[00:07] david_: use lamp instead [00:07] xamp is lamp [00:07] david_: no it's not [00:07] david_: it's a selfcontained version that can cause a lot of problems [00:07] david_: hence why I said use lamp [00:07] why is that? [00:08] david_: why is what ? [00:08] I still get the unmount cd drive error ikonia [00:09] why would xamp cause problems [00:09] ? === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM [00:09] anybody can point me on how to automate servers' ssh remote access without using keys? [00:09] because 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 system [00:10] I can go on..... [00:11] f00bar80: you want to be able to log in automatically without using a key? [00:11] 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] !lamp | david_ [00:11] david_: 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. [00:13] wow theres a lot of information in that link, do i really need to go through all of that ? [00:18] david_: "website to install LAMP" what do you mean exactly? [00:19] david_: yes, if you want to understand it properly, you need to do that [00:19] david_: you only need to install the components you need [00:20] For Wine [00:20] david_: if you actually read the first section, you'll see the short cuts [00:20] Will Ubuntu 10.04 support it? [00:20] Not sure if its still supported [00:20] david_: first fiew lines gives you the 1 command you need [00:23] hello, I'm adding a script to the end of my preseed, like "d-i preseed/run string celeste-network-config.sh" - where would I put this file?

[00:40] Gnome 3 [00:40] ah ok, but I don't like Gnome 3 :-P [00:41] I use lubuntu [00:42] I like Gnome Classic very much [00:46] hi ho hello [00:47] how do i delete a package and its dependencies [00:47] remove even [00:49] anyone [00:49] linuxuz3r: `sudo apt-get remove `? [00:50] linuxuz3r: sudo apt-get purge 'package' generally works, and additionally a autoclean and autoremove can do this, depends really onwhat its attached to.

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.html [01:08] linuxuz3r, Actually, read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE [01:09] Deepfriedice, ok [01:09] yoojin: what kernel are you running? [01:10] nevyn: How can I determine that, easily? [01:11] nevyn: I believe 3.11.0-8-generic... But need verification. [01:12] nevyn: Okay, nevermind, that is correct - 3.11.0-8-generic [01:13] can someone assist me in installing ubuntu on my new build [01:13] nevyn: I've thought of going into the bios and changing modes to the older AC'97 as a fallback plan... [01:14] Heeeeelp, Are you trying to dual boot or running into problems? [01:15] just problems [01:16] This is my precise problem. How can this solution be implemented? http://www.spinics.net/lists/stable-commits/msg19502.html [01:16] Heeeeelp, Specifically? [01:16] yoojin: you can compile your own kernel with the patches applied, or file a bug report on Launchpad [01:17] phunyguy: 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. [01:18] unfortunately I think your best course of action would be to let Ubuntu handle it. The turnaround time shouldn't be too bad. [01:18] compiling your own kernel isn't for the faint of heart. [01:18] Well, I would love the opportunity to learn. [01:18] Do you think there is a guide which may help? [01:19] !kernel | yoojin [01:19] yoojin: 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) [01:21] yoojin: see the special sections labeled: "Reasons for NOT compiling a custom kernel" and "Reasons for compiling a custom kernel" [01:22] and make your choice. :) [01:22] why whats the reason === lafiro is now known as Beothoric [01:22] linuxuz3r: he has a special case that was fixed with a patch for 3.5 [01:22] yoojin: you could just set a model parameter by hand on the audio driver [01:23] if that patch isn't in Ubuntu...... [01:23] that too. [01:23] 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 link contains C code. a modified portion of the source files to the linux kernel? [01:23] yoojin: indeed. [01:23] so 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. [01:24] that page also says it has been added to the stable tree [01:25] So 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] however I am not sure what "Stable tree" refers to in this context [01:26] The stable tree of the Linux kernel, I 'think'. [01:27] phunyguy: umm that it's been merged by linus (hopefully via takashi) [01:27] hopefully. [01:27] bbiab. [01:27] hope I helped. [01:28] Well, 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] yoojin: you could just set a model parameter by hand on the audio driver [01:29] nevyn: I'll run with that and come back and thank you if you're still on. [01:29] so in /etc/modules.d/audio.conf put the line options snd-hda-intel model="insertcorrectmodelhere" [01:29] then reboot [01:31] WOW, you mean Like with a text editor? I'm on it. Thank you so much, much hope now. [01:31] I wish the reasoning behind where to find these files was self-evident. I feel like an idiot at times. [01:31] 11:30 < 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 link [01:31] contains C code. a modified portion of the source files to the linux kernel? [01:32] 11:31 < phunyguy> yoojin: indeed. [01:32] oops [01:32] nevyn: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:32] the correct model btw... [01:32] is no-primary-hp [01:33] there is no /etc/modules.d/audio.conf [01:33] Is is possible my sound card is configured without modules? [01:33] I'll work around getting it to a module if you think it's right. [01:33] /etc/modprobe.d mybad [01:34] #wine [01:34] well i installed kde [01:34] now im stuck at booting ubuntu [01:34] yoojin: lsmod would tell you if the module is loaded... as a module :) [01:34] im stuck at line firewire_ohci [01:34] isn't there a wine channel? [01:34] okay, nevyn! [01:35] deezed: /msg alis list *wine* [01:35] deezed: #winehq [01:35] ;msg alis list wine [01:35] Thank you reisio, it is, I am lacking as nevyn has told me the correct parameters, but the card shows up. [01:35] ok [01:35] ty [01:35] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [01:35] nevyn: alsa-base.conf, for the insertion of the previously mentioned line? [01:36] yoojin: so the patch automates this by checking the pci id [01:36] like, lspci does? [01:37] im stuck with booting ubuntu after installing kde im stuck at loading initrd.img [01:38] yoojin: so.. you just need to set the option model=no-primary-hp and it should work [01:38] hi, there, what's palm detection in touchpad settings? [01:38] hualet_deepin: what it says on the box [01:38] can someone help [01:39] nevyn, what box? === line is now known as what`s_my_line [01:39] anyway 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? [01:40] yes, I have done that. [01:40] hualet_deepin: if it can detect your palm, then it can distinguish it from a finger or stylus, and potentially ignore it [01:40] modprobe reload it or restart my computer? [01:40] hualet_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] also frequently useful just for typing with a touchpad under "hand" [01:41] im stuck with booting ubuntu after installing kde im stuck at loading initrd.img [01:41] can someone help [01:41] how would kde mess up your init [01:42] hualet_deepin: it's automatic detection of when the palm of your hand touches the touchpad and ignoring it. [01:42] it has a sensitivity parameter... [01:42] well i dont know [01:43] nevyn, reisio, thanks a lot, i think it's clear for me now.. [01:45] yoojin: you need to unload and reload the snd-hda-intel module [01:45] nevyn: after reboot, no discernible change. [01:45] I'll try reloading it, double checking my bios settings, and if you're around i'll be back. [01:45] can you pastebin the contents of alsa-base? [01:46] yoojin@Chrononaut:~$ sudo modprobe --remove snd-hda-intel [01:46] FATAL: Module snd_hda_intel is in use. [01:47] yeah you'll need to stop pa.. most likely [01:47] dunno whachya mean. restarting anyways, as that's just as good. [01:47] echo "autospawn = false" > ~/.pulse/client.conf && pactl exit [01:47] then it should unload [01:51] iceleaf, hi buddy. [01:52] iceleaf, hi buddy. [01:54] nevyn: still no luck. [01:54] what [01:55] I wonder if there is a way to confirm parameter settings have been passed from the .conf file to the module at boot or not. [01:55] some verbose module command that'll tell me if it's operating in the mode I tried to select. [01:55] in terminal [01:55] can I take a hard drive that has Ubuntu installed on it and put it on another computer with similar hardware? [01:56] temporarily [01:56] MrKB: yes [01:56] MrKB: what graphic card [01:57] current comp is integrated [01:57] comp it's going to has an NVIDIA GeForce 4 or something like that [01:57] nvidia, ati, or intel [01:57] (both are old P4s, yes) [01:57] ok [01:57] both nvidia 7 series or before? [01:57] one is integrated, so Intel [01:57] the one I'm putting it on a NVIDIA one [01:57] my ubuntu wont boot [01:58] how do i fix this [01:58] then it will work, other way it wouldnt [01:58] bec intel loads auto, and it will load nouveau on other [01:58] yoojin: can you paste the line you added in here? [01:59] nevyn: it is passing as far as I can tell. Uno momento. [02:00] File: /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf [02:00] options snd-hda-intel model="no-primary-hp" [02:01] oh.. no quotes I don't think [02:01] It is a Vaio Z - nice laptop, always a headache with compatibility though. http://us.generation-nt.com/patch-1-3-alsa-hda-workaround-silent-output-sony-vaio-vgc-ln51jgb-alc889-help-210404062.html This website shows the pci and everything. [02:02] quotes were ignored (( Parameter: model --> no-primary-hp,(null),(null),(n ))) [02:03] I used this nifty bash script to obtain output to determine whether it had taken effect. http://serverfault.com/questions/62316/how-do-i-list-loaded-linux-module-parameter-values [02:04] yoojin: and it is card 0? [02:04] in /proc/asound/cards ? [02:05] yes followed by an nvidia card for hdmi passthough. [02:05] nevyn: yoojin@Chrononaut:~$ cat /proc/asound/cards [02:05] 0 [MID ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel MID [02:05] HDA Intel MID at 0xb9120000 irq 44 [02:06] TIL, I can just use 7z to extract iso files instead of using such an interactive process as mounting the iso and copying the files [02:06] nevyn: don't stress too much, I'll keep on trying to find information for MY problem. I'm already indebted to you quite a bit, SIR. [02:08] Hi there [02:08] Who is takashi?

Try it out though, it's fun what you can do! [02:38] MangaKaDenza, 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. [02:39] MangaKaDenza, If theres anything you're having trouble with try the [[ $anycommand -help $anycommand --help, or $man anycommand ]] [02:39] oh no... [02:40] its not that the terminal is hard [02:40] its that i'm not supposed to have linux on this comp [02:40] so I need to hide it [02:41] MangaKaDenza, 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. [02:42] MangaKaDenza, 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. [02:50] yoojin: so that doesn't match [02:50] 12:40 < Dr_feelgud> MangaKaDenza: Try one the ubuntu themes that look similar to windows [02:50] 12:41 < MrKB> I swapped out CPUs and now the clock speed is wrong [02:50] 12:41 < MrKB> on the other computer it was reporting 2.8GHz and on this one it's saying 1.60GHz [02:50] 12:41 < MrKB> could this be a multiplier issue?

[03:31] fahadash: /etc/*release* [03:31] thanks [03:31] ls: /etc/*release*: No such file or directory [03:33] hey anyone knows where can I find help for icedtea java webstart [03:33] fahadash: what'd you run? [03:33] ls /etc/*release* [03:33] nevyn, GOT IT. [03:33] Its apparent from the output :) [03:35] Hey guys [03:35] I have a logitech G700 gaming mouse [03:35] But ubuntu does not even recognize the extra buttons [03:35] running xinput [03:36] returns two id's for the mouse. One with 7 buttons, and one with 24. [03:36] The mouse does not have that many. [03:36] nevyn, http://pastebin.com/RNrQMju1 this is the output [03:36] if you cound scrolling, it has 15 [03:36] With Easystrokes I was able to bind to the extra buttons on my G400 [03:36] fahadash: less /etc/os-release [03:37] xinput lists 2 inputs with 11 and 14 buttons [03:37] EvilBlob, I have easystroke, but it doesn't recognize the other buttons. [03:37] Hmm [03:37] If i run xev, i get no output when clicking the extra buttons. [03:38] I did ls -R *release* from the / and nothing found [03:38] I do. That's odd [03:38] nevyn, brb. (5min) [03:38] Its a NAS Media server, May be I should ask it on generic linux channel [03:38] Did you have the buttons mapped in logitech Gaming Software on a windows computer? [03:39] Yea, that may have something to do with it [03:39] Do you have a Windows install? [03:39] What did you map them too? [03:39] Nah, just ubuntu [03:39] I have access to windows though. [03:40] I have one set to ctrl+w and one set to a back button [03:40] The back button works without Easystrokes, but ctrl+w does not [03:40] hmm [03:41] Does your mouse have DPI increase/decrease buttons? Do those work? [03:41] I guess I could set the buttons to increase and decrease dpi [03:41] But I've unassigned all buttons. [03:42] in hopes of assigning them in linux instead [03:42] I have created an icon in the launcher, but I can only start one copy of the program :-( how can I setup so I can start the program multiple times? [03:43] nrdb2, can you right-click the icon and hit 'New window', or something to that effect? [03:43] hello there. I have a big issue :'( I recently removed ubuntu-desktop and installed xubuntu-desktop. it removed cryptsetup by this and now I can't boot up anymore. it can't boot or find the root device it says with a timeout :( [03:43] how to fix this_ [03:44] EvilBlob, no ... its a custom python script [03:44] I can boot from usb stick to ubuntu live mode and use the passphrase to open the harddrive. but it can't get opened while booting natively anymore since i accidentally removed cryptsetup ;( [03:47] please help I have installed ubuntu 12.04, and after apt-get update I get too many hash sum mismatch error. Please help to resolve this thx [03:48] EvilBlob, found out what looks like a good hint.... it looks like I need a more complex .desktop file plus modifications to the script. === dmitrykorotkov_ is now known as dmitrykorotkov [03:52] rostam, run the update in the terminal and pastebin all of it === drmeiste_ is now known as drmeister_ [03:59] wilee-nilee, paste.ubuntu.com/6161406 [04:00] EvilBlob, I found out how :-) are you interested?

[04:18] wilee-nilee, thank you I will look into the info you provided. Thanks [04:19] rostam, I suspect the answers are there the askubuntu link has some info. [04:31] in debmirror should i give the option --no-cleanup option ? [04:32] --nocleanup* [04:32] i don't know why downloading gets disconnected after some interval.

I know how to add a ppa, but which one should I add exactly? [04:46] good evening [04:47] Fervicus_, This channel works on you stating your problem, that is where it should start. [04:48] can someone help me figure out chroot' [04:48] Well in this case my problem was knowing which ppa to add from that list and how to do it. [04:48] My original problem was finding a way to grab the latest vim [04:48] i think there should be a ppa for the latest vim. [04:49] whoops ... can someone help me figure out chroot'd sftp? I am able to login with my new user but not able to upload files nor view mount -bind directories. [04:49] Or to install all pacakges needed to compile vim you can use the 'sudo apt-get build-deps vim' command (if vim is the package name) [04:49] dubone, does the new user have admin access? [04:50] wilee-nilee>no, they are a standard user and in a group named sftpusers [04:50] wilee-nilee>I am in the admin group and can access the entire directory structure [04:50] dubone, I'm not familiar with that however a chroot needs a root access. [04:51] dr_willis: do you know which ppa I should use? I want the latest gvim [04:51] dr_willis, after random time [04:51] wilee-nilee>the users home dir is owned by root and then I created /home/user/home/user to give the appearance of a standard ~ structure [04:52] dubone, beyond me really helping sorry. [04:52] wilee-nilee>thank you ;) [04:54] Has anyone here done SFTP with OpenSSH? I guess I could try with VSFTPD like the ubuntu docs recommend. I figured if OpenSSH had it built in there was no reason to add another layer of "muck" to get the job done. [04:55] lets say I run uname -r && lspci | grep VGA in terminal... how do I get it to print the output on one line instead of 2 separate output lines? [04:56] dubone: I installed SSH on my Raspberry Pi running debian. SFTP with Filezilla worked right out of the box.... [04:56] Once you have SSH, I think SFTP pretty much just works as it just uses your SSH key. Someone more technical may be able to describe more. [04:57] I found if I could ssh into a box, I could SFTP. [04:57] chaz68>SFTP works great with the basic install. I need to chroot a guest user. With the basic config the user can move around the file system at will. [04:58] Ari-Yang: | tr '\n' ' ' === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away [04:59] reisio, huh? how would the command look like? [04:59] I got a wd passport external hard drive 1T and I'm not sure how to boot ubuntu from the external hard drive on my windows 8. [04:59] reisio, like that?: uname -r && lspci | tr '\n' ' ' grep VGA [04:59] Ari-Yang: uname -a && lspci | grep VGA | tr '\n' ' ' [05:01] reisio, still separate lines [05:02] Ejemy: you just tell the bios to boot the external deviuce, same as if it was a flash drive [05:02] Ari-Yang: it's wrapping in your terminal [05:03] moin [05:03] wilee-nilee: i ran boot-repair ,here is the report http://paste.ubuntu.com/6151697/ [05:04] I'm on an ASUS and on my lenovo it was pretty straightforward but now with windows 8 I can't find how to change my bios priorities. There's something with a legacy boot and everything [05:05] dubone: If it's beyond administrative access and you're giving access to standard users / guests, I may suggest a more robust setup using FTP with Explicit Security. Lots of guides on the net for that. === Pqqq1 is now known as devongarber1 [05:05] chaz68: thank you [05:06] Ejemy: probably UEFI [05:06] I have a setup at work (Windows shop) that uses CrushFTP. They have built-in implicit, explicit, and SFTP capabilities. Pretty slick if you're lazy and if you don't want to edit a whole bunch of config files and install big load of keys and stuff. [05:07] Yeah, 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] Ejemy: my asus after i change the priority requires me to hold esc at bios to choose the device i want regardless of order [05:07] CrushFTP works with linux, mac, windows and is pretty cheap. But it does require Java. [05:07] PrideAndSorrow, neither mint nor arch or a pirated windows are supported here. [05:08] Ejemy: tap esc rather [05:08] Is there a way to pause updating? :P [05:08] ImQ009: why [05:08] Because I'm gonna have to go and shut down the lappy [05:09] ImQ009: shut down or suspend? [05:09] Ejemy: before it boots i mean [05:09] ImQ009: you don't wanna do that [05:09] xangua, I have to :P That is the whole point [05:09] I can try that. This will be the 12th time I'm restarting my laptop..... haha [05:09] I'm gonna need to take the laptop with me, because I'm gonna need it [05:09] ImQ009: why not just close the lid [05:10] Because I don't know how long it's gonna take and how much of the battery it will drain [05:10] seem like things you'd want to know when owning a laptop :p [05:11] you can probably suspend the process [05:11] The update process is already taking 40 minutes [05:11] And it's about 60% done [05:11] just hibernating the device (suspend to disk) would probably be fine, though, but don't quote me on that [05:11] Ejemy: I hear ya, asus has some hidden options. I bought mine used and apparently i can recover by tapping f9 but that's not on the splash screen anywhere [05:12] How do you susped to disk though? [05:12] win vista [05:12] you would have to have known the answer to that question ahead of time :) [05:12] if you have ever suspended your laptop / put it to sleep [05:12] and the disks stopped spinning [05:12] that probably is enough [05:12] cerco win vista [05:13] irssi-mike: well I'm trying to install ubuntu on my harddrive currently through wubi (I think) and I'll see how that turns out. [05:13] reisio, I run Ubuntu from an USB, I have no HDD :D [05:13] ImQ009: you got your install media? [05:13] It's pretty freaking slow [05:13] install media? You mean the thing I installed the OS from? [05:14] yes [05:14] Yes, I have it [05:14] then even if turning off the box breaks something, you can fix it [05:14] Shit. I pressed something and HexChat made a new window [05:14] I hate that because I don't know what I pressed [05:14] Ejemy: wubi shouldnt require you to change boot priority i don't think [05:14] ImQ009: ctrl+i [05:15] Oh, thanks [05:15] everyone hates that [05:16] I don't know how suspend to disk is gonna work though :D It's quite a slow pendrive [05:16] * reisio shrugs [05:18] Ejemy, There is excellent help on the ubuntu forums with uefi ans ubuntu install, I would do a internal install, a wubi on a external is well not the best idea.

[07:07] Calinou: i did... it said nothing [07:08] Calinou, 0 is not necessarily the correct value for all cards as far as I know [07:08] no, not off [07:08] but it's just quite lowered [07:08] (usually to a decent value :P) [07:08] it didnt change anything [07:09] ahh yeah iirc imacs don't have an off brightness settings, only macbooks [07:09] :/ [07:09] its on 100%... even it shows up that its increasing or decreasing brightness but i see on my screen very bright like at 100% like before [07:09] oh seriously? it sucks man [07:09] poor my eyes... lol [07:10] they do have brightness settings [07:10] you just can't have it off [07:10] greenut1, what does this tell you - "cat /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/max_brightness" [07:10] as in no power going to leds [07:10] ok but how to decrease brightness at least? [07:10] ok hd on varunendra [07:10] what dos sudo apt-get update first do? [07:11] i did.... [07:11] it updates repository lists [07:11] says nothing. [07:11] it should say something... just a number [07:11] aeon-ltd: on any screen, you can't [07:11] varunendra: nothing. [07:11] but 0 should be pretty low [07:11] greenut1, and this - "ls /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/" ? [07:12] !who [07:12] 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 :) [07:12] actual_brightness brightness max_brightness subsystem uevent [07:12] bl_power device power type [07:12] varunendra: it said that [07:13] greenut1, then probably you (or I) did some mistake in the previous command [07:13] oh? ok, what previous command do you refer? [07:13] y [07:14] greenut1, once more please - "ls /sys/class/backlight" [07:14] ok [07:14] greenut1, is there only one object in the output? [07:14] acpi_video0 ? [07:14] acpi_video0 [07:14] said that [07:14] yes [07:16] greenut1, the max_brightness file not having any value and no other videos indicate a possible acpi issue. Hold on, or try the other suggestion that was offered previously [07:16] when i execute this "cat /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/max_brightness" it says nothing. [07:16] hmmm [07:17] ok [07:17] greenut1, try another one - "cat /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/actual_brightness" - does it return anything? [07:18] ok hd on [07:19] it said 1 [07:20] sorry and when i run this: cat /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/max_brightness it said 15 [07:20] ok [07:20] but on my screen it stick on 100% [07:20] very bright like before [07:20] it doesnt change anything [07:23] when i use mocque method sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=60 it says " setpci: Warning: No devices selected for "F4.B=60". [07:23] " [07:23] greenut1, try Calinou's suggestion, with a slightly different value - "echo 8 | sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness" - any change ? [07:23] k [07:24] it said 8 [07:24] all the PCs I had used brightness values 0-10 [07:24] 10 being default [07:24] so I'm used to using 0 [07:24] hmm will try 0 then [07:24] same thing [07:24] nothing happenned [07:25] greenut1, your is not within 0-10 range, as you saw - max_brightness is 15, not 10 [07:25] so, my system disk got filled, removed some files, and modified iptables rules (just changed a port, its a working config) but sudo /etc/init.d/iptables-persistent reload doesnt work "[fail]", tried rebooting the system, [07:26] will throw this iMac lol [07:26] but same problem. any ideas? it seems that iptables isnt doing any work at all, every port seems to be open [07:26] maybe i shuld change monitor drivers? [07:26] i am creating an customized ubuntu live cd, following the guide creating ubuntu live cd from scratch. [07:27] greenut1: lspci | grep VGA [07:27] tells your graphics card [07:27] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Whistler [Radeon HD 6600M/6700M/7600M Series] [07:27] that what said there [07:27] i want to customize ubuntu server, can i create the customized server using that guide ? === RDash[AW] is now known as RDash [07:29] i forgot where can look up at my graphics drivers [07:29] and it has options to select graphics [07:30] Hello [07:30] greenut1, what does this say - grep "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=" /etc/default/grub [07:30] I was wondering [07:30] How can I protect given folder with password under ubuntu 12 [07:31] ok brb [07:31] it says GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" [07:31] bombev: truecrypt? [07:31] varunendra: it says GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" [07:32] greenut1, are you on default Ubuntu? What version? [07:32] latest i think its 13.... [07:32] aeon-ltd how truecrypt works [07:32] let me check brb [07:32] latest is 13.04 [07:32] 13.10 will be released in end of october [07:32] greenut1: lsb_release [07:32] right that one 13.04 [07:32] oh ok [07:33] err, that doesn't work for me [07:33] it doesntw ork: lsb_release [07:33] greenut1, please install a utility first, we'll need it - "sudo apt-get install gksu" [07:33] No LSB modules are available. [07:33] ok [07:33] Calinou, the correct command is lsb_release -a [07:34] it already had [07:34] or just "lsb_release -d" [07:34] greenut1, gksu? [07:34] yep [07:34] i had gksu [07:34] varunendra: thanks :) [07:35] btw i checked its 13.04 [07:35] what is the difference between ubuntu server 12.04 and desktop edition ? [07:35] server does not have GUI [07:35] greenut1, then let's do some experiments with boot parameters. Open your grub file - "gksu gedit /etc/default/grub" [07:36] doing gksu it said Reading state information... Done [07:36] gksu is already the newest version.

[07:36] ops [07:36] ok [07:36] greenut1, open the file with gksu ^^ [07:36] Hi all, any good ubuntu software for downloading youtube? [07:37] it opened gedit [07:37] greenut1, with a file with some text in it? [07:37] hi there [07:37] Dr_Feelgud, there are several firefox add-ons that will do that [07:37] yep [07:37] i can post pastebin for u [07:37] greenut1, find the line that says - "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=" " [07:38] Dr_Feelgud, youtube-dl [07:38] ok [07:38] yes i found, varunendra. [07:38] greenut1, change it to - GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_backlight=vendor" [07:38] have a bit of a quandry here... i am deploying two virtual machines that will be accessed by fairly old HP thin clients in my house. The thin clients ONLY support RDP as a connection protocol... the VMs are running ubuntu 12.04 LTS and i installed xrdp which works fine except that xrdp doesn't support sound output [07:38] ok [07:39] cfhowlett, smw94: thanks, i have that already, i need something like miro [07:39] what other options are there for making a linux box act as a RDP server? [07:39] greenut1, don't forget the double quotes around "acpi_backlight=vendor" [07:39] fyi there is two lines: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" [07:39] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" [07:39] im changing that as u said hd on.... [07:39] but miro is not good with flash [07:39] greenut1, only the one that is blank at present - GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" [07:40] ok [07:40] changed. should i save it? [07:40] greenut1, please show us the current line so we can be sure it is correct [07:40] bombev: it lets you create a file which is an encrpyted container for storing files [07:40] ok [07:40] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_backlight=vendor" [07:41] copied it from there [07:41] :) [07:41] greenut1, ok, save and close it [07:41] what is the difference between ubuntu server 12.04 and desktop edition ? [07:41] saved, closed it. brb [07:41] greenut1, now do - "sudo update-grub" [07:41] Dr_Feelgud, i think youtube-dl is good enough for me [07:41] ok [07:41] pandaroot-gama, desktop is for normal, everyday users. server is for backend server deployment [07:42] !ubuntu-server|pandaroot-gama, [07:42] pandaroot-gama,: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/ - Support in #ubuntu-server [07:42] varunendra: it said /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig: 12: /etc/default/grub: ok,: not found [07:42] after " sudo update-grub" [07:43] smw94: does youtube-dl has a good features? like rss channels? [07:43] fyi remember i have OS X and this Ubuntu dual boot. [07:43] and reefind instaled as bootloader [07:43] cfhowlett, i want to create customized ubuntu server disk, i am using this guide->https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch [07:43] pandaroot-gama, can't help with --- no experience to draw from. [07:44] but how can i create ubuntu server disk as there is nothing mention that following will help in creating desktop or server disk ? [07:44] greenut1, is it directly booting Ubuntu or have you installed grub on Ubuntu's partition? [07:44] pandaroot-gama, do you actually need a server? [07:44] hi...does Ubuntu 12.04.3 supports dula booting using wubi...? [07:44] cfhowlett, i have a server but i need to customized it from scratch. [07:45] !mini|pandaroot-gama, [07:45] Dr_Feelgud, no it doesnt, i dont use rss much [07:45] pandaroot-gama,: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [07:45] hmmm i installed first reefind, then i did install ubuntu along side with OS X [07:45] pandaroot-gama, mini might be worth a look then [07:45] then when i restarted it did boot on reefind... with both OS [07:45] OS X and Ubuntu [07:45] cfhowlett, that can be helpful. [07:45] smw94: thanks [07:45] greenut1, do you get grub menu at any stage? If not you'll need to find a way to add the above "acpi_backlight=vendor" line in the kernel boot line. [07:46] cfhowlett, for desktop the name of the installer is ubiquity what's the name of the installer for server installations ? [07:46] oh yes it shows up grub menu [07:46] i just know that it's debian based. [07:46] then i click Ubuntu... to boot after reefind [07:46] Hi guys. When Ubuntu 13.10 Beta1 is released ?! [07:46] Does Ubuntu12.4.3 has Wubi dual-boot option [07:46] !ubuntu_server|pandaroot-gama, as you're doing server things ... best to ask in the #ubuntu-server channel [07:47] hmmmm i see [07:47] !when|me-1, [07:47] may be d-i. [07:47] !isitiout|me-1, [07:47] varunendra, i see what u mean. [07:47] cfhowlett, ok [07:47] me-1, next month [07:47] cfhowlett, Please explain [07:47] me-1, you can download wubi separately ... if you must. bear in mind that wubi is for TESTING not for long-term installation [07:48] me-1, why use wubi instead of live booting ? [07:48] me-1, when is 13.10 out? In 2013 (13) Octobe (10) [07:48] vanunendra: looks like i messed up it, right? [07:48] should i have used refit instead? [07:49] greenut1, it should be fine. What does this show - "cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | grep acpi_backlight" [07:49] cfhowlett, thanks for the help [07:49] pandaroot-gama, best of luck [07:49] vanunendra: it said nothing there. [07:49] cfhowlett, thank you sir :) [07:50] cfhowlett, A friend of mine is very innterested in Ubuntu and asking to install it on his windows 7 laptop but I am not sure he would like it so I want to dual-boot so he can remove if he does not like [07:50] greenut1, and "cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg" - does it return anything? Or is the entire file is missing? [07:50] me-1, better option: install virtualbox in windows. put ubuntu inside a virtualbox. [07:51] brb [07:51] !stfu [07:51] Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [07:51] I have 2 options Virtualbox or wubi . but virtualbox will give false impression of being ubuntu slow [07:51] oh yes it said many things fulfillling that screen [07:52] me-1: wubi is not much better with it's fake filesystem [07:52] varunendra: yes, said many things on the screen. [07:52] me-1, and wubi is way more trouble than it's worth ... but if he's got at least 4 gigs of ram, he shouldn't notice it. that said, try lubuntu or xubuntu in virtualbox. both are lightweight alternatives to ubuntu [07:52] How can i access my PC from remote Via VNC , Im Using Ubuntu 13.04 [07:53] !samba|babinlonston, [07:53] babinlonston,: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [07:53] babinlonston: with a vnc client? [07:54] I want to access my PC Graphically from remote [07:54] cfhowlett, He has got 2GB of ram , I will grant 1 GB to Ubuntu in virtual box and if he likes it I will do a clean install of ubuntu [07:54] greenut1, did you copy-paste this - "cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | grep acpi_backlight" - without the last quote mark ? [07:54] me-1, 2 gigs is low. I'd suggest l/x/ubuntu instead [07:55] varunendra: yes i did. it showed many lines... a long line. [07:55] My Home is Far From were im working , Now MY PC is On there in home but how can i connect to my PC ? [07:55] cfhowlett, well they are not as good-looking === PriceChild is now known as Pricey [07:55] oh with that last you asked it didnt show nothing. [07:56] me-1: it can be [07:56] varunendra: oh with that last you asked it didnt show nothing. [07:56] greenut1, what does this say - cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | grep quiet [07:56] babinlonston: if it is running a vnc server, then get a client and log in [07:56] aeon-ltd: but my IP is not an Static IP :) [07:57] it said: linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.8.0-30-generic root=UUID=b59bd4b4-5a17-41cd-9120-79a740392a1c ro quiet splash $vt_handoff [07:57] linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.8.0-30-generic root=UUID=b59bd4b4-5a17-41cd-9120-79a740392a1c ro quiet splash $vt_handoff [07:57] linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.8.0-19-generic root=UUID=b59bd4b4-5a17-41cd-9120-79a740392a1c ro quiet splash $vt_handoff [07:57] thats why I was saying wubi was good to have a look [07:57] babinlonston: then you'll need to find it out everytime you want to connect [07:57] cfhowlett, the only difference between ubuntu 12.04 server and desktop is the kernel right ? the packages are same for both versions ? [07:57] varunendra: said linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.8.0-30-generic root=UUID=b59bd4b4-5a17-41cd-9120-79a740392a1c ro quiet splash $vt_handoff [07:57] linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.8.0-30-generic root=UUID=b59bd4b4-5a17-41cd-9120-79a740392a1c ro quiet splash $vt_handoff [07:57] linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.8.0-19-generic root=UUID=b59bd4b4-5a17-41cd-9120-79a740392a1c ro quiet splash $vt_handoff [07:58] greenut1, got it :) [07:58] oh lol :) [07:58] pandaroot-gama, no no and no. server will install only what you tell it. if you don't specify, say, office apps .. no office apps. [07:59] greenut1, if you get the grub menu, you can try to manually edit the boot line at boot time by pressing "E" --> add the parameter --> Ctrl-X to boot [07:59] i thought the server and desktop use the same kernel these days also. ;) but i rarely mess with server === Utility is now known as Guest39683 [07:59] varunendra: how to get the grub menu? [08:00] there are some patches for battery optimization on desktop [08:00] greenut1, you said you see grub menu at booting time? [08:00] ohhh yes [08:00] varunendra: right on, but to edit it... hmmm will try. [08:01] Is there a special channel for help or is this it? [08:01] this is it [08:01] jacobtapp, this is it. [08:01] varunendra: u mean after reefind bootloader, right? [08:01] then get that grub menu..? [08:02] that shows the following line: Ubuntu, Something else with 3 lines which i dont recall. wow Im getting old!!! lol [08:02] So, I installed 13.04 and 13.10 just fine but heard 12.04 had better nvidia driver support since it was LTS. Only problem is that after it installs in normal GUI it boots to a black screen with the drum sound [08:02] no, it does not, jacobtapp [08:03] 13.04 has newer drivers [08:03] is there a good reason why the Ubuntu installer creates the swap partition as a logical partition? [08:03] what's your graphics card, jacobtapp? [08:03] jacobtapp, and 13.10 is still in beta ... [08:03] I'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] GTX 780m [08:03] greenut1, we can try directly editing the grub.cfg file, but adding that parameter temporarily at boot time would be safer (for testing) [08:03] jacobtapp: don't install the driver normally for optimus [08:03] you have to use bumblebee [08:04] greenut1, 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] Axylus: so it doesn't use up the limit of primaries? [08:04] Well it won't even boot [08:05] Axylus: honestly i have no real idea [08:05] Or X doesnt startup out of the box [08:05] varunendra: 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] cfhowlett, 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] aeon-ltd, hmm… I'm not sure either. I was just curious :) [08:05] it's X.org not Z.org [08:06] varunendra: ok, will do it. [08:06] pandaroot-gama, repos are the same [08:06] varunendra: don't edit grub.cfg [08:06] Calinou: I'm getting old... remember. lol [08:06] cfhowlett, so that means only the kernel is different. [08:06] pandaroot-gama, that's my understanding. [08:06] was trying to type fast because the pace here is crazy. [08:07] cfhowlett, ok, than let me research more into it. [08:07] Any other suggestions? [08:07] abdul [08:07] jacobtapp: reinstall ubuntu, don't install the nvidia driver normally, use bumblebee [08:07] alternatively: go to the BIOS, disable the IGP [08:07] Calinou: it didnt start up without nvidia installed [08:07] (can reduce battery life) [08:07] ah [08:08] Ok, will do it, Varunendra. Will contact you when i back, maybe tomorrow? will you be around? [08:08] well you should try disabling the IGP in the BIOS if possible [08:08] not an option [08:08] bumblebee will be better for your battery life, but performance will be quite lower than directly using the card [08:09] I understand that but I cant even get 12.04 to boot with or without nvidia. 13.04 worked fine out of the box [08:10] then use 13.04 [08:10] But 13.04 doesnt offer as much support for nvidia drivers. I dont even see 319 on apt-get [08:11] varunendra: my wife is mad at me... i need to go. will contact with you tmrw if you're around. [08:12] varunendra, thank you for trying to help me. [08:12] Calinou: thank you too. [08:12] jacobtapp: you can use PPAs [08:12] xorg-edgers [08:13] lssfdsa [08:13] sry friends. [08:13] it's ok [08:14] Calinou: what does that mean? [08:15] Personal Package Archives [08:15] basically, it adds more installable packages, but these are unsupported [08:15] This is why people dont use linux lol [08:15] is there a way to change the button layout for a specifc app in gnome 3? [08:15] Ive been trying to get simple stuff to work for 6 hours now [08:16] cfhowlett, prob solved :D [08:16] pandaroot-gama, yeah? Congrats! [08:16] jacobtapp: they do [08:16] you're doing things wrong, that's all :P [08:16] later guys [08:16] cfhowlett, thanks :) [08:16] Im following guides [08:16] it's not hard to install a PPA and install a more updated driver [08:16] however don't install the driver by hand. it breaks everything [08:17] That didnt come up once in my googl searches [08:17] Also, is this because im on 64 bit. I remember that use to be a big pain [08:18] hello [08:18] it isn't anymore :P [08:18] Anyway is there a way to upgrade to 13.04 from 12.04 in command line [08:18] hello [08:18] on a 10.04 LTS, I cannot understand how to restart nfs/nis services correctly on a server [08:19] I'd advise reinstalling :P [08:19] on previous versions with only systemV, it was easy with nfs-common and nis in /etc/init.d/ [08:19] jacobtapp: besides Calinou's advice: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [08:19] hi all.. i have an apt-mirror repo configured with system side packages [08:19] jacobtapp, sudo apt-get dist-release to 12.10 then again to 13.04 clean install is recommended instead [08:19] that works, yeah [08:19] how will i create a new repo branch to put my customized debs in it [08:20] well i dont have access to a computer besides this one with command line or w/e its called [08:20] i know how to do in yum repo .. but i am new to apt mirror stuff [08:21] hello [08:21] any apt-repo experts [08:22] or is there anyother channel/ room to ask apt relatd query [08:23] how many packages alex_dolby [08:24] bazhang: i have tow set of packages.. one is a bunch of customized openstack packages [08:24] and another a bunch of dependencies to them [08:24] alex_dolby, and the total number is... [08:24] so i want to add two branch in my existing apt-mirror server [08:24] 89 = Openstack debs [08:24] anyone had luck getting netflix to recognize pipelight? [08:25] on NFSv3, I've got this kernel: [ 2595.765627] statd: server rpc.statd not responding, ti [08:25] alex_dolby, create several PPA and split them up I suppose [08:25] does anyone has any hint for me, please ? [08:26] and 177 = dependency packages [08:26] survietamine, what version of ubuntu, what are you trying to do exactly give us the very complete details [08:27] when i try to connect to netflix with pipelight i get a drm error""N8156-6003", any ideas? [08:27] no idea [08:27] InFlames: might want to see if pipelight has a homepage/forums/irc channe;l [08:27] google maybe [08:27] well dist-ugpgrade didnt work [08:28] it's pretty new, not sure it has anything yet [08:28] sudo [08:28] anyone have a good idea for how to download and burn the 13.04 .iso to a usb thumb drive via terminal [08:28] no [08:28] bazhang: it's 10.04 LTS [08:28] read wiki [08:29] !behelpful | penos [08:29] penos: As our !guidelines say, "When helping, be helpful". If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. [08:29] jacobtapp: iirc there is a method using dd to do this [08:29] jacobtapp: download the iso, then use dd to stick it onto a USB drive [08:30] jacobtapp: this works far better than all that unetbootin nonsense [08:30] bazhang: this server provides nis/nfs service since years, but recently statd/lockd stopped responding, even after server reboot :/ [08:31] hey, trying to install ubuntu server 10.04 from flash diskand I run into a bit of trouble [08:31] PLMg: you really should be installing 12.04, 10.04 is ancient [08:31] PLMg, what kind of trouble [08:32] I got this message Your installation CD-couldn't be mounted, so I am trying to follow this link http://www.mattkowalczyk.com/blog/?p=169 [08:32] jacobtapp, for downloading, torrents are recommended : http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads [08:32] bazhang: when I do `restart portmap` the pid is the same :/ [08:32] but I have issues with this step: mount -t iso9660 -o loop /media/usb/ubuntu-12.04-server-amd64.iso [08:32] PLMg: I'm not surprised [08:32] PLMg: none of that makes sense [08:32] ok... [08:33] it makes some sense, but installing 10.04 doesn't make sense [08:33] PLMg: have you got a second USB stick, with the iso on it *as a file*? [08:33] Ben64: that's just one of the things that makes no sense [08:33] u need mount point [08:33] PLMg: why aren't you installing 12.04? [08:33] I have only one usb stick atached [08:33] mounted /dev/sdb1 [08:34] sadly I need it for bigbluebutton that works only with 10.04 [08:34] sudo apt-get install --reinstall mod-security [08:34] shouldn't that force reinstall mod-security ? [08:35] it's not remaking the /etc/modsecurity folder with files in it :/ [08:35] PLMg, it claims that bigbluebutton has simply not been tested on later, it's possible it's stable... [08:35] I did try it, failed a lot [08:35] why are you mounting the iso image anyway? [08:35] PLMg: what's bigbluebutton? [08:36] Your 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 again [08:36] gordonjcp, voip server looks like [08:36] PLMg: and, are you okay with it only working until next month? [08:36] if u refer to security issues its fine [08:37] bbb is a voice conference server [08:38] so you are saying that following the guide in the page I linked earlier is a bad idea? [08:38] best idea may be to run it in a virtualbox vm on a supported release. [08:39] sadly that is not possible [08:39] need x64 arhitecture [08:39] virtualbox does x64... [08:39] PLMg: you can run 64 bit VMs [08:39] hmm, now I fee lsilly [08:39] but anyway, this pc is a bit limited, so I would like to install ubuntu on a real machine [08:40] well at least that might make your life easier [08:41] if I do ls /dev/sd* I get 5 drives [08:41] in the pc there is only one hdd with 2 partitions [08:41] I do not need the data from the hdd [08:41] !blkid [08:41] 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) [08:42] 'sudo blkid' may give better info PLMg [08:42] ok, now I know I need sdb1 [08:43] but doing mount -t iso9660 -o loop /media/usb/ubuntu-12.04-server-amd64.iso should not work for me [08:43] like stated it the guide [08:43] *in [08:43] PLMg: whats the exact command you are using? [08:44] if its the above.. you did a typo [08:44] trying to do this http://www.mattkowalczyk.com/blog/?p=169 [08:44] u need mount point [08:44] you got no space. after the /media/usb /path/to/the/iso [08:44] in ur command === jamestunnicliff_ is now known as jamestunnicliffe [08:44] !iso [08:44] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [08:45] i still dont know why you are mounting the iso file [08:45] it said so in the guide :) [08:45] PLMg: the instructions on that page make no sense [08:45] PLMg: just create a USB stick and install off that [08:46] I am using a usb stick :( [08:46] the pendrivelinux web site has dozens of guides and tools to make a bootable usb flash drive [08:46] PLMg: then you haven't created it correctly [08:46] PLMg: download the iso, dd it onto the stick and boot [08:46] it can't be any simpler [08:46] I used the one from ubuntu, using lili to make a bootable flash drive [08:46] if hes uising 10.x can he use dd? [08:47] and since it booted, it works :) [08:48] sry, brb, bio === cristian_c_ is now known as cristian_c [08:53] is ubuntu nsa backdoored ? === LoganG|off is now known as LoganG [08:55] back, so what would I need to do? mount -t iso9660 myimage.iso /mnt/cdrom -o loop according to linuxquestions.org [08:55] is ubuntu nsa backdoored ? [08:55] nurvxx: no [08:55] you mount the iso to a folder PLMg the folder must exist beforhand. [08:56] nurvxx: no, where did you read that? [08:56] PLMg: that command looks correct to me... try it and sdee [08:56] ok, how do I determine myimage.iso [08:56] http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message1538770/pg2 it says here [08:56] it is [08:56] PLMg: err its the file name/path to your iso file [08:57] PLMg: sudo mkdir /mnt/cdrom [08:57] PLMg: you dont understand linux paths and file names? [08:57] nurvxx: its not, and its offtopic here [08:58] basicly yes, but I am confused since I made a bootable usb stick from a iso file [08:58] I think that the iso file is unpacked into the usb stick [08:58] PLMg: i dont really get what you are trying to do-- if you allready have a bootable usb made [08:58] nurvxx: that doesnt say anything about a backdoor [08:58] you dont just unpack an iso to a usb and have it 'be' a bootable system [08:59] following the installer i get: Your 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 again [08:59] PLMg: if you wnat to make a bootable USB stick you need an app like unetbootin [08:59] or just use dd [08:59] since unetbootin doesn't work very well [08:59] or usb-creator-gtk [08:59] or any of the dozen tools/guides on the pendrive linux site. [08:59] or 1 2 3 creator from pendrivelinux [09:00] lots of options :)P [09:00] I've never had usb-creator-gtk work for me at all [09:00] ok... but since I already have a bootable usb stick, can I not continue from here? [09:00] you don't have a bootable USB stick [09:00] you have some random thing that doesn't work [09:00] k, I will remake it [09:00] PLMg: you got one thats bbootalbe.. so whats the issue? i think we are missing somthing. ;) [09:01] Oh - its a broken-bootable usb ;) [09:01] make it with a better tool [09:01] Fli-c: also remember to [09:01] nurvxx... another government conspiracy idiot heard from LMAO [09:01] Fli-c: MD5 test the ISO you downloaded [09:02] I like that Multi-system tool from pendrivelinux - lets me put a lot of bootable cd's on a single usb ;) [09:02] can I ask a question please?

[09:15] bonjour [09:16] damel, I think AR8151 is an ethernet card, not wireless. Are you sure? [09:16] hi, can I use Tor/vidalia such that all connections to outside is through tor [09:17] damel, yup, definitely an ethernet card. Not wifi [09:17] varunendra : I think your right...shoot [09:18] that would explain why it seems installed...it is and it works !! [09:18] damel, what does this say - "lspci -nn | grep 0280" [09:18] sorry about that [09:19] damel, the full output, it'll be a single line [09:19] if 13.10 is in beta how much time is left before we see 14.04 beta? [09:19] toxic_gamer: the version # is the date of release.. year/month [09:19] so 2014, 4th month for 14.04 [09:19] toxic_gamer: Probably about 6 months before a 14.04 beta comes out [09:20] that's brilliant [09:20] varunendra : Network controler [0280]: Broadcom Corporation Device [14e4:43b1] (rev03) [09:20] the whole alpha/beta thing is slowly getting less and less of a 'thing' it seems with each new release. even the term 'beta' seems rather vague these days. ;) === andrex is now known as andrex|off [09:21] damel, and what is your kernel version?

[10:24] the post just covers livecd and installed systems [10:25] if there is a live cd for non-pae, I might use that one. a blog post pointed me to the mini iso because there is one for non-pae systems [10:27] MrJones_: i used the alternate CD then hit i think f5 to specify the base system only, is that hel? [10:27] *help [10:28] I unlocked my second HDD from the Unity Launcher, rebooting did not make it reappear, how can I add it? [10:28] irssi-mike: at which point did you hit f5 [10:28] sharpshooter: can you ping the machine you want to connect to? [10:28] I cannot even download the installer components, I doubt I can specify that I just want the base system or anything else [10:28] also I just tried command line expert install, same thing: blanks to violet when I pick download installer components [10:29] please note the TTY still works and so does ctrl+c (brings me to black blankness instead), it doesn't look like a graphics driver hang [10:29] also I still got a text cursor as if I'm still in text mode [10:29] it just doesn't show anything, so I can't continue with the install [10:29] sharpshooter: try both with hostname and ip to see if you get the same result. [10:29] MrJones_: before install ubuntu [10:29] wylde, ok [10:31] MrJones_: No, I think it was f4, sorry [10:31] Found it, nvm [10:31] ciao [10:31] !list [10:31] mael: No warez here!

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 either [10:34] !nomodeset [10:34] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [10:35] OerHeks: you did read what I said, right? [10:35] MrJones_: the alternate cd is a text mode isntall [10:35] 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] think you [10:36] nomodeset is only needed when your gui does not come up [10:36] I'm in text mode install, there is no graphical gui [10:36] or at least I don't think there is supposed to be one at any point [10:36] ubottu: think you! [10:36] I picked command-line install, same thing. I don't think command line install has a clicky shiny gui [10:37] hello [10:37] one way to work around non-PAE is to install Lubuntu, and add ubuntu-desktop afterwards [10:37] Lubuntu does not use PAE kernel @ install [10:37] 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. [10:38] oh i love tty [10:40] OerHeks: is there a 12.04 lts lubuntu? [10:43] MrJones_, sure, but you can use 13.04 too [10:43] MrJones_: even in the mini iso, before you chose install you can f4 and choose install a minimal system [10:43] i think [10:43] irssi-mike: at which point? I tried and nothing happens when I press f4 [10:43] in the boot menu with the install option, nothing happens when I press f4 or f5 [10:43] MrJones_... there is a 12.04 Lubuntu. not sure if it's LTS [10:44] well I would use a regular ubuntu 12.04 lts if someone can tell me how to get through the installation :P [10:44] in command-line install, ctrl+c does successfully bring me back to the install main menu [10:44] but another try at downloading installer components just blanks out again, so I can try infinitely and ctrl+c back to the menu [10:45] I can netcat and successfully get a response from google.de [10:45] so network is working just fine [10:46] 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 idea [10:46] so I'm not really interested in a non-LTS version [10:47] well... i still use karmic [10:49] I would say it has to be LTS, it's the same version with a different Desktop and Display manager [10:50] lo [10:50] at the same time the support isn't desktop and display support [10:50] Hello, I'm teacher at school, I'm going to teach my student about installing ubuntu on VirtualBox, but I'm having problem deploying Ubuntu ISO in the computer classroom ...

[11:04] hiyas all [11:06] hi [11:08] I'm back...go figure ;) [11:09] anyone have an idea what to do if "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" hangs ? [11:09] look in dmesg for errors [11:10] how i can read dconf parameter? [11:10] for example com.canonical.Unity.Launcher [11:10] loa: you should probably use gsettings [11:10] i tried different ways but always dconf is sillent [11:10] jrib, i want command line [11:10] loa: gsettings is command line [11:10] for example dconf read /com/canonical/Unity/Launcher [11:10] ndiswrapper seems to load the drivers just fine... [11:11] what is wring with it? [11:11] loa: you mean get, no ? [11:11] Dr_Willis : dont see anything in the dmesg [11:11] if that was for me ;) [11:11] loa: for example: gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Launcher favorites [11:11] damel: no idea then. I dont use ndiswrapper [11:11] lucky you..hehe [11:12] if anyone else has any ideas they are more than welcome :) [11:12] jrib, hm it work, but why dconf fails? [11:12] dconf-editor works fine [11:12] damel: is there a reason to use ndiswrapper ? :) [11:13] faugusztin : no linux drivers for my wifi card [11:13] loa: maybe it is not stored in dconf? [11:13] jrib, i see it in dconf-editor [11:13] faugusztin : aparently the only way to make it work is with ndiswrapper [11:13] loa: maybe dconf-editor looks at more than just dconf, i don't know [11:14] jrib, dconf read /com/canonical/unity/launcher/favorites [11:14] damel: what device it is (what chip does that card have?) [11:14] now works good) [11:14] loa: ok [11:14] so.. anyone around who knows what to do if the text mode install (mini iso) hangs at the "download installer components" stage? I can still go to the TTY and do stuff, so the system isn't frozen, and ctrl+c brings me back to the install main menu. however, "download installer components" will just show blank purple, no dialog box or anything, no progress indicator. I waited for several minutes with nothing happening [11:14] loa: but use gsettings, it's higher-level [11:15] faugusztin : Broadcom Corporation Device [14e4:43b1] (rev 03) [11:15] jrib, maybe you now about this issue, i want add unity://desktop-icon to my unity launcher it appears well when i add it from gnome settings or in dconf-editor [11:15] but after relog or reboot it dissapear from unity launcher and from setting too [11:16] why i can see so strange behaviour? [11:16] loa: could be a permissions issue [11:16] jrib, how i can check this? [11:16] loa: but I have no experience with adding to the launcher [11:17] jrib, my idea is to write my favorites on startup using dconf or gsettings === jukka is now known as carbo [11:17] lucky for me i have no idea what you're talking about [11:17] loa: it is a good work-around but it's kludgy. I would recommend figuring out what's wrong instead [11:18] jrib, if i know how... [11:18] loa: try this: find ~ ! -user $USER [11:18] i have to chance server..

[11:30] What ubuntu versions are in debian 6 ? [11:31] koleS320: ubuntu version 12.4 [11:31] root32: depends on the kind of video editing you want to do [11:31] root32: and newer?

[11:37] theres perhaos 4 or 5 other liner and nonliner video editors out (not all are in the repos) [11:37] !debootstrap [11:37] debootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot for more information [11:37] MrJones_: debootstrap. but good luck with it. ;) [11:39] Dr_Willis: command not found :p [11:40] MrJones_: i suggest reading the guide.

[11:45] damel: yep, you will have to rebuild it over and over again unfortunately [11:46] better to have to do that, and have linux than winblows ;) [11:46] even if it is kinda anoying [11:47] thanks again :) [11:48] Hello, [11:50] I have Ubuntu in one partition and Windows in other.

Now, programs and features is not showing Ubuntu [11:58] nitish_: there is a manual removal method [11:59] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide [11:59] yeah, I checked those, I don't see any uninstall-ubuntu.exe file [11:59] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How_do_I_manually_uninstall_Wubi.3F [12:03] I installed Ubuntu in F partition. Do I need to look for boot.ini in C or in F? [12:04] nitish_: boot.ini will be in C: [12:04] nitish_: can you see how much of a headache Wubi is now... [12:04] Will uninstalling Wubi also delete Ubuntu? [12:05] nitish_: yes, wubi is the system to hold ubuntu in your (junk) NTFS [12:05] there is nothing called boot.ini. There is something called bootinfo.ini [12:06] OK,anyway I want to install Ubuntu again. So, can I download wubi in the same partition and install Ubuntu again? [12:07] will the previous version of Ubuntu be removed? [12:07] nitrile_, no, first remove wubi/ubuntu in windows softwarecenter. [12:07] No, Ubuntu is not showing up in installed programs [12:08] it should. [12:08] Ubuntu is in different partition than Ubuntu [12:08] nitish_: why use wubi again, can't you see how much headache it causes? [12:08] if ubuntu is installed in wubi, it should. [12:08] How to install Ubuntu then without wubi? [12:08] I don't know the details. But, Ubuntu is not there in installed programs lis [12:09] nitish_... they're trying to get you to abandon Wubi altogether. Use the Live DVD [12:09] Is there any alternative method? [12:10] wubi has basically been killed off.

[12:14] how can I do this? [12:15] Jpmh: i belve it has to do with regular expressions and how they are 'greedy' but i cant recall more then that i read a paragraph or twon on that in the 'mastering regular expressions' book. id suggest asking in #bash [12:15] !id | mansyur [12:15] mansyur: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [12:15] llutz: if I don't escape I get: syntax error near '(' [12:15] nitish_: if its a wubi install. find the files and delete them> [12:15] nitish_, just uninstall in tru softwarecenter > http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/images/wubiprecise06.jpg [12:15] echo hello|sed -r 's/(ll)/xx\1/' Jpmh [12:15] then grub also will be uninstalled.

MOST people in here dont use wubi.. so know very littl3e about it [12:17] I too don't want to use wubi anymore [12:17] nitish_: rename the wubi instlled directoryu or file or whatever it is. or try the manual uninstall guide mentioned above [12:19] anyone get grub to work with window 8 ? [12:19] hi [12:21] for me it sees it window 8, but when it tries to start it I get some time of error / warning about how it can not start like that [12:21] something with the security [12:22] damel, sounds like an UEFI issue [12:22] !uefi [12:22] UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [12:22] damel: I am by no means an expert on Windoze - haven't touched it for years - but doesnt 8 require a secure boot loader? [12:23] have no clue...got get grub to work I changed the boot loader in my bios [12:23] I think I can change it back to windows to make windows boot [12:23] I just find it wierd [12:23] i'm sure its a UEFI think [12:23] just have not figured out why yet ;) [12:23] if windows was instllwed in uefi mode. i think the bios has to be in uefi mode [12:24] if you disabled uefi mode - and then reinstalled windows... it might work. [12:24] but I dont use uefi. and dont plan on it.. any time soon. ;) [12:24] im just repeating what i seem to recall seeing in here. [12:24] Ubuntu CAN work in uefi mode also i belive. [12:25] actually..it does just fine in UEFI mode [12:25] I'm using it right now to boot [12:25] at least I think I am..hehe [12:25] ;) [12:25] Im in raspberry-pi mode ;) on my Pi. :) [12:25] Hi !

[12:36] ActionParsnip: I'm not running Ubuntu at the moment [12:37] I'll have to file it manually.

[12:38] hello all [12:39] ActionParsnip: MS=MicroSoft - I assumed - did not really worry too nuch about them when I saw ATI and NVIDIA, and as I re-read I see Intel too. So, basically almost all of the video makers [12:40] i need some thing that is similar to apache virtual host but for e.g when some one try to connect to voip.domain.com it redirects to public ip > 192.168.1.2 if games.domain.com it goes to public ip > 192.168.1.3 [12:40] what do i need to achieve that ? [12:40] Jpmh: why would Microsoft be interested in Mir? [12:41] ActionParsnip: lets ignore them, then, isn't the fact that Nvidia, Intel and Ati have bailed enough to cause concern ? [12:41] but i dont what it for webserver i want it for other services [12:44] Jpmh: there still will be wayland, so what [12:45] jrib, is there some kind of documentation for gsettings? [12:45] llutz: can you explain that to me - this I suspectr is what I am missing - what is the relationship between Wayland and MIR?

[15:35] Google suggests that it is because of encrypted /home [15:36] hi [15:36] But I don't have encryption [15:36] Libreoffice writer doesnt open the file in a legible fashion...?? [15:36] pixelshuck: check if what grub things is your root device is indeed the right partition [15:37] then check if you can mount it manually [15:37] can do that from restore cd [15:38] raub, from the recovery menu thingie, I can see that /dev/sd* don't exist [15:39] raub, Simply _erasing_ whole drive, and then installing clean ubuntu shows same error. Both BIOS and UEFI. and it DID work before. [15:40] Just did 'Check for updates' on my system, and got these errors: http://pastebin.com/9PtqdJ6K What do they mean? [15:40] Everything went up in flames, when upon downgrade (13.10 -> 13.04), I've accidentally checked to encrypt my home partition [15:41] Lesley: it means the PPA you added called "ronmi/wallbox" doesn't have a repository for your Ubuntu version === GingerGeek[Away] is now known as GingerGeek [15:42] Rory: ok. how do I delete tha particular PPA ? [15:42] Lesley: sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ronmi-wallbox-precise.list [15:42] loa: hmm fiddling around with device parameters didn't work, so thats a no go [15:43] swaagie, don't help? [15:43] you switched off acceleration? [15:43] Rory, actually I tried both those links and still the time is not getting changed.. I could change the time manually but does it not change with server ? [15:43] loa: didn't help indeed, tried -1, 0 (default), (1 is not support) and 2 [15:44] How do you find out what your system's fixed width font is? I figured that'd be in the Appearance settings... but no dice. [15:44] swaagie, strange problem) [15:44] Hanumaan: can you try the command: ntpdate -s ntp.ubuntu.com [15:44] i thought mouse have standarts or something [15:44] Rory: thanks. that line seems to have helped. what exactly does it do? [15:44] Lesley: It deletes the PPA from your list of repositories. Run "sudo apt-get update" for it to take effect [15:45] Lesley: And please be careful running commands from strangers on the Internet that you don't know what they do ;) [15:45] haha [15:45] Rory: because you're sinister, right? :) [15:45] loa: yeah, although razer is doing some funky stuff with their mices. Changing the velocity scaling also doesn't help [15:45] Rory, I tried still it did not changed and showing wrong time for some reason .. [15:46] ah well its no major issue, I can still work decently enough somehow you learn to adept [15:46] Hanumaan: if you run the command "cat /etc/timezone" does it show a result you expect? [15:47] Rory, yes it shows correct .. [15:47] Hanumaan: that name created lots of pressure and surely gives you a lot to live up to! :-p [15:48] Lesley, yes you are correct .. [15:49] hello [15:50] i want to create a portable ubuntu workspace (a.k.a. Live USB), but the maximum persistency is 4GB, which is too small for me. is there any chance it would work with full install, while installing it on external USB3 HDD? [15:53] paulens: It should work how you expect if you install to your external hard drive [15:55] Hey Guys.. i have another big problem.. I can't install software using apt-get. I am getting the error message: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6163283/ [15:59] Rory, thanks [15:59] but i already tried that, and it hung up at loading screen [16:00] tried debug mode, but it showed something about hardware..

I am using OpenVPN client but once that it is connected I am unable to connect from any other external PC to the public IP on the computer. [16:01] so I want to have openvpn + Access to the public IP [16:03] hello, could someone please tell me the solution to this error: http://i.imgur.com/9RNi6rH.png [16:04] fox-: disable the install CD as a package source in software centre or /etc/apt/sources.list [16:04] fox-, open softwarecenter, edit sources and disable CD-rom [16:04] i have done that to no avail [16:05] is a reboot required? [16:06] fox-, no, just close softwarecenter, and open terminal: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [16:06] Someone an Idea how to fix this? I can't install new software... http://paste.ubuntu.com/6163283/ [16:07] OerHeks, thank you [16:07] styler2go: What ubuntu version are you using? use: "cat /etc/issue" to check [16:07] Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS [16:08] styler2go: wget rory.sh/fixpackages; sh fixpackages [16:09] Rory: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6163338/ [16:09] :-/ [16:09] styler2go: wow... when did this start happening?

[16:12] Rory... I am tunneling through SSH to a VPS with ubuntu. on the VPS I setup the OpenVPN client. It connects properly but once that it connects, the SSH tunnel drops.. I get disconnected and I am unable to access the public ip. [16:12] Rory: that will need sudo ;) [16:12] Rory, he wants to access his public IP while connected to VPN. i think it's impossible [16:12] I 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? [16:12] what happens when you run crontab without any flags? [16:12] paulens: it is not impossible... it has to do with policy routing [16:13] paulens: It's not impossible at all, you can set a VPN up to use only certain routes. I'm not sure of the syntax though [16:13] but unfortunally I have little knowledge on policy routing [16:13] Rory, oh, that would be useful for me too xD [16:13] Rory: ouh yeah [16:14] it also wont restart [16:14] I compiled the latest kernel version and installed it, when I boot in it, it crashes showing errors about ecrypt and /dev/urandom [16:14] Try also asking in #openvpn Nooooooob [16:14] ice9: i'd ask in #linux or #kernel [16:14] I did but they showed me a 1000 page document lol with no help at all [16:14] styler2go: You might have to do an actual hardware reset [16:14] Rory: they are not helpful when it comes to advance setups [16:14] Rory, remember i asked about live usb? well, it shows some weird error about not recognizing hardware [16:14] and my mouse and keyboard stop working [16:14] paulens: Could you be more specific about the error? [16:15] sorry, idk how to access logs or anything like that [16:15] i killed linux... [16:15] lets have a moment of silence [16:15] Hello; http://i.imgur.com/7LDzBoi.jpg [16:15] what happens when you run crontab without any flags? [16:15] Rory, i can try to take a picture of the screen with my phone camera though... but i'll need to log off this channel [16:16] Rory, if i run it normally, it just loads up and hangs up with a blank pink-ish screen [16:16] so no one that could help me? :( [16:16] pixelshuck: boot to liveCD and chroot in then reinstate grub [16:17] anyone update with 3.8.0-31 today? [16:17] pixelshuck: omgubuntu has a guide called: sticking it to grub [16:17] ActionParsnip, No. It is Clean install. 7-th. [16:17] Rory, but if i run it in debug mode, it shows some weird warnings which basically consist of numbers, and then the menu appears. when i click boot normally, it says something about unrecognized hardware and my mouse and keyboard won't work from that point [16:17] is Samba installing by default with 13.04 ? [16:18] Rory: It's dead. won't restart. [16:18] Rory, there is an option to troubleshoot, but as my keyboard doesn't work, i can't access it... [16:18] styler2go: Pull the plug if necessary [16:18] Rory, shall i send you a screenshot? [16:19] Rory: It's a rent server :D [16:19] paulens: No, just because I have to go home in a minute [16:19] I have to reinstall it... [16:19] styler2go: That was my second suggestion [16:19] Oh no :( [16:19] Rory, oh.. sad xD [16:19] pixelshuck: still may need doing [16:19] styler2go: Try rebooting it first, your provider should provide a way to do this [16:20] paulens: I'm not sad, it's Friday and I'm going home :P [16:20] Rory, yes, but I AM sad xDDD [16:20] I am way more sad [16:20] lol [16:20] Nooooooob, tried #openvpn?

[16:32] Rory, [16:32] ubottu, [16:32] wilee-nilee, [16:33] wilee-nilee, yes, but in that page i also have for the gconf-editor [16:33] TheJeremy hmm, there are alot of settings can't find it. Ill check if it is in the advanced settings [16:33] i use the gconf [16:33] hey guys, I have sort of an odd question (maybe). I have a drive mounted in the fstab, but I believe the drive is failing, this is part of a pool. What I would like to do is pull the drive from the system, remount it using a USB drive dock. but I want it to be mounted as it is in the fstab and not in /media. what would be the proper syntax for accomplishing this? [16:35] hi dos some one know a place were i can find info about kevin mitnick? [16:35] baphomet1: you can plug it in, let it mount, then unmount it manually, and remount it however you want. [16:35] !fstab | baphomet1 all over the web [16:35] baphomet1 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 !Partitions [16:36] baphomet1, If its failing I would not have it in fstab. [16:36] theJeremy, not sure of the proper syntax to mount it as it appears in the fstab. [16:36] wilee-nilee, I know, but to properly remove it from the greyhole pool I need to at least have it there temporarily [16:37] wilee-nilee, right now the system is shutdown until I can figure out the best course of action that will minimize data loss [16:37] baphomet1: the hard way is to delve into udev(7) rules. [16:37] baphomet1, The bot has fstab info and multiple links at the bottom of the wiki. [16:37] wilee-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 fstab [16:38] I 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] baphomet1: if you do "mount " mount(8) will look up the device node in the fstab using "" as a key. [16:39] theJeremy, in the am I to put the actual mount point or do I leave that command as is? [16:39] Where do we set position windows are opened at? [16:40] baphomet1: 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 ". [16:41] baphomet1: whenever I said you need to use your intended mountpoint. [16:41] theJeremy, 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. [16:42] theJeremy, thank you for the assistance! [16:42] baphomet1: YW. I'm payin' my dues to try and get some help with a hard one. === cmagina is now known as cmagina-away [16:44] theJeremy, just one more question for clarification. you first suggested using "mount " indicating that it would look up the device node (this means the USB device?) in the fstab using the as the key. you then suggested using "mount ". would you say the second method is more 'fool proof' as it were? [16:44] anyone updated Eclipse to new R2 version today ? if any experiences you have [16:45] baphomet1: the second form of mount command is explicit. That makes it less ambiguous, not fool-proof, but in that direction, yes. [16:45] R2 = SR1 [16:45] theJeremy, thanks! I will run with that one. [16:45] baphomet1: good luck! [16:46] theJeremy, 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 correct [16:47] baphomet1: more like "mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb1" [16:47] baphomet1, you might have to specify the filesystem type [16:47] theJeremy, why the reverse? [16:48] Any gamers here? [16:48] daf [16:48] cause mount point always goes second [16:48] das [16:48] Like soldat or Liero x? [16:48] wheatthin, ah. ok [16:48] DA [16:48] is there a package to install all the MS OFFICE fonts so that libreoffice can display windows presentations properly? [16:48] baphomet1: note what whaeatthin said, and you might want to "man mount." [16:48] !msoffice [16:48] D [16:48] hmm [16:48] !eclipse update [16:49] !eclipse [16:49] theJeremy, checking it now :D [16:49] baphomet1: "mount [-fnrsvw] [-t vfstype] [-o options] device dir" <-- straight from the manpage. [16:49] theJeremy, thanks again! [16:49] wheatthin, thank you too! [16:49] so, nobody knows the solution to my problem? [16:49] !

[16:50] baphomet1: what wheatthin is talking about is the "-t vfstype" option. [16:50] ! eclipse [16:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about eclipse [16:50] duuuhhhhhh!!! [16:50] anyone [16:50] ddr_: have you tried any UI tweak tools? [16:51] Yo [16:51] is sshuttle secure enough for home use? [16:51] theJeremy, noted. I would hope it would pick up on the fact that it is ext4, but if not it's no biggie to specify it [16:53] baphomet1: 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.img [16:53] When using linux-lowlatency kernel, my ThinkPad X1 Carbon does not boot. I hangs at "Loading linux-lowlatency-3.8.31". When switching back to generic, it continues with loading ramfs and so on. [16:53] Anyone has an idea on how to track this down?

[17:02] im a new ubuntu user [17:02] baphomet1: if you want to resize the fs, you should definitely dd it off the flaky hardware onto a file, and work with that until it's less than a partition on the smaller target drive, then you can dd the file onto the target drive partition device node.

[17:09] all you have to do is generate the xorg.conf file and have it use "nv" as the driver instead of nvidia [17:09] i got a cd with iso that i have downloded [17:09] TheSov: 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. [17:10] TheSov: 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] wheatthin: Do you have to do anything for the kernel kms module? [17:10] ok if i find out what version of the driver i was using can i reinstall that? [17:10] The ext4 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI2 (0,0,0) (sdb) failed. on an ultrabook samsung 900x model. [17:11] 12.04 install [17:11] i wanna change the installation point of /dev/sdb3 [17:11] because i know it was 304.88 [17:11] Quick logging question. I've added cron.* -/var/log/cron.log to /etc/rsyslog.conf in an attempt to keep the main log file from being "flooded" by cron messages. It is now updating the /var/log/cron.log file, but the updates are also going to /var/log/messages as well. Is there a way to stop this duplication? [17:11] jhutchins are you there? [17:11] tux3: If you need to get the iso file off of the CD it's just dd if=/dev/cdr of=debian.iso === jan is now known as Guest11177 [17:12] i wanna change the mount point of /dev/sdb3 [17:12] tux3: Then you should be able to dd if=debian.iso of=/dev/ [17:12] but from wich path? === RDash is now known as RDash[AW] === dean is now known as dean|away [17:12] tux3, it would help if you were in the current iso directory for that to work [17:13] In the opinion of everyone here: What is the best way to upgrade Ubuntu to a new release? [17:13] jhutchins, Ummm kms kernel modules could be loaded via modules.d or something alike [17:13] also in my home directory? [17:13] if i remove the Eclipse folder from my /opt , does it remove completely ? [17:13] where did you create the iso at? :) [17:13] or from terminal? [17:14] is there any way to reinstall nvidia driver 304.88? [17:14] from terminal [17:14] TheSov, indeed you can always use the apt-get reinstall [17:15] yes but the heck would the package name for that driver be? [17:15] heh [17:15] TheSov, you can search for it apt-cache search nvidia [17:16] a7i3n: the common response is a clean install after backing up your data, but an internet OS release upgrade can be done with : sudo do-release-upgrade [17:16] yes found it! [17:16] thanks! [17:16] yup [17:17] hopefully this wokrs [17:17] works [17:17] hi pepee [17:17] hmm says i have a different driver in dkms [17:17] remove all dkms modules? [17:18] it means you already have the newest version [17:18] otherwise it would have updated [17:18] its asking me if i want to remove dkms modules? [17:18] Sure. [17:18] cool [17:19] works! [17:19] thanks so much [17:19] im going download that deb and keep it, i dont want this happening again [17:19] Q: if i remove the Eclipse folder from my /opt , does it remove completely ? [17:20] thx [17:20] theJeremy, back [17:21] wheatthin, back [17:21] hs366: normally yes [17:21] i just installed it by DL the package from Eclipse.org , not from package manager [17:22] so i thought maybe i should do more , [17:22] wheatthin, if I use DD and move it to a file, am I able to then expand that file out onto a new drive at a later date? [17:22] Thanks BluesKaj... I usually do a clean install, just checking to see if anyone knew a better way. I think I'd like a rolling release model... === reed_ is now known as reed [17:22] theJeremy, IC. so I could go to a larger drive, but smaller would be bad? [17:23] Calinou, thx , i will try it :) [17:24] a7i3n: I've done it successfully using both methods , but I prefer the internet upgrade , because there's no fooling around with reinstalling stuff [17:24] baphomet1, yup [17:25] hi all [17:26] hello [17:26] is it possible to mount /usr with --bind option ? [17:26] on an ubuntu system [17:27] wheatthin, 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 problems [17:27] wheatthin, judging by what theJeremy said, it looks like DD may panic if I do that [17:28] hey guys, solved. I was out of free space on /boot [17:28] thank you all [17:28] yeah the drive it will panic, cause it'll also try to copy the empty bits [17:28] so you must have the same size drive, or larger, never smaller [17:29] wheatthin, 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] wheatthin, 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. [17:31] wheatthin, 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] it's not needed to be in fstab [17:32] is kubuntu binary compatible with ubuntu ? [17:32] wheatthin, 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] I see [17:32] wheatthin, so will the above command accomplish what I am trying to accomplish? [17:33] as long as /media/usb1 exists, if not create the directory [17:33] how can i prevent Zeitgeist from eating all my RAM? [17:34] paul424: kubuntu and ubuntu use the same repositories, bot are Ubuntu [17:34] tryign to find 'spotter' a python script to spot files, it says its managed by udate??? [17:34] I dont see in /etc/init.d [17:34] ok [17:34] wheatthin, I used /media/usb1 as an example, but I understand. [17:34] paul424: 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 mug [17:34] wheatthin, so all that command is doing is pointing the mount point listed in the fstab at a different location, correct? [17:34] i have problem with make step install gammamoo server. can people help me install it in my server, ubuntu? [17:35] ooh this is fstab entry [17:35] You have to also specify filesystem type [17:35] paul424: looks different from the outside - the repositories are same and the basic stuff is the same underneath the hood [17:35] and user permission [17:36] wheatthin, 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] in fstab [17:36] http://www.ogre3d.org/tikiwiki/Ogre+Meshy I wante to install kubuntu on ubuntu desktop [17:37] i have problem with make step install gammamoo server. can people help me install it in my server, ubuntu? [17:37] wheatthin: 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. [17:38] paul424: No need, just install KDE. [17:38] rgr.. I'll remember that jhutchins [17:38] !kde [17:38] KDE (http://kde.org) is an open community that creates and maintains software including the Plasma desktop. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. [17:39] wheatthin, 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] to install an KUBUNTU program* ... [17:39] paul424: but you don't have to install kde to install that app, no [17:39] on ubuntu system [17:39] i have problem with make step install gammamoo server. can people help me install it in my server, ubuntu? [17:39] :) [17:39] baphomet1, no sir.. partition type should go right after mount [17:40] wheatthin, "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. [17:41] no uuid for /dev [17:41] just the device.... /dev/sda or whatever [17:41] tech11, 3rd party, not technically a ubuntu support install, you might also try #ubuntu-server [17:42] UUID will be just for fstab [17:42] tech11: There should be a README file and possibly an INSTALL file with instructions in the package. [17:43] tech11: If there isn't one, or if it's not clear, you should reconsider using that package. [17:44] baphomet1, check this out http://askubuntu.com/questions/232790/automount-ext4-partition-with-user-permission-ownership-fstab [17:44] Can someone help me out with screen/byobu configuration on Ubuntu EC2 instance? Specifically, handling login and logout of sessions. [17:45] JoeLinux: what are you looking for? [17:45] I need to support multiple connections to the same byobu session on login (so multiple connections mirror the display). For teaching/observation purposes. [17:45] JoeLinux: are using the screen or the tmux backend? [17:46] hi [17:46] kirkland: Eh, it doesn't matter. I have both installed and can switch to whichever is more suited for this purpose. [17:46] JoeLinux: do you care if your students have write access inside of the session? or do you need to protect yourself by making that read-only? [17:47] can someone help me add a podcast to rhythmbox? [17:47] http://tunein.com/topic/?topicId=49578202 [17:47] im tryin to get this one to work [17:47] kirkland: Don't need that protection. To be more specific, I'm having another developer login to make his application work, and he's going to run through it step-by-step while I watch, basically. [17:48] JoeLinux: okay, great [17:48] He's in NYC, I'm in Miami. So, need to mirror display across SSH sessions. [17:48] wheatthin, should I not use the entry as it appears in the fstab? [17:48] JoeLinux: just enable byobu to launch by default, by running "byobu-enable" [17:48] JoeLinux: do that once; now both of you ssh into the system, and you'll both be looking/typing in the same byobu session [17:49] baphomet1, not for the initial mount.. just in fstab [17:49] Hello there I need a little help with this http://askubuntu.com/questions/350845/how-to-embed-a-new-window-on-gtk-quickly-glade [17:49] kirkland: I don't need to enable multiuser or anything? [17:49] so if you're trying to manually mount it it's mount -t ext4 /dev/ /media/ [17:50] kirkland: Well I'll be damned. It works that way right out of the box... lol. I feel stupid. [17:50] when doing it in fstab, it's by UUID [17:50] JoeLinux: enjoy ;-) [17:50] wheatthin, ok. I am going to have to figure out what the entry for it is as /dev/device. [17:50] wheatthin, ic. [17:50] kirkland: One more... how do I make this "override" the regular session, so you're always in byobu? [17:50] JoeLinux: that's what byobu-enable does [17:50] i m facing brightness problem in ubuntu 12.04 in sony vaio e- series [17:51] wheatthin, I am having a look at that link now [17:51] kirkland: 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] plz help me i m trying from a year today i came to know this irc channel [17:51] kirkland: Which is great because I always pick up where I left off, and don't kill the session by mistake. [17:51] JoeLinux: so you want to exit byobu, and then remain in a shell on the remote system? [17:51] kirkland: Nope. End the session by typing "exit" once. [17:52] JoeLinux: you want to type exit, thereby killing byobu AND logging out of your ssh session? [17:52] wheatthin, 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] any one here to solve my prob ????? [17:52] kirkland: Ugh, nevermind again. It seems that's also the default behavior. Please ignore my... uh... ignorance. [17:53] JoeLinux: yep, that's exactly the default [17:53] baphomet1, well the UUID is basically a shortcut to specifying the device [17:53] kirkland: Thanks. [17:53] i have problem with make step install gammamoo server. can people help me install it in my server, ubuntu? [17:53] i m facing brightness problem in ubuntu 12.04 in sony vaio e- series plz help me i m trying from a year today i came to know this irc channel is any one here to solve my prob ????? [17:53] Greetings. 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] !blkid | baphomet1 [17:53] baphomet1: 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) [17:54] JoeLinux: no problem, always glad to see new Byobu users [17:54] wheatthin, 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] baphomet1, when specifying the mount point, all you're doing is giving you a physical place to access the device [17:54] kirkland: I've been using Screen for years, but never really played with Byobu. [17:54] bazhang, thanks for the suggestion, at this point we are far beyond that. [17:54] kirkland: Good stuf [17:54] i have problem with make step install gammamoo server. can people help me install it in my server, ubuntu? [17:54] dinesh__: I'm running xfce, but unders Settings/Desktop I have "Brightness" and "Saturation" sliders. [17:54] ?? [17:55] wheatthin, yeah, still bakes my brain though ahah. [17:55] jhutchins : then plz help me [17:55] baphomet1, it does take some getting used to. :) I've been involved with linux since 2000 or somewhat [17:56] dinesh__: How? [17:56] idk :P [17:57] if u can solve then plz let me know [17:57] wheatthin, yeah. I mean I have been using it for a while now and I love how I continue to learn more about it and how really powerful it is, just scared to break something :D. so yeah, just curious why using the UUID wouldn't work?

[19:39] italian-cruncher, yes, but I also installed Sun java via the PPA set up by WebUpd8. [19:39] if yes, then you have to search for 'OpenJDK' in that list [19:39] italian-cruncher, I know.

[19:44] AdityaRaj, any drive will do as long as you can boot from it (depends on BIOS) [19:44] italian-cruncher: O' [19:44] italian-cruncher: Also, Ubuntu 13.04. Before and now. [19:44] echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness [19:44] italian-cruncher: I'm using bridged adapter, not NAT [19:44] italian-cruncher, i have been using a hdd which was great.. but then later i used a pen drive but the performance was quite poor in comparison any idea what might be the reason? [19:45] could it be the usb transfer rate supported by different devices ? [19:45] havv, http://www.howtogeek.com/122641/how-to-forward-ports-to-a-virtual-machine-and-use-it-as-a-server/ [19:45] AdityaRaj, is the Hard disk USB2 or 3?

[19:47] havv, did you check that you aren't using an IP already used on the network? [19:48] AdityaRaj, 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] italian-cruncher: yeah [19:49] Heeeeelp, That imagebin does not show a complete gparted image [19:49] how not [19:49] but while creating a startup disk i saw an option for specifying space for retaining data across boots, italian-cruncher what is that for? [19:50] havv, is the gateway correct? tried with 192.168.0.1? [19:50] AdityaRaj, if you did that then you are fine [19:50] italian-cruncher: yeah, I copied it from ipconfig /all [19:50] italian-cruncher, should i be able to install softwares as well and not lose them across boots? [19:50] havv, seems like you will have better odds on askubuntu ;) === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [19:51] upgrade questions!!n [19:51] what do you need in the picture [19:51] AdityaRaj, I don't really know, but you can try by installing a package or changing wallpaper, rebooting and seeing if changes are kept. so you can be 100% sure you had set it up correctly [19:51] yeah i am testing that out [19:51] Heeeeelp, Partitions [19:52] i tried creating a file in documents folder in home directory and it remained there [19:52] not i am installing ruby [19:52] sda1 5 that all it shows me [19:52] lets see if it is still there after reboot [19:52] thanks italian-cruncher [19:53] Want minimal backup before crucial upgrade.

Now however, it keeps updating itself so my comments don't stick around [19:55] is there a way to lock that file down or stop bcmwl? [19:55] Siidis, 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 room [19:56] moes, for info about partitions just write sudo lsblk [19:56] in a terminal ofc === ole`01_ is now known as ole`01 [19:56] i'm in 12.04 lts [19:57] italian-cruncher, is there a way to compress files that I want to keep to minimize the space it takes up on backup drive?? [19:57] Siidis, ofc you can use compression, you are you really trying to backup 300 gigabytes into 16? noway [19:59] Gotcha! No, but 30G of stuff I want to keep lol. Thanks [19:59] Heeeeelp, From ternminal sudo lsblk and pastebin [19:59] Siidis, no compression can make 30G fit into 16 :) unless you store text files all made up with zeros [19:59] compression usually means getting 5-15% less usage [20:00] you can achieve 99% compression but not on 'real' data [20:01] what is jokey-backend? [20:03] Jockey is a tool for installing third-party hardware drivers. [20:05] Good evening.

[20:48] can i Private you [20:49] Heeeeelp, you can private me but you have 1730x more chances of getting an answer if you just re-state the problem here, very briefly [20:50] I have checked my cd for errors already I am trying to install ubuntu 12.04 and at the end of installation it gives me a GRUB bootloader issue [20:51] now when i load ubuntu my computer has a black screen whith a blinking bar [20:51] Heeeeelp, are you dual booting? [20:51] no [20:51] ggg [20:51] Heeeeelp, did you have multiple hard drives? [20:52] no [20:52] just one sata [20:52] Heeeeelp, did you set up manual partitioning or automatic one? [20:52] !fixgrub [20:52] 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 [20:53] manual at first then I had it auto [20:53] i get this message at restart:"continue to wait,press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery" [20:53] let me check out that link real quick [20:53] Heeeeelp: How old is this system? What OS did it come with? [20:53] brand new [20:53] Heeeeelp, I don't think that link will help [20:53] i just built it [20:54] Heeeeelp: Did not come with an OS? [20:54] sounds like something went wrong during install [20:54] no [20:54] i built this computer from scratch [20:54] how big is the hard drive in total? [20:54] Heeeeelp: Do you know if it has UEFI? Did the motherboard say anything like Windows 8 ready? [20:54] might be a GPT vs MBR issue [20:55] Heeeeelp: Actually, if you built it, what make and model motherboard? [20:55] i believ so [20:55] also size of the hard disk pz [20:55] 320gb [20:55] ok so its not a MBR vs GPT issue [20:55] Heeeeelp, can you boot that pc into a live machine [20:55] MSi [20:55] yes [20:55] I mean, start the live CD and have a terminal? [20:56] yes [20:56] do it and do a sudo lsblk [20:56] Heeeeelp: Which model too... [20:56] msi has made hundreds of different motherboards... [20:56] 970A-G46 [20:57] i did and posted it earlier [20:57] Restated Issue: 13.04 Battery Charge Indicator on Lenovo G580 Notebook stays on "0:02" while charging via AC, leading to immediate shutdown after unplugging AC. Time estimate is incorrect and shown regardless of actual (higher) charge. Going to sleep, unplugging, waking <- is a workaround that gets me correct estimates. Any ideas on how to solve the issue? [20:57] It's uefi. [20:58] !uefi [20:58] UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [20:59] let me look at that link [21:00] Heeeeelp: Item 5 under install might help, but I'd read the whole thing. [21:02] i have a laptop with 12.04 on it, i've recently started using a secondary monitor when at the office, when i get home and am using a single display again, everything is all sorts of jacked up until i get in nvidia control panel and set it back to one screen [21:03] well, it shows one screen anyway, but i have to save everything and reboot [21:03] hello guys im back [21:03] hello tux3 === sasha- is now known as isasha [21:04] anyone else ever have any trouble switching between multi monitors and single display? [21:04] hi [21:04] mmazing nice to meet u [21:04] i was thinking i could have two separate x.org conf files and switch them out before x starts [21:05] nice to meet you as well [21:05] thanx [21:05] i wonder if i could detect in /dev/ or something how many monitors are connected and replace xorg.conf with the correct one [21:06] where u come from? [21:08] "i wonder if i could detect in /dev/ or something..." Hi, you can try with lspci | grep VGA I guess [21:08] how can I get xlock on 13.04? The xlockmore package doesn't seem to exist anymore. [21:09] anyway i would like to how can i choose a good server to make upgrates for lubuntu [21:09] ice_qb, i think that will only tell me how many video adapters are connected, not monitors [21:10] mmazing pls let me know as u can [21:10] mmazing: maybe you should play with xrandr ? i know these are examples for arch, but still, the point is the same: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xrandr#Scripts [21:11] hey guys, how do I stop a service on ubuntu 12.04?

[21:13] my question was about the lubuntu's update [21:13] issue: battery indicator completely inaccurate while charging on AC, doesn't anyone have any experience whatsoever regarding this issue? [21:14] i get this message at restart:"continue to wait,press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery" [21:14] mmazing: wich server can i set to make system's upgrade?? [21:15] hey itialian cruncher [21:15] JohnVonNeumann, you should tell us more [21:15] tux3: i haven't used lubuntu, but i'm still not sure what you are trying to do, are you trying to update your install?

[21:21] fullname [21:21] (because it is a jar) [21:21] use autocomplete [21:21] di dove sei italian-cruncher [21:21] is there a way to get more info from ubiquity? all i know is grub-install fails somehow.. [21:21] ohnoesaltnick, actually, a jar requires another syntax, ./ is for binaries [21:22] then what do i use? [21:22] italian-cruncher: /sdb3 is an ext4 fileststem with Antergos(Arch) in it [21:22] is dconf something like a successor to dconf? do they edit the same stuff? [21:22] ohnoesaltnick, try this http://www.java-forums.org/awt-swing/11673-executing-jar-double-click-style-linux.html [21:23] dewdsen, dconf == dconf [21:23] argh, i meant conf and dconf, sorry ;) [21:23] i found a possible solution to my battery woes [21:23] "gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/gnome-power-manager/general/use_time_for_policy false" [21:23] but its from 2010 [21:23] JohnVonNeumann, I am reading your fstab now === chaotic_good is now known as ample-bosoms [21:24] JohnVonNeumann, the paste wasn't fstab, can you post fstab? [21:26] What exactly does this error mean? : error while loading shared libraries: libdbus-glib-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [21:26] hi... I was wondering if somebody can help me do a restore, I'm running 12.04 [21:26] Maybe it is trying to tell me dbus-glib is somehow corrupt?? [21:26] If xchat doesn't seem to be running a gui but is running in the background. Does that mean I have problems? [21:27] italian-cruncher: here it is , http://dpaste.com/1398387/ [21:27] mobilemeyhem, check tray [21:27] Why would xchat have 5 processes running the sh command? [21:27] I tried using the back-up, but get an error [21:29] I have 3 processes with the xchat logo running under the process name "sh" === skinux is now known as jubale [21:29] This looks very bad to me [21:29] JohnVonNeumann, the fstab says that the / is sdb2... why you said Antergos is on sdb3? [21:29] JohnVonNeumann, are you dualbooting with Ubuntu? [21:30] italian-cruncher: yea [21:30] what about 13.10 [21:30] it [21:31] italian-cruncher: trial booting [21:31] JohnVonNeumann, I am trying to sort out your mess :) [21:31] I'm trying to get a usb-to-serial adapter to work but I'm having some problems... do I need to install any packages (other than minicom) to get this to work? [21:32] italian-cruncher: i also have windows7 in /sdb1 [21:32] italian-cruncher: is auto really an fstype, in the first 3 disk/by-uuids [21:32] can some one tell me how to boot to the restore function? [21:32] otak, isn't auto autodetect? [21:33] i think auto is for automount in options [21:33] JohnVonNeumann, so you have 1) sdb1 win7 2) sdb2 Ubuntu, 3) sdb3 Antergos, why is your ubuntu trying to mount Antergos partition? is it what you want? [21:33] i am having Terminal issues.... I type in sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair and it returns with recv failed [21:34] Heeeeelp, That computer have net access?

[21:40] lol it has opened to a similar screen before, when hard booted off [21:40] Hi [21:40] Heeeeelp, You can download a iso with the boot repair on it. Did you buy this computer yourself? [21:40] I don't have windows... just ubuntu 12.04 [21:41] italian-cruncher: i think there is something wrong with /sdb3 line in fstab bscause i tried 2 edit it [21:41] friends..want to install mysql [21:41] on ubuntu 13.04 [21:41] i bought the part and built myself [21:42] Krustyklimber: there is a key to get a (grub) menu of which kernel to boot, (if a new kernel prohibits boot but an old kernel works (which problem I have never had)) [21:42] root@toshiba-Satellite-C640:~# sudo apt-get install mysql-server [21:42] Reading package lists...

[21:42] JohnVonNeumann, you have an error in that line, remove the auto, [21:42] no i am not sure i thought someone said it was [21:42] Krustyklimber: i think it is ESC but not sure [21:43] Heeeeelp, who is someone? [21:43] jboii: sidenote - ftp must die... don't reply. [21:43] italian-cruncher: and replace it with ..? [21:43] I have trouble with Ubuntu, when I launch it, it have wird visual bugs [21:43] JohnVonNeumann, just remove the auto, from that line, leaving all of it the way it is [21:43] It is the first launch [21:43] yes it is uefi [21:44] JohnVonNeumann, the new line should look like this: /dev/disk/by-uuid/002d3ce8-abd5-436b-89aa-d03d9241604c /media/My4Files ext4 nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0 [21:44] ok thanks David [21:44] Heeeeelp, Is the bios set to legacy and does the HD have a msdos partition table? [21:44] xrandr didn't work for detecting monitors as i need to do it before x11 starts at all, anyone have any ideas for detecting how many monitors are connected before x starts ? [21:44] i have no idea [21:45] Heeeeelp, Those are key parts for the install, uefi is not really needed with ubuntu. [21:46] restore fails with an "unknown error" if I try to run it from the systems icon [21:46] mmazing: why do you need to do it before X starts ? [21:47] i hadubuntu do all the partitioning itself [21:48] http://hpics.li/3d1f572 what shoud I do ? [21:48] Heeeeelp, do a re-install with manual partitioning and do 3 partitions, a swap area, a / area and a /home area [21:50] faugusztin: i want to switch out my xorg.conf file before it starts [21:50] David-A now it's just stuck with a purple screen... didn't boot at all [21:51] mmazing: the point of xrandr stuff is that you don't need to have any xorg file at all, you just dynamically enable/disable displays according to what is detected via that script === Sickki_ is now known as Sickki [21:52] Viproz: did you try unity --replace [21:53] How do I do it ?

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 fl [22:12] ags. Should I just do the same thing again with -r -1 or are other flags needed. Sorry for the long post. Thank you.
