| Xabster | Hi, I'm on the commandline and I got 2 USB devices connected and I want to make sure I download the .iso to the correct USB so I can use it as a boot drive in order to reinstall. Can you help me to determine the correct one? | 00:07 |

| Xabster | xatr0z: that lists it, but that ID doesnt correspond to a dev/xxx | 00:09 |
| wilee-nilee | mapps, you checked the md5sum? | 00:10 |
| Xabster | or maybe it does, but how do I determine it? | 00:10 |
| xatr0z | Xabster: you should find the same id in /dev/disk/by-id/ | 00:10 |
| mapps | wilee-nilee, i only downloaded it tonight and verified the burn..i assumed it was fine..could it be that making it drop to a command prompot | 00:11 |

| repudiate | Tylertwo: Ok, I use irssi, the IRC client, but I'm having a difficult time setting up the keyboard shortcut. I went through the custom shorcuts and I listed irssi and the command "IRSSI" with the shortcut combination, but it doesn't seem to work. They command for irssi may be wrong. How can I know what is the correct command? | 00:35 |

| Xabster | I'm on commandline and can't google it myself | 00:35 |
| Tylertwo | repudiate, Since irssi is run in terminal I'm not sure you could create a shorcut for it. Generally whatever command works in terminal will work for a shortcut. Ie "firefox" launches firefox from terminal, so I know it will work as the command for a firefox shortcut as well. | 00:36 |
| repudiate | The command i use in the terminal is "irssi" | 00:37 |
| cbilljones | is it possible to remove "system settings" from shutdown menu? | 00:38 |
| Tylertwo | repudiate, You can create an alias for irssi if you want, so typing "i" or whatever string you'd like into terminal will run irssi instead of having to type it out. | 00:38 |

| ampw | wilee-nilee: i am curious | 01:12 |
| wafflejock | ampw: agree with the why from wilee-nilee but generally speaking you can uninstall any package and install some other package | 01:13 |
| wilee-nilee | ampw, That makes no sense, the version of the software center in 13.10 or the repos? | 01:13 |
| wafflejock | if it isn't in the repos you'd have to build from source and it may not work out | 01:13 |

| wafflejock | man seahorse | 01:21 |
| cbilljones | is it possible to remove "system settings" from shutdown menu? | 01:21 |
| eot3 | wilee-nilee: ubuntu 12.04 LTS default install has my gpg using seahorse (gnome-keyring-daemon). i believe (perhaps wrong) that seahorse does not look at my gpg.conf file to see my preferences, and i also believe it doesn't look at my gpg-agent.conf file. | 01:22 |
| === raven_ is now known as odjfousijoijsf | ||
| wafflejock | cbilljones: depends on which menu you use? are you talking in Unity? | 01:24 |
| eot3 | so, bottom line, the easiest thing would be if i could tell gpg, you must use gpg-agent and must not use seahorse. but i don't know how to do that or configure seahorse | 01:24 |

| wafflejock | it takes about 30 min depending on how much data you have to make an img out of your data | 01:35 |
| wafflejock | less time to cast it back down | 01:36 |
| wafflejock | it's nice to have a full backup anyhow | 01:36 |
| odjfousijoijsf | wafflejock what, it will restore my whole OS to before? | 01:36 |
| wafflejock | it's a block by block copy of the disk | 01:36 |
| wafflejock | everything is exactly the same | 01:36 |
| odjfousijoijsf | but I'd have to have disk the same size or larger | 01:36 |
| wafflejock | I used it to clone some MS windows computers with XP (they had license stickers that I fixed the key for each later) | 01:36 |
| wafflejock | you do need a lot of space, but I believe it only requires as much space as is used it doesn't copy empty blocks | 01:37 |
| wafflejock | is uses a program called dd that does the work | 01:37 |
| odjfousijoijsf | I'll look into it | 01:37 |
| odjfousijoijsf | thanks | 01:37 |
| cbilljones | is it possible to remove "system settings" from shutdown menu? in 13.04 w/ unity | 01:37 |

| supergauntlet | Like, my laptop has a 1 TB HDD and a 30 GB SSD | 02:10 |
| supergauntlet | I want to install xubuntu to the SSD, but my BIOS is terrible and won't let me change the hard disk boot order | 02:11 |
| supergauntlet | So what I want to do is install grub to the hard drive, and have it point at the windows install as well as the ubuntu install on the SSD | 02:11 |
| jhawk28 | supergauntlet, sometimes the bios is weird on how it lets you change the boot order | 02:12 |
| Crazyzurfer | hi! what happens if I change permissions to a file or folder from the windows partition? | 02:12 |
| supergauntlet | I know this is doable but I'm not sure how to have grub point at my windows install | 02:12 |
| bekks | supergauntlet: sure. | 02:12 |
| supergauntlet | Crazyzurfer, what do you mean? | 02:12 |
| thinknow | what do yu mean with pointing at windows as well? | 02:12 |
| supergauntlet | jhawk28, I've looked through all the options | 02:12 |
| bekks | !grub2 | supergauntlet look at this: | 02:12 |
| wafflejock | jhawk28: have you tried just editing /etc/apt/sources.list yourself instead? | 02:12 |
| ubottu | supergauntlet look at this:: 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 | 02:12 |
| supergauntlet | thinknow, Just have an option to boot to windows in grub | 02:12 |
| supergauntlet | bekks, thanks | 02:12 |
| thinknow | i always have windows side by side with ubuntu and it shows up in grub each time | 02:13 |
| jhawk28 | wafflejock, havent tried that, but none of the CRLs are correct. Its saying invalid cert for the ubuntu sites | 02:13 |
| Crazyzurfer | supergauntlet: I can access to my windows 7 partition from the file manager and from console, if I change the chmod permissions to a file in that partition, it changes the way windows uses it? | 02:13 |
| thinknow | win7, winxp, 2000 ++ | 02:13 |
| supergauntlet | bekks, would I just do grub-install /dev/sda and edit grub.cfg as needd? | 02:13 |
| jhawk28 | supergauntlet: what bios do you have? | 02:13 |
| supergauntlet | Crazyzurfer, I believe it would | 02:14 |
| cbilljones | wafflejock ive never compiled a single file like this from source after editting do you know how i apply? | 02:14 |
| supergauntlet | jhawk28, some american megatrends bios | 02:14 |
| wafflejock | yeah invalid cert should only happen for a few reasons, either it thinks the certificates validity date doesn't match or it can't contact or doesn't have the appropriate servers listed as trusted authorities | 02:14 |
| supergauntlet | I have a Vizio CN15, nice laptop but the BIOS is awful | 02:14 |
| bekks | Crazyzurfer: you cannot change permissions on a NTFS, since NTFS doesnt not anything about linux file permissions. | 02:14 |
| wafflejock | cbilljones: since this project has a Makefile you can use it | 02:14 |
| wafflejock | usually the process goes like this | 02:14 |
| wafflejock | ./configure | 02:14 |
| wafflejock | make | 02:14 |
| wafflejock | make install | 02:14 |
| FloodBot1 | wafflejock: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:14 |
| wafflejock | sometimes you have to sudo make install... thx flood bot | 02:14 |
| supergauntlet | wafflejock, don't forget that you often have to change the prefix | 02:15 |
| Crazyzurfer | bekks: So if I try to change the permissions, it won't let me? or nothing will happen with windows | 02:15 |
| cbilljones | wafflejock i must have downloaded wrong thing give me a few | 02:15 |
| jhawk28 | wafflejock: I verified that the time is current, deleted the crls/certs dir, and ran both the reinstall of ca-certificates and update-ca-certificates | 02:15 |
| bekks | Crazyzurfer: It lets you, but it has no effect. | 02:15 |
| wafflejock | supergauntlet: true there's also environment variables that may need to be set... any idea where the docs for building indicator-session could be found | 02:15 |
| supergauntlet | wafflejock, is ./configure --help not useful? | 02:16 |
| Crazyzurfer | bekks: thanks! so.. i will change permissions in ubuntu with no fear :) | 02:16 |
| bekks | Crazyzurfer: pretty pointless ;) | 02:16 |
| repudiate | Spec: hey | 02:16 |
| lauratika | what is the best app for remote access of my pc?? | 02:16 |
| Crazyzurfer | bekks: It's for using that directory with lampp, so don't have repeated files in both partitions | 02:17 |
| Crazyzurfer | lampp requires +x permissions on the folder | 02:17 |
| wafflejock | oh looks like this acutally has Makefile.am so this is automake I believe... not super familiar with this but will see what kind of damage I can do here... supergauntlet any more advice? | 02:17 |
| cbilljones | wafflejack which file? indicator-session.c? | 02:17 |
| bekks | Crazyzurfer: LAMPP? dont use it. Dont. Never. Never ever. | 02:18 |
| bekks | Crazyzurfer: Use the ubuntu packages to install apache2, mysql, php and whatever you need. | 02:18 |
| Crazyzurfer | bekks: :O, why?.. it's just for developing, nothing serious | 02:18 |

| bekks | Crazyzurfer: dont use it. It isnt supported in here. | 02:19 |
| jhawk28 | supergauntlet, does it have a way to see the boot priority? Can you select it and then hit enter? | 02:19 |
| wafflejock | bekks: also would say why? it's fine for development IMO | 02:19 |
| jhawk28 | supergauntlet: I have a American Megatrends too | 02:19 |
| Crazyzurfer | bekks: not asking for support here :) | 02:19 |
| bekks | wafflejock: Its a totally messed up environment with entirely no chance to duplicate the setup to a live environment. Dont use it. | 02:19 |
| wafflejock | bekks: I don't understand what the problem is honestly I mean you don't want to have your configuration setup so it allows for as much stuff as you'll allow on a development machine but aside from permissions differences on files and in configuration how is it so vastly different | 02:21 |
| wafflejock | it's apache, mysql, php | 02:21 |
| jhawk28 | wafflejock: is there a "Hard Disk Drives" under Boot Settings? | 02:21 |
| jhawk28 | oops, supergauntlet: is there a "Hard Disk Drives" under Boot Settings? | 02:21 |
| wafflejock | okay yeah was confused | 02:22 |
| wafflejock | haha | 02:22 |
| cbilljones | wafflejock ok i made the change, cant run ./configure; do you know how this makefile.am works? haha | 02:22 |
| bekks | wafflejock: You miss the point. When developing for a live environmentm, you want to have an environment that is similar to the production environment. Hopefully, you will never ever ever have LAMPP in a production environment. | 02:22 |
| wafflejock | sorry haven't done a ton with make files been doing a lot of web dev lately so learning about grunt which is sort of an equivalent to make files for web development, I think you just need automake but not sure | 02:23 |
| wafflejock | bekks: can you point out all the differences? or which ones are so drastically breaking in your opinion? | 02:23 |
| === jaTT is now known as James_WB | ||
| bekks | wafflejock: differences are: no ubuntu packages involved in LAMPP, different configuration files, different database setup, different php setup, etc. | 02:24 |
| linuxnewbie | hello, what application do you use to monitor system update status for the servers (i'm talking about 20+ servers) | 02:24 |
| wafflejock | bekks: are you talking about http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html | 02:26 |
| wafflejock | or are you talking about like "sudo apt-get install lamp-server^" | 02:26 |
| wafflejock | I don't think the former is any different from installing the packages individually | 02:27 |
| wafflejock | er rather the second crap | 02:27 |
| wafflejock | so if you do the lamp-server^ it just installs the same set of packages as you get with doing it youself it's not a XAMPP setup | 02:27 |
| wafflejock | or am I mistaken? | 02:28 |
| wheatthin | it's the same mysql apache and php | 02:29 |
| wheatthin | just with a gui | 02:29 |
| wafflejock | yeah wheatthin but I believe XAMPP versions are all preconfigured with very open permissions and showing errors etc., it's still not some drastic huge change IMO but is different from lamp-server^ or doing all the apt-get installs yourself | 02:32 |
| bekks | wafflejock: the configs are different, etc. | 02:33 |
| wafflejock | right but I don't think that's true if you do it with lamp-server^ in ubuntu that is the same as just doing each of the installs in order it gives you the "regular" configuration | 02:34 |
| bekks | wafflejock: it is true. Not believing in it means you will learn it the hard way. You have been warned. | 02:35 |
| === Capcard is now known as FalseProphet | ||
| wafflejock | you still have to setup your folder and file permissions appropriately etc. but it's no less secure than typing all the commands yourself... XAMPP on the other hand takes a lot of work to lock down | 02:35 |
| xyz111 | Hi guys - a bit of a noob question - I have an SSH connection which I keep live 24/7 - it is essentially idle most of the time.

| bekks | xyz111: no it doesnt. it just takes a few kB every now and then to negotiate with the remote server. | 02:36 |

| xyz111 | OerHeks: not that I am aware of | 02:39 |

| wafflejock | bekks: what's your recomendation for installing Apache MySQL and PHP? | 02:39 |
| bekks | wafflejock: sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server ... | 02:40 |
| wafflejock | with lamp-server^ it's just invoking tasksel with lamp-server which is recommended here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP | 02:40 |
| OerHeks | xyz111 iftop can do that too > http://askubuntu.com/questions/257263/how-to-display-network-traffic-in-terminal | 02:41 |

| Roy_Ubuntu_13-04 | i got some stuff im wanting to install and OF the Seven things it wants to remove,, One of them is 'ubuntu-desktop' !!! How Bad Is That ??? | 02:46 |
| bekks | Peasant333: So you just copy and pasted the instructions. | 02:46 |
| Peasant333 | so somehow apache switched users and i dont know how to switch it back so it wont start. | 02:46 |
| Peasant333 | yes | 02:46 |

| bekks | Roy_Ubuntu_13-04: what are you actually trying to accomplish? | 02:48 |
| Peasant333 | :( | 02:48 |
| Roy_Ubuntu_13-04 | all my apps i use and there add-ons, im installing them all in one line | 02:48 |
| Roy_Ubuntu_13-04 | bekks^ | 02:48 |
| cbilljones | wafflejock im able to run make now, almost there | 02:49 |
| Roy_Ubuntu_13-04 | doing it on a fresh system | 02:49 |
| bekks | Roy_Ubuntu_13-04: so why are you trying to remove something when actually are trying to install something? | 02:49 |
| Roy_Ubuntu_13-04 | No... apt-get sais recomended stuff, this will be removed, this will be installed | 02:50 |
| Tylertwo | Roy_Ubuntu_13-04, I kinda accidentally removed ubuntu-desktop today.. Nothing's blown up but then again I'm using LXDE. I think ubuntu-desktop might have more to do with unity/gnome | 02:50 |
| bekks | ubuntu-desktop is a meta package which does not actually remove anything. | 02:51 |
| Roy_Ubuntu_13-04 | so its safe? | 02:51 |
| cbilljones | Tylertwo i beleive that is a meta package for upgrades; if im correct you should be fine if you dont upgrade | 02:51 |
| loa | if ulatency work well on ubuntu? | 02:52 |
| bekks | Roy_Ubuntu_13-04: No, thats nod being said. Whats the entire output of "your command" before pressing enter to actually do what your command implies? | 02:52 |
| bekks | loa: if... then... what? | 02:52 |
| Roy_Ubuntu_13-04 | humm ill add ubuntu-desktop to the mix of what i want installed, and se if it mentions a conflist | 02:52 |
| bekks | Roy_Ubuntu_13-04: whatever you are doing there. | 02:53 |
| bekks | Roy_Ubuntu_13-04: I am out of your issue. | 02:53 |
| loa | bekks, can't understand what you meen | 02:53 |
| Roy_Ubuntu_13-04 | brb with that bekks, its on the other machine, and ill need !paste | 02:53 |

| Roy_Ubuntu_13-04 | oh ok, brb | 02:58 |
| bekks | loa: Whats your specific question about ulatency? | 02:58 |

| kmyst | anybody know a good deal about preseeding? got a question regaring initrd vs file | 02:59 |
| OerHeks | honestemu, i haven't used devilspie for a long time, maybe this page is any help > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Devilspie | 02:59 |
| loa | bekks, first i noticed that sometime there is daily job looks like it is for update mlocate cache, and when it runs all hangs down.] | 02:59 |
| honestemu | OerHeks: Do you have applications starting up automatically whenever you log in? If so, what do you use? | 02:59 |

| miyako | hello | 03:01 |
| OerHeks | honestemu, i don't use it anymore, only used it as a test long time ago | 03:01 |

| miyako | not strictly an ubuntu question, but I've been looking for a relatively inexpensive smallish low power computer that I can run ubuntu on to use as a development machine. Something like a mac mini but not apple would be ideal- does anyone have any recommendations? | 03:04 |
| honestemu | OerHecks: I already read through that tutorial, but I can't seem to get it to work. I also tried using gdevilspie as well, but none of the changes are being reflected. get devilspie to start on login. | 03:04 |

| Roy_Ubuntu_13-04 | so i added ubuntu-desktop to the mix and there is a conflict with evince & evince-gtk .. evince is allready on the system, i added the -gtk cause it is a add-on for leafpad | 03:05 |
| Roy_Ubuntu_13-04 | bekks^ | 03:05 |
| kmyst | miyako: try one of those mini-itx dual core atom setups? | 03:05 |
| Roy_Ubuntu_13-04 | and ill see it that takes away the worry of ubuntu-desktop | 03:06 |
| Roy_Ubuntu_13-04 | when i remove the evince-gtk | 03:06 |
| miyako | kmyst, I was hoping for at least a haswell i5, possibly a laptop grade i7, I'm not sure an atom would really be what I want | 03:06 |
| kmyst | miyako: well you said smallish less expensive ;) | 03:07 |
| miyako | mac mini sized, less than $1200 | 03:07 |
| bekks | miyako: Erm, no. an Atom is not comparable with an i7. | 03:07 |
| bekks | miyako: Its like a calculator and a high end PC. | 03:07 |
| miyako | my current machine is a huge expensive gaming PC, so I guess small and low cost relative to that lol | 03:07 |
| kmyst | well that's a different story | 03:08 |
| miyako | basically, dual booting is a pain in the butt, and virtualization with a windows host is awful, but so is actually trying to do anything useful on windows | 03:08 |
| miyako | so I want to have a second machine to do real work on, and just use my big pc for gaming | 03:08 |
| kmyst | i just cobbled together a quad core amd with 8g of ram for under 500 | 03:08 |
| bekks | miyako: On an Atom? You are pretty patient. | 03:09 |
| miyako | other than gaming I don't need anything ridiculous, an i5 with 8gb of memory and a 200gb SSD would probably be perfect for what I need | 03:09 |
| bekks | miyako: You'd not even need the SSD. | 03:09 |
| miyako | the thing is, i hate actually building hardware, I'd much rather just buy something and not have to mess with assembling it | 03:09 |
| kmyst | bekks: i just said atom based on "inexpensive smallish" requirements :) | 03:09 |
| bekks | kmyst: :P | 03:09 |
| miyako | bekks, yeah, not strictly speaking, but SSDs are really nice once you get used to them | 03:10 |
| bekks | I have an Atom netbook - usefull for starting an ssh client to my IRC instance. | 03:10 |
| miyako | I have an i5 ultrabook, but actually doing work on it long term isn't great because it doesn't really dock well and the keyboard and screen aren't the best for long term programming | 03:11 |
| kmyst | i do too...have to two finger type on that thing...about useless to me but it was a neat toy | 03:11 |
| miyako | it's a series 9 15", so the keyboard is a good size, but the keystrokes are so shallow that it starts to get painful to type on | 03:11 |
| miyako | I guess I shouldn't complain much though, it's amazingly thin | 03:11 |
| bekks | kmyst: Its a cool thing when having those small requirement: give me a terminal, give me wifi, give me IRC. | 03:11 |
| olskolirc | what app is that you are using for mobile Dr_Willis | 03:12 |
| kmyst | bekks: agreed | 03:12 |
| Dr_Willis | olskolirc: on weechat on my netbook - hotspoted to my phone right now. On android i normally use AndChat | 03:12 |
| bekks | kmyst: Oh, and: give me an nxclient to some powerful box :) | 03:12 |
| olskolirc | ok | 03:12 |
| olskolirc | oh so you have orbot running Dr_Willis ? | 03:13 |
| bekks | kmyst: Those small thingies using nxclient are quite neat, indeed :) | 03:13 |
| kmyst | bekks: mmm nomachine :) | 03:13 |
| bekks | kmyst: Yeah. | 03:13 |
| kmyst | bekks: ya i just cross compiled that for a raspberry pi last week | 03:14 |
| Dr_Willis | olskolirc: orbot? never heard of it. | 03:14 |
| bekks | kmyst: Oh, cool :) How does it perform? And where did you get the nxclient source code from? | 03:14 |
| bekks | kmyst: Or did you use freenx? | 03:14 |
| olskolirc | its tor for Android Dr_Willis made by the torproject - its already configured just turn it on and go | 03:14 |
| olskolirc | all your apps are torified too Dr_Willis | 03:15 |
| kmyst | bekks: bekks from nomachine and some from freenx | 03:15 |
| kmyst | bekks: performance is really good considering the rpi :) | 03:15 |
| bekks | kmyst: yeah, it all depends on the hw of the thingie running the client. | 03:16 |
| miyako | I started using weechat at work, I like it better than irssi but I still haven't switched at home because of momentum I guess | 03:16 |
| kmyst | bekks: yup but once you get it tuned it beats vnc | 03:17 |
| bekks | kmyst: But thats good to know - I am about getting an rPi for exactly that: "give me some small client being able to run a remote client" | 03:17 |

| bekks | Roy_Ubuntu_13-04: recommended packages are just benefits, not required. | 03:19 |
| Roy_Ubuntu_13-04 | what about what it wants to remove, is it cause i have alternitaves or will i likely miss those bekks | 03:20 |
| Ben64 | Roy_Ubuntu_13-04: what are you installing | 03:21 |

| ubuntu12345 | oh i tried that it doesnt work | 03:23 |
| ubuntu12345 | via network manager | 03:24 |
| Ben64 | !work | 03:24 |
| ubottu | Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 03:24 |

| Roy_Ubuntu_13-04 | yes u asked what im installing | 03:25 |
| Ben64 | Roy_Ubuntu_13-04: well you highlighted bekks | 03:25 |
| roadfish | tsk, #ubuntu+1 is kind of dead. So I hope you'll take a follow up question. | 03:25 |
| Ben64 | and with all those PPAs and stuff, i wouldn't know what to suggest to you, Roy_Ubuntu_13-04 | 03:25 |
| roadfish | if I installed 13.10 and did an apt-get upgrade next week, then would that be just as reliable as installing the ISO on the 17th? | 03:26 |
| Roy_Ubuntu_13-04 | its just 2 of the ppa the rest is ubuntu packages | 03:26 |
| Dr_Willis | roadfish: thats a faq ;) and yes it would be the same. apt dosent really care if we call whats out now beta or not. | 03:27 |
| Dr_Willis | !upgrade | 03:27 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 03:27 |
| Ben64 | roadfish: you'd need apt-get dist-upgrade, and probably | 03:27 |
| roadfish | ok thanks | 03:27 |
| Dr_Willis | roadfish: on the 17th everyone elswe will be instlling and updateing. and the servers will most likely be slow slow slow.. | 03:27 |
| OerHeks | roadfish, before you do that, download the iso and put it on cd/usb | 03:27 |
| reisio | roadfish: theoretically it should be | 03:28 |
| roadfish | ok, I'll put at 98% likely ... but always a 2% FUBAR cropping up | 03:28 |
| Dr_Willis | update/upgrade on the 16th. grab the iso on the 17th or so when the torrents are blazeing fast. then hold off on new installs/update/upgradeing untill a few days later when the servers get back to normal load. | 03:28 |

| Paulus68_1 | Dr_Willis: or just wait a week and upgrade then :) | 03:29 |
| reisio | roadfish: basically the more frequently you just fix something instead of reinstalling, they less likely you will ever have to consider resorting to reinstalling again | 03:30 |
| reisio | because even the most buggy GNU/Linux distro shouldn't have to be reinstalled unless you're changing architecture, or you've broken it so hard it will simply take less time to "reinstall" | 03:30 |

| porten | I'm having a hard time diagnosing what's wrong with my wireless adapter, this issue only comes up when i'm playing dota 2, not cs or anything like that | 03:32 |
| porten | http://pastebin.com/Dh1LsPiH | 03:32 |
| porten | After about 30 minute of playing what seems to happen is my wireless adapter goes full retard and begins locking up my usb ports | 03:33 |
| porten | so my mouse & keyboard die | 03:33 |
| reisio | porten: is your adapter over usb? | 03:33 |
| porten | yea | 03:33 |
| daftykins | gaming over a wireless connection = pants on head retarded | 03:33 |
| porten | lol | 03:33 |
| porten | what's crazy is i can play cs fine for ever | 03:34 |
| porten | but only dota 2 it goes berzerk | 03:34 |
| OerHeks | porten so it looks like dota2 is the issue, not your wireless hardware. | 03:35 |
| porten | OerHeks: yea maybe, I'm trying to make sense of what those syslog errors are though | 03:37 |
| porten | and how all of the sudden it turns into this cascading effect of destroying my usb devices | 03:37 |
| Roy_Ubuntu_13-04 | porten physically destroying? | 03:39 |
| porten | Roy_Ubuntu_13-04: well, the wireless mouse and keyboard stop working, i have to unplug/plugin everything again | 03:40 |
| Roy_Ubuntu_13-04 | i was aksing cause i pulled some trickery to recover much data off a usb memory stick that physically was going bad | 03:41 |

| Crazyzurfer | hi guys.. I've setted up some virtualhosts in apache and got 403 error when trying to access them from the webserver.. Looked to the log an found this: [Thu Oct 10 00:49:33.633979 2013] [core:error] [pid 10787] (13)Permiso denegado: [client 127.0.0.1:36297] AH00035: access to / denied (filesystem path '/media/joako/3846ADEC46ADAAD8') because search permissions are missing on a component of the path | 03:51 |
| reisio | ryannathans: you don't | 03:51 |
| Crazyzurfer | the problem is that I try to give +x to that folder but doesnt' work and tried changing the ownership, and doesn't work either :( | 03:51 |
| buu | Crazyzurfer: Sounds like the apache user doesn't have r+x on one of the folders in the tree | 03:51 |
| reisio | ryannathans: probably you've told your system to assume your usb headset is a particular device by detection number, which changes based on when you insert it, instead of based on something that doesn't change | 03:51 |
| buu | Crazyzurfer: You have to fix the entire path | 03:51 |
| ryannathans | reisio: i've just plugged it in and don't nothing else | 03:52 |
| reisio | ryannathans: mmhmmm | 03:52 |

| sqlnoob | I was going through the manpage of fuse & read this: "Most of the generic mount options described in mount are supported (ro, rw, suid, nosuid, dev, nodev, exec, noexec, atime, noatime, sync, async, dirsync). Filesystems are mounted with nodev,nosuid by default, which can only be overridden by a privileged user." | 03:55 |
| ryannathans | it detects my mic fine | 03:56 |
| ryannathans | on the usb headset, just not the speakers till reboot | 03:56 |
| Dr_Willis | see what modules it loads when it works. and try loading those by hand | 03:58 |
| OerHeks | ryannathans, open terminal: alsamixer # and select your USB device with F6 ? | 03:59 |

| ryannathans | OerHeks: yeah, that works. No applications send audio to it though, and it doesn't appear in my sound input in the gui from the speaker on the taskar | 04:01 |
| Dr_Willis | where you put scripts or launchers. or binaries | 04:01 |
| buu | sqlnoob: man mount | 04:01 |
| honestemu | Dr_Willis: So whatever script I put in ~/.config/autostart will be run when I log in? | 04:02 |
| Dr_Willis | you mean login to the Desktop/X/unity/kde/gnome/whatever - or a console, or ssh login. ;) | 04:03 |
| Dr_Willis | autostart is usewd by most of the desktops when you login to your X session | 04:03 |
| wafflejock | right as Dr_Willis says need more details on when you need the script to execute, can be configured through system settings to be executed at GUI login or can be in scripts for your shell when starting a terminal emulator | 04:04 |
| sqlnoob | went through the man page & it says : "Do not set character or special devices access on this partition." | 04:04 |
| sqlnoob | for nodev | 04:04 |

| ista | tH | 04:05 |
| Dr_Willis | honestemu: theres the CONSOLE text based login: then theres the X login to the GUI/Desktop | 04:05 |
| Dr_Willis | honestemu: autostart is used by X/Gui/TheDesktop | 04:05 |
| Dr_Willis | not if youlogin at the console. or ssh | 04:06 |
| sirriffsalot | Is there a way to, on startup, have the different startup-applications open in different workspaces automatically? | 04:06 |
| ista | why Checksum error after debsign? | 04:06 |
| honestemu | Dr_Willis: I guess it's the GUI Desktop. you know, the one with all the windows, and Unity launcher, and it displays my awesome desktop background? ;-) | 04:06 |
| wafflejock | sirriffsalot: KDE handles this pretty well not sure about an alternative in Unity | 04:07 |
| Dr_Willis | sirriffsalot: unity and compiz has plugins in the ccsm tool to tweak some windows settings as to what appears where. theres also tools like 'devilspie' to tweak some things | 04:07 |
| honestemu | sirriffsalot: Hey! That's exactly what I'm trying to figure out! | 04:09 |
| Dr_Willis | id bet askubuntu.com has some other ways to do it as well | 04:09 |

| wafflejock | honestemu: http://askubuntu.com/questions/129885/how-could-unity2d-save-sessions <== maybe helpful dunno | 04:10 |
| luminous | hello! how would I run the apt-key import to always get the latest gpg key for a ppa? | 04:11 |
| sirriffsalot | wafflejock: dude screw Unity and the like.. frivolous stuff, are there no general options for this in Ubuntu? | 04:12 |
| luminous | eg, if adding mongodb's gpg ppa key, they have it here: http://docs.mongodb.org/10gen-gpg-key.asc | 04:12 |
| luminous | can I use that to always get the latest? | 04:12 |
| luminous | wow, they don't have that on https.. sad | 04:12 |
| honestemu | wafflejock: That was actually really helpful. I'll see if I can get it to work! | 04:13 |
| wafflejock | honestemu: best of luck | 04:13 |
| wafflejock | sirriffsalot: yeah I ultimately just switched to KDE after having used straight Ubuntu for about a year for development, been playing with Ubuntu since like 06.09 I think and always liked Gnome but also not a huge fan of Unity and digging KDE more ATM | 04:15 |
| rat_ | DBAN supports ISO booting from disk so I followed this guide : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1549847 but it returned the errors kernel not found and file not found while booting , can anyone please help me out? | 04:15 |
| reisio | rat_: what do you want DBAN for | 04:15 |
| rat_ | I don't want to use DD or Shred if thats what youre tryna say | 04:16 |
| reisio | rat_: it isn't | 04:16 |
| rat_ | Well to secure wipe a HDD | 04:16 |
| reisio | there's basically 0 evidence that anything more than dd'ing /dev/zero over a drive _once_ gets you anything extra | 04:16 |
| reisio | which makes DBAN a huge waste of time, you can dd zero from Ubuntu install media, most likely | 04:17 |
| === jacerx_ is now known as jacerx | ||
| rat_ | But DD takes a lot fo time | 04:17 |
| reisio | moreover unless you're giving the drive away, just physically destroy it | 04:17 |
| rat_ | of* | 04:17 |
| wafflejock | reisio: unless you're dealing with NSA correct? think they wipe 7 passes or something to get rid of magnetic traces on traditional HDD | 04:17 |
| reisio | rat_: only if you use it wrong | 04:17 |
| reisio | wafflejock: that's so they get paid for 7 times the hours | 04:17 |
| wafflejock | haha | 04:17 |
| wafflejock | probably | 04:17 |
| reisio | seriously | 04:18 |
| reisio | there was a time, maybe forty years ago | 04:18 |
| raven_ | hey guys | 04:18 |
| rat_ | Okay then any guides on how to use DD? | 04:18 |
| reisio | when you could find traces of data on a HD | 04:18 |
| reisio | but it isn't forty years ago | 04:18 |
| reisio | SSDs are something else, of course, but overwiping won't help you there either | 04:18 |
| wafflejock | yeah I imagine if you have SSD this isn't an issue at all | 04:18 |
| reisio | actually SSDs make it harder :) | 04:18 |
| wafflejock | oh right cause it doesn't write to the space | 04:18 |
| wafflejock | I read abotu that | 04:18 |
| rat_ | How shall I DD a drive reisio? | 04:19 |
| raven_ | Does anyone know how to find the notification area icons for an app? | 04:19 |
| reisio | rat_: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/whatever bs=1M | 04:19 |
| wafflejock | just marks it as "deleted" and won't overwrite due to the nature of SSD dying and wanting to distribute data | 04:19 |
| reisio | rat_: the 1M is the amount written at once, it should probably be less than RAM | 04:19 |
| reisio | rat_: the higher it is, the faster it finishes | 04:19 |
| wafflejock | reisio: regarding that how high can the bs be? | 04:19 |
| reisio | wafflejock: but if you can afford SSDs, you can afford to physically destroy them | 04:19 |
| rat_ | I've 512 MB of ram what shall I enter? | 04:19 |
| wafflejock | like does it matter if you're writing to SD card? | 04:19 |
| reisio | rat_: how big is the disk? | 04:20 |
| reisio | I'm not aware of any limit | 04:20 |
| rat_ | 160 GB | 04:20 |
| reisio | except if you exceed RAM, it will just start failing, IME | 04:20 |
| wafflejock | hmm k just seen 4M suggested was curious if that was required for RasPi images | 04:20 |
| reisio | rat_: something less than 512MB :) | 04:20 |
| moogs | hello | 04:20 |
| reisio | wafflejock: unlikely | 04:20 |
| wafflejock | I know without it the transfer is terrible slow... will try one with a high amount next time and see what happens | 04:21 |
| reisio | wafflejock: it might be specific to the physical media, but that's also unlikely | 04:21 |
| reisio | moogs: hi | 04:21 |
| rat_ | Okay after booting from a live CD can I directly enter this into the terminal? | 04:21 |
| wafflejock | rat_: think so Ctrl+alt+f1 | 04:22 |
| reisio | rat_: yes, just make sure you get the right /dev/foo | 04:22 |
| reisio | for progress you can run: while(true); do kill -USR1 `pgrep -l dd | egrep ' dd$' | awk '{ print $1 }'`; sleep 5m; done (and observe term you ran dd from) | 04:22 |
| reisio | if it's going to slowly, cancel it and up the bs value | 04:22 |
| reisio | too* | 04:23 |
| wafflejock | reisio: good advice I tried using some other variant of dd that was supposed to report progress but had problems the kill to send the signal periodically worked well I just did it manually though, nice little script there | 04:24 |
| reisio | yeah, 'fraid I don't have much experience with the newer alternatives | 04:25 |
| reisio | GNU's works fairly well | 04:25 |
| rat_ | http://superuser.com/questions/528134/difference-between-dban-and-dd-command-to-securely-wipe-a-hdd | 04:26 |
| rat_ | reisio check that out | 04:26 |
| reisio | rat_: what about it? | 04:27 |
| rat_ | The guy with the second answer is a highly respected guy over there | 04:27 |
| reisio | no he isn't | 04:27 |
| reisio | the higher the number, the less frequently that person ever leaves his computer | 04:28 |
| reisio | does that sound like someone to respect? | 04:28 |
| reisio | http://www.google.com/search?q=why%20stackoverflow%20sucks | 04:29 |
| reisio | anyways, there are no explanations there, just claims | 04:32 |
| Dr_Willis | less frequeently the person leaves the computer.. sounds like some people i know on IRC. ;) | 04:32 |
| reisio | Dr_Willis: irrelevance! :p | 04:33 |
| reisio | rat_: here read this: http://www.hostjury.com/blog/view/195/the-great-zero-challenge-remains-unaccepted | 04:33 |
| rat_ | k | 04:34 |
| reisio | or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Dd_%28Unix%29#Recovery_of_overwritten_data | 04:34 |
| reisio | but mostly consider that if you are really worried about some massively funded forensics laboratory trying to get data off your used, discarded disk | 04:36 |
| reisio | ...maybe you should just physically destroy it instead | 04:36 |
| wilee-nilee | reisio, Good find I had seen some research on this and found the same, but lost the links. | 04:36 |
| reisio | a 160GB hard disk is not a large cost to replace | 04:36 |
| rat_ | dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/whatever bs=1M | 04:36 |
| reisio | and if you are hiding secrets worth that much, even moreso | 04:36 |
| reisio | rat_: pretty much | 04:37 |
| rat_ | what shall I substitue whatever with? | 04:37 |
| reisio | rat_: the absolute correct string as determined by the output of fdisk -l or /sbin/blkid | 04:37 |
| reisio | if you choose the wrong one, you might accidentally wipe something you wanted | 04:37 |
| reisio | :) | 04:37 |
| moogs | hello | 04:38 |
| reisio | wilee-nilee: its endurance is strange given that nobody really makes money off of the utilities to redundantly wipe :p | 04:38 |
| mr_lou | Morning | 04:38 |
| reisio | moogs: hi again | 04:38 |
| mr_lou | A few weeks ago my Ubuntu PC began freezing a few minutes after the first boot. Only the first boot. A few days ago I finally pulled myself together and did some RAM and harddisk tests, but they're fine. So now I'm a bit clueless. Anyone have any idea? | 04:40 |
| reisio | boot boot, or boot from hibernation/suspend? | 04:41 |
| mr_lou | Boot after having been turned off. | 04:41 |
| wilee-nilee | reisio, Its called confirmation bias, someone see a supposed better statement and see the next one and believes it based on the first without any real proof, hehe, human nature really. | 04:41 |
| reisio | wilee-nilee: it's just strange given how ridiculously time consuming it is :p | 04:42 |
| wilee-nilee | yeah | 04:42 |
| reisio | in particular | 04:42 |
| reisio | that they wouldn't say "for real? Really?" | 04:42 |
| reisio | :p | 04:42 |
| wafflejock | interesting artical | 04:42 |
| wafflejock | article | 04:42 |
| reisio | but I mean, realistically there are three entities you're guarding against | 04:43 |
| reisio | the laptop thief | 04:43 |
| wafflejock | saw this recently is still proposing the magnetic resonance can be read http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SSSMi4X_mA I agree it's overkill usually though | 04:43 |
| reisio | they sell your computer for $5's worth of drugs, and won't even get past unencrypted password protection, and probably wouldn't even bother | 04:43 |
| reisio | the amateur identity thief: simply encryption will stop them | 04:43 |
| reisio | the informed thief: you cannot stop this person | 04:43 |
| rat_ | rei shall I put this whole command: while(true); do kill -USR1 `pgrep -l dd | egrep ' dd$' | awk '{ print $1 }'`; sleep 5m; done to get status? | 04:44 |
| reisio | the informed thief will simply determine your authentication process and obtain your data without you knowing | 04:44 |
| reisio | there's little you can do but put your computer inside fort knox | 04:44 |
| reisio | rat_: yup | 04:45 |
| reisio | rat_: might start with 10s intead of 5m, to be sure the rate is sufficient | 04:45 |
| reisio | then cancel and rerun as desired | 04:45 |
| rat_ | I didnt get ya | 04:45 |
| reisio | it says '5m' in that command | 04:45 |
| reisio | means every 5 minutes | 04:45 |
| histo | wafflejock: http://www.vidarholen.net/~vidar/overwriting_hard_drive_data.pdf | 04:45 |
| reisio | you might want to run it with 10s instead for starters | 04:45 |
| rat_ | ah kya gotcha | 04:46 |
| Psil0Cybin | hey guys if i ssh into a server is it possible to open up a process that is being used on the machine without ssh like | 04:47 |
| histo | Psil0Cybin: what process? | 04:47 |
| Psil0Cybin | if i have a machine that is a bitcoin minner and i have the minner running through the gui terminal, can i ssh in and see what is going on via my terminal without disrupting the process when i disconnect | 04:47 |
| === moogs is now known as _moogs | ||
| reisio | histo: and that only addresses the fantastical situation in which they would try to data that sensitive from a drive the person didn't bother to physically destroy, when they could just get it from the original drive at essentially any time | 04:48 |
| wafflejock | histo: interesting so as good as guessing after one wipe | 04:48 |
| reisio | Psil0Cybin: technically yes, but it's not the best practice | 04:48 |
| Psil0Cybin | or would i start the process within SSH | 04:48 |
| Psil0Cybin | okay | 04:48 |
| reisio | Psil0Cybin: it's best to start processes like that inside a GNU screen session | 04:48 |
| Psil0Cybin | so i would SSH in, get Screens or what ever...start the process | 04:48 |
| Psil0Cybin | and leave? | 04:48 |
| reisio | Psil0Cybin: in a jam you can use reptyr | 04:48 |
| Dr_Willis | Psil0Cybin: use screen, tmux, or byobu - then you can connect to the shell session from any other shell | 04:48 |
| reisio | Psil0Cybin: yeah | 04:48 |
| Psil0Cybin | okay | 04:48 |
| Psil0Cybin | thanks :) for clarifying | 04:49 |
| reisio | or if it's a GUI process already running, VNC in | 04:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Psil0Cybin: even if the shell is running in a x terminal | 04:49 |
| histo | Psil0Cybin: yes tmux or screen or nohup | 04:49 |
| Psil0Cybin | perfect | 04:49 |
| Psil0Cybin | thanks guys | 04:49 |
| Psil0Cybin | you all rock | 04:49 |

| Ari-Yang | ryannathans: tbh I don't recommend fglrx because it has terrible 2d acceleration.... | 05:04 |
| supergauntlet | Turns out I can just install to one drive and write the boot loader to another! | 05:05 |
| reisio | supergauntlet: :) | 05:05 |
| ryannathans | Ari-Yang: so which one? | 05:05 |
| supergauntlet | reisio: I was surprised it was so straightforward | 05:06 |
| reisio | been using other OSes, have we? :) | 05:06 |
| Ari-Yang | ryannathans: I choose oss over fglrx anyday... | 05:06 |
| supergauntlet | I could have sworn I would have had to do some voodoo magic with grub-install | 05:06 |
| supergauntlet | reisio: Well I did LFS a while back so I was prepared | 05:07 |
| supergauntlet | But I didn't realize the ubuntu installer had this capability built in | 05:07 |
| reisio | supergauntlet: that's just sick :p | 05:07 |
| supergauntlet | LFS was a learning experience if very tedious | 05:07 |
| kalakj | hello everyone, i am using ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS and on windows i am getting maximum brightness, here on ubuntu, i am not able to get exactly the same brightness level as compared with windows | 05:08 |
| kalakj | now my brightness level is full and | 05:09 |
| kalakj | it is app. 70-80%of windows | 05:09 |
| kalakj | how to change that setting | 05:09 |
| reisio | kalakj: on a laptop? | 05:09 |
| kalakj | reisio: yes | 05:10 |
| cdrkeen | hey guys i know you are going to yell at me but I figured I'd give this place a try... so I flashed coreboot seabios payload on my chromebook and now my touchpad no works in lubuntu | 05:10 |
| reisio | kalakj: the brightness key combo doesn't do it? | 05:10 |
| kalakj | no, fn+arrow up key, changes brightness | 05:11 |
| reisio | cdrkeen: now? Before it did? | 05:11 |
| kalakj | level is showing full | 05:11 |
| kalakj | but it is not equal to windows | 05:11 |
| kalakj | i mean i am not getting full brightness as compared to windows | 05:11 |
| reisio | kalakj: you ever like it lower than full? | 05:11 |
| kalakj | yes, it is okay in the room | 05:11 |
| kalakj | but outside, it creates problem | 05:12 |
| reisio | kalakj: what make/model? | 05:12 |
| cdrkeen | reisio: yeah after i flashed it | 05:12 |
| kalakj | Lenovo B480 | 05:12 |
| kalakj | Pentium dual core b960, 2gb ram | 05:13 |
| reisio | cdrkeen: seems fairly obvious what the problem is, then | 05:13 |
| kalakj | that's it | 05:13 |
| cdrkeen | reisio: yeah i can't flash back with flashrom anymore... so i guess i'm gonna sell this off to some chump on craigslist | 05:13 |
| cdrkeen | at least they can use ubuntu with the keyboard :p | 05:14 |
| Tex_Nick | Dr_Willis, re: you're recommendation that i use badblocks to locate (15 bad sectors) on my 1 TB HDD ... makes me wish the HDD was a 10 MB HDD ... ;-) jeeze, the price we pay for increasingly larger memory storage | 05:14 |
| vee_ | hey guys, i tried installing flash player on chromium, but when iw atch a youtube video, it studders then says an error occured. i tried to download from adobe's site then use the .so file and paste it into the plugin locations, but no go. any ideas? | 05:15 |
| cdrkeen | vee_: download chrome from GOOGLE | 05:16 |
| chaos7theory | If you're using Chromium with Adobe Flash, you probably should just use Google Chrome | 05:16 |
| vee_ | i'd rather not use chrome, cdrkeen :/ | 05:16 |
| cdrkeen | vee_: its the same thing... minus you have to fiddle with flash | 05:16 |
| vee_ | but...its not open source :( | 05:16 |
| chaos7theory | And at least with Youtube videos, I believe they support HTML5 videos | 05:17 |
| vee_ | granted flash really isn't either haha | 05:17 |
| cdrkeen | use chrome flash is dead on linux without it in a few years | 05:17 |
| reisio | cdrkeen: nonsense | 05:17 |
| reisio | and it's dead regardless | 05:17 |
| vee_ | i have it worked on another computer with chromium, im just dont knwo why this thing | 05:17 |
| vee_ | isn't working like the other | 05:17 |
| cdrkeen | vee_: try installing chrome... seriously it just works... | 05:18 |
| chaos7theory | If you're complaining about it not being open source and yet not reluctant to use Adobe Flash, it seems a bit hyporitical anyways ._. | 05:21 |
| chaos7theory | It's better to at least be consistent | 05:21 |
| vee_ | flash player is crashing on firefox too xD | 05:23 |
| reisio | that's what flash player is for | 05:24 |
| bl4ckdu5t | while I was updating my packages, I got this prompt => The action will require installation from not authenticated source | 05:27 |
| bl4ckdu5t | then it just fails | 05:27 |
| bl4ckdu5t | what can I do? | 05:27 |
| Dr_Willis | figure out what source and authenticate it? | 05:28 |
| cfhowlett | bl4ckdu5t, you have to go to sources and enabled 3rd party repositories. Not advisable unless yo know where / what you're exposing your system to | 05:29 |
| bl4ckdu5t | cfhowlett: How do I get to the sources? | 05:32 |
| cfhowlett | ubuntu software center > edit > settings > | 05:33 |
| cfhowlett | SOFTWARE settings | 05:33 |
| Ghosthunter007 | blackdus5t: You can find the url location of the source it is trying to get and see if youc an do a ppa certificate which is a bit safer | 05:33 |
| cfhowlett | bl4ckdu5t, and then you'll see updates ... but see ghosthunter007' suggestion as well | 05:34 |
| kalakj | I have micromax 352g modem, and it is working properly, modem manager is detecting it but i am not able to send USSD codes or SMS from it | 05:36 |
| kalakj | i also tried GSM USSD, but it is not working | 05:36 |
| kalakj | any help, appriciated | 05:37 |
| Anubis | hi. is there a way to archive electronically all the inbound and outbound emails ? | 05:37 |
| bl4ckdu5t | I don't know how to get the URL | 05:37 |
| kalakj | i am on a metered connection and it is costly, so i need to check my data balance frequently | 05:38 |
| bl4ckdu5t | also when I do "apt-get update", some packages fail to update too then I was thinking it could be b'cos the URLs for the PPA are outdated and I've not been able to find them | 05:38 |
| Dr_Willis | bl4ckdu5t: look at the error messges from sudo apt-get update, and sudo apt-get upgrade. they should mention the bad ppa's or sources | 05:39 |
| cfhowlett | bl4ckdu5t, try this sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade packages that fail that might be as Dr_willis suggested. PPA's are installed only if you choose them so ... | 05:40 |
| kalakj | Dr_Willis: can you help me regarding GSM modem USSD CODES, they are working properly in windows, but not able to send codes in Linux, | 05:40 |
| Dr_Willis | kalakj: nope. never used them | 05:40 |
| kalakj | i installed Modem Manager GUI | 05:40 |
| kalakj | Dr_Willis: thanks, have you used DVD'S | 05:41 |
| Dr_Willis | !dvd | 05:41 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 05:41 |
| Dr_Willis | to play video dvd you install a pavkage and run a script ;) | 05:41 |
| kalakj | My DVD tray is opening frequently automatically at random intervals | 05:41 |
| Dr_Willis | or just rip them to video files | 05:41 |
| kalakj | it is not happening on windows | 05:41 |
| Dr_Willis | that sounds like somthing auto-mounting or unmouning | 05:42 |
| kalakj | I can say that it is not a hardware fault | 05:42 |
| kalakj | when i login to windows, it never happend | 05:42 |
| kalakj | but when i login to ubuntu, it happens atleast one time, after login | 05:42 |
| kalakj | but time is random | 05:43 |
| jswilfer | ssh http://root@162.243.39.205:fred2fred | 05:43 |
| Dr_Willis | again.. some app is telling to to eject. | 05:43 |
| Ghosthunter007 | kalakj: what version is your modem manager | 05:43 |
| kalakj | tray opens at random interval | 05:43 |
| Dr_Willis | monitor dmesg output perhaps. | 05:43 |
| Dr_Willis | could be so | 05:43 |
| Dr_Willis | me media player or video player. or somthing else. ive never seen it hapen but i rarely use dvd/cd | 05:43 |
| kalakj | Ghosthunter007: 0.0.12 | 05:43 |
| kalakj | Ghosthunter007: It is detecting modem properly , even IMEI and signal provider network code | 05:45 |
| kalakj | but USSD and SMS Not working | 05:45 |
| Ghosthunter007 | kalakj: there is version 0.0.16 to get it do the following, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linuxonly/modem+manager+gui | 05:46 |
| Ghosthunter007 | kalakj: then sudo apt-get update | 05:46 |
| delinquentme | I need a if shell script which will evaluate to true if I get a folder back from the command $ which rvm | 05:46 |
| delinquentme | if [ $(which rvm) ]; then << I thought this would do it ... but its not so! | 05:46 |
| Ghosthunter007 | kalakj: sudo apt-get install modem-manager-gui | 05:46 |
| Ghosthunter007 | it should get the newest version | 05:47 |
| Ghosthunter007 | kalakj: what is happening is your source in version 0.0.12 is outdated and you need the new source from version 0.0.16 | 05:47 |

| ss_haze | how do I access files on ubuntu, from windows 7 in virtual box? | 05:52 |
| njsg | ss_haze: virtualbox has a shared directories feature, you can use that | 05:54 |
| njsg | you could always try to somehow access and mount the windows disk image, but if you can use the virtualbox shared folders, it is easier | 05:54 |
| === stub` is now known as stub | ||
| njsg | on the linux/host side it should just point to a normal directory, on windows it will appear as a network share | 05:54 |
| geirha | delinquentme: You shouldn't use which for that. use type. if type rvm >/dev/null 2>&1; then printf 'rvm exists\n'; fi | 05:56 |
| ss_haze | nsjg tnx but it doesn't appear to open | 05:58 |
| ss_haze | in virtual box | 05:58 |
| Ghosthunter007 | delinquentme: if [ -a $file ] then echo "path/file/log" fi | 05:58 |
| geirha | Ghosthunter007: "" quotes around $file, and semicolon or newline before "then" and "fi" | 05:59 |

| subby1 | I have created a 100GB partition for Ubuntu. But during installations what do i choose "Install Ubuntu alongside Winddows" or "Shrink or resize volumes"....? I have already created 100Gb of unallocated space for Ubuntu.... | 06:28 |
| Dr_Willis | you want to use the customized partioning layout under the 'somthing else...' dialog/button i belive | 06:28 |
| Dr_Willis | and assign that 100gb to be / (root) of the type ext4 (normally) | 06:29 |
| Dr_Willis | you may also want tomake a swap partition | 06:29 |
| Dr_Willis | commonly done is to make a /home/ partition also | 06:29 |
| DJ_Unibob | I actually used the Install alongside windows when I made this install and it used the unallocated space for me. Might not work the same way for you though | 06:29 |
| Dr_Willis | if its unallocated - it should I think. if its in some other partion - it wont. | 06:30 |
| aeon-ltd | subby1: if you are ever going to use another linux install or reinstall frequently /home separation will save a lot of time later, also swap partitions can be shared, swap files cannot. so creating a swap partition will save file space long term if you multiboot linux distros | 06:31 |
| subby1 | Dr_Willis: So I will go for "Something else" even if I have created the 100GB already? | 06:31 |
| Dr_Willis | thats how i always install | 06:32 |
| DJ_Unibob | It's situational. I dual-boot ubuntu 13.04 and Windows 7 and I'm hoping this setup will work for quite a while. | 06:32 |
| Dr_Willis | my typical layout would be [windows partion, primary] [/ (root) partition Primary] [/home/ partition Primary] [swap partition] 4 partitions total | 06:33 |
| MestreLion | is there a way to ssh an account that has no password? (like the ubuntu user in a live session) | 06:34 |
| Dr_Willis | the live cd dosent have a ssh service installed. you could install it. then i think ssh in as the ubuntu user. | 06:35 |
| aeon-ltd | MestreLion: should do | 06:35 |
| aeon-ltd | quick and dirty though, it isn't too smart though | 06:35 |
| Dr_Willis | or just set the users password | 06:35 |
| MestreLion | Dr_Willis: I already installed openssh-server. And I can connect. But it asks for ubuntu@ubuntu's password | 06:35 |
| subby1 | Dr_Willis: Will it ask which OS to use everytime at restart.... if I choose "Something Else"? | 06:35 |
| MestreLion | and that account has no password | 06:36 |
| Dr_Willis | might be a ssh security setting to not allow it | 06:36 |
| Dr_Willis | subby1: of course.. its still installing the same. its just asking how you want to partion | 06:36 |
| subby1 | OK..... | 06:37 |

| spydon | How can I remove the splash screen during boot and see the boot procedure instead? The good old way to remove quiet and splash from grub doesn't seem to work anymore... http://askubuntu.com/questions/356100/show-boot-process-instead-of-splash | 06:37 |
| aeon-ltd | spydon: have you tried it directly from grub using 'e' | 06:38 |
| spydon | aeon-ltd: nope, but it should be the same? | 06:38 |
| aeon-ltd | should do, it's just you know for sure | 06:38 |

| === g_byers is now known as gbyers[Away] | ||
| MestreLion | Dr_Willis: aeon-ltd : yeah, setting a password for the ubuntu account worked | 06:40 |
| wilee-nilee | spydon, If you do it from the dektop you have to update-grub | 06:40 |
| spydon | wilee-nilee: yup, done that. | 06:42 |
| wilee-nilee | spydon, You perchance have more than one OS with grub and more than one HD? | 06:44 |
| spydon | wilee-nilee: nope, very simple setup, windows 7(pukes) and ubuntu in the grub entries | 06:45 |
| subby1 | Where do I install the /dev/sda or /dev/sdb | 06:45 |
| wilee-nilee | and you edited /etc/default/grub right? | 06:45 |
| spydon | wilee-nilee: yeah | 06:45 |
| subby1 | Where do I install the bootloader /dev/sda or /dev/sdb ? | 06:46 |
| wilee-nilee | spydon, two questions there yeah on which one? | 06:46 |
| wilee-nilee | Ah I see the grub default | 06:47 |
| theDudeknownasth | morning all. i got a question, is such a thing a task killer for ubuntu? something to knock out unnecessary background processes. | 06:47 |
| wilee-nilee | spydon, You modify grub in any way, that should work. | 06:47 |
| subby1 | Device for bootloader installation /dev/sda or /dev/sdb ? Win7 is in /dev/sda while the partition for Ubuntu is in /dev/sdb ...... So where do I install the bootloader? sda or sdb ? | 06:48 |
| wilee-nilee | subby1 sdb | 06:48 |
| spydon | wilee-nilee: I ran sudo vim /etc/default/grub && sudo update-grub | 06:48 |
| wilee-nilee | make sure sdb is read first in the bios | 06:48 |
| wilee-nilee | spydon From? | 06:49 |
| aeon-ltd | theDudeknownasth: yes, a lot | 06:49 |
| spydon | wilee-nilee: what do you mean from? | 06:49 |
| === skasturi_ is now known as Guest38717 | ||
| wilee-nilee | spydon, the install, a live cd? | 06:49 |
| spydon | wilee-nilee: no, from the install | 06:50 |
| wilee-nilee | spydon, This a server, can you use gedit? | 06:50 |
| spydon | Is the grub file even present on the live cd? | 06:50 |
| spydon | wilee-nilee: I can, but why would I? :P | 06:50 |
| wilee-nilee | spydon, Many will try to modify grub from a live cd without a chroot just checking. | 06:50 |
| theDudeknownasth | hmm like what? | 06:51 |
| aeon-ltd | theDudeknownasth: there is one included in the default install, i personally like htop, good if you like terminals | 06:51 |
| wilee-nilee | spydon, the vim or something seems to not be working is why I ask is all, as far as I know the quiet splash removed should give a text boot, although that environment is a bit different these days. | 06:52 |
| theDudeknownasth | i'm kinda new to this, forcing myself off win. | 06:52 |
| spydon | wilee-nilee: cat /etc/default/grub shows that it is removed | 06:52 |
| wilee-nilee | spydon, strange. | 06:53 |
| spydon | wilee-nilee: indeed! | 06:53 |
| spydon | wilee-nilee: thanks for your help anyways, I'll try scavenge the net a bit more for the problem! If you have a ask-ubuntu account you could vote up my question there to help me if you want to. ;) | 06:54 |
| wilee-nilee | spydon, I don't have an account, I would purge ad reload grub if it were me. | 06:55 |
| gordonjcp | theDudeknownasth: why do you want to "knock out" background processes? | 06:56 |
| wilee-nilee | theDudeknownasth, what background processes, thats a windows idea, linux runs fairly lean. | 06:56 |
| aeon-ltd | i wouldn't say unity is lean | 06:57 |
| theDudeknownasth | i'm running on a acer one netbook | 06:57 |
| njsg | theDudeknownasth: you can kill processes with kill (there are different signals, you'd want mostly SIGTERM and SIGKILL) | 06:57 |
| Ben64 | then run xubuntu or lubuntu | 06:57 |
| njsg | theDudeknownasth: but first of all check whether you really need to kill anything... | 06:57 |
| njsg | this is not exactly your average OEM windows on a laptop running three evaluation versions of norton antivirus with automatic update enabled | 06:57 |
| Ben64 | theres no reason to go around killing random processes | 06:57 |
| wilee-nilee | aeon-ltd, You miss the point. | 06:57 |
| subby1 | wilee-nilee: You there?? | 06:58 |
| wilee-nilee | yes | 06:58 |
| njsg | theDudeknownasth: if it seems slow or using too many resources, try a lighter graphical interface | 06:58 |
| theDudeknownasth | ok | 06:58 |
| njsg | theDudeknownasth: ubuntu by default uses some heavy DE, a simple window manager will be way lighter | 06:58 |
| gordonjcp | theDudeknownasth: unless you really know what you're doing, it's a bad idea to kill processes | 06:59 |
| vee_ | just noticed...when watching youtube videos on firefox, the quality keeps changing, and then finally crashes. why would it do that? | 06:59 |
| njsg | if you don't really need the DE part, just something to have windows, fluxbox is a typical example of "quite simple and light", if you need some DE with tools, then maybe xfce (although this one got quite bloated compared to way in the past) | 06:59 |
| wilee-nilee | subby1, what's up? | 06:59 |
| theDudeknownasth | sounds about right ^^ | 06:59 |
| gordonjcp | fluxbox is horrible and slow | 06:59 |
| njsg | gordonjcp: fluxbox is *slow*? | 07:00 |
| njsg | gordonjcp: you may have a really borked graphics system if you get that experience | 07:00 |
| gordonjcp | njsg: it's some clunky crap in there | 07:00 |
| gordonjcp | njsg: it doesn't even use Cairo | 07:00 |
| helmut_ | hi | 07:00 |
| njsg | gordonjcp: so your definition of "fast" is "uses cairo"? | 07:00 |
| subby1 | wilee-nilee: Where do i install the bootloader | 07:00 |
| subby1 | wilee-nilee: in sdb or sdb 1 or sdb 2 ? | 07:00 |
| gordonjcp | njsg: well, accelerated vectors, yes | 07:00 |
| wilee-nilee | subby1, I would go sdb if ubuntu is on the HD, it's not a slave drive right? | 07:01 |
| njsg | gordonjcp: you *need* specific graphics acceleration to draw some rectangles on the screen? | 07:01 |
| gordonjcp | njsg: fluxbox is nice and fast if you have a 20-year-old graphics card that exposes a plain framebuffer that X talks to | 07:01 |
| njsg | gordonjcp: it's up to programs whether they use any acceleration system | 07:01 |
| wilee-nilee | subby1, sdb is the mbr not a partition. | 07:01 |
| njsg | gordonjcp: fluxbox manages windows, just that | 07:01 |
| gordonjcp | njsg: why would you use the CPU to render primitives, when you've got a GPU? | 07:01 |
| njsg | whether programs use acceleration is up to programs, not to the window manager | 07:01 |
| njsg | theDudeknownasth: if you're constrained on resources, try using lighter tools in general; it depends a lot on your workflow, and you may have to change it a bit | 07:02 |
| wilee-nilee | subby1, You don't have a uefi setup right? | 07:02 |
| njsg | theDudeknownasth: for example, libreoffice may be a no go | 07:02 |
| gordonjcp | theDudeknownasth: what spec is your laptop? | 07:02 |
| subby1 | wilee-nilee: The partition for Ubuntu is in sdb .....but it is unallocated as of now, so it shows up as "free space" only.... | 07:02 |
| njsg | theDudeknownasth: replacing some heavy DE with fluxbox should already give you a far more responsive and lighter experience, but it really strips you of any DE tool | 07:02 |
| njsg | you can still use tools from other DEs, though | 07:02 |
| wilee-nilee | subby1, your on the first gui of the something other option correct? | 07:03 |
| subby1 | yes... wilee-nilee | 07:03 |
| theDudeknownasth | on windows i used wise care 365. actually game booster. then opened excel. | 07:04 |
| aeon-ltd | njsg: i think fluxbox will be too sparse for someone just moving to linux now, using lubuntu then will be close with openbox + lxpanel | 07:04 |
| njsg | aeon-ltd: why not using lxde on ubuntu? | 07:04 |
| aeon-ltd | :) close enough | 07:04 |
| njsg | aeon-ltd: also, whether it is too sparse or not totally depends on who is making the transition, that's like editor wars | 07:04 |
| wilee-nilee | subby1, Then make sure grub is pointed at sdb there and make the ubuntu partition a ext4 with / as the mount and install, leave a little room for the swap if needed at the least equal to the ram, slightly more is best, or make a swap as well. | 07:05 |
| subby1 | OK then sdb.... | 07:05 |
| wilee-nilee | subby1, Yeah sdb only the mbr. | 07:05 |
| theDudeknownasth | seemed to free up pc. thats why i was thinking if there was a similar process. i'm really enjoying libreoffice cant believe its free | 07:06 |
| gordonjcp | theDudeknownasth: what spec is your machine? | 07:07 |
| aeon-ltd | gordonjcp: it's a acer one netbook | 07:09 |
| gordonjcp | aeon-ltd: right, but what spec is it? | 07:09 |
| kttybyte | hello | 07:10 |
| kttybyte | anyone still awake? | 07:10 |
| njsg | gordonjcp: the same specs as an acer one netbook | 07:10 |
| spydon | kttybyte: this is the whole world, always somebody awake ;) | 07:10 |
| gordonjcp | kttybyte: it's first thing in the morning, I expect lots of people are awake | 07:10 |
| PaowZ_afk | spydon: true ! | 07:10 |
| njsg | gordonjcp: lol? morning where *you* are. | 07:10 |
| gordonjcp | njsg: there are about two dozen models | 07:10 |
| theDudeknownasth | 2 gb ddr2 intel atom 1. something | 07:10 |
| kttybyte | I'm working on this java thing: http://www.kittybyte.com/challenge | 07:11 |
| gordonjcp | theDudeknownasth: stick XFCE on it, if Unity seems too heavy | 07:11 |
| aeon-ltd | theDudeknownasth: hard drive? | 07:11 |
| kttybyte | anybody want to check it out? | 07:11 |
| gordonjcp | theDudeknownasth: stick another 2GB of RAM in it | 07:11 |
| buu | Speaking of things, why isn't anyone making a decent ultrabook at the moment | 07:11 |
| aeon-ltd | kttybyte: offtopic | 07:11 |
| gordonjcp | theDudeknownasth: RAM is cheap and will improve things massively | 07:11 |
| njsg | 2 gb of ram should be well enough, except maybe that firefox will make a fuss out of it sometimes | 07:11 |
| theDudeknownasth | i use it for writing up test sheets and messing about on company time | 07:11 |
| kttybyte | aeon-ltd: well, peripherally I was wondering if anyone could exploit it and get onto the ubuntu box it is sitting on | 07:11 |
| gordonjcp | theDudeknownasth: Unity is more memory-hungry than CPU-hungry, but requires fastish graphics | 07:12 |
| aeon-ltd | 2gb of mote ram is likely 10% the cost of the machine | 07:12 |
| aeon-ltd | *more | 07:12 |
| gordonjcp | aeon-ltd: depends on the model | 07:12 |
| gordonjcp | aeon-ltd: I just stuck 4GB in my elderly HP for about 15 quid per gig | 07:13 |

| coderhs | hey can we access the ubuntu notification api from a web app | 07:14 |
| coderhs | ? | 07:14 |
| theDudeknownasth | i think i can only go up to 2gig on this model, not sure if a ssd would work but then i may as well spend on a better piece tech | 07:14 |
| subby1 | wilee-nilee: Yeah only Ubuntu on this partition.... | 07:15 |
| aeon-ltd | that;s ok, i think having limitations make it easier to learn linux | 07:15 |
| buu | aeon-ltd: Sure | 07:15 |
| aeon-ltd | buu: then it will vary, but it's important to search for problems such as wifi, if it has switchable graphics, extra keys to see if other users have problems getting them working | 07:16 |
| wilee-nilee | subby1, If you do not intend to go more than 4 partitions use a primary. | 07:17 |
| === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away | ||
| aeon-ltd | theDudeknownasth: most of what i learned about linux was on a pentium 4 with 512 mb ram, the limits made me explore for lighter software to free up ram and processing power for things i couldn't substitute like firefox + flash | 07:18 |

| wilee-nilee | sdb* is what I meant | 07:21 |
| theDudeknownasth | thanks | 07:22 |

| aeon-ltd | buu: acer s7? samsung series 9? dell xps(es)? i don't know about compatibility and problems though | 07:23 |
| subby1 | wilee-nilee: sdb is completely empty. The sizes of the NTFS partitions on sdb are 598 GB and 698 GB and the other 100GB is unallocated...... I think I should go for logical when I format the unallocated.... | 07:24 |
| wilee-nilee | subby1, I would like to see a screen shot of sda and sdb to be honest now, you information is just not clear here. | 07:25 |

| duffduff | is there a command/quick way to list all the currently open bugs for a given package and distribution? | 07:33 |
| wilee-nilee | czardoz, lol why. | 07:34 |

| duffduff | (by distribution I mean, differing versions) | 07:34 |
| ariel__ | HI..room moderator.. | 07:34 |
| Dr_Willis | telling the dhcp server to rember ip>mac is bad? ,, | 07:34 |
| subby1 | wilee-nilee: Here you go http://imgur.com/a/7ZZT0 .................. I have 2 HDDs one 1 TB and the other 1.5TB | 07:34 |
| czardoz | wilee-nilee: what if I want one of my computers on one DNS and the other on a different one? | 07:34 |
| Dr_Willis | network manager lets you set a differnt dns server then what the router sends you | 07:35 |
| ariel__ | i wanna ask some about ubuntu proxy server squid..it's right channel here..?? | 07:35 |
| czardoz | Dr_Willis: yes, and that's the right way to do it | 07:35 |
| Dr_Willis | the resolv.conf stuff works as a cacheing dns server anyway. so i dont see any reason to assign one to a diffefnet dns server | 07:36 |
| wilee-nilee | czardoz, Then you would do it in Ubuntu, you did not say you wanted to do that, its not intrisically bad to do this in the router, however as you say you "might want to do then use ubuntu. | 07:36 |
| ariel__ | i wanna ask some about ubuntu proxy server squid..it's right channel here..?? | 07:36 |
| Dr_Willis | czardoz: err.. i dont get what you are getting at either.. dhcp server hands out the info. the clients can ignore it.. | 07:36 |
| Dr_Willis | ariel__: yes. | 07:36 |
| Dr_Willis | cant recall seeing any routers that assign DNS servers based on mac. ;) just ip's | 07:37 |
| wilee-nilee | subby1, That is not gparted. If you hae 3 partitions on the sdb, then you need a extended partition for ubuntu to be in a logical inside it, with a swap in the extended as well. Does this make sense, do you understand? | 07:37 |
| czardoz | wilee-nilee: If things can be configured for a particular machine, it's best to do that, that's all I'm saying | 07:37 |
| luminous | ariel__: don't ask to ask, just ask | 07:37 |
| wilee-nilee | czardoz, I would fully disagree, but it does not really matter. | 07:37 |
| czardoz | it doesn't indeed | 07:37 |
| ihre | czardoz: http://raamdev.com/2009/configuring-static-dns-with-dhcp-on-debianubuntu/ ? | 07:37 |
| wilee-nilee | best is a subjective anyway | 07:38 |
| ariel__ | Dr_Willis, tell me pls what should be topologi to make ubuntu server proxy squid ..?? | 07:38 |
| ariel__ | my plans ISP-->MODEM-->UBUNTU S>ERVER--SWITCH/HUB--->Client | 07:39 |
| wilee-nilee | czardoz, For example I use opendns, so my router is set to those IP, so all my computers go through it. | 07:39 |
| Dr_Willis | ariel__: huh? id suggest reading some of the squid guides on using squid | 07:39 |
| ariel__ | for internet cafe | 07:39 |
| subby1 | wilee-nilee: So my next step would be to make an Extended partition? | 07:39 |
| Dr_Willis | squid cach machine could be anywhere on the network | 07:39 |
| czardoz | wilee-nilee: yes. for me, I want one computer to use my own DNS and another to use 8.8.8.8, so I prefer configuring individual machines | 07:40 |
| wilee-nilee | subby1, If you are still unallocated yes make a extended filling that space then the logical for ubuntu and a swap inside of the extendd. | 07:40 |
| czardoz | anyway, to each his own, thanks :) | 07:40 |
| czardoz | ihre: that helps, thanks! | 07:40 |
| ihre | czardoz: supersede domain-name-servers 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220; | 07:40 |
| wilee-nilee | czardoz, Yeah, we both make sense, lol. ;) | 07:40 |
| subby1 | wilee-nilee: How do i make the extended.... | 07:42 |
| luminous | anyone familiar enough with PPA to know how to look up the user/archive assocaited with the mongodb keyid? | 07:42 |
| wilee-nilee | subby1, I think you have that option in the something else gui, you can do all of this in gparted and still use the somethiong else option to set the ubuntu partition as mounted with / | 07:43 |
| wilee-nilee | subby1, If you use gparted close the installer first then start it again after the partitions are built i gparted. | 07:44 |
| wilee-nilee | in* | 07:44 |
| ihre | luminous: I still dont quite get your question, but what about the original github acc of mongodb? https://github.com/mongodb/mongo | 07:45 |

| cbaafk | hello | 07:50 |
| cbaafk | what's the best tool to diagnose errors and restore system ? | 07:51 |
| Dr_Willis | !backup | 07:52 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 07:52 |
| cbaafk | Dr_Willis: I'm not asking about backup. please read the question. | 07:54 |
| cbaafk | what's the best tool to diagnose errors and restore system | 07:54 |
| Dr_Willis | you restore from backups. | 07:54 |
| cbaafk | ie. I have a busted system. no backups. I want to diagnose errors, see what went wrong. hopefully fix it | 07:54 |
| Dr_Willis | there is no single tool to just fix vague 'it dont work' problems. | 07:54 |
| wilee-nilee | cbaafk, Your question is to vague, there is no over arching tool that will fix any problem and restore your install. | 07:55 |
| Dr_Willis | tell the channel whats not working and we can suggest a path to follow | 07:55 |
| cbaafk | it's hardly vague. I got a bsod, with 'kernel bug' after which the system won't start, black screen. no startup utils work. | 07:55 |
| Dr_Willis | NOW you are givieng details. | 07:55 |
| gordonjcp | details that don't make sense though | 07:56 |
| wafflejock | does linux have a bsod | 07:56 |
| gordonjcp | no, it does not | 07:56 |
| cbaafk | it does | 07:56 |
| Dr_Willis | it has a BSOD screensaver. ;) | 07:56 |
| cbaafk | it sure as hell does. only it's black, not blue | 07:56 |
| wilee-nilee | cbaafk, You came here for help, if you are going to act indignant you will not get much help. | 07:56 |
| wafflejock | right | 07:56 |
| gordonjcp | cbaafk: "busted system" could mean it had a forklift run over it | 07:56 |
| cbaafk | but the abbreviation is still the same Bsod | 07:56 |
| cbaafk | :() | 07:56 |
| wafflejock | okay fair enough | 07:56 |
| wafflejock | so you have no boot loader anymore? | 07:56 |
| wafflejock | nothing after boot? | 07:57 |
| gordonjcp | cbaafk: you'd be surprised how often that happens | 07:57 |
| wafflejock | bios is still showing though? | 07:57 |
| cbaafk | got grub, but can't do anything other than a memtest in it | 07:57 |
| Dr_Willis | you did try the older kernels? | 07:57 |
| cbaafk | which went fine btw | 07:57 |
| wafflejock | what happens when you try to launch OSes? | 07:57 |
| cbaafk | yes. windows | 07:57 |
| cbaafk | :) | 07:57 |
| cbaafk | windows works fine | 07:57 |
| cbaafk | nvm I'll just read the logs maybe it's in there.. | 07:58 |
| cbaafk | just curious what happened, the system just died on me for no apparent reason | 07:58 |
| Dr_Willis | ive seen windows 'seem' to work fine with flakey hardware because it tends to crash so much, you dont notice the extra crashing | 07:58 |
| Dr_Willis | without specific error messages - we cant even begin to guess | 07:58 |
| gordonjcp | cbaafk: run memtest86 | 07:58 |
| cbaafk | should this be in system log? | 07:58 |
| Dr_Willis | and a memtest really should run for a rather long time. | 07:58 |
| gordonjcp | cbaafk: if it just keeled over with no error messages, that sounds like flaky hardware | 07:59 |
| Dr_Willis | if the kernel crashes. the system really cant write to the log file after the crash | 07:59 |
| wilee-nilee | bsod smells like a wubi | 08:00 |
| Dr_Willis | ssh in and monitor dmesg and logs and you might catch somtning as it crashes | 08:00 |
| crocket | hi | 08:01 |
| cbaafk | gordonjcp: Dr_Willis : nah, here's the log. http://paste.ubuntu.com/6217075/ | 08:02 |
| crocket | ss in iproute ignores filters. | 08:03 |
| crocket | 'ss -apn sport = :8080' prints out all sockets. | 08:03 |
| crocket | It seems to be ubuntu issue. | 08:03 |
| cbaafk | I can paste the whole thing if you want | 08:03 |
| ArielX_ | good morning people.. please see... http://paste.ubuntu.com/6217078/ how to resolve this issue? | 08:04 |
| Dr_Willis | ArielX_: at least summarize the issue for people to know if they have a remote idea of the problem/area of expertise | 08:05 |
| ArielX_ | Dr_Willis.. i dont understand you | 08:05 |
| gordonjcp | cbaafk: that's the very start of dmesg | 08:05 |
| gordonjcp | cbaafk: all of that looks pretty normal | 08:05 |
| Dr_Willis | ArielX_: summarize the problem. dont expect people to go to a URL to discover theyhave NO idea how to fix the issue. | 08:05 |
| cbaafk | gordonjcp: here's the full thing hf : http://paste.ubuntu.com/6217087/ | 08:06 |
| wilee-nilee | ArielX_, Install leafpad and try it instead of gedit and use gksudo | 08:06 |
| ActionParsnip | leafpad rocks | 08:06 |
| cbaafk | anyway, I was looking for something along the lines of... system diagnostics, disk disagnostics, you know that kind of thing | 08:06 |
| ArielX_ | I only did sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and then many errors returned on terminal hence I show the link | 08:07 |
| cbaafk | maybe scan everything see if it can be revived without new install etc.. | 08:07 |

| user258467 | Dr_Willis, does this mean install another server? | 08:11 |
| Dr_Willis | sshfs uses ssh | 08:12 |
| Dr_Willis | or mount the remote directoryu some other way like samba. or nfs. or use a dlna/upnp server | 08:12 |
| user258467 | Dr_Willis, sshfs is wonderful | 08:14 |
| ArielX_ | thanks worked... how do I remove a user from group sudo | 08:14 |
| Dr_Willis | sshfs is very handy | 08:14 |

| Dr_Willis | thats so 1999 ;) | 08:25 |
| jago25_99 | Is there a way to avoid running make and ./configure again after relising that --prefix=/usr should have been set (defaulted to /usr/local and now isn't overwtiting the .deb on the system) | 08:30 |
| hobarey | run ./configure again.. then make | 08:31 |
| Dr_Willis | actually if you just change the prefix i thoight the commands would only recompile any code that had changed. not everything | 08:31 |
| Dr_Willis | so it shouldent take much time | 08:31 |
| delinquentme_ | move all files named run_01 .. run_20 to fwIter_01 ... fwIter_20 | 08:33 |
| Dr_Willis | one way. use qmv, and a simple edit in a text editor. ;) | 08:34 |
| fishcooker | how to share the same desktop monitor with other user? i am running openbox session. | 08:34 |
| Dr_Willis | or do some bash script. | 08:34 |
| Dr_Willis | fishcooker: you mean let them see your current desktop from a differnt machune? | 08:35 |
| fishcooker | yes you are right | 08:35 |
| Dr_Willis | vnc, x11vnc, teamviewer | 08:36 |
| Dr_Willis | local network? or over the internet? | 08:36 |
| fishcooker | locally .. i've seen tighvnc but https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-setup-vnc-for-ubuntu-12 | 08:37 |
| fishcooker | is it the right choice | 08:37 |
| Dr_Willis | a normal vnc server does NOT share the 'current visible desktop' | 08:37 |
| Dr_Willis | x11vnc or teamviewer can | 08:37 |
| Dr_Willis | you could make a 2nd desktop that you both could access thts shared if you wanted. | 08:38 |
| Dr_Willis | using the normal vnc servers | 08:38 |
| buu | fishcooker: I use x11vnc + vncviewer | 08:38 |
| buu | It isn't terribly efficient but works well | 08:38 |
| buu | And there's essentially zero setup | 08:39 |

| Micky | what could be | 08:43 |
| Micky | ? | 08:43 |
| Dr_Willis | sudo service httpd restart (or whatever service it is) should give some info in the logs. | 08:43 |

| Micky | desktop | 08:46 |
| knut_ | Myrtthi, I want to update some /etc file content | 08:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Micky: so check the apache logs in /var/log and look for any errors | 08:47 |
| Myrtti | knut_: you don't need to put sudo in .bashrc for that | 08:47 |
| Dr_Willis | knut_: every time you start a shell? that would be weird | 08:47 |
| knut_ | Myrtti: Thx!! | 08:47 |
| Myrtti | there's other ways, if you'd actually tell what you want to do, we could help better | 08:48 |
| knut_ | Dr_Willis, I want it to happen on login. damn, good thing you got me there. :) | 08:48 |
| Dr_Willis | knut_: at System boot - /etc/rc.local | 08:49 |
| Dr_Willis | graphical login - script in ~/.config/autostart/ | 08:49 |
| knut_ | Myrtti, i have an obscure ibm db issue where the db users are listed in the login window. I want the users removed form passwd when Im not logged in. | 08:49 |
| knut_ | Dr_Willis, I don't want it to happen at system start, but only when I am logged in. :) so a unity users login file perhaps? | 08:49 |

| Twenty-three | hi guys, i have an nvidia card and i use raring. in order to avoid the recent issues with nvia drivers i opted to try bumblebee. however, upon installation of bumblebee now i'm locked on a 1024 resolution and the only other option is lower resolution, how can i fix this? | 09:01 |
| jago25_99 | Twenty-three, tried messing with /etc/X11/xorg.conf yet? | 09:02 |
| ActionParsnip | keo7: http://www.canonical.com/about-canonical/contact | 09:03 |
| Twenty-three | jago25_99, based on what i could find in google someone with the same problem claimed to have solved it by deleting xorg.conf, i was not able to do the same because xorg.conf was missing | 09:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Micky: looks fine | 09:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Micky: there are very few lines so its not very useful | 09:04 |
| jago25_99 | Twenty-three, try booting to cli mode and "X -reconfigure" | 09:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Micky: what is the problem? | 09:04 |
| Micky | ok | 09:04 |
| Micky | LXDE doesn't start | 09:05 |
| jago25_99 | Micky, so you're thinking you got a AGP/GPU problem right? | 09:05 |
| Twenty-three | jago25_99: i'm not familiar with "booting to cli", would you mind elaborating? | 09:05 |
| Micky | no | 09:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Micky: what happens when you bootup? | 09:05 |
| Micky | I don't know what could be the problem | 09:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Micky: do you get the login screen? | 09:05 |
| jago25_99 | Twenty-three, rescue mode at grub | 09:05 |
| Micky | the system stops the bootup after Apache service running | 09:06 |
| jago25_99 | Twenty-three, or at least, find a way to stop X. could also try "service gdm stop" too | 09:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Micky: what video chip do you use? | 09:06 |
| Micky | now I'm verifying that is possible to access to the machine via SSH | 09:06 |
| tilerendering | hi - gksu/gksudo doesnt prompt me for a password - what´s wrong ? | 09:06 |
| jago25_99 | Apache and a GPU on the same system... hmm... | 09:07 |

| Twenty-three | jago25_99: i see, i'll try that and then i'll come back, thanks a lot | 09:07 |
| ActionParsnip | tilerendering: if you used it previously then you are in a grace period | 09:07 |
| Micky | it's a dell server | 09:07 |
| wilee-nilee | tilerendering, what actually happens? | 09:07 |

| foofoobar | Hi, I just got a new notebook with ubuntu 12.04 pre-installed (dell xps 13 developer). Now I notice that in irregular time intervals I loose my internet connection | 09:07 |
| foofoobar | The wireless connection is still alive | 09:07 |
| foofoobar | but when I do a ping, I get a "destination host unreachable" | 09:07 |
| ActionParsnip | foofoobar: when it drops, run: dmesg | tail -n 10 for clues | 09:08 |
| Micky | VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI ES1000 (rev 02) | 09:08 |
| ActionParsnip | foofoobar: also check there are not lots of wifi networks on the same channel. You can do this with: sudo iwlist scan | 09:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Micky: ok and the output of: lsb_release -sc | 09:08 |
| Micky | but now i notice that it displays "HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for /dev/sda" | 09:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Micky: try the bootoption: radeon.blacklist=1 | 09:09 |
| foofoobar | ActionParsnip, there are a lot of [ 8727.630309] type=1701 audit(1381396002.546:1329): auid=4294967295 uid=1001 gid=1001 ses=4294967295 pid=21150 comm="chrome" reason="seccomp" sig=0 syscall=2 compat=0 ip=0x7f1e150e56c0 code=0x50001 | 09:09 |
| Micky | lsb_release -sc = precise | 09:09 |
| ActionParsnip | foofoobar: ok, see what that means online | 09:10 |
| foofoobar | ActionParsnip, It's just the kernel logging audit events of seccomp from Chrome's sandbox | 09:11 |
| foofoobar | So I dont think it is related to the network problems | 09:11 |

| Micky | my problem is that LXDE UI doesn't start | 09:33 |

| Micky | I'm searching | 09:35 |
| Micky | but is very difficult to explain what problem is | 09:35 |
| Micky | because the system goes up but it doesn't run the LXDE environment | 09:35 |
| Micky | there's a log also for the desktop manager ? | 09:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Micky: but you havethe error to search for, also make sure the BIOS is up to date and that the drives are detecting correctly | 09:36 |

| Dai_1987 | goku123: shrinking partitions shouldn't lose data but increasing the size of c: can't be done by windows, you need to get a third party partitioning tool | 10:33 |
| goku123 | Dai_1987: can u name some third party partitioning tools | 10:34 |
| Dai_1987 | goku123: actually, im not sure it's possible to spread a partition over two physical drives | 10:34 |
| Dai_1987 | goku123: nvm, misread | 10:35 |
| Dai_1987 | goku123: you might be able to get gparted for windows, that'll do it | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | goku123: Windows7 can shrink its own partitions | 10:35 |
| Dai_1987 | i rememeber using some tool once... shareware i think, can't rememebr the name | 10:35 |
| Dai_1987 | ActionParsnip: it can shrink them, but it can't increase the size of c: | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Dai_1987: sure it can | 10:36 |

| OnceMe | how can I have two IP ranges? I have ifcfg-eth0-range0 and IP_ADDR_START=** and END IP. However ifcfg-eth0-range1 brings me an error. I tried to make eth1, but no success | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | OnceMe: you can make sub-interfaces | 10:37 |
| OnceMe | ActionParsnip:how? | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | OnceMe: or 2 physical interfaces n 2 different subnets | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | OnceMe: udo ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.50.1 netmask 255.255.255.0; sudo ifconfig eth0:0 up | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | OnceMe: udo/sudo | 10:38 |
| OnceMe | but the thing is I have range of IP's | 10:39 |
| foofoobar | ActionParsnip, as far as I can tell the nohwcrypt option fixed it, but I want to make sure it was this | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | OnceMe: you will then have eth0 on whatever, and eth0:0 on 192.168.50.1 | 10:39 |
| foofoobar | so I want to re-enable the nohwcrypt, how? By simply moving the file? | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | foofoobar: run it a while | 10:39 |
| OnceMe | I already have eth0 | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | OnceMe: yes and the command makes a subinterface eth0:0 | 10:39 |
| OnceMe | I have ifcfg-lo | 10:40 |
| OnceMe | where is subnet etc | 10:40 |
| ihre | OnceMe: you add eth0:0 as a virtual nic/alias for eth0. Isnt ifcfg-lo/ifcfg-eth0 RH based by the way? | 10:40 |
| foofoobar | ActionParsnip, it's running since 1:30h | 10:41 |
| OnceMe | yes it is | 10:41 |
| ihre | OnceMe: shouldnt you ask for support in another channel then? ie #centos | 10:42 |

| foofoobar | ActionParsnip, I have also some confusion about the fan control. I keep watching the cpu temp, and if my notebook is on battery or charger, the temp does not change | 10:53 |
| oskar | fuck you | 10:53 |
| foofoobar | however, when I plug in the charger, the fan starts spinning | 10:53 |
| lawl | I have problem with booting to lightdm, on boot it goes from grub2 -> tty1. I'm running Ubuntu version 13.04. When I boot I get into tty1 login screen. | 10:53 |
| foofoobar | but the cpu temp keeps the same | 10:53 |
| lawl | boot.log... * Stopping GNOME Display Manager [OK] | 10:54 |
| k1l | lawl: look into syslog and dmesg what is going wrong there | 10:55 |
| gartral | foofoobar: i don't see how battery versus mains power would affect the temp of your cpu.. how hot does it say it's getting? | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | foofoobar: are there known issues with your make and model system? | 10:57 |
| BluesKaj | lawl, what's the error with , sudo service lightdm start ? | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | foofoobar: do you have the latest BIOS if your system uses one | 10:57 |
| foofoobar | gartral, it is not affecting it, but pluging the power affects the fan speed | 10:57 |
| foofoobar | ActionParsnip, yes | 10:57 |
| foofoobar | I have the latest BIOS | 10:57 |
| lawl | K1l, thanks im looking at the moment.. | 10:57 |
| foofoobar | ActionParsnip, what do you mean by "make and model system" ? | 10:58 |
| lawl | BluesKaj it says, lightdm start/running, process 2936 | 10:58 |
| gartral | foofoobar: ahh i see now, so your more worried about the fact that temps don't go down after a minute or so of being on mains! | 10:58 |
| foofoobar | I read there were problems with this notebook model and BIOS with version below A03 | 10:58 |
| faugusztin | foofoobar: isn't your CPU governor changing when pluggin the adapter ? | 10:58 |
| foofoobar | but i'm at A09 | 10:58 |
| foofoobar | gartral, no I'm annoyed why the fan starts spinning | 10:58 |
| foofoobar | it's a sound which is a bit annoying | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | foofoobar: is it a Dell? Is it a Toshiba? | 10:59 |
| foofoobar | faugusztin, this may be, but why should the fan start spinning when I plug in the charger? | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | foofoobar: is it a home build PC? | 10:59 |
| foofoobar | ActionParsnip, Dell XPS 13 Developer | 10:59 |
| BluesKaj | lawl, have you tried startx ? | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | foofoobar: then taht is the make and model, as I asked... | 10:59 |
| foofoobar | ActionParsnip, http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/xps-13-linux/pd | 10:59 |
| foofoobar | ah, okay | 10:59 |
| gartral | foofoobar: well it's likely as faugusztin said, the cpu governer is probably changing when you go from battery to mains | 10:59 |
| foofoobar | gartral, is this a software or hardware related thing? | 11:00 |
| k1l | lawl: without any errormessage we cant really help. | 11:00 |
| lawl | BluesKaj, yes. it gives me following message: /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc: 3: exec: /usr/bin/X: not found | 11:00 |
| lawl | xinit: giving up | 11:00 |

| lawl | k1l, okey hangon one minute. | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | foofoobar: http://askubuntu.com/questions/226450/dell-xps-15z-fan-issue-in-ubuntu-12-04 | 11:01 |
| gartral | foofoobar: bit of both, while the governer limits the throttle of the cpu more restrictively on battery, keeping it cooler, when you switch to mains it releases that throttle and the cpu will run faster.. you can install a governer control widget or app to tray and force into different states | 11:02 |
| BluesKaj | lawl, what graphics ? | 11:02 |
| eslu | anyone with expertiece in object-oriented programming? got some troubles, so i came here for hope. | 11:02 |

| Dai_1987 | eslu: try a programming channel | 11:03 |
| foofoobar | gartral, can you give me a name of such a governor control application? | 11:03 |
| foofoobar | ActionParsnip, thanks. It's not the same model, but maybe I try the "noapic" thing | 11:03 |
| eslu | Dai_1987, and what is the name of such a channel? | 11:03 |
| Dai_1987 | eslu: no idea, what language are you using? | 11:03 |

| k1l | lawl: what ubuntu is this? | 11:04 |
| foofoobar | ActionParsnip, so eactivating apic will decrease my power performance, correct? | 11:04 |
| k1l | lawl: did it work before? what changed? | 11:04 |
| gartral | foofoobar: i'll warn you, without apic you'll likely hear that fan *all* the time | 11:04 |
| foofoobar | gartral, oh, ok | 11:04 |
| foofoobar | so this is not the way to go :D | 11:04 |

| gartral | foofoobar: it's not set in stone, different computers react differently to the noapic flag, it's worth testing, but likely the CPU will run at max speed all the time | 11:05 |
| foofoobar | k1l, I want less fan spinning | 11:05 |
| foofoobar | the power is okay for me | 11:05 |
| gartral | k1l: his fan is irritating him | 11:06 |
| geirha | lawl: Install the package named ubuntu-desktop | 11:06 |
| lawl | k1l, dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6217535/ syslog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6217538/ | 11:06 |
| foofoobar | I have the notebook plugged in most of the time, so it's okay if the battery does not last that long | 11:06 |
| Touhou11 | I suggest a CPU with passive cooling, such as an ARM or Via chip | 11:06 |
| foofoobar | hardware replacement is currently not an option ;) | 11:06 |
| lawl | K1l, Ubuntu 13.04 .. I upgraded from 12.04LTS -> 12.10 .. then upgraded via tty1 from 12.10 to 13.04 | 11:07 |
| foofoobar | What is a "normal" cpu temp ? | 11:08 |
| lawl | K1l, lightdm graphics was working in 12.04 then from 12.10 it was only tty1 | 11:08 |
| k1l | lawl: and what desktop is it? unity? any PPAs on? | 11:08 |
| foofoobar | Mine is between 50° - 60° when doing basic stuff like irc/web/etc | 11:08 |
| gartral | foofoobar: for laptops, between 40-60C depending on model, air temp and usage | 11:08 |
| foofoobar | (celsius) | 11:08 |
| gartral | foofoobar: that's a little in the high side | 11:09 |
| lawl | K1l, how can I see that? sorry im noob | 11:09 |
| foofoobar | gartral, so thats not good | 11:09 |
| gartral | foofoobar: I would honestly suggest buying a cooler plate that has 1-2 120mm fans in it.. they're usually cheap enough and that will certainly kill a few birds with one stone | 11:10 |
| foofoobar | gartral, I'm a bit confused because the temp just switches between 4 values. 39°, 40°, 50° and 60°, there are no values between this | 11:10 |
| geirha | lawl: The ubuntu-desktop package has probably been uninstalled at some point | 11:10 |
| lawl | geirha: installing ubuntu-desktop and rebooting right now.. | 11:11 |
| gartral | foofoobar: that may very well be due to a bad configuration in sensors (software) or you're system has screwball thermal sensors (hardware) | 11:11 |
| foofoobar | gartral, okay | 11:12 |
| foofoobar | so what can I do ? | 11:12 |
| foofoobar | *should | 11:12 |
| BluesKaj | geirha, that's starange , why would the desktop uninstall ? | 11:12 |
| lawl | gierha, k1l: I've installed ubuntu-desktop and now get to the lightdm loginscreen thanks! | 11:13 |
| lawl | gierha, k1l: tho, when I try to login, I get put back to the login-screen again! | 11:13 |
| gartral | foofoobar: try installing lm-sensors and sensor-applet | 11:13 |
| k1l | lawl: please show the ".xsessions-errors" from that users home | 11:13 |
| gartral | foofoobar: sensors-applet | 11:14 |
| k1l | lawl: and controll if the .Xauthority file in the users home belongs to your user and not root:root | 11:14 |
| foofoobar | lm-sensors already installed, sensors-applet is not found | 11:14 |
| geirha | BluesKaj: If you uninstall one of the graphical packages that's installed by default, ubuntu-desktop will get uninstalled | 11:14 |
| === sintrixx1 is now known as sintrixx | ||
| foofoobar | gartral, should I follow this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto ? | 11:16 |
| geirha | and if ubuntu-desktop is not installed when you do a release upgrade, you won't get any new packages the new version of ubuntu-desktop depend on | 11:16 |
| BluesKaj | germanstudent, ok , thought just KDE had that problem :) | 11:16 |
| BluesKaj | oops geirha ^ | 11:16 |
| Touhou11 | I thought ubuntu-desktop was just a meta-package without proper dependencies | 11:17 |
| lawl | K1l, changing ownership from root to user on the file worked, thanks!! | 11:17 |
| gartral | foofoobar: yea, that's safe.. and it'll tell you exactly what's going on | 11:18 |
| lawl | K1l, geirha, Thanks alot for the support! I should buy you a beer! ;) | 11:18 |
| k1l | lawl: that happens when you misuse sudo for grafical programs or use startx | 11:18 |
| gartral | lawl: mmmm, beer! | 11:18 |
| faugusztin | foofoobar: do this when not connected to adapter, and when connected : step 1) sudo -s step 2) for cpu in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor; do cat $cpu; done | 11:19 |
| faugusztin | foofoobar: they should display powersave when not connected and probably ondemand when connected | 11:20 |
| tilerendering | errm - changing the password for a user while being admin/su, without knowing the previous password --> how ? | 11:20 |
| === pal is now known as Guest46893 | ||
| foofoobar | faugusztin, I disconnected the power plug and ran the command | 11:20 |
| foofoobar | I get "ondemand" echo'd for 4 times | 11:20 |
| foofoobar | when connected, I also get "ondemand" | 11:21 |
| faugusztin | foofoobar: so it is not the power governor then in linux, that means it is simply a choice inside the BIOS logic unfortunately, which you cannot change | 11:22 |
| foofoobar | ok | 11:22 |
| faugusztin | foofoobar: the only thing you can do is limit heat, that means use powersave governor, but that will limit the perfromance | 11:23 |
| faugusztin | because it will run your CPU on minimum clock possible | 11:23 |
| linu | hi i have installed eclipse on my ubunt12.04 64 bit,when i click the eclipse icon it prompt a window that shows http://pastebin.com/bejJAzaA can you tell me what is that issues | 11:23 |
| foofoobar | faugusztin, okay | 11:25 |
| foofoobar | so first I'm trying to fix the sesonrs thing so I have better look over my cpu temp | 11:26 |
| foofoobar | http://pastebin.com/5H4ancgh | 11:27 |
| jon8 | I'm looking to setup a VM installation of Ubuntu on my Windows PC so that I can have someplace to write and test PHP code with MySQL support. Should I install Ubuntu Server or Ubuntu Desktop? | 11:27 |
| foofoobar | This is my `sensors` output, it's still just switching between 39, 49,50,59,60 | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | jon8: if you are new to the OS then I suggest desktop | 11:28 |
| jon8 | ActionParsnip, Ok, thank you. | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | jon8: Lubuntu is light and breezy and will impact the host less | 11:28 |
| mehdi | can somebuddy get me remaster .deb? due to embargo i cant get that | 11:28 |
| kostkon | foofoobar, is it new hardware? | 11:28 |
| Uragan | hi | 11:29 |
| foofoobar | kostkon, yes | 11:29 |
| foofoobar | kostkon, a new dell xps 13 | 11:29 |
| kostkon | foofoobar, then you need to be aware of this http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTQ3MDE | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | mehdi: will uck not do it? | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | !info uck | 11:29 |
| ubottu | uck (source: uck): Tool to customize official Ubuntu Live CDs. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.4.6-0ubuntu1 (raring), package size 187 kB, installed size 420 kB | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | mehdi: http://fabrizioballiano.net/2007/11/27/remastering-an-ubuntu-alternate-iso-with-ubuntu-customization-kit-the-complete-guide/ | 11:30 |
| jon8 | ActionParsnip, Thank you for the suggestion, I'm fine with using normal Ubuntu. | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | mehdi: http://www.filewatcher.com/m/oem-config-remaster_2.4.8_all.deb.113504-0.html maybe? | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | jon8: it uses more resources, thats why I suggest Lubuntu as it will cause less strain on the host | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | jon8: your call :) | 11:31 |
| jon8 | ActionParsnip, Lubuntu it is then. | 11:31 |
| jon8 | ActionParsnip, I'm just in need of something that can run Apache and MySQL in a linux environment for a proper development environment so deployment is easy. ;) | 11:32 |
| jon8 | ActionParsnip, grabbing Lubuntu now.. Thank you for your suggestions. One last quick question.. is support for Lubuntu here? or in another channel? | 11:32 |
| mehdi | ActionParsnip, uck? is it a package for installation? | 11:33 |
| ActionParsnip | jon8: yes its here, sadly lubuntu 12.04 isnt LTS but Lubuntu 14.04 is :) | 11:33 |
| foofoobar | kostkon, so what does this mean to me? Should I remove the coretemp mod from my modules conf? | 11:33 |
| foofoobar | it was inserted by sensors-detect | 11:33 |
| ActionParsnip | mehdi: yes, see ubottu's output# | 11:33 |
| kostkon | foofoobar, you said about sensors? have you used or planned to use lmsensors? | 11:33 |
| Finkelstein | i tried Lubuntu. it is very simple | 11:34 |
| jon8 | ActionParsnip, I could only find a download link for Lubuntu 13.04.. I'll have to recheck. Thanks for the heads up. | 11:34 |
| Finkelstein | has sum it first | 11:34 |
| faugusztin | linu: just a wild guess - 32-bit eclipse vs 64-bit JDK, or vice versa ? | 11:35 |
| mehdi | ubottu, what is uck | 11:35 |
| ubottu | I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 11:35 |
| mehdi | ubottu, uck? | 11:35 |
| ubottu | mehdi: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | !uck | mehdi | 11:35 |
| ubottu | mehdi: uck is a tool that helps you customise official Ubuntu Live CDs (including Kubuntu/Xubuntu and Edubuntu) to your needs. See http://uck.sourceforge.net/ | 11:35 |
| Uragan | can help me? i need to switchoff display blanking on ubuntu serv 12.04. xset helpfull untill reboot..but i need my screen working all time. | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Uragan: i'd ask in #ubuntu-server too | 11:36 |
| kostkon | foofoobar, oh sensors utility is in lmsensors package so you already did. | 11:36 |
| Uragan | thx | 11:37 |
| foofoobar | kostkon, I did this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto | 11:38 |
| foofoobar | so the "coretemp" mod is loaded (i can see it under lsmod) | 11:38 |
| kostkon | foofoobar, yeah the lmsensors how-to | 11:38 |
| foofoobar | kostkon, the link you gave me said there a problems with this sensors thing | 11:39 |
| foofoobar | so should I unload the module now? | 11:39 |
| kostkon | foofoobar, too late now :P you ran sensors-detect | 11:40 |
| foofoobar | :/ | 11:40 |
| foofoobar | But I have no display problems | 11:41 |
| kostkon | foofoobar, just keep an eye on any strange symptoms from now on | 11:41 |
| kostkon | for* | 11:41 |
| foofoobar | ok | 11:41 |
| foofoobar | so no need to display it now? | 11:41 |
| linu | faugusztin, you right i have installed 64 bit jdk but 32 bit eclipse eclipse-jee-juno-SR2-linux-gtk.tar.gz,is it possible to upgrade from existing eclipse to 64 bit or something any other solution | 11:41 |
| faugusztin | linu: just download the 64-bit eclipse and replace it, you will have to redownload the plugins if needed, but that is about all of it | 11:42 |
| mehdi | ActionParsnip, is ubuntu customizer kit works for other ubuntu-based disrtos? | 11:42 |
| faugusztin | linu: or install a 32-bit JDK (not sure if possible) | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip | mehdi: i'd imagine so | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip | mehdi: not 100% sure | 11:42 |
| kostkon | foofoobar, do anything you like. my job is done. i warned you about lsmsensors and that's it :P | 11:42 |
| linu | faugusztin, better i can go for 64-bit eclipse | 11:43 |
| foofoobar | kostkon, I think I remove the coretemp mod to be safe | 11:43 |
| foofoobar | I dont want any hardware issues | 11:43 |
| kostkon | foofoobar, you have already run the sensors-detect so there's no point to worry much now | 11:43 |
| foofoobar | ok | 11:44 |
| kostkon | foofoobar, no, it's safe | 11:44 |
| foofoobar | all right | 11:44 |
| mehdi | ActionParsnip, ok i will test it | 11:44 |
| foofoobar | but if you look at my output of sensors, there is something not correct, right? | 11:44 |
| kostkon | foofoobar, hmm isa adapter? that seems a bit strange | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | foofoobar: have you contacted Dell? | 11:45 |
| faugusztin | foofoobar: looking at temps shown in review on windows, i think it is just a sensor limitation | 11:45 |
| faugusztin | foofoobar: http://www.notebookcheck.net/fileadmin/_migrated/pics/cpu_load.png - see, 50, 80, 79 - similar temp values to yours | 11:45 |
| kostkon | foofoobar, but ok scratch that, it's the cpu temp | 11:46 |
| faugusztin | i think it is just some strange Dell cost saving thing, not sure why, not sure how, but seems like it | 11:46 |
| foofoobar | ActionParsnip, no, for what? That the sensors give me strange results? | 11:49 |
| foofoobar | kostkon, I have 4 cores and only 2 are shown | 11:49 |
| foofoobar | also the temp is only shown in steps like 10°C | 11:49 |
| foofoobar | ok | 11:49 |
| kostkon | oh | 11:49 |
| chemist^ | Hello everyone! | 11:50 |
| foofoobar | ok, so no need to worry :) | 11:50 |
| kostkon | foofoobar, are you sure is 4 cores or just 2 HT cores? | 11:51 |
| chemist^ | I've got a question/problem to ask about installing ubuntu-server.... I get this error msg when installing the system: "Unable to install the selected kernel" .... Kernel package: 'linux-generic-lts-raring' | 11:51 |
| kostkon | it's* | 11:51 |
| chemist^ | is it possible that my computer is too old for this kernel to work on it? | 11:51 |
| kostkon | foofoobar, even the image that faugusztin posted shows 2 cores | 11:51 |
| arcsky | hello, how can i fix the menu so its in the program instead of the top of my screen? | 11:51 |
| foofoobar | kostkon, I just cat'ed /proc/cpuinfo and it showed 4 | 11:52 |
| parduse | how do i surf the web thru my server? my laptop and server are on different wan ips | 11:52 |
| foofoobar | so I thought this means 4 cores | 11:52 |
| kostkon | foofoobar, not necessarily | 11:53 |
| faugusztin | foofoobar: but you have 2 cores | 11:53 |
| foofoobar | kostkon, the posted screenshot is i5 | 11:53 |
| faugusztin | foofoobar: mobile i5 is dualcore with hyperthreading | 11:53 |
| foofoobar | I have i7 | 11:53 |
| foofoobar | "htop" also shows 4 cores | 11:53 |
| faugusztin | foofoobar: same, unless your CPU has Q in name, you have dualcore | 11:53 |
| faugusztin | foofoobar: my Xeon was showing 8 cores in htp and cpuinfo, but that doesn't mean my S1155 Xeon had 8 real cores :) | 11:54 |
| tilerendering | how do I setup private keys for ssh for a non-root/admin user ? | 11:54 |
| tilerendering | (as the user himself) | 11:55 |
| foofoobar | Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3537U | 11:55 |
| foofoobar | So what does htop shows me? Are this virtual cores? | 11:55 |
| faugusztin | foofoobar: dualcore with hyperthreading it is | 11:55 |
| faugusztin | foofoobar: 1.9GHz if i remember correctly | 11:55 |
| kostkon | foofoobar, you learn something new every day :P | 11:55 |
| foofoobar | http://ark.intel.com/products/72054/ 2 cores, you are right | 11:55 |
| faugusztin | foofoobar: 2 are real cores, 2 are virtual... same for all ULV and normal mobile CPU. The only ones with 4 cores in mobile are the ones i said - the ones ending with QM | 11:55 |
| foofoobar | yeah, this is new to me :D | 11:56 |
| arcsky | none know? | 11:56 |
| kostkon | foofoobar, go ahead and use these two temps from lmsensors if you want, look normal to me | 11:56 |
| foofoobar | ok | 11:57 |
| kostkon | foofoobar, there are apps that display system temps, e.g. conky, indicators, etc etc just get one of those | 11:58 |
| streulma | hello, my friend has an ugly window decoration in Ubuntu 12.04 what can we do ? | 11:58 |
| streulma | it's like all GTK rendered | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | streulma: theme it, or replace teh WM | 11:58 |
| psy362 | id say theme it | 11:58 |
| streulma | it's normal ubuntu theme | 11:58 |
| foofoobar | kostkon, I'm using i3wm wih has a status bar (i3status) | 11:59 |
| psy362 | lol yea, you would just want to theme it | 11:59 |
| foofoobar | I'm displaying the cpu temp there | 11:59 |
| foofoobar | I'm getting the value from /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp | 11:59 |
| tilerendering | where is my private key file stored on ubuntu ? | 11:59 |
| xtriz | what is the difference between using libvrit and kvm for virtualization ? | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | tilerendering: for ssh you mean? | 12:00 |
| tilerendering | yes | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | tilerendering: ~/.ssh | 12:00 |
| foofoobar | faugusztin, kostkon but the sensors are strange. It's now switching between 39°C and 50°C | 12:00 |
| tilerendering | and if the user has no home directory ? | 12:00 |
| kostkon | foofoobar, hmm | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | tilerendering: then they wont have a key, they need to log in to generate the key, don'tthere | 12:01 |
| tilerendering | I mean apparently I am able to ssh with this user identity. so the private key file must be somewhere | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | tilerendering: it is in ~/.ssh for each user | 12:01 |
| tilerendering | ActionParsnip: how is it possible I can ssh from this user then ? | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | tilerendering: no idea, connect with verbose option to see what is going on | 12:02 |
| arcsky | menu for firefox are in the top menu instead of the original window, how can i change that ? | 12:03 |
| barthem | it might be a stuppid question, but im gona ask it anyway. whats the name of the side bar in the ubuntu gnome eviroment? | 12:03 |
| faugusztin | foofoobar: thermal_zone0 is temperature provided by ACPI, it could have been "normalized" | 12:04 |
| kostkon | arcsky, easily, just go into your ffox addons and disable the global menu extension | 12:04 |
| kostkon | done* | 12:04 |
| CupOfCocoa | Hey guys, I have a machine with Ubuntu connected to the web. Now I would like to mount a directory from that machine on OS X, any ideas how to go about that? I googled but only found tutorials for the other way around | 12:04 |
| faugusztin | foofoobar: if you have coretemp module loaded, you can safely use lm_sensors too, so just do this in console watch -n 1 sensors | 12:04 |
| faugusztin | foofoobar: the acpi temp will probably jump in those 9's and 0's, while cpu temperature will behave normal | 12:05 |
| foofoobar | faugusztin, kostkon also the output from "sensors" and the content from the /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp are not the same | 12:05 |
| arcsky | kostkon: its for every program,, like terminal as well | 12:05 |
| Senonu | CupOfCocoa, most likely using Samba or a similar package. | 12:05 |
| kostkon | foofoobar, yeah, better use the ones from lmsensors. | 12:05 |
| kostkon | foofoobar, what faugusztin says | 12:06 |
| CupOfCocoa | Senonu: Mhm ok, I know some basic unix stuff but never used samba. Any good tutorials you know of? Otherwise I'll google | 12:06 |
| foofoobar | okay, good | 12:06 |
| faugusztin | foofoobar: as i said, "thermal_zone0" is a value provided by ACPI interface of the motherboard, it could have been run through any insane logic inside BIOS | 12:06 |
| Senonu | CupOfCocoa, simply put, set up Samba on your ubuntu machine and do this on your mac: http://users.wfu.edu/yipcw/atg/apple/smb/ | 12:06 |
| Senonu | CupOfCocoa, the standard Samba guide is pretty good. Sec. | 12:06 |
| faugusztin | foofoobar: maybe it is because they don't want to confuse consumers, so they provide only steps of 10's :) | 12:06 |
| foofoobar | yeah I'm going to rewrite my cpu temp script and take the data from sensors | 12:06 |
| kostkon | arcsky, http://askubuntu.com/a/10627/1651 | 12:07 |
| foofoobar | faugusztin, they are driving me nuts with this strange behaviour :D | 12:07 |
| Senonu | CupOfCocoa, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba/SambaServerGuide here. This one works well. | 12:07 |
| foofoobar | going from 39°C to 50°C already stopped my heart.. | 12:07 |
| foofoobar | I thought its going to burn :> | 12:07 |
| foofoobar | ActionParsnip, I just got this strange behaviour again with the wlan disconnect.. I think I found something interesting in dmesg: http://pastebin.com/gKEbPibu | 12:08 |
| tilerendering | hm I have no idea where it stores the private key. it says: "Authentication method that can continue: publickey, password" | 12:08 |
| alanhoff | Good morning everyone :D | 12:08 |
| alanhoff | Does anyone here know how to remove Unity's top bar from the second screen/monitor? I'm running 13.04 | 12:09 |
| arcsky | kostkon: ok gr8 and the minimize,maximize,close how can i fix that? | 12:10 |
| tilerendering | how do I find out if the user with which I start a ssh connection has a private key, and where it is stored ? | 12:11 |
| kostkon | arcsky, http://askubuntu.com/questions/174292/how-can-i-move-all-the-window-controls-to-the-right ;) | 12:12 |
| arcsky | kostkon: yeah that have i done already! but i want them into the window instead of the top | 12:13 |
| alanhoff | No one? :( | 12:13 |
| arcsky | if i take a terminal and maximize it, you will see minimize,exit in top of the menu, to the lft | 12:13 |
| kostkon | arcsky, did you remove the global menu indicator? did you logout after that | 12:14 |
| arcsky | yeah sure | 12:14 |
| arcsky | file edit view.. are good now | 12:14 |
| arcsky | but not minimize, max, close | 12:14 |
| CupOfCocoa | Senonu: Thanks! figure it outr | 12:15 |
| ActionParsnip | arcsky: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 12:15 |
| kostkon | arcsky, that behaviour probably is hard coded in the unity-panel but i am not sure | 12:15 |
| arcsky | ubuntu 13.04 | 12:16 |
| ActionParsnip | arcsky: do other applicatins do the same? | 12:16 |
| arcsky | yeah | 12:16 |
| Man | i need help | 12:16 |
| arcsky | i cant live with that :/ | 12:16 |
| Man | i need help | 12:16 |
| Man | i need help | 12:16 |
| kostkon | !details | Man | 12:17 |
| ubottu | Man: 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 ..." | 12:17 |

| ese | hi, is there a way i can change the cursor icons? | 12:23 |
| kostkon | ese, a easy way to do it would be to install ubuntu-tweak for example, or unity-tweak if you are on 13.04 | 12:24 |
| foofoobar | ActionParsnip, any hints? | 12:25 |
| ActionParsnip | foofoobar: about what? | 12:25 |
| kostkon | ese, then install any of the cursors themes readily provided by those apps or download your own from gnome-look.org | 12:25 |
| ese | kostkon, i creeate my own icons i want to replace some of them | 12:26 |
| ese | like the cursor arrow and stuff | 12:26 |
| foofoobar | ActionParsnip, I just got this strange behaviour again with the wlan disconnect.. I think I found something interesting in dmesg: http://pastebin.com/gKEbPibu | 12:26 |
| kostkon | ese, hmm, install ubuntu-tweak and see if you can do that | 12:27 |
| ese | ubuntu-tweak let me change premade whole ones, i want to include, replace some with my own custom made arrows and stuff | 12:27 |
| kostkon | ese, hmm | 12:27 |
| ActionParsnip | foofoobar: do you see lots of wireless networks on the same channel around you? | 12:27 |
| kostkon | ese, take one of those themes, extract the file, replace the ones you want with your own files, maybe edit the cursor conf file if needed and then install it. in other words, create your own cursor theme | 12:28 |
| foofoobar | ActionParsnip, no. Acutally its a hotspot | 12:28 |

| ActionParsnip | foofoobar: thats why then | 12:33 |
| kostkon | Dwarf, maybe install with --no-install-recommends? | 12:33 |
| ActionParsnip | foofoobar: that will create loads of crosstalk | 12:33 |
| ActionParsnip | foofoobar: how many on channel 1? | 12:33 |
| foofoobar | ActionParsnip, i'm in my corporate building here, all channels are heavy used | 12:33 |
| foofoobar | but it's okay, I can live with it | 12:34 |
| foofoobar | If its not my fault | 12:34 |
| ese | kostkon, can you give me a hand https://www.dropbox.com/s/9dymzjfstaqwlvy/TROLL.tar.gz ? | 12:34 |
| foofoobar | I used a different notebook before where I did not have the disconnects | 12:34 |
| ActionParsnip | foofoobar: probably a different wifi chip | 12:34 |
| ActionParsnip | foofoobar: could try a newer ubuntu release, see if the newer kernel and drivers help | 12:35 |
| kostkon | ese, cursor themes is not my speciality :P | 12:35 |
| foofoobar | ActionParsnip, ok | 12:35 |
| foofoobar | I think the newer version does not have that good support for other things so I need to stay | 12:35 |

| foofoobar | faugusztin, gartral: for the "fan starts spinning when I plugin in the power" I noticed that when the power adapter is plugged in and battery at 100%, the fan stops | 12:39 |
| ihre | arcsky: the official Pokerstars FAQ reports that it should run with wine > v0.9.1. | 12:39 |
| foofoobar | so maybe the process of loading the battery+using the notebook while loading produces heat which causes the fan to start spinning | 12:39 |

| makara | hi. If I try to upgrade pip with "sudo apt-get upgrade pip" and after doing that it remains v1.0 (when v1.3 is available), does that mean it's being held back by other packages, and that I need to do a general update? | 12:42 |
| mgedmin | makara, 'sudo apt-get upgrade' upgrades all packages and doesn't take any arguments | 12:44 |
| mgedmin | makara, also, ubuntu doesn't have a package called 'pip' | 12:44 |

| ActionParsnip | makara: so where do you get old from, when it is supported | 12:48 |
| makara | well it won't upgrade pip, and I need "pip show" | 12:48 |

| makara | what good is it if all the software stays old | 12:48 |

| mgedmin | makara, if you use virtualenvs (and I strongly recommend you do so), you don't need a recent /usr/bin/pip | 12:51 |

| makara | always? | 12:53 |
| ActionParsnip | makara: if you want latest stuff use the newest releases, if you want a solid OS with long support stick to the LTS | 12:53 |

| ActionParsnip | makara: exactly and thats why the LTS releases stay on 'old' versions but they work fine. If there is a security issue in a package and a new version fixes it then that will be pushed but packages in ANY ubuntu are not updated just because newer version is out | 12:55 |

| Dwarf | NeoKarna: Gentoo and ubuntu are two different distros... | 13:08 |
| wilee-nilee | NeoKarna, gentoo is a whole different OS that makes no sense. | 13:09 |
| NeoKarna | Dwarf, yeah I know that but the problem is with Ubuntu | 13:09 |
| Dwarf | Of course | 13:09 |
| Dwarf | So, you want to install gentoo? | 13:09 |
| Dwarf | Are you REALLY sure? | 13:09 |
| Dwarf | If you can't handle ubuntu then gentoo is not for you. | 13:09 |
| NeoKarna | Dwarf, I've installed arch on VirtualBox without any problem | 13:10 |
| vlt | subby1: Depends on your needs. If you want to shrink you have to shrink the fs first, then the block device. | 13:10 |
| axtheb | NeoKarna: So want to download stage3 file and your ubuntu is freaking out while you download? | 13:10 |
| NeoKarna | axtheb, yeah | 13:10 |
| vlt | subby1: And I think for file system shrinking you have to unmount it. So, you have to do it from another root fs (like live CD or USB). | 13:10 |
| dariusc93 | gentoo isnt for anyone who cant handle ubuntu | 13:10 |
| axtheb | Repeatedly? Even after reboot? | 13:10 |

| axtheb | NeoKarna: I dont understand your answer to me | 13:11 |
| dariusc93 | well i do love setting everyything up and compiling drivers :) | 13:11 |
| axtheb | NeoKarna: So its livecd ubuntu? Probably you are running out of memory somewhere. | 13:12 |
| NeoKarna | axtheb, the step in which I am getting problem is actually before I install gentoo. | 13:12 |
| Tsaknorris | has anybody found solution to this annoying problem with flash videos. Let's say you are watching youtube and you want to go use keyboard to go another tab. How you do it without mouse? That flash video takes all the focus. I have to press first mouse somewhere on that page before i can ctrl + pgDwn. | 13:12 |
| axtheb | NeoKarna: I get it. You are having problem downloading file, not install gentoo. | 13:13 |
| NeoKarna | axtheb, I am using livecd to install gentoo. I've Ubuntu 12.04 LTS aleardy installed. I am using gentoo minimal iso in virtualbox | 13:13 |
| NeoKarna | dariusc93, ;) | 13:13 |
| axtheb | Ah. So you are in working ubuntu install. You then run virtualbox with gentoo livecd, try installing it and it fails | 13:15 |
| NeoKarna | axtheb, no you get it | 13:15 |
| NeoKarna | axtheb, now you get it | 13:15 |
| arcsky | anyone know if its possible to connect to my jobs Microsoft Lync chat? | 13:15 |
| arcsky | from ubuntu | 13:15 |
| NeoKarna | axtheb, actually Ubuntu thinks that its some kind of hacking attempt | 13:16 |
| NeoKarna | axtheb, and it happens only with Gentoo. Arch install was went fine. | 13:16 |
| wheatthin | NeoKarna, then it's not ubuntu thinking it's some kind of hacking attempt.. that just doesn't make sense | 13:17 |
| NeoKarna | axtheb, you mean Ubuntu reboot or gentoo reboot ? | 13:17 |
| axtheb | NeoKarna: ubuntu reboot | 13:18 |
| axtheb | arcsky: google "microsoft lync ubuntu" | 13:18 |
| NeoKarna | wheatthin, it happens when I start gento | 13:18 |
| wheatthin | NeoKarna, then you're virtual image is corrupted somehow | 13:19 |
| wheatthin | your* | 13:19 |
| NeoKarna | wheatthin, how can that be possible ? Its saying that your mouse focus is switching too much which can be a hacking attempt | 13:20 |
| wheatthin | NeoKarna, lol what kind of extra security software do you have installed? cause I've NEVER ever ran into that issue, and I'm in and out of my vm's practically all day | 13:21 |
| NeoKarna | wheatthin, I've installed privoxy | 13:21 |
| wheatthin | NeoKarna, FYI privoxy is not a security feature, it's an obscurity app, cause of no encryption, which still won't cause that problem | 13:23 |
| chang-yeop | dd | 13:23 |
| NeoKarna | wheatthin, then I've got nothing. | 13:24 |
| wheatthin | NeoKarna, Again, I'm thinking it's a corrupted image, and/or gentoo is broken. | 13:24 |
| wheatthin | either way, this isn't a gentoo help channel | 13:25 |
| NeoKarna | wheatthin, maybe. I am asking the same question on #gentoo | 13:25 |
| NeoKarna | wheatthin, and I don't know whether the problem is with Gentoo or Ubuntu | 13:26 |
| wheatthin | NeoKarna, before asking, have you checked your installation images for corruption? or is this after a successful installation? | 13:26 |
| === BotaniCar is now known as wafel_noodle | ||
| wheatthin | NeoKarna, you can boot with a livedvd image, and try running a fsck to the gentoo install drive, to see if it's broken in that way. Also, if it's after a successful install, did you install os additions or vmware tools? | 13:28 |

| wheatthin | NeoKarna, the OS type.. it has several "linux" types.. just choose a different one | 13:35 |
| NeoKarna | wheatthin, would that change anything ? | 13:36 |
| Han | Can anyone explain how I set up freerdp with lightdm in raring? The package is installeed by default but I can't find any documentation on the matter. (google, /usr/share/doc, man) | 13:36 |
| wheatthin | NeoKarna, OS specific vmware-tools will change virtual hardware to compliant ones | 13:36 |
| wheatthin | at least the drivers to the virtual hardware | 13:37 |
| NeoKarna | wheatthin, let me try that | 13:37 |
| ArielX_ | please see and help resolve this issue thanks ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/6217983/ | 13:38 |
| NeoKarna | wheatthin, I think that might work . Because I am not getting the mouse cursor now which I was getting while installing gentoo. | 13:39 |
| mgedmin | ArielX_, feel free to remove the 'cdrom' entries from your /etc/apt/sources.list (I believe the Software Sources GUI tool can do that too) | 13:39 |
| mgedmin | as for the two PPAs, I suggest you remove them too | 13:39 |
| === davide is now known as Guest5737 | ||
| mgedmin | they apparently do not have any packages for raring | 13:39 |
| NeoKarna | wheatthin, I chose arch. I would change that after I install gentoo. Thanks a lot ! | 13:39 |
| ArielX_ | mgedmin ... where are the PPAs to remove. please check and inform me.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/6218002/ thanks | 13:41 |
| wheatthin | If that was the case, I'd uninstall vmware-tools, choose the OS type, and then proceed with installing gentoo or whatever | 13:41 |
| mgedmin | ArielX_, in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/name-of-ppa-distro.list; or just use Software Sources and uncheck the appropriate checkboxes | 13:42 |

| blz | Hello, I'm trying to export 4 distinct folders via nfs (each with it's own mountpoint, i.e.: server:/export/folder_name), but all four of these mountpoints appear to point to the same directory. Here is my fstab file with the NFS filesystem at the bottom, followed by my /etc/exports: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6217970/ && http://paste.ubuntu.com/6217973/ Does anybody know what's wrong with my setup? | 13:45 |
| wheatthin | blz that's because you are pointing them to the same folder | 13:46 |
| wheatthin | create a sub folder with the appropriate names and make the changes in your config | 13:47 |
| blz | wheatthin, I don't follow... they are in separate folders | 13:48 |
| blz | /home/louist/* and /export/*, respectively | 13:48 |
| blz | wheatthin, could you elaborate? | 13:49 |
| Yowl | What command instead of fdisk should I use for GPT disks? | 13:50 |
| Yowl | What command instead of fdisk should I use for GPT disks? | 13:50 |
| NeoKarna | wheatthin, why would you uninstall vmware-tools when solution you suggested just works | 13:50 |
| Yowl | What command instead of fdisk should I use for GPT disks? | 13:51 |
| wheatthin | NeoKarna, cause it's only working after you had selected previously installed specific vmware-tools. | 13:52 |
| wheatthin | uninstalling the vmware-tools until you get the os you want installed first, and then install the vmware-tools, cause it needs to build the tools based on the kernel | 13:53 |
| NeoKarna | wheatthin, I just changed the OS | 13:54 |
| NeoKarna | Yowl, I've used gdisk | 13:54 |
| Marco-123 | hi all. DNS question, i think (local on Ubuntu). On my router, I've got a server which I've given a static ip. Works. On another client machine (Ubuntu 12), I'd like to use a "name" instead of the ip. my understand is that this is part of what DNS servers do. i also assumed that I could make an "entry" on my client machine (locally) to tell the same computer to resolve "name" to the IP. I've googled but haven't had any success bec | 13:54 |
| Marco-123 | any ideas? | 13:54 |
| Marco-123 | even with the terminology | 13:54 |
| NeoKarna | Yowl, its nice and requires lesser steps | 13:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Marco-123: you can add a manual entry into DNS to make the name resolve as you desire | 13:55 |
| === willybilly0101 is now known as esophagus | ||
| Marco-123 | ActionParsnip: great! is there a default "DNS server" with Ubuntu 12? I can google how to add an entry to that. | 13:56 |
| Marco-123 | also would that be called a "DNS entry"? | 13:56 |
| ganeshran | how can I check if unicode is enabled in ubuntu | 13:56 |

| ganeshran | loa: this is the output http://pastie.org/8392433. It doesnt say if unicode is enabled | 13:58 |
| === esophagus is now known as willybilly0101 | ||
| blz | wheatthin, I'm not sure. I restarted nfs-kernel-server and idmapd | 13:58 |
| blz | wheatthin, I basically followed the instructions under the "NFS4 without kerberos" heading here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NFSv4Howto | 13:59 |
| loa | ganeshran, for example i have such output http://pastie.org/8392438 | 13:59 |
| ganeshran | loa: I guess unicode is not enabled then. Any idea how to enable | 13:59 |
| NeoKarna | Yowl, In Ubuntu, no but you can apt-get install it. For a list of current partitions just type gdisk hit enter and type p which would print the current partitions. | 14:00 |
| loa | ganeshran, try google, something like "change locale in ubuntu" | 14:00 |
| mrrcp | how do i get irssi to beep? | 14:00 |
| NeoKarna | Yowl, you can see the man page here http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/gdisk.html | 14:00 |
| mrrcp | with ubuntu | 14:00 |
| wheatthin | blz, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo scroll down it says something about aftet setting up /etc/exports, export the shares: sudo exportfs -ra | 14:00 |
| NeoKarna | Yowl, there's also cgdisk. I don't know much about it. But you can learn more here http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/cgdisk.html | 14:01 |
| blz | wheatthin, I'm still having the same problem... | 14:02 |
| loa | hello, i want to learn more about "cgroup" | 14:03 |
| blz | wheatthin, I've restarted nfs-kernel-server, portmap and idmapd | 14:03 |
| wheatthin | and ran sudo exportfs -ra ? | 14:03 |
| blz | yes | 14:03 |
| blz | wheatthin, ^ | 14:03 |
| blz | wheatthin, I also unmounted and remounted the shares just to be sure | 14:04 |
| wheatthin | blz did you remount the shares on the guest computer too? | 14:05 |
| Marco-123 | thank you! gtg | 14:05 |
| blz | wheatthin, that's what I was referring to, but you bring up a good point -- I should perhaps try to remount them on the server | 14:05 |
| Yowl | NeoKarna: Nothing about gdisk is working, when I type gdisk it asks me to type device file name. if I enter p, it says "Problem opening p for reading! Error is 2. The specified file does not exist! | 14:06 |
| gordonjcp | Yowl: what are you trying to do? | 14:06 |
| Yowl | gordonjcp: Trying to get a list of my partitions with full information. Since I am using GPT, fdisk information is lacking | 14:07 |
| mathfreak | Hey everyone. What exactly does a lazy unmount do? What's it mean to "Detach the filesystem from the filesystem hirearchy now, and cleanup all references to the filesystem as soon as it is not busy anymore"? | 14:07 |
| mehdi | ActionParsnip, what ere the application like uck? | 14:07 |
| gordonjcp | Yowl: tried gparted? | 14:08 |
| Yowl | gordonjcp: Yeah I could load up gparted, but that's a hassle to deal with. I want the information nicely listed in a terminal window | 14:08 |
| blz | wheatthin, still no-go | 14:09 |
| gordonjcp | Yowl: okay, so what exactly are you doing with gdisk? | 14:09 |
| Yowl | gordonjcp: Nothing, since nothing I try works, you want to know what I've tried? | 14:09 |
| gordonjcp | Yowl: just paste in the exact command line you tried, verbatim | 14:10 |
| wheatthin | blz, nfs ports enabled in any firewalls? | 14:10 |
| blz | wheatthin, huh? I can connect to the share, so I don't see how this could be a firewall problem | 14:10 |
| wheatthin | blz, just getting clarity.. chill | 14:11 |
| NeoKarna | Yowl, let me check that | 14:11 |
| blz | wheatthin, I'm perfectly calm =) | 14:11 |
| blz | wheatthin, sorry if that came off as irate | 14:11 |
| wheatthin | blz, So if you're connecting the share, it just all seems to be the same share tho? | 14:11 |
| gordonjcp | Yowl: I can't really hang about and wait | 14:12 |
| gordonjcp | Yowl: have you tried something like "sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda" ? | 14:12 |
| Yowl | gordonjcp: "gdisk", then p at "type file device name" "gdisk /?" "sudo GNU Parted -l" "gdisk man" | 14:12 |
| blz | wheatthin, more or less. Basically if I connect to any of the shares, I end up seeing the contents of ~/tv | 14:13 |
| === nathan is now known as Guest57745 | ||
| blz | wheatthin, so /export/music points to ~/tv as does /export/pictures and /export/movies | 14:13 |
| blz | wheatthin, and /export/tv as well, naturally | 14:13 |
| Yowl | gordonjcp: OK that worked, but how do I skip "dev/sda, and have it list EVERYTHING? | 14:14 |
| wheatthin | blz, then the server config is messed up somehow. | 14:14 |
| blz | So it would appear =) | 14:15 |
| blz | Are there any other config files I should be looking at other than /etc/fstab and /etc/export ? | 14:15 |
| wheatthin | blz, so have you tried unmounting the shares on the guest, and manually mounting individual shares? | 14:15 |
| blz | wheatthin, manually mounting the individual shares on the client? Yes, that's what I've been doing all along with `mount ip:/export/somefolder` | 14:16 |
| Yowl | gordonjcp: OK that worked, but how do I skip "dev/sda, and have it list EVERYTHING? | 14:16 |
| wheatthin | + deseired mountpoint in that command? | 14:16 |
| blz | wheatthin, yes, sorry | 14:17 |
| NeoKarna | Yowl, its easy. Just type "sudo gdisk /dev/sda" where /dev/sda is your main partition(it includes all other partitions). Ubuntu 12.04 uses MBR, so be sure about what you are doing as it can be destructive. You can also try "sudo gdisk /dev/sda1" where /dev/sda1 is your partition. For a making a new partition type n . For writing changes type w. Hope that helps | 14:17 |
| blz | wheatthin, also, `showmount -e ip` shows all the expected mountpoints for the server | 14:17 |
| wheatthin | blz, sorry, can I see? | 14:17 |
| blz | wheatthin, sure thing | 14:17 |
| blz | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6218176/ | 14:18 |
| blz | wheatthin, ^ | 14:18 |
| Yowl | NeoKarna: That command doesn't work | 14:18 |
| NeoKarna | Yowl, what does it say ? | 14:19 |
| BlessJah | I'm trying to /t | 14:19 |
| NeoKarna | Yowl, I just tried that on my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and it works like charm | 14:20 |
| Yowl | It puts me in a command menu, difficult to explain without a screenshot. Anyway if I use "/dev/sda" it will only tell me about that one HDD Neo | 14:21 |
| Yowl | NeoKarna: | 14:23 |
| NeoKarna | Yeah ? | 14:24 |
| blz | wheatthin, I'm actually going to head out, so I'll give this another crack later. Thanks for your help, though | 14:24 |
| NeoKarna | Yowl, I think this would make things clear http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/walkthrough.html | 14:24 |
| wheatthin | alrighty man.. take care... hope you figure this out. | 14:24 |
| LucidGuy | I've installed a sata drive into a new PC with Ubuntu 10.04.4. The system wont boot properly because I believe the kernel in that version did not support the new sata crontroller. How difficult would it be to somehow using a newer ubuntu live cd and upgrading the kernel on the drive? | 14:25 |
| Yowl | NeoKarna: What makes this clear is that this is not a good command for getting a list of all your partitions on different drives. So what would be good for that? | 14:26 |
| === zack6849|Offline is now known as zack6849 | ||

| Yowl | No it isnt | 14:26 |
| zykotic10 | Yowl: have you tried "sudo parted -l" yet? | 14:26 |
| LucidGuy | wheatthin, Unfortunately I don't have that option.. if I did I would. | 14:26 |
| wheatthin | LucidGuy, why not that option? | 14:26 |
| NeoKarna | Yowl, just use /dev/sda and that would list all the partitions | 14:27 |
| === federico is now known as Guest74537 | ||
| Yowl | zykotic10: Thanks! I thought i had tried that, but maybe I used gparted or something, anyway, it worked! | 14:27 |

| flam_ | *automatically | 14:28 |
| wheatthin | LucidGuy, In that case, you might wanna look for a ppa of a newer kernel | 14:28 |
| Yowl | NeoKarna: It seems "sudo parted -l" is better | 14:28 |
| NeoKarna | Yowl, would parted make GPT partition tables ? | 14:29 |
| NeoKarna | Yowl, gdisk is specific to GPT only | 14:29 |
| Yowl | NeoKarna: I don't know what you mean by "make" but for listing, that command works nicely | 14:30 |
| wheatthin | LucidGuy, What kernel version is your machine on now? | 14:30 |
| LucidGuy | wheatthin, well I can't boot this system, so not exactly sure. | 14:31 |
| NeoKarna | Yowl, I mean would parted create GPT partition tables. Or would it work with GPT ? | 14:31 |
| wheatthin | LucidGuy, well you just gotta boot from a livecd and chroot into your environment | 14:31 |

| xtriz | NeoKarna, installing Arch in Ubuntu ? | 14:47 |
| xtriz | njsg, ok reading it | 14:47 |
| NeoKarna | xtriz, VM | 14:47 |
| njsg | NeoKarna: you say several distros give the same issue? it's highly likely virtualbox has some issue | 14:47 |
| wheatthin | no, he says everything else works.. | 14:48 |
| NeoKarna | njsg, I think its problem with VirtualBox, maybe I would intall it again, this time without guest addons | 14:48 |
| njsg | NeoKarna: what was the issue again? just random issues or anything consistent? | 14:48 |
| wheatthin | njsg instead of creating a new virtualbox vm, he tried installing gentoo on a previous arch install, which had guest additions installed | 14:49 |
| NeoKarna | njsg, Ubuntu was consistently aborting installation of gentoo. I think that might also be related to VirtualBox as wheatthin suggested | 14:49 |
| xtriz | NeoKarna, you mentioned everything works fine, then where is the issue :) | 14:50 |
| njsg | NeoKarna: wait, is ubuntu the host, gentoo the guest? | 14:50 |

| Yowl | If I wanted to do a Full Disk Encryption with LUKS, would I need a seconddrive? I think I was told earlier that encrypting requires feeding the unecrypted files into the encrypted space one after another. So doesn't that mean I need a second unencrypted drive to work from? | 14:51 |
| njsg | NeoKarna: also, since when do you need a mouse to install gentoo? :-D | 14:51 |
| njsg | Yowl: IIRC the installer can set up disk encryption when you install. transferring an existing install may be a problem, though | 14:52 |
| wheatthin | njsg we did, which was related to virtualbox os specific setting, as it installed a specific os additions | 14:52 |

| mitrax | Yowl, thank you for your information! | 14:58 |
| faugusztin | Guest91544: --no-preserve-root | 14:58 |
| NeoKarna | wheatthin, anyway thanks for the help. | 14:58 |

| Yowl | isasha: Product like that have a certain level of paranoia for using it outside of its design parameters, And since the SMART check is its vaulted HDD stability assurance, its failure would give dire warnings. But it doesn't NECESSARILY (but might) mean imminent drive failure | 14:59 |
| Guest91544 | how can I use --no-preserve-root faugusztin, like as sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root??? | 14:59 |
| Guest91544 | after the command? | 14:59 |
| isasha | Yowl, I must add that I found this hdd at the junkyard | 14:59 |
| isasha | (as all my other hard drives :D) | 14:59 |
| faugusztin | Guest91544: rm -rf --no-preserve-root / , but i take no responsibility for your criminal behavior :) | 15:00 |

| Dwarf | What package provides the window for the additional drivers screen? | 15:00 |
| Yowl | isasha: In other words, less dire then text would indicate, but not something to completely ignore. Is the drive acting noisy when you access data off it? Is it struggling to spin up? Usually what fails on these HDD first are the motors | 15:00 |
| Dwarf | Or rather, the program | 15:00 |
| isasha | Yowl, lemme mount it and see | 15:01 |

| ssj5subhashish | I want to remove ubuntu frm my computer......I hv it with a win 7 dual boot......will it affect my boot??? And how culdi get rid of ubuntu?? | 15:02 |
| Dwarf | ssj5subhashish: Install the windows bootloader and remove the ubuntu partition | 15:03 |
| isasha | Yowl, no issues with noise... I guess I'll use it :) | 15:03 |
| Yowl | isasha: And no unusual wait time for the drive to spin up, to start, right? | 15:03 |
| isasha | Nop | 15:04 |
| Yowl | isasha: then yeah, use it probably, odds are its fine, but you may wish to back up important data especially with it | 15:04 |
| isasha | Yowl, I doubt it will be an issue compared to the other 160gb IDE drives in the seedbox ;) | 15:05 |
| Yowl | isasha: Though it may have damaged portions, you might wish to do a drive scan. And keep in mind that it might not last as long | 15:05 |

| ssj5subhashish | Dwarf: with windows boot loader you mean the windows 7 cd that they give or is there any other program | 15:06 |
| Yowl | isasha: I think things like smart check is a firmware thing, so you might try finding its firmware online, if you can, and updating/replacing it | 15:06 |

| Lynx_ | Hi all! I have 12.04 but need gcc (or rather g++) 4.7. I did "apt-get install gcc-4.7" and it finished without errors, but I can't find gcc-4.7 anywhere. Where does it go? It's not in /usr/bin where 4.6 is. | 15:14 |
| Crazyzurfer | hi guys, apache is giving me this errors when trying to access virtual server "[core:error] [pid 14146] (13)Permission denied: [client 127.0.0.1:45774] AH00035: access to / denied (filesystem path '/media/joako/3846ADEC46ADAAD8/Users') because search permissions are missing on a component of the path", already tried to change permissions to a+rx to all the folders where the files are, the error just moved to the folder Users (it was in the numeric | 15:16 |
| Crazyzurfer | folder before) | 15:16 |
| Rory | Lynx_: What is the output of "gcc -v" | 15:16 |
| Tylertwo | Lynx_, "locate gcc-4.7" | 15:16 |
| classicchins | hmm | 15:16 |
| Lynx_ | Rory: It's still 4.6, /usr/bin/gcc is a link to /usr/bin/gcc-4.6 | 15:17 |
| Lynx_ | Tylertwo: I need to update locate's database first, right? | 15:17 |
| ikonia | classicchins: it's apache internal permissions, not file system permissions | 15:17 |
| Rory | Lynx_: If you did apt-get install gcc-4.7 it will be /usr/bin/gcc-4.7 | 15:17 |
| Tylertwo | Lynx_, yeah, it auto-updates daily by default | 15:18 |
| Rory | Lynx_: I just tried it | 15:18 |
| ikonia | Crazyzurfer: the error will be apache internal permissions I suspect | 15:18 |
| Tylertwo | Lynx_, so "maybe". i'd just try the command and see if there's results | 15:19 |
| Lynx_ | Rory: But there is not /usr/bin/gcc-4.7 in my case | 15:19 |
| Lynx_ | Tylertwo: I updated and searched, it finds docs and other stuff for gcc-4.7-base but not the actual gcc-4.7 | 15:19 |
| Lynx_ | apt-get tells me "gcc-4.7-base is already the newest version." I this the right package? | 15:20 |
| Yowl | Would someone please tell me about LUKS and the necessity or not of feeding data from unencrypted space, to encrypted space? | 15:21 |
| Rory | Lynx_: sudo apt-get install gcc-4.7 | 15:21 |
| Lynx_ | Rory: I did that, but it does not seem to work although there are no errors. | 15:22 |
| Rory | Lynx_: Can you pastebin the output of the command: "sudo apt-get install gcc-4.7" ? | 15:23 |
| codepython777 | whats the correct way to do this: find -name 'mydirs' | xargs $1 df -h $2 | 15:24 |
| Lynx_ | Rory: I pasted the important part already, it's "gcc-4.7-base is already the newest version." It replaces gcc-4.7 with gcc-4.7-base during installation. | 15:24 |
| Crazyzurfer | ikonia: How can I check that? | 15:24 |
| ikonia | Crazyzurfer: look in the apache2 config and at the site specific config file | 15:24 |

| gdos | oh. :) | 15:46 |
| ezra-s | gdos, afaik dns setting is a per machine setting, but there are always dirty workarounds I guess | 15:46 |

| gdos | somegirl: did you check your home folder permission settings? | 15:47 |
| ezra-s | gdos, network manager may be to way to do it, when you configure a device or wifi or anything if I recall well you can specify if you share it with other users (being you the admin), maybe there is a way through there | 15:47 |

| Peasant333 | i do but putty works better for terminal than win SCP | 15:55 |

| somegirl | Peasant333: whatever | 15:56 |
| somegirl | your client is win? | 15:56 |

| ikonia | Peasant333: you have changed the user apache runs as to a non-existant user called "USER" | 16:00 |
| Peasant333 | it used something like $( current user) sorry i know that is not exactly it, and it would give me error bad user name USER, so on google it said switch it to www-data | 16:00 |

| ikonia | Yowl: you can't put numbers on it like that | 16:34 |
| ikonia | Yowl: just work out if you can live without your data, if so, take the risk, if not, back it up | 16:35 |

| OerHeks | rampageRipper, Awesome is already in the official repositories. Simply install packages awesome and awesome-extra . | 16:42 |
| Yowl | ikonia: Does a partition being encrypted increase the risk of changing partition size? | 16:42 |
| HIMYM | Zal: So when the I have to choose the "Installation type" I choose "Replace Windows 7 with Ubuntu" right? | 16:42 |
| ikonia | Yowl: the partition size does not change | 16:42 |
| Zal | HIMYM, hm, I'm not familiar with exactly what the installer asks. | 16:43 |
| lotuspsychje | HIMYM: yes | 16:43 |
| Yowl | ikonia: ? I mean if a partition is encrypted, is changing its size more risky then if it was unencrypted? | 16:43 |
| ikonia | Yowl: I don't know to be honest, I guess so but I wouldn't bet my life on it | 16:44 |
| hitsujiTMO | yowl: that will depend on the exact method of encryption | 16:44 |

| HIMYM | lotuspsychje & Zal thanks for the help!! Now time to kill Windows!! Long Live FOSS!! | 16:45 |

| lotuspsychje | HIMYM: welcome to another world! and if you need any packages come back and ask | 16:46 |
| Yowl | hitsujiTMO: Yes, but there are different levels to this. Please give me a couple examples | 16:46 |

| skinux | Simply curious, does paste.ubuntu.com use an open source paste script or is it custom? | 16:49 |
| edk | parduse: you probably shouldn't bind the proxy to 0.0.0.0 | 16:49 |

| parduse | doesnt 0.0.0.0 mean world? i tried the ipless version but error recurred | 16:50 |
| lixd | oh.... too late probably | 16:50 |
| Yowl | OerHeks: Changing a 100gb partition to 120gb partition, with being encrypted, or without it being encrypted | 16:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | yowl, some encryption programs will just encrypt a partition ... resizing this partition can be dangerous as the partition manager may not be aware of or understand the encryption. Others will encrypt a logical volume that contains the partition. resizing the volume is safe as the partition is inside the encrypted space. | 16:51 |
| wheatthin | parduse, 0.0.0.0 is just a representation of ip addressing | 16:51 |

| Yowl | hitsujiTMO: So which does LUKS do? | 16:52 |
| parduse | i see but the result doesnt change, still i cannot connect, does it have to do with iptables ? which i guess not | 16:52 |
| === Maple[] is now known as RDisBestPony | ||
| wheatthin | parduse, you're trying to connect to a proxy right? Do you have one locally or remotely? | 16:53 |
| wheatthin | 0.0.0.0 should be the ip address of the proxy | 16:53 |
| hitsujiTMO | i'm not familiar with LUKS, but reading the basic entry on wikipedia states that its disk-level encryption ... which usually means it creates a logical volume | 16:53 |
| Jordan_U | hitsujiTMO: Most partition management tools (all good ones) either ignore partition contents entirely or refuse to resize partitions whose content they don't understand. | 16:54 |
| parduse | wheatthin server is remote and ubuntu 12.04 i am on laptop win7, | 16:54 |
| wheatthin | parduse, then it's whatever IP address of the server | 16:54 |
| parduse | so wheatthin what should i do/correct/change? | 16:55 |
| Yowl | hitsujiTMO: Well your first one, encrypt a partition, how is that different then a disk level encryption? And are you saying the logical volume version reduces the risk, or eliminates it? | 16:56 |
| parduse | wan adress of the server is xxx.dyn.... in my example also | 16:56 |
| wheatthin | parduse, are they on separate lans? | 16:57 |
| parduse | sure | 16:57 |
| parduse | seperate in another city by now | 16:57 |
| Jordan_U | hitsujiTMO: LUKS can be used with or without LVM, though most people that use LUKS use LVM as well. | 16:58 |

| tnk1 | I think it must be network stack or driver related, because ubuntu won't even recognize a newly plugged in wifi card, if i plug it in after the first card has dropped connection during one of those wifi dropping phases.. | 17:00 |

| Peasant333 | is there anyway to set apache back to defaults on ubuntu? | 17:07 |
| Peasant333 | im using lamp | 17:07 |
| foofoobar | There are a few suggestions at the bottom of this thread, one is to upgrade the kernel, the second is to install a "backport" | 17:07 |
| Peasant333 | it is for some reason loading up sub directory as default | 17:07 |
| hitsujiTMO | yowl: disk level encryption creates a logical volume that stores your partitions. and this volume itself is what gets encrypted not the partition itself. This reduces risk but does not eliminate it. | 17:08 |
| foofoobar | Which method seems more "safe" so I wont lose support for the other hardware ? | 17:08 |
| foofoobar | Peasant333, set apache back to default? you can use the default httpd.conf files | 17:08 |
| Peasant333 | where do i get the default files? | 17:09 |
| Peasant333 | i dont want to reinstall and lose my site | 17:09 |
| foofoobar | why not fifure out what is loading the subdirectory? | 17:09 |
| foofoobar | have a look at the DocumentRoot and the vhosts conf file | 17:10 |

| BSaboia | hello guys. is there a way to configure ubuntu to use "simple" graphics options? there is too much animations and i don't need that | 17:10 |
| hitsujiTMO | Jordan_U: some encryption tools use hidden volumes within an outer encrypted volume. this volume usually shows up as free space if the partition tool is not aware of it. an attempt to resize a partition in such a volume could overwrite the hidden volume and screw up a system | 17:11 |

| ggherdov | Hello. I rent a remote server with ubuntu-server and a custom kernel provided by the hosting company (`uname -r` gives 2.6.38.2-grsec-xxxx-grs-ipv6-64). My goal is to replace the kernel with a newer version. The hosting company said "do it but then you're on your own yada yada". | 17:26 |
| ggherdov | I am willing to take the risk to brake things; it's a machine I keep for ricreational and learning purposes; breaking things is the way I learn. | 17:26 |
| ggherdov | Question: during the last upgrade I did (11.10 --> 12.04) the kernel was unchanged. What is your guess about how they managed to keep the kernel out of the loop of the ubuntu upgrade? (xpost to #ubuntu-server) | 17:26 |
| pjha | angela_1: Hi | 17:26 |
| BSaboia | MonkeyDust, hitsujiTMO thanks | 17:26 |
| angela_1 | pjha: hello | 17:27 |
| mendes_ | Testing | 17:27 |
| hitsujiTMO | ggherdov they prob run their own repo | 17:27 |
| mino | ggherdov: its easy to bring your system to a not accessible state via network with a custom kernel. If you want to learn linux and do stuff like replacing the kernel do it either local on your pc or inside a vm on the remote machine | 17:28 |
| heylouiz | Hi, how can i update my ubuntu 13.04 to 13.10 beta? | 17:29 |
| ggherdov | hitsujiTMO: yes they have a mirror of the ubuntu repo. And probably they manage to... skip kernel updates then. | 17:29 |
| mino | ggherdov: a question is also is this a dedicated server or a virtual one? And if virtual which virtualizer? If its paravirtualized/chrooting its neither quite complicated or impossible :) | 17:29 |
| ggherdov | mino: physical machine (dedicated server). | 17:30 |
| ubuntusux | heylouiz: hey | 17:30 |
| mendes_ | heylouiz: this is such a good question | 17:31 |
| MonkeyDust | heylouiz better ask in #ubuntu+1, i guess | 17:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | ggherdov: is there any particular reason why you want to use a specific kernel? or you just want to play around? | 17:31 |
| mendes_ | MonkeyDust: What is the difference bettwen #ubuntu and #ubuntu-1 | 17:31 |
| ubuntusux | heylouiz: apt-get dist-upgrade | 17:31 |
| === ubuntusux is now known as ubuntuftw | ||
| ggherdov | hitsujiTMO: actually I need a kernel compatible with linux container (LXC) 0.7.5. kernel 2.6 isn't supported. It's quite a limitation. | 17:32 |
| Crazyzurfer | hi | 17:32 |

| Crazyzurfer | just appears a black screen for a microsec and returns to login | 17:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | ggherdov: you could try and force an install of 3.8 if its in their repo | 17:34 |
| heylouiz | MonkeyDust: Thanks, i'll try this channel! | 17:35 |
| ggherdov | hitsujiTMO: good idea. do you know the name of the package by which you get the... current kernel in an ubuntu distro? | 17:35 |
| Crazyzurfer | happened after trying to install lamp | 17:36 |
| Crazyzurfer | rebooted my pc and got this | 17:37 |
| Crazyzurfer | and in that same black screen it said: apache2: could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name.... | 17:38 |
| hitsujiTMO | ggherdov: try linux-image-generic otherwise i think linux-image-3.8.0-31-generic is current | 17:39 |
| Crazyzurfer | so.. entered with ctrl+alt+f1 and uninstalled lamp, now i get the black screen but no text and returns to login very fast | 17:40 |

| ubottu | Tasksel is a Debian/Ubuntu tool that installs multiple related packages as a co-ordinated "task" onto your system, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tasksel for more information.

| user_111 | hi , Iuse ubuntu12.04 with gnome(3.4.1) interface, Yesterday after booting a message popped up that some applet is not working and asked to delete or not delete the applet, i closed the dialogue box by clicking x in the top corner, | 18:12 |
| user_111 | now my running programs are not showing in the lower taskbar | 18:13 |
| user_111 | can some one help? | 18:13 |
| daftykins | user_111: try backing up some of your . folders related to gnome to see where the problem lies, if you haven't changed much you could just full on reset them | 18:14 |
| daftykins | user_111: it appears gnome configurations could be in the following: .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity | 18:15 |

| daftykins | user_111: if you open a terminal, they will be hidden folders stored within ~ (which is another way of writing /home/yourusername/. To back them up, first have a look which ones are there by typing "ls -a" into the terminal, then match them up with the list i gave you. Now you can rename them to stop them being used as a test: "mv .gnome .gnome-old". Once you've done that for each one, you can log out and back in to see if it's changed | 18:21 |

| mino | i have a problem with multiple network trunk with 3 ids where 2 of them need to receive a ip via DHCP. Only the first interface receives dhcp the rest not | 18:27 |
| user_111 | daftykins, i have .gnome2 , .gconf , .gnome2_private. but not the .gnome .gconfd and .metacity | 18:27 |
| mino | s/multiple/a/ | 18:27 |
| user_111 | I have backed them up and now do i restart the machine?? | 18:28 |
| mino | it seems that dhclient doesnt handle multiple vlan interfaces right | 18:28 |
| daftykins | user_111: that's fine, just try applying the above method to those. you can restore them by just moving the .gnome2-old to .gnome2 again, of course | 18:28 |
| daftykins | user_111: just a logout and login should be enough | 18:28 |

| daftykins | ITAL0: ok, then i can only suggest you look up guides on installing virtualbox the appropriate way for ubuntu - it seems you might be doing it a non-standard way perhaps | 18:52 |
| daftykins | Crazyzurfer: hmm it seems 3.8.0 is the newest kernel that 13.04 will get, assuming you're fully upgraded, you might have to install a newer kernel to fix this issue, but that would be beyond my experience level | 18:52 |

| daftykins | ITAL0: sure but are you installing virtualbox through a download or from the repos? | 18:54 |
| ITAL0 | daftykins, | must I install ubuntu and try again ? what is the better relese to run VM | 18:54 |
| ITAL0 | from download, from repos it was more old | 18:54 |
| ITAL0 | let me see repos have 4.1.18 | 18:55 |
| daftykins | ITAL0: i have a feeling you have to download the v3.x.x kernel source, then symlink the path it said was missing to that source folder - but that would be more of a hack and probably not the supported method | 18:55 |
| * ITAL0 daftykins so the different kernels link update is a problem | 18:57 | |

| Zal | mrrcp, no clue here, but I suggest asking your specific question to the channel. Actually, I suggest you try #irssi instead. | 19:03 |
| mrrcp | its not a irssi issue | 19:04 |
| Zal | how do you know? | 19:04 |
| mrrcp | because i know | 19:04 |
| Zal | oh, psychic! cool, good luck | 19:04 |
| arthurdent | ezra-s: i guess i meant initctl | 19:04 |
| mrrcp | its a screen or ubuntu issue | 19:05 |
| Zal | mrrcp, maybe someone else who is also psychic will answer your unasked question. | 19:05 |
| daftykins | semitones: is it read only mounted if you type "mount" ? | 19:05 |
| semitones | let me check | 19:06 |
| mrrcp | Zal duck a sick | 19:07 |
| semitones | daftykins, it does not appear on mount | 19:07 |
| eer | What is the difference between pts and tty? | 19:07 |
| Tylertwo | semitones, Has it always been read-only? | 19:07 |
| semitones | Tylertwo, no not always. I tried reformatting it with dd, and after that it was read only | 19:08 |
| OerHeks | eer A tty is a native terminal device, pty is pseudo terminal device | 19:08 |
| === ThePaRaDoX is now known as zz_ThePaRaDoX | ||
| eer | OerHeks, what does that mean? | 19:09 |
| Tylertwo | semitones, I did the same thing once. I solved by using gparted to wipe the usb and that made it writeable again | 19:09 |
| kostkon | mrrcp, the pcskr module is not loaded in ubuntu and for the one emulated by libcanberra/pulseaudio i think there isn't a file associated with that by default in ubuntu/ubuntu's audio theme | 19:09 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | don't suppose you folks would be willing to assist in the creation of a hirens boot usb? | 19:09 |
| OerHeks | eer, pty (pseudo terminal device) is a terminal device which is emulated by an other program (example: xterm, screen, or ssh are such programs) | 19:09 |
| kostkon | event* | 19:09 |
| semitones | Tylertwo, daftykins , I initially tried gparted, but it won't touch the drive either, because /dev/sdb is read only | 19:09 |
| mrrcp | kostkon: do you know of a site or a fix ? | 19:10 |
| daftykins | semitones: nasty, i take it there are no physical switches to write protect on the device? | 19:10 |
| semitones | there are none, but good call | 19:10 |
| eer | OerHeks, and tty is what I get when I press control+alt+f1 for example? | 19:10 |
| semitones | maybe some hardware is broken, acting as a physical switch would | 19:10 |
| OerHeks | eer yes | 19:10 |
| eer | OerHeks, thx | 19:11 |
| daftykins | semitones: do you have another OS you could write a new partition table with? | 19:11 |
| Tylertwo | semitones, What is the error message gparted gives you? | 19:11 |
| semitones | daftykins, I tried with windows first and it said read only. I'm starting to think it's just irreversibly broken | 19:12 |
| semitones | Tylertwo, at first gparted said IO error. I don't know what it would say now | 19:12 |
| kostkon | mrrcp, not really. either try loading the module or try to add a file for the beep event or whatever is called in your sound settings if you have ubuntu i guess there shouls be a sound effects tab there | 19:12 |
| booh | Since I update, I have this problem :ubuntu gave up waiting for root device: and trying to enter in busybox but fail too with something about modeprobe timemout. | 19:12 |
| Tylertwo | semitones, Try it again and see? | 19:13 |
| daftykins | semitones: hmm i have heard flash drives die into a read only state, but there's also a lot of talk on google results of this situation. you're not the first to ask too | 19:13 |
| mrrcp | screw it | 19:13 |
| daftykins | semitones: my favourite Windows command is running 'diskpart' followed by 'clean' to nuke any trace. worth giving that a go? | 19:13 |
| semitones | writing that down | 19:14 |
| daftykins | semitones: well, you have to select the chosen disk before 'clean' :D | 19:14 |
| daftykins | semitones: so run diskpart, eventually a prompt comes up - then "list disk", look in the table for the appropriate device based on size in MB, then "select disk #" where # = a number value from the table, then 'clean' on its' own | 19:14 |
| daftykins | ugh why do i always mix my quotes | 19:15 |
| semitones | daftykins, yeah gparted says IO error still. | 19:15 |
| semitones | Thanks for helping me troubleshoot this, I'm pretty sure it's broken now if gparted keeps getting that error | 19:15 |
| honestemu | How does one get xdotool to open applications in a specific workspace? | 19:16 |
| Tylertwo | semitones, Maybe it's different for us since I wrote the dd to sdb1 and you wrote it to sdb | 19:16 |
| honestemu | I checked the manpage, but the command that allows me to do that, isn't working. | 19:17 |
| daftykins | semitones: ah, that was a windows program though (diskpart) ok, last idea would be USB ports on the motherboard or not (if it's a desktop). | 19:17 |

| arthurdent | dry[1]: you have 64 bit java installed only, i'm pretty sure | 19:28 |
| superjoe | I'm wondering if that is using 3.0 or if somehow it's using a different opengl version | 19:28 |
| arthurdent | dry[1]: or you are missing 32-bit opengl libraries | 19:28 |
| daftykins | superjoe: what's the benefit to knowing? | 19:28 |

| SonikkuAmerica | Quick question: Can the mini.iso be used to upgrade existing Ubuntu installs, or only to perform clean installs? | 19:32 |
| ikonia | SonikkuAmerica: it's mini - it has nothing on it | 19:32 |
| === mrrcp is now known as Two4Ten | ||
| SonikkuAmerica | ikonia: I guess that answers my question... I guess I should ask "is the way the mini.iso works capable of upgrading existing installs? | 19:34 |
| SonikkuAmerica | " | 19:34 |
| ikonia | SonikkuAmerica: how would that happen ? there is no data on it, it pulls things from the internet | 19:34 |
| kordis | Hi, I just installed Xubuntu and mb sb can explain me why when I write apt-get update and then upgrade it says everything is installed, but software center says there are 7 more possible updates | 19:34 |
| === Two4Ten is now known as mrrcp | ||
| kordis | I thought apt-get checks everything and upgrades it | 19:34 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ikonia: And the rephrase game goes on... I know it just pulls stuff from the Internet, but can the install process detect and give the option to upgrade an existing install? | 19:35 |
| Tylertwo | kordis, This might help: http://askubuntu.com/questions/141119/what-is-the-equivalent-terminal-command-of-update-manager | 19:35 |
| zykotic10 | kordis: using apt-get you need "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to install everything (like the GUI does by default) | 19:36 |
| ikonia | SonikkuAmerica: what are you talking about ??? you just use update-manager | 19:36 |
| ikonia | SonikkuAmerica: why do you need the mini-iso to do that | 19:36 |
| superjoe | kordis, I believe that the updates which require restart (such as new kernel versions) are not installed with the upgrade command | 19:36 |
| ikonia | or why are you even considering the mini iso | 19:36 |
| daftykins | SonikkuAmerica: what's the plan? are you trying to use supplied offline packages? | 19:36 |
| superjoe | kordis, but you can use "dist-upgrade" to include those | 19:36 |
| kostkon | kordis, maybe it's a case of partial upgrade so you need the dist-upgrade cmd | 19:36 |
| kostkon | kordis, the update manager in ubuntu prompts you for a partial upgrade in cases e.g. when a pacakge is to be removed and replaced by another that has a different name, major jumps in versions etc | 19:39 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ikonia, daftykins: Well, ... my situation is rather awkward... the hardware I'm running has a dead fan, and my new computer is getting repaired. Performing a release upgrade cia [ do-release-upgrade -d ] (to 13.10 RC that is) would take longer than the system has before the temp sensor detects a burning CPU and switches the computer off. Granted that the mini.iso uses a CLI equivalent to pull stuff from the Net, I'd figure that | 19:40 |
| antar | Hi people my skype sound is so bad on ubuntu ? | 19:40 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ikonia, daftykins: ... be able to complete itself. See what I mean? | 19:40 |
| daftykins | SonikkuAmerica: surely upgrading is a bad idea then? :) | 19:40 |
| daftykins | SonikkuAmerica: surely drive substitution to another system would be more successful? | 19:40 |
| ikonia | SonikkuAmerica: it doesn't work like that, and it would cause the same overheaing | 19:40 |
| ikonia | SonikkuAmerica: the load will be from the checking of the packages, not running a gui | 19:41 |
| kostkon | antar, you need to clarify which one, the one you are receiving or the one you are sending | 19:41 |
| antar | Guys | 19:41 |
| ikonia | SonikkuAmerica: to be honest, I believe it would be unwise to upgrade to a development version while suffering a hardware problem, it's asking for trouble | 19:41 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ikonia, daftykins: Well, I won't try to argue against hardware reasoning... it was a shot... I guess 13.04 will be the last OS this hardware sees. | 19:41 |
| antar | kostkon, The one that i am receive | 19:41 |
| kostkon | antar, ok | 19:41 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ikonia, daftykins: (After all, I got a C- in a hardware class) Thanks anyway. | 19:42 |
| ikonia | SonikkuAmerica: do-release-upgrade pulls stuff from the net, the same speed as the mini-iso would pull it from the net, so you'd still hit the same time limit problem | 19:42 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ikonia: I would think, however, running a GUI would put more load on the overall MB temperature though (as it's doing now) | 19:43 |
| ikonia | SonikkuAmerica: you'd still hit the same issue when the packages install and the cpu load goes through the roof doing verification | 19:43 |
| antar | kostkon, Where are you | 19:43 |
| Valdus | all: hi, i installed kubuntu and xubuntu and now my bootup time is like 3 times longer, so i tried to uninstall them but i don't think i got everything. does anyone have a good guide on how to eradicate everything related to kubuntu and xubuntu? i googled around but nothing does it 100% yet | 19:44 |
| ikonia | SonikkuAmerica: instead of using the mini-iso you could simple shutdown X to prove this, but you'll hit the same issues in my view | 19:44 |
| daftykins | i agree with ikonia, update installation is just too intensive | 19:44 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ikonia: Typically killing the X server seems to help... maybe I should time it. Thank you and daftykins for your help though. | 19:45 |

| kostkon | sunny_le, what's your cpu | 20:07 |
| zykotic10 | sunny_le: does your CPU support virtualization? if it does, you really DO want qemu-kvm - it's MUCH faster | 20:07 |

| Dwarf | Yes | 20:46 |
| nopf | Dwarf: in extreme cases you could have luck with gnome-alsamixer, it has much more buttons than the normal sound controls... | 20:47 |
| Dwarf | CLI alsamixer has all settings iirc | 20:47 |
| arthurdent | bekks: I don't use ubuntu personally, i just maintain it for a bunch of other machines, the distro just symlinks sh to bash, so source works fine. | 20:48 |
| arthurdent | the distro I use* | 20:48 |
| nopf | Dwarf: yeah, should be the same. so you have tried that? sometimes it's a strange combination of ~3 switches in the correct order to get to the wanted result | 20:48 |
| Dwarf | I've checked everything, pretty sure that loading the snd-hda-intel will fix it, altho it has been a while since I've fiddled with it so I'm looking up the syntax now | 20:48 |
| BluesKaj | Dwarf, sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel | 20:52 |

| BluesKaj | Dwarf, pavucontrol might help with the HP settings/device outputs | 20:54 |
| Dwarf | I'm using alsa | 20:54 |
| Nerve | what's alsa? | 20:54 |
| kostkon | Dwarf, did you remove pulse or using lubuntu | 20:55 |
| BluesKaj | Dwarf, alsa needs pavucontrol , it's setup as a gui for the pulsdeaudio sound server , a necessary evil :P | 20:55 |
| Dwarf | I only installed the base ubuntu system and installed MATE | 20:56 |
| Dwarf | Which uses alsa | 20:56 |
| Dwarf | afaik | 20:56 |
| Ben64 | dwarf: mate is not supported here | 20:56 |
| BluesKaj | Dwarf, run pulseaudio in the terminal , see what results | 20:56 |
| kostkon | Dwarf, it does? actually pulse sits on top of alsa, doesn't replace it | 20:56 |
| kostkon | Dwarf, ps -A | grep pulse | 20:56 |
| Dwarf | BluesKaj: No such command, kostkon: Nothing | 20:57 |
| kostkon | not even ps?! | 20:57 |

| BluesKaj | Dwarf, so you purged it ? | 20:58 |
| Dwarf | I never installed it | 20:58 |
| Ben64 | Dwarf: its installed by default on ubuntu, are you sure you have ubuntu and not mint | 20:59 |
| BluesKaj | it should install bt default | 20:59 |

| Guest83138 | hello | 20:59 |
| joncam | Hello ubuntu-folk! I'm looking to buy a new laptop, and am rather picky in the hardware specs. I'm mostly looking at Lenovos; and cross-checking hardware against the official lists and such. I'd love any recommendations of other vendors that have great hardware that tends to be Linux-friendly | 20:59 |
| Dwarf | Of course you can, ubuntu is ubuntu, the desktop environment is in no way a deciding factor, Ben64 | 21:00 |
| bekks | !hcl | joncam | 21:00 |
| Ben64 | yes it is | 21:00 |
| ubottu | joncam: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 21:00 |
| Guest83138 | hallo | 21:00 |
| ikonia | Dwarf: it is when it's a 3rd party repo that pulls in different dependencies | 21:00 |
| joncam | bekks: Thanks, I'm checking against that, but it tends to be out of date; and not exactly friendly to use | 21:01 |
| Dwarf | So if I were to boot without GUI and my sound still did the same you could support me? | 21:01 |
| Dwarf | Cause if that's the case I'll boot without starting X | 21:01 |
| ikonia | Dwarf: no, as your 3rd party repo still pulls in those dependencies | 21:01 |

| kostkon | Dwarf, usually the kernel creates an event when you od it that then gets picked up by pulse. i don't know what happens at the alsa level though | 21:16 |

| ampw | is there another way to change a file into an executable file | 21:40 |
| CyclicFlux | Hello all!!! | 21:40 |
| ampw | chmod +x does this? | 21:40 |
| CyclicFlux | I had a bit of a problem, and though I know a few ways of fixing it, I wanted to get a few opinions on the best. | 21:41 |
| bekks | ampw: chmod +x sets the executable bit. It doesnt magically change the file contents. What are you trying to do? | 21:41 |
| CyclicFlux | During my upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10. The power at my house went off, thus cutting the power to the machine. Thus, interrupting mid upgrade. | 21:41 |

| Tylertwo | ampw, yes, there are other ways than chmod +x | 21:42 |
| CyclicFlux | Ben64: Could woulda shoulda | 21:42 |
| CyclicFlux | Can I do a chroot, with my old 12.04 cd, and then continue the upgrade, or perhaps do it via the recovery mode | 21:43 |

| lesshaste | what's the nice way to add a ppa such as this one? https://launchpad.net/~pypy/+archive/ppa | 21:43 |

| OerHeks | lesshaste, ppa:pypy/ppa | 21:44 |
| Ben64 | lesshaste: the exact command is on the page you linked to... | 21:44 |
| iceroot | lesshaste: You can update your system with unsupported packages from this untrusted PPA by adding ppa:pypy/ppa to your system's Software Sources. | 21:44 |

| lesshaste | thanks alll | 21:45 |
| lesshaste | sorry I didn't see it | 21:45 |
| iceroot | eer: man visudo | 21:45 |
| bekks | eer: visudo is used for editing /etc/sudoers | 21:45 |
| eer | yes, I understand but why not just use vi or nano? WHen using visudo I don't see a difference | 21:45 |
| iceroot | eer: man visudo | 21:46 |
| iceroot | eer: its the first sentence | 21:46 |
| iceroot | eer: why you should use visudo and not vim or nano | 21:46 |
| rubio | quit | 21:47 |
| MonkeyDust | eer visudo uses the default editor, similar to 'sudo -e' | 21:47 |
| raub | eer: I honestly do not know. I myself just use vi. | 21:48 |
| raub | I do know vipw does try to remind you to also go mess with shadow, but sometimes I do not want to so it is annoying | 21:48 |
| iceroot | raub: never edit sudoers, passwd or shadow directly with an editor | 21:48 |
| eer | Got it. Thx | 21:48 |
| iceroot | raub: always use these tools like visudo | 21:48 |
| raub | iceroot: why? What do they do in addition to call the editor? And, in the case of vipw, want you to edit shadow too? | 21:49 |
| iceroot | raub: man visudo | 21:49 |
| iceroot | raub: as mentionend before, the first sentence explains very good why you should not edit these files directly | 21:50 |
| gordonjcp | raub: there's a bunch of sanity checking going on too | 21:50 |
| iceroot | raub: the same for man vipw | 21:50 |
| iceroot | man vigr and so on | 21:51 |
| gordonjcp | raub: if you edit with just vim and make a mess of it, you can lock yourself out of the system pretty easily | 21:51 |
| janisozaur | hi, a project i'm interested in (in c++) is taking really long to compile. is it possible to inspect what takes the compiler so long to process? | 21:51 |
| iceroot | janisozaur: ##c++, #gcc | 21:51 |
| gordonjcp | janisozaur: well if you examine the console messages, you'll see what it's currently working on | 21:52 |
| gordonjcp | janisozaur: some things have huge source files with lots of includes, which take a long time to grind through | 21:52 |
| raub | gordonjcp: Ok, I can accept the sanity check part. | 21:52 |
| raub | Kinda like using ldapvi | 21:53 |
| gordonjcp | raub: same sort of idea | 21:53 |
| eer | Anybody knows where one can change the Sudo editor permanently? Meaning edit the SUDO_EDITOR environment variable? | 21:53 |
| kostkon | eer, add it in your .bashrc? | 21:53 |
| gordonjcp | raub: one of the main reasons for using vipw, visudo and friends, and doing stuff like setting root passwords is that although it'll work, eventually you'll break something | 21:53 |
| kostkon | or maybe not. not sure | 21:53 |
| gordonjcp | raub: and then we'll all point and laugh | 21:53 |
| gordonjcp | *not setting | 21:54 |
| raub | gordonjcp: me included. I have no problems laughing at meself ;) | 21:54 |
| gordonjcp | raub: root logins are obsolete | 21:54 |
| iceroot | eer: Note that this can be a security hole since it allows the user to execute any program they wish simply by setting VISUAL or EDITOR. | 21:54 |
| gordonjcp | we've had sudo for 20-odd years | 21:54 |
| gordonjcp | iceroot: only with their own privs though | 21:54 |
| iceroot | eer: its disabled by default and need to be enabled during the compile | 21:54 |
| iceroot | gordonjcp: you always run visudo as root of course | 21:55 |
| gordonjcp | iceroot: right | 21:55 |
| iceroot | gordonjcp: so you can execute everything by just setting another editor | 21:55 |
| janisozaur | gordonjcp, the point is that each translation unit is taking looooong, so it is not something isolated to one file only | 21:55 |
| gordonjcp | iceroot: but you're root already | 21:55 |
| iceroot | gordonjcp: or you can "trick" the admin by setting up something bad in the editor variable | 21:55 |
| gordonjcp | iceroot: ie. you have to be root to run visudo | 21:56 |
| gordonjcp | iceroot: since you're already root, you can already run whatever weirdass binary you like | 21:56 |
| iceroot | gordonjcp: i will execute visudo and someone was making fun and set editor with rm -r "something bad" | 21:56 |
| gordonjcp | iceroot: but you can't set the editor for the root session | 21:56 |
| gordonjcp | iceroot: not unless you're root | 21:56 |
| janisozaur | gordonjcp, although based on the sole warning spitted out after (almost) every one of them, they might be doing some heavy includes there... | 21:57 |
| iceroot | gordonjcp: and? | 21:57 |
| gordonjcp | iceroot: so, your | 21:57 |
| gordonjcp | iceroot: so, your "security hole" really relies on anyone exploiting it already being root | 21:57 |
| gordonjcp | iceroot: which is a bit like saying that your car has a security hole, because if you have your car keys you can unlock it | 21:57 |
| iceroot | gordonjcp: i can also set the editor to "rm -r /home-of-someone" and someone is executing visudo as non-root and then he was an empty home, its like messing around with bad aliases | 21:58 |
| ikonia | if you set EDITOR to an invalid editor it will not execute | 21:58 |
| ikonia | it has to be a valid editor | 21:58 |
| ikonia | if they are not root they can't execute visudo | 21:58 |
| gordonjcp | iceroot: you can set it *only* for your session | 21:59 |
| ikonia | iceroot: you are trying to make a problem out of one that does not exist | 21:59 |
| iceroot | ikonia: like vim -c -e rm -r /something bad? | 21:59 |
| ikonia | iceroot: no, sorry, that's not an exceptable example | 21:59 |
| iceroot | ikonia: i am just refering to the manpage | 21:59 |
| ewol | hi | 21:59 |
| ewol | how do I install java for linux? | 21:59 |
| gordonjcp | !java | ewol | 22:00 |
| ubottu | ewol: 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. | 22:00 |
| iceroot | ikonia: Note that this can be a security hole since it allows the user to execute any program they wish simply by setting VISUAL or EDITOR. | 22:00 |
| ikonia | iceroot: yes, and I'm just advising you, you are trying to make a problem out of something that doesn't exist | 22:00 |
| ikonia | iceroot: so ? | 22:00 |
| ikonia | iceroot: what do you acually want done | 22:00 |
| gordonjcp | iceroot: it's not much of a security hole, though | 22:00 |
| gordonjcp | iceroot: you can set EDITOR to something *in your session* | 22:00 |
| iceroot | ikonia: i think that warning is there for a good reason, if i am looking how some exploits are working i would not say "its not a problem" | 22:00 |
| gordonjcp | iceroot: but you can run it anyway | 22:00 |
| gordonjcp | iceroot: you can't fiddle about with the root user's EDITOR variable | 22:01 |
| ikonia | iceroot: it isn't a problem for multiple reasons | 22:01 |
| iceroot | ok | 22:01 |
| iceroot | who cares | 22:01 |
| gordonjcp | iceroot: if you have a malicious user who has root, it would work but then you've got bigger problems anyway | 22:01 |
| iceroot | i dont use visudo, was just refering to the manpage | 22:01 |
| ikonia | iceroot: and again - why are you raising it, what do you want this channel to do about it ? | 22:01 |
| iceroot | ikonia: i was answering the question "why is visudo not using the editor variable by default" | 22:02 |
| ikonia | iceroot: have you actually looked if visudo is compiled with the --witn-env-editor option ? | 22:02 |
| iceroot | ikonia: because it is disabled and i was naming the reason | 22:02 |
| ikonia | iceroot: ah, so you're just flagging that it's not actually a problem as that compile option is not used ? | 22:02 |
| iceroot | ikonia: on my debian its not, on ubuntu i dont know | 22:02 |
| ikonia | iceroot: my apologies, I thought you where trying to raise it as an actual issue | 22:02 |
| iceroot | ikonia: no | 22:02 |

| swaagie | wilee-nilee: see comment @ https://gist.github.com/Swaagie/6927340 | 23:41 |

| Timkanpy | I am stucked on a message about ttf-mscorefonts-installer after I tried to install the package | 23:42 |

| wilee-nilee | swaagie, Please post every command with the lists, I never use wine I just use windows apps in windows. | 23:43 |
| swaagie | wilee-nilee: likewise, only not in this case :) what do you mean with every command btw? | 23:44 |
| swaagie | im not specifically after wine btw, more after skype, but that failed due to other i386 deps and now everything seems to resolve to that, I can retry everything I did with skype ofc | 23:45 |
