ikoniadavid_: use lamp instead00:07
david_xamp is lamp00:07
ikoniadavid_: no it's not00:07
ikoniadavid_: it's a selfcontained version that can cause a lot of problems00:07

f00bar80anybody can point me on how to automate servers' ssh remote access without using keys?00:09
ikoniabecause it's not controlled by the package manager, it can cause conflicts with the ubuntu installed packages/services, it's totally self contained for "generic" linux, it's not aware of the init system00:09
ikoniaI can go on.....00:10
bwaynef00bar80: you want to be able to log in automatically without using a key?00:11
david_so what is the website to install lamp, im just learning all this for the first time and just want to set my self up so I can start learning PHP.00:11
ikonia!lamp | david_00:11
ubottudavid_: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process.00:11
david_wow theres a lot of information in that link, do i really need to go through all of that ?00:13
daftykinsdavid_: "website to install LAMP" what do you mean exactly?00:18
ikoniadavid_: yes, if you want to understand it properly, you need to do that00:19
ikoniadavid_: you only need to install the components you need00:19
jmgkFor Wine00:20
ikoniadavid_: if you actually read the first section, you'll see the short cuts00:20
jmgkWill Ubuntu 10.04 support it?00:20
jmgkNot sure if its still supported00:20
ikoniadavid_: first fiew lines gives you the 1 command you need00:20

yoojinHello. Ubuntu GNOME 13.04 does not work out of the box with my laptop sound card, based on a Realtek ALC889 chip. This is actually a regression, but I am not sure how to fix it. Attatched is a link which is unintelligible to me, myself, but may be related or no. Will follow directions to resolve this issue if ANYBODY is willing to help!! https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2013-February/026143.html01:08

nevynyoojin: what kernel are you running?01:09
yoojinnevyn: How can I determine that, easily?01:10
yoojinnevyn: I believe 3.11.0-8-generic... But need verification.01:11
yoojinnevyn: Okay, nevermind, that is correct - 3.11.0-8-generic01:12
Heeeeelpcan someone assist me in installing ubuntu on my new build01:13
yoojinnevyn: I've thought of going into the bios and changing modes to the older AC'97 as a fallback plan...01:13
DeepfriediceHeeeeelp, Are you trying to dual boot or running into problems?01:14
Heeeeelpjust problems01:15
yoojinThis is my precise problem. How can this solution be implemented? http://www.spinics.net/lists/stable-commits/msg19502.html01:16
DeepfriediceHeeeeelp, Specifically?01:16
phunyguyyoojin: you can compile your own kernel with the patches applied, or file a bug report on Launchpad01:16
yoojinphunyguy: This isn't something I've done before so I may need to do both. Can I trouble you for a little more assistance? I'm sure the linux community needs the bug report.01:17
phunyguyunfortunately I think your best course of action would be to let Ubuntu handle it.  The turnaround time shouldn't be too bad.01:18
phunyguycompiling your own kernel isn't for the faint of heart.01:18
yoojinWell, I would love the opportunity to learn.01:18
yoojinDo you think there is a guide which may help?01:18
phunyguy!kernel | yoojin01:19
ubottuyoojin: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages)01:19
phunyguyyoojin: see the special sections labeled: "Reasons for NOT compiling a custom kernel" and "Reasons for compiling a custom kernel"01:21
phunyguyand make your choice. :)01:22
linuxuz3rwhy whats the reason01:22
=== lafiro is now known as Beothoric
phunyguylinuxuz3r: he has a special case that was fixed with a patch for 3.501:22
nevynyoojin: you could just set a model parameter by hand on the audio driver01:22
phunyguyif that patch isn't in Ubuntu......01:23
phunyguythat too.01:23
yoojinWoah. Yeah, that does look foreboding. So, the patch I linked earlier from http://www.spinics.net/lists/stable-commits/msg19502.html -- Let me get this straight. That link contains C code. a modified portion of the source files to the linux kernel?01:23
phunyguyyoojin: indeed.01:23
nevynso that code just autodetects the pci id and configures the widget -> dac map based on a special set of rules because the acpi tables lie.01:23
phunyguythat page also says it has been added to the stable tree01:24
yoojinSo the hardware doesn't get identified and it's an uphill struggle to maintain compatibility on the part of the kernel programmers due to the quirks of various hardware manufacturers?   ...great. So, I did read that it was fixed in 3.5, however there has since been a regression that isn't documented on google as far as I can tell.01:25
phunyguyhowever I am not sure what "Stable tree" refers to in this context01:25
yoojinThe stable tree of the Linux kernel, I 'think'.01:26
nevynphunyguy: umm that it's been merged by linus (hopefully via takashi)01:27
phunyguyhopefully.01:27
phunyguybbiab.01:27
phunyguyhope I helped.01:27
yoojinWell, yes. In theory you told me it's fixed or I can wait. I feel that there must be some kind of action I could be taking and don't know what to do, so that's a bit frustrating in and of itself.01:28
nevynyoojin: you could just set a model parameter by hand on the audio driver01:28
yoojinnevyn: I'll run with that and come back and thank you if you're still on.01:29
nevynso in /etc/modules.d/audio.conf put the line options snd-hda-intel model="insertcorrectmodelhere"01:29
nevynthen reboot01:29
yoojinWOW, you mean Like with a text editor? I'm on it. Thank you so much, much hope now.01:31
yoojinI wish the reasoning behind where to find these files was self-evident. I feel like an idiot at times.01:31
nevyn11:30 < yoojin> Woah. Yeah, that does look foreboding. So, the patch I linked earlier from http://www.spinics.net/lists/stable-commits/msg19502.html -- Let me get this straight. That link01:31
nevyn                contains C code. a modified portion of the source files to the linux kernel?01:31

=== line is now known as what`s_my_line
deezedanyway guys, my thing is, I cant configure wine. Just if I use playonlinux. I can't just launch 'configure wine'. Do you know why is that?01:39
yoojinyes, I have done that.01:40
reisiohualet_deepin: if it can detect your palm, then it can distinguish it from a finger or stylus, and potentially ignore it01:40
yoojinmodprobe reload it or restart my computer?01:40
reisiohualet_deepin: quite useful for, for example, being able to write on a tablet naturally (with your palm resting on the surface as well)01:40
reisioalso frequently useful just for typing with a touchpad under "hand"01:40
linuxuz3rim stuck with booting ubuntu after installing kde im stuck at loading initrd.img01:41
linuxuz3rcan someone help01:41
what`s_my_linehow would kde mess up your init01:41
nevynhualet_deepin: it's automatic detection of when the palm of your hand touches the touchpad and ignoring it.01:42
nevynit has a sensitivity parameter...01:42
linuxuz3rwell i dont know01:42
hualet_deepinnevyn, reisio, thanks a lot, i think it's clear for me now..01:43
nevynyoojin: you need to unload and reload the snd-hda-intel module01:45
yoojinnevyn: after reboot, no discernible change.01:45
yoojinI'll try reloading it, double checking my bios settings, and if you're around i'll be back.01:45
nevyncan you pastebin the contents of alsa-base?01:45
yoojinyoojin@Chrononaut:~$ sudo modprobe --remove snd-hda-intel01:46
yoojinFATAL: Module snd_hda_intel is in use.01:46
nevynyeah you'll need to stop pa.. most likely01:47
yoojindunno whachya mean. restarting anyways, as that's just as good.01:47
nevynecho "autospawn = false" > ~/.pulse/client.conf && pactl exit01:47
nevynthen it should unload01:47

yoojinMangaKaDenza, You can try that but in my experience anything but the default interface leaves little glitches here and there. Try it out though, it's fun what you can do!02:37
yoojinMangaKaDenza, If you don't mind me saying so though, you're headed in the wrong direction buddy! Using the terminal can be hard at first but it puts the entire system closer to your fingertips without having to dig through menus.02:38
yoojinMangaKaDenza, If theres anything you're having trouble with try the [[ $anycommand -help  $anycommand --help, or $man anycommand ]]02:39
MangaKaDenzaoh no...02:39
MangaKaDenzaits not that the terminal is hard02:40
MangaKaDenzaits that i'm not supposed to have linux on this comp02:40

yoojinMangaKaDenza, I used to have to do that. Anything you can do can be undone. No matter how scary you feel it is, or whoever paid for your computer, or work / parents/ etc. It can be fixed. Period. Just look at it that way and you'll be okay.02:41
yoojinMangaKaDenza, One thing, though, you can do, is Dual Boot install your computer, and make windows the Default choice to boot up, hide the GRUB menu, and make it so you have to hold a key to boot into linux. Bam, you're own, secret lab for anything you want to do.02:42

EjemyYeah, this is the first I'm hearing of UEFI and I'm not sure what I'm doing when messing around with that.05:07
irssi-mikeEjemy: my asus after i change the priority requires me to hold esc at bios to choose the device i want regardless of order05:07

Calinou13.04 has newer drivers08:03
Axylusis there a good reason why the Ubuntu installer creates the swap partition as a logical partition?08:03
Calinouwhat's your graphics card, jacobtapp?08:03
cfhowlettjacobtapp, and 13.10 is still in beta ...08:03
jnhghyI'd like to remove the closing button for a specific aplication only (the x from top bar) for rdesktop, first of all I'd like to know if this is possible, if it is...some search query for google that will give me this type of info will defenetly help.08:03
jacobtappGTX 780m08:03
varunendragreenut1, we can try directly editing the grub.cfg file, but adding that parameter temporarily at boot time would be safer (for testing)08:03
Calinoujacobtapp: don't install the driver normally for optimus08:03
Calinouyou have to use bumblebee08:03
varunendragreenut1, basically, you have to add "acpi_backlight=vendor" (without quotes) before "quiet splash" in the line that starts with "linux /boot....." and ends with "quiet splash"08:04
aeon-ltdAxylus: so it doesn't use up the limit of primaries?08:04
jacobtappWell it won't even boot08:04
aeon-ltdAxylus: honestly i have no real idea08:05
jacobtappOr X doesnt startup out of the box08:05
greenut1varunendra: i was looking at Software & Updates....  there is a options to change it.... Using Z.Org X server.... or Using Video driver for the AMD graphics accelerators ...Using Video driver for the AMD graphics accelerators from fglrx-updates.... if i change those options will it help?08:05
pandaroot-gamacfhowlett, yeah i understood that, what i meant was in apt/source.list the repos are same in server as well as desktop edition ? so the only main difference would be the tweaked kernel of the server edition.08:05
Axylusaeon-ltd, hmm… I'm not  sure either. I was just curious :)08:05
Calinouit's X.org not Z.org08:05
greenut1varunendra: ok, will do it.08:06
cfhowlettpandaroot-gama, repos are the same08:06
Calinouvarunendra: don't edit grub.cfg08:06
greenut1Calinou: I'm getting old... remember. lol08:06
pandaroot-gamacfhowlett, so that means only the kernel is different.08:06
cfhowlettpandaroot-gama, that's my understanding.08:06
greenut1was trying to type fast because the pace here is crazy.08:06
pandaroot-gamacfhowlett, ok, than let me research more into it.08:07
jacobtappAny other suggestions?08:07
abdelabdul08:07
Calinoujacobtapp: reinstall ubuntu, don't install the nvidia driver normally, use bumblebee08:07
Calinoualternatively: go to the BIOS, disable the IGP08:07
jacobtappCalinou: it didnt start up without nvidia installed08:07
Calinou(can reduce battery life)08:07
Calinouah08:07
greenut1Ok, will do it, Varunendra. Will contact you when i back, maybe tomorrow? will you be around?08:08
Calinouwell you should try disabling the IGP in the BIOS if possible08:08
jacobtappnot an option08:08
Calinoubumblebee will be better for your battery life, but performance will be quite lower than directly using the card08:08
jacobtappI understand that but I cant even get 12.04 to boot with or without nvidia. 13.04 worked fine out of the box08:09
Calinouthen use 13.0408:10
jacobtappBut 13.04 doesnt offer as much support for nvidia drivers. I dont even see 319 on apt-get08:10
greenut1varunendra: my wife is mad at me... i need to go. will contact with you tmrw if you're around.08:11
greenut1varunendra, thank you for trying to help me.08:12

jacobtappCalinou: what does that mean?08:14
CalinouPersonal Package Archives08:15
Calinoubasically, it adds more installable packages, but these are unsupported08:15
jacobtappThis is why people dont use linux lol08:15
jnhghyis there a way to change the button layout for a specifc app in gnome 3?08:15

pandaroot-gamacfhowlett, thanks :)08:16
jacobtappIm following guides08:16
Calinouit's not hard to install a PPA and install a more updated driver08:16
Calinouhowever don't install the driver by hand. it breaks everything08:16
jacobtappThat didnt come up once in my googl searches08:17
jacobtappAlso, is this because im on 64 bit. I remember that use to be a big pain08:17
survietaminehello08:18
Calinouit isn't anymore :P08:18
jacobtappAnyway is there a way to upgrade to 13.04 from 12.04 in command line08:18
penoshello08:18
survietamineon a 10.04 LTS, I cannot understand how to restart nfs/nis services correctly on a server08:18
CalinouI'd advise reinstalling :P08:19
survietamineon previous versions with only systemV, it was easy with nfs-common and nis in /etc/init.d/08:19
jonascjjacobtapp: besides Calinou's advice: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade08:19
alex_dolbyhi all.. i have an apt-mirror repo configured with system side packages08:19
cfhowlettjacobtapp, sudo apt-get dist-release to 12.10 then again to 13.04    clean install is recommended instead08:19
Calinouthat works, yeah08:19
alex_dolbyhow will i create a new repo branch to put my customized debs in it08:19
jacobtappwell i dont have access to a computer besides this one with command line or w/e its called08:20
alex_dolbyi know how to do in yum repo .. but i am new to apt mirror stuff08:20

PLMghey, trying to install ubuntu server 10.04 from flash diskand I run into a bit of trouble08:31
Ben64PLMg: you really should be installing 12.04, 10.04 is ancient08:31
InFlamesPLMg, what kind of trouble08:31
PLMgI got this message Your installation CD-couldn't be mounted, so I am trying to follow this link http://www.mattkowalczyk.com/blog/?p=16908:32
varunendrajacobtapp, for downloading, torrents are recommended : http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads08:32
survietaminebazhang: when I do `restart portmap` the pid is the same :/08:32
PLMgbut I have issues with this step: mount -t iso9660 -o loop /media/usb/ubuntu-12.04-server-amd64.iso08:32
gordonjcpPLMg: I'm not surprised08:32
gordonjcpPLMg: none of that makes sense08:32
PLMgok...08:32
Ben64it makes some sense, but installing 10.04 doesn't make sense08:33
gordonjcpPLMg: have you got a second USB stick, with the iso on it *as a file*?08:33
gordonjcpBen64: that's just one of the things that makes no sense08:33
penosu need mount point08:33

PLMgsadly I need it for bigbluebutton that works only with 10.0408:34
nathanbzsudo apt-get install --reinstall mod-security08:34
nathanbzshouldn't that force reinstall mod-security ?08:34
nathanbzit's not remaking the /etc/modsecurity folder with files in it :/08:35
InFlamesPLMg, it claims that bigbluebutton has simply not been tested on later, it's possible it's stable...08:35
PLMgI did try it, failed a lot08:35
dr_williswhy are you mounting the iso image anyway?08:35
gordonjcpPLMg: what's bigbluebutton?08:35
PLMgYour installation CD-couldn't be mounted. This probably means that the CD-ROM was not in the drive. If so you can insert it and try again08:36

gordonjcpPLMg: and, are you okay with it only working until next month?08:36
PLMgif u refer to security issues its fine08:36
PLMgbbb is a voice conference server08:37
PLMgso you are saying that following the guide in the page I linked earlier is a bad idea?08:38
dr_willisbest idea may be to run it in a virtualbox vm on a supported  release.08:38
PLMgsadly that is not possible08:39

Ben64virtualbox does x64...08:39

PLMghmm, now I fee lsilly08:39
PLMgbut anyway, this pc is a bit limited, so I would like to install ubuntu on a real machine08:39
InFlameswell at least that might make your life easier08:40
PLMgif I do ls /dev/sd* I get 5 drives08:41
PLMgin the pc there is only one hdd with 2 partitions08:41
PLMgI do not need the data from the hdd08:41

dr_willis'sudo blkid' may give better info PLMg08:42
PLMgok, now I know I need sdb108:42

wyldesharpshooter: is openssh-server installed and running on the system you're trying to connect to? If so you may have to check your router settings as the wlan may be blocked from accessing devices on the "wired" lan.10:16
MrJones_as soon as I pick download installer components it blanks out to the purple background with no information to what is happening at all... what should I do?

MrJones_albert_: I'm intentionally using the mini network iso10:23
MrJones_because this computer is non-pae10:23
MrJones_so does download installer components fire up the X server? or why would it hang exactly at that stage10:23
MrJones_anyway for nomodeset, I'm just not sure where to specify this on a minimal text install..10:24
MrJones_the post just covers livecd and installed systems10:24

MrJones_I cannot even download the installer components, I doubt I can specify that I just want the base system or anything else10:28
MrJones_also I just tried command line expert install, same thing: blanks to violet when I pick download installer components10:28

MrJones_so is someone familiar with the text install around? I would really love to continue, but with the download installer components stage blanking out (TTY still works, I'm still in text mode, doesn't look like graphics mode/gpu hang!) I'm unable to proceed... command line install doesn't work either10:34
OerHeks!nomodeset10:34
ubottuA 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 parameter10:34
MrJones_OerHeks: you did read what I said, right?10:35
irssi-mikeMrJones_: the alternate cd is a text mode isntall10:35
MrJones_I don't think it applies because I'm still in text mode. if it DOES apply (nomodeset), I don't know how to set it because there is no point in text mode where it allows me to specify kernel options (or I can't find it).10:35
bing0719think you10:35
OerHeksnomodeset is only needed when your gui does not come up10:36
MrJones_I'm in text mode install, there is no graphical gui10:36
MrJones_or at least I don't think there is supposed to be one at any point10:36
bing0719ubottu: think you!10:36
MrJones_I picked command-line install, same thing. I don't think command line install has a clicky shiny gui10:36
nearzthello10:37
OerHeksone way to work around non-PAE is to install Lubuntu, and add ubuntu-desktop afterwards10:37
OerHeks Lubuntu does not use PAE kernel @ install10:37
MrJones_I'm in the installation, I can pick the language, the keyboard, the network settings... but when I get to the "download installer components" stage, it just blanks out. the computer is still responsive, I'm still in text mode (text cursor is there and I can type stuff which appears on screen), but there is simply no dialog box on screen. nothing. blank. TTY still works.10:37
nearztoh i love tty10:38
MrJones_OerHeks: is there a 12.04 lts lubuntu?10:40
OerHeksMrJones_, sure, but you can use 13.04 too10:43
irssi-mikeMrJones_: even in the mini iso, before you chose install you can f4 and choose install a minimal system10:43
irssi-mikei think10:43
MrJones_irssi-mike: at which point? I tried and nothing happens when I press f410:43
MrJones_in the boot menu with the install option, nothing happens when I press f4 or f510:43
ObrienDaveMrJones_... there is a 12.04 Lubuntu. not sure if it's LTS10:43
MrJones_well I would use a regular ubuntu 12.04 lts if someone can tell me how to get through the installation :P10:44
MrJones_in command-line install, ctrl+c does successfully bring me back to the install main menu10:44
MrJones_but another try at downloading installer components just blanks out again, so I can try infinitely and ctrl+c back to the menu10:44
MrJones_I can netcat and successfully get a response from google.de10:45
MrJones_so network is working just fine10:45
MrJones_OerHeks: I'm configuring this laptop for someone who doesn't need the most up to date software, so going with something that has support up to 2017 with no need to upgrade seems like a better idea10:46
MrJones_so I'm not really interested in a non-LTS version10:46

varunendramplex, I'm not very familiar with building stuff or compiling, only have *some* experience with some drivers. But it seems to me that such errors are a result of discrepancies between kernel header & program source code13:27
alfonsoi can't get despotify to work on ubuntu13:28
mplexok well I'll at least try a reboot to the latest kernel, the only time I've had this issues is where a binary was compiled against a different library than the one installed13:28
varunendramplex, as such, I think you should keep the kernel header version (and other 'build' essentials too) close to the release version of the program you are having problem with13:28
mplexhere I'm just also having a problem with tshark from the repository, I can't build wireshark either due to other library issues which are probably related but its a different issue13:29

theJeremybaphomet1: you can plug it in, let it mount, then unmount it manually, and remount it however you want.16:35
wilee-nilee!fstab | baphomet1 all over the web16:35
ubottubaphomet1 all over the web: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions16:35
wilee-nileebaphomet1, If its failing I would not have it in fstab.16:36
baphomet1theJeremy, not sure of the proper syntax to mount it as it appears in the fstab.16:36
baphomet1wilee-nilee, I know, but to properly remove it from the greyhole pool I need to at least have it there temporarily16:36
baphomet1wilee-nilee, right now the system is shutdown until I can figure out the best course of action that will minimize data loss16:37
theJeremybaphomet1: the hard way is to delve into udev(7) rules.16:37
wilee-nileebaphomet1, The bot has fstab info and multiple links at the bottom of the wiki.16:37
baphomet1wilee-nilee, my question is not about the fstab.  my question is about how to remount the USB drive so that it is in the same location as the drive currently resides in the fstab16:37
medoI have setup a working l2tp/ipsec vpn server - but none of my clients can use static ip's, they all seem to get overwritten by the address issued by ppp. Any help?16:38
theJeremybaphomet1: if you do "mount <mountpoint>" mount(8) will look up the device node in the fstab using "<mountpoint>" as a key.16:38
baphomet1theJeremy, in the <mountpoint> am I to put the actual mount point or do I leave that command as is?16:39
skinuxWhere do we set position windows are opened at?16:39
theJeremybaphomet1: but /etc/fstab is for persistent device usage. Don't use it for temporary stuff, unless you will need to remount it a lot of times for maintenance. Instead, just "mount <device> <mountpoint>".16:40
theJeremybaphomet1: whenever I said <mountpoint> you need to use your intended mountpoint.16:41
baphomet1theJeremy, once the data is moved out of the greyhole pool and off the device I will have it removed from the fstab.  it is only temporary because of how the pool is seeing it.  good to know the syntax :D.  just hoping the drive will live long enough to actually move data off.16:41
baphomet1theJeremy, thank you for the assistance!16:42
theJeremybaphomet1: YW. I'm payin' my dues to try and get some help with a hard one.16:42
=== cmagina is now known as cmagina-away
baphomet1theJeremy, just one more question for clarification.  you first suggested using "mount <mountpoint>" indicating that it would look up the device node (this means the USB device?) in the fstab using the <mountpoint> as the key.  you then suggested using "mount <device> <mountpoint>".  would you say the second method is more 'fool proof' as it were?16:44
hs366anyone updated Eclipse to new R2 version today ? if any experiences you have16:44
theJeremybaphomet1: the second form of mount command is explicit. That makes it less ambiguous, not fool-proof, but in that direction, yes.16:45
hs366R2 = SR116:45
baphomet1theJeremy, thanks!  I will run with that one.16:45
theJeremybaphomet1: good luck!16:45
baphomet1theJeremy, so it would be like "mount /media/usb1 (example) /dev/sdb1 (or however it appears in the fstab)" just want to make sure I have it correct16:46
theJeremybaphomet1: more like "mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb1"16:47
wheatthinbaphomet1, you might have to specify the filesystem type16:47

baphomet1theJeremy, noted.  I would hope it would pick up on the fact that it is ext4, but if not it's no biggie to specify it16:51
theJeremybaphomet1: YMMV, but you *may* want to try using dd to pull the raw blocks off the drive if it won't mount. dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=/your_bigstorage/broken_drive.img16:53

Markus_The ext4 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI2 (0,0,0) (sdb) failed. pm me.17:09
wheatthinall you have to do is generate the xorg.conf file and have it use "nv" as the driver instead of nvidia17:09
tux3i got a cd with iso that i have downloded17:09
jhutchinsTheSov: I don't know which driver you have, but yes, you can use the OS nvidia driver.  The exacct steps should be in that link above, or just reverse the process they use.  I believe you have to un-blacklist the OS driver.17:09
jhutchinsTheSov: Ah, so according to wheatthin, just make a copy of the file for when you later want to go back to nvidia and update it to use nv.17:10

blabliis it possible to mount /usr with --bind option ?17:26
blablion an ubuntu system17:26
baphomet1wheatthin, and DD doesn't care about the drive size used to pull down an img file?  the drive that is going out is 2TB, but maybe only a couple hundred gigs are in use.  I have a spare 1TB drive that I can DD it to tonight, but I want to be sure that wouldn't cause problems17:27
baphomet1wheatthin, judging by what theJeremy said, it looks like DD may panic if I do that17:27
yokobrhey guys, solved. I was out of free space on /boot17:28
yokobrthank you all17:28
wheatthinyeah the drive it will panic, cause it'll also try to copy the empty bits17:28
wheatthinso you must have the same size drive, or larger, never smaller17:28
baphomet1wheatthin, that is why he brought up the resizefs thing.  so I could DD it to a larger drive without issue then.  hmm.  I think my first step (read as the easiest step) is to have the drive mounted after boot to pull it out of the drive pool.17:29
baphomet1wheatthin, sorry to be a n00b, but at this point we are far beyond my own Linux knowledge.  so I just want to be sure I do things correctly.17:29
baphomet1wheatthin, so it looks like if I do the "mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb1" that will mount the possibly failing drive I have pulled and put in a USB dock to the same location that it used to reside in the fstab, short of possibly having to tell it the file system type, am I missing anything there?17:31
wheatthinit's not needed to be in fstab17:31
paul424is kubuntu binary compatible with ubuntu ?17:32
baphomet1wheatthin, the background here is that I am using greyhole (a samba storage pooling solution) and I need it in the fstab until I can remove the drive from the greyhole pool.17:32
wheatthinI see17:32
baphomet1wheatthin, so will the above command accomplish what I am trying to accomplish?17:32
wheatthinas long as /media/usb1 exists, if not create the directory17:33

Myrttipaul424: well deep down they're nearly the same thing, a bit like tea is still tea if it's poured from a teacup to a tea mug17:34
baphomet1wheatthin, so all that command is doing is pointing the mount point listed in the fstab at a different location, correct?17:34

Myrttipaul424: looks different from the outside - the repositories are same and the basic stuff is the same underneath the hood17:35
wheatthinand user permission17:35
baphomet1wheatthin, ok.  is user permission one of the flags you append to the mount command or is it something that I should write into the fstab?17:36

tech11i have problem with make step install gammamoo server. can people help me install it in my server, ubuntu?17:37
jhutchinswheatthin: usb drives tend to mount automatically via udev, which usually creates the appropriate mount point in /media/ - fstab entries are useful for setting options but not necessary.17:37
jhutchinspaul424: No need, just install KDE.17:38
wheatthinrgr.. I'll remember that jhutchins17:38

baphomet1wheatthin, so the command should look something like this on my system "mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/UUID_OF_FAILING_DRIVE /media/USB_DRIVE_LOCATION -t ext4" again noting that the device UUID that is being provided is the same device that is going to be mounted as a USB device.  does this seem correct?17:39

baphomet1wheatthin, "mount -t ext4 /dev/disk/by-uuid/UUID_OF_FAILING_DRIVE /media/USB_DRIVE_LOCATION" ok.  this is just strange to me because we are pointing something that already exists at itself in a different location hehe.17:40

dinesh__i m facing brightness problem in ubuntu 12.04 in sony vaio e- series17:50
baphomet1wheatthin, I am having a look at that link now17:51
JoeLinuxkirkland: I have another EC2 server that was built on another Ubuntu AMI, and it seems that when I type exit, it exits the SSH session instead of just ending the byobu session.17:51
dinesh__plz help me i m trying from a year today i came to know this irc channel17:51
JoeLinuxkirkland: Which is great because I always pick up where I left off, and don't kill the session by mistake.17:51
kirklandJoeLinux: so you want to exit byobu, and then remain in a shell on the remote system?17:51
JoeLinuxkirkland: Nope. End the session by typing "exit" once.17:51
kirklandJoeLinux: you want to type exit, thereby killing byobu AND logging out of your ssh session?17:52
baphomet1wheatthin, still makes my head spin thinking that we are pointing a drive at itself in a different location haha.  I never would have thought it possible.17:52
dinesh__any one here to solve my prob ?????17:52
JoeLinuxkirkland: Ugh, nevermind again. It seems that's also the default behavior. Please ignore my... uh... ignorance.17:52
kirklandJoeLinux: yep, that's exactly the default17:53
wheatthinbaphomet1, well the UUID is basically a shortcut to specifying the device17:53

gmachine_24Greetings. Can I add a line to /etc/fstab so an external USB hard drive will mount to the same place every time I boot the computer? I created the mount point, etc., and have the UUID for the drive but adding a standard line to /etc/fstab doesn't seem to work.17:53
bazhang!blkid | baphomet117:53
ubottubaphomet1: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)17:53
kirklandJoeLinux: no problem, always glad to see new Byobu users17:54
baphomet1wheatthin, yeah.  again as we are way out of the scope of my knowledge at this point, is there a reason why using the dev/by-uuid....wouldn't work?17:54
wheatthinbaphomet1, when specifying the mount point, all you're doing is giving you a physical place to access the device17:54
JoeLinuxkirkland: I've been using Screen for years, but never really played with Byobu.17:54
baphomet1bazhang, thanks for the suggestion, at this point we are far beyond that.17:54
JoeLinuxkirkland: Good stuf17:54

italian-cruncherhavv, did you check that you aren't using an IP already used on the network?19:47
italian-cruncherAdityaRaj, it depends on where you installed it. If you are running it as a live CD then no, it won't save anything unless you explicitly save files on another partition, but any changes to the OS will be lost if you are using it live (Live: just boot and no install)19:48
havvitalian-cruncher: yeah19:48

italian-cruncherSiidis, I'd manual backup all your data that sits on /home and just write a text file with a list of packages to be reinstalled if things go bad. Using such checklist a reinstall is a breeze. Nothing better comes to mind with such limited storage room19:55

italian-cruncherSiidis, no compression can make 30G fit into 16 :) unless you store text files all made up with zeros19:59

blastermasterhi everybody20:27
trismMoPac: I believe .save are created when you disable a source, and .distUpgrade are likely from upgrading between distributions, since ppas are automatically disabled (because they will likely cause issues with the upgrade)20:27

italian-cruncherJohnVonNeumann, the paste wasn't fstab, can you post fstab?21:24
skinuxWhat exactly does this error mean? :  error while loading shared libraries: libdbus-glib-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory21:26
Krustyklimberhi... I was wondering if somebody can help me do a restore, I'm running 12.0421:26
skinuxMaybe it is trying to tell me dbus-glib is somehow corrupt??21:26
mobilemeyhemIf xchat doesn't seem to be running a gui but is running in the background. Does that mean I have problems?21:26
JohnVonNeumannitalian-cruncher: here it is , http://dpaste.com/1398387/21:27
italian-crunchermobilemeyhem, check tray21:27
mobilemeyhemWhy would xchat have 5 processes running the sh command?21:27

ViprozIt is the first launch21:43

KrustyklimberDavid-A now it's just stuck with a purple screen... didn't boot at all21:50

Guest3831Hello. I'm on an Ubuntu live cd and I'm trying to recover my data from a dying harddrive. I got a new one so I'm cloning it over with "(g)ddrescue -f -r 1 -v /dev/sda /dev/sdb clone.log". Thankfully it's going quite well and is nearly done with only 2 errors. What should I do after it finishes? I think it's possible to continue trying to recover the errors but from googling I'm having trouble working out the correct fl22:12
Guest3831ags. Should I just do the same thing again with -r -1 or are other flags needed. Sorry for the long post. Thank you.22:12
ViaNocturna85if you done that you use command: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install bumblebee primus (then restart)22:13

David-AGuest3831: if you have run it with retries you don't need to do it again, unless the recovery percentage is too low or a specific photo that you really want is still corrupted in the recovered copy22:17
