| hanky | SonikkuAmerica, Ive been spending half a day now reading trying to understand. Just didnt think I'd get this 'BIG' problem so early when I switched to ubuntu. | 00:00 |
| SonikkuAmerica | hanky: How does 12.04 LTS work for you? | 00:00 |
| Dr_Willis | SonikkuAmerica: i think that was for 14.x testing out 13.10 on my desktop and its not using mir by default . but that could be because its a nvidia system | 00:00 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Dr_Willis: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/06/mir-display-server-to-ship-default-in-ubuntu-13-10 | 00:02 |
| OerHeks | Xmir, not mir | 00:02 |
| Dr_Willis | SonikkuAmerica: well this netbook is using 13.10 right now. ;) and as far as i can tell. its not using mir | 00:02 |
| Dr_Willis | this is an intel chipset netbook | 00:02 |
| hanky | It's working well except my graphics card wasn't supported. Got the dual monitors with extended wallpaper working after some time. | 00:02 |

| hanky | Been wanting to setup a FTP- and web-server as well in the future. But now I'm getting second toughts, if i can't get real video drivers. | 00:03 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Dr_Willis: :) Joey Sneddon's comment about "Goodbye, xorg.conf": "I'm going to print mine out and keep it in a photo frame just for old times sake. Look on it now and again with a glint of nostalgia in my eye. We got so close during all those times I had to wrestle with it to make, pun intended, 'x' work." lol | 00:03 |
| Dr_Willis | hanky: best to not use ftp. stick to ssh | 00:03 |
| hanky | Yeah of course. I'll keep that in mind. | 00:04 |
| hanky | thanks | 00:04 |
| Dr_Willis | hanky: video and wifi drivers have always been a top 10 problem. even on windows pcs ;) | 00:04 |
| Dr_Willis | i find that slightly older (last years new stuff) tends to be the best value/prefornabce/lease problemns on linux machines | 00:05 |
| hanky | Dr_Willis, I remember having problems with my wifi-drivers last time i tried ubuntu. so I believe you. | 00:05 |
| hanky | Yeah I really would like to install an older version with xorg 1.12 that works with the legacy-drivers from AMD. | 00:05 |
| Dr_Willis | i have bought several wifi dongles the last year that work in linux and even my linux based Media-Home-theate-devices with NO hassles.. but in windows. they are a pain. | 00:05 |
| hanky | I try to use WIFI as rarely as possible. Seems like a (still) broken technology. ;) | 00:06 |
| === gavinguo_ is now known as gavinguo | ||
| Winsler | hey | 00:07 |
| hanky | But what I don't understand is that people on the forums whine that they got the problem when using 12.10 (thus, the upgrade to xorg 1.13 was included). Im using 12.4, and still have xorg 1.13. Strange. | 00:08 |
| Dr_Willis | rarely have issues with wifi any more. ive found its handy to have a low end-cheap usb wifi dongle that works out of th ebox.. to put on problem laptops - so you can then use wifi to get the drivers for the 'built in/problematic' wifi devices in the laptop | 00:08 |
| Dr_Willis | to be honest with ya. i dont even Look at ati brand video cards any more. I just say no to them. ;) | 00:09 |
| hanky | Is NVIDIA much better? | 00:09 |
| Dr_Willis | i have very few if any issues with my 3+ nvidia boxs | 00:09 |
| Dr_Willis | im down to a single ati desktop machine. and it uses the open soruced drivers | 00:09 |
| Winsler | I use NVIDIA and have never had problems | 00:10 |
| Dr_Willis | but my nvidia machines are all almost 2+ yrs old now | 00:10 |
| Dr_Willis | even my high-end-gaming desktop is 2 yrs old. | 00:10 |
| hanky | Ok, with this one was NVIDIA, not AMD. >_< | 00:11 |
| Dr_Willis | in most cases withnvidia - i just boot. install the nvidia-current package. reboot. run nvidia-settings and all is good. | 00:12 |
| hanky | Like in windows, haha its ironic. | 00:12 |
| iceroot | hanky: the newest ati drivers are better then the nvidia ones because the open source driver was improved very much but is only a few days old, normally ati and nvidia are bad, because they dont provide usefull free software | 00:12 |
| Dr_Willis | unless its one of those dual-gpu Optimis stuff | 00:12 |
| hanky | My friends told me it's that way with ubuntu and thats why i installed. And im here with the biggest issue out there. :D | 00:13 |
| Dr_Willis | if its just 'work machine' most of the intel chipsets can do a fine job these days | 00:13 |
| hanky | iceroot, they seem nice. To bad I had a card in the series 4. | 00:13 |
| hanky | The series 5 were supported. :-) | 00:13 |
| iceroot | and intel has the advantage, the driver is free and open source software | 00:13 |
| Dr_Willis | intel had a few issues here and there over the last few years. i think they have gotten things better in the last year. | 00:14 |
| hanky | I have to use the legacy-driver-package. And its not compatible with xorg 1.13. | 00:14 |
| iceroot | it will be really funny with ubuntu 13.10, non free drivers and MIR | 00:14 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Why is a display server named after a Russian space station anyway? | 00:14 |
| iceroot | hanky: and the driver package and xorg are both in the ubuntu repos? | 00:14 |
| hanky | iceroot, you will have to treat me as a newbie because I am. | 00:15 |
| iceroot | hanky: which ubuntu version? and where does the driver come from? | 00:16 |
| hanky | The driver comes from AMD, it's the legacy-driver packade, it supports later cards for what I know. I just installed the stabile LTS 10.4 version of ubuntu. | 00:17 |
| SonikkuAmerica | hanky: Do a release upgrade immediately. | 00:17 |
| iceroot | SonikkuAmerica: why? | 00:17 |
| hanky | And that came with xorg 1.13, and the legacy package wasn't made to with with the upgrade from xorg 1.12 --> 1.13. | 00:18 |
| SonikkuAmerica | iceroot: 10.04 (desktop) is dead. | 00:18 |
| hanky | SonikkuAmerica, what do you mean? | 00:18 |
| iceroot | 10.04 has also 5 years support for desktop? | 00:18 |
| kostkon | hanky, where did you get that info from | 00:18 |
| iceroot | or was it only 12.04? | 00:18 |
| SonikkuAmerica | iceroot: Nope. | 00:18 |
| SonikkuAmerica | iceroot: That schedule started with 12.04 | 00:18 |
| hanky | I downloaded it from ubuntus homepage. | 00:18 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !support | 00:18 |
| ubottu | The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org and http://askubuntu.com | 00:18 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !LTS | 00:18 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 00:18 |
| iceroot | SonikkuAmerica: thx | 00:19 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !release-upgrade | hanky | 00:19 |
| Dr_Willis | !versionb | 00:19 |
| Dr_Willis | !version | 00:19 |
| ubottu | To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 00:19 |
| Dr_Willis | double check your version with lsb_release -a . verify what version it truely is | 00:19 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Dr_Willis: What's the !command that talks about release upgrading? (Do you know?) | 00:19 |
| Dr_Willis | !upgrade | 00:19 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 00:19 |
| Dr_Willis | if he just did a clean install of 10.04 - I would suggest doing a new install of a newer reelase | 00:20 |
| hanky | Did that earlier, here it is: Distributor ID:Ubuntu | 00:20 |
| hanky | Description:Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS | 00:20 |
| hanky | Release:12.04 | 00:20 |
| vadi | How can I reset appmenu? It is failing to show menus and is hampering productivity. | 00:20 |
| hanky | But wait a minute, will that solve my problem with my video card, to upgrade to a newer version? | 00:21 |
| Dr_Willis | hanky: so you got 12.04.3 ;) thats the latest lts. there is 13.04 that has newer 'stuff' and 13.10 due out next month | 00:21 |
| Dr_Willis | hanky: i would at least test with 13.04 or 13.10 and see if they work any better | 00:21 |
| kostkon | Dr_Willis, 12.04.3 comes with the raring X and kernel | 00:22 |
| SonikkuAmerica | vadi: App menu? Can you tell us what !version and !flavor your Ubuntu is? | 00:22 |
| Dr_Willis | hanky: not like its a big deal to get a newer relase and try with a live-usb | 00:22 |
| hanky | Dr_Willis, Okey, I guess it's worth a shot! | 00:22 |
| kostkon | vadi, in which app(s)? | 00:22 |
| vadi | Ubuntu 13.04, the default Unity edition | 00:22 |
| vadi | Evince | 00:22 |
| kostkon | vadi, works fine here. what's exactly the problem | 00:23 |
| Dr_Willis | vadi: you mean the top left 'dash' button is not showing stuff? | 00:23 |
| taime1 | What is the safest way to upgrade ubuntu server 12.04.3 to the latest kernel? | 00:23 |
| SonikkuAmerica | taime1: [ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ] should do all the work. | 00:23 |
| vadi | It works fine here too, except when it decides not work. Yes, the applications menu - which gets moved up - is failing to show. Here is a video: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/151482435/appmenu%20breakdown.mp4 | 00:24 |
| Dr_Willis | taime1: latest from kernel.org? or latest in the repos? | 00:24 |
| taime1 | Dr_Willis: latest in repo | 00:24 |
| taime1 | SonikkuAmerica: i was hoping that was all, just wasnt sure | 00:24 |
| kostkon | vadi, weird. so there's a bug report about it | 00:25 |
| SonikkuAmerica | vadi: Have you tried right-clicking the Evince icon in the launcher? | 00:25 |
| Dr_Willis | dis-upgrade should do it taime1 ;) | 00:25 |
| taime1 | Dr_Willis: SonikkuAmerica thanks | 00:25 |
| Dr_Willis | bbl | 00:25 |
| kostkon | bug 151482435 | 00:25 |
| ubottu | Error: Launchpad bug 151482435 could not be found | 00:25 |
| kostkon | :/ | 00:25 |
| vadi | SonikkuAmerica: I hadn't. How would that be relevant? | 00:25 |
| vadi | I'll try that next time it happens. | 00:26 |
| vadi | kostkon: the bug report is what I just filed. | 00:26 |
| kostkon | vadi, ah ok | 00:26 |
| SonikkuAmerica | vadi: It may or may not show at least some common options (similar to the GNOME app menu for a GNOME app, which Evince is) | 00:26 |
| wissam_ | Hi , how to know if usb drive is mounted in sync or async mode ? | 00:27 |
| kostkon | wissam_, i think by default everythin is copied asynchronously | 00:28 |
| wissam_ | kostkon: I am using ubuntu 13.04 and when copying large data to usb drive makes my laptop freeze completely and i have to hardly restart it so i solved this problem by mounting usb devices in async mode using this command "mount -o remount,async /dev/sdb1" | 00:30 |
| kostkon | wissam_, hmm ok | 00:31 |
| wissam_ | so by default sync mode is enabled right? | 00:31 |
| wissam_ | but how to know if a usb drive is mounted in sync or async mode? | 00:32 |
| taime1 | Would it be safe to upgrade from 3.2.0-53-generic to linux-generic-lts-raring on my 12.04.3 64bit server? | 00:33 |
| SonikkuAmerica | taime1: It should be. | 00:34 |
| taime1 | great | 00:34 |

| hanky | xD | 01:32 |
| Dr_Willis | for mame - its best to read the docs.. its a VERY old app and has a lot of history and quirks. i was suprised it had the menu feature. been so long since i had last used it | 01:33 |

| InFlames | can you link? (sadly i've read many things, i think gisting the output will help, so i'm doing that now) | 01:51 |
| varunendra | MidnightNinja, does that certificate mention windows in it?? Sorry I'm not aware of its contents. | 01:51 |
| zykotick9 | varunendra: you might want to add v to the lspci for vga (for hybrid cards) | 01:51 |
| MidnightNinja | The certs explicitly state windows | 01:51 |
| MidnightNinja | its funny since I've used fedora and 12.04 perfectly fine before | 01:52 |
| InFlames | wilee-nilee, https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6708805 | 01:52 |
| varunendra | jmunsch_, please also give me the device ID. Is it [14e4:4727]? | 01:52 |
| jmunsch_ | yes | 01:53 |
| varunendra | MidnightNinja, what is your connection's name ? | 01:53 |
| jmunsch_ | & [1969:2060] | 01:53 |
| MidnightNinja | my universities connection? | 01:53 |
| varunendra | jmunsch_, and the "Kernel module in use"? | 01:53 |
| MidnightNinja | specifically, the ssid?' | 01:54 |
| varunendra | MidnightNinja, yes. It will also be the name of the file that connection settings are saved in. | 01:54 |
| MidnightNinja | WIRELESS-PITTNET | 01:54 |
| MidnightNinja | Also, I am not on ubuntu right now, since I have no way of accessing the internet on it | 01:55 |
| varunendra | MidnightNinja, are you dual booting? | 01:55 |
| MidnightNinja | yup | 01:55 |
| MidnightNinja | windows 8 and ubuntu 13.04 | 01:55 |
| zykotick9 | varunendra: :( actually with the -v in lspci, you need "lspci -nnkv | grep -iA8 vga" to get to the "Kernel derive in use:" line :( so that's not so good. | 01:55 |
| MidnightNinja | idk if hardware is fully functional, but it works | 01:55 |
| MidnightNinja | and nvidia driver is loaded | 01:55 |
| varunendra | zykotick9, I've used a few variations, so kinda aware of those glitches ;P | 01:56 |
| zykotick9 | varunendra: well thanks again, i'm stealing it regardless ;) | 01:57 |
| varunendra | MidnightNinja, there was a workaround, but it does not always work, and it involves modifying the 'Key File' of the connection | 01:57 |
| MidnightNinja | vaurndera: explain? | 01:57 |
| varunendra | zykotick9, I stole it very shamelessly too.. from a senior member :D | 01:57 |
| varunendra | MidnightNinja, there should be a file /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/WIRELESS-PITTNET in your Ubuntu part | 01:58 |
| MidnightNinja | okay | 01:58 |
| varunendra | MidnightNinja, you must open it as root (can't even read it as a normal user) | 01:58 |
| MidnightNinja | got it | 01:59 |
| varunendra | MidnightNinja, then there should be a line "ca-system-cert=true" in it. You have to change its value from "true" to "flase" | 01:59 |
| tech11 | hi all | 01:59 |
| MidnightNinja | alright awesome | 01:59 |
| MidnightNinja | thanks for the help | 01:59 |
| MidnightNinja | see ya in a bit | 02:00 |
| varunendra | MidnightNinja, no probs, hope it solves the issue. | 02:00 |
| tech11 | how do u running sh configure? | 02:00 |
| varunendra | jmunsch_, still there? | 02:00 |
| jmunsch_ | varunendra : i am not very familiar with what modules relate to the wifi ... but pulling what looks familiar from "lsmod" ... brcmsmac,mac80211 | 02:00 |
| tech11 | how do u running sh configure in ubuntu? | 02:01 |
| varunendra | jmunsch_, that should have been mentioned in the output of the command "lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net". So is it brcmsmac? | 02:02 |
| jmunsch_ | Kernel driver in use: atl1c | 02:02 |
| varunendra | jmunsch_, nope, it is for the ethernet part, see the wireless part | 02:03 |
| tech11 | i need help please | 02:03 |
| jmunsch_ | varunendra : thnx ... yes brcmsmac | 02:04 |
| varunendra | jmunsch_, also, does it happen while shutting down or rebooting from win8 only or also when shutting down Ubuntu? | 02:04 |
| zykotick9 | tech11: compiling software should be your LAST resort. but have you tried "./configure"? | 02:04 |
| jmunsch_ | varunendra : not sure what win8 is ... but wifi must be disabled before shutdown in order for it to work next boot | 02:05 |
| jmunsch_ | ubuntu | 02:05 |

| === marvin is now known as Guest94478 | ||
| varunendra | jmunsch_, sorry I confused you with someone else, I thought you are dual booting with windows 8 | 02:06 |
| jmunsch_ | varunendra : no ... i had a 12.04 install a few months ago ... and had the same issue ... is there anything that I can do to pinpoint why this would occur? what are your thoughts on it? something to do with module loading? | 02:07 |
| varunendra | jmunsch_, we frequently deal with this card at Ubuntu Forums, but never saw this kind of problem before. Have you also tried the proprietary driver at some point? Or some manual configuration somewhere? | 02:08 |
| tech11 | how do u remove ubunut in desktop | 02:08 |
| Dr_Willis | tech11: what do you want to use instead? | 02:08 |
| Dr_Willis | !purekde | 02:08 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde » | 02:08 |
| jmunsch_ | varunendra : no .. this is a fresh install albeit ... ubuntu studio ... but i had the same issue with a 32bit ubuntu desktop version as well ... that's how i figured it might be the same issue | 02:08 |
| Dr_Willis | easier to just leave ubuuntu and unity installed and select a differnt desktop at the login screen | 02:09 |
| jmunsch_ | varunendra : no proprietary ... no man config | 02:09 |
| varunendra | James_Epp, add the command (with absolute paths) in /etc/rc.local file. Make sure the file's last line remains "exit 0" | 02:09 |
| tech11 | window 7 | 02:10 |
| James_Epp | varunendra: Will that pass on all "root" rights to for instance, "gnome-terminal -x bash /dir/Script.sh" | 02:10 |
| hanky | Has anyone used nitrogen for the function of having an extended wallpaper through dual monitors? | 02:10 |
| James_Epp | >>>As well as open a window for when my user auto-logs in? | 02:10 |
| varunendra | jmunsch_, interesting issue then. We may try a few things but I think a forum thread may be a better place for that kind of 'experiments' | 02:10 |
| jmunsch_ | varunendra : sure launchpad? where should i submit the query and other information? | 02:11 |
| varunendra | James_Epp, that script and all the commands in it are executed at boot time 'as root'. That's all I know about it. | 02:11 |
| varunendra | jmunsch_, ubuntuforums.org | 02:11 |
| James_Epp | varunendra: Thanks. | 02:11 |
| varunendra | James_Epp, np :) | 02:12 |
| tech11 | i am install window 7 | 02:12 |
| varunendra | jmunsch_, precisely here : http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=336 | 02:12 |
| James_Epp | tech11: So If I understand correctly, you ubuntu installed and instead want to completely delete ubuntu and install windows 7 again? | 02:13 |
| varunendra | jmunsch_, for adding details, you might find this script helpful : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=12350385 | 02:13 |
| Dr_Willis | tech11: if you want to delete ubuntu. then delete the partions and reinstall whatever os you want | 02:13 |
| tech11 | yes | 02:13 |
| James_Epp | tech11: Join #windows and ask them to walk you through the process of deleting partitions while doing a fresh install. | 02:14 |
| Dr_Willis | ive seen windows 'restore disk' sets that automatically delete all the partions anyway. (which can be annoying) | 02:14 |
| sors | I can't get "aoss gtick" to stay in the unity launcher for my life any ideas ? all other i tried worked | 02:15 |
| jmunsch_ | varunendra : alright ... just getting this SSO stuff under controll ... new login from that server down incident and all i suppose ... i will submit the necessary information ... would you like me to get a link to the thread back here? | 02:15 |
| varunendra | jmunsch_, might get you some help from here. But if you wish to let 'Me' know of it, just pm me there. My id is same at UF | 02:16 |
| jmunsch_ | varunendra : alright the more the merrier :D thnx for the help | 02:17 |
| varunendra | welcome :) | 02:18 |
| Titanium | i installed ubuntu 12.04 desktop 64 bit, and when I try to boot from the disk I installed too... it immediatly goes to a blank screen with a blinking cursor and stays there | 02:23 |
| Titanium | should I be seeing grub instead? | 02:24 |
| Dr_Willis | you may wan tto try the 'boot-repair' tool Titanium mentioned at the following url | 02:25 |
| Dr_Willis | !fixboot | 02:25 |
| Dr_Willis | !fixgrub | 02:25 |
| 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 | 02:25 |
| Dr_Willis | or the nomodeset option if you can get to the grub menu. press/hold shift at boot | 02:25 |
| Dr_Willis | !nomodeset | 02:25 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 02:25 |
| Titanium | thanks! also does ubuntu think ram pairity errors are the same as MCE ? | 02:25 |
| Dr_Willis | by default grub is hidden if ubuntu is ht eonly os on the system | 02:25 |
| Benkinooby | hi | 02:26 |
| Titanium | durign install it said i got MCE, but i checked logs on the server and no such errors happened | 02:26 |
| Titanium | wtf | 02:29 |
| Titanium | it setup GPT I think | 02:29 |
| tech11 | how do u fixing boot window | 02:30 |
| Dr_Willis | tech11: you wan tto put the windows bootloader on the system? or grub? | 02:31 |
| tech11 | yes | 02:31 |
| Dr_Willis | yes to what? | 02:31 |
| Dr_Willis | if you want to restore windows.. ask in #windows | 02:32 |
| Titanium | he obviously wants both to happen at the same time :) | 02:32 |

| zykotick9 | MichaelP: i don't think gnome-shell does compiz... | 02:34 |
| wilee-nilee | MichaelP, the shell is mutter | 02:34 |
| MichaelP | im in fall back... works perfect in ultimate edition 3.5.... but that thing in so loaded | 02:35 |
| MichaelP | Does it work in unity ? | 02:37 |
| taime1 | If i am seeing dropped packets, but ethtool -S eth1 returns no tx errors or any mention of dropped packets, is the problem likely with the router | 02:40 |
| taime1 | >? | 02:40 |
| Dr_Willis | MichaelP: unity is a plugin for compiz. | 02:40 |
| kandinski | How can I debug a VPN connection? Is there any way to launch the Network Manager VPN connection from a console, so the output tells me why it's not connecting? | 02:40 |
| Titanium | how do i make ubuntu boot, if for some reason it automatically formatted as GPT, do i need to re-install (my compouter cannot boot GPT formatted disks) | 02:40 |
| terribus | taime1: Yeah | 02:41 |
| Dr_Willis | if the pc cant handle gpt. then that would sound like you need to repartion the disks to the msdos table. and reinstall | 02:41 |
| MichaelP | Dr_Willis: i thought unity was like a shell for gnome | 02:41 |
| Titanium | is there some reason it does GPT by default? | 02:41 |
| terribus | taime1: swap cables first just to be sure, | 02:41 |
| Dr_Willis | and unity is a compiz plugin that runs on top of the core gnome desktop | 02:42 |
| zykotick9 | Titanium: is your drive 3+TB? | 02:42 |
| taime1 | terribus: yeah, i was going to go that route | 02:42 |
| MichaelP | ok | 02:42 |
| taime1 | hoe reliable is ethtool? | 02:42 |
| wilee-nilee | Titanium, Did this computer have a OEM W8 install at any point, are you sure it is not a uefi computer? | 02:42 |
| Titanium | yes, its 2 years old | 02:43 |
| Titanium | my computer does not support windows... | 02:43 |
| wilee-nilee | Titanium, the last two comments hardly make sense. | 02:43 |
| Titanium | reverse them | 02:43 |
| terribus | taime1: pretty reliable | 02:43 |
| MichaelP | Dr_Willis: if i installed ubuntu insted of kubuntu... compiz and gnome... compiz would be in the ubuntu install ? | 02:43 |
| wilee-nilee | lol righ good luck | 02:43 |
| Titanium | it is not uefi, it is bios, its old | 02:44 |
| Titanium | it never ran windows as it does not support windows | 02:44 |
| Dr_Willis | MichaelP: ubuntu uses unity and compiz and gnome. Kubuntu does not use compiz | 02:44 |
| Dr_Willis | or gnome or unity :) | 02:44 |
| Titanium | it has too much cpu and ram to support windows :( | 02:44 |
| wilee-nilee | !who | Titanium will help | 02:44 |
| ubottu | Titanium will help: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 02:44 |
| MichaelP | so then if i install ubuntu-desktop... everything should be there then | 02:44 |
| Dr_Willis | MichaelP: yes. | 02:45 |
| Titanium | !tab | 02:45 |
| ubottu | You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 02:45 |
| wilee-nilee | Titanium, I asked a question, "Did this computer have a OEM W8 install at any point" then you said yes then said it does not support windows | 02:45 |
| Titanium | yeah, sorry i answered the last part first | 02:46 |
| wilee-nilee | could have been yes to anything without a nick is all. Titanium | 02:46 |
| Titanium | wilee-nilee sorry | 02:46 |
| MichaelP | ok... or would i be better off just downloading ubuntu 13.04 iso | 02:46 |
| wilee-nilee | Titanium, No biggie we just want to be sure we understand each other is all. ;) | 02:46 |
| Titanium | wilee-nilee im just going to re-install | 02:47 |
| Titanium | wilee-nilee i can manually partition, i just was hoping the automatic one would be sane and do MBR for <2TB | 02:47 |
| wilee-nilee | Titanium, Check the partition table, I would make it a msdos if possible that it is empty, the mbr might have gpt info as well and need clearing. | 02:48 |
| Dr_Willis | MichaelP: im not sure what you are trying to do. | 02:48 |
| Titanium | wilee-nilee I re-did the RAID5 before install, and removed all other storage (I had a usb key before on the internal usb slot) | 02:48 |
| MichaelP | Dr_Willis: wanting all the effects of compiz | 02:48 |
| wilee-nilee | Titanium, Sometimes big HD's have two HD's attached, I wonder if this is the case 2 terrabytes ca run msdos. | 02:49 |
| wilee-nilee | can* | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | MichaelP: install compiz and all the plugins if thats what you want. Ifyou want the full unity-desktop install ubuntu-desktop | 02:49 |
| Titanium | wilee-nilee i have been trying to get this turned into my new gaming pc for like a month now, sorry if i sound frustrated :) | 02:49 |

| wilee-nilee | bluedogslim, I use synapse to trigger apps myself, not keys. | 02:51 |
| bluedogslim | there has to be a hot key or some short cut | 02:51 |
| terribus | Titanium: Are you using hardware or software RAID? Is it built into your motherboard or did you buy a seperate card? | 02:52 |

| bluedogslim | Especially if you want to use the calculator in a hurry | 02:52 |
| wilee-nilee | bluedogslim, You could assign one I doubt there is one for the calculator. | 02:52 |
| Titanium | terribus its an LSI 9260-8i | 02:52 |
| Titanium | terribus hardware RAID | 02:53 |
| bluedogslim | I got it | 02:53 |
| terribus | and you created a RAID 5 container in the RAID bios? | 02:53 |
| bluedogslim | Wow thats cool | 02:53 |
| Titanium | terribus yeah | 02:53 |
| Titanium | terribus and i set that volume as the boot one | 02:53 |
| terribus | Titanium: and I assume that when you installed, it listed it as /dev/sd* ? | 02:54 |

| terribus | Titanium: wacky | 02:54 |
| Titanium | terribus i didnt check I assumed the auto partitioning would just magically do it | 02:54 |
| lotuspsychje | DJ_U|Laptop: wich menu? | 02:54 |
| wilee-nilee | bluedogslim, here is some info if needed. http://askubuntu.com/questions/83962/assign-keyboard-shortcut-to-program | 02:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Titanium: its possible the boot-repair tool may fix things.. then again it may not. ;) | 02:54 |

| bluedogslim | wow - thats cool | 02:55 |
| DJ_U|Laptop | I'm stuck on the "Where are you" screen. Tried the "Install alongside Windows" install option, via live disc | 02:55 |

| Titanium | Dr_Willis and the CLI commands didnt let me fix it as it said it was GPT foramatted | 02:55 |
| terribus | fdisk -l ? | 02:55 |
| Titanium | terribus yeah it shows up, but as GPT | 02:55 |
| bluedogslim | ubuntu is amazing | 02:55 |
| lotuspsychje | DJ_U|Laptop: does the 'where are you' menu freezes? | 02:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Titanium: you can get a boot-repair dedicated live-cd - i dont use gpt enough to even now about it much | 02:55 |
| Titanium | Dr_Willis i dont use GPT either as i cannot boot it | 02:56 |
| Dr_Willis | fdisk is outdated a bit and dosent handle gpt. that dosent mean the system cant handle gpt | 02:56 |
| wilee-nilee | bluedogslim, days 11.10, but the keyboard app is in all releases | 02:56 |

| lotuspsychje | DJ_U|Laptop: maybe try 13.04? | 02:58 |
| DJ_U|Laptop | Well, I guess I could try grabbing 13.04, but would that affect the partitioning, given that the install has made it this far, then hanging? | 02:59 |

| jmgk | hi all | 03:00 |
| jmgk | Anyone here know if laptops have good battery life with Ubuntu? | 03:00 |
| terribus | Titanium: I'd run down if the OS actually sees the block device. Sometimes there's a driver it needs(havent seen this with ubuntu recently, but it happens) especially if it's an LSI controller rather than COTS. | 03:00 |
| lotuspsychje | DJ_U|Laptop: ive seen few systems hang on the partitioning menu | 03:00 |

| bluedogslim | If your worried about too many process try installing mint. | 03:01 |

| DWSR | How can I get the last kernel panic message? | 03:04 |
| Dr_Willis | jmgk: it will depend on the exact laptop and the ubuntu version. theres a lot of issues with some makes and very poor battery life. often due to the laptop makers not following the standards | 03:05 |
| wilee-nilee | DJ_U|Laptop, This a computer with W8? | 03:05 |
| DJ_U|Laptop | No, Windows 7 | 03:06 |

| jmunsch_ | varunendra : sounds good ... no hurry ... and i forgot to mention ... but i did in the thread ... the issue seems to be resolved in 13.04 ... so is not super pressing since i know how to scoot around it ... but since it is an issue for the LTS maybe something should be added to an update? i dunno. but it is definitely a reason for someone new to ubuntu to just walk away from it. | 03:07 |
| wilee-nilee | DJ_U|Laptop, Mainly is it a uefi, did it ever have W8? Does it have 4 primary partitions maybe if a msdos setup, hard to really tell important details so far. | 03:07 |
| jmgk | ok Dr_Willis | 03:07 |
| DJ_U|Laptop | Has 3 primary partitions, but they are all on different drives. It has never had windows 8 on it. Not sure what UEFI is, but I have a BIOS | 03:08 |
| surface-vermin | does you bios enable you to use a mouse ? | 03:09 |
| DJ_U|Laptop | yes, both P/S 2 and USB. I do not have access to a P/S 2 mouse, however. | 03:09 |
| wilee-nilee | DJ_U|Laptop, are you sure different drives, are you calling partitions drives? | 03:09 |
| zexcriz_ | is apparmor enabled by default in ubuntu ? | 03:10 |

| zexcriz_ | wilee-nilee, ok | 03:10 |
| DJ_U|Laptop | I would if I could, but I have a ton of games and none of them work under the Linux kernal | 03:11 |
| lotuspsychje | DJ_U|Laptop: did you check playonlinux and steam? | 03:11 |
| DJ_U|Laptop | I have, but none are availible and I suspect wouldn't run with WINE | 03:11 |

| varunendra | jmunsch_, thanks for that update, definitely worth looking into. But the latest updates for 12.04 use the same kernel as default 13.04, have you tried updating it? | 03:12 |

| zexcriz_ | can i setup postfix for my home use ? is that a good idea or a bad one ? | 03:13 |
| lotuspsychje | DJ_U|Laptop: yes would be nice to install 13.04 clean on 1 drive first, will blow your mind | 03:13 |

| OldTexas | Reckon I'll mosey on over there. | 03:18 |
| wilee-nilee | DJ_U|Laptop, be careful with using just windows disk management to show partitions, it hides the boot partition usually, look with gparted in ubuntu if you are going to install, I assume you know the amount and limitations of partitions types on a singke HD. | 03:18 |
| Dr_Willis | i seem to recall seeing 3000 in here on release day | 03:18 |
| lotuspsychje | Dr_Willis: lol :p | 03:18 |
| Dr_Willis | the reason ignore part/joins was invented | 03:18 |
| DJ_U|Laptop | Yes, I'm aware of the limitations on a single drive. I've been working with multiple partitions, as well as drives for more than a decade. :) | 03:19 |

| lotuspsychje | DJ_U|Laptop: 13.04 is worth the wait for sure, i found it very stable and fast | 03:25 |
| tr3nton | http://askubuntu.com/a/157787/50523 I notice in this answer to check if a process is running, they put a square bracket around the first letter of the process name, to exclude the grep process. Is that right? How does that work.. couldnt see any doc about that | 03:25 |

| lotuspsychje | tr3nton: didnt find it at first yet, its a huge man :p alot of options in there | 03:28 |
| Dr_Willis | that sould be a regular expression woldent it? | 03:29 |
| === bill is now known as Guest21364 | ||

| tr3nton | Dr_Willis: That's what I initially thought, but im not sure | 03:30 |

| Dr_Willis | !pxe | 03:54 |
| Dr_Willis | perhaps this one | 03:54 |

| 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 | 03:54 |
| Dr_Willis | guess you could edit the /etc/apt/sources.list or other apt configs befor starting the installer | 03:55 |
| archangle25 | ive read i dont know how many ubuntu specific installs recently all to no avail. | 03:55 |
| archangle25 | my problem is that the initrd and kernel are loaded but then dont go anywhere and drop out to busybox | 03:55 |
| tfdl | good evening to all, | 03:55 |
| archangle25 | eg in rhel I would pass ks=blah url etc and annaconda would know to take over | 03:55 |
| surface-vermin | evening | 03:55 |
| Titanium | hi, i am partitioning ubuntu as i install it, is there any guide on how big i should make each partition? | 03:55 |
| archangle25 | i know casper is the installation env i *think* | 03:56 |
| surface-vermin | titanium no | 03:56 |
| wilee-nilee | !who | surface-vermin not a nick in sight | 03:57 |
| ubottu | surface-vermin not a nick in sight: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 03:57 |
| Titanium | surface-vermin can you give me some guidance? | 03:57 |
| surface-vermin | !Titanium sure | 03:57 |
| Titanium | surface-vermin I have 200 GB of disk, and 512 GB ram. I plan to use this for gameing (note i will not need much if any swap space) | 03:58 |
| wilee-nilee | surface-vermin, Cool, you can tab complete nicks. | 03:58 |
| Guest21364 | Titanium, I have one big / and a swap. That's it. I also have a network attached Samba share that is where I back up anything important. That is why I don't have a separate /home partition. Basically, you want a root "/" to be big enough for all the applications you would like to install and the rest for home minus a reasonable swap. | 03:58 |
| tfdl | I am looking for help with GtkTerm package on Ubuntu. Can you please point me to a source of documentation for this package? | 03:59 |
| Guest21364 | Titanium, but if you have networked attached storage: one big / and a swap. | 03:59 |
| tfdl | !GtkTerm | 03:59 |
| wilee-nilee | Titanium, 512 gigs of ram? | 03:59 |
| OldTexas | There's this outfit called Identity that makes this $14.95 2 DVD little magazine thing that's got a dDVD for 13.04 32bit on one side n' 64bit on the other. The second DVD has Xubuntu, Lububtu, Kubuntu, Ubuntu-Gnome n' Xfce on it. It's a good starter DVD if you are startin' from nothing. http://www.linuxidentity.com/us/E | 03:59 |
| Titanium | Guest21364 yeah i will probably use my iSCSI storage as it has better performance than my SSD | 04:00 |
| wilee-nilee | OldTexas, Those are all free in general. | 04:00 |
| Titanium | wilee-nilee yes | 04:01 |
| wilee-nilee | Titanium, This a super computer or something. | 04:01 |
| Guest21364 | Titanium, the reason some people like a separate /home is because they reinstall and don't format the home partition when they do - they just reuse it. In my case I have gigabit LAN. I'll flatten my hard-drive and have it copied back in 20 minutes, no big deal. | 04:01 |
| Titanium | wilee-nilee its my new gaming pc | 04:01 |
| Titanium | yeah I have 10gbps ports integrated into motherboard so i will probably use my NAS for any high IOPS stuff | 04:02 |
| tfdl | I am looking for help with GtkTerm package on Ubuntu. Can you please point me to a source of documentation for this package? | 04:06 |
| reisio | tfdl: help accomplishing what? | 04:06 |
| Dr_Willis | tfdl: most packages have docs in /usr/share/doc/ or doc-base | 04:07 |
| totesmuhgoats | hi friends | 04:07 |
| totesmuhgoats | how can i tell to what package a program belongs? | 04:07 |
| reisio | hi totesmuhgoats | 04:07 |
| totesmuhgoats | reisio: it has been a while | 04:07 |
| tfdl | with the gui of GtkTerm i can send a hex to serial port successfully, but how can i automate it or how can i do it in command line or as a program, please? | 04:08 |
| tfdl | to both <reisio> and <Dr_Willis> above. | 04:08 |
| reisio | totesmuhgoats: dpkg -S `which program` | 04:08 |
| Titanium | how large should i make /, /boot, /home, /tmp, /usr, /var, /srv, /opt, and /usr/local | 04:09 |
| reisio | Titanium: I wouldn't even make them separate | 04:09 |
| zykotick9 | totesmuhgoats: or "dpkg -S /path/to/program" | 04:09 |
| reisio | Titanium: the only real advantage to doing so is to use specialized FSes for each partition | 04:09 |
| Titanium | does linux create a swap file like windows that is the same size as RAM? | 04:09 |
| Titanium | my HDD is smaller than RAM | 04:09 |
| reisio | Titanium: the installer does, yes, if you don't tell it what size you want | 04:10 |
| reisio | Titanium: then it probably wouldn't :p | 04:10 |
| Guest21364 | Titanium, reisio, I'm not certain about Ubuntu but if /usr is separate on Arch you have to take care with it or your system won't boot.. | 04:10 |
| surface-vermin | that in the mkinitcpio | 04:10 |
| surface-vermin | ubuntu take's care of that | 04:11 |
| totesmuhgoats | thanks for the responses, but dpkg says "no path found matching pattern /usr/bin/java" | 04:11 |
| zykotick9 | totesmuhgoats: "which java" is it really in /usb/bin/java? | 04:11 |
| reisio | Guest21364: I imagine the installer is informed of any potential issues in that regard | 04:11 |
| tfdl | to both <reisio> and <Dr_Willis>: this is the package with gui that i mentioned above https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/oneiric/gtkterm/ | 04:12 |
| reisio | zykotick9: :p | 04:12 |
| totesmuhgoats | zykotick9: yea i used reisio's syntax, so it returned the result of which | 04:12 |
| reisio | tfdl: how're you doing it now? | 04:12 |
| Titanium | so if I just make a big / is that fine, or should I make /tmp and /var smaller | 04:12 |
| reisio | totesmuhgoats: mmm, it's possible that's some de facto symlink that doesn't count | 04:12 |
| reisio | totesmuhgoats: readlink `which java` :p | 04:12 |
| reisio | but it should be pretty obvious what provides your java executable | 04:13 |
| totesmuhgoats | well java -version seems to suggest it is from openjdk | 04:13 |
| reisio | dpkg -l | egrep -i 'jdk|jre|oracle|sun|icedtea' | 04:13 |
| Guest21364 | Titanium, if you end up making any of the partitions too small it can be a pain to later increase their sizes. If you only have 200GB I see no problem with one big / | 04:13 |
| reisio | Titanium: I just make a big / | 04:13 |
| zykotick9 | reisio: that's quite the egrep ;) | 04:13 |
| tfdl | to both <reisio> and <Dr_Willis>: I have entered the hex string and send successfully to serial port to switch the light red or green using its gui, but how can i do that programmatically? | 04:13 |
| reisio | zykotick9: yeah but it only took a half second to type :p | 04:13 |
| zexcriz_ | what is a vhost ? is that a local host ? | 04:14 |
| reisio | tfdl: how are you doing it now? | 04:14 |
| reisio | zexcriz_: virtual host | 04:14 |
| reisio | it's a host that exists only in software | 04:14 |
| totesmuhgoats | looks like i have openjdk-6-jre installed | 04:14 |

| reisio | tfdl: need to know precisely how you're doing it manually first | 04:15 |
| reisio | "entered" is not descriptive enough | 04:15 |
| Titanium | i am tryign to partition this, but i do not see an option for GPT versus MBR in the installer GUI where i setupo my partitions. How do I do this? | 04:15 |
| zexcriz_ | reisio, ok :) | 04:15 |
| reisio | totesmuhgoats: it's safe but that's probably not the most proper way | 04:15 |
| Dr_Willis | you can use echo to send stuff to a serial port if you wanted to tfdl i imagine most languages got wyas to open serial devices. I dont code much these days | 04:15 |

| molly_ | hi everybody! i have a hopefully quick question to ask: i am trying to install ubuntu on a netbook without a CDrom drive and no USB stick with more than 1.91G of space | 04:17 |
| molly_ | i guess basically my qusetion is 'how i shot install' | 04:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Titanium: i think you would use gparted to set the drives partion table type , befor you partion | 04:18 |
| reisio | molly_: 1.91 should be enough for the install image | 04:18 |
| MichaelP | how do i get compiz fusion icon to start on the unity panel ? | 04:18 |
| Dr_Willis | molly_: lubuntu can fit on a 1gb usb stick i think also | 04:18 |
| reisio | molly_: http://unetbootin.sf.net/ | 04:18 |
| molly_ | oh thank goodness | 04:18 |
| tfdl | reisio: first install GtkTerm, from command line open the gui by issuing gtkterm command, gtkterm gui will open then on control signal drop down menu select send a hex string, then at the bottom of the screen enter the hex string then press enter to send to hex string to the serial. the default configuration of the ports is ok to start. | 04:18 |
| zykotick9 | reisio: ahhh default ubuntu won't fint on 2G... | 04:19 |
| reisio | MichaelP: apt-cache search fusion | grep -i icon | 04:19 |
| reisio | zykotick9: really? | 04:19 |
| Dr_Willis | MichaelP: what do you want a 'compiz fusion' icon to do? | 04:19 |
| MichaelP | Dr_Willis, so i can choose between compiz or what ever | 04:20 |
| reisio | zykotick9: think molly just wants to install -from- a usb stick | 04:20 |
| zykotick9 | reisio: oh, they don't mean at the target? ya, certainly for install media that would work! | 04:20 |
| reisio | MichaelP: fusion-icon is a separate package | 04:20 |
| reisio | zykotick9: I'm thinkin' | 04:20 |
| molly_ | yes | 04:20 |

| reisio | molly_: also there are "minimalcd" images, which if you had even less stick space you could use, but needn't ATM :) | 04:20 |
| Dr_Willis | fusion-icon is most likely an Indicator-applet that would show up at the top-right. not in the left side panel | 04:21 |
| molly_ | awesome! that link you gave me already has me feeling a bit more hopeful :) | 04:21 |
| MichaelP | reisio, i know compiz fusion icon is seperate i installed it.. but it wont lunch | 04:22 |
| reisio | MichaelP: how have you tried to make it launch? | 04:22 |
| MichaelP | reisio, by clicking on it.... i know when its in panel you right click | 04:23 |
| reisio | MichaelP: you click on it and attempt to do what? | 04:23 |
| tfdl | reisio: first install GtkTerm, from command line open the gui by issuing gtkterm command, gtkterm gui will open then on view drop down menu select send a hex string, then at the bottom of the screen enter the hex string then press enter to send to hex string to the serial. the default configuration of the ports is ok to start. | 04:24 |

| Dr_Willis | Titanium: alt-ctrl-f1 to get to console. or use the 'try ubuntu' option and use gparted befor you start the installer | 04:25 |
| Dr_Willis | or use gparted from a differnt live cd to partion as you want,. then boot the ubuntu install cd | 04:25 |
| MichaelP | reisio, tring to activarte compiz | 04:25 |
| MichaelP | apt-cache search fusion | grep -i icon | 04:25 |

| reisio | MichaelP: what makes you think compiz isn't already running? | 04:26 |
| Dr_Willis | a try icon - may be outdated. most things use the indicator-applet method not 'system tray' | 04:26 |
| Dr_Willis | ive not seen people useing 'fusion-icon' in ages. not needed it here in years. | 04:26 |
| MichaelP | reisio, can't get ccsm to do anything | 04:27 |
| reisio | MichaelP: mmm, you might need to install compiz proper, and run compiz --replace first | 04:27 |
| Dr_Willis | MichaelP: try 'compiz --replace' that should insure that compiz is running. | 04:27 |
| reisio | not quite sure how Unity works | 04:27 |
| Dr_Willis | MichaelP: what ubuntu release are you using? | 04:27 |
| zykotick9 | reisio: currently, Unity is a compiz plugin... | 04:28 |
| Tweak_ | Hello, new user to Ubuntu. Just upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 then 13.04. On the last upgrade my USB doesn't seem to be working, and I can't use my USB keyboard and mouse. Any ideas on how I can fix this? I don't have an older ps2 keyboard and mouse. | 04:28 |
| MichaelP | Dr_Willis, 13.04. | 04:28 |
| Dr_Willis | MichaelP: so on a normal ubuntu unity desktop. if you got proper window decorations, then compiz most likely is running. | 04:29 |
| reisio | zykotick9: mmhmm, but that doesn't mean someone didn't run cp compiz unity to make it happen :p | 04:29 |
| reisio | as I said, I'm simply unfamiliar with it | 04:29 |
| MichaelP | Dr_Willis, is there a run command thing in unity.... a ran compiz --replace... but as soon as i close terminal it goes back to normal | 04:29 |
| * reisio believes in possibilities | 04:30 | |
| Dr_Willis | MichaelP: dont use the CLOSE button. use the exit command. | 04:30 |
| Dr_Willis | MichaelP: compiz --replace & | 04:30 |
| Dr_Willis | exit | 04:30 |
| zykotick9 | reisio: oh, i'm not "familiar" with unity either. but i've heard things ;) | 04:30 |

| tfdl | reisio: first install GtkTerm, from command line open the gui by issuing gtkterm command, gtkterm gui will open then on view drop down menu select send a hex string, then at the bottom of the screen enter the hex string then press enter to send to hex string to the serial. the default configuration of the ports is ok to start. | 04:31 |
| OldTexas | ] | 04:32 |
| Dr_Willis | tfdl: if you want to send a string to the serial port. You can do that via (old skool way) sudo echo 'string' > /dev/whatevertheserialdeviceis | 04:32 |
| MichaelP | Dr_Willis, terminal compiz --replace & works... but file close and it goes back to normal desktop | 04:32 |
| reisio | tfdl: right sorry | 04:32 |
| reisio | tfdl: sounds like Dr_Willis has your number | 04:33 |
| reisio | MichaelP: nohup compiz --replace > /dev/null & | 04:33 |
| tfdl | reisio n/p. | 04:33 |
| reisio | or just use ALT+F2, as said | 04:33 |
| Dr_Willis | MichaelP: 'file close' means what? try alt-f2 and 'compiz --replace' | 04:33 |
| Dr_Willis | or just log out abd back in. l;) | 04:33 |
| MichaelP | Dr_Willis, menu on terminal... file button then close | 04:33 |
| Dr_Willis | MichaelP: DONT use the terminal close button.. use the exit command as i said eralier. | 04:34 |
| Dr_Willis | or just leave the silly terminal open ;) | 04:34 |
| tfdl | Dr_Willis: i tried that but it does not work. because i think sending a hex number is not the same as sending the string. Is there a way you can send a hex via this old skool way? Thanks Dr_Willis! | 04:34 |
| Rallias | Wait... why would you recommend against using the close button? | 04:35 |
| MichaelP | That is why i want the fusion icon | 04:35 |
| Dr_Willis | 'compiz --replace', then 'exit' normall works for me | 04:35 |
| TehSuckij | yoyo | 04:35 |
| Dr_Willis | tfdl: no idea. convert your hex to ascii string perhaps | 04:35 |
| tfdl | ah | 04:35 |
| tfdl | not a bad idea | 04:35 |
| Dr_Willis | tfdl: or use perl or python that can print 'hex' output | 04:36 |
| tfdl | can you point me to a documentation? | 04:36 |
| tfdl | Dr_Willis? | 04:36 |
| Dr_Willis | perl.org ? | 04:36 |
| Tweak_ | I just upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 then 13.04. On the last upgrade my USB doesn't seem to be working, and I can't use my USB keyboard and mouse. Any ideas on how I can fix this? I don't have an older ps2 keyboard and mouse. | 04:36 |
| Dr_Willis | all the docs on perl should be there somewhere. ;) | 04:36 |
| tfdl | ok | 04:36 |
| tfdl | thanks Dr_Willis. | 04:37 |
| Dr_Willis | python.org for python | 04:37 |
| tfdl | ok | 04:37 |
| tfdl | i will try there thanks again! | 04:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Tweak_: the keybaord works in the grub menus? | 04:37 |
| Rallias | Tweak_, Did you try hotplugging it? | 04:39 |
| Tweak_ | Dr_Willis, I dont have a grub menu I dont think, I don't dual boot. It works in bios. | 04:40 |
| Dr_Willis | be back in a bit. | 04:40 |
| Tweak_ | Rallias: If hot plugging it means unplug and plug it back in the answer is yes. | 04:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Tweak_: you do have a grub if you are usi9ng ubuntu. Its hidden by default - Press and hold SHIFT to see if it appear | 04:40 |
| zykotick9 | Tweak_: i think you'll find, that that isn't uncommon with ubuntu "upgrades". i'd guess most "experineced" ubuntu-users do fresh installs. best of luck. | 04:40 |
| Tweak_ | Ok Dr_Willis I will try that, thank you. | 04:41 |
| Dr_Willis | or once the system boots. ssh in and see if you can fix the grub /etc/default/grub file to make grub NOT be hidden. | 04:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Tweak_: then you can try the text mode option to see if they work oin the console | 04:41 |
| Tweak_ | Ohhhh Ok, I will just do a fresh install then. I installed 12.04 2 days ago, I can reinstall the apps. | 04:41 |
| Rallias | Dr_Willis, Calling you on that one... SSH isn't installed by default on desktops. | 04:41 |
| * Dr_Willis hates grub auto-hideing | 04:41 | |
| Dr_Willis | Rallias: hes done 3 upgrades in a row.. its likelyhe has installed a lot of things | 04:42 |
| Dr_Willis | i never said it was installed by default. ;) i said its a way to alter the file if he has no keyboard. | 04:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Tweak_: also check if the led/light is on - when the system boots - on the mouse.. had someone in here the other day with a weird issue with no power to the mouse. | 04:43 |
| Tweak_ | The mouse is on, but the keyboard wont do num lock. | 04:43 |
| Dr_Willis | just numlock is not working? | 04:43 |
| Tweak_ | Well, none of the keyboard keys are working, nor the mouse, but the mouse LED is on. | 04:44 |
| Rallias | Did you try plugging it into separate hubs? | 04:44 |
| Tweak_ | It was working in 12.10. But no worries, I am just going to wipe and do a fresh install of 13 | 04:44 |
| Dr_Willis | i will bbl. ) | 04:44 |
| Tweak_ | Yes, I tried front and rear ports. | 04:44 |

| archangle25 | hi - ok so ive installed 12.0.4 latest core and then installed xfce4 via command line. what is the package name for the ubuntu software centre please so i can install that? | 05:01 |
| Hundred | archangle25 did you try installing Xubuntu? | 05:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Hundred: theres dozens of blog sites and articals out about what it does. It sends ANONYMOUS info and returns search results | 05:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Hundred: if you dont want it doing it.. you can turn it off. | 05:02 |
| wilee-nilee | archangle25, If your trying to do a trim install the software center is not really part of that. | 05:02 |
| archangle25 | Hundred, no i just installed the basic via net install, then xfce4 | 05:02 |
| archangle25 | its really just for steam client so i guess i could install it manually | 05:03 |
| Dr_Willis | archangle25: getting the latest steam .deb package maybe a lot easier ;) | 05:03 |
| Dr_Willis | !steam | 05:03 |
| ubottu | Valve have officially announced that they are developing Steam and are working with !ubuntu during their development, see http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/steamd-penguins/ for further details, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve for install instructions, you can also join #ubuntu-steam for discussion. | 05:03 |
| Dr_Willis | archangle25: theres also a steam-desktop package that makes a login session that starts up steam directly | 05:04 |
| archangle25 | Dr_Willis, oh thats what i want | 05:05 |

| jnhghy | any idea? | 05:16 |
| Dr_Willis | try pinging via ip# ie: ping 8.8.8.8 | 05:17 |
| Dr_Willis | if name dont work. but ip does -> points to a dns issue | 05:17 |
| SupaSol | Hello here | 05:17 |
| Dr_Willis | irc client may be cacheing the ip's | 05:17 |
| jnhghy | Dr_Willis: ping 8.8.8.8 rezulted in a Destination host unreacheble... | 05:20 |
| Dr_Willis | that points to a gateway or router issue | 05:21 |
| Dr_Willis | does it just fail for a short amount of time? | 05:21 |
| jnhghy | Dr_Willis: and now everything is back to normal ... | 05:21 |
| Dr_Willis | 8.8.8.8 is googles main dns server - ;) | 05:21 |
| Dr_Willis | this is a wireless network? | 05:22 |
| jnhghy | Dr_Willis: I understand, what is strange is that if I refresh/try to connect for a couple of minutes... then it starts working, I'm on cable but also have a wifi as backup (it shows connected) | 05:23 |
| Dr_Willis | keep ping going in a terminal window. see if you can catch when it goes down/back up. | 05:23 |
| Dr_Willis | ive een some people use that ping method to keep connections active. ;) but notmally thats just needed for some weird wifi setups | 05:24 |
| speedfire_laptop | Hi, anyone have an ide about how to install bumblebee primus under unbuntu 12.04 LTS ? | 05:24 |
| Dr_Willis | there should be guides on installing bumblebee on the askubuntu.com site and the forums. | 05:25 |
| Dr_Willis | i dont use the stuff - rarely see much mor epeople talk abouit here - other then to say to follow the guides | 05:26 |
| ak5 | can someone help me debug this error? | 05:26 |
| ak5 | https://gist.github.com/alexanderververis/2405a0fa55fd995e394f | 05:26 |

| speedfire_laptop | Dr_Willis but you knowm each time I am following a guide I got problems, I have try with debian Jessie, debian Wheezy, and now ubuntu :s | 05:28 |
| sepero | ak5: uninstall scrapy-0.15 | 05:28 |
| ak5 | sepero: why is it not overwriting simply? | 05:28 |
| sepero | ak5: i do not know. perhaps it is from a ppa | 05:29 |

| nothingnesss | Hi i'm going to be setting up RAID1 with 2 drives on an ubuntu install with mdadm. I'm seeing a lot of guides but a lot are outdated. Can somebody maybe recommend me one that worked well for them or an official ubuntu one pleasE? | 05:30 |
| sepero | ak5: they can, but ppa's are more likely to have bugs than oficial | 05:31 |
| ak5 | sepero: I understand. Since I have tested this particular package, is there anyway short of -f that I can get apt to just install the package? | 05:31 |
| === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away | ||
| Dr_Willis | !pin | 05:32 |
| ubottu | pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 05:32 |
| ak5 | ok, thanks | 05:32 |
| sepero | ak5: if you force installed it, you would have scrapy-0.15 and scrapy-0.17 installed, and that could cause conflict. are you trying to install both? | 05:32 |
| ak5 | I am really confused why scrapy-0.15 is even included | 05:33 |
| sepero | ak5: perhaps try: sudo apt-get install scrapyd-0.17 scrapyd-0.15- | 05:34 |
| nothingnesss | Would this guide be safe to try on a 12.04 ? https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/advanced-installation.html | 05:36 |
| Dr_Willis | nothingnesss: what part of it? | 05:37 |
| nothingnesss | Dr_Willis: I'm going to be doing a fresh RAID1 install with mdadm on ubuntu 12.04. I just want a good guide to follow that's been tried and tested on 12.04. | 05:38 |
| nothingnesss | I've used my BIOS RAID and it's crap so I want to get this right with mdadm now. | 05:38 |
| Dr_Willis | No idea on raid and mdadm ;) i stay away from fancy things like that | 05:38 |
| reisio | raid was invented by hard disk manufacturers | 05:39 |

| penguiRaider | hello what does the error "held broken packages" mean ? Sorry if it is a very basic question . | 06:00 |
| sepero | penguiRaider: there are packages that have not been modified because of conflicts | 06:01 |
| === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob | ||
| penguiRaider | sepero : can an upgrade of distro be a reason for that conflict? | 06:02 |
| sepero | penguiRaider: sometimes packages can't be removed because other packages depend on them. sometimes 2 packages can't be installed because they conflict with each other. your situation sounds like the second case | 06:03 |
| sepero | penguiRaider: yes it can | 06:04 |
| penguiRaider | Sepero : Is there there a way for apt-get to take care of it by itself ? Or do I have to manually remove the conflicting packages? | 06:06 |
| Dr_Willis | may be easeir to remove the conflict - depending on what you need. | 06:07 |
| sepero | ^^ | 06:08 |
| Dr_Willis | most of the thme when i see th eissue. they are conflicting over a trivial file. but it can depend on what you are installing | 06:08 |
| sepero | penguiRaider: it could mean a lot of things | 06:08 |
| sepero | penguiRaider: there may be some packages installed that you don't need anymore, or they just don't work with newer packages | 06:09 |
| sepero | penguiRaider: I'd need to see the full output to give you a more clear answer | 06:12 |

| sepero | penguiRaider: Dr_Willis could be right | 06:17 |

| Dr_Willis | Wiz_KeeD: and what are you wanting to change? | 07:10 |
| Wiz_KeeD | display terminal infromation from the seccond I boot ubuntu :) | 07:10 |
| Dr_Willis | and that setting is what one? | 07:10 |
| Dr_Willis | you want to use text mode? or what exactly? | 07:10 |
| Wiz_KeeD | That's what I don't know, doesn't appear to be there | 07:10 |
| Wiz_KeeD | if that's what it means yeah I guess | 07:10 |
| Dr_Willis | 'quiet splash' -> try 'noquiet nosplash text nofb' in that file and rerun 'sudo update-grub' | 07:11 |
| Wiz_KeeD | and uncomment it? are you sure? | 07:12 |
| === jack is now known as Guest49781 | ||
| Dr_Willis | no.. you Change the line | 07:13 |
| Dr_Willis | it should allready be uncommented as far as i have seen | 07:14 |
| wiiw | Dr_Willis: how to boot like gentoo : xxx ... [ok] | 07:14 |
| Dr_Willis | wiiw: no idea. gentoo uses radically differnt boot scripts. | 07:14 |
| wiiw | oh. | 07:14 |
| Wiz_KeeD | what is this? Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.8.0-30-generic | 07:15 |
| Dr_Willis | GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="noquiet nosplash nofb text" | 07:15 |
| sepero | Wiz_KeeD: You can add the line Dr_Willis wrote at the end of the file | 07:16 |
| Wiz_KeeD | i just changed that one | 07:16 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I'll reboot to see what happens | 07:16 |
| Dr_Willis | that file seems to have been altered its not looking like my ubuntu default /etc/default/grub | 07:16 |
| sepero | Wiz_KeeD: ok. it obviously can't have # at the front | 07:16 |
| Dr_Willis | did you rerun update-grub? | 07:16 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I have commented that Dr_Willis | 07:16 |
| Wiz_KeeD | yes sir | 07:16 |
| wiiw | Dr_Willis: need put nofb before text ? | 07:17 |
| Dr_Willis | dosent matter | 07:18 |
| Dr_Willis | nofb = disables the framebuffer | 07:19 |
| IamTrying | Is this package applicable for 64-bit, no description showing either is it 32/ or 64-bit? "apt-cache show linux-headers-3.2.0-41" | 07:21 |
| fidel | i need to check a local html file if all hrefs have valid/existing targets. any idea how to do so? i.e. using lynx or similar? | 07:22 |
| Dr_Willis | !headers | 07:22 |
| ubottu | To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages | 07:22 |
| IamTrying | Dr_Willis, i am in a kernel 3.5 i know kernel 3.5 crashing my system and i know 3.2.0.-41 is the stable for my can and i know that i have to install. So image is installed | 07:23 |
| IamTrying | Dr_Willis, but my uname -a is still showing 3.5 | 07:23 |
| IamTrying | Dr_Willis, if i now do apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) that is wrong in my case | 07:24 |
| IamTrying | Because i do not want to live in 3.5 kernel | 07:24 |
| IamTrying | my kernel is 3.2 | 07:24 |
| Wiz_KeeD | thank God i've learned a little bit of linux otherwise I would have been in the sack now | 07:25 |
| Wiz_KeeD | It stopped loading the GUI and I was faced with just the terminal | 07:26 |
| IamTrying | Is this correct to have 3.2 ? $ apt-get install linux-image-3.2.0-41-generic linux-headers-3.2.0-41-generic linux-headers-3.2.0-41 | 07:26 |
| IamTrying | Cause last time ikonia instructed me and it was failed | 07:26 |
| Wiz_KeeD | haha :)) | 07:26 |
| IamTrying | :) | 07:26 |
| Dr_Willis | uname -r prints out the version # | 07:27 |
| Dr_Willis | so replace it with whatever # you need | 07:28 |
| sepero | Wiz_KeeD: sudo nano /etc/default/grub | 07:28 |
| IamTrying | OK - Dr_Willis , last question bugging my brain. Why would i install in 64-bit Ubuntu this two packages? linux-headers-3.2.0-41-generic linux-headers-3.2.0-41 | 07:28 |
| Wiz_KeeD | nah, to hell with that sepero i'm done :)) | 07:28 |
| Dr_Willis | Wiz_KeeD: thats what text mode does. | 07:28 |
| sepero | Wiz_KeeD: kk | 07:28 |
| Dr_Willis | !text | 07:28 |
| 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 | 07:28 |
| Dr_Willis | Wiz_KeeD: "text only mode" :) 'sudo service lightdm' to start lightdm | 07:28 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I just wanted the gui to stop showing on boot so I get the loading ... [OK]. which i did get but not instantly, there was a 3 seccond pause with the purple background until that came in | 07:29 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I just commented the line leave it be XD | 07:29 |
| sepero | Dr_Willis: I think Wiz_KeeD just wants to see linux kernel and bootup info, then boot into regular xwindows | 07:29 |
| Wiz_KeeD | yep that is...not sure about the xwindows, what's that? :)) | 07:30 |
| Dr_Willis | lightdm is a service and CAN start up befor you have all the boot messages | 07:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Wiz_KeeD: sounds like you sould go play/learn up on some more basic stuff of linux. :) and leave twiddling with things that canbreak your system for later. | 07:30 |
| sepero | Wiz_KeeD: xwindows/xorg/xserver = unity or kde or whatever desktop | 07:30 |
| Wiz_KeeD | heh, yeah i'm good for now :) | 07:31 |
| Dr_Willis | grub2 is worth reading up on and learning however. just in case | 07:31 |
| Dr_Willis | but it can get rather obscure if you dont understand the other parts of the syste | 07:31 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Still got a lot to learn, but at least I have a somewhat decent base | 07:31 |
| Dr_Willis | system | 07:31 |
| Wiz_KeeD | And I'm not toally lost when something bad happens, can track it down a bit and all that | 07:31 |
| Dr_Willis | my ssd based system boots so fast i cant even read the messages | 07:32 |
| Wiz_KeeD | hahah :)) | 07:32 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Yeah, I'd love a ssd as well :-< | 07:32 |
| Dr_Willis | the bios takes longer to post.. | 07:32 |
| sepero | Wiz_KeeD: if you're not afraid of the terminal, you're already ahead of most ppl | 07:32 |
| Wiz_KeeD | nah, i love the terminal, would use as often as possible :X | 07:32 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I don't even edit files in gui, i like to vim :X | 07:32 |
| IamTrying | Is this the correct line? set timeout=${GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT:--1} | 07:32 |
| IamTrying | set timeout=${GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT:--1} to set -0 ? | 07:33 |
| sepero | I used to be an emacs pro. Nowadays I just use nano lol | 07:33 |
| ihre | vim <3 | 07:34 |
| makara | hi. If I place a window using a keyboard shortcut (ccsm, grid utility), then when I press F11 to fullscreen, it doesn't work. If I place the window, stretch it slightly, and then F11, it goes into fullscreen fine. | 07:34 |
| makara | sepero, I use a command line and geany | 07:35 |
| sepero | geany <3 | 07:36 |
| sepero | ;) | 07:36 |
| IamTrying | Everytime i boot, system boot to MemTest86 v4.20 not Ubuntu. And if i press shift key i do not get GRUB | 07:37 |
| sepero | makara: it would seem to be a bug where your window manager is intercepting the F11 key | 07:37 |
| IamTrying | set timeout=${GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT:--1} to set timeout=${GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT:-0} and update-grub | 07:37 |
| IamTrying | How can i go to Grub and boot in Ubuntu ? | 07:37 |
| IamTrying | This happen Twice , ikonia and now myself again. Its a BUG in Grub menu selection. | 07:38 |
| Dr_Willis | only time ive seen it boot to memtest by default is when someone accidently removed all their kernels ;0 | 07:39 |
| sepero | IamTrying: perhaps remove memtest from the boot list? | 07:39 |
| Dr_Willis | press and hold shft.. or set the grub configs to not auto-hide grub | 07:39 |
| IamTrying | Dr_Willis, no i have not removed kernel, i switch the Debug kernel boot to value 3 which is my kernel 3.2 not memtest | 07:39 |
| IamTrying | sepero, ? how ? i have every boot instantly MemTest86 scree | 07:40 |
| Dr_Willis | grub starts counting at 0 for that - dosent it? so 3 would be the 4th menu utem | 07:40 |
| IamTrying | sepero, ? how ? i have every boot instantly MemTest86 screen, no boot menu | 07:40 |
| Dr_Willis | or sm i backwards on that | 07:40 |
| sepero | Dr_Willis: i believe you are correct | 07:40 |
| IamTrying | Dr_Willis, even my 3 was wrong it should have booted in Ubuntu 3.2 recovery mood not memtest | 07:41 |
| Dr_Willis | you should still get the grub menu if you press and hold shift | 07:41 |
| IamTrying | Dr_Willis, this is not first time it failed, ikonia also have seen this and myself i have done this and its like 10th time the boot failed and booting to wrong kernel or boot menu. Is this a BUG? | 07:41 |
| IamTrying | Dr_Willis, that is the problem i am not getting Grub menu before reboot i did this: set timeout=${GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT:-0} | 07:42 |
| Dr_Willis | ive never sene it happen tome. and cant recall seeing anyone else mention it in here | 07:43 |
| IamTrying | 1) reboot 2) pressing brute force shift key or holding shift key 3) still boot to Memtest86 | 07:43 |
| IamTrying | How can i on this situation get Grub screen at-least which is not showing at all ? | 07:44 |
| Dr_Willis | so you used the bash command 'set timeout ......' but dident rerun 'sudo update-grub' ? | 07:44 |
| IamTrying | Dr_Willis, i did update-grub after changing the /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/00_header | 07:44 |
| sepero | IamTrying: Remove memtest? http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/17787/clean-up-the-new-ubuntu-grub2-boot-menu/ | 07:44 |
| Dr_Willis | perhaps it would be best to use a live cd and change them back. and be sure grub is unhidden | 07:45 |
| IamTrying | sepero, GOD, i wish i can at-least get the GRUB Screen first. Without that screen i cant do anything. | 07:45 |

| IamTrying | Dr_Willis, Can you please advise so as of this moment 1) i am putting LiveCD now 2) what next? i do not want to lose my whole existing setup in the disk | 07:46 |
| Dr_Willis | you dont losoe your setup because of grub.. you fix grub. ;) | 07:46 |
| Dr_Willis | there should be some guides on reinstalling grub from a live cd. or restore the files and use the boot-repair tool | 07:47 |
| Dr_Willis | !fixboot | 07:47 |
| Dr_Willis | !fixgrub | 07:47 |
| 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 | 07:47 |
| sepero | !fixgrub | 07:47 |
| IamTrying | Dr_Willis, again wired. 1) i put CD-ROM liveCD 2) it straight showing me booting to Ubuntu in LiveCD | 07:47 |
| IamTrying | Dr_Willis, should i boot in LiveCD or i should had a Grub screen of LiveCD? | 07:47 |
| Dr_Willis | live cd dosent have a grub screen as far as i know. | 07:48 |
| Dr_Willis | its using syslinux | 07:48 |
| IamTrying | OK - Thank you Dr_Willis it was perfect instructions, which i was unable to fix this issue and was very confusing. now clear thank you, have a nice morning. | 07:49 |

| kristal | I have 2 programs installed, when i run foo in terminal is runs bar but I want foo to run... how do I get the right bin to fire off i set .bashrc and that did nothing even though if i echo the value it's right | 07:52 |
| bazhang | !details | kristal | 07:52 |
| ubottu | kristal: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 07:52 |
| Dr_Willis | give the full path to the one yu want to run? | 07:52 |
| vlt | kristal: First check with `which foo` | 07:52 |
| Dr_Willis | 'set .bashrc to do/be what exactly? | 07:53 |
| kristal | The program that runs when i run foo is in the place basically all bins are, /bin, but I want to run a bin from /home/me/project/bin | 07:54 |
| aeon-ltd | talkin bout alias? | 07:54 |
| kristal | I need to toggle between the two | 07:54 |
| aeon-ltd | kristal: why don't you just have different names? | 07:54 |
| kristal | aeon-ltd: Because software/script expects a specific name. | 07:54 |
| Dr_Willis | kristal: set your PATH to have the one you want first.. be the first in the path. OR set an alias of the same name to point to the exact full path | 07:55 |
| kristal | I'm making a drop-in replacement and right now i'm moving the bin back and fourth by hand... | 07:55 |
| Dr_Willis | then change the alias as needed | 07:55 |
| sepero | kristal: temporary solution: alias name="/home/me/project/bin/name" | 07:55 |
| kristal | Hmm, I guess I could just script an alias toggle... | 07:56 |
| Dr_Willis | alias an alias toggle | 07:56 |
| sepero | kristal: Whichever path you put first in $PATH is the first that will be called | 07:56 |
| Dr_Willis | ;) | 07:56 |
| kristal | Dr_Willis: lol yup, alias an alias toggle which checks the alias against my desired alias... | 07:57 |
| Dr_Willis | or make a soft link, in your bin that you change | 07:57 |
| Dr_Willis | but that would affect all shells. an alias would be localized to the current shell | 07:58 |
| kristal | hmm... could toggle a symlink, but if the package updates that'd break things | 07:58 |
| CoUbuntu | Hello is this the right place for asking about ubuntu server? | 07:59 |
| aeon-ltd | #ubuntu-server | 07:59 |
| aeon-ltd | CoUbuntu: no, see above | 07:59 |
| auronandace | aeon-ltd: here is acceptable too | 08:00 |

| kristal | Soo SteamOS seems to be an Ubuntu distro... brace for millions of questions | 08:06 |
| starnix | Is there anyway to install gnome 3.10 on ubuntu 13.04? | 08:06 |
| bazhang | kristal, no its not | 08:06 |
| aeon-ltd | that was fast | 08:06 |
| auronandace | starnix: probaby but it isn't supported here | 08:06 |
| kristal | starnix: There's a PPA but it's kinda broken, although it works for 13.10, and will work great on 14.04 | 08:06 |
| aeon-ltd | starnix: should be | 08:06 |
| bazhang | starnix, it's still 3.8 | 08:06 |
| kristal | Ubuntu-gnome beta has .10.... i think | 08:07 |
| kristal | nops it's .8 | 08:07 |
| aeon-ltd | starnix: if anything anything is installable with the right dependencies it just gets harder to. official repos --> ppas --> pre compiled debs/scripts --> compiliatiion | 08:07 |

| IamTrying | Dr_Willis, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6157801/ - Thank you this was your guide which fixed the problem. | 08:08 |
| IamTrying | ikonia, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6157801/ - here this was your fault you have made me confused to select 2 or 4 , you should have mentioned me how to count the menu | 08:10 |
| Dr_Willis | changes update-grub && update-grub2 <<<--- those 2 commands do the same thing. I think one is an alias to the other ;) | 08:10 |
| IamTrying | Dr_Willis, OK but system making user confuse which one to use. If you boot the Grub version show not Grub2 | 08:11 |
| Dr_Willis | somt things in grub2 count starting with 0.. some start with 1. its a little bit confuseing at times | 08:11 |
| kristal | So is Ubuntu going 3.12 or kernel 3.11... i hear 3.11 has some pretty nippy bugs | 08:11 |
| IamTrying | Dr_Willis, then as a user point of view its confusing which one to always use | 08:11 |

| caraconan | Hi there. Can somebody please clarify what will happen in my case if I run 'sudo do-release-upgrade'? http://paste.debian.net/46339/ Apparently my ubuntu server is up to date | 08:52 |
| ActionParsnip | jokoon: why use it when software centre is default installed? | 08:52 |
| ActionParsnip | caraconan: you will upgrade to the next release | 08:52 |
| kristal | ActionParsnip: I can guess - synaptic is a very powerful tool compared to software centre. | 08:52 |
| jokoon | ActionParsnip, eclipse cdt is not in software centre | 08:52 |
| ActionParsnip | caraconan: if you are on LTS, it wil search for the next LTS, assuming you haven't edittedc configs | 08:53 |
| kristal | caraconan: Do you have PPAs? | 08:53 |
| ActionParsnip | kristal: they both install and remove packages, how is on more powerful? | 08:53 |
| caraconan | PPA? I don't know sorry | 08:53 |
| jokoon | kristal, it worked before, why doesn't it now ? | 08:53 |
| ActionParsnip | jokoon: synaptic uses the same package system as software centre | 08:53 |
| caraconan | At the moment the only thing I did is to manually upgrade packages, nothing else | 08:53 |
| levo | kristal: datarecovery - usb disk - fat32 | 08:54 |
| caraconan | My current version is Ubuntu server 12.04 (Quantal) | 08:54 |
| RogueCoder | hello | 08:54 |
| reisio | 'lo | 08:54 |
| Timtimo | but i cant reinstall it another time .8 | 08:54 |
| kristal | caraconan: If you have any custom repos you'd have to update them before dist upgrading... you know the next LTS is 14.04, really nice, 6 months away though... | 08:54 |
| jokoon | ActionParsnip, I cant find eclipse cdt with the lubuntu software centre | 08:54 |
| cfhowlett | caraconan: false. 12.04 is NOT quantal. verify your data | 08:54 |
| Timtimo | :( | 08:54 |
| cfhowlett | !quantal | 08:54 |
| ubottu | 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) was the 17th release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ - Release Notes: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1204 | 08:54 |
| caraconan | Wel,, 12.10 then | 08:55 |
| caraconan | lsb_release is not working | 08:55 |
| kristal | levo: check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery for some info | 08:56 |
| ActionParsnip | caraconan: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 08:56 |
| kristal | levo: Also, before you mess with recovery, you may want to rip the raw data from the drive. | 08:56 |
| Timtimo | So I'm back guys | 08:57 |
| Timtimo | Is there another way to set the menus transparent | 08:57 |
| Timtimo | ? | 08:57 |
| caraconan | Ubuntu 12.10 \n \l | 08:57 |
| kristal | jokoon: Are there any processes running that use the package manager? sometimes that prevents syn from running, try starting it from terminal, report result | 08:57 |
| ActionParsnip | caraconan: then it's quantal. quantal is not LTS | 08:58 |
| ActionParsnip | caraconan: if you run: sudo do-release-upgrade you will upgrade to Raring which is EOL in January 2014, Quantal is EOL in July 2014. | 08:59 |
| ActionParsnip | caraconan: strange you are not using 12.04 for a server | 08:59 |
| ActionParsnip | caraconan: 12.04 is LTS and EOL in April 2017 | 08:59 |
| cfhowlett | caraconan: LTS is highly preferred for server use ... | 09:00 |
| caraconan | ActionParsnip: thanks, I need to learn a little bit more about Ubuntu release policies | 09:00 |
| kristal | LTS is great for server, but sometimes you need the newer software... | 09:00 |
| caraconan | So if I don't move my release, in Feb 2014 if I try a package upgrade nothing will happen, right? | 09:01 |
| ActionParsnip | caraconan: every 2 years in APril there is an LTS | 09:01 |
| ActionParsnip | caraconan: you can upgrade from 13.04 t 13.10 next month, then to 14.04 LTS in April next year | 09:02 |
| caraconan | Thanks a lot everybody for the information | 09:02 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Easiest way to add a new user to sudoers? | 09:03 |
| Wiz_KeeD | and make a new user | 09:03 |
| RogueCoder | i'm having some issues here .. trying to install ssmtp but it's not really working out :P | 09:03 |
| RogueCoder | http://pastebin.com/C3zWgQpF here's my attempt | 09:03 |
| Wiz_KeeD | adduser user then adduser user sudo? | 09:03 |
| cfhowlett | !adduser|Wiz_KeeD: | 09:03 |
| ubottu | Wiz_KeeD:: To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "sudo" - See !sudo | 09:03 |
| RogueCoder | sais that libgnutls-openssl27 requires libgnutls26.. but libgnutls26 sais it's already up to date | 09:04 |
| RogueCoder | i've tried apt-get update && apt-get upgrade | 09:04 |
| cfhowlett | RogueCoder: apt-get dist-upgrade | 09:04 |
| Wiz_KeeD | now a better question, how do you rename a user? | 09:05 |
| RogueCoder | cfhowlett: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | 09:05 |
| SDr | hi, I've got nginx recompiled from source, however after system reboot, it's not coming up automagically, even though there's an nginx file in /etc/init.d any ideas what I should be poking at? | 09:10 |
| SDr | last line on boot screen is /etc/rc2.d/S21sendmail: 1287: /usr/sbin/sendmail-msp: not found | 09:10 |
| SDr | [ OK ] | 09:10 |
| SDr | /etc/init.d/nginx start works, though, so, wth? | 09:10 |
| omg_scout | SDr: stupid answer, but sometimes helps: did you enable the script? | 09:11 |
| SDr | omg_scout, what specifically do you mean by enable? | 09:11 |
| omg_scout | Did you add it to runlevel | 09:11 |
| Lunar_Lamp | SDr: just having a script in /etc/init.d will not autmatically start it at boot, you need to add that script to the relevant runlevel. | 09:11 |
| Wiz_KeeD | How do I permanently remove a user and it's home directory? | 09:12 |
| SDr | no. how can I do that? | 09:12 |
| omg_scout | SDr: update-rc.d nginx defaults | 09:12 |
| Lunar_Lamp | e.g. update-rc.d nginx defaults | 09:12 |
| Lunar_Lamp | (to add it to the default runlevels, which is most likely what you want) | 09:12 |
| SDr | System start/stop links for /etc/init.d/nginx already exist. | 09:12 |

| Psil0Cybin | hey guys how can i get wifi direct to work with ubuntu 12.04? | 09:14 |
| Psil0Cybin | i have a laptop and im connected to the wireless network | 09:14 |
| Psil0Cybin | i want to do this to transfer a file off my android to my laptop | 09:15 |
| jokoon | so ubuntu doesnt have a archive manager by default which supports 7z files | 09:19 |
| Wiz_KeeD | don't think so | 09:19 |
| reisio | jokoon: file-roller should just fine | 09:19 |
| DJones | !7zip | jokoon | 09:20 |
| ubottu | jokoon: Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression | 09:20 |
| reisio | and also probably ark and xarchiver | 09:20 |
| cfhowlett | Psil0Cybin: take the easy way. install airdroid on your phone and transfer away | 09:20 |
| RogueCoder | can it be that it doesn't want to install libgnutls26 2.12.20-7 because I have something depending on 2.12.14-5? | 09:20 |
| reisio | you would have to make sure p7zip were installed, of course | 09:20 |
| jokoon | I had many bugs with lubuntu, is lubuntu community supported ? what is a lxde distrib which has the best support ? | 09:21 |
| jokoon | for a macbook pro ? | 09:22 |
| Dr_Willis | lubuntu wull be an official LTS i think in the next lts cycle. | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | jokoon: install unp and you can extract archives with a single command | 09:22 |
| reisio | jokoon: bugs? | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | jokoon: you will need unace to extact ace files | 09:22 |
| Dr_Willis | cant say ive really noticed many bugs in lubuntu. ;) | 09:22 |
| Dr_Willis | cant think of any actually | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | <3 lubuntu | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: probably due to no Compiz stinking the place up | 09:23 |
| auscompgeek | yeah, that's pretty much why | 09:23 |
| jokoon | for example I wanted to install an additionnal driver, I had it stuck several times for no reasons | 09:23 |
| cfhowlett | !mac|jokoon: macs and ubuntu aren't always 100% .... not a bug, but the reality | 09:23 |
| ubottu | jokoon: macs and ubuntu aren't always 100% .... not a bug, but the reality: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 09:23 |
| reisio | haven't seen an ace file in ages | 09:23 |
| RogueCoder | when running apt-get check i doesn't give me any info about broken packages | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | reisio: yeah, used to be a thing in the early 2000s | 09:24 |
| jokoon | isn't a distrib which is recommended for macs ? | 09:24 |
| Dr_Willis | jokoon: use the jocky-cli app perhaps | 09:24 |
| ActionParsnip | RogueCoder: try: sudo apt-get -f install | 09:24 |
| reisio | jokoon: using any other DE with the same version of Ubuntu would've had the same driver issue, if indeed that's what it was | 09:24 |
| Dr_Willis | jokoon: or just determine the package name and use the package manager tool to install it | 09:24 |
| reisio | 7z supports so much that folk don't use anymore :) | 09:24 |
| jokoon | reisio, DE ? | 09:24 |
| reisio | desktop environment (LXDE, GNOME, KDE, etc.) | 09:24 |
| RogueCoder | keeps telling me I held broken packages, but apt-check returns nothing | 09:25 |
| jokoon | reisio, oh ok | 09:25 |
| jokoon | other question I had "france" in the repo download location, I can't put france back up, only download locartions under france | 09:26 |
| MACscr | Shouldnt these networkign settings work? http://hastebin.com/yanuriseyu.cpp. I just dont get why i cant access it through ssh anymore externally, but it can get to the internet fine through eth0. i didnt change any settings on eth0, just added settings for the secondary nic. | 09:26 |
| Psil0Cybin | thats it cfhowlett | 09:28 |
| Psil0Cybin | airdroid? | 09:28 |
| jokoon | other question: I use the touchpad, and often I touch it while typing and it messes up what I type, isn't there something to detect those mistakes ? under mac it doesn't happen... | 09:31 |
| cfhowlett | Psil0Cybin: yep. it's in google play sotre | 09:31 |
| cfhowlett | jokoon: you might be able to alter the keypad/mouse settings sensitivity | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | jokoon: thats because the MAc OS is designed specifically for your hardware | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | jokoon: its why you pay more for a mac | 09:32 |
| jokoon | ActionParsnip, I use the same macbook, isn't there a better driver for the touchpad ? | 09:33 |
| jokoon | or some settings in ubuntu | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip | jokoon: have you tried enabling the disable touchpad while I type | 09:33 |
| jokoon | where is this setting | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip | jokoon: under mouse settings maybe.... | 09:34 |
| Dr_Willis | ive seen 'disable touchpad on typing' but it dosent work on every laptop ive had ubuntu on | 09:34 |
| Dr_Willis | like this netbook. | 09:34 |
| jokoon | ActionParsnip, no it's not there | 09:34 |

| Ascavasaion | Latest LTS release is 13.04? How do I upgrade to it please? Thank you. | 09:36 |
| cfhowlett | !lts|Ascavasaion: | 09:37 |
| ubottu | Ascavasaion:: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 09:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Ascavasaion: 13.04 is not LTS | 09:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Ascavasaion: 13.04 is EOL in January 2014 | 09:37 |

| jokoon | seems hacky... :/ | 09:38 |
| cfhowlett | hello231: no problem .. | 09:38 |
| ActionParsnip | jokoon: how so? | 09:38 |
| jokoon | the shell script thing | 09:38 |
| ActionParsnip | jokoon: its a great feature so you dont accidently knock the touchpad while you are typing | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip | jokoon: how is that hacky? | 09:39 |
| jokoon | the link you gave me on webupd8 | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip | jokoon: its just a script that reads the state then turns the setting to the other option. How is that hacky? | 09:40 |
| ActionParsnip | jokoon: there is this which is prettier | 09:41 |
| jokoon | ask any non programmer. that's not a problem I'll try to do eithout | 09:41 |

| ActionParsnip | jokoon: is the indicator way 'hacky' as well? | 09:41 |
| jokoon | I want the touchpad to be disabled when I type | 09:42 |

| ActionParsnip | jokoon: search the web and you'll find guides | 09:43 |

| themill | quietone: don't make people wade through the same game again -- please offer information without people having to beg for it | 09:54 |
| babilen | quietone: And yes, we've been through all of this in #debian, just offer all information and links to the relevant pastebins upfront. ActionParsnip will appreciate it. | 09:55 |

| jokoon | well thanks for the help ! | 09:57 |

| BlitzHere | Do I enable the fix by just loading raring proposed repos? | 10:42 |
| BlitzHere | ANd doing an sudo apt-get upgrade? | 10:42 |
| kristal | BlitzHere: Maybe there's a PPA with it already compiled, proosed is a good place to look. | 10:42 |
| Dr_Willis | the fix should eventually make its way into the updated packages BlitzHere - it may not be in the current updates. it may take some time. | 10:43 |

| Dr_Willis | why would updateing things kill a system ;) | 10:46 |

| Dr_Willis | lesshaste: err.. the version # is the year/month of release | 10:53 |
| DJones | lesshaste: As the name says , 2014 Month 04 | 10:54 |
| Dr_Willis | No one ever notices that.. ;) | 10:54 |
| lesshaste | Dr_Willis, oh..thanks! | 10:54 |
| lesshaste | Dr_Willis, including me :) | 10:54 |
| lesshaste | DJones, thanks | 10:54 |
| Dr_Willis | now a dozen people will chime in.. 'Oh! so thats how they get those Numbers!' ;) | 10:54 |
| lesshaste | I want to upgrade to 64 bit which means I need to reinstall | 10:55 |
| lesshaste | how can I make sure not to wipe my /home ? | 10:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Back it up. ;) | 10:55 |
| Dr_Willis | and put it on a spare partion would be the best way | 10:55 |
| lesshaste | Dr_Willis, maybe it is on a spare partition already? How do I check? | 10:55 |

| Dr_Willis | see wht mount says | 10:56 |
| Dr_Willis | it dosent do that by default. unles syou specifcally told it to | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | lesshaste: did you make a separate partition for /home? | 10:56 |
| lesshaste | Dr_Willis, /dev/mapper/ubuntu-root on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro) I can't interpret this modern stuff :) | 10:56 |
| lesshaste | ActionParsnip, I can't remember.. it was a looooong time ago | 10:56 |
| ronin | ls -dv dir, gives 2:owner@:execute:allow, doesn anyone know what this number 2 is there | 10:56 |
| Dr_Willis | /dev/mapper? isent that some lvm/raid stuff? | 10:56 |
| lesshaste | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6158242/ | 10:56 |
| lesshaste | that's my mount | 10:56 |
| lesshaste | Dr_Willis, not raid for sure | 10:57 |
| Dr_Willis | thats you rmount for / not /home | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | lesshaste: mount will tell you, if not then mount the partition in liveCD and delete every folder except /home and install to the same partition but not set to format | 10:57 |
| Dr_Willis | if you are using LVM - i thought one feature of LVM was ease to resize the partions. but i dont use lvm. ;) | 10:57 |
| lesshaste | ActionParsnip, that is my mount http://paste.ubuntu.com/6158242/ | 10:57 |
| Dr_Willis | brb | 10:58 |
| lesshaste | Dr_Willis, right.. I though it was a clever idea at one point | 10:58 |
| biopyte | hi there ... i'm looking for a screenshot tool (or a trick) that allows be to define a fixed screenshot area size (e.g. 200x200). i have to make fixed sized screenshots everyday and want to avoid the scaling procedure over and over over again, if possible. any idea? | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | lesshaste: then you have one partition for / so you will need to arrange this as I said. Probably easiuer to just wipe clean, reinstall then restore user data from your backups | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | biopyte: imagemagick will probably be able to do it | 10:59 |
| biopyte | the standard gnome screenshot tool is a bit lightweighted. | 10:59 |
| lesshaste | ActionParsnip, I was hoping lvm could do something helpful | 10:59 |
| lesshaste | ActionParsnip, maybe not? | 10:59 |
| biopyte | ActionParsnip, thx i check it | 10:59 |
| Guest1361 | I want to have the folder /shared/invoices only available to the group finance. I want them to have rwx permissions and none else. How do I do that easiest way? | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | lesshaste: not used it | 11:00 |
| biopyte | ActionParsnip, besides, do we have any other power screenshot tools in the repositories? | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest1361: chown root:finance /shared/invoices; chmod 660 /shared/invoices | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | biopyte: yes but they will need mouse input, if this is ok then use them. Shutter is decent | 11:00 |
| lesshaste | ActionParsnip, no problem | 11:01 |
| biopyte | ok, shutter, thx | 11:01 |
| Guest1361 | Thanks. Can I add -R for recursively? | 11:01 |
| biopyte | mouse is ok, the area changes but not the size | 11:01 |
| === jack is now known as Guest93043 | ||

| Bo_DK | Hi | 11:04 |
| cfhowlett | Bo_DK: greetings | 11:05 |
| Bo_DK | sitting here and trying to get a python script running.... | 11:05 |
| metaphysician | I have an http server serving the contents of xubuntu-12.04.3-desktop-i386.iso. I am trying to install on a different machine on the same network. I entered manual mirror configuration, but the netboot installer says "failed to download a file from the mirror". /var/log/syslog says "WARNING bad d-i Packages file". | 11:05 |
| Bo_DK | been working at it for days | 11:05 |
| cfhowlett | Bo_DK: ask in #python | 11:05 |
| fire__ | why is that we install postfix and dovecat together and not just postfix ? | 11:05 |
| Bo_DK | cfhowlett: may i put up the Q first? | 11:05 |
| Bo_DK | its permission related | 11:05 |
| Bo_DK | not python in genral | 11:06 |
| cfhowlett | Bo_DK: go for it | 11:06 |
| metaphysician | Why can't the netboot installer fetch the live cd contents and install from there? Or do I need a proper ubuntu mirror? | 11:06 |
| Bo_DK | switching from angstrom distro it now throws a lot of persission errors | 11:06 |
| Bo_DK | just a simple script to control a servo on BBB | 11:06 |
| metaphysician | According to this howto, it should work. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet | 11:07 |
| metaphysician | ...you can also install from a local server. One can loop-back mount the installation sources from the .ISO file. ... | 11:07 |
| Bo_DK | is the default image of ubuntu for BBB more restrictive than angstrom? | 11:08 |
| Bo_DK | BBB=Beagle Bone Black | 11:08 |
| cfhowlett | Bo_DK: pretty esoteric query ... NO idea what BBB or angstrom are ... | 11:08 |
| Dr_Willis | whats the permission errors? we can understand those. ;) | 11:09 |
| Bo_DK | yeah... let me get those | 11:09 |
| Dr_Willis | ive never heard of BBB or anstrom either. ;) | 11:09 |
| Bo_DK | BBB=beagle bone black | 11:09 |
| * cfhowlett ... thinks "So, it's not must me!" | 11:09 | |
| Bo_DK | angstrom = default distro preloaded on it when they ship | 11:09 |
| Dr_Willis | my dog was a beagle.. ;) he liked bones... but he was brown. | 11:10 |
| Dr_Willis | No idea what an angstrom is. Other then somthing i slept through in science class. | 11:10 |
| CatKiller | Usually these embedded Ubuntu distros are heavilly trimmed down, yes | 11:10 |
| Bo_DK | ubuntu@arm:~$ python servotest.py | 11:10 |
| Bo_DK | Traceback (most recent call last): | 11:10 |
| Bo_DK | File "servotest.py", line 4, in <module> | 11:10 |
| Bo_DK | PWM.set_duty_cycle("P9_14", 25.5) | 11:10 |
| Bo_DK | IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/sys/devices/bone_capemgr.9/slots' | 11:10 |
| FloodBot1 | Bo_DK: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 11:10 |
| Bo_DK | ubuntu@arm:~$ | 11:10 |
| CatKiller | What is missing from it? | 11:10 |
| CatKiller | Sounds like you're simply having a perm issue no? | 11:11 |
| Bo_DK | yeah... also the reason why i'm here | 11:11 |
| Bo_DK | cant figure it on my own | 11:11 |
| CatKiller | What are the perms on that file? | 11:11 |
| Dr_Willis | so you are running some command/scripot from BBB on a Ubuntu box? | 11:11 |
| Dr_Willis | is there even a '/sys/devices/bone_capemgr.9/' at all | 11:12 |
| Bo_DK | BBB is a pc if you like the term better | 11:12 |
| Bo_DK | yes there is | 11:12 |
| Bo_DK | BBB kind of micro pc... arm cortex based | 11:12 |
| Dr_Willis | and theres a slots file as well. ;) thats the name for some special hardware device? | 11:12 |
| Dr_Willis | bone_capemgr.9 is what? some special io/device on the bbb? | 11:13 |
| biopyte | ActionParsnip, shutter is great ... you made my day, thank you. | 11:13 |
| Bo_DK | yep... you can stack extension boards on it.... | 11:13 |
| BlitzHere | So, I set Ubuntu to autologin because I have a BIOS password set in but a window pops up on reaching the desktop saying the login keyring did not get unloked and asking me to enter my password anyway | 11:13 |
| Bo_DK | much like an arduini | 11:13 |
| Bo_DK | arduino | 11:14 |
| Bo_DK | they are called capes | 11:14 |
| Bo_DK | hence capemgr | 11:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Bo_DK: sounds like the device is either owned by root, so needs to be accessed as root. or your user Might need to be in some special group to access. | 11:14 |
| BlitzHere | Can I make to so that I don't have to do that | 11:14 |
| Dr_Willis | what does ls -l /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.9/ show? | 11:14 |
| BlitzHere | I'd like to enter my password only when I need to make changes to system files | 11:15 |
| Dr_Willis | BlitzHere: you can set a blank keyring password | 11:15 |
| Dr_Willis | when it asked for the keyring password the first time. if you had entered just blank it would not ask again | 11:15 |
| Bo_DK | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6158287/ | 11:15 |
| fire__ | why is that we install postfix and dovecat together and not just postfix ? | 11:15 |
| Dr_Willis | the seahorse gui tool - lets you manage passwords for it | 11:15 |
| Dr_Willis | seahorse -> view --> by keyring ---> set a new login password. (i think) its a KEYRING login password. not the users login password | 11:17 |
| CatKiller | Bo_DK: What are the perms on that file? | 11:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Bo_DK: looks like its all owned by root and drwxr-xr-x which means the users can read. but not write. | 11:18 |
| amcsi_work | hi | 11:18 |
| amcsi_work | if I wanted to make cli programs that use the entire visible cli area and manipulate that (cli-gui), what do I have to look into? | 11:19 |
| Dr_Willis | so if the script was ran by root/with sudo rights. it should be able to access them all. | 11:19 |
| gordonjcp | amcsi_work: curses | 11:19 |
| Bo_DK | Dr Willis tried sudo in front... | 11:19 |
| Bo_DK | let me see if i did | 11:19 |
| Dr_Willis | ncurses :) isent that the term? | 11:19 |
| gordonjcp | amcsi_work: you mean like the way that dpkg-reconfigure does its UI? | 11:19 |
| Dr_Willis | good old text-based gui's for the console and terminals | 11:19 |
| linu | hi i have been using ubuntu 12.04,and i have installed wine on my pc,i would like to install proteus-8,but not only proteus 6,7 ratherthan 8 versions,it did not work properly, can you tell me how to install proteus using wine and is it need any other softwares which are by microsoft ? thanks in advance | 11:19 |
| amcsi_work | like dpkg-reconfigure, like less, like vim etc | 11:20 |
| Bo_DK | nah | 11:20 |
| Dr_Willis | !appdb | linu | 11:20 |
| ubottu | linu: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 11:20 |
| Bo_DK | sudu first same deal | 11:20 |
| Dr_Willis | !wine | linu | 11:20 |
| ubottu | linu: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 11:20 |
| amcsi_work | like those do their ui | 11:20 |
| CatKiller | Bo_DK: Your script could drop permissions | 11:20 |
| Dr_Willis | amcsi_work: ncurses is the normal tool to do fancy text type guis. | 11:20 |
| CatKiller | Bo_DK: What is your script? | 11:20 |
| amcsi_work | ah okay, thanks! | 11:21 |
| amcsi_work | does vim also use curses? | 11:21 |
| CatKiller | Bo_DK: Try to change the perm to 777 for all | 11:21 |
| RogueCoder | there must be some way to fix this package problem.. there's tons of stuff I'm unable to install | 11:21 |
| Dr_Willis | amcsi_work: its a rather common library that many cli apps use | 11:21 |
| RogueCoder | all returning the same dependency issue (only with different packages) | 11:21 |
| Dr_Willis | amcsi_work: https://www.google.com/search?q=ncurses+examples&client=ubuntu&hs=dBB&channel=fs&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=vhhEUqDlDcfZqQGrzoDACg&ved=0CFAQsAQ&biw=933&bih=874&dpr=1 Ncurses Examples | 11:21 |
| linu | Dr_Willis, sorry i could'n get you? | 11:21 |
| Bo_DK | script: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6158315/ | 11:22 |
| Dr_Willis | linu: wine help in #winehq look at the wine app database to see what apps work in wine | 11:22 |
| RogueCoder | now I just tried to install ruby-rvm and it complains about "E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages" | 11:22 |
| CatKiller | Bo_DK: don't know what PWM does though. I'd say change the perms first, try, and if not working it means that whatever driver s populating this /sys entry is failing | 11:23 |
| amcsi_work | thanks! | 11:23 |
| Bo_DK | PWM=Pulse Width Modulation | 11:23 |
| Dr_Willis | RogueCoder: done a 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade' recently? if not try them and try installing it again. | 11:23 |
| CatKiller | Bo_DK: In which case, if dmesg is blank | 11:23 |
| CatKiller | Bo_DK: I know what it means but not what the library does (drop priviledges etc). | 11:24 |
| CatKiller | So if dmesg is blank | 11:24 |
| CatKiller | you need to debug the driver I'm afraid (or find somebody who did before) | 11:24 |
| Bo_DK | should have said that i'm new to linux | 11:24 |
| Bo_DK | and new to programming | 11:24 |
| RogueCoder | Dr_Willis: I've done clean, update, upgrade and dist-upgrade several times today | 11:24 |
| RogueCoder | while trying to solving this issue | 11:24 |
| CatKiller | The bottom line here is that the "permission denied" might not be an *actual* file permission iossue | 11:24 |
| CatKiller | but an error the driver returns | 11:24 |
| CatKiller | when trying to write to this sysfs file | 11:25 |
| CatKiller | files in /sys are not real "files" | 11:25 |
| CatKiller | they are functions in kernel drivers that you can access over a "file like" interface | 11:25 |
| Bo_DK | black speach | 11:25 |
| Bo_DK | :-D | 11:25 |
| CatKiller | So you can "configure" kernel drivers or "talk" to them by writing files and reading them | 11:25 |
| CatKiller | it's a kernel configuration interface | 11:25 |
| Bo_DK | for me the key issue is to know what to do where to mae it work | 11:25 |
| lordzett | lo | 11:26 |
| CatKiller | So try to change the permissions with chmod 777 file | 11:26 |
| CatKiller | and try again | 11:26 |
| metaphysician | I think I found a mistake in this wiki article: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet In section "From a local server" the ISO to download and loop-mount should be an alternate image and not a desktop image. Someone please update/correct it. | 11:26 |
| Bo_DK | on my script? | 11:26 |
| CatKiller | if this doesn't work, then I'd say intensive google first | 11:26 |
| Bo_DK | or? | 11:26 |
| CatKiller | no in the Ubuntu shell | 11:26 |
| CatKiller | sudo chmod 777 <path_to_file> | 11:26 |
| === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob | ||
| Bo_DK | and what file should i do it on? | 11:26 |
| RogueCoder | Dr_Willis: any ideas? :) | 11:26 |
| Dr_Willis | metaphysician: im not sure the alternative image exists any more. | 11:26 |
| CatKiller | the file that your script reports it has no access to | 11:27 |
| Bo_DK | ah | 11:27 |
| CatKiller | "/sys/something/something" | 11:27 |
| Dr_Willis | RogueCoder: not really. theres been like 5 people tonight with apt issues.. all fixed by doing the update/upgrade. ;) | 11:27 |
| Bo_DK | yeah... need to figure which one | 11:28 |
| Dr_Willis | RogueCoder: theres some way you can determine why that package is held. but i cant recall the command | 11:28 |
| RogueCoder | i've also tried apt-get check | 11:28 |
| RogueCoder | and it reports no errors | 11:28 |
| Dr_Willis | Bo_DK: hard core way would be to do it for everything in /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.9/ :) but thats a Little extrme | 11:28 |
| CatKiller | Bo_DK: It's in the error emssage | 11:28 |
| Bo_DK | got it | 11:29 |
| Bo_DK | lets see | 11:29 |
| metaphysician | !alternate | 11:29 |
| ubottu | The alternate CD has been discontinued for the main Ubuntu distro, please use and report any bugs in the !LiveCD | 11:29 |

| ubottu | The Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything. | 11:30 |
| Miladiir | :D | 11:30 |
| metaphysician | so how do I install from the desktop ISO image from a network? | 11:30 |
| JuJuBee | I just ran apt-get update and get the following errors... http://pastebin.com/iTTPwbET I tried adding the key for the fist error and still get them. | 11:31 |
| Bo_DK | chmod 777 on '/sys/devices/bone_capemgr.9/slots' did not help | 11:31 |
| Bo_DK | still no access | 11:31 |
| Bo_DK | why not just remove access control all together | 11:32 |
| Bo_DK | free access to everything for everyone that can access it | 11:32 |
| CatKiller | Bo_DK: Same error message? | 11:32 |
| Bo_DK | yes | 11:33 |
| CatKiller | try to write to it from the shell using "echo" | 11:33 |
| CatKiller | first go to root | 11:33 |
| CatKiller | "sudo passwd root" | 11:33 |
| CatKiller | set a password for root | 11:33 |
| CatKiller | and then "su" | 11:33 |
| CatKiller | enter the password | 11:33 |
| FloodBot1 | CatKiller: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 11:33 |
| Bo_DK | ok... | 11:33 |
| CatKiller | then 'echo 1 > /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.9/slots' | 11:33 |
| Bo_DK | back in a few | 11:33 |
| CatKiller | see if you get the same problem | 11:33 |
| CatKiller | I'd say the driver simply doesn't accept your command | 11:34 |
| Dr_Willis | you dont need to set a password for root. | 11:34 |
| Dr_Willis | 'sudo -s' will give you a root shell | 11:34 |
| ObrienDave | JuJuBee... it looks like you will have to go through all of those and reinstall the gpg keys | 11:34 |
| CatKiller | Dr_Willis: True true, even better | 11:34 |
| JuJuBee | ObrienDave: I tried to install a few and re ran update and still get all of them | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | sudo -i is a little better, uses your user's profile? | 11:34 |
| Bo_DK | hmm | 11:35 |
| Bo_DK | root@arm:/home/ubuntu# echo 1 > /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.9/slots | 11:35 |
| Bo_DK | bash: echo: write error: No such file or directory | 11:35 |

| Dr_Willis | ActionParsnip: i never can rember. ;) | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Bo_DK: does the file exist? | 11:35 |
| CatKiller | Bo_DK: Also this is a known issue | 11:36 |
| CatKiller | https://github.com/adafruit/adafruit-beaglebone-io-python/issues/17 | 11:36 |
| Dr_Willis | I just see way way to many guides, other disrtos docs, and sites use 'sudo su' i kepe thinking -s because sudo su has s's in it | 11:36 |
| Bo_DK | this is just over my head an understanding | 11:36 |
| CatKiller | Bo_DK: Use "tab" to make sure you have the right file, maybe I didn't paste it right | 11:36 |
| Bo_DK | will read that link | 11:36 |
| CatKiller | What is the version of the adafruit you use? (the library)? | 11:36 |
| CatKiller | fixed in 0.0.14 | 11:36 |
| CatKiller | 2 month ago which is not that long | 11:37 |
| Bo_DK | CatKiller: just installed the lib today | 11:37 |
| Bo_DK | so assume its newest | 11:37 |
| CatKiller | Bo_DK: From where? | 11:38 |
| Bo_DK | adafruit | 11:38 |
| CatKiller | Bo_DK: What version? | 11:38 |
| Bo_DK | followed their install guide | 11:38 |
| Bo_DK | dont know | 11:38 |
| Bo_DK | assume newest since i did install today | 11:38 |
| CatKiller | Bo_DK: "newest" is really vague | 11:38 |
| Bo_DK | did this: http://learn.adafruit.com/setting-up-io-python-library-on-beaglebone-black/installation-on-ubuntu | 11:38 |
| CatKiller | maybe it's the "newest" of the stable | 11:38 |
| CatKiller | which is 1 year odl :p | 11:38 |

| Bo_DK | root@arm:/home/ubuntu# | 11:44 |
| CatKiller | Bo_DK: Ok, are you sure you're writing to the correct file? | 11:45 |
| Miladiir | try sudo echo ........ | 11:45 |
| Bo_DK | same deal | 11:45 |
| CatKiller | Can you use "tab" to auto complete the file opath | 11:45 |
| CatKiller | echo 1 > /sys/<press tab> etc | 11:45 |
| Bo_DK | yes | 11:45 |
| CatKiller | until you let tab autocomplete "slots" (type "slo" | 11:45 |
| CatKiller | ) | 11:45 |
| CatKiller | same thing? | 11:45 |
| Bo_DK | yes | 11:45 |
| Miladiir | hmmm | 11:45 |
| CatKiller | That's what the driver replies | 11:46 |
| Bo_DK | root@arm:/home/ubuntu# sudo echo 1 > /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.9/slots | 11:46 |
| Bo_DK | echo: write error: No such file or directory | 11:46 |
| Bo_DK | root@arm:/home/ubuntu# | 11:46 |
| CatKiller | Bo_DK: So maybe you need to echo something valid | 11:47 |
| Bo_DK | what about disable sercurity? | 11:47 |
| Bo_DK | ie no check on anything | 11:47 |
| Bo_DK | no need for it anyway | 11:47 |
| Miladiir | you eventually have to learn to deal with it | 11:47 |
| CatKiller | it's not a security issue | 11:47 |
| CatKiller | try that: echo am33xx_pwm > /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.9/slots | 11:47 |
| CatKiller | as root yes | 11:48 |
| Bo_DK | that did go ok | 11:48 |
| Bo_DK | no errors | 11:48 |
| CatKiller | or this | 11:48 |
| CatKiller | echo bone_pwm_P8_13 > /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.9/slots | 11:48 |
| CatKiller | see | 11:48 |
| CatKiller | not a security issue | 11:48 |
| FloodBot1 | CatKiller: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 11:48 |
| Bo_DK | so the issue is? | 11:49 |
| CatKiller | So the library here is either writing the wrong data (but I don't think so otherwise it would return "No such file or directory" | 11:49 |
| CatKiller | or it is genuinely missing permissions | 11:49 |
| CatKiller | in which case you need to find out its version | 11:49 |
| Bo_DK | considering hiring someone.... | 11:50 |
| Bo_DK | my linux skills stinks | 11:50 |
| Bo_DK | more than a skunk | 11:50 |
| gordonjcp | Bo_DK: what are you trying to do? | 11:50 |
| Miladiir | i was wondering the same thing | 11:50 |
| Bo_DK | what i'm trying is to run a python script.... its just not working | 11:50 |
| Bo_DK | and i cant figure shit out | 11:50 |
| metaphysician | Is difference between systems using PAE and non-PAE kernel, noticeable? | 11:51 |
| Bo_DK | dont know what is wrong | 11:51 |
| Miladiir | have a link? | 11:51 |
| Bo_DK | yep | 11:51 |
| Bo_DK | hold on | 11:51 |
| CatKiller | Bo_DK: By the way, did you checkout the #beaglebone | 11:51 |
| CatKiller | channel? | 11:52 |
| Bo_DK | hold on | 11:52 |
| CatKiller | Pointing them to this link: https://github.com/adafruit/adafruit-beaglebone-io-python/issues/17 | 11:52 |
| elango | i have wrongly mounted the pendrive on home directory,now i cant open the directories under home,somebody help me ya | 11:52 |
| Bo_DK | http://pastebin.com/seXc2Qdh | 11:52 |
| CatKiller | Bo_DK: Also in your script can you add (below import): "print Adafruit_BBIO.__version__"? | 11:53 |
| Bo_DK | CatKiller: yes have been there.. simple answer from them: read teh f.... manual and learn it | 11:53 |
| CatKiller | Bo_DK: Try that | 11:53 |
| Miladiir | I cannot help much here as I dont even have a clue what Adafruit is, I guess a devboard? | 11:53 |
| Bo_DK | Miladiir: a company | 11:53 |
| Miladiir | Yeah, just look through the manual. Its a pain in the ass, but everyone has to go through that phase of Linux eventually | 11:54 |
| CatKiller | Bo_DK: What's the version? | 11:54 |
| Bo_DK | slow down | 11:54 |
| Bo_DK | i'm not that fast | 11:54 |
| Miladiir | take your time | 11:54 |
| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 11:55 |
| Miladiir | hi | 11:55 |
| Bo_DK | so add to script: "print Adafruit_BBIO.__version__"? | 11:55 |
| Bo_DK | without the quotes? | 11:55 |
| Bo_DK | and without the ? | 11:55 |
| Miladiir | try it ^^ | 11:56 |
| Bo_DK | inserted raw it gives a syntax error | 11:56 |

| Bo_DK | have no clue | 12:03 |
| Bo_DK | again i stink regarding linux | 12:04 |
| gordonjcp | well that's possibly part of the problem | 12:04 |
| Bo_DK | just wanted to build a tracker platform | 12:04 |
| gordonjcp | Bo_DK: so, find out exactly what you're running maybe? | 12:05 |
| gordonjcp | Bo_DK: effectively so far you've given us "I don't know what it is but it doesn't work" | 12:06 |
| Bo_DK | gordonjcp: yep... cause i dont know anymore and just so damm frustrated | 12:07 |

| gemma22 | Hello everybody. Im going to open a small store to sell shoes and i need a computer for the ticketing, stock system, give invoices to the clients and all that, My question is, may i use free ubuntu to achive that so i dont have to pay microsoft? Is there software in the ubuntu repositories to run a very small bussiness as described and control my stock with barcode scanner and those things? English is my second language, what keywords | 12:24 |
| JohnVonNeumann | books4electricians.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip | gemma22: yes its totally free | 12:24 |
| DJ_U|Laptop | no, it is an Intel P35 chipset CPU, Q6600 | 12:24 |
| JohnVonNeumann | does anyone no how 2 reach this blog : books4electricians.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip | DJ_U|Laptop: did you install the proprietary video driver or are you yet to do that? | 12:24 |
| tyler_d | gemma22, that would be a POS system, it stands for Point of Sale, there is a free one, but certainly this is off-topic as it's more related to software, not the Operating System | 12:25 |
| DJ_U|Laptop | That was one thing I couldn't do during the install, network was down for a bit overnight, but since it's a total hang, I can't do any installs. | 12:25 |
| mn3na3a | D | 12:25 |
| ActionParsnip | DJ_U|Laptop: at the login screen, press CTRL+ALT+F1 and login there, run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 12:26 |
| ActionParsnip | DJ_U|Laptop: full upgrades and installs the proprietary nvidia driver | 12:26 |
| gemma22 | oh thank you very much both ActionParsnip, tyler_d. Im happy to hear is possible, i understand the offtopic question to, i thank for the POS nomenclature that will help me search for what i need. Im just updating my old ubuntu and will search and try right away. ty again | 12:27 |

| gemma22 | one other question, i ordered allready the box where the change goes, it seems to be opened automaticly by the computer but it has a cable like a telephone cable, do i have to install an old phone modem in my computer to open the money storage? i though i would be usb or something, im socked with the tipe of conexion the money drawr has | 12:33 |
| MoleMan | Could someone help me work out why my system doesn't resume from hibernate? I have set the resume= tag in Grub,might it be related to the swap being encrypted? the ouput from blikd for the swap is "/dev/mapper/cryptswap1: (blahblah" | 12:34 |
| tyler_d | gemma22, it's a telephone cable indeed. :) | 12:34 |
| gemma22 | tyler_d: lol, so i have to call the drawer to be opened? hahaha, i completely dont understand | 12:35 |
| tyler_d | gemma22, it works on a simple signal from the terminal(computer) | 12:36 |
| gemma22 | tyler_d: i understand, i will learn weather the software im studing can send that signal and install and modem on my computer | 12:37 |

| zotta | hi, i am trying to run apt-get upgrade on "Ubuntu precise (12.04.3 LTS)" | 12:43 |
| zotta | and it hangs: | 12:43 |
| cfhowlett | zotta, error messages? | 12:44 |
| zotta | none | 12:44 |
| zotta | just hangs | 12:44 |
| zotta | Setting up udev (175-0ubuntu9.4) ... | 12:44 |
| cfhowlett | zotta, running upgrade via terminal? | 12:44 |
| zotta | ssh | 12:44 |
| cfhowlett | zotta, weird that no error msg came back. I'd guess a mirror issue ... | 12:45 |
| tirengarfio | tyler_d, thanks, I will say it in another way: is there any way to test if is possible to install linux in that laptop before removing windows 8? | 12:46 |
| zotta | the process udev.postinst never terminates | 12:46 |
| zotta | and uses 0% cpu | 12:46 |
| tyler_d | tirengarfio, you can boot to a live cd | 12:47 |
| cfhowlett | zotta, do a kill -9 on that process and run upgrade again ... | 12:47 |
| zotta | i did a kill (without the -9) | 12:47 |
| zotta | and it still does not work | 12:47 |
| tyler_d | tirengarfio, or alternately you could attempt to install it on a usb key or removable hard-disk... from my experience with my little sony vaio it was a pain in the backside to fight through. Mind you that was a few months back now | 12:48 |
| zotta | will appending -9 change anything? | 12:48 |
| cfhowlett | zotta, kill -9 will kill it NOW | 12:48 |
| theadmin | zotta: -9 will send signal 9 (SIGKILL), which will force the termination | 12:48 |
| gemma22 | Im updating my full working 12.04 LTS, P.IV 2.4Ghz, 2GBRAM and a NVIDIA to the 12.10 LTS but i had the advice that my graphic card may not be full supported. This system will be only POS terminal (no games, photoshop...). I do not need full graphics support, do i? | 12:48 |
| theadmin | zotta: If still fails, try with -SEGV, although that's cheating | 12:48 |
| zotta | dpkg: error processing udev (--configure): | 12:49 |
| zotta | subprocess installed post-installation script was killed by signal (Killed) | 12:49 |
| theadmin | gemma22: Eh. The desktop might fail to load. Suggest to stay on 12.04 until 2D is properly supported by Unity (next LTS, 14.04, should have support) | 12:49 |
| zotta | if i run the upgrade again, it halts again | 12:50 |
| zotta | do i even need tu upgrade udev? | 12:50 |
| zotta | what the hack is udev for? | 12:50 |
| zotta | can i somehow tell the package manager to leave out the udev upgrade? | 12:51 |
| cfhowlett | !udev | 12:51 |
| gemma22 | Theadmin: do u recomend then to abort my update? i still on the phase of downloading packages | 12:51 |
| theadmin | gemma22: Yeah, I generally suggest to stay on LTS releases unless you really can't wait to see the new features | 12:51 |
| spacecamp | if you want everything to work the best, is it best to run LTS rather then the latest release? | 12:51 |
| theadmin | gemma22: You can upgrade directly to 14.04 when it's out | 12:51 |
| theadmin | spacecamp: See my message to gemma22 | 12:52 |
| spacecamp | cuss my friend said lts is for servers | 12:52 |
| cfhowlett | !lts|spacecamp, not exactly. | 12:52 |
| ubottu | spacecamp, not exactly.: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 12:52 |
| zotta | cfhowlett: could you be more explicit? | 12:52 |
| cfhowlett | spacecamp, LTS is long term support so is not so cutting/bleeding edge. packages are designed for stability | 12:52 |
| theadmin | spacecamp: Generally, LTS releases are very very stable and are suitable for server or enterprise use, as well as usual users who just want a stable system. Regular releases are less stable, but have new features. | 12:52 |
| theadmin | spacecamp: Honestly, there's no features in 13.04 that aren't in 12.04 that are worth mentioning | 12:53 |
| gemma22 | theadmin: perfect them, i will follow your suggestions, im very happy with my actual features, im not a computer geek. thank you. | 12:53 |
| cfhowlett | gemma22, is the way to go then. | 12:53 |
| spacecamp | right, okay.. thanks theadmin | 12:53 |
| zotta | Can someone tell me how to make apt-get leave out the udev upgrade? | 12:54 |
| gemma22 | wow then im ready to download and test some POS software, thank you! see you around! | 12:54 |
| cfhowlett | gemma22, I run LTS only so I update only every 2 years instead of every 6 months. few headaches and my system works great. | 12:54 |
| spacecamp | zotta, you could use synaptic | 12:54 |
| spacecamp | and just uncheck what you don't want? | 12:54 |
| zotta | spacecamp: I have no gui | 12:54 |
| spacecamp | update then jjust purge what you don't want? | 12:54 |
| theadmin | zotta: You can hold the package: echo "udev hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections | 12:54 |
| DJ_U|Laptop | upgrade portion is running for the most part, smooth, though there was one message regarding x11, but as I'm in text mode, that's a given. :p | 12:54 |
| spacecamp | idk, i will let the pros help you : 3 | 12:55 |
| CatKiller | spacecamp: purging udev *might* not be the best idea ;) | 12:55 |
| spacecamp | lol | 12:55 |
| CatKiller | also because many packages probably have dependencies on it it would probably purge your entire instal l ; | 12:55 |
| zotta | theadmin: and how do i undo it, if i ever need to? | 12:55 |
| spacecamp | right | 12:55 |
| spacecamp | yeah prolly have a good point lol | 12:56 |
| theadmin | zotta: echo "udev install" | sudo dpkg --set-selections | 12:56 |

| spacecamp | CatKiller, theadmin :do you guys run ubuntu? | 12:59 |
| theadmin | spacecamp: I do. | 12:59 |
| CatKiller | sure | 12:59 |
| spacecamp | 12/04? | 12:59 |
| CatKiller | yep | 12:59 |
| spacecamp | cool | 12:59 |
| theadmin | spacecamp: Nah, I'm running 13.04, I'm more of the "latest features" kind of person | 12:59 |
| spacecamp | oh, okay. idk i was messing around the other day with 13.04 and when i updated the kernal it was a laggy POS | 13:00 |
| spacecamp | so i think i will run 12.04 | 13:00 |
| spacecamp | downloading it right now to mess around with in a vm | 13:01 |
| spacecamp | when i ran ubunut 24/7 like 5 months or so ago, i ran 12.04 and it worked great.. so... | 13:01 |
| spacecamp | ubuntu* | 13:01 |
| BluesKaj | running any OS in a vm makes it kaggy :) | 13:02 |
| spacecamp | well, this was not in one | 13:02 |
| spacecamp | it was barebone | 13:03 |
| BluesKaj | or laggy as the case may be | 13:03 |
| spacecamp | idk, could of been alot of things tho | 13:03 |
| theadmin | spacecamp: 13.04 currently has no 2D support, thus your GPU needs to have 3D acceleration. Being worked on | 13:03 |
| theadmin | spacecamp: So yeah | 13:03 |
| spacecamp | i think i will run stable debian,+ubuntu from now on... | 13:03 |
| wreiner | hi - i want to boot from a logical volume which resides on an encrypted physical volume. but upon booting i don't get to enter my password, instead I'm being dropped to initram shell complaining no root found. when i check my initrd there is no cryptsetup binary in it. does anyone have some hints on that? | 13:03 |
| spacecamp | ubuntu LTS that is... | 13:04 |
| bl4ckdu5t | How can I set permissions recursively for all the files and folders in a folder | 13:04 |
| ronin | what would you recommend OpenJDK or Sun Java | 13:04 |
| wreiner | i can post all needed information to pastebin without problems | 13:05 |
| theadmin | bl4ckdu5t: chmod -R blah | 13:05 |
| BluesKaj | heh, I'm running kubuntu 13.10 beta2 and it's real fast , even on this old clunker | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip | ronin: is openjdk gives what you need then use it. There is a PPA for Oracle Java (Sun don't own java now) | 13:05 |
| theadmin | ronin: OpenJDK works nicely for the most part | 13:05 |
| spacecamp | nice BluesKaj | 13:05 |
| spacecamp | all hardware is diff i guesss, | 13:05 |
| spacecamp | using newist kernal? | 13:05 |
| spacecamp | stable not beta kernal i mean? | 13:06 |
| CatKiller | wreiner: Did Ubuntu create and encrypt this LVM LV? | 13:06 |
| CatKiller | wreiner: Or is that a "home made" install? | 13:06 |
| wreiner | home made | 13:06 |
| wreiner | using FAI | 13:06 |
| CatKiller | wreiner: Because initramfs only contains what is needed to boot Ubuntu | 13:06 |
| CatKiller | and Ubuntu generates initramfs according to what it *think* it'll need | 13:06 |
| CatKiller | If this is homemade | 13:06 |
| BluesKaj | spacecamp: 3.11.0-8-generic #15-Ubuntu | 13:07 |
| bl4ckdu5t | theadmin: I thought it should be done with "chown" | 13:07 |
| CatKiller | Ubuntu has no idea you're booting an encrypted partition | 13:07 |
| CatKiller | and won't include your required stuff | 13:07 |
| theadmin | bl4ckdu5t: chown changes ownerships. chmod changes permissions. | 13:07 |
| spacecamp | BluesKaj, thats the kernal thats it comes with out of the box right? | 13:07 |
| ws2k33 | hello i want that my ubuntu machine is able to send out email via an external smtp server how should this be done ? | 13:07 |
| bl4ckdu5t | theadmin: ok thanks! | 13:07 |
| CatKiller | you're going to have to generate a new initramfs with http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/update-initramfs.8.html | 13:07 |
| BluesKaj | yup, thius is a clean install , spacecamp | 13:07 |
| CatKiller | or this http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/mkinitramfs.8.html | 13:08 |
| spacecamp | not latest kernal then BluesKaj correct me if i'm wrong tho | 13:08 |
| CatKiller | And some more info: http://askubuntu.com/questions/103844/how-to-customize-the-initrd-embedded-in-or-coming-with-the-kernel-image | 13:08 |
| wreiner | CatKiller: hmm ok, but where would i tell ubuntu to include this stuff? I genereated my crypttab, added /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/cryptroot, added the modules to initramfs and built a new one | 13:08 |
| spacecamp | idk, my friend just always told me to make sure you are running the latest kernal | 13:08 |
| wreiner | CatKiller: http://pastebin.com/DYEmBf3p | 13:09 |
| spacecamp | so i try to keep up with all that lol | 13:09 |
| CatKiller | wreiner: Maybe that wasn't the procedure, like maybe this didn't copy the right binaries | 13:09 |
| wreiner | CatKiller: this is what i've done so far | 13:09 |
| BluesKaj | spacecamp: I don't pay much attn to newest kernel on a dev OS , that's up to the development ppl , I'm a kubuntu-tester | 13:09 |
| spacecamp | right | 13:09 |
| wreiner | CatKiller: most certainly there is something missing but all tutorials around google tell me only to do this | 13:09 |
| CatKiller | wreiner: Sounds like you'd need to add the binaries to the initramdisk as well | 13:10 |
| spacecamp | i just want my systems to run the best i can make them, and i was told if you want that then you need to keep up with the latest stable kernal | 13:10 |
| spacecamp | again, correct me if i'm wrong lol | 13:10 |
| CatKiller | wreiner: Does your ramdisk have cryptpv? | 13:10 |
| CatKiller | because it will need that according to the cryptroot config | 13:10 |
| ws2k33 | hello i want that my ubuntu machine is able to send out email via an external smtp server how should this be done ? | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip | spacecamp: as long as the hardware is all running ok then the kernelis doing its job | 13:11 |
| BluesKaj | spacecamp: newest isn't necessarily best , but I'm sure you're aware of that :) | 13:11 |
| spacecamp | ActionParsnip, agreed. | 13:11 |
| wreiner | CatKiller: hmm not sure what you mean by that. as far as i understand, that's a name i give the container. could you tell me how to check? | 13:11 |
| cfhowlett | spacecamp, agt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade should solve 99% of your upgrade issues plus, perhaps, enabling backports in the repos | 13:11 |
| ActionParsnip | spacecamp: so you dont need to keep grabbing new kernels | 13:11 |
| === bill_ is now known as bill____ | ||
| CatKiller | wreiner: Not sure, I have never made custom initramdisks using Debian or Ubuntu | 13:12 |
| wreiner | CatKiller: also the cryptosetup binaries are missing in the initrd, but i don't know how to tell update-initramfs to include them | 13:12 |
| CatKiller | 100% homemade ones yes | 13:12 |
| CatKiller | but that's not the same | 13:12 |
| spacecamp | right, so if eveything is working like it should.. then i shouldent worry about making sure i have the latest kernal? | 13:12 |
| cfhowlett | spacecamp, chillax. | 13:12 |
| CatKiller | wreiner: That's why I was suggesting to make a new initramfs entirely not with udpate | 13:12 |
| CatKiller | but with create | 13:12 |
| CatKiller | it's an ext2 image usually | 13:13 |
| CatKiller | that contains a "skeleton" fs with binaries and such | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | spacecamp: exactly | 13:13 |
| spacecamp | sweet | 13:13 |
| CatKiller | usually you make it from a directory that contains the right structure | 13:13 |
| CatKiller | or you could "edit" your existing one by mounting the image and adding stuff to it | 13:13 |
| wreiner | CatKiller: sure, but it would break everything on the next kernel update | 13:13 |
| CatKiller | wreiner: Ye[p | 13:14 |
| CatKiller | wreiner: Or actually, "maybe" | 13:14 |
| CatKiller | wreiner: as I said, I have no experience with customizing ubuntu ramdisks | 13:14 |
| CatKiller | just making full ones | 13:14 |
| wreiner | CatKiller: ok, thank you anyway | 13:14 |

| spacecamp | How come unity has such bad support for more then one display? | 13:59 |
| ActionParsnip | spacecamp: depends on config really | 13:59 |
| the_thought_forg | spacecamp: Because it's proprietary and most desktop users only have one monitor, so they can get away with it for now | 14:00 |

| MoleMan | and logs in /var/log/mysql.log /var/log/mysql.err and /var/log/mysql/error.log | 15:13 |
| timhansen | MoleMan: that specifies the socket is at /var/run/mysqld/mysql….d…dot sock. son of a bitch. i tried that before, except with mysql.sock instead of mysqld.sock. son of a bitch | 15:13 |

| baswazz | MoleMan: ok thanks i already missed it in the manpage :D | 15:51 |
| zykotick9 | rickferd: using 10.04 isn't really an option at this point... what is failing with newer versons exactly? | 15:52 |
| rickferd | I can install 10.04 and it runs great If i try and install any of the newer version it will just have a black screen and even bring up a terminal it just sits there nothing. I tried upgrading and the same thing | 15:52 |
| zykotick9 | rickferd: if you have nvidia/ati have you tried nomodeset? "/msg ubottu nomodeset" for details. | 15:53 |

Now after booting the machine doesn't even load grub (I have disabled the grub hiding in the past), let alone the kernel.

| loa | trism, you are very helpful thx. maybe you now what can be wrong in my situation i set for example new wallpaper, but after relogin i see that there default again, or for example i set different timeout for screensaver, and he again default | 17:18 |

| EricKit | Does anyone understand file systems very well? What are the benefits of EXT4 and why when Ubuntu writes to an NTFS system can Windows not see the file? I understand MS doesn't give much specifications to NTFS and the changes to it. | 17:29 |
| ActionParsnip | EricKit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4 | 17:30 |
| ActionParsnip | EricKit: couldnt find that? | 17:31 |
| jhutchins | EricKit: If you have ntfs-3g and can write to the NTFS filesystem, windows can see the file. Perhaps you have not set the permiissions correctly? | 17:32 |
| tech11 | how do u runing sh configure | 17:32 |
| Bookwormser | Hello quick question. I am currently on release 10.04.2 and I need to get to 10.04.3. Will an apt-get update take me to 10.04.4 or only 10.04.3? | 17:33 |
| ikonia | tech11: you run it in a directory where there is a confiugre script | 17:33 |
| ikonia | tech11: eg: sh ./configure | 17:33 |
| dtcrshr | is there a way to save the apps iv installed and install the same apps into another ubuntu? | 17:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Bookwormser: you will upgrade to the latest packages in the repos so will go to 10.04..4 direct | 17:33 |
| dtcrshr | Iv added no foreign repos, its a lts install | 17:33 |
| Bookwormser | Ah ok thank you ActionParsnip. Is there a way to simply update to 10.04.3? Would I need to do it package by package? | 17:34 |
| zykotick9 | dtcrshr: downloaded packages are in /var/cache/apt/archives/ you can copy that folder's contents to different machines. | 17:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Bookwormser: no, the minor releases just means later installs need to upgrade fewer packages | 17:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Bookwormser: its the same release | 17:34 |
| jhutchins | dtcrshr: Yes. | 17:35 |
| Bookwormser | OK, great. Thank you for your help, ActionParsnip. | 17:35 |
| EricKit | jhutchins: I'll have to check which version I'm running on my Ubuntu machine. On the Windows side it's 3.1. The default Ubuntu load recognized, read and wrote to the NTFS drive. But Windows 8 did not see the files, detected "errors" and wanted to repair it. | 17:35 |
| dtcrshr | zykotick9: well, I just want them to be installed from the web again, do I have to save thisfolder with binaries? | 17:35 |
| zykotick9 | !clone | dtcrshr | 17:36 |
| ubottu | dtcrshr: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this may cause problems with multiarch before 12.10) - See also !automate | 17:36 |
| dtcrshr | thanks zykotick9 | 17:36 |
| jhutchins | EricKit: Looks like there are some new W8 behaviors that can cause problems with shared disks. | 17:40 |
| EricKit | jhutchins: W8 is one of the main reasons I loaded up Ubuntu.. I wouldn't doubt it. Must be the best thing that's happened to Ubuntu | 17:40 |
| xtriz | EricKit, what is W8 ? | 17:43 |
| ActionParsnip | xtriz: windows 8 | 17:44 |
| xtriz | ohh | 17:44 |
| jhutchins | EricKit: Apparently you need to disable the Fast Startup Option. Windows 8 is doing a "hybrd shutdown" which is more of a suspend in order to conceal how ungodly long it takes to actually boot. It saves the state of the mounted partition, and changes made by another OS while Windows is down are not recognized. | 17:45 |
| jhutchins | EricKit: I'd do a little more research on this and not just take my word for it, but that seems to be the issue. | 17:45 |
| tech11 | can't open ./configure | 17:45 |
| ikonia | tech11: you don't open it - you execute it | 17:45 |
| ikonia | tech11: you either need to run it with "sh" - or you need to set it to have execute privileges | 17:46 |
| jhutchins | You should be able to open it though, it should just be a text file. | 17:46 |
| EricKit | jhutchins: That's a great idea. I knew shutdown was actually a hibernate type shutdown. Actually, now that I think about it... when I "shutdown" and start, Ubuntu won't mount it (it's not allowed). But when I restart (which is actually a real shutdown and the only way to apply patches), it will mount it and the problem still persists. Thanks for the idea though. | 17:46 |
| jhutchins | tech11: Note that the file configure must be in the current directory for that to work, and you must have read permissions on it. | 17:47 |
| ActionParsnip | tech11: did you read the readme file in the source you have? | 17:47 |
| jhutchins | tech11: You might want to reconsider doing this as you have the potential to wreck your system if you don't understand the process. | 17:47 |
| jhutchins | tech11: It is much better to stick with packages from Ubuntu until you've learned more about how Linux and Ubuntu work. | 17:48 |
| ActionParsnip | tech11: is there no PPA for what you are installing? Is it not in the repos? | 17:50 |

| vl4kn0 | Hi, I'm developing a product using ffmpeg, (not avconv) but since ubuntu does not have original ffmpeg in its repositories I found ppa repository that contains original ffmpeg. Problem is that there is ffmpeg from the PPA and ffmpeg from ubuntu repositories. How do I make sure the ffmpeg being installed with apt-get install is the one from ppa not from ubuntu repositories? Also, how do I prevent reinstalling that package when updating? | 18:01 |

| Ludovik | This is not necessary a Ubuntu specific question but I was just wondering what the best partition setup would be to have " Operating System / Swap / Program Settings / Storage " in seperate partitions so that if I have to re-install I just have to re-install the "Operating System"? | 18:09 |

| tech11 | i am using ubuntu 13.04 | 18:26 |
| f00bar80 | gordonjcp, there's no a MTputty like precompiled package? | 18:29 |

| f00bar80 | gordonjcp, so there no way to have something like it in ubuntu? | 18:31 |

| kruug | gordonjcp: no, I don't. I wasn't sure if that would have been reinventing the wheel or not | 18:31 |

| Calinou | no, it isn't | 19:25 |
| Calinou | bekks: search engines are your friend there | 19:26 |
| Calinou | but I'm sure you can backport pepperflash to chromium... | 19:26 |
| ubuntusucks | Intel has developped the new 3.12 kernel, i guess they are pro linux+ | 19:26 |
| Calinou | they did not ubuntusucks | 19:26 |

| JohnMichaelFFS | Hey, I'm having some issues with a mdadm array on a fresh install of 12.04.3 server | 20:03 |
| JohnMichaelFFS | One of my RAID1 arrays was reported as degraded on the second boot, so I tried removing and re-adding the degraded device to the array, but now when i boot the system it gets stuck in a loop | 20:03 |
| JohnMichaelFFS | it prints out the log messages about the array still being degraded and rebuilding, but the boot freezes and then the same message output again every 30 or so seconds | 20:04 |

| Griff| | Hi guys. I'm having some issues installing ubuntu on a RAID via a HighPoint 2640x4 with encrypted FS. I am building and installing the drivers (RR264x_Linux_Src_v1.6.1_13_08_23.tar.gz) in the live OS, going through the installation process selecting: Erase entire disk, encrypt the disk, LVM, and let ubuntu sort the partitioning out for me. My raid is configured with a 2.5tb RAID[5] marked as | 20:10 |
| Griff| | bootable for nix, an 8GB RAID[0] for swap, and a 660gb RAID[0] for windows games (The winOS boots from an SSD). | 20:10 |
| Griff| | When the install completes and restarts, the computer acts as if there is nothing to boot and sits there flashing the emtpty character cursor. Does anyone know where I might be going wrong? Also I did not specify the swap location during install, I assume this went to the 2.5tb RAID[5] along with / and boot. | 20:10 |

| alex1989 | okay well, i just installed a fresh copy of ubuntu on a new laptop and all i get is a black screen prompting me to login | 20:12 |
| alex1989 | so i do, and its just..still black screen and text | 20:12 |
| alex1989 | the installation went fine, had the full gui so i assumed nothing went wrong | 20:12 |
| bekks | alex1989: Which text? | 20:12 |
| alex1989 | just asking me to login | 20:12 |
| bekks | alex1989: And after login in, what happens? | 20:12 |
| alex1989 | just the command line, nothing else | 20:13 |
| alex1989 | very strange | 20:13 |
| bekks | alex1989: So your X doesnt start up. Take a look at the logs to see what happens. | 20:13 |
| alex1989 | how do i do that, bekks? | 20:13 |
| zykotick9 | alex1989: did you use the regular desktop ubuntu install? or server or mini? | 20:13 |
| alex1989 | i am fairly certain i used the regular desktop installation, else surely the install would not have used the gui? | 20:13 |

| Griff| | No, never, I figured why would it not be possible? RAID is virtulized into a logical drive anyway so whats the difference? | 21:19 |
| gordonjcp | Griff|: well it sounds massively overcomplicated | 21:19 |
| lord2800 | I've configured /etc/asound.conf to use device hw:0,3 as the pcm default, and when I do speaker-test it either doesn't pick that up or doesn't use it; if I do speaker-test -D hw:0,3 it works | 21:20 |
| SunTsu | Griff|: The difference is: If your controller breaks your data probably is gone too | 21:20 |
| Griff| | But with RAID[5] I suffer a massive performance hit with soft raid | 21:20 |
| Griff| | Thats fine | 21:20 |
| irssi-mike | lord2800: is xmbc in the audio group | 21:20 |

| oz0ne | gordonjcp: can't be that exp. as of then he would have read up on the container and lvm on theyr pages. and maybe taken the point of using the software raid. | 21:22 |
| gordonjcp | Griff|: keep it simple | 21:23 |

| Griff| | Thats what I thought, but boot is there. | 21:23 |
| gordonjcp | could be just as simple as installing grub to the wrong place ;-) | 21:23 |

| delinquentme | something like du -sh ./ex1202 ... except the sum total ... not the individual values for each | 21:24 |

| Griff| | Hmm, for refrence, where should grub be installed? | 21:26 |
| Griff| | ./boot/grub if i remember? | 21:26 |
| seynb | Griff : yeah but then grub-install has to put the core image on the mbr/partition | 21:27 |

| gordonjcp | Griff|: especially if you stick /home on another drive | 21:29 |
| Griff| | Thanks | 21:30 |
| seynb | Griff: if you have encryption then you have to check your /etc/crypttab probably do an update-initramfs and make sure your grub config passes root=/dev/mapper/root_decrypted | 21:30 |
| Griff| | Yes | 21:30 |
| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: What kind of help, sir? | 21:30 |

| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: Device manager? Are you on Windows? | 21:30 |
| AdityaRaj | but ubootnetin does not seem to be able to detect my pen drive still | 21:30 |
| AdityaRaj | no | 21:30 |
| AdityaRaj | i am on ubuntu | 21:30 |
| AdityaRaj | i read somewhere that i need to use gparted maybe | 21:30 |
| gregor30051 | does anybody use a wiimote under ubuntu? | 21:31 |
| AdityaRaj | but when i try to install gparted with aptget i get errors | 21:31 |

| jhutchins | glycan: Good catch! | 21:45 |
| glycan | can you explain why? | 21:45 |
| LeftCheekSneak | I want to make it my pentest box. | 21:45 |
| SonikkuAmerica | LeftCheekSneak: I wish you much luck... Lubuntu 13.10 maybe, but don't count on it. | 21:47 |
| glycan | that was to jhutchins | 21:47 |
| SonikkuAmerica | LeftCheekSneak: Unless you want Ubuntu Server for a CLI | 21:47 |
| glycan | I'm running Lubuntu on a box with <1GB RAM | 21:47 |
| LeftCheekSneak | What you use that box for glycan? | 21:49 |
| glycan | coding, web | 21:49 |
| LeftCheekSneak | Cool | 21:49 |

| glycan | what do you use? | 21:50 |
| glycan | the graphical interface seems meh, though | 21:51 |
| gordonjcp | glycan: lxde crashes all the time when I run firefox | 21:51 |
| glycan | ...firefox? | 21:51 |
| Dr_Willis | cant say ive ever seen lxde crash on me | 21:51 |
| SonikkuAmerica | glycan: That's what Lubuntu is _for_ , really. | 21:51 |
| SonikkuAmerica | gordonjcp: Is that so? Innnnteresting. | 21:51 |
| glycan | SonikkuAmerica: what? | 21:51 |
| gordonjcp | glycan: yeah, I've never been able to reliably *cause* the crashes but they seem to be related to indications when a download finishes | 21:51 |
| SonikkuAmerica | glycan: Lubuntu is geared toward low-RAM systems. | 21:52 |
| gordonjcp | glycan: the firefox thing in the bar at the bottom flashes and won't stop flashing, and if you close firefox when it's doing that LXDE crashes | 21:52 |
| glycan | SonikkuAmerica: oh. well, yes, that's why I'm using it | 21:52 |
| gordonjcp | sometimes hard enough to take out X | 21:52 |
| SonikkuAmerica | glycan: :) | 21:52 |
| gordonjcp | it's also a bit greedy on memory | 21:52 |
| glycan | gordonjcp: why are you using firefox? | 21:52 |
| SonikkuAmerica | gordonjcp, glycan: With 13.10 comes zRAM support. | 21:52 |
| gordonjcp | glycan: because it's what I use | 21:53 |
| gordonjcp | glycan: and it's what you kind of need to check web pages in | 21:53 |
| glycan | oh, okay, web dev makes sense | 21:53 |
| gordonjcp | glycan: why, what do you use? | 21:53 |
| glycan | I wouldn't be using firefox at all for 1GB RAM | 21:53 |
| glycan | links | 21:54 |
| glycan | it's a console browser | 21:54 |
| AdityaRaj | SonikkuAmerica, sorry i guess i got disconnected | 21:54 |
| gordonjcp | glycan: okay, so not really usable then | 21:54 |
| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: Don't worry, I'll pull up the case. | 21:54 |
| glycan | it does nearly everything I need it to do | 21:54 |
| gordonjcp | glycan: I know what links is, I just don't know why anyone would bother | 21:54 |
| lord2800 | how can I find out what device speaker-test means when it says "default"? | 21:54 |
| glycan | gordonjcp: it does everything I want | 21:54 |
| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: All right. From your output from [ lsusb ], is /dev/sdc your USB drive? | 21:54 |
| gordonjcp | glycan: firefox works just fine in less that 1GB | 21:54 |
| AdityaRaj | SonikkuAmerica, yes it is | 21:55 |
| glycan | really? huh | 21:55 |
| glycan | what can't you do in links? | 21:55 |
| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: Open up a terminal | 21:55 |
| gordonjcp | glycan: I'm running a normal 12.04 on a machine with 512MB of RAM | 21:55 |
| AdityaRaj | ok | 21:55 |
| Dr_Willis | cant say ive had any real issues with lubuntu and firefox on my 1gb netbook. | 21:55 |
| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: and [ sudo parted /dev/sdc ] | 21:55 |
| glycan | for me it's not so much as firefox or anything but the insurmountable lag of graphics in general | 21:55 |
| gordonjcp | glycan: you can't use github, you can't use youtube, you can't use facebook, twitter, it looks crap | 21:56 |
| glycan | yes, i can | 21:56 |
| glycan | dedicated stuff | 21:56 |
| glycan | fbcmd, finc for youtube | 21:56 |

| BlueProtoman | I'm nuking my Ubuntu installation and starting from scratch. I'm repartitioning the space I originally gave to Ubuntu; I assume that my /home partition's mount point is /home, and my system's mount point is / (root)? | 21:56 |
| glycan | I assume that there's stuff for twitter and yotube sound | 21:56 |
| gordonjcp | BlueProtoman: yes | 21:57 |
| Dr_Willis | BlueProtoman: yes. '/' is called the root of the filesystem | 21:57 |
| gordonjcp | glycan: yes, just use a normal browser | 21:57 |
| glycan | normal browser = graphics | 21:57 |
| Dr_Willis | BlueProtoman: dont forget your swap partition also. ;) | 21:57 |
| BlueProtoman | Dr_Willis: How much space would you give to the system, if I originally had 450GB allocated to 13.04? | 21:57 |
| glycan | graphics = can't mutlitask | 21:57 |
| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: How big do you want your partition to be? | 21:57 |
| gordonjcp | correct | 21:57 |
| BlueProtoman | Dr_Willis: Yep, 6 gigs, equal to my RAM. | 21:57 |
| gordonjcp | glycan: why can't graphics "multitask"? | 21:57 |
| glycan | because everything slows down to a crawl | 21:58 |
| gordonjcp | BlueProtoman: you can fit an install into about 8GB, but you really want more | 21:58 |
| Dr_Willis | BlueProtoman: depends on your needs. perhaps 50 for / if you want to be sure you never run out. rest for home and swap. for 6gb of ram. You really only need 6+gb of swap if you plan on using that suspend-to-ram stuff. | 21:58 |
| gordonjcp | glycan: then your system is too old, or broken | 21:58 |
| Dr_Willis | ive filled up 30gb / befor. ;) | 21:58 |
| AdityaRaj | i dont really care about that | 21:58 |
| gordonjcp | glycan: come and have some 512MB P4 machines, free for the taking. They run normal Unity desktop just fine | 21:59 |
| AdityaRaj | SonikkuAmerica, it is a 32gb drive i can use it whole | 21:59 |
| AdityaRaj | i want to make it a bootable pendrive to install ubuntu on my laptop | 21:59 |
| glycan | free? | 21:59 |
| glycan | o.0 | 21:59 |
| gordonjcp | glycan: oh okay | 21:59 |
| gordonjcp | glycan: haul away four and I'll pay your petrol | 21:59 |
| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: To span the whole USB stick, type in >>> mkpartfs primary fat32 0 32768 | 21:59 |
| glycan | is this like a free-as-in-liberty kind of thing? | 21:59 |
| Dr_Willis | but he lives on the south pole. ;) | 22:00 |
| gordonjcp | glycan: this is free-as-in-get-the-damn-things-out-of-my-workshop thing | 22:00 |
| glycan | oh | 22:00 |
| gordonjcp | glycan: they are not, however inexpensive-as-in-won't-guzzle-electricity | 22:00 |
| AdityaRaj | SonikkuAmerica, i get Error: The location 32768 is outside of the device /dev/sdc. | 22:00 |
| glycan | heh. In all honesty, I've grown to prefer this to what lubuntu looks like | 22:00 |
| AdityaRaj | there is already a partition there | 22:01 |
| AdityaRaj | maybe we need to delete that first? | 22:01 |
| glycan | and I can always just turn on graphics to watch moveis or whatever | 22:01 |
| glycan | movies* | 22:01 |
| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: Oh! No need to delete it... | 22:01 |
| gordonjcp | glycan: here's a funny one | 22:01 |
| glycan | gordonjcp: pardon? | 22:01 |
| gordonjcp | glycan: open two terminals, and then open the settings panel in LXDE | 22:01 |
| gordonjcp | glycan: change the window manager theme in LXDE | 22:01 |
| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: Simply change the filesystem type with >>> mkfs 1 fat32 | 22:02 |
| gordonjcp | glycan: change it a few times, in fact | 22:02 |
| gordonjcp | glycan: what has happened to the terminals? | 22:02 |
| glycan | is this supposed to be a lubuntu-is-buggy thing? | 22:02 |
| BlueProtoman | Dr_Willis: Is it a problem if the swap size is *just under* 6GB (my RAM)? | 22:02 |
| gordonjcp | glycan: it's a bug that's been there for three years | 22:02 |
| LeftCheekSneak | I never heard of lunbuntu, going to have to look into it. | 22:03 |
| SonikkuAmerica | LeftCheekSneak: www.lubuntu.net | 22:03 |
| AdityaRaj | i got invalid token 1 | 22:03 |
| irssi-mike | gordonjcp: just gonna say about firefox, i'm on 1gb ram, give midori a try | 22:03 |
| LeftCheekSneak | Thank you SonikkuAmerica | 22:03 |
| gordonjcp | irssi-mike: midori doesn't really work well | 22:04 |
| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: type >>> quit <<< then reinvoke it with [ sudo parted /dev/sdc1 ] and see what happens. | 22:04 |
| LeftCheekSneak | Soni, from what I just read, it sounds like it would be a perfert port for a raspberrypi. | 22:05 |
| AdityaRaj | SonikkuAmerica, i got invalid token 1 | 22:05 |
| Dr_Willis | BlueProtoman: only if you want to use that suspend to ram stuff. *i never use that feature* so i can get by with veyr lkittle swap on my mahcines | 22:05 |
| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: Did you exit parted? | 22:05 |
| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: And reinvoke it for /dev/sdc1 | 22:06 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ? | 22:06 |
| BlueProtoman | Dr_Willis: I do plan on using it, but I want to be sure that being a few megabytes shy doesn't botch it all up, as getting the exact amounts right is a pain. | 22:06 |
| Dr_Willis | BlueProtoman: if you plan on using it - you want to use ram+a little bit more i imagine | 22:06 |
| AdityaRaj | SonikkuAmerica, no i did not i am still on that console only | 22:06 |
| Dr_Willis | since if may totally fail if its less then ram size | 22:06 |
| jmgk | hmm | 22:06 |
| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: Go ahead and quit parted (type "quit") and reinvoke parted for /dev/sdc1 : [ sudo parted /dev/sdc1 ] | 22:07 |
| BlueProtoman | Dr_Willis: What's "a little bit more", half a gig? A quarter? | 22:07 |
| === daniel is now known as Guest53284 | ||
| Dr_Willis | 256 mb to 512 id say | 22:07 |
| BlueProtoman | 512 it is. | 22:08 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont even think i have swap on this 8gb machine. | 22:08 |
| Guest53284 | So when i want to scroll on a page i just push my cursor to the right side of the screen and click and drag, only problem is if you're really on the edge you can't select the scroll bar, is there any way to fix? | 22:08 |
| AdityaRaj | SonikkuAmerica, Error: Could not stat device /dev/sdc1 - No such file or directory. | 22:08 |
| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: OK, then we're doing it right... [ sudo parted -l ] please. | 22:09 |
| BlueProtoman | Dr_Willis: Does Linux run faster if I order the /home, system, and swap partitions in a certain way? | 22:09 |
| Dr_Willis | BlueProtoman: i doubt if it will matter in any measureable way. Having them on differnt hard drives can help ;) but i doubt if it will be very noticeable for most desktop-ussage-cases | 22:10 |
| BlueProtoman | Dr_Willis: What would you say is not in "most", out of curiosity? | 22:10 |
| Dr_Willis | BlueProtoman: years ago having swap across differnt hard drives was a common trick. but these days - people use swap less and less | 22:10 |
| AdityaRaj | SonikkuAmerica, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6160601/ | 22:11 |
| Dr_Willis | BlueProtoman: you doing anything weird with the system? or just daily common tasks.. if you want the best speed boost. get a SSD drive. ;) | 22:11 |
| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: There isn't even a partition on /dev/sdc . | 22:11 |
| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: We need to make one. Type >>> mkpartfs primary fat32 0 32767 | 22:12 |
| BlueProtoman | Dr_Willis: Coding games doesn't count as "weird", so I supposed not. Just trying to be sure, as I want to get this right now rather than later. | 22:12 |
| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: NOTE THE DIFFERENCE! | 22:12 |
| AdityaRaj | SonikkuAmerica, still got the same error: Error: The location 32767 is outside of the device /dev/sdc. | 22:13 |
| BlueProtoman | Dr_Willis: One more thing. When I removed the old Ubuntu partition in the partitioner, an NTFS partition on my drive (which I gave to Windows, but not for system files) took on the Ubuntu label in the "System" column. Is that something I should be concerned about? | 22:13 |
| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: You said before you had repo issues trying to install GParted. | 22:14 |
| AdityaRaj | yes | 22:15 |
| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: Mind a pastebin of [ sudo apt-get update ] | 22:15 |

| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: The bad news is, since Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty) is dead, its repos are no longer active. | 22:27 |
| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: Therefore, you have an impossible situation in terms of fetching stuff from the server. | 22:28 |

| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: The thing with the top bar and the icons on the left side of the screen. | 22:29 |
| AdityaRaj | daftykins, i do not update.. i installed it once and then i ignore the updates | 22:29 |
| Dr_Willis | BlueProtoman: sorry. i got to head to work. be back in about an hr or so. | 22:29 |
| Heeeeelp | i cant take a screenshot | 22:30 |

| daftykins | AdityaRaj: to a newer version i mean... also i said upgrade not update | 22:30 |
| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: I'll tell ya right now, what you said to daftykins - bad idea. | 22:30 |
| Dr_Willis | peyam: to record from what :) I use cheese to record from my webcam/video capture device.. good luck. | 22:30 |
| ikonia | Heeeeelp: why not ? | 22:30 |
| peyam | for my camera | 22:30 |
| AdityaRaj | SonikkuAmerica, well i live in the fear of breaking things after update | 22:30 |

| daftykins | AdityaRaj: i take it you don't do anything online that would make you unsafe with that outdated system? | 22:31 |
| Heeeeelp | sorry about repost | 22:31 |
| ikonia | Heeeeelp: yes, I told you, it's doubtful it's saying that, please take a screen shot or explain why you can't | 22:31 |
| Heeeeelp | i copied and pasted the same thing hold on | 22:31 |
| peyam | Heeeeelp: do you follow the installation steps as explained on the website? | 22:31 |
| peyam | Heeeeelp: how do you install ubuntu? CD?Usb? | 22:32 |
| Heeeeelp | CD | 22:32 |
| Heeeeelp | i followed exactly | 22:32 |
| AdityaRaj | daftykins, i do a lot of things online.. infact i am 24x7 online | 22:32 |
| Heeeeelp | but they leave out the problem parts :P | 22:32 |
| AdityaRaj | daftykins, no you are scaring me | 22:33 |
| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: I asked if you used Ubuntu mainly because I want to point you to the right image. | 22:33 |

| Heeeeelp | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1237721 this is my issue | 22:33 |
| AdityaRaj | SonikkuAmerica, mainly ? | 22:33 |
| Heeeeelp | his problem is simular to mine | 22:33 |
| BlueProtoman | Which partition should I install the device bootloader on when installing Ubuntu? | 22:34 |
| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: Or did you want GNOME, KDE, XFCE, LXDE...? | 22:34 |
| daftykins | BlueProtoman: /dev/sda if there's one disk and only ubuntu, no other OS | 22:34 |
| AdityaRaj | SonikkuAmerica, i am so sorry but i dont even know the difference | 22:34 |
| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: My point being, you need to release upgrade. | 22:34 |
| AdityaRaj | ok | 22:34 |
| peyam | Heeeeelp: choose ext3 as explained in the link you just posted | 22:34 |
| ikonia | Heeeeelp: and you're booting from a cdrom - not a usb ? | 22:35 |
| BlueProtoman | daftykins: I dual-boot Ubuntu and Windows 7. I have Ubuntu now, but I'm reinstalling it. | 22:35 |
| Heeeeelp | for all of them | 22:35 |
| Heeeeelp | ext 4 isnt better? | 22:35 |
| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: Head for www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop and pick either Ubuntu 12.04 LTS or Ubuntu 13.04 (I'd recommend the former for you). | 22:35 |
| daftykins | BlueProtoman: so what's on the disk right now? | 22:35 |
| ikonia | ext4 is better, yes | 22:35 |
| peyam | Heeeeelp: never used ext3 but it might help | 22:35 |
| ikonia | (for your needs) | 22:35 |
| Heeeeelp | they why can i not use ext4 then i would rather | 22:36 |
| AdityaRaj | SonikkuAmerica, but i wont be able to use it !! | 22:36 |
| ikonia | the file system on your machine is not really important, it seems to suggest you're trying to partition the cdrom | 22:36 |
| AdityaRaj | as i would again need to make a bootable drive and i cant | 22:36 |
| ikonia | Heeeeelp: can you please take a screen shot of the partition screen | 22:36 |
| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: I don't understand... what do you mean you won't be able to use it? | 22:36 |
| AdityaRaj | i already have image for 12.04 | 22:36 |
| BlueProtoman | daftykins: A Windows 7 partition (ntfs), an NTFS partition I made for Windows 7 (that contains no system files), and at present an Ubuntu partition with swap, plus some miscellaneous partitions for system restore, bootup, etc. | 22:36 |
| Heeeeelp | I have now way of doing that | 22:36 |
| Heeeeelp | it freezes at that point | 22:36 |
| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: Press the Windows logo key and type in "startup disk creator" | 22:36 |
| AdityaRaj | SonikkuAmerica, i cant burn a disc , dont have a dvd writter.. so i need to make a bootable pen drive | 22:37 |
| ikonia | Heeeeelp: don't actually press the click that makes the message appear, just get a screen shot of the partitioner layout pleaes | 22:37 |
| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: That's what Startup Disk Creator does. | 22:37 |
| Heeeeelp | i can take a picture with my phone | 22:37 |
| Heeeeelp | thats about it | 22:37 |
| ikonia | Heeeeelp: if you press print screen it should take a screen shot | 22:38 |
| AdityaRaj | SonikkuAmerica, i dont have a cd drive on my system | 22:38 |
| Heeeeelp | and then what...the computer doesnt have any folders or anything to do that | 22:38 |
| Heeeeelp | I do not have any operating system | 22:38 |
| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: The Startup Disk Creator is for creating bootable USB pendrives with Linux OSes. | 22:39 |
| ikonia | Heeeeelp: the livecd your installing from is the operating system | 22:39 |
| AdityaRaj | can you give me a link to the startup disk creator | 22:39 |
| daftykins | BlueProtoman: does it have the ~100MB boot partition in front of C: for win7? | 22:39 |
| AdityaRaj | SonikkuAmerica, i have been using ubootnetin to no resolve | 22:39 |
| BlueProtoman | daftykins: Yes. | 22:39 |
| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: In a terminal, [ usb-creator-gtk & ] | 22:39 |
| daftykins | BlueProtoman: i'd have thought on that would work | 22:40 |
| BlueProtoman | daftykins: I don't have any issues at present with Ubuntu and Windows 7. I'm just trying to keep it that way by making sure. | 22:40 |
| BlueProtoman | daftykins: So installing to /dev/sda; yes or no? | 22:40 |

| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: 11.04 (a) is no longer supported and (b) wasn't an LTS. | 22:41 |
| AdityaRaj | sorry, you must think i am fool | 22:41 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !11.04 | 22:41 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) was the fourteenth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on October 28, 2012. See !upgrade, !lts and !eol for more details. | 22:41 |
| BlueProtoman | daftykins: But my question. Which partition should I install the bootloader on? | 22:41 |
| AdityaRaj | so which version do you recommend me to download? | 22:41 |
| daftykins | i thought i'd answered that | 22:41 |
| SonikkuAmerica | AdityaRaj: 12.04 LTS. | 22:42 |
| BlueProtoman | daftykins: You did? | 22:42 |
| AdityaRaj | ok going to download that now and install it fresh on my machine.. see you after that | 22:42 |

| Vivekananda | hello anyone can gimme ny clue to my problem | 23:14 |
| Vivekananda | I initially installed lubuntu and then the ubuntu-desktop. I have a primary ntfs , an extended with ubuntu in it and a third ntfs partition.

| dr_willis | you trying to chmid a file on a ntfs partition? | 23:15 |
| nicu_ | yo | 23:17 |
| Vivekananda | dr_willis: hello :) | 23:17 |
| Vivekananda | and yes I am trying to make a script executable which is at present on a ntfs partitions | 23:17 |
| Vivekananda | partition* | 23:17 |
| dr_willis | so you will basically mount the ntfs - with the options that make EVErY file on the ntfs executable. | 23:18 |
| dr_willis | thats the fmask=0000 option i think. | 23:18 |
| dr_willis | i seem to recall the ntfs-3g homepage/faq/guides having some dettails on this. normally i dont ever want the files on my ntfs to be edecutable | 23:19 |
| dr_willis | of course even if they are not executable you could still do a 'bash ./whatver.sh' | 23:19 |
| Vivekananda | dr_willis: if you look above I tried to do that according to the askubuntu link I posted. but after trying that and rebooting what I have is just one folder under /media called yojimbo and it has been mounted but | 23:19 |
| Vivekananda | I see another folder named 'Yojimbo' also. on a double click it says --- Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened.he volume may be already mounted, or another software may use it which | 23:20 |
| Vivekananda | could be identified for example by the help of the 'fuser' command. | 23:20 |
| dr_willis | Vivekananda: i would unmount it . then give us the mount command or fstab line you are using. | 23:21 |
| dr_willis | sounds like the fstab entry and the nautilus auto mounting stuff are fighting. id stick to the shell for now to verify it is mounting how you want | 23:21 |
| Vivekananda | okay let me do it. But just so you know there is just one of the 'yojimbos' mounted and the other is not | 23:22 |
| dr_willis | id use a differnt name for the mountpoint also. like /mnt/MyDrive | 23:22 |
| dr_willis | the automounting system gets the mountpoint name from the disks label. | 23:22 |
| Vivekananda | https://gist.github.com/vvikramjhu/6722004 | 23:23 |
| Vivekananda | dr_willis: in that case I will delete the label as one is enough isnt it ? | 23:23 |
| dr_willis | you could have just pasted the single line for the ntfs-3g device. ;) | 23:24 |
| dr_willis | ive never seen the 'permissions' option used in fstab like that.. may be a new ntfs-3g option ive never heard of. | 23:24 |
| dr_willis | OR it could be incorrect option. | 23:24 |
| Vivekananda | here is what you see on my desktop now ( after unmounting) http://imagebin.org/272030 | 23:25 |
| dr_willis | id change the fstab to be like mounting to /media/TestDrive and try the fmask=0000 option | 23:25 |
| Vivekananda | dr_willis: could you gimme the full command ? | 23:26 |
| Vivekananda | also should I delete the label for now ? | 23:26 |
| dr_willis | what 'label' are you refering to? | 23:26 |
| dr_willis | the Label is the name on the filesystem. You dont just delete it. | 23:26 |
| miaqinas | hi dr willis..hw about u now? | 23:26 |
| dr_willis | paste that ntfs-3g fstab entry here for others to see.. they may notice any other issues with it. Im on my phone so its hard ro me to jump back and forth btween browsers and the irc | 23:27 |
| Vivekananda | I mean that while using the gparted I had put a 'label' on the ntfs drive and it was 'Yojimbo'. After that I included that fstab line I showed you with the exact same string as mountpoint ie 'Yojimbo'. But now I get two 'Yojimbo' as you see in the screenshot | 23:28 |
| Vivekananda | okay hold on | 23:28 |
| Vivekananda | UUID=41B9013F54905221 /media/Yojimbo ntfs-3g auto,users,permissions 0 0 | 23:28 |
| Vivekananda | but why am I having this issue now | 23:29 |
| Vivekananda | did not have it before | 23:29 |
| Vivekananda | should I format the partiiton to ext3 or 4 ? | 23:29 |
| Vivekananda | this is killing valuable time for me | 23:29 |
| dr_willis | ive never seen the 'permissions' option EVER mentioned in the ntfs-3g docs. | 23:30 |
| dr_willis | where did you read about that option? | 23:30 |
| dr_willis | typical ntfs-3g entry for me would be ... | 23:30 |
| dr_willis | sudo mount -t ntfs -o fmask=0022,dmask=0000,uid=1000,gid=1000 DRIVE /media/vista | 23:31 |
| dr_willis | in fstab terms | 23:31 |
| dr_willis | /dev/sda1 /media/thedrive ntfs-3g uid=1000,fmask=0022,dmask=0000 0 0 | 23:31 |
| dr_willis | i tink. | 23:31 |
| Vivekananda | dr_willis I followed this ---http://askubuntu.com/questions/11840/how-to-chmod-on-an-ntfs-or-fat32-partition | 23:32 |
| Vivekananda | I went to the choice with 8 hits | 23:32 |
| Vivekananda | okay | 23:32 |
| Vivekananda | let me try that | 23:32 |
| dr_willis | i think the CORE of the issue is that example is using the word 'permissions' to mean 'You set the permission options how you want' not the literal word 'permissions | 23:33 |
| dr_willis | because EVERY other example shows using the umask,fmask, and dmask options | 23:33 |
| dr_willis | unless anyone else has ever seen ntfs-3g use a 'permissions' option? | 23:34 |
| dr_willis | i gott a meeting to go to.. bck in about 20 min | 23:34 |
| Vivekananda | okay but | 23:35 |
| Vivekananda | what do I do about the second Yojimbo? | 23:35 |
| Vivekananda | how do I remove that ? | 23:35 |
| ukd1 | How good is ubuntu on a macbook pro retina? Do external thunderbolt displays work? | 23:38 |
| ikonia | ukd1: thunderbolt = nope, retina = not great | 23:38 |
| ukd1 | *by good I mean, supported; wifi, drivers, sleep etc. | 23:38 |
| ukd1 | ok | 23:38 |
| ukd1 | ikonia, any idea what works and doesn't? | 23:39 |
| daftykins | last i read, any thunderbolt usage causes mass CPU load that renders the OS unusable | 23:39 |
| ikonia | ukd1: there is a page on the wiki, but in general thunderbolt displays, no, I'm currently trying to get something out of a thinkpad with thunderbolt display, | 23:39 |
| ikonia | daftykins: I'm not seeing that at all, I'm seeing a real lack of actual supported device identification | 23:40 |
| ukd1 | ikonia, ok! It's a shame as I'd rather be running ubuntu, but I have 2x thunderbolt so would be a waste. | 23:40 |
| ukd1 | you having any luck with the thinkpad? | 23:40 |
| MoleMan | Could someone help me work out why my system doesn't resume from hibernate? I have set the resume= tag in Grub,might it be related to the swap being encrypted? the ouput from blikd for the swap is "/dev/mapper/cryptswap1: (blahblah)", using 13.04, with partitions automatically setup by Ubuntu during install | 23:40 |
| loa | how i can downgrade chrome? | 23:40 |
| ikonia | ukd1: funny, thats why I've been playing with it too. | 23:40 |
| MoleMan | ikonia: will recreating just the partition work? or would it be easier to just reinstall completely considering I only installed the other day and don't have much set up | 23:40 |
| ikonia | ukd1: no, thunderbolt in general, not mac/other platform seems to be th eproblem | 23:40 |
| ukd1 | what's needed for it to work? | 23:41 |
| ukd1 | ok | 23:41 |
| ikonia | MoleMan: I'd do a clean unencypted setup, then move forward | 23:41 |
| ikonia | ukd1: at the moment, I don't think it's possible/supported from my research, | 23:41 |
| ikonia | ukd1: I've only been playing with it for a few days though, so I've not done/tried everything yet | 23:41 |
| MoleMan | so if I choose to encrypt my home dir, does that trigger the swap to be encrypted as well? I chose to encrypt my home dir but never saw an option for the SWAP | 23:42 |
| ikonia | ukd1: research suggests it's a total none working situation | 23:42 |
| ikonia | MoleMan: I would do totally unencypted to validate | 23:42 |
| ikonia | MoleMan: then move forward from there | 23:42 |
| MoleMan | okay | 23:42 |
| daftykins | ikonia: oh well if you're not seeing it... ;) | 23:43 |
| ikonia | daftykins: I'm not seeing much else though to be honest | 23:44 |
| daftykins | ikonia: i think this was with a thunderbolt display come to think of it, may've been old too | 23:46 |
