[00:00] well i have no browser so im going to trust you [00:00] hello world.py [00:00] not installed [00:00] ugh [00:01] stopping system V runlevel compatibility [00:01] what does that means? [00:03] ssystem 5 was a (the) unix fr4om way back when, it used a system of 'runlevels' to start and stop services when booting up and shutting down, this all has been replaced by !upstart in ubuntu, but remains backwards compatible [00:08] Im thinking about getting a cheap VPS to test out my latest program, it seems ubuntu isnt too popular of a choice for servers [00:10] FAPVPS is great, what ive been using [00:13] good news [00:13] i fixed it [00:13] bad news [00:13] my resolution is bad and i can't change it back [00:13] it only allows me 1024x768 [00:14] I had to put some crap in my /etc/rc.local to get my 1920x1080 [00:15] what crap? [00:16] Just installed Ubuntu on a VM on my Mac. Takes a little while to get used to, but it's good. [00:17] its not there anymore :( [00:17] was it on this machine? [00:17] does Mac have spyware? [00:17] xrandr wont change it [00:18] Hundred: hrmm? [00:19] Territoriojoven, sorry I cant find the tutorial I used either [00:20] Why is it, that the older version of emacs (23) is the default one when doing apt-get install emacs. Instead of the newest version (that is actually there, "hidden" under emacs24) [00:20] but does it says something specific? [00:20] what is the thinking behind that? [00:20] maybe you added a line saying the resolution you wanted to use [00:20] maybe i can use it too [00:20] How do you switch the GUI. i heard cinnamon is a good GUI. [00:21] malinus: actually where? [00:21] yellow_no_5: install it, then choose it at the login screen [00:21] Territoriojoven, I had to run 2 different commands, one to add the resolution, and one to change to it [00:21] reisio, it's in the repository. Just under emacs24, the default "emacs" installs emacs23 [00:22] kool, thanks i'll try it. Thanks Reisio [00:22] malinus: it was probably added as emacs24 when it was still in beta === prime is now known as Guest83063 [00:22] malinus: which according to Ubuntu might still be the case, stable upstream (Emacs devs) is not the same as stable downstream (Ubuntu maintainers) [00:23] reisio, oh okay. So it's kinda of a beta? [00:23] malinus: my guess is that it was not stable even according to Emacs developers when the package 'emacs24' was created [00:24] malinus: there is always a lag between upstream stable and distro stable, to make sure it actually is stable, as compared to the whole rest of the distro [00:24] when people sudo apt-get install emacs, they have expectations of stability [00:24] when they sudo apt-get emacs24, they probably haven't as much, since it's probably specifically a prerelease package [00:25] reisio, so in theory, the emacs24 isn't as tested with the rest of the ubuntu system and packages, so there could be some bugs, with let's say unity or whatever? [00:25] Territoriojoven, this looks like it http://askubuntu.com/questions/95977/set-a-specific-screen-resolution-with-xrandr [00:26] malinus: in theory and reality [00:26] newer things cannot be as mature as older things [00:26] malinus, theres like 8 version of emacs in the repos [00:26] they can be tested enough to be considered as stable as previous versions, however [00:27] * pfifo wishes there was like 8 versions of gcc in the repos too [00:28] I'm new to linux and all, but generally ubuntu is considered very conservative when it comes to software? So in theory the "standard repos" will be lagging more behind compared to other distros? [00:28] malinus: no Ubuntu is not conservative [00:28] malinus, no not at all [00:28] but there's not much you can do about the lag besides throw tons of money and developers at the problem [00:28] !latest | malinus [00:28] malinus: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [00:29] ...or sacrifice stability/reliability/security [00:29] you pick one or the other [00:29] if you instantly make available upstream's code, you cannot remotely guarantee stability/reliability/security [00:29] malinus, we have a LTS that is long term stability (currently 12.04) and a latest greatest release (currently 13.04) [00:29] not without a lot more money and devs than any distro is utilizing [00:30] in some cases there are even legal issues to consider, sometimes upstream changes licenses and other strange things [00:32] Funny how different it is compared to windows. On windows, you just find some software, and just assume the developers made sure there are no bugs. But I guess on linux there are more possibility of "cross-interferences" between software ? [00:33] you never assume the developers made sure there are no bugs.. thats 'impossible' ;0 [00:33] malinus: well what I do is assume the developers did no such thing :p [00:33] on Windows :p [00:33] the point being that theoretically Ubuntu maintainers are making sure any particular version of any particular package added to the repos breaks no other packages [00:33] which is, y'know, super great [00:34] on windows you are grabing software often from differnt sites. In ubuntu, you should stick to the tested default repos. [00:34] malinus, you forgetting on microsoft, there are no bugs, there all features [00:34] :p [00:35] reisio, but in windows, how would a software break another software? [00:35] and how does that exactly happen on linux [00:35] malinus: ive had .net updates totally break things. [00:35] malinus: any number of ways [00:35] on Windows each installer can basically do whatever it wants [00:35] there is no oversight [00:35] each time you install an application on Windows, you are tossing a coin [00:36] from when i setup ubuntu i chose some preset path's for windows partitions and now i want to change them [00:36] there is no package management, at all [00:36] !offtopic [00:36] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [00:36] Roy_Ubuntu_13-04: you'd probably want to edit /etc/fstab, then [00:36] Roy_Ubuntu_13-04: look in /etc/fstab if its defined there. [00:36] Roy_Ubuntu_13-04: the mountpoint directory must exist befor you mount the filesystem [00:36] reisio, yeah, I'm following you. But you just assume the developer took care of everything. I'm just trying to understand why this is so different on linux. [00:36] malinus, if Software A and B each use Library C, and Software A upgrades Library C to a version that is incompatable with Software B... then Software B will stop working as expected [00:37] malinus: because assumptions are bad [00:37] so the only thing i do is edit the path's in /etc/fstab and now only root has access, and sudo chown roy:roy /media/roy/windows_xp does not work [00:37] malinus: and also, yes, each installer has to basically provide all of its own libraries and deps on Windows [00:37] malinus: Unix systems try to minimize redundant things [00:37] it will say it changed it, then when i repete it say it changed it again, instead or retained [00:38] Roy_Ubuntu_13-04: you do not chown or chmod ntfs/vfat filesystes. You use the proper mount options in fstab [00:38] reisio, ah, so there is the thing. It's about the libraries. Thanks. And libraries are the same things we call .dll on windows right? [00:38] malinus: it's partially about the libraries, and dependencies [00:38] the path's do exist before mounted and roy ownes them, and when i mount root ownes them [00:38] Roy_Ubuntu_13-04: what is your exact fstab line for the filesystem? [00:38] malinus: and auditing and QA [00:38] Roy_Ubuntu_13-04: the owner of the directory BEFOR the mount,m does not matter [00:39] malinus: basically every choice to be made, Unix makes the superior decision about what to do :p [00:39] malinus: you can still run the latest, unaudited, unreviewed, untested applications if you want [00:39] malinus: but they tend to not be easily available through repos [00:39] as that would defeat the purpose [00:39] well i left the orginal parms the same, but tince they dont work now i been messing with them [00:39] except for particular distros, whose goal is that [00:39] !ntfs-3g | Roy_Ubuntu_13-04 worth a read for some good background info.

Here the information that I could get: http://pastebin.com/cjQZTiCe [02:01] My problem is, if iam using ubuntu 13.04 usb persistent, in a laptop with Vista, could be my data on hard drive of Vista in Danger when iam connected to the internet by wifi , or even by ethernet . I will be safer is i create a user name and work there with password programed to ask for all time s and for all modes... when we type something in terminal ? [02:01] rodicio: did you add a third party repository¿ [02:01] Is there going to be some backport for vlc 2.1 without building? [02:01] UrielVigilante: dont mount the windows partions, and they cant be accessed. and i doubt if it would be any risk in any case [02:01] xangua, I think not [02:02] sil: look for a ppa yet? [02:02] I found the videolan daily stable buidls [02:02] gonna try that out [02:02] which is faster in performance ubuntu 13.10 or 13.4 .. i use hp core 2 due laptop with 2.1 GHz processor and 2 FB ram [02:02] xangua, I have installed Opera, chromium and no more [02:03] max64, 13.10 questions belong in #ubuntu+1 [02:03] @pfifi:thanks [02:03] Dr_Willis: to unmount in graphic mode how to do it in side bar ? left click on ti , then what ? [02:04] UrielVigilante: filoe manager has an eject/umount, or somthing item in the menus [02:05] or a little arrow to eject [02:05] !manual | UrielVigilante [02:05] UrielVigilante: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [02:06] UrielVigilante: i imagine you are being overly paranoid. The browser is not normally going to access arbitary files in the users home. If it could that would be a major security issue. Just dont run java or other stuff you dont recognize in the browser. [02:06] uh [02:07] anybody? [02:07] what [02:07] Dr_Willis: But when i do unmount in file manager, all files disappear from the screen, but in side bar, the icon of the hard drive still there. That sure the disk is unmounted? [02:07] er [02:07] I couldn;t figure out how to wps [02:07] UrielVigilante: its showing unmounted volumes. [02:08] UrielVigilante: try the 'mount' command and look [02:08] !mount | UrielVigilante [02:08] UrielVigilante: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [02:08] ok, thanks , then i should be safe..i hope! [02:08] !mount [02:08] xangua, You could help me? Where do I look for? [02:10] Dr_Willis: About the JAva, i have the restrited package. Should i remove something to be safely or dont run java ? [02:11] UrielVigilante: i doubt if its going to be an issue. If you dont allow stuff to run, or remove java if you want. I dont worry about it. [02:11] \!java [02:11] !java [02:11] To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [02:11] UrielVigilante: by using linux, youi are allready 100x+ safer then if you were using windows [02:12] You don know how happy iam , just to hear it from you! [02:12] then again - a little common sence goes a LONG way on windows and linux. ;) [02:13] !java [02:13] To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin.

[02:13] biggest danger to a pc - seems to be the users doing stupid stuff these days [02:13] anyone could tell me if any application that allows interact between ubuntu and an android device? [02:14] Playing ONLive games, could be a danger ? [02:14] if you want to be truely paranoid/secure/anonymous - thres those anonymous browser disrtos out there. but i forget the names. check the disrtowatch hhomepage [02:14] ramon: what kind of interaction? [02:14] ramon: #1 thing to get would be 'airdroid' on android [02:14] reisio, data sharing [02:14] ramon: you can set up samba, or ssh on android. :) to get all the data you want. [02:15] yeah, sftp is going to be the simplest [02:15] and bluetooth [02:15] Dr_Willis: I use to play Onlive aplication with wine , could be a danger ? [02:15] plex media server lets you watch your videos on your android [02:15] UrielVigilante: no idea. Never heard of it. [02:15] is there anything where i can use the usb cable connection? [02:15] To play playstation games on old laptops ... [02:16] Plex Is a very nice UPNP/DLNA server setup. theres evena Plex-Pi client, and Plex clienbts for the Rokus that make watching videos a snap. [02:16] ramon: yes, but it's going to be more work, not less [02:16] Streaming video games ... [02:16] ramon: wifi will be faster i find then any usb connection [02:16] reisio i have not other option for now [02:16] UrielVigilante: seen some onlive console ages ago. but i thought the company went under. I dont use it. i doubt if its a security issue [02:17] ramon: what exactly do you want to do? [02:17] Dr_Willis, i have not any wireless device on my computer [02:17] You play games running on their seervers, and and streaming fr you On live.... [02:18] reisio, i want to transfer files back and fore [02:18] ramon: well if you connect it you should be able to mount the filesystems like any external drive [02:18] ramon: but I advise caution, particularly if you want to remove files from the device [02:18] I wouldn't [02:18] ramon: seen wifi routers for $10 ;) not fast. but cheap. I dont use the usb cables any more for data transfers. [02:19] Android is not a very smart OS [02:19] http://games.onlive.com/ [02:19] I have removed photographs from an Android filesystem before and it decided the OS had to be reinstalled as a result [02:19] UrielVigilante: if you are worried about the sevice not being secure. then google for their name and see if theres any security issues with them. [02:20] reisio: thats must have been a neat trick. [02:20] Dr_Willis, send me one over seas and i will really appreciate it...although you also can send me an spare video card which i also need === julianwa_ is now known as julian === julian is now known as juliawa === juliawa is now known as julianwa [02:20] i guess i wait till ubuntu goes mobile [02:21] ramon: time to hit the rummage sales I guess. You can mount android phones as usb devices via cable. so im not sure what you are really asking any more. [02:21] the MTP support can be a little quirky in some ubuntu releases. Its gotten better i hear in 13.04+ [02:22] Dr_Willis: "neat" is one word for it [02:23] we need to get away from touch screens and start moving back towards teminal... preferably teletypes that print to paper [02:23] i thought androind could connect to the PC share internet connection and run applications fron either side [02:23] pfifo: i used to IRC on greenbar printing terminals. [02:23] ramon: i can run vnc on my phone and get to the pc to do things.. or visa versa [02:24] vnc? [02:24] theres numerous desktop-shareing apps out for androiud and pc. that let you get to the phone from the pc.. or visa-versa [02:24] im going to bed [02:24] teamviewer exists for android also i belive [02:24] I have to use layer 2 VPN before I'll remotely control something on my phone [02:24] Dr_Willis, that what i want...you suggest vnc? [02:25] ramon: you are not going to be doing much over wired connection. Its possible. but then the phone is right next to you.. so whats the point. [02:26] Dr_Willis, share the internet connection perhaps [02:26] I used some 'wifi-keyboard' app ages ago on android. I pluged the usb cable into the laptop. and could type on the pc. and the keyboard would enter the texct on the phone. [02:26] ramon: shareing the internet, is differnt then running apps. [02:26] You want to have the pc share the internet to the phone - over usb? that should be possible. but i have no idewa what apps on android to use. ask in #android [02:27] i recall needing to use some 'adb' commands ages ago to do a similer task to that. [02:28] adb? [02:28] android developer tools [02:28] Host OS Xubuntu 13.04 is the LTSP server. 1 wifi card connected to Internet. I have got wlan0 (addr:192.168.1.2) and virbr0 (addr:192.168.122.1). Thin Client Guest OS installed in Virtual Box. Is it possible to have Thin Client boot-up with this LTSP server plz using virbr0? Note I have 1 physical NIC and 1 virtual NIC. [02:29] pentest: you want to boot a real physical client, and have it use the virtual server? [02:30] is there a list of Lenovo notebooks that have full compatibility running Ubuntu? [02:30] In vbox thers a way the virtual machine can appear on the local lan as a real machine (ie: an ip of 192.168.1.X in your case) then the clients on the lan can access it as if it was a real physical machine on the lan. Did that ages ago for some reason i cant rember. ;) [02:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6178029/ how do I enable this job to be restarted by upstart? It won't restart [02:31] James0r3: http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ probably goes a long way [02:33] thanks guys i go read around [02:34] James0r3, Yes its right here http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/make/Lenovo/ [02:35] StarFlower: thanks! [02:35] James0r3, Your welcome [02:39] any body home [02:40] mmm, bodies [02:40] mmm, homes [02:40] i have problem on my ubuntu version 12.04. wifi cannot enable [02:41] reisio can help me [02:41] icedtea, you maybe able to run the following commands [02:42] so what can i do [02:42] make sure the program is running with initctl list [02:42] fuuuuu. i forgot all about xchat and the person who was helping me left. could someone take a look at this? http://pastebin.com/KZ4qRA0f [02:43] Hi there. Is gparted an untrusted software? Whenever i try to install it via terminal, i get message "The following packages cannot be authenticated!" . See this, http://i.imgur.com/bVogUwZ.png [02:43] StarFlower: thats the problem. The program has stopped running but upstart won't restart it [02:43] Should i continue, even if it is unauthenticated? Is it safe? [02:44] and then run start resetmsmice -u [02:44] you can try that [02:44] StarFlower can help [02:44] legend123, You add any additional repos? [02:45] even after a reset? [02:45] legend123, Run sudo apt-get update and pastebin it I bet you are missing a key [02:46] I want to make sure I understand icedtea [02:46] When you restart the computer it starts but then the process stops? [02:49] StarFlower: I am not even sure it ever started to be honest. But whenever I do initctl start resetmsmice it just states: initctl: Unknown job: resetmsmice [02:50] try running start resetmsmice without initctl [02:50] oh wait no I got to tun [02:50] to run [02:50] I had to reload the configuration [02:51] sudo initctl reload-configuration [02:51] weird [02:51] Good thats great [02:51] =) [02:53] hi list. i am having problems with ubuntu server 12.04 running in a proxmox environment. it always hang in "stopping mount network filesystem" upon reboot. any ideas? [02:53] wilee-nilee: Yes, i added some repos related to some deb games and medibuntu some time ago. Here's the pastebin result: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6178076/ [02:53] crap, locked out of my server. anyone know the default fail2ban time for to many bad logins? [02:54] using recovery mode then resume, no problem [02:54] bret: do you only have one server? Are you on dynamic IP? [02:54] keanne: make sure any remote nfs filesystems are mounted with the soft option [02:54] Bret I believe its 3600 seconds [02:54] somsip_, its a virtual machine I rent [02:55] it has 5 static IPs [02:55] icedtea, i dont have any remote fs mounted [02:55] keanne: wierd, not sure than [02:55] weird rather [02:55] bret: no - are you on dynamic IP. If I mess up on F2B I SSH to another server than ssh from that to F2B server and reset it, or reboot my ADSL modem to get a different IP [02:55] StarFlower, thanks I guess ill figure out something else to do for the next hour. Stupid overactive SFTP client [02:56] someio_ thats a good idea [02:57] legend123, medibuntu is eol however run this command to load the missing key and a update and try the gparted install again. sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys A8A515F046D7E7CF [02:58] legend123, It may have no key, buts lets see. [02:58] strangely enough keanne i found some evidence that it may be connected to gdm [02:58] one user reported reinstalling gdm helped him [02:59] wilee-nilee: Thanks. That solved my problem [02:59] legend123, Cool, always load the key to extra repos is all, ams be careful in general is all. ;) [02:59] and* [03:02] Greetings. === bocaneri is now known as Sauvin [03:02] Hi Kalel [03:03] keanne, you can read through this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2058251 [03:03] might help [03:04] StarFlower, thanks! [03:04] Your welcome [03:04] Did you fix it? [03:05] I have a problem. Later my system had upgraded, my 3g device hasn`t recoginazed anymore. So, I did the downgraded for the 12.04 lts version, 9.4 or something. Now, nothing is showing and I have not internet on my ubuntu. I should I do now? [03:05] No. [03:06] When I try connect, I see an error? could not find nm-conection... === Wug[Hyperspace] is now known as Wug [03:06] is there anyone use intel hd graphic 3000 vga card ?? [03:06] which 3g device do you have? [03:07] Kalel: so what ubuntu release were you using befor? you did a 'normal upgrade to update to the latest packag3es' and things broke? You then 'reinstalled 12.04 lts' ? [03:07] Alright people, I've got a complicated question to a complicated problem, caused by my general ignorance and stupidity about some things Linux, and could use some help [03:07] I just installed 13.04 in a VM to give it a test, and whoa, what the heck is that mess of a default desktop? How do I get back a sensible UI, instead of that candyland thing that is installed by default? [03:08] Renzatic__, what is your problem? [03:08] It is a file. Maybe I should download nm-applet again? [03:08] nm-applet and Network-manager together? [03:08] setuid: unity has been the default desktop for several releases now. Install a differnt desktop if you want. I use lubuntu or xubuntu on my vm's [03:08] setuid, you can install an extension from extensions.gnome.org [03:08] yes... try find in update center [03:08] to give you the digest version, I did...something to my sound system, and I need to know how to wipe ALSA and Pulseaudio and reset it to default [03:09] unity? Ok, I'll make sure I put a hold on that, so it's never installed here. What a nightmare. [03:09] I could go through exactly what I did, but it'd take forever to describe. Might as well jump to the core issue [03:09] Renzatic__: sudo apt-get purge packagename , then reinstall them (or reinstall the ubuntu-desktop package) [03:09] setuid, you dont have to do that [03:09] You can use gnome 3 if you want [03:09] or any of the other window managers [03:09] That's actually no better [03:09] unity is only the defualt [03:09] setuid: nightmare? please dont ramnble. Theres dozens of desktops you can use [03:09] I'll fire up sawfish/xfce4 [03:09] !unity [03:09] Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity [03:10] !notunity [03:10] Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. [03:10] 3 years now - unity has been the default. [03:10] this is something I can do in Synaptics, right? Find anything relating to alsa or pulse, uninstall it, reboot, then reinstall it? [03:10] Renzatic__, yes [03:10] setuid, you can use kde or xfce in ubuntu [03:10] Renzatic__: may be better to use/learn the command line way. in case things break worse. [03:10] you dont have to install a different distro but you can if you want [03:10] Renzatic__: and it may be a good idea to backup imporntant stuff ;) just in case [03:11] I'm getting better with it, but synaptics helps when I don't know exact package names [03:11] !info xubuntu-desktop [03:11] xubuntu-desktop (source: xubuntu-meta): Xubuntu desktop system.

I'll be back soon if I've got more questions, thanks [03:12] What's lubuntu, as opposed to xubuntu or kubuntu? [03:12] !lubuntu [03:12] lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight.

I lost my connection later I had made my question to you. [03:16] [03:10] No, Dr_Willis. I am using 13.04, and yes, the latest default upgrade, normal. I did not any modification in the packages. Anyway, later the upgrade, my modem was not detected. [03:17] Kalel: so 13.04 worked. then a system upgrade broke the 3g. did you try the older kernels befor you just decided to reinstll? [03:19] Yes. When I boot with 3.19, my hardware comes in Low Graphic Mode adn the issue persist. [03:19] Dr_Willis: Is this plausible? http://askubuntu.com/questions/159812/network-manager-indicator-missing [03:19] video issue? i thouight you had a 3g modem issue? [03:20] Dr_Willis: I am chating from the Live CD, 12.04 lts. Can I make something from here? Rather.. [03:20] Kalel: make somthing? You mean try to 'fix' somthing? SO is this a 3g modem issue? or a video issue? or the system just sort of blew up issue? [03:21] Dr_Willis: Is that so. Just attemping the another one. Isnt the actual I am interesting to fix.. [03:21] o.O [03:21] wylde: 0_o is correct. [03:22] Dr_Willis: 3g. Could I extract a file from the Live CD and change for the current broked system? [03:23] Dr_Willis: Did you had a look in the link? If I include nm-applet in Startup my problem can be sold? [03:24] Kalel: you could test that by just trying it.. [03:25] Ihave to restart my computer so.. [03:25] Anyway. i`ll still searchig `till I find something. Thank you.

[03:26] notifications as in a program crash or the system crashes? [03:26] program crashes [03:26] n0t50h4ppy, No i would think not [03:26] but stuff really isn't crashing, and i wouldn't want to report it anyway, so i could disable the whole thing and be happy [03:26] I'm having issues implementing ubuntu with Active Directory anyone have some experience with this? [03:26] Ben64: askubuntu.com has sevarl ways you can diable the apport tool to disable those reports [03:27] yeah i tried some of those and no luck so far [03:27] Why?

More for testing the beta stuff. [03:27] doesn't mess with ubuntu-desktop or anything i care about [03:27] Ben64, i wouldnt delete it [03:27] just disable it [03:28] I recall the apport wiki page/guides mention how its not used much. ;)( [03:28] How do i make it NSA-proof? [03:28] may help you in the future to debug a problem [03:28] n0t50h4ppy: leave the pc turned off? [03:28] But.. But.. How do i fap then? [03:28] I tried using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADWin2k8KerberosLDAP but, after I get a kerberos ticket I'm unable to getent passwd [03:30] What means with FAP THEN ? [03:30] syslog complains about failing to bind to the LDAP server because of invalid credentials. Anyone how exactly I setup my Windows AD account incorrectly for LDAP to communicate with it? [03:30] Kalel: ignore the trolls. [03:30] unity crashes when i use alt+tab any idea why? [03:32] Good night fellas..

[03:32] do you have multiple monitors [03:33] is there a limit, such that if I have 4 kernels including the new one, then the oldest gets deleted? [03:33] dumont: they dont get auto removed as far as i know. Ive seen askubuntu.com have some scripts, that can check and auto remove older ones. [03:34] ok, so they don't get auto removed [03:34] good [03:34] thanks [03:34] How do I check the linux kernel version on my super computer? === Wug[Hyperspace] is now known as Wug [03:34] !version [03:34] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [03:34] uname -r [03:35] sorry thats for the kernel version [03:35] lol [03:36] Thank u starflower that's exactly what I wanted to know [03:36] Ponch0, your welcome [03:37] I need like a wallpaper of commands or something, i've used this 20 times and i'm still confused [03:38] here you go [03:38] http://security.crudtastic.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/linux-command-wallpaper.png [03:39] lol, starflower: you're a star today [03:39] Ponch0, =) [03:39] omg that's perfect [03:40] Can anyone help me geting /etc/nslcd.conf to work with windows ad? [03:43] guys, serious question, is there supposed to be a menu on transmission? [03:43] its up in the top i think [03:43] but other than that? [03:43] of the screen not the program [03:44] I dont think so, theres a preferences but other than that [03:44] I can only see the title [03:45] you should have open start pause stop | properties [03:45] under the title [03:45] Anyone know a good paid support site for ubuntu system admins? [03:45] to be an admin for, or looking for support from [03:46] hi, what is the right program to map Control+c+c to a different key combination, e.g. Altgr+L ? I tried xvkbd, but as it can send ctrl+c, the latter c is sent separately, (as if ctrl was released before), and I need the two "c" to be sent when the ctrl is pressed [03:46] looking for support from [03:46] wouldent that be ctrl-c ctrl-c then? [03:46] shotoflove: the may have a better idea on that topic in #ubuntu-server [03:46] http://www.ubuntu.com/management/ubuntu-advantage [03:46] no no, ctrl+c+c Dr_Willis [03:46] they* [03:47] paco123: that just dosent make sence to me. either the 2nd c has ctrl , or it dosent. [03:47] ranges from 105-165 USD per year [03:47] ctrl (pressed down) + c + c (ctrl is released) Dr_Willis [03:47] for desktop and server is different [03:47] 320-1200 [03:48] paco123: perhaps tell the channel what/why you are trying to do this. because somthing is not making sence here. === vincent is now known as Guest99114 === Jan11 is now known as ON1 [03:50] it's a complicated scenario Dr_Willis, it has to do with a shortcut to call goldendict program (ctrl+c+c), I've been able to accomplish it using xdotool, ($xdotool ctrl+c+c) but for some reason sometimes it works, and sometimes it is pressed repeatedly [03:52] http://askubuntu.com/questions/24916/how-do-i-remap-certain-keys may help [03:54] to replace adobe flash with gnash I should first uninstall flash and then install gnash, yes? is it okay to disable adobe flash in firefox's plugins settings or should I completely uninstall? [03:54] yes StarFlower, I'm aware of this post, it helped me, but it doesn't say anything about ctrl (pressed down) c + c (ctrl released). It doesn't seem to be possible with xvkbd, but possibly it is because of my ignorance, that's why I'm asking here [03:57] well besides changing programs Im not sure [03:58] also tried autokey-gtk... but although it works, it doesn't work for such a combination either [03:58] no xdotool guru here? [03:59] let me do some research and brb [04:00] °·d(¬_¬)b·° [04:00] hello [04:00] I've been hours with this... thanks StarFlower === james_ is now known as Guest17212 [04:01] your welcome give me just a minute and I'll see if i can help you [04:02] hello anybody have a finger scanner i have a hp envy dv7 i want to get it running on ubuntu 13.04 [04:03] Ari-Yang, I had poor results with Gnash. What is your intention? [04:03] does anyone know why using the cat command on a regular file does not update the access time stamp? [04:03] I just wanted to test it out is all, if I don't like it, I'll go back to using flash [04:04] Guest17212: Don't know if this is helpfull (don't have a finger scanner) http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/03/how-to-get-your-fingerprint-reader-working-in-ubuntu [04:04] !gnash [04:04] Gnash is an open-source Flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ [04:05] Ari-Yang, okay I think I uninstalled flash first/ then installed gnash. [04:05] okay, I'll do that [04:06] One other option is to use Minitube for Youtube. I don't believe flash is used. I"m experimenting with that. [04:06] Paulus68_1: hi mate [04:08] paco123, well I played with it and got the same results on my computer sometimes it does it right sometimes it repeats [04:08] unfortunately not sure how to fix that [04:08] gulag2013, I removed adobe flash plugin and installed gnash but youtube is telling me to install adobe... [04:08] but at least its not you [04:09] ignore that. It will say that no matter what your replacement is. [04:09] so I guess I'll keep reading tfm and trying StarFlower [04:09] Ari-Yang, enable html5 http://www.youtube.com/html5 [04:09] guys how do i make fonts bigger on this xchat? [04:10] gulag2013, these are the packages that were installed after running apt-get install browser-plugin-gnash http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=vMhg34Q0 [04:10] Guest17212: preferences [04:10] StarFlower, by enabling html5 yt videos will play? [04:10] they should [04:10] Guest17212, you should ask that in #xchat channel [04:10] SETTINGS ~~> preferences~~~> appearrances then "main font" [04:10] Gnash works fine with youtube [04:10] StarFlower, why must this be done? it's required for youtube? [04:11] No its not required there are other ways to get it working and for some people it works by default, but for others it might be a good thing to try [04:11] it just avoids using flash and instead uses html5 [04:11] so using html5 means it will be using gnash? [04:12] no it uses something else [04:12] but I wanted to try using gnash... [04:12] Ok [04:13] Ari-Yang, There are html5 plugins for Firefox and Chrome. It's been a long time sense I messed with Gnash. I think I had to launch the Gnash and tweak it. [04:13] Ari-Yang, install gnash and remove flashplugin [04:13] paco123, I did... I uninstalled flash plugin then installed gnash [04:13] should I install this too? mozilla-plugin-gnash - dummy package for renaming to browser-plugin-gnash ? [04:14] yes, go on [04:14] paco123, these are installed http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=vMhg34Q0 [04:14] Good points the plugins need to be disabled for Adobe don't they? [04:14] okay, installing mozilla-plugin-gnash... [04:14] yes, that's the missing one, then restart mozilla firefox and go to youtube.com Ari-Yang [04:15] Guest17212, right click settings-preferences-appearance [04:16] paco123, just did, and it still isn't working :s and there is no gnash plugin in firefox's plugins... [04:16] my ubuntu startup in proxmox problem still persist. here is a screenshot, if anyone have other ideas its highly appreciated http://postimg.org/image/t4iesbzyd/ [04:17] wait [04:17] did you restart firefox Ari-Yang ? [04:17] http://gyazo.com/4e09c089efa11f86d4373575240e3e64 paco123 is that shockwave suppose to be gnash? [04:17] and yes I did restart firefox... [04:17] derp [04:17] it is [04:17] yes, that's the one [04:17] haha I derped [04:18] keanne, it might be better if you retell whats wrong so we can start helping again [04:18] how is the default name of the package that created usb startup disks on ubuntu? [04:19] thanks guys~ [04:19] StarFlower, ubuntu running on proxmox (kvm) hangs after the fsck boot sequence [04:21] StarFlower, see the screenshot that ive posted. after the fsck sequence it just hangs.

Not like that other o/s [04:24] rodicio, and those are security updates, whatever those are for those updates are meant to protect you [04:25] You guys remember all the garbage HP installs on a Windows box?

[06:29] if i try to run sudo apt-get install nvidia-current it says i already have the newest installed [06:29] but the proprietary drivers list is empty [06:30] and if i run sudo modprobe nvidia_current FATAL: Module nvidia_current not found. i get this [06:37] kent__: vnc, or ssh and x forwarding depending on the details [06:38] kent__: you start a vncserver session on pc1. connect to it with pc2 you 'see' the vnc desktop in the vnc client on pc2. you do whatever you want, if you close the client. the vncserver stays running. and you can reconnect later - the app is NOT seen at all on pc1. OR you could just share pc1's desktop [06:38] Dr_Willis, vnc server sounds perfect. thanks! := [06:38] :) [06:39] kent__: thers also freenx, and other methods that use vnc in one way or another. [06:39] thanks [06:39] ssh and x forwarding is a simple way to run an app on PC1 and 'see' it on pc2 - but if the connection dies. the app closes [06:41] which one is most light on resource? I meen, differs it alot? [06:41] Dr_Willis_, ^^ === ubuntu is now known as Guest33362 [06:42] what exactly is this [06:45] kent__: depends onwhat you run in it. vnc is running a whole desktop or window manager + apps. ssh would be just running the app. [06:47] Dr_Willis_, the server that will run the application, is somewhat old, and only have 4gb memory. well.. nevermind, I will try them both.. [06:48] with vnc you will most likley want to run a simple window manager + the apps. like jwm. keep it as light as possible [06:51] hi all i have switch on my ubuntu pc on today morning,it booted normaly but when the login screen prompted the keyboard and mouse are freezed,not working,but at the bootmode selection screen there is no problem with that, can you tell me what is that issues [06:56] Hello fellow citizens, I'm wondering how I could get something that looks just like this citizen has set up on desktop for cpu info [06:56] http://vindsl.com/images/vindsl-desktop-28-apr-2013-1.png [06:57] I'm glad everyone today is doing their work as responsible citizens. [06:58] Ponch0: you do that with conky [06:58] maybe the author of that has a .conkyrc file available somewhere, but there are no guarantees [06:58] in this case you'll have to redo it the best you can [06:58] Hi, I'm wondering if I'm in the right place. I'm having trouble mounting a DVD that I can physically see has Data on it, but the computer insists is blank [06:58] and the cpu info comes from gnome-system-monitor [06:59] Audica: probably, if you're using (K/X/L)/Ubuntu [06:59] I'm trying to recover some pictures off of it, it's an old backup. [06:59] Calinou: and gnome system monitor is layed out like that on the desktop? [06:59] Calinou, I am. [07:00] ? [07:01] Hm, what can I google to get this sort of set up? I'm not even sure.. [07:01] I've tried OSX, Windows 7, and Amiga4 to check this, they all claim the disc is blank, it's a series of backups, others in the series don't even register as anything being in the machine, though I can hear it whirring. I threw in a Ted DVD just as a control test, and it works fine. [07:01] to look on how to set it up that is [07:03] Every google search I've tried is really just full of people new to computing asking what to do with a blank CD and iTunes... [07:04] Audica, if its not working on different operatingsystems, and perhaps even different dvd-readers, then its probably correct to assume the disc is blank/or just not readable [07:04] just look at the back of it, u can physically see if something is written to the cd/dvd [07:04] Hi can anyone tell me what the .gvfs folder is for? I can't seem to back it up [07:04] hello, === rh1n0 is now known as rh1n0|away [07:05] how to change ubuntu mouse to black color? [07:05] hellow wh-hw [07:05] and i installed gnome 3 [07:05] i want make ubuntu looks like fedora [07:06] Audica, any idea? [07:06] wh-hw: go to tweak-tool---- go to themes---- hit the slider that says "enable dark theme for applications" [07:06] Hi! I have added ppa:ondrej/php5 PPA to get PHP5.5, then I have run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, but still have PHP5.3. When I run upgrade, I got message like this: The following packages have been kept back: libjson0 libjson0:i386 php-pear php5-cli php5-common php5-curl php5-dev php5-fpm php5-intl php5-mcrypt php5-mysql. What does kept back mean and how do I get PHP5.5? === alex__ is now known as alex116 [07:07] !ppa | lng [07:07] lng: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [07:08] Wh-hw, if you're looking for an overall fedora theme, you're probably better off going to system, preferences, appearances, and it should pull up the list of installed themes initially, where you can click "get more themes online" [07:08] i always seem to find problems with 'dark' themes. theres always somthing on some app. (normally firefox) that comes out impossible to read. [07:08] somsip: your response is not helpful [07:08] I'd search that repository for more themes, and i'm sure there's some sort of fedora mimicking theme. [07:08] The webupd8 and omgubuntu sites - tend to have posts about the better themes out there. [07:09] lng: It's simply that PPAs are not supported here. You need to get support from the PPA maintainer [07:09] lng: try an sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ? [07:09] Dr_Willis, Firefox struggles with themes in other OS's too, it happens when websites have CSS templates dictating their webpage theme. [07:09] Dr_Willis: but why do I do that? [07:09] Dr_Willis: the ondrej PHP PPA throws up a few side issues. It can be a tricky one [07:09] kept back means - the system has decided the packages are impornatant so are locked down. [07:10] Does anyone know where to look for information about Data Recovery for Optical Media? [07:10] These damn discs keep coming up blank and I know they're not. [07:10] there should be articals at askubuntu.com and other sites on why packaghes get 'held' [07:10] Dr_Willis: I see [07:10] Audica: ive had dvd/cd drives get missaligned where they cant read some disks from other drives. [07:10] Pancakez, i just want mouse to dark [07:11] Audica: try to dd one disk to an image file so you can examine it in detail perhaps in a safe fashion [07:11] Dr_Willis, can I do that to a disk that shows up as blank? [07:11] Dr_Willis: Thanks for your help! I got what I needed. [07:11] Audica: you can normally use dd on any disk to make an image. ;) [07:12] Hmm. I'ma give it a try thanks Dr. [07:12] brb. [07:12] even dvd video disks. ;) but that has gotten trickier in the last year or 2 [07:14] any other easy way ? [07:15] Dr_Willis, I tried that, and it generated a 4.1kb iso, which had nothing on it. Unreadable in OSX, blank in Linux. [07:16] I also went to my media folder to see what was mounted, and under CD rom it says there were 0 items, and 1.2 gb of free psace, when I look at the DVD, it looks a little bit more than 3/4 full, so I'm guessing what it's catching there is the free space. [07:17] lol wh-hw, linux is not the OS to use if you're looking to do everything the easy way. learn to do things the linux way, it's fun! [07:18] How do I convert m4v to mp4 in UBUNTU, GUI's preferred. [07:18] Hello? [07:19] Orca, these things tend to take a few minutes, a lot of us have to dig for some answers. [07:19] orca_, don't be scared. ffmpeg command: ffmpeg -i input.m4v output.mp4 [07:19] Do you have ffmpeg? [07:19] I think it comes preloaded. [07:19] mk, try the code Cfhowlett suggested [07:19] orca_: plenty of application's in the software centre [07:20] orca_, apt-cache policy ffmpeg will tell you if it's installed [07:20] another option is ffmpeg -i file1.m4v - target ntsc-dvd file2.mpg [07:20] If I use ffmpeg where does it save? [07:20] same folder? [07:21] Orca, use directories in your code, but typically yes same folder [07:21] But if it damages it...nevermind, i should create backups right? [07:21] ex. /Desktop/file1.mv4 -target ntsc-dvd /video/file2.mpg [07:21] You should always create a backup when it comes to computers. [07:22] orca_, originall will only be read ... not damaged [07:22] Speaking of which, Dr_willis, any ideas? [07:22] Orca, Cfhowlett is right, but on the off chance this video is huge and this takes a long time and somehow crashes something, you're better off having a backup than not having one [07:23] The video is 8-12 GB [07:23] Jesus, personally for files that big i'd find a mac and use final cut :p [07:24] I have a pentium 4 with 2gb of ram. That would take a while... am I right? [07:24] 12 GB! not sure I want to know what that is. but unless you've got major ram, it's going to take a LONG time. [07:24] orca_, 2 gigs? 12 gig input? that's an overnight job at best [07:24] Well, that's only one of them [07:24] I have 60 of these. [07:25] Orca, i'd chop that down into segs and re-render them. where are you getting these videos? [07:25] orca_, there used to be an online video editing cloud community. I imagine transcoding something like this would be right up their alley [07:26] Audica, I'm just trying to format these mv4 to mp4 for compatibility on my LG LED TV [07:27] orca_, long term project ... [07:27] Because, hauling my entire computer to the TV is a pain, but, by the sound of this... I would be far more easy. [07:28] orca_, probably indeed. [07:28] Thanks for the info everybody. I'm out. Peace [07:28] orca_, best of luck [07:29] https://ssh.serverdo.in/ - this is safe to use?

[07:52] sure mate.. [07:52] I cannot boot up my LTSP thin client [07:52] what to do.. [07:52] askaway I will answer [07:53] you are trying to boot a thin client in vbox, from the server that vbox is running on? sort of as a test case? [07:54] yes kind of.. [07:54] basically LTSP server in the host os.. [07:55] Thinkclient is in virtual box. [07:55] I have got only 1 nic [07:55] ther some reason you dont have the vbox client on the 192.168.1.* range of ips? [07:55] which is wlan0 and connected to internet [07:55] then it would think its on the same main lan as server. [07:56] that way it would better similate other thing clients on the lan as well. [07:56] simulate [07:56] well when I boot up my comp I see there is virbr0 [07:56] here is ifconfig [07:56] virbr0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 26:b1:c6:fe:2a:8e [07:56] inet addr:192.168.122.1 Bcast:192.168.122.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 [07:56] Ok to upload theme to conky it seems to be looking for a .cmtp.7z file but alot of the themes are either just .7z or .zip, how do I upload the theme into conky? [07:57] I edited /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf [07:57] whois/ ponch0 [07:57] and in vbox it says its ip is 192.168.122.1 - YOU can set vbox wher its network mode is some other type (in the vbox settings) and its ip would be 192.168.1.* then - same as any other machine on the lan [07:57] Ponch0: extract them to some ConkyConfig Dir of your chooseing, then tell conky to use them via the cli [07:57] sure.. you can.. but then there will be the conflict.. [07:58] Dr_Williz_ thank you. [07:58] router will give out ip so is the LTSP server dhcp.. in the same network [07:58] Ponch0: thers a neat tool called 'conky manager' at either webupd8 or omgubuntu, that can make conky setup a lot easier === Marlenee_b is now known as Marlenee [07:58] I'm using it :D, still doesn't see the other extensions. [07:59] Ponch0: what extensions? conky dosent use archives.

Thank you [08:04] Ponch0: iv e never heard of a .cmtp extension. 7z is a common arvhive format [08:04] unless they are for conky-manager or somthing ive not noticed befor [08:05] just use the default themes that come with conky manager, and a huge theme pack from its homepage that just extracts to your home directory === soul is now known as Guest92241 [08:08] Conky is the kind of thing you can spend weeks playing with.. [08:08] and realize that its sort of pointless. because its always covered up by your othjer windows. ;p [08:08] Yup exactly for conky manager [08:09] lol it is pointless you're right, but it's new to me so i'll be messing with haha [08:10] conky manager - had a menu item to Import themes i think. [08:10] Yes but it will only import .cmtp.7z :/ lol [08:10] I guess it's a new thing for them maybe since they had the recent release of 1.2? [08:11] all i did for conly manager was get a HUGE theme pack from their forums/download pag that included like all themes , it just exttracted to your home [08:11] Conky manager ONLY handle specially made conky manager themes [08:12] Ok if u extracted then, that tells me that they changed a few things [08:13] this might have just been a special all-in-one-jumbo pack [08:14] Dr_Willis_ : you're awesome I figured it out [08:14] oh? :) [08:15] setting up conky manager on my netbook right now. [08:15] thanks to you, so thank you [08:15] I liked the metro theme. but it was differnt on one pc i had. then the other pc. not sure wht the deal was with it.

For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..."

[08:39] from my terminal, I'd like to save it to a text file or something. it's for my college class on computer security :) [08:39] Nicky: "cmd >mylogfile" [08:39] its just info that ran in terminal for 154 hours [08:39] 14* [08:40] ok ill try that but i think it told me "cmd" command was no good let me try [08:40] Nicky: "cmd" is the program you run [08:40] oh yes i already have terminal open the cmd program is open already [08:40] im using ubuntu [08:41] i ran a program for 14 hours today and i need to save the log file [08:41] it was recording data in terminal all day its pretty useless data but i would like to save it regardless [08:42] i was supposed to type log when i ran the command 14 hours ago but i was hoping that even though i didnt i could still save the log [08:42] unless you redirect the output it usually isnt saved anywhere but the terminal buffer [08:42] cfhowlett: i think dell won't supported ubuntu anymore :-) [08:42] http://linux.dell.com/dru/install-gui.sh [08:43] terminal buffer ?

[08:45] fishcooker, context and details for those who aren't tracking your thread? [08:45] Nicky: the output on the terminal (when you scroll back) has a size limit [08:45] yes i see that when i was doing some checking earlier [08:45] Nicky: history might help, but not indefinitely [08:46] Nicky: scroll back in terminal, mark content with the mouse, paste it into a file [08:46] how can i see the history [08:46] Nicky: type "history" [08:46] ok thank u [08:46] and man history [08:46] history saves commands, not output of those [08:46] i knew a guy named lutz once. we played a game called knight online together [08:46] probably a common name [08:47] darn thats not going to be what i need either llutz [08:47] hi [08:47] llutz: hence "might" [08:47] serapath, greetings [08:48] can someone tell me how to add script execution to: startup, reboot, wakeup, sleep, hibernate and other events? so that they run right before or in case of "startup/bootup/resume" stuff, after they have occured? [08:48] Nicky: the 'script' command can save commands, and all command output to a file - somthing to rember for the future [08:48] maybe some kind of template that support to add scripts to all of those events and where to place it [08:49] script hm [08:49] serapath: i imagine theres not going to be a simple straight anser. because all those cases can depend on things. ;) and what commands you are doing. [08:49] i will try that that sounds exactly what i need [08:49] Nicky: and i recall some site/page/way to make sort of a console 'movie' of the scripts output (the typescript log) ;) [08:50] good for example/tutorials. [08:50] and a LOT smaller then desktop recordings. [08:50] Nicky: okay [08:50] i ran script but it only saved a blank file [08:50] i guess i cant save everything that ran today, huh? [08:50] you do it BEFOR your commands.. and it records everything into a file named typescript [08:50] Dr_Willis: i just want to start some daemons which are deactivated for some reason and not restartet when i power up or resume the system. i dont want to start them manually each time [08:51] Nicky: unless you can go back in timne.. No. [08:51] Nicky: it will add all commands and their output you issue _from now_ [08:51] :) [08:51] im glad i didnt search all night for an answer to this [08:51] u guys told me i cant do it thats good enough for me [08:51] serapath: id check askubuntu.com - i recall there being some process thts ran on a suspend/resume. but i never use suspend ;) [08:51] and here i thought it must surely be possible [08:52] 'the system records everything i ever done in entiretly' :) by default? err.. no [08:52] ill just run the thing again tomorrow with the log command [08:52] Nicky: there is no way [08:52] just a bash history. by default.

[09:46] serapath: You could suspend and resume [09:46] What is the difference between "halt" and "shutdown -h now" [09:46] because i'm using koding.com and it has a vm i could use through the browser. i assume it gets suspended after about 20 minutes of being idle [09:46] currently i'm waiting that this happens [09:47] serapath: Don't assume that [09:47] serapath: It's probably the entire virtual machine is put into a suspended state mode, which wouldn't be visible to the operating system, so you can't script it [09:47] ok, is there a way to do something then? [09:48] serapath: Install your own Ubuntu VM :) [09:48] because when i return to koding.com, my dropbox service and my nodejs server are stopped and i have to manually start them again [09:48] roochy: read "man halt" [09:49] if the VM is put into a suspended state mode, that shouldnt happen, right? [09:49] or at least they should be still running when i return to koding.com [09:49] serapath: Well, suspend it yourself or wait for it to suspend [09:49] its a bit cumbersome to always start all that stuff manually [09:49] how can i suspend it myself?

[10:27] Aztec|: I wouldn't necessarily assume that you can do that inside the OpenVZ container. See https://bugzilla.openvz.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1677 for a relevant bug report. You should consider OpenVZ to be old and deprecated technology. I would use a reasonable hoster if you require these features. [10:27] is that apt-get will try downloading depenecies as it sees them missing [10:27] bugzilla.openvz.org bug 1677 in kernel "libnetfilter_queue gets "connection refused"" [Normal,New] [10:28] ruef:recived [10:28] deployment, when you are using apt-get - main idea behind apt-get was that it weould take care of dependencies and download them [10:28] Rory, backport 12.04 for more recent updates in say 13.04. the proccessor on here won't take the 13.04 kernal. its an old laptop [10:28] when using dpkg if there are missing dependencies you will have a problem [10:28] angie_: "won't take" - why not? What do you mean? What happens when you try? [10:28] Aztec|: As you can tell by the reaction of the OpenVZ community to this bug report a patch/fix is probably not forthcoming anytime soon. [10:29] angie_: no, it's not a good idea. Use backports from the -backports if you must, but don't mix and match repositories and packages from different releases [10:29] that's the road to dependency hell and broken systems [10:32] Myrtti, I was thinking about backporting the updates from 13.04 since this laptop will only take 12.04. but if it would screw it up then I won't. 13.04's kernal won't work on this toshiba tecra laptop. its old. Thankfully 12.04 works [10:33] sorry i'm late [10:33] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6179059/ [10:33] angie_: you're better off with 12.04 on older systems that need to work anyway - if you want to try 13.04 with a bit different setup (depending on how it breaks for you) you could always try lubuntu or xubuntu [10:34] angie_, I'm on lubuntu. as light as it gets in my opinion.

I just look after some systems [11:07] can I use it for 12.04 LTS too [11:07] ArielX_: I'm going to say yes [11:08] ArielX_: But only because I'm about 90% sure it will work [11:08] ok ty working .. just you say yes I'm ok [11:08] ArielX_: The point is though, if it doesn't work it's no big deal, so you might as well try [11:08] lol [11:08] afraid [11:08] That looks really nice actually, I might use it at home [11:09] ArielX_: You're not going to irreversably break your system by installing a theme [11:09] ArielX_: Anyway that's what we're here for [11:09] Install Mac OS X Theme on Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail/12.10/12.04/Linux Mint 15/14/13 [11:09] I think it will work though [11:12] is there an backup package recommended for ubuntu servers? [11:12] how do you define code in a message? such as "sudo apt-get update" [11:18] archyme: What do you mean, could you rephrase that?

(Control socket is not connected.) Please check your control port authentication settings. on ubuntu [11:32] hi guys, ubuntu is running dnsmasq by default? where can i find the config? [11:34] hi archyme [11:34] axselemos, no. you will have to install it, then you will have /etc/dnsmasq.conf [11:34] hello [11:35] yeah, but when i installed it it says a dnsmasq is running already [11:36] an open 53 is already there and its dnsmasq... tried configuring /etc/dnsmasq.conf and tried restarting it says port 53 is already taken [11:36] in used.. [11:37] and also /etc/hosts is only using nameserver 127.0.0.1 so it means there's already a running dnsserver or forward.. [11:37] --- [11:37] 12.04 now runs dnsmasq, a compact DNS server. The reasoning for this, according to the developers, is to handle situations where your machine has multiple network interfaces with different DNS servers. This can pose problems for people using virtual private networks (VPNs) and in other so-called "multi-homed" contexts. (Personally, I think this approach is overkill since the proportion of users facing this problem is pretty small.) [11:38] also found this somewhere.. [11:46] ???

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [11:50] Hello everybody. I want to configure 2 VLANS between 2 ubuntu routers. The purpose is to balance between 2 internet connections which are delivered in a big distance between one another. I want one of the routers to be the gateway and to use one of the VLANS to deliver the distant internet "line" to it. My question is (provided that you agree that this scenario is adequate) will it work if I use a cupple of cheap, non-layer 3 aware switches as a trunk [11:50] line between the two routers? [11:53] is is possible to use < or > in case statements for bash? e.g case $x in [11:53] >1) [11:56] !details | maximus2 [11:56] maximus2: Please give us full details.

[12:07] When I boot my PC, firefox takes about 17 seconds to open, and about 4 more seconds to be usable (as the home page is still blank). Is this normal? [12:07] help me any one ............... ForbiddenYou don't have permission to access / on this server. [12:07] Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) Server at 192.168.1.8 Port 80 [12:08] minas: no [12:08] Gentoo64, what might be the cause? [12:08] minas: Does it occur on another user? Such as the guest user? [12:08] Rory, didn't try to be honest [12:08] minas: That's why I was asking, I was prompting you to try now :) [12:08] minas: might be the firefox profile, try renaming it [12:08] geirha: is it better to use <,>,=,!= and so on or -gt, -lt, -eq, -ne ? [12:09] Does anyone here have any tips on what GPU I should get for a laptop to play new games, not necessarily with good graphics. It should be easy to install the drivers (having problems with Optimus now), and don't know how nVidia and ATI will evolve, or how well Iris Pro do on games :/ [12:09] minas mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozillabackup [12:09] then try it [12:09] Gentoo64, ok [12:09] minas: Or try another user if you have one; same result [12:10] Rory, i will make one in a bit cause I can't restart now :) thanks for the help gusy [12:10] guys [12:10] minas: You don't need to restart [12:10] minas: You can switch users with the menu in the top-right corner without logging out of your current user [12:10] Rory, but I don't, won't firefox be in RAM? [12:11] minas: It'll help me know if the problem is with your profile or not [12:11] yenal: In #bash we recommend using (( )) to test numbers, and [[ to tests strings and files. And in ((, the operators are < and > etc, -gt -lt etc are not valid there. [12:11] ah okay thank you [12:12] yenal: In [[, both > and -gt are valid operators, but they do different things. > compares strings lexicographically (ala strcmp in C), while -gt compares integers [12:12] minas, it's always been that way or is it a recent change?

Like it did before Optimus, or like it does with Intel. [12:15] cfhowlett, Rory, I don't remember exactly, but it's been quite some time. Ok I logged in from guest account and firefox opened in <2 seconds [12:15] minas: its probably the extensions, or some of the profile is messed up [12:16] minas: OK so the problem is somewhere in your firefox profile. Try removing addons you don't use, and press ctrl+shift+delete in Firefox to delete your browsing history and other stuff [12:16] lagerpc: got bumblebee installed ? [12:17] Gentoo64, well, I use xmarks, adblock plus, easy youtube downloader, html5 pdf viewer (and some more which where pre-installed by ubuntu) [12:17] yenal: Yes, though note that ${x[*]} expands into a string, and you don't need $ in front of variables in (( [12:17] minas: Then yes it is normal for Firefox to take that long to start [12:17] BluesKaj: I had on Ubuntu 13.04. Started applications with optirun, but didn't work on games like GW2 or through Steam. [12:17] minas: try removing the ectension 1 by1 and see what one slows it down [12:17] minas, or, if you've set up autoupdate, your traffic was clogged. [12:18] ok nm , too many restrictions , lagerpc , perhaps someone else can help [12:18] BluesKaj: But it did work when I testet with and without with the glxsphere in the terminal. [12:18] cfhowlett, I haven't. is that a plugin too? [12:19] minas, no that would be an Ubuntu system setting. [12:19] BluesKaj: Well, I am more looking for a PC without Optimus, that has good drivers, and work with newer games. Sad that it has to be this much troubles just to install a driver :/ [12:19] cfhowlett, Oh, I don't think I have. Ok I will try remove one at a time [12:20] lagerpc: well that's your call === resmi is now known as resmir [12:20] BluesKaj: What do you mean? [12:20] lagerpc: I have a PC that meets your description, and I've always just installed the driver from the driver tool without issue. So it's not universal, it's just Optimus [12:21] lagerpc: your decision [12:21] Rory: But the drivers does not show in the driver tool. It just say it is no drivers needed. [12:22] lagerpc: Yes but you said "I am... looking for a PC... that has good drivers... this much trouble just to install a driver" [12:23] lagerpc: And I'm demonstrating that what you're implying (driver installion on Ubuntu is impossibly difficult) is plain wrong [12:25] Rory: It is not impossible, but it is way harder than it was before Optimus came. On 13.04 I tried with bumblebee, but didn't seems to get it to work playing games through another client for some reason. On 13.10, I tried with -prime, -settings and -319, but now I can't get into the desktop. I would rather support someone who makes it easier for Linux users that what nvidia does now. [12:26] lagerpc: I'd recommend an AMD graphics card in that case, since that is what I have and it works === upd_ is now known as upd [12:26] lagerpc: Although AMD graphics cards bring their own, different set of issues, it's overwhelmingly nvidia problems I see in this channel [12:27] when can we buy an ubunu phone? [12:27] !phone | thief_and_a_liar [12:27] thief_and_a_liar: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch [12:28] Rory: That is kind of what I am leaning towards. But from 2003-2004, I have always chosen nVidia since it has been so easy to install. The last laptop has only been struggles when it comes to Linux. But then again, I often read that it is not easy to install ATI drivers and that the nVidia has better performance. So I am leaning towards Iris Pro, but somewhat skeptical about performance. [12:29] lagerpc: you could get an nvidia card that doesn't have optimis (am I right in saying that's a way to switch between integrated and discrete graphics?) [12:30] resmir: hi [12:30] resmir: hii [12:30] lagerpc: im the same leaning towards iris on laptops but id like to see it work first :D [12:31] hello, I have problems while booting ubuntu 13.04. it takes a while before loading the logging page and then I can see any bars, menus, tools, only some files on the desktop. I can launch the terminal though. [12:32] wawrek: Does this occur on all users, or just one? [12:32] all users [12:32] wawrek: Is your system fully up-to-date: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [12:33] Rory: As far I have understood, it is. some laptops also gives the option to turn it off in BIOS as well, not mine of course. Had no clue I needed to check upon these things since I though everything would just work as usual. [12:34] Rory: when I run a dist-upgrade I get an error, here is the paste: http://pastebin.com/S8dRy5r6 [12:34] mjayk: There was an article, I'll see if I can find it. Think it gives some clues of what to expect. [12:34] wawrek: Is your disk full?

[12:38] mrrcp: code generator? [12:38] yea [12:39] wawrek: looks like your /boot is almost full. and dist-upgrade might be trying to install a new kernel (i don't vist pastebin.com so i can't see your origional paste) [12:39] you know like two step auth [12:39] mrrcp: Of course, how silly of me [12:39] zykotick9: Good call!

I just want to stream my desktop via ffmpeg [13:13] hello there =) [13:13] ok thanks, I will try then [13:13] i'm running Lubuntu 13.04 and using usb soundcard on my system. but alsa mixer won't play sounds over the usb soundcard. sound comes only from onboard ali 5451 chip. but the jack's are brocken :/ could someone help me? =) [13:14] manuel__: You can select the audio output device from the sound menu [13:14] manuel__: I don't know Lubuntu well, so if you can't find the option, install the package "pavucontrol" which is a sound options GUI [13:15] Rory: manuel__ "might" not currently have pulse installed? i'd doubt lubuntu uses it by default... but maybe? [13:15] !lubuntu | manuel__ [13:15] manuel__: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [13:15] hey Rory. i've read something about pulse audio? the only problem is, that alsa mixer uses my brocken onboard chip as standard output. but i wanna use the usb soundcard :D [13:16] manuel__: I've said all I am going to say at this point [13:16] manuel__: is your usb card listed when you run "cat /proc/asound/cards"?

Is that what Chef/Puppet are for? or do you have to have the pre-made VM already for those? [13:18] zykotick9 pulse audio isn't installed on my os =( [13:18] manuel__: in bios do you have an option to disable the onboard? if so, i'd try that - hoping it would make the USB default (card 0) [13:18] manuel__: Then ask in #lubuntu because it's specific to that [13:18] how can i install pulse audio via apt-get in UXTerminal? === xubuntu is now known as Guest57439 [13:19] SuperLag: Chef/puppet are for applying config files across a large system estate, nothing to do with what you're describing [13:19] manuel__: adding pulse MAY be opening a can of worms for you? [13:19] no =( unfortunaly not =( the bios is strong locked by oem. i can only change boot mode and so on :/ [13:19] SuperLag: If you are keeping Ubuntu up-to-date then you already have the latest daily anyway [13:20] hey Rory. i tried it at #lubuntu :( but no one is writing :D [13:20] sorry at @ for my bad bad english :D [13:20] manuel__: Yes that channel is slower than this one.

[13:23] okay =) i'm online in #lubuntu [13:23] No don't do that [13:23] okay [13:23] i switch to #lubuntu right now ;) === gcx750 is now known as gcx [13:30] hello! i need to install vagrant but have just realized that latest version under ubuntu (13.04) is a bit out-of-date: 1.0.3 instead of 1.3.3.

[13:43] thanq for answer, I will try... [13:44] ArielX_, "chmod u+x autorun.sh && ./autorun.sh" [13:44] ArielX_: So it's on a CD-rom? then you can't make it executable.

Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [15:10] Rory: im on a server.... so gparted wont work [15:10] oh bwayne i see [15:10] Rory, the partitions are listed, and I figured which are the ones to shred now [15:11] BrixSat: What partition are you wanting to resize there, BrixSat - there's no free space to expand it into! [15:11] apparatchik: OK so is it called something like /dev/sda2 [15:11] yes [15:11] Rory, yes [15:11] rory the vda2 is free i supose [15:11] linuxearth: some other math resources in ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuMath [15:11] BrixSat: ask in #ubuntu-server [15:11] ok [15:12] apparatchik: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdXN bs=4k conv=notrunc [15:13] bwayne: but the word 'selection' is missing in my menu of 'View' in the section of libreoffice, still i search [15:14] Rory, here is the result: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6179933/ [15:14] apparatchik: There is unfortunately no progress indicator, and like I said I don't know how long it'll take because I always do it overnight [15:14] linuxearth: i don't have a copy of libreoffice in front of me to check exactly how. [15:14] hehe apparatchik not /dev/sdXN [15:14] apparatchik: Replace /dev/sdXN with the actual drive you want to zero [15:14] Rory, ohh :) [15:14] apparatchik: and be careful because if you make a typo you're gonna have a bad time [15:15] Rory, I had to add sudo at the beginning of the command. without it the permission was denied [15:15] apparatchik: Oh yes, sorry [15:15] libreoffice seems too typical to use [15:15] in this regard [15:15] bwayne: thanks for this [15:15] apparatchik: Does it seem to be working now? As in, it's sitting there seemingly doing nothing? [15:16] I've encountered an issue that's keeping me from using Unity [15:16] Oh yeah apparatchik you might want to do "sudo rm /dev/sdXN" because you made a really big file there full of zeroes :P [15:16] !details | CountryfiedLinux [15:16] CountryfiedLinux: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [15:16] When I set the launcher panel to autohide, I have to literally slam the pointer into the edge of the screen edge to get it to pop out from being hidden. So its that or have it always sticking out like a sore thumb. [15:16] Rory, ^ [15:17] CountryfiedLinux: How would you prefer it to be? [15:18] Rory, Like Docky or Plank Dock. Once that pointer touches the edge of the screen it pops right up. [15:18] Rory, In Unity I had to press the pointer against the edge. Not as responsive/sensitive as a dock. [15:18] CountryfiedLinux: I think they reduced the sensitivity a release or two ago because it used to always appear at really annoying moments whenever your mouse was over there [15:19] Rory, Even at highest sensitivity I still have that issue. Very annoying. Other than that I'd gladly be using Unity. [15:19] But for now its Gnome Shell. [15:20] Hi. I'm having some trouble logging into my computer. The session keeps crashing. It seems like it's not even getting to the point where anything is being logged to .xsession-errors; it always contains info from my last working session. But I can't find anything useful in /var/log/lightdm either. How can I find out what's wrong with my session? [15:21] Rory, Any idea if there's any workarounds for my issue here? [15:21] CountryfiedLinux: Does it occur on all users, such as the guest account? [15:22] Rory, Its just the way Unity is. [15:23] Hi everyone. I have mounted directory on guest machine to the host machine. rsyn synchronise data between guest and host. How to tell rsync to exlude one directory and stop synchronising them with host [15:23] ?? [15:23] Hi. I'm having some trouble logging into my computer. The session keeps crashing. It seems like it's not even getting to the point where anything is being logged to .xsession-errors; it always contains info from my last working session. But I can't find anything useful in /var/log/lightdm either. How can I find out what's wrong with my session? This is on my work computer; I am presently at a state where I can't do my job. It's critical that I get this back u [15:23] p and running. [15:24] acidChrist: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2011/01/rsync-exclude-files-and-folders/ [15:25] Rory: I have read the article but if I create file in excluded dir it steal appear on host machine [15:25] acidChrist: What is the rsync command you're using? [15:25] sudo rsync -avz --exclude 'vendor' . . [15:25] Rory, Searching my issue in Google I see a lot of others are upset about this. It would be better if a user just decreased unhide sensitivity if they're having issues and left us that want it to just work on approach to have it be able to do so. [15:26] Oh well, perhaps in Unity 9 [15:26] I can't even access the grub menu right now; I hold shift and it just straight up gets ignored! [15:26] acidChrist: . . ? [15:26] Rory: source dest [15:26] where I'm in the source dir [15:26] acidChrist: OK as long as you aren't actually putting dots [15:27] acidChrist: When you run your command do you see the files in vendor being copied? [15:27] nop [15:27] Then they aren't being copied [15:27] the -v flag to rsync will show you every file that's copied [15:28] is it possible to use lubuntu from usb with possibility to add programs, save files etc ? === belljar is now known as apparatchik [15:28] Rory: so let's say I have the mounted point in /home/point and the directory to exclude is /home/point/dex [15:28] what the command should looks like [15:28] Hi Rory, apparatchik here [15:29] How' [15:29] acidChrist: Forget the fact it's virtual, forget the fact it's mounted [15:29] bubibubi i guess you want !persistent usb installation [15:29] the other machine is still running, and freezing often..hence writing from here [15:29] acidChrist: "rsync -avz -exclude 'foo' source dest" will copy everything in source to dest, apart from the 'foo' directory. It will show you what's being copied also. [15:29] Hi. I'm having some trouble logging into my computer. The session keeps crashing. It seems like it's not even getting to the point where anything is being logged to .xsession-errors; it always contains info from my last working session.

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ === jtanner|concall is now known as jtanner [15:30] hi [15:30] Rory: Don't give me that. This is my *work* computer. I installed Ubuntu on a production machine and I *trusted* that it would not break. [15:30] ok thanx [15:30] TiZ: I don't like your attitude. Ignored. [15:31] TiZ, Ubuntu devs don't entitle you to anything, they're mostly volunteers [15:31] TiZ: you should only trust what you have tested :p [15:31] Rory: based on the example if I wan't to exclude the dex dir from /home/point the command should looks rsync --exclude dex /home/point /home/point ? [15:31] !attitude | TiZ [15:31] TiZ: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [15:32] acidChrist: You're copying a directory to itsself there [15:32] I'm not even asking anything hard. All I am asking for is to know which logfiles I need to check in order to solve the problem myself. [15:32] TiZ: well, can you think of anything that might have caused this? [15:32] Rory: so rsync --exclude dex /home/point/dex /home/point/dex ? [15:32] acidChrist: What are you doing? Why are you using rsync? [15:33] TiZ: and, which version of Ubuntu are you running? [15:33] TiZ: this is not a windows call center line. [15:33] acidChrist: What you have jsut said is "copy all the files from /home/point/dex into /home/point/dex, apart from dex" [15:34] I'm sure people with windows issues love calling Microsoft, waiting on hold for an hour, then being charged $35 [15:35] gordonjcp: There was a kernel update in the last update. I uninstalled that kernel, rolling back to the old one, and there was no change. Aside from that, there were indicator libs, samba, and this one library called libwbclient, and I'm not sure what that is. Also, it's Xubuntu. [15:35] I just Installed KDE SC 4.11 on my Ubunu 12.04 LTS. And when I rebooted my machine. There was no KDE on my Login Screen? [15:35] Xerofyte: You have to select the KDE session from your login screen. There is a button that will allow you to choose your session. [15:36] Oh wait. Are you saying that KDE's not even in the session menu? === jtanner is now known as jtanner|lunch [15:36] TiZ: Yes Brother That is what i am Saying [15:36] TiZ, Did something go wrong with the kernel you had before? [15:36] Rory, it showed this now: paste.ubuntu.com/6180040 [15:37] TiZ, There's usually no good reason to upgrade the kernel other than graphics issues. [15:37] Rory, does it mean anything is shredded now? should I say no? [15:37] dumfuq: I'm not talking about a kernel upgrade so much as a kernel update. The kind you get from regular old sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade. [15:38] apparatchik: dd: writing `/dev/sda3': Input/output error [15:38] TiZ, Well try upgrading or downgrading the kernel maybe? [15:38] apparatchik: That actually means it's done [15:38] apparatchik: It reached the end of the drive that's why. Assuming that partition is exactly 60GiB, it's worked, as shown by: 59999997952 bytes (60 GB) copied [15:39] TiZ, you using the LTS? [15:39] Rory; great, then I go about the same way with the next partition..yes, it was 60GB [15:39] apparatchik: Also you're being asked a question because you hit Tab twice. It's nothing to do with dd === LoganG|off is now known as LoganG [15:39] Rory, so I say no :) [15:39] done [15:40] dumfuq: No, I'm on 13.04. Which contradicts my whole spiel about being on a production machine, I know, but at least I'm not crazy enough to use Arch. [15:40] TiZ, Here's a crazy idea. Upgrade to 13.10. Its very stable on my laptop here. [15:41] dumfuq: Whoa, that is crazy. I suppose it's not *that* crazy since release is basically right around the corner, though. Are we in feature freeze now? [15:42] Hi, I'm using 13.04 on a Lenovo X230 and starting from last week somehow my audio fails randomly after some time of playback (a parallel Installation of Win 7 does not show the same issue). [15:42] TiZ, I dunno, but there really isn't much else gonna be put into it at this stage, so its very save to at least try it out IMO. [15:42] I just Installed KDE SC 4.11 on my Ubunu 12.04 LTS. And when I rebooted my machine. There was no KDE Plasma Workspace in the Sessions on my Login Screen? [15:43] (I already tried using the mainline kernels which does not help the problem) [15:43] dumfuq: Yeah, that's not a bad idea. [15:44] With guidance from someone from #xubuntu, I used the guest session to test, and then deleted ~/.Xauthority and ~/.ICEauthority to get back in. I apologize for copping the hardcore attitude, but I really needed ideas bouncing off of me. Thanks for the assistance. [15:46] <_ohm> How do I view current IPTables rules? iptables -L doesn't give me any rules that I have added [15:46] _ohm: It is iptables -L to list rules, how did you add them? [15:47] <_ohm> Rory, sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 3000 [15:47] <_ohm> that was the command I used, however when I do iptables -L I get nothing [15:47] _ohm: try this: iptables-save > /tmp/iptables [15:47] _ohm: Then edit the /tmp/iptables file [15:47] _ohm: then do sudo iptables-restore < /tmp/iptables [15:48] _ohm: That's how I always do it [15:48] gst`-: it cuts out during a run of the OS? [15:48] yes [15:48] <_ohm> Rory, and just add my rules to the file? [15:48] quite randomly [15:48] _ohm: Yeah, look at how the other rules are formatted [15:48] _ohm: I'm sure you can work out how to put your rules [15:49] !ufw | _ohm also this might be of interest [15:49] _ohm also this might be of interest: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as Gufw also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [15:49] i tried killing pulse audio and doing a force reload of alsa [15:49] doesnt help [15:50] it's gone until i restart the machine [15:50] `openmpi` not found in ubnutu [15:50] gst`-: did u have 12.04 installed previously as a sort of comparison to the issue? [15:50] <_ohm> Rory, got it, thanks a lot [15:50] yep it worked fine (but that was ages ago). and it worked fine with 13.04 up until probably a week ago [15:51] gst`-: did you loose power suddenly [15:52] no, the laptop is on the ac [15:53] gst`-: when it cuts again see if gnome-alsamixer shows muted [15:53] is the console tool fine too? [15:54] gst`-: maybe but try them both [15:54] since alsamixer shows nothing muted [15:54] Rory, the 40GB partition takes not shorter than 60gb, yet the process is not dependent on how much of the space is free, right? [15:55] apparatchik: Correct [15:55] actually it seems i cant run gnome-alsamixer once it happened [15:55] alsamixer works fine [15:55] apparatchik: The output from dd will tell you the actual speed in bytes per second [15:57] Rory: I have done it and it moved from source to dest the right directories. But how to tell sync process to synchronise only the files without the excluded. I mean the process which sync them automatically [15:57] ? [15:57] acidChrist: What is performing the synchronisation? [15:57] ? === rh1n0 is now known as rh1n0|away [15:59] Hi! I installed LAMP, after that I installed phpMyAdmin and it doesn't work,it's not connected to apache. How can I fix it [15:59] acidChrist: you ask "how to tell sync process" what is sync process? [15:59] Baze: How did you install LAMP? How did you install PHPmyadmin? What ubuntu version are you using? Did you follow a guide? Are you getting an error? [16:00] anyone else using lxle ? [16:00] I just Installed KDE SC 4.11 on my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. And when I rebooted my machine. There was no KDE Plasma Workspace in the Sessions on my Login Screen [16:02] I installed LAMP with tasksel and PHPmyadmin trough terminal. I have Xubuntu 13.04, and I only followed guide for tasksel installation. [16:02] Baze: Through terminal? How? [16:02] Baze: What did you run to install phpmyadmin? [16:02] Rory, 40gb space took longer than 60gb, still running..is that plausible? [16:02] I got 404 error for http://localhost/phpmyadmin === xubuntu is now known as Guest40325 [16:02] apparatchik: yes it's plausible [16:03] just #sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin [16:03] Baze: did you put "Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf" into your apache config? [16:03] Baze: please make sure that you have a symlink to /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf in /etc/apache2/conf.d/ [16:03] i haven't done thate [16:03] Baze: Pici's way is better [16:04] Oct 1 17:54:18 unicorn kernel: [ 4335.120110] gnome-alsamixer[10360]: segfault at 16 ip 00007fa6828277b5 sp 00007fff44730178 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.3600.0[7fa6827ec000+f9000] <-- syslog event when launching gnome-alsamixer [16:04] how do I generate locales on Ubuntu?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools [16:08] Rory, I mean, anything that should prevent me from continuing with other partitions? [16:08] or anything that hindered the process? [16:08] Ok, that worked [16:08] apparatchik: it will only write to the partition you specify, the others will be fine [16:09] is there any benefit to running multiple swap files on one disk?

[16:16] Am I going to brick my system if it fails or can I revert back, Rory? [16:16] its difficult to say [16:17] lenzeor: Don't upgrade if you care about your system [16:17] lenzeor: Expect it to break, and then you can't be disappointed [16:17] if you were able to boot into the recovery option I would say that bricking your pc isnt likely. Just be careful when you partition your HDD [16:17] lenzeor: and have current backups ;) [16:17] ah damn [16:18] okok, thanks Rory and Wylde [16:18] I'll have to wait then [16:21] TiZ: glad you got it sorted, I had to head home or else stay at work all night ;-) [16:21] hmm, you need a language-pack to get locales [16:22] TiZ: deleting .Xauthority sounds like you may be attempting to use something graphical as root [16:22] and it generates all the useless variants /o\ [16:22] the short offline smarttest told me: read failiure , what now?

[16:24] in the smart selftest log [16:24] oo_miguel: that it failed at teh very start [16:25] ah ok [16:25] and this is an definitive hardware error disqulifying the disk from any use right? [16:25] belljar: Are you apparatchik? [16:25] very likely [16:26] belljar: Yes, if /dev/sda3 is actually the one you want [16:26] Rory, yes, I am, sorry.

[16:39] apparatchik: so special they only exist in the minds of scifi authors [16:39] wylde, do you know if any of them can be installed with apt-get? [16:39] gordonjcp: wikipedia says that it is possible [16:39] Any one here ever play champions of regnum????

[16:40] trying it. Wish me luck! [16:40] gordonjcp: I just used dd with the assistance of Rory, that's why I wondered when I was reading about dd, and saw this [16:40] apparatchik: yeah [16:41] apparatchik: if you're not satisfied with zero'ing, you could always sandwich the drive between 2 strong magnets overnight ;) heh === schnitzl_ is now known as schnitzl [16:41] apparatchik: in theory with drives that are more than about 30 years old you could *possibly* look at funny ripples in the analogue data read back from the disk [16:41] apparatchik: even then it wasn't really possible [16:41] gordonjcp: so it is not even sth for nsa?

[18:57] cheater__: /www.google.com/search?q=source+code+for+ubuntu+kernel+saucy might get you what you need also. Most of the links point to launchpad, so that's probably where you'll be able to download the source. [18:58] PatrickDickey: i don't see anything there.

I often never notice that someone has IM'd me.. is there any way to fix this or keep it from happening? [19:31] wilee-nilee: ahhh, either "apt-get purge foo" or "apt-get --purge remove foo" no mixing and matching ;) [19:31] What's the opposite of `tail`?

[19:41] StarFlower, well its a bug there still working on , there are fixes released for some things but not all of them yet [19:41] oops lol [19:41] didnt mean to talk to myself [19:42] hi [19:42] does the ubuntu install CD include all the non-free drivers and firmware?

I can be patient =) [19:43] wlightning, yah not much you can do unless you can get into the code and find the problem [19:44] schackofatz i think that not but after you finish the installation you can install those drivers [19:44] Hi. anyone having problems with U1 lately? I have it installed on two machines, one Windows and one XUbuntu, and it just seems not to sync correctly. I have Tomboy notes set up to sync into a share directory, and I change some notes, it (says) it uploads, but on the other machine it does not sync the contents... [19:45] StarFlower, at some point maybe.. I don't really understand how those systems interact yet. [19:46] what does the channel suggest to replace the spell/grammar check in Microsoft office Word? I have libreoffice but it never seems to catch all my mistakes, this is one reason I must keep windows installed === tsimpson_ is now known as tsimpson [19:47] What is the current best method of installing Internet Explorer inside of Ubuntu? [19:48] skinux: you may want to look into wine gecko [19:48] I followed a tutorial using wine and Ie8, but installer says it's not compatible with my architecture. [19:49] skinux try installing windows in virtual machine if you cant use wine [19:49] Umm, I want to install IE for testing purposes, so it needs to use IE's rendering engine. === Vbitz_ is now known as Vbitz [19:49] hello, how install AES for java? [19:49] vicente__, I use a plugin called grammerly, however I would ask this in ##windows [19:50] skinux, https://github.com/xdissent/ievms [19:50] To install anything in VBox I'd have to manage to get my empty 20G partition merged with Ubuntu's 30G partition. [19:50] skinux, oh. that won't work then.. all the IE versions take up 48GB [19:50] skinux, what happens when you run the internet explorer setup [19:51] vicente__, great for writing academic papers. http://www.grammarly.com/ [19:51] It begans installing, but then errors that it's not compatible with my architecture. It does this for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. [19:51] which version of ie? [19:52] everything after 8.0 doesnt work at all in wine [19:53] skinux, this is the latest version that works according to appdb.winehq.org [19:53] http://download.microsoft.com/download/C/C/0/CC0BD555-33DD-411E-936B-73AC6F95AE11/IE8-WindowsXP-x86-ENU.exe [19:54] skinux, In ubuntu and linux in general you do not merge partitions, but resize them. [19:54] guys i wanna ssh to a particular pc(whose IP I know) on a remote network, so how do I do that? [19:54] skinux, even that doesnt work well [19:54] Greetings wilee-nilee [19:54] hi [19:54] stiwari, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH [19:54] stiwari, ssh user@1.1.1.1 [19:55] wlightning, but the PC is on a network xx.xxx.com, and my account is on that machine only. i tried doing what you said, it didnt work...should I try the broadcast address then? === xdm83_ is now known as xdm83 [19:56] ping the address and get the ip [19:56] try again [19:56] +r [19:57] i tried getting ip using ifconfig [19:57] stiwari, is it behind a NAT router? [19:59] wlightning, not really sure. all i know is that my account is on a machine, say xx. and the network name is say, yy.yy.com. so how do I access the machine? i have done remote logins using ssh before, but none on a particular machine. [19:59] well what's the error you get when trying to ssh to it? [19:59] stiwari, ^^ [20:01] well when i try to ssh I get nothing, and when I ping the address it says request time out. maybe I am using the wrong address?> === kbrosnan_ is now known as kbrosnan === nicolas__ is now known as Guest51331 [20:03] stiwari, well if you can't ping it.. it could be behind a NAT. especially if the address is a 10.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x [20:03] wlightning, it is a 10.x.x.x kinda address [20:03] stiwari, so.. whatever is doing the NAT will need to forward port 22 from the public IP to that 10.x.x.x IP [20:04] i am pretty sure port forwarding is enabled by the sysadmin [20:04] stiwari, so then you'd need the public IP to ssh... [20:04] stiwari, if the forwarding is already setup for that specific machine === banch is now known as 13WAA6M74 [20:05] ok so how do I get the public IP? [20:06] stiwari, if the machine has a web browser.. searching Google for "What is my IP?" and it'll say above the search results "Your public IP address is x.x.x.x - Learn More" [20:07] stiwari: Or you can go to http://whatismyip.com and it should give you the IP address also. [20:08] well when I try to ssh using the IP given by Google, it says no route to host [20:08] stiwari: what exactly are you trying to do? ssh inside of your network, or ssh to a computer from outside? [20:08] ssh to a compute(which resides on a network, say xx.xx.com) from outside [20:08] *computer, I mean === tage_ is now known as mancave-tage === tsechin is now known as Guest61300 [20:09] I am damn sure its possible, since almost all the people in my lab(where my mchine is) ssh to their own machines all the time from outside [20:09] stiwari: And do you know for a fact that their router has the port set up for it? === ghoti_ is now known as ghoti [20:10] stiwari, have you tried asking them how they do it? [20:10] Is it me, or are the FloodBots going a bit wacko today? [20:11] well, I want to figure out on my own rather than ask them...but if nothing works out I might have to do that. [20:11] PatrickDickey: freenode is acting a bit wacko today. The bots can't keep up. [20:12] That explains a lot then. I got booted off for a Ping timeout, and couldn't get on. Then it took two minutes for it to identify me (said NickServ didn't exist). === aaass is now known as aaas [20:13] ok i am just wondering if it'd be a better idea to go with 12.04 LTS or 13.04 ? [20:14] xmetal: It's pretty much a matter of personal preference, and whether you need the bleeding-edge (or close to it) or more stable. [20:15] stiwari, we're just doing a bunch of guess-work here, it's really hard for us to give you advice without knowing the full setup. [20:15] stiwari, and there may be someone you have to ask in order to get it setup.. that's how it is for a lot of places. [20:16] bbs hopefully. I'm going to try and reboot. Then hopefully apt-get autoremove will actually remove the old kernels... :S === aaass is now known as aaas [20:18] wlighning, I understand that very well. thanks a lot to you and everyone else for all your time and efforts. [20:18] as long as the packages are not "too old" i dont need the latest [20:18] stiwari, sorry I don't really have much more I can do =) [20:19] such as i can get the newest Firefox or VLC (for the most part lastest), i'd be happy with 12 [20:19] hey you have done a lot already, so why the sorry? lol [20:19] though for a LTS release i plan on getting the NEXT update [20:19] not the Oct (or Nov for Mint) but the NEXT two releases of those distros will be LTS [20:20] next year i mean [20:20] hi, a moment ago when trying to log into the standard unity desktop, it'd only flicker the screen and immediately go back to the login screen, and i saw this in the dmesg everytime: [20:20] type=1400 audit(1380658030.999:43): apparmor="DENIED" operation=" [20:20] open" parent=1 profile="/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm/lightdm-guest-session-wrapper" [20:20] name="/proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory" pid=3301 comm="pool" requested_mask="r" de [20:20] nied_mask="r" fsuid=118 ouid=0 [20:20] sorry for the fragmented paste [20:21] ok if i get 12.04 will i be getting the latest software (when i update of course) [20:21] or will the general software be "a few versions behind" 13.x ? [20:21] (say VLC and FIrefox again for an example) [20:22] I changed to unity 2d and now when I play a movie I can't see the video. only audio! [20:22] later, trying to log in the same way it'd only report some STATUS messages instead of DENIED, and a minutre or so later it just let me log in, what's wrong? [20:23] i am going to get 13.04 and if i have time 12.04 [20:23] so i have both [20:23] hmm @ freenet and the floodbots [20:24] I changed to unity 2d and now when I play a movie I can't see the video. only audio! [20:25] Good day, i am trying out the latest daily of 13.10 and am setting up Nvidia proprietary 319 with nvidia-prime, the problem is that everything seems to work but i am getting a black screen [20:25] TheOnlyJoey|Lap :Raring/13.04 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion. [20:25] TheOnlyJoey|Lap: er, and by raring/13.04 I mean saucy/13.10 [20:26] Pici, ah thanks will do [20:27] my router & PoE died last night ... i've borrowed a PoE from a friend ... now need to setup an old box for router, until replacement parts arrive ... has anyone here set up wireless access on Smoothwall ? ... Smoothwall doesn't seem to have IRC support [20:27] Tex_Nick: That doesnt make Smoothwall an Ubuntu issue :) [20:29] anyone here do m2m cell work? [20:29] Tex_Nick, #smoothwall on OFTC [20:29] Tex_Nick, http://www.smoothwall.org/irc/ [20:29] bekks: right sir thought i'd give a shot sorry [20:30] Tex_Nick: also maybe more luck in ##hardware or ##networking in case smoothwall won't do === smoke is now known as Guest29431 [20:31] TheOnlyJoey|Lap & schackofatz , hey thanks for the replys ... i'll those a shot :) [20:32] I changed to unity 2d and now when I play a movie I can't see the video. only audio!

Something up there? [20:41] Hi, how can i know the name of my current window manager that i'm using? [20:43] rafael_, open terminal: echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP [20:44] OerHeks: that looked promising, but only gives me a blank line :(.. [20:44] It gives me "Unity" === Sickki_ is now known as Sickki [20:46] OerHeks> it gives me "gnome", but i do not know what theme i install, if metacity or gtk, i'm confused [20:47] rafael_, what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [20:47] Ubuntu 13.04 \n \l [20:47] OerHeks: Ubuntu 13.04 \n \l [20:48] rafael_, so my guess is you installed ubuntu-gnome-desktop [20:50] What's the easiest way to get common logins for a small network with windows mac and linux clients? [20:51] mrmcgibby: ldap? [20:51] OerHeks: yes, but i want to install a theme for gnome, i'm not in doubt choose which type in gnome-look.org site [20:52] Spec: I was looking at Samba AD. You think LDAP would be easier? Just worried about setting up the windows clients. [20:52] running 2 monitors with the promary on the right and the secondary on the left. is there a way to move the task bar to the right side of the screen? [20:53] rafael_: metacity are the window themes (the borders of the windows), gtk is the toolkit theme (the widgets, buttons, etc), they are pretty much all the same between unity and gnome, except gnome-shell has shell themes too (in addition to the others) [20:54] Hey guys, I'm running compiz and I set the opacity from the panels to 40, now I'd like to set the opacity from the icons IN THE panel to 100% is there a way to do it? === Marlenee_b is now known as Marlenee [20:55] http://time.gov/ TIME HAS ENDED, where do I get the time now... [20:55] kristal: http://time.whistleblowers.org :> [20:56] anyone worked a lot of time with compiz? [20:57] Timtimo: the icons have always been 100% opaque for me, regardless of the panel opacity [20:58] mrmcgibby: I set the panel opacity to 40%, the icons in the panel are at 40% too :-/ === mat__ is now known as Guest35480 [20:58] Timtimo, install unity-tweak, icons should not alter when setting opacity to 40 or less [20:59] Ah, forgot to say, that I'm using Gnome, not Unity :) [20:59] OerHeks: I got some tuts via google but all are made with Unity [21:00] Timtimo: gnome shell doesn't use compiz (¿) [21:00] Timtimo, i don; t know if gnome-desktop does it different, try gnome-tweak-tool [21:01] trism: thank you!!! [21:01] OerHeks: thank you too! [21:01] sil ,what do you mean? [21:01] xangua: it does :b [21:02] I'm using compiz as window manager (gnome classic) [21:05] Timtimo, hi what gnome version are you running [21:07] linuxuz3r: I'm running 3.6.3.1 [21:08] Could someone here help me in getting connected to an IPSec tunnel (setup by OpenSwan) from an Ubuntu client? I have tried with VPNC but I cannot connect. Other non-linux clients are able to connect to the tunnel just fine which leads me to believe this is a client side issue.

Announcement: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1252 - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1. Release date will be 17th October 2013. [21:49] for this particular ltsp setting yes I do not need virbr0 [21:49] so how to do it please [21:49] someone [21:50] pentest: setup bridging as described in the vbox manual. [21:51] Hi. Full installed ubuntu to flashdrive and got everything working fine, but the size is >3GB and would like to reduce this as much as possible. Just want the basic linux commands via terminal, firefox, and my video drivers which I've installed. Any big packages I can uninstall? Is there a list of optional software? Just not sure looking at `dpkg --list` what's not uninstallable. [21:51] well if I do not use virbr0 the only other NIC is wlan0 which I can bridge.. but it is connected to Internet.. so U should not be able to use it for LTSP dhcp server [21:51] am I right [21:51] pentest: No. [21:52] good..I like to wrong.. [21:52] so what is the correct way then [21:52] remember I only have one NIC [21:52] Physical NIC [21:52] pentest: Then your setup is impossible. [21:52] why is that please... [21:53] surely I should be able to create virtual adapter and point LTSP server to that adapter [21:53] BEcause you only have one physical network and you cannot differentiate between the traffic of your both logical networks. [21:53] By "uninstallable" I mean system packages that will cause instability if missing lol [21:53] what is the deal with ubuntu portable, it seems awesome, but no one has upgraded it to x64 [21:53] why not... [21:53] I upgraded Ubuntu and now dovecot won't serve pre-upgrade maildir messages. Some but not all of the old messages show up if I load the directory directly in my MUA. Anyone have any ideads [21:53] ideas* [21:53] ? [21:53] pentest: Refer to chapter 6 of the vbox manual for different settings. [21:54] virtual adapter can be only a different subnet and that virtual adapter can communicate with wlan0 [21:54] okay... [21:54] huh? [21:54] No :) [21:54] why not [21:54] pentest: Networking basics. [21:54] onethfour: its not an offical ubuntu so please see their support [21:54] I am just have a brainstorm..and not arguing if that makes any sense [21:54] pentest: It doesnt :) [21:55] okay let me read then [21:55] thanks bekks [21:56] Already got rid of thunderbird. Any other big packages like that that ubuntu comes with with default install?

[21:59] !minimal [21:59] 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 [21:59] board backup-site > /var/backup [21:59] onethfour, that looks like virtualbox [21:59] how can i make the command line understand board as referring to the utility [21:59] tgm4883, its not, its portable ubuntu [22:00] currently only working on x86 (32bit) [22:00] onethfour: it is [22:00] k1l_, no its not [22:00] its a virtual workaround. but again: see their support. its not an official ubuntu [22:00] onethfour, in any case, we don't support portableubuntu here [22:01] i run ubuntu on my server and when the modem is put off an then turned on ithe Ip changes [22:01] ìciao [22:01] JohnVonNeumann, yes, and? [22:02] http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2009/04/portable-ubuntu-runs-ubuntu-inside-windows/ [22:02] hey, it seems that `fc-cache` is no longer a command, or oddly not on root's path… is there a new command, or where did it run off to?? [22:02] onethfour, still, not supported here [22:03] tgm4883: i wanna the IP grt fixed [22:03] onethfour: again: it uses a virtualisation instance and it is not supported in here. ask the project itself why they do things or dont. [22:04] JohnVonNeumann, you mean your private IP (eg. 192.168.x.x), or your public IP? [22:04] JohnVonNeumann you need to set your modem to give that server a static IP address, and then configure the interface on the server for whichever IP [22:04] the private one [22:05] JohnVonNeumann, then you either need to setup a static on your server, or configure your modem to reserve the IP address for your MAC [22:09] ohai ubottu [22:11] hey, it seems that `fc-cache` is no longer a command, or oddly not on root's path… is there a new command, or where did it run off to?? [22:11] my 13.04 install screen res is set at 1024x768, how to edit the config to allow more resolutions? === xubuntu is now known as Guest69082 [22:12] can anyone just run `which fc-cache` and tell me what they get for a path? [22:13] jobelenus: /usr/bin/ [22:13] jobelenus what version of ubuntu? [22:14] im on lucid (10.04) [22:14] yea, its definitely not there in /usr/bin.. hrmm… this is a server, without a windowing system.. could that be the issue? [22:16] jobelenus is the server hosting anything that would need access to fonts? [22:16] Could someone here help me in getting connected to an IPSec tunnel (setup by OpenSwan) from an Ubuntu client? I have tried with VPNC but I cannot connect. Other non-linux clients are able to connect to the tunnel just fine which leads me to believe this is a client side issue. [22:16] yea… i am using wkhtmltopdf [22:17] hmm [22:17] TheGreatBacon: so i need to install a font (which i've moved to /usr/share/fonts already)… but cant seem to rebuild the cache now [22:17] hola [22:17] i get it, i just don't remember where fc-cache was in 10.04 [22:17] trying to google for it though [22:17] How can I setup the application that should be opened when I open a torrent? [22:18] TheGreatBacon: well, are you sure that fc-cache would be installed on systems without x11/gnome/etc? [22:18] Whenever I log in, I get the error message: "An online account needs attention". I tried googling it, but I can't find a solution because it was a known bug. I was just curious if any of you have the same problem and if any of you have a solution. [22:18] e.g. my problem is not "why isnt it on the path", but instead "i need to install it and all its dependencies" [22:19] ah, so you need to install it then. do you have apt? [22:19] i don't know if i need to -- thats what i want to figure out [22:19] hello [22:19] talk in spanish? [22:19] is this for a production system, or a hobbie type of deal [22:19] Could someone here help me in getting connected to an IPSec tunnel (setup by OpenSwan) from an Ubuntu client? I have tried with VPNC but I cannot connect. Other non-linux clients are able to connect to the tunnel just fine which leads me to believe this is a client side issue. [22:19] TheGreatBacon: production, hence my reluctance [22:19] ah, gotcha [22:19] hang on then while i research it [22:21] jobelenus, do u have fontconfig installed? it's a dependancy [22:21] how do i make a command line utility [22:21] `which fontconfig` is empty [22:21] `which font-config` is empty too [22:21] so, doesnt look like it [22:21] I want it to work like the command line utilities on linux [22:22] !spanish | Anto [22:22] Anto: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [22:22] [22:22] how can I make a utility like that? [22:22] jobelenus, to begin: you will need to install it. can you verify that fontconfig will be compatible with your requirements? If so, then 'apt-get install fontconfig' [22:23] ok cool... [22:23] let me know when that completes please [22:23] presione intro. [22:23] [22:23] how can I make a utility like that?

For this, I think I should use neard (https://01.org/linux-nfc/about), but in order to compile neardAL (https://01.org/linux-nfc/about) I need glib>=2.30. I googled a bit, and it seems tricky. [22:28] iTitou: it would be VERY unwise to change glibc versions === dean is now known as dean|away [22:29] ikonia: I don't want to replace my current GLib version, but I would like to have a static libGLib to build neardAL [22:29] iTitou: you can use that, however I suspect it will cause run time problms from your application unless you are very careful [22:31] ikonia: I tried to build GLib 2.36, but automake raised a version error too [22:32] iTitou: you'll need to work through any reverse dependencies, very very carefull [22:32] carefully [22:33] * iTitou scared [22:33] How can i change default location to upload files with vsftp? I want it to be /var/www [22:34] change the public ftp root [22:34] how? [22:34] it's in the config file [22:34] ok, thanks - ikonia [22:36] * TheGreatBacon never gets thanked [22:37] I really can't find it in the config file...

[23:04] I have an irda transmiter/receiver....does these devices usualy get detected when I connecto to the usb? [23:05] m_tadeu, you can find out with the command 'lsusb' [23:06] anyone in here familiar with cron? [23:06] * TheGreatBacon is familiar with cron [23:06] is TheGreatBacon familiar with AMD drivers ? [23:07] if i have 2 cron jobs scheduled at the same time, does cron wait for the first process to start the 2nd, or do they both run at the sametime [23:07] ? [23:07] wingnut2626: they both run at the same time [23:07] TheGreatBacon: it's not there....my question would be to know if this is normal (not being detected) or this device won't work connected to a pc [23:07] m_tadeu, is the Ubuntu machine physical or virtual [23:08] TheGreatBacon: physical [23:08] ok i am running 2 shell scripts, the 2nd of which is dependent on the output of the first, so I guess I'll make one cron entry with a ; seperating the commands === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [23:09] m_tadeu when you say it's not detected, do you mean that the output of 'lsusb' does not reveal the device(s) in question? Or do you mean that when you plug it in, nothing pops up on your UI to show you it's now connected and ready for use? [23:09] Hello how may i regenerate /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules its missing content and one of my interface not working [23:10] TheGreatBacon: nothing shows up in lsusb, neither dmesg [23:10] m_tadeu when version of Ubuntu [23:11] what* version of Ubuntu [23:11] TheGreatBacon: 13.04 [23:11] m_tadeu, Server or Desktop? [23:12] TheGreatBacon: desktop [23:12] this is a repeater device...so maybe this was a bad purchase :P just trying to figure out if it can interact with the pc, somehow [23:13] m_tadeu, is the USB device detected when inserted into another Ubuntu 13.04 Desktop? [23:13] Zyroo, you can use the command: udevadm trigger [23:13] TheGreatBacon: dmesg and /var/log/syslog don't say a thing [23:13] some sites say to delete the file. some say to just erase the device lines inside the file [23:14] m_tadeu, dmesg and syslog on a different Ubuntu 13.04 desktop system or this one? [23:15] TheGreatBacon: tihs one [23:15] Zyroo, also: sudo INTERFACE=eth0 udevadm test --action=add /sys/class/net/eth0 [23:15] compdoc: tnx let me chk [23:15] how about another 13.04 desktop [23:15] Any good recommended site or sites to check after a Ubuntu 13.04 install ? ? Would like as many codecs to work as possible, and netflicks if thats possible. Suggestions ? [23:16] TheGreatBacon: I don't have another [23:16] compdoc: The names eth0 is not getting m getting em1 and p5p1 [23:16] I'm using 12.04 and tried using cairo dock as my primary one. After deciding I didn't like it I removed it from my package manager and rebooted. When selecting "Ubuntu" from the login screen the unity launcher and GUI doesn't start. All I have is a blank desktop and the ability to launch the terminal via ctrl+alt+t shortcut. When choosing 2D Ubuntu from the login screen unity launcher + gui shows up fine, but I'd still like to use the 3D version. Any suggest [23:16] Zyroo, substitute as needed [23:16] Welcome to #ubuntu, Bercik ! [23:16] Welcome to #ubuntu, virusuy ! [23:16] Welcome to #ubuntu, virusuy ! [23:17] migas: turn that off please. [23:17] Zyroo, useful command: ls -al /sys/class/net/* [23:18] m_tadeu, Can you plug it into any other system to determine if it is read there? [23:18] Welcome to #ubuntu, zarroboogs ! [23:18] compdoc: I added do i have to restart network or reboot to get effect still the rules file empty [23:19] TheGreatBacon: I can't...I have no other system here [23:19] m_tadeu, I'm leaning toward it being a bad device with the information we have right now. Would you agree? [23:20] TheGreatBacon: I might....as I said, it is a ir repeater...just making sure it wasn't able to interact with the pc [23:20] compdoc: I restarted still no effect [23:21] m_tadeu, how old is it [23:22] to answer my own question, I just needed to reenable the unity-plugin from CompizConfig [23:23] TheGreatBacon: seems kinda new...you can take a look at it here... http://www.ebay.com/itm/130978728295?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 [23:25] eee [23:25] m_tadeu, hold on a sec. Your USB port may not be putting out 5V [23:26] can you verify the output voltage at the USB port you are attempting to use? [23:26] TheGreatBacon: I think it is....because it's lighting up a led [23:26] m_tadeu you can light a led but not entirely power a device [23:26] TheGreatBacon: ok how can I check that? [23:26] I'd check the output voltage at the port [23:26] Voltmeter [23:27] when would a crontab entry of '0 * * * *' execute? I want to guess every hour on the hour? [23:27] TheGreatBacon: I don't have one....but I usualy charge my mobile on this port [23:28] hey, wondering if anyone could help me with a driver issue? [23:28] m_tadeu, I'd check the voltage [23:29] hello. just installed virtualbox via apt-get, and got some not-so-reassuring [fail]. [23:29] Notably, "No suitable module for running kernel found". Here the details: http://bpaste.net/show/QgBhqhLfZ0ylysMiVlxv/ [23:29] How much worried should I be? [23:29] Hello. I'm concerned about my privacy when using ubuntu. I've already removed unity and zeitgeist, and installed xfce instead. But now I can't find the privacy options. Any ideas where they are? [23:31] i have fglrx-updates installed right now and is working fine with running 3 monitors on a HD 7790.... whenever i install the propriatary drivers off the amd site my system never boots after and i sit in blackness untill i reinstall OS. Can't run games good with fglrx-eperimental or fglrx-update... what do? [23:32] can someone help me understand something about process scheduling in operating systems? is it possible to have a process run for exactly its quantum in round-robin scheduling? if the quantum is some multiple of the timer interrupt period for example? [23:32] join #oses [23:33] TheGreatBacon: ok thanx...I'll try to do that....in the meanwhile, I'll open the device and check if all wires are connected or only the power wires [23:34] m_tadeu: Good call [23:34] lulnix I had the same problem so I don't use the drivers from amd site [23:35] can someone help me understand something about process scheduling in operating systems? is it possible to have a process run for exactly its quantum in round-robin scheduling? if the quantum is some multiple of the timer interrupt period for example? [23:35] dog-food --- is it possible to play steam games with open source drivers then? [23:35] ggherdov: are you trying to install virtualbox inside a chroot inside your arch linux system ? [23:36] faugusztin: no. It's an ubuntu server 12.04. Why do you say so? [23:37] lulnix, fglrx is the proprietary driver [23:37] ggherdov: because it found some 2.6.38 kernel instead of 3.xx 12.04 has [23:38] faugusztin: I just noted the same thing. It is a machine I rent from a server farm. They probably did some custom stuff. === IsoAnon is now known as Isolol [23:39] ggherdov: /proc/modules can't be opened either - something clearly isn't right. my bet is tat you are inside kvm/openvz, and i don't think you will be able to run vbox inside that [23:39] and I am probably in a chroot [23:39] *that [23:40] faugusztin: just spaculating at random, any chance I can install some virtualization of other sort? like QEMU or linux VServer ? What do you think? [23:40] speculating* [23:41] vm inside a vm ? not sure, maybe some full cpu emulation like qemu, but that will be slow [23:42] faugusztin: what I am paying for is not a vm, the contract says I am paying for a physical machine. Otherwise I am being scammed :) [23:42] * ggherdov double checks the contract [23:43] Is there a way to listen for syslog events from an application? === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [23:46] metasansana: no idea, but I see a #syslog-ng channel here in freenode. 22 people inside. [23:46] ggherdov, thanks [23:50] Can I mak a bootable pen drive from a live cd [23:50] I couldnt === Guddu is now known as Guest69055 === jtanner|gym is now known as jtanner [23:55] hello world [23:57] when I do a udisks --mount /dev/sdc5 it mounts it with a label like /77s8dfsad7f6sa7dfs-fd8as7df7-87483748gshj/ [23:57] How do I mount my disk with a human readable name? [23:57] Im assuming the disk does not have a label and thats why its mounting it with its serail number as its name? === andrex is now known as andrex|off [23:59] Ownix: You could add a label to the filesystem (Not to the "disk"). [23:59] I've a question about unity winkey+appnumber navigation? I've been using it to swap between applications on different workplaces. I've got chrome on workspace1, terminal on workspace2 and skype on workspace3. They also exist on my unity launchbar 1-2-3. I'm able to navigate between chrome and terminal using winkey+1/2, but i'm unable to navigate to workspace3 with winkey+3. [23:59] Yep that was the issue. sudo e2label labeled the drive and now a udisks mount mounts it with that drive label [23:59] Jordan_U: labeled the filesystem***
