how to ignreo parts/joins in your client | 06:07 |
| missegg | You have to go at a pace that is reasonable. I don't care if it's not hard for you. Not everyone is you. | 06:08 |
| dyay | Can't you tilt your phone? | 06:08 |
| Dr_Willis | missegg: bottom line - check/fix your /etc/fstab to point to the right uuid for / | 06:08 |
| Dr_Willis | I stil have to wonder what new messages.. if you mean 'bubba has joined, bubba has left' you CAN turn those off in most irc clients | 06:09 |
| dyay | Really? | 06:09 |
| dyay | Not on andchat! | 06:10 |
| Dr_Willis | err.. Yes you can on andchat | 06:10 |
| Dr_Willis | I use andchat daily for 5+ hrs a day | 06:10 |
| dyay | And xchat.. | 06:10 |
| Dr_Willis | xchat - you definatly can also | 06:10 |
| dyay | How? | 06:10 |
| Dr_Willis | used that for literally decades. ;) | 06:10 |
| Dr_Willis | well years | 06:10 |
| Dr_Willis | right click on a tab/channel name.. | 06:10 |
| Dr_Willis | its in the xchat docs/faq i imagine. | 06:10 |
| dyay | How you turn the messages off? | 06:10 |
| Dr_Willis | andchat has it in the settings | 06:11 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: I'm looking at fstab | 06:11 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: it says it's static information | 06:11 |
| Dr_Willis | xchat has a conf_mode (conferance mode) | 06:11 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: It's listing the mounted partitions | 06:11 |
| Dr_Willis | missegg: the first line that defines / here. mentions the UUID. you need to tell it the proper UUID for the partion you want it to mount to / when you boot up. | 06:12 |
| === matthew_ is now known as mjayk | ||
| Dr_Willis | missegg: i would alter the /etc/fstab file on both installs. to be the same. and make them both mount / on the primary partion you made. | 06:12 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: I don't think this is a config file | 06:13 |
| Dr_Willis | you can even use the /dev/sdXX type name instead of UUID=#### if it makes it easier to read | 06:13 |

| Dr_Willis | UUID=736c920a-1666-4edc-9e1b-9abf9e7aeaca / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 | 06:14 |
| Dr_Willis | make that UUID point to the UUID of the partion you want to be / | 06:15 |
| Dr_Willis | what was the device you want to be / ? sda2? or what exactly | 06:15 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: sda1 | 06:15 |
| Dr_Willis | and the UUID of sda1 is what? | 06:16 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: The same, but instead of 1666 it is 1777 | 06:16 |
| Dr_Willis | 'sudo blkid /dev/sda1' will show you | 06:16 |
| Dr_Willis | so.. you chante the fstab file to be UUID=736c920a-1777- >the rest< | 06:17 |
| missegg | Dr_Willis: So I mount the clone and do the same to its fstab? | 06:17 |
| Dr_Willis | missegg: yes. i would do it to both | 06:17 |
| Dr_Willis | booting either one will then get your / to be on sda1 | 06:18 |

| missegg | brb | 06:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Not seen anyone else mention it scrapcode | 06:24 |
| varunendra | scrapcode, upgrading from what? A previous version of Ubuntu? | 06:24 |
| Dr_Willis | but i imagine most people are either upgraded.. or waiting for 13.10 | 06:24 |
| scrapcode | I uppped to 12.10 from 12.04 then this | 06:25 |
| scrapcode | Just realized it was out >_< | 06:25 |
| Dr_Willis | 13.04 has been out for almost 6 mo | 06:25 |
| Dr_Willis | 13.10 is due out next month | 06:25 |
| scrapcode | It's at the "Installing the upgrades" step and has been spitting a few "Can | 06:25 |
| scrapcode | Can | 06:25 |
| scrapcode | Can't install this pkg" errors | 06:26 |
| scrapcode | Sorry, my keyboard is layed out weird. | 06:26 |
| varunendra | scrapcode, are you using PPAs? | 06:26 |
| missegg_ | Dr_Willis: I changed fstab in sda6 but it still boots to sda1 | 06:26 |
| Dr_Willis | change it in both? | 06:27 |
| scrapcode | varunendra: What's that? I am trying this one through the GUI. | 06:27 |
| scrapcode | Ah, shit. Just finished: "The upgrade has completed but there were errors during the upgrade process" This should end well... | 06:28 |
| Dr_Willis | scrapcode: ;) | 06:28 |
| scrapcode | And I just downloaded Ubuntu like a week ago, and 12.04 is what it gave me | 06:28 |
| varunendra | scrapcode, PPAs are third party repositories, used for third party software. | 06:28 |
| Dr_Willis | scrapcode: 12.04 is the latest 'LTS" release | 06:28 |
| missegg_ | Dr_Willis: I don't know how | 06:28 |
| missegg_ | Dr_Willis: I tried mounting but I didn't know how to get to the contents | 06:28 |
| Dr_Willis | missegg_: use the shell. and a text editor as root (sudo vi /the/path/to/the/other/install/etc/fstab) | 06:29 |
| scrapcode | varunendra: Yeah, I've added a few for some things like Code::Blocks and Spotify, Skype... | 06:29 |

| SpeedFire_laptop | Hi, Someone can help me to install bumblebee under ubuntu 12.04 ? | 06:30 |
| ljsoftnet | SpeedFire_laptop what does bumblebee do? | 06:31 |
| Dr_Willis | there should be some guides at askubuntu.com SpeedFire_laptop | 06:31 |
| SpeedFire_laptop | Its when you have 2 graphic cards on your laptop | 06:31 |
| ljsoftnet | two discrete or 1 integrated 1 discrete? | 06:31 |
| missegg_ | Dr_Willis: first, vi sucks. I don't understand this. Second, permission denied. | 06:31 |
| missegg_ | Dr_Willis: it is sudo and it is mounted | 06:32 |
| varunendra | missegg_, I think you wanted to boot to sda1 - "<Dr_Willis> what was the device you want to be / ? sda2? or what exactly | 06:32 |
| varunendra | <missegg> Dr_Willis: sda1" | 06:32 |
| Dr_Willis | missegg_: what was the exact command you used? | 06:32 |
| missegg_ | Yes | 06:32 |
| missegg_ | sda1 | 06:32 |
| SpeedFire_laptop | theses commands : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee | 06:32 |
| Pingu | codex, you there? | 06:32 |
| missegg_ | Dr_Willis: I can't give you the exact one because vi behaves strangely and I hate it. I have to close terminal to get it to quit. I said sudo vi /dev/sda1/etc/fstab | 06:33 |
| missegg_ | and got [permission denied] | 06:33 |
| Dr_Willis | missegg_: i said you can use nano instead. | 06:34 |
| Dr_Willis | and that command is wrong | 06:34 |
| varunendra | missegg_, I think it may be helpful if we can take a look at current outputs of "sudo blkid" and "cat <path to desired partition for '/'>/etc/fstab" | 06:34 |
| Dr_Willis | /media/themountpoint/etc/fstab | 06:34 |
| Dr_Willis | not /dev/sda1 | 06:34 |
| Dr_Willis | missegg_: to close vi -> esc :q | 06:35 |
| missegg_ | Dr_Willis: I don't understand. | 06:35 |
| Dr_Willis | dont understand what? | 06:35 |
| Dr_Willis | /dev/sda1 is NOT a mountpoint - its a device. you use the path to the file. not /dev/ANYTHING | 06:35 |
| karab44 | hello | 06:35 |
| missegg_ | JESUS | 06:35 |
| missegg_ | I did cat /dev/sda1 and unleashed hellfire | 06:36 |
| missegg_ | I don't understand what you want from me | 06:36 |
| missegg_ | I don't know what the damn path is | 06:36 |
| Dr_Willis | we are training you in whats rather core/fundamental stuff here missegg_ | 06:36 |
| missegg_ | Dr_Willis: Core fundamental stuff is using a GUI, smartypants. 99% of the population would never consider this core. | 06:37 |
| Dr_Willis | it may be time to read up on some bash basics. as we said. /dev/sda1 is the 'partion' you MOUNT a partition to a folder. ie: /media/sda1 | 06:37 |
| Dr_Willis | missegg_: this is very very much core stuff here. | 06:37 |
| Dr_Willis | a path is not a device. | 06:37 |
| missegg_ | Dr_Willis: Stop being condescending. If I knew everything I wouldn't be here. | 06:37 |
| Dr_Willis | missegg_: you dont seem to be listening is the main problem. and you are expecting us to train you in stuff you can learn from some basic guides. | 06:37 |
| viddy | He is not being condescending. He's trying to help you. | 06:38 |
| missegg_ | viddy: He is doing one well and the other badly | 06:38 |
| varunendra | missegg_, do you have the partition mounted that you want to boot from? If yes, please show us the output of "mount" command. | 06:38 |
| missegg_ | varunedra: I do, one sec | 06:38 |
| missegg_ | varunendra: What should I be looking for in the output? | 06:39 |
| varunendra | missegg_, the "Female handle" not working anymore ? ;P | 06:39 |
| varunendra | missegg_, just pastebin the output, and give us its link | 06:40 |
| missegg_ | varunedra: oh hush | 06:40 |
| varunendra | it'd be easier to suggest after taking a look at it | 06:40 |
| missegg_ | kk, one sec | 06:40 |
| missegg_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6144365/ | 06:40 |
| Dr_Willis | missegg_: so what command did you use to mount sda1 earlier? | 06:41 |
| missegg_ | Dr_Willis: the gparted option | 06:41 |
| Dr_Willis | i would suggest not doing that any more. but use the cli to mount. | 06:42 |
| Dr_Willis | you have sda6 and sda1 BOTH mounted to / | 06:42 |
| Dr_Willis | some how.. | 06:42 |
| varunendra | missegg_, please show us the outputs of "sudo blkid" also. | 06:42 |
| missegg_ | Dr_Willis: uh | 06:42 |
| Dr_Willis | im not even sure how thats possible. i would 'sudo umount /dev/sda1' and see if it lets you do it | 06:42 |

| missegg_ | Well how was I supposed to unmount the partition I'm using?! | 06:44 |
| missegg_ | Nobody told me to go to a live drive | 06:44 |
| Dr_Willis | missegg_: you dont need to do it from a live drive. | 06:45 |

| Dr_Willis | you can use a live drive.. or not. | 06:45 |

| varunendra | Dr_Willis, let's take a look at them separately first (unmount - remount on a different mount point) | 06:45 |
| Dr_Willis | varunendra yep. if it lets that happen | 06:45 |
| varunendra | missegg_, now the output of "cat /etc/fstab" | 06:45 |

| Daniel110 | my windows partition crashed and i can't log in, i really need to get a file saved in my windows parition i was wondering if there was a way to access it from my ubuntu parition | 06:46 |
| missegg_ | varunendra: the output belongs to sda6 | 06:46 |
| Dr_Willis | Daniel110: the file manager, or cli should let you mount windows partions and access the files | 06:46 |
| aeon-ltd | Daniel110: if it's mounted can you explore it? | 06:46 |
| missegg_ | varunendra: It's the one Dr_Condescension had me edit | 06:46 |
| varunendra | we'll figure that out missegg_ | 06:46 |
| missegg_ | varunendra: I never edited the other one | 06:47 |
| Dr_Willis | missegg_: i imagine very few people will jump in to help you if you keep that up. | 06:47 |
| Daniel110 | i never mounted a partition so i don't really know how it works | 06:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Daniel110: use 'sudo blkid' to see what partion is the windows partion | 06:47 |
| varunendra | missegg_, just show us the output, then maybe pour yourself some coffee and get a huge sandwich, while we.... | 06:47 |
| missegg_ | Dr_Willis: I imagine very few people will jump to be helped by you if you're lecturing them about what they don't know in a support irc | 06:48 |

| Dr_Willis | manik_: alternatively see if you got a .dmrc file if so rename it so it uses the default | 06:53 |

| Dr_Willis | manik_: in your home directory with all the other . (dot) files | 07:00 |
| Dr_Willis | manik_: 'mv .dmrc backup.dmrc' to rename it | 07:00 |
| varunendra | missegg_, a clone? I forgot that. Probably booting into a live session is a good idea. Other partitions won't mount automatically in it. | 07:01 |

| sgo11 | let me try another question or way. is that possible to simulate a key press event in command line? I just want to write a script which can do the same thing when I press "start" button. thanks. | 07:16 |
| varunendra | missegg, what is the name of the other (for clarity)? | 07:16 |
| missegg | varunendra: sda6 is Old Blood, sda1 is New Blood | 07:16 |
| missegg | Don't laugh | 07:16 |

| miaqinas | no.. | 07:27 |
| wilee-nilee | miaqinas, Is the windows install W8? | 07:27 |
| root32 | i installed ubuntu 12.4 , but when start Say : Error Load operating system.. , why ? | 07:27 |
| varunendra | missegg, and you want to boot from sda1? Not (read "Never") from sda6? | 07:27 |
| auscompgeek | root32: could you send us the exact error message you get? | 07:28 |
| missegg | varunendra: uuh | 07:28 |
| missegg | varunendra: I want to boot from sda1 | 07:28 |
| miaqinas | no..i dint installing W8 | 07:28 |
| auscompgeek | zexcriz: tried apt-get -f ? | 07:28 |
| missegg | varunendra: but I still want to be able to check it agains sda6 | 07:28 |
| auscompgeek | miaqinas: take a look at the first link ubottu sent above | 07:28 |
| miaqinas | k thank you very much | 07:29 |
| wilee-nilee | miaqinas, run the bootinfo summary in the bootrepair app only and post the url that is made to it. | 07:29 |
| missegg | varunendra: there was a small error when I was cloning. i checked the disk, but I still want to be 100% sure it's a good clone | 07:29 |
| varunendra | missegg, do you have both the partitions mounted? We need to edit or swap both the fstab files. | 07:30 |
| missegg | varunendra: yess | 07:30 |
| varunendra | missegg, close the file manager, and open it as root (gksu nautilus). | 07:31 |
| missegg | varunendra: yessir | 07:31 |

| root32 | auscompgeek: Sorry , it Say : Missing Operating System.. | 07:31 |
| missegg | varunendra: next? | 07:31 |
| miaqinas | so..to make dual OS..need a make partitiona 1st? | 07:31 |
| git-user | sorry, got disconnected, say again. | 07:31 |
| git-user | others are facing similar problem: http://askubuntu.com/questions/330979/wireless-adapter-connection-error | 07:32 |
| varunendra | missegg, now browse to one fstab, cut-paste it to the desktop > browse to the other > cut-paste it to where the first was > move the desktop one to the second one's location. | 07:32 |
| varunendra | missegg, so that both are swapped | 07:32 |
| missegg | varunendra: Why am I doing that? | 07:32 |
| varunendra | missegg, because each one needs to reflect the UUID of the partition it is on. | 07:33 |
| zexcriz | auscompgeek, apt-get -f ? what should i do ? | 07:33 |
| miaqinas | Installing Ubuntu after Windows..i got it..thanks | 07:33 |
| varunendra | missegg, currently, both are mounting the other partition, not the one they themselves are on. | 07:34 |
| root32 | After the ubuntu install error message : Missing Operating System :( | 07:34 |
| auscompgeek | root32: you'll have do a boot repair | 07:35 |
| missegg | varunendra: It is done my liege | 07:35 |
| auscompgeek | zexcriz: open a terminal and type in sudo apt-get -f | 07:35 |
| auscompgeek | zexcriz: hopefully that'll fix things | 07:35 |
| root32 | auscompgeek: how to do it? | 07:35 |
| Dr_Willis | root32: could be you are booting the wrong hard drive. or need to use that boot-repair tool to fix it | 07:35 |
| Dr_Willis | root32: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 07:36 |
| SpeedFire_laptop | a boot repair ? why ? | 07:36 |
| varunendra | missegg, now reboot with the hard disk this time, don't mount any partitions after booting, and check if "sda1" is mounted ("mount" command). I assume only sda6 will mount, which we'll fix then | 07:36 |
| missegg | varunendra: Do I attempt to boot to sda1? | 07:37 |
| missegg | varunendra: or do I let it go to sda6 | 07:37 |
| varunendra | missegg, do you get the grub menu? | 07:37 |
| missegg | varunendra: Always have | 07:38 |
| varunendra | missegg, do you have the other one listed already? | 07:38 |
| zexcriz | auscompgeek, sudo apt-get -f does nothing, it's an uncomplete command. | 07:38 |
| missegg | varunendra: Yes | 07:38 |
| zexcriz | s/uncomplete/incomplete | 07:38 |
| usr13 | missegg: Shift Key | 07:38 |
| varunendra | missegg, then go ahead, boot the one on sda1 | 07:38 |
| missegg | varunendra: I try to choose sda1 but it never goes to it | 07:38 |
| missegg | varunendra: It always boots to sda6 as normal | 07:39 |
| varunendra | missegg, this time it should | 07:39 |
| missegg | varunendra: okay | 07:39 |
| missegg | brb | 07:39 |
| * Dr_Willis hands varunendra a cookie | 07:42 | |
| * varunendra desperately needed it ;P | 07:42 | |
| Dr_Willis | varunendra: this is going on like 6 hrs now. | 07:42 |
| varunendra | Dr_Willis, height of expectations sometimes.. :) | 07:43 |
| === dstevens is now known as GoatBoy | ||
| missegg | Ugh | 07:43 |
| missegg | Being Egg is suffering | 07:44 |
| varunendra | missegg, fresh output of mount? Any better? | 07:44 |
| missegg | varunendra: no | 07:44 |
| missegg | varunendra: Exactly the same as it's been for the past four hours | 07:44 |
| varunendra | missegg, let's see it then | 07:44 |
| missegg | varunendra: It's sda6 | 07:45 |
| missegg | varunendra: I have to sleep | 07:45 |
| varunendra | missegg, Please do - "sudo update-grub", then reboot (I hate to say that word, but..) and try booting to the other one (sda6) | 07:46 |
| varunendra | ohsosoft, okay missegg | 07:46 |
| missegg | varunendra: okay okay | 07:46 |
| wilee-nilee | I would just use super grub to see if sda1 boots it had an error in the copy. | 07:46 |
| varunendra | ohsosoft, sorry, didn't mean you | 07:46 |
| missegg | wilee-nilee: Hm? | 07:47 |
| missegg | wilee-nilee: I thought it might have, but I checked it for errors | 07:47 |
| missegg | brb rebooting | 07:47 |
| wilee-nilee | missegg, Has sda1 ever booted yet? | 07:48 |
| missegg | wilee-nilee: No | 07:48 |
| varunendra | wilee-nilee, if they never did an "update-grub", I would think it is all normal behaviour, the sda1 listing in grub menu could be a result of messed up fstab. | 07:48 |
| missegg | I did update-grub multiple times | 07:48 |
| varunendra | missegg, once more :) | 07:48 |
| missegg | ok. | 07:49 |
| missegg | brb | 07:49 |
| wilee-nilee | sure, but an easy check by manually booting it or using super grub to it would answer a few questions, if it boot load grub to the mbr from its desktop and confirm the fstab. | 07:49 |
| wilee-nilee | boots* | 07:49 |
| varunendra | wilee-nilee, perhaps the next, probably the last recommendation would be boot-repair? I think it can easily fix it all. | 07:50 |
| varunendra | although I may attempt doing it manually with "grub-install" | 07:51 |
| varunendra | from live session | 07:51 |
| wilee-nilee | yeah might do it, clones in the same HD are a tough one, even if you change the uuid, we have to assume that change worked right. | 07:51 |
| missegg_ | Nope nope nope | 07:51 |
| missegg_ | tears for Egg, tears eternal | 07:52 |
| varunendra | missegg_, mount shows both sda1 and sda6 mounted? or just sda6? | 07:52 |
| missegg_ | varunendraL | 07:52 |
| missegg_ | varunendra: the same as the last four freaking hours | 07:53 |
| missegg_ | varunendra: just sda1 | 07:53 |
| missegg_ | varunendra: just sda6 | 07:53 |
| missegg_ | varunendra: I meant 6 | 07:53 |
| varunendra | missegg_, I'm confused. Only sda6, right? That's expected | 07:53 |
| missegg_ | varunendra: JUST SDA6 | 07:54 |
| missegg_ | varunendra: EVEN THOUGH I CHOSE SDA1 | 07:54 |
| missegg_ | varunendra: AND WANT SDA1 | 07:54 |
| varunendra | missegg_, forget what your current grub menu tells you. We only need to make sure only one partitions is mounted which it currently is.. | 07:55 |
| varunendra | now the rest of the things should be easy.. | 07:55 |
| missegg_ | varunendra: THERE IS BUT ONE | 07:55 |
| missegg_ | varunendra: it's definitely and absolutely sda6 | 07:56 |
| wilee-nilee | missegg_, Have you run sudo update-grub from the original sda^? | 07:56 |
| wilee-nilee | sda6* | 07:56 |
| missegg_ | wilee-nilee: Many many times | 07:56 |
| missegg_ | wilee-nilee: As I said earlier | 07:56 |
| wilee-nilee | missegg_, It is reading the same grub info from sda1 I think | 07:56 |
| missegg_ | This is stupid. Why is it so damn hard to create a new partition, put an OS on it, and boot to it | 07:57 |
| varunendra | missegg_, let's just reinstall grub, with correct config this time (hopefully) | 07:57 |
| missegg_ | varunendra: I did that earlier and it did nothing | 07:58 |
| varunendra | missegg_, how did you do it? And earlier, your fstab wasn't correct as far as I know | 07:58 |
| wilee-nilee | varunendra, I would chroot sda1 and purge and reload grub and then its bootloader to the mbr | 07:58 |
| missegg_ | varunendra: with boot-repair like Dr_Willis said | 07:59 |
| varunendra | wilee-nilee, how about "sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/<mountpoint of sda1> sda" ?? | 07:59 |
| wilee-nilee | varunendra, Might work, if not I would purge it, persoanlly I would do it all since you would be chrooted in is all. | 08:00 |
| varunendra | missegg_, please open the file manager and confirm that "New Blood" is not already mounted. | 08:00 |
| perpustakaanfibu | gjhfh | 08:00 |
| missegg_ | For some reason New Blood is mounted now | 08:00 |
| perpustakaanfibu | gfjhfgjhfgjh | 08:00 |
| varunendra | missegg_, already? | 08:00 |
| missegg_ | After running boot-repair, yeah | 08:00 |
| missegg_ | I can actually go to its directory now | 08:01 |
| missegg_ | It's not doing something crazy like earlier | 08:01 |
| varunendra | missegg_, I would think that it corrected it now. | 08:01 |
| varunendra | since the fstab is fixed | 08:01 |
| missegg_ | varunendra: So now what | 08:01 |
| varunendra | reboot to check, if not fixed yet, we'll do it manually | 08:02 |
| missegg_ | uuuuuuuuugh | 08:02 |
| missegg_ | brb | 08:02 |
| varunendra | wilee-nilee, I've never tried chroot, so it just scares me ;P | 08:03 |
| varunendra | although theoretically it seems the perfect remedy | 08:04 |
| tiffany22 | Hi there, can somebody help me please. I have serious problem with my browsers | 08:04 |

| lkthomas | Dr_Willis: not work against active directory login | 08:09 |

| varunendra | missegg, if you want to take a break, I'd suggest to post a thread in ubuntuforums.org and post all the details there. Sometimes a fresh mind can do miracles, and a tired one can do 'different' kind of miracles.. ;P | 08:16 |

| wilee-nilee | zexcriz, the info in the dist-upgrade should be helpful, I'm not quite sure how to read that and offer help. My wonder is how and where that broken stuff came from. | 08:49 |
| zexcriz | wilee-nilee, it's been quite long time i am facing this prob. | 08:50 |
| zexcriz | the prob is with the man-db package | 08:50 |
| zexcriz | if i remove it everything works fine | 08:51 |
| wilee-nilee | zexcriz, What was the original install, and where is it from? | 08:51 |
| zexcriz | wilee-nilee, can't get you ? | 08:51 |

| cfhowlett | Han, http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/http://doc.ubuntu.com | 08:52 |
| wilee-nilee | zexcriz, this stuff, you have 6 broken packages. /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/DbDriver/File.pm | 08:52 |
| wilee-nilee | whatever that is attached to, I don't recognize exactly what it is, whatever you removed did not get everything is my guess, | 08:53 |
| === t4nk718 is now known as eleasar4u | ||
| wilee-nilee | zexcriz, I'm not sure what you mean by "if i remove it everything works fine" this happens then when you try a install of the same thing again? | 08:55 |
| Han | cfhowlett, you tell me something which I already know. It's down. | 08:55 |
| zexcriz | wilee-nilee, when i am install man-db packages probs are created | 08:55 |
| zexcriz | then i can't install even a single package. | 08:55 |

| eleasar221 | I am using Sony VAIO VPCEB24EN laptop. After installing Ubuntu 12.04 or Lubuntu 13.04 my laptop CPU makes a terrible noise. | 09:03 |
| eleasar221 | Please advise how to fix this. | 09:03 |
| cfhowlett | eleasar22, lubricate the fan? | 09:04 |
| cfhowlett | eleasar22, for the record, cpu's don't make audible noise under normal circumstances ... | 09:04 |
| Dr_Willis | unless you got uber hearing and can hear the electrons zipping around? ;) | 09:05 |
| eleasar221 | @cfhowlett: no boss | 09:05 |
| varunendra | Dr_Willis, or unless it is cracking with heat.. :P | 09:05 |
| zippo^ | why has ubuntu 12.04 installed little theme's as Radiance , Ambiance? | 09:06 |
| zippo^ | I want Human theme too | 09:06 |
| eleasar221 | @cfhowlett: cpu making noise after installing lubuntu but no noise when using windows 7 | 09:06 |
| Dr_Willis | eleasar221: now the cpu or video FAN running at high speed - is a common bug in linux. | 09:07 |
| varunendra | eleasar221, what is your graphics card. Is everything performing nicely other than the sound? | 09:07 |
| cfhowlett | eleasar221, cpu's don't make noise within the range of human hearing ... | 09:09 |
| eleasar221 | @varunendra: ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5145 Graphics | 09:09 |
| eleasar221 | @varunendra: any advise please? Graphics card : ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5145 Graphics | 09:10 |
| eleasar221 | Thanks cfhowlett | 09:10 |
| varunendra | eleasar221, not very familiar with graphics drivers, but I think the proprietary fglrx drivers work better than the native radeon driver (or it's the opposite of it) | 09:10 |
| cfhowlett | !ati | 09:11 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 09:11 |
| varunendra | eleasar221, are you using the proprietary driver for it? | 09:11 |
| Soul_Sample | well, that's the case usually. i get really high temperatures when using anything but the proprietary driver | 09:11 |
| eleasar221 | @varunendra: no | 09:12 |
| varunendra | eleasar221, probably the link cfhowlett gave can offer better help than I can, but does "Additional Drivers" program offer any proprietary driver for it? | 09:12 |
| varunendra | eleasar221, see Soul_Sample 's testimony for the proprietary drivers (although it is not 'always' the case with everything) ;) | 09:14 |
| fotoport-1 | i need help | 09:15 |
| eleasar221 | ok varunendra..thanks | 09:15 |

| cfhowlett | eleasar221, choose your battles. Sounds like 2 issues are in play; the fan is running long & loud and the graphics driver may be wrong. Those 2 problems have been observed to occur together. First see to your graphics. That might fix the fan issue. | 09:16 |

| muindor | have some kind of problem with installing ubuntu server. got an ibm hardware server here for testing. i set up the raid in bios (lsi megaraid) by setting device options from ide to raid and created a raid 1. now after doing this and trying to boot from the cd, it just kicks me right into some grub shell instead of the usual menue (install ubuntu, install in expert mode etc). im not sure how to go on from this grub shell now | 09:42 |

| jeetpei | ActionParsnip: i am not aware about this can you please give me more info ? | 10:03 |
| ActionParsnip | jeetpei: you'll need a variable which increases, there may be a bash command to make words of a number, you can then add that to the filename | 10:04 |

| legend123 | Hi there. I have a old pc that doesn't support USB boot and it's DVD drive is broken. So only solution for me to install ubuntu on it is to take its hard drive to my new PC and install ubuntu on it there. My question is, if i put that hard disk back to my old pc again, will it cause any conficts since the drivers related to motherboard etc. were installed related to new pc? | 10:11 |
| Dr_Willis | niklas: normally you dont need any drivers. by 'in the start' you mean it worked on the live cd. but not the installed system? or did it work on the installed system, then stopped? | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip | legend123: do you have a floppy drive? | 10:11 |
| legend123 | nope | 10:12 |
| Dr_Willis | legend123: ive moved hd's befor. with vey few issues. HOWEVER. how old is that pc? does its cpu support PAE? thats needed by the newer releases of ubuntu | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip | legend123: you can install in one PC then transfer the drive over, that's very doable | 10:12 |
| niklas | In the start i ment after I installed the live CD, it worked for like 10 hours, but the next day (yesterday) it just stopped working | 10:12 |
| vlt | legend123: It should work. You might have to delete the persistent-net file in udev rules because your NIC’s MAC address is different. | 10:13 |

| Dr_Willis | legend123: ive never managed to wear out a usb yet.. and i use them a lot. | 10:23 |
| stlu | cfhowlett: recent hack? like a modification, or unauthorized alteration? | 10:24 |
| Dr_Willis | legend123: i do full normal installs to them and have yet to ware one out.. now WASH one out.. in my pants pocket. ;) done that befor.. | 10:24 |
| legend123 | heh great | 10:24 |
| Dr_Willis | legend123: I have 4gb usbs that are quite old and still working fine | 10:24 |
| oaulakh | Dr_Willis: how i compile c in geany? | 10:24 |
| Dr_Willis | legend123: plus - really. they are getting dirt cheap. | 10:24 |
| stlu | cfhowlett: because I only get logged out when I click "Submit new Thread" -- and therefore lose everything I wrote!!! | 10:24 |
| lkeijser | hi, I'm trying to install an ubuntu 1204 server via preseed and get a dependency problem. Apparently it asks for accountsservice 0.6.15-2ubuntu9.5 but I can't find this in any mirror ... | 10:25 |
| Dr_Willis | oaulakh: check its docs/help yet? I generally only code in perl these days (rarely any more at that) | 10:25 |
| lkeijser | how do I find out where (on which mirror) this package is? | 10:25 |
| cfhowlett | stlu, forums were hacked in June or July. Many users had to re-register. Try it. | 10:25 |
| oaulakh | ok | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | lkeijser: apt-cache policy packagename | 10:25 |
| legend123 | Dr_Willis: I think that live ubuntu USB drive doesn't constitute write/erase cycle unless its persistent. Am i right? | 10:25 |
| stlu | I DID re-register, I have a SSO, but t | 10:25 |
| stlu | I only stay logged in until I press "Submit new thread" | 10:26 |
| Dr_Willis | legend123: yep. you can still access/write to the fat32 part of th eusb if you wanted. | 10:26 |
| lkeijser | ActionParsnip: this is via preseed, so no apt-cache available | 10:26 |
| Dr_Willis | legend123: i even put swap on my USB ;) a big no-no.. and haven ruined one yet. | 10:26 |
| cfhowlett | stlu, OK. Don't know why it's doing that. try tomorrow. If still acting up, contact the forum teams | 10:26 |
| stlu | And a few weeks ago I DID make successful posts, this is a new problem this week, or maybe the past 30 minutes | 10:26 |
| Dr_Willis | legend123: but they are cheap. :) eveyr xmas the wife buys me a few more | 10:26 |
| varunendra | stlu, there is an "autosave" feature in the forum software. So you shouldn't loose anything you typed. | 10:27 |
| legend123 | lol | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | lkeijser: oic | 10:27 |
| varunendra | stlu, did your last post take more than two hours? Because 2 hrs. is the default timeout for the forum login. | 10:28 |
| stlu | heaven forbid, I would take 2 hours to write anything and have it lost... no, it was about 5-7 minutes. | 10:28 |
| Dr_Willis | more like.. you write 1 line.. then have to go cook supper for the kids.. then come back 2 hrs later. ;) | 10:29 |
| stlu | But whether its 5 minutes or 10 seconds, I only stay logged in until I press "submit new thread" because the header of the site has that "login with sso" button re-appear. | 10:29 |
| stlu | then I get a blank "vBulletin message" | 10:29 |
| varunendra | stlu, I take more than 2 very often (start a thread, go into research mode or afk) ;P | 10:29 |
| stlu | can anyone try? I see a post 8 mins ago in Absolute beginners, but I don't know about any newer posts. | 10:31 |
| varunendra | stlu, perhaps you should use "Contact Us" link at the bottom then, they'll sort it out for you. | 10:31 |
| === ghostcube_ is now known as ghostcube | ||
| varunendra | stlu, I posted 3-4 just now. Didn't try to start a thread though. | 10:31 |
| stlu | I am trying to start a thread, I could test posting, but if it works, I'd kind of derail the thread I picked. | 10:32 |
| surface-vermin | morning | 10:33 |
| varunendra | stlu, what you describe is an unusual problem. You should contact the admins | 10:33 |
| cfhowlett | surface-vermin, greetings | 10:33 |
| surface-vermin | i have question regarding a problem with a video card | 10:34 |
| stlu | varunendra: the auto-save feature DIDNT work, because i got logged-out upon pressing "submit new thread" Also, there is no "Contact US" at the bottom of ubuntuforums.org. | 10:34 |
| varunendra | stlu, did you see the orange bar at the bottom? This is the link btw - http://ubuntuforums.org/sendmessage.php | 10:35 |
| stlu | the last started post in Absolute beginners is now 55mins ago, the last response is 15 mins. I think new threads are broken for everyone. | 10:35 |
| surface-vermin | the question is more or less on how to report the issue, with the video card | 10:36 |
| cfhowlett | !details | 10:36 |
| ubottu | 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 ..." | 10:36 |
| salamandre43025 | Hi all, tried 12.04LTS on an HP TouchSmart. I got the boot logo then just a flashing cursor. Anyone have experience with the TouchSmart? | 10:36 |
| Dr_Willis | !nomodeset | salamandre43025 | 10:36 |
| ubottu | salamandre43025: 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 | 10:36 |
| surface-vermin | version 13.04 xserver-xorg-video-neomagic problem ever thing is green or because xorg pulls all package's it's no running said card | 10:37 |
| stlu | varunendra: the bottom orange bar has 1. combo box for vBulletin colours. 2. "ubuntu forums" main link. 3. "archive". 4. "Top" | 10:37 |
| surface-vermin | seems to be running maybe vesa | 10:37 |
| stlu | The contact us button is also missing. | 10:37 |
| varunendra | stlu, on the index page? It is showing here | 10:39 |
| stlu | I tried navigating to http://ubuntuforums.org/sendmessage.php | 10:39 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont see a contact us button either. but im not logged in | 10:39 |
| surface-vermin | ubottu should i add the parm to my boot anr try then report if changes work ? | 10:39 |
| ubottu | surface-vermin: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 10:39 |
| surface-vermin | and * | 10:39 |
| stlu | Dr_Willis: Oh crap, so I can't ask for help because I'm being logged-out.... because new threads are broken... | 10:39 |
| varunendra | stlu, didn't the send mail form open up for you? It does here. | 10:40 |
| Dr_Willis | stlu: i always use askubuntu.com these days. ;) | 10:40 |
| surface-vermin | didn't realize i was talking to a bot. | 10:40 |
| stlu | no I can't send for help because I keep getting logged out. | 10:40 |
| salamandre43025 | @ubottu: thanks. Even if you are a bot | 10:40 |
| Dr_Willis | surface-vermin: :) a Fembot even | 10:40 |
| surface-vermin | oh ! my | 10:41 |
| Techman | Hi. Can someone please tell me how to fetch a svn repository | 10:41 |
| surface-vermin | well ill use what the fem bot suggested them report back if nothing changes ? | 10:41 |
| Techman | I have all of the libsvn packages installed already. | 10:41 |
| Dr_Willis | surface-vermin: most likely you may need to install some video drivers. depending on your video chipset | 10:41 |
| varunendra | Dr_Willis, stlu wow! Just tried a different browser (to simulate logged off scenario), and I don't see the link or the form as well. Something is really broken | 10:42 |
| surface-vermin | the package is installed | 10:42 |
| Dr_Willis | varunendra: im using firefox here. with dozens of plugins/extensions. :) | 10:42 |
| stlu | Can somebody send a message or start a thread on my behalf? The email address associated with my account is <ajh8888@gmail.com> | 10:42 |
| varunendra | Dr_Willis, I'm logged in on chromium, tried ff as alternative. | 10:43 |
| stlu | That is, if it is proven that I'm the only one affected. | 10:43 |
| surface-vermin | but as i can tell it may not be configures correctly, i have also done a expert command line install and had a issue where my wouldn't start cause it couldn't find the module | 10:43 |
| stlu | last post in Absolute Beginners is now 1 hour old | 10:43 |
| surface-vermin | my equal's x server * | 10:44 |
| varunendra | stlu, although not a support channel, I think you can join #ubuntuforums and shout there. Maybe a mod/admin can hear.. | 10:44 |
| Dr_Willis | stlu: nothing on their twitter stream yet. :) | 10:45 |
| stlu | I will try #ubuntuforums, brb | 10:45 |
| Dr_Willis | if anyone still twits. ;P | 10:45 |
| tirengarfio | To track the position of my websites in Google I have purchased an app. Since I have a big list of keywords ("windows spain", "windows france"..), I have problems with those requests to get the position of the website, becasuse Google thinks Im a kind of spammer or bot.. To fix this and don't have more problems, the documentation of the app says:"Hide your IP address behind a proxy server (Preferences -> Proxy Settings) so | 10:45 |
| tirengarfio | the temporary block will no longer apply." What should I do exactly?? I dont have any idea.. | 10:45 |
| tirengarfio | Should I purchase something like this? https://getfoxyproxy.org/proxyservice/ | 10:47 |
| tirengarfio | Im lost.. | 10:47 |
| xanux | hello.. | 10:48 |
| surface-vermin | looking the Xorg log it fails to load the module | 10:49 |
| surface-vermin | in * | 10:49 |
| surface-vermin | well ill try what the fem bot told me and ill report back in a few | 10:50 |
| Dr_Willis | tirengarfio: theres dozens of proxy services you can hire/pay for by the month. Not really a ubuntu support topic. | 10:50 |
| xanux | how would i speed ubuntu up? | 10:51 |
| Dr_Willis | tirengarfio: or go cheap and use TOR | 10:51 |
| Dr_Willis | xanux: depends on what part of it is slow. | 10:51 |
| xanux | nothing really | 10:51 |
| xanux | i just wont more speed | 10:52 |
| Dr_Willis | BEST thing i ever did was switch to a SSD hard drive. ;) | 10:52 |
| Dr_Willis | worth all of the $100 ;P | 10:52 |
| xanux | i dont have lots of money | 10:52 |
| xanux | .. | 10:52 |
| Benkinooby | tirengarfio: maybe ask in ##networking | 10:52 |
| Benkinooby | or #network or however it is called | 10:52 |
| Benkinooby | xanux: so you want more speed by modifying the software/OS? | 10:53 |
| Dr_Willis | xanux: want more speed where exactly? i doubt if theres much you are gong to be able to tweek. theres a few tricks at the various blog sites like putting the browser cache in tmpfs and so forth. | 10:53 |
| xanux | thx | 10:54 |
| Benkinooby | xanux: apart from that - ssd will give you a noticeable boost as Dr_Willis said | 10:54 |
| sarkie | hi, I am looking for a good upnp server, mediatomb, ps3server, other? What's the de facto for ubuntu? | 10:54 |
| Benkinooby | xanux: what helped me a lot was to use a window manager instead of a fully blown desktop environment, and to use minimalist gtk-themes | 10:54 |
| xanux | ok | 10:55 |
| Benkinooby | xanux: but that will of course make your GUI look less fancy | 10:55 |
| Benkinooby | be warned ;) | 10:55 |
| xanux | fancy pants :D | 10:55 |
| Benkinooby | :) | 10:55 |
| Benkinooby | so what i use is fluxbox # kupfer | 10:56 |
| Benkinooby | # -> + | 10:56 |
| stlu | xanux: about the fasted you could "speed ubuntu up" would be to burn to a CD and drop it off a tall tower ;) | 10:56 |
| Benkinooby | but it's a quite specific setup - if you are used to gnome you'll have some trouble with it for a while | 10:56 |
| gordonjcp | sarkie: I use minidlna, which works, kinda | 10:57 |
| jeetpei | ActionParsnip: Thanks i found idea in #bash | 10:57 |
| Benkinooby | stlu: i heard that usb sticks are faster | 10:57 |
| gordonjcp | sarkie: every so often it freaks out and won't add new files | 10:57 |
| gordonjcp | sarkie: you need to periodically nuke its database and let it rebuild | 10:57 |
| sarkie | gordonjcp, perfect, do it do any fancy transcoding? | 10:57 |
| xanux | is there vb for linux? | 10:58 |
| Benkinooby | vb? | 10:58 |
| xanux | its a windows thing | 10:58 |
| xanux | :S | 10:58 |
| Benkinooby | virtual basic | 10:58 |
| xanux | yeah | 10:58 |
| Benkinooby | visual basic ? | 10:58 |
| xanux | yes thats it | 10:59 |
| xanux | my collage use it | 10:59 |
| xanux | i dont have any experience using it | 10:59 |
| Benkinooby | you can use wine | 10:59 |
| xanux | dunno | 10:59 |
| Dr_Willis | id suggest learning a better language | 10:59 |
| xanux | lol | 11:00 |
| xanux | i was learning shell for a while | 11:00 |
| Dr_Willis | you never finish learning the shell. ;) | 11:00 |
| === shashank_ is now known as shashank_rusty | ||
| xanux | :D | 11:00 |
| xanux | i do love shell | 11:00 |
| Dr_Willis | shell tip # 231 - renaming a lot of files. check out 'qmv' in the renameutils package. ;) | 11:01 |
| shashank_rusty | even if u finish learning ... u cant explore all shell functionalities | 11:01 |
| Dr_Willis | qmv -f do -e vim *.jpg | 11:01 |
| Dr_Willis | handy for bulk renameing | 11:01 |
| Benkinooby | do youself some good and learn c, c++, python or java ;) | 11:01 |
| Benkinooby | my opinion | 11:02 |
| xanux | its a good onew | 11:02 |
| Dr_Willis | learn regular expressions - The girls go crazy for a guy that can do a mean regular expression. | 11:02 |
| Benkinooby | lol | 11:02 |
| Dr_Willis | those things are like magical-voodoo | 11:02 |
| === ZIPY_ is now known as ZIPY | ||
| surface-vermin | so adding nomodeset to kernel does nothing | 11:03 |
| Dr_Willis | really impress people when you whip out a pattern that matches all phone numbers :) or other things | 11:03 |
| xanux | bye | 11:03 |
| Dr_Willis | surface-vermin: whats your video chipset? the installer cd worked? | 11:03 |
| Benkinooby | Dr_Willis: lol, you scared him | 11:03 |
| Benkinooby | XD | 11:03 |
| Dr_Willis | Benkinooby: we can replace him with a small regular expression now. | 11:04 |
| Aussie_matt | hi all. anyone here using ubuntu via crouton on the samsung chromebook? | 11:04 |
| surface-vermin | i using the system right now, the chip set is xserver-xorg-video-neomagic | 11:04 |
| === root is now known as Guest93858 | ||
| Dr_Willis | surface-vermin: using the system on what os? windows? some linux? | 11:04 |
| surface-vermin | lubuntu 13.04 also tried ubuntu 13.10 beta they all seem to be failling load module | 11:05 |
| surface-vermin | *to load | 11:05 |
| xanux | ubuntu battery drivers for laptops? | 11:05 |
| Dr_Willis | surface-vermin: so lubuntu worked. but ubuntu dosent.. that points to the drivers/chipset lacking proper 3d support | 11:05 |
| surface-vermin | no they seem to be jumping to vesa instead as a fallback | 11:06 |
| surface-vermin | in the ubuntu install's i only use command line install's | 11:06 |
| shashank_rusty | hi | 11:07 |
| surface-vermin | both 13.04 and 13.10 seem to be failling to load said module | 11:07 |
| surface-vermin | and i just tried putting nomodeset to kernel just now to which did no work | 11:07 |
| shashank_rusty | Ubuntu 12.04 is pretty good | 11:07 |
| surface-vermin | hello | 11:08 |
| xanux | on my desktop i have 8 cpus , could dedicate cpus to programs ? | 11:08 |
| Benkinooby | xanux: you don't want that | 11:08 |
| surface-vermin | only is the program supports hyper threading i think | 11:08 |
| Benkinooby | xanux: the OS can handle such things better than you ever can | 11:08 |
| Twicetimes | hi all. if i want to use ubuntu just to run a LAMP stack and SSH, should I be going for the desktop or server release? | 11:08 |
| shashank_rusty | xanux u can enable mpi and do that | 11:08 |
| surface-vermin | yeah the package is openmpi | 11:09 |
| Benkinooby | Twicetimes: better use server | 11:09 |
| xanux | ok thx | 11:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Twicetimes: if you ever want a gui. go desktop. if not you can use the server.if you want | 11:09 |
| Twicetimes | ok, cheers. so it's not a trivial matter to add a gui to the server version? | 11:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Twicetimes: assuming you do know how to admin via the command line | 11:09 |
| Benkinooby | Dr_Willis: server has no gui at all? not even window managr? | 11:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Twicetimes: if you want a gui. eaier t go with the desktop first | 11:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Benkinooby: no X at all.. = no gui | 11:09 |
| Twicetimes | ok, desktop it is. thanks | 11:09 |
| shashank_rusty | i want to create a system based installer for my web based application | 11:09 |
| Benkinooby | oh | 11:10 |
| surface-vermin | so really Dr_willis what i am asking is how to report this or if i am doing something wrong during the installation | 11:10 |
| shashank_rusty | hi | 11:10 |
| xanux | hi | 11:11 |
| shashank_rusty | xanux can you guide me in using this IRC | 11:11 |
| shashank_rusty | i am kinda new here | 11:11 |
| xanux | um i new too | 11:11 |
| xanux | lol | 11:11 |
| xanux | :D | 11:11 |
| shashank_rusty | LoLz ok | 11:11 |
| shashank_rusty | :-P | 11:11 |
| xanux | what help you need | 11:12 |
| xanux | ? | 11:12 |
| surface-vermin | also am i in the right channel to reprot the error ? | 11:12 |
| Extreminador | guys i create a bridge connection in my windows on the desktop beetween the router (with auto dhcp) and the laptop | 11:12 |
| surface-vermin | report * | 11:12 |
| Dr_Willis | surface-vermin: any askubuntu.com hits i find on neomagic are quite old. ;) | 11:12 |
| Dr_Willis | !bug | surface-vermin | 11:12 |
| ubottu | surface-vermin: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 11:12 |
| Extreminador | but for some reazon i can´t connect to it | 11:12 |
| shashank_rusty | actually i wanted to know how this stuff works | 11:12 |
| shashank_rusty | i am exploring on my own ! nevermind xanux ! | 11:12 |
| shashank_rusty | thanks ! | 11:13 |
| Dr_Willis | surface-vermin: id check the forums and askubuntu.com - that chipset seems to be a bit of fosssile. :P | 11:13 |
| shashank_rusty | :-) | 11:13 |
| xanux | whats best c++ or c | 11:13 |
| shashank_rusty | C is Ultimate | 11:13 |
| surface-vermin | it is | 11:13 |
| xanux | so fuck c++ | 11:13 |
| fudus | Python | 11:13 |
| Dr_Willis | xanux: go learn them both if you really want to code. | 11:13 |
| Benkinooby | noooooooooooooo! | 11:13 |
| fudus | Python > all | 11:13 |
| shashank_rusty | C++ is more OOPS oriented | 11:13 |
| Dr_Willis | and python, and perl, and rexx, and comal, | 11:13 |
| surface-vermin | but all distro's support the chip and i am sucker for antique's | 11:13 |
| shashank_rusty | Python is Better than C | 11:13 |
| surface-vermin | debian and arch work just fine | 11:14 |
| fudus | Yes | 11:14 |
| surface-vermin | i was going to try and see if 12.04 works | 11:14 |
| Dr_Willis | surface-vermin: check the versions of X and the kernel and the drivers they are using. so you can mention it in your bug reports | 11:14 |
| shashank_rusty | Dr_Willis in which language can i create a Installer Wizard with ease !? | 11:14 |
| Twicetimes | i haven't used a linux system in about 10 years. last experience was with redhat 4 or something. how alien is a standard ubuntu installation going to feel? | 11:14 |
| Dr_Willis | shashank_rusty: whatever one you know i imagine. | 11:14 |
| surface-vermin | do think trying 12.04 works and the filling a report should be the best plan of action ? | 11:15 |
| Dr_Willis | shashank_rusty: id say stick to the lowest common demonator. and use bash. ;) | 11:15 |
| surface-vermin | if it works ? | 11:15 |
| Dr_Willis | surface-vermin: if people dont file bugs - stuff dosent get fixed. or looked at. | 11:15 |
| shashank_rusty | ya as off now i have a Shell Script | 11:15 |
| surface-vermin | right | 11:15 |
| surface-vermin | i know it's why i am here | 11:15 |
| shashank_rusty | thinking of creating a GUI and with all GTK+ Qt and what not | 11:15 |
| xanux | is ubuntu secure from the box? | 11:16 |
| === faust is now known as Guest79263 | ||
| Benkinooby | xanux: i think c++ for starters is the best idea. c is quite raw and does not support all that object sutff as good as c++ does. and python is a cool language, but it is good to have the basics first with c++, otherwise you will misunderstand many things | 11:16 |
| Dr_Willis | xanux: pretty much. | 11:16 |
| Dr_Willis | http://pyweek.org/ python game of the week - :) fun to play with | 11:17 |
| Benkinooby | xobb: or, java - it is quite noob-friendly, i think/feel | 11:17 |
| Benkinooby | xanux: or, java - it is quite noob-friendly, i think/feel | 11:17 |
| jnhghy | I'm trying to use romanian characters with libre office writer, I've selected romanian as text language but still no ro characters, what else should I do? | 11:17 |
| Benkinooby | xobb: sorry, disregard that | 11:17 |
| surface-vermin | but i believe i used 12.04 on said chip set and it worked so... i was going to try a 12.04 install then see if it works if not file a report to see if during the upstream process , which i know nothing about. | 11:17 |
| fudus | jnhghy: have you set up the proper keyboard in keyboard layout? | 11:17 |
| fudus | (sorry if it that is too obvious) | 11:18 |
| xanux | did any one have the problem when programming they just dont know what to program ?? | 11:18 |
| Dr_Willis | bah - go learn scratch for programming.. ;) | 11:18 |
| jnhghy | fudus: don't think so...where can I access keyboard layout... | 11:18 |
| Dr_Willis | http://scratch.mit.edu/scratch_1.4/ | 11:18 |
| fudus | dash, type layout | 11:18 |
| surface-vermin | i mean to see if during the new package's in newer version are being compiles wrongly | 11:18 |
| jnhghy | I have gnome2 desktop ... no dash type :) | 11:18 |
| jnhghy | fudus: I have gnome2 desktop ... no dash type :) | 11:18 |
| Twicetimes | xanux: when i first started programming i'd always think of cool little projects to focus on, and always bite off more than i could chew | 11:18 |
| xanux | lol same here | 11:19 |
| fudus | somewhere in softwaer settings in admin then | 11:19 |
| Twicetimes | so, thinking of something really simple and keeping it that was is a good tip for beginners i'd say | 11:19 |

| Benkinooby | xanux: i'd recommend you to do something like Dr_Willis ... it's the same thing i do too... use your language to solve small taks or puzzles | 11:22 |
| Benkinooby | xanux: for example a sudoku solver | 11:22 |
| fudus | is it romanian keyboard layout? | 11:22 |

| fudus | + button, romanian has list | 11:22 |
| Twicetimes | yeah, little apps that help with some real life task are a good bet. don't have to have a flashy ui or anything | 11:23 |

| xanux | im off to cod | 11:23 |
| fudus | it has romanian keyboard layout for me? | 11:23 |
| Benkinooby | xanux: start with something, where simple command line in and output is sufficent | 11:23 |
| Benkinooby | xanux: and if you start, ask in the channels for the right way to start | 11:23 |
| Benkinooby | you will get lots of oppinions, but usually there is one or two standard books that will give you a good introduction | 11:24 |

| Benkinooby | Twicetimes: both | 11:30 |
| Twicetimes | cool | 11:30 |
| Benkinooby | Twicetimes: but you are only allowed to ask a noob question, when you asked a developer question before | 11:30 |

| Benkinooby | Twicetimes: i usully look up some bugs and randombly throw words i read there in here | 11:31 |
| Twicetimes | yeah. i totally pagefaulted my kernel cache. or something | 11:32 |
| Dr_Willis | just dont ask why theres no 'n' in the Unmount command. ;) | 11:32 |
| Benkinooby | by doing so you win twice: you sound like you ahve some kind of idea, and others get the chance to sound smart too | 11:32 |
| Benkinooby | if they find the bug you are using as source | 11:32 |
| Benkinooby | it's a bit like theatre: you open with a random quetion, and then others first try to guess what bug you are using, and once they found out, you and them will replay the whole bug | 11:33 |

| Rory | Extreminador: Can you ping the gateway IP? | 11:53 |
| Twicetimes | does default gateway basically mean 'any packets that aren't for IPs on this interface, send them there'? | 11:53 |
| Extreminador | humm let me check | 11:53 |

| ActionPa1snip | Extreminador: if you can't ping the gateway then that is why you get no connection | 11:55 |

| SoWhat | I made USB stick with ubuntu 13.4 | 12:43 |
| SoWhat | changed UEFI settings so my vivotab boots from it | 12:44 |
| SoWhat | but in the end it simply waits a bit longer and goes to WIndows boot manager | 12:44 |
| SoWhat | and tries to buut my damaged windoes 8 | 12:45 |

| SoWhat | I think that USB stick is okay, because if it doesn't have correct UEFI files on it, system doesn't offer a stick as a boot device | 12:47 |
| Rory | schnitzl: You need to edit ~/.bashrc it's different per user | 12:49 |
| schnitzl | well. this one was empty | 12:49 |
| schnitzl | so i just added a line. | 12:49 |
| Rory | schnitzl: OK, what I said is still true | 12:49 |
| schnitzl | still doesnt work :( | 12:49 |
| Pici | 70 | 12:49 |

| schnitzl | haha, got it. was my fault (ofc it was...!) | 12:51 |
| schnitzl | apperantly bash.rc is empty | 12:51 |
| schnitzl | but bashrc isnt | 12:51 |
| schnitzl | damnn | 12:51 |
| schnitzl | what is bash.rc for anyways, if its empty. :( | 12:51 |
| Rory | schnitzl: Nothing. you just made the file by trying to open a non-existant file | 12:52 |
| Rory | schnitzl: So it looked empty when you opened it | 12:52 |

| e-dard | Hi, I was configuring sshd to only use keys and I set usepam = no. For some reason this stopped on of the users on my system from being able to login over SSH. Wondered why this might be? | 13:03 |
| SoWhat | I noticed there is a blinking symbol _ in the top left corner of the screen when ubuntu is trying to boot and after 20 sec it goes either to UEFI settings of windows boot manager | 13:04 |
| SoWhat | * or | 13:04 |
| Daemonx | _ | 13:04 |
| Rory | SoWhat: That usually means the USB hasn't been created sucesfully. Try using a different tool like unetbootin or LiLiUSB, and format the flash drive as fat32 first | 13:04 |
| e-dard | Basically I disabled root loging, disabled password login, and all users can login fine with their keys. However if I add usepam to this one of the users can't lo in | 13:04 |
| SoWhat | okay, thanks Rory! I will try it on different machine | 13:05 |

| Rory | !uefi | SoWhat maybe info here | 13:10 |
| ubottu | SoWhat maybe info here: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 13:10 |

| e-dard | Rory: is it possible to allow services to open ports without having to set ufw? | 13:12 |
| Rory | e-dard: It's assumed if you have an application listening on a port, you don't want access to that port to be restricted by default | 13:12 |
| Rory | e-dard: What you just described is the default behaviour | 13:12 |
| e-dard | OK. So If I enable ufw, it's not like I lock myself out of machine (remote cloud server accessed by ssh) | 13:13 |
| e-dard | because SSH runs as a service | 13:13 |
| ikonia | you can lock yourself out of anything with a firewall | 13:13 |
| ikonia | it's up to you to have a clue of what you are doing and show some level of checking your own work | 13:13 |
| MonkeyDust | !ufw | e-dard start here | 13:14 |
| ubottu | e-dard start here: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as Gufw also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | 13:14 |
| e-dard | ikonia: I read somewhere you can setup ubuntu's firewall to automatically let services through | 13:14 |
| e-dard | I'm familiar with ufw | 13:14 |
| e-dard | I wondered if you can let services through automatically? | 13:14 |
| ikonia | e-dard: you can just set the default rule to "allow" | 13:15 |
| ikonia | that will let things through by default | 13:15 |
| ikonia | but that is unwise | 13:15 |
| e-dard | ikonia: indeed. That will let everything though | 13:15 |
| e-dard | I guess I have to just open up right ports for services | 13:15 |
| trijntje | is ndiswrapper broken on ubuntu 13.10? Whatever I do, I only get "Error: unable to find a version of ndiswrapper!" | 13:16 |
| Rory | trijntje: How did you install ndiswrapper? | 13:16 |
| trijntje | 13.04 I mean | 13:16 |
| Rory | !sudo | trijntje You may also have to run it using sudo | 13:16 |
| ubottu | trijntje You may also have to run it using sudo: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 13:16 |
| trijntje | Rory: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-dkms | 13:17 |
| trijntje | Rory: running it with sudo makes no difference | 13:17 |
| Rory | trijntje: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 | 13:18 |
| ihre | clear | 13:19 |
| trijntje | Rory: thanks, that fixed it. Why is utils not a dependency of ndiswrapper-common if you cant do anything without it? | 13:20 |
| Rory | trijntje: because ndiswrapper-common is just libraries and things. Where told you to install that? | 13:21 |
| trijntje | Rory: the guide i'm following to get my wireless to work. It said I needed -common and -dkms | 13:23 |

| mydog2 | got a ssh priv/pub key issue... | 14:07 |
| Rory | Could you elaborate, mydog2 ? | 14:07 |
| mydog2 | i've pasted to http://fpaste.org/41553/ << | 14:07 |
| mydog2 | Rory, - i know.. it's a fedora paste.. but old habits!! | 14:07 |
| mydog2 | but here's the issue... | 14:08 |
| mydog2 | pub/priv key testing, using the config file | 14:08 |
| Rory | mydog2: is your private key in /home/foo/id_rsa_foo ? by default it would be in /home/foo/.ssh/id_rsa | 14:08 |
| Rory | mydog2: also it looks like it's trying to connect to port 50122, check your config file to make sure that's what you actually want | 14:09 |
| NikP | ActionPa1snip: OK, I'll be there in a few minutes... | 14:09 |
| Rory | mydog2: ssh usually runs on port 22, and does by default | 14:09 |
| mydog2 | however, when i ssh into a ssh domain that's not in the config file, it appears that ssh/config file is trying to redirect what's on the commandline to the config file hostname/domain | 14:09 |
| Pricey | mydog2: Begin with a 'Host' section, indent anything belonging to that by a couple of spaces | 14:09 |
| Pricey | mydog2: e.g. http://fpaste.org/41555/99454111/ | 14:10 |
| Rory | mydog2: Pricey is correct, your ssh config file is set to apply to ALL ssh connections | 14:10 |
| Pricey | The indenting isn't required... but'll make life easier reading. | 14:10 |
| mydog2 | Pricey, - ok.. how to change the config file to just apply to the 5.18 | 14:11 |
| Pricey | mydog2: "'Host' Restricts the following declarations (up to the next Host keyword) to be only for those hosts that match one of the patterns given after the keyword." | 14:11 |
| Pricey | mydog2: See my example paste :) | 14:11 |
| mydog2 | Pricey, -ohh.. so it was host.. not hostname!!!! | 14:11 |
| mydog2 | doah! let em try,,, | 14:11 |
| Rory | mydog2: hostname is valid | 14:11 |
| mydog2 | jesus..!! | 14:11 |
| Pricey | mydog2: Yep. They mean different things. "man 5 ssh_config" | 14:12 |
| mydog2 | Pricey, - i had looked at that for a bit.. just went right over it!! thanks man... the little things... | 14:13 |
| mydog2 | 'ppreciate it! | 14:13 |

| zetheroo | I have been trying for many moons now to do some pretty basic video editing in Ubuntu and am getting absolutely nowhere!! I am using RecordMyDesktop to record a simple slideshow of images - this then ends up as an ogv file - I then import that file into OpenShot and cut a piece out - then it all goes to hell! The video frames are all out of sync etc ... | 15:21 |
| zetheroo | I have tried converting to AVI using WinFF which just ruins the quality ... | 15:21 |
| zetheroo | I uploaded the file to YouTube and then downloaded it as an mp4 - the video was still crisp but same issue when editing in OpenShot | 15:22 |
| zetheroo | Do I have to go get a Mac in order to do this simple task?! | 15:23 |
| yeats | root32: I wasn't asking what you typed, I was trying to see if your hostname is properly set in /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts | 15:23 |
| yeats | root32: and why would you be installing/reinstalling dpkg? | 15:24 |

| ActionPa1snip | zetheroo: tried a different desktop recording app? Or set record my desktop to record straight to avi etc? | 15:25 |
| yeats | tirengarfio: try going to Displays and see the Launcher Placement setting | 15:25 |
| zetheroo | BluesKaj: playback not the issue ... VLC, Xine, Movie Player ... no diff | 15:25 |
| zetheroo | ActionPa1snip: Avidemux can't even begin to handle mp4 or ogv ... | 15:26 |
| mn3na3a | question: guys does installing a lot of apps in ubuntu slows the system down? | 15:26 |
| zetheroo | ActionPa1snip: have not found any way to change the default video format of RMD | 15:27 |
| yeats | mn3na3a: depends on the apps and when/whether they are running simultaneously | 15:27 |

| yeats | root32: did you install bootchart yet as ubottu suggested to you above? | 15:27 |
| zetheroo | BluesKaj: !? | 15:28 |
| root32 | yeats: how to install it ? | 15:28 |
| mn3na3a | no i mean installing only for example if i have 200 apps installed does this affect the system? | 15:28 |
| yeats | !bootchart | root32 | 15:28 |
| ubottu | root32: bootchart charts your machine at boot time, to install >> sudo apt-get install bootchart << the graphic is in /var/log/bootchart after the next reboot | 15:28 |
| BluesKaj | DRM , digital rights management | 15:28 |
| zetheroo | BluesKaj: I know what DRM means ... but why are you bringing it up!? | 15:28 |
| BluesKaj | ok zetheroo nm , I'm obviously out of the loop info-wise on this one | 15:29 |

| django | i have the .bin files, how to convert it to disk image (.iso ) files ? | 15:32 |
| ikonia | django: you don't | 15:33 |
| ikonia | django: unless it's an iso that's been renamed | 15:33 |
| django | no no, i have to compile an os from source code | 15:33 |
| django | no no, i have to compile an os from source code | 15:33 |
| ikonia | django: ok, go on then | 15:33 |
| ikonia | that's nothing to do with ubuntu/this channel | 15:34 |
| django | plz guide how to run it in virtual box ? | 15:34 |
| ikonia | run what ? | 15:34 |
| Giant81 | I have a question. I use linux quite a bit at home, and I seutp my brother with Ubuntu 12.04 for his desktop. If he had problems, any easy way to get in and remote manage it? | 15:34 |
| django | the os executable | 15:34 |
| ikonia | django: it's a binary file, you execute it | 15:34 |
| yeats | Giant81: ssh? | 15:34 |
| django | i am asking how to package it into iso ? | 15:34 |
| Giant81 | without having him have to setup a NAT | 15:35 |
| django | so that we can supply it to a vm | 15:35 |
| ikonia | django: you don't | 15:35 |
| django | y ? | 15:35 |
| ikonia | django: you'd need to extract it onto an iso file system | 15:35 |
| ikonia | django: it's a binary file - not an iso file | 15:35 |
| Giant81 | I love ssh, but not sure how I get into his box with ssh from remote without a nat setup | 15:35 |
| Giant81 | any way to do a reverse ssh session he initiates on his end and I can get into his box? | 15:36 |
| ikonia | Giant81: no | 15:36 |
| * Giant81 goes to check gotoassist | 15:36 | |
| Giant81 | I know we use gotoassist at work, do they have a linux client? | 15:36 |
| OerHeks | django, a .bin is a binairy file, an executable file. if this is part of your OS, we don't know. | 15:36 |
| ikonia | Giant81: ask them | 15:36 |
| django | it is the os | 15:36 |
| yeats | Giant81: routers usually allow port forwarding - I forward a nonstandard port on my public IP to ssh on one of my hosts in the LAN | 15:36 |
| django | not a part of it | 15:36 |
| ikonia | django: ok, so then it's up to you how you do it | 15:37 |
| ikonia | django: sadly, it's nothing to do with this channel/ubuntu | 15:37 |
| OerHeks | django so if it is an OS, it is not ubuntu. you might want to ask their support channel or forum? | 15:37 |
| Giant81 | yeats, oh I know, I'm a network engineer, and I may just do that for him next time I'm there, I just don't see him being able to loginto his router and set it up himself | 15:37 |
| yeats | Giant81: understood | 15:37 |
| django | Ok, here is the situation >> I have written a basic kernel in C, now i want its iso disk image | 15:37 |
| ikonia | django: then do it | 15:38 |
| ikonia | django: make an iso file system - but it on, done | 15:38 |
| django | how to ? | 15:38 |
| django | give any utils | 15:38 |
| ikonia | django: this is nothing to do with ubuntu | 15:38 |
| ikonia | django: I think you need to research it | 15:38 |
| Rory | !ot | django | 15:38 |
| ubottu | django: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 15:38 |

| * Giant81 wishes his bother had an ASA, I'd just setup an ssl vpn into his network, then I can connect to that then ssh into his box without allowing the ssh port to sit open on the internet :) but we work with what we have | 15:38 | |
| ikonia | django: yes, and telling you how to build your own kernel boot iso is nothing to do with ubuntu | 15:39 |
| zetheroo | Thankfully I have my ol' Win XP VM to do some video editing on :P | 15:44 |

| zetheroo | varunendra: I had used AVS on it before ... | 15:46 |
| zetheroo | just updating it now ... | 15:46 |
| bariho | does rsync work well over curlftpfs? are there ftp clients, that have rsync-like behavior? | 15:46 |
| varunendra | zetheroo, AVS? Abbrevation to actually some other name? | 15:47 |
| varunendra | zetheroo, the only AVS I remember is Avid Video Studio, which is overkill for a simple cut/slice | 15:48 |

| varunendra | schnitzl, so what is the problem in adding "cd <location of the .exe>" before the line in rc.local? | 15:58 |
| UserName | It is strange because the swap partition remains functional on reboot. | 15:59 |
| varunendra | UserName, and when does it recognizes it? | 15:59 |
| varunendra | recognize* | 15:59 |
| schnitzl | so you mean...: "cd /usr/share/openra/ && start.sh" | 15:59 |
| UserName | varunendra: After I delete the swap partition, and reboot and then format it to swap partition again. | 15:59 |
| schnitzl | this should execute start.sh in /usr/share/openra/ | 15:59 |
| schnitzl | right? | 15:59 |
| varunendra | schnitzl, if the .exe is in that directory, then yes | 16:00 |

| varunendra | oaulakh, what folder? What is your objective. Providing details may get you some help | 16:07 |
| UserName | varunendra: Yes, I have been thinking, maybe it's because of the Secure Boot feature? Then again, changing of UUID doesn't quite seem legit. | 16:07 |
| zykotick9 | UserName: a suggestion = when you mkswap you can assign a LABEL, then use a LABEL in fstab rather then UUID... | 16:07 |

| Forsevin | oaulakh, ok... | 16:09 |
| Forsevin | oaulakh, is there a problem doing so? | 16:09 |
| varunendra | oaulakh, I have never tried that myself. Are you sure just copying the folder will add the theme? | 16:10 |
| oaulakh | yeah its shows me "cp: cannot stat ‘Nord’: No such file or directory" | 16:10 |
| p5yx | yeats: i didn't add anything, just copied the bashrc from /etc/skel/.bashrc | 16:10 |
| oaulakh | yeah its shows me "cp: cannot stat ‘Nord’: No such file or directory" | 16:11 |
| Forsevin | oaulakh, there's obviously something you're doing wrong here. | 16:11 |
| varunendra | oaulakh, you can open the file manager with root access, then simply copy --> browse to /usr/share/themes --> paste it. | 16:12 |
| oaulakh | then please tell me what i'm doing wrong here? | 16:12 |
| yeats | p5yx: can you pastebin your ~/.bashrc? | 16:12 |
| Forsevin | oaulakh, It's hard saying, make sure the file actually existing, $ ls? | 16:12 |
| oaulakh | how to open file manager with root aceess | 16:12 |
| varunendra | oaulakh, are you using Nautilus (default Ubuntu file manager)? | 16:12 |
| Forsevin | sudo <your filemanager> | 16:12 |

| varunendra | Forsevin, gksu | 16:13 |
| zykotick9 | Forsevin: NO! don't use sudo with GUI apps! it's important. see "/msg ubottu gksudo" for details why. | 16:13 |
| oaulakh | yes file is there man | 16:13 |
| p5yx | yeats: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6146138/ | 16:13 |
| Forsevin | zykotick9 Guess you always learn something new, never given me any problems however. | 16:13 |
| varunendra | oaulakh, is it default Ubuntu? Or something else (xubuntu, lubuntu...) | 16:14 |
| varunendra | Forsevin, it's just a bad practice | 16:14 |
| zykotick9 | p5yx: you have line 78, for the ls color alias (which is there by default) | 16:14 |
| oaulakh | yeah i'm using default ubuntu file manager 13.04 | 16:14 |
| Forsevin | oaulakh, how do you attempt copying the file? | 16:15 |
| varunendra | oaulakh, then press Alt+F2 --> type "gksu nautilus" --> press Enter | 16:15 |
| oaulakh | ok | 16:16 |
| varunendra | oaulakh, be VERY CAREFUL when you are running the file manager as root. Don't do anything other than what you have opened it for | 16:16 |
| yeats | p5yx: hmm - that works fine for me | 16:16 |
| p5yx | zykotick9: ehm i know but it doesn't work... | 16:16 |
| p5yx | yeats: i'll reboot | 16:17 |
| zykotick9 | p5yx: if you type "alias" do you see it? what terminal are you using? | 16:17 |
| yeats | p5yx: '. ~/.bashrc' should do it | 16:17 |
| NeoKarna | varunendra, there's a big article explaining why you shouldn't use gksu, but it is easier for newbies | 16:17 |
| p5yx | zykotick9: just tty right now... | 16:17 |
| zykotick9 | yeats: does . work the same as source? | 16:17 |

| varunendra | oaulakh, didn't the file manager open? | 16:18 |
| zykotick9 | p5yx: console, hummm. colour certainly works for me? well, good luck. | 16:18 |

| p5yx | zykotick9: thx | 16:18 |
| oaulakh | its not opening | 16:18 |
| varunendra | NeoKarna, gksu or sudo? | 16:18 |
| zykotick9 | p5yx: root is different, no colour by default. DON'T USE ROOT LOGIN. | 16:18 |
| NeoKarna | varunendra, gksu ;) | 16:19 |
| varunendra | oaulakh, please show us exactly what you typed in the "Alt+F2" box | 16:19 |
| varunendra | NeoKarna, link please? | 16:19 |
| oaulakh | gksu nautilus | 16:19 |
| p5yx | zykotick9: why not? | 16:19 |
| p5yx | zykotick9: you're not talking about security reasons here are you? | 16:20 |
| zykotick9 | p5yx: do you want colour? if so, then log in as a user. | 16:20 |
| zykotick9 | p5yx: ubuntu was designed to NOT use root account. see "/msg ubottu notroot" for details. | 16:20 |
| oaulakh | varunendra, gksu nautilus | 16:20 |
| NeoKarna | varunendra, sorry got that wrong, it was sudo ;) | 16:20 |
| varunendra | oaulakh, I read somewhere that gksu is not installed by default in 13.04, maybe it's true. Try "gksudo nautilus" instead | 16:20 |
| p5yx | zykotick9: i'm using it in qemu for developing purposes. | 16:21 |
| varunendra | NewWeek, the psychocat tutorials ? :P | 16:21 |
| p5yx | zykotick9: therefore i need root access | 16:21 |
| NeoKarna | oaulakh, varunendra gksudo always works with me | 16:21 |
| zykotick9 | varunendra: fyi, gksudo is actually just an alias of gksu ;) can't have one without the other. | 16:21 |
| p5yx | zykotick9: why shouldn't colors work for root? | 16:21 |
| oaulakh | its open thanks | 16:21 |
| p5yx | zykotick9: if i type in ls --color it works without any problem. | 16:21 |

| NeoKarna | oaulakh, where is your nord folder ? | 16:23 |
| varunendra | oaulakh, just right-click in the themes folder (any blank area inside the folder). Do you see "Create New Folder" option enabled? | 16:23 |
| oaulakh | in download folder | 16:24 |
| varunendra | oaulakh, could you browse to it? | 16:24 |
| NeoKarna | oaulakh, please follow these steps: | 16:25 |
| oaulakh | ok | 16:25 |
| oaulakh | tell me | 16:25 |
| varunendra | oaulakh, if you copied it in the normal mode, it is not in 'Your' clipboard at present. You have to copy it from 'This' file manager | 16:25 |
| NeoKarna | oaulakh, 1. open a terminal | 16:25 |
| oaulakh | ok | 16:25 |
| oaulakh | then | 16:25 |
| varunendra | :P | 16:25 |
| NeoKarna | oaulakh, 2.type "gksudo nautilus" | 16:25 |
| p5yx | hm ok i got it just in case someone is interessted. moving .bashrc to /etc/bash.bashrc fixed the problem for the root user | 16:25 |
| NeoKarna | oaulakh, hit enter and type your password | 16:26 |
| oaulakh | command not found | 16:26 |
| NeoKarna | oaulakh, then "sudo apt-get install gksudo" | 16:27 |
| oaulakh | ok | 16:27 |
| oaulakh | its installed then | 16:27 |
| zykotick9 | NeoKarna: gksudo is in the gksu package! oaulakh | 16:28 |
| varunendra | looks like it is "gksu" NeoKarna | 16:28 |
| varunendra | ^^ ;P | 16:28 |
| oaulakh | its installed then | 16:28 |
| oaulakh | its open root file manager | 16:28 |
| fahadash | Is there anything we can do about this burgundy/maroon background in ubuntu? Its so uncool | 16:28 |
| oaulakh | yes its man | 16:29 |
| varunendra | oaulakh, what opened root file manager? Did you already install it and run "gksu nautilus"? | 16:29 |
| oaulakh | yes its done man | 16:29 |
| MonkeyDust | fahadash you can change the !theme, or just the background colour | 16:29 |
| NeoKarna | oaulakh, then go to filesystem-> home->"folder with your username" -> Downloads-> Copy the folder again | 16:29 |
| oaulakh | thanks very much | 16:29 |
| fahadash | MonkeyDust: It appears at the startup welcome screen, can we change that ? | 16:30 |
| NeoKarna | varunendra, gksu and gksudo are same atleast in ubuntu ;) | 16:30 |
| varunendra | oaulakh, close all instances of root file manager as soon as you are done. Enjoy :) | 16:30 |
| oaulakh | now where i see my new theme that i recently paste | 16:30 |
| oaulakh | to apply | 16:30 |
| oaulakh | yeah i closed man | 16:30 |
| fahadash | My wallpapere is not the same size as screen, so that color appears on the sides; | 16:30 |
| pmenon | hey folks, adobe acrobat prints a multi-page pdf on a single page .. any idea how to solve ? | 16:30 |
| varunendra | NeoKarna, but the package names are apparently not | 16:31 |
| NeoKarna | oaulakh, you would probably get that in system settings-> appearance-> select the theme | 16:31 |
| fahadash | Who chose that maroon color to be background ? | 16:31 |
| oaulakh | it does not show me that theme | 16:32 |
| MonkeyDust | fahadash i guess ubuntu-tweak let's you change the login background http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ | 16:32 |
| NeoKarna | varunendra, gksudo is just a symbolic link to gksu http://askubuntu.com/questions/21033/what-is-the-difference-between-gksudo-and-gksu | 16:32 |
| fahadash | MonkeyDust: Is it hard to do ? | 16:32 |
| varunendra | oaulakh, you may have to log off, then re-login | 16:32 |
| oaulakh | ok | 16:32 |
| MonkeyDust | fahadash explore ubuntu-tweak a bit | 16:32 |
| oaulakh | well try | 16:32 |
| bariho | is there something like rsync, that works well over ftp? mirroring, basically. a gui ftp client that can do that would be nice. | 16:33 |
| varunendra | NeoKarna, yes I know that (now), I was talking about the package name (to be used with "apt-get install..") | 16:33 |
| MonkeyDust | bariho there's grsync | 16:33 |
| NeoKarna | varunendra, ;) | 16:33 |
| fahadash | MonkeyDust: Thanks | 16:33 |
| oaulakh | it still showing nothing new | 16:34 |
| NeoKarna | oaulakh, also paste the theme folder in .themes folder which is a hidden folder (Ctrl +h to show hidden folder) in home | 16:34 |
| oaulakh | ok | 16:34 |
| varunendra | oaulakh, did you follow some tutorial? Like I said before, I've never tried this myself, so not sure if just copying the folder will be all. | 16:35 |
| === ceco_ is now known as vyrgozunqk | ||
| NeoKarna | oaulakh, if .themes is not present create it | 16:35 |
| oaulakh | yeah i create iit and paste theme in it | 16:36 |
| oaulakh | then? | 16:36 |
| NeoKarna | oaulakh, if you still can't see the theme in appearance, let me know | 16:37 |

| chaotic_good | can I run windows 2012 on KVM? or XEN? what is that command to check if my cpu is KVM friendly? | 16:40 |
| Fudus | or gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme "CoolestThemeOnEarth" | 16:40 |
| Fudus | change CoolestTheme to name of the folder you put in .themes | 16:40 |
| zykotick9 | chaotic_good: cat /proc/cpuinfo | egrep '(vmx|svm)' | 16:41 |
| compdoc | chaotic_good, try the command: kvm-ok | 16:41 |
| NeoKarna | oaulakh, also remember that not all themes work well under unity. Be careful, installing themes are risky. Also be careful with ubuntu tweak. | 16:41 |
| oaulakh | okkk thanks | 16:42 |
| NeoKarna | oaulakh, :) | 16:43 |
| oaulakh | NeoKarna, ;) | 16:43 |
| Fudus | oaulakh: you can use gsettings directly without needed to instead tweak | 16:44 |
| NeoKarna | Fudus, wow I didn't know about gsettings. I've used ubuntu tweak and myunity(not available for 13.04 :(). Thanks for mentioning it. | 16:46 |

| NeoKarna | MonkeyDust, Ubuntu Tweak Tool is not like MyUnity of 12.04 or 12.10. It looks different. | 16:51 |

| CountryfiedLinux | Will all apps that work on Ubuntu also work on Ubuntu Touch? And if not yet, is that what the new package format will be all about? | 17:19 |
| reisio | CountryfiedLinux: not all, but most, technically | 17:19 |
| CountryfiedLinux | reisio, Like Kdenlive for video editing and pavucontrol and ffmpeg, stuff like that? | 17:20 |
| reisio | CountryfiedLinux: what format are you talking about, though? :) | 17:20 |
| CountryfiedLinux | reisio, The new Ubuntu package format coming out for 13.10 touch and 14.10 desktop. | 17:21 |
| reisio | CountryfiedLinux: the primary limiting factor will be things that aren't readily built on arm | 17:21 |
| reisio | CountryfiedLinux: which is called? | 17:21 |
| CountryfiedLinux | reisio, I forgot | 17:21 |
| reisio | this? https://click-package.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ | 17:21 |
| reisio | that doesn't seem like a new format so much as a modified version of the existing format | 17:22 |
| reisio | but it's impossible to tell from this vague propaganda | 17:22 |
| LordAioria | one question .. i have installed jailkit, i have created a user into jailkit ... then i have tried to enter with this user using SSH and i received this error : ERROR: failed to execute shell /bin/bash for user XXXX check the permissions and libraries of /opt/jail//bin/bash . i see that at my folder /opt/jail there isn't any bin folder... i have used jk_cp -v -f /opt/jail /bin/bash | 17:23 |
| CountryfiedLinux | reisio, well new something to make it easier for devs to make apps for Ubuntu. | 17:23 |
| LordAioria | now i can enter with my user using SSH but ... when i have tried to use a LS command it says : not command found .. | 17:24 |
| reisio | CountryfiedLinux: I don't know about that, it's probably intended to make it "easier" for people to think of .deb's as something like .apk's | 17:24 |
| LordAioria | how can i solve this situation? i saw that into /opt/jail there isn't any opt folder | 17:24 |
| CountryfiedLinux | Here it is http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20130909#news | 17:24 |
| daftykins | LordAioria: are you sure BASH is supposed to remain as the default shell for whatever you're trying to do? surely there's documentation for whatever you're using | 17:24 |
| CountryfiedLinux | reisio, ^ | 17:24 |
| CountryfiedLinux | click packages | 17:24 |
| LordAioria | [daftykins] i was following this guide: http://www.binarytides.com/setup-a-jail-shell-with-jailkit-on-ubuntu/ | 17:25 |
| reisio | CountryfiedLinux: sounds like it's intended for rudimentary "apps" of the sort people like for phones | 17:26 |
| reisio | like angry birds and todo lists | 17:26 |
| LordAioria | but following it ... i have this situation | 17:26 |
| reisio | terrible name, click packages | 17:26 |
| reisio | sounds like an awful reinterpretation of .bin's | 17:26 |
| CountryfiedLinux | Well names for Ubuntu stuff tend to be terrible haha | 17:26 |
| reisio | AKA random unmanaged installers like on Windows | 17:27 |
| reisio | anyways | 17:27 |
| CountryfiedLinux | I dunno | 17:27 |
| reisio | like I said, the major limiting factor will be the arm arch, vs x86/etc. | 17:27 |
| reisio | most software is portable across all, and has already been ported | 17:27 |
| reisio | some isn't | 17:27 |
| jophish_ | Yo yo yo | 17:28 |

| reisio | LordAioria: rssh kind of does that | 17:29 |
| LordAioria | i will search for it | 17:30 |

| chemicalrage | I am trying to dual boot Windows 8 and Ubuntu 12.04 on a HP laptop. What should I choose as the bootloader | 17:39 |
| eb0t | agreed hio...at least yours works ...poor eeos had to throw his wireless card in the fecking bin | 17:40 |
| chemicalrage | theres a 199MB system partition | 17:40 |
| chemicalrage | and a C drive which was used to install windows 8 | 17:40 |
| Benkinooby | chemicalrage: grub - the windows boot loader will not recognize ubuntu. but you have to mind UEFI | 17:40 |
| swcdx | hi, is there a samba check list for ubuntu? I have tried everything and even mimicked another share. it's still telling me access denied under windows. I have it set to guest okay and my permissions on the share are at 777. any suggestions? TY | 17:40 |
| chemicalrage | Yup, the grub | 17:40 |
| chemicalrage | where does it belong | 17:41 |
| chemicalrage | in the system partition or C drive | 17:41 |
| Impossible | where do i find peerguardian build dependencies on ubuntu | 17:41 |
| Benkinooby | chemicalrage: no, it belongs to the master boot record | 17:41 |
| chemicalrage | The thing is I am trying to use 3 partitions - 1 for root, 1 for home and 1 for swap | 17:42 |

| chemicalrage | To ask my doubt | 17:48 |
| g105b | Can anyone help me work out where to start debugging why my laptop insists of hanging for 5-10 seconds every so often? It only happens in Ubuntu, it's a really new laptop. | 17:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Djones : so it's not wholly bad | 17:48 |
| loss | g105b, tail -f /var/log/syslog | 17:48 |
| Benkinooby | chemicalrage: ok - so usually ou want to install it on /dev/sdX | 17:49 |
| ActionParsnip | G105b: check ram using Memtest86 from Grub | 17:49 |
| Benkinooby | chemicalrage: no numbers at the end | 17:49 |
| chemicalrage | ok | 17:49 |
| chemicalrage | what exactly is the 199MB system partition | 17:49 |
| Benkinooby | chemicalrage: if there is only sdX it means the MDR of that hard disk. if there is a number, like sdX2 it means the second partition | 17:49 |
| g105b | My initial idea is that the hang is something todo with the hard drive ... happens when I'm torrenting or saving large photographs in gimp. | 17:49 |
| deepblue | http://mibpaste.com/f0IjmS , i wanna delete thid line : Windows NT/2000/XP (loader) on /dev/sda1 | 17:49 |

| Benkinooby | deepblue: why do you want to delete it? | 17:51 |
| deepblue | <Benkinooby>it's not working | 17:51 |

| chemicalrage | thanks lemme chk it out | 17:52 |
| deepblue | Benkinooby: yep | 17:52 |
| reisio | chemicalrage: basically it's just a Microsoft oddity without EFI, and with EFI it doubles as the EFI partition, AIUI | 17:52 |
| chemicalrage | So thats not the bootloader? | 17:52 |
| Benkinooby | deepblue: well then i guess you want to make it work again, instead of removing it, no? | 17:52 |
| deepblue | Benkinooby: i mean no | 17:52 |
| reisio | sometimes they also double as rescue partitions | 17:52 |
| reisio | chemicalrage: partitions aren't boot loaders, sometimes they hold them, however | 17:53 |

| chemicalrage | via cmd or anythign? | 17:53 |
| reisio | chemicalrage: in the first partition | 17:53 |
| deepblue | Benkinooby: in /dev/sdb1 | 17:54 |
| chemicalrage | just a sec I ll send u a screenshot | 17:54 |
| Benkinooby | chemicalrage: think of it this ways: you have the BOOT MANAGER in the MASTERBOOTRECORD. that manager then chooses the BOOTLOADER. usually the boot loader is also placed in or close to the master boot record. but its also common to place the boot loader of each specific OS in the start of the partition of that OS. | 17:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Chemicalrage: sudo update-grub ,may show the Windows version | 17:54 |
| Benkinooby | chemicalrage: power on -> boot manager -> boot loader -> operating system | 17:55 |

| wilee-nilee | deepblue, I would only be concerned that W7 and the old XP are intertwined windows tends to do this, so that you have some Bcd for W7 is in sda1, we can look at it with a script and tell. | 18:05 |

| Te3-BloodyIron | ActionParsnip: I don't have something in place, I just don't see why anyone would use Likewise instead of Samba/Kerberos/Winbind | 18:07 |

| Te3-BloodyIron | yet all the guides i find are for the open version, as in non enterprise | 18:15 |

| Eduard_Munteanu | Say I want to install and configure Ubuntu once, then replicate it on different machines. Is there some way to "refresh" a system after I install the clone, like say regenerate ssh keys and filesystem UUIDs. | 19:18 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Erm, that was a question. :) | 19:19 |
| Benkinooby | Eduard_Munteanu: make a little bash script? | 19:19 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Benkinooby: that's what I'm trying to avoid, I'm looking for a generic and already-done thing. | 19:20 |
| Benkinooby | Eduard_Munteanu: also as far as i know you can set up a server to serve out the correct stuff to each machines | 19:20 |
| Benkinooby | Eduard_Munteanu: so it will boot ofer lan (PXE) and automatically draw the correct image / setting | 19:21 |
| Rory | kristal: I know, right? I looked at Gnash in something like 2006 and it *sucked* - glad to see it actually can be used now in the real world! | 19:21 |

| TJ- | With Unity on 13.04 how can it be stopped from auto-re-opening an LVM VG that is manually closed? | 19:21 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Benkinooby: MAAS or stuff like cobbler? Yeah, but I don't have a master server available right now. | 19:21 |
| Benkinooby | Eduard_Munteanu: how many computers are you speaking of? | 19:21 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Benkinooby: around 25 | 19:22 |

| badass | can anyone assist me with setting up postfix via webmin? | 19:24 |
| badass | I'm having trouble authenticating with smtp remotely | 19:24 |
| wilee-nilee | TJ-, waht exactly is "LVM VG" | 19:25 |
| Benkinooby | Eduard_Munteanu: make one of them your cobbler server. OR, use a live system on them anyway | 19:25 |
| TJ- | wilee-nilee: No, I'm currently building a whole-disk encryption USB flash device, and each time I do "vgchange -an $VG" something in Unity/Nautilus immediately auto-reopens the VG and enumerates the LVs! | 19:26 |
| TJ- | wilee-nilee: I tried disabling the dconf automount options for media but that isn't it | 19:26 |
| Benkinooby | Eduard_Munteanu: get a live system, remaster it, and use it. it will have many advantages too | 19:26 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Benkinooby: I can't really do that, there's no other (usable) computer to act as a server locally. | 19:26 |
| Benkinooby | Eduard_Munteanu: e.g. you can make it read only after the remaster, so security will be better | 19:26 |
| TJ- | wilee-nilee: LVM VG is Logical Volume Management, Volume Group. The container for LVs (Logical Volumes) | 19:27 |

| TJ- | wilee-nilee: I've watched the logs, nothing showing up to give a clue as to which process is doing it although I suspect gvfs | 19:27 |
| Benkinooby | Eduard_Munteanu: how do you feel about remastered life system | 19:27 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Benkinooby: you mean preconfiguring a server then cloning it? Yeah, that's what I've done so far. | 19:28 |
| Benkinooby | Eduard_Munteanu: other than [1] scripts, [2] cobbler and alike [3] remastered life system i am out of ideas | 19:28 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Benkinooby: oh, you mean live as in live cd? | 19:28 |
| Benkinooby | Eduard_Munteanu: cloning a server? | 19:28 |
| TJ- | Eduard_Munteanu: Are you trying to set up a TFTP server for PXE boots? You could use a VM with dnsmasq and tftp-hpa / tftpd | 19:28 |

| Eduard_Munteanu | TJ-: no, not really | 19:29 |
| Benkinooby | Eduard_Munteanu: yes, live as in live CD | 19:29 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Benkinooby: that seems difficult to customize for this purpose, lemme think | 19:29 |
| designbybeck___ | My Notification area always posts shows old content...like days later I see it pop up in the HUD. Not sure why it does that? Can I just turn it off? | 19:30 |
| Benkinooby | Eduard_Munteanu: well, you can do it on an usb-stick. then custiomize as you want it. and then reporduce that usb stick 25 times and mount it at the target machines as read only | 19:30 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Benkinooby: I can make it a partition, I need persistent settings and data. | 19:31 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Partition on an internal HDD. | 19:31 |
| Benkinooby | Eduard_Munteanu: sure. you can make 2 partiton on it or on internal hdd | 19:31 |
| Benkinooby | Eduard_Munteanu: you can also install that live system as a live system(!) on the hdds - no need for usb-sticks | 19:32 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Yeah, that's what I meant. | 19:32 |
| Benkinooby | Eduard_Munteanu: although using a live system might be some kind of over-kill | 19:33 |
| Benkinooby | Eduard_Munteanu: maybe you also askin #debian for ideas? | 19:33 |
| Lorra | Hi everybody, tonight I was happily using fluxbox when pixels started falling like snowflakes on my screen and I had to restart my computer in order for this to stop. I use lightdm as a login manager, but it wouldn't stop there either. Does anybody have a clue of what can this be due to? | 19:33 |
| lolfunnygai | Hai. There's an envelope beside my clock on the top of the screen. It annoys me, since I don't use it. How can I get rid of it? | 19:33 |
| Benkinooby | Lorra: can you show us a screenshot? | 19:34 |
| Benkinooby | Eduard_Munteanu: are those computers also connected via network? | 19:34 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Hm, I don't remember asking the same question in #debian, I did ask about automated installs. | 19:35 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Benkinooby: yes, not the same LAN segment though. | 19:35 |
| Lorra | Benkinooby, I've restarted my computer, now it's gone | 19:35 |

| sas12 | hello | 19:35 |
| sas12 | guys i cant buy something from humblebundles | 19:36 |
| Benkinooby | Eduard_Munteanu: can you access them via ssh, or put them in a vpn or so? how ill you manage them? | 19:36 |
| sas12 | i need help. can gift natural selection 2 | 19:36 |
| Lorra | Benkinooby, it never happened to me so far though, have been using various linuxes for almost 8 years now | 19:36 |
| Benkinooby | Lorra: maybe it was a screensaver? | 19:36 |
| Benkinooby | Lorra: iirc there is a "pixels falling down" screensaver | 19:36 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Benkinooby: yeah, I do have SSH access, there's a single server giving them files as well. | 19:36 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | *and there's a | 19:37 |
| wilee-nilee | Lorra, There are effects in compiz which will do this, but fluxbox would not be using compiz, unless you have set it up. | 19:37 |
| Lorra | Benkinooby, no, it wasn't, it would stop when I move my mouse otherwise, asking for password. | 19:37 |
| Benkinooby | Eduard_Munteanu: and you can't use that server for network setup? | 19:37 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Benkinooby: it's not on the same LAN physically, so PXE wouldn't work. | 19:37 |
| Lorra | wilee-nilee, I don't use compiz... | 19:38 |
| Benkinooby | Eduard_Munteanu: oh yes, sorry forgot | 19:38 |
| wilee-nilee | Lorra, I figured that with fluxbox, just commenting. | 19:38 |
| Benkinooby | Eduard_Munteanu: i think in that case a live system probably is a good guess - but maybe there are more professional solutions | 19:38 |
| === lolfunnygai is now known as miss_lolfunny | ||
| Benkinooby | Eduard_Munteanu: just make a live system on a usbstick. modify it as you need it. and the clone the usbstick - or the hdds, as you like | 19:39 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Benkinooby: well actually there are two separate problems: (1) installing the system, and (2) (re)configuring it. | 19:40 |
| Benkinooby | Eduard_Munteanu: the advantage of live systems is (when done correctly), that they also cut down logging and stuff that might cause truoble (not enough space and such) | 19:40 |
| miss_lolfunny | how does apt-get remove differ from apt-get purge? | 19:40 |
| Benkinooby | Eduard_Munteanu: well, these computers. are the allready in their locations? | 19:40 |
| zykotick9 | miss_lolfunny: purge removes teh config files in /etc | 19:40 |

| miss_lolfunny | I just uninstalled indicator-messages.. what did I just uninstall? | 19:42 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Benkinooby: still, if I preconfigure one in a VM, I have to (1) clone it, which is easy, and (2) refresh SSH keys, set up networking etc. | 19:42 |
| miss_lolfunny | I did that to get rid of the envelope beside the clock panel | 19:42 |
| Benkinooby | Eduard_Munteanu: i think a script will be the easiest way | 19:43 |
| trism | miss_lolfunny: that's what it is, although you'll likely have to log out/back in to see it removed | 19:43 |
| TJ- | Eduard_Munteanu: You're trying to install multiple identical systems, is that it? (I missed your original question) | 19:43 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | TJ-: yes | 19:43 |
| Ben64 | miss_lolfunny: you shouldn't remove things that you don't know what they are/do, you can break your system | 19:43 |
| miss_lolfunny | k thanks trism lol | 19:43 |
| miss_lolfunny | Ben64: that's how you learn :) | 19:43 |
| TJ- | Eduard_Munteanu: Have you looked at creating a custom seed? see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeedManagement | 19:43 |

| eZtaR | Hey guys | 19:46 |
| Benkinooby | bye Eduard_Munteanu good luck!" | 19:49 |
| eZtaR | I have an external drive (~2 TB) filled with goodies, which i want to convert to ext4 from ntfs. Problem is that I can't just format it without losing all my data, and I don't have a spare linux machine laying around for the copy. Any pointers? | 19:49 |
| miss_lolfunny | do you use flash? Btw, shouldn't youtube support html5 videos? | 19:51 |
| FireBeard | hello | 19:51 |
| miss_lolfunny | HELLO, LOL HI FireBeard!1 | 19:51 |
| polter | eZtaR: I would just keep it NTFS. Is there a particular reason for formatting it ext4? | 19:51 |
| compdoc | eZtaR, might be worth getting a 2nd drive | 19:51 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | eZtaR: what goodies? If they're movies or porn you can download them again later. :) | 19:52 |
| eZtaR | polter -> Yeah, ntfs-3g uses about 50% cpu on my rpi | 19:52 |
| FireBeard | hey, I have 2 12.04 installs, and they both refuse to display a 24 hour clock | 19:52 |
| polter | eZtaR: fair enough ;) | 19:52 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | If it's compressible then you might be able to transfer it to a smaller drive. | 19:52 |
| TJ- | eZtaR: shrink the NTFS partition to remove all free space, then create a new partition and make an LVM physical volume. Add that PV to a Volume Group, then create a Logical Volume and format it ext4. Copy all (or some) of the NTFS into the ext4 the, if necessary, again shrink the NTFS, create a new partition to hold the the newly released space, make that partition a PV, add that PV to the VG, and then extend the LV to use the new PV... etc | 19:52 |
| eZtaR | TJ- -> Thanks man, hadn't thought about that :) | 19:52 |
| TJ- | eZtaR: s/Copy/Move/ of course... so you release space on the NTFS as you move the files to the ext4 | 19:53 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Not sure if that's been automated, it would suck to do manually if you have little free space. | 19:53 |
| TJ- | eZtaR: If you've got a spare USB flash device you could use it to shuttle more data out of the NTFS in one pass | 19:54 |
| eZtaR | Eduard_Munteanu: From my recent google history it hasn't been automated yet, but i see a lot of potential users for such an app ;) | 19:54 |
| FireBeard | janeks991: wow, lots of you ! | 19:55 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | eZtaR: the easiest way is to get a backup drive, it's convenient for multiple purposes. | 19:55 |
| javatexan | hey all | 19:55 |
| eZtaR | TJ-: Yeah, I might just have to install ubuntu on my desktop pc and try to move some data around | 19:55 |
| eZtaR | Thanks guys, my mind's been fried over this, might be time for bed xD | 19:55 |
| MsSayian | where does the configuration settings for the network manager get stored. I.e if i configure a network through the gui, where do these settings get stored. | 19:56 |

| eZtaR | TJ-: True :) | 19:56 |
| javatexan | having trouble with mac laptop overheating with fans pegged at 6200rpm (seems to be ceiling). Is there a way to force processor not to use turbo mode? I assume that would be hottest thing other than say the video card...right? | 19:56 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | javatexan: if it's a BIOS option | 19:57 |
| TJ- | MsSayian: /etc/NetworkManager/ for system settings | 19:57 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | javatexan: I'm not sure if cpufreq can control that | 19:58 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | It might work to scale down the frequency. | 19:58 |
| MsSayian | Thanks TJ | 19:58 |
| eZtaR | Well I'm off, thanks again guys :) | 19:58 |

| _name | TJ-: yes i see the actual grub menu | 21:06 |
| _name | TJ-: tried the recovery but it didnt work | 21:06 |
| BluesKaj | _name, ok at grub , choose the recovery kernel , and once the dialog comes up choose "repair broken packages" or something similar | 21:06 |

| _name | TJ- yea saw some stuff, looked normal to me | 21:07 |
| TJ- | ice9: Ubuntu has its own display server, Mir, which is the default from 13.10 unless proprietary graphics drivers are selected, when it uses X | 21:07 |
| === jje is now known as Guest61044 | ||
| BluesKaj | ice9, it won't , but Kubuntu is looking to use Wayland | 21:08 |
| TJ- | _name: OK, then it should reach the recovery menu with options such as "root shell" - is that what you saw? | 21:08 |
| ice9 | TJ-, BluesKaj so Kubuntu will be different from Ubuntu? each will use different display server? | 21:08 |
| _name | TJ-: yep | 21:08 |

| teknix_ | How can I uninstall? | 21:11 |
| TJ- | _name: OK, if you can get the root shell you can check the system logs in /var/log/ - I'd be looking at kern.log, syslog, and if there is one, Xorg.0.log for clues. Look at the entries matching the time of the *failed* boot since they will also contain the current session too, of course | 21:11 |

| bekks | hugok: Yes, both. First create a filesystem, then format it. | 21:13 |
| _name | TJ-: should i get on my liveusb and put those on pastebin? | 21:13 |
| bekks | hugok: Yes, both. First create a partition for a filesystem, then format it. | 21:14 |
| hugok | bekks, is there a terminal command for that? | 21:14 |
| hugok | the make fileystem? | 21:14 |
| bekks | hugok: mkfs | 21:14 |
| hugok | bekks, thanks | 21:14 |
| TJ- | _name: It'd be better to be selective by looking for warnings and errors and things that just don't seem right, compared to earlier logs, and selectively investigate any that you find. | 21:15 |
| hugok | bekks, is 'make new partition table' under gparted the same thing? | 21:16 |
| bekks | hugok: No. That creates a new partition table, not a filesystem. | 21:16 |
| hugok | bekks, ok | 21:16 |

| Eren97 | lolfunnygai still in the setup xD | 21:25 |
| k1l | lolfunnygai: maybe just no one cared, no one did the work, there are depencies not met, ... there could be a lot of reasons. most time ubuntu doesnt get new versions (besides security and bug fixes) after release | 21:26 |
| lolfunnygai | Eren97: that's where you set it up, in the setup. There will be an option for your keyboard language etc | 21:26 |
| lolfunnygai | k1l: so the way to go, is to download the updates yourself? | 21:26 |
| lolfunnygai | I thought apt-get is the way you SHOULd install them :P | 21:26 |
| k1l | lolfunnygai: the question is: do you neeed the update? | 21:27 |
| Eren97 | lolfunnygai yea after the location selection xD | 21:27 |
| k1l | lolfunnygai: and dont tell me: "its newer" | 21:27 |

| Sameh | K1l. I did that but didn't help and have me glx missing display 0:0 .. I don't know that why? Some applications depending on display stopped working | 21:39 |
| k1l | lolfunnygai: alot of PPAs brings alot of risk that things break | 21:40 |
| lolfunnygai | k1l: how come? | 21:40 |
| k1l | Sameh: that sounds like you installed some driver from another origin or have PPAs enabled which cause trouble now | 21:40 |
| lolfunnygai | I suppose your repository is where you get your software automatically updated? | 21:40 |
| k1l | lolfunnygai: because of depencies | 21:41 |
| lolfunnygai | ah | 21:41 |
| kostkon | lolfunnygai, if you add official project ppas that at most provide one or two packages then it should be fine | 21:41 |
| kostkon | lolfunnygai, e.g. wine ppa, etc | 21:41 |
| lolfunnygai | but adding, say, gentoos repository would most certainly mess things up? | 21:41 |
| k1l | lolfunnygai: the standard ubuntu repos are tested against each other. but if you add a PPA with a newer version the maintainer has to make sure it doesnt interfer with the original repos | 21:41 |

| MoPac | chamunks: tcpdump maybe? | 22:01 |
| chamunks | I'll do some googling thanks MoPac | 22:01 |
| Sheila | MoPac : can you help me | 22:02 |
| MoPac | jrib: I had a script install a suite of programs, and it suggested that I export a pythonpath to a folder under 2.7 before running them. I think my failure to do this might be a reason why I can't seem to call the scripts from bash | 22:02 |
| jrib | MoPac: what script? What suite of programs? | 22:03 |
| MoPac | jrib: The script is at http://www.sbrac.org/files/build-gnuradio | 22:03 |
| MoPac | jrib: search the code for the words "you should probably set" | 22:03 |
| MoPac | Sheila: I don't know if I can help you; what is your question? | 22:04 |
| jrib | MoPac: gnuradio seems to be in the repositories; why not use the packages in the repositories/ | 22:04 |
| Sheila | how i can delete all sub folder and files in main folder ? | 22:04 |
| Sheila | and leaving the main folder empty with same name | 22:04 |
| jrib | Sheila: select them all, right click, delete | 22:04 |
| Sheila | i use CLI | 22:04 |
| MoPac | jrib: The script-built and git-hosted versions are more up-to-date and also easier to mess with | 22:05 |
| jrib | Sheila: why do you want to do this? | 22:05 |
| jrib | Sheila: what are you deleting exactly? | 22:05 |
| Sheila | all sub folder and files located in folder | 22:05 |
| MoPac | jrib: Sheila: from within a folder, would " rmdir -r * " work for that? | 22:05 |
| jrib | MoPac: apparently not :P Anyway, you can put PYTHONPATH in ~/.pam_environment. Or if you need some bashish things, use ~/.profile | 22:06 |

| lolfunnygai | wilee-nilee: no, but I will now :) | 22:17 |
| lolfunnygai | I suppose | 22:17 |
| wilee-nilee | why not eh | 22:17 |
| lolfunnygai | so, when there's a new ubuntu version out, does "apt-get upgrade" install that too? | 22:17 |
| jrib | lolfunnygai: no | 22:17 |
| wilee-nilee | iShotz, That wiki had many options, they do not all go together is all, most here will not wade through all of it. | 22:18 |
| iShotz | Screw this, im re installing again | 22:18 |
| Dr_Willis | lolfunnygai: upgrade - ONLY upgrades to the latest packages in the current 'release' | 22:18 |
| jrib | Sheila: if you don't answer questions, we can't help you | 22:18 |
| wilee-nilee | iShotz, when you do a frsh install does it work fine? | 22:18 |
| lolfunnygai | so when I want the newest ubuntu, I'll have to get the .iso image and upgrade my system from there? | 22:18 |
| iShotz | Yeah fresh install have no issues | 22:18 |
| Dr_Willis | lolfunnygai: do-release-upgrade can go to the next released version | 22:18 |
| halk | lolfunnygai: that's do-release-upgrade to go to a new full version | 22:18 |
| Dr_Willis | lolfunnygai: so thats a no also. ;) | 22:19 |
| iShotz | Its only after i installed these drivers | 22:19 |
| wilee-nilee | iShotz, I would stick with that then. | 22:19 |
| iShotz | But i need these drivers for my games | 22:19 |
| kostkon | lolfunnygai, just use the updater | 22:19 |
| k1l | !upgrade | lolfunnygai | 22:19 |
| ubottu | lolfunnygai: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 22:19 |
| lolfunnygai | lol, k | 22:19 |
| iShotz | Aka steam | 22:19 |
| lolfunnygai | thnk | 22:19 |
| wilee-nilee | iShotz, You want the drivers from the ubuntu repos is all, for best use. I would talk with the channel before you mess with the drivers in lieu of doing changes is all for steam. | 22:20 |
| iShotz | Also, good news netflix users | 22:20 |
| iShotz | Ok wil | 22:20 |
| iShotz | I talked to their live chat and i convinced them to move to HTML 5 | 22:21 |
| kostkon | iShotz, old newzz | 22:21 |
| iShotz | Srsly | 22:21 |
| Dr_Willis | ill belive it when i see it. | 22:21 |
| iShotz | Appantly im down for beta testing | 22:21 |
| wilee-nilee | !cookie | iShotz for convincing netflix | 22:21 |
| ubottu | iShotz for convincing netflix: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 22:21 |
| wilee-nilee | ;) | 22:22 |
| ice9 | how to create bootable Ubuntu USB with GUID partition table to boot on Macbook? | 22:22 |
| iShotz | I nagged them about html5 a few months back | 22:22 |
| halk | Any idea why an internal modem would stop working in Ubuntu 13.04 vs 12.04? | 22:22 |
| iShotz | So yey | 22:22 |
| halk | It's a Search Results MultiTech MT9234ZPX-UPCI | 22:22 |
| iShotz | Now all i need is native support on adobe and autodesk stuff | 22:22 |
| kostkon | iShotz, will neven happen | 22:23 |
| kostkon | never* | 22:23 |
| iShotz | Also, you dudes heard of SteamOS? | 22:23 |
| kostkon | y | 22:23 |
| lolfunnygai | but if I upgrade, will the repositories that I've added in my repository list file (something like "deb http://winehq.org RELEASENAME something"), change to the releasename to the name of my upgraded release? | 22:23 |
| iShotz | kostkon: i can dream | 22:23 |
| kostkon | iShotz, ubuntu 12.04 based | 22:23 |
| iShotz | I figured it'd be Ubuntu based | 22:24 |
| k1l | lolfunnygai: yes, the updater does that. but the question is, if the repository got packages for that new release. | 22:25 |
| lolfunnygai | ah | 22:26 |
| lolfunnygai | it seems that wine's PPA only had 1.4.1 (the newest is 1.7) for my release | 22:26 |
| k1l | lolfunnygai: well, more accurate. it will disable the non origin repos to make sure the upgrade doesnt get in trouble because of faulty non origin packages | 22:26 |
| kostkon | lolfunnygai, the updater will update and then disable any 3rd party repos before proceeding | 22:26 |
| lolfunnygai | but that's not really a concern, is it? | 22:26 |
| k1l | lolfunnygai: dont get on the "the latest is the best" train | 22:27 |
| kostkon | lolfunnygai, oyu can enable them yourself afterwards | 22:27 |
| lolfunnygai | k1l: hmm... really? | 22:27 |
| k1l | thats why i asked: do you really need the latest version. | 22:27 |
| lolfunnygai | nah, but in my experience they're often nicer from a user experience perspective, and usability perspective | 22:27 |
| k1l | and from the "it will brake my installation" perspective? | 22:28 |
| k1l | *break | 22:28 |
| halk | k1l: when you jump from an LTS to another, you break EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE! | 22:29 |
| halk | I've done that, once... | 22:29 |
| kostkon | halk, ?? | 22:29 |
| halk | At least, when you upgrade every 6 months / 1 year, you don't have to repair everything all at once. | 22:29 |
| k1l | halk: worked for me several times. just yesterday | 22:29 |
| halk | kostkon: when you run many services, they tend to break (incompatible configuration files) | 22:30 |
| lolfunnygai | hmm, I see. And this is due to how the OS eco system works? | 22:30 |
| kostkon | halk, that's another story i guess | 22:30 |
| lolfunnygai | eh, open source eco system | 22:30 |
| lolfunnygai | and in this case, ubuntu in particular | 22:30 |
| kostkon | lolfunnygai, what exactly? | 22:31 |
| lolfunnygai | kostkon: that things break | 22:31 |
| kostkon | halk, my lts -> lts upgrades were successful | 22:31 |
| lolfunnygai | if you compare it to windows, everybody gets the same updates from microsoft. | 22:31 |
| kostkon | lolfunnygai, not it's not normal. upgrades, in any OS, can fail sometimes | 22:31 |
| kostkon | lolfunnygai, what do you mean | 22:32 |
| qwebirc29536 | if you don't use many PPAs related to low-level components of your OS, then they should be mostly reliable with minor issues (upgrading) | 22:32 |
| k1l | even upgrades on windows machines can break. that is not the point. in general lts to lts upgrade work | 22:32 |
| SolarAquarion | how do I properly build packages for ubuntu? | 22:32 |
| halk | kostkon: the upgrade itself works, the services don't | 22:32 |
| kostkon | lolfunnygai, in ubuntu everyone gets the same updates from canonical | 22:32 |
| halk | kostkon: for example, right now my fax service is down because the OS doesn't talk to the modem PCI card... | 22:32 |
| lolfunnygai | kostkon: I mean that the compability of software on linux systems are much more complex than that on windows | 22:33 |
| SolarAquarion | i mean packaging sofware | 22:33 |
| gordonjcp | halk: good | 22:33 |
| gordonjcp | halk: fax machines need to die | 22:33 |
| k1l | halk: that could be because of the new drivers in new kernels. | 22:33 |
| gordonjcp | !packaging | SolarAquarion | 22:33 |
| ubottu | SolarAquarion: The packaging guide is at http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/ - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports and !sponsoring | 22:33 |
| lolfunnygai | halk: yes, but canonical get their "system critical" packages from a lot of places | 22:34 |
| gordonjcp | lolfunnygai: no, all the Ubuntu packages come from the Ubuntu servers | 22:34 |
| lolfunnygai | in windows, a program might just be dependent on what service pack you've installed. In linux, it depends on what version of a lot of dependencies that you've got | 22:34 |
| halk | gordonjcp: lolfunnygai is correct, all the free software comes from all over the place | 22:34 |
| lolfunnygai | gordonjcp: the ubuntu servers gets some of it from github | 22:34 |
| halk | k1l: yes, I am thinking that the "Exar Corp. XR17C/D152 Dual PCI UART (rev 02) (prog-if 02 [16550])" has changed and was hoping someone here would know something about it | 22:35 |
| lolfunnygai | halk: which makes it all more complex. Upgrading one package might break package A but fix package B (which in turn might mean compability issues for C) | 22:36 |
| gordonjcp | halk: right, but the packages all come from *one* place | 22:36 |
| gordonjcp | lolfunnygai: and? | 22:36 |
| Pici | *packages* | 22:36 |
| k1l | halk: besides ranting and flaming you should actually give a proper issue explanation with details. so people can help | 22:36 |
| gordonjcp | lolfunnygai: the *packages* are all from one source | 22:36 |
| halk | gordonjcp: yeah, although you could be using PPA packages and even Debian packages... | 22:36 |
| gordonjcp | halk: right, but it's not advisable to use Debian packages | 22:37 |
| halk | (as in packages that were compiled for Debian opposed to Ubuntu itself) | 22:37 |
| lolfunnygai | my point was just that, that's the reason why you can't always have the lastest version of everything that easy. | 22:37 |
| gordonjcp | lolfunnygai: yes | 22:37 |
| gordonjcp | lolfunnygai: it does take time to package stuff up | 22:37 |
| gordonjcp | lolfunnygai: you could use Arch Linux, where everything is so new that half the time it doesn't work properly ;-) | 22:37 |
| halk | lolfunnygai: I am aware of those problems... I wrote wpkg so I could manage packages under MS-Windows... http://windowspackager.org/ | 22:38 |
| zykotick9 | halk: fyi, mixing packages from different distros is a TERRIBLE idea. | 22:38 |
| gordonjcp | halk: oh, like using dpkg but for Windows? | 22:39 |
| Dr_Willis | even mixing from differnt releases - is a nasty idea | 22:39 |
| === BTCOxygen|1 is now known as BTCOxygen | ||
| halk | gordonjcp: some companies have no idea Linux exists... | 22:39 |
| gordonjcp | halk: <shrug> | 22:39 |
| OerHeks | Best advise is to use backports or even more kinky proposed ubuntu-repo | 22:39 |
| lolfunnygai | it's just quite interesting how a huge amount of different "unrelated modular programmers" can combine their work like that. | 22:39 |
| gordonjcp | halk: I must admit, I don't really know how packages work in Windows, or how to install stuff | 22:40 |

| Achilles` | Hi all, | 22:49 |
| kamiyuh | hullo | 22:49 |
| Achilles` | Any Ptrace gurus around? | 22:49 |
| lolfunnygai | what do you guys think about flash? | 22:54 |
| lolfunnygai | needed? (I know it's a "dumb" question) | 22:54 |
| lolfunnygai | but perhaps you have some nice philosophy behind your choise | 22:55 |
| Hodapp | I think Flash needs to die in a fire. | 22:55 |
| wilee-nilee | !ot | 22:55 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 22:55 |
| StarFlower | when I look at the files in my folders there is always text overlaying the bottom file, is there a way to turn that off | 22:55 |
| lolfunnygai | on an ubuntu system that is, is it useful? My question is really: how can you watch youtube on ubuntu without it? do you need it? | 22:56 |
| Achilles` | No one familiar with Ptrace around then? | 22:56 |
| Hodapp | lolfunnygai: You can watch youtube videos with youtube-dl or various other programs without needing Flash. You can watch them in the browser (for the most part) with HTML5 - though the ads are not HTML5, and you'll need Chrome/Chromium to get H264 video support for HTML5. | 22:56 |
| Territoriojoven | WHY is the wubi for lubuntu taking 2 hours after download!? | 22:57 |
| Hodapp | lolfunnygai: I'm on Arch, not Ubuntu, but I've not installed Flash on this box, and I've encountered very few sites that insist on Flash for their video. | 22:57 |
| yeats | Achilles`: you'll probably get farther by asking your actual question | 22:57 |
| lolfunnygai | but ubuntu seems to require it. | 22:58 |
| Achilles` | ah makes sense…. well, here's my problem. | 22:58 |
| lolfunnygai | but I've ff 24.0, it should support html5 | 22:58 |
| StarFlower | Does anyone know if theres a way to turn off the text that covers the bottom files in the file manager | 22:58 |
| Hodapp | lolfunnygai: It's not whether it supports HTML5 or not, it's that it doesn't do all the codecs required. | 22:58 |
| Hodapp | lolfunnygai: go to youtube.com/html5 (I think) and it will show you. | 22:58 |
| Hodapp | lolfunnygai: there might be ways to hack Firefox into doing H264, but I've never tried; Chrome can do it just fine. | 22:59 |
| Territoriojoven | <Territoriojoven> WHY is the wubi for lubuntu taking 2 hours after download!? | 22:59 |
| lolfunnygai | ah, non-free codec | 22:59 |
| lolfunnygai | is it specifically firefox, or just not my system that supports it? | 23:00 |
| lolfunnygai | (ubuntu of course) | 23:00 |
| Achilles` | I want to stop a forked child (PTRACE_TRACEME).. then do some set up in the parent process before I unblock the child (execev) to continue. How do I make the child continue ONLY after a certain point in my code, after I have finished all my set up… I don't want to Single Step or anything… I just want to collect some performance data on the forked child. | 23:00 |
| Hodapp | lolfunnygai: It's Firefox + Linux. | 23:00 |
| Achilles` | Trouble is… I don't know how to make it continue after that certain point. | 23:00 |
| utusan | I'd rather have flash than M$ silverlight | 23:00 |
| lolfunnygai | silverlight, ugh | 23:01 |
| lolfunnygai | it's forced upon you, but not useful for you | 23:01 |
| lolfunnygai | sorry, ot though | 23:01 |
| Hodapp | utusan: Flash certainly gets you further, than the approximately zero sites that use solely Silverlight. | 23:01 |
| utusan | Hodapp: there are sites that force you to have silverlight | 23:02 |
| Hodapp | utusan: They're very few. | 23:02 |
| lolfunnygai | and they use silverlight not because it's useful, but because they're forced to when they use certain MS publishing tools | 23:02 |
| Hodapp | utusan: The only one I'm aware of is Netflix. | 23:02 |
| Hodapp | and even they relax that rule for some clients. | 23:02 |
| Achilles` | Anyone? | 23:02 |
| jake | Hi | 23:02 |
| halk | Achiles: signal STOP | 23:02 |
| utusan | Hodapp: true very few but not zero as you claimed | 23:02 |
| === jake is now known as Guest3171 | ||
| halk | Achiles: then later signal CONT | 23:03 |
| Guest3171 | I just installed Xubuntu 13.04 | 23:03 |
| Nothing_Much | Who uses Silverlight anymore? MS is pulling the plug on it too from what I've heard. | 23:03 |
| Ulfalizer | i tried to install a 32-bit version of SDL on my amd64 install, and apt decided to remove a whole bunch of critical packages. looks like i'm currently without a window manager. any tips for getting it back? :P | 23:03 |
| Hodapp | utusan: I said approximately zero. Compared to the number of sites using Flash, it is. | 23:03 |
| Ulfalizer | ought to be a package for it... | 23:03 |
| Nothing_Much | Ulfalizer, the window manager? | 23:03 |
| Nothing_Much | it should be compiz | 23:03 |
| Hodapp | which is probably part of why MS is shitcanning it. | 23:03 |
| Guest3171 | However, there's something labelled UDF Volume on the desktop, even though I didn't create any seperate partitions | 23:03 |
| Ulfalizer | ok, let's see if i can get another terminal up... | 23:04 |
| Nothing_Much | hang on Ulfalizer You're using Ubuntu right? | 23:04 |
| Ulfalizer | yup | 23:04 |
| Achilles` | @halk I tried CONT, somehow the parents get blocked I think till the child can finish… which is not what I had in mind. | 23:04 |

| Nothing_Much | Alright, it's compiz, if you used a different DE it would've been different | 23:04 |
| lolfunnygai | hmmm... I suppose my system is somewhat respects my privacy right now (it's a fresh install). But of what I've heard, google | 23:04 |
| Ulfalizer | Nothing_Much: sudo apt-get install compiz? | 23:04 |
| Nothing_Much | Ulfalizer, yes | 23:04 |
| Ulfalizer | not sure if that's what i'm currently missing, but the windows have no chrome at least | 23:04 |
| Nothing_Much | it's that and try unity as well | 23:04 |
| halk | Achiles: there is no reason why the parent would hang at that time, these are just signals... | 23:05 |
| Ulfalizer | ok, thanks | 23:05 |
| === neo is now known as Guest19572 | ||
| Nothing_Much | which version of Ubuntu btw? | 23:05 |
| Achilles` | @halk Thanks man… let me give it another try and see if it works. | 23:05 |
| Ulfalizer | Nothing_Much: 13.02 | 23:05 |
| Nothing_Much | Ulfalizer, do 'sudo apt-get install unity' first | 23:06 |
| Nothing_Much | that should give you the proper dependencies for Ubuntu back | 23:06 |
| Nothing_Much | at least for the window manager | 23:06 |
| lolfunnygai | I don't know how much of a ubuntu question this is. Now, I suppose my system is somewhat respects my privacy right now (it's a fresh install). But of what I've heard, google's gmail app "hacked" the iOS sandbox and placed privacy intruding cookies in the safari browser. If I install chrome, will my overall system privacy be compromiced by them? | 23:06 |
| Ulfalizer | did them in the opposite order. seems to have worked though. :) | 23:06 |
| Ulfalizer | thanks! | 23:06 |

| Guest3171 | http://imgur.com/pQhbnHX,ncjGPv5 | 23:06 |
| Nothing_Much | not a problem Ulfalizer | 23:07 |
| Guest3171 | So, if it's a swap partition, why is it showing up as a mountable partition? | 23:07 |
| Ulfalizer | wouldn't be surprised if something else is messed up with this system now though... | 23:07 |
| Ulfalizer | *reboot* | 23:08 |
| Guest3171 | ? | 23:08 |
| Nothing_Much | is there a Debian channel for armel/armhf stuff? | 23:08 |
| Pici | Nothing_Much: start in #debian and see what they say? | 23:09 |
| Nothing_Much | Ah okay | 23:09 |
| utusan | try in oftc | 23:09 |
| zykotick9 | Nothing_Much: try on OFTC | 23:09 |
| Pici | Nothing_Much: also try on oftc, I think thats where debian's official channels are | 23:09 |
| zykotick9 | utusan: ;) | 23:09 |
| Nothing_Much | oftc? | 23:09 |
| utusan | debian doesn't use freenode | 23:09 |
| Nothing_Much | Ohh | 23:09 |
| Nothing_Much | That's a shame | 23:09 |
| Nothing_Much | Well | 23:09 |
| Ulfalizer | seems it removed e.g. gnome-terminal as well... | 23:09 |
| Ulfalizer | those apt-get install <package>:i386 commands seem dangerous as hell | 23:10 |
| Ulfalizer | i had imagined it would just install a i386 version alongside the 64-bit one :/ | 23:10 |
| Nothing_Much | I was hoping to know why I couldn't find Unity (the interface) on Armhf or armel | 23:10 |
| Guest3171 | And here's the output of dmesg | tail | 23:10 |

| XRS1 | whats the hdparm to remove write ptoection from a SATA drive? | 23:10 |
| zykotick9 | Ulfalizer: not all packages are multiarch aware at this point, so yes, can be dangerous. | 23:10 |
| Ulfalizer | zykotick9: would it do that if it was a multiarch-aware package? | 23:11 |
| zykotick9 | Ulfalizer: no. but CHECK what is happening with apt-get BEFORE you proceed in future. | 23:11 |
| Guest3171 | Hello? | 23:11 |
| Ulfalizer | yeah, should look into that. do a dry run thingie first... | 23:12 |
| XRS1 | protection* | 23:12 |
| zykotick9 | Ulfalizer: just default apt-get install foo will tell you want it's gonna do, before it does it... | 23:12 |
| Ulfalizer | might've seen the "deleting x packages" and thought "prolly needed to set things up for multiarch" :) | 23:13 |
| Ulfalizer | bit naive | 23:13 |
| Ulfalizer | *removing | 23:13 |
| Ulfalizer | ah well, it was a fresh install at least, and i know what not to do in the future :P | 23:14 |
| Guest3171 | So, any ideas? | 23:14 |
| XRS1 | Guest3171, have you tried running testdisk? | 23:16 |
| Guest3171 | not yet | 23:16 |
| XRS1 | that will try and repair the drive | 23:16 |
| Ulfalizer | while i'm here - what would you suggest for cross-compiling and testing 32-bit versions of an app on 64-bit ubuntu? | 23:19 |
| Ulfalizer | that depends on non-multiarch-aware packages | 23:20 |
| Ulfalizer | one of the reasons i got a 64-bit install was to be able to test both easily, but maybe it's not that straightforward | 23:20 |
| XRS1 | gcc and both the 32bit and 64bit libs | 23:21 |
| Ulfalizer | what would be a good way to get the 32-bit sdl libs alongside the 64-bit ones? | 23:21 |
| Ulfalizer | and possibly other non-multiarch-aware packages | 23:22 |
| Ulfalizer | google suggests chrooting. i'll look into that. | 23:23 |
| Dr_Willis | 32bit test os - inside virtualbox perhaps? | 23:23 |
| Dr_Willis | to better simulate what a 32bit user would have | 23:23 |
| Ulfalizer | Dr_Willis: that'd work, but i'd rather not have to deal with cumbersome VMs unless necessary | 23:24 |
| Ulfalizer | yeah, that'd be an advantage | 23:24 |
| XRS1 | well you cant test something without actually testing it | 23:24 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont find lubuntu in vbox cumbersom ;) | 23:24 |
| Dr_Willis | given how my normal 'setup' is so tweaked compared to a vanilla install of ubuntu - id think you would want to test in a 'clean' known install in any case | 23:25 |
| Ulfalizer | XRS1: it's better than nothing, and i'd probably do more rigorous testing before releases | 23:25 |
| Dr_Willis | at least you are not asking how to get your app in the default ubuntu repos just so you can have others test it. ;) (had someone in here demanding to do that the other day, he dident even want to bother making his own ppa) ;P | 23:26 |
| zykotick9 | Ulfalizer: you may run into issue with chroot and X... best of luck. | 23:26 |
| zippo^ | hello, xinput set-prop 12 "Device Enabled" 0 works great. but when the computer restart, than must I again xinput set-prop 12 "Device Enabled" 0. where can I a setting from automatic? | 23:28 |
| loa | hello, how i can make loading of ubuntu really sillent? | 23:29 |
| loa | sometimes when ubuntu boot i see warning or other output of init scripts | 23:30 |
| Ulfalizer | zykotick9: yeah, not sure how that would work with something like sdl, which needs to link against the x libs :/ | 23:30 |
| loa | how i can switch it off complete? | 23:30 |
| Ulfalizer | if those are 64-bit as well, you'd need a whole separate system with a ton of packages in the chroot it seems... | 23:30 |
| Dr_Willis | loa: if theres a 'disk needing fsck'ed message' you really really do want to see those. ;) | 23:31 |
| Ulfalizer | bleh | 23:31 |
| loa | Dr_Willis, =/ | 23:31 |
| Dr_Willis | loa: most people come in here asking how to see all the messages ;) | 23:32 |
| * Ulfalizer wonders what the least-hassle vm thingy you could run is | 23:32 | |
| Dr_Willis | because by default - pymouth covers up most all of them in many cases | 23:32 |
| Dr_Willis | Ulfalizer: vbox is rather easy to get going | 23:32 |
| loa | Dr_Willis, it really anoing that i see messages for example about stunnel or something like this) | 23:32 |
| loa | i just want emblem of ubuntu) | 23:32 |
| Ulfalizer | ok | 23:32 |
| loa | without any text and artefacts | 23:33 |
| loa | but knowlege about seeing all text messages will be good information too) | 23:33 |
| loa | but i think i no how i can do) | 23:33 |
| Dr_Willis | !text | 23:33 |
| ubottu | To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 23:33 |
| Dr_Willis | the system boots to a framebuffer mode, and plymouth runs as soon as possible to give you the lovely (and often broken) ubuntu .... loading screen | 23:34 |
| OerHeks | "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" should prevent 'normal' text messages | 23:34 |
| Dr_Willis | it never seems to work right for me. because of issues with the nvidia drivers | 23:34 |
| lb_ | Can someone help me? | 23:34 |
| === lb_ is now known as Guest91237 | ||
| Dr_Willis | "quiet splash" is the defaults as far as i know. | 23:34 |
| lbb2 | Can someone help me? | 23:36 |
| Frozenlock | Hello gentlemen. Yesterday I updated my machine (sudo apt-get update) and since then my screens turn black a few seconds after boot. Audio is disabled as well, and pretty much everything else. It's as if my machine was going into sleep mode, and getting stuck in it. | 23:36 |
| OerHeks | just ask lbb2 | 23:36 |
| Frozenlock | Is this a known problem for the last few updates? | 23:36 |
| lbb2 | I need help.. OerHeks | 23:37 |

| lbb2 | I'm installing UbunTu in Virtual Box on my Windows 8 lap Top. Everytime it is done it asks me to restart and everytime I do Virtual Box stops working and it says it is not responding. I tried this with UbunTu 12.04 TLS and 13.04 I even unistalled Virtual Box and tried again and it didn't work. | 23:37 |
| Dr_Willis | hmm. | 23:38 |
| jared_ | Hello | 23:41 |

| Guest98274 | Is there a way to get Ubuntu on a 700mb disc, like a Ubuntu thats 700mb for 64bit pc | 23:42 |
| Dr_Willis | lubuntu i belive fits on a 700mb cd Guest98274 | 23:42 |
| Dr_Willis | or use an older ubuntu release. | 23:42 |
| Guest98274 | can i have a link | 23:43 |
| Dr_Willis | !torrents | 23:43 |
| ubottu | Raring can be torrented from http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/raring/desktop/ubuntu-13.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/raring/server/ubuntu-13.04-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your needs. Other flavors can be found at http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969 | 23:43 |
| Guest98274 | im not very used to this | 23:43 |
| Dr_Willis | !lubuntu | 23:43 |
| ubottu | lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 23:43 |
| Dr_Willis | lubuntu - is ubuntu without unity. but using the lxde desktop instead | 23:43 |
| Guest98274 | im using XUbuntu | 23:43 |
| Dr_Willis | most people use a USB to install from these days Guest98274 | 23:43 |
| Guest98274 | i use a cd, but u can use usb drives?? | 23:44 |
| Dr_Willis | you have been able to use a bootalbe usb flash for like.. years... | 23:44 |
| Guest98274 | WOW | 23:44 |
| Dr_Willis | most all disrtos do it that way these days. or can | 23:44 |
| Guest98274 | how can i boot them on though, do i need a special one | 23:44 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive ran whold systems off of a 32gb usb flash. ;) | 23:44 |
| Dr_Willis | you just use a tool to put the ISO file on the usb in a special way | 23:44 |
| Guest98274 | like?? | 23:45 |
| Dr_Willis | http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ | 23:45 |
| shusain | Guest nearly all bios chips support the option but you have to go into bios sometimes | 23:45 |
| Dr_Willis | !install | 23:45 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - See also !automate | 23:45 |
| yeats | Guest98274: unetbootin is a good option too | 23:45 |
| Guest98274 | k,well i gtg ima look into that | 23:45 |
| Dr_Willis | ive had way to many issues with unetbootin over the years. :) not tried it recently | 23:45 |
| === ubadm is now known as as8n | ||
| Dr_Willis | some of the tools at pendrivelinux have much nicer feature sets. | 23:46 |
| Dr_Willis | like Multi ISO files on a single usb. ;) | 23:46 |
| Ulfalizer | one issue i had when installing earlier today was that i couldn't change the boot order to put the usb stick first as it'd confuse the installer and break the install (infinite blinking cursor). had to keep the boot order with the disk first and force boot from the usb stick in the bios instead. :/ | 23:47 |
| Ulfalizer | stuff like that could be more robust | 23:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Ulfalizer: ive not seen that been an issue in years. | 23:47 |
| Ulfalizer | this is a two-year-old core-i7 machine | 23:47 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont have to change th4e order to install. i just tell the bios to boot the usb | 23:47 |
| Ulfalizer | don't remember mobo off the top of my head. ssd drive. | 23:47 |
| Ulfalizer | had to tell it to boot from the usb rather than put the usb first in the boot order though | 23:48 |
| Ulfalizer | my bios has an option for that | 23:48 |
| Dr_Willis | you do have to double check that the GRUB loader is going on the MBR of the hd you plan on booting once you install. | 23:48 |
| Ulfalizer | seemed to be the difference between sda and sdb in the installer, so some confusion over mappings i guess... | 23:48 |
| Dr_Willis | you dont need to put the USB first. ;) unless you want it to always boot the usb if its plugged in.. but if you remove the usb. that bios setting gets reset from what ive seen | 23:49 |
| Dr_Willis | now years ago - i had a pc that whatever HD you selected to boot from the bios menu - became 'sda' that really really casued issues. this was befor the switch to 'UUID' nameing | 23:49 |
| Ulfalizer | Dr_Willis: i don't think putting the usb stick first in the boot order should break the install though. in many older bios:es that was the only way to boot from a cd iirc, if you also had a bootable hdd. | 23:50 |
| unknown__ | Will someone teach me how to expand a Windows 7 iso onto a flash drive using ubuntu? | 23:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive seen grub break for many other reasns Ulfalizer - i imagine 'boot-repair' from a live cd - would have fixed your issues | 23:50 |
| Dr_Willis | unknown__: you can use the 'dd' command to Image a ISO file straight to a usb. | 23:50 |
| Ulfalizer | oh, wasn't aware of that option | 23:50 |
| Dr_Willis | unknown__: ie: -> 'sudo dd if=windows.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M' where sdX is the proper device name for your USB.. DONT get it wrong. | 23:51 |
| Fyodorovna | unknown_, ntfs with a boot flag, exstract it to it with the archive manager. | 23:51 |
| Ulfalizer | did a linux from scratch thingy years ago, and i remember there being some guesswork involved in the bios->device mappings in grub, so not that weird if it's easily confused | 23:51 |
| unknown__ | Dr_Willis ; Thank you, but I not sure what I'm doing | 23:51 |
| Dr_Willis | grub not getting set right = is a top 10 problem these days | 23:52 |
| Dr_Willis | unknown__: id suggest asking in #windows for guideance. they may know of some guides | 23:52 |
| Dr_Willis | unknown__: the pendrivelinux site might have some tools to automate it also. Ive never put windows on a usb that way. | 23:52 |
| unknown__ | Dr_Willis the Iso is in my homefolder and it's name is X17-24281.iso | 23:52 |
| Fyodorovna | there is a forked to linux usb windows loader from ms | 23:52 |
| unknown__ | do you have a link fyodorovna? | 23:53 |
| Dr_Willis | http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/tool-to-create-windows-usb-install.html | 23:54 |
| threesixes | oh yeah ubuntu 12.04 saving the day | 23:55 |
| Dr_Willis | seems unetbootin at one time had the feature as well | 23:55 |
| Dr_Willis | it may still have it. ;) | 23:55 |
| unknown__ | Thank you Dr_willis | 23:55 |
| unknown__ | I tried unetbootin but it didn't seem to work, maybe user error :P | 23:56 |
| Fyodorovna | unknown_ look up winusb, it's a forked windows usb loader | 23:57 |
| Fyodorovna | unknown_, http://askubuntu.com/questions/116885/can-i-use-ubuntu-to-write-a-windows-7-iso-to-usb-in-ubuntu | 23:58 |
| Fyodorovna | It canbe installed without the ppa I believe, as a download | 23:59 |
