[00:00] AdityaRaj, what partition do you already have, is the free space allocated or unallocated? [00:00] Svetlana, it is unallocated [00:00] AdityaRaj, perfect. I would expect the installer to grab it and use it then. [00:01] i dont get that option [00:01] Svetlana, earlier i remember there used be an option for auto allocation but i cant see that now [00:02] is it possible to have a bootloader on one drive launch an OS on another drive? [00:02] Ownix: Yes. [00:02] genii: I think I have unintentionally done that... [00:02] AdityaRaj, Can you run sudo fdisk -l and pastebin it? [00:03] How long should it take rsync to move 5-10G? [00:04] wilee-nilee, what do you need to knw? i cant paste as it is a diff system [00:04] It's moving from Ubuntu's partition to a second primary partition. [00:04] I am trying to download a torrent and when I click ont eh torrent file it is asking me to pick an application. How do I get it to default to transmission? This happened to me once randomly before and some one told me but I dont remember [00:04] Ownix: A more detailed explanation might help us [00:05] AdityaRaj, Need the number of partitions and type and whether primary or logical, looke at from linux. [00:06] genii: okay, give me some time I running through another instal [00:06] looked* [00:06] AdityaRaj, the installer does make use of the unallocated space for you; you don't need to allocate it. [00:06] kxtwo, where do you click, in Firefox? [00:07] what? [00:07] nevermind I got it [00:07] Perfect. [00:07] not sure what you were asking anyway lol. Also not sure why the default changed unless a Firefox update changed it. [00:08] skinux, it must have taken 10 minutes for me when I recently moved 13 GB from a platter drive to an ssd. It didn't show a progress bar but I could see the drive light was solid the whole time. === zexcriz is now known as Guest88976 [00:09] I'm wondering if I should have started rsync from livecd, but it seemed fine to do it while using the system. [00:10] Svetlana, it say no root file system is defined ! [00:11] AdityaRaj, If you have 4 partitions already, and it is not gpt, that is the max on primaries. [00:12] How do i set a catalogue location in glade 3.8? [00:12] http://i.imgur.com/kEFXsOQ.png ---> don't see my interface correctly, no launcher bar, not close button on apps, etc [00:13] AdityaRaj, that would be odd: '/' is the main filesystem and the installer should select that automatically. [00:14] Svetlana, any idea? [00:16] aditya_, If you did not see an auto install, I would stop and identify the partition setup, this computer is on the web right? [00:19] wilee-nilee, yet is on the web [00:19] I'm trying to use sync in the software center to from an earlier install on the same computer. Each instance of Ubuntu gives the computer a different name however, the software center doesn't show both "computers". Sync doesn't require 2 computers to be connected at the same time does it? [00:19] aditya_, Then open gparted take a screen shot and imagebin it [00:20] !screenshot | aditya_ [00:20] aditya_: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. [00:20] !imagebin | aditya_ [00:20] aditya_ then post the url to it. [00:23] http://imagebin.org/272967 [00:23] wilee-nilee, check it out [00:24] aditya_: you have not selected where ubuntu should be installed to [00:24] aditya_, Whats in the ntfs? === xubuntu is now known as Guest63120 [00:24] i would like to block certain users from using certain applications but not edit the menus, how can i do this? xchat for example. [00:24] I've been trying to fix grub2 for 2 hours, can someone help me ? I've been using Linux for many years, I followed all the guides [00:24] I installed Windows and now I can't get grub menu thus can't boot Ubuntu [00:25] Guest63120: load a ubuntu live-system and reinstall grub [00:25] wilee-nilee, i have selected the freespace and the other ntfs is a partition for my data [00:25] Guest63120, You tried the bootrepair app? It generates a bootinfo script as well. [00:26] k1l, yes that's what im doing but i have some confusions. First, fdisk -l shows that my Windows NTFS partition is the default boot partition (with a *) - is that normal ? [00:26] aditya_, strange it shows as sda5 though with nothing in front, can you show gparted it is in the menu? [00:26] Guest63120: grub and linux dont mind the boot flag. [00:26] Guest63120: its just for the windows loader. keep it as it is [00:27] I've done a grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdb (where /mnt is my Linux root partition) - it completed fine [00:27] It ran grub-update fine [00:27] but upon reboot I just get the windows booting, no menu nothing [00:27] Guest63120: sdb is the 2nd hdd. which doesnt get asked first after a bootloader [00:27] Guest63120, you booting sdb first from the bios? [00:27] oh wait [00:27] omg I forgot I had an ssd that I boot from -_- [00:28] ok let me check lol, thanks :) [00:28] Does anyone know how to map a network share in Ubuntu? [00:28] grub needs to sit in the MBR from the first hdd that gets booted [00:28] wilee-nilee, i dont have gpated [00:29] wilee-nilee, do you still need that fdisk output? what was the command again? [00:29] aditya_, What is the version of ubuntu you have booted, they all have gparted on board the live cd. [00:29] aditya_, sudo fdisk -l [00:30] thank you guys, gonna reboot now it should work finally. what a dumb thing i forgot the other drive :D [00:30] cya [00:33] Svetlana, the commands you shown are only valid if the binary is already installed in the system. That wasn't my case. [00:34] wilee-nilee, this is 12.04 lts === daze is now known as Guest27488 === kurtkraut is now known as KurtKraut [00:35] aditya_, Something is strange, what did you use to make that area unallocated, had you used linux, the one partition should not show a logical with out a extended, and the number is to high for a single partition [00:35] i deleted an existing partition [00:36] aditya_, with what? [00:36] wilee-nilee, here is the pastebin: http://pastebin.com/XEJDZRS [00:36] wilee-nilee, i used the installer === Guest27488 is now known as daze [00:37] wow i do have gparted. sorry about that [00:37] wilee-nilee, do you still need its screenshot? [00:37] aditya_, Your pastebin was removed. Never the less the numbering is funky, something is up. [00:38] I'm not sure the installer renumbers partitions like gparted does [00:38] automatically with a delete. [00:38] how to get the pixel shader and opengl version? === young is now known as Guest85262 [00:39] hi [00:39] what is command to upgrade from 11 to 12? [00:39] change name [00:39] !eol | chaotic_good [00:39] chaotic_good: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [00:39] Guest85262: /nick newname [00:39] chaotic_good, read the upgrades link [00:39] wilee-nilee, let me try again [00:40] aditya [00:40] wilee-nilee, what site should i use to make the paste? [00:41] aditya_, the fdisk is not really important, you have a problem with that sda5, the installer would balk at this the numbering is wrong. [00:42] aditya_, A sda5 would be inside a extended partition normally, can explain why it is not? [00:43] unless there was a gpt setup which there is no sign of so far [00:43] hello guys this err msg appear to me failed to download repository [00:43] wilee-nilee: why would it balk? [00:43] 大家好 [00:43] reisio, Have you looked at the install picture? [00:44] nope [00:44] young_: hi [00:44] hi [00:44] reisio, http://imagebin.org/272967 [00:44] hi again :) [00:44] wilee-nilee, not sure [00:44] whats the best gui available to manage iptables? [00:44] where are you? [00:44] reisio, hi [00:44] reisio ,where are you? [00:44] pushpop: could try ufw [00:44] young_: right here [00:45] wilee-nilee: the window certainly seems upset, but not about it being sda5 === hitsujiTMO_ is now known as HitsujiTMO [00:45] don't mean to butt in, just piqued my curiosity [00:46] wilee-nilee, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6203057 [00:47] reisio, Ubuntu有在线音乐和视频播软件吗？ [00:47] aditya_, the fdisk shows different than you installer. [00:48] your* [00:48] young_: yes [00:48] young_: #ubuntu-cn [00:49] reisio, thank you! [00:49] wilee-nilee, what do you suggest? [00:51] aditya_, close the installer and open gparted, take a screen shot and imagebin it. It looks like you tried to remove sda1, that is okay, if you have no windows to boot, however sda2 is the extended that sda5 is inside of. [00:51] aditya_, In the installer shot you show no sda2 [00:52] ok eol 11? [00:52] 11 to 12? [00:52] how upgrade? [00:53] chaotic_good, You have to make a new sources.list kit is in that link from the bot. [00:53] it* [00:53] wilee-nilee, there is a pen drive connected that i am using to install ubuntu [00:53] aditya_, and? [00:54] aditya_, I see the pendrive in the fdisk, if you do not understand tell me, it is okay, we want to make no mistakes. [00:55] wilee-nilee, i am not sure.. i just want to install ubuntu [00:56] aditya_, Right and with the way the installer does not jibe with the fdisk means we need to look at the HD with gparted, to confirm you still hace the partions the fdisk shows but the installer does not. [00:57] wilee-nilee, should i share gparted screenshot? [00:57] aditya_, gparted is in the menu, open it hit the prtsc key and imagebin it [00:58] yes [00:58] nothing private there if that's the concern [00:58] How do I make a shortcut to a wine program on the desktop [00:59] wilee-nilee, http://imagebin.org/272969 [00:59] aditya_, Thats good is the installer closed? [01:00] wilee-nilee, no the installer is still running [01:00] raven_: just make a .desktop launcher, and have it run wine path/to/executable [01:00] raven_: with WINEPREFIX, if you have more than one [01:00] aditya_, close the installer, you have no unallocated space, we will do that in gparted, then it should install. [01:00] reisio can I send you a PM [01:00] wilee-nilee, done [01:01] raven_: don't see why not [01:01] aditya_, Coo just right click sda1 only and delete, leave sda2 alone it has to stay. [01:01] Cool* [01:02] aditya_, I assume you have no widows to boot right? [01:02] windows* [01:03] I installed the binary AMD GPU driver from their site, and now when I login I get the background and nothing else. I used to get that error screen about the GPU not working before I installed the driver. I can right click on background and go to settings but cannot get to the terminal [01:03] i enabled ssh [01:03] Where do I look or how do i fix this? [01:04] wilee-nilee, i want to confirm what is on sda1 how can i do that? [01:04] it is not mounted at the moment [01:04] Titanium, generally your best to use what is in the repos. [01:04] and i cant find an option to do that on gparted interface [01:04] Titanium: not sure what you are asking, but ctrl + alt + t will get you a virtual terminal, to go to the actual console it's ctrl + alt + f2, ctrl + alt + f7 to get back [01:05] hi [01:05] i have an iso [01:05] aditya_, right click the sda1 partition "the image" of it and click delete, then hit the green check mark to run it. [01:05] ubuntu desktop [01:05] can i stick it on a usb stick without formatting stick? [01:05] Freel0ader, yep dd it [01:06] will it format stick? [01:06] nope [01:06] wilee-nilee those do not work at all [01:06] Freel0ader: insofar as it will copy an FS to the stick, yes [01:06] Freel0ader: what was on there won't be available any more [01:06] wilee-nilee, i just want to be sure i am not deleting a wrong partition as with installer i deleted a partion of 21 gb [01:06] milamber thank you that helps a lot! [01:06] Titanium, Are you sure is all I can say, and in what circumstances? [01:06] milamber, so should i copy everything off of stick [01:06] then dd it [01:06] then put everything on stick? [01:07] i tried all day yesterday with the ones from repos and the default ones [01:07] the ones i wgetted from amd's site worked perfect the first time, then I tried to install wine and it did this [01:07] wilee-nilee then I re-intalled ubuntu and it still is doing this [01:07] Freel0ader: anything you want off the stick should be copied before you dd the iso [01:07] Titanium: np [01:07] oh? [01:08] oh right [01:08] aditya_, With the installer you tried to delete sda1 and sda2 you can't delete sda2 without removing sda5 first. The window at the bottom of gparted tells you what you are doing once you have chosen. [01:08] aditya_, You want to keep sda2 and sda5 and just remove sda1. [01:10] wilee-nilee, ok done [01:10] aditya_, Yuu will have no swap, unless you resize the sda5 as well, you only can put one primary in that space, and have the partition numbers be in numerical order going up from left to right. [01:10] does ubuntu runs nice with AMD processors on laptops? [01:10] there even data on there? [01:10] ice9: yup [01:11] reisio, better than intel or same? [01:11] ok friends [01:11] aditya_, you can install now, and it should give you the option in the gui, not the something else choice, no swap though if asked. [01:11] is my thumb drive/dev/sdb1 [01:11] ice9: mmm, it's probably close enough that it'd be incredibly hard to measure a difference [01:11] ice9: they're all supported very well [01:11] ice9: in case you didn't know, no OS supports more hardware than GNU/Linux [01:12] reisio, and what is the best supported graphics card? [01:12] Is there anyway CLI way to interrogate your wireless card and ask it for exact specifications, specifically max speed and so on? [01:12] ice9: the best is probably intel graphics, but that also tends to not be the most impressive :) [01:12] ice9: amd/ati and nvidia graphics are both well supported for most devices [01:12] wilee-nilee, ok i am shrinking sda5 to free up space. its taking some time [01:13] Titanium, Did you ever check the additional drivers? [01:13] aditya_: is there data on sda5? [01:13] reisio, Yeah they want to keep it. [01:13] reisio, yes about 20 gb [01:13] 20gb wouldn't take long to copy elsewhere [01:14] thats a windows generated extended, yeah I would re do that hd myself [01:14] reisio, i would do that as last resort [01:14] :) [01:15] probably a lot less compressed, too [01:16] aditya_, You would be best served if you copied it off, and redid the HD, so you would have the right space for ubuntu and a swap, and the ntfs. [01:16] having a copy of something would make it 100% safe as well [01:16] resizing is more like 90% safe [01:17] wilee-nilee, ok i will do that [01:17] aditya_, Cool, good idea, thanks for you help reisio [01:17] your* [01:18] aww man [01:18] my laptop doesnt have option for usb boot [01:18] Freel0ader: you sure? Is it quite old? [01:18] no, not at all [01:18] Hello. I want to extract a series of zip files but each one to its own folder using cli; I can't figure out the arguments to use . . . after "unzip" . . . [01:18] then it probably has [01:18] Freel0ader, You could try plop. [01:19] but there's nothing in the bios about it [01:19] Freel0ader: how about the boot menu? [01:19] inspiron laptop, core i5 [01:19] Freel0ader, without it formatted it may not see it, not sure really. [01:19] gmachine_24: -d [01:19] wilee-nilee, but i am unable to mount sda5 [01:19] for i in *.zip; do unzip "$i" -d "${i%.zip}"; done [01:19] something like that [01:20] im saying i dont see an option [01:20] reisio: as in uzip *zip -d ?? [01:20] oh [01:20] OK I will try this [01:20] aditya_, You ran the delete with the green check in gparted? and close it? [01:21] I am usung 12.04 and btrfs for / [01:21] I got an ugly folder called @ that I want to get rid of. I learned that it is a subvolume [01:21] can I remove that? [01:21] wilee-nilee, i need to mount the parition first to copy the content right [01:21] aditya_, Can you answer the question? [01:22] wilee-nilee, sorry about that yeah i deleted it with green check mark but i dont remember if i closed it or not [01:22] gmachine_24: this is even better: find . -iname '*.zip' -exec sh -c 'unzip {} -d $(basename -s .zip {})' \; [01:22] reisio: I get an error that says "filename not matched" [01:23] aditya_, Close it, then mount sda5 from home in the left panel. [01:23] i am rebooting the system now [01:23] gmachine_24: sounds like you didn't use the command I gave you :) [01:23] reisio: thanks but I get this error message sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected [01:24] I cut and pasted it [01:24] Inspiron 15R Notebook (Inspiron 5520 [01:24] reisio: this is what I ran find . -iname '*.zip' -exec sh -c 'unzip {} -d $(basename -s .zip {})' \; [01:25] http://askubuntu.com/questions/231671/cant-boot-ubuntu-12-10-from-usb-key-on-dell-inspiron-15r-5520-2012-model [01:25] the ( always seems to kick out an error [01:25] gmachine_24: try -exec bash instead of -exec sh [01:26] reisio: still no good [01:26] how do i know if dd worked for the iso?

I can easily do this with the archive extractor but wanted to learn how using cli; at the moment it has taken up too much of my time though. thanks for your trouble. [01:31] good evening (night) [01:31] Freel0ader: pardon? [01:32] i'm using a ubuntu 12 live system, and i'm trying to install a package called live-magic but i'm failing [01:32] . [01:32] (to find it) .... i think its supposed to be inthe universe repositories [01:32] wilee-nilee how do I check additional divers? [01:32] what to do? [01:32] sybariten: did you enable them? [01:32] any ideas? i'm just doing sudo apg-get install live-magic [01:33] i dd'd the iso to usb [01:33] daftykins: hm yeah i believe i did, via the graphical tool.... then i did a sudo apt-get update [01:33] but fdisk says this [01:33] Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System [01:33] /dev/sdb1 * 64 1447935 723936 17 Hidden HPFS/NTFS [01:33] Freel0ader: that does not appear to be a problem to me [01:33] what is the fastest way to transfer a single 20 gb file over network to another ubuntu system? [01:33] Freel0ader: a problem would be if it didn't boot up [01:34] i cant mount it either [01:34] aditya_: scp is the most straightforward way [01:34] daftykins: for instance i can search the pakckage chromium now after i enabled the universe repos, which i cant do directly from boot. So something has improved. [01:34] aditya_: scp path/to/file user@ip.ip.ip.ip:optional/path/optionalFileName [01:34] reisio, i am using scp but it says it will take 2 hours + [01:34] aditya_: well even faster ways aren't likely to make it much more faster, sounds like a big file [01:34] !info live-magic [01:34] Package live-magic does not exist in raring [01:35] scratchthat [01:35] crap [01:35] i can mount it [01:35] daftykins: hm, whats raring ? (except for a funny word in swedish) [01:35] reisio: that's not true, samba would drop the encryption and go disk speed to disk speed, assuming gigabit [01:35] sybariten: ubuntu 13.04 [01:35] reisio, i am using local network but it is still showing me upload speed of 2.5 mb/sec is there a limit on scp? [01:36] daftykins: that's quite an assumption [01:36] daftykins: ok i think i'm on 12....

You just said you had [01:38] Freel0ader: the fact it says it's hidden is suspect. use gparted to unhide the partition and check the boot flag [01:38] got it [01:39] booting now [01:39] daftykins: bien sur [01:40] having more trouble with ubuntu.. [01:40] does ubuntu use pulseaudio?

[01:41] not a programming question, per se, but a question about ubuntu in general; i am attempting to compile a program using g++ and get the following error: ARCADE.C:12:46: fatal error: conio.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated.

[01:44] Svetlana: reisio: wireless [01:44] sybariten: hrmm that all looks fine, i don't understand that i'm afraid. but i'm certainly not super experienced [01:44] daftykins: do you find it yourself if you do an apt-cache search? [01:45] is there an ubuntu that fits on a cd instead of a 750mb file that requires a dvd?

[01:48] ;) [01:48] ^_^ [01:48] live -magic is gone from the debian repos as well [01:49] hmmm [01:50] i have managed to download something via git [01:50] That will not be handled by Ubuntu's update manager. [01:50] well not totally true source code is there no packages [01:50] According to these instructions https://chris-lamb.co.uk/projects/live-magic but i seem to be missing some python components when trying to run it right away, so i'm probably in Dependency Hell (TM) [01:51] If you do it using git the Ubuntu's software manager will not handle the dependencies for you. [01:51] You'll have to read the documentation which the package maintainer already read and processed, and install the dependencies manually, unless the software has a script.

[01:54] i know [01:54] Guest31917: seriously, why #ubuntu? just because its big? [01:54] it is big but totally diferent [01:55] #defocus is big and might actuall be a legit place to ask [01:55] sybariten: when compiling source, it is your friend: apt-file search [01:56] pfifo: they can be kinda wankers sometimes though and to be honest its often less active than this one... like most chans [01:56] milamber: aha ok, wort a try [01:56] thanks [01:57] sybariten: sudo apt-get install apt-file && apt-file update [01:57] sybariten: when compiling from source 'apt-get build-dep' isa good friend too [01:57] sybariten: also, apt-cache search and then piping into grep is also helpful [02:06] milamber: pfifo : ok! [02:07] sybariten, what are you trying to do, submit them a patch? Or just install a latest version?

To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal. [03:08] am I able to use piratebay with ktorrent? [03:08] TripSec, ktorrent will download torrents ... source agnostic. so ... yes [03:09] I can't get the torrent to come up in ktorrent when I select the magnet in piratebay [03:10] TripSec: select it? What exact steps are you taking? [03:11] it's supposed to automatically start ktorrent, which it does. but it never starts the download. it gets stuck on 'examining magnet link'. at least, that's what I have seen. Its not just piratebay, the magnet link I was clicking was from a different source. [03:12] I go to the specific torrent, then try to get the magnet link and the launch application window appears and asks to choose and application but once i select ktorrent nothing happens [03:12] TripSec: Can you manually start ktorrent and copy the magnet link into it? [03:12] TripSec, test: install a different torrent handler - transmission. try that instead [03:13] I did, I also tried qbittorrent and they all do the same [03:13] TripSec, and non PB torrents? [03:13] TripSec: I mean, does it work when you do it that way? [03:13] Manually start then add [03:14] I'll try [03:14] but yes non pb torrent also [03:15] TripSec, so you get no torrents.

[03:19] TripSec, seems to me your torrents capability is blocked somehow. I assume it worked and then it stopped? what changed? [03:21] yea. guess i'll just use the packages from the nginx site [03:22] no idea where my previouis version went [03:23] cfhowlett, this is the first time tryin to dl a torrent on ubuntu. I usually use utorrent with windows on my laptop [03:24] Slade-, if you use packages from the nginx site without a PPA you will have to manually update them I suspect. [03:24] Svetlana: yea i just dont know where my previous version went [03:24] i'm over it for now, just trying to get it back [03:25] cant overwrite the previous version with the one from the site either [03:26] TripSec, try this: purge and reinstall the apps. make sure you kill the .hidden configuration files in your /home [03:34] all: is clamtk the best virus scanner for ubuntu 12.04 LTS? [03:34] Whatever GUI you choose, it is clamav and is good. [03:34] Valdus: best is to use several differnt scanners. to reduce false positives and more possible hits [03:35] Good point.

[03:35] Yes. #ubuntu-server [03:35] Dr_Willis: i didn't know that, but tanks for letting me know haha [03:35] Dr_Willis: do you have any suggestions for other scanner to use? [03:36] Valdus: so i imagine if you re not acnning windows files.. then you dont need av software on linux [03:36] can anyone tell me the most popular distro of linux? is it Unity? kde? [03:36] Valdus: if you are worried about viruses on liniux.. theres not much to worry about [03:36] jamie_: distrowatch.org [03:36] Valdus, note what ubottu told you; it answers the question somewhat. [03:36] jamie_: Unity and KDE are desktop - not disrtos [03:36] what's the most popular desktop then ? [03:37] Svetlana: yeah, makes sense [03:37] So if i don't use something like wine then i don't have anything to worry about? [03:37] jamie_, unity but ... who cares? what do YOU need it to and what are YOUR preferences. configuring your device based on popularity and public opinion is just lazy.

[03:43] which mailx package is recommended? seems to be 3 [03:44] cfhowlett, i got it working. Thanks for your help [03:45] TripSec, how? what was the fix? [03:46] Slade-: it depends on how feature rich you want your MUA to be. heirloom-mailx is more feature-rich. [03:47] bwayne: nah just need basic [03:47] i'll use it tho. its small [03:48] cfhowlett, first purged and reinstalled apps, killed .hidden config in home like you said and went into firefox prefrences, applications, then went to magnet and selected transmission-gtk to use with them [03:48] TripSec, ok then.

On Ubuntu 12.04 I get no sound from Google Chrome at all. Additionally flash videos, such as youtube videos, start playing and then stop playing only a few seconds into the video. Also with the google music web app in chrome the songs do not start playing at all, they stay at 00:00. [03:55] raven_: do you have sound from local files? [03:56] bwayne well I have sound from skype I'm on a call right now [03:56] raven_ , have you tried to see if it worked on firefox? [03:58] how do I killall firefox [03:58] youtube force closed it I wanna try it one once more though [03:58] raven_, with killall firefox [03:59] no that doesn't work [03:59] it's something like killall mozilla firefox === Jan11 is now known as ON1 [04:00] interesting... so I opened youtube in Opera and it played a video, but it was muted in the applet. Soon as I brought the volume up the video stopped playing and froze [04:01] raven_, updated lately? [04:02] cfhowlett updated what? apt? [04:03] raven_, thinking that perhaps you're using some outdated packages. open a terminal and run the following to get all your packages updated: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [04:04] cfhowlett I can try but the install is fresh as of this morning [04:06] raven_, works everytime here. [04:06] raven_, what version? and did you install restricted extras? [04:11] hi! Can I get dpkg -i to behave so that it doesn't install if it is already installed? [04:13] oops forgot i logged in here lol ... got side-tracked studying [04:16] Hmm.m Getting wifi disconnecting for somtning lately. :( [04:20] (i know i am latel) but for raven, I'd run the package manager and get the latest updates for Opera (if thats the browser you like best or use most...w/e) and flash updates [04:20] back to studying :) [04:30] lag is killing me [04:33] which uses less battery power - lan or wifi ? [04:34] pdf editors for ubuntu ? [04:34] id say wired networking would use less power newuser [04:34] Dr_Willis: how much less ? [04:35] newuser: given how wireless power need can vary greatly on the card, distance, a/b/g/n i have no idea [04:35] also depends on how much the network is being used i imagine. ;) === pleanbean_ is now known as pleanbean [04:37] i think im fighting a power issue right now. and wireless ;) [04:37] Dr_Willis: lol ok, and second question - good pdf editors for ubuntu ? [04:37] raspbnerry pi works great wired.. wireless - it has issues.. due to the small power supply i got. ;) Just upgraded the Powar. [04:37] is there a way to use rsync to speed up download over ssh? [04:38] I never edit pdf,. i rarely even read pdfs' so no idea newuser [04:38] anyone else ? [04:38] wiak: you might want to use wget perhaps? but you would need some sort of server serveing the files [04:39] lol [04:40] I'm going crazy here. How can I automatically detect USB drives and mount them from outside an X serssion? I thought I had success before using udevil, but now I see that that requires supplying the drive. What I'm thinking of is something that just mounts everything plugged in, like when you're at the desktop. [04:41] Rakko: theres some auto-mounting services in the repos 'autofs' perhaps?

I know it was something I have installed, and I do have udevil and udisks, but not pmount [04:43] one thing to watch out for - some of those commands may use HAL, or udev, or the other older hardware detection subsustems. so any guides on this with examples. Might be out of date, or not work in the future [04:43] someone was asking this exact question earlier this week. I think he ended up using pmount. [04:44] also with external ntfs or vfat. I THINK there might be some udev(?) rules that may mount them in difrernt ways by default according to some settings. (like let all users access them and so forth) [04:59] Hi everyone.

[05:06] thanks Dr_willis.. it sounds like I'm probably out of luck [05:13] * Rakko returns [05:14] * comodo_dragon hi [05:15] I guess I still don't see how to use any of those command-line tools to automatically mount whatever's plugged in without me having to know the device names. [05:15] As I said, I'm 99% sure it was either udevil or udisks -- most probably udevil. [05:16] made by the devil [05:17] Dr_Willis: so autofs is the very newest? [05:17] Rakko: no idea. [05:17] Dr_Willis: well you were saying that HAL and udev are older. [05:17] the gvfs stuff is a feature of gnome. No idea how long autofs has been around. its most likely best in system cases [05:18] autofs might use hal. might use udev.

[05:43] hi.. my internet connection has many different problems [05:43] hi [05:44] the major effect it has is that it causes chrome on ubuntu to crash and slow down.. i'm unable to diagnose the cause. For example i can download stuff a 90kbs, but a website will take 2 minutes to load. Sometimes after resetting my computer it will load quickly, sometimes not. [05:44] are there any tools i can use to test the speed of dns queries web requests etc?

For example I'd rather die than have that speed, but some would kill for it [05:50] Rory: ipv6 is already disabled [05:50] when I typed "gcc -v" it returns 4.7 version but now I see 4.6 version . how can I fix this? [05:50] Rory: 90kbs is fast enough.. basically throughput is not the problem [05:50] maum: "now I see" what do you mean? [05:51] Rory: it returns 4.6 version [05:51] maum: You just said it returns 4.7? [05:51] maum: What ubuntu version are you using?

In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.7.2-1ubuntu2 (quantal), package size 5 kB, installed size 41 kB [05:52] like a minute [05:52] maum: How did you install it? [05:52] Rory: I downloaded gcc 4.6 version and I typed sudo make install-gcc [05:52] grahamsavage: Does this occur on any connection on your PC? Are you able to try a different connection by, say, taking a laptop somewhere else, or tethering your phone temporarily? [05:53] maum: Then you need to run the version you install directly. It's probably in /usr/local/bin/ whereas the actual supported ubuntu version is in /usr/bin [05:53] I might leave briefly because battery [05:54] Rory: how can I link it [05:54] maum: if you type "which gcc" you will see the path to GCC [05:54] Hello [05:54] 'lo ImQ009 [05:54] maum: First can you at least get the version you want working [05:54] I've found this guide to unbrick my UEFI after installing Ubuntu on it http://www.linlap.com/fujitsu_lifebook_ah532?&#comment_7ae19c0f23cda94b44c75f4284beda30 [05:55] But I'm stuck at this line here "sudo dd if=FreeDOS-1.1-USB-Boot.img of=/dev/sdb" [05:55] if you can unbrick it, it was never bricked [05:55] Rory: it returns /usr/local/bin/gcc === tomreyn_ is now known as tomreyn [05:55] ImQ009: stuck how? [05:55] reisio, damn, THAT is an eternal quote! [05:55] The command doesn't do anything [05:55] It's supposed to flash FreeDOS on a pendrive [05:55] Rory: I want default version 4.7 2 maybe [05:55] cfhowlett: yeah makes your brain like, turn gears and... dude === HisaoNakai_ is now known as HisaoNakai [05:55] ImQ009, what version of ubuntu were you installing [05:55] It says it's finished it (33MB, instantly?) [05:55] 13:04 [05:55] ImQ009: that's normal [05:55] ImQ009: go to next step [05:55] ImQ009: Seems about right [05:55] Well, the pendrive is empty [05:56] ImQ009: according to what [05:56] According to system [05:56] ImQ009: unplug it and plug it back in [05:56] it won't be empty anymore [05:56] It doesn't mount anymore [05:56] not much point in an OS constantly polling devices to see if users manually overwrote them :p [05:57] Rory: ? [05:57] ImQ009: then just go to the next step [05:57] Alright [05:57] maum: Where did you install version 4.7.2 ? [05:57] Just saying, a transfer speed of 413MB/s on a pendrive is kinda suspicious :P [05:57] Rory: Can I use default path /usr/bin instead of /usr/local/bin/gcc [05:58] Rory: 4.7.2 is the default veriosn for 12.10 [05:58] Rory: it's a bit diffciult because it's my desktop [05:58] but yeah i suppose i coudl take it home [05:58] ImQ009: is sdb you usb-device? [05:58] maum: It isn't, according to Ubottu [05:58] Yes, in this case sdc [05:58] !info gcc quantal [05:58] gcc (source: gcc-defaults (1.117ubuntu2)): GNU C compiler. In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.7.2-1ubuntu2 (quantal), package size 5 kB, installed size 41 kB [05:58] sdc1 [05:58] Oh sorry maum I misread [05:58] ImQ009: what makes you think it was 413mb/s? [05:58] That's what dd says [05:58] ImQ009: are you sure you did the right dd command? [05:59] maum: Did you install gcc through the package manager (sudo apt-get install gcc) [05:59] ImQ009: how big is the .img? [05:59] ImQ009: things get cached [05:59] 32.5MB [05:59] Rory: no, from source (4.6.3) [05:59] ImQ009: Can you please put the result of your DD command on http://paste.ubuntu.com [05:59] ImQ009: then you didn't transfer 413mb [05:59] maum: If you want 4.7.2 why did you compile and install 4.6.3? [05:59] this is the best way to sum it up: if you don't have a problem, you don't have a problem [06:00] reisio, I'm just quoting dd's output [06:00] wait for the problem before you fix it [06:00] Rory: for my compiler homework [06:00] ImQ009: and I'm saying it's not suspicious :) [06:00] maum: sudo apt-get install gcc [06:00] Rory: can i use different version? [06:00] maum: what version do you need? [06:01] Rory: the default version for 12.10 [06:01] maum: sudo apt-get install gcc [06:01] Rory: ok [06:01] maum: Assuming you're using 12.10 like you said (use "cat /etc/issue" to check) [06:02] reisio, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6203731/ [06:02] Rory, ^ [06:02] maum: FYI you can install pretty much any 4.x version, look at "apt-cache search gcc-" [06:03] Ok, then [06:03] ImQ009: Does it work though? The proof of the pudding is in the eating [06:03] I will try proceeding to next step then [06:03] hi, i want to ask is this possible to compile libraries like libfftw or other libraries compiled in i386 to different architectures? (like arm) [06:04] Rory: Do I have to re-install gcc-4.7.2? [06:04] Rory, No, it doesn't work [06:04] pero_p: Yes it is, take a look at this answer: http://askubuntu.com/questions/250696/cross-compile-for-arm [06:04] I'm supposed to mount it and copy some files [06:04] But it won't mount [06:04] maum: No, and please stop installing things from outside the package manager if you dont know what you're doing [06:04] pero_p: that particularly lib is probably available precompiled, however [06:04] for arm [06:04] It says that contents are unknown in the disk utility [06:05] Rory: I am in terminal [06:05] thanks [06:05] ImQ009: are you sure you need to dd the image into a partition and not the device? [06:05] When I tried sdc it said that medium hasn't been found [06:05] maum: My understanding of your problem is: you want to install gcc. You have now done so. [06:05] ImQ009: you sure the guide you're following assumes you're using Windows? [06:05] maum: I don't see the problem, to be honest [06:05] reisio, Don't look at that :P [06:05] I'm doing that on my laptop [06:05] Can somebody help me with grub recovery after windows installation. [06:06] how're you trying to mount it? [06:06] !grub | vramana [06:06] vramana: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [06:06] I just put it in [06:06] Rory: gcc -v still returns 4.6 version but I want it returns 4.7 version [06:06] But I can't do anything with it [06:06] The option to mount it isn't there [06:06] maum: did you do sudo apt-get install gcc? [06:06] Rory: yes === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [06:07] maum: What is the output of "/usr/bin/gcc -v" [06:07] hello [06:07] Rory: 4.7.2 [06:07] Ok, [06:07] i am try to delete all files older that 2 days, but is not working like this: find /opt/opengts/logs/*.log -mtime +2 [06:07] I reformatted the pendrive on my windows machine [06:07] only like this: find /opt/opengts/logs/*.log -mtime -2 [06:08] And tried again [06:08] Now it worked [06:08] any ideea way? [06:08] maum: and "which gcc" gives "/usr/local/bin/gcc" ? [06:08] ImQ009: gj [06:08] Can anyone confirm for me that /usr/local/bin/ is NOT in Quantal's default $PATH ? [06:08] Rory: 4.6.3 [06:08] maum: "which gcc" what does it say? [06:09] Alright [06:09] Thanks for assistance [06:09] Rory: /usr/local/bin/gcc [06:09] maum: All I can suggest then is something like "sudo chmod -x /usr/local/bin/gcc" [06:10] I have three OS installed on my computer Ubuntu 13.04, Windows 8 and Elementary 0S 0.2 in this order on my harddrive. When I did grub recovery after windows installation. Ubuntu grub doesn't show Elementary OS?? Can somebody help me?? [06:10] Ok [06:10] vramana: Can you please run the command: "sudo update-grub" and put the result on http://paste.ubuntu.com [06:10] Now, I need to boot from that pendrive [06:10] But Ubuntu has overwritten the boot list [06:11] So, it doesn't show anything besides "ubuntu" there [06:11] ImQ009: make sure your hardware is booting from the usb [06:11] :| [06:11] Rory: what is the command for? gcc -v returns 4.7.2 [06:11] k1l_, How? :P [06:11] I'm in UEFI boot menu right now [06:11] Rory: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6203774/ [06:11] Which is overwritten by Ubuntu [06:11] ImQ009: like setting that in the BIOS or pressing some key that is mentioned in the manual [06:12] k1l_, Read up [06:12] Hi everyone. I'm having an issues with the open source drivers.. whenever I try to load a game like Teeworlds or others, the game opens on both screens, stretched with a crazy wide resolution. any ideas? Unfortunately I can't use proprietary drivers because I am using an ATI HD 3870 (unsupported by FGLRX), and I have an open AskUbuntu thread here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/354674/games-open-on-two-screens-with-open-source-dr [06:12] ivers [06:12] The BIOS boot menu is overwritten by Ubuntu [06:12] So it doesn' [06:12] Rory: anyway, thank you. [06:12] So it doesn't show anything at all besides "ubuntu" [06:12] Rory: Elementary OS 0.2 is using Linux 3.10. in my system. [06:13] I cannot install vmware tools for ubuntu 12.10. [06:13] ImQ009: its about the hardware device to boot [06:14] k1l_, I'm confused [06:14] Because I don't know what to do [06:15] morning to all [06:17] k1l_, It says, I'm supposed to boot from USB by going into the BIOS boot menu [06:17] maum: One sec I'll explain it to you [06:17] So, I'm pressing f12, opening it up [06:17] Right? Now, I'm supposed to select my USB device [06:17] ...which again, isn't shown on the list of bootable devices [06:18] ImQ009: you can't override a bios or uefi boot menu [06:18] but that doesn't mean your device will show up in it :) [06:18] reisio, Well, if it didn't override it I wouldn't have to reflash BIOS :/ [06:18] maum: When you run "gcc" rather than a full filename like "/usr/bin/gcc", Ubuntu looks in a few directories to see if the "gcc" program is there. You can run "echo $PATH" to see what these directories are for yourself [06:18] ImQ009: you're confusing mbr or something with bios [06:18] which could be quite a mistake [06:19] reisio, But what does it have to do with MBR? :/ [06:19] maum: Because you installed 4.6 in /usr/local/bin and Ubuntu was looking there first, it was running that version, even though you had 4.7 installed in /usr/bin [06:19] ImQ009: what is it you're trying to do again? [06:19] I'm trying to reflash the BIOS [06:19] ImQ009: again: are you sure to dd the .img into a partition on that usb-stick and not ont the device directly? why dont you just choose the usb-drive in the startup menue? [06:19] ImQ009: why? [06:19] reisio, Because Ubuntu messess EFI up on my device [06:19] And it's a known problem [06:19] maum: The command I gave you just removed the executable permissions from /usr/local/bin/gcc so it'll just skip to the next one in the list, in this case the version you want. You can revert the change with "sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/gcc" [06:19] that's hard to imagine, but if it's known :p [06:20] reisio, http://www.linlap.com/fujitsu_lifebook_ah532 [06:20] ImQ009: ive installed ubuntu on a win8 uefi laptop the other day without changing anything, worked out of the box [06:20] vramana: Can you please pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" [06:20] reisio, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1082418 [06:20] Ubuntu bug 1082418 in grub2 (Ubuntu) "Ubuntu UEFI install locks out UEFI firmware (~bios) access" [Undecided,Expired] [06:20] Right there =====> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1082418 [06:21] Does the Ubuntu installer allow you to resize NTFS partitions?

[06:23] !lts | rrm not sure [06:23] rrm not sure: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) [06:24] rrm: yes [06:24] rrm: so yes on the server. 3 years on the desktop [06:24] i thought lts was 5 yrs desktop/server with 12.04 [06:25] Rory: rrm no. its 5 years for all now [06:25] Who runs Ubottu? I'm noticing more and more out of date factoids [06:26] Considering I like to be quite smug with my use of ubottu, it's important the facts are correct :P [06:26] Rory: #ubuntu-ops [06:26] Rory: if you find those please tell in #ubuntu-irc [06:26] Ok [06:26] I shorted out CL1 and CL2 pads [06:26] i have an executable call "/user/local/netbeans" how can i create an icon on the desktop for this executable??? [06:26] That fixed the boot menu [06:26] Rory: you can use the request trigger for factoids aswell [06:27] Rory: tryed a few in the past, or sugestions..but they never changed [06:27] kongthap: you shouldn't do [06:27] kongthap: that path makes no sense [06:27] k1l_: you mean only LTS, not the other releases? since i thought that is 9 months from 18 as it was before [06:28] rrm: you asked about LTS support :) that is 5 years for server and desktop [06:28] gordonjcp: it's default part when i install netbeans using root [06:28] no it isn't [06:28] Rory I'll be back in a few moments [06:28] The factoid is NOT incorrect, the exception is for 12.04. 10.04 and 14.04 are exactly as Ubottu describes [06:29] gordonjcp: right now i can go to that directory and type ./netbeans, i can launch the app, but i don't know how to create an icon on the desktop [06:29] k1l_: thank you, that is great, no need to worry for a few years, my hardware will pass out before that [06:29] Rory: many factoid url's are bit outdated.. [06:30] kongthap: that path doesn't look right [06:30] gordonjcp: which part looks right to you? [06:30] kongthap: none of it [06:31] kongthap: are you sure it's not something like /usr/local/bin/netbeans ? [06:31] kongthap: either way, it shouldn't have /local/ in it [06:32] gordonjcp: yeah, you are right, i missed "bin" [06:32] Rory: ok [06:32] Rory: I am back. [06:33] gordonjcp: so how can i create an icon on the desktop??? [06:33] I am currently in running elementary OS live from usb. [06:35] vramana: Try this: "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update" [06:35] kongthap: doesn't it set one up when you install the package? [06:36] vramana: sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && (boot-repair &) [06:36] vramana: Then click the "Recommended repair" button. When repair is finished, note the URL (paste.ubuntu.com/XXXXX) that appeared on a paper, then reboot and check if you recovered access to your OSs. [06:36] gordonjcp: that's what i'm confusing, the install didn't create one for me, i've tried to search in dash too [06:37] kongthap: how did you install it? [06:37] gordonjcp: i used .sh download from oracle [06:37] kongthap: if you built it from source and did "make install" which is what the /usr/local thing suggests, it probably won't work [06:37] ah, no chance [06:37] * Paulus68_1 need a mod in #ubuntu server [06:38] thanks for the help, night [06:38] gordonjcp: the installer installed both jdk and netbeans [06:38] * Paulus68_1 someone is flooding there [06:38] kongthap: why not just use the packaged versions? [06:38] gordonjcp: i don't know much about this so i just downloaded one from oracle like when i did with windows platform [06:39] there is a tutorial on how to get java updated with the oracle tarballs. [06:39] kongthap: yeah, don't do that [06:40] gordonjcp: so in ubunto how you create an icon which link to an executable?? [06:40] kongthap: no idea, I've never done it [06:40] ikonia: you here [06:41] gordonjcp: ok thanks anyway [06:41] Paulus68_1: in the channel that has problems, type "!ops" [06:41] paulus68: #ubuntu-ops is the op channel for the #ubuntu channels [06:41] kongthap: it should just happen automatically when you install the app [06:41] gordonjcp: i hope so, but it didn't [06:42] kongthap: right click somewhere, create launcher [06:42] kongthap: you didn't install it properly [06:42] kongthap: you need to use the proper packages, not some random thing downloaded off a dodgy website [06:43] reisio: i did right click at desktop there wasn't any "create launcher" [06:43] what was the nice thingie for building packages from source [06:43] I used to use apt-get source, but there's a better way [06:43] Rory: Elementary is still missing http://paste.ubuntu.com/6203816/ [06:44] !source | Caelum [06:44] Caelum: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get.

[06:44] Rory: Elementary is present on /dev/sda3.. [06:44] pre-empted :P [06:44] reisio: i use "Main Menu" i can create a launcher, the launcher can launch the app but the icon of the launcher isn't right, any ideas please? [06:45] vramana: that cant be. sda3 is an extended and cant contain data itself [06:45] kongthap: open it with a text editor [06:45] kongthap: there'll be a line (or you can add one) like Icon=path [06:45] reisio: do you know where the icon path of netbeans ide??? [06:46] kongthap: dpkg -L netbeans | egrep -i 'svg|png' [06:46] lotuspsychje: no there was a nicer thingie for building source debs [06:46] Rory: I previously had Ubuntu and Elementary I then used gparted to shrink the Ubuntu partition. and then installed windows on the new partition.

[07:04] recently I moved from 32 bit Ubuntu 12.04 to 64 bit 12.04. since then I got the following error when I try to mount a share specified in fstab: mount error(13): Permission denied [07:05] jony_easyrider: When you say "moved from" do you mean a completely clean install?

[07:08] thank you, Myrtti [07:08] I am having trouble setting up remote logging on Ubuntu Server. https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6863632 [07:08] Rory: first of all, Do I have to download tar file? [07:08] Rory: can it be a failing filesystem? [07:09] both the server and client syslog-ng.conf file's relevant contents are in the gist [07:09] maum: No you can go to the VM toolbar menu and select "Install VMWare tools" it will create a CD drive entry [07:09] the server is not receiving the logs, local logging on the client is working fine [07:10] Rory: the menu returns the message [VMware Tools installation cannot be started manually while Easy Install is in progress] [07:10] someone knows what the 13.04 server setup step needs ip/port/username for? [07:10] is it okay to share home partitions b/w distributions ? ive got ubuntu and arch and am planning to keep a common home partition for both [07:10] electron__: Yes but beware of configuration files [07:11] lotuspsychje: for downloading updates during installation [07:11] we2: can you tell me what to fill in there? [07:11] electron__: You might be better off having a separate *data* partition just holding Music, Videos etc, and then creating symbolic links to their respective locations on both Arch and Ubuntu [07:11] electron__: That's what I do \o/ [07:11] Rory : im not sharing users just the partition [07:11] should be okay ? [07:12] electron__: Configurations files are stored in your home directory [07:12] ahh ... okay [07:12] we2: doesnt the server install, download updates automaticly? [07:12] electron__: So you will probably run into issues. Not unfixable ones, but it'll be easier to do something similar to my setup above [07:13] Rory thanks .. [07:13] i agree [07:13] i have a seperate partition for those sorts of things that each OS can access [07:13] if i upgrade OS oir change Distro ... those files stay where they are [07:16] they could stay where they are regardless [07:16] lotuspsychje: usually the IP address is asked during the network configuration part of the installation, if on your network the IP is assigned automatically i.e., by DHCP then it should be configured automatically [07:17] lotuspsychje: if it is asking for an IP address then maybe you have static (manual) IP Addressing [07:17] lotuspsychje: ip/port/username sounds like proxy-configuration. do you really need one? [07:17] luttz: it seems it cant skip that step? [07:18] I have 2 drives, one with distros, and one big mechanical one with all my actual files on it. I run this on a new distro: for i in $(ls -d /media/data/*/); do ln -s ${i%%/} ~/${i%%/}; done [07:18] Or someting along those lines anyway [07:19] lotuspsychje: sorry i don't know the server-installer. maybe go back one step and try again... === ubuntu is now known as Guest97257 [07:19] llutz: me neither never seen that step before, im helping in query :p [07:20] hi I need help [07:20] abac: describe the problem in one line [07:20] thanks [07:21] !ask [07:21] 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 [07:21] uhhh they left...? [07:21] That happens just so, so often [07:24] Rory: how about keeping home in arch's root and symlinking entire user directorys to home partition in ubuntu [07:26] electron__: That would work but not the entire directory [07:26] electron__: Only the personal files [07:26] why not the entire directory ? [07:26] electron__: Otherwise those pesky config files will be symlinked too [07:26] electron__: for example /home/YourUsername/.config [07:26] hmm but okay [07:26] I'm not wrong [07:27] im just asking .. [07:27] /home/YourUsername/ can be replaced with just ~ [07:27] okay /home/user/.config is symlinked too [07:27] Why do you feel the need to cycle between Arch and Ubuntu, in the first place? [07:27] llutz: seems to be a step according to scsi opendriver: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-set-iscsi-initiator/ [07:28] llutz: but not sure how to do this.. [07:28] Calinou: I know it can but not everyone does and I wanted to be clear [07:28] I am having trouble setting up remote logging on Ubuntu Server. https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6863632. Both the server and client syslog-ng.conf file's relevant contents are in the gist. The server is not receiving the logs, local logging on the client is working fine. Help! [07:28] lotuspsychje: if one uses iscsi one shoul know how to configure it [07:28] dudleyi: That doesn't matter, it's what he wants to do [07:28] dudleyi : im transitioning to arch [07:28] slowly [07:28] Why slowly? [07:28] dudleyi: For example, I use Arch for using, and Ubuntu for checking things for ppl in this channel [07:29] electron__: The best way to do it is like a plaster, just do it all in one go and it hurts less [07:29] Rory, yes, there was a completely reinstall. Only I copy/paste the line in fstab which refers to that network share [07:29] slowly because some things i need to get it work quickly [07:29] jony_easyrider: OK feel free, but I'd still like to see the output from "sudo mount -a" [07:29] Rory, it doesn't output anything [07:30] jony_easyrider: That means it worked [07:30] Rory: no o/p [07:30] oh .. okay [07:30] jony_easyrider: The problem is the directory you're trying to mount it to is not writeable by the user you're logged in as. I know this, because when you tried to mount it as root it worked, but as a normal user you get permission denied [07:30] Rory, it doesn't mount the share [07:31] jony_easyrider: Can you show me your fstab? [07:31] when you hook up your logitech webcam, where can you configure the capture size and what not? I'm using KDE [07:31] tapout: Webcams are configured per-application [07:31] Rory : just need to understand somthing ... if an entire user is symlinked why is it a problem .. the common config files like under home ( /home.config) belong to their respective distro's partitions right ? [07:32] tapout: for kamera? [07:32] electron__: Your config files are in /home/electron/ [07:32] Rory, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6203911/ [07:32] electron__: If you symlikn the entire /home directory or even /home/electron directory you will also be symlinking the config files [07:32] mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=1280:height=720:device=/dev/video0 -fps 15 -fs [07:33] Rory yes [07:33] electron__: YOUR config files, not the system-wide ones. Look in ~/.config to see some examples [07:33] jony_easyrider: Which one isn' working? [07:33] Rory: I want to resize and move my partition But http://imgur.com/y9xauDs seems to locked (??) can you help?? [07:33] vramana: Right-click the Swap, do disable swap [07:33] yes .. and those config files under the username /home/electron_arch (arch user) will be used only by arch right ? [07:34] Thanks [07:34] electron__: Oh if the usernames are different you're good to go [07:34] electron__: I was assuming the username was the same on both distros [07:34] ah .. okay .. thanks .. [07:35] Rory: Why not run Arch, and VM ubuntu, for the sake of speed? [07:35] dudleyi: I have a soft spot for Ubuntu [07:35] * dudleyi shrugs. [07:35] ^ me too [07:36] I do too. [07:36] I poop out of that soft spot, though. [07:36] * dudleyi shrugs. [07:36] I feel it deserves to be a first-class-citizen on my machine, even if I never use it [07:37] I dislike Ubuntu for a myriad of reason. [07:37] I applaud it's marketing, though. [07:38] I was going to correct your grammaer, but technically it makes sense both ways (I applaud [that] it is marketing) [07:38] dudleyi: blasphemy! [07:39] dudleyi: (I kid.) [07:39] dudleyi: really? considering it's run by a millionaire, and most other distros run on donations and volunteers it's not that amazing [07:39] hey guys: can we keep the offtopic out of the support channel? thanks [07:39] Rory, the last three rows [07:39] dudley: sometimes i need to get some package running quick ; like the other day i needed heimdall to flash a phone .. on arch i had to would have to get it from AUR and compile .. [07:39] aeon-ltd: That's neither here, nor there. [07:40] i have the arch iso here (never tried it) but haven't loaded it in vm yet [07:54] sudo apt-get install git, once i dl'd it how do i open it? [07:55] TripSec: git on its own is commandline only [07:55] there are a number of GUI frontends, though [07:59] hi I load a liveUSB using xubuntu but doing a df -h I only see 1.5G [07:59] why I cant get the full 4G? [08:01] this is what I get on my df http://pastebin.mozilla.org/3209894 === xmetal is now known as xmetal_AFK [08:02] Rory, can U help me, please? === k-joseph_ is now known as k-joseph [08:02] anyone? === xmetal_AFK is now known as xmetal [08:10] JZA: 1.5G is just the size of the writable overlay filesystem. /dev/sdd1 is your 4GB-usb [08:16] when I run evince it opens something called "Document Viewer", is that evince? [08:16] Caelum: yes [08:16] I see, thank you [08:17] looks nothing like the evince I remember [08:17] Caelum: perhaps you are remembering the gnome 2 days [08:26] recently I moved from 32 bit Ubuntu 12.04 to 64 bit 12.04. since then I got the following error when I try to mount a share specified in fstab: mount error(13): Permission denied [08:28] jony_easyrider: the 32 to 64 bit thing is irrelevant and will confuse people trying to help you: if you need to ask again at any point I'd leave that information out. [08:28] jony_easyrider: Also I don't know how to fix your issue [08:29] hi is there a way to run chckdsk on a drive I borked due to battery running out very quickly [08:29] jony_easyrider: and the corresponding fstab-entry is what? [08:29] without having access to dos [08:29] llutz, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6203911/ [08:30] shomon try using non-dos ways to check the disk [08:30] shomon: chckdsk is windows, ask in ##windows [08:30] dos... [08:30] it says $MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 0): Input/output error NTFS is either inconsistent or there is a hardware failure [08:30] but it's just a partition of the same drive [08:30] llutz, I don't understand, I copy-pasted those last three line from my old fstab to my new fstab [08:30] llutz, and it won't work [08:30] jony_easyrider: Do you have a /root/ credentials file? [08:30] shomon are you working in ubuntu? [08:31] jony_easyrider: Can you manually mount them? [08:32] jony_easyrider: can you make a "mount- a" and show the errormessages in a pastebin? [08:32] buu, yes, I have them in the /root/.cifscredentials [08:32] k1l_, it doesn't show anything [08:33] jony_easyrider: Are the things now mounted? [08:33] shomon: fsck, if this is a Linux-formatted partition you're checking. [08:33] jony_easyrider: does dmesg say anything? [08:33] jony_easyrider: do the mountpoints in /mnt/ exist? [08:33] jony_easyrider: If you manually run the commands do they work? [08:34] can i get permissions to see my home directory from the liveCD? [08:34] buu, how can I manually mount those? [08:35] comstox: just have to mount it [08:36] jony_easyrider: sudo mount -t cifs //... /mnt/... -o stuff [08:36] Hi folks, I installed cpufreqd and indicator-cpufreq-selector and i want to test if it's working, how can i verify it's actions?

[08:41] hi everybody! I have a surreal problem: after last kernel upidate, when I click on the THIRD button of the mouse (the RIGHt button) the laptop goes to sleep. Any clue? [08:42] comstox: could be X is failing [08:42] comstox: could grep EE /var/log/Xorg*log from live OS [08:42] eeos: no, but I'm guessing that is somewhat annoying =) (sorry) [08:42] it is extremly annoying dings [08:43] dings: do you know where are the keybindings stored? [08:43] eeos: my only suggestion is looking at xmodmap [08:44] dings: thanks [08:44] hey guys when i take a look @ /etc/resolv.conf it says my DNS server is 127.0.0.1 is that normal? does that mean that DNS is working correctly? Ubuntu has its own DNS Server?? [08:46] Psil0Cybin: yes, since a while they use dnsmasq as dns-cache on localhost [08:46] llutz: does this update with new domain names / etc? should i leave it alone if my internet is fine [08:46] speed wise [08:46] /192.168.10.8/Documentation_Server /mnt/docsrv01_Documentation_Server cifs noauto,iocharset=utf8,uid=jony,gid=users,credentials=/root/.cifscredentials,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775 0 0 [08:46] sorry dont know alot about dns. [08:47] buu, pls help me to mount that manually [08:47] Psil0Cybin: if your internet is fine, just ignore it [08:47] cool but new sites and domain names shold work? How does that work does it update? [08:47] jony_easyrider: Can the user "jony" run the command: cat /root/.cifscredentials [08:47] or grab it from a site if it does not recognize it? [08:48] Rory, cat: /root/cifscredentials: Permission denied === llutz_ is now known as llutz [08:52] jony_easyrider: That's why. You need to put your credentials somewhere where the user jony can read it [08:52] jony_easyrider: sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.10.8/Documentation_Server /mnt/docsrv01_Documentation_Server -o noauto -o iocharset=utf8 -o uid=jony -o gid=users -o credentials=/root/.cifscredentials -o file_mode=0775 [08:52] jony_easyrider: Also [08:52] I think there's a typo in there someplace [08:52] jony_easyrider: You didn't run the command I asked you to [08:52] jony_easyrider: Can the user "jony" run the command: cat /root/.cifscredentials [08:55] jony_easyrider: Did it work? [09:05] hi is it possible to create virtual desktop in window with own cursor and run app inside it? [09:06] virtualbox? [09:06] no, just second xsession [09:07] running in window instead of fullscreen [09:07] jxjl, https://help.ubuntu.com/13.10/ubuntu-help/shell-workspaces.html ? or have a second Os user and log in to that ? [09:07] jxjl you can alos try to setup a chroot and run X with it [09:07] also* [09:07] jxjl, tightvncserver can run in own window (it is a server of sorts itself) [09:08] no I want just to start another xorg session in window (for example on kde desktop open new xfce session in window) [09:08] !info xserver-xephyr | jxjl this might help [09:08] jxjl this might help: xserver-xephyr (source: xorg-server): nested X server. In component universe, is optional. Version 2:1.13.3-0ubuntu6 (raring), package size 984 kB, installed size 2357 kB [09:09] jxjl: perhaps you could trick it with xnest in some way. [09:09] jxjl: what will you do one you get connected to the remote desktop? [09:09] thanks, does it have its own cursor? [09:09] Xnest -query hostname [09:09] jxjl: I'd recommend Virtualbox, honestly [09:10] thank you for help, I'll try [09:11] hey guys quick question [09:12] hello, how to install svn 1.8.3 on 13.04? [09:12] im using gpg to encrypt a sentence i want to sent to my friend [09:12] dings: mmmm .... nothing, I do not seem to see anything using xmodmap [09:12] dings: I do not understand what is going on. [09:12] where do i put his public key? in order to use gpg -aes username [09:13] llutz: thank you very much, xephyr does exactly what I needed [09:14] jxjl: nice [09:15] hw do i ubntu [09:17] sorry to bother again! I have a surreal problem an dI cannot find a solution on google or anywhere else: after last kernel update, when I click on the THIRD button of the mouse (the RIGHt button) the laptop goes to sleep. Any clue? [09:17] Lacko create a live cd or usb, boot ubuntu, learn how to use it [09:18] Psil0Cybin: "gpg --import usernames.keyfile" [09:18] It's amazing how serious people are in this chatroom, I love it. [09:18] llutz and how do i export my public keyfile to send to a friend from the Password GUI app in Ubuntu [09:19] when i go to Passwords and Keys the GUI and go to my personal keys [09:19] and right click my key and click export [09:19] it gives it to me as a .asc [09:19] so i dunno if im giving my private key or public :S [09:19] Psil0Cybin: don't know the gui, it _should_ be the public [09:20] Psil0Cybin: what exactly are you trying to do? [09:20] i wanna send encrypted messages with my cuzin for Google talk, so i made a private key for gpg to use gpg -aer username to send an ecrypted message [09:20] so im assuming we need to exchange public keys [09:20] so i can do gpg -aer hisusername [09:20] and then type in the message [09:21] and he would do [09:21] gpg-aer myusername [09:21] Psil0Cybin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:21] Psil0Cybin, use commas NOT enter [09:23] Psil0Cybin: "gpg --armor --output mykey.asc --export you@foo.bar" or use keyserver to export/import keys [09:26] I'm writing a sh script that will be run as root. I want part of the script to be run as user foo, so I added a line: 'su foo' and was expecting the following line to be run as foo. But doing ech `whoami` returns root. [09:26] what am I doing wrong ? [09:27] arussel: su foo -c "commands run by foo here" [09:27] llutz: can't I have it for all following command ? I've got like 20 commands [09:29] arussel: put the 20 commands into bar.sh and use su foo -c bar.sh [09:30] llutz: makes sense, thanks for your help [09:30] or prepend sudo -u foo to each command [09:34] could do sudo -u bla (cmd1 && cmd2...) [09:34] bash allows bracketing :P === ritz is now known as ritz|away [09:35] or wrap it up: su -c 'bash -c "thing; something else; blah blah"' user === Oli`` is now known as Oli [09:37] is there a way of excluding the sleep / hibernate option on a laptop? [09:37] an apt-get upgrade changed permissions of a socket file. Anyone knows how I could get to know which package was responsible? [09:37] Oli, yeah - ; is better than && [09:37] no conditionality :) [09:38] yezariaely1: if the socket if somehow included with a package (shouldn't be, that would be odd IMO) `dpkg -S /path/to/file` would tell you the package that owns the file. [09:39] Oli: no path found matching pattern. [09:39] Otherwise it's something included in a pre/post-inst script. I'd Google for it and you'll probably find the code responsible for doing the chmod. === AbyssOne is now known as a1|away [09:40] Or it could be the application protecting its own socket for you [09:40] Oli: it seems to be a broken script as the owner's name of the file is 4755 (which probably is a chown command instead of a chmod) [09:40] thx [09:41] How do I deal with this when running sudo? /usr/lib/sudo/sudoers.so no such file or directory [09:42] yezariaely1: grep -r 'path/to/socket' /var/lib/dpkg/info/ might give an idea [09:43] munnj: that's a very unusual error [09:43] gordonjcp: haha, ok. [09:43] munnj: can you think of anything that might have caused that to happen? [09:43] munnj: How did you install sudo? [09:43] Nope, I cannot think of anything. This is just a webbserver [09:43] something have snapped that's for sure [09:44] munnj: I assume you can't sudo things so you'd need to reboot into recovery mode (then remount root as writable: `mount -o remount,rw /`) and then I'd play around with reinstalling or dpkg-reconfigure sudo [09:44] yeah Oli. You're right I cannot use sudo. Hmm, wonder how I boot into recovery mode on a virtual server [09:45] It's a webserver and you've lost sudo? I'd be suspicious of a hacked system protecting itself from being wiped. [09:45] Perhaps, it's in russia so I wouldn't be suprised. [09:45] There has been no deface what so ever. [09:45] Yet :D [09:45] munnj: Not easily. Linode will give you virtual physical access but I don't know if other providers to. [09:46] munnj: Defacing is destructuve for everybody involved... If it's been hacked it'll be part of a botnet. [09:46] can you once inside the system reboot into recovery without sudo? [09:46] munnj: no, it's a grub option [09:46] llutz: thx. [09:48] munnj: As I say, this is all provider specific. It seems that many providers seem to have an option for rebooting into a recovery mode of some sort but I wouldn't know what to tell you to look for. [09:49] Hi, apt-cache search bugzilla doesn't return the bugzilla package, this is on a ubuntu ec2 instance.. what source do I need to add for aptitude to recognize the package?

[12:03] Bombo: Yeah it seems to depend on fairly version specific packages (libboost-filesystem1.46.1 for one) which have been updated in newer Ubuntu versions. [12:04] !info libboost-filesystem quantal [12:04] Package libboost-filesystem does not exist in quantal === a1|away is now known as AbyssOne [12:05] Yeah, everything else can be satisfied, it's just the dependencies on libboost packages. I'm not even sure if it's safe to install another version alongside (it'll probably conflict). You could install the 12.10 versions of libbost packages and try making dummy packages to satisfy the deps but again, no idea if that'll work. [12:05] Paddy_NI: np bro [12:06] hi all [12:06] Oli: no idea how i could do that.. [12:08] Well for the first bit by installing the various packages you have available that it needs libboost-program-options libboost-filesystem libboost-date-time libboost-regex libboost-python [12:09] i could write a complaint into their forum ;) [12:09] And then faking supplied dependencies with equivs: http://askubuntu.com/questions/29918/how-to-trick-apt-dependencies/29921#29921 === AbyssOne is now known as a1|away [12:09] Oli: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [12:09] Bombo: That might work too [12:10] ActionPa1snip: You really mean me?

[12:49] xkernel: only supports Precise (the PPA) [12:49] ActionPa1snip, i will check [12:49] xkernel: you could contact Jonathan to see if he'll support Raring [12:50] ActionPa1snip, Ubuntu 13.10 is coming soon so no need to support the current one [12:53] ActionPa1snip, are you developer? [12:53] when starting software-center it will die/crash within seconds erroring to https://gist.github.com/Swaagie/6867420 tried all commands/stuff to battle broken packages etc and reinstall as well [12:53] hey everybody. Please, help me, how to connect to mssql server from ubuntu. I need simple request sending tools... I've setup ODBC to connect via libreoffice base, but, when i selecting some table, libreoffice is crashes [12:53] swaagie: start the softwarecenter from a terminal and copy the errors into a pastebinit [12:54] errr [12:54] i just gisted those errors [12:54] swaagie: ah sry. read that as an upcoming error :X [12:54] k1l_: :) np was about to copy to pastebin as well :) === user_ is now known as Eroc === Eroc is now known as Sammil [12:56] I'm working with gnome3 btw and gnome tweak tool also crashes @ TypeError: argument instance: Expected GObject.Object, but got PyCObject, the stack trace leading to it is different however [12:56] swaagie: See bug #1050063 [12:56] bug 1050063 in gnome-games (Ubuntu Precise) "gnome-sudoku ERROR:root:Could not find any typelib for LaunchpadIntegration" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1050063 [12:56] http://askubuntu.com/questions/291673/problems-with-ubuntu-software-system [12:57] Hello, does anyone know if theres any issues uninstalling older version of eclipse(3.8) and installing the newer version from their site? While having installed eclip-cdt and other tools?? [12:57] First of all hello to all, secondly I am having an issue with Ubuntu 13.04, it installs correctly but after one or two reboots the GUI is refusing to start up. Trying to manually startx gives the 'no screens found' error and reconfiguring xserver-xorg doesn't seem to do anything at all. [12:58] krux: yeah already found/read that one, that didn't resolve aything [12:58] only thing I can think of is the accidental download + opening the 32bit dropbox pkg [12:59] that died pretty hard on me yesterday, as im on 64bit xD [12:59] but that might not even be related, checking the reference to gnome-sudoku atm [13:02] Sammil: what GPU do you use? [13:02] ActionPa1snip: it's an amd 7970m === Monotoko2 is now known as Monotoko [13:03] Sammil: did you install the fglrx driver? [13:03] ActionPa1snip: I think I did, please let me check for one moment. [13:03] Sammil: dpkg -l | grep fgl [13:04] greetings earth_creatures [13:06] ActionPa1snip: No I haven't installed them yet. I shall install them right away. The strange thing I just notice though is if i reboot it then it works fine. Only when i do a cold boot it seems to occur [13:06] Sammil: do you also have an Nvidia or other graphics chip in the mix, or do you only use the ATI GPU in your CPU [13:07] I have an intel GPU as well in my CPU [13:08] Sammil: so if you run: sudo lshw -C display you have an Intel GPU and an ATI one? [13:09] hi there, I want to write a [.msg] file with java, How can I do that? [13:09] ActionPa1snip: Yes, my 7970M and 3rd gen intel GPU [13:10] hello [13:10] Sammil: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics [13:10] Sammil: disable one of the GPUs if you can [13:10] help: can someone teach me creating a startup script? [13:10] swaagie: I noticed you started software-center using "sudo". That isn't required. Have you tried starting it as a regular user? Does it hit the same issue? [13:10] i tried google, admittedly without success. [13:11] hi there, I want to write a [.msg] file with java, How can I do that? [13:11] swaagie: use gksudo for GUI apps, not sudo [13:11] ddwolf: try asking in #java [13:11] TJ-: yeah same error, equal stack [13:11] ActionPa1snip thank u [13:11] luv_buntu: hi. you're wanting to write a startup script. what are you trying to accomplish? [13:11] help: can someone teach me creating a startup script? [13:11] .loin #java [13:12] ActionPa1snip: thanks for that tip [13:12] ddwolf: /join #java [13:12] hey guys, i hope someone can help me. I have a GIGABYTE T1028 netbook where I have swaped the hdd and installed lubuntu13.04 on it. Everything works just fine except that my #/' key and my lesser/greater key give the same keycode in xev [13:12] hi bwayne, [13:12] ActionPa1snip: I shall look at the pages. I just installed the driver and will see if with a cold boot up he still has the issue [13:12] Hey. Please, somebody suggest me an easy-to-use sqlquery sender via odbc [13:12] ActionPa1snip: Gotcha~~ [13:12] i need something to run on startup of my xubuntu. [13:12] healhter: is the OS fully updated? [13:12] ActionPa1snip: does gobble up the error though ;) [13:13] swaagie: What does this report? "apt-cache policy launchpad-integration" [13:13] bwayne, 1st of all, how to create a script? [13:13] luv_buntu: if you make a .desktop file and put it in ~/.config/autostart you can run what you want :) [13:13] yes i downloaded the image yesterday and used the softwareupdater [13:13] it reports that everything is up to date [13:13] TJ-: N: Unable to locate package launchpad-integration [13:13] luv_buntu: you can even have it run a script and you can edit the script if you want to change it [13:13] luv_buntu: you may not need to if that is your goal. ActionPa1snip has given you a way to autostart a program upon your login. Is this what you're trying to accomplish? [13:14] ActionPa1snip: I cant join java with "you must be invited" === ical is now known as Guest61421 [13:14] ddwolf: you will need to be identified [13:14] ActionPa1snip, how can I see the owner? [13:14] jony_easyrider: owner of what? [13:15] luv_buntu: it is poor irc netiquette to being a private chat unrequested. we can please resolve your issue in this channel. :) [13:15] cat: /root/.cifscredentials: Permission denied [13:15] ActionPa1snip, cat: /root/.cifscredentials: Permission denied [13:15] I searched google for more than a day now but all I got up to now is a bunch of ways to change the mapping of the keycode to the sign [13:15] swaagie: Which ubuntu release is it? [13:15] but the two keys report the same keycode already [13:16] TJ-: 13.04 [13:16] afraid that the dpkg state is seriousy f-ed up [13:16] is there a way to downgrade it? [13:17] luv_buntu: to script a script, first you must know a shell scripting language. it is then written as a plain text file and marked executable. [13:17] i would be perfectly happy with an year old ubuntu as long as i can use my keyboard^^ [13:17] swaagie: OK, that makes sense then. It doesn't exist in 13.04. Was that system release-upgraded from 12.10 ? [13:17] ActionPa1snip: I will have a look later on at the hybrid page you sended me. Atm I can 'correct' the issue by rebooting after a cold start up. Thanks for the help === lo is now known as Guest99695 [13:18] TJ-: no fresh install, but had a major fuckup going from gnome3.8 to 3.10 that really didn't work out well, did a lot of reverting but somehow the state is not quite ok [13:18] even though all default actions to fix the state show up with no listed problem [13:18] s* [13:19] does anyone has an idea how I could get my keyboard working properly? [13:21] healhter, same keycode? interesting [13:21] healhter, what keycode is that? [13:22] !details | healhter [13:22] healhter: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [13:22] ActionPa1snip: seems false alarm,after logging no icons are visible only the background. [13:22] TJ-: like this one, gir1.2-epiphany-3.6 : Depends: epiphany-browser (= 3.6.1-2ubuntu1), could only get this fixed after manually purging and reinstalling the epiphany browser, that unmet dep doens't show up until I do a direct purge/remove of gir1.2-epiphany-3.6 [13:22] healhter, next, can you run 'xkbcomp :0 - | grep 51' (assuming the keycode is 51) [13:22] swaagie: 13.04 has gnome-core 3.4 ... did you install 3.8/3.10 from an unofficial repository, or via self-built packages? [13:23] its keycode 51 [13:23] Hi, I have 12.04 and installed a 3.2 kernel because parallels extensions don;t build on newere ones. How do I get grub to default to the older kernel? [13:23] healhter, this will show you how the X server is mapping hardware keys to keycodes [13:23] cool, I guessed right :) [13:24] = 51; [13:24] = 151; [13:24] = 251; [13:24] key { [ XF86WakeUp ] }; [13:24] width= 351; [13:24] healhter: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:24] ciau [13:24] TJ-: 3.4? I used ppa:ricotz/testing to get 3.10, installed 3.8 from the default repo's [13:25] did it work? [13:25] did you got my reply? [13:25] healhter, maybe? dunno? you got temporarily muted for flooding, please use a pastebin (e.g. paste.ubuntu.com) next time [13:26] actually, just paste the output again, into the pastebin, so we can be sure we got the entire [13:26] that ricotz ppa in combination with ppa:gnome3-team/staging btw [13:26] wait, make it |grep -w 51 [13:26] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6204910/ [13:26] like this? [13:26] so irrelevant lines like '151' won't clutter it [13:26] ah, ok, the output was complete [13:26] and only one hardware key is mapped to keycode 51 [13:26] how do i use paste.ubuntu.com? [13:26] and yet you say xev shows two keys emitting the same? [13:26] yeah [13:27] healhter, you did fine with the pastebin [13:27] * mgedmin scratches head [13:27] yeah thats how i feel [13:27] TJ-: dunno if normal, but if I try to install gnome-core it will actually present 28 new packages to install [13:27] n/m finally worked it out [13:27] at least im not alone^^ i guess [13:27] swaagie: http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/gnome ... shows v3.4. Some gnome apps have the v3.8 marker though. [13:28] mgedmin is there anyway to get a log of the events _before_ there are keycodes? [13:28] healhter, can any other OSes distinguish the two keys? e.g. windows, or an older Ubuntu version? [13:28] healhter: you will probably want to file a bug report. If that turns out to be the case, use these instructions --> 1) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKeyboardDetection 2) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting ; #2 may turn out to be useful for getting a working setup. [13:28] i have tried is with Mint15 and Lubuntu 12.04 [13:29] healhter, yes; you can switch to a text console (ctrl+al+f1), log in, then use showkey -s to see the raw scan codes (wait 10 seconds without hitting any keys to make showkey quit) [13:29] both have the same problems [13:29] if the _scan_ kodes are different, then it's kernel's fault for mapping them both to the same key code [13:29] and you can probably override the mapping table using setkeycodes [13:29] if the scan codes are the same, then it's hardwares fault [13:30] (maybe you can find an option in the BIOS setup to convince the hardware to act differently?) [13:30] oh, showkey needs root [13:30] cat: /root/.cifscredentials: Permission denied - PLEASE HELP :( [13:30] so sudo showkey -s [13:31] jony_easyrider: what are you trying to do? [13:31] TJ-: apt-cache showpkg does list core as 1:3.4+7ubuntu4 (/var/lib/apt/lists/nl.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_raring_universe_binary-amd64_Packages) [13:31] okay thats interesting: [13:31] Hello? [13:31] jony_easyrider: if I understand your issue, you apparently need to escalate your priviledges using sudo. [13:31] i'll try to install those packages, that shouldn't hurt [13:31] recently I moved from 32 bit Ubuntu 12.04 to 64 bit 12.04. since then I got the following error when I try to mount a share specified in fstab: mount error(13): Permission denied [13:31] it started like this [13:32] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6204926/ [13:32] then I realized that: cat: /root/.cifscredentials: Permission denied [13:32] the install also removes some weird python applet [13:32] mgedmin: no it didnt [13:32] however i get two codes for those keys [13:32] jony_easyrider: And "sudo cat /root/.cifscredentials"? [13:32] not one like everything else [13:32] alas still broken [13:32] WB , cfhowlett [13:33] healhter, I think that 0x9c might be the release of Enter [13:33] healhter, usually when you release a key you get the scan code with 0x80 bit set [13:33] and I think 0x1c might be Enter [13:33] that would mean the two keys are actually the same: 0x2b 0xab [13:33] Hello, i was wondering if anybody could help me connect my xbox to xbox live using my pc? [13:34] yeah, 0xab == 0x2b | 0x80, so it's just press and release of key 0x2b [13:34] blame the hardware [13:34] (or firmware) [13:34] okay so my keys produce the same signal? [13:34] solution is either in BIOS or where? [13:35] hello [13:35] healhter, right; the hardware doesn't distinguish the key [13:36] well its a start^^ although i dont look forward to try to get another bios on it via linux^^ [13:36] thanks anyways [13:36] maybe the firmware can reprogram the hardware to make it distinguish the keys, or maybe it's totally hardcoded with no recourse [13:36] can you try Windows? can it distinguish these keys? if not, I'd say all hope is lost [13:36] if yes, then it's going to be an interesting exercise in debugging/reverse engineering [13:37] way above my competence level [13:37] well mine too, but i will try to use windows first [13:45] so meh I just resorted to reinstalling every package [13:45] hopefully that will fix some of the hidden broken deps [13:47] TJ-: thx for your help will let you know if ^ resolves it [13:47] mgedmin: If "healhter" returns, point to the device's manual. In that, in the BIOS section, it shows it is possible to select the keyboard language. That infers to me that key-codes could change depending on selection. [13:47] swaagie: Good luck :) [13:48] Hey guys is there a way to safely remove older version of eclipse and install a newer version? [13:49] Ponch0, sudo apt-get purge eclipse and sudo apt-get install eclipse. OR you can compile the latest ... [13:49] Hello, is there any alternative for thunderbird that supports TNEF attachements? [13:49] that's what i'd like to do but i've been reading nightmare stories [13:50] Hi. Has anyone had issues system freezes while playing .flv in fullscreen? Had that last night on saucy and prior to upgrading. Might this be due to bad flash support for Firefox? [13:50] Beast: Please use #ubuntu+1 for Saucy support, thanks :) [13:51] cfhowlett: so 'sudo apt-get purge eclipse' should be enough to compile the latest? [13:51] Ponch0, no that will only remove the current version. [13:52] Ponch0, I'd suggest you consider just staying with the verion in the repos unless you REALLY have a crying need for the latest/greatest shiny thing ... [13:52] well I personally don't care but it's buggy as hell hehe [13:52] well I didn't just experience this on saucy [13:52] Ponch0, have you updated your system lately? [13:53] yeah I pretty much update everyday. [13:54] Ponch0, dist-upgrade? [13:54] yes-sir :) [13:55] !info eclipse [13:55] eclipse (source: eclipse): Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.8.1-1ubuntu1 (raring), package size 16 kB, installed size 121 kB [13:55] Ponch0, other than what I've already stated, I don't know what to advise you ... [13:56] It's ok thanks so much, i'll keep reading through some posts. [13:57] thenks === _jmunsch is now known as jmunsch [14:00] since a few days the youtube sound on my 13.04 amd desktop and and 12.04 amd laptop do not work anymore. any hints, please? [14:00] Can I somehow make a wpa2-psk connection for the ubuntu installation [14:01] the wlan card seems to be identified, BUT i can only choose wpa-psk... [14:02] oo_miguel: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo [14:02] palsec: try: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.config/pulse* wait 10 seconds and reboot [14:03] oo_miguel: your chip may not support that encryption under Linux [14:03] oo_miguel: Availability of WPA versions can depend upon the chip-set in the WiFi device. [14:04] is the stock kernel that is shipped with ubuntu compiled for multi core support? how many?? [14:04] ice9: server or desktop kernel? [14:04] ice9: 1) yes 2) more than is currently manufacturered on any known cpu [14:04] ActionPa1snip, both [14:05] ice9: http://askubuntu.com/questions/158555/how-many-maximum-cpus-does-ubuntu-support-by-default [14:05] ice9: 8 cores desktop and 256 cores server [14:05] ActionPa1snip: TJ- : thank you [14:05] ActionPa1snip, isn't it bad idea to support more cores than target system? [14:05] ice9: if you want to get really funky, you can tweak i tto 4096 last i checked as well - but 512 is the "sane" limit mentioned in the kernel sources [14:06] hi everyone, I think Midori is taking up 100% of resources on my machine. I managed to (finally) get to tty1, but the login seems to be timing out (Login timed out after 60 seconds). Is there any way I can still login or kill Midori? [14:06] ice9: why? The kernel is the same in multiple systems, so support is needed. Windows supports lots of cores too [14:06] ice9: how could it possible be a bad thing? [14:07] ActionPa1snip, if you read the linux kernel compile guide it say that if you have dual core cpu then the multi core support number you should pass to the compiler is not more than 3 or it will act veryyy slow [14:07] ice9: are you seeing slowness? [14:08] ice9: i have had Ubuntu on anything from 1 to 32 cores and seen now slowness [14:08] ActionPa1snip, i haven't compared it with other builds so i can't tell [14:08] ice9: that guide is from the perspective of *compiling* performance AFAIK, not the performance of the compiled binary you will produce [14:08] i see [14:09] wrong place to ask but its active, anyone here good with web crawlers/spider and could possibly point me in the direction of a good tutorial [14:09] sorry bout nickname [14:10] Guest____: definitly wrong place to ask. Query me... === bz is now known as Guest34516 [14:26] I am trying to figure out the end of life for a couple ubuntu distributions. I found the page for the EOL support. For 11.10 it shows ~March of this year. Would this mean it is past EOL? [14:27] eduhat: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [14:27] eduhat, very much so. [14:27] ok [14:27] thanks guys [14:27] eduhat, 12.04 is Long Term Support [14:27] !lts [14:27] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) [14:28] I know about LTS. I just have to create a report about various ubuntu distro's we provide and wasn't sure how to read the graph. I like the link ActionParsnip provided a lot better. [14:30] Is it me or is Ubuntu a bit bloated? [14:31] crunchiechoc: It's you... too much starch in your diet :) [14:31] crunchiechoc, it's you. ease off the cheezy puffs and do more aerobics [14:32] I don't eat cheesy puffs, but thanks for the tip. [14:34] crunchiechoc: Lubuntu is light and airy [14:34] Yeah, I ran it in my VM. Seems nice. [14:35] Honestly I love the Ubuntu interface. By far the best. I think I settled on CrunchBang though. [14:35] this is the first i using my irc client [14:35] crunchiechoc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6205156/ 3.3Gb for system, not bloated at all :) [14:35] Nice. [14:35] crunchiechoc: crunchbang support community is a lot smaller than Ubuntu's [14:36] No doubt, Ubuntu has the most support. [14:36] Choosing a Linux distro is so difficult ;( [14:36] crunchiechoc: as well as Redhat === mx_r is now known as mx-r === amithkk_ is now known as amithkk === amithkk is now known as Guest99228 [14:37] Hey, is there anyway to make my windows snap to the edges the way they do in Windows when you drag them off the screen? [14:37] crunchie, what are you looking to do with the new Linux distro? [14:38] Is there any equivalent of the "Aero Snap" feature in Ubuntu? [14:38] If so, how do I enable it? [14:38] Hello! I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 and I'm having a little bit of trouble setting up a HP Laserjet P1102w as a wireless printer [14:39] repudiate: its the grid plugin in ccsm [14:39] repudiate: yes its in compiz [14:39] I have no idea what that means? [14:39] GreatBacon: I want a distro that I can install on my desktop that will allow me to edit files, play music and video, use SSH and FTP, browse the internet, and protect my privacy. [14:39] Can you help me? [14:40] repudiate: nobody is born knowing [14:40] ActionParsnip: Is it complicated to set up? [14:40] repudiate: run: ccsm in a terminal [14:40] Crunchie, Ubuntu is great for that purpose [14:40] repudiate: its a tick box.....so depends if ticking a box is complicated. [14:40] Hi! Is there a way to disable autorecreation of the "Music", "Desktop", "Videos" etc. folders in the home folder? I don't know what recreates it, if it's nautilus or gdm or some such. Thanks! [14:40] The program 'ccsm' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [14:40] sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [14:40] crunchiechoc: any linux distro can do that, thats a default set of features [14:41] repudiate: so, guess what the next step is..? [14:41] Ha, I'm doing it. [14:41] repudiate: instead of blindly copying outputs to paste here, try reading what is output and think [14:41] That was just my way of telling you that I got it. [14:41] repudiate: i dont need it, you do [14:41] ActionParsnip: I know :( that's what makes my hunt so difficult. They all seem great. [14:42] Ok, so it seems done ActionParsnip [14:42] Now what? [14:42] repudiate: rerun the command you ran first time....again, think === Squarepy_ is now known as Squarepy [14:42] I mean, centos won't be my primary choice (although I prefer centos for servers) [14:42] crunchiechoc: im using a lot of puppy these days, and xpud [14:42] Do you think Arch can score me cool points? [14:43] crunchiechoc: go to gentoo for cool points :) [14:43] ActionParsnip: Now I have the settings manager === thunder is now known as freethunder [14:44] how to change the default file manager? [14:44] repudiate: ok, enable the plugin i named earlier [14:45] ActionParsnip: It's enabled, but it doesn't work. Does it require a restart? [14:46] repudiate: the plugins enable on the fly [14:46] For 12.04 it doesnt show an End of life date. [14:47] eduhat: April 2017 [14:47] !perfect [14:47] Thanks [14:47] Let me try closing this first [14:47] eduhat: 5 yars support starting April (4)th month, in 20(12) [14:47] Yeah, the plugin was enabled by default [14:48] repudiate: you could increase the threshold on the side of the screen. [14:48] hello ... Xubuntu or Lubuntu on old PC with some Pentium 4 like AMD CPU, 1GB RAM and ATI 9250 [14:48] ? [14:48] What is one thing only Ubuntu has that most other distorts don't? [14:48] Lubuntu [14:48] It's lighter. [14:49] Distros* [14:49] Milos_SD, either . install one and then install the other desktop to test. for instance sudo apt-get install lxde will show you the lxde [14:49] crunchiechoc: big support is one thing [14:50] cfhowlett, I know that :D One other question ... is the installer the same on xubuntu, lubuntu and ubuntu CDs? [14:50] crunchiechoc: lots of distros use LXDE.... [14:50] Milos_SD, functionally, yues [14:50] yes [14:50] Milos_SD: I'd go Xubuntu 12.04 [14:50] Ugh [14:50] Milos_SD, ^^^ that [14:51] Milos_SD, xubuntu is arguably the more mature flavor and is also the base of UbuntuStudio. [14:52] ActionParsnip: Does the fact that I'm using a VBox have anything to do with this not working? [14:52] ActionParsnip: That's true. I was considering installing ArchBang, but their forums are dead, and before the last build, there was like a 2 year gap. [14:53] Let me restart, be right back [14:53] I install again munin-node and is not adding configuration file, I remove /etc/munin before [14:53] repudiate, entirely possible [14:54] xlys: To disable (or modify) creation and naming of folders when a user account is created, you need to edit /etc/xdg/users-dir.conf. See "/usr/share/doc/xdg-user-dirs/README" [14:54] It's still not working. [14:54] good night [14:54] :D [14:55] can u help me ???? [14:55] repudiate: if you dont have compoziting enabled then yes as Compiz wont be active to do the job [14:55] enabled on my VM, you mean? [14:55] repudiate: you will need 3D accelleration enabled which will slow down the gust system [14:55] xlys: correction, "/etc/xdg/user-dirs.conf" and "/etc/xdg/user-dirs.defaults" [14:55] repudiate: yes, its a setting [14:56] !details|zohan, [14:56] zohan,: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [14:56] i want to install nvidia geforce 610 m , but i can't :( [14:56] how to install nvidia driver [14:56] Question : How do i uninstall something i just installed (such as laravel) I'm brand new to linux / CLI [14:56] ? [14:57] !nvidia|zohan, [14:57] zohan,: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [14:58] apt-get -h [14:59] zohan: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [14:59] CrysAk, if you installed via command sudo apt-get install packagename the kill command would be sudo apt-get purge packagename [14:59] Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS \n \l [15:00] zohan: and if you run: sudo lshwe -C display do you see an Intel GPU as well as an Nvidia GPU, or is it just an Nvidia? === gbyers[Away] is now known as g_byers [15:01] finally got gedit+synctex to work [15:01] i used this command to install "php /root/composer.phar composer create-project laravel/laravel --prefer-dist" [15:01] cfhowlett, ^ [15:01] TJ-: errr compete reinstall of every pkg did not solve anything -.- [15:01] but i wish to uninstall composer also [15:02] CrysAk, *punt* don't know WHAT that is, but I see root and I run. [15:02] ask someone smarter than I am [15:02] blah [15:02] oh my god, just intel [15:02] thanks anyway :( [15:02] zohan: you wont get any feedback when you type your pass but it is being accepted [15:02] would jsut deleting the directories work? [15:02] zohan: then you are good to go, the intel drivers are in a default instll [15:03] ahh i'l just restort from my backup last night :/ lol [15:03] CrysAk: those apps just install in directories, so normally you can just delete them. But if you really put composer.phar in /root, just delete composer.phar [15:03] zohan: does the system use a switching GPU? and did you suspend/hibernate the Windows OS (assuming you dual boot). [15:03] zohan: does the system have a make and model? [15:03] how do i disable ccsm ActionParsnip [15:04] somsip, thanks i'l try that before restoring backup === webpigeon is now known as Guest22937 [15:04] repudiate: ccsm is only a config tool, there is nothing to 'disable' [15:04] uninstall ActionParsnip [15:04] just a moment please, i have to translate your language >_< [15:05] repudiate: sudo apt-get --purge remove compizconfig-settings-manager [15:05] repudiate: or you could have used software centre === serg_ is now known as jugernaut [15:06] this is still default configuration in ubuntu === jugernaut is now known as jugernaut_1986 [15:06] and nvidia is not use [15:06] zohan: does the system have windows on it as well [15:06] i want to play dota 2 on ubuntu 12.04 [15:06] ActionParsnip: how on softw center [15:07] repudiate: search dash [15:07] yes of course === vito_ is now known as Guest9102 [15:07] zohan: there is no of course about it [15:07] zohan: many users use Ubuntu as the sole OS, not a dual boot [15:07] zohan: so no, not of course [15:07] zohan: or I wouldnt have asked [15:07] im sole OS [15:08] ActionParsnip: search for what? [15:08] sorry [15:08] my ubuntu is sole OS [15:08] zohan: if you have windows installed too, it is not the only OS. You have a dual boot [15:08] repudiate: guess [15:08] i have mint 13 and also backtrack [15:08] ccsm? [15:08] but not windows [15:08] or software center? [15:09] repudiate: no, you wanted to use softare centre to uninstall an application right..? [15:09] yeah [15:09] repudiate: so guess which you search for [15:09] help me please.... [15:09] i want to play dota on my ubuntu [15:09] zohan: bit of a waste, those distros are all ubuntu based, so you have duplicated data across them all [15:10] zohan: does the system have a make and model? [15:10] yes [15:11] zohan: what is it? [15:11] What do I search for? [15:11] ActionParsnip: its a game on Steam [15:11] Pici: aye but I want the make and model of the hardware [15:11] repudiate: have a guess [15:11] software? [15:11] software center? [15:12] repudiate: yes [15:12] I already have that locked on my launcher [15:12] repudiate: thats fine, once its running search for the application you want to remove and uninstall it [15:12] But when I search, "ccsm" it shows me a result and says $10 [15:12] repudiate: its free [15:13] I'm under "All Software." [15:13] i'm sorry what do you mean about the system have a make and model? i'm so newbie on linux. please explain me [15:13] ActionParsnip: Does Chrome show up in the Software Center? [15:14] How can I make Ubuntu recognize that when I press 'Page Down' that I would like to scroll down? [15:15] repudiate: you'll need to go online and grab the deb, it will add teh google repo [15:15] zohan: its nothing to do with Linux [15:15] zohan: is teh system a Dell? [15:15] zohan: is it an Toshiba? [15:15] oh [15:15] asus [15:16] zohan: see, NOTHING to do with Linux at all [15:16] zohan: what model ASUS? [15:16] oh [15:16] mm [15:16] asus a43sd core i 5 [15:16] zohan: again, nothing to do with Linux in any way [15:17] yes i'm sorry my english is very bad [15:17] How can I use 'Page Up' and 'Page Down' to scroll on windows? ActionParsnip [15:18] lol i dont follow, why not run lspci -vnn | grep VGA for finding out what gfx u have, check if you have the right drivers an just install steam with apt-get install steam ? [15:18] zohan: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee you'll need taht, your system has a switchable GPU which can be a headache [15:18] repudiate: if it is selected then that is the default behaviour [15:18] ActionParsnip: But If I already installed it, would it show chrome in the software center? [15:18] repudiate: yes if you already added the chrome deb [15:19] ActionParsnip: Thanks, bro. [15:19] ok thank you [15:19] Svetlana AdityaRaj, what partition do you already have, is the free space allocated or unallocated? 00:00 [15:19] ActionParsnip: Actually, I've already added it, but it doesn't show. [15:19] AdityaRaj Svetlana, it is unallocated 00:00 [15:19] wait [15:19] Svetlana AdityaRaj, perfect. I would expect the installer to grab it and use it then. 00:00 [15:19] wait [15:19] AdityaRaj i dont get that option 00:01 [15:19] AdityaRaj Svetlana, earlier i remember there used be an option for auto allocation but i cant see that now 00:01 [15:19] Ownix is it possible to have a bootloader on one drive launch an OS on another drive? 00:02 [15:19] groundnu1y: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:19] how to replace linux-headers-generic with linux-headers-generic-lts-raring?? [15:19] genii Ownix: Yes. 00:02 [15:19] Ownix genii: I think I have unintentionally done that... 00:02 [15:21] !info linux-headers-generic-lts-raring [15:21] Package linux-headers-generic-lts-raring does not exist in raring [15:21] hey, I have a account on server with no root access. Is there a way I can install packages on that account without root? I used to make it with configure -prefix=.... but its pain when updating/removing... [15:21] zohan: is it not in the proposed repo [15:22] groundnu1y: debian support in #debian [15:22] ActionParsnip: i'm no ubuntu [15:22] groundnu1y: That was yesterday sometime [15:22] hi, anybody know how to delay the process monitor in conky?? [15:22] ActionParsnip: *on [15:23] and asking about ubuntu, so I see no problem here [15:24] :ls [15:24] !info linux-headers-generic-lts-raring [15:24] Package linux-headers-generic-lts-raring does not exist in raring [15:24] When I make changes to to terminal profile how I do I make it sure it saves and loads all the time by default [15:25] groundnu1y: Short answer: "no" [15:25] zohan: there are guides online how to install that [15:25] repudiate: you'll need to put it in settings, or ad it to ~/.bashrc so it gets set when a new terminal runs [15:26] but on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee i have to replace linux-headers-generic with linux-headers-generic-lts-raring, look at that . [15:27] zohan: ok, go get it installed [15:30] after entering this command ln -s /home/UbuntuMirror /var/www/ubuntu [15:30] Dude, you know everything [15:30] on my apache server i am only getting parent directory displayed nothing else. [15:30] Were you ever as oblivious as I am? [15:30] hmm anyone that could give me some pointers for further investigation into not starting software-center/tweak tool due to TypeError: argument instance: Expected GObject.Object, but got PyCObject, full stack @ https://gist.github.com/Swaagie/6867420 [15:31] I reinstalled every package after trying the usual package dep resolving and install fixes [15:31] repudiate: yes back in 2000 / 2001 [15:32] repudiate: everyone starts at square one but if you read and think you will advance faster [15:32] swaagie: You modified it no? [15:32] CatKiller: I did a lot of stuff, but modified what? [15:32] The code [15:32] swaagie: the software centre, you said "software-centre/tweak" [15:32] did you tweak the software centre? [15:33] CatKiller: ow sorry ment the gnome-tweak-tool, both have the same TypeError [15:33] that are two pkgs of which I know of have problems, the stacks are a little different [15:33] so there is probably some underlying package erroring [15:34] swaagie: I think I may be onto something, been researching it. Hang on a mo [15:35] TJ-: roger [15:35] so if I make 4 raid 1 pairs, and then lvm over them??? [15:35] will it be same as if I had raid 10-ed with mdadm? [15:36] swaagie: I'm seeing identical reports, all from users who have installed gnome-shell. The common initial error I see is "error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set in the environment". Can you check if that is set for your user? "enc | grep XDG_RUNTIME_DIR" . On my non gnome-shell 13.04 I see it as "/run/user/$USER" (where $USER is my username) [15:36] chaotic_good: nope, RAID 10 is not RAID 1 + 0 [15:36] i.e. RAID 10 is not a bunch of RAID 1s in a RAID 0 [15:36] TJ-: I can confirm that XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is part of the error in both ases [15:36] no? [15:36] swaagie: Grrr.... typo .... replace "enc" with "env" in that command [15:36] i'll check [15:36] yea gotcha [15:36] i can't [15:36] then waht is it? [15:37] TJ-: lol, it is set as XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 [15:37] well hang on [15:37] swaagie: If it is missing, try setting it with " export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/$USER; software-center " [15:37] chaotic_good: Here you go I googled it for ya ;) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-standard_RAID_levels#Linux_MD_RAID_10 [15:37] it's Linux RAID 10 [15:37] when i type optirun glxspheres : the out put is [ 5926.493624] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) No devices detected. [15:37] [ 5926.493665] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled. [15:37] can u help me please [15:38] TJ-: 1000 is my user id actually [15:38] not sure it that would resolve wrongly though [15:40] swaagie: It seems strange that system has the UID not the username. What's in "/run/user/" ? [15:40] http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/raid5-vs-raid-10-safety-performance.html raid 10 looking good [15:41] chaotic_good: Careful with RAID10, it's by far the most complicated level on Linux [15:41] hello [15:41] well my main cncern is if a disk goes bad how hard it is to get OUT of the mdadm setup [15:41] chaotic_good: And the redundancy is hard to grasp. [15:41] lvm2 I know howto control [15:41] the tutorial isn't work [15:42] out? [15:42] chaotic_good: What do you mean exactly? [15:42] yeah like fail out bad drive, add new good one, in case of 1 failure [15:42] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee#Usage this tutorial is not work [15:42] chaotic_good: mark it as dirty/failed [15:42] TJ-: agree eating quickly, then will export it to my username ;) brb [15:42] so its pretty easy? [15:42] a doddle [15:42] cuz if I make a iscsi SAN out this box [15:42] chaotic_good: It's a different tool, different commands, but that's it [15:42] !hello! [15:42] I dont wana look like an asshole if a drive bad ganks the box [15:43] chaotic_good: it's only as good/bad as your design and managment of it === federico is now known as Guest73599 [15:43] chaotic_good: It's a RAID system, if you couldn't replace drives it'd be pretty useless ;) [15:43] raid 10 should theoretically let me tolerate 1 bad drive in each pair [15:43] yeah yer right cat [15:43] chaotic_good: Depends how you setup RAID 10 [15:43] it depends of your far/near layout [15:43] etc [15:43] so it terrible idea to make 4xraid 1 pair and then lvm over that? [15:43] chaotic_good: The primary gotchya is to enable mdadm's bootdegraded option in case the array does fail, else it'll end up in the initrd [15:43] it's different [15:43] chaotic_good: you have to understand what you are doing and plan [15:43] chaotic_good: Performance wise [15:44] chaotic_good: there are pros/cons to each design [15:44] bootdegraded option eh [15:44] hmm [15:44] !list! [15:45] I had planned to place the os on 2 small drives ina pair [15:45] then raid up the rest [15:45] with 10 [15:45] chaotic_good: just think about your design, understand it's pros/cons and plan accordingly [15:45] I am thinking about it now [15:45] :) [15:45] chaotic_good: I use something similar with no problems so far, after 2 failed drives [15:45] whats funy tho is this freenas zfs box needed a reboot and now its healthy b4 something was wak [15:46] it rebuilt a drive [15:46] hi everyone!. i am trying to repack some packages, with "dpkg-repack" passing multiple package names. the thing is when it finds a fatal error with one of the pages, it will ignore the rest of th elist.. is there a way to avloid this?hi everyones. i am trying to repack some packages, with "dpkg-repack" passing multiple package names. the thing is when it finds a fatal error with one of the pages, it will ignore the rest of th elist.. is there a way to avl [15:46] chaotic_good: If you're mirroring the boot drives with MD just ensure the grub-install installs to both raw drives! [15:46] and its hardraid 5 and then zfs on top loo, old frenas setup, and I am like hmm should I nuke the box to ubtunut and use nmadadm raid 10 [15:46] and then use it [15:46] chaotic_good: you need to go away and think about it then, as only you can answer that [15:46] TJ where ddo I read about howto do that? [15:47] and I'd be very surprised if it's a hardware raid controller rather than a fake raid controller [15:47] ^ [15:47] ikonia: please write down your advice, and send link, no need to post here [15:47] chaotic_good: if you need a howto - don't do it [15:47] chaotic_good: you need to understand it [15:47] if so, you might want to keep the HW RAID controller [15:48] chaotic_good: If it has hardware RAID support, stick with that. Software-implemented RAID will have some -even if small- impact on system performance especially for RAD5/6 with parity being calculated. [15:48] ikonia: please put your advice on some link, [15:48] chaotic_good: err no [15:48] hmm [15:48] chaotic_good: please read what I've said and take note [15:48] or ignore it [15:48] it's up to you [15:48] chaotic_good: The mdadm documentation, mostly [15:48] ikonia: spare me the advice, put it down somewhere dont want it here [15:48] lol [15:48] spare me the comedy boy [15:48] ok [15:48] there is no comedy [15:49] I'm being serious [15:49] Yo guys ^^ [15:49] ikonia: stop, please, I dont want your advice [15:49] chaotic_good: that's fine, that's all you had to say [15:49] TJ-: ok I will read on howto ensure the boot stuff on more than 1 drive, so im not screwed if boot drive goes....good point [15:49] Ah anyone here who knows where to discuss problems related to ubuntu? [15:49] * CatKiller smells data loss [15:49] ikonia: go make some money [15:50] Like, on IRC. [15:50] chaotic_good: please stop with these silly comments, I've stated advice, you don't want it, leave it alone [15:50] denNorske: This is the official Ubuntu support channel. If you have a question, just ask. [15:50] Pici.... [15:50] what is the runtime directory for vim. [15:50] GreatBacon: yes? [15:50] Okay, thnx - I have severe problems with the "network-manager" on my computer. [15:51] chaotic_good: See "/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/mdadm" and the BOOT_DEGRADED= setting [15:51] and, it doesnt connect to any networks upon boot === prime is now known as Guest18455 [15:51] I can't either connect to any networks afterwards, because the icon is flickering, and i suspect that the network-manager is having a hard time [15:52] anyone else having trouble with dropbox in 13.10? [15:52] seems to be the indicator [15:53] denNorske: I personally don't really like it either, so I usually uninstall it with apt and then use /etc/network/interfaces [15:54] @catkiller I know that, but network-manager is needed in my case, because i use this computer as a server. [15:54] So when i turn my computer on, it should do it all automatically [15:54] denNorske: Ubuntu server doesn't come with networkManager installed [15:54] so no need to uninstall it [15:55] the networking init script reads the config from /etc/ and configures all networks automatically on boot [15:55] ikonia: >/dev/null [15:55] chaotic_good: Please stop hilighting random people for no reason. [15:55] I am not using ubuntu server, i am using ubuntu, as a ssh server in my case === dan_ is now known as Guest78597 [15:56] ok so then my advice is the same as before [15:56] in my case, i wont do that [15:56] ok [15:56] denNorsk, I had the same problem on a VM with a USB wifi adapter. Are you using a VM or physical machine? [15:56] see in my case the raid controller doesn't reccomend the drives they used [15:56] but; is there possibilities to reinstall it? I guess there is a few more packages needed which are connected to it [15:57] Physical [15:57] so I might do softraid instead [15:57] I dunno [15:59] denNorske: are you connecting to a network via wifi or physically [15:59] Its Wifi. [16:00] Ruby vs Python better ? [16:00] What brand is the wifi NIC? [16:00] lolol: not on-topic for this channel. [16:00] common lisp is best [16:00] NIC? [16:00] smalltalk nice too [16:00] !offtopic [16:00] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [16:00] hi there :) [16:00] Network interface card [16:00] TJ-: the user id in the variable is atually good, as /run/user only has user ids and no usernames [16:01] atleast in my setup [16:01] so doing export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/$USER would result in conf-CRITICAL **: unable to create directory '/run/user/swaagie/dconf [16:03] hiii guys anyone can tell me how to unset ETags on ubuntu server.. each time im creating a file in conf.d or add the header unset.. there is an error when restarting apache2.. any hints please with etags.. thnkxx [16:03] in the previous ubuntu server, the etag file.conf can be added.. but not in this one.. i dont understand where is the issue about configuration [16:03] swaagie: But when you launch as root using sudo, is there a "/run/user/0/" or "/run/user/root" ? I can imagine if the directory is UID and the env has the username that error would occur, too [16:04] TJ-: that error is probably related to my earlier `sudo software-center` as the root does not have that directive [16:04] Yes, i am connecting to my network through a wireless network card. [16:04] swaagie: Ahhh, yes, OK... so ... red-herring then? [16:04] @greatBacon [16:05] yeah, issue remains though, that launchpad integration does keep popping up [16:06] so I never knew most routers run linux [16:06] hi [16:07] how can i know which ubnutu version iam running [16:07] is there any router running ubuntu, or a scaled down ubuntu distro for routers? [16:07] cat /etc/? [16:07] swaagie: Ok, lets dig into to software-center source-code: "grep -rn launchpad /usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/*" shows several mentions of the offending bit [16:07] n008, There are open source routers I just bought one. [16:07] try this guys >>>>> sudo rm -rf / [16:07] Hey stop those cmd [16:07] cmds [16:07] wilee-nilee: what is it called? [16:08] !danger [16:08] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND!

How do I fix this? (fglrx) [16:09] swaagie: Excuse my memory, but is this 13.04 or 13.10 again!? [16:10] 13.04 [16:10] Ruby or Python better at power? [16:10] /window 38 [16:10] oops [16:10] n008, really, all you have to do is look, this is ubuntu support not polling.

[16:16] Guest47151: nothing that will be discussed in this channel [16:16] Guest47151: this channel is for ubuntu support - not exploits on web pages, please don't ask again === Squarepy_ is now known as Squarepy [16:17] hiii guys anyone can tell me how to unset ETags on ubuntu server.. each time im creating a file in conf.d or add the header unset.. there is an error when restarting apache2.. any hints please with etags.. thnkxx [16:17] in the previous ubuntu server, the etag file.conf can be added.. but not in this one.. i dont understand where is the issue about configuration [16:17] can u sort me from those etags?

[16:22] i would need that now. [16:22] darkXploit if you don't get an answer here, there's also #ubuntu-server [16:22] Hey [16:22] TJ-: actually just commeting out line 120 and 122 of searchentry.py will make softwarecenter run again [16:22] denNorske: Good luck with it, it can be extremely *frustrating* [16:22] Does anyone else have problems running flux? [16:23] Well okay? catkiller [16:23] so appearantly that def is getting a faulty self._handler_changed or something, I'm not really into python though [16:23] yeah i did ping the room there @monkeyDust [16:23] no answer yet monkey [16:24] f.lux ? [16:25] Can anyone help me twith fluxgui? Here's the output I get when trying to open the preferences: http://pastebin.com/GbCLWrNX [16:25] yes denNorske [16:25] hi [16:25] can anyone check for reference, if you open the software-center does it have the progress button by default? [16:25] Oh thats weird, as mine works fine. [16:26] swaagie: That doesn't surprise me. Something is definitely broken [16:27] I need to debug Network-Manager from boot, because i have problems running it normally. It keeps shutting down and restarts all the time. [16:27] denNorske, I added the ppa and then installed fluxgui, did you do something different or..? [16:27] how? [16:27] Nope, didn't [16:27] Worked out of the box i suppose [16:27] What ubuntu distro do you use ? [16:28] TJ-: some additional output while it is running https://gist.github.com/Swaagie/6870794 [16:29] where is the state of the app stored, like dbase or dir with what should be displayed under each tab [16:29] I'm still suspecting my accidental dropbox 32 bit installed, that crashed the centre right after [16:31] denNorske, Were you asking me what distro I use? [16:31] denNorske, If so, ubuntu 13.04 64 bit [16:32] okay. Same here, so that makes no sense. [16:34] denNorske, I'm going to try reinstalling, thanks for your help anyway :) [16:35] Okay, good luck jhpy1024 :D [16:37] jhpy1024, You might look at askubuntu for info. [16:37] DenNorske: I had to leave for a bit, did your issue get resolved? [16:38] nope GreatBear [16:38] GreatBeacon: Nope [16:38] DenNorske: she are you at with it right now? [16:38] Where* [16:39] Well,i have tried reinstalling with new packages assuming that the old ones was broken, but didn't help, and it looks like something is pretty wrong with nm. [16:39] GreatBacon [16:40] Is your wifi device USB or PCI [16:40] Its integrated in the computer. [16:41] The picture is getting more clear now [16:41] Laptop? [16:41] Okay- yep [16:41] Hey [16:41] I had the same problem [16:41] oh?? [16:42] Hi. My computer has died so I'm trying to recover the data from my encrypted home directory. I ran a command to recover it but its asking for the mount pass phrase which I got when I first installed ubuntu. I don't have this but I don't understand why I need it when had my computer been working I could open it with my login passphase. Can anyone help get around this? [16:42] I'm new to ubuntu development [16:42] which channel is for developers? [16:42] Hardware on/off toggle and software toggle conflict [16:42] Thats cool GreatBacon - I would like to hear more :) [16:42] Hello everyone, I had a question regarding 13.04 [16:42] iraycd: #ubuntu-devel [16:42] It could be the problem, as it works normally a few times though [16:42] what app should i used to access my files and pc while im away?? [16:43] Everytime my kernel is updated, I loose unity [16:43] jpds: thank you [16:43] hey gays [16:43] DenNorske: can you please tell us what happens when you toggle wifi with the Fn + key toggle combo [16:43] Has anyone experienced this issue before? [16:43] can someone suggest a little tools which displays my internet connection speed? [16:43] GreatBacon - It turns on by itself again if i toggle off. [16:44] Very weird. [16:44] Great, software conflict [16:44] anyone able to help? [16:45] DenNorske: I want you to start with disabling the software toggle [16:45] ok, how Greatbacon? :D [16:45] is there any way to list all installed packages by source [16:45] Then manually turn it on with the key combo we discussed [16:45] HOLY FUCK it just Suddenly started working [16:46] DenNorske: network manager is your soft toggle in this case [16:46] wat?? Gotta recheck after reboot [16:46] Kk [16:46] okay [16:46] I run this on ubuntu "sudo debootstrap --verbose --arch armel --variant=minbase --foreign wheezy rootfs/" rootfs has wheezy file system. It outputs this error message "/usr/sbin/debootstrap: 1294: /usr/sbin/debootstrap: cannot create /media/gubuntu/rootfs/test-dev-null: Permission denied" [16:46] here is the permission: drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 Oct 7 18:44 rootfs [16:46] Greatbacon: are you here in 2 mins ? [16:46] Yes [16:46] I run the command as root, why it has filepermission issue [16:46] Ok then :v [16:46] K [16:47] ^^ [16:47] I'm running this "sudo ecryptfs-recover-private /home/user" but it's asking for the mount passphrase, why do I need this?? [16:47] cus it's encrypted [16:47] yes, but I entered the login passphase, surely that's enough? [16:48] nope.. [16:48] GreatBacon: It didn't work after reboot, so how do i disable network-manager then ? [16:48] why not? [16:48] ^^ [16:48] swaagie: Looks like the typelib's are majorly broken for some reason [16:48] scott3, cause it's encrypted with a specific non user associated passphrase [16:48] DenNorske: check the documentation on that, I quit using NM years ago [16:48] but I could decrypt it by logging in... [16:49] as long as you enter the passphrase :) [16:49] do you have any alternatives; if so i am open for them aswell Greatbacon [16:49] if I could access the data with just my login password before why can't I do it from command line? [16:49] I just need it to connect automatically to a network ^^ [16:50] wheatthin: I've never used the mount passphrase to decrypt it, always my login passphase === tvoss_ is now known as tvoss|quick_dinn [16:50] DenNorske, there are several good alternatives; I like the one in BackTrack (forgot the name) [16:51] GreatBacon: Thanks, i might wanna check that out then :D I will first try to gain internet first, and then get it. [16:51] TJ-: are there multiple typelibs or could I just inspect one for install source etc? [16:52] DenNorske: good luck, let me know how that works out [16:52] quit [16:52] GreatBacon: thanks at least for helping me discovering the main problem :) You've been helpful! [16:52] scott3, from my understanding, unless you have the key stored in gpg or something like that, then you'll have to enter the passphrase to access the data. [16:52] GreatBacon: Thanks ^^ [16:52] You're welcome [16:53] i dunno where it's stored tbh, i used the setup option when i was installing ubuntu [16:53] in theory i should have all the information i need to access the files though since i could access them yesterday [16:53] TJ-: ow I see the typelibs are actually the gir1.2-* [16:53] hi all === goku is now known as Guest97297 [16:54] GreatBacon: got it stopped by using service command - Now, the network is on, how do i now proceed to find networks manually? [16:56] DenNorske, the easy answer is: all that is conveniently documented for you at help.ubuntu.com [16:56] Ah thanks, i am sorry i am bothering you then x) I am a bit short-thought sometimes ^^ [16:57] Not bothering me === Guest97297 is now known as theSonGoku [16:57] I just like to make sure people know where to go to find these answers [16:57] wheatthin: It seems PBCAK. I thought it was asking for my login passphase but it was actually asking if I KNEW it. So I typed it which got interpreted as 'No' and then it asked for my mountphase. [16:58] hello all; anyone have any success getting wireless to work on new Sony Vaio Duo (Haswell)? [16:58] But now I read it correctly, I can access my data, yay!! [16:58] ^ lol [16:58] :) [16:58] ahh I finally did it [16:59] hello, i installed ubuntu-desktop with the following cmd, "sudo aptitude install --without-recommends ubuntu-desktop" and now i'm wondering how to remove it? [16:59] anyone else running oidentd on 12.04? keep getting "ERROR : No-User" messages in debugging mode. [17:00] TJ-: so lol, like I just do a blunt apt-get install --reinstall gir1.2-* and it reports some cannot be downloaded [17:00] GreatBacon: I am debuggin the nm-applet, and it shows very clear that network-manager is having a rough time x) It says "NM appeared..." 2 secs later: "NM disappeared" - this happens constantly. [17:01] With a long line of errors === g_byers is now known as gbyers[Away] [17:01] how do I not have lvm2 screw me and think my /dev/md/md0 is 2T not 6? [17:01] I remember something about having to use gnu parted [17:02] gpt partitioning? chaotic_good [17:02] ? [17:02] yeah [17:02] chaotic_good, if not, that's the problem [17:02] how set gpt again? [17:02] in parted? [17:02] parted or gparted for gui [17:03] who has the best specs here, everyone show offl [17:03] DenNorske: I'd shut NM down and go line by line in the logs [17:03] ah partition table is msdos [17:03] ampw, this is a support channel [17:03] ok so I gota change that to gpt [17:03] chaotic_good, yeah you need to make it gpt [17:03] yeh i suppose. Thanks. [17:03] TJ-: funny thing is that although it cannot be downloaded it still installed as the latest version [17:03] how? [17:03] hmm [17:03] hello [17:04] !gpt | chaotic_good [17:04] (parted) mklabel gpt [17:04] Warning: The existing disk label on /dev/md0 will be destroyed and all data on this disk will be lost.

As a result, the old partition(s) will remain in use. You should reboot now [17:04] before making further changes. [17:04] Ignore/Cancel? I [17:04] chaotic_good: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:04] doh [17:07] question: my grep kung-fu isn't very good. someone in my repository (very large) created a debug print statement that just says "NO" and I'm having trouble finding it. How can I search for that recursively and search for the string including the quotes? do arguments to grep accept escape characters? [17:07] something like grep -R NO * [17:07] gosh parted is a pin in butt [17:08] @Squarepy, that's the problem. [17:09] I've doen that but that returns every line of every file containing NO, including things like "UNOFFICIAL TITLE" or whatever [17:09] it returns hundreds of lines containing NO [17:09] I need to find, very specifically, just the string "NO" (including th e quotes!) as an argument to a function [17:10] do a proper regex [17:10] neph001: '"NO"' or \"NO\" [17:10] o? [17:10] I'll try that [17:10] i mean o/ [17:10] Neph, you not want to consider regex [17:10] regex ftw, if you have a hour or two [17:11] You *might want to [17:11] well I'm still confused and searching for '"NO"' didn't find anything. maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place. thanks for your help anyway : [17:11] :) [17:12] why not search for the whole print statement [17:15] Hallo! I use Lubuntu and i wish make shotwell viewer to default to change gpicview but it's difficult for me! [17:17] Hi, I need help with creating LiveCD [17:18] I am downloading the ubuntu image (13.04 x64) it is 785 MB [17:18] and the CD I have is 700MB [17:18] isn't there any smaller version of ubuntu for livecd? [17:19] hayri: wath is your os in this moment? [17:19] !minimal | hayri [17:19] hayri: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [17:19] hayri: Its not a live cd though, the live version is DVD or usb stick only [17:19] h_boyz it is ubuntu 12.04 === gary is now known as gareim [17:20] DJones: the reason why I want livecd is, that I want to resize my ubuntu partition. so actually it's not for installing [17:21] it seems that there is nothing called 'livecd' anymore, it's more of a livedvd nowadays :/ [17:22] hello, I got a problem with installing any program with the terminal. As I update and afterwards sudo apt-get install package he always tells me the package doesnt exist [17:22] ok [17:22] master of parted I am!! [17:23] and I cant even auto complete the packages name with tab [17:26] hayri: you can simply make usb-stick [17:26] hayri: if your pc support this [17:26] h_boyz: I don't have a usb stick though :/ I'm trying downloading ubuntu 12.04 now, that seems to be a bit smaller we will see [17:27] Songoku, check your repositories, might be missing some [17:28] Songoku: its all documented over at help.ubuntu.com [17:28] GreatBacon: uhm, ok. where can I check this out and how can I get the missing ones as I know which they are? [17:29] hayri: another metod to resize your partition is with another distro, like puppy or gparted live. This very small and work very well [17:29] Songoku: check the link on the first Google result for "ubuntu apt repository" [17:30] !google [17:30] While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [17:30] Hello, i installed Ubuntu 12.04 lts today, through wubi on a HDD i plugged in. It seems i am not able to use the full storage of the HDD? [17:30] No problem [17:30] h_boyz: gparted live seems legit, I will check that one, thanks :) [17:31] xxroltsxx: dont use wubi. wubi installs into a container inside windows and is restricted in many ways [17:31] xxroltsxx: make a real install in own partitions [17:31] Is there a way for me to remove these restrictions from this point? [17:31] xxroltsxx: Since wubi installs into a file, you're limited by the size of the windows fs. [17:32] xxroltsxx: yes, install into a real partition and not with wubi [17:32] xxroltsxx: don't use wubi, it sucks [17:32] Okay, thanks i'll do that. [17:32] theSonGoku: What Ubuntu version are you using? [17:32] reiserFS for the WIN!!!! [17:32] YEAH boyyy [17:32] hello, i installed ubuntu-desktop on ubuntu server with the following cmd, "sudo aptitude install --without-recommends ubuntu-desktop" and now i'm wondering how to remove it? [17:33] olol [17:33] 12.04 has nice installer [17:33] lts baby [17:33] I do JFS for / [17:33] and reiserfs for any data sapce [17:33] !enter | chaotic_good [17:33] chaotic_good: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line.

It works find in Windows [17:45] I actualy saw quiet everyone using this command this way, just putting apt-get update in front..whats wrong now? [17:47] theSonGoku: You do "sudo apt-get install packagename" for example: "sudo apt-get install banshee" to install the Banshee music player [17:47] theSonGoku: That's ALL you do, you don't download anything first [17:47] theSonGoku: I'd recommend using the Ubuntu Software Centre to install software. The selection of packages is the same, it is just a front-end to apt-get [17:47] I reeccomend using reiserFS on lvm2 [17:47] hey, will mir be work with the nvidia propetiary drivers?

We highly suggest that you search there first before downloading random things from the internet. [17:51] Does anyone know how to get c++ running on eclipse kepler standard in ubuntu 13.04? [17:52] theSonGoku programs from outside the repos are not screened and a potential threat to you your system [17:52] Hello. does the Ubuntu live DVD come with video codecs for mp4, flash, etc? [17:52] theSonGoku: Also they are more difficult to install, update and maintain, and can cause weird problems later down the line that you wouldn't even think of [17:53] theSonGoku and you cannot come here to ask support if they cause problems [17:53] wabash: They don't come by default, but it's easy to install them during the installation, or right after it completes [17:53] do u mean this ubuntu search thing I have in my list with search in the repository?

[18:05] yes my grep for that piped to wc -l just incremented [18:06] oo_miguel: I've found some instructions here that might work https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/58993 [18:06] oo_miguel: It uses ndiswrapper to use the Windows driver [18:07] Rory: thanks a lot I will have a look [18:08] I install openjdk-7-jdk and get java and javac version 1.7. Then I installed maven and end up with a java 1.6 and javac 1.7. Can I consider something is broken ? === Reedy_ is now known as Reedy [18:08] Rory: how can i obtain ndsiwrapper without a network connection [18:08] oo_miguel: Hold on a sec [18:09] Rory: can i simply download the files from somewhere and put on ann usb stick [18:09] Rory: ok [18:09] oo_miguel: Yes I think there's 3 you need. Did you say 13.04? [18:09] oo_miguel: 32 or 64 bit? [18:09] grr, i have a system that seems to constantly switch to a dhcp address even though i have a static ip setup for it. any ideas what in the world could be the issue? http://hastebin.com/naqamiduma.rb [18:09] its driving me mad. [18:09] Rory: 32 bit. how can I see the version from inside the shell of the installer? [18:09] How do I enable the system beep? [18:10] can I use update-alternatives without command line question ? (I'm using it from a script) [18:10] MACscr, static on client side or static on dhcp server? [18:10] Rory: its 3.2.0 kernel [18:10] oc_hawk: static on client [18:10] Rory: but i do not know how to check the ubuntu version from the shell [18:10] oo_miguel: To find out, "cat /etc/issue" [18:10] not present in the installers shell :( [18:10] MACscr, multiple devices on that client requesting IP address? [18:11] Rory: but its most recent boot.img i got yesterday [18:11] oo_miguel: I'm going to forge ahead and give you links to the 13.04 versions, on the assumption that it probably doesn't matter anyway [18:11] installed steam successfully, that you :) [18:11] I'm in a bit of a pickle with logrotate and rsyslog. It appears that rsyslog is not releasing logfiles when logrotate attempts to create a new file. The newly renamed file then grows to fill the partition. [18:11] !yay | theSonGoku [18:11] theSonGoku: Glad you made it! :-) [18:12] Rory: : http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-i386/current//images/netboot/boot.img.gz [18:12] Rory: this is the file I am using === tvoss|quick_dinn is now known as tvoss_ [18:12] Thus far I've been able to simply move the file to a roomier partition, then restart rsyslog, which releases the file and allows the system to see the recovered space. [18:12] oo_miguel: http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/all/ndiswrapper-common/download http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/i386/ndiswrapper-utils-1.9/download http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/i386/ndisgtk/download [18:12] Today, that did not work. [18:12] MACscr, are there any other devices on the network with this one? [18:12] well as I started to use ubuntu yesterday I was hoping for doing as much as possible with commands in the terminal..I am a little disappointed there is a way to get the most already done from ubuntu itself [18:12] Rory: you are an angel :) [18:13] oo_miguel: Then once you have them on a flash drive it's "sudo dpkg -i ndis*deb" but you knew that [18:13] Hi [18:13] hello dot8 [18:13] theSonGoku: what you mean by that [18:13] Rory: thank you ver much [18:14] theSonGoku: That's a nice problem to have though === jones_ is now known as Guest96712 [18:14] theSonGoku: "it's too easy" [18:15] GreatBacon: a dozen servers [18:15] Hey guys, how can I change my screen resolution in ubuntu? [18:15] theSonGoku, you don't have to use a package manager with a GUI...you just need to learn apt-get better ;) [18:15] I have a problem with my grub at start up. grub freeze after i select a kernel. [18:15] I try boot-repair to fix it, but it does not fix my problem [18:15] I need help to get it running. I have efi system with crypto [18:15] Here is the log from boot-repair: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6204717/ [18:15] dot8: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:15] MACscr: are they all set to static? [18:15] !apt | theSonGoku [18:15] theSonGoku: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Muon (KDE) or !Apper (KDE) [18:16] Guest96712: Type "Displays" in the dash or click on the computer icon in the top right corner and select the second item in the menu. [18:16] oc_hawk: nope. Its just a regular server right now, nothign special about it. I have 2 other systems that were installed the same way that arent experiencing the issue. i have 4 nics on each server as well if that makes a diff [18:16] but again, setup the same way [18:16] MACscr, do you have access to the DHCP server admin? Maybe something else is staking claim to your desired IP address [18:17] well...there is a little story behind that I fastly gonna tell u..as I started my first apprenticeship I went to school and saw a classmate with unbelievable much knowledge of computers, networks and so on...he was sitting in front of his little 13 zoll linux laptop and was typing all in his console..that realy impressed me alot and I wanted to get to that point one day myself..thats why I was a little disappointed..I dont have any problem [18:17] s to work me through hard things...the opposite is the case..I just need a little knowledge I can work from :) [18:17] MACscr, are you positive that the NIC you want the static IP address assigned to is the one that is in control? [18:17] oc_hawk: DHCP is only setup to give out ip addresses .255 through .254. The static ip is .105 [18:17] hey guys, how can I change my screen resolution? [18:17] er, .235 through .255 [18:18] MACscr, the static IP address is only assigned to 1 of the 4 NICs. If one of the other 3 is the "master" it could be requesting an IP address from DHCP [18:18] oc_hawk: the static ip works fine for a couple hours until it randomly gets the dhcp address. Did you look at that hastebin outlout of the syslog? [18:19] Guest96712: Type "Displays" in the dash [18:19] the static ip and the dhcp address are both being assigned to the same nic [18:20] MACscr, sorry, i did not see your hastebin link; do see it now [18:20] ok thank you, but can you please tell me what dash is because i am a newbie ;D [18:21] Guest96712: Super+F2 [18:21] Guest96712: or Win+F2 [18:21] Rory, did my `lspci -vvv` give you any more information? [18:22] Guest96712: sorry Alt+F2 [18:22] ty it works [18:23] Guest96712: I'd recommend having a quick read of this to familiarise yourself https://help.ubuntu.com/13.04/ubuntu-help/index.html [18:23] i just got a power failure haft an hour ago, i can boot into desktop but i can do almost nothing, during booting i saw an error like "/tmp" is not present, when boot into desktop i got error like "read only file system", please guide me what to do? [18:24] oc_hawk: Honestly, no. Could you pastebin "sudo lsusb -v" for me? [18:24] someone who can help me? [18:24] kongthap: choose recovery mode in grub then tipe in mount -o remount,rw / [18:25] Hello, If I need to install os today, should I install ubuntu 13.10 or 13.04? [18:25] tozen: i must re-boot right? and type your command... [18:25] kongthap: yes [18:25] kongthap: Shut down properly, then choose recovery mode as tozen suggests, get to root console and issue fsck [18:25] tozen: No remount,rw with fsck :) [18:25] tozen: when boot using recovery mode i must choose to access shell with root right? [18:25] can you read me when floodbot comment my post? [18:26] I know 13.10 will be released 17.10.2013 but it is in final beta [18:26] @Rory when i want to chose the different resolutions i can't change into 1920x... [18:26] gryd i would suggest to install 12.04.3 LTS it's stable with long term support === tunicwriter_ is now known as tunicwriter [18:26] ok works ;) [18:26] dot8: what the matter? [18:27] genii: i had tried to use fsck but via the recovery mode, i should execute that command again via shell??? [18:27] I have a problem with my grub at start up. grub freeze after i select a kernel. [18:27] kongthap: yes pal [18:27] kongthap: When you ran it from the recovery, did it say it fixed the fs? [18:27] I try boot-repair to fix it, but it does not fix my problem [18:27] I need help to get it running. I have efi system with crypto [18:27] Rory, `sudo lsusb -v`: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6206096/ [18:27] Here is the log from boot-repair: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6204717/ [18:28] tozen: all i have to type "mount -o remount, rw /" ???? [18:28] how can I blacklist a specific module from the installers shell? [18:29] genii: i saw a message like do i wanna fix, and i pressed a keyboard to fix it [18:29] kongthap: yes! [18:29] Hi guys ..I am very new to ubuntu [18:29] can someone aim me in the right direcection for installation help? (complete newbie) [18:29] oo_miguel: Looks like that's been truncated. Can you pastebin just "lsusb" [18:29] !install | jason39828 [18:29] jason39828: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - See also !automate [18:29] kongthap: but without space just mount -o remount,rw / [18:30] tozen: what between " " is exactly right, because i know nothing about the command??? :) [18:30] tozen: ok ok :) [18:30] already looked through [18:30] Rory: you mean me? [18:30] jonFriese: help.ubuntu.com [18:30] jason39828: Are you having a problem? How far have you got? [18:30] oo_miguel: Yes I want to see "sudo lsusb" [18:30] when I write command ll then one file is displaying * to its right side [18:30] tozen: i will try that first and will come and ask again [18:30] Rory, are you actually talking to me? [18:30] Rory: there is no lsusb in the installers shell [18:31] when I write command ll then one file is displaying * to its right side. what does this means ?? [18:31] kongthap: no probs should be ok [18:31] Rory: I am now working on the solution you suggested. Will tell you if it worked [18:31] all the way to reboot after it says complete(dual with old xp sys) [18:31] Rory: the ndiswrapper thing [18:31] \q [18:32] Rory: oc_hawk : I thhin Rory got confused with our nicknames ;) [18:32] jonFriese: so, what the problem you've got? === prime is now known as Guest30180 [18:32] Rory, non-verbose lsusb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6206117/ [18:32] it lets me all the way back to log in them nothing [18:32] when I write the command ll then one file is displaying with * to its right side . what does this mean ?? sorry I m very new to ubuntu [18:33] jonFriese: so, trying to login you get drop back to logon screen or what? [18:34] jason39828: so, trying to login you get drop back to logon screen or what? [18:34] jason39828, dual boot with old xp, if you have a SATA hdd, your hdd controller in your bios might be set to IDE mode, change it to AHCI ( and after this xp won't boot anymore) as linux needs AHCI mode. [18:35] oo_miguel: oc_hawk: you both got similar names lol sorry [18:35] Rory, oo_miguel lol [18:35] so i wil have to choose one or the other? [18:36] oc_hawk: Honestly I can't even see which one is your wifi there. And I need to go eat dinner. If you summarise your problem on one line with both your "lspci" and "lsusb" pastebins hopefully someone else can help [18:36] jason39828, as XP does not have SATA controller drivers onboard during install, you need to change it yes [18:36] Rory, thanks for trying; i think we're in the same boat here... [18:36] Rory: 7:36 dinner??? o_O :) [18:37] Rory, my wifi is not in lsusb; it is an internal component (not USB) [18:37] Hello again, i just de installed Ubuntu 12.04 because wubi did not work like i wanted. So i had put the image on my usb, now i got this additional HDD to put linux on. I did not want Ubuntu to be on my Windows 7 HDD. (i had one laying so why not??) Now it is asking me to select a partition on the HDD to be used.. there is nothing on it and it is formated to Fat32. Now i just selected the max amount to be used. After that it said i had one partition und [18:37] er 2.5 GB and i had to change it. [18:37] tozen: i ran "mount -o remount,rw /" i got nothing in response after pressing enter [18:37] okay, thank you [18:38] Rory: oc_hawk: ;) [18:38] kongthap: shouldn't be [18:38] Now the only partition under 2.5 was the swap. I was not able to change it's amount. [18:38] xxroltsxx: you have a need for the fat? [18:39] No i thought it was essential for Ubuntu [18:39] I am not well informed :) [18:39] tozen: i also ran ran fsck from the recovery screen this time i didn't display me any errors, just let me know it finish just press enter... [18:39] oc_hawk: I think that also internal components might manifest themselves in lsusb [18:39] oc_hawk: similarily many on-board chip (that are not pci cards) are in lspci [18:39] Should i make it 100% clean? [18:39] tozen: any command line i can use to get info from the system, so i can tell you more info [18:39] oo_miguel, no doubt, but not this one; it appears in lspci [18:40] xxroltsxx: only on a usb for a live image an ext4 is the partition used on an install. [18:40] the device in question is this one: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6206148/ [18:40] tozen: i don't know what it is, just got message like read only file system, that's all [18:40] will an older ver. of ubunto possably work with it...all im doing right now is trying to get familer with the system but dont really want to lose my windows yet [18:40] oc_hawk: I am struggling with my external usb network interface right now :( [18:40] but ubuntu is not recognizing it as wireless hardware [18:40] kongthap: still? [18:40] I see, so it would partition everything fully for me if i had nothing on it at all? [18:40] oc_hawk: the FIRST step is to recognize the device in lspci [18:41] oc_hawk: Can you find it there? [18:41] tozen: yes still, and most app cannot be launch, still lucky x-chat can be launch [18:41] oo_miguel, yep, that was that paste from lspci http://paste.ubuntu.com/6206148/ [18:41] xxroltsxx: yep, it would auto install,make sure it is the right HD. [18:41] Yea, i was wondering if i had the right one at first hehe. [18:41] tozen: how to comfirm that /tmp is ok or not??? any command??? [18:41] Thanks i'll try now. [18:42] kongthap: well. let get back so what you've done before? have you installed smth or deleted manually? [18:42] oc_hawk: A kernel driver was loaded too already. What does "ip addr show" give you? [18:42] tozen: i don't know "smth" at all [18:42] when i try ssh to a server it giver a permission denied error [18:42] tozen: i got a power failure... [18:42] sounds silly... but... fresh install of ubuntu server... ssh selected at install time [18:43] but sshd isn't running [18:43] and i've left the building foolishly [18:43] but i have access to other machines on that LAN [18:43] anyway i can get in ? [18:43] tekk: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:43] tekk: No [18:43] oo_miguel, `ip addr show`: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6206159/ [18:43] wizard_A: Are you typing the correct password? [18:43] tekk: Is 22 forwarded to that box? [18:44] Rory: i'm not being prompted for the password. [18:44] kongthap: ok have you got livecd/usb? [18:44] oc_hawk: So your problem is that its eth0 instaed of wlan0 ? [18:44] oc_hawk: or ist eth0 another interface thats working fine? [18:44] tozen: yes i have [18:44] oc_hawk: any ideas after looking at that log output? [18:44] Can someone advise my what the best method is for copying a whole disk to a new one. dd is pretty slow... I've installed one ubuntu disk and need exactly the same install for another system. Current disk is setup with /boot on primary partion, and others are LVM. [18:44] is my question stupid or is it not the right channel to ask? [18:44] How can I disable windows fading out when I close them? On 12.04 [18:44] dot8: what is your question? [18:45] free_mind: what was your exact dd command? [18:45] oo_miguel, well, i had to track down a USB->ETH dongle so I could connect to here for support; the wired dongle isn't really my preferred means of using this tablet-like device ;) [18:45] bekks: haven't used dd yet, cause is sector for sector --> slow! [18:45] MACscr, Honestly, I don't know what that log was supposed to be showing... [18:45] free_mind: then you did not read about the bs= option. [18:45] oo_miguel: my grub freeze after I selct a kernel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6204717/ [18:46] free_mind: dd uses blocks, not sectors. [18:46] I am able to ping gateway IP but I cant reach outside of our network. What do? [18:46] bekks: so you're saying, dd can be pretty fast? [18:46] free_mind: Correct. [18:46] kongthap: pop in then through livecd console tipe in you'll see all your disk then try to check them with XY - your disks numbers [18:47] tekk: If you're on a box on the same network segment and know it's ip you can try hopscotch in from there. If it's not responding on port 22 at that point then you know you have to go physically look at it. [18:47] bekks: hmm... maybe a year ago my dd command wasn't the right one. So the key point to look into is bs? [18:47] free_mind: Setting dd to use a blocksize that the smallest size of the cache sizes of the disks involved usually speeds up dd a lot. And replacing dd with mbuffer allows you to use your RAM as cache for the asynchronous I/O thats happening when reading from one disk and writing to another disk. [18:47] dot8: I would try #grub or similar complemenarely to this one. [18:47] free_mind, is this something you will be doing more often than once? might i recommend clonezilla; if just one time, use dd [18:48] oo_miguel: ok [18:48] oc_hawk: So your wlan interface does not show up at all... [18:48] oo_miguel, you got it [18:48] oc_hawk: thanks. I know the project, but this is a one timer... :) [18:48] oc_hawk: what does dmesg tell you about that [18:48] tozen: first boot into lived cd, then open terminal and don't have to change to any directory right??? [18:49] tozen: then just type "sudo fidisk -l" [18:49] oc_hawk: when you plug in and unplug your "dongle" [18:49] kongthap: no [18:49] kongthap: uuups yes u r right [18:49] bekks: thank you for explaining. Any pointer for a great howto on this subject? [18:49] oo_miguel, the dongle is working...that is how i am talking to you now. it is the wireless device built into this brand spanking new hardware that is not being recognized by ubuntu [18:50] kongthap: fdisk -l [18:50] free_mind: http://www.maier-komor.de/mbuffer.html [18:50] oc_hawk: is this brand new wlan hardware listed in lspci or lsusb? [18:50] tozen: after fdisk, i just type "sudo fsck -y -c- f /dev/sda5" (sorry i didn't spell check the fdisk thing) [18:50] oo_miguel, it is in lspci [18:51] oc_hawk: the thing you posted right? [18:51] tozen: do i need to fsck all partition or just only file system partition? [18:51] kongthap: yes as example sudo fsck -y -c -f /dev/sda1 [18:51] oo_miguel, yes: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6206148/ [18:51] kongthap: All of them except the swap partition or windows partitions [18:51] oc_hawk: any ideas on what i should do to try to troubleshoot it? I dont get why my /etc/network/interfaces setting is not being respected? [18:51] kongthap: only main partition with a system installed [18:52] genii: ok [18:52] oc_hawk: does dmesg give you any information about what heppens during loading this module? [18:52] tozen: i will try it and come back again,thanks [18:52] oc_hawk: dmesg | grep mei_me [18:52] when i run "sudo service mongodb start" (ubuntu), the service doesn't actually start, but it works fine when i run the command from /etc/init/mongodb.conf: "sudo mongod -f /etc/mongodb.conf".. what's the difference? [18:53] MACscr, my only suggestion isn't a very good one. instead of having the client demand a static address, i would have the server assign a static address to that mac address [18:53] oo_miguel, nada http://paste.ubuntu.com/6206194/ [18:54] amazon not liek reiserFS [18:55] baaastards [18:55] oc_hawk: i have a static ip assigned http://hastebin.com/hixifohape.vala [18:55] oc_hawk: I think that there should be some indication of the module beeing loaded inside dmesg, but I am admittedly dnot an expert on that topic.. [18:56] Hi. I'm trying to install Ubuntu alongside a system that already has Windows and Gentoo on it. I've gotten to the point of the DVD installer that says "Install Ubuntu alongside them". I'm prompted to "Allocate drive space by dragging the divider below:" This is great, except for the part that neither half of the division is labelled. I have no idea which part will be Ubuntu, and which part free space. [18:56] Can anyone enlighten me? [18:56] Where is the xorg.conf located in Ubuntu? [18:57] eer: /etc/X11/ [18:58] Hi - is there an "official" to get a newer nvidia driver than the 313 one? [18:58] what's that gymnast movie where he's super unhappy even though he has everything. Then someone comes along to show him how to be happy within. [18:58] MACscr, yeah, but that is on your client side, right? I am saying that I would move that responsibility to your server that divvies out IP addresses. when it sees your hardware in question, give it 192.168.0.105 [18:58] baggar11, not under /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/ anymore? [18:58] MACscr, but you are right, it should be respecting the static ip address [18:59] eer standard you do not have a xorg.conf, make one if you needit [18:59] eer, did you try `whereis xorg.conf`? [19:00] Basically this problem, I guess: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1814047&page=2&s=349482b0590b47c55369be3416eda0db [19:00] !offtop liquidmetal [19:00] okay :( [19:00] If there isn't an xorg.conf file then where is all the configuration saved? [19:00] liquidmetal: #ubuntu-offtop :) [19:00] hey guys - is this the right place to ask about configuring ssl [19:00] or would that be in apache [19:01] eer: what ubuntu version are you on? [19:01] peaceful warrior, btw [19:01] oc_hawk: i get what your saying, but i find that doing static ip's through the dhcp server to be much riskier and higher chances of problems. Plus i dont get why this 1 server is behaving differently than all the other servers ive setup [19:01] MACscr: when it losses the IP, does another device acquire it [19:01] Ari-Yang, 13.04 [19:01] GreatBacon: nope [19:02] eer: a xorg.conf file isn't needed nowadays... I thinks starting with 12.04 it was taken out [19:02] http://askubuntu.com/questions/172866/installing-12-04-to-dual-boot-partitions-not-labeled [19:04] MACscr, not sure i agree with you about riskier on server side but in general i hear you, it shouldn't be behaving differently; only thing i can think is that your eth1 is not #1 in the pecking order and eth0, eth2, or eth3 are beating it to the punch when it comes time to requesting an ip address [19:04] oc_hawk: but the dhcp address is being assigned to eth1 [19:04] MACscr: the only other time I've seen stuff like this happen is when the interface or a port on the interface goes down. Do you Logs show the interface up when losing the iP? [19:05] MACscr, ah, did not realize that; only believed that system was being assigned a new ip; apologies for my confusion; long ways to get here, but "I don't know. Sorry" [19:06] GreatBacon: what log would show that? What your seeing in the pastebin is exactly what im seeing in the syslog [19:07] phew [19:07] also, notice that its repeating the same message every minute? seems nuts [19:07] basically every minute: Oct 5 19:16:52 ctrl1 dhclient: DHCPREQUEST of 192.168.0.239 on eth1 to 192.168.0.1 port 67 [19:08] if i restart the network service, it will go back to its static ip address [19:08] then maybe an hour later, it will start this again [19:08] MACscr: I have seen that a lot, it happens with an IP loop and during a port flap [19:09] should i try changing out the cable or switch or port something? its an integrated nic [19:09] er, switch port [19:09] MACscr: yes, id start there [19:10] Cisco switch?

[19:15] 2 [19:15] The other hop another switch? [19:15] server, switch, gateway [19:15] Plug directly in [19:15] Are if the issue persists after that [19:16] See* [19:16] Sorry, on tablet [19:16] i will plug it into another switch port. Its a 48 port switch [19:17] Right, sorry, if that doesn't work then go directly over [19:17] even if the port has issues, why in the world would not still respect the static address? [19:19] hey guys, I accidentally bricked my Ubuntu partition [19:19] I don't have a question, just mentioning it [19:19] i am trying from long time, but still getting the same error i.e. you don't have permission to access /ubuntu on this server. i have setup a ubuntu mirror but i can't access it. [19:20] TJ-: hmm got it working, just purged the shit out of all the gir1.2 libs and other offending packages now reinstalled tweak tool, gnome-shell etc and everything seems to be working properly, still have to restart though :) fingers crossed [19:20] lilred: how did you manage that? [19:20] polter: I attempted merging /usr/bin and /bin manually, but something broke along the way [19:21] lilred: yeah, that's risky business, messing around with /bin [19:21] how can I install java so that I can use java application on websites? as it wasnt in the USC I downloaded it by myself but cant figure out how to install it [19:21] "risky" is an understatement [19:21] theSonGoku: what browser are you using?

[19:25] GreatBacon: its integrated, so cant reseat. Im noticing though that all the flapping happened while i was asleep and the system was idel. I wonder if there could somehow be some sort of power saving mode going on [19:25] how do I configure which Framebuffer is used on Ubuntu 13.04? [19:25] copper [19:25] idle [19:25] so as soon as i logged in this morning, it hasnt happened since then [19:25] anyone has experience with merging /usr/bin and /bin? I'd like to know where I should be looking [19:25] MACscr: those copper lines running overhead by florescent lights? [19:26] lilred: why do you need to do that? [19:26] nope [19:26] MACscr: yes, power saving coff be it to [19:26] Dr_Willis I want to have all my applications mounted on my SSD [19:27] MACscr: can you verify the bios isn't shutting down the cards? [19:27] lilred: so put /usr/bin on the ssd? and use a soft link to point it where its supposed to be? you dont want to merge the 2 directories [19:27] ok just doing what lilred posted as second possibility because the first one didnt work..even though I dont realy understand what I am doing^^ [19:27] lilred: why not have everything but /home on ssd? [19:27] Ben64: because it's too small [19:27] bekks: "Setting dd to use a blocksize that the smallest size of the cache sizes of the disks involved" How can I find the optimal cache size of the ssd hd's?

[19:28] ok, second one worked :) [19:29] But if I run 2 GUIs at the same time, won't the programs running in those GUIs interfere with the programs in the other GUI?

Upstart is different than sysv but upstart still calls the sysv-style scripts you place in init.d if you choose to put one there [21:45] hi [21:46] jrib, okay...let me ask different: where is the disadvantage to use rc.local [21:46] jrib, i want to execute a simple .sh script via rc.local. but it seems not to work. and i have no idea why. [21:47] schnitzl: if it's a service, then you can't manipulate it (start, stop, status, restart etc.) if you just put it in rc.local [21:48] schnitzl: but give more details... what script? what does it look like? what does rc.local look like? [21:48] no its no server. its droopy, you know, that very tiny and easy uplaod http server. [21:48] I have an old laptop running ubuntu hooked up like a media pc, its nice to vnc to it to control it. is there a way to start an xsession on the actual computer from a remote ssh shell? its not nice to have to open the lid and login with the actual laptop then start x11vnc (* remember, actual tv output desired, only vnc not enough, seems like I need REAL xsession) [21:48] "its no server" "server" *confused* [21:49] lol sorrry jrib !! :D no service** [21:49] its no service. its just a small sh script. look i will explain the whole story for you. give me a sec. [21:49] schnitzl: still sounds like a service :) [21:49] Hey guys, any idea where I can get help on installing Ubuntu? I'm getting a Syslinux 4.04 message on boot and it hangs up there, and I've tried a few different versions; none have worked. [21:50] hello everyone. My system does not boot to linux after a successful installation. I think it is due to it having been installed configured as GPT when it's in an MBR/BIOS environment [21:50] jrib, i want to start a game server via rc.local. after that a droopy and then folderwatch. it can move files after they are uplaoded into a folder, the idea is, that ppl can push maps to the server without bugging me, and the folderwatcher moves the files to the game folder. [21:50] here is my partition setup: http://hastebin.com/nenajumoto.hs [21:50] Trying to boot off a USB, if that helps [21:51] ThreeFourThree: what [21:51] enthdegree: do you have an error associated with this issue? [21:51] No, the screen just goes black [21:51] enthdegree: Been trying to install Ubuntu off a USB key, but I'm getting a SYSLINUX 4.04 message each time [21:52] jrib, this is my rc local http://pastebin.com/NyqtF4Dj [21:52] getting an idea? [21:52] schnitzl: doesn't sound like something you want running as root. Also, will the gameserver not need a reload/restart after the addition of a map? [21:52] yea. thats what folderwatch can do. [21:53] this is folderwatch http://pastebin.com/nYUWsBG2 [21:53] schnitzl: the "right" way is to set this up in upstart. But if you want to troubleshoot, then it's probably a PATH issues. Check logs and consider redirecting stdout and stderr to some file [21:54] upstart..never worked with that....always sounded weird. [21:54] Hey all.

I have an external monitor and ubuntu 13.04 installed with latest legacy driver for my ati 4570 graphic card. I used VGA connection but sometimes the monitor was flashy and wheezy(only on ubuntu, on windows 7 it was ok). So i switched to HDMI.
