| Yowl | Can anyone name a program or method of hiding and/or locking files and/or partitions? | 00:04 |
| Yowl | And I know about hide with files with .in front of them | 00:05 |
| Jordan_U | Yowl: What is your end goal? | 00:06 |
| guest-af8pWB | So I just had to do a hard restart and now I can't login to my main acount | 00:06 |
| Jordan_U | quadHelix: Why did you have to do a hard restart? | 00:06 |
| guest-af8pWB | Like the login screen opens, I enter my password, click login, it blinks and then goes back to the login | 00:07 |
| guest-af8pWB | The UI became unresponsive... I guess I should have did sudo shutdown -r now | 00:07 |
| guest-af8pWB | now that I think about it | 00:07 |
| Yowl | Jordan_U: Pretty much what I just said, to make files and/or partitions invisible and/or inaccessible unless you unlock them etc. | 00:07 |
| wilee-nilee | !reisub | guest-af8pWB for future notice | 00:08 |
| ubottu | guest-af8pWB for future notice: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 00:08 |
| sealbhach | Something like encrypt a partition? | 00:08 |
| Yowl | Sure | 00:08 |
| guest-af8pWB | ahh thanks | 00:08 |
| guest-af8pWB | any idea why I can't login? | 00:09 |
| wilee-nilee | guest-af8pWB, Hard to say really where to go, if it were me and it was random I would fsck it. | 00:09 |
| GreatBacon | Yowl: The easiest way to do it would be through permissions. You won't be hiding them, but locking/inaccessible for sure. User must change to a group with permissions to access the file. Something like that maybe? | 00:09 |
| Jordan_U | Yowl: If you're trying to prevent people from reading your important files then the only secure option is encryption, that can be done at various levels (individual file based, directory based (sort of, with ecryptfs) and partition based. | 00:09 |
| repudiate | what does encryptfs do? | 00:09 |
| k1l | guest-af8pWB: see syslog and the .xsession-errors in the users home | 00:09 |
| wilee-nilee | guest-af8pWB,You did not change the desktop manager lately did you? | 00:10 |
| guest-af8pWB | No | 00:10 |
| guest-af8pWB | its 13.04 default | 00:10 |
| GreatBacon | repudiate: it's for encryption. did you know that you can issue a trailing '-h' to just about anything to find out what it does in short form, or 'man {programname}' for something more detailed? | 00:11 |
| Jordan_U | repudiate: It takes files in a directory on a normal unencrypted filesystem and encrypts their names and contents, then allows you to (with a password or key) mount a virtual filesystem where the files are accessible unencrypted. | 00:11 |
| guest-af8pWB | cant sudo su from guest account | 00:11 |
| guest-af8pWB | Guess I can ssh from another machine | 00:11 |

| === g_byers is now known as gbyers[Away] | ||
| repudiate | Jordan_U: Thanks. It sounded familiar. | 00:12 |
| Yowl | Jordan_U: Does encryption require time to encrypt and decrypt each time you want to lock and unlock? | 00:12 |
| Jordan_U | repudiate: You're welcome. It's the basis of Ubuntu's encrypted home directory feature. | 00:12 |
| repudiate | What is the basis? | 00:12 |
| Jordan_U | repudiate: Ecryptfs. | 00:12 |
| repudiate | GreatBacon: What does -h have to do with it? | 00:12 |
| repudiate | Jordan_U: I thought that it was third-party software. | 00:13 |
| GreatBacon | repudiate: trailing a -h, for example 'encryptfs -h', gives short help | 00:13 |
| guest-af8pWB | where is the syslog | 00:13 |
| repudiate | ohh thanks GreatBacon | 00:13 |
| GreatBacon | guest: /var | 00:13 |
| GreatBacon | You're welcome repudiate | 00:14 |
| guest-af8pWB | thanks | 00:14 |
| GreatBacon | You're welcome guest | 00:14 |
| Yowl | Jordan_U: Does encryption require time to encrypt and decrypt each time you want to lock and unlock? | 00:14 |
| Jordan_U | Yowl: Please be patient, I'm still typing out my response. | 00:14 |
| Yowl | l | 00:15 |
| Yowl | k | 00:15 |
| Jordan_U | Yowl: Any form of encryption will add a little bit of CPU time for unencryption, but that is usually negligable. With ecryptfs or an encrypted partition you mount the volume once, and then all of the files are accessible as normal files until you unmount again, and in almost any workload you won't notice the additional time/CPU taken to decrypt (it's often decrypted faster than your HD can read the data). | 00:15 |
| Yowl | Jordan_U: You're talking about this,https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ECryptfs right? It says you can't encrypt partitions with it. But I am not sure why you couldn't/why that would be. Also is the space within the encrypt set, or can it expand or contract according to usage? | 00:18 |
| jrib | Yowl: "or" | 00:19 |
| Darkmg | anyone in here help with OOP with UML, or know what channel I should be in? | 00:19 |
| Jarchy | What are the new features of Ubuntu 13.04 | 00:19 |
| guest-af8pWB | So I mv .xsession-errors .xsession-error.old then try to login | 00:19 |
| Yowl | jrib: "?" | 00:19 |
| guest-af8pWB | It didn't generate a new .xsession-error | 00:19 |
| k1l | guest-af8pWB: no | 00:19 |
| jrib | Yowl: Jordan_U said "ecryptfs or an encrypted partition" | 00:20 |
| k1l | guest-af8pWB: just show the .xsession-errors in a pastebin so we can have a look if you are not familiar with such error messages | 00:20 |
| guest-af8pWB | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6207347/ | 00:20 |
| Yowl | Jordan_U: And if I use this, what happens if I replace my install with a new version, or even a new distro, does the encryption and its unlocking mechanisms carry over in home or something? | 00:21 |
| Jordan_U | Yowl: Yes, that is what I was talking about when I mentioned Ecryptfs. I also mentioned using an encrypted partition, which is something different (LUKS). | 00:21 |
| Jarchy | What are the new features of 13.0r | 00:21 |
| Jarchy | 4 | 00:21 |
| k1l | !raring | Jarchy | 00:21 |
| ubottu | Jarchy: Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.04/ - Release notes: http://ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/13.04 | 00:21 |
| Jarchy | What is new? | 00:22 |
| Pici | Check the release notes. | 00:22 |
| k1l | guest-af8pWB: make sure your users home belongs to your user | 00:22 |
| guest-af8pWB | kil: It does | 00:23 |
| guest-af8pWB | ls -l | 00:23 |
| k1l | guest-af8pWB: use "ls -al" and see if there is a .Xauthority file | 00:24 |
| Jordan_U | Yowl: If you use ecryptfs and reinstall Ubuntu I think Ubuntu's installer will be smart enough to notice and configure things properly, with other distros you can certainly do it but it might require manual setup. If you use Ubuntu's encrypted home feature then everything required to decrypt is stored in your home directory. | 00:25 |
| guest-af8pWB | There is in my home dir. "/home/stephen" there are actually a bunch, with various extensions after. | 00:25 |
| guest-af8pWB | Kil: but there is one that is just .Xauthority | 00:25 |
| k1l | guest-af8pWB: does this one belong to stephen:stephen? | 00:26 |
| guest-af8pWB | kil: yes | 00:26 |
| guest-af8pWB | kil: noi | 00:26 |
| guest-af8pWB | kil: sorr | 00:26 |
| guest-af8pWB | it belongs to root | 00:26 |
| guest-af8pWB | the others belong to stephen | 00:26 |
| k1l | that can be a problem. it happens if you fiddle with root rights like misuse of sudo | 00:27 |
| k1l | guest-af8pWB: use chown to make it stephan:stephan again | 00:27 |
| Jordan_U | Yowl: Ecryptfs still keeps individual files as separate files in the underlying filesystem, so for instance if you had two files in an ecryptfs encrypted directory, one a text file and the other a video and you looked at the directory before "unlocking" you would see two files with random filenames, one that was a few Kb and the other that was a few GiB. So while you wouldn't be able to tell exactly what each was, you could easily ... | 00:28 |
| Yowl | Jordan_U encrypted home feature, means it has to be home that is encrypted, and only home can be encrypted by it? | 00:28 |
| Jordan_U | ... guess which was the video and which the text file. | 00:28 |
| guest-af8pWB | Kil: sudo chown .Xauthority stephen:stephen? | 00:28 |
| rrm | doest 12.04 LTS work ok with Lenovo x130e? | 00:29 |
| === bedahr_ is now known as bedahr | ||
| k1l | guest-af8pWB: change tha last both: chown user:group file | 00:29 |
| guest-af8pWB | kil: ok thanks | 00:30 |
| Jordan_U | Yowl: If you want to use the nice simple to setup and use stock feature, yes. You can also manually configure ecryptfs for any individual directory, though if you wanted to encrypt all your files including system files (which honestly does *not* make much sense) you would want to go with an encrypted root partition (using LUKS). | 00:30 |
| guest-af8pWB | kil: its permissions are -rw------- | 00:30 |
| guest-af8pWB | kil: is that ok? | 00:30 |
| k1l | yes, that is fine | 00:30 |
| guest-af8pWB | kil, ok ill try to switch users | 00:30 |
| rrm | is there support for bmc432224 wireless card in LTS? | 00:31 |
| guest-af8pWB | kil, that fixed it. Thanks! Could you explain how the owner would get changed? | 00:31 |
| Yowl | Jordan_U: I don't exactly get what you mean by encrypt all files including file system, I want to encrypt a specific chunk of data, but I do not want to encrypt home. | 00:32 |
| k1l | guest-af8pWB: that is a comon problem if users use "sudo" in wrong places. like running GUI programs with sudo | 00:32 |
| Jordan_U | Yowl: Will all the data you want to encrypt be in the same directory, or a small set of directories? | 00:33 |
| guest-af8pWB | kil so like sudo gedit is bad? | 00:33 |
| k1l | yes | 00:33 |
| Jordan_U | !gksudo | guest-af8pWB | 00:34 |
| ubottu | guest-af8pWB: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 00:34 |
| Yowl | Jordan_U One master directory with sub directories AKA folders within it (and some folders within folders etc) | 00:34 |
| guest-af8pWB | Oh I see.. Ill take a look. | 00:34 |
| guest-af8pWB | Thanks for the advice | 00:34 |
| Jordan_U | Yowl: Then you can manually configure ecryptfs to encrypt just those directories (or make a separate encrypted partition for just those files, but that is much less flexible). | 00:35 |
| === [1]GreatBacon is now known as GreatBacon | ||
| Mixxit | cya guys thanks | 00:36 |
| Yowl | Jordan_U If As I asked earlier, if I do it that way, is the space within flexible? I mean can I add and remove content to the encrypted directories and have the amount of space encrypted shrink and grow accordingly? | 00:37 |
| Jordan_U | Yowl: Yes. | 00:37 |
| Jordan_U | Yowl: If you look more at how ecryptfs works you'll understand why that's true, and I think it's pretty novel / cool :) | 00:38 |
| === Wug is now known as Wug[Hyperspace] | ||
| skinux | Can Ubuntu, GParted, Terminal, and an IRC client survive a few minutes without 'home' directory being mounted? | 00:39 |
| Yowl | Jordan_U: But that website says "eCryptfs is an actual file-system" and if it is a FS, doesn't it have to have proclaimed space like any FS? I mean by merit of being a FS, doesn't it become a quasi partition? As far as I have always heard, you can not have more then one FS on any partition. | 00:39 |
| qq_ | This may be a dumb question but why do the iso releases (http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/) get built from the week of the point release (8/22/13 - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule) and the cloud images (http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/precise/release/) get built from the latest week (10/3/13) ?

| wilee-nilee | skinux, whay are you logged in as root? | 00:49 |
| wilee-nilee | why* | 00:49 |
| zykotick9 | skinux: ubuntu doesn't use root account, but instead sudo. see "/msg ubottu sudo" and "/msg ubottu notroot" for more details. | 00:49 |
| skinux | I'm -not- logged in as root, that is why it confuses me. I thought administrator was root or a user in root group. | 00:49 |
| wilee-nilee | skinux, Ah I miss read that the main install account is a admin, you just need a password to execute it | 00:50 |
| zykotick9 | skinux: in ubuntu it means, in "sudo" group. | 00:50 |
| k1l | skinux: ubuntu disables the root login. so a administrator is a user who can use sudo | 00:50 |

| arowana | ok, can't get out of windows.... | 01:57 |
| comodo_dragon | i dont like windows because when im reading and writing, i have to alt tab all the time | 01:57 |
| Sinc_ | Our smartcards don't work properly in most Linux distros | 01:57 |
| comodo_dragon | in linux ican just point and scroll | 01:57 |
| Sinc_ | comodo_dragon, yeah, workspaces are nice | 01:57 |
| arowana | hmm | 01:58 |
| Jarchy | Yah that's lame OpenOffice and gimp work for replacements | 01:58 |
| Sinc_ | Heh, well | 01:58 |
| Sinc_ | Not really | 01:58 |
| arowana | We are using Libre... | 01:58 |
| Sinc_ | OpenOffice is missing quite a few things I want | 01:58 |
| arowana | its improving | 01:58 |
| Sinc_ | and GIMP just really isn't a proper Photoshop replacement yet | 01:58 |
| comodo_dragon | libreword is ok, compared to when it was 1-2 years ago. it had awful gui.. | 01:58 |
| Sinc_ | They're good for most stuff I do, but occasionally | 01:58 |
| Sinc_ | I need Photoshop | 01:58 |
| arowana | Doesnt Ubuntu have n e good Photoshop alternative?? | 01:59 |
| Sinc_ | GIMP + Inkscape is really the closest there is | 01:59 |
| Sinc_ | And neither of those has developed to the point I'd like yet | 01:59 |
| Jarchy | Yah I have never Got very far in photoshop I even used gimp in windows | 02:00 |
| arowana | n e one using sublime text?? | 02:00 |
| Sinc_ | I like sublime text | 02:00 |
| Sinc_ | Bit spendy though | 02:00 |
| arowana | hmm | 02:00 |
| Jarchy | I it is paid app | 02:00 |

| pec_ar | hi. I shooted down my pc and i disconected everything to change it to another place. When i conected everything again and power it on, the monitor stay in stand by. Never change this state. What should i do? I tried with other monitor and the result is the same thing. The pc is workig because i can see the pages it serves. | 02:58 |
| cipherboy | Question for all... Recently got a new computer, came with Windows 8, figured I would set it up like my older (pre-UEFI) computers and dual boot it. Long story short, took a bit of work, but I got it. However, whenever I boot into windows 8, I always have to restore the bootloader because it seems to boot directly to Windows 8 without the GRUB menu (which I have set to always display), hence I am unable to switch back to Ubuntu. A | 02:58 |
| zexcriz | OerHeks, in the process i have messed up apache config, can i reinstall with again with default values of directory permissions etc ? | 02:59 |
| pec_ar | hi the pc is working but my monitor still is in standby. what can i do? | 03:00 |
| cipherboy | pec_ar: obvious question perhaps, but have you checked your display cables to verify they are plugged in? | 03:01 |
| === Flaur is now known as Jason_Hudson | ||
| pec_ar | cipherboy yes everithing is well connected. | 03:04 |
| pec_ar | cipherboy everything is connected and the pc is working but it's blind. | 03:06 |
| Dr_Willis | pec_ar: so the bios and post screens worked? | 03:06 |
| pec_ar | cipherboy no. The monitor is in stand by everytime. | 03:07 |
| trewq_ | I have installed 12.04LTS. Is there a way to install mysql 5.6? The standard apt-get install gives me mysql version 5.5.32 | 03:08 |
| cipherboy | If by that you mean to respond to Dr_Willis's comment regarding whether or not it worked in bios/etc, when you tried with the other monitor, did you use the same cable? I had a VGA cable go bad on me once, only worked if it was in a certain position, which moving might have effected. | 03:09 |
| pec_ar | cipherboy and the pc is working. i can see the http pages it serves by the net. It works with ubuntu 12.04 | 03:09 |
| Dr_Willis | cipherboy: yep. Bad cables. bad pins, also had monitors just die and stay in sort of an off mode. | 03:10 |
| Dr_Willis | pec_ar: so ssh in , tell the pc to rebooot. see if you see the bios/post screens. | 03:11 |
| pec_ar | cipherboy i tried with other monitor but it stays in standby mode too. I can't acces by ftp or ssh. Why? I don't know | 03:12 |

| bambanx | guys i downloaded the last ubuntu and restart my windows but it dont have the option for double boot :( i want windows and ubuntu | 03:17 |
| Paulus68_1 | bambanx: which windows version are you using? | 03:17 |
| bambanx | 7 | 03:18 |
| Dr_Willis | bambanx: so you Installed ubuntu? (how) and reboot. and do not get a grub menu. but boot straight to windows? | 03:18 |
| bambanx | no | 03:18 |
| bambanx | i dont intalled | 03:18 |
| bambanx | when i boot my cd ubuntu | 03:18 |
| ArcticVanguard | it's not showing you an option to install along side windows? | 03:18 |
| ArcticVanguard | what options does it show you? | 03:18 |
| bambanx | it dont have the option for install and keep the windows | 03:18 |
| Dr_Willis | bambanx: so you cant get the pc to boot the cd? how did you burn the cd/dvd? | 03:18 |
| bambanx | dvd | 03:19 |
| Paulus68_1 | bambanx: try this tutorial http://askubuntu.com/questions/336597/how-to-dual-boot-windows-7-x64-and-ubuntu-13-04-x64-as-bios-not-efi | 03:19 |
| Dr_Willis | we are having to guess a bit way to much here. :) be more verbose in what you are doing. | 03:19 |
| dToast | so if im on windows currenty, (7), and im installing and booting off of ubuntu LTS, my mac adress stays same? | 03:19 |
| bambanx | the first option is delete all my windows and it option have 2 checkbox , one about encript installation and other about lvm or some.. | 03:19 |
| qin | dToast: Yup | 03:19 |
| dToast | k good | 03:19 |
| Dr_Willis | dToast: with my router. it rembers mac-> ip addresses. so this pc always gets the same IP reguardless of what os i boot on it. | 03:19 |
| ArcticVanguard | hmm, how much free space is on your drive? | 03:20 |
| dToast | just making sure | 03:20 |
| Dr_Willis | dToast: i imagine they COULD change. but many routers have specific 'rember/assign mac->ip' settings also | 03:20 |
| dToast | im on an airport extreme so it should remember it | 03:20 |
| Dr_Willis | i also tend to make the routers dhcp assign ips from like 192.168.11.100+ then i can set up machines on the lan with static ips. if i use below that range | 03:20 |
| Paulus68_1 | bambanx: you can't burn the ubuntu iso to dvd since it won't work the best thing you can do is to use an usb drive in order to boot into ubuntu setup http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows | 03:21 |

| Paulus68_1 | bambanx--: you need to create a new partition on your windows 7 drive in order to be able to install ubuntu along side win 7 | 03:55 |
| Ben64 | bambanx--: try "something else" in the installer, you should be able to resize windows 7 and install on a new partition | 03:55 |
| bambanx-- | If i do that can i keep my windows ? | 03:56 |
| bambanx-- | i mean double boot? | 03:56 |
| Ben64 | yes, just don't delete any partition | 03:56 |

| Paulus68_1 | Ben64: can you do this also directly with gparted? | 03:59 |
| Ben64 | bambanx--: logical if you plan on having more than 2 more partitions on that drive | 03:59 |
| Ben64 | Paulus68_1: do what exactly | 04:00 |

| bambanx-- | what u mean cfhowlett | 04:08 |
| Dr_Willis | you did try the special fn/whatever keys to toggle wifi on/off? | 04:08 |
| pegamoose | idk got the unit with out a os | 04:08 |
| cfhowlett | bambanx--, you're going to need to fix that windows installation if you want it to work. better to do so prior to installing ubuntu. | 04:09 |
| bambanx-- | what u mean with fix? | 04:09 |
| cfhowlett | pegamoose, look on your keyboard for the hardware switch | 04:09 |
| pegamoose | too late unit had no operating system | 04:09 |
| cfhowlett | bambanx--, I mean get the windows disk, boot and run "windows repair" | 04:09 |
| pegamoose | found the hard ware switch but it is disabled | 04:10 |
| Paulus68_1 | cfhowlett: he just wants to dual boot and in order to do so with a win7 he needs to resize the partition first | 04:10 |
| Paulus68_1 | cfhowlett: no repairs needed at this point in my opinion | 04:10 |
| pegamoose | no ti will be a ubuntu only | 04:10 |

| cfhowlett | pegamoose, so your - keyboard switch didn't work. try ctrl - wifi switch or alt-wifi switch. After 4 years with my laptop, I JUST discovered that I didn't need to reboot to windows to enable. I just had to add ALT to F2 and that fixed it! | 04:12 |

| Sturmir | I've a rather odd issue. I'm trying to install Ubuntu onto an IBM R51 Thinkpad, and it states that the CPU (i1686) isn't supported, and i've double checked to make sure I grabbed the right Iso to no avail. Initial research into the subject doesn't seem to say much. | 04:46 |
| Sturmir | PAE isn't supported by my CPU (as one possible reason why) and wondering if there is a work around | 04:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Sturmir: use an older ubuntu, there were some ubuntu spinoffs i recall that came with non-pae kernels. but i dont recall their names. | 04:47 |
| Dr_Willis | or use a differnt distro. ;( | 04:48 |
| Sturmir | Darn, I love Ubuntu too much though :( | 04:48 |
| Dr_Willis | How old is this machine? | 04:48 |
| Sturmir | 2004? | 04:48 |
| mdkwlan | An older version might have support for it. | 04:48 |
| Sturmir | at least, that's the last time the bios was flashed. | 04:48 |
| Sturmir | I tried 10.10 | 04:48 |
| Sturmir | and newer | 04:48 |
| mdkwlan | Oh boy. | 04:48 |
| kuugo | still the same? | 04:48 |
| Dr_Willis | 9 yrs old. | 04:48 |
| Sturmir | Ye. | 04:48 |
| cfhowlett | Sturmir, xubuntu and lubuntu are optimized for older/low spec machines | 04:49 |
| mdkwlan | There might be a spin of ubuntu that supports it still. | 04:49 |
| Dr_Willis | so you boot the install cd and it says you need pae? | 04:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive seen some guides/info on getting a non-pae kernel repo. but never needed them ;) | 04:49 |
| comodo_dragon | i want to download PDFs of how to use ubuntu | 04:50 |
| Sturmir | No, I boot the USB (Tried the CD first, still same result) and it simply states that the kernel is x86_64 and the cpu detected is i1686. | 04:50 |
| comodo_dragon | and administer it | 04:50 |

| comodo_dragon | thans cfhowlett | 04:51 |
| mdkwlan | Dr_Willis, how much do you know about grub 2.xx? | 04:51 |
| Dr_Willis | mdkwlan: i use it.. ive read the docs and guides. ;) | 04:51 |
| mdkwlan | Sweet. You're the perfect person then. | 04:52 |
| Dr_Willis | your question has yet to be actually asked. ;P | 04:52 |
| mdkwlan | Alright how would I go about editing the grub.cfg to make it so that the menu list will not show unless you hold right shift like in ubuntu | 04:52 |
| mdkwlan | Yea typing and talking not a strong suit of mine lol. | 04:52 |
| TiZ | The clickpad on my Lenovo Y480, at least for as long as it will actually still be mine, is impossible to click and drag on. This is only one annoyance that will lead to me eventually selling it (since the retailer doesn't seem interested in taking a return). I need the ability to click and drag on this thing. I enabled the dead zone through AreaBottomEdge, so now I have a discrete left/middle/right click area, but now when I click and drag, | 04:52 |
| TiZ | the finger I try to drag with gets ignored. What do I do about this? | 04:52 |
| Dr_Willis | mdkwlan: the grub2 docs mention it.. for ubuntu its a setting in /etc/default/grub not sure how that applies to other disrtos | 04:53 |
| zykotick9 | mdkwlan: /etc/default/grub set time to 0 i believe | 04:53 |
| Dr_Willis | You are using ubuntu? | 04:53 |
| mdkwlan | Yea as a host | 04:53 |
| kuugo | i got buffer I/O swap with 3.8 kernel | 04:53 |
| kuugo | buffer I/O error | 04:53 |
| mdkwlan | I'm thinking more so about Arch but grub still pertains to ubuntu so yeah.... Don't yell at me lol. | 04:53 |
| mdkwlan | I'd ask the Arch guys but Arch is very RTFM. Ubuntu guys are a lot more friendly. :) | 04:55 |
| Dr_Willis | I imagine the grub wiki has info on the topic also. | 04:55 |
| Dr_Willis | they spend most of their time working on their wiki. :) | 04:55 |
| mdkwlan | Very true | 04:55 |
| Dr_Willis | of course it could be the grub Config system on ubuntu is radically differnt also. | 04:55 |
| Dr_Willis | arch may not even have a /etc/default/grub | 04:55 |
| mdkwlan | it does | 04:56 |
| mdkwlan | I have an arch box pulled up | 04:56 |
| kuugo | you need to add os-prober package to detect other OS in Arch | 04:56 |
| mdkwlan | It's only a single boot in a VM | 04:57 |
| kuugo | lol at first only arch showing up when i installed it | 04:57 |
| mdkwlan | Yeah. | 04:57 |
| kuugo | and then got kernel panic in 3.10 Arch lol | 04:57 |
| mdkwlan | Lovely. | 04:57 |
| Dr_Willis | tempted to try arch on my raspberry pi.. but it tool the pi like 4 hrs to compile weechat. ;) | 04:58 |
| mdkwlan | Makes me wonder. Is ubuntu going to move to systemd? | 04:58 |
| mdkwlan | I haven't kept up with 13.10 so I'm not sure if it's there already | 04:58 |
| Dr_Willis | ive seen some 'systemd' terms in 13.10 - but not sure if its in there or not. :) since i dont know about systemd | 04:58 |
| mdkwlan | It's easy :) | 04:58 |
| Dr_Willis | mount command on 13.10 here seems to so a 'systemd on /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd .......' | 04:59 |
| Dr_Willis | no idea wht that means | 04:59 |
| Dr_Willis | ;) | 04:59 |
| Dr_Willis | I imagine the ubuntu focus of the devs and manpower is going to be on the ubuntu-touch stuff for the next few releases.. so i dont think they will be doing radical changes that will suck manpower away from that project | 05:00 |
| mdkwlan | Yea true | 05:00 |
| kuugo | Yea | 05:00 |
| mdkwlan | The ubuntu phone will be interesting | 05:00 |

| Dr_Willis | Ownix: theres no firewall rules by default. | 05:01 |
| wilee-nilee | Dr_Willis, I have a questiot on wi-fi direct I have my nexus 7 connected to my new samsung smart tv, what can I do now, lol | 05:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Ownix: are you on a local network> or over the internet? | 05:01 |
| Dr_Willis | wilee-nilee: i think you can send videos to it. but ive never really used wifi direct. I got a lan. ;) | 05:02 |
| Ownix | Dr_Willis: same network and same subnet | 05:02 |
| mdkwlan | the vnc port forwarded? | 05:02 |
| Dr_Willis | wilee-nilee: use a upnp program like allshare, or others to send a video to the tv. | 05:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Ownix: you got windows firewall on or off>? turn it off as a test. | 05:02 |
| Ownix | mdkwlan: is that needed when they are on the same network | 05:02 |
| mdkwlan | MHm | 05:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Ownix: and you DID start the vncserver on the linux box? | 05:02 |
| mdkwlan | pidof vnc and tab to auto fill | 05:03 |
| wilee-nilee | Dr_Willis, I have a usb to hdmi converter with the laptop and was able to get minidlna to work sort of, seems like video will work with the nexus, just not sure where to look on the device, I will ask on #android | 05:03 |
| Dr_Willis | wilee-nilee: i an get on my phone and have a 'play this video on device ..... and it shows the tv and other devices here | 05:03 |
| Ownix | Dr_Willis: I think its started: http://pastie.org/private/a57q6rpu9gdusbzb4pc9g | 05:03 |
| Ownix | Im not sure though | 05:03 |
| Dr_Willis | Ownix: look in your .vnc/* log files | 05:04 |

| wilee-nilee | Dr_Willis, thanks that's some info to work on. | 05:06 |
| Dr_Willis | UpnpPlay is what i use a lot on my android wilee-nilee | 05:06 |
| mdkwlan | Well I googled it and this was the solution | 05:06 |
| mdkwlan | I've just realised the simple fix: | 05:06 |
| mdkwlan | When I ran the VNC Viewer on Windows, and specified the RPi IP address, I didn't realise you have to put the session ID on the end (either the :1 or the :2). | 05:06 |
| mdkwlan | Simple really. | 05:06 |
| mdkwlan | Copy pasta | 05:07 |
| Dr_Willis | Ownix: no idea. You cou.d ust edit your startcvnc stuff and comment those commands out.. and You DO realise you have a 2nd vnc session going? note the port is 5902 - that tells me you got another vnc session running | 05:07 |
| Dr_Willis | 5902 -> :2 | 05:07 |
| mdkwlan | ^ | 05:07 |
| Dr_Willis | if you had 5 sessions going it would be 5905 | 05:07 |
| Dr_Willis | its eays to accidently start several vnc sessions by mistake ;) | 05:08 |
| Dr_Willis | vncserver --kill :1 (i think is the command) | 05:08 |
| Dr_Willis | to kill one | 05:08 |
| mdkwlan | or find the pid of it and kill it | 05:08 |
| * Dr_Willis is on a Raspbery Pi right now. ;) | 05:09 | |
| mdkwlan | Oh god. He has three running if that's right | 05:09 |
| mdkwlan | 5900 is the default | 05:09 |
| Dr_Willis | actually i THINK 5900 is reserved if you have the local desktop shared | 05:09 |
| Dr_Willis | ps ax | grep vnc will show you perhaps | 05:10 |
| mdkwlan | Oh? | 05:10 |
| Ownix | Dr_Willis: Im pretty sure 5902 is default because my fresh windows tightvncviewer install shows 5902 as default. also I did chmod -x .vnc/xstartup and now VNC viewer connects but I get this: http://i.imgur.com/tLjNb4b.png | 05:10 |
| Dr_Willis | i always setup a minimal window manager like jwm for my vnc sessions, jwm and a terminal window - is about all i start | 05:11 |
| mdkwlan | That's an interesting way of doing it | 05:12 |
| Dr_Willis | vnc can be way to laggy with much more :) | 05:12 |
| mdkwlan | Yep | 05:12 |
| comodo_dragon | VPN | 05:13 |
| Dr_Willis | vncserver here just stared on 5901 | 05:13 |
| Dr_Willis | started | 05:13 |
| Ownix | JWM seems incredibly minimal I like it | 05:13 |
| Ownix | I wonder how hard it would be to remove Cinnimon and install JWM | 05:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Ownix: why bother removeing.. | 05:14 |
| Dr_Willis | install jwm and select it at the login screen | 05:14 |
| Dr_Willis | jwm is lacking in some areas that people may want. :) like a dynamic menu generated on the fly | 05:15 |
| kingbeowolf | when does 13.10 come out? | 05:15 |
| Dr_Willis | and even the most basic of setting front ends | 05:15 |
| kuugo | first heard about jwm :D | 05:15 |

| kingbeowolf | Dr_Willis: that makes so much more sense now | 05:17 |

| kuugo | subtle still 10 in ubuntu repos | 05:17 |
| kingbeowolf | whats the command to run a dist upgrade ? is it sudo upgrade-manager -d ? | 05:17 |
| Dr_Willis | xmetal: :) i bet the stuff in gnome 3.10 will put a hurt on cinniamon and other gnome-2ish de's | 05:17 |
| mdkwlan | sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 05:17 |
| Dr_Willis | kingbeowolf: a dist-upgrade is differnt from a 'upgrade to the next release' | 05:18 |

| mdkwlan | Dr_Willis, aka KDE cough | 05:20 |
| blue_ | mdkwlan: how it depends | 05:20 |
| cfhowlett | blue_, most compromises are located between the keyboard and the display. | 05:20 |
| Dr_Willis | kingbeowolf: i dont know what you are doing. | 05:21 |
| mdkwlan | Depends more so on how big of a tin hat do you want to wear? | 05:21 |
| kingbeowolf | Dr_Willis: just want try 13.10 | 05:21 |
| xmetal | yes PEBKAC | 05:21 |
| Dr_Willis | kingbeowolf: 'try' it - get a live cd. | 05:21 |
| * xmetal whistles innocently | 05:21 | |
| Dr_Willis | kingbeowolf: upgrade to it.. thats a differnt story. ;) | 05:21 |
| Dr_Willis | !upgrade | 05:21 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 05:21 |

| xmetal | i was almost going to try Ubuntu over (a clean install) of Mint 14 but decided against it atm ... esp when i saw i got Ubuntu 12.04 by mistake (meant to get 13.04) | 05:22 |
| xmetal | silly me | 05:22 |
| blue_ | i want steps that matter mdkwlan | 05:23 |
| cfhowlett | xmetal, Long Term Support is rarely a mistake IMO | 05:23 |
| xmetal | may try Ubuntu against with 14.04 (next LTS release if i am not mistaken) | 05:23 |

| mdkwlan | blue_ if you want to put on a tin hat this would be a good start | 05:23 |

| mdkwlan | Ok get a VPS then use noscript that will work with the site so that you can login | 05:23 |
| kingbeowolf | in the "Software & Updates" app in the Settings panel. In the "Updates" tab it says Pre-released updates (raring-proposed) what is that? | 05:23 |

| mdkwlan | Oh I've gotten that before | 05:28 |
| blue_ | RC4, 128 bit keys' mdkwlan | 05:28 |
| Ownix | mdkwlan: Is there something in JWM or TightVNCServer I need to change? | 05:28 |
| kieppie1 | `sudo pm-hibernate` works, but it's not shoing up in the power options/menu | 05:28 |
| mdkwlan | Yea that's a good. I'd moreso assume its vnc | 05:29 |
| mdkwlan | I don't use Windows anymore so I'm not sure | 05:29 |
| mdkwlan | rdesktop is what I use now. | 05:29 |
| kieppie1 | mdkwlan: the CLI works - it's the binding that seems problematic | 05:29 |
| Ownix | whats that? | 05:29 |
| mdkwlan | Oh wow. That's really weird kieppie1 | 05:30 |
| mdkwlan | rdesktop is remotedesktop | 05:30 |
| Ownix | what do I use for a client? | 05:30 |
| mdkwlan | It's for linux only I think | 05:30 |
| Ownix | so rdesktop is a remote desktop client for linux machines to connect to windows machines? | 05:31 |
| kieppie1 | rebooting - brb | 05:31 |
| mdkwlan | or to others yea | 05:31 |
| Ownix | Or rdesktop is a server that windows remote desktop can connect to? | 05:31 |
| mdkwlan | linux to windows or linux to linux | 05:31 |
| Ownix | what about windows to linux? | 05:31 |
| mdkwlan | It will use vnc or rdp | 05:31 |
| mdkwlan | Nope because there isnt a windows version | 05:32 |
| mdkwlan | I want to say that's a framebuffer problem | 05:32 |

| blue_ | install xrdp in linux, then access from windows using rdp | 05:33 |
| mdkwlan | Set the UpdateMethod parameter (in VNC Server options, Expert tab) from 2, to 1. If this doesn't work, try setting it to 0. | 05:33 |
| mdkwlan | for vnc | 05:33 |
| mdkwlan | if its a framebuffer problem that will fix it | 05:33 |
| Ownix | xrdp is neat. Same problem though, but for some reason it asked me for a login and a session, and then it started cinnimon | 05:34 |
| mdkwlan | That's cool that it worked kinda | 05:34 |
| mdkwlan | I assume cinnimon is your default DE? | 05:34 |
| mdkwlan | Ownix, is your linux box using proprietary graphics drivers by chance? | 05:35 |
| Ownix | I think so. It has an old DVI graphics card in the AGP port | 05:35 |

| Dr_Willis | You dont want to mix up differnt disrtos that way | 06:25 |
| Dr_Willis | and you can make a bootable install USB from the iso file if you wanted to install 13.10 | 06:25 |
| Dr_Willis | or just use the bootable usb as a test to see if sound works | 06:26 |
| gmilf | how would the bootup menu read the iso file correctly? | 06:26 |
| Dr_Willis | it dosent by default. ;) | 06:26 |
| Dr_Willis | You can edit your grub2 configs to boot an ISO file. | 06:26 |
| gmilf | anything complicated? | 06:26 |
| Dr_Willis | tons of grub2 docs on doing that. easier to make a live usb | 06:26 |
| gmilf | ok, well I might try to use linuxmint livecd just because i have that on hand. if that fails that i might wait until tomorrow so I can burn a diff livecd to dvd. Do you know if ubuntu is light enough to use just a basic cd? | 06:27 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu dosnt fit on a cd. | 06:27 |

| Venoryk | Hey guys.. having a bit of an issue getting a bash script to behave as desired. Anybody able to assist? | 06:40 |
| Dr_Willis | give us details and see who knows wht. | 06:41 |
| Venoryk | I'm attempting to make a Post-Install script for Ubuntu 13.04. Part of what I want the script to do is install aria2c and apt-fast then create ~/.bash_aliases linking wget=aria2c apt-get=apt-fast. | 06:42 |
| jony_easyrider | buu, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6208136/ | 06:42 |
| === qos|away is now known as qos | ||
| Venoryk | I'm wanting it to check if tehre is already ~/.bash_aliases and if so are those aliases listed. If not, add the missing aliases | 06:43 |
| Venoryk | However, when I run grep -q "alias wget='aria2c'" 'apt-get='apt-fast'" else printf ..... if any of the aliases are listed it just stops there and echos aliases in place even if all of them are not listed | 06:44 |
| buu | Venoryk: use perl for god's sake | 06:45 |
| Dr_Willis | or just have your .bash_aliases set some variable, and let your script check that if that has been set or not. | 06:45 |
| buu | jony_easyrider: your credentials in the file are incorrect | 06:45 |
| Venoryk | buu, I have no experience with perl and limited experience running linux trying to learn how to make the bash script do what I want then move onto the more complex stuff lol | 06:46 |

| karthus | anyone have experience with this? | 06:47 |
| jony_easyrider | buu, in the cifscredentials file I have two lines: username=jony password=sharespassword | 06:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Venoryk: why is this even an issue? normally that alias file gets 'sourced' once when the user logs in. and thats it. not much reason to be checking, if you think they are getting skipped , source it again | 06:48 |
| buu | jony_easyrider: Well, they are't working | 06:48 |
| buu | jony_easyrider: try this: smbclient -L //192.168.10.8 | 06:49 |
| Venoryk | The way that I have it set up right now is if file exists then check for these aliases if all present echo aliases in place else add missing aliases otherwise create file and add aliases then source the file and continue running the rest of the install script to install my desired applications | 06:49 |
| karthus | I tried switching my mirrors around in hopes of getting a more up to date one but it did not seem to help | 06:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Venoryk: so you are generating your own custome .bash_alias file and want to not overrite any alias's athat exist in the file to begin with. | 06:49 |
| makara | when I click a link in Thunderbird, it freezes up and takes about 20secs to load in Firefox before resuming. Why? | 06:50 |
| Dr_Willis | karthus: all mirrors should have the same version. fix-released - doswent mean the fix has been pushed to the repos - but should be 'soon' ;) | 06:50 |
| pleanbean | I'm an absolute noob with Unix, can someone walk me through repartitioning my hard drive in Terminal? | 06:51 |
| jony_easyrider | buu, Called name not present | 06:51 |
| Venoryk | Dr_Willis: not really to overwrite, but add to the end if the bash_alias file exists already. So that in the future I can type wget and it will run arias2c instead and also run those aliases throughout the entirety of my install script | 06:51 |
| Dr_Willis | pleanbean: id have to suggest checking out some fdisk or cfdisk tutorials on youtube, or practice in virtualbox first. | 06:51 |
| buu | jony_easyrider: er | 06:51 |
| Dr_Willis | pleanbean: fdisk is fairly straight forward. as is cfdisk. but it takes some learning of how their interface works. | 06:52 |
| jony_easyrider | buu, but if I logon with a file manager, it work with that user and its password | 06:52 |
| pleanbean | Dr_Willis, thanks for the suggestion, and I will, but first I want to set up my system first before I delve into it | 06:52 |
| Dr_Willis | pleanbean: easier would be to use gparted from a live cd | 06:52 |
| buu | jony_easyrider: From the same machine? | 06:52 |
| pleanbean | Dr_Willis, I'm trying to use gparted but I'm lost with handling LVM | 06:52 |
| Dr_Willis | the installer has a gui to partion the disks also | 06:52 |
| Venoryk | Dr_Willis, exactly.. I don't want to wipe out the file if it already exists only modify it so that if I run this install script on a system that already has a .bash_aliases file in place it will just be amended. | 06:52 |
| Dr_Willis | pleanbean: and why do you think cli tools wont have the same issue? | 06:53 |
| jony_easyrider | buu, look here, pasted from Krusader: smb://jony@192.168.10.8/Documentation_Server | 06:53 |

| owenn | Hello all. Just deleted my windows partition from my dual/now single boot. But of course windows wasnt going to make it easy, it took the master boot with it. Now I am using a Linux mint live DVD. How do I install grub to the MBR from this live DVD? I dont want to bork this up even more than I already have done. | 08:41 |
| cfhowlett | !mint|owenn, | 08:41 |
| ubottu | owenn,: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 08:41 |

| === PriceChild is now known as Pricey | ||
| cfhowlett | owenn, "Now I'm using Linux Mint live DVD" ... | 08:42 |
| owenn | Id use an ubuntu if I had one lying around. Surely I can use this live dvd to get grub working so I can get back to my UBUNTU!!! | 08:42 |
| k1l | owenn: use boot-repair. but i dont know if mint is shipping that | 08:44 |
| Ben64 | deleting windows doesn't mess up ubuntu, unless you were using wubi | 08:44 |
| k1l | Ben64: ah yes, that is a good point. | 08:44 |
| owenn | k1l> Thanks. | 08:45 |
| * cfhowlett ... so wubi, we meet again ... | 08:45 | |
| owenn | No not using wubi | 08:45 |
| owenn | I deleted the windows partition and its hidden package that contains the reinstalls. I musted have taken out the MBR too.. | 08:46 |
| Ben64 | that doesn't happen | 08:46 |
| cfhowlett | owenn, did you use the windows installer? | 08:47 |
| delinquentme | can someone give me their output for echo JAVA_HOME | 08:47 |
| ikonia | delinquentme: why ? | 08:47 |
| delinquentme | can someone give me their output for echo $JAVA_HOME **** | 08:47 |

| owenn | Isnt there a grub boot cd or DVD, that I could use to boot up my Ubuntu and then do the repair from there? | 08:50 |

| k1l | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair owenn | 08:52 |
| Ben64 | none of that messes with grub | 08:53 |
| owenn | the partition that my Ubuntu resides on is there | 08:53 |
| cfhowlett | owenn, yes, but the MBR doesn't. | 08:54 |
| owenn | exactly | 08:54 |
| owenn | so I have to tell the MBR to boot my Ubuntu | 08:54 |
| Ben64 | but it already was booting ubuntu before.... | 08:55 |
| owenn | It was dual boot before. | 08:55 |
| Ben64 | ok? | 08:55 |
| cfhowlett | owenn, well, you could try booting the ubuntu mbr and restoring grub from there. but since you don't have the ubuntu ISO .... | 08:55 |
| Ben64 | grub doesn't care if you get rid of a partition | 08:55 |
| Ben64 | unless that partition contains grub, which the windows partition wouldn't | 08:55 |
| owenn | I have an Ubuntu minimal install, net installer. Would that do? | 08:56 |
| cfhowlett | !grub|owenn, try. I don't know if grub is on the mini iso | 08:56 |
| ubottu | owenn, try. I don't know if grub is on the mini iso: 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 | 08:56 |
| Ben64 | its still probably not grub, pastebin some stuff.... "sudo parted -l" "sudo dd if=/dev/sda | file" | 08:56 |

| Rory | nightdrever: Can you please put the command you run to produce the error, along with the full error output, onto http://paste.ubuntu.com and then put the resulting URL in channel | 09:59 |
| Rory | sharpshooter: you don't want "sudo" | 10:00 |
| nightdrever | Rory Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libX11-6 is the only error i get | 10:00 |
| nightdrever | so i cant install the package | 10:01 |
| Ben64 | then you probably shouldn't install it | 10:01 |
| Rory | nightdrever: I won't ask again: Can you please *put the command you run to produce the error* , along with *the full error output*, onto http://paste.ubuntu.com and then put the resulting URL in channel | 10:01 |
| Rory | nightdrever: Also what Ubuntu version are you using? | 10:01 |
| Rory | nightdrever: I'm asking because running "apt-get -f install" didn't work for you and I'm trying to work out why | 10:02 |
| calimero_82 | hey guys | 10:02 |
| Rory | hello calimero_82 | 10:02 |
| nightdrever | http://pastebin.com/XpsDdhwU | 10:03 |
| Rory | nightdrever: Can you please run the command: sudo dpkg -i name_of_file.deb | 10:03 |
| Rory | nightdrever: Actually wait What are you trying to install? | 10:03 |
| ActionParsnip | nightdrever: also add the output of: cat /etc/issue | 10:03 |
| Rory | nightdrever: scidb? | 10:03 |
| Rory | !info scidb | 10:03 |
| ubottu | Package scidb does not exist in raring | 10:03 |
| k1l | nightdrever: what file is that exact? and why dont you use the ubuntu repos? | 10:04 |
| calimero_82 | boys at the start of ubuntu came out a message before it came out of the screen identification, what is? | 10:04 |
| nightdrever | its a chess database program | 10:04 |
| nightdrever | and its not in the repos | 10:04 |
| gulag2013 | Rory, what does the -f switch do before install? | 10:04 |
| gordonjcp | zwamkat: so, add both shares to fstab... | 10:04 |
| Rory | k1l: It's not in the repos but they have very clear and concise installatio instructions on their website | 10:04 |
| calimero_82 | i've ubuntu 12.04 | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip | gulag2013: fix | 10:04 |
| Rory | gulag2013: This will automatically install missing dependencies - installing a package manually doesn't resolve dependencies, that's what apt-get is for | 10:04 |
| gulag2013 | Great, thank you | 10:05 |
| ActionParsnip | gulag2013: man apt-get | 10:05 |
| Rory | calimero_82: Is English your native language? | 10:05 |
| sharpshooter | Rory, but with out sudo there is nothing happening after I type the password | 10:05 |
| calimero_82 | no italian | 10:05 |
| Rory | sharpshooter: That means it worked | 10:05 |
| sharpshooter | Rory, no change in $SHELL | 10:05 |
| gulag2013 | Yes, I did man install | 10:05 |
| Rory | sharpshooter: Oh | 10:05 |
| Rory | nightdrever: The instructions are here http://scidb.sourceforge.net/download.html | 10:05 |
| calimero_82 | Rory: i'ven't explain good? | 10:05 |
| Rory | calimero_82: If you're getting an error, you should let us know what message you are seeing | 10:06 |
| Rory | calimero_82: You should also let us know what Ubuntu version you're using | 10:06 |
| sharpshooter | Rory, after the chsh -s to bash in my username the $SHELL still is same | 10:07 |
| sharpshooter | what I need to do | 10:07 |
| nightdrever | thanks ROry for some reason it installed with sudo dpkg -i scidb-beta_1.0-r960_amd64.deb | 10:07 |
| sharpshooter | Rory, Do I want to restart the system ? | 10:07 |
| calimero_82 | Rory: 12.04 | 10:07 |
| ActionParsnip | sharpshooter: sudo doesnt give feedback as you type, just type your pass as if it were and hit ENTER | 10:07 |
| nightdrever | but didnt work by double clicking deb file | 10:07 |
| kali_eskrima | hi is this ubuntu for beginners, and do you offer help? | 10:07 |
| Rory | !ask | kali_eskrima | 10:07 |
| ubottu | kali_eskrima: 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 | 10:07 |
| calimero_82 | it came a message before login-identification | 10:07 |
| ActionParsnip | kali_eskrima: we help all ubuntu user | 10:08 |
| nightdrever | ok im off thanks again Rory | 10:08 |
| Rory | calimero_82: What did the message say? | 10:08 |
| Rory | !cookie > rory | 10:08 |
| ubottu | Rory, please see my private message | 10:08 |
| calimero_82 | i don't remember caus it's been very fast | 10:08 |
| calimero_82 | :( | 10:08 |
| sharpshooter | ActionParsnip, I typed typed the password and the shell is still the same | 10:08 |
| Rory | calimero_82: Is it causing problems? | 10:08 |
| calimero_82 | no nothing | 10:09 |
| Rory | sharpshooter: what command exactly are you running? "chsh -s /bin/bash username" try that | 10:09 |
| Rory | calimero_82: So what is the problem? | 10:09 |
| calimero_82 | i think there 's a problem | 10:09 |
| Rory | calimero_82: Why? | 10:09 |
| calimero_82 | had never appeared that message | 10:10 |
| sharpshooter | Rory, i tried chsh -s `which bash` username and tried chsh -s /bin/bash username | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip | sharpshooter: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 10:11 |
| kali_eskrima | if i install wine and wine windows program loader will that help me use certain win programs? what is the difference between them two? and will i be able to use the cannon printer and scanner with the wine program? | 10:11 |
| Rory | !wine | kali_eskrima | 10:11 |
| ubottu | kali_eskrima: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 10:11 |
| Rory | kali_eskrima: Basically, some Windows applications work, and some don't | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip | kali_eskrima: the drivers will need to be native, not used in Wine | 10:11 |
| sharpshooter | ActionParsnip, Ubuntu 13.04 \n \l | 10:11 |
| Rory | kali_eskrima: If you're having problems with your scanner we can help you set it up, does it have a model number? | 10:11 |
| kali_eskrima | what is native dirvers? | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip | kali_eskrima: Wine is an abstraction layer for Windows call and you will have access to hardware which the Linux OS can communicate with. | 10:12 |
| Rory | sharpshooter: If you reset your terminal does the problem persist? | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip | kali_eskrima: so yes, native drivers will be needed | 10:12 |
| Rory | sharpshooter: so you run "echo $SHELL" and it says "zsh" even though you're actually using Bash? | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip | kali_eskrima: did you check the Canon Europe website? They do make driver debs for some of their products. | 10:12 |
| sharpshooter | Rory, Rory yes it still says /usr/bin/zsh | 10:13 |
| calimero_82 | Rory: i restart and control if happend again? | 10:13 |
| ActionParsnip | sharpshooter: what is the output of: grep `whoami` /etc/passwd | 10:13 |
| sharpshooter | Rory, how can I reset my terminal ? | 10:13 |
| Rory | sharpshooter: close it and open it again if it';s graphical | 10:14 |
| sharpshooter | Rory, yeah I restart but not helping | 10:14 |
| sharpshooter | sharpshooter:x:1000:1000:Sharpshooter,,,:/home/sharpshooter:/bin/bash | 10:14 |
| sharpshooter | ActionParsnip, sharpshooter:x:1000:1000:Sharpshooter,,,:/home/sharpshooter:/bin/bash | 10:15 |
| kali_eskrima | i think i set it up after many hours looking online,... i did something find in the canon webste and downloaded the drivers. the only thing is bothering me, is that to use the canon printer scanner i need to use gimp.. but the icon of the ubuntu 12.04 "printer" and "scanner" doesnt recognize the canon....? why | 10:15 |
| === sporkeee is now known as wilee-nilee | ||
| Rory | kali_eskrima: What's the model number of your printer/scanner ? | 10:15 |
| kali_eskrima | so yes i think i set it up, i downloaded the dirvers | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip | sharpshooter: looks fine, do you have the shell set in /etc/environment or in ~/.bashrc at all | 10:15 |
| kali_eskrima | canon mp2200 pixma multipractice | 10:15 |
| Rory | kali_eskrima: What Ubuntu version are you using? (use the command "cat /etc/issue" to check if you're unsure) | 10:16 |
| kali_eskrima | 12.04 ubuntu | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | kali_eskrima: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue; uname -m | 10:17 |

| kali_eskrima | oh and before i forget...where can i find the complete list of command lines for terminal? thanks | 10:17 |
| kali_eskrima | ok hold on @actionparsnip | 10:17 |
| Rory | kali_eskrima: It doesn't relly work like that but | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | kali_eskrima: the list is astronomical, completely unfeasible to document that way | 10:17 |
| Rory | !cli | kali_eskrima | 10:18 |
| ubottu | kali_eskrima: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro | 10:18 |
| kali_eskrima | i heard about the "man"...what is that excatly? | 10:18 |
| jack | the question alone is wonderful though :P | 10:18 |
| jack | windows fan, live! | 10:19 |
| kali_eskrima | ok so for the output is: | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip | kali_eskrima: its the options of the command you want to use | 10:19 |

| DJones | Guest41419: Do you have an Ubuntu support question? | 10:21 |
| kali_eskrima | im new to this ubuntu. i like it but its giving me so much complications. even the 12.04 has error messages , like it has failed and if i want to send a report... | 10:21 |
| calimero_82 | Rory: i restart my pc and control the advice? | 10:21 |
| Rory | calimero_82: Honestly I don't know what you're asking | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip | kali_eskrima: https://launchpad.net/~michael-gruz/+archive/canon/+files/cnijfilter-ip2200series_2.60-5ubuntu4_amd64.deb install that | 10:21 |
| tengopreguntas1 | can anybody tell me where i can read about what is the structure of the .list files for the repositories. i want to know how the "raring" "universe" thing works | 10:21 |
| Rory | calimero_82: If it isn't causing you any actual problems, ignore it | 10:21 |
| Guest41419 | black out | 10:22 |
| calimero_82 | ok | 10:22 |
| kali_eskrima | so how do you guys know always what to put in the terminal if the list is astronomical? | 10:22 |
| calimero_82 | i see if happened again now | 10:22 |
| calimero_82 | bye and thanks Rory | 10:22 |
| Rory | kali_eskrima: Experience :) | 10:22 |
| kali_eskrima | @actionparsnip i saw that website in launchpad of michael, but i dont understand it all.... | 10:22 |
| === Thorium220 is now known as Thor|Away | ||
| kali_eskrima | hmm..so u actually always upgrading the system and adding commands? | 10:23 |
| Rory | tengopreguntas1: https://wiki.debian.org/RepositoryFormat might be what you're after | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | kali_eskrima: its a deb file which may help | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | kali_eskrima: canon support is patchy at best | 10:23 |
| tengopreguntas1 | Rory: sounds like. thanks a lot | 10:23 |
| Rory | kali_eskrima: "commands" you keep talking about are really just programs | 10:23 |
| majorJ | can install saucy salamander desktop from command line while running 13.04 desktop currently? or do i need to install it from ISO? | 10:23 |
| kali_eskrima | so what is the debian? a system that my pc is runing? | 10:23 |
| Rory | !debian | kali_eskrima | 10:23 |
| ubottu | kali_eskrima: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/what-is-debian.html - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | majorJ: #ubuntu+1 for Saucy support | 10:23 |
| sharpshooter | ActionParsnip, I'am relay new to environment term, what is that supposed to do ? | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip | sharpshooter: is the shell defined in either of those 2 files? | 10:24 |
| rich97 | Hey, does anyone else have a problem of "permission denied: /dev/null" when piping script output into it? | 10:24 |
| kali_eskrima | @action parsnip so that link for deb that you gave me, will actually make my programs in ubuntu for scanner and printer recognizable? | 10:25 |
| kali_eskrima | @rory oooh ok... i got it..commands | 10:25 |
| Rory | rich97: What is the output of: grep null /lib/udev/rules.d/* | 10:25 |
| rich97 | /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules:KERNEL=="null|zero|full|random|urandom", MODE="0666" | 10:25 |
| majorJ | so saucy is not stable yet huh ? | 10:26 |
| Rory | majorJ: Not until the 17th | 10:26 |
| majorJ | cool bbl then | 10:26 |
| majorJ | :) | 10:26 |
| Rory | rich97: What is the output of: ls -l /dev/null | 10:26 |
| kali_eskrima | but what clue could you give me to know what repositories will be for ubuntu or debian...??? how would i know? or recogonize..? | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | majno, its prerelease | 10:26 |
| rich97 | Rory: "crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Oct 8 08:42 /dev/null" | 10:27 |
| kali_eskrima | !repositories | 10:27 |
| ubottu | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories. | 10:27 |
| kali_eskrima | ooh cool haha | 10:27 |
| sharpshooter | ActionParsnip, there is file in ~/.bashrc and in environment there is PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/game s:/usr/local/games" | 10:27 |
| Rory | rich97: What Ubuntu version are you using? (use the command "cat /dev/null" to check if you don't know) | 10:27 |
| kali_eskrima | ubutu has a command how to help u with all. who set it up? the ubutu commands? | 10:28 |
| AdityaRaj | guys i am trying to install gparted on my system.. but it is saying unable to locate package | 10:28 |
| Rory | kali_eskrima: I'm not sure what you're asking to be honest, could you rephrase? | 10:29 |
| === axon is now known as Guest13486 | ||
| Rory | AdityaRaj: Can you try running "sudo apt-get update" first? | 10:29 |
| kali_eskrima | @Rory @ActionParsnip so with this link for debian will i be able to use the ubuntu scanner and printer programs (already pre installed) and they will recognize the canon printer? | 10:29 |
| AdityaRaj | Rory, sure | 10:29 |
| Rory | kali_eskrima: Which link? | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | kali_eskrima: they were setup long long ago | 10:29 |
| qin | Rory: What cat /dev/null have to do with version | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | kali_eskrima: I'm not sure how you are meaning 'set up' | 10:29 |
| Rory | !gnu | kali_eskrima further reading | 10:29 |
| ubottu | kali_eskrima further reading: G(NU's) N(ot) U(nix). A project that aimed to develop a complete operating system of Free Software, which Ubuntu is based on. See http://gnu.org | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | kali_eskrima: or why it is important] | 10:29 |
| Rory | Oh qin whoops typo | 10:30 |
| AdityaRaj | Rory, i am getting lots of errors | 10:30 |
| Rory | qin: His issue is with /dev/null that's why | 10:30 |
| gartral | um.. why am I getting permission denied with this command: /etc/asterisk$ sudo cat extensions.conf.bak >> extensions.conf bash: extensions.conf: Permission denied | 10:30 |
| Rory | AdityaRaj: Can you please put all the errors on "http://paste.ubuntu.com" | 10:30 |
| kali_eskrima | https://launchpad.net/~michael-gruz/+archive/canon/+files/cnijfilter-ip2200series_2.60-5ubuntu4_amd64.deb this link | 10:30 |
| kali_eskrima | it was an executale file.. | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: because the sudo doesn't traverse the redirection | 10:30 |
| rich97 | Rory: 13.04 | 10:30 |
| Rory | gartral: cat extensions.conf.bak | sudo tee -a extensions.conf | 10:30 |
| gartral | Rory: or reverse if I want the contents of the first at the bottom? | 10:31 |
| Rory | kali_eskrima: That's nothing to do with debian that's packaged for Ubuntu by someone called "michael-gruz" (apparently) | 10:31 |
| rich97 | Rory: FYI cat /dev/null returned nothing. | 10:31 |
| kali_eskrima | oh ok | 10:31 |
| Rory | rich97: "cat /etc/issue" sorry my mistake. doesn't matter now | 10:31 |
| sepero | gartral: i think you need sudo su -c "cat extensions.conf.bak >> extensions.conf" | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | rich97: it will, its a black hole | 10:31 |
| kali_eskrima | no is not important was just cool that you put exclamatory point and it gives you a lot of information.. | 10:31 |
| Ben64 | sepero: please don't suggest that | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | sepero: both will work :) | 10:32 |
| rich97 | ActionParsnip: Yeah, I thought it was a weird command :) | 10:32 |
| Rory | gartral: Ignore sepero | 10:32 |
| Rory | rich97: sudo rm -f /dev/null ; sudo mknod /dev/null c 1 3 | 10:32 |
| AdityaRaj | Rory, here you go: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6208777/ | 10:32 |
| Rory | rich97: Careful please | 10:32 |
| kali_eskrima | so anyway, can you give me a hint how will i know what programs are for debian and what for ubuntu and where i will se repositories?... | 10:32 |
| Rory | rich97: and then sudo chmod 666 /dev/null | 10:33 |
| gartral | Rory: yours worked after appending 'sudo' to the string, neither file are under my direct control | 10:33 |
| Rory | kali_eskrima: All the programs in the repositories are for Ubuntu | 10:33 |
| Rory | kali_eskrima: DOn't worry about Debian at all | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | kali_eskrima: you are using Ubuntu, so the commands you have will be for Ubuntu | 10:33 |
| kali_eskrima | quick question, what are repositories, and where are they? | 10:33 |
| kali_eskrima | oooh | 10:33 |
| Rory | !apt | kali_eskrima | 10:33 |
| ubottu | kali_eskrima: 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) | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: in your command, the only part with sudo powers was the 'echo' command | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | kali_eskrima: why not use the web to find out.... | 10:34 |
| rich97 | Rory: sudo rm -f /dev/null; Permission denied /dev/null | 10:34 |
| gartral | ActionParsnip: echo? | 10:34 |
| kali_eskrima | right | 10:34 |
| qin | kali_eskrima: would you: lsb_release -a ??? | 10:34 |
| Rory | gartral: cat | 10:34 |
| rich97 | Rory: Chmod works but it doesn't seem to do anything | 10:34 |
| gartral | Rory: ahh yes | 10:34 |
| Rory | rich97: No output is good | 10:34 |
| kali_eskrima | those are supear easy questions that i can found online.. google it | 10:34 |
| gartral | rich97: no output means the command succeeded | 10:34 |
| kali_eskrima | what is that? | 10:34 |
| Rory | kali_eskrima: We're not supposed to tell people to "google it" but... yes | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: yes, read your command | 10:35 |
| kali_eskrima | @qin what is that command? | 10:35 |
| qin | kali_eskrima: just want to make sure you not using kali linux and hurting yourself | 10:35 |
| gartral | ActionParsnip: I forgot echo was a synonym for cat | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: by piping to 'sudo tee' it gets the access needed and can change the file | 10:35 |
| Rory | qin: "cat /etc/issue" is generally better because it outputs on one line | 10:35 |
| manson | hi | 10:35 |
| Rory | hello manson | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: its similar | 10:35 |
| rich97 | Rory gartral: Yeah, thanks I get that. I'm just saying that it doesn't seem to do anything to remedy the situation. | 10:36 |
| kali_eskrima | sorry i meant to do it and i tought it would be easier to ask, but i better ask something more complicated which takes me long to fix it by myself. | 10:36 |
| kali_eskrima | what is kali linux? | 10:36 |
| Rory | kali_eskrima: It's getting a bit busy in here, and it seems you have a lot of questions about Ubuntu which aren't strictly support questions. Why not join #ubuntu-offtopic channel and talk about it there? | 10:36 |
| kali_eskrima | a program? and why would i hurt myself? | 10:36 |
| kali_eskrima | right | 10:36 |
| Rory | kali_eskrima: Kali is another distribution based on Ubuntu. Formally known as BackTrack, it's used for penetration testing | 10:36 |
| rich97 | Still a permission denied on any write operations which is weird considering sudo and mode 0666 | 10:36 |
| k1l | kali_eskrima: please put a "lsb_release -a" into a pastebin and show the link here | 10:37 |
| gartral | kali_eskrima: kali linux is another linux distrobution, and as such is outside the scope of the #ubuntu channel | 10:37 |
| manson | hi i have problem, i am not able to connect wifi on ubuntu, it says authentication required, even my wifi password is correct but i cant | 10:37 |
| Rory | rich97: Can you give me an example of a command you run to produce the error? | 10:37 |
| manson | can anyone know this problem | 10:37 |
| Rory | manson: What Ubuntu version are you using? And what is the model number of your wireless device, motherboard, or laptop? | 10:37 |
| rich97 | Rory: ls > /dev/null | 10:37 |

| gueney_ | Hello guys. I have accidentally pulled out my usb stick from my machine without umounting it. It still remains in my /media/ folder and can be browsable to a certain degree. How can I remedy that? I have no root privileges. It's a stick I occasionally use for work but also has confidential/private data on it... would very much prefer to not leave it browsable | 10:43 |
| Rory | qin: What k1l is getting at is, hes probably using Kali Linux and not Ubuntu# | 10:43 |
| manson | hello Rory | 10:43 |
| manson | pl help me out | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | gueney_: you can force unmount stuff | 10:43 |

| Antioch | I want to change the permissions of a folder and all of its nested subfolders (but not files). Does using the chmod -R flag change the only the folders, or all folders+files? | 10:44 |
| Rory | Antioch: The latter | 10:44 |
| Antioch | Rory, any way to do only folders? | 10:44 |
| manson | its not my own wifi its university wifi | 10:44 |
| Rory | Antioch: use chmod -Rv to see | 10:44 |
| Rory | Antioch: yes hold on | 10:44 |
| Antioch | sorry, thank you. | 10:44 |
| qin | Antioch: chmod 0600 $(find . ! -type d), use with sens | 10:45 |
| manson | the another problem is from the top of bar, there is warning red mark occurred | 10:45 |
| Antioch | qin: thank you very much! | 10:46 |
| manson | when i clicked an error says, plz run package manager from right-click menu | 10:46 |
| qin | Antioch: or better yet, find . -type d -exec chmod 0600 {} \; | 10:46 |
| manson | hello Rory | 10:46 |
| Rory | Antioch: find . -type d -exec chmod 666 {} \; | 10:46 |

| tdn | How do I share a folder in Ubuntu 12.04 so that a printer can upload scanned files to it? I am guessing this is samba shares. How to do? | 10:47 |
| keanehsiao | hi, how can I use monit to check multiple processes with simple dsl something like "check process instance[0-100] with pid /file/loc/instance[0-100]" ? | 10:47 |
| Antioch | Rory thanks, that's easier to understand :) | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | tdn: in nautilus, right click a folder and select share | 10:47 |
| tdn | ActionParsnip, do I need to set up any users or groups for this? I just want a world writable folder. | 10:48 |
| tdn | ActionParsnip, when I have shared a folder, then what? What address do I type in on the printer? | 10:48 |
| tdn | ActionParsnip, \\hostname\foldername? | 10:48 |
| Rory | manson: It will be on a sticker on the device itsself, or if you really don't know, you can run the command "sudo lsusb" and put the output on http://paste.ubuntu.com and I will work it out from that | 10:48 |
| tdn | ActionParsnip, what if several users share a folder with same name? | 10:49 |
| manson | ok, the error message comes top of bar: Opening the cache(could not open file /var/lib/dpkg/ status -open(13:permission denied) | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | tdn: depends on the OS you are uploading from. You can run: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER and create a samba username and password to authenticate with. Try it without | 10:49 |
| manson | can u fix tat probleme Rory plz | 10:49 |

| Rory | manson: then can you put the output of the command "sudo lsusb" on http://paste.ubuntu.com and put the resulting URL in channel | 10:50 |
| manson | ok | 10:51 |
| gulag2013 | qin, you went over my head. Is was asking about the 0 in the 0600. Is it a sticky bit or something like that. I'm new to permission. | 10:52 |
| tdn | ActionParsnip, the OS is an HP printer. | 10:52 |
| tdn | ActionParsnip, so something embedded. | 10:52 |

| jayH | I'm compiling I think (new to Ubuntu) -missing a package I think, configure: error: Package requirements (cairo) were not met | 11:18 |
| the-noob | ActionParsnip: well, the entire story is that I'm using it in a VM with Vagrant | 11:18 |
| the-noob | and shell provisioning | 11:19 |
| the-noob | so I'll just add that ' apache2ctl start ' to the bootstrap.sh | 11:19 |
| ActionParsnip | the-noob: the command will run as root at startup and get the service running | 11:19 |
| ActionParsnip | jayH: where are you installing it from? What method are you using? | 11:19 |
| jayH | I ran ./configure which was fine till that point | 11:20 |
| jayH | It's the latest version, not in Software Centre yet | 11:20 |

| kali_eskrima | @Rory hi, i have one quick question. maybe is nothing but i wasnt too sure what to do. so downloaded the gparted and i was reseraching online how to do partition after installed ubuntu. i entered this command to terminal (sudo fdisk -l) and it gave me specific list with one warning. please can you see in the link i give you? thank you very much. http://paste.ubuntu.com/6208970/ | 11:47 |

| Rory | kali_eskrima: You should use the graphical "gparted" utility -you don't need to install it, it's already on the LiveCD | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Rasmus`: its a challenge met, so all good :) | 11:53 |
| kali_eskrima | ok i saw it on the live cd but i didnt know what to do. thats why i did install gparted now. so can it damage my disk of current settings or i can just create without problems, another partition? did you saw the link i gave you? | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | kali_eskrima: you just updated it if you installed it :) | 11:53 |
| kali_eskrima | oh ok.. hmm | 11:54 |
| kali_eskrima | did you saw the link i gave? it says something about WARNING GPT..... etc | 11:54 |
| Rory | kali_eskrima: You should run gparted, then you can graphically resize partitions and create new ones | 11:54 |
| kali_eskrima | should i be concerned? | 11:55 |
| Rory | kali_eskrima: That's right, the command-line utility "fdisk" doesn't support the type of partition table you are using. It's not a problem | 11:55 |
| kali_eskrima | ok and gparted will not destroy my current setting, will just add /separate this big partition in two? right? | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | kali_eskrima: if you are concerned then ensure your backups are up to date | 11:56 |
| Rory | kimphill: It will do what you tell it to do | 11:56 |

| Rory | kali_eskrima: It will be pretty obvious once you open it, you can just right-click a partition and do "resize" and there's a slider | 11:57 |

| Chef | Yowl, I use ecryptfs. | 12:47 |
| Chef | I've never had a need for full-disk encryption like luks or dm-crypt, though. | 12:48 |
| Yowl | Chef: It is a type of FS, doesn't that mean it makes a quasi partition? | 12:48 |
| Yowl | Chef: Since you can't have more then one FS on a partition, right? | 12:48 |
| Chef | I think it does, but I'm not an expert. | 12:49 |
| Yowl | Chef: Is the space within eCrypts static like a partition, or expand and contract according to contents within? | 12:49 |
| === Alekzanther__ is now known as Alekzanther | ||
| Chef | I think the default is static.. To be honest, I don't remember much about my setup of ecrypt | 12:50 |

| TJ- | Yowl: eCryptfs is a stacked file-system, it doesn't work on the block level, but on a per-directory/per-file basis. | 12:51 |
| helmut_ | hi | 12:51 |
| Yowl | TJ-: I am not sure what you mean/how that applies to what I was asking about | 12:52 |
| TJ- | Yowl: The encrypted homes on Ubuntu live at /home/.ecryptfs/$USER/ | 12:52 |
| Yowl | TJ-: So is it a FS or not? Does it expand and contract according to content amount or not? | 12:53 |
| TJ- | Yowl: There is no 'partition' set aside for it... it works above an existing blocked file-system, hence it is called 'stacked' since the file-systems stack one on top of another | 12:53 |
| Yowl | TJ Does it expand and contract according to content amount or is the space within set/static? | 12:55 |
| MonkeyDust | hi, this the playce for obuntu questyons? | 12:55 |
| Chef | It expands/contracts according to content. | 12:55 |
| TJ- | Yowl: Your question makes no sense in relation to ecryptfs. | 12:55 |
| Chef | Although expansion/contraction are weird words | 12:55 |

| fishcooker | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6209190/ | 12:56 |
| TJ- | Yowl: When ecryptfs is in use, it writes each file/directory that is encrypted to a file/directory that is encrypted, in the underlying file system. Each encrypted file will have a size in relation to the unencrypted version | 12:56 |
| Yowl | Chef: So can actively get into and lock up ecrypts contents without having to relog? | 12:57 |
| TJ- | Yowl: Real example might help you here... | 12:57 |
| fishcooker | is it about the locale error? | 12:57 |
| fishcooker | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6209190/ | 12:57 |
| TJ- | Yowl: The /home/ file-system on my current system uses ext4 block-level file-system. | 12:57 |
| TJ- | Yowl: When I chose to encrypt my home directory (/home/tj/) ecryptfs created a new directory (/home/.ecryptfs/tj/). | 12:58 |
| TJ- | Yowl: Before I log-in the only things in /home/tj/ are maker files saying my home directory is encrypted. After I log-in ecryptfs reads all the directories and files in /home/.ecryptfs/tj/.Private/ and creates their unencrypted versions in /home/tj/ | 12:59 |

| blurkis | I just tried gnome 3.10 on ubuntu 3.10 (yes, i know its still in development) and there seems to be no way to change theme for applications..? how do I do that in gnome 3.10? | 13:01 |
| cebor | when i move a window with (shift + ctrl + alt + cursor) to a other desktop, is it a know bug, that the animation is very ugly in 13.04 ? | 13:01 |
| Yowl | TJ-: So the content is encypted and unencrypted via log in? I can't actively lock or unlock said encypted content? | 13:01 |
| TJ- | Yowl: As those files are written to the encrypted versions are updated during the write, so eCryptFS presents a 'view' of unencrypted files but they don't really exist, it just transparently decrypts/encrypts the files in /home/.ecryptfs/ttj/.Private/ as I access them | 13:01 |
| TJ- | Yowl: Sure you can. You can unlink the login scripts that mount ecryptfs and handle it manually if you want to | 13:02 |
| TJ- | Yowl: If the ecryptfs pass-phrase gets out of sync with your user password you'll log-in to find none of the expected files in /home/$USER/, for example. | 13:03 |
| shomon | hiya, I was copying stuff and the computer got unplugged and now that drive won't mount.. | 13:03 |
| shomon | it gives me this message: http://pastebin.com/jJUJTfR0 | 13:03 |
| Yowl | TJ-: So I can have my encrypted content unlocked and remain unlockthrough multiple logins and outs, and visa versa, I can have it locked and remain locked with multiple logins and outs? | 13:04 |
| shomon | I don't have windows but I could make a hiren's boot cd and boot from it perhaps. | 13:04 |
| Yowl | well, visa versa was the wrong word there | 13:04 |
| shomon | is there an ubuntu way to fix the problem? a unix way even? | 13:06 |
| Yowl | Chef: Do you know? | 13:07 |
| Chef | I don't, sorry. | 13:08 |
| Chef | I encrypt, then decrypt after using it. | 13:08 |
| Yowl | Chef: Don't you mean the other way around? | 13:08 |
| Chef | Yes, sorry. | 13:09 |
| Yowl | Chef: And you decrypt by logging in as X user? | 13:09 |
| Chef | I don't know if there's a way to preserve its state if you log in or out. | 13:09 |
| Chef | No, using commandline. | 13:09 |
| Chef | ecryptfs-mount-private and ecryptfs-umount-private | 13:09 |
| Yowl | Chef: So you log in, run a command line with password. It descrypts. What would happen if you restarted your PC, would it be crypted or unencrypted? | 13:10 |
| Chef | Crypted.. I think. | 13:11 |

| qbalazs | Quick probably strange question, but does anyone know where an up to date "rpm-ized" version of debootstrap could be found? | 13:19 |

| === bruno is now known as Guest28384 | ||
| Yowl | Chef: What differences are there between truecrypt and eCryptfs? | 13:20 |
| TJ- | truecrypt is a block-level system the same as dm-crypt | 13:20 |
| Yowl | TJ-: And what does block level system mean? | 13:21 |
| TJ- | Yowl: block devices... those that allocate space in blocks (usually sectors) | 13:22 |
| dandan_ | Here is the file stackprotector.h http://pastie.org/8386625 | 13:22 |
| TJ- | dandan_: thanks | 13:22 |
| TJ- | dandan_: Do you see the error? Your make fails with a report of an unexpected semi-colon on line 32. "canary ^= LINUX_VERSION_CODE;" ... which tells me that LINUX_VERSION_CODE has not been defined and is null/empty | 13:23 |
| dandan_ | Why has LINUX VERSION CODE not been defined when previously it must have been defined if I could MAKE okay? | 13:24 |
| TJ- | dandan_: That file is including "#include <linux/version.h>" which, because of the <> markers, it will look for in the system include directory /usr/include/ | 13:25 |
| Yowl | TJ-: Meaning the Encrypted space is set, like a partition? | 13:25 |
| TJ- | dandan_: So check /usr/include/linux/version.h | 13:25 |
| TJ- | Yowl: forget the partition, it is a file-system - it could live inside a file (if it is loopback mounted) as in, for example, virtualised systems | 13:26 |
| nrdb | I have just setup a KVM with libvirt :-) ... now I want to add a bridge in the host just for the VMs to use (i.e. not connected to the LAN) .... how can I do this? | 13:27 |
| compdoc | nrdb, a virtual network should already exist | 13:28 |
| ikonia | nrdb: that is setup by default on the private lan | 13:28 |
| dandan_ | TJ-: The contents of usr/include/linux/version.h is: #define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 197170 #define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c)) | 13:28 |
| TJ- | dandan_: My bet is, you've not set the include directories correctly in your build scripts and instead of reading the "linux/version.h" relative to your Android kernel source-code root directory, they're reading from the host system | 13:28 |
| nrdb | compdoc, it does but it has a dhcp etc.. allready going on it, and NATs to the internet... I don't want this. | 13:29 |
| asandyz | hi | 13:29 |

| ikonia | nrdb: you don't need to do anything | 13:31 |
| TJ- | dandan_: Sorry, I can't help you much more on that. My advice, as always, is capture the logs and read them and the error messages, and then work back to figure out why the bad state could have occurred | 13:31 |
| ikonia | nrdb: libvirt already has a private lan setup when you install it | 13:31 |
| asandyz | ubottu: :D | 13:31 |
| ikonia | nrdb: use the libvirt interface to make an internal network if that's not what you want | 13:31 |
| compdoc | nrdb, I use virt-manager for that. you only need to set up /etc/network/interfaces if you have a seperate nic, or need to create a bridge to the real lan | 13:31 |

| ikonia | nrdb: how is it not suitable ? what's wrong with it | 13:32 |
| TJ- | dandan_: As I said earlier, the root cause is that LINUX_VERSION_CODE is NOT being defined, and you know the file where it *should* be defined, so focus on which file in the file-system is being read at that point and what its contents are. | 13:33 |

| ikonia | nrdb: it doesn't have to be - it's one flag to change it | 13:34 |
| dandan_ | TJ-: Do you have any idea why upgrading packages after initial distro install would break this? And why it worked previous to this? | 13:34 |
| dean | Hey guys what ca bundle does curl use in Ubuntu? I'm trying to add a new certificate and it doesn't seem to be picking it up. | 13:34 |

| asandyz | Hp cooling technology , is it useable by ubuntu? | 13:35 |
| ikonia | asandyz: has it is controlled/managed ? | 13:35 |
| asandyz | i dint get it | 13:35 |
| ikonia | asandyz: how is it used, is it a hardware device, a software device, | 13:35 |
| TJ- | dandan_: The only thing I can imagine that'd be obvious is if a new linux-headers packages is installed | 13:36 |
| asandyz | ikonia: its hardware device, came with Hp ( win8) pre installed | 13:36 |
| dandan_ | I think that is what happened! | 13:36 |
| ikonia | asandyz: so what is the device called, does it have linux support ? | 13:36 |
| Yowl | TJ-: Just is the space within when using truecrypt flexible or static, yes or no? | 13:37 |
| dandan_ | TJ-: LINUX_VERSION_CODE IS defined in that file, so why is it saying its not? | 13:38 |
| === mathisen_ is now known as mathisen | ||
| ikonia | why is this anything to do with ubuntu ? | 13:38 |
| TJ- | dandan_: If that is the case I suspect your build script is picking up a new header file. Try this, to find any system-level versions: "ls /lib/modules/*/build/include/linux/version.h" | 13:40 |
| dilan | hola | 13:40 |
| dandan_ | TJ-: I get this output: ls: cannot access /lib/modules/*/build/include/linux/version.h: No such file or directory | 13:41 |
| TJ- | dandan_: OK, so that file doesn't exist in the system... might explain your issue, *if* that is the one your build script expects. You really need to ask the build-script creators/maintainers though. | 13:42 |
| dilan | hi | 13:43 |
| Yowl | TJ-: Did you see my question? | 13:43 |
| dilan | hello | 13:43 |
| tmacfalcon | bloody monday | 13:43 |
| TJ- | Yowl: I told you earlier, you need to go do our own research if it is important. It is not an Ubuntu related support issue. | 13:44 |
| dandan_ | TJ-: Ok, well I doubt I will get a response from Samsung any time soon.. Do you have any suggestions to fix it? | 13:45 |
| Yowl | TJ-: Just looking for a simple yes/no as to whether the space is static. It is something I am trying to do with ubuntu, even if it might not be something specific with ubuntus files. And it would take you less time to answer then it would to say that | 13:45 |
| TJ- | dandan_: Find other people in the Android community that are using that same source-code bundle | 13:46 |
| dandan_ | TJ-: When I run apt-get upgrade, I get this: The following packages have been kept back: linux-headers-generic-lts-raring linux-image-generic-lts-raring 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded. | 13:46 |
| TJ- | dandan_: Try using "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 13:46 |
| dilan | quien habla español | 13:46 |
| dandan_ | TJ-: Could that be why I have issues? | 13:47 |
| TJ- | !es | dilan | 13:47 |
| ubottu | dilan: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 13:47 |
| TJ- | dandan_: Well yes, since the linux-headers packages contain that file amongst others :) | 13:47 |
| dandan_ | TJ-: Silly linux, why does it hold back those two updates? | 13:48 |
| TJ- | dandan_: But there's something wrong with your build environment if the host's include files are being read. The only files that should be read are the Android device's kernel source tree! | 13:48 |
| TJ- | dandan_: apt holds back anything that is a "new" package - i.e., not just an existing package with a version update. | 13:48 |
| dilan | quit | 13:49 |
| dandan_ | TJ-: Thank you for all the help. Do you have any advice or resources on setting up a build environment? I've followed some tutorials from XDA and other sites to setup an Android build environment and it was working until my apt-get upgrade. | 13:50 |
| TJ- | dandan_: XDA is the place if any | 13:50 |
| TJ- | dandan_: I wrote on article on cross-building for Android on Ubuntu a while back. It may not be entirely up-to-date but it might help you: http://tjworld.net/wiki/Linux/Kernel/ARMCrossCompileOnIntel | 13:51 |
| dandan_ | TJ-: I just looked in my kernel source tree, under include/linux/version.h and indeed #define LINUX_VERSION_CODE is blank :/ | 13:52 |
| TJ- | dandan_: That explains it then :) do a "grep -rn LINUX_VERSION_CODE *.h" starting at the root of your Android kernel source tree, see which if any files mention it | 13:53 |

| foofoobar | Hi. I just got a new notebook with ubuntu. It has a HD screen, so all content is really small. I remember there was some feature on apples osx where you can "adapt" content to retina (so it looks bigger) | 14:10 |

| foofoobar | ikonia, ok, I will try | 14:16 |

| lucenut | Anyone here dabbled with ubuntu-touch? | 14:17 |
| foofoobar | ikonia, where do I increase the font size? | 14:18 |
| foofoobar | Is there some general setting for this? | 14:19 |
| lsvr | universal access, large font button? | 14:19 |
| ikonia | foofoobar: is there nothing in the settings on this ? | 14:19 |
| lsvr | dash,universal,select large fonts | 14:19 |
| foofoobar | ok | 14:21 |
| foofoobar | this looks a bit strange, cause window title etc. keep the same | 14:21 |
| TJ- | dandan_: Which suggests that's not the file your build scripts are actually reading. You'll need to enable make debug logging and trace which files are being read, and correct any errors in the tree root being assumed | 14:21 |
| lsvr | foofoobar: logging out and in again may fix that (can't remember) | 14:22 |
| foofoobar | ok I try, ty | 14:23 |
| zexcriz | can i have multiple instance of ubuntu running side by side ? | 14:23 |
| zexcriz | same version 13.04 ? | 14:23 |
| TJ- | foofoobar: I think the setting you need is the one that adjusts the DPI (dots per inch) but like so many other useful features, Gnome-settings and Unity have removed them from the GUIs so you'll need to find and change them using dconf-editor, if they still exist | 14:24 |
| dandan_ | TJ-: How do I enable make debug logging? | 14:26 |
| TJ- | dandan_: I think you need to immerse yourself in the build system documentation, to understand it... make especially, but also gcc and the kernel's specific build system. You're out of your depth right now. | 14:27 |
| hay | hi all.. is there a way to add a patch file to a installed package via "apt-get install" command? Or do I have to compile and install app from source? | 14:28 |
| dandan_ | TJ-: Ok I appreciate that, any idea on a starting point? | 14:28 |
| pgib | meh.. no ideas on this video issue? I was hoping there might be some key to smash for Grub to make it use a more normal graphics mode | 14:29 |
| TJ- | dandan_: XDA of course, the AOSP web-site has some great tutorials on building Android, and the ##linux channel here might help | 14:29 |
| pgib | blindly editing kernel boot lines doesn't seem practical. I guess I need to try booting from another device | 14:29 |
| TJ- | pgib: If you can get to the GRUB boot menu with the shift key held down, you can add "nomodeset" to the kernel's command line | 14:30 |
| dandan_ | TJ-: Thank you for your help... You can understand my frustration when at first it worked, I compiled a working kernel that booted on my Galaxy Note 3, and then I update Ubuntu and it breaks :( | 14:30 |
| pgib | ok, shift key will cause grub to be interactive? thanks TJ- | 14:30 |
| TJ- | pgib: If the screen is out-of-range when BIOS/firmware hands over to GRUB, that suggests the BIOS/firmware has put the GPU into graphics mode, and therefore check the settings in BIOS/firmware | 14:31 |
| semitones | I think my flash drive is broken. fdisk says /dev/sdb is read only. What else could cause this? | 14:31 |
| semitones | (btw I don't have any important data on it) | 14:31 |
| TJ- | dandan_: Yeah... I think actually you were 'lucky' in that the Ubuntu linux-headers happened to match what the build system was looking for | 14:31 |
| pgib | TJ-, Ok, I'll check that too. If I choose an incorrect device to boot from, then I do at least get the blinking cursor at row 0 col 0 after bootstraping | 14:32 |
| TJ- | pgib: I suspect GRUB is configured to use graphics mode and uses the wrong one. If you can boot once, edit /etc/default/grub and enable "GRUB_TERMINAL=console" then "sudo update-grub" | 14:33 |
| pgib | Yeah, I'll see if the Shift key trick works, otherwise I'll boot from a Live CD, edit /etc/default/grub as you mention (thanks, I would have missed that one) and menu.lst or whatever to make sure the kernel mode is right too | 14:35 |
| schnitzl | hi. what is the smartest way to make an image of a win ssd. i googled. partimage does not work (experimental ntfs support), dd seems NOT to be an good idea because it writes 0 blocks and i use an ssd. any ideas? (i could use clonezilla, but since i have a running ubuntu partiotion i dont want to prepare another usb drive) | 14:35 |
| pgib | schnitzl wait.. you want to make an image file from a SSD device? | 14:35 |
| TJ- | pgib: If the system has grub2 then there is no menu.lst. The "update-grub" regenerates "/boot/grub/grub.cfg" | 14:35 |
| schnitzl | pgib, exactly. like a backup image from a windows ssd. | 14:36 |
| pgib | schnitzl, so what is wrong with dd? | 14:36 |
| schnitzl | it writes,as far as i read, all the blocks, even if they are unused (0), which is not good for ssd devices. | 14:36 |
| TJ- | schnitzl: Using dd, look at the "sparse" option that seeks over NUL blocks | 14:36 |
| pgib | I don't see why zero blocks are a problem unique to SSD though... | 14:37 |
| schnitzl | i must have overread this... i should do my homework better :) thanks. | 14:37 |
| pgib | you are just reading, == | 14:37 |
| OerHeks | pgib +1 | 14:37 |
| schnitzl | its mentioned especially int he german ubuntu wiki | 14:37 |
| schnitzl | with a big "!" | 14:37 |
| pgib | perhaps writing zero blocks to a SSD is dumb, but I don't see a problem with reading | 14:37 |
| === thijs__ is now known as thijs | ||
| schnitzl | well. pgib someday...i have to write it back... | 14:38 |
| semitones | can I find out why /dev/sdb is read only? | 14:38 |
| pgib | then you use sparse when dd'ing from the image to the disk | 14:39 |
| pgib | you don't really need it when reading | 14:39 |
| schnitzl | ok, perfect. thanks mate. | 14:39 |
| schnitzl | dd if=/dev/sdb | gzip > ~/image-compress_sdb.img.gz this makes sense, does it? | 14:39 |
| TJ- | Errr, yes you might want it on reading! So that the back-up image file is sparse... saves space | 14:40 |
| ikonia | schnitzl: no | 14:40 |
| pgib | schnitzl, I'd probably set a blocksize | 14:40 |
| schnitzl | okay okay. so i want it on reading too..?! :(( | 14:40 |
| ikonia | and an "outfile" | 14:40 |
| pgib | ikonia, it doesn't need of= | 14:40 |
| pgib | it writed to stdout by default | 14:40 |
| ikonia | pgib: does it ? | 14:40 |
| pgib | afaik, yes | 14:40 |
| schnitzl | haha. | 14:40 |
| pgib | otherwise you couldn't make a pipeline | 14:41 |
| TJ- | schnitzl: Unless you don't mind the file you're creating containing a lot of nothing (if the source device has a lot of emptiness) | 14:41 |
| ikonia | pgib: ahh tht's true, | 14:41 |
| pgib | or, you'd need something like -of=-- | 14:41 |
| schnitzl | TJ-, i dont want that. dont have space to waste | 14:41 |
| pgib | I mean of=-- | 14:41 |
| MangaKaDenza | allright | 14:41 |
| MangaKaDenza | So I want to play wma files | 14:41 |
| MangaKaDenza | in rythymbox | 14:41 |
| MangaKaDenza | or whatever | 14:41 |
| MangaKaDenza | but it dont work none | 14:42 |
| pgib | TJ-, the image is being gzipped, that should nicely compress most of those runs of zero bytes, no? | 14:42 |
| TJ- | pgib: If writing to stdout ... not sure how sparse would work :D | 14:43 |
| pgib | TJ-, but he just needs to sparse when writing | 14:43 |
| TJ- | pgib: schnitzl sparse is probably a Non-Op for stdout | 14:43 |
| asdf999 | Hello everybody, can somebody please explain why I'm getting black screen (fivth time) when trying to install drivers for AMD 7950, tried via software center and terminal (but via proptiery drivers and open tested) on Xubuntu 13.04 | 14:43 |
| osakasa | hello, when you get a lot of bug report about rhythbox crashes after playing one song (:D) in ubuntu 13.10, it can be fixed by setting crossfade duration and time 0,0 seconds | 14:43 |
| OerHeks | MangaKaDenza, wma+drm might not play, check it with VLC | 14:43 |
| osakasa | well "fix" but that helps you to play even more than one song | 14:44 |

| ubottu | osakasa: Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) will be the 19th release of Ubuntu. Announcement: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1252 - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1. Release date will be 17th October 2013. | 14:44 |
| MangaKaDenza | :> | 14:44 |
| MangaKaDenza | hmm | 14:44 |
| MangaKaDenza | wat aboot mp4 ? | 14:44 |
| schnitzl | and just plain and simple dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb TJ- pgib and all the others :D | 14:44 |
| pgib | TJ-, I was thinking dd if=/dev/foo bs=1024 | gzip > foo.img ; then later: gunzip foo.img | dd of=/dev/bar bs=1024 sparse | 14:45 |
| TJ- | schnitzl: for writing to another block device, using "sparse" and something like "bs=100M" would be optimum | 14:45 |
| TJ- | schnitzl: Make the block-size as large as RAM allows, I've used 2G before now for moving TB-sized images about effeciently | 14:46 |
| pgib | hmm.. but wouldn't that require a run of 100M zeros to be considered a zero block? | 14:46 |
| schnitzl | what does the block size make? like the size of the files copied? | 14:46 |
| pgib | thus, sparse wouldn't be as effective | 14:46 |
| pgib | I'd pick the block size used natively by the SSD's controller personally | 14:46 |
| schnitzl | i have 8gb ram. the disk i want to clone is a new plain and simple win8.1 installation..maybe 10 gigs?? not sure. | 14:46 |
| TJ- | schnitzl: Larhe block-size means the read operation can vacuum up loads of sectors in one operation (resulting in multi-sector reads) | 14:47 |
| lesshaste | what is the ubuntu dev channel? | 14:47 |
| pgib | but, it also means that one byte set in a 100M region will still cause 100M minus one byte of zeros to be written | 14:47 |
| TJ- | lesshaste: The place where Ubuntu OS developers and packages communicate | 14:47 |
| lesshaste | go tit | 14:47 |
| asdf999 | Hello everybody, can somebody please explain why I'm getting black screen (fivth time) when trying to install drivers for AMD 7950, tried via software center and terminal (but via proptiery drivers and open tested) on Xubuntu 13.04 | 14:49 |
| TJ- | pgib: I thought that dd's "sparse" flag simply sets the sparse flag on the underlying target block device | 14:49 |
| pgib | TJ-, according to my man page, it causes dd to seek the write file past blocks of null bytes | 14:51 |
| lesshaste | what is happening with xpdf? It is 100% broken in 13.04 but this doesn't seem to be urgent . is it now deprecated as a pdf viewer? | 14:51 |
| pgib | thus, if you are working with the SSD's native block size, that seek would probably prevent the SSD's controller from allocating a block | 14:51 |
| mgedmin | xpdf is in universe; it was never officially supported | 14:52 |
| mgedmin | you do not like Evince? | 14:52 |
| lesshaste | mgedmin, ah.. I didn't know universe was unsupported! | 14:52 |
| pgib | but.. I could be wrong. | 14:52 |
| TJ- | pgib: Yeah, which on a sparse-enabled block file-system should cause no NUL blocks to be allocated | 14:52 |
| oo_miguel | so finally I managed to install the firmware for my wlan0 interfae and can proceed with the installer. however after selecting a mirror. the complete screen is just magenta, with a gray line at the bottom, where i just can type, without any effect | 14:52 |
| TJ- | pgib: Amazing how complicated it can get! | 14:52 |
| oo_miguel | it seems the installer hangs or crashed here | 14:52 |
| mgedmin | unsupported by Canonical, to be precise; another way of saying "supported by the Ubuntu community" which, apparently, doesn't care about xpdf enough to fix it | 14:52 |
| pgib | yeah.. | 14:53 |
| mgedmin | (I didn't even know it was broken; I haven't used xpdf in _years_) | 14:53 |
| schnitzl | TJ-, ask me about it... :(( | 14:53 |
| TJ- | schnitzl: :D | 14:53 |
| schnitzl | you guys know what you are talking about.. | 14:53 |
| schnitzl | but me just loling | 14:53 |
| schnitzl | ;) | 14:53 |
| * TJ- rolls eyes ... you think? | 14:53 | |
| schnitzl | hehe seems so. | 14:54 |
| pgib | schnitzl, anyway, You are safe to make you image right now without any concerns | 14:54 |
| pgib | just do the recipe you or I suggested, and that should be fine, use a larger blocksize if it makes it faster, it doesn't matter | 14:55 |
| lolol | Best programming language for begineeerssss?? | 14:55 |
| lolol | need some thoughts | 14:55 |
| somsip | !best | lolol | 14:55 |
| ubottu | lolol: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 14:55 |
| pgib | you just want to be more careful when writing. (ideally the block size you choose will be aligned with the size of your SSD's allocation units) | 14:55 |
| lolol | sompsip : what did you say? | 14:56 |
| OerHeks | lolol, english, and irc'ing as root is risky. | 14:56 |
| schnitzl | do you think the "all in one tools" like clonezilla image would to a better job than dd? | 14:56 |
| pgib | and actually, choosing your filesystem's block-size could be a good pick, since that is the least-common-denominator | 14:56 |
| pgib | schnitzl, not better. maybe simpler | 14:57 |
| SonikkuAmerica | schnitzl: dd is rather straightforward, just a little more terminal-savvy | 14:58 |
| schnitzl | i would like that. yea. | 14:58 |
| zhaolu | 有没有中文 | 14:59 |
| pgib | schnitzl: dumpe2fs /dev/foo | grep 'Block size' | 14:59 |
| schnitzl | dump2fs ? | 14:59 |
| pgib | That is the block size of your ext2 filesystem. It is probably fairly small (4096 or so) | 14:59 |

| schnitzl | i want to clone the whole drive....so i just go with this: dd if=/dev/sdb bs=100M | gzip > ~/image-compress_sdb.img.gz | 15:01 |
| schnitzl | well clone: "clone to an image" | 15:01 |
| pgib | yeah, that will clone the whole drive. are you sure you wish to restore the whole drive though? | 15:01 |
| pgib | partition table and all | 15:02 |
| schnitzl | i dont want to install my basic windows system as soon is wasted it. so i just installed win8.1 + drivers + some basic tools. the idea is to just recover the image i made with dd and not to go through the whole install process again. | 15:02 |
| pgib | ok, as long as your destination drive is at least as large as the source | 15:03 |
| pgib | I suppose you may be able to grow or add a partition in windows afterwards | 15:03 |
| schnitzl | external 1tb usb3.0, yes. it is ;) | 15:03 |
| pgib | a 1TB SSD? wow | 15:03 |
| schnitzl | and it shouldnt copy the empty blocks, does it? i dont want an imag eof 100gb of zeros | 15:04 |
| pgib | schnitzl, you will have an image of 100gb of zeros, but it should compress nicely | 15:04 |
| MangaKaDenza | ktanks | 15:04 |
| oo_miguel | what can be the reason for the installation hanging after selecting a mirror just with a gray line at the bottom, where i can type without any effect... the computer i am trying to install ubunut on does not have any harddisks, might this be the reason? | 15:04 |
| schnitzl | and how to change that, i mean, when i decompress and rewrite the image to the disc, it will write the zeros, or can i prevent that? | 15:05 |
| pgib | you want to prevent it with sparse, as mentioned before | 15:05 |
| boyslim | galera to com ubuntu 11.10 quero atualizalo para o mais recente via terminal tem como fazer isso,me deem essa força galera | 15:05 |
| schnitzl | sparse. ok. gonna read about that. | 15:06 |
| schnitzl | thank you man :D | 15:06 |
| pgib | maybe something like gunzip foo.gz | dd of=/dev/new bs=4k sparse | 15:06 |
| schnitzl | this bs thing still is weird for me. i dont understand why it just doesnt make it like the original. | 15:06 |
| schnitzl | i have no idea how to find the "optimum" | 15:06 |
| pgib | "make it like original"? | 15:06 |
| schnitzl | use the same bs as the original | 15:07 |
| schnitzl | like the source** | 15:07 |
| pgib | schnitzl, the original what? | 15:07 |
| pgib | block size for dd just means how big of a chunk does it copy at a time | 15:07 |
| leandroal | what package should I have to install to allow acroread understand asian fonts? It says that it is necessary to install Japonese Language Fonts... | 15:08 |
| pgib | some multiple of the source's sector size should be appropriate | 15:08 |
| schnitzl | ahh ok. | 15:08 |
| pgib | however, you need a balance if you want sparse to work effectively | 15:08 |
| pgib | if you did bs=1g, then even if a single bit is true in that whole 1 gigabyte block, the block will be written, zeros and all | 15:09 |
| pgib | versus something like bs=4k, only a 4k block will be written for a single 1 bit. all the other blocks will be skipped | 15:09 |
| schnitzl | i can make it pretty small i think, since i have fast hardware + the source is small | 15:09 |
| pgib | yeah.. it would be a one-time cost for you during the restore | 15:10 |
| schnitzl | thats ok. i mean are we talking about hours, or more minutes...what does a fresh out of the box windows install weight? maybe 10 gigs...so thats nothing | 15:11 |
| schnitzl | i will go with 100mb. seems "smart" to me. but now, thanks to you guys, i udnerstand a little bit of that process. | 15:11 |
| pgib | I'd probably go down further for the restore, but that's just me | 15:12 |
| ramindia | hey all iam having issue sun quad port cards | 15:13 |
| schnitzl | pgib, what do you think? | 15:13 |
| schnitzl | suggest* | 15:13 |
| ramindia | the mac address keep in changeing | 15:13 |
| ramindia | sun 501 5406 model | 15:13 |
| ramindia | not able to bind the cards | 15:15 |
| ramindia | for specific interface..the MAC keep changing | 15:15 |
| schnitzl | pgib, check this out. intersting: http://superuser.com/questions/234199/good-block-size-for-disk-cloning-with-diskdump-dd | 15:16 |
| pgib | I'd chose the smallest possible before it is super fucking slow | 15:17 |
| ikonia | pgib: tone down the language please. | 15:17 |
| pgib | ? ok | 15:17 |
| pgib | You want to avoid the SSD allocating empty blocks | 15:17 |
| ramindia | SUN 501-5460 sorry | 15:17 |
| * ochawkeye slaps pgib around a bit with a large trout | 15:18 | |
| schnitzl | hehe yea. so i am with 10megs. | 15:18 |
| ikonia | ochawkeye_: don't need that sort of thing please, don't | 15:18 |
| pgib | (bs when creating the image is not important in this regard, choose something big, maybe 32M or so) | 15:18 |
| pgib | I'd say around 64k is a good compromise when restoring | 15:19 |
| schnitzl | ok | 15:19 |

| daniel11 | Hello my friend's windows computer wont boot. I have suggested he install ubuntu and we are currently looking at a USB live system, which is running on the computer where we will install ubuntu. We want to back up his windows files first, but his NTFS partition has auto-mounted and cant be read (sudo blkid confirms it is NTFS). the command ls gives a "Input/Output Error" on the mount point. | 15:50 |
| TJ- | dman777_alter: Have you configured netfilters conntrack rules? | 15:50 |
| daniel11 | are we essentially looking at a fucked ntfs partition then? any other things to try? | 15:50 |
| dman777_alter | TJ-: no, i thought it kept track of all connections regardless. | 15:50 |
| dman777_alter | TJ-: i don't have any ip tables rules on my gentoo system and /proc/net/ip_conntrack populates | 15:51 |
| TJ- | dman777_alter: Are other nf_conntrack_* modules also loaded? | 15:51 |
| OerHeks | daniel11, install ntfs-3g to access the NTFS partition | 15:52 |

| ikonia | it could be as simple as requiring a shard memory segment, | 16:32 |
| keanehsiao | ActionParsnip: once I start 80 instance. I run 30 at it was fine, and I create another 50 may cause the problem. | 16:32 |

| keanehsiao | ActionParsnip: I think ruby program itself may works fine | 16:33 |
| systime | kongthap: np | 16:33 |
| keanehsiao | ikonia: perhaps, but I set anything I can image to a high number, ex ulimit, limit.h and some more | 16:34 |
| ikonia | keanehsiao: limit.h - is a header, that won't change anything on the system | 16:34 |
| ActionParsnip | keanehsiao: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue; uname -m | 16:35 |
| keanehsiao | also set #define PIPE_BUF #define rtsig#define FD_SETSIZE #define NR_OPEN | 16:35 |
| ikonia | keanehsiao: that's specific to your program - again, not a system setting | 16:35 |

| gordonjcp | LordThumper: unmount it, then | 16:38 |
| ActionParsnip | LordThumper: sudo umount /dev/sdb1 for example | 16:39 |
| LordThumper | Yes, terminal is the only option for this common action | 16:39 |
| gordonjcp | LordThumper: "common" for who? | 16:39 |
| ActionParsnip | LordThumper: if it works, why not | 16:39 |
| ActionParsnip | LordThumper: most users will want to remove the device physically, so eject is sensible. I can only think a few users will want to unmount but leave the device available | 16:40 |
| gordonjcp | LordThumper: under what normal combination of circumstances would you want to unmount the filesystem but leave the device active, for a *removable* device? | 16:40 |
| LordThumper | Yes but | 16:40 |
| gordonjcp | LordThumper: yes but nothing | 16:40 |
| LordThumper | Eject and Unmount where both available | 16:40 |
| ActionParsnip | LordThumper: its not common | 16:40 |
| LordThumper | In a previous build of Nautilus | 16:40 |
| LordThumper | Guess they removed it | 16:40 |
| ActionParsnip | LordThumper: you can add it with nautilus-scripts if you desire | 16:40 |
| gordonjcp | LordThumper: what GUI app uses an unmounted device? | 16:41 |
| LordThumper | Gparted | 16:41 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: i believe nautilus had it, but it was confusing users with 2 options for the same thing | 16:41 |
| LordThumper | But anyways, not blaming anyone, especially not anyone on this channel | 16:41 |
| gordonjcp | LordThumper: anyway it's an uncommon thing to do, way less common than "let me remove the drive" | 16:42 |

| Extreminador | gartral, ups lool sorry | 17:16 |
| gartral | Extreminador: to answer your question, yes, its built into linux and ut's si,ply called mount | 17:16 |
| Ari-Yang | Extreminador: Ithink there's a mount command for mounting ISOs... | 17:16 |
| Ari-Yang | Extreminador: I think it's mount -o loop disk1.iso /mnt/disk or something | 17:17 |
| Extreminador | but can we run directly the program/software ? | 17:17 |
| Ari-Yang | Extreminador: in terminal check out man mount or mount --help | 17:17 |
| Extreminador | and yehh there is a mount on the terminal indeed | 17:17 |
| OerHeks | https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/gisomount/ | 17:17 |
| Extreminador | i will check it Ari-Yang thanks | 17:18 |
| gartral | Extreminador: the usage would be mount -o loop /path/to/disk.iso 0t iso 9660 /path/to/folder/mount and yes you can run contained software | 17:18 |

| lotuspsychje | good evening to all | 17:22 |
| lotuspsychje | im looking for a candycrush alternative for ubuntu (like gweled) | 17:23 |
| Shane-S | I am trying to run apt-get upgrade and getting drive full error, when I did df -h , I see /dev/sda1 is 228M 228M 0 100% /boot, is there any easy way to expand that? | 17:24 |
| Rory | Shane-S: You can delete files | 17:25 |
| ramindia | ActionParsnip : u there | 17:25 |
| Rory | Shane-S: Can you please pastebin the output of "sudo df -h" | 17:25 |
| tor_ | anyone know why i lost sound through HDMI? it used to work but i think an update did some bad stuff. notice how HDMI seems active to the right but not present in the list to the left http://pbrd.co/1a83O45 | 17:25 |
| Shane-S | Can't copy from the VM console sadly, I need to enable copy and paste....waiting till 3 so I can shut down the server | 17:26 |
| TJ- | Shane-S: think the opposite way. Delete packages installed there. "/boot/" contains the linux kernels and associated files, which get upgraded quite often, leaving older unused versions in place. Someone else here can guide you to identifying the unused packages and removing them safely | 17:26 |
| Rory | !pastebinit | Shane-S | 17:26 |
| ubottu | Shane-S: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 17:26 |
| Rory | Shane-S: In the meantime, "sudo apt-get clean" | 17:26 |
| TJ- | Shane-S: start with "dpkg-query -l 'linux-image*' | grep '^ii' " which will list installed kernel images | 17:26 |
| dog-food | how do I make a wifi access point I have atheros usb wifi ? | 17:27 |
| Shane-S | Rory / TJ: ty | 17:27 |

| mudkip908 | kkragoth: press TAB a couple times | 17:29 |
| resno | im looking for suggestions about union filesystems i should look into. | 17:30 |
| TJ- | Shane-S: Does the VM have connectivity right now? if so check if pastebinit is installed ("apt-cache policy pastebinit"). If not, install it then you can paste command output directly using, for example, "dpkg-query -l 'linux-image*' | grep '^ii' | pastebinit" | 17:30 |
| === jorge_ is now known as jcastro_ | ||
| Shane-S | okay..it isn't I setup the machine | 17:30 |
| kkragoth | to multiple answers: i mean something like key shortcut that behaves as ls of the *a folder while still typing a command (not tab/ not | ls ~a ) | 17:31 |
| Shane-S | can I install it or do I need to clean up from of the /boot stuff first | 17:31 |
| Shane-S | apt-get clean didn't remove anything fyi, and I have the grep output in my face | 17:31 |
| TJ- | Shane-S: Yes, you can install it /boot/ isn't used for anything but the linux-image* packages | 17:31 |

| lotuspsychje | dog-food: this is ubuntu here mate | 17:41 |
| ezra-s | dandan_, yes | 17:41 |
| ezra-s | dandan_, there is one section for the drivers and there is another for wifi in general in a separate section... maybe you are missing one of the two | 17:42 |
| ezra-s | dandan_, which kernel version are you compiling? | 17:42 |
| MapsRus | >ubotto - so with sux, I can launch apps in sudo mode without going to the terminal to do so? | 17:43 |
| dandan_ | ezra-s: I am compiling kernel for Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I downloaded the source code, have the working toolchain, the kernel compiles fine, I enabled modules so that they compile also. But no wifi... | 17:43 |
| ezra-s | dandan_, I have no experience compiling for mobile phones, are you sure the kernel you have has the necessary drivers enabled? | 17:45 |
| Pici | dandan_: What does this have to do with Ubuntu? | 17:46 |
| ezra-s | dandan_, I believe the other sexion I was refering was where you can enable mac80211 support or similar, but don't know if that applies to your case | 17:46 |

| dandan_ | I was having trouble getting MAKE to work on ubuntu seemingly after I updated packages but it is working now. Sorry I don't want to clog this place with Android talk... | 17:47 |
| dandan_ | ezra-s: Yes there is an option for 80211 do I have to enable that? | 17:47 |
| Pici | dandan_: #android or #android-dev might be better places to ask your current questins. | 17:47 |
| lotuspsychje | MapsRus: no it works same way, opening terminal/ sux username firefox | 17:47 |

| ikonia | kallops: however you feel best | 18:25 |

| Rory | kallops: What virtualisation software will you be using? | 18:25 |
| delinquentme | are there any instances where an ubuntu code base should be looking for a .dll ... outside of a WINE application? | 18:25 |
| Rory | kallops: Generally just one big / partition is easiest and therefore best | 18:25 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | kallops: you can use LVs for VM storage. | 18:25 |
| Rory | delinquentme: Perhaps Mono? | 18:25 |
| kallops | ok thanks | 18:25 |

| Rory | jboii: Are you saying that your brightness will not go above 50% ? | 18:27 |
| Rory | kallops: Just / and swap | 18:27 |
| jboii | isnt that , that is not function , its just dim that happens when its stuck | 18:27 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | kallops: FWIW you might not need a swap partition at all, if this is a hypervisor | 18:27 |
| ikonia | not having a swap partition would be unwise | 18:28 |
| kostkon | jboii, that happens to frozen programs | 18:28 |
| kallops | I have 2gb ram, will upgrade in future to 16 | 18:28 |
| k1l | ikonia: depends on the ram and on the usecase. | 18:28 |
| kallops | hypervisor i guess | 18:28 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | ikonia: how so? Per-VM swap should be more flexible. | 18:29 |
| ikonia | k1l: I disagree | 18:29 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | And you can just swap on LV or an ext4 file. | 18:29 |
| ikonia | Eduard_Munteanu: per vm swap is based on disk and ram of the guest, which is actually based on disk and ram of the hypervisor, both for ram | 18:29 |
| ikonia | Eduard_Munteanu: so not having swap on the hypervisor to swap out idle work can have a negative impact on the guests | 18:29 |
| Bronze | hi, I've been trying out the new Ubuntu desktop, and I'm finding it problematic. I realize this is personal and subjective. I've been using UNIX since 1982 and I'm kind of technically oriented. I find that the menus are just too minimal to give me ready access to the things I'm looking for | 18:29 |

| gordonjcp | Bronze: or better still, which desktop environment are you most used to? | 18:30 |
| Bronze | kostkon: well I found some. :-) | 18:30 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | ikonia: mm, I'm not sure swapping out VM memory is a good idea. You can just use the KVM balloon driver to make memory scale according to needs. | 18:30 |
| jboii | apps that are stuck yea | 18:31 |
| k1l | ikonia: in this setup with vms i wold recommend a swap. but in my setup here on my laptop (where i dont use suspend and have 8gb ram) i dont need swap. | 18:31 |
| jboii | its like a pause | 18:31 |
| ikonia | k1l: I still disagree, having even a small swap area can be useful even if on paper you can run everything in ram | 18:31 |
| Bronze | gordonjcp: well I find most of the gnome-based GUI systems to be way too constraining and simplistic. I am used to the Red Hat-based systems and I have used Debian systems and knoppix and Ubuntu before. But this new generation of interface for Ubuntu has been so simplified that I can't find menus for administering the system. | 18:31 |

| gordonjcp | Bronze: so what DE were you sung in Redhat? | 18:32 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | ikonia: fair, I guess swapping on an ext4 file is a good compromise, though. It's easier to scale than a partition. | 18:32 |

| kostkon | Bronze, there is the system settings option up right by pressing the gear icon or searching in the dash | 18:33 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Partitions = headaches, generally. | 18:33 |
| gordonjcp | Bronze: I don't use menus for configuring anything, fwiw | 18:33 |
| gordonjcp | Bronze: oh, that's a lie, the network manager one is great for setting up wifi and VPNs, quite a time-saver | 18:33 |
| Bronze | gordonjcp: well personally I prefer to use the command line myself. But I don't always have enough knowledge for each distro | 18:33 |
| Rory | Bronze: Ctrl + Alt + T for getting a terminal | 18:33 |
| Bronze | I actually had to destroy the network manager and replace it with a script. | 18:34 |
| gordonjcp | Bronze: all the distros are all the same | 18:34 |
| Bronze | OK you just lost all credibility. | 18:34 |
| gordonjcp | Bronze: just as a matter of interest, what Unix were you using in 1982? | 18:34 |
| gordonjcp | Bronze: all *Unixes* are pretty much the same | 18:34 |
| Rory | Bronze: This is all getting a little #ubuntu-offtopic | 18:34 |
| gordonjcp | never mind Linux distros | 18:34 |
| Bronze | BSD, on sun workstation, and another Motorola-based system from Charles River data systems | 18:34 |
| gordonjcp | Bronze: so if you've used for example Knoppix you ought to cope with Lubuntu | 18:34 |
| Bronze | OK thank you. I'll move to another channel since we are off-topic | 18:35 |
| gordonjcp | Bronze: #ubuntu-offtopic would be good | 18:35 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Hm, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbDriveDoSomethingHowto doesn't quite cut it. The manual seems to warn against launching daemons or such stuff with RUN udev actions. Is there a better way, perhaps related to usbmount? | 18:36 |
| gordonjcp | Bronze: try "sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop" which will, uh, install lubuntu desktop | 18:36 |
| gordonjcp | Bronze: does what it says on the tin | 18:36 |
| Bronze | gordonjcp: that channel doesn't have enough menus :-) | 18:36 |
| gordonjcp | Bronze: that's pretty much going to be like Knoppix for you ;-) | 18:36 |

| kostkon | Caelum, yeah there is even an office suite that tries to look like ms office if you are interested | 18:40 |
| comodo_dragon | ms office is good | 18:42 |
| kostkon | Caelum, you could replace libreoffice with this http://wps-community.org/ | 18:42 |

| joshu_ | I have an employee who has complained about weird artefacts on her laptop over the past week and she sent me a photo http://cl.ly/image/3m321b3A2J1g I know it's difficult to say but I'm suspecting a hardware fault perhaps the graphics card. I'm picking up the laptop and running diagnostics during the weekend, but I thought I'd ask for opinions or how to check if it might be an Ubuntu issue. | 18:50 |
| === tor is now known as Guest99236 | ||
| Galvatron | My 12.04.3 (Nvidia drivers) completely ignores xorg.conf and takes display settings directly from monitors.xml and \I have no idea how to change it. | 18:51 |
| ikonia | joshu_: check her video card and the xorg modules being used, | 18:51 |
| ikonia | Galvatron: what settings are you trying to change in xorg.conf that's it's ignoring ? | 18:52 |
| joshu_ | ikonia for the video card when you say "check" you mean run HP diagnostics? for the xorg modules how and why would I do this? | 18:53 |
| ikonia | joshu_: no, I mean check what card is in there, then compare it against the xorg modules you're using and make sure it's the best option | 18:53 |
| Galvatron | ikonia: The resolution and refresh rate | 18:53 |
| ikonia | Galvatron: what makes you think it's ignoring it ? | 18:54 |
| joshu_ | ikonia so even if the laptop has been working fine for 2 months and the ubuntu OS has not been modified, the artefacts could still be a result of the xorg modules? | 18:54 |
| ikonia | joshu_: sure, updates to happen, and usage can change, | 18:54 |
| ikonia | joshu_: it's also possible there is a hardware problem too, just work the problem through | 18:54 |
| Galvatron | ikonia: They get back to the monitors.xml values each time I restart X | 18:55 |
| ikonia | Galvatron: that doesn't mean it's ignoring it, or using monitors.xml | 18:55 |
| ikonia | Galvatron: how are you setting the values ? | 18:55 |
| joshu_ | ikonia how do you compare the video card against the xorg modules? | 18:55 |
| Galvatron | ikonia: Through the Nvidia control panel | 18:55 |
| ikonia | joshu_: you look at what xorg modules are in use and check their supportability for the card you are using | 18:55 |
| Galvatron | I set them, save to xorg.conf reset X and I'm back on square one | 18:56 |
| ikonia | Galvatron: ok, so when you save the settings, are you %100 sure that xorg.conf is being updated (eg: it needs root privileges) check the datestamp on the file | 18:56 |
| joshu_ | ikonia right but what I don't understand is how you "look at what xorg modules are in use"? | 18:56 |
| ikonia | joshu_: check the log file | 18:56 |
| joshu_ | ok | 18:56 |
| Galvatron | ikonia: I'm absolutely sure | 18:57 |
| ikonia | Galvatron: how are you sure (I'm just understanding the problem) | 18:57 |
| joshu_ | ikonia thanks | 18:57 |
| pandaroot_ | which is efficient virtualization technology to use to deploy multiple system running different services ? | 18:57 |
| pandaroot_ | kvm or virtualbox ? | 18:57 |
| ikonia | pandaroot_: that's not a valid question | 18:57 |
| ikonia | pandaroot_: use which ever one you are comfortable using and which one meets your needs | 18:58 |
| pandaroot_ | ikonia, sorry | 18:58 |
| Galvatron | ikonia: For example, in monitors.xml I have 1152x864_75 and in xorg.conf I have 1024x768_85 and the NV panel displays the former value. | 18:59 |
| ikonia | Galvatron: that doesn't mean you are certain it's saving to xorg.conf | 18:59 |
| pandaroot_ | ikonia, in enterprise which one is used ? Currently i am setting up a local mirror and running webserver, so i want to virtualize those instances, on top of my ubuntu server. | 18:59 |
| Galvatron | I'm certain | 18:59 |
| TJ- | pandaroot_: You might want to consider Xen if you're considering running multiple OS instances on a single host | 18:59 |
| pandaroot_ | TJ-, ok | 19:00 |
| ikonia | pandaroot_: it's totlly up to you | 19:00 |
| ikonia | Galvatron: how are you certain | 19:00 |
| Galvatron | I can completely remove xorg.conf and the settings remain | 19:00 |
| BlazeFaia | Hey. I was wondering if it was possible to have Ubuntu not go into sleep mode upon shutting the laptop's lid from the login screen. If I log in and close the lid it works but from initially turning on the machine and closing the lid that doesn't work. | 19:00 |
| ikonia | Galvatron: that doesn't mean it's writing to the file - that means you've removed the file | 19:00 |
| Galvatron | ikonia: Gimme a sec | 19:00 |
| ikonia | Galvatron: just answer the question | 19:01 |
| ikonia | Galvatron: Its getting pretty tedious having to ask 3 times and you answering a different question | 19:01 |
| TJ- | pandaroot_: xen is a bare-metal hypervisor, rather than a full OS as with KVM and VirtualBox. LXC and OpenVZ are container-based and quite lightweight | 19:01 |
| jboii | can someone help me with apps stuck n dim display | 19:04 |
| Galvatron | ikonia: I'm usunf 1152x864 @ 75Hz. Using the NV panel I can change it to whatever value I want and save it to xorg.conf. After I restart X, the set value (i.e. 1024x768 @ 85Hz) remains in xorg.conf, but the screen is back to 1152x864 @ 75Hz and that's what the NV panel shows. | 19:04 |
| sammy | so i've got this /etc/default/grub http://paste.ubuntu.com/6210528/ which I thought would hide the grub menu unless someone pressed a button during the 1second timer, but it shows instead. what am I missing? | 19:04 |
| ikonia | Galvatron: that doesn't validate anything | 19:05 |
| trism | Galvatron: something must have changed on 12.04 recently, because the exact same thing happened to me yesterday, nvidia started reading xorg.conf then ignoring it and setting the default dual-monitor value | 19:05 |
| ikonia | Galvatron: check the date stamp on the file | 19:05 |
| trism | Galvatron: I gave up and ended up deleting xorg.conf and using xrandr to switch things, would be interested if you find a bug report or anything (I didn't in a quick search) | 19:05 |
| ikonia | a simple test would be to enable/disable the nvidia logo, in xorg.conf and see if it displays it / disables it | 19:06 |
| ikonia | nvlogo is the option I believe | 19:06 |
| trism | the problem I had was nothing changed in xorg/nvidia driver since last month but this just happened this weekend, kind of strange | 19:06 |
| === Guest99236 is now known as tor_ | ||
| pandaroot_ | TJ-, so first i will install xen on my machine and on top of it i will install the os ? | 19:07 |
| ikonia | pandaroot_: I suggest you do a LOT more research before going any futher | 19:07 |
| BlazeFaia | Anyone know of a solution to my query? | 19:08 |
| Galvatron | ikonia: I just changed the resolution, saved it to xorg.conf and the has changed: Modified: Tue 08 Oct 2013 09:06:42 PM CEST | 19:08 |
| Galvatron | So it definitely modifies the file | 19:08 |
| === lafiro is now known as Beothoric | ||
| ikonia | Galvatron: great, so my next suggestion was to enable/disable the nvidia logo to see if it's being used for configuration | 19:08 |

| Rory | repudiate: Every time you Google how to do something, and it works, you learned something | 19:18 |
| zykotick9 | repudiate: is this in Xorg (the gui) or linux-console the all text windows which are typically, F1-F6 (F7 being Xorg) | 19:18 |

| replicasex | Hey guys, thanks for running this IRC! I have a very small question about the Adwaita theme and using it in Ubuntu. It seems like there are weird errors sometimes where they'll be a black background for the tabs in nautilus and in open dialogues. Any ideas what's causing this? | 19:18 |
| trism | Galvatron: I think I might have figured it out, for me it seems it was bug 1236752 | 19:19 |
| ubottu | bug 1236752 in gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) "gnome-settings-daemon (3.4.2-0ubuntu0.6.3) breaks nvidia multi-monitor-config" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1236752 | 19:19 |

| repudiate | zykotick9: It's the linux console, I'm pretty sure. | 19:19 |
| trism | Galvatron: when I downgraded gnome-settings-daemon, xorg.conf was being used again...it must be gnome-settings-daemon overriding with xrandr | 19:19 |
| zykotick9 | repudiate: then try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" (i'm not sure how you can be "pretty sure") | 19:19 |

| Galvatron | trism: Thank you very much. I will definitely try it, though in my case it started after playing a Wine game through the Windows version of steam. | 19:22 |
| Galvatron | My suspicion it that Wine (1.7.1. stable from the PPA) might have messed someing up. | 19:22 |

| Wug | psycose: if the computer continues to fail to detect the drive, after doing things like moving it to a different SATA port, etc, the drive may be dead and need to be replaced | 19:23 |

| Galvatron | Yes | 19:24 |
| repudiate | Apparently, the font is Ubuntu Mono | 19:24 |
| zykotick9 | repudiate: if you are seeing a Profile Preferences this is NOT console, but an Xorg terminal... the configuration is different! | 19:24 |
| repudiate | zykotick9: oh | 19:24 |

| phil_ | hiho, I want to add a group to my current user, tried useradd -G groupname username, but it gives error user xy already exists | 19:51 |
| ikonia | Galvatron: ok, so it does parse the xorg.conf, what's in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d ? | 19:51 |
| phil_ | what am I doing wrong? | 19:51 |
| kostkon | Galvatron, nowdays you can run unity3d even without 3d acceleration using llvmpipe | 19:52 |

| ikonia | Galvatron: the only think of interest there is the loading of the nvidia module, which is not a bad thing | 19:59 |
| kostkon | Caelum, ;) | 19:59 |
| Galvatron | ikonia: But why it doesn't load vesa? | 20:01 |
| Galvatron | ikonia:: It might have to do with Unity/GNOME itself? | 20:01 |
| ikonia | Galvatron: it's not loading vesa as it's loading nvidia because it's detecting it - why it's not overwriding it I don't know, can you please pastebin your xorg.conf ? | 20:02 |

| Galvatron | All right, I will retry it | 20:06 |
| Rory | wizard_A: mv .ssh .ssh_old | 20:07 |
| ikonia | Galvatron: also where is the "nologo" option I asked you to use | 20:07 |
| wizard_A | and then, rm -f .ssh? | 20:07 |
| Rory | wizard_A: no, mv is "move" | 20:08 |
| Rory | wizard_A: You can rm if it instead of moving it, but moving it is in case you want it back | 20:08 |
| wizard_A | i meant after that. i already did that. | 20:08 |
| Rory | wizard_A: Well once you move .ssh to .ssh_old, .ssh doesn't exist any more so there's nothing to rm | 20:08 |

| Galvatron | Ikonia: Again, VESA hasn't loaded | 20:12 |
| ikonia | Galvatron: that is odd / frustrating | 20:12 |
| eer | ibekks, you mean I have to install postix or exim for example on my machine in order to be ablt to do that? | 20:12 |
| ikonia | Galvatron: maybe worth getting a bug logged, detailing this clearly | 20:12 |
| Galvatron | The OS doesn't care about xorg.care the least bit | 20:12 |

| nukleuz | Using bind by the way. | 20:13 |
| Galvatron | ikonia: The only "reaction" to the changes is some flickering of the Unity launcher | 20:13 |

| beeteecee | hey guys! my ubuntu 13.04 was lagging a bit and found this solution: http://askubuntu.com/questions/290913/ubuntu-running-slow-on-my-good-machine However, after I did this all my menus and launcher disappeared. I've tried many various ways to fix this (googled it) and nothing seems to work. I still get just my wallpaper when I log in. Any suggestions? | 20:24 |
| LiENUS | so I don't NEED a swap file but I want one just in case but i'd rather it be on my sdcard instead of the internal ssd, is there a way to get ubuntu to play friendly with removable swap? i added nofail to my fstab entry so if i boot up without it it should be fine but that doesnt help if it gets pulled and reinserted while its running (which with my swapiness set to 1 is generally safe) | 20:25 |
| LiENUS | and since my sd card isnt flush with the side of the laptop, possible | 20:25 |
| tozen | beeteecee: unity? | 20:25 |
| Wug | LiENUS: sounds like a great way to lose all of your work | 20:26 |
| beeteecee | tozen, tried everything with unity, enabled it. still no luck | 20:26 |
| Wug | how much ram do you have | 20:26 |
| LiENUS | Wug, 2gb | 20:26 |
| Rory | beeteecee: Can you switch to a different terminal with Ctrl+Alt+F1 and run the command: "sudo chown username: .Xauthority" - replacing username with your actual username | 20:26 |
| Wug | you're probably ok without swap | 20:26 |
| tozen | beeteecee: u r on unity? | 20:26 |
| LiENUS | Wug, yeah probably, but if i want to hibernate i need swap | 20:26 |
| === pandaroot_ is now known as pandaroot | ||
| LiENUS | also if im doing a lot of heavy work on my machine i might need swap (unlikely but possible) | 20:27 |
| beeteecee | tozen, mm.. I installed ubuntu 13.04 and didn't install any other stuff. so I guess I am | 20:27 |
| beeteecee | Rory, trying now | 20:27 |
| LiENUS | i suspect nofail and UUID instead of device paths is the best i'm going to get for ubuntu playing nice with 'removable swap' | 20:27 |
| LiENUS | i just wanted to make sure there isnt something more | 20:27 |
| tozen | beeteecee: try unity --replace | 20:27 |
| tozen | beeteecee: or dconf reset -f /org/compiz | 20:28 |
| LiENUS | i found when browsing imgur i kept having firefox just close and im curious if it isnt hitting a ram limit so i wanted to do that a bit and see if its getting killed from lack of swap heh | 20:29 |
| Rory | LiENUS: If you run Firefox from the terminal, do you see an error when it crashes? | 20:29 |
| LiENUS | Rory, havent tried | 20:29 |
| beeteecee | tozen, unity-panel-service: no process found | 20:29 |
| calimero_82 | hello | 20:29 |

| beeteecee | Rory, chown invalid spec: username: | 20:30 |
| Spec | D: | 20:30 |
| LiENUS | Rory, now to browse imgur for about an hour heh | 20:30 |
| tozen | beeteecee: sudo apt-get install --reinstall unity-services ?? | 20:31 |
| beeteecee | tozen, I think I've tried it. Trying again... | 20:31 |
| LiENUS | the best part is... this is going to end up a work machine i repaired and will eventually return to work when they replace my broken laptop so technically im getting paid to browse imgur "stress testing" | 20:31 |
| Rory | beeteecee: Please read my message! | 20:31 |
| tozen | sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ?? | 20:31 |
| Rory | beeteecee: Can you switch to a different terminal with Ctrl+Alt+F1 and run the command: "sudo chown username: .Xauthority" - replacing username with your actual username | 20:32 |
| beeteecee | Rory, sorry, doing that | 20:32 |
| calimero_82 | i've ubu 12.04, in the unity-bar there's a icon (http), what's its route? thanks | 20:32 |
| LiENUS | 2008 era laptop had a hd failure so i popped in a ssd and upgraded ram to 2gb heh | 20:32 |
| beeteecee | Rory, done | 20:32 |
| ryanw | Hi! How can I enable HiDPI in Ubuntu? Is it supported? | 20:33 |

| h00k | !6 | 20:34 |
| MrKB | Will it report it under system details? | 20:34 |
| tozen | beeteecee: unity --reset-icons ?? | 20:34 |

| giorgos | I am on 12.04 | 20:43 |

| wiak | their home is encrypted by their password | 20:43 |
| xtriz | kvm web based management that ubuntu supports ? | 20:43 |
| wiak | so even root cant see the data | 20:43 |
| wiak | xtriz vnc? | 20:44 |
| bekks | wiak: It is encrypted by a passphrase and the passphrase is encrypted with their password. | 20:44 |
| BooeyOH | bekks: so if I put test.txt in an encrypted home directory of user, and I, as another user do "sudo cat /home/otheruser/data.txt" and I see the contents of that file, does that mean it did not encrypt correctly? | 20:44 |
| wiak | or do you mean kvm the vizulation? | 20:44 |
| xtriz | wiak, no not through vnc | 20:44 |
| xtriz | some thing ilke webvirtmanager | 20:44 |
| xtriz | which ubuntu supports out of the box | 20:45 |
| bekks | BooeyOH: No. It did not even decrypt. :) | 20:45 |
| bekks | BooeyOH: Encryption is working correctly, you just never4 decrypt with sudo. | 20:45 |
| wiak | BooeyOH well the file has to be created by the user of the *encrypted* home | 20:45 |
| wiak | to be encrypted | 20:45 |
| BooeyOH | what if it is scp'd into the directory by the user | 20:45 |
| wiak | as far as i have understod | 20:45 |
| BooeyOH | (which is what I did) | 20:46 |
| bekks | wiak: Wrong. The file has to be created after the home is decrypted. No matter from whom. | 20:46 |
| bekks | BooeyOH: scp does not call a login shell. The home was left encrypted. | 20:46 |
| wiak | BooeyOH ask bekks, good luck | 20:46 |
| wiak | :P | 20:46 |
| wiak | xtriz there is a web gui for kvmm let me do some google fu | 20:47 |
| xtriz | wiak, i found out some, but wanted to know which one supports out of the box on ubuntu | 20:47 |
| bekks | wiak: either you use a webbrowser for googling, or for accessing a kvm interface like proxmox. | 20:47 |
| BooeyOH | bekks: ok, does this sound right? I scp'd file into using enctest user. I COULD see it with 'sudo cat [file]' while the enctest user was logged in, but as soon as the enctest user was logged out, I could not see it | 20:47 |
| bekks | BooeyOH: That sounds correct, yes. | 20:47 |

| wiak | but not sure it has vnc | 20:51 |

| eqwl | iam using irssi client | 21:15 |
| Dr_Willis | eqwl: if you mean does the IRSSI client have scrolling.. try pageup/pagedown, or shift pageup/down | 21:15 |
| k1l | eqwl: pageup doesnt work? | 21:15 |
| Dr_Willis | I perfer weechat to irssi these days ;) | 21:15 |
| eqwl | Dr_Willis k1l: Thanks :) | 21:16 |

| Dr_Willis | k1l: its also fairly well documented. :) | 21:17 |
| TJ- | Vialas: Wait until you're building a BIG project... then you'll want distcc and a bunch of networked builders | 21:17 |
| Dr_Willis | hmm.. i wonder if i set up distcc on my pcs. and my raspberry-pi if it will be able to cross compile for the pi properly | 21:18 |
| Dr_Willis | oh wait. the disrto on the pcs will be ubuntu, not rasbian.. that may be an issue | 21:18 |
| delinquentme | easiest way to get the IP for a given uRL? | 21:18 |
| Usernam | Hello, I need some help setting up an ubuntu desktop, the only trick is that I need my entire /home directory intact and it needs to start at night and be fully functional by the next morning | 21:18 |
| Dr_Willis | delinquentme: ping www.theurl.com | 21:19 |
| eqwl | I cant find my first message I wrote. why? | 21:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Usernam: clarify that a bit more please.. you just need the pc to auto power on at night time? | 21:19 |
| eqwl | hi anybody ali | 21:19 |
| eqwl | could anybody find this? | 21:19 |
| Dr_Willis | eqwl: find what? the history buffer is of a set size. | 21:20 |
| TJ- | Dr_Willis: Yes, you can use distcc for cross-compiling. I do. | 21:20 |
| Dr_Willis | TJ-: yea. but with differnt disrtos - that may be an issue? | 21:20 |
| Dr_Willis | took my pi like 5 hrs to compile Weechat the other day. ;) | 21:21 |
| Usernam | no, I need to install ubuntu (replacing my current linux distro) and it needs to be completely finished in the span of night. with my whole /home directory intact | 21:21 |

| Dr_Willis | Usernam: #1 tip - BACKUP your home just in case. | 21:21 |
| eqwl | Dr_Willis: that message I paste | 21:21 |
| eqwl | hi anybody ali | 21:21 |
| Vivekananda | Also I guess this is not the right place so please direct me to a good channel for this | 21:21 |
| eqwl | I paste this first. I cant find it | 21:21 |
| eqwl | wierd | 21:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Usernam: whats your current disrto? | 21:21 |
| Usernam | Dr_Willis: That the plan | 21:21 |
| Usernam | my current distro is fedora 18 | 21:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Usernam: a MAJOR issue will be that fedora by default i belive uses lvm. so you might have to backup your home to a nonlvm partion, or some other location and do a total repartion. | 21:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Usernam: some guys last week had issues 'un-lvming' their old redhat/fedors installs.. seems theres a 'lvmscan' and 'lvmremove' command that needs to be used to unlvm the partions so gparted can repartion them | 21:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Unless you want to use lvm in ubuntu. | 21:23 |
| Usernam | What if I backed it up remotely? I have an old crappy laptop that already has ubuntu on it. Would that work if I saved everything into tar archive and stashed it on there? | 21:25 |
| TJ- | Dr_Willis: It's usually "lvchange -an VG/LV" to inactivate the LV, and also if wanting to release the VG, "lvgchange -an VG" | 21:26 |
| eer | When I enter USB sticks they are not recognized anymore. Is there a way to restart the USB system without restarting the computer? | 21:26 |
| eqwl | what do you mean by "the history buffer is of a set size."? | 21:26 |
| Dr_Willis | TJ-: all i know about lvm was what i found for some guy last week. ;) on askubuntu.com he had aparently been fighting it for several days ;P | 21:27 |
| Dr_Willis | eqwl: its not unlimited. | 21:27 |
| Dr_Willis | eqwl: most likely its a few hunderd lines. | 21:28 |
| Dr_Willis | eqwl: and the channel history buffer is differnt than your command history. (on the up arrow key) | 21:28 |
| eqwl | Dr_Willis: okay then I should find it. it was maybe 5 min ago | 21:29 |
| eqwl | how do I start weechat after installing it? | 21:30 |
| Dr_Willis | 'weechat' is the command | 21:30 |
| TJ- | Dr_Willis: I've come to love LVM, makes working with volumes a breeze | 21:30 |
| giorgos | I managed to remove this message "Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" " by removing the libcanberra-gtk-module and libcanberra-gtk3-module | 21:30 |
| Dr_Willis | if using weechat - you DEFINATLY want to read the weechat docs. | 21:30 |
| eqwl | coudnt find the command thats why I asking | 21:30 |
| zykotick9 | eqwl: try UpArrow to scroll though what you've previously typed | 21:30 |
| sam113101 | eqwl: type weechat-curses in your terminal | 21:30 |
| Dr_Willis | TJ-: i skimmed some info about ZFS the other day.. seems if it could be used - it sort of makes lvm a bit redundant. :) but i dont use either one. | 21:30 |
| Dr_Willis | eqwl: tab completion :) i always do 'wee<tab>' | 21:31 |
| giorgos | however, this "symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: cairo_ft_font_options_substitute", keeps coming up and crashing GitEye | 21:31 |
| Dr_Willis | there is a qt weechat front end out it seems. but ive never used it. | 21:31 |
| sam113101 | curses it the best front-end | 21:32 |
| eqwl | nice client. almost like irssi but there is "users list" in weechat | 21:32 |
| eqwl | I like it | 21:32 |
| daninoz_ | hi guys, i just installed ubuntu and after that the drivers for my wireless card bcm43142 from the first answer from here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/289609/dell-3721-wifi-problem-ubuntu-13-04 , but when I'm not close to the router, the speed is really slow, what can i do? | 21:32 |
| Dr_Willis | eqwl: weechat has 10x the features of irssi | 21:32 |
| sam113101 | weechat also has sane defaults | 21:32 |
| eqwl | zykotick9: I did and I still cant find it :/ | 21:33 |
| Dr_Willis | eqwl: i turn off the user list. ;) its sort of useless in a channel with 1758 people | 21:33 |
| eqwl | Dr_Willis: Probably | 21:33 |
| eqwl | :) | 21:33 |
| Dr_Willis | i also got my weechat set where all the mode changes go to a differnt window. so i dont see all the ban floods and stuff. | 21:34 |
| Dr_Willis | even the 'names' printing to channel i got filtered out. | 21:34 |
| eqwl | Dr_Willis: what irc client is most used with linux? | 21:34 |
| Dr_Willis | eqwl: definatly check out the weechat docs. an the 'smart filters' section | 21:34 |
| Dr_Willis | eqwl: had to tell. xchat and irssi are the 2 common ones. | 21:34 |
| Dr_Willis | hard to tell. ;) | 21:34 |

| * themill glares at ubotto | 21:35 | |
| Dr_Willis | themill: :) might want to mention it in #ubuntu-ops | 21:35 |
| eqwl | Dr_Willis: okay :) I never know that you could write "wee"+TAB thanks for the advice | 21:36 |
| eqwl | sorry for my english btw | 21:36 |
| eer | Why does my USB stick show in the mountable Truecrypt devices but not under df -h ? | 21:36 |
| Dr_Willis | eqwl: thats a bash thing. ;) tab completion works in most areas onthe shell AND in weechat | 21:36 |
| Dr_Willis | !tab | 21:36 |
| ubottu | You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 21:36 |
| Dr_Willis | eqwl: also check out the /script (or was it /scripts) command in weechat. the latest vweechat has a script manager built in. I like the color-nick matches the text script | 21:37 |
| Dr_Willis | eqwl: and the iset script for setting differnt settings | 21:37 |
| TJ- | Dr_Willis: LVM isn't a file system, its a very flexible volume container (think flexible partitions) that can be RAIDed, striped, snapshot-ed, and needs formatting with a file-system. The best part of it for me is being able to resize an LV easily "lvresize -L +5G VG/LVname" then, say its ext4 file-system, "resize2fs /dev/mapper/VG-LVname" will do an online resize. | 21:37 |
| eqwl | Dr_Willis: okay. is it only ubuntu that support command like "wee+TAB"? | 21:38 |
| Dr_Willis | TJ-: dosent mean much to me. :) i stick to simple setups. in the last week thees been like 5 people in here (or the same guy with differnt nicks) trying to remove a redhat/fedora system | 21:38 |
| Dr_Willis | eqwl: its a BASH feature | 21:38 |
| zykotick9 | eer: df only shows what IS already mounted. | 21:38 |
| Dr_Willis | eqwl: check out 'bash completion' guides and docs online. for how it works | 21:38 |
| eer | zykotick9, thx | 21:38 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu has one of the most complete bash-completion setups ive seen | 21:39 |
| Armadillos | All my systems are running LVM | 21:40 |
| eqwl | Dr_Willis: okay | 21:41 |

| thunder_ | okay txdv | 22:26 |
| thunder_ | are you using the correct credentials? | 22:26 |
| Jordan_U | txdv: If it doesn't complain about the username or password being wrong then most likely what's happening is that the desktop session is failing to load. That is usually caused by graphics driver issues or a bad image, neither of which will change by using different tools to load the image onto a USB drive. | 22:26 |
| thunder_ | i had that problem | 22:27 |
| thunder_ | i had to kill xsession | 22:27 |
| txdv | Jordan_U: it does say that the password is invalid | 22:28 |

| edran | Hello everybody. I need some help with a nasty laptop. I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a Gateway NV52L15u and I can't disable secureboot in the UEFI, because apparently it's locked. I've looked on the internet but I haven't found a way to disable it (I've already got a USB ready with 13.04). Does anybody know how to get rid of the bloody thing? | 22:40 |
| wheatthin | someking, lspci -v should tell you I believe | 22:40 |
| zohan | how about install nvidia geforce driver on ubuntu 12.04, my laptop is asus a43sd thx ???? | 22:41 |
| wheatthin | zohan, simple.. sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 22:41 |
| someking | wheatthin: it's bgn | 22:41 |
| zohan | exusme it's nvidia geforce 610m | 22:41 |
| zohan | then ... | 22:41 |
| zohan | how about test its | 22:41 |
| wheatthin | zohan, it's best to do the install and read. Perhaps the installer will give you a clue. | 22:42 |
| zohan | i already install the nvidia current, then what can I do for use my nvidia ? | 22:43 |
| zohan | please help me? | 22:43 |
| Snake2k | Hey guys, I need help with installing ubuntu 12.04, I'm installing via USB, I selected the 'Alongside windows thing' then it started copying files and asked me for stuff like username etc, after that was done and it was still copying, ubuntu had a kernel panic, now I get a black screen after continuing from the page before the ubuntu installation type selection. | 22:43 |

| cariveri | Hi. why does upping the network interface assigns the original ip instead of the one I intended? | 22:45 |
| Rory | Snake2k: Sounds like either the .iso file was corrupted, or it got corrupted while copying to the USB stick | 22:45 |
| Rory | !md5 | Snake2k | 22:45 |
| ubottu | Snake2k: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 22:45 |
| codephobic | hello | 22:45 |
| Snake2k | Rory: thanks I'll verify it :-) | 22:45 |
| codephobic | I think I've found a couple of strange "quirks" with gedit. | 22:46 |
| Rory | Snake2k: Then when you go to do the installation again, choose Custom partitioning. You will see two partitions, one ext4 and one swap. Use these for your "/" and "swap" partitions respectively | 22:47 |
| codephobic | when I launch the "open file" window, deep into a file structure, I find the folder chain thing keeps jumping about | 22:47 |
| codephobic | it makes it impossible to save or open a document, as a result. | 22:47 |
| codephobic | anyone experienced this? | 22:48 |
| jmknsd | my desktop just locked up, how do I find out what caused it? | 22:48 |

| Diamondcite | raven_: is skype and chrome going through pulse audio? Or using direct access via Alsa? | 23:03 |
| raven_ | diamondcite how do I find that out | 23:04 |
| chowder | popeye22: are you looking for a graphical program to do that? Normally when I want to save something from any webpage I just right click and download it. | 23:04 |
| Diamondcite | raven_: Supposedly, if you open up sound properties, it should show which app is trying to use sound right now. if you hear sound, but don't see the app there, then it's avoiding pulse audio. | 23:04 |

| wilee-nilee | chowder, There are specific ubuntu channels none are rated by skill levels. | 23:20 |
| raven_ | wilee-nilee! You're on here a lot aren't you | 23:20 |
| wilee-nilee | and what's you definition of advanced anyway, lol | 23:21 |
| wilee-nilee | raven_, way to much. ;) | 23:21 |
| raven_ | wilee-nilee care to help me with my problems? | 23:21 |
| chowder | wilee-nilee: well if one of the Ubuntu channels was for developers it would imply that the people there have a deeper understanding of the OS | 23:22 |
| === Wug[Hyperspace] is now known as Wug | ||
| chowder | wilee-nilee: that's what I'm asking. Not if one of the channels is specifically labeled "*buntu-experts channel" | 23:22 |
| wilee-nilee | raven_, If I see you post and I think I have an answer I will post right now I'm just on the channel doing some other things is all. | 23:22 |
| raven_ | While in a Skype call, any application that tries to play music stays at 00:00. Additionally there is no sound coming from Chrome when playing YouTube videos, etc. But only when in a Skype call. Pavucontrol does not identify Skype at all. | 23:23 |
| monkeyjuice | chowder: #ubuntu+1 | 23:23 |
| chowder | monkeyjuice: thank you | 23:23 |
| wilee-nilee | chowder, I believe there is a developers channel, but I think it is by invitation, many on al these channels are at that level, but need not advertise it. | 23:23 |

| chowder | wilee-nilee: yeah I'm aware of how IRC works. I just have an issue getting Xen running | 23:24 |
| wilee-nilee | raven_, I will say though that I use my W8/XP/ and W7 setups for windows stuff and linux for linux, some things run better in each, they are all OS's to me, I just happened to start with open source originally | 23:25 |
| wilee-nilee | chowder, You well aware, yet you ask questions than respond in a aggressive manner, isn't that special. | 23:26 |
| raven_ | wilee-nilee are you sure you meant to direct that at me? | 23:26 |
| kd5tkc | I come across the same... Linux is all my desktops OS but there are some applications that are better run on windows | 23:26 |
| raven_ | wilee-nilee you're saying that skype just won't run well in linux | 23:26 |
| chowder | wilee-nilee: you're useless. | 23:26 |
| wilee-nilee | raven_, Yes, for example I would not bother with skype in linux, it runs great in windows, is all I basically meant, they own it now. | 23:27 |
| kostkon | raven_, skype runs fine on linux | 23:27 |
| kd5tkc | EX, a old game called CIVILITION cant seem to get it to run properly in wine | 23:27 |
| kd5tkc | CIVILIZATION | 23:27 |
| kd5tkc | sorry | 23:27 |
| raven_ | kostkon I can agree that it does, it ran fine under Mint 13. I just switched to Ubuntu 12.04 and only now do I have problems | 23:27 |
| wilee-nilee | ease of travel, not an argument of compatibility, is my point | 23:28 |
| chowder | raven_: I run skype in Linux. The issue may be with the sound card you're using or the driver. | 23:28 |
| kostkon | raven_, im not sure why skype is blocking audio, it should work fine. | 23:28 |
| kd5tkc | skype runs fine on my linux system | 23:29 |

| raven_ | kostkon I think I've got it | 23:34 |
| kostkon | raven_, plase do share | 23:34 |
| raven_ | kostkon skype is accessing alsa directly and blocking pulse | 23:34 |
| raven_ | as soon as I end a skype call the music starts playing | 23:35 |
| kostkon | raven_, why is that. it shouldn't be doing that | 23:35 |
| kostkon | raven_, how did you install skype | 23:35 |
| raven_ | kostkon I installed via skype's website | 23:35 |
| raven_ | the .deb | 23:35 |
| raven_ | it isn't in the repos | 23:35 |
| trism | Scunizi: maybe grads ? just from a quick search | 23:36 |
| kostkon | raven_, it is. you just need to enable the partner repo | 23:36 |
| trism | !info grads | 23:36 |

| raven_ | kostkon how do I do that | 23:36 |
| kostkon | raven_, did you download the 12.04 multiarch deb? | 23:36 |
| raven_ | kostkon yes | 23:36 |
| kostkon | raven_, ok just checking | 23:37 |
| Scunizi | chowder trism I've been using google and following links for a couple of hours.. there's lots of reference but nothing that describes how to or with what to create a shapefile.. frustrating. I was hoping someone else had attempted this. | 23:37 |
| raven_ | kostkon let me do a full reinstall. How do I remove everything involved with skype | 23:37 |
| raven_ | do I do sudo apt-get purge skype | 23:37 |
| trism | Scunizi: I only mentioned grads because I did an apt-file search from shapefiles and found: /usr/share/doc/grads/html/shapefiles.html in the grads package | 23:38 |
| kostkon | raven_, open the software centre, search for skype and remove it. then from the menu, select edit -> software sources and in the 3rd part software tab and enable the partner repo | 23:38 |
| trism | Scunizi: and the description sounded about right | 23:38 |
| raven_ | kostkon when I open the software center and search for skype it isn't there | 23:38 |
| kostkon | raven_, in terminal give: apt-cache policy skype | 23:39 |
| raven_ | kostkon PM'd you the output | 23:39 |
| Scunizi | trism: I see that now.. however it looks like it's for viewing a dataset and not creating one. I'm trying to create a map overlay showing a shaded area or several shaded areas | 23:40 |
| chowder | Scunizi: sorry. I have no experience with the program you mentioned. | 23:41 |
| Scunizi | chowder: no worries.. thanks | 23:42 |
| raven_ | kostkon I purged skype and enabled partner apps but it still doesn't show up in ubu software center | 23:43 |
| kostkon | raven_, try giving first a: sudo apt-get update | 23:43 |
