| agliodbs | how do I disable seahorse entirely and get rid of it | 00:01 |
| agliodbs | ? | 00:01 |
| agliodbs | darned thing is prompting me for pass phrases for ssh keys with no passphrase | 00:01 |
| Dr_Willis | agliodbs: why do you want to? apt-get remove <packagename> but that may have other breakages | 00:01 |

| agliodbs | Dr_Willis: because it's a terrible useless program? | 00:02 |
| sofie_ | I installed a Ubuntu server 12.04.03 + Etherape , And I'm under heavy attack ! | 00:02 |
| agliodbs | Dr_Willis: it's blocking my access to my ssh keys | 00:02 |
| Dr_Willis | agliodbs: ive rarely ever seen any people with problems with it in here. | 00:02 |
| Dr_Willis | !find seahorse | 00:03 |
| ubottu | Found: seahorse, seahorse-daemon, seahorse-nautilus, seahorse-sharing | 00:03 |
| agliodbs | Dr_Willis: search a bit on the internet. there are literally hundreds of posts about disabling it. People hate it with a passion, and with good reason | 00:03 |
| agliodbs | Dr_Willis: such as now: I am trying to log into an external server using an ssh key with no passphrase. Seahorse jumps in the middle of things insisting that I type in a passphrase | 00:04 |

| Freel0ader | hi | 00:05 |
| Freel0ader | can i install rpms if using ubuntu live? | 00:05 |
| Freel0ader | in memory | 00:05 |
| sofie_ | rettype the key ,agliodbs | 00:05 |
| Dr_Willis | !alien | Freel0ader | 00:05 |
| ubottu | Freel0ader: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !dpkg, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 00:05 |
| agliodbs | sofie_: what key? | 00:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Freel0ader: doable.. but useing rpm's is generally not a good idea | 00:06 |
| Freel0ader | sorry. not rpms | 00:06 |
| pfifo | Freel0ader: yes you can, Im assuming you mean deb's though... but you could still install an rmp if you really meant that | 00:06 |
| sofie_ | for connecting to your external server | 00:06 |
| agliodbs | sofie_: I have no idea what you're saying | 00:06 |
| Freel0ader | i just want to run ubuntu from a dvd and install pcscd and run it and install coolkey and use firefox with it | 00:06 |
| Freel0ader | is that doable? | 00:07 |
| nick__ | I installed Ubuntu 13.10 daily image from october 2 (and udated today), and I cannot get MDM installed (mint display manager). I added the repository, but in synaptic there is a package called mdm, but it is not the mint display manager. I wanted to install a GDM theme but couldn't manage to, and I can with MDM (I just put the files in say usr/share/mdm/themes and im good to go)... Anyone able to help? | 00:07 |
| Dr_Willis | Freel0ader: you can install packages and they will instgall to ram. and be lost when you reboot. ;) unless you use a live-usb with a peristant save file | 00:07 |
| sofie_ | I'm just using ubuntu for a year so.... | 00:07 |
| pfifo | Freel0ader: yes, your good to go | 00:07 |
| Freel0ader | ram is fine | 00:07 |
| sofie_ | pretty beginner | 00:07 |
| nick__ | sofie_: Same here, I got 12.10 when it was released, and been on Linux ever since | 00:08 |
| Freel0ader | what's the ubuntu distro for a dvd? live? | 00:08 |
| Freel0ader | ubuntu live? | 00:08 |
| agliodbs | wow, Seahorse is a steaming pile of #^$%$^%&^ | 00:08 |

| sofie_ | and ms_dos | 00:09 |
| nick__ | sofie_, I have to dual boot with windows, because the tools i use for work only run in IE... lol. Everything I do like web design, audio and video production, Linux has great alternatives for | 00:10 |

| wdkevintwo | is there an ubuntu server virtual appliance? just barebones? | 00:11 |
| nick__ | my performing name is Citrix lol, I use citrix on my work computer, but somethings its easier to boot from ym laptop into | 00:11 |

| gmachine_24 | hello. running 12.04 - what do i need to install to get access to a remote computer on my home network? I guess I'm getting old because i forgot how to do this. | 00:12 |
| nick__ | pfifo, I had it working in 13.04. It is a mint question then? | 00:12 |
| Armadillos | gmachine_24: Wanting X Windows, or just erminal? | 00:12 |
| Armadillos | err, terminal* | 00:12 |
| gmachine_24 | Armadillos; just terminal is great thanks | 00:12 |
| pfifo | nick__: not sure, never dont the mint thing... id hqave to say the program was included from mint | 00:13 |
| Armadillos | gmachine_24: Just make sure you have the SSH dameon installed, and you have port 22 open in your firewaall. | 00:13 |
| gmachine_24 | Armadillos: ok, thanks | 00:13 |
| nick__ | pfifo, Yes, and is available in webupd8 repositories. I was just hoping someone in here had experience with it. So, what would you guys support in regards to display managers. just lightdm? | 00:13 |
| sofie_ | I'm going to sleep now, thnx a lot guys | 00:14 |
| foobarwhat | when outside of ubuntu, I usually do "ssh-agent startx" so that ssh-agent works with all the terminals I spawn. What's the equivalent in lightdm/gdm world? | 00:14 |
| nick__ | sofie_, what was your question? | 00:14 |
| pfifo | nick__: anything in the repos, xdm gdm... kdm in #kubuntu | 00:14 |
| deadmund | I'm looking for an RSS reader that automatically (every hour?) checks my feed and downloads unread items and opens those items with the correct program (e.g. gthumb for an image) | 00:15 |
| nick__ | pfifo, great, so how would i install a gdm theme? like i said, normally, I just find the appropriate files in /usr/whatever the path may be, but i cannot find out where gdm config files or themes are located | 00:15 |
| milamber | nick__: http://superuser.com/questions/124174/how-can-i-specify-the-repository-from-which-a-package-will-be-installed-emacs | 00:16 |
| sofie_ | I installed a dedicated firewall server(pc with freeBSD) with fsence/firewall and I' still under heavy attack | 00:16 |
| foobarwhat | nevermind, gdm actually spawns ssh-agent automatically; I just had to ssh-add | 00:16 |
| upd | lol | 00:17 |
| sofie_ | bye nick__ | 00:18 |
| pfifo | nick__: not sure, check out gnome-look.org they should have everything you need | 00:18 |
| nick__ | milamber, thanks. when i do apt-cache showpkg mdm i only see the mdm package from ca.archive.*ubuntus repos* | 00:18 |
| pfifo | sofie_: call you ISP | 00:18 |
| pfifo | nick__: i think milamber was directing that at foobarwhat | 00:19 |
| nick__ | pfifo, I've looked there. from everything that I've found, I gather that there used to be a "login window" section in systems settings to easily accomplish what I am trying to do, but no longer there. | 00:19 |
| sofie_ | my ISP is attacked by the NSA | 00:19 |
| milamber | nick__: not sure how you added the repo, but if you edited a sources file by hand you have to do an update | 00:20 |
| milamber | nick__: sudo apt-get update | 00:20 |
| nick__ | milamber, i did sudo add-apt-repository ppa:*repo location* // sudo apt-get update // | 00:20 |
| milamber | nick | 00:20 |
| nick__ | i do most stuff through terminal | 00:21 |
| jmgk | hi Dr_Willis wso I'm on that app | 00:21 |
| jmgk | its not bad | 00:21 |
| jmgk | :) | 00:21 |
| milamber | nick__: if that ppa offers other packages, can you see them via: apt-cache policy <packagename> | 00:21 |
| milamber | nick__: also, make sure you are connecting when you do the update(s) | 00:22 |
| nick__ | milamber, something must have happened when i added the repo because nothing else is there, im pretty sure they have a bunch of other packages related to mint... i think its the same repo that mate is available through | 00:23 |
| milamber | nick__: what tutorial are you trying to follow? | 00:24 |
| nick__ | ok problem discovered, its been a long day, I should have suspected that first, thanks for your help guys. I will reboot and try to add it again | 00:24 |
| milamber | nick__: it is your machine, but rebooting to solve issues is often jokingly frowned upon here | 00:24 |
| nick__ | http://www.webupd8.org/2012/11/how-to-install-latest-mdm-display.html | 00:25 |
| nick__ | milamber, oh? I made some other changes as well, installed... i cant remember right now... figured a reboot might cleare some stuff up. | 00:26 |
| milamber | nick__: with installing packages, probably not (unless you have manually edited config files in which case a daemon restart is usually all that is necessary) | 00:26 |
| dexter_ | ok | 00:26 |
| dexter_ | anybody here? | 00:27 |
| nick__ | ahhhh, im still used to windows in some ways. when you have to reboot more frequently. | 00:27 |
| toothe | so, I don't se where in the Ubuntu install is the option to install RAID | 00:28 |
| milamber | nick__: what version of ubuntu are you using? | 00:28 |
| nick__ | 13.10 daily | 00:28 |
| tlf | I have 12.04 LTS on a dell studio 17 laptop. I've been using a hitachi 42" via serial as my display. I turned the tv on and discovered my resolution is about 640x800. i don't turn my laptop off unless an update requires a restart, and I don't let it go to sleep. Any idea setting wise that may have done this? | 00:30 |
| nick__ | milamber, no i tried removing the repo, readding it, updating, and installing again and i think it might be a naming conflict with this other mdm package. is that a possibility? | 00:30 |
| milamber | nick__: just so you know, technically support requests for saucy should be in ubuntu+1, but let us see if we can at least get your repo added. the first thing you should do when following those tutorials is seeing if the ppa is still maintained on launchpad.net, your is | 00:31 |
| === mini is now known as Guest94208 | ||
| milamber | nick__: that repo has lots of packages in it. if you aren't finding any of them i would say that it is not just a naming thing. are you able to find all the other packages provided by that repo? | 00:32 |
| nick__ | milamber, upon looking at that repos package list, i notice that i cannot find some of th epackages. the only consistency i can see right now is the ones i cannot find in apt are the ones that do not have a saucy version | 00:36 |
| nick__ | milamber, mdm is one without a saucy version | 00:36 |
| nick__ | :( | 00:36 |
| milamber | nick__: what exactly are you typing to install the repo? | 00:37 |
| nick__ | sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 | 00:39 |
| nick__ | milamber, it did add fine, and imported the RSA key, and is viewable in software and updates under the other tab. and i can find the packages with a saucy version, so im assuming that must be it.. | 00:40 |
| Pinkamena_D | How would I bridge from network cable to wifi with the wifi being on a seperate subnet | 00:40 |
| milamber | nick__: here is the link https://launchpad.net/~nilarimogard/+archive/webupd8?field.series_filter=saucy | 00:41 |
| milamber | the other option is to install a repo from a supported version. however; that is definitely not recommended and not supported here | 00:41 |
| poly-atheist | i can't install ubuntu | 00:41 |
| Pinkamena_D | or rather a simpler question, how can I share the wired connection to the wireless ? It does not seem to be able to connect even though it can see the network | 00:42 |
| pfifo | why does transmission-daemon install 50 different conf files but only use 1 of them? | 00:42 |
| nick__ | milamber, yeah, upon looking further, i cannot find some of the packages with a saucy version either... so im assuming some of the packages exist in more than one of the repos i have... making things more confusing | 00:43 |
| poly-atheist | Pinkamena_D, you need to bridge your network | 00:43 |
| Pinkamena_D | on forums it has said that network manager can do this | 00:43 |
| milamber | nick__: that link i sent shows only 12 packages or so available for that repo in saucy | 00:43 |
| nick__ | yah | 00:43 |
| poly-atheist | Pinkamena_D, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkConnectionBridge | 00:43 |
| Pinkamena_D | blabla "create net network" and then change the type to "infrastructure" | 00:43 |
| mysteronyx | lol I love how the Ubuntu site mentions "live support" as if it's a typical person on the phone service. Then they take you to IRC lol. | 00:43 |
| Pinkamena_D | new* | 00:43 |
| gp5st | are there any gnome2 or xfce4 applets for sports scores? | 00:44 |

| === Guest15188 is now known as bigtip | ||
| nick__ | milamber, yes, you're right, we've got it figured out. the repo is working, i just cant use mdm, which im fine with. tomorrow i will focus on figuring out how to install gdm or lightdm themes, thanks very much for your help | 00:45 |

| Pinkamena_D | so the problem with using network manager ot bridge utils is that the ubuntu machine is not behind a router. I have to make it into a router. what program would do this? | 00:57 |
| Jeeves_Moss | pfifo, once they get the up stream fixed, we can all host at home! | 00:57 |

| we6jbo | How do I read a document that was installed with install-docs? | 01:34 |
| serapath_ | hi | 01:35 |
| we6jbo | hey | 01:35 |
| serapath_ | i just installed ubuntu 13.04 but cant find my local WLAN. i can use it with my desktop computer and from my android device without a problem | 01:35 |
| serapath_ | but it doesnt show up on my notebook (others do, but not mine) | 01:36 |
| Tylertwo | we6jbo: I'm not familiar with install-docs. Do you know what kind of document it is and where it's stored? | 01:36 |
| serapath_ | even typing it in manually when choosing "connect to hidden wifi" doesnt help | 01:36 |
| we6jbo | Tylertwo: This is the command that it ran install-docs -r nethack-spoilers | 01:37 |
| serapath_ | any idea what possible reasons might be? | 01:37 |
| pfifo | serapath_: are the lots of networks around you? | 01:37 |
| we6jbo | serapath_: is the wifi light on or blinking? I've worked with many laptops/netbooks where a switch on the side or a bios setting turns off the wifi adapter | 01:38 |
| mrrcp | if your seeing other networks but not yours... how many networks are around you? | 01:39 |
| mrrcp | it may just not populate in the list | 01:39 |
| Tylertwo | we6jbo: Well it seems like locating the document would help. Sounds like nethack-spoilers is the doc name? So search for it using "locate nethack-spoilers" | 01:40 |

| senlis | would someone help me with an Nvidia problem? | 02:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Gammax: i think the nexus7 is one of the main testbeds for the ubuntu touch stuff. | 02:09 |
| trism | craftyguy: it happens quite a bit that bugs get dup'd on private bugs, you could try asking in #ubuntu-bugs and somebody there might be able to see it and give you more information | 02:10 |
| Gammax | Dr_Willis: IS THAT THE NEW ONE? | 02:10 |
| Gammax | sorry for caps. | 02:10 |
| serapath_ | what the heck? on my ubuntu, i'm finding totally different WLANs | 02:15 |
| serapath_ | hows that possible? | 02:15 |
| serapath_ | only one in common is a "FRITZ!Box 6360 Cable" | 02:15 |
| Dr_Willis | senlis: Gammax theres been a new version of it came out like last month.. | 02:15 |
| Senlis | I have this problem, after installing NVIDIA drivers, that the computer will slow down and freeze after about 30 seconds. Is anyone familiar with this? | 02:15 |
| OY1R | what's the latest LTS that uses the real gnome desktop ? | 02:15 |
| Dr_Willis | OY1R: if you mean gnome2 - there is no longer a lts that uses it i belive | 02:16 |
| Dr_Willis | gnome2 is dead | 02:16 |
| serapath_ | ah and a "WLAN-0024FE42F6E6 | 02:16 |
| serapath_ | all others are different | 02:16 |
| Senlis | sorry Dr_Willis, I only just caught the last bit of your conversation since the computer froze and I had to restart IRC | 02:16 |
| toothe | so, this guide demands that I set the RAID device as bootable, but I cannot. | 02:16 |
| serapath_ | and i cant see my personal one from my ubuntu notebook | 02:16 |
| OY1R | damn. | 02:16 |
| Dr_Willis | OY1R: and really there are better desktops out there these days. Xubuntu and Lubuntu are both very useable. the latest gnome-shell 3.8+ has the official gnome- 'gnome2ish' desktop you can install | 02:17 |
| Dr_Willis | then theres all the gnome2-classic/lookalike variants that i dont use. ;) | 02:17 |
| OY1R | gnome2ish, does it look/feel exactly like gnome 2? | 02:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Nothing looks and feels exactly like gnome2 | 02:18 |
| Dr_Willis | dont even expect it. | 02:18 |
| Dr_Willis | you can setup xubuntu to be fairly close if you want somting lighter then gnome-shell | 02:18 |
| Senlis | The odd thing is that the computer doesn't completely freeze. The mouse will still move, but I can't get the computer to respond to input | 02:19 |
| pleanbean | Anyone have experience with UEFI installs? | 02:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Senlis: this isent a dual gpu optmius system is it? | 02:19 |
| Senlis | it is a Geforce 670, let me check | 02:19 |
| ZH__ | Hai | 02:20 |
| toothe | does anyone here know how to configure RAID on Ubuntu? | 02:20 |
| toothe | I'm trying to install Ubuntu server. | 02:20 |
| toothe | but, the installer will not allow me to configure a RAID device as bootable. | 02:21 |
| ZH__ | i'm just downloading new brand of ubuntu now... | 02:21 |
| Senlis | toothe: I have a computer where I have RAID 0 set up through the BIOS, what they call fake RAID, is that what you have? | 02:21 |
| Dr_Willis | toothe: make a /boot/ partion thats outside the raid perhaps? | 02:21 |
| Senlis | Dr_Willis: it seems that my GPU is optimus, does that mean I need to install bumblebee? | 02:21 |
| toothe | Senlis: No, I"m doing software RAID. | 02:21 |
| toothe | Dr_Willis: What file type would that be? | 02:21 |
| toothe | damn, the guide does not metion that at all, but its worth a shot. What does the /boot drive consist of? | 02:22 |
| ZH__ | i'm new! don' ask me! | 02:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Senlis: as far as i know - yes. you need to use bublebee to make fulluse of optimis stuff | 02:22 |
| ZH__ | i'm new! don't ask me! | 02:22 |
| Dr_Willis | toothe: filesystem for /boot/ could be ext2/3/4 your choise | 02:22 |
| Senlis | Dr_Willis: I'll give it a shot, thanks | 02:22 |
| toothe | Dr_Willis: What is the /boot drive used for again? | 02:22 |
| Dr_Willis | toothe: thats where the kernel and grub boot files are at | 02:22 |
| ZH__ | i'm new! don't ask me! | 02:23 |
| daftykins | ZH__: can you stop that now please? | 02:23 |
| Dr_Willis | make it perhaps 500+mb in size. because it really really SUCKS if you fill up /boot/ ;) | 02:23 |
| Dr_Willis | i put backup ISO files on my /boot/ and setup grub to boot the iso files as a fallback recovery/rescue/reinstall option. ;) | 02:24 |
| ZH__ | stop what? | 02:25 |
| serapath__ | re, fixed the WLAN issue. i had to change the WLAN channel to something below 11, because the driver doesnt support above 11 | 02:25 |
| eamagoo | Hi | 02:26 |
| blackmatrix_ny | hey folks, is there a way to get the temprature widget without having to install compiz | 02:26 |
| toothe | okay, would anyone help me here for money? | 02:26 |
| ZH__ | how much> | 02:26 |
| toothe | $50 ? | 02:26 |
| Dr_Willis | blackmatrix_ny: you could use stuff like conky, or indicator applets to get temp readouts | 02:27 |
| lotuspsychje | morning to all ubuntu lovers :p | 02:27 |
| eamagoo | I need some help installing ubuntu on my new notebook, tried 12.04lts and 13.04 both result in black screen | 02:27 |
| iamagrenade | hi all | 02:27 |
| owdjaodopj | I'm trying to play counter-strike on linux instead of windows... and the game aspect ratio is messed up... it's streching across the entire screen versus with blackbars? Is this a launch command or an ubuntu setting? | 02:27 |
| Dr_Willis | !nomodeset | eamagoo | 02:27 |
| ubottu | eamagoo: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 02:27 |
| blackmatrix_ny | Dr_Willis, THnx. Any indicator applets you would recommend ? | 02:27 |
| lotuspsychje | !details | eamagoo | 02:27 |
| ubottu | eamagoo: 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 ..." | 02:27 |
| Dr_Willis | blackmatrix_ny: theres a list of them at askubuntu.com search for indicator applet list, and sort by votes - but it may be outdated | 02:27 |
| lotuspsychje | !info indicator-multiload | blackmatrix_ny | 02:28 |
| ubottu | blackmatrix_ny: indicator-multiload (source: indicator-multiload): Graphical system load indicator for CPU, ram, etc.. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.3-0ubuntu1 (raring), package size 179 kB, installed size 1398 kB | 02:28 |
| legg1 | Anyone know if there's a way to install ubuntu(xfce) without EFI? keep getting mounting-error during partitioning/install in /boot/efi | 02:28 |
| Dr_Willis | blackmatrix_ny: there may be others in the repos also | 02:28 |
| blackmatrix_ny | Great. Thanks a lot guys. | 02:28 |
| lotuspsychje | !steam | owdjaodopj | 02:29 |
| ubottu | owdjaodopj: Valve have officially announced that they are developing Steam and are working with !ubuntu during their development, see http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/steamd-penguins/ for further details, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve for install instructions, you can also join #ubuntu-steam for discussion. | 02:29 |
| Dr_Willis | !uefi | 02:29 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 02:29 |
| lotuspsychje | owdjaodopj: is your graphics card driver installed correctly? | 02:31 |
| iamagrenade | I'm struggling with a unique problem. I have a Dell laptop that has a Broadcom BCM4315 wireless controller. It works with ubuntu 8.10, but after upgrading all the way to 12.04- it refuses to work. The controller is identified in dmesg. This seems to be a common problem, but none of the suggestions I found worked. So, I'm using my 8.10 livecd, and was hoping someone could suggest a way to upgrade while keeping the proper package inst | 02:31 |
| owdjaodopj | it's an intel onboard gpu | 02:31 |
| Senlis | every time I install bumblebee, I get one monitor (instead of the three hooked up to the monitor). The resolution is 1920x1080, but it doesn't fill the entire screen | 02:31 |
| owdjaodopj | on windows there's black bars when i play | 02:32 |
| Senlis | plus, the nvidia-settings gives me the classic message "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver….run nvidia-xconfig" | 02:33 |
| wheatthin | Senlis, so run it as root | 02:34 |
| legg1 | I've had nothing but problems with nvidia drivers, since 13.x releases :S | 02:34 |
| Senlis | same thing. When I run nvidia-xconfig, it says the command does not exist | 02:35 |
| legg1 | cant remember the last time an install actually worked properly | 02:35 |
| legg1 | apt-get install nvidia-xconfig | 02:35 |
| eamagoo | ubottu I read the link you send me, I know that screen, the purple one with the keyboard but I cant see it! Alway black, I try disabling uefi, securebot, etc but always the same, the cd reads a lot of time but nothing on video, also try to change the tty but nothing | 02:35 |
| ubottu | eamagoo: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:35 |
| Senlis | unable to locate nvidia-xconfig | 02:35 |
| lotuspsychje | owdjaodopj: maybe this can help you? http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3097580 | 02:36 |
| Senlis | I'm going to try re-installing the nvidia drivers after I have installed bumblebee | 02:36 |
| === Quark is now known as Guest36269 | ||
| lotuspsychje | legg1: did you install nvidia-current? | 02:36 |
| legg1 | tried yeah, same crap | 02:37 |
| legg1 | tried god knows how many guides | 02:37 |
| lotuspsychje | legg1: plz keep it familly friendly mate | 02:37 |
| YokoBR | guys, how can i make a file be read by all users, but only root can change it? | 02:37 |
| Senlis | I was using the additional drivers, though I have tried many other guides too | 02:37 |
| eamagoo | The notebook is a Lenovo G480 | 02:37 |
| lotuspsychje | !chmod | YokoBR | 02:37 |
| ubottu | YokoBR: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 02:37 |
| YokoBR | tip: my user is the owner, but my user shouldn't change it also | 02:37 |
| === Guest36269 is now known as vrrm | ||
| YokoBR | i know, but the problem is that i'm the owner.. so even if i give me no permission, i can change it again | 02:38 |
| lotuspsychje | legg1: graphics card chipset, ubuntu version? driver loaded? | 02:38 |
| Senlis | legg1 was responding to one of my questions :) | 02:39 |
| wheatthin | YokoBR, just give it no permissions and then chmod +r | 02:39 |
| YokoBR | sorry, but what is your problem, legg1? | 02:39 |

| legg1 | V3-771 laptop, Intel i7 apu + 730M Nvidia. XUbuntu 13.04, Ubuntu 13.04, and some others | 02:39 |
| legg1 | same problems all around | 02:39 |
| ryanvade | Hello. | 02:39 |
| legg1 | with drivers from nvidia.com, nvidia-current, etc | 02:39 |
| Senlis | I have a NVIDIA 670, ubuntu version 13.04, driver was loaded and working, except that it would freeze after about 30 seconds | 02:39 |
| Senlis | sorry, I guess legg1 was having nvidia problems | 02:39 |
| ryanvade | Has anyone worked with 3.12-rc3 on 13.04? | 02:40 |
| Dr_Willis | !find nvidia-config | 02:40 |
| ubottu | File nvidia-config found in cairo-dock-plug-ins-data | 02:40 |
| legg1 | But main problem right now, is the EFI being awful. just wont mount it, in manual or auto partitioning | 02:40 |
| Mr_Wizard | Senlis; have u run update after installing ubuntu 13? | 02:40 |
| Dr_Willis | !find nvidia-settings | 02:40 |
| ubottu | Found: nvidia-settings, nvidia-settings-304, nvidia-settings-304-updates, nvidia-settings-experimental-304, nvidia-settings-313-updates | 02:40 |
| lotuspsychje | legg1: what kind of 'problems' are we talking about? | 02:41 |
| Dr_Willis | !find nvidia-xconfig | 02:41 |
| ubottu | File nvidia-xconfig found in nvidia-173, nvidia-304, nvidia-304-updates, nvidia-310, nvidia-310-updates, nvidia-313-updates | 02:41 |
| Senlis | Mr_Wizard, I ran distro-update, but it didn't do anything | 02:41 |
| legg1 | lotuspsychje: EFI one? Just doesnt mount /boot/efi during installation, then prompts me to go fix it in the partitioner, in which case there's nothing to fix | 02:41 |
| YokoBR | wheatthin, i've done that.. Well, there's a video cfg file that when i start Left 4 Dead 2 it changes automatically the 'antialias' part to 2, and it should stay 1. | 02:42 |
| Dr_Willis | legg1: so there is a small partion at the start of the drive for the efi stuff to use? | 02:42 |
| YokoBR | so i want to make it stay as 1, and nobody could change it, even me. | 02:42 |
| lotuspsychje | YokoBR: plz read the url i triggered to you about permissions | 02:43 |
| legg1 | Dr_Willis: Yeah, there's the 500mb EFI partition | 02:43 |
| YokoBR | ok, thanks | 02:43 |
| Mr_Wizard | Senlis; try running update manager | 02:43 |
| Dr_Willis | legg1: well thats the extent of my efi skills ;) my pcs are all too old | 02:43 |
| legg1 | Feel lucky. EFI made things unnecessarily troublesome | 02:43 |
| Dr_Willis | legg1: what filesystem is the partition? | 02:44 |
| lotuspsychje | Dr_Willis: same here :p got an old x800 running 13.04 | 02:44 |
| legg1 | Dr_Willis: Think it was fat32 for efi, and ext4 for the rest | 02:44 |
| Dr_Willis | legg1: sounds right to me. | 02:44 |
| lotuspsychje | legg1: what was default Os on your laptop? | 02:44 |
| Senlis | Mr_Wizard: my system was updated before, but now I enabled Pre-released updates. should I install them? | 02:44 |
| Kasaak | hi guys | 02:45 |
| lotuspsychje | Kasaak: welcome, what can we do for you? | 02:45 |
| legg1 | lotuspsychje: Windows 8 | 02:45 |
| Kasaak | just trying to install ubuntu 13,04 from usb drive | 02:45 |
| Mr_Wizard | Senlis; is ther update for kernel? | 02:45 |
| wheatthin | Senlis, pre-released are cutting edge, and most often times will have bus | 02:45 |
| lotuspsychje | legg1: i recently installed 13.04 on a win8 machine dull disk, and didnt have to change anything in bios about uefi... | 02:45 |
| lotuspsychje | legg1: worked out of the box! | 02:46 |
| legg1 | lotuspsychje: which is removed by the way. will have to try and disable uefi and burn another usbstick. see if i can boot it in legacy mode. | 02:46 |
| Senlis | Mr_Wizard: it has an update for Ubuntu base | 02:46 |
| Kasaak | and it stopped and has been stuck for a while | 02:46 |
| legg1 | lotuspsychje: You installed it next to win8? in that case, there's probably a ubuntu-folder in your C drive | 02:46 |
| lotuspsychje | Kasaak: at wich part mate? | 02:46 |
| lotuspsychje | legg1: no, i used full disk for ubuntu | 02:46 |
| legg1 | ah | 02:46 |
| Senlis | Mr_wizard: looks like there are some kernel updates contained | 02:46 |
| lotuspsychje | legg1: loose winblows once and for all mate :p | 02:47 |
| legg1 | lotuspsychje: obviously, as said, i've removed it completely. just never had this problem before 13.x versions | 02:47 |
| Mr_Wizard | Senlis; u can try that or try recommende updates first | 02:47 |
| Kasaak | well it says the first line: [Bug]: unable to handle kernel paging request at 0000000800000002 | 02:47 |
| Kasaak | and says some messages | 02:48 |
| Kasaak | lol | 02:48 |
| Senlis | Mr_Wizard: I have all the recommended updates, so I'll try the pre-release. The only way I can break the computer more is if there isn't a display anymore :) | 02:48 |
| Kasaak | i would be cool to show you a picture | 02:48 |
| iamagrenade | Is there a way to lock a certain package so it doesn't change during an upgrade? My wifi works on 8.10 but not any version after that. | 02:48 |
| lotuspsychje | Kasaak: at wich part of the setup, is it freezing? | 02:48 |
| legg1 | Sweet, critical error while trying to install bootloader. | 02:48 |
| lotuspsychje | !8.04 | iamagrenade | 02:49 |
| ubottu | iamagrenade: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on May 12 2011, Server support ended on May 9th 2013. See http://ubottu.com/y/hardy for more details. | 02:49 |
| Kasaak | the beggining i think, didn't even load the usb, i mean... there's this black screen and full of white text | 02:49 |
| lotuspsychje | iamagrenade: what chipset a,d did you try install 13.04? | 02:49 |
| Kasaak | just restarted my pc, booted from usb | 02:49 |
| iamagrenade | lotuspsychje: it's broadcom 4315 | 02:50 |
| Kasaak | didn't even load graphic live cd to choose if i want to install or try | 02:50 |

| ubottu | iamagrenade: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 02:50 |
| lotuspsychje | Kasaak: wich ubuntu version? is it older system or rather new? | 02:51 |
| Kasaak | its a new notebook (samsung np550p5c) trying to install ubuntu 13.04 | 02:52 |
| lotuspsychje | iamagrenade: with installing firmware, your wifi should work | 02:52 |
| iamagrenade | thanks, i'll try this. much appreciated. | 02:52 |
| lotuspsychje | iamagrenade: np mate! | 02:52 |
| lotuspsychje | Kasaak: so you seeing the part of setup you can choose livecd or install? | 02:53 |
| Senlis | do you think Nvidia will ever release drivers that are easy to use? | 02:53 |
| Kasaak | nope | 02:53 |
| lotuspsychje | Kasaak: hmm.. did you change bios to usb first boot? | 02:54 |
| Senlis | are ATI drivers any easier? | 02:54 |
| Mr_Wizard | Senlis; did u upgrade your ubuntu or fresh install? | 02:54 |
| Senlis | fresh install | 02:54 |
| Kasaak | yes | 02:54 |
| Senlis | i'm thinking it would be worth buying an ATI card to replace my NVIDIA one | 02:54 |
| lotuspsychje | Senlis: what driver did ubuntu use for default install? | 02:55 |
| Kasaak | restarted pc, i see purple screen says ubuntu | 02:55 |
| Senlis | I installed the pre-release updates. I'm still getting a black border around my screen and it is only displaying on 1 of 3 monitors | 02:55 |
| lotuspsychje | Kasaak: then after that? | 02:55 |
| Kasaak | loading bar, then restarts | 02:55 |
| lotuspsychje | Kasaak: whats default Os of your laptop? | 02:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Kasaak: try the text mode or nomodeset option at the grub menu | 02:55 |
| Kasaak | then black screen white writing | 02:55 |
| Senlis | is it possibly because one of my screens is connected through HDMI, I remember seeing that bumblebee has some problems with HDMI | 02:55 |
| Kasaak | same mesaage | 02:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Senlis: yep. i saw someoine in here the othe rday with similer issues | 02:56 |
| Kasaak | might it be a wrong copy of the iso content to the usb drive? | 02:56 |
| Senlis | lets see what happens when I remove the monitor connected thru HDMI | 02:56 |
| Kasaak | ill try making the bootable usb again | 02:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Senlis: black border can be overscan settings also | 02:56 |
| lotuspsychje | Kasaak: dont think so, try what Dr_Willis advices you | 02:56 |
| Senlis | where are the overscan settings? | 02:57 |
| Dr_Willis | !nomodeset | Kasaak | 02:57 |
| ubottu | Kasaak: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 02:57 |
| Mr_Wizard | Senlis; when was first time it crash? | 02:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Senlis: in the nvidia-settings tool i recall | 02:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Senlis: or in the monitors menus/settings | 02:57 |
| Senlis | Mr_Wizard: I properly installed the NVIDIA drivers by: | 02:58 |
| Senlis | sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-source-headers | 02:58 |
| Senlis | sudo apt-get install linux-libc-dev | 02:58 |
| Senlis | and then using the additional drivers | 02:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Senlis: i thought you were using bumblebee> | 02:59 |
| Kasaak | wow, now booted, weird, didnd do anything | 02:59 |
| Kasaak | just restarted | 02:59 |
| Senlis | those were my steps before bumblebee | 02:59 |
| Kasaak | but it says that doesnt detect any os in the hdd | 02:59 |
| Kasaak | and thats not true | 03:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Senlis: i dont think you install the nvidia drivers THEN instal bumblebee.. You just instgall bumblebee and it sets it all up | 03:00 |
| Senlis | I got all three monitors working, and the computer ran with great performance. Then , after 30 approx seconds the computer would crash | 03:00 |
| Kasaak | i've w7 | 03:00 |
| Senlis | Dr_Willis: should I try purging nvidia and bumblebee and then install bumblebee? | 03:00 |
| lotuspsychje | Kasaak: plz try the nomodeset Dr_Willis has adviced you | 03:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Senlis: no idea really now :) i dont use bumbleebee at all. | 03:00 |
| legg1 | weird, debian installs just fine with efi | 03:01 |
| lotuspsychje | Senlis: 3 screens...on what graphics card? | 03:01 |
| Senlis | geforce 670 | 03:01 |
| Dr_Willis | id cut down to 1 monitor - for testing also. | 03:01 |
| lotuspsychje | Senlis: did you play with xrandr? | 03:01 |
| Kasaak | lotuspsychje, but it booted, it lets me choose if i want to install or try | 03:02 |
| Senlis | lotuspsychje: no, i've never had much luck with xrandr | 03:02 |
| Kasaak | and when i go to files, and choose my hdd it says that its not authorizes to perform operation | 03:02 |
| Kasaak | authorized* | 03:02 |
| lotuspsychje | Kasaak: i know, but like Dr_Willis advices you should try a setup with lower settings to test.. | 03:02 |
| Kasaak | ook | 03:03 |

| CrazyZurfer | to install ubuntu, I've to disable AHCI? | 03:25 |
| legg1 | Think only windows is annoyed with disabling/enabling ahci | 03:26 |
| CrazyZurfer | legg1: so, it doesn't matter? | 03:27 |
| legg1 | shouldnt matter. i've never disabled ahci for ubuntu | 03:28 |
| Dr_Willis | i think if you install with it on or off.. you may need to keep it on or off.. and not switch later | 03:28 |
| Dr_Willis | i seem to recall that issue - ages ago. it may no longer be an issue | 03:28 |
| legg1 | what Dr_Willis, dont flick the switch AFTER install. | 03:28 |
| Dr_Willis | best to not flick :) from whast i recall | 03:29 |

| zykotick9 | serapath: perhaps you should share, what isn't working? | 03:39 |
| legg1 | serapath: lspci | 03:40 |
| legg1 | should list everything you got | 03:40 |
| zykotick9 | legg1: well, that will list the PCI devices... | 03:41 |
| Senlis | I installed bumblebee on a fresh install of Ubuntu and now my OS won't boot :( | 03:41 |
| legg1 | zykotick9: i get graphics, sound, networking etc, with lspci | 03:41 |
| zykotick9 | legg1: yes, your PCI devices ;) | 03:41 |
| legg1 | zykotick9: not much else around though. unless he's installed some expansioncards, in which case it would be pretty clear what is missing ^^ | 03:42 |
| zykotick9 | serapath: actually lshw might be better (not something i use personally) | 03:42 |
| CrazyZurfer | well | 03:42 |
| CrazyZurfer | when trying to install it doesn't recognize my current OS | 03:43 |
| CrazyZurfer | says i don't have any previous OS in the hard drive | 03:43 |
| zykotick9 | legg1: also be aware that may not show things lacking drivers currently | 03:43 |
| reisio | CrazyZurfer: what makes you think there's a current OS? | 03:45 |
| zykotick9 | legg1: there is also lsusb and lscpu | 03:45 |
| CrazyZurfer | reisio: Because I can run W7? | 03:46 |
| CrazyZurfer | reisio: I've got W7 already installed | 03:46 |

| CrazyZurfer | Paulus68_1: what is diagnostigs, is it a microsoft's software? | 04:04 |
| reisio | toothe: what's the problem? | 04:04 |
| Paulus68_1 | CrazyZurfer: when possible to a reinstall of win8 or win 7 and during install remove all the partitions, | 04:04 |
| toothe | reisio: I'm trying to install Ubuntu Server, and I cannot get past the RAID part. | 04:04 |
| toothe | reisio: Let me start from the beginning. | 04:04 |
| toothe | I have 2 TB HD's that I want to install Linux on, RAID 1 | 04:04 |
| reisio | toothe: what do you want raid for | 04:04 |
| toothe | data backup and redundancy | 04:05 |
| toothe | reisio: So, my understanding is that you can do whole-disk raid, correct? | 04:05 |
| reisio | that isn't what raid is for | 04:05 |
| toothe | I want RAID 1, if that answers the question... | 04:05 |
| CrazyZurfer | Paulus68_1: I've deleted all partitions, even samsung's recovery | 04:05 |
| reisio | you can do a number of things with raid, but none of them are for backups | 04:05 |
| legg1 | closest would be mirroring ^^ | 04:05 |
| toothe | wrong word, pardon the usage of that word. I meant to say MIrroring, RAID 1 | 04:06 |
| Paulus68_1 | CrazyZurfer: when you are in your windows explorer right click on your hardrive and then click properties go to the second tab tools and there you have error checking and defragmantation | 04:06 |
| reisio | toothe: what do you want that for? | 04:06 |
| toothe | reisio: If one HD blows up, the second is still functional. | 04:06 |
| CrazyZurfer | Paulus68_1: Ok, i'll try | 04:06 |
| reisio | toothe: that's not really how it works | 04:06 |
| toothe | reisio: But, I cnanot get past the installation of the HD's. | 04:06 |
| toothe | reisio: ...yes it is... | 04:06 |
| reisio | nope | 04:06 |
| legg1 | it's exactly what it's for ;o | 04:06 |
| CrazyZurfer | I'll be back soon | 04:06 |
| legg1 | failsafe incase a drive breaks | 04:07 |
| toothe | exactly. | 04:07 |
| legg1 | replace it, rebuild, no dataloss | 04:07 |
| toothe | legg1: Exactly. | 04:07 |
| toothe | so, te installation guide tells me to do something that does not work. | 04:07 |
| toothe | the installation guide tells me to make a RAID drive bootable, but that option is not possible. | 04:07 |
| legg1 | unfortunately i've never used software raid via the OS, only via raidcontroller, so dont know about that :/ | 04:08 |
| toothe | gah, I don't know where to begin... | 04:08 |
| Dr_Willis | sure its not saying to use the bios and select the raid drive as the boot device? | 04:08 |
| toothe | so, during the install, I go to Manual configuration of the partition. | 04:08 |
| legg1 | cant you turn the controller into a raid-controller in the bios, and build the mirror there? should show up as a normal disk and easily make it bootable | 04:08 |
| Dr_Willis | i dident think the boot flag mattered to grub or ubuntu | 04:09 |

| Dr_Willis | tinycorelinux = 35mb | 04:13 |
| Shabrawy | i want to install it on thin clint | 04:13 |
| reisio | thin client doesn't mean 30MB | 04:13 |
| legg1 | http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ 50mb | 04:13 |
| Shabrawy | ya but it only with 32 MB flash | 04:14 |
| Shabrawy | i got alot of them | 04:14 |
| reisio | that's a ridiculous, fantastical constraint | 04:14 |
| Dr_Willis | microcore linux = 10mb | 04:14 |
| Shabrawy | ok that's cool | 04:14 |
| reisio | well glue them to your floor and you'll have done something useful with them | 04:14 |
| legg1 | Linux 0.1 was what, 800kb or something? | 04:14 |
| Shabrawy | hhhhhhhhhhh | 04:14 |
| Shabrawy | the other porbose | 04:15 |
| Dr_Willis | i thought a thin client could do netboots from a server | 04:15 |
| Shabrawy | ya it can | 04:16 |
| Shabrawy | but i don't know what kind of solutions to use for this | 04:16 |
| Shabrawy | the mail problem is i want pcoip support | 04:16 |
| Shabrawy | on small os | 04:16 |
| legg1 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto this for example | 04:17 |
| spinningcompass | ah, the heady days of 32KB operating systems | 04:17 |
| Dr_Willis | back to work on my RaspberryPi 'super computer' with 512mb of ram. | 04:18 |
| legg1 | haha | 04:18 |
| Dr_Willis | ;) | 04:18 |
| spinningcompass | Shabrawy: There's always Puppy Dog Linux. It's rather small… 300MB? 400MB of disk usage maybe? | 04:18 |
| Shabrawy | ya i've downloaded it | 04:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Puppy Linux is a very very weird linux in many ways | 04:18 |
| Shabrawy | but it dosn't support pcoip | 04:19 |
| Dr_Willis | no idea wht pcoip even is. | 04:19 |
| Shabrawy | pcoip it a protocol for DVI | 04:19 |
| Shabrawy | used in vmware view | 04:20 |
| Shabrawy | it has alot good stuff | 04:20 |
| Shabrawy | flash compressing | 04:20 |
| Shabrawy | in rdp | 04:20 |
| Shabrawy | the p | 04:20 |
| Shabrawy | the streaming looks like fuzzy | 04:21 |
| Shabrawy | but in pcoip it dosn't | 04:21 |
| KxTwo | ok probably a DUMB question. I am using 12.04lts. On other distros there is a places menu that allows me to ssh into other machines. How do I do that here? | 04:28 |
| Dr_Willis | so you are doing all this work for watching videos on a thin client? | 04:28 |
| Dr_Willis | KxTwo: theres a connect to server.. item in the nautilus menus | 04:29 |
| toothe | Oes Ubuntu's installer have fdisk anywhere? I can't seem tof in dit. | 04:29 |
| Dr_Willis | KxTwo: i also use the 'sshfs' tool a lot for mounting ssh servers to a local directory | 04:29 |
| reisio | toothe: might have been replaced by gdisk/gptfdisk/gfdisk, but I doubt it | 04:29 |
| Dr_Willis | toothe: fdisk is considered a bit out dated these days with gpt drives and so forth | 04:30 |
| reisio | or even parted | 04:30 |
| Dr_Willis | ther should be cfdisk also | 04:30 |
| KxTwo | Dr_Willis, I use it to connect to my school server so I can can move around more easily. I like to have that open with a shell for compiling and it seems to work well fo rme. | 04:30 |
| toothe | I don't see any of those in myoptions... | 04:30 |
| Dr_Willis | KxTwo: i just open a terminak and ssh to the server. ;) no need for a menu | 04:30 |
| Dr_Willis | toothe: cfdisk is a cli tool | 04:30 |
| reisio | toothe: options? | 04:30 |
| KxTwo | no need for a menu? | 04:30 |
| Dr_Willis | KxTwo: i ssh to my server fr a shell, or use sshfs to access files | 04:31 |
| toothe | reisio: in my /bin or /bin | 04:31 |
| KxTwo | Oh while I am here. Everytime I have updates it crashes if I click on install updates, I have to SHOW updates then install for some reason? | 04:31 |
| toothe | sory, /sbin | 04:31 |
| toothe | wow, surely there's an fdisk option somewhere here.. | 04:31 |
| Dr_Willis | !find fdisk | 04:31 |
| ubottu | Found: acorn-fdisk, amiga-fdisk-cross, gnu-fdisk | 04:31 |
| Dr_Willis | sudo apt-get install gnu-fdisk | 04:31 |
| legg1 | gj :p | 04:32 |
| reisio | parted is better anyways | 04:32 |
| toothe | Dr_Willis: I'm in the installer, which doesn't have apt-get. | 04:32 |
| toothe | the installer's console. | 04:32 |
| KxTwo | ok is there a way I can pin the connect to server to the unity bar or somethign? It is actually a hassle to get to it if I have windows open | 04:33 |
| Dr_Willis | toothe: no idea then. desktop live cd. lets me. | 04:33 |
| toothe | yah, this is getting crazy. | 04:33 |
| Dr_Willis | KxTwo: you could make a quicklist for the terminal icon if you wanted. or make a gnome-terminal session that starts up the ssh connection | 04:33 |
| AlonzoTG | Is it possible to ___FORCE___ Ubuntu to attempt to connect to a selected wireless network? I can't find an option to connect to anything anywere. | 04:34 |
| === Alagar2 is now known as Guest57244 | ||
| AlonzoTG | I can see networks alright but there is no menu item to connect to any of them. | 04:34 |
| KxTwo | ok this is disappionting, the older versions had this set up better. | 04:34 |
| KxTwo | Though I heard that 13.04 has "places" again | 04:34 |
| Dr_Willis | AlonzoTG: you could alwyas try the cli tools. or try the connect to hidden network. | 04:34 |
| AlonzoTG | It's not hidden. | 04:34 |
| AlonzoTG | It's listed in the menu, | 04:35 |
| AlonzoTG | I can edit it. | 04:35 |
| toothe | can Icall someone her? | 04:35 |
| Dr_Willis | KxTwo: theres always indicator applets to get some of that stuff | 04:35 |
| AlonzoTG | I can set a password, | 04:35 |
| FloodBot1 | AlonzoTG: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:35 |
| AlonzoTG | BUT i CA'NT CONNECT TO THE GODDAMNED MOTHERFUCKING THING!!!! | 04:35 |
| Dr_Willis | AlonzoTG: and you can still try the hidden menu thing even if its seen | 04:35 |
| KxTwo | I would just edit with nano but havent figured out how to get syntax highlighting working lol | 04:36 |
| Dr_Willis | KxTwo: i recall some indicaor applets that had lists of ssh servers you can connect to. | 04:36 |
| Dr_Willis | KxTwo: what are you doing exactly - accessing files on the remote as if they were local files or needing a shell? | 04:36 |
| KxTwo | Dr_Willis, just accessing my project files and editing them. | 04:37 |
| Dr_Willis | KxTwo: you could use sshfs and mount the server to a local folder when you login. | 04:37 |
| KxTwo | no need to get crazy | 04:37 |
| Dr_Willis | its a better solution in many ways then what you are doing | 04:38 |
| KxTwo | this seems to work fine | 04:38 |
| KxTwo | not really sure what makes it that much better | 04:38 |
| Dr_Willis | sshfs works with any apps. cli, gnome, or whatever can access a local file. the apps cant tell the differance.. You can set the mount at boot time, or when you login, you dont even NEED to login if you set it to mount them at boot.. you can use it from the cli/console/ssh only | 04:39 |
| Dr_Willis | plus it works with any of the desktops, or window managers | 04:40 |
| reisio | sshfs is indeed nice and straightforward | 04:40 |
| reisio | and even secure | 04:40 |
| Dr_Willis | nautilus and its .gvfs stuff can be.. picky at times. ;) | 04:40 |
| fishcooker | i've box that user should enter passphrase before mounting the root partition .. i think lvm encrypted.. how to disable this feature | 04:41 |
| Dr_Willis | hmm.. the root partion has to be mounted when the system boots. so somthing seems weird there fishcooker | 04:41 |
| Dr_Willis | you mean it asks at boot up? | 04:42 |
| OY1R | just installed 12.04, it boots up to cli, how do i set it up to start x at boot. | 04:42 |
| Dr_Willis | OY1R: you installed the servver or desktop edition? | 04:43 |
| OY1R | desktop. | 04:43 |
| OY1R | unity is installed, but i have to login and startx manually. | 04:44 |
| Dr_Willis | try 'sudo service lightdm restart' and see if it starts x | 04:44 |
| Dr_Willis | err.. startx is not installed by defaukt i thought any more. unity is, | 04:44 |
| Dr_Willis | lightdm is set to start by default on a normal ubuntu install | 04:45 |
| OY1R | yea i start unity with startx | 04:45 |
| serapath | leggl lspci? zykotick9 lots of stuff, but obviously the graphic card doesnt work, but also the wireless lan cannot connect to wlans on channel 11+ | 04:45 |
| Dr_Willis | OY1R: try 'sudo service lightdm restart' and see if it starts x | 04:46 |
| Dr_Willis | or sudo service lightdm start | 04:46 |
| OY1R | that killed unity, now it's just blinking _ _ | 04:46 |
| OY1R | i had unity running but manually with startx after reboot. | 04:47 |
| serapath | ;eggl zykotick9 also i dont have sound on youtube | 04:48 |
| serapath | legg1: | 04:48 |
| serapath | so: no 3d effects, no sound, no wlan > channel 11 | 04:48 |
| OY1R | ah maybe it did do the trick, i'm now getting the normal login (gui) | 04:48 |
| serapath | my notebook is slow as hell,even though its 2x2,5ghz+4gb RAM | 04:49 |
| Dr_Willis | restarting lightdm will kill off any current X session | 04:49 |
| Dr_Willis | and lightdm should start automatically by default. unless you are booting into Text mode, or recovery mode. or have disabled the service | 04:50 |

But how about separate servers.... samba server shared folder on the other unit and the ldap server in another unit? any ideas. | 05:19 |
| toothe | nope | 05:21 |
| toothe | I need to maket his fucking device bootable. | 05:22 |
| wilee-nilee | !language | toothe | 05:23 |
| ubottu | toothe: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 05:23 |
| Dr_Willis | and by that do you mean 'set the boot flag on the partition' ? or 'install grub to the mbr of the drive' | 05:23 |
| toothe | ubottu: I apologize... | 05:23 |
| toothe | Dr_Willis: A partition can be set as bootable. | 05:24 |
| toothe | however, for whatever odd reason, this device is not bootlab.e | 05:24 |
| Dr_Willis | 'set as bootable' in your terms means you want to set the boot flag? | 05:24 |
| toothe | yes. | 05:25 |
| Dr_Willis | I do belive that in linux and grub. the bootflag is a meaningless and ignored flag. Which is why im asking in such clear terms. | 05:26 |
| toothe | Dr_Willis: So, I am unable to install grub on /dev/sda | 05:26 |
| toothe | I do not know why. | 05:26 |
| toothe | Dr_Willis: So, I am trying to install grub and I receive an eror during the install stating that grub cannot be installed. | 05:28 |
| toothe | Dr_Willis: do I need to have free space at the beginning of the drive for grub to write on? | 05:28 |
| toothe | perhaps that's the issue? | 05:28 |
| Dr_Willis | so the install finishes. and then the final steps of grub setup. it mentions an error | 05:29 |
| Dr_Willis | grub files go into /boot/ and grub bootloader goes onto the MBR of the drive | 05:29 |
| toothe | it does...let me regenerate the error. | 05:29 |
| Dr_Willis | You Might want to try the boot-repair tool from a live-cd. I dont know how smart it is when dealing with raid | 05:29 |

| Paulus68_1 | toothe: you stated earlier that you are not able to install Grub on /dev/sda now you are talking about sdb? or am I wrong here | 05:35 |
| serapath | i'm already beginning to dislike ubuntu again :-( | 05:36 |
| serapath | no sound, no 3d, wifi issues | 05:36 |
| serapath | and lack of knowledge how to open programs through hotkeys or how to customize my desktop | 05:37 |
| Dr_Willis | http://askubuntu.com/questions/43036/how-do-i-install-grub-on-a-raid-system-installation mentions several possible work arounds.. but i dont know what ones woukld apply to you toothe | 05:37 |
| Dr_Willis | 'lack of knowledge' is always an issue. but fixable. ;) | 05:37 |
| Dr_Willis | !manual | 05:37 |
| ubottu | 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/ | 05:37 |
| Paulus68_1 | serapath: everybody needs to learn | 05:37 |
| Dr_Willis | as for the rest.. that may be harder | 05:38 |
| serapath | Paulus68_1: yeah sure, if i run windows, i have sound,have 3d, have no wifi issues | 05:38 |
| Paulus68_1 | serapath: as for the wifi can you run sudo lshw>lshw.txt | 05:38 |
| * Dr_Willis has had more sound, wifi, and 3d issues on windows ... ;) | 05:38 | |
| serapath | Paulus68_1: wifi works, but it doesnt work on channel > 11 ...but i just changed my router to use channel 8 now, so its ok now, but no sound and no 3d is awful | 05:39 |
| OY1R | my only major beef with Ubuntu is the switch to unity. other than that it's great. | 05:39 |
| Dr_Willis | lspci command can also tell us the wifi chipset. whioch will be a critical bit of info to get wifi going | 05:39 |
| Dr_Willis | OY1R: and how long have you been using unity now? | 05:40 |
| OY1R | i dont. | 05:40 |
| OY1R | i'm on 10.04 | 05:40 |
| Paulus68_1 | serapath: also lshw can inform you which driver you need to install for sound and 3D | 05:40 |
| Dr_Willis | so your only beef is with somthing that aparently you have never used. ;) | 05:40 |
| tech2 | Hi all, I just upgraded to saucy and one of the ppas I was using isn't available. But that's ok since saucy provides a version sufficient to cover my needs. However, the ppa provided a version 0.005 later than the ubuntu release, so it's not just a matter of apt-get upgrade. How do I force apt to install the ubuntu version without uninstalling entirely (since it's a dep of ubuntu-minimal)? | 05:40 |
| OY1R | Dr_Willis, i tried it, but went back. | 05:41 |
| tech2 | I guess I'd also prefer avoiding pinning it to a particular version if possible? | 05:41 |
| serapath | Paulus68_1: lots of stuff in that file | 05:41 |
| Dr_Willis | tech2: you dont want to force the system to use a ppa thats for a differnt release. the ppa should get updated i imagine when 13.10 gets finalized | 05:41 |
| Paulus68_1 | serapath: try to locate your sound card | 05:41 |
| tech2 | Dr_Willis: perhaps it will, but I don't need the ppa at all any more (ubuntu proper provides a version with the requisite functionality), how do I revert to the ubuntu-provided package? | 05:42 |
| Dr_Willis | !ppa-purge | 05:42 |
| ubottu | To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 05:42 |
| Dr_Willis | actually if you upgraded. the ppa may have allready been disabled and purged | 05:42 |
| Dr_Willis | but i guess you can try to purge it manually | 05:43 |

| Dr_Willis | heh - i always 'find' answers on the archlinux wiki also. | 05:54 |
| serapath | sounds as if it works with arch | 05:54 |
| Dr_Willis | often the answers can be used on ubuntu | 05:54 |
| Xeeshu | Morning! | 05:54 |
| Hundred | howdy :) | 05:54 |
| Dr_Willis | but its weird that intel stuff is not working. normally Intel hardware is very problem free | 05:54 |
| serapath | i have no 3d | 05:55 |
| serapath | this is one of the things i hate most | 05:56 |
| serapath | drivers not working | 05:56 |
| Dr_Willis | thers only 3 questions in total about the ideapad g580 on askubuntu.com | 05:56 |
| serapath | this is the single most important issue that always made me go back to windows | 05:56 |
| serapath | and i'm already thinking about just uninstalling ubuntu and go back to win7 | 05:56 |
| serapath | win7 works like a charm | 05:57 |
| Dr_Willis | intel does have their 'latest drivers installer tool' at that 01.org site i recall. and theres the xorg edgers ppa. | 05:57 |
| OY1R | serapath, i feel your pain, just hang on in there. | 05:57 |
| serapath | every time i try ubuntu, which is maybe every 12 to 24 months.... its the same sad experience | 05:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm. This guys G580 has a differnt wireless card then what you said you had above. | 05:58 |
| serapath | for example, in windows i have the hardware manager displaying all my hardware and wether it has the newest drivers installed or whether there is a problem with it | 05:58 |
| serapath | why is there not such a thing in ubuntu? or is there? | 05:58 |
| Dr_Willis | the drivers are normally all built into the kernel. so its actualy only a few cases that you update just the 'drivers' | 05:58 |
| Dr_Willis | totally differnt design philsoply then how wondows does it | 05:59 |
| OY1R | iirc the hardware manager in Windows shows what hardware is installed based on the drivers installed. | 05:59 |
| serapath | even if it hadnt all the drivers, at least i would know what to look for and when it works... second: i cant install chrome from the software center, same with brackets, same with sublime.. i could do it with apt-get, but then i only can start it from console and its not added to my "shortcut bar" | 05:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive definatly had the windows hardware manager be brain dead. "insert driver disk for 'generic pci wireless card'" great. ;) | 06:00 |
| gulag2013 | chrome no , chromium-browser is in the software center | 06:00 |
| serapath | Dr_Willis: i had that too, but those times are gone since windows vista, stayed gone with win7 and havent come back with win8 | 06:00 |
| Dr_Willis | as for sublime. - the sublime faq. and i think the omgubuntu, and/or webupd8 blog site mention getting an icon launcher for it. | 06:00 |
| serapath | the last time that stuff occured was winXP | 06:00 |
| Dr_Willis | serapath: i had it happen with windows 7 just a few weeks ago. ;) | 06:01 |
| serapath | ok | 06:01 |
| Dr_Willis | but it was a very very cheap bit of hardware. ;) | 06:01 |
| serapath | is there another distribution that would more easily solve this automatically? | 06:01 |
| Dr_Willis | as for google chrome. I think you just go get the deb from the google homepage. and i normally do a 'sudo gdebi chrome.deb' and it sets it up | 06:01 |
| serapath | maybe linux mint_ | 06:01 |
| serapath | ? | 06:01 |
| Hundred | yeah mint is good | 06:02 |
| Dr_Willis | serapath: go try them and see. we cant keep track of all the other disretos | 06:02 |
| Hundred | serpawhat cpu you have? jw | 06:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Most intel drivers are built into the kernel and X with the open sourced drivers. so its unusual that intel hardwre has issues. | 06:02 |
| Hundred | like what kind if intel cpu? jw | 06:03 |
| Dr_Willis | if any other disrto was using the exact same kernel version, and exact same X version. i would expect the same issues. If its a kernel/X issue | 06:03 |

| Hundred | yeah serapath try out linux mint, you'll like it since it is more similar to windows, ubuntu is more similar to mac | 06:10 |
| serapath | Hundred: hahaha, ubuntu isnt similar to mac in the slightest. that's a joke, right? | 06:11 |
| Dr_Willis | i dont find ubuntu similer to mac at all. . ;) | 06:11 |
| Dr_Willis | and mint is more closer to the old gnome2 i belive. | 06:11 |

| OY1R | i installed mint 13 on my stationary pc. works great. | 06:12 |
| serapath | actually, what i currently miss the most is two things: 1. all drivers/hardware work out of the box, 2. awesome hotkeys for my GUI | 06:12 |
| Hundred | yeah its becoming really popular now for some reason | 06:12 |
| serapath | is there another popular distro beside ubuntu and mint? | 06:13 |
| serapath | that just work? | 06:13 |
| OY1R | i'd like Ubuntu on there but unity put me off, hence Mint. | 06:13 |
| serapath | ...or at least are supposed to just work? | 06:13 |
| OY1R | serapath, distro that just works is Ubuntu. (99% of the time) | 06:13 |
| Dr_Willis | from what ive been googling ubuntu just works on that g580 for most people | 06:13 |
| Dr_Willis | im finding very few people having issues with it | 06:14 |
| OY1R | more like >99.5% | 06:14 |
| Dr_Willis | but it could be theres differnt variants | 06:14 |
| serapath | OY1R cant be true, because during my life time, i tried ubuntu at least 6 times and always went back to windows. between each time,there was around 12 to 24 months | 06:14 |
| serapath | and it NEVER worked out of the box | 06:15 |
| Dr_Willis | go hit up disrtowatch and grab some iso's make some live usb's and test them out | 06:15 |
| serapath | so 99% is a joke too :-) its statistically impossible that i have so much bad luck | 06:15 |

| Dr_Willis | I did compile weechat on my raspberry-pi last week.. took the little thing like 2 hrs. | 06:35 |

| SoItBegins2 | And then the trackpad is redetected. But it's still a great pain, because the trackpad and keyboard are then offline for a span of up to a minute before the computer redetects it. | 06:42 |
| SoItBegins2 | Anyone have ideas on this? | 06:42 |
| Dr_Willis | SoItBegins2: has it done this in other disrtos also? from differnt live cds? | 06:43 |
| SoItBegins2 | I don't know about other distros, but it does not do it on Mac OS X 10.6. It did do it in the version of Ubuntu 11 I upgraded from. | 06:44 |
| Dr_Willis | id test it with a newer live cd if you can . if a 12.04 live cd has the same issues. that would point to a 12.04 kernel issue/bug. | 06:45 |
| Dr_Willis | if it works however. that would point to some odd quirk with the upgrade process | 06:45 |

| mihir_ | what tool is used by ubuntu to do the software update, does it use wget to download the files in background? | 06:52 |
| Dr_Willis | if all those have the same issue. Id then try a radically differnt disrto like Fedora or arch | 06:52 |
| Dr_Willis | mihir_: i think it uses curl. do a 'ps ax' and see whts running as it downloads somthing | 06:52 |

| Dr_Willis | or it is just revovering faster | 07:00 |
| Dr_Willis | recovering | 07:00 |
| SoItBegins2 | Well, the ribbon cable problem doesn't recover until you 'unplug' and 'replug' it, which is what the cable is. | 07:00 |
| Dr_Willis | i mean the os sees and reloads/resets the hardware driver or whatever faster when it sees it disconnect/reconnect | 07:01 |
| SoItBegins2 | If I'm reading the log right, I think this is a software problem where the trackpad driver zones out and then catches itself. | 07:01 |

| gordonjcp | heh | 07:29 |
| gordonjcp | that's pretty fail, right enough | 07:29 |
| gordonjcp | try installing ubuntu-desktop | 07:29 |
| gordonjcp | it's a metapackage that ought to pull in all the deps | 07:29 |
| atossava | what I'm trying is to have a non-Unity non-Compiz desktop... | 07:29 |
| gordonjcp | and try not installing stuff when you don't quite understand what it is | 07:29 |
| gordonjcp | atossava: xubuntu-desktop, lubuntu-desktop | 07:30 |
| atossava | gordonjcp: that is generally good advice :) | 07:30 |
| atossava | Composite and nVidia hardware overlay don't play together, and I need the HW overlay for something | 07:30 |
| gordonjcp | ubuntu-desktop will pull in Unity, which is the standard desktop environment | 07:30 |
| atossava | yupyup | 07:30 |
| atossava | disabling Composite in xorg.conf makes Unity very unhappy :) | 07:30 |
| Dr_Willis | composite can normally be turned on and off on the fly i thought from most desktops | 07:31 |
| SoItBegins2 | This is interesting. When the keyboard fails, the backlight doesn't go out... | 07:31 |
| SoItBegins2 | but the little caps lock light DOES. | 07:31 |
| atossava | dr_willis: compiz doesn't survive without Composite | 07:32 |
| earthling_ | looks like the ubuntu-beginners channel got shut down | 07:32 |
| Dr_Willis | theres other compositing window managers out there that can turn it on/off on the fly. | 07:32 |
| atossava | dr_willis: perhaps so, but this is the default, and it's been OK for me until now | 07:32 |
| Dr_Willis | atossava: so what desktop/window manger do you want? ;) | 07:32 |
| atossava | dr_willis: I'm comfortable with anything. I guess I should go back to twm | 07:33 |
| atossava | mwm... 4Dwm | 07:33 |
| Dr_Willis | atossava: theres dozens in the repos. ;) lightest would be jwm i belive. but its verybaic | 07:33 |
| Dr_Willis | basic | 07:33 |
| Dr_Willis | then again - its like a huge 300k ;) | 07:33 |
| Dr_Willis | !info jwm | 07:33 |
| ubottu | jwm (source: jwm): very small lightweight pure X11 window manager with tray and menus. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.1.0+svn579-2 (raring), package size 110 kB, installed size 290 kB | 07:33 |
| atossava | thanks | 07:33 |
| Dr_Willis | 290k! ;) | 07:33 |
| Dr_Willis | it all depends on what you need the sysem to do | 07:34 |
| atossava | light is not an issue, but surviving without Composite (which is a requirement for nVidia Option "Overlay" to work) is | 07:34 |
| Dr_Willis | what sort of overlay do you mean? i cant recall ever needing to mess with it befor | 07:34 |
| Dr_Willis | kde can definatly turn compositing on and off on the fly. | 07:35 |
| atossava | Dr_Willis: I have an application on Solaris that needs a 8bit pseudocolor overlay. In the regular case, trying to start it up results in a coredump on the Sun. The only X terminal with which it works effortlessly is another Sun, or a SGI. It might have worked with the AcceleratedX server from Xi Graphics. | 07:36 |
| atossava | I do have ten SGIs... in the basement, and some of them might even be in working condition. | 07:37 |
| Dr_Willis | im so old.. i actually rember sun workstations and the Xi X server. ;) | 07:37 |
| SoItBegins2 | And oddly enough, with the caps lock light (but not caps lock) on, the keyboard and mouse seem to be working perfectly. | 07:37 |

| Dr_Willis | id cget the exact chipset that dongle is using. and check the forums and askubuntu.com there might be some known work arounds | 08:13 |
| jack--- | ok, will try that | 08:14 |
| crankharder | anyone know where errors from upstart init scripts end up? | 08:18 |
| Dr_Willis | in /var/log somewehere i imagine | 08:20 |
| Dr_Willis | you can tail -f /lots/of files and watch them all ;) | 08:20 |
| Dr_Willis | i recall other log watchers also. some with color. but havent used them in ages | 08:20 |
| crankharder | var/log/upstart ;) | 08:21 |
| Dr_Willis | how logical ;) | 08:22 |
| Dr_Willis | in windiwz it would be some weird place i bet ;) | 08:22 |
| viaSanctus_ | I'm at a client and I have a problem ubuntu box | 08:23 |
| viaSanctus_ | nothing I do frees up any space on the hard drive | 08:23 |
| viaSanctus_ | typically linux | 08:23 |
| cfhowlett | viaSanctus_, error messages? | 08:23 |
| Dr_Willis | check the log files in /var/log and the users home. | 08:23 |
| viaSanctus_ | none | 08:23 |
| viaSanctus_ | I have 0 bytes free | 08:23 |
| Dr_Willis | ive seen log files grow for weird reasons to huge size due to error messages | 08:23 |
| viaSanctus_ | and need to free just a meg or so | 08:24 |
| crankharder | it really hates a call to /usr/bin/test :( just seems to stop the script dead | 08:24 |
| Dr_Willis | and they grow as fast as you free space | 08:24 |
| viaSanctus_ | can I delete the src / header files? | 08:24 |
| Dr_Willis | sudo apt-get clean - would clear out the apt cache - that can be several gb in size on some setups viaSanctus_ | 08:24 |
| viaSanctus_ | done that several times | 08:25 |
| viaSanctus_ | have 2 hard drives | 08:25 |
| viaSanctus_ | 1 with lots of space free | 08:25 |
| viaSanctus_ | and 1 with none | 08:25 |
| FloodBot1 | viaSanctus_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:25 |
| Dr_Willis | if the space is filling up as fast as you free it - thats exactly what ive seen with log files | 08:25 |
| viaSanctus_ | Dr_Willis, it's annoying the hell out of me | 08:25 |
| k1l | viaSanctus_: so a "sudo apt-get autoremove &&sudo apt-get autoclean" | 08:25 |
| Dr_Willis | the ~/.xsession-errors file wa he issue for me | 08:25 |
| Dr_Willis | so look and see how big the file is | 08:26 |
| k1l | viaSanctus_: that should free some space on the / partition. but if you know that problem i wonder why you do the same mistake over and over again? | 08:26 |
| viaSanctus_ | can't see hidden files | 08:26 |
| viaSanctus_ | over and over again? | 08:26 |
| leo | has anyone here been to the heart attack girl? | 08:27 |
| Dr_Willis | ls -al .thefilename | 08:27 |

| johest | moin guys, /etc/ssl/certs/Firmaprofesional_Root_CA.pem expires in 20 days (12.04 LTS) | 08:27 |

| viaSanctus_ | this is turning into a disaster | 08:44 |
| viaSanctus_ | i've deleted the whole log content | 08:44 |
| viaSanctus_ | nothing changes | 08:45 |
| viaSanctus_ | 0 B free | 08:45 |
| viaSanctus_ | when I move back the log content from a backup location | 08:45 |
| viaSanctus_ | I can't siply copy the whole content back into the log folder. How is that even possible if 0B is free????? | 08:45 |
| viaSanctus_ | I can copy* | 08:45 |
| Strit | Do you have Remote desktop activated? | 08:45 |
| viaSanctus_ | no | 08:46 |
| Strit | viaSanctus_, My xsessions log quickly filled up my harddrive because someone tried to connect to my remote desktop all the time. After I disabled it, I had no problems. What does the log say? | 08:47 |
| Dr_Willis | did you check the log file in the users home? for the xorg stuff | 08:47 |
| viaSanctus_ | Strit, it's not that | 08:47 |
| Dr_Willis | ls -al ~/.xsession-errors would show its size | 08:48 |
| viaSanctus_ | I cut/pasted the whole log content to a backup locations | 08:48 |
| viaSanctus_ | so if the storage was filling up, it would be full | 08:48 |
| viaSanctus_ | but i could paste the log content back | 08:48 |
| viaSanctus_ | even though it said 0B free | 08:48 |
| k1l | viaSanctus_: is this system still running? | 08:48 |
| viaSanctus_ | ? | 08:48 |
| viaSanctus_ | i'm in it | 08:48 |
| Strit | how big is the .xsession-errors file? | 08:48 |
| k1l | viaSanctus_: then please pastebin a "df -h" | 08:49 |
| Dr_Willis | mine go to 17gb the other day | 08:49 |
| viaSanctus_ | Strit, do you understand what I'm trying to say? | 08:49 |
| k1l | viaSanctus_: show the df-h please | 08:49 |
| happyjoy | how do i run a filesystem check on sdc? | 08:49 |
| k1l | "df -h" | 08:49 |
| viaSanctus_ | one sec, rebooting the system | 08:50 |
| Strit | viaSanctus_, I think so, is the baclup location on the same disc? | 08:50 |
| viaSanctus_ | of course not | 08:50 |
| Dr_Willis | !fsck | happyjoy | 08:50 |
| ubottu | happyjoy: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 08:50 |
| viaSanctus_ | oh wait, another partition | 08:50 |
| viaSanctus_ | same disk | 08:50 |
| happyjoy | that doesnt answer my question | 08:50 |
| happyjoy | *how* | 08:50 |
| Dr_Willis | happyjoy: do that sudo touch.... command and reboot. | 08:51 |
| happyjoy | man page does not show an example of how a command is supposed to look | 08:51 |
| Dr_Willis | happyjoy: or unmount the filesystem and 'fsck /dev/sda1' or whatever | 08:51 |
| Dr_Willis | fsck [-lsAVRTMNP] [-C [fd]] [-t fstype] [filesys...] | 08:52 |
| happyjoy | i did unmount and ran sudo fsck /dev/sdc and got something about a bad block and bad superblock then the check was aborted | 08:52 |
| Dr_Willis | fsck -f ext4 /dev/sda1 (for example) | 08:52 |
| happyjoy | so i guess i did it right | 08:52 |
| Dr_Willis | no.. its not sdc | 08:52 |
| Dr_Willis | it would be sdc1 most likiely | 08:52 |
| Dr_Willis | sdc is the disk.. sdc1 is partion 1 on the disk | 08:52 |
| Dr_Willis | 08:52 | |
| sf | hahahaha | 08:53 |
| viaSanctus_ | Strit, 1129 large | 08:55 |
| viaSanctus_ | it probably means bytes or kb | 08:55 |
| viaSanctus_ | in any case it's not the problem | 08:55 |
| k1l | viaSanctus_: please show in a pastebin "df -h" | 08:56 |
| k1l | !paste | viaSanctus_ | 08:56 |
| ddssc | what's the easiest way to grant user access over sftp and have that user locked to one specific dir? | 08:56 |
| ubottu | viaSanctus_: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 08:56 |
| Dr_Willis | ddssc that seems to get asked in here every day.. theres not a quick answer. I imagine theres posts about it at askubuntu.com - ive not seen a 'simple' answer ever given in here | 08:57 |
| viaSanctus_ | it says /dev/sda1 size 15G used 15G avail 0 use 100% mounted on / | 08:58 |
| viaSanctus_ | the rest is all on other partitions | 08:58 |
| ddssc | Dr_Willis: the reason it's asked is because apparently there's not a clean solution for it in ubuntu. all I want to do is create a dir, and grant access over it to a certain user. I don't want this user to be able to write outside or even look outside this dir. | 08:58 |
| viaSanctus_ | with free space | 08:58 |
| ActionParsnip | viaSanctus_: uninstall unused kernels is a good start | 08:58 |
| k1l | viaSanctus_: *sigh* | 08:58 |
| ddssc | fairly simple request really, dont know why it has to be so complicated in ubuntu... | 08:58 |
| k1l | viaSanctus_: then do the apt-get commands i told you before | 08:58 |
| ActionParsnip | ddssc: its very simple | 08:58 |
| Dr_Willis | ddssc: they souldent be able to write out side the dir without the right permissions. as for looking.. i dnt see what the big deal is | 08:58 |
| viaSanctus_ | k1l, please paste it again | 08:59 |
| k1l | viaSanctus_: and remove old kernel-packages and older header packages | 08:59 |
| ddssc | Dr_Willis: looking at this atm. http://askubuntu.com/questions/134425/how-can-i-chroot-sftp-only-ssh-users-into-their-homes | 08:59 |
| viaSanctus_ | there are only 2 header folders | 08:59 |
| viaSanctus_ | guess they are not "old" ones | 08:59 |
| ddssc | ActionParsnip: then please do share. | 08:59 |
| k1l | <k1l> viaSanctus_: so a "sudo apt-get autoremove &&sudo apt-get autoclean" | 08:59 |
| ActionParsnip | ddssc: in what way? | 08:59 |
| ddssc | ActionParsnip: in way of words. written on my screen. | 09:00 |
| ActionParsnip | ddssc: I have OAPs and so forth using Ubuntu to browse the web, zero issues | 09:00 |
| ddssc | ActionParsnip: that doesn't tell me anything. | 09:00 |
| ActionParsnip | ddssc: what are you finding not simple, exactly? | 09:00 |

| viaSanctus_ | oh buy we got a hero | 09:06 |
| viaSanctus_ | go ban me..very brave | 09:06 |
| Dr_Willis | viaSanctus_: and did you look at the size of the users ~/.xsession-errors file? i never saw youmention it.. | 09:06 |
| viaSanctus_ | Dr_Willis, yes | 09:07 |
| viaSanctus_ | 1180 large (guessing it's kb) | 09:07 |
| Dr_Willis | delete that file. and clean out all the logs. is about all i can suggest. | 09:07 |
| Dr_Willis | it could be GB | 09:07 |
| jack_mathew | yeah | 09:07 |
| viaSanctus_ | Dr_Willis, did that | 09:07 |
| jack_mathew | How I can pen test this website | 09:07 |

| sharpy35 | okay thanks . i will try it with gparted | 09:09 |
| Dr_Willis | viaSanctus_: if somthing is growing as fast as you free space.. then you may want to use a live cd and exp,ore the fs and free up space | 09:09 |
| michael87 | burnt both on a single dvd btw | 09:09 |
| Dr_Willis | michael87: you mean a multi-session dvd? | 09:09 |

| Dr_Willis | not even sure how windows accesses them | 09:10 |

| lolcat | Hello | 09:35 |
| lolcat | My X-server stopped working | 09:35 |
| lolcat | How can I reconfigure it? | 09:35 |
| lolcat | It goes into low-graphics, but no input works | 09:35 |
| lolcat | has to be commandline | 09:35 |
| lolcat | !xorg | 09:36 |
| ubottu | The X Window system is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart X, type 'sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm' on an ubuntu system. replace with kdm on Kubuntu. To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution . Also see !xorgconf | 09:36 |
| lolcat | !xorgconfg | 09:37 |
| lolcat | !xorgconf | 09:37 |
| ubottu | The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is deprecated, but sometimes may still be needed to pass values to specific drivers. Generic xorg.conf generation: http://ubottu.com/y/xorgconf - ATI/AMD ( fglrx driver ) specific: http://ubottu.com/y/atiamd - NVidia ( nvidia driver )specific: http://ubottu.com/y/nvidia man xorg.conf for file structure and syntax. | 09:37 |
| lolcat | Anyone? | 09:38 |
| linuxuz3r | try dpkg-reconfigure xorg | 09:38 |
| Dr_Willis | common issue.. cant say ive4 seen a common/simple fix. | 09:38 |
| k1l | lolcat: what did you do before that happend? which driver is installed? where is the driver from? | 09:40 |
| lolcat | I think I may have upgraded | 09:41 |
| lolcat | I think I am using the AMD one | 09:41 |
| lolcat | I probably need it to make me an inframs thingy? | 09:42 |
| k1l | if its not the ubuntu driver but driver from some homepage you might need to reinstall it after a kernel upgrade | 09:42 |
| lolcat | I can't enter homepages without X | 09:42 |
| lolcat | How do I make it just use whatever is default? | 09:42 |
| lolcat | Or would rebooint into .23 work? | 09:43 |
| lucido | startup applications, the commands set there are executed as what user? | 09:43 |
| Dr_Willis | depenmds on which ones you mean | 09:43 |
| Heebie | Does anyone know of a xen-kernel package for Ubuntu that adds paravirtualisation under Xen? | 09:43 |
| k1l | lolcat: yes, you could try the odler kernel entry in grub for testing | 09:43 |
| Dr_Willis | ~/.config/autostart/ - ran as the user. | 09:43 |
| lolcat | I just need ANY graphical interface | 09:43 |
| Dr_Willis | lolcat: sudo apt-get install jwm then select jwm at the login screen perhaps? | 09:44 |
| lolcat | I don't need 3d or 2d acceleration | 09:44 |
| Dr_Willis | thats the most minimal window manager in the repos | 09:44 |
| lolcat | Dr_Willis: I cant get to the login screen | 09:44 |
| lolcat | It pops up: GRAPHICS PROBLEM DETECTED | 09:44 |

| k1l | lolcat: you could show the dmesg and syslog in a pastebin | 09:44 |
| Dr_Willis | and the xorg log | 09:44 |
| lolcat | k1l: I just want to revert to the standard driver | 09:44 |
| k1l | lolcat: so you did something with drivers? | 09:45 |
| lolcat | No | 09:45 |
| lolcat | I upgraded my kernel | 09:45 |
| k1l | upgraded manually? | 09:45 |
| k1l | lolcat: do "pastebinit /var/log/dmesg" and pastebinit /var/log/syslog" and show them both urls in here | 09:46 |
| lolcat | k1l: It is a PITA to pastebin without X | 09:48 |
| lucido | Dr_Willis, startup application preferences the command is: /bin/sh sudo /usr/bin/nvclock -n 630 -m 610 -f, I need to know because I have to set up a nopassword option in the sudoers file | 09:48 |
| lolcat | Is there any display enviroment I can start without lightdm ruinging everything? | 09:48 |
| k1l | lolcat: use a tty then and just type the shortened url into here | 09:48 |
| lolcat | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6191565 | 09:49 |

| k1l | make sure kernel-headers are installed for the kernel to led the module be build for you | 09:54 |

| ubottu | Reacto,: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 10:26 |

| bulletxt|2 | hi there, I'de like to use fusefat without being root or using sudo. Is this possible? Thanks | 10:40 |
| === Alagar2 is now known as Guest78225 | ||
| Dr_Willis | if the user is in the fuse group - i thought they could use the various fuse tools. thats sort of the point of the fuse stuff | 10:40 |
| Dr_Willis | !fuse | 10:40 |
| ubottu | FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems | 10:40 |
| Dr_Willis | but im not sure what fusefat does that the normal fat/vfat stuff dosent do | 10:41 |
| bulletxt|2 | Dr_Willis: thanks but the problem is that I did put fuse in my user groups but still fusefat says permission denied | 10:41 |
| Dr_Willis | you did log out of the user. and reloged in? | 10:41 |
| bulletxt|2 | Dr_Willis: I need to find a way to mount fat partitions as normal user,. any ideas? | 10:41 |
| bulletxt|2 | yea | 10:41 |
| bulletxt|2 | I did | 10:41 |
| Dr_Willis | err.. with the ntfs-confg tool it can enable where users have full access to ntfs/vfat partions. or you can put a mount entry in fstab with the 'user' (or was it users) option | 10:42 |
| Dr_Willis | for the specific filesystem | 10:42 |
| Ceraphin | Hi all | 10:42 |
| Ceraphin | Is there anyone with a Macbook air 4.2 (2011) with ubuntu in dual boot? | 10:42 |
| Ceraphin | I can succeed to install it, i really could use some help | 10:42 |
| bulletxt|2 | Dr_Willis: since I don't know the partition (i only know it at runtime), I cant add it to fstab | 10:42 |
| Ceraphin | and I don't even find any good help. | 10:43 |
| Dr_Willis | bulletxt|2: is it an internal or excternal drive? is it the same disk/partion every time? is it usb removeable? | 10:43 |
| tbharath | My home directory is out of memory, I want to add memory of another drive, which has windows in it, how can we do that? | 10:43 |
| bulletxt|2 | Dr_Willis: its removable (its an SD) | 10:44 |
| Dr_Willis | tbharath: you mean 'disk space' | 10:44 |
| Dr_Willis | bulletxt|2: a usb sd reader? or built in?> | 10:44 |
| tbharath | Dr_Willis, yes, with out lost of contents | 10:44 |
| cfhowlett | !mac|Ceraphin, | 10:44 |
| ubottu | Ceraphin,: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 10:44 |
| bulletxt|2 | Dr_Willis: usb reader yea | 10:44 |
| Ceraphin | Already done | 10:44 |
| Ceraphin | but the problem is that the installer is freezing after selecting language | 10:44 |
| asdfaaaa | I need help with AMD drivers 13.4 using Xubuntu 13.04, following this guide: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Raring_Installation_Guide | 10:45 |
| Dr_Willis | tbharath: you mount the partionm to some directory and give the user permissions/chown/chmod the filesystem and the user can store stuff there. no need to 'merge' the 2 - it will appear to the user as a directory in theor home if thats how you want | 10:45 |
| cfhowlett | Ceraphin, so since something like 90% plus of the users in this channel are NOT Mac users ... | 10:45 |
| asdfaaaa | I have gotten 2 blackscreen after reboots... | 10:45 |
| Dr_Willis | bulletxt|2: you are using the gui at all? or need this to be all console? | 10:45 |
| tbharath | Dr_Willis, it is my another drive , /media/bharath/E8DC1A1EDC19E818/ | 10:46 |
| tbharath | Dr_Willis, how I can do that? | 10:46 |
| Dr_Willis | tbharath: and what filesystem is the drive using> | 10:46 |
| bulletxt|2 | Dr_Willis: console | 10:46 |
| Dr_Willis | bulletxt|2: i cant even find a fuse-fat package - but i am on my raspberry pi. | 10:46 |
| bulletxt|2 | Dr_Willis: its fusefat | 10:46 |
| Dr_Willis | bulletxt|2: but im thiniking you got somntning setup wrong. because a user is supposed to be able to use the fuse stuff | 10:47 |
| tbharath | Dr_Willis, NTFS | 10:47 |
| bulletxt | Dr_Willis: its fusefat package | 10:47 |
| Dr_Willis | tbharath: so you want to resize it? or just want the user to have full access to it? | 10:47 |
| Dr_Willis | !info fusefat | 10:48 |
| ubottu | fusefat (source: fuse-umfuse-fat): File System in User Space - Module for FAT. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1a-1 (raring), package size 32 kB, installed size 124 kB | 10:48 |

| tbharath | Dr_Willis, I want my files store in another drive, from which I can exceute those files, now when I copy the executable files to another drive, it says permission denied, though I gave chmod +x to that file | 10:49 |
| tbharath | Dr_Willis, can we solve the solution with out resizing? | 10:50 |
| Dr_Willis | tbharath: you DONT chown/chmod ntfs/vfat - if you need them to be executable on a vfat/ntfs then youy MUST mount the ntfs/vfat with the right options. Normally via a fstab entry in /etc/fstab | 10:50 |
| Dr_Willis | !ntfs-3g | 10:51 |

| Dr_Willis | bulletxt: i dont see in the fusefat docs/manpage where it works for a real disk.. just image files.. | 10:52 |

| asdfaaaa | and CTRL-ALT-F2 dosen't work... | 10:52 |
| tbharath | Dr_Willis, will the third bullet point works | 10:53 |
| Dr_Willis | bulletxt: what command are you using exactly? | 10:53 |
| cfhowlett | asdfaaaa, now THAT makes me think you used corrupted ISO. did you md5sum check? | 10:53 |
| asdfaaaa | cfhowlett: Don't except that, used wget from AMD site | 10:53 |
| asdfaaaa | here -> | 10:53 |
| tbharath | Dr_Willis, it said "possibly dangerous" | 10:53 |
| bulletxt | Dr_Willis: fusefat -ro /dev/disk/dev/disk/by-label/MYLABEL /media/folder | 10:53 |
| asdfaaaa | http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx | 10:54 |
| Dr_Willis | tbharath: i dont put linux executables on ntfs/vfat - its just sort of silly to be storing linux binaries on vfat/ntfs | 10:54 |
| bulletxt | Dr_Willis: thats because im doing with label but of course /dev/sda1 is the same thing | 10:54 |
| tbharath | Dr_Willis, I am doing because I am out of memory | 10:54 |
| asdfaaaa | DR_Willis: I'm on Xubuntu now :D | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip | asdfaaaa: why not use the additional drivers app in system settings? | 10:54 |
| tbharath | Dr_Willis, but will it work? | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip | asdfaaaa: I believe spatry has a video how to guide for the drivers | 10:55 |
| Dr_Willis | tbharath: once again.. you are out of DISK SPACE... if you were out of MEMORY then you would want a bigger swap partition | 10:55 |
| k1l | asdfaaaa: dont use the amd site driver. use the repo driver. that is supported in here | 10:55 |
| asdfaaaa | ActionParsnip: true but I wanted to learn from installation packages... | 10:55 |
| asdfaaaa | kll: Do you have a link, thanks | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | asdfaaaa: check out spatry's channel on youtube | 10:55 |
| Sheldoraaaa | Dr_willis I tried xubuntu but my sound card stopped for some reason, n I tried a few ways to fix it but still no working | 10:55 |
| asdfaaaa | ActionParsnip: Of couse thank you as well! | 10:55 |
| tbharath | Dr_Willis, sorry out of Disk space | 10:56 |
| k1l | asdfaaaa: sudo apt-get install fglrx | 10:56 |
| asdfaaaa | kll: They say third time is the shit...I Dont wanna format once again | 10:56 |
| asdfaaaa | :D:D:D | 10:56 |
| Sheldoraaaa | Dr_willis I assume its no supported | 10:56 |
| Dr_Willis | bulletxt: does any of the other fuse tools work for that user | 10:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Sheldoraaaa: did it work under ubuntu? did ut work for a while, then stop? | 10:56 |
| asdfaaaa | ActionParsnip: Checking now, love you <2 | 10:56 |
| lenz | Hello everybody! How do I move my entire /home directory to a seperate partition? | 10:57 |
| bulletxt | Dr_Willis: fuseiso seems to work as normal user without issues | 10:57 |
| k1l | asdfaaaa: what? | 10:57 |
| cfhowlett | !home|lenz, | 10:57 |
| ubottu | lenz,: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | k1l: lotta love in the channel | 10:57 |
| Sheldoraaaa | Dr_willis yes it worked for old version of Ubuntu like 10,11 and nop no even working for a second | 10:58 |
| lenz | Oh wow, thanks | 10:58 |
| Dr_Willis | bulletxt: you could always alter the sudoers file to allow that user to run fusefat as root. but from all the fuse docs ive seen in the last 10 min, all fuse enabled users should be able to use the fuse stuff | 10:58 |
| bulletxt | Dr_Willis: yes in fact I cant understand why its not working ... :( | 10:58 |
| asdfaaaa | kll: I have formated (Xubuntu) two times because the AMD GPU drivers crashed after reboot, I hope that I do not need to format the third time.. | 10:58 |
| Dr_Willis | bulletxt: but ive not seen a single example of fusefat being used on a DEVICE. its always on a file.. | 10:58 |
| Dr_Willis | bulletxt: that may be the core issue here. | 10:59 |
| Dr_Willis | only root has full access to that device | 10:59 |
| bulletxt | Dr_Willis: yea I understand what you mean... any ideas? | 10:59 |
| Dr_Willis | bulletxt: do you have a gui at all? | 10:59 |
| k1l | asdfaaaa: you should look out what error happend and not just plain reformat. | 10:59 |
| bulletxt | Dr_Willis: everythijng must be done from CLI | 10:59 |
| k1l | asdfaaaa: make sure the kernel headers are installed to let the video driver build properly | 11:00 |
| bulletxt | Dr_Willis: I'm writing bash scripts so everything must be done from consol | 11:00 |
| BluesKaj | howdy all | 11:00 |
| tbharath | Dr_Willis, I did sudo mount -o remount,fmask=027 /media/bharath/E8DC1A1EDC19E818/, but doen't work | 11:00 |
| cfhowlett | BluesKaj, hey hey hey! Blue is here! NOW it's a party! | 11:00 |
| Dr_Willis | bulletxt: so you cant even run ntfs-config to enbable the system to let users have full access to ntfs/vfat? that would be an eaier way | 11:00 |
| asdfaaaa | kll: Will try, will atleast follow the YT guide ActionParsnip sent | 11:01 |
| Dr_Willis | bulletxt: a gui right NOW to just run that tool is what im asking about | 11:01 |
| Dr_Willis | not a gui later | 11:01 |
| bulletxt | Dr_Willis: partitions will always be Fat16/32.. is this a problem for ntfs-3g ? | 11:01 |
| Dr_Willis | ntfs-config handles them both | 11:01 |
| bulletxt | Dr_Willis: ok | 11:01 |
| Dr_Willis | it has check box's to allow users full access. and it tweaqks the udisks, or udev. or whatever it is now a days.. | 11:01 |
| BluesKaj | cfhowlett, think I'll retreat to a corner with my morning coffee :) | 11:02 |
| bulletxt | Dr_Willis: ok Ill see if ntfs-config helps me | 11:02 |
| Dr_Willis | then i recall theres some tool other then mount that will use that method to mount things | 11:02 |
| Dr_Willis | pdisk? i rarely need the tool | 11:02 |
| Dr_Willis | bulletxt: you did check askubuntu.com about this? theres most likely several ways it could be done | 11:02 |
| === Trevor_ is now known as TrevorX5J9 | ||
| bulletxt | Dr_Willis: I prefered your consulting :p anyways im going to try ntfs-config now and see how it can help me | 11:03 |
| Dr_Willis | my sdcard is always /dev/mmcblk* ;) so that would make it eaasier to do here. | 11:03 |
| tbharath | Dr_Willis, pdsk? | 11:03 |
| bulletxt | Dr_Willis: in my case it always changes and I only know the label at runtime | 11:03 |
| Dr_Willis | bulletxt: so that label is always the same? | 11:03 |
| bulletxt | Dr_Willis: no , it changes | 11:04 |
| bulletxt | Dr_Willis: I don't see how to tell ntfs-config to allow non root users to mount fat partition though | 11:05 |
| === Alagar2 is now known as Guest40830 | ||
| Dr_Willis | theres a check box. | 11:05 |
| Dr_Willis | it applies to both | 11:05 |
| bulletxt | it says "allow to read/write to external devices" | 11:06 |
| bulletxt | it does not say anything else though | 11:06 |
| Dr_Willis | then you use the nautilus/cli/whatever tool that i cant rember to mount them | 11:06 |
| bulletxt | Dr_Willis: from cli whats the command then? mount -L $label /$folder ? | 11:06 |
| Dr_Willis | its not mount.. its some OTHER command | 11:06 |
| Dr_Willis | might be at one of the following. | 11:07 |

| Dr_Willis | because the tools are all using the same subsystem. | 11:09 |
| Dr_Willis | ntfs/vfat are closely releated | 11:09 |

| Nosophorus | how do i install totem.thumbnailer in Ubuntu 12.04? | 11:11 |
| CatKiller | bulletxt: So when you mount using ntfs-3g you use "FUSE", which is "File System in User Space". One advantage of mounting it in userspace is that you can mount it without being root | 11:11 |
| Nosophorus | i mistakenly deleted it | 11:11 |
| CatKiller | bulletxt: FAT32 uses a linux in kernel driver and a "mount" call | 11:11 |
| bulletxt | CatKiller: but I need to mount fat16/32 | 11:11 |
| bulletxt | yea | 11:12 |
| Sheldoraaaa | ! | 11:12 |
| bulletxt | CatKiller: thats why I was looking at fusefat | 11:12 |
| CatKiller | So you want to mount something not as root right? | 11:12 |
| bulletxt | CatKiller: yes mount fat as non root | 11:12 |
| bulletxt | CatKiller: I cant force anything in fstab as device will always be different (and even label) | 11:12 |

| Dr_Willis | wanting docs on how to use LXDE is one thing.. one on how to use Linux and the shell and stuff.. is another toally differnt thing | 11:19 |

| Nosophorus | kostkon: i'll try that | 11:41 |
| kostkon | Nosophorus, create the file /usr/share/thumbnailers/totem.thumbnailer and put the three lines mentioned below | 11:41 |
| kenn_ | it sleeps in 5 minutes whatever i set | 11:41 |
| kostkon | Nosophorus, e.g. sudo nano /usr/share/thumbnailers/totem.thumbnailer | 11:41 |
| Nosophorus | kostkon: yep, i'm doing that right now | 11:42 |
| kostkon | Nosophorus, also clear the cache if you haven't done it already and maybe logout and log back in | 11:43 |
| Nosophorus | kostkon: i'm affraid of doing that because i could lose some thumbnails i like and that were generated by totem.thumbnailer | 11:44 |

| cfhowlett | angs, I'm not even going to go into the exhaustive list of what can go wrong. the wubi developers have stated it's purpose is testing. using it for something else , like long term installation , is inadvisable at best | 11:51 |

| Abbas- | is KDE more user firendly or gnome? | 13:29 |
| Abbas- | i m getting backtrack iso and i have to choose one of the two | 13:29 |
| ikonia | Abbas-: 1.) backtrack is dead 2.) this channel doesn't do polls 3.) this channel doesn't support backtrack | 13:30 |
| ikonia | Abbas-: I'd suggest a LOT more research before you do things | 13:30 |
| BluesKaj_ | !backtrack > Abbas- | 13:30 |
| ubottu | Abbas-, please see my private message | 13:30 |
| krux | 4.all you can do in backtrack you can do in ubuntu :) | 13:30 |
| ikonia | BluesKaj_: I actually think that factoid needs updating | 13:30 |
| BluesKaj_ | ikonia, like the OS :) | 13:31 |

| Abbas- | less shell like stuff | 13:33 |
| ikonia | Abbas-: then they are fools | 13:33 |
| Abbas- | harsh ;p | 13:33 |
| theadmin | Abbas-: Uh. Both are pretty friendly if you ask me | 13:33 |
| ikonia | not at all, suggesting a dead distro is stupid | 13:34 |
| theadmin | Abbas-: But GNOME is ridiculously bloated nowadays so eh | 13:34 |
| Abbas- | you typed like 12 wrods ;p | 13:34 |
| Abbas- | instead of telling me which ones easeir but k | 13:34 |
| ikonia | Abbas-: it's personal opinion, that's why you can't see "this one is easier" as what I find easier you may find harder | 13:34 |
| theadmin | Abbas-: You can find screenshots and other stuff on http://kde.org and http://gnome.org , see for yourself. | 13:35 |
| jhutchins | Abbas-: kde has traditionally offered more user customization and features. With KDE4 they've gotten very complex and interconnected, with multiple servers running full time for things like metadata indexing and contact sharing between apps. | 13:40 |

| jhutchins | Abbas-: Gnome has recently moved toward removing customization and features in favor of user simplicity. | 13:40 |
| neoshroom | I've followed directions here to log SFTP for Chrooted Users. It used to work and I got both "sshd" and "internal-sftp" entries in the log. However, now I only seem to get "sshd" entries (which is only login/logoff but not transfers). Any idea what could be going wrong? | 13:40 |

| cson | I just installed Ubuntu 13.04 on a pretty modern laptop and compiz still sucks and is burning up a core. Does anybody have this issue? | 13:41 |
| jhutchins | Abbas-: Many people have felt that the two main desktops were going way too far and becoming bloated. They've turned to things like xfce, lxde, and forks of the big desktops like cinnamon. | 13:41 |

| Abbas- | i'll get it then | 13:42 |
| Abbas- | thx guys | 13:42 |
| Abbas- | ah | 13:43 |
| BluesKaj_ | jhutchins, I tried cinnamon yesterday on different partition , but i was missing some important parts of the desktop like the panel . ii it's anything like gnome shell then I'd consider it as a fallback OS | 13:45 |

| tsunamie | heys guys. I am using start-stop-daemon to start a java web application. However every time I try and enter java flags to the command the thing crashes out. IT does'nt start and says it can't start | 13:49 |

| theadmin | Zyroo: ...Read the article, it has a GUI method outlined | 13:50 |
| === BluesKaj_ is now known as BluesKaj | ||
| sheldoraaaa | yo | 13:50 |
| Zyroo | theadmin: I dont have a GUI access thats why i am here | 13:50 |
| cson | tsunamie: what's the complete command | 13:51 |
| theadmin | Zyroo: Oookay, well I'm not very familiar with CLI networking to be honest :/ | 13:51 |
| cson | zyroo: what's wrong with iptables? | 13:51 |
| ikonia | Zyroo: iptables is the best/correct way to do it, or setup a proxy such as squid, | 13:51 |
| tsunamie | cson - worked it out. Thanks. I ran the command manaully outside of the script and started debugging it from there. The problem siss that you need to add -- and then put the flags on the end of that | 13:51 |
| theadmin | What's the correct way to start an OpenVPN connection on boot? The configuration is stored in a single .ovpn file and NetworkManager doesn't like inline keys | 13:52 |
| Zyroo | cson: I have a dedicated firewall infront of all thats why i am asking for no iptable | 13:52 |
| tsunamie | cson, this is because the start-stop-daemon thinks the flags I am adding onto the end of the command are apart of the start-stop-daemon requests and not flags to feed into the damon command | 13:52 |
| Zyroo | ikonia: Is there any way with kernel route tables | 13:53 |
| cson | tsunamie: cool, running shit manually always helps. | 13:53 |
| ikonia | iptables is the kenrel routing | 13:53 |
| Zyroo | so if i use ip route command iptables is working behind it right? | 13:53 |
| ikonia | Zyroo: no | 13:54 |
| magdur_ | guys could you suggest a software like working ccleaner? | 13:54 |
| Zyroo | ikonia: ok | 13:54 |
| theadmin | magdur_: BleachBit gets close enough. | 13:55 |
| BluesKaj | magdur_, clean autoclean and autoremove , with apt-get | 13:56 |
| cson | theadmin/ikonia: does compiz suck on your desktop? | 13:56 |
| theadmin | cson: Uh, no. Works fine here. If you experience graphics issues the suggestion is to stay on 12.04 for now. | 13:56 |
| theadmin | cson: Or just use a different DE. | 13:57 |
| cson | theadmin: damn. I have to use 13 because 12 doesn't detect some of my newer hardware correctly. | 13:57 |
| theadmin | cson: Ah. Just fire up Xubuntu for example then | 13:57 |
| jack--- | saucy works perfectly here | 13:57 |
| cson | I've already invested too much time into setting up the perfect dev environment.. 13.10 must be around the corner. | 13:59 |
| theadmin | cson: You don't have to reinstall, eh, you can just install Xfce from within your current setup. | 14:00 |
| cson | theadmin: honestly I've had really bad luck with lubuntu and xubuntu.. particularly with GRUB. | 14:01 |
| theadmin | cson: sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends xubuntu-desktop | 14:01 |
| ActionParsnip | cson: sudo apt-get install xfce4 | 14:02 |
| theadmin | cson: Err. GRUB has nothing to do with those -- they use the same source tree and package versions as the plain Ubuntu | 14:02 |
| jack--- | nothing to do with anybuntu | 14:02 |
| Blacklite_ | I'd like to repeal a ban from #ubuntu-offtopic | 14:02 |
| jack--- | grub is grub | 14:02 |
| theadmin | Blacklite_: Please join #ubuntu-ops for the purpose. | 14:02 |

| ActionParsnip | Blacklite_: ask in #ubuntu-ops | 14:02 |
| Blacklite_ | thanks | 14:02 |
| theadmin | cson: Err, sorry, sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends install xubuntu-desktop | 14:02 |
| ActionParsnip | cson: lubuntu and xubuntu differ only by the default app set once the OS loads, the kernel and grub are 100% identical | 14:03 |
| theadmin | cson: With recommends it will pull a bunch of Xubuntu-specific stuff in, you usually don't want that | 14:03 |

| alkisg | Hi, in 12.04 all java applets crash my firefox, could someone try to load this page, so that in case he succeeds, would tell me what version of java he has so that I can use that one instead? | 14:03 |

| troulouliou_dev | hi can i install ubuntu 13.04 from the x86 desktop iso on a cpu that does not support pae (this kernel require the flollowing featuresnot present on the cpu cmovbe ...) | 14:20 |
| theadmin | troulouliou_dev: You can't, you need to use the network install, it provides pae-less images | 14:22 |
| alkisg | troulouliou_dev: the cmov issue is not the same as the pae issue | 14:22 |
| alkisg | You need 10.04 for that | 14:22 |
| alkisg | theadmin: 13.04 has a non-pae kernel in the repositories?! | 14:23 |
| troulouliou_dev | alkisg,exact mesage is ..not present on the cpu : movbe | 14:23 |
| theadmin | alkisg: Yeah, it does, but the images are built with PAE | 14:23 |
| troulouliou_dev | maybe cmovbe :) screen is not well aligned | 14:23 |
| theadmin | alkisg: The network install provides a non-PAE image | 14:23 |
| alkisg | theadmin: are you sure? can you give me a link to packages.ubuntu.com that shows the non-pae kernel in 13.04? | 14:23 |
| alkisg | Because I was pretty sure that 12.04 was the last one to have non-pae kernels available... | 14:24 |
| alkisg | And that from 12.10 even the name of the kernel doesn't contain pae anymore, because there's nothing else | 14:24 |
| === fission6_ is now known as fission6 | ||
| alkisg | troulouliou_dev: I haven't seen the movbe message, but for the cmov message, 12.04 isn't working, it needs 10.04 | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | alkisg: if it works then screw it | 14:25 |
| theadmin | alkisg: Oh, never mind, you are correct | 14:25 |
| alkisg | I think both cases are different than the pae/nonpae issue | 14:25 |
| theadmin | alkisg: I was thinking 12.04 | 14:25 |
| alkisg | theadmin: thanks for checking. | 14:25 |
| troulouliou_dev | alkisg, ok checking for the movbe on internet; maybe not related to pae then | 14:25 |
| cson | theadmin: thanks for the push. xubuntu has freed up my cores. I can even watch vlc full screen now. | 14:26 |
| theadmin | cson: err... well... good? | 14:26 |
| theadmin | cson: lol | 14:26 |
| cson | what a difference | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | cson: lighter on resources | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip | cson: doesnt use junk compiz | 14:27 |
| cson | actionparsnip: yeah this is amazing, compiz was burning up cores, and tuning it with ccgm just made it worst. | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip | cson: you can use a different WM with Gnome if you want, you can use xfwin4 with Gnome but if you are happy with the result you have then I'd stick | 14:29 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip: You can't use a different WM with Unity though. Unity's a Compiz plugin | 14:30 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: yes bt compiz was the issue, Gnome is still the DE | 14:30 |
| theadmin | (which is a terrible decision. They really gotta make it standalone) | 14:30 |
| troulouliou_dev | any idea what this movbe requirement is ? | 14:30 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: disable unity, install tint2 and have it run at boot, job done | 14:30 |

| tty2 | hey guys so i just installed ubuntu on a chroot inside my chromebook.. everythign works fine. but by default gnome appears to be in "touch" mode. Meaning that instead of the usual toolbars you see at the top and bottom there is this touch interface. It also seems to lack workspaces, etc. So my question is, any idea on how to force it back to looking like a regular gnome desktop? | 14:41 |
| angs | theadmin, thanks | 14:41 |
| theadmin | tty2: Ubuntu uses Unity nowadays, not the GNOME shell or panel | 14:42 |
| Mrokii | Hello. What can I do when, after a crash and a reset my system (login-screen) doesn't come up anymore? I go to the window that talks about starting in low graphics mode but that seems to hang as well. | 14:42 |

| tty2 | theadmin, are you telling me i cant run gnome on ubuntu? | 14:42 |
| theadmin | tty2: You can, you just need to install gnome-shell or gnome-panel | 14:42 |
| tty2 | theadmin, well that is probably what the app that installed this did (i dont know how to check, but i explicitly told it to install gnome) | 14:43 |
| tty2 | theadmin, so assuming it installed gnome-panel or gnome-shell, what would the solution be? | 14:43 |
| theadmin | tty2: Eh. Do you have a panel on the left with the Ubuntu logo on it and "pinned" apps? | 14:44 |
| dlsffef | Before you login dosent give you the option to run Gnome classic? | 14:44 |
| tty2 | theadmin, nope, i have a single toolbar across the top, int he top left it says "Activities" which brings up a touch-based menu of apps, in the middle is the time/date and to the right is my username with a drop down with logoff, system settings, etc | 14:45 |
| theadmin | tty2: Ah, that's GNOME. | 14:45 |
| theadmin | tty2: The Gnome Shell. It's not a touch interface, it's just how GNOME looks by default nowadays | 14:45 |
| theadmin | tty2: Install gnome-panel for the "classic" GNOME look. | 14:45 |
| tty2 | theadmin, wow really? i hate it! | 14:45 |
| tty2 | theadmin, ok gnome-panel it is then.. though im not sure how to unintall this and install the other.. bah crouton automated everything :( | 14:46 |

| alkisg | It did; it stopped working a few months ago | 14:48 |

| BluesKaj | tty2, it was merely a comment meant to be humorous | 14:49 |
| alkisg | theadmin: could you please pastebin the output of this? dpkg -l '*firefox*'|grep ^ii | 14:49 |
| alkisg | Right, let me see... | 14:49 |

| fossterer | Tylertwo: I startedd it that way of course.. | 15:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Tylertwo: this isnt windows | 15:22 |
| ActionParsnip | fossterer: is this to run a firefox script from a manually installed Firefox? | 15:22 |
| fossterer | firefox was included in the distro.. I'm js making it invoke ProfileManager by this script | 15:23 |
| rsrx | NeoKarna: sure. There are no real solution (only one for old versions of the kernel, so it's another bug). Looks like ubuntu just can't work correctly with stereo microphone | 15:23 |
| ActionParsnip | fossterer: then why not make a copy of /usr/share/applications on your desktop, then edit it. You don't need a script | 15:24 |
| SchrodingersScat | fossterer: it was too much to make an alias? | 15:24 |
| ActionParsnip | fossterer: you just need to edit the Exec= line in the .desktop file (you can also edit the display name and keep it in the applications folder and it will show in Dash | 15:24 |
| NeoKarna | rsrx, frankly speaking I really don't use microphones, so all I can do is just point you to something related to your question. Its sad though that none of it worked | 15:25 |

| SchrodingersScat | fossterer: I only saw you mention starting it with the profile manager flag, you could make an alias to run whatever command you like with the --ProfileManager | 15:29 |
| rsrx | NeoKarna: stereo microphone on my laptop produces a lot of noise. There are special software from realtek for windows to use it, but nothing similar for ubuntu. | 15:29 |
| ActionParsnip | CalabYauManifold: build-essential is a metapackage, packages.ubuntu.com will be able to give you the names of packages it hauls in, you will also need to satisfy any deps thse packages have and so on and so on | 15:29 |
| tty3 | theadmin: i decided to format the whole box and just install xfce instead :) | 15:30 |

| ActionParsnip | tty3: why not, fluxbox rocks hard | 15:30 |
| tty3 | ActionParsnip: yea i used to love flux box | 15:31 |
| theadmin | tty3: Xfce is quite a bit similar to GNOME2 | 15:31 |
| tty3 | yea thats why i decided to go with xfce, it seems similar | 15:31 |
| theadmin | tty3: Infact, I find that it's even better than GNOME 2, because it has resizable panels, and you can have any number of panels, not just 4, and the filemanager isn't weird, and... | 15:31 |
| theadmin | tty3: So many more advantages | 15:31 |
| tty3 | yea | 15:32 |
| tty3 | usually i went with gnome because it was super light weight and had the features i wwanted atleast | 15:32 |

| PsyMar | it just lists those two interfaces that don't support scanning | 16:28 |
| PsyMar | maybe if I unplug the wired connection, but that'll disconnect me | 16:29 |
| ActionParsnip | PsyMar: try: sudo iwlist scan | egrep -i 'ssid|chan' | 16:29 |
| ActionParsnip | PsyMar: wifi can still scan, even with wired connection in | 16:30 |
| PsyMar | hm. There's two 10s, two 6s, three 1s. And mine isn't listed. | 16:30 |
| PsyMar | (but mine should be 11) | 16:30 |

| BluesKaj | tor_, open a terminal , sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel ,the kernelmodule /driver should load , there will be no output from the command | 17:14 |
| PsyMar | paulus68: how? I can see it has security mode set to 128bit WEP | 17:15 |
| BluesKaj | tor_, then reboot | 17:15 |
| tty2 | and i notice apt-add-repository doesnt actually add it to the sources.list. atleast not the one i know of in /etc/apt | 17:15 |
| trism | tty2: they are added to separate files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 17:16 |
| paulus68_1 | PsyMar: if you are connected to your routers page you should be able to remove the passkey on the security part of your routers webpage | 17:16 |
| BluesKaj | tor_, also you should update and upgrade , so youyr graphics card links to the soundcard thru hdmi | 17:16 |
| tor_ | BluesKaj: ok i will try a reboot now | 17:16 |
| PsyMar | ah, you mean temporarily disable the security | 17:16 |
| paulus68_1 | PsyMar: yes | 17:16 |
| paulus68_1 | PsyMar: or eventually go back to the factory settings | 17:17 |
| paulus68_1 | PsyMar: if that doesn't interfear with your moms computer lol | 17:17 |
| PsyMar | and how do I make Ubuntu stop asking me for a password? | 17:17 |
| PsyMar | Mom's not using her computer at the moment | 17:17 |
| paulus68_1 | PsyMar: you need to disable the security | 17:18 |
| PsyMar | I did! | 17:18 |
| tty2 | trism: ahh ok | 17:18 |
| PsyMar | it's still showing up as secured in the list of networks | 17:18 |

I've installed it with "The Fan Club" installer and it was working well. Yesterday i had a kernel update, and now everything is lagging. My specs are Hynix Semiconductor (Hyundai Electronics) Mobility Radeon HD 4225/4250 Ubuntu 12.04 Linux Kernel: 3.2 X-Server version: 1.11, and this installer no longer gives m | 17:23 |
| YokoBR | the legacy 13.1 driver, only 13.10 beta | 17:24 |
| paulus68_1 | PsyMar: and when you try to copy paste your password | 17:25 |
| grnt | Will AMD ever fix their Linux driver? | 17:25 |
| PsyMar | oh, I found the problem | 17:25 |
| PsyMar | it was "authentication" setting on the router | 17:25 |
| Guest35362 | BluesKaj: tor_ here. still no luck. no hdmi sound and the test sound will not open either: http://pbrd.co/1aSM9zO | 17:26 |
| OerHeks | YokoBR, how did you install the driver? you didn't use the repository's? | 17:26 |
| PsyMar | needed to be set to WPA-PSK instead of WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK | 17:26 |
| PsyMar | I think I'm on a secure network now | 17:26 |
| PsyMar | thanks for your help | 17:26 |
| Guest35362 | BluesKaj: strange enough hdmi is mentioend on the right but it is not listed to the left | 17:26 |
| YokoBR | OerHeks, because i have this hybrid muxless issue. I need to use the legacy proprietary driver. | 17:26 |
| YokoBR | OerHeks, the opensource driver don't let me use the HD6310 gpu. | 17:27 |
| paulus68_1 | PsyMar: your welcome | 17:27 |
| YokoBR | this is the installer http://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/ubuntu-amd-catalyst-install | 17:27 |
| YokoBR | Believe me, i've tryied many ways to use this drivers, on many distros.. this installer where the only thing working. | 17:29 |
| jack--- | YokoBR, was | 17:30 |
| jack--- | not where | 17:30 |
| YokoBR | jack---, sorry, english is not my native language. | 17:31 |
| jaredforthewin | Does anyone know of a good Ubuntu screen recording software? | 17:31 |
| grnt | YokoBR: tested AMD driver is available from Ubuntu repositories. | 17:31 |
| grnt | There's no need to used anything from thefanclub whatever it is. | 17:31 |
| YokoBR | grnt, legacy proprietary 13.1? | 17:31 |
| smallPACS | hello all | 17:32 |
| smallPACS | I am attempting to "upgrade" from a really old version of ubuntu and instead of doing all the incremental update stuff I have decided to do a fresh install | 17:33 |
| grnt | YokoBR: if you need 13.1 specifically then the best way is to build a package using AMD's installer. | 17:33 |
| bazhang | jaredforthewin, kazam | 17:33 |
| jaredforthewin | Good. | 17:33 |
| grnt | If thefanclub suggests this, then it's fine. | 17:33 |
| Guest35362 | I need a sound device/HDMI wizard. | 17:33 |

| smallPACS | except I am wanting to burn an ISO image of my desired ubuntu distribution but not to a CD/DVD but a USB drive | 17:34 |
| SchrodingersScat | oh, that might not have been accurate | 17:34 |
| darklajid | What can I do if a package is missing files from upstream? Is contacting the maintainer bad form? | 17:34 |
| grnt | YokoBR: legacy driver is not compatible with recent Linux kernel versions and X.org versions. If you need it, then you have to use older kernel and older X. | 17:34 |
| grnt | Probably as far back as 10.04. | 17:35 |
| smallPACS | I've seen a variety of software that can do this but now someone has mentioned something using daemon tools to burn the ISO | 17:35 |

| igadget | Hi... Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to view the progress of fsck when it's been launched from palimpsest? | 17:35 |
| YokoBR | 3.2.0.5 | 17:35 |
| smallPACS | just looking for a quick and dirty way to get the latest release on my system and replace the old distribution | 17:35 |
| ikonia | palimpsest ? | 17:35 |
| grnt | That definitely won't work. 3.2.0.5 is too recent for 13.1 catalyst. | 17:36 |
| ikonia | what's a palimpsest | 17:36 |
| paulus68_1 | smallPACS: do you work with ubuntu only or also with windows | 17:36 |
| igadget | ikonia: a.k.a. Disk Utility | 17:36 |
| zamba | i have a strange problem with my ubuntu.. i have connected a minijack connector to my mic input.. | 17:36 |
| YokoBR | omg, it's working right now. I'm using it right now. | 17:36 |
| zamba | i had sound for a while, but all of a sudden nothing.. | 17:36 |
| ikonia | igadget: why would you not use fsck from the system, rather than a 3rd party one | 17:36 |
| zamba | i've tried everything, but i'm not able to get any input | 17:36 |
| YokoBR | the only problem is that i have a mouse lag on the desktop | 17:36 |
| zamba | i've checked the cable and there's audio there | 17:36 |
| grnt | YokoBR: that sounds very weird, but whatever. | 17:36 |
| smallPACS | paulus68_1: I am currently running a partitioned dual boot system with windows 7 and Ubuntu | 17:36 |
| zamba | any idea how to debug? | 17:37 |
| igadget | ikonia: well because Disk Utility has this nice little button called 'Check Filesystem', which I clicked | 17:37 |
| ubob_ | Does anyone here have experience with SSH? | 17:37 |

| ikonia | igadget: so you'd rather click a button with no idea of it's status, than type "fsck" | 17:38 |
| ikonia | igadget: you'll need to talk to the people who make that app then, as it's nothing to do with ubuntu | 17:38 |
| paulus68_1 | smallPACS: boot into your windows and use this link http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows | 17:38 |
| YokoBR | i'll try to disable acpi on grub | 17:38 |
| ubob_ | A client asked me to delete domain servers from an SSH server. I have the server connect info, I connected through putty, but what now? | 17:38 |
| igadget | ikonia: well it's an integral part of ubuntu | 17:38 |
| ikonia | igadget: in what way ? | 17:38 |
| igadget | ikonia: it's installed by default | 17:38 |
| ikonia | igadget: is it ? | 17:38 |
| ikonia | !find palimpsest | 17:38 |
| ubottu | File palimpsest found in gnome-accessibility-themes, gnome-icon-theme-gartoon-redux | 17:38 |
| ikonia | that shows as a them ? | 17:39 |
| ikonia | not an app | 17:39 |
| igadget | ikonia: maybe I misspelled it, hang on | 17:39 |
| ikonia | igadget: https://help.gnome.org/users/palimpsest/ is that what you mean ? | 17:39 |
| igadget | ikonia: that's the one | 17:40 |
| ikonia | igadget: https://help.gnome.org/users/palimpsest/3.0/palimpsest.html thre is the docs for it | 17:40 |

| Guest35362 | SchrodingersScat: what ever..... I had planned to enjoy and listen to music this night and i was really in the right mood for it. but some useless update from canonical har magically removed the HDMI output option in sound manager. So here I am without music staring at a screen with a hole lot of text that do not interest me. And I have been doin it for a long time without getting any closer a solution to my problem. I am grumpy and wan | 17:40 |
| Guest35362 | t to keep the steem up. Sorry I am not a polite linux expert like you ;) | 17:40 |
| igadget | ikonia: so I noticed... but I guess it's more of a general *nix thing - palimpsest simply launches fsck in the background, and I figured there might be a general way to display the output of programs that are run into the background? | 17:41 |
| smallPACS | paulus68_1: Will pendrive affect any files I already have on the flash drive (i.e. do I need to partition the usb??) | 17:41 |
| paulus68_1 | smallPACS: all files on the usb drive will be removed | 17:42 |
| smallPACS | paulus68_1: Further, once I create ISO, I assume I'm simply booting from USB and following | 17:43 |
| smallPACS | paulus68_1:the GUI's instruction to replace my current old distribution, correct? | 17:43 |
| tty2 | anyone know why xfce4 isnt doing transparencies for me, and how i can fix that? | 17:43 |
| paulus68_1 | smallPACS: this tool is taking care of it, and yes after you boot it will give you a live cd envirement where you can select the required options | 17:43 |
| paulus68_1 | smallPACS: you have the option to remove everything and "format the drive" as it was a newborn baby :) | 17:44 |
| smallPACS | paulus68_1: sounds good. Thank you for your brain | 17:44 |
| paulus68_1 | smallPACS: in fact you can only use USB or other external drive now since the iso is to big to burn on cd and to small for a dvd | 17:45 |
| Guest35362 | SchrodingersScat: by the way. the ubottu you summon with your previous message take up way more space and flod the channel more than a man asking to ask. to ask to ask is polite and a way to sonder if someone has knowledge on a topic and maybe able to help | 17:45 |
| OerHeks | tty2, install the prop videodriver | 17:46 |
| smallPACS | paulus68_1: Too big?? Are the newer distributions getting that much larger?? | 17:46 |
| tjbiddle | Anyone here maintain a private APT repository? I've been using reprepro for it - Is this considered the best tool? | 17:46 |
| smallPACS | paulus68_1: I thought an advantage to using Ubuntu was that it wasn't very memory intensive | 17:47 |
| paulus68_1 | smallPACS: the current iso for 13.04 is about 785 mb tall on a normal cd it's only possible to get 700 mb | 17:47 |

| smallPACS | paulus68_1: Or is that just in comparison to Windows ;) | 17:47 |
| igadget | ikonia: never mind... I spent so much time now figuring out how to get it to display it's progress, that it's finished already... *sigh* | 17:47 |
| ubob_ | How do I delete SSH domain servers? | 17:48 |
| paulus68_1 | smallPACS: Ubuntu isn't a memory draining OS just the iso is bigger then a regular cdrom and therefore a usb stick is the solution to your problem | 17:48 |
| Prolac | hello, is it possible to rename proccesses? | 17:48 |
| smallPACS | paulus68_1: Gotcha | 17:48 |
| grnt | What in the world is "SSH domain server" | 17:49 |
| paulus68_1 | smallPACS: I used this tutorial aswell and it works like a charm | 17:49 |
| ubob_ | grnt, I have no idea. A person gave me a list of domain names, and asked me to remove them off the server SSH domain | 17:50 |
| ubob_ | A domain such as http://ws10.ciwebgroup.com/ | 17:50 |
| genii | ubob_: If you want to remove the ssh daemon, uninstall the package openssh-server | 17:50 |
| ubob_ | No I don't want to do that | 17:50 |
| grnt | genii: obviously it's not what is needed | 17:51 |
| genii | ubob_: Maybe they mean that these machines have access by keys (not password) , and to remove the keys they have | 17:51 |
| grnt | ubob_: he probaby asked you to login via SSH and edit domain name records... probably on a DNS server running. | 17:51 |
| ubob_ | genii, maybe. That makes sense, but how would I do that? I have over 400 domains I need to remove.. | 17:52 |
| grnt | ubob_: keys should be stored under ~/.ssh | 17:52 |
| Pici | ubob_: I think you need more information from your 'client' | 17:53 |
| genii | ubob_: You should probably ask them for clarification | 17:53 |

| OerHeks | linuxearth, sure, install it side-by-side or replace opensuse | 18:04 |

| grnt | Ownix: man fstab | 18:06 |
| linuxearth | grnt: on external usb also it can be installed? | 18:06 |
| gordonjcp | Ownix: no | 18:06 |
| OerHeks | !fstab | 18:06 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 18:06 |
| grnt | linuxearth: yes. | 18:06 |
| linuxearth | but then how would i use that? | 18:06 |
| linuxearth | the usb can be inserted anywhere>? | 18:06 |
| linuxearth | and then directly i can use? | 18:06 |
| grnt | linuxearth: you would plug this USB drive with installed ubuntu, turn on your machine and before it boots anything manually select to boot from external USB HDD through BIOS. | 18:07 |
| OerHeks | linuxearth, no, you need to boot from it | 18:07 |
| linuxearth | grnt: oh i see, but how do i install in it? | 18:07 |
| linuxearth | OerHeks: why? | 18:08 |
| genii | linuxearth: Normally when you start the computer it looks in an order of things to boot from. If you have a CD/DVD, set that to be the first boot device in BIOS. If you have an USB stick or drive, set that to be the first device, etcetera. | 18:08 |
| linuxearth | okk | 18:08 |
| linuxearth | got genii but how do i install in usb? the ubuntu? | 18:08 |
| linuxearth | can you please give me the link? | 18:08 |
| linuxearth | or instrutctions? | 18:08 |
| linuxearth | whatever... | 18:08 |
| linuxearth | consider myslef a newbie | 18:09 |
| grnt | linuxearth: boot from burned install cd, attach external USB HDD, start installation from desktop shortcut, when installer asks you where to install, select your attached HDD. And be sure to install bootloader (There would be such option) to that attached HDD too. | 18:09 |
| genii | linuxearth: Do you want to copy the DVD install to the USB, or you want to boot from DVD and then install Ubuntu onto the USB? I am unclear on which you want. | 18:09 |
| linuxearth | genii: i want to use ubuntu, and i consider to use usb for it better as grnt suggested, means to install ubuntu on pen drive and then booting pc from it | 18:10 |
| linuxearth | means would give me the idea of ubuntu without changing the present configuration | 18:11 |
| Guest30342 | Hello | 18:11 |
| linuxearth | and side by side i can compare opensuse and ubuntu | 18:11 |
| daftykins | hi | 18:11 |
| grnt | linuxearth: I suggested to install on external HDD, not a pendrive. Even though it is possible too, performance may suffer depending on a pendrive. | 18:11 |
| Guest30342 | how r u m new here | 18:11 |
| linuxearth | external HDD? but if i have a pen drive of size 64 gb, it won't work as an external HDD? | 18:12 |
| daftykins | Guest30342: this channel is for support only, no chat | 18:12 |
| genii | linuxearth: So I would suggest to boot from the DVD, and install to the USB from there as if it was a regular hard drive. | 18:12 |
| linuxearth | external HDD? but if i have a pen drive of size 64 gb, it won't work as an external HDD? | 18:12 |
| daftykins | genii: you're completely misunderstanding the intention by the way. | 18:12 |
| linuxearth | and that USB can be a pen drive of size 64 GB? | 18:13 |
| genii | linuxearth: Pen drives/USB sticks are not really a good place to put a regular install because the operating system uses the drive a lot and wears it out quickly. | 18:13 |
| grnt | linuxearth: it will work, but I don't know how good it will be in terms of performance (file access/read/write speed). Probably 64 GB will be as good as HDD. | 18:13 |
| gaurav__ | hii | 18:13 |
| linuxearth | grnt: oh i see | 18:14 |
| linuxearth | genii: oh i see | 18:14 |
| linuxearth | genii and grnt: to boot first from dvd and then to install it to the usb should be an easy task for a novice, though would i recognize the usb from the name, something like: /dev/sda... or anyother method would be there? | 18:15 |
| linuxearth | while during the process | 18:15 |
| grnt | linuxearth: use `sudo blkid` command in terminal to find out. All pendrives are usually labeled in an easy to recognize manner. | 18:16 |
| grnt | If not you would notice by it's size (64G) anyway, during installation. | 18:16 |

| genii | linuxearth: The names will still be the same, yes, like sda sdb and so on. You will probably be able to tell the USB because of it's size | 18:18 |
| genii | linuxearth: When it wants to put GRUB, you will want to tell it to put it on the USB and not your main hard drive | 18:19 |

| ElixirVitae | With lts, no less. | 18:37 |
| grnt | repudiate: downloadable ubuntu ISO is here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop | 18:37 |
| grnt | Get it and install/put it anywhere you can/want. | 18:38 |
| ElixirVitae | So amny FloodBots~ | 18:38 |
| repudiate | grnt: Even for a VM install, right? | 18:38 |
| daftykins | ElixirVitae: i would wager the point being made is that the lxde part is not getting supported, grafting it onto 12.04 wouldn't change that | 18:38 |
| repudiate | Doesn't change anything? | 18:38 |
| grnt | No. | 18:38 |
| grnt | No = doesn't change. | 18:38 |
| darklajid | I'm missing a package in debian/ubuntu (some files from upstream are not part of any package for dovecot). Any tutorial for rolling my own package? | 18:38 |
| appkins | Has anyone had any luck getting unity 3d hardware-rendered in virtualbox and ubuntu 13.04? | 18:39 |
| ElixirVitae | So, daftykin, what about getting "some" lxde parts from PPA or any other alternative means? | 18:39 |
| grnt | If you need it in VM, decide on what virtualization software you need first. VirtualBox or VmWare Player (Windows). | 18:39 |
| daftykins | ElixirVitae: also unsupported! :) | 18:39 |
| ElixirVitae | Well, I need support for the OS itself, not the programs I add into it. | 18:39 |
| ElixirVitae | Like kernel and other shenanigans. | 18:40 |
| appkins | Has anyone had any luck getting unity 3d hardware-rendered in virtualbox and ubuntu 13.04? | 18:40 |
| daftykins | ElixirVitae: ah, give it a whirl then | 18:40 |
| tty2 | OerHeks: ohyou mean proprietary? it is already installed | 18:40 |
| daftykins | appkins: don't repeat yourself. we're not ignoring you! | 18:40 |
| ElixirVitae | So, it will be same. | 18:40 |
| reisio | appkins: I don't recall, did for Windows once, IIRC | 18:40 |
| ElixirVitae | And, while I am at it, why no LTS love for lubuntu? | 18:41 |
| sharpy35 | hey ubuntu geeks. how can i prevent flashplayer from being updated? i found this command which works for firefox - echo "firefox hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections how can i use this for flashplayer? just replace firefox with flashplayer? | 18:41 |
| appkins | I've installed the vbox guest additions | 18:41 |
| appkins | 3d support is enabled | 18:41 |
| daftykins | appkins: keep it on one line please. | 18:41 |
| reisio | sharpy35: apt pinning, maybe? | 18:41 |
| sharpy35 | what do you mean with apt pinning? | 18:42 |
| sharpy35 | i mean i know apt | 18:42 |
| cotton | anyone mirroring repos? how large is the source compared to without..? I'm mirroring just main and universe. | 18:42 |
| sharpy35 | but dunno what you with pinning mean | 18:42 |
| cotton | and that was 50GB | 18:42 |
| cotton | without sources... | 18:42 |
| BluesKaj | sharpy35, Firefox and flashplayer are dependent on each other | 18:42 |
| sharpy35 | the reason why is, i am sick of edit the libflashplayer.so so that the fullscreen remain open while i am "working" on my other desktop | 18:43 |

| Aquaword | maybe its ubuntu related, my google chrome toolbar text are shortened like ja.. for javascript , any idea why? | 18:44 |

| bezaban | guess you ownixed yourself (sorry) | 18:53 |

| repudiate | grnt: Can I just choose the iso file when installing or? | 18:53 |

| repudiate | Rory: Yes | 18:54 |
| bezaban | Ownix: possibly it is running file system checks if a max mount count was met, how long ago did you boot? | 18:54 |
| repudiate | Rory: Thanks | 18:54 |
| dreamon | Rory, Its only white and after 20-30sec. It changes to black but no buttons .. nothing. chrome means "shockwave flash couldnt be loaded. but already installed "adobe-flashplugin" | 18:54 |
| Ownix | boot time generally takes like 20 seconds. Its been 4 or 5 minutes n | 18:54 |
| Rory | dreamon: Let's try Firefox first. Can you please run: "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer" from the terminal? | 18:54 |
| bezaban | Ownix: on every 30th (?) or so boot (mount really) it will check filesystems, this can take a while if you have big ones | 18:55 |
| Rory | Ownix: Also it will check filesystems if the system wasn't shut down cleanly | 18:55 |
| bezaban | if serious errors are encountered it could have halted on that, and again what rory said too :) | 18:56 |
| dreamon | Rory, Ok. It installed some stuff. | 18:56 |
| Rory | dreamon: OK, now restart Firefox and try again | 18:56 |

| Gerowen | Just out of curiosity, I've never customized my Unity desktop. I remember in older releases, Gnome had a built in "Theme" app that would let you install themes you downloaded from gnome-look.org and other like places.

| Patrice | yes, i use my usb for something else, i can't | 19:27 |
| Patrice | resio | 19:27 |
| jhutchins | abradley: There are programs that can move or resize partitions, but you should have a full backup if you're going to try that. They're slow, and if you already have the backup it's easier to just repartition the disk from scratch and restore. | 19:27 |
| abradley | sandbox vm | 19:28 |
| Rory | Does /etc/fstab expect a trailing newline? | 19:28 |
| Patrice | how to make the ISO of ubuntu server bootable, please? | 19:28 |
| jhutchins | abradley: Yeah, that ended up between 1&2. fdisk will always pick the first available sector. In this case, you probably wanted it to pick the first sectore AFTER partition two. | 19:28 |

| jhutchins | Patrice: make sure the md5sum of the iso matches the one listed on the server; then verify that the burn was correct with your burner program or take the md5sum of the CD device and that should match the iso & web site. | 19:32 |
| Patrice | all the content of the ISO image. I don't know.. I downloaded the ISO from ubuntu's site | 19:32 |
| Rory | !md5sum | Patrice | 19:32 |

| jhutchins | Patrice: He's checking to see if you actually burned the iso filesystem to disk or just saved the iso file, which is different. | 19:33 |

| Prolac | is it possible to rename proccesses? | 19:37 |
| Rory | Prolac: Could you re-phrase that? What are you wanting to achieve? | 19:37 |
| Rory | Patrice: Specifically here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 19:37 |
| BluesKaj | dreamon, are you clicking on the downloads button the adobe flash website or ? | 19:38 |
| Patrice | thanks, i'm reading | 19:38 |
| dreamon | BluesKaj, Yes.. the yellow one | 19:38 |
| odium | I found that I need this package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/powernowd/1.00-1ubuntu5 but I can't seem to install it conventionally, why is this? | 19:38 |
| BluesKaj | dreamon, did you choose the linux,tar.gz version first ? | 19:38 |
| Rory | odium: What Ubuntu version are you using? | 19:39 |
| dreamon | BluesKaj, Yes | 19:39 |
| Prolac | Rory, I'd like to prevent pkill cmd from disabling certain process | 19:39 |
| odium | Rory, saucy salamander | 19:39 |
| Rory | !13.10 | odium | 19:39 |
| odium | uhh, 13.10 | 19:39 |
| ubottu | odium: Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) will be the 19th release of Ubuntu. Announcement: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1252 - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1. Release date will be 17th October 2013. | 19:39 |
| Rory | odium: Join there and I'll try to help you | 19:40 |
| havv | I have a five year old laptop with 2GB RAM, will it run ubuntu 13.04 smoothly? I'm currently using lubuntu and I'm considering to switch | 19:40 |
| Rory | havv: Probably not as smoothly as Lubuntu. Have you considered Xubuntu as a "compromise" ? | 19:40 |
| Armadillos | !13.04 | 19:41 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.04/ - Release notes: http://ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/13.04 | 19:41 |
| reisio | havv: yes it'll be fine, particularly if it has a dedicated gpu | 19:41 |
| reisio | but probably regardless | 19:41 |
| havv | it's integrated :\ | 19:41 |
| TJ- | havv: It will depend on the CPU and GPU capabilities if you're talking about ubuntu-desktop. 2GB is usable so long as you don't overload it with large applications or data all running at once | 19:42 |
| BluesKaj | dreamon, and you don't get a dialog like this http://wstaw.org/m/2013/10/04/snapshot2.png ? | 19:42 |
| reisio | usable? 2gb is plenty | 19:42 |
| Prolac | Rory, no ideas? | 19:42 |
| thnee | the volume control is maxed at 10% to 100% which basically makes it an on/off switch. how can I debug this? | 19:42 |
| mavarazo | Hello, i need some help :). I just installed Ubuntu Server 12.04 but instead of getting to the grub2 menu, it drops me to the bios | 19:42 |
| reisio | mavarazo: what do you see? | 19:43 |
| havv | I'm mostly using it for developing in RoR, but I might need to run eclipse every once in a while | 19:43 |
| mavarazo | UEFI BIOS | 19:43 |
| reisio | mavarazo: I doubt you see that... | 19:43 |
| dreamon | BluesKaj, No its different. | 19:43 |
| jhutchins | !uefi | 19:45 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 19:45 |
| raub | mavarazo: do you mean it dropped you in grub? | 19:45 |
| mavarazo | no... it drops me into bios | 19:46 |
| jhutchins | Patrice: An incomplete or corrupt image is the most common reason for something not to boot these days. | 19:46 |
| dreamon | I try to start xarchiver .. so it might be possible to extract | 19:46 |
| TJ- | mavarazo: The EFI firmware command-line? | 19:46 |
| mavarazo | i think i can open that | 19:46 |
| jhutchins | mavarazo: Is it using Secure Boot? | 19:47 |
| mavarazo | yeah... but i cant disable it | 19:47 |
| BluesKaj | dreamon, ok , look for the flashplayer.so file in your file manager , it's probly in downloads | 19:47 |
| Rory | Is there a way to get the "find" command to escape spaces to I can pipe it into xargs or use it in a loop, without sed trickery? | 19:48 |
| TJ- | mavarazo: I don't think 12.04 had support in GRUB or kernel for secure-boot. You'd need the latest development release for that, 13.10 | 19:48 |
| mavarazo | uhhh... now i get the grub minimal-bash | 19:48 |
| c3f59 | Rory: Backslashes File\ Name.ext | 19:49 |
| Rory | c3f59: Thanks I know, but I want find to do that automatically | 19:49 |
| TJ- | mavarazo: Do you mean the initial RAM-disk's busybox shell? | 19:49 |
| Patrice | Thanks jhutchins. So i have to check MD5 on the ISO AND on the DVD? Or just on ISO is enought? | 19:49 |
| c3f59 | Rory: ah, sorry, didn't read the whole discussion | 19:49 |
| Rory | c3f59: For example if the output of "find" is currently "this is a file" I'd prefer it to be "this\ is\ a\ file" | 19:50 |
| Rory | Patrice: Just the iso is sufficient | 19:50 |
| c3f59 | Rory: okay…. let me think | 19:50 |
| Patrice | thanks | 19:50 |
| mavarazo | don't know... is labeld als minimal bash-like line editing | 19:50 |
| Rory | c3f59: I can *do* it, it's just messy. I was wondering if there was a simple way | 19:51 |
| dreamon | BluesKaj, No, I cant download. Its hopeless .. every time on differnet ubtunu maschines it tries to start a app after downloading. (most time softwarecenter) if I choose xarchiver it pops an Error | 19:51 |
| c3f59 | Rory: Try piping the output through sed. something like sed -e 's/ /\\/g' | 19:52 |
| dreamon | BluesKaj, I found a way | 19:53 |
| Ownix | I edited fstab, now my server wont boot and I get this error: http://imgur.com/NwIGcNp also I booted to a live CD, mounted the disk and opened up fstab and all the stuff that was in there before is now gone | 19:54 |
| dreamon | BluesKaj, Ok, I copied file.. and now? | 19:55 |
| dreamon | BluesKaj, Its now in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins | 19:56 |
| CQ | is there any way I can figure out if can use FB-DDR2s on my MoBo or not? I don't think it can use ECC ... MoBo is http://www.msi.com/product/mb/G45M.html#/?div=Basic | 19:57 |
| CQ | or does FB mean ECC automatically? | 19:57 |
| BluesKaj | dreamon .in the terminal type wget , then paste the url and enter | 19:57 |
| Ownix | Okay I am now able to access my fstab from my live CD. How do I interpret these errors?? http://imgur.com/NwIGcNp | 19:57 |
| dreamon | BluesKaj, The way, was to choose download for different OS.. so I could download the thing.. | 19:58 |
| BluesKaj | dreamon, on the whole tar.gz file , just the libflashplayer.so file | 19:58 |
| BluesKaj | not | 19:58 |
| dreamon | BluesKaj, Yes.. only the libflashplayer.so I copied as root to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins | 19:59 |
| Stinky-Feet | Rory: Is this what you are are after? http://notfaq.wordpress.com/2006/07/30/unix-filenames-with-spaces-in-find-xargs/ | 20:00 |
| dreamon | BluesKaj, Now reboot? | 20:00 |
| BluesKaj | dreamon, ok , now will probly need to reboot | 20:00 |
| kriskropd | does anyone here know how to force elinks to download a file to local disk regardless of file type? something like a "save link as" ? | 20:02 |
| zykotick9 | kriskropd: "d" perhaps | 20:03 |
| Rory | Stinky-Feet: -print0 I KNEW there was a quick way! | 20:03 |
| reisio | wget | 20:03 |
| Rory | Thanks also c3f59 that's exactly what I was doing before | 20:03 |
| kriskropd | zykotick9: nope :/ | 20:03 |
| Ponch0 | I think I finally figured out my WIFI issues on Ubuntu!, how do I read up about "txpower" the options available with it and to make changes permanent? | 20:03 |
| kriskropd | zykotick9: D brings upt he manager though | 20:04 |
| dreamon | BluesKaj, This fucking thing drives me crazy. Dont work at all. no animation. ath helpx.adobe.com/lash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html | 20:04 |
| zykotick9 | kriskropd: lowcase "d" is download link current link? | 20:04 |
| IdleOne | dreamon: No swearing please | 20:04 |
| BluesKaj | dreamon, if you downloaded a yum or rpm file it won't work on ubuntu | 20:05 |
| Ponch0 | No swearing?! that's closed source english than! | 20:05 |
| kriskropd | zykotick9: i thought it was too! then over the past few days I noticed elinks started to not recognize files I used to download frequently either :/ its like there was a config change, but I haven't modified or updated anything related to elinks directly :( | 20:05 |
| Ponch0 | It goes against the philosophy | 20:05 |
| dreamon | BluesKaj, No I only downloadet the tar.gz an extracted.. copied.. | 20:06 |
| zykotick9 | kriskropd: it works here, d -> Save to file | 20:06 |
| hid | hi has anybody have a black screen while installing ubuntu from minimal? | 20:06 |
| hid | black screen within virtualbox | 20:06 |
| zykotick9 | kriskropd: perhaps try without your current .elinks folder? perhaps you have changed something? | 20:06 |
| BluesKaj | dreamon, install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 20:07 |
| dreamon | BluesKaj, But the file isnt in that directory.. I copy once more | 20:07 |
| BluesKaj | bo just do it, you need some dependencies etc , dreamon | 20:07 |
| cson | dreamon: I had the same problem and BluesKaj is right, install the extras packages. | 20:08 |
| Patrice | ok so the checksum MD5 was ok... | 20:08 |
| BluesKaj | I thougfht he already had | 20:08 |
| dreamon | cson, BluesKaj -> says "its already the newest version" | 20:08 |
| Patrice | i did what they say and i compared : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes | 20:08 |
| Patrice | All is the same but the CD still not bootable... | 20:09 |
| cson | If I remember correctly, I was even prompted to install the adobe plugin during the extras install. | 20:09 |
| reisio | Patrice: does it show the files in your file manager? Or the .iso? | 20:09 |
| Patrice | wait, let me check | 20:09 |
| === hassan is now known as Guest43852 | ||
| BluesKaj | dreamon, then reinstall it | 20:09 |
| wilee-nilee | hid, You might ask in #vbox | 20:09 |
| kriskropd | zykotick9: weird, removing elinks.conf didnt fix it, but removing the whole .elinks folder did work - thanks for th eusggestion | 20:09 |
| kriskropd | zykotick9: suggestion* | 20:10 |
| c3f59 | Rory: piping through sed -e 's/ /\\ /g' should work | 20:10 |
| hid | wilee-nilee: the problem solved itself XD, thank you | 20:10 |
| reisio | find + print is betta | 20:10 |
| zykotick9 | kriskropd: glad you got it working | 20:10 |
| Patrice | it shows me the content of the ISO | 20:11 |

| === Alagar2 is now known as Guest32355 | ||
| zykotick9 | kincho: actually, it's possible with pulse as well (and a LOT easier then messing with jack) | 20:14 |
| kincho | zykotick9: reisio is pulse a program? | 20:14 |
| reisio | kincho: separate | 20:15 |
| Patrice | reisio the path is /media/Ubuntu-Server 12.04.3 LTS i386 | 20:15 |
| zykotick9 | reisio: is jack not a sound server? like pulse? | 20:15 |
| reisio | Patrice: okay | 20:15 |
| reisio | Patrice: check your BIOS boot order | 20:15 |
| Patrice | all is ok | 20:15 |
| reisio | zykotick9: sure | 20:16 |
| kincho | zykotick9: so can you help me to do this? | 20:16 |
| Patrice | it's trying to boot on CD but it says "no bootable CD found" | 20:16 |
| kincho | reisio: what is jack? a program? | 20:16 |
| reisio | Patrice: sometimes the order isn't enough, you have to disable the other devices | 20:16 |
| jack--- | kincho, pulseaudio is a complete sound system | 20:16 |
| reisio | kincho: yup | 20:16 |
| zykotick9 | kincho: not really, i did it years ago - i don't use pulse anymore though... but i've NEVER gotten jack working at all. | 20:16 |
| reisio | a complete sound system that relies on alsa :p | 20:16 |
| jack--- | pretty different from jack | 20:16 |
| Patrice | i did, i i also chose the CD device on the Toshiba boot page | 20:16 |
| kincho | zykotick9: so how do I make it work with pulse? | 20:17 |
| Patrice | Bios and Toshiba boot splash are on CD | 20:17 |
| BluesKaj | zykotick9, what do you use for audio on web sites? | 20:18 |
| === jtanner is now known as jtanner|food | ||
| zykotick9 | kincho: i'd search online if i where you. perhaps "recording from pulse audio" as a search or something? you need to install some non-default pulse config stuff, then manually select to record from the output. but i don't remember the exact details, sorry (it was a number of years ago i use to do it) | 20:18 |
| zykotick9 | BluesKaj: pure alsa? | 20:18 |
| BluesKaj | zykotick9, I can't get alsa to work on web audio without pulseaudio | 20:19 |
| zykotick9 | BluesKaj: which IS an issue these days, if you have more then one sound device showing up. | 20:19 |
| BluesKaj | zykotick9, yes I do , i have the onboard and the pci | 20:20 |
| zykotick9 | BluesKaj: "cat /proc/asound/cards" is the card you want listed as 0? if not, i've never gotten firefox to be able to use it. | 20:20 |
| dreamon | Now getting a crash .> /usr/lib/firefox/plugin-container .. | 20:21 |
| BluesKaj | zykotick9, yes my m-audio shows as card 0 , the onboard hda-intel shows as card 1 | 20:21 |
| zykotick9 | BluesKaj: and is it m-audio or onboard you want to be using? | 20:22 |
| kincho | zykotick9: I tried recordMyDesktop but it only recorded what I sang in the mic | 20:22 |
| dreamon | might be a audio problem? | 20:22 |
| BluesKaj | dreamon, I'm using m-audio as my preferred yes | 20:22 |
| zykotick9 | kincho: i have no idea about recordmydesktop sorry... | 20:23 |
| BluesKaj | oops zykotick9^ | 20:23 |
| BluesKaj | zykotick9,, I'm using m-audio as my preferred yes | 20:23 |
| zykotick9 | BluesKaj: i'd "think" that "should" work by default... sorry, i don't have any suggestions. | 20:23 |
| dreamon | BluesKaj, In the protocol it showes playback faults. root audio and so on.. sis Si7012 | 20:23 |
| dreamon | SIS7012 | 20:24 |
| BluesKaj | it works , but not on websites , even with pure alsa , zykotick9 | 20:24 |
| zykotick9 | BluesKaj: ya, i knew what you meant, i was talking about firefox/web. | 20:24 |
| dreamon | I will try to stop audio in Bios | 20:25 |
| BluesKaj | it's been like that since 11.10 i think , zykotick9 | 20:25 |
| BluesKaj | dreamon, no don't do that | 20:25 |
| dreamon | BluesKaj, ? | 20:25 |
| zykotick9 | BluesKaj: well, we are using different OSes... so i really can't say??? but, i feel your pain - i've been there. | 20:25 |
| BluesKaj | dreamon, remove flashaplayer-installer | 20:26 |
| dreamon | BluesKaj, OK | 20:26 |
| zykotick9 | BluesKaj: typo above i think flashAplayer? | 20:26 |
| BluesKaj | yes it's a typo | 20:26 |
| Patrice | "no bootable CDROM on atapi" etc... | 20:28 |
| dreamon | BluesKaj, you mean "flashplayer-installer"? | 20:28 |
| Patrice | still the same | 20:28 |
| BluesKaj | dreamon, yes | 20:28 |
| Patrice | i just burnt another one, checking sum etc, and the problem keep the same. The CD is NOT bootable. | 20:28 |
| fancyfetus | Why is my battery functioning poorly with Ubuntu? | 20:29 |
| fancyfetus | I can't imagine that the two are related. | 20:29 |
| reisio | Patrice: what OS is on the box now? | 20:29 |
| fancyfetus | and it would be a huge coincedence if my battery failed the day i installed ubuntu over windows | 20:29 |
| fancyfetus | but it says that my battery is not present | 20:29 |
| BluesKaj | Patrice, where did you get the iso file ? | 20:30 |
| dreamon | BluesKaj, No -> flashplugin-installer | 20:30 |
| fancyfetus | it sometimes recognizes it but takes days to fully charge and empties in a matter of seconds. | 20:30 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, that's right dreamon | 20:30 |
| Patrice | i got it on ubuntu website | 20:31 |
| dreamon | BluesKaj, and than? | 20:31 |
| Patrice | when i read the CD from Windows, there is nothing inside. The CD Seems empty, but it's not. Under ubuntu i see all | 20:32 |
| Patrice | my OS here is Xubuntu. On the server i want to install it, there is XP | 20:33 |
| reisio | Patrice: it's probably empty then | 20:33 |
| reisio | Patrice: what're you burning with? | 20:33 |
| Patrice | no, if i put it in ubuntu machine, i can see all the CD | 20:33 |
| zykotick9 | Patrice: if windows can't see any content on the CD, it isn't right... that's for sure. windows SHOULD see stuff. | 20:33 |
| jack--- | winblows. can't be a real server. :P | 20:33 |
| Patrice | i use XFburn | 20:33 |
| BluesKaj | dreamon, try to remove anything related to flash at this point including the the alternate.so in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins , and startover from scratch | 20:33 |
| reisio | Patrice: try this from a terminal: cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=/dev/sr0 path/to/install.iso | 20:34 |

| Patrice | shift? ok let's try | 20:53 |
| === dsdsdsdsds is now known as qqqqqqqq | ||
| zykotick9 | tozen_: 1) shift on boot is for grub (i doubt that works with livecd) 2) if windows doesn't see contents on the CD, something is very wrong. | 20:54 |
| Patrice | shift is not doing anything | 20:55 |
| Patrice | yes shift is to show the grub menu on boot | 20:56 |
| jammes_884 | i am using it but im a little confused about partitions that i need | 20:56 |

| wylde | darklajid: I wanted xz compression included in squashfs-tools, so I followed the guide I posted to grab source, edit the needed files, compile package and upload to my own ppa | 21:42 |

| Dr_Willis | now for an actual support question.. got a ssh shell going to a remote.. after a wile it just seems to hang. or disconnect (a time out setting perhaps?) but shouldent it say somtning like 'client disconnected' or closed connection? the shell just sort of returns nothing and hangs. | 23:44 |
| k1l | Maja1991-BGD: that is a internal ip that doesnt work in here. and ref links are not welcome | 23:45 |
| Ben64 | Dr_Willis: usually happens because a bad connection, but it is possible for the link to be severed and not bring back a disconnected message | 23:45 |
| Dr_Willis | i thought it may be bad connection also. since im getting to the server over my cellphone. for now i run tmux when i connect and it never seems to hang after that. ;) | 23:47 |
| backtrackuser | hello | 23:48 |
| kxtwo | let me just say | 23:49 |
| kxtwo | seriously | 23:49 |
| kxtwo | F redhat :) | 23:49 |
| repudiate | I don't know shit about Linux, even how to install these packages. Where is a good place to get started learning? | 23:49 |
| Dr_Willis | i just notice i seem tohave some extra bash logins still hanging around from the ssh sessions that have disconnected. ;) | 23:49 |
| blz | How can I mount an internal SATA drive that isn't in fstab? | 23:49 |
| Dr_Willis | !manual | repudiate | 23:49 |
| ubottu | repudiate: 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/ | 23:49 |
| Dr_Willis | blz: use a full proper mount command | 23:49 |
| Dr_Willis | !mount | blz | 23:50 |
| ubottu | blz: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 23:50 |
| Ben64 | repudiate: watch the language here, and which packages? normally you'd use the software center to install stuff | 23:50 |
| blz | Dr_Willis, thanks | 23:50 |
| Dr_Willis | blz: example.. 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/Make-a-dir' | 23:50 |
| hid | hey i've just installed ubuntu minimal. How to add default folders? | 23:50 |
| repudiate | Ben64: But I want to know how to install stuff without the software center as well | 23:50 |
| blz | Dr_Willis, ah that's what I've been doing wrong, I think. I don't think I made a dir in /media -__- | 23:50 |
| hid | I mean, i there a better way than mkdir ~/Documents, etc? | 23:50 |
| Ben64 | repudiate: depends what it is but that could potentially mess up the system | 23:50 |
| Dr_Willis | blz: the mountpoint MUST exist beforhand..or mount will give an erorr that sort of says that | 23:51 |
| blz | Dr_Willis, I got no error... oh well. It seems to be working now =) | 23:51 |
| Dr_Willis | hid: you mean for all new users? make a /etc/skel/ layout how you want and new users get that as their base | 23:51 |
| johndoesz | mkuser? | 23:51 |
| blz | Dr_Willis, is there a way to determine what the filesystem type is? | 23:51 |
| Dr_Willis | blz: sudo blkid. fdisk -l, perhaos other commands | 23:52 |
| Dr_Willis | blz: or use -t auto ;) it auto figured it out most of the time | 23:52 |
| repudiate | Ben64: This is my first day on Ubuntu or Linux for that matter. I was first trying to follow directions to install some software that I later found I can install through the Software Center--but not everything will be there, right? | 23:52 |
| hid | Dr_Willis: only for me | 23:52 |
| Dr_Willis | repudiate: the software center shows whats in the ubuntu repositories. | 23:52 |
| blz | Dr_Willis, I just wanted to know for myself. I'll give those a shot | 23:52 |
| blz | thanks again | 23:52 |
| Ben64 | repudiate: the software center has a ton of stuff, and for stuff that isn't there, you can try to find a PPA that has it | 23:53 |
| Dr_Willis | repudiate: theres unoffical repositories. and ppa's you can add for most stuff | 23:53 |
| repudiate | Dr_Willis: Oh, who puts things there? | 23:53 |
| repudiate | Dr_Willis: PPA? | 23:53 |
| Ben64 | !ppa | repudiate | 23:53 |
| ubottu | repudiate: 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 | 23:53 |
| Dr_Willis | !ppa | repudiate | 23:53 |
| Dr_Willis | ;) | 23:53 |
| repudiate | Dr_Willis: When I search the Software center, am I searching official and unofficial repositories? | 23:53 |
| Dr_Willis | note that ppa's CAN cause issues. and are best avoided if you dont really need the packages from them | 23:53 |
| Dr_Willis | repudiate: if you added any other repos or ppa's you search them all | 23:53 |
| Dr_Willis | repudiate: what are you wanting to install? | 23:54 |
| syntroPi | repudiate, adding a ppa means trusting the ppa's owner with your systems root rights | 23:54 |
| repudiate | k-touch | 23:54 |
| ShadowBlaze18 | are you allowed to use Ubuntu's trademarks to label a pc that is being sold that has Ubuntu on it? | 23:54 |
| Dr_Willis | !find k-touch | 23:54 |
| ubottu | File k-touch found in php-doc | 23:54 |
| repudiate | syntroPi: Oh okay, thanks. | 23:54 |
| Dr_Willis | repudiate: no idea what k-touch is. it dosent seem to be in the repos | 23:54 |
| repudiate | But I really want to make sense of this make file stuff. | 23:54 |
| Dr_Willis | repudiate: start with the ubuntu manual. and go from there. | 23:55 |
| Dr_Willis | !apt | repudiate | 23:55 |
| ubottu | repudiate: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Muon (KDE) or !Apper (KDE) | 23:55 |
| repudiate | Dr_Willis: I found it in the Software Center, it's just slow to download. | 23:55 |
| repudiate | Just finished | 23:55 |
| Dr_Willis | repudiate: depends on the server load. ;) | 23:55 |
| blz | How do I add an unpartitioned drive to my an LVM's logical volume? | 23:55 |
| repudiate | This is overwhelming for me right now. Thanks a lot guys. | 23:55 |
| Dr_Willis | repudiate: think of the software center as a 'app market' ;) its about the same idea. only you can customize what 'stores' you look at. | 23:56 |
| blz | repudiate, stick with it. It gets easier and you'll wonder how you ever managed to use anything else =) | 23:56 |
| Dr_Willis | repudiate: and the apt system has been around for Decades longer then the android or apple market idea | 23:56 |
| Dr_Willis | repudiate: learn the command line apt tools also. it can be a lot faster to use them | 23:57 |
| jack--- | <3 aptitude | 23:57 |
| repudiate | Thanks. | 23:57 |
| Dr_Willis | i only use a small fraction of all the apt systems features | 23:57 |
| Dr_Willis | and ive bene using linux for years. ;) | 23:58 |
| pmatulis_ | blz: pvcreate | 23:58 |
| _-Frustat3d-_ | there's a bug with "Disk Utility". It cannot actually create an encrypted partition following these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemsOnRemovableStorage | 23:58 |
| _-Frustat3d-_ | can someone here confirm the bug and file a bug report? | 23:58 |
