[00:00] Dr_Willis, so its good to have both ? [00:00] jmgk: both desktop and mobile? You bought it allready so you have it? [00:00] yep [00:00] I do . I'll get it now [00:00] :) [00:00] Brb [00:00] so you allready have both. :) [00:00] * Dr_Willis is still confused [00:01] how do I disable seahorse entirely and get rid of it [00:01] ?

Looking at OpenXChange / DSpam and puting together one with DSPAM, postfix, calendarserver, and roundcube. Anyone know anything about either approach?

People hate it with a passion, and with good reason [00:04] 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] causing the connection to fail [00:05] hi [00:05] can i install rpms if using ubuntu live? [00:05] in memory [00:05] rettype the key ,agliodbs [00:05] !alien | Freel0ader [00:05] 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] sofie_: what key? [00:06] Freel0ader: doable.. but useing rpm's is generally not a good idea [00:06] sorry. not rpms [00:06] 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] for connecting to your external server [00:06] sofie_: I have no idea what you're saying [00:06] i just want to run ubuntu from a dvd and install pcscd and run it and install coolkey and use firefox with it [00:07] is that doable? [00:07] 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] 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] I'm just using ubuntu for a year so.... [00:07] Freel0ader: yes, your good to go [00:07] ram is fine [00:07] pretty beginner [00:08] sofie_: Same here, I got 12.10 when it was released, and been on Linux ever since [00:08] what's the ubuntu distro for a dvd? live? [00:08] ubuntu live? [00:08] wow, Seahorse is a steaming pile of #^$%$^%&^ [00:09] malm?

[00:11] my performing name is Citrix lol, I use citrix on my work computer, but somethings its easier to boot from ym laptop into [00:12] nick__: mint is not ubuntu, its only based on ubuntu... and mint is not supported here [00:12] 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] pfifo, I had it working in 13.04. It is a mint question then? [00:12] gmachine_24: Wanting X Windows, or just erminal? [00:12] err, terminal* [00:12] Armadillos; just terminal is great thanks [00:13] nick__: not sure, never dont the mint thing... id hqave to say the program was included from mint [00:13] gmachine_24: Just make sure you have the SSH dameon installed, and you have port 22 open in your firewaall. [00:13] Armadillos: ok, thanks [00:13] 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? [00:14] I'm going to sleep now, thnx a lot guys [00:14] 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] sofie_, what was your question? [00:14] nick__: anything in the repos, xdm gdm... kdm in #kubuntu [00:15] 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] 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 [00:16] nick__: http://superuser.com/questions/124174/how-can-i-specify-the-repository-from-which-a-package-will-be-installed-emacs [00:16] I installed a dedicated firewall server(pc with freeBSD) with fsence/firewall and I' still under heavy attack [00:16] nevermind, gdm actually spawns ssh-agent automatically; I just had to ssh-add [00:17] lol [00:18] bye nick__ [00:18] nick__: not sure, check out gnome-look.org they should have everything you need [00:18] milamber, thanks. when i do apt-cache showpkg mdm i only see the mdm package from ca.archive.*ubuntus repos* [00:18] sofie_: call you ISP [00:19] nick__: i think milamber was directing that at foobarwhat [00:19] 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] my ISP is attacked by the NSA [00:20] 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] nick__: sudo apt-get update [00:20] milamber, i did sudo add-apt-repository ppa:*repo location* // sudo apt-get update // [00:20] nick [00:21] i do most stuff through terminal [00:21] hi Dr_Willis wso I'm on that app [00:21] its not bad [00:21] :) [00:21] nick__: if that ppa offers other packages, can you see them via: apt-cache policy [00:22] nick__: also, make sure you are connecting when you do the update(s) [00:23] 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 [00:24] nick__: what tutorial are you trying to follow? [00:24] 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] nick__: it is your machine, but rebooting to solve issues is often jokingly frowned upon here [00:25] http://www.webupd8.org/2012/11/how-to-install-latest-mdm-display.html [00:26] 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] 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] ok [00:27] anybody here? [00:27] ahhhh, im still used to windows in some ways. when you have to reboot more frequently. [00:28] so, I don't se where in the Ubuntu install is the option to install RAID [00:28] nick__: what version of ubuntu are you using? [00:28] 13.10 daily [00:30] 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] 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? [00:31] 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 === mini is now known as Guest94208 [00:32] 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? [00:36] 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] milamber, mdm is one without a saucy version [00:36] :( [00:37] nick__: what exactly are you typing to install the repo? [00:39] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 [00:40] 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] How would I bridge from network cable to wifi with the wifi being on a seperate subnet [00:41] nick__: here is the link https://launchpad.net/~nilarimogard/+archive/webupd8?field.series_filter=saucy [00:41] the other option is to install a repo from a supported version. however; that is definitely not recommended and not supported here [00:41] i can't install ubuntu [00:42] 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] why does transmission-daemon install 50 different conf files but only use 1 of them? [00:43] 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] Pinkamena_D, you need to bridge your network [00:43] on forums it has said that network manager can do this [00:43] nick__: that link i sent shows only 12 packages or so available for that repo in saucy [00:43] yah [00:43] Pinkamena_D, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkConnectionBridge [00:43] blabla "create net network" and then change the type to "infrastructure" [00:43] 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] new* [00:44] are there any gnome2 or xfce4 applets for sports scores? [00:44] this makes it very difficult to figure out which file to edit in order to change settings === Guest15188 is now known as bigtip [00:45] 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 === bigtip is now known as Guest57751 [00:46] nick__: no worries [00:46] how do I add extra IPs to a NIC?

[01:36] even typing it in manually when choosing "connect to hidden wifi" doesnt help [01:37] Tylertwo: This is the command that it ran install-docs -r nethack-spoilers [01:37] any idea what possible reasons might be?

The ubuntu bug reporting app keeps saying the bug has already been reported on launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1210875), however this bug doesn't seem to exist. What's up with that? [02:03] Error: ubuntu bug 1210875 not found [02:03] commonly in the past theres a /boot/ partion thats not part of the raid toothe used to boot the system. but that may or may not be needed in all cases [02:07] evening all, is there a tablet that is compatible with ubuntu?

[02:10] sorry for caps. [02:15] what the heck? on my ubuntu, i'm finding totally different WLANs [02:15] hows that possible? [02:15] only one in common is a "FRITZ!Box 6360 Cable" [02:15] senlis: Gammax theres been a new version of it came out like last month.. [02:15] 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] what's the latest LTS that uses the real gnome desktop ? [02:16] OY1R: if you mean gnome2 - there is no longer a lts that uses it i belive [02:16] gnome2 is dead [02:16] ah and a "WLAN-0024FE42F6E6 [02:16] all others are different [02:16] 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] so, this guide demands that I set the RAID device as bootable, but I cannot. [02:16] and i cant see my personal one from my ubuntu notebook [02:16] damn. [02:17] 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] then theres all the gnome2-classic/lookalike variants that i dont use. ;) [02:17] gnome2ish, does it look/feel exactly like gnome 2? [02:18] Nothing looks and feels exactly like gnome2 [02:18] dont even expect it. [02:18] you can setup xubuntu to be fairly close if you want somting lighter then gnome-shell [02:19] The odd thing is that the computer doesn't completely freeze.

[02:22] damn, the guide does not metion that at all, but its worth a shot. What does the /boot drive consist of? [02:22] i'm new! don' ask me! [02:22] Senlis: as far as i know - yes. you need to use bublebee to make fulluse of optimis stuff [02:22] i'm new! don't ask me! [02:22] toothe: filesystem for /boot/ could be ext2/3/4 your choise [02:22] Dr_Willis: I'll give it a shot, thanks [02:22] Dr_Willis: What is the /boot drive used for again? [02:22] toothe: thats where the kernel and grub boot files are at [02:23] i'm new! don't ask me! [02:23] ZH__: can you stop that now please?

[02:31] 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] it's an intel onboard gpu [02:31] 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 [02:32] on windows there's black bars when i play [02:33] plus, the nvidia-settings gives me the classic message "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver….run nvidia-xconfig" [02:34] Senlis, so run it as root [02:34] I've had nothing but problems with nvidia drivers, since 13.x releases :S [02:35] same thing.

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.

[02:54] fresh install [02:54] yes [02:54] i'm thinking it would be worth buying an ATI card to replace my NVIDIA one [02:55] Senlis: what driver did ubuntu use for default install?

[03:54] CrazyZurfer: try this guide http://lifehacker.com/5403100/dual+boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-in-perfect-harmony [03:54] legg1: nope, anything happens [03:54] :S [03:55] Paulus68_1: ok, i think that's the only thing I can do [03:55] damn, this weird problems [03:55] I'd check gparted from the http://sysresccd.org/ image [03:56] and then look in the BIOS options and check for ata stuff [03:56] CrazyZurfer: You can try the Windows Ubuntu installer for a previous release, then dist-upgrade it to 13.04, or soon 13.10 [03:56] CrazyZurfer: there are also some other guides to tell you have to use the same profile from firefox and such to share within both OS [03:56] then it HAVE to see your windows [03:56] anybody that just join know the best way to use Geforce 670 on 13.04? [03:57] Senlis: install a driver, use it [03:57] legg1: if you check out my link you see that the best way of creating a dual boot in Win 7 is to resise the partition [03:57] reisio: when I did that, the computer would freeze about 30 minutes after logging in [03:57] I have a steelseries 5h usb sound card I want to use when gaming... it's showing up as "Headphones - Audio adapter"... do I need to install some sort of linux drivers? [03:58] reisio: worked fine on nouveau [03:59] when is ubuntu 13.10 comming? === sgerbino is now known as p1und3r [03:59] !13.10 |crazyZurfer [03:59] crazyZurfer: 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. [03:59] Senlis: so use nouveau? [03:59] 17th [04:00] I have a steelseries 5h usb sound card I want to use when gaming... it's showing up as "Headphones - Audio adapter"... do I need to install some sort of linux drivers? It works perfectly (plug and play) on winblows [04:00] reisio: While that is a valid option, the NVIDIA drivers have a lot better performance === jack is now known as Guest6440 [04:00] CrazyZurfer: but does gparted show when you run it on your live cd? [04:00] Nouveau got some serious performanceissues compared to prop drivers [04:00] Paulus68_1: it shows me errors [04:00] serious is a stretch [04:00] reisio, legg1: from what I saw on a benchmark a month ago, games would get 10 fps on nouveau that would get 200+ fps with NVIDIA [04:01] card 1: Set [C-Media USB Headphone Set], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] [04:01] Subdevices: 1/1 [04:01] Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 [04:01] Senlis: okay, you should try another version of the nvidia drivers, then [04:01] I"m still on this same damn roblem with RAID [04:01] it shows up fine with aplay -l go figure [04:01] toothe: what about raid? [04:01] hi [04:01] hi again, serapath [04:01] Paulus68_1: http://s11.postimg.org/c124pb2qr/Captura_de_pantalla_de_2013_10_04_04_01_06.png [04:01] how can i update all my hardware and drivers? [04:02] reisio: i've tried several different version of nvidia drivers. I just found an interesting guide that shows how to blacklist nouveau before installing NVIDIA, i'm gonna try that [04:02] reisio: The damn installer is broken or something... [04:02] i have a feeling like a lot of them are not installed properly, but dont know how to check it and update if necessary [04:02] CrazyZurfer: can you boot into your win7 run diagnostigs and try again [04:02] reisio: Out of frustration I madethis short video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pPn28VzGeo [04:03] Paulus68_1: Might me I did something wrong when installing w7, cause the pc came with W8 and i deleted all partitions because of this GPT === Jan11 is now known as ON1 [04:03] phones should realy come with tripods [04:04] Paulus68_1: what is diagnostigs, is it a microsoft's software? [04:04] toothe: what's the problem? [04:04] CrazyZurfer: when possible to a reinstall of win8 or win 7 and during install remove all the partitions, [04:04] reisio: I'm trying to install Ubuntu Server, and I cannot get past the RAID part. [04:04] reisio: Let me start from the beginning. [04:04] I have 2 TB HD's that I want to install Linux on, RAID 1 [04:04] toothe: what do you want raid for [04:05] data backup and redundancy [04:05] reisio: So, my understanding is that you can do whole-disk raid, correct? [04:05] that isn't what raid is for [04:05] I want RAID 1, if that answers the question... [04:05] Paulus68_1: I've deleted all partitions, even samsung's recovery [04:05] you can do a number of things with raid, but none of them are for backups [04:05] closest would be mirroring ^^ [04:06] wrong word, pardon the usage of that word. I meant to say MIrroring, RAID 1 [04:06] 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] toothe: what do you want that for? [04:06] reisio: If one HD blows up, the second is still functional. [04:06] Paulus68_1: Ok, i'll try [04:06] toothe: that's not really how it works [04:06] reisio: But, I cnanot get past the installation of the HD's. [04:06] reisio: ...yes it is... [04:06] nope [04:06] it's exactly what it's for ;o [04:06] I'll be back soon [04:07] failsafe incase a drive breaks [04:07] exactly. [04:07] replace it, rebuild, no dataloss [04:07] legg1: Exactly. [04:07] so, te installation guide tells me to do something that does not work. [04:07] the installation guide tells me to make a RAID drive bootable, but that option is not possible. [04:08] unfortunately i've never used software raid via the OS, only via raidcontroller, so dont know about that :/ [04:08] gah, I don't know where to begin... [04:08] sure its not saying to use the bios and select the raid drive as the boot device? [04:08] so, during the install, I go to Manual configuration of the partition. [04:08] 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 [04:09] i dident think the boot flag mattered to grub or ubuntu [04:09] * toothe checks [04:11] hello [04:11] i wanna build ubuntu with some little tools [04:11] how i could do that [04:11] !remaster [04:11] Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !LiveCD or !Alternate installer? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization - Or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [04:12] Shabrawy: easy way would be to make a live-usb with the tools [04:12] can even make a install-iso out of your current operationsystem with all settings and apps [04:12] so you can have a easy reinstall like factory reset for recoverypartitions etc [04:13] i wanna make a small OS [04:13] Shabrawy: why's that? [04:13] may be 30 MB [04:13] DSL [04:13] Shabrawy: why [04:13] it's already done [04:13] you time travelling to the 1970s? [04:13] tinycorelinux = 35mb [04:13] i want to install it on thin clint [04:13] thin client doesn't mean 30MB [04:13] http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ 50mb [04:14] ya but it only with 32 MB flash [04:14] i got alot of them [04:14] that's a ridiculous, fantastical constraint [04:14] microcore linux = 10mb [04:14] ok that's cool [04:14] well glue them to your floor and you'll have done something useful with them [04:14] Linux 0.1 was what, 800kb or something? [04:14] hhhhhhhhhhh [04:15] the other porbose [04:15] i thought a thin client could do netboots from a server [04:16] ya it can [04:16] but i don't know what kind of solutions to use for this [04:16] the mail problem is i want pcoip support [04:16] on small os [04:17] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto this for example [04:17] ah, the heady days of 32KB operating systems [04:18] back to work on my RaspberryPi 'super computer' with 512mb of ram. [04:18] haha [04:18] ;) [04:18] Shabrawy: There's always Puppy Dog Linux. It's rather small… 300MB? 400MB of disk usage maybe? [04:18] ya i've downloaded it [04:18] Puppy Linux is a very very weird linux in many ways [04:19] but it dosn't support pcoip [04:19] no idea wht pcoip even is. [04:19] pcoip it a protocol for DVI [04:20] used in vmware view [04:20] it has alot good stuff [04:20] flash compressing [04:20] in rdp [04:20] the p [04:21] the streaming looks like fuzzy [04:21] but in pcoip it dosn't [04:28] 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] so you are doing all this work for watching videos on a thin client? [04:29] KxTwo: theres a connect to server.. item in the nautilus menus [04:29] Oes Ubuntu's installer have fdisk anywhere? I can't seem tof in dit. [04:29] KxTwo: i also use the 'sshfs' tool a lot for mounting ssh servers to a local directory [04:29] toothe: might have been replaced by gdisk/gptfdisk/gfdisk, but I doubt it [04:30] toothe: fdisk is considered a bit out dated these days with gpt drives and so forth [04:30] or even parted [04:30] ther should be cfdisk also [04:30] 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] I don't see any of those in myoptions... [04:30] KxTwo: i just open a terminak and ssh to the server. ;) no need for a menu [04:30] toothe: cfdisk is a cli tool [04:30] toothe: options? [04:30] no need for a menu? [04:31] KxTwo: i ssh to my server fr a shell, or use sshfs to access files [04:31] reisio: in my /bin or /bin [04:31] 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] sory, /sbin [04:31] wow, surely there's an fdisk option somewhere here.. [04:31] !find fdisk [04:31] Found: acorn-fdisk, amiga-fdisk-cross, gnu-fdisk [04:31] sudo apt-get install gnu-fdisk [04:32] gj :p [04:32] parted is better anyways [04:32] Dr_Willis: I'm in the installer, which doesn't have apt-get. [04:32] the installer's console. [04:33] 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] toothe: no idea then. desktop live cd. lets me. [04:33] yah, this is getting crazy. [04:33] 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 [04:34] 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. === Alagar2 is now known as Guest57244 [04:34] I can see networks alright but there is no menu item to connect to any of them. [04:34] ok this is disappionting, the older versions had this set up better. [04:34] Though I heard that 13.04 has "places" again [04:34] AlonzoTG: you could alwyas try the cli tools. or try the connect to hidden network. [04:34] It's not hidden. [04:35] It's listed in the menu, [04:35] I can edit it. [04:35] can Icall someone her? [04:35] KxTwo: theres always indicator applets to get some of that stuff [04:35] I can set a password, [04:35] AlonzoTG: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:35] BUT i CA'NT CONNECT TO THE GODDAMNED MOTHERFUCKING THING!!!! [04:35] AlonzoTG: and you can still try the hidden menu thing even if its seen [04:36] I would just edit with nano but havent figured out how to get syntax highlighting working lol [04:36] KxTwo: i recall some indicaor applets that had lists of ssh servers you can connect to. [04:36] KxTwo: what are you doing exactly - accessing files on the remote as if they were local files or needing a shell? [04:37] Dr_Willis, just accessing my project files and editing them. [04:37] KxTwo: you could use sshfs and mount the server to a local folder when you login. [04:37] no need to get crazy [04:38] its a better solution in many ways then what you are doing [04:38] this seems to work fine [04:38] not really sure what makes it that much better [04:39] 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 [04:40] plus it works with any of the desktops, or window managers [04:40] sshfs is indeed nice and straightforward [04:40] and even secure [04:40] nautilus and its .gvfs stuff can be.. picky at times. ;) [04:41] i've box that user should enter passphrase before mounting the root partition .. i think lvm encrypted.. how to disable this feature [04:41] hmm.. the root partion has to be mounted when the system boots. so somthing seems weird there fishcooker [04:42] you mean it asks at boot up? [04:42] just installed 12.04, it boots up to cli, how do i set it up to start x at boot. [04:43] OY1R: you installed the servver or desktop edition? [04:43] desktop. [04:44] unity is installed, but i have to login and startx manually. [04:44] try 'sudo service lightdm restart' and see if it starts x [04:44] err.. startx is not installed by defaukt i thought any more. unity is, [04:45] lightdm is set to start by default on a normal ubuntu install [04:45] yea i start unity with startx [04:45] 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+ [04:46] OY1R: try 'sudo service lightdm restart' and see if it starts x [04:46] or sudo service lightdm start [04:46] that killed unity, now it's just blinking _ _ [04:47] i had unity running but manually with startx after reboot. [04:48] ;eggl zykotick9 also i dont have sound on youtube [04:48] legg1: [04:48] so: no 3d effects, no sound, no wlan > channel 11 [04:48] ah maybe it did do the trick, i'm now getting the normal login (gui) [04:49] my notebook is slow as hell,even though its 2x2,5ghz+4gb RAM [04:49] restarting lightdm will kill off any current X session [04:50] and lightdm should start automatically by default. unless you are booting into Text mode, or recovery mode. or have disabled the service === Guest11462 is now known as jampola [05:01] hello anyone [05:05] can some1 give the link to ubuntu logs [05:06] solved it, the wifi card I use goes down on any soft-boot or suspend mode, the machine must be cold-booted for the wifi to work. =((( [05:08] Is there a way to not allow myself to connect to the internet unless I'm connected to my VPN? I'm using nm-applet as my gui interface and an openvpn VPN. [05:10] justanotheruser, only allowing in and out access to the vpn host itself via firewall rules [05:10] okay, I think I'm making progress now. === Guest15188 is now known as bigtip === bigtip is now known as Guest51198 [05:14] ok i just made a 4096 bit self signed ssl certificate for my server so I can use https with it. how do I trust the certificate? [05:15] Mr_Wizard: you mean #ubuntu logs, or the logs on your system? === Guest51198 is now known as bitcoin [05:17] zykotick9, thanks i mean #ubuntu logs [05:17] !logs | Mr_Wizard [05:17] Mr_Wizard: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too. [05:17] ubottu, thanks [05:17] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [05:18] How do I only allow in and out access to my vpn host via firewall rules through command lines [05:19] Any one knows how to authenticate samba shared folder with ldap. I was able to authenticate the samba server shared folder with ldap server in one unit. But how about separate servers.... samba server shared folder on the other unit and the ldap server in another unit? any ideas. [05:21] nope [05:22] I need to maket his fucking device bootable. [05:23] !language | toothe [05:23] toothe: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [05:23] and by that do you mean 'set the boot flag on the partition' ? or 'install grub to the mbr of the drive' [05:23] ubottu: I apologize... [05:24] Dr_Willis: A partition can be set as bootable. [05:24] however, for whatever odd reason, this device is not bootlab.e [05:24] 'set as bootable' in your terms means you want to set the boot flag? [05:25] yes. [05:26] 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] Dr_Willis: So, I am unable to install grub on /dev/sda [05:26] I do not know why. [05:28] 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] Dr_Willis: do I need to have free space at the beginning of the drive for grub to write on? [05:28] perhaps that's the issue? [05:29] so the install finishes. and then the final steps of grub setup. it mentions an error [05:29] grub files go into /boot/ and grub bootloader goes onto the MBR of the drive [05:29] it does...let me regenerate the error. [05:29] You Might want to try the boot-repair tool from a live-cd. I dont know how smart it is when dealing with raid === Alagar2 is now known as Guest92066 [05:33] this url mentions command line ways of instlling grub. but again i dont see any mention of raid specific notes or warnings. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing [05:34] Unable to install GRUB in /dev/sdb [05:34] Executing 'grub-install '/dev/sdb' failed. [05:34] is that the error? (or close) [05:34] hi [05:35] anyone know of an easy way to serve up .mp3 files for people to listen to via http? something like soundcloud but for a personal website [05:35] 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 [05:36] i'm already beginning to dislike ubuntu again :-( [05:36] no sound, no 3d, wifi issues [05:37] and lack of knowledge how to open programs through hotkeys or how to customize my desktop [05:37] 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] 'lack of knowledge' is always an issue. but fixable. ;) [05:37] !manual [05:37] 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] serapath: everybody needs to learn [05:38] as for the rest.. that may be harder [05:38] Paulus68_1: yeah sure, if i run windows, i have sound,have 3d, have no wifi issues [05:38] 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 ... ;) [05:39] 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] my only major beef with Ubuntu is the switch to unity. other than that it's great. [05:39] lspci command can also tell us the wifi chipset. whioch will be a critical bit of info to get wifi going [05:40] OY1R: and how long have you been using unity now? [05:40] i dont. [05:40] i'm on 10.04 [05:40] serapath: also lshw can inform you which driver you need to install for sound and 3D [05:40] so your only beef is with somthing that aparently you have never used. ;) [05:40] 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)? [05:41] Dr_Willis, i tried it, but went back. [05:41] I guess I'd also prefer avoiding pinning it to a particular version if possible? [05:41] Paulus68_1: lots of stuff in that file [05:41] 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] serapath: try to locate your sound card [05:42] 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] !ppa-purge [05:42] 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:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [05:42] actually if you upgraded. the ppa may have allready been disabled and purged [05:43] but i guess you can try to purge it manually [05:43] description: VGA compatible controller product: 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller vendor: Intel Corporation [05:43] escription: Audio device product: 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller vendor: Intel Corporation [05:46] serapath: can you check if your laptop/pc is listed here http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/catalog/component/pci/8086:1e20/ [05:46] Dr_Willis: the ppa was disabled, but the installed packages were still present. Thanks, looks like ppa-purge is fixing it. [05:47] Any installed ubunt on Phone? [05:47] tech2: odd that the ppa had a newer one then the updated release. :) [05:47] !touch | l624 [05:47] l624: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch [05:48] Paulus68_1: nope [05:48] Dr_Willis: bluez, the kernel, there's a few. In this case it was a snapshots repo for vim, so I'm not _too_ surprised. [05:48] thanks wills [05:53] serapath: sorry I'm running out of options here [05:53] gotta have the latest vim ;) they are always adding so many new features. heh. [05:53] or not. [05:53] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lenovo_Ideapad_G580 [05:54] would it be a solution to install arch instead of ubuntu? [05:54] heh - i always 'find' answers on the archlinux wiki also. [05:54] sounds as if it works with arch [05:54] often the answers can be used on ubuntu [05:54] Morning! [05:54] howdy :) [05:54] but its weird that intel stuff is not working. normally Intel hardware is very problem free [05:55] i have no 3d [05:56] this is one of the things i hate most [05:56] drivers not working [05:56] thers only 3 questions in total about the ideapad g580 on askubuntu.com [05:56] this is the single most important issue that always made me go back to windows [05:56] and i'm already thinking about just uninstalling ubuntu and go back to win7 [05:57] win7 works like a charm [05:57] intel does have their 'latest drivers installer tool' at that 01.org site i recall. and theres the xorg edgers ppa. [05:57] serapath, i feel your pain, just hang on in there. [05:57] every time i try ubuntu, which is maybe every 12 to 24 months.... its the same sad experience [05:58] Hmm. This guys G580 has a differnt wireless card then what you said you had above. [05:58] 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] why is there not such a thing in ubuntu? or is there? [05:58] the drivers are normally all built into the kernel. so its actualy only a few cases that you update just the 'drivers' [05:59] totally differnt design philsoply then how wondows does it [05:59] iirc the hardware manager in Windows shows what hardware is installed based on the drivers installed. [05:59] 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" [06:00] Ive definatly had the windows hardware manager be brain dead. "insert driver disk for 'generic pci wireless card'" great. ;) [06:00] chrome no , chromium-browser is in the software center [06:00] 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] 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] the last time that stuff occured was winXP [06:01] serapath: i had it happen with windows 7 just a few weeks ago. ;) [06:01] ok [06:01] but it was a very very cheap bit of hardware. ;) [06:01] is there another distribution that would more easily solve this automatically? [06:01] 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] maybe linux mint_ [06:01] ? [06:02] yeah mint is good [06:02] serapath: go try them and see. we cant keep track of all the other disretos [06:02] serpawhat cpu you have? jw [06:02] Most intel drivers are built into the kernel and X with the open sourced drivers. so its unusual that intel hardwre has issues. [06:03] like what kind if intel cpu? jw [06:03] 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 [06:05] http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/essential/g-series/g580/index.html#techspecs [06:06] weems theres a lot of variants of that laptop also [06:06] http://blog.peacon.co.uk/ubuntu-12-10-on-the-lenovo-g580-i5-3210m/ seems to be a guide on getting 'everything' working [06:06] but its still loading here.

[06:07] Im new to this [06:07] http://blog.peacon.co.uk/ubuntu-13-04-on-the-lenovo-g580-i5-3210m/ [06:09] !irc | tehrealjared [06:09] tehrealjared: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [06:09] have fun and ask any ubuntu support questions you may have tehrealjared [06:10] Wow thanks [06:10] yeah serapath try out linux mint, you'll like it since it is more similar to windows, ubuntu is more similar to mac [06:11] Hundred: hahaha, ubuntu isnt similar to mac in the slightest. that's a joke, right? [06:11] i dont find ubuntu similer to mac at all. . ;) [06:11] and mint is more closer to the old gnome2 i belive. === Mayazcherquoi is now known as Mayzie [06:12] i installed mint 13 on my stationary pc. works great. [06:12] 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] yeah its becoming really popular now for some reason [06:13] is there another popular distro beside ubuntu and mint? [06:13] that just work? [06:13] i'd like Ubuntu on there but unity put me off, hence Mint. [06:13] ...or at least are supposed to just work? [06:13] serapath, distro that just works is Ubuntu. (99% of the time) [06:13] from what ive been googling ubuntu just works on that g580 for most people [06:14] im finding very few people having issues with it [06:14] more like >99.5% [06:14] but it could be theres differnt variants [06:14] 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 [06:15] and it NEVER worked out of the box [06:15] go hit up disrtowatch and grab some iso's make some live usb's and test them out [06:15] so 99% is a joke too :-) its statistically impossible that i have so much bad luck [06:15] :P [06:15] so, I have grub running now [06:15] or theres somthing screwy with that laptop. :) [06:15] but...that's all I have running. I have no kernel options. [06:15] ...impossible = very very unlikely [06:15] this is insanity. [06:15] you must me messing up stuff then ! [06:15] http://www.zdnet.com/mint-15-todays-best-linux-desktop-review-7000015691/ [06:15] :p [06:15] what about mageia? [06:15] http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/reviews/linux-mint-15-review-close-to-perfection === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [06:16] serapathisisa a ubuntu suport channel. if you want info about other distroes. hit up their channels.. or just go try them [06:16] pendrivelinux has tools to let you put several dozen disrto's live cd's on a single iso file [06:16] oops single USB drive. ;) [06:17] here are the most popular linux distros on http://distrowatch.org/ [06:17] try a varity or them, redhat, slackware, ubuntu and variants, try some weird ones like tinycorelinux, and puppylinux [06:17] imho, for home use, the "just works" is true for majority of users. but for business workstations, any linux distro is hardly the case in my experience. [06:18] elemantry os - is worth looking at also if you want to test [06:18] linux mint and ubuntu are distros that tend to just work, no need to manually code anything [06:20] i installed Ubuntu 12.04 lts on a laptop a few hours ago, same laptop refused to run linux mint, sluggish and slow as h... Ubuntu on the other hand runs great. [06:21] both Ubuntu (full 2d version) and Linux Mint (Cinnamon) require more powerful computers [06:21] 3d verion* [06:22] checking for TTF_Linked_Version in -lSDL_ttf... no [06:22] configure: error: *** Unable to find SDL_ttf library [06:22] I have got this error while configuring ostbox to arm [06:22] can anyone tell me why this is happening === bitcoin is now known as bigtip [06:24] vijaya, try installing libsdl1.2-dev? [06:25] I have installed that eventhough it is showing same error [06:25] oops, libsdl-ttf2.0-dev is more relevant [06:25] it's no powerhouse of a laptop, but good enough for web stuff and solitary! (~2ghz cpu 4gb ram and 120gb ssd) [06:25] I have tried in both ways even it is showing same error.. [06:25] OY1R you can try out Lubuntu or Xubuntu, they are both more lightweight compare to Ubuntu and Mint [06:26] hello, I got a thinkpad today and i'm running ubuntu. just wondering if anyone knows if there are any other options for using the fingerprint scanner other than the 'fingerprint-gui' package [06:26] one doubt I have, do I need to crosscompile the SDL for arm??? [06:26] problem: I can't see the video but can hear the audio. it happens on media player and VLC. [06:27] * Zhaofeng_Li is not familiar with that, sorry [06:27] using unity 2d [06:27] it runs unity fine(My fathers laptop), i wont touch it tho. [06:28] i'm on an old dell inspiron 9400. it runs like a dream. 2ghz intel core 2, 4gb ram and a 500gb hybrid drive. [06:28] 10.04 [06:29] has anyone faced this problem ever..... configure: error: *** Unable to find SDL_ttf library [06:30] list [06:30] #list [06:31] I just installed Ubuntu on my new laptop and it will only boot into the bios (eufi) screen. what is the prefered way to get Ubuntu to run on a eufi laptop? [06:31] vijaya: ttf -> truetypefont? [06:31] !find sdl_fft [06:31] oops :) [06:31] Package/file sdl_fft does not exist in raring [06:31] !find sdl_ttf [06:32] File sdl_ttf found in erlang-esdl, erlang-esdl-dev, erlang-esdl-doc, fp-units-multimedia-2.6.0, fpc-source-2.6.0 [06:32] sry aeon-ltd: I donot have much idea about that SDL_ttf [06:32] libsdl-ttf2.0-0 - TrueType Font library for Simple DirectMedia Layer 1.2, libraries [06:32] that looks close to me. ) [06:32] what are you trying to compile anyway? [06:32] problem is while linking.... [06:33] ./configure --prefix=$PREFIX --exec-prefix=$PREFIX --host=arm-linux CC=/home/vijaya/Desktop/xtools/arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi/bin/arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi-gcc [06:33] this is the command I am using for configuring [06:33] well that pretty much moves it out of my skill-area ;) [06:34] Dr_Willis: do u have any idea about this?? [06:34] does no one have anything to say on how to install ubuntu on a eufi laptop?? I would think that would be the most common question here [06:34] hi, i'm using kde and when trying to set desktop wallpaper with feh (feh -- ) nothing happens, what could be the reason for this? [06:35] not really. I dont develop that much. and when i do compile stuff its normally ofthe good old ./configure, make, make install routine [06:35] I did compile weechat on my raspberry-pi last week.. took the little thing like 2 hrs. [06:35] arquebus: i have installed ubuntu in an uefi laptop without problems. just make sure to configure the bios to boot from grub [06:36] flam_: could be changes to how kde does the wallpaper these days are so difernt from wht feh is expecting [06:36] earlier I was doing normal compile for x86 architecture... now I need to compile for arm [06:36] I'm on a 2008(?) MacBook Pro [MacBookPro4,1] and I'm having problems where my keyboard and mouse both cut out intermittently but often. [06:36] arquebus: is secure boot on? [06:36] arquebus, it's UEFI :) [06:36] keanne, did you convert the hd to use MBT partitions or GPT? [06:36] arquebus: but i have not done dual booting with uefi so i just disable it, less hassle [06:36] arquebus: GPT [06:36] aeon-ltd: no, I turned off secure boot [06:37] arquebus: strange that you've asked about gpt, with ubuntu its pretty straight forward. with centos i need to manually configure gpt [06:37] keanne- Im not dual booting, I just need info on how I get grub to use GPT, it looks complicated, like I have to resize the partitions with fdisk === Alagar2 is now known as Guest3094 [06:38] arquebus, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI maybe something you can check out. (if you havent already done that= [06:38] ) [06:38] this guy on experts-exchange doesn't evne read what I write [06:38] he just keeps repeating himself. [06:38] arquebus: i dont remember having that process with ubuntu. [06:39] arquebus: oh, then its easier to just turn uefi off. can't you turn if off? === g_byers is now known as gbyers[Away] [06:40] In XOrg.0.log, the (EE) lines for the trackpad/kb failure are as follows: [06:41] [ 3406.848] (EE) synaptics: bcm5974: no synaptics event device found [06:41] [ 3406.848] (EE) synaptics: bcm5974: Synaptics driver unable to detect protocol [06:42] 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] Anyone have ideas on this? [06:43] SoItBegins2: has it done this in other disrtos also? from differnt live cds? [06:44] 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. [06:45] 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] if it works however. that would point to some odd quirk with the upgrade process [06:45] hi [06:45] I'm running 12.04 now. The bug happens in both 11 and 12.04 [06:46] Or did you mean specifically run from a liveCD? === herouxma21 is now known as herouxma [06:50] yes from a live cd. [06:51] Ah, OK. Thanks. [06:51] that would narrow it down to a 'upgrade issue' or not [06:51] id even test with a 13.0x or 13.10 live cd [06:52] what tool is used by ubuntu to do the software update, does it use wget to download the files in background? [06:52] if all those have the same issue. Id then try a radically differnt disrto like Fedora or arch [06:52] mihir_: i think it uses curl. do a 'ps ax' and see whts running as it downloads somthing [06:53] ok [06:53] when in doubt, explore the os. ;) [06:54] SoItBegins2: long shot... is there such thing as a kb/m sleep function? [06:55] i'm just guessing since some mbp have kb backlights [06:56] Well, I have got one of the ones with the backlit keyboard. [06:56] Dunno what it is you're describing, though-- when the KB and trackpad go out, external keyboards and mice still work perfectly. [06:57] Be right back. [06:57] the lights go off also? [06:57] Oh. No, they don't. [06:58] (going to restart) [06:58] SoItBegins2: http://jasonrobb.com/v2/2008/11/24/macbook-pro-unresponsive-keyboard-trackpad-solution/ [06:58] mbp also 2008 [06:59] if you're trying this don't short anything/tase yourself :) [06:59] 10000000 volts of raw powar! ;) [06:59] Ah, the famous ribbon cable problem. I actually had that happen to me, but fixed it; this intermittency problem does not occur in Mac OS X, possibly as a testament to that. [07:00] or it is just revovering faster [07:00] recovering [07:00] Well, the ribbon cable problem doesn't recover until you 'unplug' and 'replug' it, which is what the cable is. [07:01] i mean the os sees and reloads/resets the hardware driver or whatever faster when it sees it disconnect/reconnect [07:01] If I'm reading the log right, I think this is a software problem where the trackpad driver zones out and then catches itself. [07:02] (brb restart) [07:03] hello, i'm seeking a conservative/libertarian girlfriend :) [07:04] Hundred, this channel is for Ubuntu issues only. For some chit-chat, try #defocus. [07:05] Hundred: try #ubuntu-offtopic or #foreveralone [07:05] I just ran rfkill list on my laptop and discovered that my wireless LAN is hardblocked. I looked in the manual and it doesnt say anything about a wifi switch. what should I do? [07:06] OK, back again. [07:06] arquebus: ive seen where people boot to windows. make sure the wifi is on. then reboot back to linux . (there are the fn-FX keys to toggle wifi also) === SoItBegins is now known as SoItBegins2 [07:06] Dr_Willis: thanks, but Im not dual booting === davide is now known as Guest78208 [07:28] morning :) OK, I failed massively... The system reported problems with libpango1.0 while building a new initrd (this is on 13.04) [07:28] so I removed libpango1.0. [07:28] :D [07:28] practically everything related to any form of GUI is now gone [07:29] heh [07:29] that's pretty fail, right enough [07:29] try installing ubuntu-desktop [07:29] it's a metapackage that ought to pull in all the deps [07:29] what I'm trying is to have a non-Unity non-Compiz desktop... [07:29] and try not installing stuff when you don't quite understand what it is [07:30] atossava: xubuntu-desktop, lubuntu-desktop [07:30] gordonjcp: that is generally good advice :) [07:30] Composite and nVidia hardware overlay don't play together, and I need the HW overlay for something [07:30] ubuntu-desktop will pull in Unity, which is the standard desktop environment [07:30] yupyup [07:30] disabling Composite in xorg.conf makes Unity very unhappy :) [07:31] composite can normally be turned on and off on the fly i thought from most desktops [07:31] This is interesting. When the keyboard fails, the backlight doesn't go out... [07:31] but the little caps lock light DOES. [07:32] dr_willis: compiz doesn't survive without Composite [07:32] looks like the ubuntu-beginners channel got shut down [07:32] theres other compositing window managers out there that can turn it on/off on the fly. [07:32] dr_willis: perhaps so, but this is the default, and it's been OK for me until now [07:32] atossava: so what desktop/window manger do you want? ;) [07:33] dr_willis: I'm comfortable with anything. I guess I should go back to twm [07:33] mwm... 4Dwm [07:33] atossava: theres dozens in the repos. ;) lightest would be jwm i belive. but its verybaic [07:33] basic [07:33] then again - its like a huge 300k ;) [07:33] !info jwm [07:33] 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] thanks [07:33] 290k! ;) [07:34] it all depends on what you need the sysem to do [07:34] light is not an issue, but surviving without Composite (which is a requirement for nVidia Option "Overlay" to work) is [07:34] what sort of overlay do you mean? i cant recall ever needing to mess with it befor [07:35] kde can definatly turn compositing on and off on the fly. [07:36] 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. [07:37] I do have ten SGIs... in the basement, and some of them might even be in working condition. [07:37] im so old.. i actually rember sun workstations and the Xi X server. ;) [07:37] And oddly enough, with the caps lock light (but not caps lock) on, the keyboard and mouse seem to be working perfectly. [07:38] Dr_Willis: Well, needing to run a Solaris app pretty much dates me, doesn't it. :) [07:38] * Dr_Willis used to irc on greenbar printing tty-terminals [07:38] * gordonjcp used to IRC over 9600bps radio modems === hXm is now known as hxm [07:39] but then again, I did that yesterday... [07:39] Mh-mh. I used to connect to BBSes with 300 bps modems back in 1984. :D [07:39] I've got the overlays enabled and Composite is not in the way. It does not work. [07:39] radio? Luxery! ;) [07:39] So I've been wasting my time, but I needed to know that. :) [07:39] if I still had a landline phone I'd fire up my old BBS === Alagar2 is now known as Guest16474 [07:39] back to the drawing board then eh. [07:40] multiplexed serial terminal (using dnet on my amiga) at 9600 baud in college/ :) i was so leet back then. [07:40] Back to the SGI stash in order to get a real X terminal going. :) [07:42] re-enable Composite, disable Overlay, install ubuntu-desktop, get things back to whatever counts as normal... :D [07:43] ill just go play with my raspberry-pi [07:45] hello people [07:47] chromium asks keyring password at starting chromium, how can i disable it?

[08:47] did you check the log file in the users home? for the xorg stuff [08:47] Strit, it's not that [08:48] ls -al ~/.xsession-errors would show its size [08:48] I cut/pasted the whole log content to a backup locations [08:48] so if the storage was filling up, it would be full [08:48] but i could paste the log content back [08:48] even though it said 0B free [08:48] viaSanctus_: is this system still running? [08:48] ? [08:48] i'm in it [08:48] how big is the .xsession-errors file? [08:49] viaSanctus_: then please pastebin a "df -h" [08:49] mine go to 17gb the other day [08:49] Strit, do you understand what I'm trying to say? [08:49] viaSanctus_: show the df-h please [08:49] how do i run a filesystem check on sdc? [08:49] "df -h" [08:50] one sec, rebooting the system [08:50] viaSanctus_, I think so, is the baclup location on the same disc? [08:50] of course not [08:50] !fsck | happyjoy [08:50] 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] oh wait, another partition [08:50] same disk [08:50] that doesnt answer my question [08:50] *how* [08:51] happyjoy: do that sudo touch.... command and reboot. [08:51] man page does not show an example of how a command is supposed to look [08:51] happyjoy: or unmount the filesystem and 'fsck /dev/sda1' or whatever [08:52] fsck [-lsAVRTMNP] [-C [fd]] [-t fstype] [filesys...] [08:52] 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] fsck -f ext4 /dev/sda1 (for example) [08:52] so i guess i did it right [08:52] no.. its not sdc [08:52] it would be sdc1 most likiely [08:52] sdc is the disk.. sdc1 is partion 1 on the disk [08:52] [08:53] hahahaha [08:55] Strit, 1129 large [08:55] it probably means bytes or kb [08:55] in any case it's not the problem [08:56] viaSanctus_: please show in a pastebin "df -h" [08:56] !paste | viaSanctus_ [08:56] what's the easiest way to grant user access over sftp and have that user locked to one specific dir? [08:56] 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. [08:57] 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 [08:58] it says /dev/sda1 size 15G used 15G avail 0 use 100% mounted on / [08:58] the rest is all on other partitions [08:58] 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] with free space [08:58] viaSanctus_: uninstall unused kernels is a good start [08:58] viaSanctus_: *sigh* [08:58] fairly simple request really, dont know why it has to be so complicated in ubuntu... [08:58] viaSanctus_: then do the apt-get commands i told you before [08:58] ddssc: its very simple [08:58] 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 [08:59] k1l, please paste it again [08:59] viaSanctus_: and remove old kernel-packages and older header packages [08:59] Dr_Willis: looking at this atm. http://askubuntu.com/questions/134425/how-can-i-chroot-sftp-only-ssh-users-into-their-homes [08:59] there are only 2 header folders [08:59] guess they are not "old" ones [08:59] ActionParsnip: then please do share. [08:59] viaSanctus_: so a "sudo apt-get autoremove &&sudo apt-get autoclean" [08:59] ddssc: in what way? [09:00] ActionParsnip: in way of words. written on my screen. [09:00] ddssc: I have OAPs and so forth using Ubuntu to browse the web, zero issues [09:00] ActionParsnip: that doesn't tell me anything. [09:00] ddssc: what are you finding not simple, exactly? [09:00] viaSanctus_: please show a "dpkg -l | grep linux-header" in a _pastebin_ [09:02] k1l: dpkg -l | grep linux-header | pastebinit ;) assuming it's installed [09:03] http://pastebin.com/BMx76Gdi [09:03] ActionParsnip: locking user to sftp access only , on his home dir only. [09:03] man I hate linux [09:04] viaSanctus_: welcome to the club :) [09:04] viaSanctus_: is this a lucid? [09:04] demand a refund [09:04] lucid? [09:04] ddssc: http://askubuntu.com/questions/134425/how-can-i-chroot-sftp-only-ssh-users-into-their-homes [09:04] viaSanctus_: stop that ranting, please [09:04] Dr_Willis, I wish I could pay and have it working [09:04] ActionParsnip: reading this as we speak [09:04] viaSanctus_: what does "lsb_release -a" give you? (please put into a pastebin) [09:04] ddssc: funny how I found that in about....what....5 seconds? [09:05] ActionParsnip: i found that before I even came to this channel [09:05] no lsb modules are available [09:05] ubuntu 8.04 [09:05] viaSanctus_: Hardy is very dead [09:05] ActionParsnip: and read the comment about it not working to lock user out of browsing the entire file system. as is usually the case. [09:05] ddssc: http://shapeshed.com/chroot_sftp_users_on_ubuntu_intrepid/ [09:05] it's a printer controller [09:05] wow a 5 yr old install. [09:05] viaSanctus_: this is out of support anyway [09:06] I just need to add a cutter device and therefor I need free space just to modify the config file === auroracr is now known as AuroraCR [09:06] cian1500ww: your release is not supported in any way you can name [09:06] k1l, it's possible to free space in windows 3.01 even today [09:06] viaSanctus_: ^ [09:06] viaSanctus_: stop that ranting! last warning [09:06] cian1500ww: tab fail, sorry [09:06] oh buy we got a hero [09:06] go ban me..very brave [09:06] viaSanctus_: and did you look at the size of the users ~/.xsession-errors file? i never saw youmention it.. [09:07] Dr_Willis, yes [09:07] 1180 large (guessing it's kb) [09:07] delete that file. and clean out all the logs. is about all i can suggest. [09:07] it could be GB [09:07] yeah [09:07] Dr_Willis, did that [09:07] How I can pen test this website [09:07] VaNNi: that's 1Mb. I recommend a clean install of Precise. It is LTS and supported til April 2017 [09:07] http://thereligionofpeace.com/ [09:07] viaSanctus_: you come in here playing the" i know everything" guy. just blaming linux/ubuntu for everything. and then running a ubunut which is out of support since ages [09:07] k1l, can we please keep it to this problem instead of my behavior [09:07] good luck with that [09:08] I'm frustrated, hence my words [09:08] it's human..happens to every guy, you 2 [09:08] viaSanctus_: its the same as calling Microsoft for Windows 98 support [09:08] viaSanctus_: they wont help you, its dead and gone. So is Hardy [09:08] hey guys. under ubuntu, what is the best way to format a windows drive [09:08] ffs..i ended up in an irc "there's a guy wrong on the net" situation [09:08] sharpy35: mkfs.nfts [09:08] I did something stupid. I burnt a video file for a friend for his xbox 360 on windows 7 yesterday. today I burnt another video but on brasero burner on my ubuntu laptop and now the other video won't show on here. yet when I switch back to 7 it reads the OTHER video I burnt. is there a way for both of them to be read on a single system? [09:08] sharpy35: or use gparted [09:08] i've never called ms in my life [09:09] i just need a meg free space [09:09] how hard can it be? [09:09] viaSanctus_: just explaining the support to you, noboy said anything a "wrong guy" === Kara is now known as Guest52928 [09:09] viaSanctus_: if its not hard, you do it [09:09] okay thanks . i will try it with gparted [09:09] 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] burnt both on a single dvd btw [09:09] michael87: you mean a multi-session dvd? [09:10] viaSanctus_: you'll probably find a new install cures your issue [09:10] Im not sure if ubuntu can access files on a 2nd session. [09:10] not even sure how windows accesses them [09:10] Dr_Willis, yeah I guess I did that. [09:10] im not even sure how to Make a multi-session dvd. :) [09:10] ActionParsnip, I'm in a production env with a whole team waiting for this to work [09:11] if i format it to ntfs with gparted, then all files and so on will be deleted right_ [09:11] can't tell them, we need a new install [09:11] I need a meg free space [09:11] thats it [09:11] hi all! I have a problem with locale and perl: "perl: warning: Setting locale failed." can anyone help me? [09:11] viaSanctus_: your release isnt supported by the community [09:11] do a scan for big files.. as you are monitoring disk space in a 2nd shell window. delte somting.. see if the space frees up .. then fills back up [09:11] dr_willis. damn :( [09:12] if somthing is filling up space as fast as you free it.. you need to determine what === Guest28345 is now known as Xeeshu [09:13] I have the language set to en_US.UTF-8 and time, currency, ecc to it_IT ... but all perl programs outputs warning of locale settings ... please, see: http://pastebin.com/bAc6LBs3 [09:13] any known problems with qtcreator <-> gdb after last 13.10 updates? [09:13] I do the locale-gen and dpkg-reconfigure locales ... without success [09:13] Dudytz: have you asked in #perl too? === Xeeshu is now known as Guest42129 [09:14] if its just a warning. it shouldent hurt anything ;) [09:14] i seem to recal seeing that error in the past ages ago [09:14] no .. ok, I ask #perl [09:14] thanks [09:14] I need to inspect traffic using burp, but not polute my phone with more certificates. it wants a pkcs12 passworded key, i created one from the pem mitmproxy is using and my phone is already set to accept. but it didn't work :( [09:14] !saucy | Guest21795 [09:14] Guest21795: 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. [09:15] has anyone used these tools and knows how to succesfully convert the certs over for burpsuit? [09:15] perhaps someone else can figure this out [09:15] I did something stupid. I burnt a video file for a friend for his xbox 360 on windows 7 yesterday. today I burnt another video but on brasero burner on my ubuntu laptop and now the other video won't show on here. yet when I switch back to 7 it reads the OTHER video I burnt. is there a way for both of them to be read on a single system? [09:15] thx [09:15] michael87: i doubt if its going to be possible on the 360 [09:15] michael87: it [09:16] its easier to just set up a dlna/upnp server ;) [09:16] disks are so ... 1990 === AuroraCR is now known as auroracr [09:16] Dr_Willis: true true [09:16] Dr_Willis: sftp over wan :) [09:17] been using Plex Server and Plex-pi lately here [09:17] Dr_Willis: yeah plex is pretty swee [09:17] Dr_Willis: plus plex can run on android too [09:18] plex was on sale a week or so ago ;) [09:18] got it then. I dont subscribe to that myplex however. === Alagar2 is now known as Guest78250 [09:35] Hello [09:35] My X-server stopped working [09:35] How can I reconfigure it? [09:35] It goes into low-graphics, but no input works [09:35] has to be commandline [09:36] !xorg [09:36] 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 [09:37] !xorgconfg [09:37] !xorgconf [09:37] 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. [09:38] Anyone? [09:38] try dpkg-reconfigure xorg [09:38] common issue.. cant say ive4 seen a common/simple fix. [09:40] lolcat: what did you do before that happend? which driver is installed? where is the driver from? [09:41] I think I may have upgraded [09:41] I think I am using the AMD one [09:42] I probably need it to make me an inframs thingy? [09:42] if its not the ubuntu driver but driver from some homepage you might need to reinstall it after a kernel upgrade [09:42] I can't enter homepages without X [09:42] How do I make it just use whatever is default? [09:43] Or would rebooint into .23 work? [09:43] startup applications, the commands set there are executed as what user? [09:43] depenmds on which ones you mean [09:43] Does anyone know of a xen-kernel package for Ubuntu that adds paravirtualisation under Xen? [09:43] lolcat: yes, you could try the odler kernel entry in grub for testing [09:43] ~/.config/autostart/ - ran as the user. [09:43] I just need ANY graphical interface [09:44] lolcat: sudo apt-get install jwm then select jwm at the login screen perhaps? [09:44] I don't need 3d or 2d acceleration [09:44] thats the most minimal window manager in the repos [09:44] Dr_Willis: I cant get to the login screen [09:44] It pops up: GRAPHICS PROBLEM DETECTED [09:44] And then it won't let me click or press anything [09:44] lolcat: you could show the dmesg and syslog in a pastebin [09:44] and the xorg log [09:44] k1l: I just want to revert to the standard driver [09:45] lolcat: so you did something with drivers? [09:45] No [09:45] I upgraded my kernel [09:45] upgraded manually? [09:46] lolcat: do "pastebinit /var/log/dmesg" and pastebinit /var/log/syslog" and show them both urls in here [09:48] k1l: It is a PITA to pastebin without X [09:48] 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] Is there any display enviroment I can start without lightdm ruinging everything? [09:48] lolcat: use a tty then and just type the shortened url into here [09:49] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6191565 [09:49] But all I need to do is to revert to the NORMAL STANDARD OPEN driver [09:49] Or even switch to the intel thing [09:51] am I supposed to enable firewall on ubuntu with ufw or leav it off, like it is by default? It kinda worries me that the firewall is off by default? [09:52] malinus, turn it on if you want. [09:53] k1l: I just need the name of the packages I need to remove [09:53] fglrx [09:53] remove it [09:53] reinstall [09:54] aticonfig [09:54] done? [09:54] lolcat: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:54] lolcat: you got a amd video card? then its fglrx, yes [09:54] make sure kernel-headers are installed for the kernel to led the module be build for you [09:59] k1l: I removed fglrx with apt and is now reinstalling, will that work? [09:59] watch out for errors [10:01] hi everybody!

Thanks === Alagar2 is now known as Guest78225 [10:40] 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] !fuse [10:40] 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 [10:41] but im not sure what fusefat does that the normal fat/vfat stuff dosent do [10:41] Dr_Willis: thanks but the problem is that I did put fuse in my user groups but still fusefat says permission denied [10:41] you did log out of the user. and reloged in? [10:41] Dr_Willis: I need to find a way to mount fat partitions as normal user,. any ideas? [10:41] yea [10:41] I did [10:42] 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] for the specific filesystem [10:42] Hi all [10:42] Is there anyone with a Macbook air 4.2 (2011) with ubuntu in dual boot? [10:42] I can succeed to install it, i really could use some help [10:42] Dr_Willis: since I don't know the partition (i only know it at runtime), I cant add it to fstab [10:43] and I don't even find any good help. [10:43] bulletxt|2: is it an internal or excternal drive? is it the same disk/partion every time? is it usb removeable? [10:43] 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? [10:44] Dr_Willis: its removable (its an SD) [10:44] tbharath: you mean 'disk space' [10:44] bulletxt|2: a usb sd reader? or built in?> [10:44] Dr_Willis, yes, with out lost of contents [10:44] !mac|Ceraphin, [10:44] Ceraphin,: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [10:44] Dr_Willis: usb reader yea [10:44] Already done [10:44] but the problem is that the installer is freezing after selecting language [10:45] 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] 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] Ceraphin, so since something like 90% plus of the users in this channel are NOT Mac users ... [10:45] I have gotten 2 blackscreen after reboots... [10:45] bulletxt|2: you are using the gui at all? or need this to be all console? [10:46] Dr_Willis, it is my another drive , /media/bharath/E8DC1A1EDC19E818/ [10:46] Dr_Willis, how I can do that? [10:46] tbharath: and what filesystem is the drive using> [10:46] Dr_Willis: console [10:46] bulletxt|2: i cant even find a fuse-fat package - but i am on my raspberry pi.

[10:54] Dr_Willis, but will it work? [10:55] asdfaaaa: I believe spatry has a video how to guide for the drivers [10:55] 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] asdfaaaa: dont use the amd site driver. use the repo driver. that is supported in here [10:55] ActionParsnip: true but I wanted to learn from installation packages... [10:55] kll: Do you have a link, thanks [10:55] asdfaaaa: check out spatry's channel on youtube [10:55] 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] ActionParsnip: Of couse thank you as well!

[10:58] bulletxt: but ive not seen a single example of fusefat being used on a DEVICE. its always on a file.. [10:59] bulletxt: that may be the core issue here. [10:59] only root has full access to that device [10:59] Dr_Willis: yea I understand what you mean... any ideas? [10:59] bulletxt: do you have a gui at all? [10:59] asdfaaaa: you should look out what error happend and not just plain reformat. [10:59] Dr_Willis: everythijng must be done from CLI [11:00] asdfaaaa: make sure the kernel headers are installed to let the video driver build properly [11:00] Dr_Willis: I'm writing bash scripts so everything must be done from consol [11:00] howdy all [11:00] Dr_Willis, I did sudo mount -o remount,fmask=027 /media/bharath/E8DC1A1EDC19E818/, but doen't work [11:00] BluesKaj, hey hey hey! Blue is here! NOW it's a party! [11:00] 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 [11:01] kll: Will try, will atleast follow the YT guide ActionParsnip sent [11:01] bulletxt: a gui right NOW to just run that tool is what im asking about [11:01] not a gui later [11:01] Dr_Willis: partitions will always be Fat16/32.. is this a problem for ntfs-3g ? [11:01] ntfs-config handles them both [11:01] Dr_Willis: ok [11:01] it has check box's to allow users full access. and it tweaqks the udisks, or udev. or whatever it is now a days.. [11:02] cfhowlett, think I'll retreat to a corner with my morning coffee :) [11:02] Dr_Willis: ok Ill see if ntfs-config helps me [11:02] then i recall theres some tool other then mount that will use that method to mount things [11:02] pdisk? i rarely need the tool [11:02] bulletxt: you did check askubuntu.com about this? theres most likely several ways it could be done === Trevor_ is now known as TrevorX5J9 [11:03] Dr_Willis: I prefered your consulting :p anyways im going to try ntfs-config now and see how it can help me [11:03] my sdcard is always /dev/mmcblk* ;) so that would make it eaasier to do here. [11:03] Dr_Willis, pdsk? [11:03] Dr_Willis: in my case it always changes and I only know the label at runtime [11:03] bulletxt: so that label is always the same? [11:04] Dr_Willis: no , it changes [11:05] Dr_Willis: I don't see how to tell ntfs-config to allow non root users to mount fat partition though === Alagar2 is now known as Guest40830 [11:05] theres a check box. [11:05] it applies to both [11:06] it says "allow to read/write to external devices" [11:06] it does not say anything else though [11:06] then you use the nautilus/cli/whatever tool that i cant rember to mount them [11:06] Dr_Willis: from cli whats the command then? mount -L $label /$folder ? [11:06] its not mount.. its some OTHER command [11:07] might be at one of the following.

[13:18] how list column name of a table plz help?? [13:18] in sqlite3 [13:19] anybody here have idea of sqlite3??? [13:20] juniour: That really doesn't have anything to do with Ubuntu support. Check sqlite's documentation. [13:21] juniour: .header on [13:22] nn0101 what this do?? [13:24] nn0101 thanks bro got it [13:24] :) [13:24] juniour: it shows table column whilst using sqlite cli tool [13:25] nn0101 yea i tried ,i got thanks [13:25] np [13:29] guys, for someone who's used to windows and slightly to ubuntu [13:29] is KDE more user firendly or gnome? [13:29] i m getting backtrack iso and i have to choose one of the two [13:30] Abbas-: 1.) backtrack is dead 2.) this channel doesn't do polls 3.) this channel doesn't support backtrack [13:30] Abbas-: I'd suggest a LOT more research before you do things [13:30] !backtrack > Abbas- [13:30] Abbas-, please see my private message [13:30] 4.all you can do in backtrack you can do in ubuntu :) [13:30] BluesKaj_: I actually think that factoid needs updating [13:31] ikonia, like the OS :) [13:31] BluesKaj_: I will deal with the factoid now [13:31] krux yeaa [13:32] how to check that there is device on ttyx? [13:32] i've serial device here [13:33] ikonia ;p [13:33] ppl still suggest backtrack for wifi research [13:33] Abbas-: That doesn't matter, this channel doesn't support it. [13:33] hmm im just wondering which one out of KDE / GNOME is more user frienldy [13:33] less shell like stuff [13:33] Abbas-: then they are fools [13:33] harsh ;p [13:33] Abbas-: Uh. Both are pretty friendly if you ask me [13:34] not at all, suggesting a dead distro is stupid [13:34] Abbas-: But GNOME is ridiculously bloated nowadays so eh [13:34] you typed like 12 wrods ;p [13:34] instead of telling me which ones easeir but k [13:34] 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 [13:35] Abbas-: You can find screenshots and other stuff on http://kde.org and http://gnome.org , see for yourself. [13:40] 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] lot's of nerds here I quess :P [13:40] Abbas-: Gnome has recently moved toward removing customization and features in favor of user simplicity. [13:40] 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] Here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2081637 [13:41] 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] 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. [13:42] ah [13:42] gud gud [13:42] i'll get it then [13:42] thx guys [13:43] ah [13:45] 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] Welp... It's october, where's the traditional countdown on ubuntu.com? :D [13:46] anyone please help. i had trouble connecting my external hard disk. Im using 13.04 here is the site http://paste.ubuntu.com/6192277/ [13:46] tsongki: Sounds like it's messed up [13:47] tsongki: try fdisk?

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] tsongki: does is mount on other OSes? [13:49] it [13:49] How can i share without iptables is there any way to do that [13:50] Zyroo: ...Read the article, it has a GUI method outlined === BluesKaj_ is now known as BluesKaj [13:50] yo [13:50] theadmin: I dont have a GUI access thats why i am here [13:51] tsunamie: what's the complete command [13:51] Zyroo: Oookay, well I'm not very familiar with CLI networking to be honest :/ [13:51] zyroo: what's wrong with iptables? [13:51] Zyroo: iptables is the best/correct way to do it, or setup a proxy such as squid, [13:51] 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 [13:52] 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] cson: I have a dedicated firewall infront of all thats why i am asking for no iptable [13:52] 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 [13:53] ikonia: Is there any way with kernel route tables [13:53] tsunamie: cool, running shit manually always helps. [13:53] iptables is the kenrel routing [13:53] so if i use ip route command iptables is working behind it right? [13:54] Zyroo: no [13:54] guys could you suggest a software like working ccleaner? [13:54] ikonia: ok [13:55] magdur_: BleachBit gets close enough. [13:56] magdur_, clean autoclean and autoremove , with apt-get [13:56] theadmin/ikonia: does compiz suck on your desktop? [13:56] cson: Uh, no. Works fine here. If you experience graphics issues the suggestion is to stay on 12.04 for now. [13:57] cson: Or just use a different DE. [13:57] theadmin: damn. I have to use 13 because 12 doesn't detect some of my newer hardware correctly. [13:57] cson: Ah. Just fire up Xubuntu for example then [13:57] saucy works perfectly here [13:59] I've already invested too much time into setting up the perfect dev environment.. 13.10 must be around the corner. [14:00] cson: You don't have to reinstall, eh, you can just install Xfce from within your current setup. [14:01] theadmin: honestly I've had really bad luck with lubuntu and xubuntu.. particularly with GRUB. [14:01] cson: sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends xubuntu-desktop [14:02] cson: sudo apt-get install xfce4 [14:02] cson: Err. GRUB has nothing to do with those -- they use the same source tree and package versions as the plain Ubuntu [14:02] nothing to do with anybuntu [14:02] I'd like to repeal a ban from #ubuntu-offtopic [14:02] grub is grub [14:02] Blacklite_: Please join #ubuntu-ops for the purpose. [14:02] Blacklite_: #ubuntu-ops [14:02] Blacklite_: ask in #ubuntu-ops [14:02] thanks [14:02] cson: Err, sorry, sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends install xubuntu-desktop [14:03] cson: lubuntu and xubuntu differ only by the default app set once the OS loads, the kernel and grub are 100% identical [14:03] cson: With recommends it will pull a bunch of Xubuntu-specific stuff in, you usually don't want that [14:03] cson: Without, it's just the desktop [14:03] 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] Warning, might crash your firefox: http://ebooks.edu.gr/modules/ebook/show.php/DSB102/536/3539,14538/extras/Activities/Kef1_1_barkaris/Kef1_1_barkaris.html [14:03] GRUB fucked up with a fresh install of xubuntu 12.04 for me.. I had to do some hackish shit on the MBR just so the laptop wouldn't boot into the windows 8 partition. [14:04] however, ubuntu got it right so there's some difference. [14:04] alkisg: Doesn't crash here. Just hangs. [14:04] theadmin: with 100% cpu usage for java/firefox? [14:05] alkisg: No, just... hangs.

[14:06] theadmin: I have the gray square here too, but in top ==> 9824 alkisg 20 0 1283m 56m 18m S 100 1.4 7:05.54 java ==> that 100% is the java cpu usage, and in .xsession-errors I see problems with net.sourceforge.jnlp.runtime.JNLPClassLoader.initializeResources === Alagar2 is now known as Guest23390 [14:06] Sorry about the Greek, but no worries, I'm not asking anyone to understand what it says there :) [14:07] computerssssssssssss === shivani is now known as user_ [14:08] alkisg: which java are you using? [14:09] alkisg: Well, here it takes about 1% of CPU, but doesn't do anything... useful regardless [14:09] Considering it's a Java app, a CPU usage that low is suspicious [14:09] ActionParsnip: openjdk 6, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6192382/ [14:10] alkisg: tried oracle java? [14:10] theadmin: you're supposed to see the problem with the wolf, the sheep and the box of cabbage there [14:10] The gray box means it failed [14:11] ActionParsnip: thanks,let me try... === fb is now known as Guest37425 [14:11] * alkisg was just wondering if the "default" java installation was working for anyone here... [14:11] theadmin: alright running apt-get xubuntu-desktop now... forgot the --no-install-recommends though [14:11] Because it never works for me, since 12.04 - it was working in previous versions [14:11] alkisg: webupd8 have a ppa for it [14:11] alkisg: miakes installing easier [14:12] ty, trying...

[14:12] angs: tried a reboot? [14:13] no but it is not my first time I get such error [14:13] can I increase the opened file limit? [14:13] ang: try lsof and start killing shit [14:13] angs: do your partitions have free space? [14:14] cson, stuff would be a better word [14:14] angs: df -h will show you [14:14] hmm that could be the problem, I have less space [14:14] like 1 GB [14:14] I will try to remove some unnecessary files, thanks ActionParsnip [14:15] make sure you have free inodes too [14:15] how can I check it? [14:15] it's probably df -i [14:15] you'll have to man it [14:16] cson, thanks [14:18] xubuntu-desktop installed, rebooting. [14:19] ActionParsnip: yeah, the oracle java works fine. Too bad that openjdk just hangs... :-/ thanks you! [14:20] 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 ...) [14:22] troulouliou_dev: You can't, you need to use the network install, it provides pae-less images [14:22] troulouliou_dev: the cmov issue is not the same as the pae issue [14:22] You need 10.04 for that [14:23] theadmin: 13.04 has a non-pae kernel in the repositories?! [14:23] alkisg,exact mesage is ..not present on the cpu : movbe [14:23] alkisg: Yeah, it does, but the images are built with PAE [14:23] maybe cmovbe :) screen is not well aligned [14:23] alkisg: The network install provides a non-PAE image [14:23] theadmin: are you sure? can you give me a link to packages.ubuntu.com that shows the non-pae kernel in 13.04? [14:24] Because I was pretty sure that 12.04 was the last one to have non-pae kernels available... [14:24] And that from 12.10 even the name of the kernel doesn't contain pae anymore, because there's nothing else === fission6_ is now known as fission6 [14:25] 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] alkisg: if it works then screw it [14:25] alkisg: Oh, never mind, you are correct [14:25] I think both cases are different than the pae/nonpae issue [14:25] alkisg: I was thinking 12.04 [14:25] theadmin: thanks for checking. [14:25] alkisg, ok checking for the movbe on internet; maybe not related to pae then [14:26] theadmin: thanks for the push. xubuntu has freed up my cores. I can even watch vlc full screen now. [14:26] cson: err... well... good? [14:26] cson: lol [14:26] what a difference [14:27] cson: lighter on resources [14:27] cson: doesnt use junk compiz [14:28] actionparsnip: yeah this is amazing, compiz was burning up cores, and tuning it with ccgm just made it worst. [14:29] 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 [14:30] ActionParsnip: You can't use a different WM with Unity though. Unity's a Compiz plugin [14:30] theadmin: yes bt compiz was the issue, Gnome is still the DE [14:30] (which is a terrible decision. They really gotta make it standalone) [14:30] any idea what this movbe requirement is ? [14:30] theadmin: disable unity, install tint2 and have it run at boot, job done [14:31] ActionParsnip: eheh, nah, I like Unity [14:31] theadmin: i prefer openbox as standalone wm :) [14:35] I have a python script that never finishes, where do I put it to run it on startup? [14:35] sedeki: your .bashrc would work [14:35] unless you want it to run at the system level [14:36] does ubuntu use old kernel versions (linux-image-X.X.XX-XX-generic)? [14:36] sedeki, startup apps? [14:36] I created a live USB stick, with a 4 GB persistence file. Can I assume any unused space after that will never be necessary and I can decrease the partition size to match the data there? [14:37] angs: ? [14:38] I have linux-image-3.5.0-21-generic to linux-image-3.5.0-40-generic. I will remove old versions as they occupy 115 MB space each. are they needed files? [14:38] hi everyone! running into some problems with wine: "could not load python.dll" [14:38] msr,y m a little lost there [14:38] angs: no you can delete theese old kernel packages. and remove the linux-headers files too. but keep at least one kernel :) [14:39] sure:) thanks :) [14:39] do you know why ubuntu does not remove old ones as it gets a newer version === Guest98366 is now known as dlsffef [14:40] angs: If the new one doesn't work for you, you can just use the old one [14:40] angs: If it does work, you should remove old ones [14:41] angs: This will remove all kernels apart from the currently running one: dpkg -l 'linux-*' | sed '/^ii/!d;/'"$(uname -r | sed "s/\(.*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/d;s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* \([^ ]*\).*/\1/;/[0-9]/!d' | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge [14:41] 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] theadmin, thanks [14:42] tty2: Ubuntu uses Unity nowadays, not the GNOME shell or panel [14:42] 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] What does this mean: Oct 4 16:19:33 strit-ubuntu kernel: [31757.129427] phy2 -> rt2x00usb_vendor_request: Error - Vendor Request 0x07 failed for offset 0x7010 with error -71. [14:42] theadmin, are you telling me i cant run gnome on ubuntu? [14:42] tty2: You can, you just need to install gnome-shell or gnome-panel [14:43] 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] theadmin, so assuming it installed gnome-panel or gnome-shell, what would the solution be? [14:44] tty2: Eh. Do you have a panel on the left with the Ubuntu logo on it and "pinned" apps? [14:44] Before you login dosent give you the option to run Gnome classic? [14:45] 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] tty2: Ah, that's GNOME. [14:45] tty2: The Gnome Shell. It's not a touch interface, it's just how GNOME looks by default nowadays [14:45] tty2: Install gnome-panel for the "classic" GNOME look. [14:45] theadmin, wow really? i hate it! [14:46] 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] i am used to gentoo so it is already a big change for me to use ubuntu at all [14:46] tty2: Click: http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/gnome-session-fallback [14:47] tty2, then ubuntu will be a welcome relief for you :) [14:47] theadmin: ah, btw, apturl no longer works since some months now (it worked before), at least in my 12.04, so the link you posted doesn't work, does it work for you/ [14:47] ? [14:47] My wireless adapter disconnects me from the internet sometimes. When it happens I get the following in /var/log/syslog: Oct 4 16:19:33 strit-ubuntu kernel: [31757.129427] phy2 -> rt2x00usb_vendor_request: Error - Vendor Request 0x07 failed for offset 0x7010 with error -71.

I really have no complaints over gentoo. but the last thing i wanna start is a distro war :) [14:48] alkisg: Opens with the Software Centre here [14:48] theadmin: which ubuntu version? [14:48] tty2: If you prefer the command-line, run "sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback" [14:48] alkisg: 13.04. But worked on 12.04 too... [14:48] It did; it stopped working a few months ago [14:49] It might be missing some "firefox-gnome-integration" or something... [14:49] alkisg: Install xul-ext-ubufox [14:49] tty2, it was merely a comment meant to be humorous [14:49] theadmin: could you please pastebin the output of this? dpkg -l '*firefox*'|grep ^ii [14:49] Right, let me see... [14:49] theadmin, apparently that was already installed [14:49] alkisg: I don't use FF, so that ain't gonna do much... [14:49] It's installed [14:49] html decoder ? [14:49] tty2: Oh, okay. Log out, click on the circle thing in the login screen and choose "GNOME Classic". [14:50] theadmin: ah, maybe you've manually set the apt: url handler, then, in your browser's preferences... [14:50] theadmin, im pretty sure if i logout i just windup back at the chromebook os.. but let me try [14:50] tty2: Oh... Huh. === Todd_ is now known as toddm [14:50] alkisg: Nope, it just worked magically [14:50] theadmin: google-chrome? chromium? [14:50] ubuntu 13.04 gnome shell classic [14:50] alkisg: Google Chrome [14:51] don work [14:51] Hi! I have a problem making a script executable [14:51] #!/bin/sh doesn't help [14:51] theadmin: yeah google-chrome is smarter, it's using xdg-open instead of some @#(*&@#$ internal mapping like firefox [14:52] alkisg: Can't you tell Firefox to use xdg-open too? [14:52] fossterer: What permissions does the script have? [14:52] theadmin, yup, logout just puts me back at chromeos (from there i can access the shell for ubuntu specifically though (its a chroot) [14:53] Hello how can i get the freetuxtv on ubuntu 12.04.3 [14:53] theadmin, so if there is a config file somewhere i can edit to tell startgnome to use gnome-panel i can edit it [14:53] fossterer, you need to make it executable by chmod +x /path/to/file [14:53] tty2: Hm, I have no idea what to do with that... [14:53] tty2: Can you just run "gnome-session-fallback"? [14:53] theadmin: per user, yeah, but unfortunately the problem is that we can't use apt:// URLs in how-to's anymore [14:53] instead of startgnome?

[15:02] flare, I would not advise you to use fglrx (unless you're an avid gamer) because it has terrible 2D acceleration. [15:03] if i write it this way what is a virus === Cobalt is now known as Guest99826 [15:03] cat /etc issue didnt run [15:03] Tylertwo: Strit: I tried 777, 755 & with/without sudo too but in vain! [15:03] because didnt exist directory [15:04] cat /etc/issue , flare [15:04] ari-yang:i write like that [15:04] brb gonna gtry something else [15:04] ActionParsnip, it says in the system details that the graphics card is unkown [15:05] u3: a virus is defined as a program that repicates itself to other systems [15:05] wadie: what GPU do you use? [15:05] fossterer, you shouldn't use numbers for it, just use chmod +x and afterwards run it with ./filename [15:05] wadie: lspci | grep -i vga will tell you [15:05] intel family graphics [15:05] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 10) [15:06] wadie: then you could try the xorg edgers update ppa (less fresh, more stable) or you could formulate an xorg.conf file to specify better settings than udev can detect [15:06] fossterer: What do you mean "in vain"? You successfully changed the permissions but it still wouldn't run? === Alagar2 is now known as Guest91088 [15:06] cat/etc/issue not working [15:06] how do I go for the less fresh more stable update ? [15:07] flare , there's aspace after cat [15:07] the directory not exist [15:07] ok [15:07] copy and paste it [15:07] flare, cat /etc/issue [15:07] flare: note thespace in the command [15:08] I have error on update: W: GPG error: http://archive.ubuntu.com raring Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key [15:08] flare: cat /etc/issue is not cat/etc/issue is it... [15:08] my card reader still worked with the 2.6.x kernel, I currently use the 3.2.x kernel. how do I make it work in 3.2? [15:08] ActionParsnip, how do I do it ? [15:08] mipo: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 40976EAF437D05B5 [15:09] Tylertwo: you're right [15:09] wadie: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [15:09] Tylertwo: It opens up with emacs on double-click [15:09] fossterer, did you run it by typing ./filename in terminal? [15:09] Hi. Is there any ways to fix internal microphone noise for thinkpad x230? [15:10] Strit: That works anyway.. I'm looking for making it a "click-executable" [15:10] ActionParsnip, Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [15:10] fossterer, not sure that is possible anymore. I haven't been able to do it yet. :) [15:10] ActionParsnip: I have the last error again [15:11] wadie: are you installing updates or packages? [15:11] updates [15:11] hello? [15:11] just what you gave me [15:11] rsrx, are you using 13.04 ? [15:11] would backports solve my problem? [15:11] wadie: so, software centre isnt open [15:12] NeoKarna: yes [15:12] Strit: ohh! [15:12] Tylertwo: Do u know how to make it click-executable? [15:12] Hello. I need help! My computer crashed and now I don't see the lightdm-login screen anymore. I managed to install gdm but the desktop session that is started doesn't use my preference files (like for firefox or any other app). What can I do? [15:13] rsrx, did you check this http://askubuntu.com/search?q=microphone+noise [15:13] Mrokii: boot to liveCD and fsck your partitions [15:13] fossterer: Nope [15:13] hello? [15:14] ActionParsnip: I'll need to see where/if I have a liveCD at the moment, but thanks. [15:14] ActionParsnip, I have software centre open but getting the same error [15:14] wadie: it needs to be closed [15:14] Strit: Tylertwo: So, I can't make click-executables anymore? [15:14] how do I close it / [15:14] fossterer, not that I know of. [15:15] rsrx, see if that helps [15:15] ActionParsnip, how do I close it ? === jack is now known as Guest4846 [15:16] wadie: its a program, like any other application in any other OS, close the window..... [15:17] ActionParsnip, because I've done that already and still not working [15:17] fossterer: Well, I just made a shell script to try it out and set it at 764. When I double click it from nautilus it asks me if I wnat to execute or open it with a text editor.. [15:18] Tylertwo: really? :_( Why does it hate me then? [15:18] wadie: reboot, then try [15:19] your shebang? [15:19] fossterer: I guess that's close to what you want? Are you sure you're setting the permissions right? Type ls -l to check and paste the output here? [15:20] fossterer: is the file chmodded executable, and in the file properties did you set to run in a terminal? [15:20] Tylertwo: ActionParsnip: [15:20] me@me-Lenovo-G560:~/Desktop$ ls -l firefox [15:20] -rwxrwxrwx 1 me me 46 Oct 4 10:32 firefox [15:21] fossterer: what does the script do? [15:21] fossterer: Try renaming it firefox.sh? Permissions look good [15:21] Tylertwo: file extensions do nothing in Linux [15:22] ActionParsnip: oh ok [15:22] Tylertwo: I startedd it that way of course.. [15:22] Tylertwo: this isnt windows [15:22] fossterer: is this to run a firefox script from a manually installed Firefox? [15:23] firefox was included in the distro.. I'm js making it invoke ProfileManager by this script [15:23] 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 [15:24] 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] fossterer: it was too much to make an alias? [15:24] 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 [15:25] 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] ActionParsnip: Well, that doesn't hurt.. Good idea! [15:26] NeoKarna: anyway, thanks for trying help) [15:26] hey NeoKarna [15:26] fossterer: bit easier [15:26] ActionParsnip: SchrodingersScat: But what if this is not firefox [15:26] rsrx, can you tell me more about your problem ? [15:26] Any general answer? [15:26] how do i make wine run on a different screen? [15:27] fossterer: I make a script, then make a file in /usr/share/applications to run it :) [15:27] SchrodingersScat: ActionParsnip: I'm still looking for answer.. [15:28] hey gays [15:28] for any general application [15:28] hi, somebody to talk? [15:29] how can I install build-essentials without internet connection? I downloaded the package, but it always wants to download "additional stuff" [15:29] 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] 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] 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 [15:30] theadmin: i decided to format the whole box and just install xfce instead :) [15:30] can you please write the answer again? I have some weird screen error [15:30] seems i need to abandon my gnome appreciation [15:30] sry [15:30] hmm maybe i should go all the way back to fluxbox :) [15:30] tty3: why not, fluxbox rocks hard [15:31] ActionParsnip: yea i used to love flux box [15:31] tty3: Xfce is quite a bit similar to GNOME2 [15:31] yea thats why i decided to go with xfce, it seems similar [15:31] 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] tty3: So many more advantages [15:32] yea [15:32] usually i went with gnome because it was super light weight and had the features i wwanted atleast [15:32] but with the move to gnome 3 i need to give up on that view [15:32] tty3: That's Xfce now lol [15:32] packages.ubuntu.com doesnt give me the names it haultts in, there are only the dependencies [15:32] but I'm not sure which deps are installed [15:33] why is this always complicated? [15:33] CalabYauManifold: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [15:33] ?? [15:33] ok wait [15:33] CalabYauManifold: because yu dont have a web connection. With web access you could install easily [15:33] CalabYauManifold: same with ANY OS installing apps from the web [15:34] yes but at least I can download software an install it as normal in other os [15:34] CalabYauManifold: you can in Ubuntu [15:34] ok wait === ceed^6 is now known as ceed^ [15:34] no because of my problem [15:35] isnt there a package which doesnt need to download additional stuff?? [15:35] CalabYauManifold: all the packages are online, there are some on the install CD [15:36] CalabYauManifold: is the system a laptop? [15:36] I only need the make program [15:36] no [15:36] I want to install some driver [15:36] CalabYauManifold: make has deps which need satisfying [15:36] CalabYauManifold: It's called dependencies. It's actually rather helpful. With Windows they are always included with the app, which means you have the same stuff installed over and over again because apps reuse libraries etc, Ubuntu fixes this issue with dependencies, but you need an internet connection, yah [15:37] hm [15:37] I need to install the freaking driver to get access to the internet [15:37] theadmin: :) [15:37] what is this circular login? [15:37] CalabYauManifold: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/build-essential [15:37] <_andyj_> the livecd should have build-essentials right? [15:37] _andyj_: No, I don't think it does [15:37] CalabYauManifold: you can get debs fr those, but you will need deps for those packages, and those packages [15:38] CalabYauManifold: you STILL haven't gioven the output of the command I gave [15:38] <_andyj_> download another livecd then :) [15:38] yeeeeeeeeeeeees I know, but I bet there is a package with EVERY dep of buikd-essentials [15:38] CalabYauManifold: No, there's not. That's not how package management works. [15:38] CalabYauManifold: This may help you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Offline [15:38] hi [15:39] I already downloaded this package, but it wants to download additional stuff from the internet [15:39] playing GW2 on linux with wine is it worth than on windows ? [15:39] @ TJ [15:40] Viproz: It works, but it's a LOT slower then on Windows 7. It is playable though. Use PlayonLinux to install it, as they have everything you need. [15:41] CalabYauManifold: If you need to do that from another PC, that linked wiki page gives some tips on how to get the packages required. [15:41] Armadillos: okay thanks, I should play it on windows then, my config isn't very good [15:41] Viproz: What is your config? [15:43] I don't the list by hand but on windows I war raming a little bit [15:43] CalabYauManifold: you STILL haven't given the output of the command I gave [15:43] GOD no wounder linux isn't a mainstream os, I'm pised [15:43] CalabYauManifold: its the same with Windows [15:43] Viproz: I have an i7 with a Geforce GTX 670, and I was averaging around 20 FPS on Medium settings. [15:43] the pc is at the other end of earth, too lazy [15:43] hum, I think raming is franch, mabe lagging is better [15:43] CalabYauManifold: ever had to copy KB files from one box to another via CD [15:44] yes thats what I did with the dep package [15:44] as I wrote above [15:44] CalabYauManifold: you STILL haven't given the output of the command I gave [15:44] I must go, bye thanks for the info [15:44] hi guys, i installed ubu 13.04 but it was too slow and the screen wasn't ok, maybe my pc isn't ok for ubu 13.04? [15:44] ok wait? What was is ? cat /etc/issue?? [15:44] is = it [15:44] CalabYauManifold: yes, why has it taken so long? [15:44] pc is not near me [15:45] calimero82: try a light session like XFCE [15:45] I have to walk stairs and stuff but ok [15:45] can i install lubu? it's ok for me? [15:45] And btw should I give you the output? Remeber it, or type it on some paper? Hope its not long [15:46] CalabYauManifold: install lxde package and log off, then change session, then log in [15:46] CalabYauManifold: its a line of text, nothing massive [15:47] ok your command was just stupid [15:47] glad the cat program was installed === tor is now known as Guest92502 [15:47] was it really cat /etc/issue??

[16:24] chances are it's probably ok [16:24] I bumped my server through 4 major versions last week and it updated 2000 packages [16:24] !broadcom | PsyMar [16:24] PsyMar: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [16:24] I've used that page. [16:24] Ari-Yang: where to find? [16:25] that was the first place I went, actionparsnip [16:25] I had to do some stuff to unbreak package dependencies, but I didn't ruin anything [16:25] I've tried both brcmsmac and wl -- brcmsmac lets me connect if I'm within about 15 feet of the router [16:25] wl doesn't seem to let me connect, period, although it keeps trying to connect [16:25] PsyMar: are there lots of wireless networks on the same channel near you [16:25] Not that I know of, and I have had no trouble under windows [16:26] although I don't know what channel everyone else has their wireless network on [16:26] trism: very strange!! [16:26] trism: I am using 12.04 but that shouldn't make a difference. [16:26] PsyMar: sudo iwlist scan | egrep 'ssid|chan' [16:27] I've currently got my router set to channel 11, I don't *think* that's the default [16:27] trism: How do I convince apt-get to give me xkbcommon headers ? :( [16:27] eth0 interface doesn't support scanning. [16:27] lo interface doesn't support scanning. [16:27] PsyMar: we dont need the output [16:28] PsyMar: YOU need to read it [16:28] lmat: ahh according to packages.ubuntu.com it has a different name in 12.04: /usr/include/X11/extensions/XKBcommon.h [16:28] OK, but that doesn't help me any. [16:28] PsyMar: it does, are there many wifi networks on the same channel as you are using? [16:28] It doesn't list any wifi networks [16:28] or channels [16:28] it just lists those two interfaces that don't support scanning [16:29] maybe if I unplug the wired connection, but that'll disconnect me [16:29] PsyMar: try: sudo iwlist scan | egrep -i 'ssid|chan' [16:30] PsyMar: wifi can still scan, even with wired connection in [16:30] hm. There's two 10s, two 6s, three 1s. And mine isn't listed. [16:30] (but mine should be 11) [16:30] so none on the same channel I'm using, 2 on an adjacent channel [16:31] oh, there's mine listed, scrolled off the top [16:31] PsyMar: are you using hidden SSID? [16:31] no, I'm not [16:31] broadcast SSID is checked [16:32] ActionParsnip:I found a reference for bumblebee from you on the internet, do you still recommend that? It was the response you gave for the same issue. === tor is now known as Guest96128 [16:35] trism: Excellent work. [16:36] Where do I get the hashes for Ubuntu images? [16:37] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [16:37] HDMI tor here: the quiet splash radeon audio trick did not work either [16:38] Star-Flower: thanks [16:38] hello, how i can limit resources of all applications except one? [16:38] jost, your welcome [16:38] for example using taskset [16:38] it is ok for my application use two cores of my cpu [16:38] i tested this [16:39] you can do it in system monitor [16:39] just select all the processes except the one you want ot have high priority and right click choose low priority [16:39] then right click the one you want ot have high and set that [16:40] it will used always? [16:40] i think it lasts until you restart, not sure how to make it permanent [16:42] ok, this is weird [16:42] I can't connect to my own wireless network, but I can connect to a neighbor's [16:43] maybe the problem is that it's channel 11 and that isn't used much? I'll try changing it [16:43] I still have no HDMI audio. Need help [16:43] why I can't put gadgets in my desktop ? [16:43] like to see the temperature [16:44] PsyMar: Sometimes the rules for entering keys on two devices are incompatible. [16:44] hey [16:44] me again [16:44] ok I have the solution [16:45] can I somewhere download a precompiled file of ath9k_htc?? [16:45] I forgot that I can download thing which are already compiled [16:45] things* [16:46] CalabiYauManifol: Which is basically everything in Ubuntu. [16:46] yes yes lol [16:46] hm [16:47] chro: you can use conky for this happy reading and discovering http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281865 [16:47] But I need this driver [16:48] Ok I downloaded two *.fw files [16:48] what next?? What should I do to make it work^^ [16:49] I need to place it somewhere [16:50] CalabiYauManifol: Put it in /lib/firmware/ [16:50] thats all?? [16:51] ok good , and then modeswitch, i'll try it === harmagent is now known as vector [17:02] How do this on the ubuntu version of apache? httpd -V [17:02] When I do 'ifup wlan0', my wifi card does not get onto the network. [17:02] What might be causing that? [17:02] it just hangs there. [17:02] I need help to get back HDMI audio out. Atm it is not present in the audio output device list in sound manager [17:03] diverdude: apache2 -V ? [17:03] toothe, what's your soundcard chip ? [17:03] tor_,^ [17:04] if i mounted ext4 partition i would specify the option field as "defaults", what if for ntfs partition what to specify for the "option field"??? [17:04] BluesKaj: I do not know, but this is wifi, not sound.... [17:04] faugusztin, mmmm no ot does not seem like it [17:04] toothe, sorry wrong nick [17:04] diverdude: what do you mean ? it prints out Server version: Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) etc [17:04] diverdude: maybe sudo apache -V ? [17:05] faugusztin, httpd -V is supposed to show the initial config file being read [17:05] tor_,, what's your soundcard chip ? [17:06] diverdude: not sure what "httpd" do you mean, because "httpd -V" on my Apache 2 on Windows is showing exactly the same kind of information as "apache2 -V" on my ubuntu server [17:06] kongthap: UUID= /windows ntfs-3g defaults,rw,async,umask=0,user,locale=en_US.utf8,exec,uid=1000,gid=100 0 0 [17:07] Where is UUID of ntfs partition. To find it out, use `sudo blkid` [17:07] diverdude: try which apache2, maybe your paths are fucked. [17:08] Also, make sure to create /windows mount point: `sudo mkdir /windows`. You can rename it too if you want. [17:08] cson: please mind your language [17:08] which httpd, whatever. [17:08] !language | cson [17:08] cson: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [17:08] ok sorry guys [17:08] grnt: what's the different between ntfs-3g and ntfs?? [17:09] BluesKaj: sorry i answer late [17:09] kongthap: ntfs-3g features more complete NTFS support. ntfs is unsafe if you plan to write to the volume, but suitable if you mount read only. [17:10] ok [17:10] tor_, open alsamixer in the terminal , the audio chip will be listed in the upper left [17:10] BluesKaj: [17:11] grnt: the last field should i use 0 or 2 ??? [17:11] Use both zeros for two last fields. [17:11] BluesKaj: IDT 92HD73C1X5 [17:11] Verify that ntfs-3g is installed (it should be) with: dpkg --get-selections | grep ntfs-3g [17:12] Ugh. It appears that I can connect to unsecured networks, but not to my WEP-128 secured network. And I've typed the key over and over again, checked it each time, I *know* I have the right key, I even copied it off the router's webpage === Alagar2 is now known as Guest28922 [17:12] grnt: what about the other 2 ext4 partitions, right now i set the last field to 2, should i change to 0 ??? [17:12] PsyMar: are you sure the WEP key in the router hasn't been changed? [17:13] PsyMar: it doesn't matter if it has, it'll only take a minute or two to crack [17:13] kongthap: do not touch anything in ext(2/4) partitions. They don't need to be modified. [17:13] Yes, I am looking at the WEP key in the router right now (have browser looking at 192.168.2.1) === tty3 is now known as tty2 [17:13] grnt: thanks [17:14] I'd change it to WPA, but then I'd need to know how to connect to that, *and* I'd need to know how to get my mom's windows box to connect to it [17:14] PsyMar: try connection to your network without any passkey [17:14] BluesKaj: HDA Intel IDT 92HD73C1X5 [17:14] hey guys, so im trying to install avant-window-manager according to the following guide: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/11/how-to-install-avant-window-navigator.html however when i get to the apt-get install part it seems unable to recognize the package. Any ideas? [17:14] im on precise if that helps matters at all [17:14] tor_, open a terminal , sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel ,the kernelmodule /driver should load , there will be no output from the command [17:15] paulus68: how? I can see it has security mode set to 128bit WEP [17:15] tor_, then reboot [17:15] and i notice apt-add-repository doesnt actually add it to the sources.list. atleast not the one i know of in /etc/apt [17:16] tty2: they are added to separate files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [17:16] 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] tor_, also you should update and upgrade , so youyr graphics card links to the soundcard thru hdmi [17:16] BluesKaj: ok i will try a reboot now [17:16] ah, you mean temporarily disable the security [17:16] PsyMar: yes [17:17] PsyMar: or eventually go back to the factory settings [17:17] PsyMar: if that doesn't interfear with your moms computer lol [17:17] and how do I make Ubuntu stop asking me for a password? [17:17] Mom's not using her computer at the moment [17:18] PsyMar: you need to disable the security [17:18] I did! [17:18] trism: ahh ok [17:18] it's still showing up as secured in the list of networks [17:18] so that brings me back to the original problem.. why isnt avant-window-manager in there? [17:19] PsyMar: rescan for available networks [17:19] let's try "connect to hidden wireless network" [17:19] oh, how do I do that? [17:20] aha! [17:20] ok, I'm on [17:20] with the security off [17:20] PsyMar: great [17:21] now how do I secure it and make it work [17:21] again, broadcom router, I hear that doesn't play great with Ubuntu [17:21] PsyMar: now you enter just a simple passkey to start with and check if you can connect with that to your network [17:21] by "simple passkey"... [17:22] I've got choices of 64-bit WEP, 128-bit WEP, or WPA/WPA2-Personal [17:22] PsyMar: simple passkey wpa/wpa2 personal for example 123456 to start with [17:23] yeah I've got a simple one (it requires 8 chars though) === tor is now known as Guest35362 [17:23] but then when I try to connect to that, it demands that I enter another password, which it won't let me enter one over 5 characters [17:23] PsyMar: is also good but just avoid special chars like &è!() ect [17:23] hi guys. I have an hybrid hp ati laptop. Now i've installed the proprietary legacy driver, since my onboard gpu is hd4250. 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 [17:24] the legacy 13.1 driver, only 13.10 beta [17:25] PsyMar: and when you try to copy paste your password [17:25] Will AMD ever fix their Linux driver? [17:25] oh, I found the problem [17:25] it was "authentication" setting on the router [17:26] BluesKaj: tor_ here. still no luck. no hdmi sound and the test sound will not open either: http://pbrd.co/1aSM9zO [17:26] YokoBR, how did you install the driver? you didn't use the repository's? [17:26] needed to be set to WPA-PSK instead of WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK [17:26] I think I'm on a secure network now [17:26] thanks for your help [17:26] BluesKaj: strange enough hdmi is mentioend on the right but it is not listed to the left [17:26] OerHeks, because i have this hybrid muxless issue. I need to use the legacy proprietary driver. [17:27] OerHeks, the opensource driver don't let me use the HD6310 gpu. [17:27] PsyMar: your welcome [17:27] this is the installer http://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/ubuntu-amd-catalyst-install [17:29] Believe me, i've tryied many ways to use this drivers, on many distros.. this installer where the only thing working. [17:30] YokoBR, was [17:30] not where [17:31] jack---, sorry, english is not my native language. [17:31] Does anyone know of a good Ubuntu screen recording software? [17:31] YokoBR: tested AMD driver is available from Ubuntu repositories. [17:31] There's no need to used anything from thefanclub whatever it is. [17:31] grnt, legacy proprietary 13.1? [17:32] hello all [17:33] 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] YokoBR: if you need 13.1 specifically then the best way is to build a package using AMD's installer. [17:33] jaredforthewin, kazam [17:33] Good. [17:33] If thefanclub suggests this, then it's fine. [17:33] I need a sound device/HDMI wizard. [17:33] grnt, i've tryied for over an year. [17:33] !ask | Guest35362 [17:33] Guest35362: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

Is contacting the maintainer bad form? [17:34] 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. [17:35] Probably as far back as 10.04. [17:35] 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] grnt, as i said on my first message, i'm on ubuntu 12.04, xserver 1.11, kernel 3.2.5 [17:35] 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] 3.2.0.5 [17:35] just looking for a quick and dirty way to get the latest release on my system and replace the old distribution [17:35] palimpsest ? [17:36] That definitely won't work. 3.2.0.5 is too recent for 13.1 catalyst. [17:36] what's a palimpsest [17:36] smallPACS: do you work with ubuntu only or also with windows [17:36] ikonia: a.k.a. Disk Utility [17:36] i have a strange problem with my ubuntu.. i have connected a minijack connector to my mic input.. [17:36] omg, it's working right now. I'm using it right now. [17:36] i had sound for a while, but all of a sudden nothing.. [17:36] igadget: why would you not use fsck from the system, rather than a 3rd party one [17:36] i've tried everything, but i'm not able to get any input [17:36] the only problem is that i have a mouse lag on the desktop [17:36] i've checked the cable and there's audio there [17:36] YokoBR: that sounds very weird, but whatever. [17:36] paulus68_1: I am currently running a partitioned dual boot system with windows 7 and Ubuntu [17:37] any idea how to debug? [17:37] ikonia: well because Disk Utility has this nice little button called 'Check Filesystem', which I clicked [17:37] Does anyone here have experience with SSH? [17:38] !ask | ubob_ [17:38] ubob_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [17:38] igadget: so you'd rather click a button with no idea of it's status, than type "fsck" [17:38] igadget: you'll need to talk to the people who make that app then, as it's nothing to do with ubuntu [17:38] smallPACS: boot into your windows and use this link http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows [17:38] i'll try to disable acpi on grub [17:38] 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] ikonia: well it's an integral part of ubuntu [17:38] igadget: in what way ? [17:38] ikonia: it's installed by default [17:38] igadget: is it ? [17:38] !find palimpsest [17:38] File palimpsest found in gnome-accessibility-themes, gnome-icon-theme-gartoon-redux [17:39] that shows as a them ? [17:39] not an app [17:39] ikonia: maybe I misspelled it, hang on [17:39] igadget: https://help.gnome.org/users/palimpsest/ is that what you mean ? [17:40] ikonia: that's the one [17:40] igadget: https://help.gnome.org/users/palimpsest/3.0/palimpsest.html thre is the docs for it [17:40] (pretty poor) [17:40] 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] t to keep the steem up. Sorry I am not a polite linux expert like you ;) [17:41] 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] paulus68_1: Will pendrive affect any files I already have on the flash drive (i.e. do I need to partition the usb??) [17:42] smallPACS: all files on the usb drive will be removed [17:43] paulus68_1: Further, once I create ISO, I assume I'm simply booting from USB and following [17:43] paulus68_1:the GUI's instruction to replace my current old distribution, correct? [17:43] anyone know why xfce4 isnt doing transparencies for me, and how i can fix that? [17:43] 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 [17:44] smallPACS: you have the option to remove everything and "format the drive" as it was a newborn baby :) [17:44] paulus68_1: sounds good. Thank you for your brain [17:45] 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] 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 [17:46] tty2, install the prop videodriver [17:46] paulus68_1: Too big?? Are the newer distributions getting that much larger?? [17:46] Anyone here maintain a private APT repository? I've been using reprepro for it - Is this considered the best tool? [17:47] paulus68_1: I thought an advantage to using Ubuntu was that it wasn't very memory intensive [17:47] smallPACS: the current iso for 13.04 is about 785 mb tall on a normal cd it's only possible to get 700 mb === MetaBaron_ is now known as Nexus6 [17:47] paulus68_1: Or is that just in comparison to Windows ;) [17:47] 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* [17:48] How do I delete SSH domain servers? [17:48] 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] hello, is it possible to rename proccesses? [17:48] paulus68_1: Gotcha [17:49] What in the world is "SSH domain server" [17:49] smallPACS: I used this tutorial aswell and it works like a charm [17:50] 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] A domain such as http://ws10.ciwebgroup.com/ [17:50] ubob_: If you want to remove the ssh daemon, uninstall the package openssh-server [17:50] No I don't want to do that [17:51] genii: obviously it's not what is needed [17:51] ubob_: Maybe they mean that these machines have access by keys (not password) , and to remove the keys they have [17:51] ubob_: he probaby asked you to login via SSH and edit domain name records... probably on a DNS server running. [17:52] genii, maybe. That makes sense, but how would I do that? I have over 400 domains I need to remove.. [17:52] ubob_: keys should be stored under ~/.ssh [17:53] ubob_: I think you need more information from your 'client' [17:53] ubob_: You should probably ask them for clarification [17:53] Every man is a damn fool for at least five minutes every day; wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit -Hubbard === Guest15188 is now known as bigtip [17:54] guys, i've found that the mouse lag only happens on touchpad.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [18:06] linuxearth: yes. [18:06] but then how would i use that? [18:06] the usb can be inserted anywhere>? [18:06] and then directly i can use? [18:07] 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] linuxearth, no, you need to boot from it [18:07] grnt: oh i see, but how do i install in it? [18:08] OerHeks: why? [18:08] 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] okk [18:08] got genii but how do i install in usb? the ubuntu? [18:08] can you please give me the link? [18:08] or instrutctions? [18:08] whatever... [18:09] consider myslef a newbie [18:09] 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] 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. [18:10] 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 [18:11] means would give me the idea of ubuntu without changing the present configuration [18:11] Hello [18:11] and side by side i can compare opensuse and ubuntu [18:11] hi [18:11] 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] how r u m new here [18:12] external HDD? but if i have a pen drive of size 64 gb, it won't work as an external HDD? [18:12] Guest30342: this channel is for support only, no chat [18:12] 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] external HDD? but if i have a pen drive of size 64 gb, it won't work as an external HDD? [18:12] genii: you're completely misunderstanding the intention by the way. [18:13] and that USB can be a pen drive of size 64 GB? [18:13] 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] 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] hii [18:14] grnt: oh i see [18:14] genii: oh i see [18:15] 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] while during the process [18:16] linuxearth: use `sudo blkid` command in terminal to find out. All pendrives are usually labeled in an easy to recognize manner. [18:16] If not you would notice by it's size (64G) anyway, during installation. [18:17] anyone successfully install the Heroku toolbelt on 13.04? [18:17] https://toolbelt.heroku.com/ [18:17] I'm having the same issue this guy wrote about: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2178554 [18:18] 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 [18:19] 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 [18:21] i have ubuntu 13.04 and ufw won't start on boot [18:21] any idea why? [18:21] i have done ufw enable [18:22] I am editing my fstab now and im wondering why there are so many spaces between the different sections [18:22] Is one space enough? [18:22] Ownix: yes [18:22] Ownix: tab stops are handy, for making columns clear [18:22] but not required [18:24] daftykins: from here! [18:24] indeed! [18:25] abstrusenick, it should start by default afaik [18:25] BluesKaj: in my case its always inactive after boot :( [18:25] don't know how to trace whats wrong [18:26] have to manually run ufw enable every boot now [18:26] abstrusenick, try it in the terminal , see what the output is. [18:26] abstrusenick, when i enabled ufw in systemsettings , it asked me for my password. [18:26] BluesKaj: I'm sshing into the machine [18:26] what output? [18:27] hello. How do I encrypt my home, AFTER installing Ubuntu, where I choose "no". [18:27] ubuntu is stupid [18:27] if there are any errors or such [18:27] malinus: painfully. [18:27] abstrusenick,^ [18:27] i guess i will try to downgrade to 12.10 [18:28] daftykins, but possible? [18:28] dunno [18:28] malinus: why do you need to encrypt it? [18:28] I have only 70 GB free on my HD on my laptop. [18:29] Is this OK to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7? [18:29] repudiate: yes. [18:29] repudiate, sure [18:29] Would I have any issues? [18:29] grnt, because of the amount of child porn in my home directory [18:29] Will it be comfortable? [18:29] repudiate: no, yes. [18:29] wow.. [18:29] grnt: ? [18:29] How big is Ubuntu? [18:30] grnt, but seriously - I can't see why not. [18:30] repudiate: issues = no, comfortable = yes. [18:30] oh ok, great [18:30] How big is Ubuntu? [18:30] repudiate: About 3gb from a fresh install [18:30] Nice [18:30] Thanks guys. [18:30] How would i install from dvd [18:30] DL and put it on a DVD? === Guest15188 is now known as bigtip [18:31] Where do i dl from reliably/ [18:31] http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/install-desktop-latest [18:31] repudiate: whereabouts are you geographically? === bigtip is now known as Guest74048 [18:32] grnt: Thanks [18:32] Lighttpd doesn't seem to have ssl compiled into it, is there some trick to getting that, or should I compile it from source? [18:32] grnt: Where do I get the DVD?! [18:32] odium: lighttpd is not maintained anymore, use NGINX. It's trivial to compile it from source with SSL. === deepblue is now known as DeepBlue [18:33] oh got it [18:33] repudiate: waste of time, get an ordinary image [18:33] grnt, but I use the h264_mod for streaming movies. [18:34] odium: http://h264.code-shop.com/trac/wiki/Mod-H264-Streaming-Nginx-Version2 [18:34] oh.. cool. [18:34] thanks. [18:36] Ok, decided to get it on a VM [18:36] How do I do this? [18:36] Hi! [18:36] So, lubuntu 12.04 is not LTS. [18:37] What if I were to netinstall ubuntu and get lubuntu-desktop package? [18:37] Wouldn't that be practically same with lubuntu for the most part? [18:37] With lts, no less. [18:37] repudiate: downloadable ubuntu ISO is here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop [18:38] Get it and install/put it anywhere you can/want. [18:38] So amny FloodBots~ [18:38] grnt: Even for a VM install, right? [18:38] 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] Doesn't change anything? [18:38] No. [18:38] No = doesn't change. [18:38] 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? [18:39] Has anyone had any luck getting unity 3d hardware-rendered in virtualbox and ubuntu 13.04? [18:39] So, daftykin, what about getting "some" lxde parts from PPA or any other alternative means? [18:39] If you need it in VM, decide on what virtualization software you need first. VirtualBox or VmWare Player (Windows). [18:39] ElixirVitae: also unsupported! :) [18:39] Well, I need support for the OS itself, not the programs I add into it. [18:40] Like kernel and other shenanigans. [18:40] Has anyone had any luck getting unity 3d hardware-rendered in virtualbox and ubuntu 13.04? [18:40] ElixirVitae: ah, give it a whirl then [18:40] OerHeks: ohyou mean proprietary? it is already installed [18:40] appkins: don't repeat yourself. we're not ignoring you! [18:40] So, it will be same. [18:40] appkins: I don't recall, did for Windows once, IIRC [18:41] And, while I am at it, why no LTS love for lubuntu? [18:41] 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] I've installed the vbox guest additions [18:41] 3d support is enabled [18:41] appkins: keep it on one line please. [18:41] sharpy35: apt pinning, maybe? [18:42] what do you mean with apt pinning? [18:42] i mean i know apt [18:42] anyone mirroring repos? how large is the source compared to without..? I'm mirroring just main and universe. [18:42] but dunno what you with pinning mean [18:42] and that was 50GB [18:42] without sources... [18:42] sharpy35, Firefox and flashplayer are dependent on each other [18:43] 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] hi === g_byers is now known as gbyers[Away] [18:43] Also, I learned about Flash not being supported other then security fixes. [18:43] i know bluesKaj [18:43] hi Aquaword [18:43] Do I really need to get pepper for my chromium? [18:43] I've done everything at the following link with no luck whatsoever. http://blog.guy.ht/2013/01/Ubuntu-12.10-(Unity)-runs-slow-in-VirtualBox/ [18:44] ElixirVitae: nope [18:44] Or, is 12 something is fine for the most flash content? [18:44] maybe its ubuntu related, my google chrome toolbar text are shortened like ja.. for javascript , any idea why? [18:44] onsha then what do you mean [18:44] ElixirVitae: AFAIK all significant Flash development has ceased [18:44] yo yo yo [18:44] anyone has the same? [18:44] My volume keeps changing on its own [18:44] It's very very annoying [18:45] I don't know where to begin sorting this out [18:45] jophish_: start alsamixer in a terminal, stop it [18:45] sharpy35, then what o you mean [18:45] Is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1235401 enough to ask for a package? Anything missing? [18:45] Ubuntu bug 1235401 in Ubuntu "dovecot fts_lucene module is unavailable" [Undecided,New] [18:46] I'm at a loss I guess...:-( [18:46] reisio, It was happening in alsamixer [18:46] and is still happening [18:46] ah everythings alright i fixed it [18:46] thanks :) [18:46] the bars in alsamixer were moving and all === root is now known as Guest22904 [18:47] My system could be getting spurious messages from somewhere [18:47] Is there a way to see all keypresses? [18:47] appkins: maybe find a vbox channel [18:47] grnt: VirtualBox is for Windows, right. [18:47] hi [18:48] grnt: Can I just choose the iso file when installing or? [18:48] jophish_: you have keyboard buttons for volume? [18:48] repudiate: it's cross platform [18:48] reisio, yes [18:48] repudiate: yes you can, in the 'storage' prefs [18:48] what happens if i don't install a gdm software after installing gnome? (ubuntu minimal) [18:48] up down and mute [18:49] will i have a black screen or? [18:49] hayy .... [18:50] shit.... my server wont come back up now after editing fstab [18:50] hid: What package are you installing to get gnome? [18:50] I didnt touch the partition with the root filesystem on it [18:50] Ownix: Do you have physical access to it? [18:50] Ownix: Filesystems are mounted before ssh is started [18:50] not for another half hour [18:51] Ownix: Can you ping it? [18:51] reisio, thre are no messages with xev [18:51] How do I fix this when I get physical access? [18:51] no ping [18:51] cek [18:51] Ownix: You would look at what's on the screen, and take action accordingly [18:51] jophish_: didn't say anything about xev [18:51] reisio: Hi, do you remember the name of the guy that was helping me yesterday to install ubuntu? [18:51] reisio, I tried that just in case [18:52] CrazyZurfer: Paulus68_1 [18:52] Rory: well thats no good if my system wont even come up [18:52] Since 3hours I'm trying to play youtube videos on Firefox/Chrome/.. but no chance. Tried 13.04, 12.04. Radeon and nvidia graphiccard. no chance [18:52] Ownix: How do you know if you aren't in front of it? All you know from where you are now, is that networking is down on it [18:52] Rory: thanks, lol [18:52] CrazyZurfer: nope, but almost anyone in here can [18:52] dreamon: What happens when you try? [18:52] grnt: Can I just choose the iso file when installing or? [18:52] Ownix: what rory said and possibly boot single user/recovery mode/live dist from cd/usb to correct fstab [18:52] god damn it [18:53] also network [18:53] boot [18:53] guess you ownixed yourself (sorry) [18:53] heh [18:53] all I did was add two entries to the fstab and they both have == 2 so they are bottom priority [18:53] repudiate: yes you can, in the 'storage' prefs [18:53] grnt: Can I just choose the iso file when installing or? [18:53] repudiate: Are you asking how to install Ubuntu in a virtualbox in Windows? Yes you assign the iso to the virtual CD drive: ask in #vbox for more information on this [18:54] Rory: Yes [18:54] Ownix: possibly it is running file system checks if a max mount count was met, how long ago did you boot? [18:54] Rory: Thanks [18:54] 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] boot time generally takes like 20 seconds. Its been 4 or 5 minutes n [18:54] dreamon: Let's try Firefox first. Can you please run: "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer" from the terminal? [18:55] 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] Ownix: Also it will check filesystems if the system wasn't shut down cleanly [18:56] if serious errors are encountered it could have halted on that, and again what rory said too :) [18:56] Rory, Ok. It installed some stuff. [18:56] dreamon: OK, now restart Firefox and try again [18:57] Rory, same problem.. nothin changed [18:57] dreamon: Can you please go to the page "about:plugins" in Firefox [18:58] any kdenlive users? I can only have 1 timeline per project, true/false? [18:58] dreamon: Is there an entry for Shockwave Flash (File: libflashplayer.so) ? [18:58] does anyone knw how i can change sound presets or define my own globally(not only for the media player) ? [18:58] vusie: Could you re-phrase that? What do you mean by sound presets? [18:59] Rory, Yes it ist. Status aktiv. Version 11,2,202,310 [18:59] dreamon: Does Flash work on other sites, or is it only Youtube? See here to test: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html [19:00] any kdenlive users? I can only have 1 timeline per project, true/false? [19:00] dreamon, did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras yet ? [19:00] I JUST created sda3. Why is CLI telling me "/dev/sda3: No such file or directory"? http://paste.ubuntu.com/6193517/ [19:01] BluesKaj: ubuntu-restricted-extras depends on flashplugin-installer and I had him install that [19:01] !repeat > brontosaurusrex [19:01] brontosaurusrex, please see my private message [19:01] BluesKaj, not till now [19:01] Rory: equalizer [19:01] abradley: it wanted be created until udev creates it, normally caused by re-probing the disk [19:01] abradley: What are you trying to achieve? How did you "create" /dev/sda3 ? [19:01] abradley: I suspect /dev/sda was in use so can't be re-probed [19:01] fdisk [19:01] dreamon:try this... via synaptic install adobe flash player browser plugin...search for it [19:01] abradley: My apologies, it wasn't as stupid a question as it first looked [19:01] Rory, No I cant see something. On other PC I can see the ball runnig.. but this one ignores the ball [19:01] Rory, it's the other way around but it also installs java etc [19:01] 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. What is the equivalent in Unity that I can use to install GTK/Icon themes? [19:01] well, I'm not above stupid questions [19:02] dreamon: OK. Had you tried to install the Flash plugin any other way, apart from "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" ? [19:03] Rory, No. I Tried to install, but counldnt be found.. I didnt used any kind of PPA at all. [19:05] dreamon: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [19:05] dreamon, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [19:05] Rory, 12.04.3 LTS [19:06] dreamon: I recommend you install the package "ubuntu-restricted-extras" [19:07] Rory, BluesKaj.. I doing it. Last time I tried it with 13.04, without luck. [19:07] I worked on it for 3 hours. [19:08] drea do you mean it wouldn't install or that flash failed after installing the restricted extras ? [19:08] dreamon,^ [19:09] BluesKaj, Installing is not the problem. It still played nothin .. [19:09] hey, does anybody know a reason for that: created a file with a size 1 byte. why after removing the file i have 4 bytes more free space than before removing it. Why is it 4 instead of 1 byte?

[19:17] which version , dreamon ? [19:17] jackarg: You don't ask, you don't get. [19:17] jhutchins, i'm gonna call and try to figure it out [19:17] jackarg: I would imagine that it would require at least a written request, but email or other online contacts might get you the right address.

[19:22] highly unlikely you should bother doing _that_ [19:23] I just created a new partition /dev/sda4 in fdisk, accepting all defaults except the partition number. Why is the partition so small, shouldn't it, by default, use all the avaialbe space? http://paste.ubuntu.com/6193609/ [19:24] abradley: There was a small amount of free space it went into [19:24] abradley: Possibly "in between" two other partitions [19:24] how can I create it so that it uses that free 34.4GB [19:24] ? [19:26] abradley: use cfdisk [19:26] or cgdisk [19:26] I'll try those, I'm unfamiliar [19:26] hi, i downloaded the last ubuntu server version but when i burn the ISO, the CD is not bootable, why? [19:27] abradley: Which one did you create? [19:27] Patrice: any number of reasons, can you not use a usb? [19:27] 4 [19:27] yes, i use my usb for something else, i can't [19:27] resio [19:27] 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. [19:28] sandbox vm [19:28] Does /etc/fstab expect a trailing newline? [19:28] how to make the ISO of ubuntu server bootable, please? [19:28] 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.

Bios is ok to boot on CD [19:29] BluesKaj, It isnt easy to download. It wats a programm to open.. I'm working on it [19:29] Patrice: Not booting? [19:30] No, i burn the ISO of ubuntu server on a CD, but the CD is not bootable [19:30] Patrice: How many files are on the CD? [19:31] dreamon, in FF choose save [19:31] hm, well.. bootable ISO, ya? hmmm. [19:31] Patrice: Are you getting an error message when you try to boot from the CD? [19:31] BluesKaj, I cant. It pops up, which app to start with [19:31] yes, it tells me "no bootable CD has been found" or something like that [19:32] Patrice: How many files are on the CD? [19:32] Patrice: One, or lots? [19:32] 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] all the content of the ISO image. I don't know.. I downloaded the ISO from ubuntu's site [19:32] !md5sum | Patrice [19:32] Patrice: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [19:33] 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] dreamon, choose Save File , it will then download to your /Home/User/Downloads file [19:34] woaw... So complicated??? [19:35] how can i see which apache version is installed ? [19:35] diverdude: apache2 -v [19:35] dpkg -l | grep -i apache ? [19:35] Patrice, just burn the iso file to a dvd or usb [19:36] BluesKaj, there is only-> choose application to start. (search for app) Button - Noting to save. [19:36] I don't understand why i have to do that check MD5... There is no easier way to download and burn linux server? [19:36] Patrice: you don't have to, but you're having problems [19:36] Patrice: Just trying to make sure you have a correct disk image [19:36] Patrice: so what you do is rule out potential causes [19:36] dreamon, which browser / [19:36] ? [19:36] Firefox, chrome, chromium.. ;) [19:36] Patrice: The "easy way" is to follow the official instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [19:37] is it possible to rename proccesses? [19:37] Prolac: Could you re-phrase that? What are you wanting to achieve? [19:37] Patrice: Specifically here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [19:38] dreamon, are you clicking on the downloads button the adobe flash website or ? [19:38] thanks, i'm reading [19:38] BluesKaj, Yes.. the yellow one [19:38] 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] dreamon, did you choose the linux,tar.gz version first ? [19:39] odium: What Ubuntu version are you using? [19:39] BluesKaj, Yes [19:39] Rory, I'd like to prevent pkill cmd from disabling certain process [19:39] Rory, saucy salamander [19:39] !13.10 | odium [19:39] uhh, 13.10 [19:39] 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. [19:40] odium: Join there and I'll try to help you [19:40] 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] havv: Probably not as smoothly as Lubuntu. Have you considered Xubuntu as a "compromise" ? [19:41] !13.04 [19:41] 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] havv: yes it'll be fine, particularly if it has a dedicated gpu [19:41] but probably regardless [19:41] it's integrated :\ [19:42] 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] dreamon, and you don't get a dialog like this http://wstaw.org/m/2013/10/04/snapshot2.png ? [19:42] usable? 2gb is plenty [19:42] Rory, no ideas? [19:42] the volume control is maxed at 10% to 100% which basically makes it an on/off switch. how can I debug this? [19:42] 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 [19:43] mavarazo: what do you see? [19:43] I'm mostly using it for developing in RoR, but I might need to run eclipse every once in a while [19:43] UEFI BIOS [19:43] mavarazo: I doubt you see that... [19:43] BluesKaj, No its different. [19:45] !uefi [19:45] 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] mavarazo: do you mean it dropped you in grub? [19:46] no... it drops me into bios [19:46] Patrice: An incomplete or corrupt image is the most common reason for something not to boot these days. [19:46] I try to start xarchiver .. so it might be possible to extract [19:46] mavarazo: The EFI firmware command-line? [19:46] i think i can open that [19:47] mavarazo: Is it using Secure Boot? [19:47] yeah... but i cant disable it [19:47] dreamon, ok , look for the flashplayer.so file in your file manager , it's probly in downloads [19:48] 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] 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] uhhh... now i get the grub minimal-bash [19:49] Rory: Backslashes File\ Name.ext [19:49] c3f59: Thanks I know, but I want find to do that automatically [19:49] mavarazo: Do you mean the initial RAM-disk's busybox shell? [19:49] Thanks jhutchins. So i have to check MD5 on the ISO AND on the DVD? Or just on ISO is enought? [19:49] Rory: ah, sorry, didn't read the whole discussion [19:50] 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] Patrice: Just the iso is sufficient [19:50] Rory: okay…. let me think [19:50] thanks [19:50] don't know... is labeld als minimal bash-like line editing [19:51] c3f59: I can *do* it, it's just messy. I was wondering if there was a simple way [19:51] 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 [19:52] Rory: Try piping the output through sed. something like sed -e 's/ /\\/g' [19:53] BluesKaj, I found a way [19:54] 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 [19:55] BluesKaj, Ok, I copied file.. and now? [19:56] BluesKaj, Its now in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [19:57] 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] or does FB mean ECC automatically? [19:57] dreamon .in the terminal type wget , then paste the url and enter [19:57] Okay I am now able to access my fstab from my live CD. How do I interpret these errors?? http://imgur.com/NwIGcNp [19:58] BluesKaj, The way, was to choose download for different OS.. so I could download the thing.. [19:58] dreamon, on the whole tar.gz file , just the libflashplayer.so file [19:58] not [19:59] BluesKaj, Yes.. only the libflashplayer.so I copied as root to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [20:00] Rory: Is this what you are are after? http://notfaq.wordpress.com/2006/07/30/unix-filenames-with-spaces-in-find-xargs/ [20:00] BluesKaj, Now reboot? [20:00] dreamon, ok , now will probly need to reboot [20:02] 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" ? [20:03] kriskropd: "d" perhaps [20:03] Stinky-Feet: -print0 I KNEW there was a quick way! [20:03] wget [20:03] Thanks also c3f59 that's exactly what I was doing before [20:03] zykotick9: nope :/ [20:03] 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? [20:04] zykotick9: D brings upt he manager though [20:04] 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] kriskropd: lowcase "d" is download link current link? [20:04] dreamon: No swearing please [20:05] dreamon, if you downloaded a yum or rpm file it won't work on ubuntu [20:05] No swearing?! that's closed source english than! [20:05] 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] It goes against the philosophy [20:06] BluesKaj, No I only downloadet the tar.gz an extracted.. copied.. [20:06] kriskropd: it works here, d -> Save to file [20:06] hi has anybody have a black screen while installing ubuntu from minimal? [20:06] black screen within virtualbox [20:06] kriskropd: perhaps try without your current .elinks folder? perhaps you have changed something? [20:07] dreamon, install ubuntu-restricted-extras [20:07] BluesKaj, But the file isnt in that directory.. I copy once more [20:07] bo just do it, you need some dependencies etc , dreamon [20:08] dreamon: I had the same problem and BluesKaj is right, install the extras packages. [20:08] ok so the checksum MD5 was ok... [20:08] I thougfht he already had [20:08] cson, BluesKaj -> says "its already the newest version" [20:08] i did what they say and i compared : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [20:09] All is the same but the CD still not bootable... [20:09] If I remember correctly, I was even prompted to install the adobe plugin during the extras install. [20:09] Patrice: does it show the files in your file manager? Or the .iso? [20:09] wait, let me check === hassan is now known as Guest43852 [20:09] dreamon, then reinstall it [20:09] hid, You might ask in #vbox [20:09] zykotick9: weird, removing elinks.conf didnt fix it, but removing the whole .elinks folder did work - thanks for th eusggestion [20:10] zykotick9: suggestion* [20:10] Rory: piping through sed -e 's/ /\\ /g' should work [20:10] wilee-nilee: the problem solved itself XD, thank you [20:10] find + print is betta [20:10] kriskropd: glad you got it working [20:11] it shows me the content of the ISO [20:12] ++ [20:12] mtondi: vha khou itani phanda ha vhathu? [20:12] hi [20:12] hi [20:12] what is the spanish channel ? [20:12] -es [20:12] !es | domingo [20:12] domingo: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [20:13] Patrice: this is from the mounted, burnt CD? [20:13] from the burnt one [20:13] thank [20:13] Patrice: does it say the path at the top? [20:13] join #ubuntu-es [20:13] vusie: ndi noob hafha [20:13] Yes : "/media/Ubuntu-Server 12.04.3 LTS i386" [20:13] how can I record all I hear in the speakers, included mic and youtube [20:13] mtondi: rido kickiwa...ari fhumule [20:14] kincho: jack === Alagar2 is now known as Guest32355 [20:14] kincho: actually, it's possible with pulse as well (and a LOT easier then messing with jack) [20:14] zykotick9: reisio is pulse a program? [20:15] kincho: separate [20:15] reisio the path is /media/Ubuntu-Server 12.04.3 LTS i386 [20:15] reisio: is jack not a sound server? like pulse? [20:15] Patrice: okay [20:15] Patrice: check your BIOS boot order [20:15] all is ok [20:16] zykotick9: sure [20:16] zykotick9: so can you help me to do this? [20:16] it's trying to boot on CD but it says "no bootable CD found" [20:16] reisio: what is jack? a program? [20:16] Patrice: sometimes the order isn't enough, you have to disable the other devices [20:16] kincho, pulseaudio is a complete sound system [20:16] kincho: yup [20:16] 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] a complete sound system that relies on alsa :p [20:16] pretty different from jack [20:16] i did, i i also chose the CD device on the Toshiba boot page [20:17] zykotick9: so how do I make it work with pulse? [20:17] Bios and Toshiba boot splash are on CD [20:18] zykotick9, what do you use for audio on web sites? === jtanner is now known as jtanner|food [20:18] 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] BluesKaj: pure alsa? [20:19] zykotick9, I can't get alsa to work on web audio without pulseaudio [20:19] BluesKaj: which IS an issue these days, if you have more then one sound device showing up. [20:20] zykotick9, yes I do , i have the onboard and the pci [20:20] 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. [20:21] Now getting a crash .> /usr/lib/firefox/plugin-container .. [20:21] zykotick9, yes my m-audio shows as card 0 , the onboard hda-intel shows as card 1 [20:22] BluesKaj: and is it m-audio or onboard you want to be using? [20:22] zykotick9: I tried recordMyDesktop but it only recorded what I sang in the mic [20:22] might be a audio problem? [20:22] dreamon, I'm using m-audio as my preferred yes [20:23] kincho: i have no idea about recordmydesktop sorry... [20:23] oops zykotick9^ [20:23] zykotick9,, I'm using m-audio as my preferred yes [20:23] BluesKaj: i'd "think" that "should" work by default... sorry, i don't have any suggestions. [20:23] BluesKaj, In the protocol it showes playback faults. root audio and so on.. sis Si7012 [20:24] SIS7012 [20:24] it works , but not on websites , even with pure alsa , zykotick9 [20:24] BluesKaj: ya, i knew what you meant, i was talking about firefox/web. [20:25] I will try to stop audio in Bios [20:25] it's been like that since 11.10 i think , zykotick9 [20:25] dreamon, no don't do that [20:25] BluesKaj, ? [20:25] BluesKaj: well, we are using different OSes... so i really can't say??? but, i feel your pain - i've been there. [20:26] dreamon, remove flashaplayer-installer [20:26] BluesKaj, OK [20:26] BluesKaj: typo above i think flashAplayer? [20:26] yes it's a typo [20:28] "no bootable CDROM on atapi" etc... [20:28] BluesKaj, you mean "flashplayer-installer"? [20:28] still the same [20:28] dreamon, yes [20:28] i just burnt another one, checking sum etc, and the problem keep the same. The CD is NOT bootable. [20:29] Why is my battery functioning poorly with Ubuntu? [20:29] I can't imagine that the two are related. [20:29] Patrice: what OS is on the box now? [20:29] and it would be a huge coincedence if my battery failed the day i installed ubuntu over windows [20:29] but it says that my battery is not present [20:30] Patrice, where did you get the iso file ? [20:30] BluesKaj, No -> flashplugin-installer [20:30] it sometimes recognizes it but takes days to fully charge and empties in a matter of seconds. [20:30] yeah, that's right dreamon [20:31] i got it on ubuntu website [20:31] BluesKaj, and than? [20:32] when i read the CD from Windows, there is nothing inside. The CD Seems empty, but it's not. Under ubuntu i see all [20:33] my OS here is Xubuntu. On the server i want to install it, there is XP [20:33] Patrice: it's probably empty then [20:33] Patrice: what're you burning with? [20:33] no, if i put it in ubuntu machine, i can see all the CD [20:33] 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] winblows. can't be a real server. :P [20:33] i use XFburn [20:33] 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 [20:34] Patrice: try this from a terminal: cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=/dev/sr0 path/to/install.iso [20:34] ok let's try... but i will have no more CDs.. :) [20:35] Patrice: :) [20:36] fancyfetus, did you search for your laptop model ? and maybe laptop-mode-tools can do some tricks > http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/raring/man8/laptop-mode.conf.8.html [20:36] whats the best linux software for pdf annotation..i need to write something in my pdf [20:36] hi all === James is now known as Guest82985 [20:37] OerHeks, I've done some googling to try to find a solution but have been unsuccessfull. [20:38] Should I be searching for my laptop models laptop-mode.conf? [20:38] fancyfetus, what model? [20:39] I have an HP dv6-6193ca [20:40] is there a way to boot a computer from internet, in the bios, to force an installation from ubuntu's iso url? [20:40] dose anyone know how to enable java on firefox ubuntu [20:40] Patrice, you wish [20:40] (i still burning) [20:41] too many partitions on a new laptop how to partititon hard drive ? [20:41] hey, ubuntu's "startup disk creator" can create non ubuntu disks too? [20:41] someone235: no. [20:42] :) yeah, an installation directly from the bios, downloading the ISO alone and installing it alone... COme on! it's not something impossible... Are they engeniers or not? :) [20:42] someone235: well, kubuntu/lubuntu/xubuntu yes - so anything *buntu is ok. [20:42] BluesKaj, also ubuntu-restricted-extras? [20:43] zykotick9, I want to create OpenSuse, so I guess I'll have to use another program [20:43] someone235: unetbootin is one options, but there is probably something better? best of luck. [20:44] dreamon, reinstall it [20:45] i have a new laptop and there are 7 partititions want dual boot w7 and ubuntu how to partition the hard drive..? [20:45] any1...? [20:48] jammes_884 , use gparted live media [20:48] so the same... 5th CD burnt to throw... It still non bootable... [20:48] This link says the webcam works fine but it's not even detected on my system, what could I do ? (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AsusZenbookPrime#Webcam) [20:49] Patrice: does windows see contents on the cd now? [20:49] let me check [20:49] LMJ: 1) did you try cheese 2) does lsusb show it? [20:50] Patrice: you can boot the ISO using grub2 [20:50] Schrodinger`Cat, what if i open your box now? [20:50] so the CD is empty under windows and full under linux [20:51] hello @ all. i use a nvidia geforce gtx 470 graphics card with the 319.32 driver and two monitors configured with twinview. all things working fine unil apt-get upgrade today... now my monitor-settings are wrong, the orientation from DFP-0 have to be right from DFP-2. In xorg.conf it's correctly configured, but lightdm don't use it so - all changes in xorg.conf will be ignored - i don't know, how i can fix that issue... [20:51] Patrice: what ISO, exactly are you using? [20:51] i don't have grub on the computer where i want to install linux server [20:51] the ISO of ubuntu site [20:52] hello [20:52] this ISO : http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server/thank-you?distro=server&bits=32&release=lts === user___ is now known as dsdsdsdsds [20:53] Patrice: is USB booting possible [20:53] Patrice: push Shift on start [20:53] i know but my only USB key is full and i need it for something else [20:53] i want to have a CD to install my server [20:53] shift? ok let's try === dsdsdsdsds is now known as qqqqqqqq [20:54] 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. [20:55] shift is not doing anything [20:56] yes shift is to show the grub menu on boot [20:56] i am using it but im a little confused about partitions that i need [20:56] but i don't have grub on that machine [20:58] and with the USB key it's better? more simple? [21:00] ok, i see the problem : "Apple Computers and others: Hold down the C key while rebooting. Toshiba, IBM and others: press F12 while booting to get to the boot menu and choose CD-ROM. Asus and others: press TAB key while booting and select CD-ROM from boot menu.

[21:42] 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 [21:43] wylde: Hrm.. But you 'just' (sorry) modified the build settings? I need to create a new package (I guess..), for a module that isn't built right now. Well, I'll just give it a try [21:44] darklajid: it's learning experience to be sure ;) [21:44] it's a* [21:44] I drink to that.. [21:44] My Yak has little hair left by now.
