| edge226 | what kernel does ubuntu 12.04 come with? | 00:18 |
| Ben64 | newer installs of 12.04 have raring's kernel | 00:18 |
| edge226 | Ben64: which means? | 00:19 |
| Ben64 | which means the answer to your question is "it depends" | 00:19 |
| cjwelborn | i have the latest update on raring and i'm on 3.11 , but you may not be. (i downloaded the dev version) | 00:20 |
| edge226 | Ben64: well which one comes on the livecd? | 00:20 |
| Ben64 | 12.04.what | 00:21 |
| edge226 | 12.04.3 | 00:21 |
| Ben64 | i'd imagine it'd be raring's kernel on there then.. | 00:21 |

| acidrainjr | hello does anyone know what chat room to go to for support on sparkylinux | 00:23 |
| OerHeks | only with backports i think, Ben64 | 00:23 |
| kostkon | OerHeks, nope | 00:23 |
| kostkon | OerHeks, 12.04.3 iso comes with raring stack | 00:23 |
| wilee-nilee | acidrainjr, I don't see a specific chanel ##linux is a general channel if you are registered. | 00:24 |
| OerHeks | acidrainjr, http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/?chat=sparky | 00:26 |
| acidrainjr | well there are certian rooms for the distros and i need to find one for sparkylinux | 00:26 |
| wilee-nilee | acidrainjr, look on the web | 00:26 |
| edge226 | acidrainjr: check there site, it may be on another IRC server. | 00:27 |
| Ben64 | acidrainjr: well its not #ubuntu , maybe you shouldn't use a distro so small if you need specific support | 00:27 |
| PimpSmurf | I am in heap big doo doo. I made a backup of an lv snapshot of my root folder and my /boot (which seems to have been in root anyway) | 00:27 |
| qin | acidrainjr: http://sparkylinux.org/forum/ ask there? | 00:28 |
| PimpSmurf | I'm trying to restore grub so I can boot but when I try and reboot, it drops me to a grub partition and I can't type "boot" because it says I need a kernel. | 00:28 |
| acidrainjr | well its just one problem im having the rst i was able to fix but this idk how | 00:28 |
| PimpSmurf | Was I suppose to DD the /dev/sda1 boot partition (the ~256M partition)? Is there any way for me to recover? | 00:28 |
| wilee-nilee | PimpSmurf, if it was the boot partition yes | 00:28 |
| Jordan_U | PimpSmurf: You should never use dd to try to restore grub. What guide were you following? | 00:29 |
| PimpSmurf | by boot partition, do you mean /boot or something else? I have /boot. I don't have something else. | 00:29 |
| Jordan_U | wilee-nilee: You should never use dd to try to restore grub. Use grub-install to install grub. | 00:29 |
| Ben64 | Jordan_U: not always true, you can back up the mbr and restore it using dd | 00:29 |
| PimpSmurf | Jordan_U: I'm talking about dd if=/dev/sda1 of=boot-backup.bin | 00:29 |

| xirre | If a filetype on Ubuntu has no file extension, can it be a security risk still? (In terms of viruses and other bad things) | 00:30 |
| PimpSmurf | I have the partitions recreated and the root filesystem untar'd, but I can't get grub to boot after doing a chroot update-grub | 00:30 |
| wilee-nilee | Jordan_U, I know the answer was should they have copied the sda1, at 256 MB looks like a boot partition is all. | 00:30 |
| Dr_Willis | xirre: in general linux dosent care about the extensions at all. | 00:30 |
| Jordan_U | wilee-nilee: That is not the answer. | 00:30 |
| Dr_Willis | xirre: i dont see why it would be 'more' of a security risk at all | 00:31 |
| PimpSmurf | xirre: yes a program or other executable could have no extention at all | 00:31 |
| PimpSmurf | xirre: or could be called .txt or .avi if you are in a shell. don't execute untrusted programs, no matter their extention. | 00:31 |
| edge226 | where are the checksums for the images? | 00:31 |
| Ben64 | !md5 | edge226 | 00:31 |
| ubottu | edge226: 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 | 00:31 |
| Dr_Willis | wine is setup to double check that that any windows.exe has the executable bit as a 'slight' bit of added security | 00:32 |
| Jordan_U | PimpSmurf: This method is the most reliable and least prone to user error: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot | 00:32 |
| wilee-nilee | Jordan_U, Mine was a general answer I made only one, I know grub, it was directed at if you save a OS you should save all of it, I did not say this was a grub recovery answer. | 00:32 |
| Jordan_U | PimpSmurf: You backed up the wrong sector (should have been the MBR), but even then, the best way to install grub is via grub-install, not by backing up boot sectors as there are many factors that need to be taken into account (possible changed partition numbering and writes to the embedding area among them). | 00:33 |
| wilee-nilee | PimpSmurf, follow Jordan_U they are the one of the best at this stuff. | 00:34 |
| xirre | Is there anyway to lock off a folder from the rest of the computer? So that all files in there can only access specific programs? | 00:34 |
| Jordan_U | xirre: You mean can only be accessed by other programs? | 00:35 |
| PimpSmurf | Jordan_U: I'll give it one more shot. I did most of that. I'm installing to a raid virtual drive so I'm not sure if that changes things. | 00:35 |
| xirre | Here's a scenario. | 00:35 |
| Jordan_U | PimpSmurf: What do you mean by "virtual drive"? Is this FakeRAID, MDRAID, or Hardware Raid? Are you using a virtual machine or bare metal? | 00:36 |

| xirre | I have a program that wants to access the root folder. But its files that it wants to access are in /home/user/ProgramFIles/application.ext . So it doesn't really need to go browsing through root. It just needs to only be able to check ProgramFiles. | 00:37 |
| xirre | How do I make all the applications in that folder only have the ability to view/access certain contents? Kind of like a way from preventing a program from wiping your hard drive or going into private sections of your hard drive to retrieve important data. | 00:38 |
| Jordan_U | xirre: What do you mean by "wants to access the root folder"? What program is this? What is your end goal? | 00:38 |
| xirre | To enclose off a folder so the applications in it don't harm my computer (Because it's someone elses folder.) | 00:39 |
| xirre | Like how non administrative users can't view root! That's a good example. | 00:39 |

| ubottu | xirre: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 00:40 |
| Dr_Willis | xirre: learn the basic permissions system., then if you need finer control theres the ACL stuff. (which i never really use) | 00:41 |
| Dr_Willis | !acl | 00:41 |
| Dr_Willis | not even sure what factoid is for it. if any | 00:41 |

| blackkitty | The touchpad for a lenovo x230 was working after an install of 12.04 x64, but after an update and reboot, the touchpad stopped working. I have tried downgrading to an older kernel (3.2.something from 3.5.0-23-generic) but that didn't work. gpointing-device-settings does not have the 'disable' checkbox set (so it should be enabled). Any suggestions on how to enable this touchpad? Any suggestions on where to look or what else to do? | 00:41 |
| xirre | DreamDaemon - I'm using it to run servers. Why? | 00:41 |
| wilee-nilee | blackkitty, Did the update include a kernel, and if so have you tried the one that worked from the grub menu? | 00:42 |
| xirre | Users can upload their files but currently I'm only allowing 4 file types. .dmb .rsc .txt and .sav | 00:42 |
| xirre | I want to allow them to do what they want with it while also not putting myself at risk. | 00:42 |
| xirre | And in terms of file permissions, that involves chmod right? | 00:42 |
| blackkitty | wilee-nilee, yes, sorry. I forget which exactly were installed (I can check if you like) but they were both 3.2.something and I booted into them both without success | 00:43 |
| blackkitty | (There were two different 3.2.somthing kernels installed) | 00:43 |
| wilee-nilee | blackkitty, Cool, saying a update and "something" is rather vague is all, have you looked on askubuntu for answers? | 00:45 |
| Jordan_U | xirre: If you're allowing them to upload files which are in an area where they might be executed by any user other than themselves you have big security issues already, which are not helped by your limit on extentions / file types. | 00:45 |
| comodo_dragon | bocaneri | 00:46 |

| Jordan_U | xirre: If you're only allowing them to upload files to their own home directory, and they're unpriviliged users, then you're fine. | 00:46 |
| xirre | This is how it works.. | 00:46 |
| PimpSmurf | Jordan_U: My bios boot partition wasn't set to the correct type =*( | 00:47 |

| xirre | In World Control is a foldr named Servers | 00:47 |
| Jordan_U | PimpSmurf: You're welcome. | 00:47 |
| xirre | In servers are their usernames. | 00:47 |
| xirre | And in their username folder are their folders of the servers they want hosted. | 00:47 |
| wilee-nilee | blackkitty, Is that your post? | 00:47 |
| xirre | In those folders are their files. | 00:47 |
| xirre | I need to lock off their Usernames folder. | 00:48 |
| Jordan_U | xirre: Then you're done as far as the uploading of files goes, now you should concentrate on ensuring that these users really are properly isolated and unable to access things they shouldn't have access to. | 00:48 |
| Jordan_U | xirre: Don't think about locking their home directory, think about restricting their permissions and abilities as users. | 00:48 |
| xirre | That's where I need help with. Been looking around a lot lately on how to put a wall on each folder. | 00:48 |
| Jordan_U | xirre: Do you understand the difference? | 00:50 |
| SteveH_ | I clobbered myself by not thinking thru a rm -r /var/lib/* command. I reinstalled 12.04, and have slowly built back up. However, my Unity sidebar has a problem whereby some of the icons do not show. The pop-out names are there, but no icon. Missing icons include terminal, BackinTime, Workspace Switcher, System Monitor and Trash. They work, but are invisible. | 00:50 |
| blackkitty | wilee-nilee, no. 3.2.0-23-generic and 3.2.0-35-generic are the ones I tried | 00:50 |
| xirre | Difference betweeen? | 00:50 |
| xirre | Locking and restricting? | 00:50 |
| Jordan_U | xirre: The difference between trying to "restrict their home directory" (which doesn't make much sense) and trying to restrict their users. | 00:51 |
| wilee-nilee | 's stuffblackkitty, Use with caution, but here is a lenovo PPA, if you are not served by this you can use ppa-purge to remove it and all it's part generally. https://launchpad.net/~jamesf/+archive/lenovofixes | 00:52 |
| wilee-nilee | blackkitty, Above for you the copy paste put letters before you nick is all | 00:53 |
| xirre | Not really. They still need to be able to create their own files in their folder. I was thinking about preventing the write function with chmod but.. I think that would prevent them from writing inside their own folder.. | 00:53 |
| wilee-nilee | blackkitty, In general I am seeing people not happy with that trackpad in multiple OS's on the web. | 00:54 |

| blackkitty | wilee-nilee, this is a single boot system. How do I add the ppa and then grab the appropriate packages? | 00:54 |

| Martinlemaitre | but the install button isnt working.. | 01:05 |
| pepee | you didn't need to download anything | 01:05 |

| Martinlemaitre | pepee nothing happened | 01:14 |
| pepee | Martinlemaitre, pressed enter? | 01:14 |

| pepee | now type: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer | 01:14 |
| pepee | exactly as shown, include the && | 01:14 |
| Martinlemaitre | yeah but nothing happened | 01:15 |
| morten771 | my daemon.log and syslog.1 have thousands of those lines now and are half a gig each :( | 01:15 |

| pepee | that's OK | 01:16 |
| Martinlemaitre | thats hte last two lines | 01:16 |
| morten771 | I think adding a line "size 64M" into my /etc/logrotate.conf should prevent any logfile from becoming more than 64 MB, do I have to run a command to activate the change or can I simply restart the computer? | 01:17 |
| pepee | Martinlemaitre, now type (or copy and paste): sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer | 01:17 |

| Martinlemaitre | http://pastebin.com/3gAXKSKz | 01:27 |
| mdkwlan | Do you have another update running in the background? | 01:27 |
| Martinlemaitre | ya eclipse | 01:27 |
| Martinlemaitre | well its done now | 01:27 |
| mdkwlan | That would be why | 01:28 |
| mdkwlan | apt can only be used once at a time | 01:28 |
| Martinlemaitre | but it was on the software center | 01:28 |
| pepee | and it installed java... | 01:29 |
| pepee | IIRC it should configure itself | 01:29 |
| Martinlemaitre | i did openJDK first | 01:29 |
| pepee | just open eclipse | 01:29 |
| Martinlemaitre | tha code u gave before works | 01:29 |
| Martinlemaitre | im agreeing to some oracle shit | 01:29 |
| pepee | nooo, it's already installed | 01:30 |
| Martinlemaitre | u fuck | 01:30 |
| pepee | ah kk | 01:30 |
| Martinlemaitre | im at 40% | 01:30 |
| Martinlemaitre | its goin gup 2% | 01:30 |
| Martinlemaitre | every line | 01:30 |
| pepee | it's ok, I guess you are installing jdk 6 | 01:30 |
| mdkwlan | What are you trying to do Martinlemaitre ? | 01:30 |
| Martinlemaitre | i want jdk 7 | 01:30 |
| Martinlemaitre | what | 01:30 |
| Martinlemaitre | i dont want jdk 6 | 01:30 |
| mdkwlan | sec | 01:30 |
| Martinlemaitre | pepee is trolling me into deleting system32 | 01:30 |
| mdkwlan | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKzUzo21vDk | 01:30 |
| pepee | daf... | 01:30 |
| Martinlemaitre | its done | 01:30 |
| Martinlemaitre | i been trying to install this java for 30 mins now | 01:31 |
| Martinlemaitre | and been going in circles | 01:31 |
| mdkwlan | It's really not that hard | 01:31 |
| mdkwlan | it's like 3 commands | 01:31 |
| pepee | well, congrats, you just learned how to use the terminal and how to install programs from it | 01:31 |
| Martinlemaitre | i dint learn anyting | 01:31 |
| pepee | and also, how to use the package manager | 01:31 |
| Martinlemaitre | package manager? | 01:31 |
| mdkwlan | apt = package manager | 01:32 |
| pepee | you need to learn how to get calm now | 01:32 |
| fahadash | lol | 01:32 |
| Martinlemaitre | calm? | 01:32 |
| xbhya | is there a way to include the path to a shared object file when you run an executable? The executable is in the same directory as the .so file, but running it says "No such file or directory" | 01:32 |
| mdkwlan | Google would have been faster | 01:32 |
| Martinlemaitre | u know in windows i can install java in 1 minutes | 01:32 |
| mdkwlan | Then go back to windows. | 01:32 |
| pepee | mdkwlan, he's just impatient | 01:32 |
| mdkwlan | So i've seen. | 01:32 |
| fahadash | Martinlemaitre: 5 minutes is what it takes to launch eclipse in windows. | 01:33 |
| morten771 | who wanted to know how to use the package manager? | 01:33 |
| mdkwlan | No one. He didn't understand what it was. | 01:33 |
| morten771 | xbhya: so that program absolutely wants the shared object file to be in /lib/ or something or? | 01:34 |
| fahadash | Martinlemaitre: Linux community encourages you to Google and Read... Microsoft encourages you to call PSS Support and pay $250 to get jdk installed on windows | 01:34 |
| chase | hi | 01:34 |
| mdkwlan | Implying Ubuntu is hard to install anything. My word you may as well go back to windows if you think that. | 01:34 |
| Martinlemaitre | oh look | 01:34 |
| Martinlemaitre | i run eclipse, ERROR! | 01:34 |
| Martinlemaitre | Thanks ubuntu! | 01:34 |
| pepee | lol | 01:35 |
| chase | hey i just installed unbuntu studio and delete windows i am currently trying to install diablo usuing wine but i get a error | 01:35 |
| pepee | Martinlemaitre, just click "ok" | 01:35 |
| Martinlemaitre | i did, it closes | 01:35 |
| mdkwlan | Clearly it's ubuntu and not your incompetence | 01:35 |
| Martinlemaitre | obviously | 01:35 |
| fahadash | lol | 01:35 |
| Martinlemaitre | sinc ei just installed it from the software centre | 01:35 |
| Martinlemaitre | had 0 room for human error | 01:35 |
| Martinlemaitre | and it still doesnt work | 01:35 |
| FloodBot1 | Martinlemaitre: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:35 |
| pepee | Martinlemaitre, post the error message in pastebin | 01:35 |
| fahadash | I know a 12 yo who installs packages on ubuntu without a problem | 01:35 |
| morten771 | chase I think you can check winedb to see if there is something special you could do when running diablo perhaps | 01:36 |
| Martinlemaitre | says to check the log file in some directory i have no idea how to access | 01:36 |
| mdkwlan | Go try gentoo and tell me how bad ubuntu is again. | 01:36 |
| pepee | chase, did you check in appdb.winehq.org for compatibility ? | 01:36 |
| daftykins | Martinlemaitre: since you don't appear to be experienced with Java development, you may have neglected to install the oracle JDK in place of the OpenJDK before installing Eclipse. | 01:36 |
| mdkwlan | because running three commands that you can copy and paste into terminal is so god damn hard. | 01:36 |
| morten771 | Martinlemaitre: what logfile do it want you to see? | 01:36 |
| Martinlemaitre | the freaking directory they link me | 01:36 |
| Martinlemaitre | i cant even fcking access? | 01:36 |
| Martinlemaitre | sigh | 01:37 |
| daftykins | Martinlemaitre: tone down the language or you'll have to be shown the door. | 01:37 |
| fahadash | mdkwlan: lol | 01:37 |
| fahadash | Martinlemaitre: Why you can't access certain directory ? Don't you have root access ? | 01:37 |
| mdkwlan | Forgot going from ctrl + c and OH NO! ctrl + shift + v so hard. | 01:37 |
| Martinlemaitre | this is literally pissing me off | 01:37 |
| Martinlemaitre | it says home/martin/.eclipse | 01:38 |
| Martinlemaitre | i click on the folder | 01:38 |
| Martinlemaitre | click home | 01:38 |
| Martinlemaitre | NO MARTIN FOLDER! | 01:38 |
| FloodBot1 | Martinlemaitre: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:38 |
| fahadash | Martinlemaitre: In terminal type 'cat /home/martin/.eclipse' | 01:38 |
| mdkwlan | There are other IDEs that you can use | 01:39 |
| daftykins | Martinlemaitre: what did i tell you about your language? | 01:40 |
| Martinlemaitre | this is AWFUL | 01:40 |
| daftykins | now if you want some further help, develop some manners | 01:40 |

| Martinlemaitre | this is so god dman stressful | 01:42 |
| Martinlemaitre | u dont understand | 01:42 |
| morten771 | Martinlemaitre: a "mount point" is where a harddisk or usbstick or whatever will be found in the files... in windows they is normally called things like C: or D: instead | 01:42 |
| chase | alright thaanks | 01:42 |
| pepee | chase, google shows errors related to battle.net | 01:42 |
| mdkwlan | It took about 2 mins to install for my on my ubuntu box. He's making a moutain out of a damn mole hill. | 01:42 |
| Martinlemaitre | YEah morten..im trying to find a drive to mount but i cant find one | 01:43 |
| Martinlemaitre | how do i just run an iso if it asks me for a mount point | 01:43 |
| pepee | Martinlemaitre, why don't you just fix eclipse? | 01:43 |
| morten771 | Martinlemaitre: aha you want to look at the files inside an .iso file? | 01:43 |
| Martinlemaitre | fix eclipse how? | 01:43 |
| Martinlemaitre | no i want to run the damn iso | 01:43 |
| cjwelborn | Martin, you have a Windows 7 iso that you want to install? You need to burn it to a disk or usb. | 01:43 |
| pepee | it could be as easy as running two commands.. | 01:43 |
| wilee-nilee | chase, #winehq actually | 01:43 |
| fahadash | I think he is CEO of Canonical just testing Ubuntu support community's patience to figure out how successful he is. | 01:44 |
| Martinlemaitre | why the hell would i need to burn it? cant i juts run it? | 01:44 |
| daftykins | *sigh* | 01:44 |
| Martinlemaitre | pepee | 01:44 |
| mdkwlan | Please go back to windows. | 01:44 |
| Martinlemaitre | i cant get to the folder.. | 01:44 |
| cjwelborn | Run a Windows Installer on Ubuntu? ... just burn it. | 01:44 |
| Martinlemaitre | An error has occurred. See the log file /home/martin/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.7.0_155965261/configuration/1381282597500.log. | 01:44 |

| Ari-Yang | oh | 01:45 |
| xbhya | morten771: least documented program ever. Came with a .so file and the executable, but your question caused me to randomly stumble on a google solution: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/67781/use-shared-libraries-in-usr-local-lib thanks | 01:45 |
| daftykins | nice work floodbot | 01:45 |
| mdkwlan | Ty FloodBot2 <3 | 01:45 |
| Ari-Yang | and here I was going to link him to a simple guide :| | 01:45 |
| daftykins | now you guys should NOT have been encouraging a blatant troll | 01:45 |
| mdkwlan | No it's more fun to egg him on | 01:45 |
| morten771 | xbhya: ok, glad to be of any help :-) | 01:45 |
| daftykins | this channel is for legit support, NOT FUN! | 01:45 |
| mdkwlan | Lolol | 01:45 |

| wylde | FUN is OT! >:( | 01:46 |
| daftykins | wylde: i wouldn't go that far :( | 01:46 |
| wylde | ;) | 01:46 |
| daftykins | but yes, #ubuntu-offtopic for all your trolling needs | 01:46 |
| fahadash | What's OT ? | 01:46 |
| daftykins | offtopic. | 01:46 |
| Jeruvy | daftykins lol :) | 01:46 |
| morten771 | daftykins: but support is fun, isn't it? :) | 01:47 |
| fahadash | daftykins: Using Ubuntu is fun, what are you talking about | 01:47 |
| mdkwlan | lol | 01:47 |
| fahadash | If Ubuntu was no fun, then you wouldn't see it gaining all that popularity would you ? | 01:47 |
| mdkwlan | I'm still waiting for gentoo to compile. So yea ubuntu is fun | 01:47 |
| morten771 | should I run a command after changing logging setting before my changes work? | 01:48 |
| daftykins | meh, i'm off to bed, you guys can troll all you like | 01:48 |
| fahadash | I have recently become a preacher of ubuntu, converted many Windows zombies into Ubuntu human users | 01:48 |
| mdkwlan | Gn daftykins | 01:48 |
| morten771 | nightynight daftykins | 01:48 |
| fahadash | Sleep better | 01:48 |
| mdkwlan | I'm more so a find your own flavour linux preecher | 01:48 |
| fahadash | That is not gonna fly so well | 01:49 |
| IdleOne | Can you folks take the chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic and keep this channel clear for support. | 01:49 |
| mdkwlan | Whys that? | 01:49 |
| fahadash | There are users like Martinlemairte who don't know how to "Launch" an app; try that "Find your flavor" with them | 01:49 |
| mdkwlan | True but ill just wait till a person saids they have a problem | 01:50 |
| mdkwlan | inb4kicked so yea. | 01:50 |
| fahadash | Ok I have a support question now | 01:50 |
| mdkwlan | ask ill brb | 01:51 |
| Phlunk3 | can anyone point me in the right direction for having a command which runs when a usb device is inserted? | 01:51 |
| fahadash | I have ubuntu installer boot-USB; I use it as a portable OS; I stick it in, boot and choose "Try Ubuntu"... I do that to use other people computers... Do you guys see any problem with it ? | 01:51 |
| fahadash | Phlunk3: You're probably looking for some autorun usb or something | 01:52 |
| Phlunk3 | you can install linux onto a usb and then you will be able to store your app data and config on there also faha, probably a nicer solution | 01:52 |
| fahadash | Phlunk3: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1485978 | 01:52 |
| mdkwlan | Yea unetbootin has the function for mainting a session for ubuntu | 01:52 |
| mdkwlan | also you have other spins like DSL or puppylinux | 01:53 |
| wylde | !info udev | Phlunk3 | 01:53 |
| ubottu | Phlunk3: udev (source: udev): rule-based device node and kernel event manager. In component main, is required. Version 175-0ubuntu26 (raring), package size 312 kB, installed size 956 kB (Only available for linux-any) | 01:53 |
| Dr_Willis | Puppylinux is a VERY weird linux in many ways. ;) | 01:53 |
| mdkwlan | Hey Dr_Willis | 01:53 |
| fahadash | I used unetbootin to create this USB, but instead of running in installer I choose "Try Ubuntu" | 01:53 |
| Dr_Willis | i have a hard time reccomending it - because its so odd in ways - that teach bad habbits when using Ubuntu, or a more normal linux. | 01:53 |
| Dr_Willis | Howdies mdkwlan | 01:54 |
| mdkwlan | Macpup DSL there's tons of them | 01:54 |
| Dr_Willis | tinycore linux is also a very tiny (and weird) linux. | 01:54 |
| mdkwlan | Yea, what exactly do you find weird with them? | 01:55 |
| Dr_Willis | go look at how their package manager system works | 01:55 |
| mdkwlan | like ppm? | 01:55 |
| Dr_Willis | tinycore is set to have 'packages'installed to a direcxtory then at boot all the package arvhives get mounted via the loop back feature to get merged into the actual os. | 01:56 |

| toothe | the documentation for slapd fails at a certain point | 02:46 |

| tcatsunent | Thanks any ideas for a dock? I tried awn but it didn't work | 02:50 |
| pepee | tcatsunent, no idea, but I guess people using l/xubuntu may help you? | 02:51 |
| bazhang | !info docky | 02:51 |
| ubottu | docky (source: docky): Elegant, powerful, clean dock. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.1.4-1 (raring), package size 830 kB, installed size 3329 kB | 02:51 |
| bazhang | tcatsunent, ^ | 02:51 |
| tcatsunent | thank you | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | !dock | 02:52 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu includes several dock-like navigation bars. Some options are: avant-window-navigator, cairo-dock, docky (formerly part of gnome-do), stalonetray, simdock, kdocker, kooldock. | 02:52 |
| Dr_Willis | awn works well for most people. its got the most features i belive | 02:53 |
| zykotick9 | bazhang: to bad docky is written in mono, and thus doesn't have much future... | 03:01 |
| bazhang | zykotick9, well he asked for a dock, not the whole mono thing, and thats what came to mind; feel free to suggest others if you wish | 03:02 |
| zykotick9 | bazhang: well, it works for now anyways ;) i've never been a big dock fan myself, but have used awn/docky/cairo-dock in the past... you suggestion(s) where good... i was just making a comment to you :) | 03:04 |
| tcatsunent | says it wont work properly without compositing | 03:07 |
| Dr_Willis | what window manager are you using tcatsunent ? | 03:08 |
| morten771 | can I block or mask read of one file on a NTFS partition? so when a program wants to read that file it gets 0 bytes of another file from somewhere, just so it don't try to read that file? | 03:09 |
| tcatsunent | openbox | 03:09 |
| Dr_Willis | morten771: i imagine such features with ntfs will be very limited. | 03:09 |
| Dr_Willis | tcatsunent: openbox might have some compisiting option you can enable. | 03:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Docks that require compositing, such as Avant-window-navigator, Cairo dock, or Kooldock, can be used in Openbox with xcompmgr | 03:10 |
| tcatsunent | okay thank you | 03:11 |
| Dr_Willis | http://urukrama.wordpress.com/openbox-guide/ | 03:11 |
| morten771 | oh | 03:11 |
| morten771 | could I for example mount a single file onto /media/C/dir1/dir2/file.exe ? (while /media/C is where my ntfs partition C: is) | 03:12 |
| Vialas | no luck :( | 03:12 |
| zykotick9 | tcatsunent: IF you have 3D card working, you might want to check out http://www.fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php?title=Compositing | 03:12 |
| Dr_Willis | morten771: i would be suprised if it was possible. you MIGHT be able to use some unionfs or other fuse 'mergeing 2 filesystems onto one' tools like unionfs, or overlayfs. or some other fuse tools. | 03:13 |
| Dr_Willis | morten771: im not sure how well the ntfs-3g driver supports soft links either. that may be anoher way to redirect that file to a differnt file | 03:14 |
| Hodapp | mount a single file? why? | 03:14 |
| morten771 | I'm not sure how mounting works really, but I think one normall can make say a usb stick appear as to be the files at /home/user/foo/bar so perhaps a single file from it could be "mounted" to appear as /home/user/foo/bar/pic.jpg say? | 03:14 |

| LiENUS | zykotick9, shouldnt really be any slower than swap on hard drive | 03:18 |
| zykotick9 | LiENUS: actually it will to MUCH slower... | 03:18 |
| LiENUS | zykotick9, random access hard drive speed is ~10-20MB/s | 03:18 |
| LiENUS | so going to something thats 30-50MB/s random access speed is a step up | 03:19 |
| zykotick9 | LiENUS: do what you want. i'm done with this conversation... | 03:19 |
| LiENUS | zykotick9, well im curious why would using a faster media be slower? | 03:19 |
| morten771 | if rhash when trying to read that file, fills the syslog with thousands of lines of same error (for same file) is it becuase rhash don't give up, and just tries again and again forever? | 03:20 |
| zykotick9 | LiENUS: lol, SD is across USB (9 times out of 10), and if you think USB = HD speed... | 03:20 |
| wilee-nilee | IamTrying, Have you found an app like this one? https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/precise/qesteidutil/ | 03:20 |
| LiENUS | zykotick9, for sequential reads sure, spinning disk on sata bus would destroy it hands down | 03:20 |
| LiENUS | but thats not what we're talking here | 03:20 |
| LiENUS | we're talking swap which is random reads | 03:21 |
| zykotick9 | LiENUS: have you ever tried to run an OS over USB? it crawls... | 03:21 |

| Dr_Willis | miusang: paraphrase what the url is about... not everyone can read every url posted to see the actual question | 03:25 |
| IamTrying | wilee-nilee, i need to login via my id card to a VPN SSL server and also pay tax on web. But in Ubuntu its impossible to read a id card | 03:25 |
| miusang | ok, | 03:25 |
| LiENUS | so anyone got any tips for putting swap on a sd card with ubuntu? | 03:25 |
| Dr_Willis | LiENUS: ive heard its a bad idea. bad to have it on a usb flash drive also. | 03:26 |
| wilee-nilee | IamTrying, I am not your help, I have not used this app, the key here is details to the channel. | 03:26 |
| Dr_Willis | ive done both however. ;) | 03:26 |
| LiENUS | Dr_Willis, well it wears out the flash faster true | 03:26 |
| morten771 | Shouldn't there only be one error line (ntfs_attr_pread error reading ... Value too large for defined data type) instead of many (until my disk is full) when rhash is trying to read a file that my ntfs-3g can't read? | 03:26 |
| LiENUS | but in typical random read/writes sd cards absolutely destroy spinning disks | 03:26 |
| LiENUS | so it should in theory be 10-20x faster than putting it on a regular spinning hd | 03:27 |
| Dr_Willis | i imagine swap access is not totally random | 03:27 |
| Dr_Willis | run some benchmarks and see perhaps? | 03:27 |
| miusang | the url elaborate that How To Use Open-Source Radeon UVD On Ubuntu, but I don't know whether I can use it in my laptop and get a good performance. | 03:27 |
| LiENUS | not totally no, you'll see things written out in blocks the size of the program | 03:27 |

| miusang | Also, I am afraid that whether the propritery drivers have something wrong with the new kenerl. | 03:35 |
| james-ubc | Dr_Willis, huh... that's weird... I didn't add any repos this week | 03:35 |
| LiENUS | reisio, actually sit in there, about twice a day spammers come in dinging everyone and they ban them | 03:35 |
| reisio | miusang: pretty unlikely | 03:35 |
| reisio | LiENUS: nope | 03:36 |
| LiENUS | reisio, yep | 03:36 |
| pepee | miusang, you have to remove them completely, remove xorg and reinstall it | 03:36 |
| KnownSyntax | reisio: Let's talk about how openjdk throws a package not found error when you try to apt-get install it on ubuntu server >.> | 03:36 |
| reisio | LiENUS: not what you're talking about, nope | 03:36 |
| reisio | KnownSyntax: can we talk about what you want openjdk for first? :/ | 03:36 |
| Sir_Leto | Dr_Willis: I told Ubuntu to open .pde files in processing(an IDE) and now it opens all scripts in processing | 03:36 |
| James_WB | anyone having trouble with vlc, mine stopped displaying video today | 03:36 |
| LiENUS | reisio, i simply pointed out that what he was doing is akin to spamming hes dinging me for no reason | 03:36 |
| reisio | James_WB: what'd you do today? | 03:36 |
| pepee | miusang, http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Precise_Installation_Guide#Removing_Catalyst.2Ffglrx | 03:36 |
| KnownSyntax | reisio: qwebirc. | 03:37 |
| reisio | LiENUS: yeah, but it isn't, and it wouldn't matter if it were, that isn't your job | 03:37 |
| LiENUS | it's considered rude to randomly ding people | 03:37 |
| reisio | KnownSyntax: horrors, what's the exact error? | 03:37 |
| reisio | LiENUS: you said | 03:37 |
| LiENUS | i informed him that what he was doing is rude | 03:37 |
| James_WB | installed some updates in software updater, thats about it, nothing related to vlc | 03:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Sir_Leto: id have to say check askubuntu.com for what tools to tweak file assoications that way. | 03:37 |
| LiENUS | reisio, i said <LiENUS> wilee-nilee, please dont use my nick here, it's considered rude to ding someone if you werent already having a relevant conversation with them | 03:37 |
| miusang | I am using laptop. Doesn't the laptop get much heat than original? | 03:37 |
| LiENUS | he continued to ding me | 03:37 |
| reisio | LiENUS: it's true you've said some things, is he dining you now? | 03:37 |
| KnownSyntax | reisio: apt-get can't find the package at all, I've told Ubuntu forums awhile back ago but still no fix. I'm lazy so meh, just gave up on having that part of qwebirc run correctly. | 03:37 |
| pepee | miusang, there is dynamic power management in kernel 3.11 | 03:38 |
| LiENUS | then bragge dabout how he was a regular user here and could get away with being rude | 03:38 |
| reisio | KnownSyntax: horrors, what's the exact error? | 03:38 |
| pepee | miusang, http://phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?82751-How-to-get-dpm-accel-sb-back-end-working-on-Ubu-13-04-%28ppa-preferably-%29 | 03:38 |
| LiENUS | then proceeded to info bot spam me with a link to the rules saying not to info bot spam me lol | 03:39 |
| mynameisthom | Hello, m currently using ubuntu to connect to a device with this command : stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 9600 cs8 -cstopb && cat -v < /dev/ttyUSB0. The result is, an output with ^C at the end of the data. The question is if I type : stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 9600 eof ^C cs8 -cstopb && cat -v < /dev/ttyUSB0, why doesn't it close? | 03:39 |
| xmetal | back | 03:39 |
| LiENUS | wilee-nilee, since you're a 'regular user' you should know ". Please do not abuse our bots. Trying to add silly items (including spam), or calling lots of triggers quickly is considered to be abuse" | 03:39 |
| miusang | One more question, if I install the proprietary driver from AMD, what happened to the kerne 3.11. | 03:39 |
| lucenut | I've been reading about installing ubuntu-touch on a nexus 10. Kinda confusing. | 03:39 |
| lucenut | Do you think the install will be any easier with the release on the 17th? | 03:39 |
| LiENUS | rom the link you sent me from the infobot | 03:39 |
| xmetal | ok i think we may have a troll from the looks of it | 03:40 |
| chase | can someone help me install java on ubuntu studio | 03:40 |
| the_keen1h | 5~ | 03:40 |
| lucenut | Anyone have experience with ubuntu-touch? | 03:40 |
| zykotick9 | !touch | lucenut | 03:40 |
| ubottu | lucenut: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch | 03:40 |
| pepee | miusang, nothing. AFAIK, fglrx modifies the X server and installs a kernel module. after removing that module and the packages, you'll have no problems | 03:41 |
| chase | do i need to install linux rpm, linux, linux 64, or linusx 64 rpm | 03:41 |
| lucenut | I just have a few questions. | 03:41 |
| LiENUS | chase, you wouldnt need an rpm on ubuntu at all | 03:41 |
| lucenut | Like will the release on the 17th dual boot? | 03:41 |
| reisio | chase: this a desktop? | 03:41 |
| Dr_Willis | lucenut: all the releases have been able to dual boot | 03:41 |
| chase | lap top | 03:41 |
| zykotick9 | chase: rpm is redhat/fedora... see "/msg ubottu rpm" for additional details... | 03:42 |
| Dr_Willis | but if you mean can touch dual boot with what? theres the Touch specific channels | 03:42 |
| reisio | chase: so desktop, use software center | 03:42 |
| LiENUS | chase, does ubuntu studio not have the ubuntu software center | 03:42 |
| Dr_Willis | !touch | lucenut | 03:42 |
| ubottu | lucenut: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch | 03:42 |
| reisio | chase: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java | 03:42 |
| chase | idk im new to ubuntu | 03:42 |
| pepee | mynameisthom, you have to pass ^C? | 03:42 |
| pepee | *you want? | 03:43 |
| gp5st | is there anyway to split a file in place? :-\ I'm trying to put it on s3 bc i don't have much space left, but it's over 5gb | 03:43 |
| miusang | Ok, I will try it right now. Great thanks. I will give some feedbacks.:) | 03:43 |
| chase | witch java do i need to play runescape | 03:43 |
| mynameisthom | pepee, yep. I've tried hit Ctrl-V Ctrl-C, but nothing. The command is still listening the port. | 03:44 |
| reisio | gp5st: how do you have access to s3? | 03:44 |
| chase | like for graphics | 03:44 |
| pepee | miusang, it's experimental, I don't think feedback will be welcome... | 03:44 |
| pepee | miusang, not in this channel, at least | 03:44 |
| reisio | gp5st: use 'split' or 'tar' and s3fs | 03:44 |
| pepee | miusang, go to #radeon | 03:44 |
| LiENUS | !java | chase | 03:44 |
| ubottu | chase: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 03:44 |
| miusang | ok, no problem. | 03:44 |
| reisio | gp5st: or, sorry, just use s3fs :) | 03:44 |
| reisio | gp5st: and cp/rsync | 03:44 |
| chase | ok thanks | 03:44 |
| LiENUS | you want the jre and browser plugin | 03:44 |
| pepee | mynameisthom, the manpage says eof specifies the char to terminate the session... | 03:45 |
| reisio | chase: runescape? | 03:45 |
| reisio | ah | 03:46 |
| pepee | mynameisthom, try passing '\x03' as argument? | 03:46 |
| chase | after i download java what do i need to open it with | 03:46 |
| pepee | or, better yet, give it some other char... | 03:46 |
| Dr_Willis | chase: what did you download exactly? | 03:46 |
| chase | archive mnager? | 03:46 |
| LiENUS | reisio, its a mmorpg | 03:46 |
| LiENUS | done through the web browser | 03:46 |
| xmetal | good question | 03:46 |
| chase | jre-7u40-linux-i586.tar.gz | 03:47 |
| reisio | chase: you don't download it through your browser | 03:47 |
| LiENUS | iirc theres a launcher so he could use it and in theory get away without the plugin and just use the launcher but i've no idea if it works on linux | 03:47 |
| reisio | chase: use your package manager | 03:47 |
| gp5st | reisio: but i thought there was a 5gb limit on s3 (i'm using s3cmd and it's getting a broken pipe error) | 03:47 |
| xmetal | i'd look in the package manager first before messing with tarballs | 03:47 |
| xmetal | at least on a mint/ubuntu OS | 03:47 |
| LiENUS | chase, try the openjdk before you try oracle | 03:47 |
| chase | it dont lienus | 03:47 |
| chase | and it wouldnt work on wine either | 03:47 |
| pepee | seriously, most if not all newbs don't even know that there is a package manager | 03:48 |
| reisio | gp5st: well that's a separate problem altogether | 03:48 |
| LiENUS | chase, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java#Installation_of_Java_Runtime_Environment | 03:48 |
| pepee | why isn't it in the /topic ? | 03:48 |
| reisio | gp5st: how do you expect to move 5gb off one FS and onto another that won't take it | 03:48 |
| pepee | it should be the first thing newbs should read... | 03:48 |
| chase | thanks for the help guys | 03:48 |
| chase | im a coder im just trying to get into ubuntu | 03:49 |
| chase | really | 03:49 |
| gp5st | reisio: i have no idea | 03:49 |
| xmetal | look for synaptic | 03:49 |
| reisio | pepee: why not just make people learn how to be self sufficient? Great idea :p | 03:49 |
| xmetal | or did i typo that? | 03:49 |
| xmetal | lol | 03:49 |
| reisio | gp5st: okay, so maybe this isn't your solution | 03:49 |
| gp5st | reisio: i wanted to split it into smaller files | 03:49 |
| gp5st | hmm, this is a rar with a rar in it? (I didn't make it) could i mount it? | 03:49 |
| pepee | reisio, because to start being self sufficient, it's easier to just RTFM... | 03:49 |
| reisio | gp5st: start with this: http://www.webupd8.org/2009/04/clean-unnecessary-temporarily-files-in.html | 03:49 |
| reisio | gp5st: hrmm? | 03:50 |
| gp5st | reisio: oh i've been doing that:-p | 03:50 |
| reisio | pepee: you know that, and I know that, two down | 03:50 |
| reisio | gp5st: you know you can get 3TB for about $120 in the USA right now | 03:50 |
| reisio | that's less than $50 per 1TB | 03:50 |
| chase | what application do you open oracle with | 03:50 |
| chase | ? | 03:50 |
| pepee | yeah, well, the first question should always be "are you new to ubuntu/linux?" | 03:50 |
| chase | to install | 03:50 |
| hoverboard | yo pepee | 03:51 |
| pepee | hey hoverboard | 03:51 |
| reisio | gp5st: Ubuntu One offers 5gb of free online space | 03:51 |
| hoverboard | you're pretty active in here | 03:51 |
| reisio | gp5st: google drive offers 15 | 03:51 |
| reisio | hundreds of others | 03:51 |
| pepee | hoverboard, I used to be, but it's kinda hard to teach people... | 03:51 |
| methodize | what could be the cause of booting to black screen 3 times and on the 4th it boots correctly? | 03:51 |
| hoverboard | you still in that other channel? | 03:51 |
| reisio | pepee: I'm not sure you should be answering questions if the answer to that one isn't obvious :) | 03:51 |
| Sir_Leto | turns out I need to edit ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list | 03:51 |
| pepee | hoverboard, yep | 03:51 |
| reisio | methodize: race conditions, don't you love C++? | 03:52 |
| hoverboard | ah cool | 03:52 |
| pepee | reisio, some people knows how to do things, some learn quickly by themselves, etc. | 03:52 |
| reisio | uhuh | 03:52 |
| chase | what program do i need to choose to install jdk oracle | 03:52 |
| gp5st | reisio: it's a 6gb file:-p | 03:52 |
| pepee | some are told "look, ubuntu is great, I'll install it for you" and then... nothing, they don't know how to use it | 03:52 |
| pepee | chase, use the software center | 03:52 |
| hoverboard | yeah that's true | 03:53 |
| reisio | gp5st: what is it? | 03:53 |
| xmetal | the room bot have a "package manager or software center commond" | 03:53 |
| reisio | chase: what makes you think you need oracle's? | 03:53 |
| xmetal | oops @ my spelling | 03:53 |
| xmetal | command | 03:53 |
| gp5st | reisio: some (non porn) videos | 03:53 |
| reisio | gp5st: in what format? | 03:53 |
| reisio | gp5st: how much space do you have? | 03:53 |
| reisio | gp5st: get yourself some porn | 03:53 |
| gp5st | ~ 800mb? | 03:53 |
| mynameisthom | pepee, it says stty: invalid integer argument `x03' | 03:54 |
| xmetal | i have a joke here but i am bound to get kicked from the room for saying it | 03:54 |
| xmetal | :P | 03:54 |
| Sir_Leto | can someone get something from their application defaults config for me? | 03:54 |
| pepee | mynameisthom, include the quotes, or try eof $(echo -ne '\x03') | 03:54 |
| mynameisthom | pepee, gimme a second. I'll try the last one, since quote doesn't work | 03:55 |
| Sir_Leto | I want to know what it says in ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list for the mime type application/x-shellscript | 03:56 |
| Sir_Leto | can anyone tell me? | 03:56 |
| reisio | Sir_Leto: I'm guessing dash or bash | 03:56 |
| Sir_Leto | I need it to fix my messed up file associations | 03:56 |

| Sir_Leto | I think dell may still sell laptops like that | 04:04 |
| Dr_Willis | system76 has several also | 04:04 |
| rrm | reisio: well, i want to make sure it works ok with 12.04 since this x130e has issues with wireless and video card | 04:05 |
| Sir_Leto | rrm: http://www.ubuntu.com/partners/dell/dellxps | 04:05 |

| Dr_Willis | thre is a list of ubuntu certified hardware on the ubuntu site ive seen. | 04:07 |
| reisio | right, but they also don't sell computers with ubuntu preinstalled | 04:07 |

| ubottu | fishcooker, please see my private message | 04:19 |
| zykotick9 | Ben64: considering all previous releases are EOL (on desktop), it'd say yes. | 04:20 |
| zykotick9 | s/it'd/i'd/ | 04:20 |
| Ben64 | zykotick9: that wouldn't work, would be easier to do s/it/i/ | 04:22 |
| zykotick9 | Ben64: :) good point. does ' mess with things? (i'm assuming by your comment, it does) | 04:22 |
| Ben64 | yeah, would need to escape them, like s/it\'d/i\'d/ but that looks silly | 04:23 |
| pepee | s/\/\\\\/\// | 04:24 |
| CodeOmegaPrime | I installed ubuntu 13.04 and them updated and installed gnome now when I login my screen is black with a cursor. | 04:24 |
| pepee | CodeOmegaPrime, upgrade to 13.10 ? :P | 04:24 |
| pepee | it will be released in a couple days, so... | 04:25 |
| CodeOmegaPrime | Doesnt really fix the fact my work machine is jow a paperweight until its working | 04:25 |
| wilee-nilee | fishcooker, It's just called cherokee in the ppa | 04:25 |
| Ben64 | CodeOmegaPrime: what exactly did you do | 04:26 |
| CodeOmegaPrime | I installed gnome then ati drivers then ran sudo aticonfig --initial --adapter=all | 04:27 |
| pepee | CodeOmegaPrime, upgrade from the tty ? | 04:27 |
| CodeOmegaPrime | Yes | 04:27 |
| pepee | CodeOmegaPrime, looks like a problem with fglrx... | 04:27 |
| Ari-Yang | CodeOmegaPrime: fglrx is horrible..... and it has horrible 2d acceleration, you'd only use it if you were a gamer | 04:28 |
| Ari-Yang | if you aren't, you're better off with the open source radeon driver | 04:28 |
| Ari-Yang | CodeOmegaPrime: what card do you have? | 04:29 |
| CodeOmegaPrime | Let me look I do play some games | 04:29 |
| CodeOmegaPrime | And program them | 04:29 |
| wilee-nilee | CodeOmegaPrime, installed gnome, the shell? | 04:30 |
| Ari-Yang | CodeOmegaPrime: what card do you have? | 04:30 |
| CodeOmegaPrime | HD 6530D | 04:30 |
| CodeOmegaPrime | Radeon | 04:31 |
| Ari-Yang | CodeOmegaPrime: tbh you're better off with installing kernel 3.10 or 3.11, and mesa git, with this setup it rivals fglrx | 04:32 |
| superboot | Hi all. I know it's old new, but I'm still not over the death of Gnome 2. Anyone else? | 04:33 |
| Ari-Yang | !offtopic > superboot | 04:33 |
| ubottu | superboot, please see my private message | 04:33 |
| pepee | superboot, mint ? | 04:33 |
| CodeOmegaPrime | Ari-Yang will that work for games too | 04:33 |
| Ari-Yang | CodeOmegaPrime: yes.... | 04:33 |
| superboot | Ari-Yang: Ah, thanks. | 04:34 |
| pepee | CodeOmegaPrime, you may find some bugs though.. | 04:34 |
| Ari-Yang | CodeOmegaPrime: and if you're using xf86-ati driver 7.2, and mesa 9.2 at least, you can have hardware video decoding support | 04:34 |
| pepee | superboot, AFAIK mint still uses gnome2 | 04:34 |
| Ari-Yang | CodeOmegaPrime: yeah what pepee you might find some bugs... I'm using it myself and so far everything is fine...but it may not be the same for you | 04:34 |
| pepee | I get black screen after resume from suspend :'( | 04:35 |
| pepee | I'm using the FOSS driver too | 04:35 |
| CodeOmegaPrime | Ok time to dig thanks guys | 04:36 |
| Ari-Yang | CodeOmegaPrime: if you're curious use this ppa https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/graphics-drivers/ | 04:36 |
| zykotick9 | pepee: i'm assuming you use AMD/ATI, which is NOT FOSS, only OS (open source). | 04:36 |

| Ari-Yang | zykotick9: I think he means open source radeon driver... | 04:37 |
| pepee | zykotick9, yeah, sorry, I don't understand the difference very well | 04:37 |
| pepee | it's because of the firmware? | 04:38 |
| zykotick9 | pepee: many people don't. but there is nothing "free" if you use ATI/AMD. yes due to firmware. | 04:38 |
| pepee | k | 04:38 |
| pepee | saucy should ship libg3dvl-mesa ... it would be less problematic for people to use the radeon driver | 04:39 |
| Ari-Yang | pepee: I'm sticking with 12.10, but it would be a let down if 13.10 isn't shipped with that and mesa 9.2... | 04:40 |
| charco | Hi. I'm running ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bits. My computer FREEZES when I have a userland program use the "read" function and press CTRL-D | 04:41 |
| pepee | well, it isn't in the repos | 04:41 |
| pepee | I got mine from oibaf's PPA | 04:41 |
| pepee | packaged for raring | 04:41 |
| Ari-Yang | pepee: I installed using oibaf's ppa as well | 04:41 |
| charco | I can't find if it's a bug that only happens to me o what. But I think it's weird. | 04:41 |
| pepee | charco, that's really weird | 04:42 |
| charco | pepee, yes, yes it is. Do you have any idea of what should I do? | 04:42 |
| charco | I was just testing something, used read in a program, and hit CTRL-D.. the whole system freezes =/ | 04:43 |
| wilee-nilee | charco, userland is not in the repos right? | 04:43 |
| charco | I think that probably there's a memory leak somewhere. Because suddenly it fills my ram(8GB) and swap | 04:43 |
| pepee | well, I'd try connecting from another machine and watching the processes | 04:44 |
| pepee | charco, what program? | 04:44 |
| charco | wilee-nilee, just a normal program. calling read(0, buffer, 1023); | 04:44 |
| pepee | could be a bug in that particular program | 04:44 |
| wilee-nilee | charco, userland is not in the repos right? | 04:44 |
| pepee | wilee-nilee, userland means, not as root AFAIK | 04:45 |
| wilee-nilee | 3rd party apps are basically not supported here is all | 04:45 |
| nrdb | hello .... I am trying to get a VM to network boot via nfs ... I have setup a directory for the nfsroot which I think is correct ... the VM does boot to some iso mounts :-) ... but fails when trying to use the nfsroot I have setup ... saying failed "Gave up waiting" ... when it drops to BusyBox the if isn't configured :-) ... can anyone help | 04:45 |
| charco | wilee-nilee, my program only does this system call.. just calls to read to fill a buffer from STDIN. There's no other program. | 04:46 |
| zykotick9 | pepee: userland means "non-kernel" basically. root vs non-root is different. | 04:46 |
| pepee | oh yeah, sorry | 04:48 |
| pepee | charco, well, what if you try reinstalling some packages? | 04:49 |
| pepee | I dunno, but people seem more knowledgeable in ##linux .. | 04:49 |
| charco | This only happens on my ubuntu 12.04, not my xubuntu 12.04 | 04:51 |
| zykotick9 | charco: consider reporting a bug then... although it's most likely a waste of time... | 04:52 |
| CodeOmegaPrime | Purging amd proprietary drivers and I am back up. | 04:52 |
| Ari-Yang | CodeOmegaPrime: you uninstalled them? | 04:53 |

| charco | zykotick9, I will try to know what is happening first. I think it's weird. =/ | 04:53 |

| CodeOmegaPrime | Ari-yang yez I did | 04:54 |
| Ari-Yang | CodeOmegaPrime: okay, so what are you going to do? | 04:55 |
| CodeOmegaPrime | I think I am goinv to follow your advice. | 04:55 |
| Ari-Yang | CodeOmegaPrime: alright~ | 04:56 |
| Ari-Yang | CodeOmegaPrime: question, does your gpu heat up a lot? | 04:56 |
| CodeOmegaPrime | Nope | 04:56 |

It hung when try | 04:57 |
| nrdb | ing to mount the root :-( | 04:57 |
| CodeOmegaPrime | Ok | 04:57 |
| Ari-Yang | CodeOmegaPrime: install everything in mesa, linux-firmware, and xserver-xorg-video-ati packages | 04:57 |
| Dr_Willis | sounds like the nfsroot is incorrect | 04:58 |
| Ari-Yang | if you want to look at the contents, CodeOmegaPrime click on 'view package details' to see | 04:58 |
| Ari-Yang | CodeOmegaPrime: actually no | 04:58 |
| Dr_Willis | nrdb: i seem to recall doing that once - ages ago. i had vm#1 netbooting vm#2 as a test case. but i cnt even rember the disrto i used. | 04:58 |
| Ari-Yang | CodeOmegaPrime: easier way would be to add the package and run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 04:58 |
| Ari-Yang | !dist-upgrade | CodeOmegaPrime | 04:58 |
| ubottu | CodeOmegaPrime: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 04:58 |
| === SuperLag_ is now known as SuperLag | ||

| === SuperLag is now known as Guest95884 | ||
| Dr_Willis | nrdb: the initrd process i think does stuff. using busybox. then hands off to the actual system. | 05:00 |
| Ari-Yang | CodeOmegaPrime: when you're done running dist-upgrade, reboot | 05:01 |
| Dr_Willis | nrdb: sounds like it may not be getting the right hand off. | 05:01 |
| CodeOmegaPrime | Ok will do | 05:01 |
| Ari-Yang | CodeOmegaPrime: what kernel version are you running on? | 05:02 |
| CodeOmegaPrime | 3.8.0.31 | 05:02 |
| nrdb | Dr_Willis, that is what I thought ... but when but when it gets to the busybox eth0 is still unconfigured which means that it can't even try to mount the root... any ideas on what could stop it? | 05:02 |
| Ari-Yang | CodeOmegaPrime: yeah, I recommend you upgrade to latest mainline kernel http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.11.4-saucy/ | 05:03 |
| Dr_Willis | nrdb: nope - not really. could be the initrd dosent have all the drivers needed for your nic | 05:03 |
| Ari-Yang | when the stuff from dist-upgrade is done installing, CodeOmegaPrime, install the right .deb files for your system. if you're on amd64 download and install the amd64 headers, headers-all, and the amd64 image | 05:04 |
| nrdb | Dr_Willis, but if it didn't ... wouldn't it not allow an "ifconfig eth0 <ip>" to work? | 05:04 |

For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process. | 05:27 |

| Rezkon | Hi i need some help | 06:39 |
| Rory | !ask | Rezkon | 06:39 |
| ubottu | Rezkon: 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 | 06:39 |
| lotuspsychje | Rory: you know how cbilljones can remove systemsettings from logout menu? | 06:40 |
| cbilljones | lotuspsychje im digging through dconf-editor, see if anything there | 06:40 |
| cfhowlett | !details|Rezkon, no telepaths here. describe your issue. | 06:40 |
| ubottu | Rezkon, no telepaths here. describe your issue.: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 06:40 |
| Rory | lotuspsychje: I'm sure you don't mean me | 06:41 |
| Dr_Willis | if its a koisk do you even want the logout menu? | 06:41 |
| Rory | Oh you're asking if I know | 06:41 |
| lotuspsychje | Rory: yes i mean you maybe you also know :p | 06:41 |
| === sporkeee is now known as wilee-nilee | ||
| cbilljones | dr_willis ya that one is ok, its a point of sale terminal, user should be able to easily logout/reboot | 06:41 |
| Rezkon | Oh Sorry, Ok so im reading a book called hacking the art of expoiltation, it using ubuntu with a linux kernal i belive but i keep getting errors such as "unknown boot option+0x0/0x/19 and random freezes on sda: Assuming etc | 06:41 |
| Rory | Is it in unity-tweak-tool maybe? | 06:41 |
| Rory | Rezkon: What Ubuntu version? | 06:41 |
| cbilljones | rory dont see it in unity-tweak | 06:42 |
| cbilljones | rory 14.04 | 06:42 |

| Rory | Rezkon: go to Ubuntu.com and download a version that isn't from 2007 | 06:42 |

| cbilljones | rory i like it cause all my hardware works out of the box including touch, just trying to get it perfect for large scale deployment | 06:43 |
| Dr_Willis | cbilljones: i notice that lubuntu has some sort of nexux7 desktop mode. ;) wonder if that would be better for a touchscreen | 06:44 |
| Rezkon | Rory, the book im reading LiveCD has SRC codes and that in it andits all based on 7 :\ Reckon just read the book and follow as best as i an | 06:44 |
| Rory | Rezkon: Did you get it installed OK? | 06:44 |

| cbilljones | dr_willis i may look at it, but for the most part i like unity, hiding panel solves most issues, it just this last small thing lol | 06:46 |

| Rory | Rezkon: You can still use source code from the CD | 06:46 |
| deckard | hello, are there any cool looking terminals? with cool fonts? | 06:47 |

| cbilljones | lotuspsychje ya it kind of looks like that maybe the case | 06:50 |
| lotuspsychje | cbilljones: users wont be able to mess up your desktop right | 06:50 |
| lotuspsychje | just their own | 06:50 |
| sgarbesi | i'm attempting to get a cronjob to run every minute to kick up a nodejs server, thing is it doesn't seem to actually kick it off and i have no idea why. if i run the command manually it works no problem | 06:51 |
| sgarbesi | here is the command: /usr/bin/flock -n /tmp/mysite.com.lock /usr/local/bin/nodemon /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/mysite.com/workspace/bootstrap.js >> /var/log/node/mysite.com.log 2>&1 | 06:51 |
| Dr_Willis | sgarbesi: comon issues. the $PATH is differnt, use full paths. dont use shortcuts | 06:52 |
| lotuspsychje | cbilljones: maybe look into chmod and !security for tighten your system even more | 06:52 |
| lkthomas | is there have any file system which would be read only after creation ? | 06:52 |
| sgarbesi | syslog isn't showing any errors so I'm stumped | 06:52 |
| Dr_Willis | also cron uses sh, not bash which can cause issues | 06:52 |
| sgarbesi | Dr_Willis so prefix /bin/bash ? | 06:52 |
| cbilljones | lotuspsychje ya but the software will run from their profile and inside it; i suppose they cant do any real damage there; and we just tell them they screw with stuff and they may have to pay for service call; its still way more locked down then our windows units | 06:52 |
| Dr_Willis | sgarbesi: id make a bash script that the cron job calls | 06:53 |
| sgarbesi | can i just do it in a one liner? i have a bunch of these that need to run for each domain, i really don't want to have to spin up a bunch of .sh files if i can avoid it :/ | 06:53 |
| lotuspsychje | cbilljones: ubuntu will have seperate stuff for users indeed, they cant do any 'real' harm on your system | 06:53 |
| lotuspsychje | cbilljones: maybe you can also look into chatcafe software or nanny software for ubuntu | 06:55 |
| cbilljones | lotuspsychje i may see how running without DE at all goes, or ive though about maybe just lxde and our software | 06:55 |
| wylde | lkthomas: you can use squashfs-tools to make compressed versions of filesystems that can be mounted and are read only.... unless of course you append more files using mksquashfs tool :) | 06:55 |
| lotuspsychje | cbilljones: you might be able to lock down more stuff you reall want | 06:55 |
| lkthomas | wylde: does squashfs is the only option? | 06:56 |
| lotuspsychje | cbilljones: would be cool to have the user only surf the web lol | 06:56 |
| sgarbesi | Dr_Willis I dropped it into a .sh file, still no good :/ | 06:57 |
| wylde | lkthomas: I doubt it's the only option. First one that came to mind. | 06:57 |
| sgarbesi | this really has me stumped | 06:57 |
| lkthomas | wylde: is it very complex to make squashfs? | 06:57 |
| cbilljones | lotuspsychje or old units run a dedicated xsession for our pos, but we can login to gnome if we need to. I think there are benifits to hving a desktop running always though, then i could fix things without logging out | 06:58 |
| lotuspsychje | cbilljones: i use sux for that tnx to Dr_Willis | 06:58 |
| wylde | lkthomas: nope, I use it to make backups of my VPS all the time. The stock version in repos only includes gzip compression though. Which is fine if you don't really care about actually compressing the filesystem. | 06:58 |
| lotuspsychje | !info sux | cbilljones | 06:59 |
| ubottu | cbilljones: sux (source: sux): wrapper around su which will transfer your X credentials. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.1-6 (raring), package size 9 kB, installed size 64 kB | 06:59 |
| lotuspsychje | cbilljones: you can then sux yourusername firefox from any desktop/login | 06:59 |
| cbilljones | lotuspsychje i dont think i need that for what im doing | 06:59 |
| lotuspsychje | ok | 06:59 |
| wylde | lkthomas: I have a build with xz compression support in my own ppa. | 07:00 |
| cbilljones | lotuspsychje priv escalation is already perfect for what im doing | 07:00 |
| lkthomas | wylde: I want to replicate WORM on tape by using linux file system | 07:00 |
| lotuspsychje | cbilljones: http://askubuntu.com/questions/47640/is-there-a-cyber-cafe-program-for-server-client-places-internet-cafe | 07:00 |
| cbilljones | lotuspsychje this isnt a kiosk/public machine :| | 07:01 |
| lotuspsychje | anyway coffetime now | 07:01 |
| lotuspsychje | cbilljones: gl with your security | 07:01 |
| cbilljones | thx | 07:02 |
| cbilljones | anyone else have any ideas? trying to remove "system settings" from shutdown menu - top right | 07:03 |
| wylde | lkthomas: I'm not familiar with WORM, but from a super quick skim of my google search on it, yes. squashfs will do that. You can even mount then export the filesystems over the network. It can preserve all file permissions, XATTRs exactly as they are on the filesystem when you make the "squashed" image. | 07:03 |
| wylde | !info squashfs-tools | lkthomas | 07:04 |
| ubottu | lkthomas: squashfs-tools (source: squashfs-tools): Tool to create and append to squashfs filesystems. In component main, is optional. Version 1:4.2+20121212-1 (raring), package size 85 kB, installed size 269 kB (Only available for linux-any; kfreebsd-any) | 07:04 |
| lkthomas | wylde: I will test it for sure. Is that impossible to mount SquashFS into Read-write mode after it's created ? | 07:04 |
| === AbyssOne is now known as a1|away | ||
| === a1|away is now known as AbyssOne | ||
| wylde | lkthomas: no. You can append data to it, not modify or update existing data without rebuilding the entire filesystem. There are ways to make it "appear" read/write using squashfs with unionfs | 07:05 |
| lkthomas | wylde: what do you mean by "appear" ? | 07:06 |
| jonascj | I'm still having issues with my thunderbird. I does not use the profile i specify in ~/.thunderbird/profiles.ini. I've added a calendar and the calendar stays there in thunderbird no matter what profile I specify (e.g. it should disappear when I switch away from the profile for which it was defined). | 07:06 |
| wylde | lkthomas: not sure I can explain it properly off the top of my head. Gimme a sec. I have a link here somewhere about using squashfs with unionfs. | 07:07 |
| lkthomas | thanks | 07:07 |
| jonascj | if I remove the profiles.ini thunderbird does create a new one in the folder where the previous profiles.ini was located. This leads me to believe I have the right folder, at least. | 07:07 |

| wilee-nilee | jonascj, I was not sure. | 07:13 |
| Curtisbeef | can anyone help with my display problem? | 07:13 |
| jonascj | wilee-nilee: of course - but good suggestions :) It is as if thunderbird is ignoring what in the profiles.ini. Or of course my profiles folder could be corrupted | 07:14 |

| mika__ | Something weird has happened to my ubuntu. I can login through CLI (ctrl+alt+F1), but now its asking passwd on GUI side??? And it won't let me in!. etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf has all the settings that it shouldn't even ask passwd while login. Do i have virus? :D | 08:50 |

| === phantomcircuit_ is now known as phantomcircuit | ||
| mika__ | gordonjcp: well it shouldn't be. i did shutdown my desktop normally. so it shouldn't ask me anything. Anyway, my passwd doesn't work on GUI. | 08:52 |
| mika__ | Dr_Willis: i try that already but it didn't help | 08:52 |
| MickS | mika__: do you have multiple keyboard layouts installed, and have some weird chars in your password that translate differently on different keyboard mappings? | 08:52 |
| mika__ | MickS: no i dont have. finnish mapping :) | 08:53 |
| bitnumus | can anyone tell me where the hell 'imagewriter' is in ubuntu 13.04 ? | 08:53 |
| Dr_Willis | !find imagewriter | 08:53 |
| MickS | mika__: and you don't see the icon in your GUI which perhaps maps it to EN or something similar? | 08:53 |
| ubottu | File imagewriter found in app-install-data, faumachine-data, hwb, lazarus-doc-0.9.30.4, libqt4-dev, libqtscript4-doc, python-qt4-dev, python-qt4-doc, python-vmtk, qt4-doc-html (and 1 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=imagewriter&mode=&suite=raring&arch=any | 08:53 |

| bitnumus | that didnt help did it / | 08:54 |
| bitnumus | has it just disappeared or something | 08:54 |
| Dr_Willis | i dont even know what imageweriter does. | 08:54 |
| bitnumus | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/raring/+package/usb-imagewriter | 08:54 |
| mika__ | MickS: im now on windows side because i have dual boot. but the passwd is normal there isn't any symbols | 08:54 |
| bitnumus | it writes images i guess, .img filetype | 08:55 |
| bitnumus | package link is above, but its not in the repos ? | 08:55 |
| Dr_Willis | .img dosent really mean anything as far as i know. | 08:55 |
| hillary | how do i crack into forgoten password in my router in ubuntu 12.04 | 08:55 |
| MickS | mika__: another thing I can think of... do you have your homedir encrypted and recently changed your password of your account (and forgetting to change the password of your encrypted homedir)? | 08:55 |
| Dr_Willis | is this a hard disk image? a cd rom image? | 08:55 |
| === Jikan is now known as Jikai | ||
| mika__ | MickS: i dont have encryption on and like i said..CLI side my passwd works...but not in GUI side :) so i haven't done any changes | 08:56 |
| llutz | mika__: check "ls -ld /tmp" "df -h /tmp" "ls -l ~./Xauthority" | 08:57 |
| MickS | mika__: both options I said have the effect that CLI works, but GUI doesn't, so it would have been possibilities. However... I'm out of options now what else it could be .. I hope someone else here has some bright ideas | 08:57 |
| llutz | mika__: "df -h" not only tmp, sry | 08:58 |
| ActionParsnip | mika__: do you run commands like "sudo gedit" and "sudo nautilus" ? | 08:58 |
| llutz | mika__: so check "ls -ld /tmp" "df -h" "ls -l ~/.Xauthority" | 08:58 |
| mika__ | ActionParsnip: yes i do sometimes... | 08:58 |
| ActionParsnip | mika__: this will cause the issue | 08:58 |
| mika__ | ActionParsnip: why? :D | 08:59 |
| ActionParsnip | mika__: sudo is NOT suitable for GUI apps, you need to use gksudo or this will keep happening | 08:59 |
| asdf11 | God of users, can somebody explain why I can't install AMD Drivers (13.4) for HD 7950? I got blackscreen after reboot! | 08:59 |
| njsg | why? sudo keeps $HOME from the non-root user or something? | 08:59 |
| MickS | sudo makes files become root owned | 08:59 |
| ActionParsnip | mika__: boot to root recovery mode (assuming your user is named 'foo'): chown -R foo:foo /home/foo | 09:00 |
| Dr_Willis | !nomodeset | 09:00 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 09:00 |
| ActionParsnip | njsg: sudo doesnt set up the environment correctly for GUI apps | 09:00 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont use ati. :) | 09:00 |
| nb-ben | try sudo echo $HOME | 09:00 |
| mika__ | ActionParsnip: thank you very much :) i will try that soon | 09:00 |
| MickS | explanation about sudo vs. gksudo: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo | 09:01 |
| ActionParsnip | mika__: you can technically use gksudo for both GUI and CLI | 09:01 |
| mika__ | ActionParsnip: ok! | 09:01 |
| ActionParsnip | mika__: it makes the ~/.Xauthority owned which is why llutz was asking for its ownership | 09:01 |
| === Jikai is now known as Jikan | ||
| mika__ | ActionParsnip: ahaa. hmm... well i didn't know this. i have using ubuntu a long time, but only now it happened to me :) | 09:04 |
| ActionParsnip | !gksudo | mika__ | 09:04 |
| njsg | ActionParsnip: what do you mean "properly"? I've used su for graphical applications in the past and things never broke. but that said, I usually do "su - " | 09:04 |
| ubottu | mika__: 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) | 09:04 |
| ActionParsnip | njsg: su is to switch user, so you can use that to run apps as other users | 09:05 |
| njsg | ActionParsnip: I am aware... | 09:05 |
| llutz | njsg: using plain su - you needed to set display/xauth too | 09:05 |
| ActionParsnip | njsg: so how do yu run a command, as another command? | 09:06 |
| njsg | ActionParsnip: yeah | 09:06 |
| llutz | that's why (broken) "sux" exists | 09:06 |
| njsg | I never ever use sudo, only now do I use computers with sudo on a daily basis and I just "sudo su" | 09:06 |
| ActionParsnip | njsg: you mean 'as root' right? | 09:06 |
| llutz | njsg: why not using the recommended way "sudo -i" | 09:07 |
| njsg | ActionParsnip: of course. that's kinda implied by "using su" :-) | 09:07 |
| njsg | llutz: what does that do? | 09:07 |
| ActionParsnip | njsg: you do know that: sudo -i will give you root prompt using your user's profile, so enabling the root account as you have, is not needed | 09:07 |
| llutz | njsg: gives you a root-shell and sets correct root-env | 09:08 |
| ActionParsnip | njsg: the fact that you are asking what that dos should be screaming to you to disable the root account | 09:08 |
| llutz | njsg: man sudo | 09:08 |
| njsg | llutz: I don't have sudo on this machine, I can't RTFM | 09:08 |
| njsg | if I had, I'd have looked it up | 09:08 |
| k1l | !sudo | njsg | 09:08 |
| ubottu | njsg: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 09:08 |
| llutz | njsg: man-pages are available in teh web | 09:08 |
| ActionParsnip | njsg: its default installed in Ubuntu | 09:08 |
| njsg | ActionParsnip: I am aware | 09:09 |
| k1l | and i dont know of an ubuntu without sudo | 09:09 |
| njsg | I'll check on sudo -i on the ubuntu machine I use, then | 09:09 |
| ActionParsnip | k1l: i think its a dep of most things too | 09:09 |
| llutz | ActionParsnip: sudo -i uses roots env, not users profile | 09:09 |
| ActionParsnip | llutz: i thought sudo -s used roots... | 09:09 |
| llutz | ActionParsnip: other way round | 09:10 |
| ActionParsnip | llutz: ahhhh | 09:10 |
| ActionParsnip | llutz: thanks | 09:10 |
| llutz | ActionParsnip: -i = initial login | 09:10 |
| njsg | I know that with su, asking for a login shell seems to get me a clean environment | 09:10 |
| njsg | ah, then sudo -i is kinda the same as su - ? | 09:10 |
| ActionParsnip | njsg: yes | 09:10 |
| llutz | njsg: kinda, su needs an active root account, sudo -i doesn't | 09:10 |
| ActionParsnip | njsg: this is why you dont need to enable the root account in Ubuntu and why keeping it locked is a good idea | 09:11 |
| ActionParsnip | njsg: but people seem to 'know better' and enable it | 09:11 |
| llutz | because its kewl to have root.... | 09:11 |
| ActionParsnip | llutz: sed s/kewl/dumb/g !! | 09:13 |
| njsg | ActionParsnip: I prefer to have root accounts on my computer | 09:14 |
| ActionParsnip | njsg: why? | 09:14 |
| njsg | for a start, why shouldn't I? if I don't have a root account, I need to have some other user accont where I can log in to root | 09:15 |
| llutz | njsg: you always should have other account, root is not an account to work with | 09:15 |
| llutz | and surely not an account to (rmeote) login with | 09:16 |
| * cfhowlett ... Thinks "Some people always gotta iceskate uphill." | 09:16 | |
| ivebeenlinuxed | I can see both sides - root account allows a group of "admins" to be able to log onto a PC with all permissions - very good when turnover is high | 09:16 |
| k1l | njsg: please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 09:16 |
| llutz | ivebeenlinuxed: so does sudo | 09:16 |
| njsg | llutz: root is an account to administer a machine | 09:16 |
| ivebeenlinuxed | however not having a root account allows for better accountability - as `last` will show exactly which "root user" gave the instruction which screwed everything up | 09:16 |
| k1l | please drop the windows-mentality to be always logged in with the "admin" account | 09:17 |
| njsg | I'd even go as far as saying that I'd actually prefer to keep root completely separate from my main account | 09:17 |
| ActionParsnip | njsg: if you have sudo, you dont need it. You are reducing enabled accounts. Root is also common on al Linux boxes so is prime for brute force attacks | 09:17 |
| k1l | njsg: no its not on ubuntu | 09:17 |
| ActionParsnip | njsg: again, why? | 09:17 |
| k1l | njsg: please see the link i gave you twice now | 09:17 |
| ActionParsnip | njsg: you can use sudo and have exectly the same access as root. | 09:17 |
| ivebeenlinuxed | llutz: yes, but with high turnover you have to keep adding and removing accounts | 09:18 |
| ActionParsnip | njsg: you can also control who has access with the sudo group rather than everything done as root with no accountability | 09:18 |
| k1l | i know its common to be root all day in other distros. but its not recommended in ubuntu. thats it | 09:18 |
| llutz | njsg: i know, i'm using linux since a while. still, there is hardly need to login as root | 09:18 |
| ActionParsnip | its just dumb and people who enable it imho, don't know what they are doing or enable it for the sake of it when its not a good idea | 09:18 |
| llutz | ivebeenlinuxed: sudo logs who/when works with sudo-rights -> better control, more important | 09:19 |
| ActionParsnip | njsg: so, why do you enable root? | 09:19 |
| njsg | because it was already enabled. and I prefer it that way, so I keep it that way | 09:19 |
| ActionParsnip | njsg: not in Ubuntu its not | 09:20 |
| ivebeenlinuxed | ActionParsnip: I disagree. I enable it on a key-based authentication in case the LDAP server goes down - but I'm the only one with the id_rsa | 09:20 |
| njsg | ActionParsnip: I am not saying it is. | 09:20 |
| bitnumus | can someone tell me why this package doesnt seem to be in the repo ? | 09:20 |
| bitnumus | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/raring/+package/usb-imagewriter | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip | njsg: well this is Ubuntu support, so its not enabled | 09:20 |
| isoCharset | hi...how can i know what charset is being used in a mounted network device'? | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip | isoCharset: mount may tell you | 09:20 |
| ivebeenlinuxed | llutz: I agree, it has better control - I would only use it if LDAP decided not to work | 09:21 |
| k1l | so we talk about a not_ubuntu and argue about the ubuntu way? come on, this is an ubuntu support channel | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip | bitnumus: does usb-creator-gtk do the same? | 09:21 |
| isoCharset | ActionParsnip: mount just tells it's mounted using cifs...nothing aout hte charset | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip | isoCharset: gah | 09:21 |
| bitnumus | if thats the 'startup disk creator' then no | 09:21 |
| isoCharset | gah? | 09:21 |
| bitnumus | ActionParsnip, where is this package?? | 09:21 |
| bitnumus | why is it on that page but i can't install it | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip | bitnumus: you can use dd to put img files on USB | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | bitnumus: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-imagewriter/+changelog | 09:22 |
| bitnumus | ActionParsnip, i know there are other options, but i want to know where its gone | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | bitnumus: Deleted in raring-release (Reason: requested by ~pitti/~ogra; depends on very old APIs inclu...) | 09:22 |
| bitnumus | meh | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | bitnumus: from the link I just gave you.... | 09:23 |
| isoCharset | hi...how can i know what charset is being used in a mounted network device'? | 09:25 |
| njsg | isoCharset: check "mount", it should show a charset option, if there is any set | 09:25 |
| njsg | if there is none set, it should be using your current locale; you may need to use encoding translations when mounting, say, for windows stuff | 09:26 |
| isoCharset | njsg: none is set...so mount tells nothing...but some one mustve been used...which one? how can i get to know? | 09:26 |
| sgo11 | hi, my evolution is getting crazy. It is refreshing INBOX and retrieving messages forever. I have many mail accounts. NOW, I disabled all of them and left only one enabled. but it still does not work. How to solve this issue? clean evolution cache somehow? thanks. | 09:27 |
| llutz | isoCharset: "locale" or "echo $LANG" | 09:27 |
| isoCharset | njsg: how can i know my current locale, then? | 09:27 |
| ActionParsnip | sgo11: can you ping mail servers? Is your partition full? | 09:27 |
| ActionParsnip | sgo11: is the partition storing data mounted read only? have you run out of inodes? | 09:28 |
| sgo11 | ActionParsnip, I can ping mail servers. my partition is not full. | 09:28 |
| sgo11 | ActionParsnip, I don't think my partition has any problems. | 09:28 |
| isoCharset | I got two computers....on one echo $LANG = ca_ES.utf8 ..... on the other one echo $LANG = ca_ES.UTF-8...why is that slightly different? | 09:28 |
| njsg | isoCharset: both utf8 and UTF-8 are ok | 09:29 |
| njsg | it's something in glibc, I think. you can ask it to generate utf8 or UTF-8, which is the same | 09:29 |
| isoCharset | but they mount the device differently....one characters are well read....on the other one they are'nt | 09:29 |
| sgo11 | ActionParsnip, since evolution is just refreshing folders all the time. I kill -9 it many times and disabled mail accounts and only left one. | 09:29 |
| isoCharset | and command used to mount is exactly the same | 09:29 |
| ActionParsnip | sgo11: if you run: df -i have you ran out of inodes? | 09:30 |
| === klaas_ is now known as klaas | ||
| njsg | isoCharset: and the options shown by "mount" are the same, too? | 09:31 |
| njsg | isoCharset: and I thought I understood a bit of this charset mapping thing, apparently I don't | 09:32 |
| isoCharset | in one mount more info is given than in the other one....but nothing as for charset or codepage | 09:34 |
| sgo11 | ActionParsnip, no. the output looks good. I don't think my partition has any problems. The problem is caused by evolution bug. I think I need to clean its cache somehow. let me describe my problem in more detail: I have 10 mail accounts. two mail servers are blocked by firewall today. evolution are refreshing INBOX forever. I killall -9 evolution many times and disabled 9 accounts and left only 1 account w | 09:34 |
| sgo11 | hose mail server is good. but now, it's still refreshing forever. | 09:34 |

| ikonia | ihre: why do you think you have high cpu wait time ? | 09:58 |
| ikonia | ihre: you only monitor the machine when you have high wait time if you can't do it 24x7 | 09:58 |
| anton_eh | does it matter where you make-install a tarball from on host computer? | 09:59 |
| ikonia | anton_eh: yes, it must be where the make file is that holds the target "install" | 09:59 |
| llutz | !checkinstall | anton_eh you shouldn't use make install at all | 09:59 |
| ubottu | anton_eh you shouldn't use make install at all: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 09:59 |
| ihre | ikonia: I've just installed Zabbix and added 1 host, which reports "Disk I/O is overloaded on CLIENT" every 10 mins, Disk I/O is a trigger connected to cpu iowait. I understand that state "D" in top is common for processes that are waiting for I/O. Top also reports a cpu wait of ~4%. | 10:01 |
| ikonia | ihre: normally you will find it the other way around, that cpu wait is caused by disk/io wait, not disk i/o wait caused by CPU | 10:02 |
| malinator | ihre: you can also try some kind of monitoring utils like cacti ... http://www.linuxscrew.com/2012/03/22/linux-monitoring-tools/ | 10:02 |
| llutz | malinator: zabbix IS a monitoring util | 10:03 |
| ihre | malinator: I've worked with Cacti, yet I wish to learn Zabbix. ikonia: you're right, I've told it in the wrong way. I'm trying to find all processes with top state D at the moment, like described on http://bencane.com/2012/08/06/troubleshooting-high-io-wait-in-linux/ | 10:04 |
| malinator | llutz: yes , its mentioned on link | 10:04 |
| ihre | malinator: problem is, all sorts of monitoring tools report the same problems, yet it can be difficult to pinpoint what the actual issue is. | 10:08 |

| sunny_le | i have an usb drive having fat filesystem, when i am mounting it is telling specify the file system type, but doing with -t option still it fails. | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | sunny_le: when you last unplugged it, did you use the safe removal feature in your OS? | 10:23 |
| sunny_le | ActionParsnip, i mistakenly removed it, when the data transfer was still going on. | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | sunny_le: then you may want to fsck the partition to make sure it is healthy | 10:24 |
| sunny_le | ActionParsnip, will it work as the file system is FAT ? | 10:24 |
| sunny_le | because till i know it repairs only linux filesystem | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | sunny_le: yes as the definitions for FAT are open and known | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | sunny_le: there is fsck.vfat | 10:25 |
| sunny_le | ActionParsnip, ok | 10:25 |
| njsg | sunny_le: fsck is a wrapper that calls the appropriate tool, if any | 10:27 |
| njsg | the ones that work on linux filesystems still depend on the filesystem, say, fsck.ext3 | 10:27 |
| geirha | you'll likely have to install an additional package to get fsck for fat | 10:27 |
| njsg | same for hfsplus and hfs | 10:27 |
| debfan | can someone help me with an ntp problem? my time is out ... I think it's called an 'offset' | 10:29 |
| debfan | it's out 4 hrs and I want to sync it with a server but I don't know how | 10:29 |
| sunny_le | njsg, hoping to solve the prob now | 10:30 |
| njsg | debfan: you need to run ntp-client or somehow force a simple "set to the remote date" | 10:30 |
| debfan | njsg: how? | 10:31 |
| === BrixSat_ is now known as BrixSat | ||
| debfan | I have ntp and ntpdate installed | 10:31 |
| njsg | I mean, I am not sure if ntpd wouldn't do that automatically, maybe it does for large skews | 10:31 |
| njsg | let me see how is it handled here | 10:31 |
| BrixSat | :) | 10:31 |
| ikonia | njsg: you can't sync a drift bigger then 300 seconds, so you'd need to use ntpdate to set the time in sync, then ntpd to keep it in sync | 10:31 |
| debfan | the last thing i did is run ntpdate -s ntp.ubuntu.com | 10:32 |
| debfan | but, nothing output | 10:32 |
| ikonia | njsg: sorry, that was meant for debfan | 10:32 |
| njsg | debfan: ah, ntp-client uses ntpdate here | 10:32 |
| njsg | debfan: the usual thing in UNIX is for commands to output nothing if they do what they are expected to do | 10:32 |
| njsg | did the clock time change? | 10:32 |
| debfan | I have no idea what to do... the problem is the display was showing UTC time - which was the wrong local time | 10:33 |
| njsg | debfan: oh, -s sends output to syslog | 10:33 |
| debfan | so, I manually changed it and now it's out 4 hrs | 10:33 |
| njsg | maybe try without the -s | 10:33 |
| CatKiller | debfan: Use the timezone package instead | 10:33 |
| njsg | you can also do -v for more verbosity | 10:33 |
| CatKiller | debfan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime | 10:34 |
| njsg | wait, one thing is the timezone, the other is the clock sync | 10:34 |
| debfan | can you tell me which command to use then? | 10:34 |
| njsg | do what CatKiller said, the clock sync will set the clock (in UTC terms) correctly | 10:34 |
| ikonia | debfan: I've already told you, you'd need to use ntpdate to set the time as it's over 300 seconds, then use ntpd to keep it in sync | 10:34 |
| CatKiller | It seems here that it's not that the clock was out of sync 4 hours, but that the clock was set 4 hours in the past/future to compensate for the timezone | 10:34 |
| njsg | debfan: it should involve setting /etc/timezone and something else | 10:34 |
| njsg | ah, /etc/localtime, too | 10:35 |
| CatKiller | The link I pasted has all the info: GUI, command line, and also explains how to keep the time in sync | 10:35 |
| debfan | okay, slow down guys, please :) | 10:35 |
| njsg | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime#Using_the_Command_Line_.28unattended.29 <-- jeps, I guess the reconfigure sets /etc/localtime | 10:36 |
| debfan | the time zone is set properly now... I used... your how-to | 10:36 |
| sunny_le | njsg, what command to use ? i am using this but no good result sudo dosfsck -w -r -l -a -v -t /dev/sdc1 | 10:36 |
| debfan | I ran $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata | 10:36 |
| debfan | but | 10:36 |
| debfan | wait | 10:37 |
| debfan | think we're fixed now | 10:37 |
| sunny_le | njsg, also tried fsck.vfat /dev/sdd1 but same results. | 10:37 |
| debfan | thanks, guys! | 10:38 |
| CatKiller | sunny_le: What's the error message btw? | 10:39 |
| debfan | ikonia, njsg, Cat*what?* ;-) .. you guys rule! it's good now, I think | 10:39 |
| sunny_le | CatKiller, bogus number of FAT structure, can't find a valid FAT filesystem | 10:39 |
| CatKiller | sunny_le: What filesystem is supposed to be on sdd1? | 10:40 |
| CatKiller | Fat32? | 10:40 |
| sunny_le | vfat | 10:40 |
| Uragan | hi there! | 10:40 |
| sunny_le | yeah | 10:40 |
| arussel | I'm starting a java app that waits for input. I want it to keep running after I exit so I did: 'nohup java … &' , but it still stops, any hint on what I'm doing wrong ? | 10:40 |
| CatKiller | sunny_le: You could use "testdisk" to try and access the filesystem | 10:41 |
| CatKiller | sudo apt-get install testdisk | 10:41 |
| CatKiller | then "sudo testdisk /dev/sdd1" | 10:41 |
| anhhungven | hi... wanna know how to install ubuntu on my smartphone? | 10:42 |
| geirha | arussel: It won't get any input if you background it. | 10:42 |
| sunny_le | CatKiller, testdisk ? | 10:44 |
| crocket | I'm using chromium 28.0.x. | 10:44 |
| geirha | arussel: Or maybe the issue is something else. The description is a bit vague so far. | 10:44 |
| crocket | When will I get a newer version of chromium? | 10:44 |
| crocket | I'm on ubuntu 13.04 | 10:44 |
| CatKiller | sunny_le: It's a utility designed to recover partitions but it can also read filesystems. Basically to see if testdisk can detect the filesystem in question | 10:44 |
| geirha | arussel: "waits for input" from where? what does it do when it reaches end of input? "after I exit", exit what? | 10:45 |
| arussel | geirha: I don't want it to have any input, I just want it to wait, but somehow, adding nohup makes it stop | 10:45 |
| arussel | geirha: the user | 10:45 |
| arussel | exit the shell I used to run the command | 10:45 |
| geirha | arussel: so it wants input from the terminal? You deprive it of the possibility of that. So then it's up to the app how it chooses to handle that. | 10:46 |
| CatKiller | Once you run "testdisk" on your partition, select "proceed", choose "None" for partition type (sdd1 is already a partition, therefore non partitionned itself), then "Advanced", and there you should "see" your filesystem | 10:46 |
| geirha | arussel: Perhaps you'll want to run it with screen or tmux instead. | 10:47 |
| CatKiller | I think with FAT32 you might be able to browse the files | 10:47 |
| thinknow | Hi, why dosnt the software updater give me the chance to upgrade?

| CatKiller | otherwise you can create an image from the filesystem and then you could store this somewhere to fsck it | 10:47 |
| sunny_le | CatKiller, following what you said | 10:47 |
| arussel | geirha: screen might be better | 10:48 |

| CatKiller | sunny_le: Some background on testdisk: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk | 10:50 |
| geirha | crocket: You probably used useradd instead of adduser | 10:51 |
| crocket | geirha, no | 10:52 |
| crocket | geirha, ubuntu graphical setup wizard had a user registration step. | 10:52 |
| crocket | I created a user there. | 10:52 |

| universal | ActionParsnip: well, two brackets are needed for sure for priority calculation 1st (120*3) & (145*9) and then sum of both results as {(120*3)+(145*9)} divided by 12, now if I use only small brackets as ((120*3)+(145*9))/12 then result is just fine, thing is that is there any bug in libre office which returns error multiple types of brackets are used in a single cell calculation | 12:23 |
| mika__ | and at CLI i can use my passwd without any problem | 12:23 |

| mika__ | ActionParsnip: ok wait. | 12:25 |
| alsami | i want to change the desktop ip | 12:25 |
| cfhowlett | templer, you might consider xubuntu or lubuntu as they are optimized for older / lower tech devices such as yours | 12:25 |
| ActionParsnip | alsami: your IP is set by your provider, you can use a proxy server to send data through | 12:25 |
| templer | think its the an integragted intel one so no real dedicated one | 12:25 |

| ubottu | repudiate: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 13:12 |
| Dai_1987 | subby1_: yes, that get set up too, just pay attention tot he installer, it isn't needlessly complicated | 13:12 |
| bennypr0fane | thanks lotuspsychje | 13:13 |
| lotuspsychje | bennypr0fane: no sweat! | 13:13 |
| repudiate | lotuspsychje: It was a joke. | 13:13 |
| subby1_ | Dai_1987: ok thanks......now can u tell me how to create a live usb for the same purpose | 13:13 |
| Cuprum | subby1_: But listen, 698GB just for Ubuntu may not be such a good idea. You can shrink some space from there and install Ubuntu in it. | 13:13 |

| sameh | ok i will sir but i befor install ubuntu 13 and have problem in intel card vig | 13:13 |
| Dai_1987 | subby1_: download the iso, download unetbootin, use unetbootin to make a bootable USB from the ISO | 13:14 |
| lotuspsychje | sameh: try 13.04 it will work for sure | 13:14 |
| sameh | ok i have problem in intel driver | 13:14 |
| Dai_1987 | subby1_: make sure your pc will boot from usb | 13:14 |
| sameh | no no no no i try it | 13:14 |
| lotuspsychje | sameh: intel wifi driver? | 13:14 |
| subby1_ | Cuprum: ok i ll keep dat in mind....... | 13:14 |
| sameh | mack problem in intel driver | 13:15 |
| subby1_ | Dai_1987: ok thanks ...... | 13:15 |
| sameh | no vag | 13:15 |
| sameh | driver intel vag | 13:16 |
| Cuprum | Dai_1987: I think it would be better subby1_ shrinks 698GB partition to a less amount and then install Ubuntu in the smaller partition.... Else 698GB just for Ubuntu?? What do you think? | 13:16 |
| Dai_1987 | Cuprum: totally agree, I normally set linux partitions at 100GB and that's probably overkill | 13:17 |
| lotuspsychje | sameh: lol you mean vga driver? | 13:17 |
| sameh | i have min laptop is samsung s100np | 13:17 |
| sameh | yes | 13:17 |
| sameh | vga driver | 13:17 |
| lotuspsychje | sameh: if 13.04 is too high for your intel card, try xubuntu or lubuntu | 13:17 |
| sameh | so now i install 11 ubuntu | 13:18 |
| sameh | and i have problem in vga driver | 13:18 |
| sameh | i hat win 7 and win 8 | 13:18 |
| subby1_ | Dai_1987: On second thought .... wat if i want to install ubuntu on my c: drive where i hv already installed win 7 and the total space is 68.1 gb and i hv used 25.9gb | 13:18 |
| lotuspsychje | sameh: ubuntu 11.04 has been removed, you need to install another version | 13:18 |
| Dai_1987 | subby1_: ubuntu needs to be on its own partition | 13:18 |
| sameh | opssssss do u have skybe sir | 13:19 |
| subby1_ | Dai_1987: ya but cant i shrink the partition of win 7 and then install it??? | 13:19 |
| philinux | subby1_: you need to defrag twice and use windows to shrink it's partition to create some space | 13:19 |
| Dai_1987 | windows wont shrink the active partition | 13:20 |
| subby1_ | Dai_1987: ohh kk..... | 13:20 |
| philinux | It did on this laptop - win 7 | 13:20 |
| philinux | If you dont use win 7 to shrink it you asking for trouble | 13:20 |
| subby1_ | philinux: k... | 13:21 |
| Dai_1987 | philinux: ah, shrink works, grow doesn't | 13:21 |
| philinux | Dai_1987: indeed | 13:22 |
| Dai_1987 | subby1_: just use some of the free space, not all of it | 13:22 |
| philinux | never tried grow | 13:22 |
| Dai_1987 | philinux: anything under 250GB is way too small for Windows IMO though, apps are huge these days | 13:22 |
| subby1_ | Dai_1987: u mean from c : drive?? | 13:22 |
| Dai_1987 | philinux: you can use gparted or similar to grow C: | 13:22 |
| Dai_1987 | i've done that before, never needed to shrink it though | 13:23 |
| Dai_1987 | subby1_: you can change the size of C: and use the resulting free space but you cant install ubuntu on C: without wiping out windows | 13:23 |
| philinux | Dai_1987: my win 7 partition is 70 gig. more than enough for me. Only use it for skygo and office | 13:24 |
| subby1_ | Dai_1987: can u tell me how to change the size of c: | 13:24 |
| Dai_1987 | my steam games take up about five times that | 13:24 |
| Dai_1987 | subby1_: you can use windows disk management tool | 13:24 |
| Dai_1987 | subby1_: im not in front of a windows machine so i can't help any more than that | 13:25 |
| lotuspsychje | subby1_: try the ##windows channel for win support | 13:25 |
| subby1_ | Dai_1987: k.... thanks... | 13:26 |
| Cuprum | Dai_1987: I also used Win Disk Management but I don't think I had to defrag it before I shrunk it. I may be wrong though.... | 13:26 |
| Cuprum | I did that ages ago.. | 13:27 |
| philinux | subby1_: this is my 250 gig drive setup. http://imagebin.org/273186 | 13:27 |
| Dai_1987 | i've never shrunk a partition but i can see why defagging might be required | 13:27 |
| philinux | Dai_1987: if you dont it will only shrink so far | 13:27 |
| Dai_1987 | makes sense | 13:27 |
| philinux | there's a minimum it will do cos some files cant bbe moved from "end of partition" | 13:28 |
| Cuprum | philinux: Yeah I remember the minimum thingy..... better for subby1_ would be to go for the 698GB partition that he has, shrink it and leave the Win partition as it is. Win apps and softwares take huge spaces anyway... | 13:30 |
| Cuprum | Dai_1987: ^ | 13:30 |
| smodav | nice | 13:30 |
| Dai_1987 | yeah, he seemed reluctant to use that space | 13:31 |
| philinux | Cuprum: 70 gig enough for me like i said office and browser plus no crapware | 13:31 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Is there a cmdline tool that emits a beep or any notification sound through the soundcard? | 13:32 |

| xyzwhatever | where can I get help for the tcsh shell? | 13:33 |
| smodav | which is the best download manager? | 13:33 |
| lotuspsychje | !info tcsh | 13:33 |

| kostkon | Eduard_Munteanu, canberra-gtk-play | 13:35 |
| smodav | Cuprum: I had issues with wget but hopping it will work since I changed os to pinguy | 13:35 |
| kostkon | Eduard_Munteanu, give: man canberra-gtk-play for the manual | 13:35 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | kostkon: mm, is that a graphical tool? I want to trigger stuff from scripts. | 13:35 |
| halfak | Hey guys. Network Manager is constantly asking me for my wireless password. Sadly top google results didn't help. (e.g. http://askubuntu.com/questions/64903/network-manager-asks-for-wireless-password-continually) Ideas? | 13:35 |
| Pici | Eduard_Munteanu: either the beep package or print a \a via echo | 13:36 |
| kostkon | Eduard_Munteanu, nope, cmd tool. uses the notification sound system of gnome | 13:36 |
| === arges_ is now known as arges | ||
| Eduard_Munteanu | Pici: beep uses the speaker, I'd like to use the soundcard. And \a requires a console. | 13:36 |
| kostkon | Eduard_Munteanu, either give it the name of the event you want or the path of your own audio file. | 13:36 |
| mika__ | ActionParsnip: btw i problem solved. i rm .Xauthority and .ICEauth*. now i can use my gui again :) | 13:38 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Ouch, one too many deps. This is a server-like install, I guess I should just grab a file from that package. | 13:38 |
| kostkon | Eduard_Munteanu, then aplay or if the server comes with pulseaudio, which i doubt, then paplay | 13:38 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | aplay/ALSA is alright. | 13:39 |
| kostkon | Eduard_Munteanu, aplay is fine | 13:40 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Hm, 'sox' looks good. | 13:40 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | It can generate waveforms. | 13:40 |
| Daniel_1 | hi, I have this strange ipv6 problem on an ubuntu server I'm running. It has a default route but can't send any packages. (ping tells me 'sendmsg: Network is down'). the only way I found to fix this is to manually delete and replace the default route. | 13:42 |
| Daniel_1 | btw. this only happens since I use a network bridge (br0) instead of the real interface (eth0) | 13:44 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Daniel_1: sounds like someone is advertising wrong IPv6 routes | 13:44 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Daniel_1: is your box accepting RAs? | 13:45 |
| Daniel_1 | Eduard_Munteanu: the routes are configured using autoconf and are correct. let me show you the route: default via fe80::21d:e5ff:fe47:2845 dev br0 proto kernel metric 1024 expires 1657sec mtu 1500 advmss 1440 hoplimit 64 | 13:45 |
| Daniel_1 | if I delete that route and manually re-add it using the exact values given in that line, it works | 13:45 |
| xyzwhatever | ok i hope someone can help me or redirect me to a channel | 13:47 |
| Daniel_1 | also I'm in a corporate network and can't use static addresses or routes :/ | 13:47 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Daniel_1: what about the interfaces in the bridge? | 13:47 |
| xyzwhatever | in tcsh, everything between ' ' is not interpreted by the shell. I have a program that expects an input like this: filename'[1..100]' | 13:47 |
| xyzwhatever | now i want to replace a number with a variable: e.g. filename'[$a..100]' | 13:48 |
| Daniel_1 | the bridge contains the ethernet interface (i.e. eth0) and vnet{0,1,2} | 13:48 |
| xyzwhatever | but since the shell doesnt replace the value of the variable with a number because its in ' ' the program gives me an error | 13:48 |
| Daniel_1 | I connected KVM virtual machines to the bridge to expose them to the network. | 13:48 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Daniel_1: I think you may get packets leaving on the bridge and returning on one of the interfaces... what other routes do you have? | 13:48 |
| Daniel_1 | 1 sec. I'll create a pastebin of ip -6 r | 13:49 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Daniel_1: did you disable RA accepting for the bridged interfaces? I'm not sure that happens by default. | 13:49 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Secondly, if it's a server consider DHCPv6 PD. | 13:50 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | But that's just as a sidenote. | 13:50 |

| Daniel_1 | Eduard_Munteanu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6213835/ is the output of ip -6 r | 13:51 |
| Daniel_1 | don't I need to accept RAs to get routes via autoconf? | 13:52 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Daniel_1: yes, but for the bridge interface, not its components | 13:53 |
| Daniel_1 | oh, I see what you mean. I'll check that. | 13:53 |

| Eduard_Munteanu | Daniel_1: btw, IP forwarding automatically disables RAs. So it might be the case you're disabling it exactly on the br0 and it's getting some other route as default. | 14:01 |
| impradeepy | yes :)well m trying to install it through extracting .tar.xz but after ./configure make step is in infinite loops | 14:02 |

| Christian87 | installation runs smoothly but the system dont boot | 14:05 |
| Daniel_1 | same for the individual and the bridge interfaces | 14:05 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Daniel_1: alright, try disabling RAs for the bridge component interfaces. | 14:05 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Daniel_1: or just disable it globally and enable it on br0 specifically | 14:06 |

| impradeepy | plz check it | 14:14 |
| impradeepy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6213914/ | 14:15 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Dwarf: headless as in a computer without a video card, or just automatic? | 14:15 |
| Daniel_1 | ok, I disabled accept_ra for the individual interfaces. I guess now I need to wait for the server to get a new route on the bridge interface? | 14:15 |
| mydog2 | Eduard_Munteanu, - they don't.. but i'm going to need bidirectional communication. and i really don't want to have openvpn on each box, and then have to deal with configuring each, and then remotely managing/monitoring the open vpn app | 14:15 |
| Dwarf | Headless as in I only want to install the base system and I'll install the graphical part myself | 14:15 |

| foofoobar_ | Hi. Does someone have a Dell XPS13? If yes, can you check which the default cpu temp is under normal load? | 14:17 |
| ubottu | Dwarf: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 14:17 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Daniel_1: radvdump can watch for RAs, if you want to look at them. | 14:17 |
| Dwarf | I'll go with the minimal one, it sounds like the debian netinstall | 14:17 |
| impradeepy | @idleone did u see it?? | 14:17 |

| foofoobar_ | *spin up the fan | 14:22 |
| ThRiX_ | I read in a guide:"This does not work for a PXE server running 10.04.1 LTS, nor does it work for clients trying to run 10.04.1 LTS. The client receives an offer from DHCP, gets the kernel, and fails while trying to load. NOTE: It WILL work if you add required module names in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules (module names for your network adapters, like forcedeth or tulip)" | 14:22 |
| ThRiX_ | and I added in "/ etc / initramfs-tools / modules" module "bnx2". But the result is not changed ... | 14:23 |
| ThRiX_ | you have any advice? | 14:23 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | foofoobar_: they usually switch to performance profiles when on AC (e.g. maximum CPU frequency etc) | 14:23 |
| Daniel_1 | Eduard_Munteanu: thx a lot. that seems to solve the issue. | 14:23 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Daniel_1: cool | 14:23 |

| foofoobar_ | I'm under ubuntu 12.04 | 14:24 |
| foofoobar_ | I already installed tlp | 14:24 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | Daniel_1: have a look at DHCPv6 though, especially Prefix Delegation. If there's such a server, they can give you your own prefix, and if it's larger than /64 you can split it further to your VMs. | 14:24 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | foofoobar_: mm, I'm unsure. | 14:25 |

| Eduard_Munteanu | mydog2: why port forwarding? Are your servers behind a firewall? | 14:26 |
| foofoobar | Eduard_Munteanu, I got a complete freeze, sorry.. Another thing I have to look into, but first the power thing | 14:27 |
| foofoobar | Is there a way to see which power profile is in use? Or to stop this? | 14:27 |
| foofoobar | I dont want to hear the fan when plugging in the AC | 14:27 |
| jhutchins | foofoobar: What's probably happening is that your power manager is set to increase the CPU speed when it's on line power instead of battery. Change that setting in the power manager and it should behave normally. | 14:28 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | foofoobar: well the problem is it's not just one thing... it's an interaction between upower, ACPI, cpufreq, graphics drivers, and I'm unsure how distros handle this these days. | 14:28 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | foofoobar: I'd start searching the Ubuntu wiki for power management-related topics. | 14:29 |
| foofoobar | okay | 14:29 |

| repudiate | Eduard_Munteanu: What does GNOME offer exactly? | 14:31 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | mydog2: normally you should just give them public IPs. Otherwise, yeah, you can do port forwarding, sure. I'm not sure what you're asking though? | 14:31 |
| ThRiX_ | Thanks jhutchins | 14:31 |
| SuperLag | I have a desktop that I've made headless for the time being, as I'm using another machine as my primary. How do I make sure that processes that would normally have started when logging into the UI still start, even though I'm not logging in that way? | 14:32 |
| mydog2 | Eduard_Munteanu, - thanks.. i'll figure it out | 14:32 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | repudiate: the desktop environment. | 14:32 |

| subby1 | I want to create a dual boot with ubuntu on my pc and I already have win 7 .....my disc space in c: is 68.1 gb and I hv used 29 gb | 14:33 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | SuperLag: configure your login manager to autologin, and perhaps configure xorg to use the 'dummy' driver if you don't have a video card at all. | 14:33 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | repudiate: oops, I forgot about Unity. I'm just saying everything involving 3D effects will likely be slow (unless you do VGA passthrough). | 14:34 |
| gaussblurinc | hello! how about google drive on linux? | 14:35 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | gaussblurinc: hi... what about it? | 14:35 |
| repudiate | Eduard_Munteanu: What's a VGA passthrough exactly? | 14:35 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | You should just ask directly. | 14:35 |
| bjoswald | There is no native client | 14:35 |
| bjoswald | If that's what you're asking | 14:36 |
| hitsujiTMO | mydog2: are you on about having all clients ssh to a single server which forwards the connection to their server? | 14:37 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | repudiate: if your hardware supports Intel VT-d / AMD IOMMU, you can give your guest OS full control over the video card, so it won't be using a slow, emulated one. | 14:37 |
| gaussblurinc | bjoswald: yes, native client, uh :\ | 14:37 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | gaussblurinc: I think there might be a FUSE driver for it | 14:38 |

| Eduard_Munteanu | repudiate: google for {VGA,PCI} passthrough and {KVM,Virtualbox}. | 14:39 |

| gdos | for some reason my system wide language has been changed from en_US to en_UK and now i get funny little characters whenever i enter (or other) xfce-terminal - tried setxkbmap en and get error loading new keyboard description; what's happening is that every other char is a little box with ones and zeros. (...especially when displaying colors.) | 14:40 |
| gordonjcp | gdos: that's standard | 14:41 |
| gdos | the little box with ones and zeros? | 14:41 |

| foofoobar | Eduard_Munteanu, the strange thing is .. when I plug in the charger, the cpu temp does not increase, but a few seconds later the fan starts to spin | 14:42 |
| foofoobar | and the cpu temp still as before | 14:42 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | foofoobar: possibly, if it's still mostly idle. | 14:43 |

| lotuspsychje | lnxslck: maybe the guys in #ubuntu+1 might know | 14:46 |

| Eduard_Munteanu | Actually a power management thing as a whole. | 14:47 |
| hitsujiTMO | Eduard_Munteanu: yes you are right, but some older laptops do have fan controls in the bios | 14:47 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | The BIOS usually just provides ACPI states and frequency/voltage tables. | 14:48 |

| ArnoMoonen | Hi, I'm looking for an easy tool that I can run in a live environment to create a live USB thumb drive. Any suggestions? | 14:51 |
| impradeepy | not working | 14:51 |
| lotuspsychje | ArnoMoonen: ubuntu livedvd has usb startup disk creator | 14:51 |
| impradeepy | but thanku | 14:52 |
| ArnoMoonen | Something like this: https://launchpad.net/liveusb - but I can't install this in my install using the PPA repo (no recent version available) | 14:52 |
| impradeepy | i found other working ppa | 14:52 |
| franz__ | hi i need help, i create live usb, the machine forze I forced shutdown by pressing Power button, now usb is only read | 14:52 |
| franz__ | how do I fix this_ | 14:52 |
| foofoobar | Eduard_Munteanu, I cant find any good links on this | 14:53 |
| ArnoMoonen | lotuspsychje thanks.. does that work if the source disc is the disc that the live environment is running from? | 14:53 |
| === harmagent is now known as vector | ||
| lotuspsychje | ArnoMoonen: you have to download a new iso, with the livedvd and make startup disk to your usb stick | 14:54 |
| franz__ | hi i need help, i create live usb, the machine froze I forced shutdown by pressing Power button, now usb is only read | 14:54 |
| ArnoMoonen | lotuspsychje That doesn't work in my use case. We've created a live DVD that students can use during a workshop, but we want to make it easy to clone them to a USB drive so that they can work with the software at home | 14:55 |
| b0x | erm | 14:55 |
| ArnoMoonen | lotuspsychje they usually don't have an internet connection and including an iso of the live environment on the live environment isn't really workable | 14:55 |
| lotuspsychje | ArnoMoonen: so your students will be getting the livedvd to their homes? | 14:57 |
| hitsujiTMO | ArnoMoonen: from what I remember http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ allows you to create an image from live iso to USB that also gives you the option for persistent storage | 14:58 |
| ArnoMoonen | lotuspsychje not really. they will use a custom live image (DVD or USB) during the workshop and we'll be able to 'clone' this DVD/USB to their own USB thumb drive | 14:58 |
| lotuspsychje | ArnoMoonen: cant you download the iso on the workshop computer so they can make one? | 14:59 |
| lotuspsychje | ArnoMoonen: or try what hitsujiTMO suggested you | 15:00 |
| ArnoMoonen | Unfortunately we can not. Most of the time we don't even have access to the internet on those computers (the workshop is given across multiple institutes) | 15:00 |

| techGUY | Hello all. I have an LSI sym8751spe SCSI card, trying to get is working in Ubuntu 10.04. The card shows up in 'lspci' command, but drives do not show up anywhere I looked. Why? | 15:03 |
| gdos | so how do i remove the little boxes of ones and zeros when displaying colors in xfce-terminal? | 15:03 |
| ArnoMoonen | I'll just see if I can somehow rebuild liveusb, even though I'm not familiar with that at all | 15:04 |
| hitsujiTMO | gdos: sounds like the font used does not have the chars needed... try changing the font | 15:05 |
| lotuspsychje | ArnoMoonen: how about making 1 liveUSB stick with ubuntu, and drag n drop the iso image togheter on it | 15:05 |
| ActionParsnip | techGUY: tried 12.04? | 15:05 |
| lotuspsychje | ArnoMoonen: not sure if it wont affect the install process | 15:06 |
| gdos | hitsujiTMO: recommend a good font viewer? | 15:06 |
| ArnoMoonen | lotuspsychje: that's a possible workaround. But that would almost double the size needed and it's cumbersome (we're planning updates) | 15:07 |
| semitones | What's that command that ActionParsnip knows that fixes mouse problems upon resume by killing the mouse and starting it again? | 15:07 |
| ActionParsnip | semitones: sudo modprobe -r psmouse; sleep 2; sudo modprobe psmouse | 15:07 |
| techGUY | @ActionParsnip: No I have not. Will give it a try. Thanks | 15:07 |

| === dengyue is now known as deng | ||

| ActionParsnip | semitones: could script it | 15:08 |

| semitones | ActionParsnip, right now, it only messes up about 1 in 20 times I resume from sleep. I'm not sure what's special about that 1/20th time. | 15:11 |
| ircdeng | nick | 15:15 |
| hitsujiTMO | gdos: ahh, soory, i missed the fact that it happened on colors specifically. can you provide a screen shot? | 15:16 |

| gdos | hisujiTMO: http://en.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-10092013-091312am.php | 15:17 |
| hitsujiTMO | ok, that indeed does look like an invalid character | 15:18 |
| === deng is now known as ircdeng | ||
| hitsujiTMO | it may be caused by, as I originally suggested; missing characters in the font, but, more likely given that it's happening in the colours it could be an invalid terminal promt config | 15:21 |
| gdos | hitsujiTMO: in .bashrc ? | 15:26 |
| geirha | gdos: what does echo "$TERM" say? | 15:26 |
| hitsujiTMO | gdos: look at $PS1 | 15:26 |

| pandaroot | why is that as mentioned in the debmirror wiki when i am doing sudo chmod -R 571 /home/UbuntuMirror i can't access the mirror but when i change the permissions to 777 it works | 15:29 |
| ActionParsnip | gdos: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 15:29 |
| apatters | Is there any reason to use the virtual terminals on ctrl+alt+f1-6, aside from getting X back up if it's not running? | 15:29 |
| ircdeng | what is the valid email for register | 15:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | gdos: if its not that and not the font, then they're may be a mismatch between char encodings somewhere | 15:29 |
| ircdeng | could someone help me ? | 15:29 |
| geirha | pandaroot: Because you're not the owner of that dir, nor are you a member of the group that owns the dir. on a side note, never set 777 on a file or directory | 15:30 |
| Dai_1987 | ircdeng: valid email for registering what? | 15:31 |

| ircdeng | Dai_1987: register the nickname | 15:32 |

| apatters | geirha: Of course :) just wondering if there are any reasons that anyone prefers to use a vt instead of X even when they do have X | 15:34 |
| geirha | pandaroot: Depends on what type of access you want for the directory, but if you add your user to the group, then 770 will give the owner and the members of the group that owns it, full access, while other users will have no access | 15:34 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntuxfce1304: make a backup copy of the file before editting | 15:35 |

| x0077BE | Oi oi. I have a question. | 16:27 |
| x0077BE | I have just built a program (hostapd) from source, and it built it in whatever directory it was in. | 16:27 |
| x0077BE | How do I like... install it? | 16:28 |
| x0077BE | Because when I install it from apt-get, it puts it in various places. | 16:28 |
| x0077BE | /sbin/, /etc/, etc. | 16:28 |
| x0077BE | But when I build it it's just sitting there in the hostapd file. | 16:28 |
| Tylertwo | x0077BE, were you having an issue with it being in various places? | 16:29 |
| loa | x0077BE, you can do make install, but it is not ubuntu way | 16:29 |
| x0077BE | No, but I had to use a custom config. | 16:29 |
| buhman | x0077BE: generally build systems will have an 'install' target or similar, but realize if you do this directly, the copied files will not be tracked by your package manager | 16:29 |
| x0077BE | So I can't use the binary from the repository. | 16:29 |

| Godmy | (since I can access the "livecd" only via some preinstalled OS... I could of course try to connect there some hdd with liveCD... but that's too much work) | 16:31 |
| x0077BE | I just don't quite get what you mean by "modifying the source package" | 16:31 |
| x0077BE | I can build my own config and import it into the package manager? | 16:31 |
| Godmy | (and thank you in advance :) ) | 16:31 |
| buhman | Godmy: if you had space available on your target disk, you could simply chroot your installation media and continue with the installation that way | 16:32 |
| buhman | x0077BE: I suggest you read up on how ubuntu packaging works. | 16:32 |
| Godmy | hm, I have to learn more about the procedure :) | 16:32 |
| buhman | Godmy: you'll loop mount said installation media, mount api filesystems, then chroot(1) | 16:33 |
| wylde | !checkinstall | x0077BE | 16:33 |
| ubottu | x0077BE: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages.

| veryhappy | hi guys where can I use AES in my system | 16:57 |
| ikonia | veryhappy: what do you mean, "where can you use it" ? | 16:58 |
| veryhappy | for which purposes in Ubuntu can I use AES? | 16:59 |
| ikonia | it's an encyption standard, so you use it for encyption | 16:59 |
| SolarisBoy | AES is generally used in encryption | 16:59 |
| veryhappy | that's what I already know fortunately | 16:59 |
| SolarisBoy | so what do you mean? | 16:59 |
| ikonia | then what are you asking ? | 17:00 |
| === tarndt is now known as undriedsea | ||
| veryhappy | I want to know what I can use this encryption for. | 17:00 |
| ikonia | veryhappy: encypting things....anything you want | 17:01 |
| SolarisBoy | to protect sensitive data | 17:01 |
| SolarisBoy | yea | 17:01 |
| raub | veryhappy: find what you are trying to encrypt -- ldap, kerberos, ssh, pgp, etc -- and see if it supports that | 17:02 |
| raub | My rule of thumb is to use the strongest encryption both parties can support | 17:03 |
| hitsujiTMO | veryhappy: you're probably using AES right now if you're using wifi ... Most modern wifi routers default to AES encryption | 17:03 |
| ikonia | my rule of thumb is...if you don't know what it is/how to use it/what to encrypt, stop thinking about it | 17:03 |
| dsb | why does the kernel try to IP-Config during boot on an Ubuntu machine, even if there is no network configuration, or even network connected? My system is looping with "IP-Config: ethX hardware address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx mtu 1500 DHCP RARP" endlessly during boot. | 17:04 |
| veryhappy | OK so I can use it to encrypt my emails? keyword NSA? or files/directories/partitions/hard disks/perhaps also CD ROMs/DVDs? | 17:04 |
| SolarisBoy | openssl/openssh both support AES - we use it more often than we think | 17:04 |
| ikonia | not this NSA stuff again | 17:04 |
| ikonia | veryhappy: if the encyption tool you are using supports it - you can use it to encypt anything, keep in mind it needs to be unencypted also | 17:05 |
| Trudko | guys i have warning when istalling passanger(ruby gem) WARNING: Apache doesn't seem to be compiled with the 'prefork', 'worker' or 'event' MPM We recommend you to abort this installer and to recompile Apache with either the 'prefork' or the 'worker' MPM. How to recompile it I have never done it | 17:05 |
| raub | dsb: using network manager? | 17:06 |
| dsb | No | 17:06 |
| dsb | This is a server. | 17:06 |
| ikonia | Trudko: you don't need to recompile it, there is an apache prefork package | 17:06 |
| dsb | And it's right after the NIC driver is loaded. | 17:06 |
| SolarisBoy | Trudko: just install the prefork version | 17:06 |
| raub | Trudko: I think there are diff apache packages for that | 17:06 |
| veryhappy | ikonia like you I'd like not to think about this NSA stuff again the NSA makes us think about privacy | 17:06 |
| Trudko | so should I unstill existing apache and istall prefork one?! | 17:06 |
| ikonia | it really doesn't | 17:06 |
| dsb | We had a power outage yesterday, and this server is doing this now. | 17:06 |
| SolarisBoy | Trudko: sure | 17:07 |
| SolarisBoy | Trudko: back up your configs first. | 17:07 |
| dsb | I just don't understand why the kernel is doing anything with the NIC configuration at this point. It's not ifup/ifdown stuff. I would understand if it was doing a network boot, but it's not. | 17:07 |
| Trudko | SolarisBoy: apache configs? | 17:07 |

| SolarisBoy | good call.. | 17:10 |
| raub | dsb: I am curious myself. I always thought the kernel would only care about whether there is a network device or not. And then pass that to the network scripts which should then read /etc/network/interfaces | 17:11 |
| raub | Scary if you ask me | 17:11 |
| dsb | raub: that was my understanding, too. | 17:12 |
| dsb | I've booted into a live usb stick OK, and see the filesystems w/o problem. | 17:12 |

| spm-Draget | Can someone clarify how to monitor other linux hosts with icinga? | 17:14 |
| ikonia | spm-Draget: using a howtoforge link = bad, using a howtoforge link for an old release = very bad | 17:14 |
| gdos | ikonia: through xfce-terminal and again through guake. | 17:15 |
| raub | ESPGuillermo: if you are using the normal ubuntu install image, it should ask you wehre you want to put it | 17:15 |
| spm-Draget | ikonia: True. | 17:15 |
| Pici | spm-Draget: don't install recommends when you install nagios-nrpe-plugin. | 17:15 |
| Pici | spm-Draget: i.e.: sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends nagios-nrpe-plugin. | 17:15 |
| ESPGuillermo | raub yeah it does, only option is C:\ drive which I don't have enough storage for, say 18gb, Ubuntu. So I'm considering an external hard drive to install ubuntu | 17:15 |
| spm-Draget | Pici: Thanks | 17:16 |

| dhrosa | hello, I have a problem with my keyboard where sometimes the spacebar gets double p ressed, can I configure ubuntu to ignore repeated key presses? | 18:12 |
| paulus68 | ed__: udf stands for user defined format and why do you want linux to read window7 install disk | 18:12 |
| tgm4883 | paulus68, I think you mean "Universal Disk Format" | 18:14 |
| ed__ | paulus68: as far as I know, udf stands for universal disc format. I'm trying to reinstall windows 7 because I don't want ubuntu anymore, but a lot of linux os have trouble reading udf | 18:14 |
| ed__ | I've read advice on various forums, but nothing seems to work | 18:14 |

| Lixd | :) | 19:07 |
| Voziv | Is there a way to only allow a hostname through the firewall? (Dynamic ip address issue) | 19:09 |
| Lixd | <- So I guess nobody has tried that... | 19:09 |
| saiarcot895 | Lixd: I would guess it would work, provided you boot to that partition | 19:10 |
| ikonia | Lixd: a livecd is different from an installer, so it would depend on how you want to "use it as a source" | 19:10 |
| hitsujiTMO | Voziv: is this in a local environment or over net? | 19:10 |
| Voziv | Over net | 19:10 |
| Lixd | saiarcot895: I will make sure; ikonia: the utility unetbootin makes that possible as it seems | 19:11 |
| ejv | public facing mysql server, without a firewall device, is not recommended. use with caution. | 19:11 |
| Lixd | and should take care about MBR and such stuff | 19:11 |
| ikonia | Lixd: well no - it's not actually that simple | 19:11 |
| Lixd | ikonia: it is not? | 19:11 |
| ikonia | Lixd: on paper the concept is sane, | 19:11 |
| tgm4883 | Voziv, I would suggest port knocking | 19:11 |
| Lixd | So what's the problem? | 19:11 |
| ikonia | Lixd: keep in mind the installer expect certain things in certain loctions in a certain state, if you then change them and make a "new" livemedia, things may not be in the state expected | 19:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | Voziv: I cannot think of a single way of allowing access via hostname ... but depending on the service there could be some other of securing the connection | 19:12 |
| Voziv | ok | 19:12 |
| Lixd | ikonia: how so if it can work on a USB | 19:12 |
| tgm4883 | !info knockd | 19:12 |

| tgm4883 | Voziv, I would look at knockd | 19:12 |

| Lixd | can be made to USB | 19:12 |
| ikonia | Lixd: yes, you can install the standard ubuntu image from a USB....that's not what you said, you said make a custom livecd. | 19:13 |

| ikonia | have I missunderstood, if so sorry | 19:13 |
| Lixd | ikona: I want to proceed as if making a USB ubuntu installation flash drive, but with a harddisk (non usb) | 19:14 |
| Lixd | which... should work I suppose | 19:14 |
| ikonia | Lixd: ahhh | 19:14 |
| Lixd | (with my secondary harddisk) | 19:14 |
| Lixd | so I guess if I make my computer to boot at it, it should work as a USB | 19:14 |
| ikonia | Lixd: the issue you may have there is actually booting it, which should be an easy fix, but that should work | 19:14 |
| tgm4883 | Voziv, I'm unaware of allowing a hostname though a firewall, but if you want something more secure than port knocking, perhaps single packet authorization? | 19:14 |
| Lixd | (that computer has problems with USB booting) | 19:15 |
| Lixd | ikonia: yeah... | 19:15 |
| ikonia | Lixd: apologies, miss-understood what you where trying to do | 19:15 |
| Lixd | that computer is right now cdrom-less (and I'm too in general) and having troubles booting from USB even when I choose to boot it... it always gives me "Boot error" (but the same flash drive works on any other computer ) | 19:15 |
| Lixd | ikonia: no problem... | 19:15 |
| hitsujiTMO | voziv: the easiest option may be to use a vpn | 19:16 |
| Voziv | I just found an interesting approach. Running a cron job that resolves a host name periodically and updates the firewall based on the ip address | 19:19 |
| clarisse | Bonsoir | 19:21 |
| TJ- | Voziv: Allowing netfilters access to a hostname is possible, via scripting, if the DNS zone has a short TTL so the hostname and currently allocated IP are always in sync. A cron job runs every minute that does "iptables -D INPUT -s $LAST_IP/32 -j ACCEPT; LAST_IP=$(dig $HOSTNAME); iptables -A INPUT -s $LAST_IP/32 -j ACCEPT" | 19:21 |
| Voziv | yeah. I'm looking at doing something similar | 19:22 |
| TJ- | Voziv: Obviously the script needs to 'save' $LAST_IP to a file so it can be sourced each time the cron job runs. "echo LAST_IP=$LAST_IP >>/var/spool/fw-ip.sh" and in the cron job "$SAVED=/var/spool/fw-ip.sh; [ -n "$SAVED" -a -r "$SAVED" ] && source "$SAVED" " | 19:25 |
| Voziv | TJ-: http://diginc.us/linux/2010/using-iptables-with-dynamic-ip-hostnames-like-dyndns-org/ | 19:25 |
| TJ- | Voziv: That looks like overkill... no need to 'restart' iptables which infers flushing the tables and reloading, which could affect current connections | 19:26 |
| TJ- | Voziv: Just remove the old IP if it has changed, and insert the new one | 19:26 |
| Voziv | yeah | 19:26 |
| Voziv | I agree, but we're both on the same page | 19:26 |
| TJ- | Voziv: It all depends on a short TTL in the DNS zone to avoid caching locally | 19:27 |
| Voziv | If it's super important yeah | 19:27 |
| TJ- | If the TTL is 5 minutes make the cron job the same | 19:27 |
| TJ- | Voziv: The longer the TTL the longer the time you might have to wait to gain access if the stale rule is in place | 19:28 |
| Voziv | I'll be running somewhere between 30-60 minutes. The ip change is rare | 19:28 |
| Voziv | I think the TTL is 5 minutes, but I'm just not worried about checking that often | 19:28 |
| TJ- | Voziv: If the TTL is 30 minutes the cron job every 15 would make sense | 19:28 |
| hitsujiTMO | Voziv: what protocol is the apps using to communicate? | 19:31 |

| hitsujiTMO | are you using rsa auth? | 19:35 |
| TJ- | Voziv: openpvn! Don't leave SSH open at all... openvpn with UDP and a TA key is much safer | 19:35 |
| Voziv | It's already secure in the fact that there's only a single user with a single ssh key that can access the system. It's just peice of mind and less logs if outside connections are straight up rejected. And I'll know how to do it in the future :) | 19:36 |
| Voziv | TJ-: Sort of why I'm after firewalling it except the two ip's that matter | 19:36 |
| TJ- | Voziv: I use openvpn because once its up I can use any protocol I need, not limited to SSH. Makes testing, or accessing private LAN services much more streamlined. It also allows the server to 'push' to the client once the VPN tunnel is active. | 19:38 |
| hitsujiTMO | Voziv: yeah if you want to add another layer of security then VPN would be the best choice | 19:38 |

| bbtech | Is there a way I can run a bash script without the ./ in front? | 19:47 |
| petrepatrasc | source <filename>? | 19:48 |
| bbtech | petrepatrasc, I meant just "filename" not "source filename" | 19:49 |
| Rory | !path | bbtech | 19:49 |
| ubottu | bbtech: path is The $PATH variable tells the shell where to look for the commands you tell it to run. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables#File-location_related_variables | 19:49 |
| comptroller | hey all, how do I install a game that has no file extension? What is the command? | 19:49 |
| bbtech | Rory, the script is on the path and I'm in the directory where the script resides | 19:49 |
| Rory | bbtech: What's the output of "echo $PATH" | 19:49 |
| bbtech | I just want to type myProgram instead of ./myProgram, is it possible? without an alias? | 19:49 |
| Rory | comptroller: Completely depends on the application, what are you trying to install? | 19:50 |
| bbtech | Rory, why does it matter, I'm inside the directory where the script resides. | 19:50 |
| Rory | bbtech: Because that's how bash works | 19:50 |
| Rory | bbtech: It needs to be in a directory in your $PATH | 19:50 |
| bbtech | The path has /home/brett/.dotfiles/bin: ...which is where the script is | 19:51 |
| comptroller | Rory, I'm trying to run the LegendofDungeon install file | 19:51 |
| Rory | comptroller: Are you following a guide? | 19:51 |
| bbtech | Maybe I'm not being clear, I can run ./myProgram, sh myProgram, source myProgram....but I want to run myProgram | 19:52 |
| comptroller | Rory, no there isn't one with the torrent | 19:52 |
| TJ- | bbtech: Have you included a shebang line in the script? | 19:52 |
| bbtech | TJ-, yes | 19:52 |
| Rory | bbtech: And maybe I'm not being clear. The directory that myProgram is in needs to be in your $PATH | 19:52 |
| bbtech | Rory, it is | 19:52 |
| Rory | comptroller: and ./filename doesn't work? | 19:52 |
| Rory | bbtech: What's the output of "echo $PATH" | 19:52 |
| TJ- | bbtech: Then something in the PATH is stopping it. What do you get when you type "which myProgram" | 19:53 |
| bbtech | Rory, /home/brett/.dotfiles/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games | 19:53 |
| Rory | bbtech: And is myProgram in one of those directories? | 19:53 |
| bbtech | TJ-, which myProgram returns nothing | 19:53 |
| bbtech | yes it is ....ohhh! | 19:53 |
| bbtech | sorry everyone! | 19:53 |
| Rory | bbtech: Bet you it isn;t | 19:53 |
| bbtech | it's in /home/brett/dotfiles/bin | 19:54 |
| Rory | =) | 19:54 |
| bbtech | not /home/brett/.dotfiles/bin | 19:54 |

| loa | Rory, last one is ok. | 19:55 |
| Rory | loa: Can you log into another user, or the guest user? | 19:55 |
| TJ- | loa: If you're using a proprietary graphics driver, it may be its kernel module hasn't been built for the older kernels | 19:55 |
| Rory | comptroller: You need to set the installer as executable by right-clicking it and going properties->allow executing | 19:56 |
| loa | TJ-, i have nvidia, so i use it? But... How lightdm works? | 19:56 |
| Rory | comptroller: Then you should be able to double click it to run it | 19:56 |
| TJ- | loa: Sounds like the nvidia module for the older kernels may not have been built... it uses DKMS to get built when a kernel is installed - usually - but it can fail to build against some kernels. | 19:57 |

I can't run .exe from linux, the dvd doesnt run it if i boot to it... so, how do I go about this? | 20:07 |

| iUnify | I understand, I have been here for questions time and again - but its an Ubuntu question... | 20:08 |

| iUnify | Yes, I set boot priority for dvd and nothing happened, can't run .exe | 20:10 |
| ikonia | iUnify: you don't install windows from within ubuntu | 20:10 |
| Rory | iUnify: You don't install Windows within Ubuntu. It's irrelavnt to Ubuntu or any other OS - you boot from the DVD to install it | 20:10 |
| Rory | iUnify: Probably a bad DVD burn | 20:10 |
| iUnify | OK, so essentially it should have boot from the dvd | 20:10 |

| jdenning | Can anyone provide me a pointer as to whom I should submit a patch for an init script? I have a small patch to the /etc/init.d/freeradius script, but I'm not sure if that should be submitted to the Ubuntu (or Debian??) package maintainer, or the Freeradius project? Any ideas? | 20:16 |
| ikonia | jdenning: init scripts are not in /etc/init.d any more | 20:17 |
| jdenning | ikonia: I was patching against 12.04, I realize this has changed for more recent releases, but the patch is also applicable to upstart based init | 20:18 |
| ikonia | 12.04 should be using upstart | 20:18 |
| jdenning | The question remains though - who should patches of that sort go to? | 20:18 |
| ikonia | it needs to be a valid question, you're patching something that doesn't exist/shouldn't exist on ubuntu | 20:19 |
| jdenning | ikonia: The file in 12.04 is /etc/init.d/freeradius - this is installed by the package 'freeradius'. | 20:19 |
| jdenning | ikonia: <Sigh> I hope you realize that this sort of "Why do you want to know?" response to straight-forward questions in the ubuntu community is kind of a running-joke among certain sysadmins I know (Redhat guys) | 20:20 |
| jdenning | I've never submitted a patch to an OSS project before - just trying to figure out if ubuntu maintainers would be interested or not. I'm perfectly happy to just use it myself if no one cares. | 20:20 |
| ikonia | jdenning: no-one asked why you wanted to know, I correctly explained that the init script should be upstart | 20:20 |
| ikonia | jdenning: and seeing as I am a "redhat" guy, pointing at me and saying "you ubuntu guy is why redhat guys laugh" is stupid, more and a pointless ocmment | 20:21 |
| wilee-nilee | jdenning, every group has a hierarchy and ins and out others, your argument/sigh is a childish response. | 20:21 |
| jdenning | ikonia: My question was "who should I talk to about submitting this patch" 12.04 LTS, is still supported, correct? | 20:22 |
| blotek | ikonia: actually it makes sense | 20:22 |
| ikonia | jdenning: yes, and I stated that you maybe looking at it wrong as the file you want to patch should not be in place in ubuntu | 20:22 |
| jdenning | wilee-nilee: Not trying to be childish, just pointing out a criticism about the ubuntu community | 20:22 |
| ikonia | jdenning: so it's worth checking you are doing the right thing first, | 20:22 |
| jdenning | ikonia: I installed the 'freeradius' package straight from the repo, that's where the package put the file. | 20:22 |
| ikonia | jdenning: right - so which repo would be a good start | 20:23 |
| blotek | ikonia: he does | 20:23 |
| jdenning | 12.04 stable | 20:23 |
| ikonia | jdenning: that will give you an idea of where it's maintained or or taken from | 20:23 |
| ikonia | jdenning: 12.04 stable is not a repo | 20:23 |
| ikonia | jdenning: that's a release | 20:23 |
| jdenning | ok, one sec. | 20:23 |
| ikonia | blotek: he does what, you'll get better responses if you actually try to talk in a sentence rather than throwing one word comments at me | 20:23 |
| jdenning | "precise main" I should have said | 20:24 |
| ikonia | jdenning: what's the package name ? | 20:24 |
| jdenning | freeradius | 20:24 |
| ikonia | (as in the actual package) | 20:24 |
| ikonia | !info freeradius | 20:24 |
| ubottu | freeradius (source: freeradius): high-performance and highly configurable RADIUS server. In component main, is optional. Version 2.1.12+dfsg-1.2ubuntu1 (raring), package size 631 kB, installed size 1789 kB | 20:24 |
| ikonia | ok, so it's coming from main, so it's taken from debian, so depending on how you want to approach this the logical approach would be to submit the bug to the problem eg: debian and link it to ubuntu | 20:24 |

| ikonia | jdenning: well, that file shouldn't exist, so why is the file there, is it meant to be using upstart, or not, is the bug that it's not linked to an upstart script, etc, as if you fix the "broken" file it may get undone if/when it's fixed properly | 20:29 |
| faugusztin | Gregor_: it will be fine, 2.2TB+ is a problem for some controllers, not for NM10 | 20:30 |
| funky | hey faugusztin | 20:30 |
| jdenning | ikonia: Well, as I said, a lot of 12.04 *LTS* (as in, the only branch that is currently suitable for real server use) packages install files in /etc/init.d. I assumed this patch would be useful to others in the community. I will try to get in touch with the maintainer for Debian and see if they're interested. | 20:32 |
| ikonia | jdenning: have you actually looked at the files in /etc/init.d ? | 20:32 |

| njsg | on then you need to store the private key locally. that's awkward, I guess, I'd usually expect to have to generate the key pair locally, then upload the public part | 21:18 |
| njsg | Marlenee: if it's a private key, you are supposed to add it locally, not to authorized_keys | 21:19 |
| njsg | authorized_keys is for the public keys that can be used to log in | 21:19 |
| Marlenee | njsg : i cant log in ?? | 21:19 |
| njsg | here I have .ssh/id_rsa, but I have no idea of how to add another key | 21:19 |
| YokoBR_ | :( | 21:21 |
| njsg | Marlenee: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2419566/best-way-to-use-multiple-ssh-private-keys-on-one-client | 21:22 |
| njsg | Marlenee: so apparently you can use ssh -i path-to-key ... | 21:23 |
| njsg | Marlenee: but the key you have has .pem, so it's probably in PEM | 21:23 |
| YokoBR_ | please, just need to install wine64 again :( | 21:23 |
| njsg | Marlenee: ssh-keygen can convert these, from the manpage seems to be something like "ssh-keygen -i -m PEM" | 21:24 |
| njsg | Marlenee: sorry if some of this gets off, I'm mostly reading it, but I didn't actually test it | 21:24 |
| njsg | Marlenee: oh, it should be "ssh-keygen -i -m PEM -f path-to-key", I suppose it will *output* the result, but dunno | 21:25 |

| tgm4883 | Is that in your sources.list? | 21:30 |
| njsg | Marlenee: yes, that will happen, private keys need to be unreadable by others (ssh is just trying to avoid potentially dangerous scenarios), just do "chmod og-rwx MyKeyPair.pem". Also, it seems you're still using the pem file, did you pass it through ssh-keygen? | 21:30 |

| arnau_ | Hi everyone! I need some help, I'm almost there. I have a dual boot win/linuxmint and on windows my NIC speed is 100Mb/s. On linux the NIC speed is set to 10Mb/s. When I try to change it with command "sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full" , it seems to change the NIC's settings, but the wired connection goes down. Does anyone know what should I do? | 21:35 |
| tgm4883 | !mint | arnau_ | 21:36 |
| ubottu | arnau_: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 21:36 |
| arnau_ | they sent me here XD | 21:37 |
| arnau_ | I was hoping that you could help me | 21:37 |
| tgm4883 | arnau_, perhaps you should tell them you are using Linux Mint | 21:37 |
| njsg | arnau_: it's not ubuntu, but a general tip is really: check if it uses the right driver, google for known issues with that card on linux | 21:37 |
| arnau_ | yes they know | 21:37 |
| arnau_ | well thanks anyway, have fun! =) | 21:38 |
| LjL | arnau_: wait, who sent you herre | 21:38 |

| === tony_stark_markV is now known as krull | ||
| arnau_ | I have the right driver. I saw a picture of the connection info from an italian guy: same driver, same everything, except he has "Speed: 100Mb/s" and I have "Speed: 10Mb/s" | 21:41 |

| arnau_ | now I was answering to you njsg | 21:41 |
| Nosophorus | what's the casual chat for ubuntu users? | 21:42 |
| njsg | arnau_: same kernel version? | 21:42 |
| Nosophorus | i mean to talk about off-topic issues | 21:42 |
| k1l_ | !ot | Nosophorus | 21:42 |
| ubottu | Nosophorus: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 21:42 |
| arnau_ | Don't know njsg | 21:42 |
| Nosophorus | k1l_: thanks! | 21:42 |
| krull | arnau_: use uname -r to get kernal version | 21:43 |
| arnau_ | thanks krull. It says "3.5.0-17-generic" | 21:43 |
| krull | arnau_: why are you not up to 3.2.0-53-generic? | 21:44 |
| njsg | arnau_: check that, compare it | 21:44 |
| mojtaba | Is it possible to generate an audio file from a pdf or other text like files? | 21:44 |
| arnau_ | Because I'm a newbie krull, that's why XD | 21:44 |
| k1l_ | krull: arnau_ njsg because its mint. | 21:44 |
| krull | arnau_: we all started as newbies at one time | 21:44 |
| k1l_ | krull: njsg arnau_ and that for they got a own support channel | 21:44 |
| tgm4883 | isn't 3.5 > 3.2? | 21:45 |
| njsg | arnau_: you want to compare if the kernel version is the same, if they are then I guess the kernel log is the last resort | 21:45 |
| k1l_ | so if you guys want to solve the int issues please got to the mint channels. thanks | 21:45 |
| njsg | and kernels can still have disto-specific patches, different configs... | 21:45 |
| arnau_ | oh that's right tgm4883 XD | 21:45 |
| arnau_ | k1l_: sorry, I couldn't find any help there | 21:46 |
| === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away | ||

| arnau_ | oh, oh! Last question. What does it mean to load a module for a driver? | 21:48 |
| Enekoos | hello, I have some litle problem, I search some time for it in internet but not find answer: I use a tablet digital for drawing and 2 monitors, my problem is in te tablet resolution for print is like a 2 monitors, wen drawing a circle screen drawing a elipse (====) not ciercleO | 21:48 |
| wilee-nilee | myep: same thing with a live boot? | 21:48 |
| njsg | arnau_: it means loading the kernel module. nowadays, linux will usually be configured to load modules automatically, but you can still use modprobe manually (and in some cases you *need* to, for some reason) | 21:49 |
| myep | i have not tried a live boot, you suggest I try an ubuntu 12.04 Live session? | 21:49 |
| jhutchins | Enekoos: That probably depends on what exact make & model tablet it is. | 21:49 |
| wilee-nilee | myep: yes if it works, you can assume driver or install problems at the least, another user is another option. | 21:50 |
| Enekoos | is a trust tablet | 21:50 |
| Enekoos | but linux not have a litle config file? | 21:51 |
| myep | @wilee-nilee: isnt it odd that I have no error information anywhere? I suspect I will be able to reproduce a crash on a Live CD, but i can try it | 21:51 |
| Enekoos | waltop is very limited | 21:51 |
| wilee-nilee | myep: can we assume your computer is up for this install and desktop hardware wise? | 21:52 |
| myep | wilee-nilee: are you asking if my hardware is modern enough? | 21:53 |
| vexati0n | hi. In Ubuntu 13.04, x64, where are the options for RECEIVING files via bluetooth? I can send them just fine, but how do I receive them? | 21:54 |
| wilee-nilee | myep: It may as simple as a bad install, and yes is the hadware/ram up for the use. | 21:54 |
| myep | wilee-nilee: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2200, Mem: 3203920, Swap: 8000508, clean install, minimal packages added, second rig this has happened on | 21:55 |
| wilee-nilee | myep: your description is missing some pertinent info that you would be asked, for instance hardware and desktop used and any others tried. | 21:55 |

| myep | wilee-nilee: 3GB :( thats all 3 slots (yes i have 3, strange) | 22:06 |
| fishcooker | i think that's driver problem | 22:07 |
| wilee-nilee | myep: I would use htop to see whats running, I use a conky to watch my ram and other stuff, you might have something running the ram high, I also change the swappiness, but I have a ssd | 22:09 |
| njsg | fishcooker: did you enable the serial line discipline? | 22:09 |

| wilee-nilee | myep: it would recover if whatever is causing it to swap reduced, maybe that is not happening, at this point we are guessing with dichotomies, check what is running with htop in general, and monitor the ram use and swap, would be a good start. | 22:14 |

| njsg | vee_: check lspci -k to see if it has a kernel module loaded for it and check dmesg for errors. which card is it? | 22:28 |
| chaotix | hey guys... in what folder can i find the help files used in yelp? | 22:28 |
| njsg | oh ath9k. you may need external firmware, yeah | 22:28 |
| Yowl | Dr_Willis: Because., swap is ram on drive, and ram drive is ram used as a hard drive, so wouldn't it being going full circle, putting ram work on ram? | 22:28 |
| vee_ | njsg: what external firmware? i've installed wireless-tools | 22:28 |
| Dr_Willis | Yowl: thats not technically true. id go read up on the various swap howtos and guides and docs. | 22:29 |
| chaotix | doc w, do you know? | 22:29 |
| njsg | vee_: dunno what the package name is in ubuntu, but linux wireless drivers frequently need external firmware that is not included due to license issues | 22:29 |
| Dr_Willis | chaotix: /usr/share/docs or the man page dirs.. i cant even recall what yelp is | 22:29 |
| vee_ | njsg: was reading some stuff on debian and it says it should be fine...hm ill look into it | 22:31 |
| Yowl | Dr_Willis: In the end though, swap on ram drive would just be a less efficient way of disabling swap? | 22:31 |
| njsg | debian, fine without external firmware packages? mr "DFSG" debian... | 22:32 |
| Dr_Willis | Yowl: more overhead - so its pointless. Unless you had one of those weird ram-card-drive things that came out like 10 yrs ago. ;) | 22:32 |
| Dr_Willis | and its not the same as disabling swap | 22:32 |
| Dr_Willis | I seem to recall benchmarks a few years back where having a little swap helped the system even with a lot of ram. but this was 5+ yrs ago. so theres been a lot of kernel work since then | 22:33 |
| Yowl | Dr_Willis If one has enough ram, there is no need for swap, right? | 22:33 |
| njsg | Yowl: no, it will be an effective way of increasing thrashing. if you want to disable on-disk swap, disable swap completely | 22:33 |
| gartral | Dr_Willis: it's still the case, trust me | 22:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Yowl: i have a 8gb system with no swap - becaue i frogot to partion for it. but these days if you want to use Hibernate/suspend you DO want swap = ram+a bit more | 22:33 |
| Dr_Willis | gartral: ;) i cant even recall how they benchmarked it. | 22:33 |
| Dr_Willis | bbl | 22:34 |
| gartral | Yowl: wrong, you'll need swap if you want hibernation or do a LOT of compilation work | 22:34 |
| Yowl | Dr_Willis: Can I set swap to be disabled except for hibernation? | 22:34 |
| njsg | gartral: you don't need swap to hibernate | 22:34 |
| njsg | you can hibernate to files, IIRC | 22:34 |
| Yowl | mjsg or in other words, it makes its own swap if swap is disabled? | 22:35 |
| Yowl | for hibernation | 22:35 |
| gartral | njsg: swap is any file or partition that acts as a hdd buffer for ram, so, yes, you do need swap | 22:35 |
| Yowl | gartral: That is what swap is, but if you have enough ram then you dont need the buffer, presumably | 22:37 |
| skinux | Do all screenlets have to be written in Python? | 22:38 |
| njsg | Yowl: I think gartral just wanted to exercise some pedantry on how the hibernation file is used to store memory contents | 22:38 |
| Yowl | Ok so if I disable swap, will hibernation just make its own space and still do fine? | 22:38 |
| OerHeks | Yowl, no. | 22:39 |
| njsg | Yowl: you probably need to provide explicit settings for hibernation and resume | 22:39 |
| Yowl | OerHeks: Then is there a way to disable swap except for hibernation? | 22:39 |
| Yowl | njsg So there is? | 22:39 |
| njsg | Yowl: don't enable it, I guess you can remove the swap partition from fstab | 22:39 |
| njsg | depends on how ubuntu finds swap partitions to enable, though | 22:39 |
| ajith_kanu | had a windows OS.while installing ubuntu to dual boot accidently deleted windows.How to recover important files that was on windows? please | 22:40 |
| njsg | ajith_kanu: how did you "delete windows"? | 22:40 |
| OerHeks | Yowl, maybe you can play around with swapiness, set to 0 > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq | 22:40 |
| qin | Yowl: man swapoff; man pm-action | 22:41 |
| OerHeks | qin +1 | 22:41 |
| ajith_kanu | njsg:It was my friends problem.I think heautomatically installed ubuntu on the entire disk | 22:41 |
| qin | Yowl: Why 2-3 gig of swap does bother you anyway? | 22:41 |
| elGr33k0 | Hello | 22:42 |
| Enekoos | hello, any know how to change resolution for digitizing tablet ? | 22:43 |
| michael_ | #tm129 | 22:43 |
| Yowl | qin swap will slow my system down compared to pure ram | 22:43 |
| qin | Yowl: huh? | 22:44 |
| elGr33k0 | @Enekoos what do you mean digitizing tablet? | 22:44 |
| qin | Yowl: Headbutt person who told you this | 22:44 |
| Yowl | qin: Hard drives are slower then Ram- Not just a urban legend | 22:44 |
| njsg | Yowl: if your system slows down because of swap, why do you think disabling it will do any better? | 22:45 |
| Yowl | forces the system to use ram | 22:45 |
| njsg | why do you think the system is using swap in the first place? | 22:45 |
| njsg | Yowl: if you think *preemptive* swapping is happening a lot, tune swappiness | 22:45 |
| ricardobarbosams | anyone deploy proxy-arp in ubuntu? | 22:45 |
| njsg | but if the system is using swap because it's out of ram, disabling swap won't do any good | 22:45 |
| ricardobarbosams | 13.04 | 22:45 |
| njsg | buy more ram™ | 22:45 |
| Yowl | njsg I know that | 22:46 |
| elGr33k0 | Yowl you can always check what other processes are running | 22:47 |
| elGr33k0 | and close them | 22:47 |
| qin | Yowl: How much RAM do you have? And how much swap do you use on day to day basis? You can also suspend with write to RAM, unlike hibernate... | 22:47 |
| Enekoos | elGr33k0: https://www.google.es/search?q=digitizing+tablet&safe=off&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=Kt1VUvXuFIaU0AXhv4HgBQ&ved=0CEUQsAQ&biw=1231&bih=912&dpr=1 | 22:48 |
| Yowl | Well I do have a issue where suspend won't wake up sometimes, forcing me to do a hard reset | 22:49 |
| Yowl | qin: How do I choose to suspend to ram? | 22:49 |
| qin | Yowl: pm-suspend | 22:51 |
| Yowl | qin: pm? | 22:51 |
| loa | how i can set affinity on permanent mode for application? | 22:51 |
| loa | for example dota 2 | 22:51 |
| qin | Yowl: power manager | 22:52 |
| loa | running from steam | 22:52 |
| Yowl | qin: Run that as a terminal command? | 22:53 |
| qin | loa: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/setting-processor-affinity-certain-task-or-process.html | 22:53 |
| qin | Yowl: sure, yet you just said that there is some bug with your suspend | 22:54 |
| loa | qin, i understand how set affinity, i can't uderstand how i can set affinity for dota running from steam | 22:54 |
| qin | loa: you need id of process, from htop i.e. | 22:55 |
| loa | qin, i want to do this automatically | 22:55 |
| loa | i thought about script for crontab | 22:56 |
| qin | loa: pgrep may help | 22:56 |
| loa | it will try to find dota process and set affinity | 22:56 |
| Yowl | qin: Sometimes I have wordpad files with unsaved content when my PC goes into suspension, could that be why I can't wake it up? And sometimes when I can't wake it up, it doesn't seem like its fully suspended in the first place since the power button isnt flashing and the fans are running, but I still can't get anything to appear on the screen | 22:58 |

| Moseco | I have ubuntu 12.04 installed on a drive and windows 8.1 installed on a separate drive (installed ubuntu then windows 8 later). What is the best way to set up GRUB to dualboot? | 23:03 |
| Ben64 | !grub | Moseco | 23:03 |
| ubottu | Moseco: 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 | 23:03 |
| msx | daniel1: ok, this /var/lib/dpkg is a temp file set by dpkg to tell the system that a package management action is ongoing, that's why you receive the lock | 23:03 |
| mtong | Q: When I connect to my Ubuntu box using remote desktop and then try to connect it to a VPN I get "Not Authorized to control networking" when I do this on the machine directly it works. Im using the same user to log in, in both instances. | 23:04 |
| msx | daniel1: please open a console and do: $ ps aux | grep dpkg | 23:04 |
| Moseco | ubottu: Thank you | 23:04 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 23:04 |
| daniel1 | thanks msx, I had to ctrl-c apt-get because it hung when installing wireless drivers. so its ok to delete /var/lib/dpkg? | 23:04 |
| msx | daniel1: you can kill the process using the command: $ sudo kill -9 {number of dpkg process} | 23:05 |
| msx | daniel1: it isn't actually the best thing to do but yeah, this is GNU+Linux so it won't make any harm | 23:05 |
| daniel1 | ok, it is a directory tho.. | 23:05 |
| Ben64 | yeah dont delete that directorty | 23:06 |
| msx | daniel1: what is really strange is the dpkg freeze when installing the wireless card module... | 23:06 |
| daniel1 | would it not just be better to delete /var/lib/dpkg/lock? | 23:06 |
| Ben64 | stop trying to delete stuff | 23:06 |
| msx | lol | 23:06 |
| qin | lol | 23:06 |
| Ben64 | the problem that error message is saying is that something else is using apt | 23:06 |
| daniel1 | hehehhe. yeah I'm old enough to be a responsible sudo rm'er.. | 23:07 |
| msx | daniel1: as a rule of dumb NEVER ever delete anything before being completely sure you won't miss that | 23:07 |
| Enekoos | ubuntu use Xorg.conf or other file? I search for file to configuration to digitalizer tablet | 23:07 |
| daniel1 | msx: you just said it was fine to delete it :-P anyway I'm pretty sure there is nothing else using dpkg, and that I am the one who was responsible for control-c'ing apt-get, causing the lock to not be removed | 23:07 |
| qin | !xorg.conf | 23:07 |
| ubottu | The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is deprecated, but sometimes may still be needed to pass values to specific drivers. Generic xorg.conf generation: http://ubottu.com/y/xorgconf - ATI/AMD ( fglrx driver ) specific: http://ubottu.com/y/atiamd - NVidia ( nvidia driver )specific: http://ubottu.com/y/nvidia man xorg.conf for file structure and syntax. | 23:07 |
| overlook | .. | 23:08 |
| Yowl | Sometimes I have wordpad files with unsaved content when my PC goes into suspension, could that be why I can't wake it up?

| msx | daniel1: btw, the only thing i can think of is rebooting and then on a freshly booted system try to install the driver again | 23:08 |
| msx | daniel1: yes but i mean anything inside the directory, usually the lock file | 23:08 |
| bbtech | Is there a list somewhere of possible dot files that can go in the home directory? | 23:09 |
| daniel1 | bbtech: anything can put a hidden (dot file as you call it) file or folder in the home directory | 23:09 |
| Enekoos | ok gin but no solve my problem :( where is the config? | 23:09 |
| bbtech | daniel1, yeah, I meant that would be used by a program. | 23:10 |
| Yowl | Is there a way to add suspend to ram in my system option? | 23:10 |
| bbtech | like, I noticed someone had an .aliases file and I then wondered if that was valid and what other files are valid | 23:10 |
| daniel1 | bbtech: and? did the file not say what it was used for and why? | 23:11 |
| bbtech | daniel1, well, it had aliases in it...but that doesn't answer my question of what other files could I create? | 23:11 |
| bbtech | daniel1, for example, I've been creating a file for my aliases and using source to load them...didn't know about .aliases | 23:12 |
| bbtech | so how can I know about the other dot files that I can possibly use? | 23:12 |
| Sean121 | Dot files can be created and used like regular files | 23:13 |
| bbtech | I'm wondering if any file in /etc can be replaced with a ~/.file | 23:13 |
| bbtech | Sean121, not what I'm asking. I'm wondering which dot files have a special purpose. | 23:14 |
| Tylertwo | bbtech, are you familiar with "ls -a"? | 23:15 |
| bbtech | Tylertwo, not all files are created by default | 23:15 |
| bbtech | Tylertwo, I currently don't have an .aliases file. Unless someone tells me that .aliases has a special purpose I might never know to create it. | 23:16 |
| Tylertwo | bbtech, gotcha.. i've never really thought along those lines tbh | 23:16 |
| daniel1 | bbtech - presumably any hidden file has a special purpose, or else it owuldnt have been created in the first place… stricly speaking, users rarely have to create hidden files, programs mostly do that automaticly, unless a manual for a program states otherwise. but to the best of my knowledge, there is no repository for manually-created hidden files, nor could there be, since any software that someone writes could require a user to do that... | 23:17 |
| bbtech | daniel1, that does make sense. Doesn't make it easier for me to know about specific files though :-/ | 23:18 |
| daniel1 | heh... | 23:18 |
| jrib | bbtech: you learn about dotfiles by reading documentation | 23:19 |
| daniel1 | bbtech: off the top of my head, the only example I can think of is ssh asking a user to move a newly-created private key for authentication into the .ssh directory… or .htaccess for configuring apache directives.. the uses are too varied and unique to catalog in one place :-) | 23:19 |
| bbtech | Is there even a way I can prove that the .aliases file would be used without trial and error? or maybe it is .alias? | 23:19 |
| jrib | bbtech: it's sourced in your ~/.bashrc | 23:19 |
| bbtech | jrib, what is sourced? | 23:20 |
| daniel1 | bash configur settings, that's another I suppose.. | 23:20 |
| jrib | bbtech: ~/.aliasrc | 23:20 |
| bbtech | jrib, oh, it's not in my .bashrc. Does that mean .aliases or .aliasrc wouldn't work? | 23:20 |
| jrib | bbtech: check your .bashrc. ~/.aliasrc may just be something I created. But there is some file sourced by default with "alias" in its name | 23:21 |
| skinux | This could be silly, but what 'hook' (if any) would be needed to run a script/app when screen lock is deactivated? | 23:21 |
| bbtech | jrib, that "default" thing is what I'm trying to figure out...just magically sourced? | 23:21 |
| jrib | bbtech: read your ~/.bashrc | 23:22 |
| bbtech | jrib, I have, alias* isn't in there | 23:22 |
| jrib | bbtech: then you aren't using the default .bashrc from /etc/skel/.bashrc in a standard ubuntu system | 23:22 |
| bbtech | jrib, my .bashrc is sourcing all files in my ~/dotfiles/source directory | 23:22 |
| Tylertwo | Why would you want an .aliasrc file? | 23:23 |
| bbtech | jrib, true, I'm on debian :-) | 23:23 |
| jrib | bbtech: that's something you setup; it's not standard | 23:23 |
| bbtech | jrib, correct | 23:23 |
| Ben64 | bbtech: then why are you filling up #ubuntu? :| | 23:23 |
| bbtech | jrib, if I understand that means .aliases would not work for me? | 23:23 |
| Xabst | Hi, I upgraded my kernel to 3.11 and installed new ATI GFX drivers, and installed MATE desktop environment and now my X server gets seg fault. I'm on commandline irssi and I have no idea how to fix this :( | 23:23 |
| jrib | bbtech: this channel is for ubuntu support ;) But just source whatever file you want in your .bashrc for your aliases. It's purely an organizational preference to have aliases in a separate file instead of directly in ~/.bashrc | 23:23 |
| Enekoos | how can I see were is an usb element in a /dev/ items? | 23:23 |

| deckard_ | hello, are there any cool themed terminals i can DL? | 23:25 |
| Enekoos | her name in to /dev/ items | 23:25 |
| Ben64 | Enekoos: not sure what you mean by that, but try dmesg and/or lsusb | 23:25 |
| Xabst | can you tell me how to downgrade my kernel back to 3.8? | 23:25 |
| daniel1 | folks, I'm having a serious problem with apt-get hanging when I try to install broadcom wireless drivers. right now, I'm stuck in a loop where if I quit it, I have to run dpkg -c before I can do anything with apt, and then it just tries to install it again... | 23:25 |
| Enekoos | mm is good idea I go for searh in this thanks | 23:25 |
| bbtech | jrib, in debian the default .bashrc looks for ~/.bash_aliases | 23:25 |
| jrib | bbtech: in ubuntu too | 23:25 |
| SirFunk_ | Is there a special channel for 13.10 talk? I seem to have lost my notifications, they show up as ugly blue boxes now | 23:26 |

| bbtech | jrib, I like the idea of putting all of my .whatever files in ~/dotfiles/sources. I'm going to stick with that | 23:26 |
| bbtech | thanks for the help! | 23:26 |
| Ben64 | bbtech: next time go to #debian | 23:26 |
| SirFunk_ | jrib: thanks | 23:26 |
