| bennypr0fane_ | hello, can someone help me with Wine? I have a Windows application called Electronics Workbench which does start in my rather fresh installation of Ubuntu Gnome 13.04, but not in regular Ubuntu. I need to used it in Ubuntu for now though. How can I check what's wrong | 00:01 |
| reisio | bennypr0fane_: it's unlikely Unity vs GNOME is the relevant difference | 00:01 |
| reisio | bennypr0fane_: these are two separate installations? | 00:01 |
| Dr_Willis | http://www.maketecheasier.com/change-console-fonts-in-ubuntu perhaps glycan | 00:02 |

| clifter | Hi - Running Ubuntu 13.10 - Missing the Log-off, Shutdown icon in top right corner of desktop. Have Terminal before. What is best way to get back to default panel ? ? | 00:02 |
| zykotick9 | glycan: that's called "console" or "linux console", a TTY is ANY terminal... | 00:03 |
| bennypr0fane_ | reisio, yes, separate. And that's what I was thinking, the desktop shouldn't make a difference | 00:03 |
| reisio | glycan: I call it 'outside of X' | 00:03 |
| reisio | bennypr0fane_: and likely isn't | 00:03 |
| reisio | bennypr0fane_: it's probably some other difference | 00:04 |
| reisio | bennypr0fane_: what does the output in a terminal say? | 00:04 |
| Dr_Willis | glycan: /etc/default/console-setup has settings also. | 00:04 |
| bennypr0fane_ | reisio, for what command? | 00:04 |
| reisio | bennypr0fane_: whatever wine command you're using | 00:04 |

| wilee-nilee | clifter, 13.10 is on #ubuntu+1 for a couple more days till released. | 00:06 |
| zykotick9 | glycan: fyi, i doubt unicode is possible... i always get squares :( | 00:06 |
| Dr_Willis | glycan: for the console. check out fbterm it allows extra features by using the framebuffer-console | 00:06 |
| Dr_Willis | !info fbterm | 00:06 |
| ubottu | fbterm (source: fbterm): A fast framebuffer based terminal emulator for Linux. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.7-2 (raring), package size 59 kB, installed size 184 kB | 00:06 |

| Dr_Willis | i THINK i might have seen unicode characters with fbterm on the console while useing weechat in here. | 00:07 |
| bennypr0fane_ | reisio, I'm not using it from the command line, I just go to the .exe file in the file manager, right-click and choose "open with Wine Windows- application Starter" | 00:07 |
| bennypr0fane_ | I can start other windows apps though in regular Ubuntu | 00:07 |
| jubale | What do you mean by 'other windows apps'? | 00:08 |
| bennypr0fane_ | reisio, btw I'm talking about 2 different installs of Ubuntu on the same computer | 00:08 |
| Dr_Willis | i tend to run wine/windows apps in terminal bennypr0fane_ - because if often tehres error messages you may not see if you just 'double click' | 00:08 |
| bennypr0fane_ | jubale e.g. I can launch a Win pdf viewer, but not this other program "Electronics Workbench" | 00:09 |
| Infandum | If I install Ubuntu 13.10 now, can I update it to the REAL Ubuntu 13.10 when it's released? | 00:09 |
| bennypr0fane_ | Dr_Willis, I don't know how to do that in terminal | 00:09 |
| wilee-nilee | Infandum, yes and 13.10 till then is #ubuntu+1 | 00:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Infandum: of course you can. | 00:09 |
| Dr_Willis | bennypr0fane_: wine /the/path/to/the/whtever.exe | 00:10 |
| bennypr0fane_ | aha | 00:10 |
| Infandum | Dr_Willis: How can I do that? Will it pop up with a message? | 00:10 |
| acovrig | I installed and drivers from amd.org (not apt-get) because I was trying a friend's card, and now I can't get a GUI (w/my nvidia card) | 00:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Infandum: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade will do it also. | 00:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Infandum: its ust a typical update/upgrade.. | 00:10 |
| Infandum | DR_Willis: Thank you! | 00:10 |
| jubale | bennypr0fane: How are you attempting to launch the application? | 00:10 |
| bennypr0fane_ | jubale I said so above | 00:11 |
| bennypr0fane_ | what's the keybd shortcut to launch terminal? | 00:11 |

| BarryBlack | great i fixed it | 00:17 |
| acovrig | Graphics seem just fine for lightdm, however when I login, I have a cursor, but nothing else, I see it is trying to display gnome-terminal (startup item) but isn't showing the entire window and I don't think I can interact with it | 00:17 |
| BarryBlack | that was just enourmously stupid | 00:17 |
| Dr_Willis | acovrig: try making a new user - and see if the new user has the same issues | 00:19 |
| bennypr0fane_ | hm not sure I understand this output. So maybe it can't find those libraries? | 00:19 |
| acovrig | Dr_Willis: I tried the guest session and I just get the default background and mouse, upon pressing <super> I get a red screen with a mouse yet there appears to be a window (the way the cursor changes to a resize window icon thing, yet I don't see a window) | 00:21 |
| Dr_Willis | acovrig: so the guest user has teh same issue., may as well test with a totally new made user 'sudo adduser billgates' if that user also has the same issue. that points to a driver/Config issue with the driver or compiz | 00:22 |
| acovrig | Dr_Willis: do you know what the drivers would be called for me to uninstall from AMD (I tried dpkg -l | grep -i "fglrx\|AMD" and didn't see anything) | 00:23 |
| Dr_Willis | acovrig: i dont use ati unless i have to. this whole 'compiz/unity dosent totally load' is sadly a rather common problem i see in here with ati, and nvidia. and even intel at times. | 00:24 |
| Dr_Willis | acovrig: lot of the time its the users config files that are messed up. wheich is why i asked if a newly made user worked. | 00:24 |
| === milkuser is now known as sudomilk | ||
| acovrig | Dr_Willis: yea, the new user has the same issue (I have to Ctrl+Alt+F2, skill to logout) and I have the nvidia drivers installed (current card), I just installed the AMD drivers when I was temporarily in a system with AMD instead of Nvidia. | 00:25 |
| commie | what's up? apt-get is giving me a funny error (/var/cache/apt/archives/squid-prefetch_1.1-3_all.deb: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1). how do i fix this so i can apt-get remove the offending pkg? | 00:25 |
| acovrig | Dr_Willis: would 'apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-settings' help? | 00:26 |
| Dr_Willis | acovrig: you had ati and amd both in that box? you did remove teh drivers for one card befor installing the other? | 00:26 |
| Dr_Willis | acovrig: run the nvidia-settings tool to see if the nvidia drivers are even in use. | 00:26 |
| acovrig | Dr_Willis: I normally am using Nvidia (as I am trying to now) but was temporarily in an AMD system (so I have both drivers installed) how do I uninstall the AMD drivers (nothing fglrx* is installed) and set nvidia as the default? | 00:28 |
| Dr_Willis | Im not even sure :) i never mixx the 2 | 00:28 |
| Marlenee | what is "RX" "TX" mean in bmon tool ?? | 00:28 |
| commie | ... no basic apt-support here? can i get another channel suggested? | 00:29 |
| Dr_Willis | sudo apt-get purge fgl<tab> perhaps :) if you can see whts installed Its possible one of the drivers blacklisted some modles | 00:29 |
| Rena | Marlenee, probably receive and transmit | 00:29 |
| acovrig | Dr_Willis: I tried apt-get purge 'fgl*' and it said none was installed. | 00:30 |
| cbilljones | i need to run a vnc server that runs on boot and gives me a shared session(need to see what user sees on other end) | 00:30 |
| Dr_Willis | cbilljones: run a vncserver from /etc/rc.local as the user you need, then both of you can vnc-viewer into the session | 00:31 |
| bennypr0fane_ | can anyone help me make sense of that output? | 00:31 |
| bennypr0fane_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6238435/ | 00:31 |
| cbilljones | dr_willis will that allow me to connect at login screen? i need that as well | 00:31 |
| Dr_Willis | cbilljones: you will need to set the vncsession to run lightdm i imagine then | 00:32 |
| sgehrman | Just installed 13.10 and my xmodmap to swap the ctrl and alt keys doesn't work. What's the best way to do this? | 00:32 |
| Dr_Willis | cbilljones: but then that may cause issues with users connecting to it. | 00:32 |
| Dr_Willis | cbilljones: ive seen it done befor like that in the past. but if all users logged out. the session would end. | 00:33 |
| cbilljones | dr_willis that is the issue i have now | 00:33 |
| cbilljones | dr_williams i need to be able to vnc in, logout, and log back in to differant session | 00:34 |
| commie | what's up? apt-get is giving me a funny error (/var/cache/apt/archives/squid-prefetch_1.1-3_all.deb: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1). how do i fix this so i can apt-get remove the offending pkg? | 00:34 |
| Dr_Willis | cbilljones: ive seen setups where you vnc in = get a new session each time. old ones close out when you exit. | 00:34 |
| Dr_Willis | cbilljones: freenx also can work that way | 00:34 |
| acovrig | run vncserver in a while:; loop? | 00:34 |
| Dr_Willis | ive seen guides ages ago about getting vncserver spawning from init, or as a service | 00:35 |
| Dr_Willis | not noticed any updated guides recently. I dont need the feature | 00:35 |
| cbilljones | dr_williams i think i need from init or something for what i need | 00:35 |
| Dr_Willis | if i want vnc session, i ssh in, run vncserver, then connect. | 00:35 |
| acovrig | I personally do a ssh -L5901:localhost:5900 and run x11vnc (so x11vnc vs vncserver) | 00:36 |
| jrib | commie: my suggestion is to use "set -x" in the pre-removal script and debug the error | 00:36 |
| cbilljones | dr_williams that works for most scenarios, but mine is kind of unique | 00:36 |
| Dr_Willis | i rarely want to see the current visible desktop. ;) | 00:36 |
| commie | jrib, i don't understand that | 00:37 |
| cbilljones | dr_williams these are point of sale devices, when i get support call i need to see what they see, and sometimes fix things, then i usually want to exist and login to a full dm, all they get is a very basic unity with no panel/launcher | 00:38 |
| acovrig | if I manually change xorg.conf does 'service lightdm restart' do the trick, or should I reboot? | 00:38 |
| cbilljones | dr_williams i can bring up term with ctrl+alt+t, i suppose thats sufficient | 00:38 |
| Dr_Willis | cbilljones: vnc over the internet is a big security (BIG BIG) hole. unless you use a ssh tunel | 00:38 |
| commie | jrib: i'm just trying to get apt to do it (or synaptic) but both fail. what is this setting flags? in my apt-line? | 00:38 |
| Dr_Willis | cbilljones: so id say its best to setup ssh and do it that way | 00:39 |
| cbilljones | dr_williams these arnt on net, i need to logmein to windows box and lan and vnc from there | 00:39 |
| acovrig | Has anyone gotten Ubuntu 13 to boot on a MacBook Pro 9,2 using the intel graphics (instead of the GPU) so the battery doesn't die so fast? | 00:40 |
| Dr_Willis | if you want to see their CURRENT desktop. that would be x11vnc. or vino. | 00:40 |
| cbilljones | dr_williams i may try x11vnc, with vino i cant seem to get to work at login screen | 00:40 |
| cbilljones | dr_williams and user doesnt have keyboard or even password to login | 00:41 |
| Dr_Willis | you use x11vnc OR vini | 00:41 |
| Dr_Willis | vino | 00:41 |
| Dr_Willis | dependng on what desktop/window manager you are using | 00:41 |
| cbilljones | dr_williams well its lightdm at login, unity after.. default ubuntu setup | 00:42 |
| acovrig | Where does ccsm (CompizConfig Settings Manager) keep the settings? | 00:42 |
| Dr_Willis | acovrig: ~/.compiz i belive or in .config/ | 00:42 |
| sgehrman | Just installed 13.10 and my xmodmap to swap the ctrl and alt keys doesn't work. What's the best way to do this? | 00:42 |
| jrib | commie: pastebin full input and output | 00:42 |
| acovrig | Dr_Willis: ~/.compiz-1 (cuz I don't have .compiz)? I got graphics with 'apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-common' however all my ccsm settings are gone... | 00:43 |
| wilee-nilee | sgehrman, #ubuntu+1 is the 13.10 channel till release. | 00:43 |

| commie | i have purged squid-prefetch 2x and squid | 00:44 |
| commie | and tried it w/ apt-get reinstall | 00:45 |
| wankman | Then I have to manually change it back to 1366x768 | 00:45 |
| acovrig | I copied .compiz-1 and it is still default, upon examining the folder, it isn't ccsm settings :/ | 00:45 |
| Dr_Willis | acovrig: personally id reset everything back to defaults and redo them . | 00:46 |
| mythri | does 1360 vs 1366 make a big difference? | 00:46 |
| acovrig | Dr_Willis: yea, that is what seems to have happened | 00:46 |
| Dr_Willis | I often find compiz and unity can get confused. and needs reset. ;) | 00:46 |

| Infandum | wilee-nilee: on the liveusb I mean | 01:25 |
| wilee-nilee | Infandum, I have never ran a install on a uefi computer, so I have no idea what the options are, I'm avoiding it as long as possible. | 01:25 |

| rypervenche | InFlames: You could make a simple bash script to do that, or simply manually move the files yourself. | 01:31 |
| cbilljones | wilee-nilee 13.04/unity | 01:31 |
| InFlames | rypervenche, if you view the screenshots it might give you a better idea of my intent and needs | 01:31 |
| InFlames | i'd prefer gui based | 01:32 |
| InFlames | something that can be manually handled by the menu | 01:32 |
| cbilljones | wilee-nilee but login is lightdm(default) | 01:32 |
| wilee-nilee | cbilljones, you logging from a cli? | 01:32 |
| wilee-nilee | cbilljones, Have you run the lightdm start to set it as default | 01:33 |
| rypervenche | InFlames: I saw that. You could make something GUI-based without too much hardship if you understand bash scripting. You could even make keyboard shortcuts to do the work for you, which would be even faster than a GUI. | 01:33 |
| cbilljones | wilee-nilee i am logging in from x11vnc-server atm, but was doing samething at office with local session only | 01:33 |
| InFlames | you can script and make something that's gui based? | 01:33 |
| InFlames | i will have to look into that | 01:34 |
| wilee-nilee | cbilljones, from the desktop sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm | 01:34 |
| cbilljones | wilee-nilee i have autologin enabled, after reboot it logs into whatever session was used last, i need it to always pick default | 01:34 |
| wilee-nilee | cbilljones, as long as you run it from the cli it will set it as default I believe, from the desktop or a cli probably. | 01:35 |
| wilee-nilee | desktop or tty | 01:36 |
| cbilljones | wilee-nilee it was doing same thing when i wasnt using vnc, standing right at it with keyboard | 01:36 |

| cbilljones | wilee-nilee i know replace that with my custom session | 01:46 |
| cbilljones | wilee-nilee i made the change and have rebooted, we will know soon ;) | 01:47 |
| cbilljones | wilee-nilee no go, rebooted to regular unity | 01:48 |
| tomswartz07 | cbilljones: you're trying to change lightdm's session? | 01:48 |
| tomswartz07 | i just did that the other day. let me peek at my notes. | 01:49 |
| cbilljones | tomswartz07 well the session lightdm logs into, i need it to always pick my default | 01:49 |
| tomswartz07 | right- so you have xfce installed (for example) and want to autologin to that? | 01:50 |
| cbilljones | tomswartz07 basically, its actually a custom unity session i have created, i can pick it from login screen and login, and if i reboot it autologs into that, however if i switch sessions and reboot, it boots into whatever i used last | 01:51 |
| tomswartz07 | cbilljones: righto. there's a way to hardcode the session into lightdm's config file | 01:52 |
| cbilljones | tomswartzo7 yes, thats what i need i think :) | 01:53 |
| tomswartz07 | /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | 01:53 |
| cbilljones | yup | 01:53 |
| dn4 | hey is 13.04 going to support a macbook pro 5,5 ? | 01:53 |
| dn4 | I noticed nothing was written up on it | 01:53 |
| cbilljones | tomswartz07 i is there, what command do i need in lightdm.conf? | 01:54 |
| tomswartz07 | change under the [seat defaults] section: user-session=<custom name> | 01:54 |
| tomswartz07 | double check your 'greeter session' as well | 01:54 |
| cbilljones | tomswartz07 user session is correct , unity-greeter is unity-greeter | 01:55 |
| cbilljones | tomswartz07 do i change unity-greeter to my session? | 01:55 |
| tomswartz07 | hm. I have unity-greeter removed completely. | 01:56 |
| tomswartz07 | wait. hang on | 01:56 |
| tomswartz07 | haha | 01:56 |
| tomswartz07 | yeah - greeter-session is unity-greeter. user-session is the custom name of the session. | 01:58 |
| SonikkuAmerica | You can use another greeter of course... | 01:58 |
| Dr_Willis | i sort of like the look of the xubuntu greeter. ;) | 01:59 |
| SonikkuAmerica | lightdm-gtk-greeter | 01:59 |
| cbilljones | tomswartz07 i have tried running "/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults --session [session name]" and rebooted, will see if that helps, though i think i did that already | 02:00 |

| cbilljones | tomswartz07 no, let me read it over | 02:08 |
| Dr_Willis | cbilljones: the users .dmrc sets what session they use by default overrideing the system default If the .dmrc file exists | 02:08 |

| === anonymous is now known as Guest64437 | ||
| Dr_Willis | mamece2: the file manager should show the sd card in its left side panel | 02:12 |
| cbilljones | dr_willis no, autologin is picking whatever i used last, and editing .dmrc on its own | 02:12 |
| Dr_Willis | mamece2: on a phone.. thats a differnt story | 02:12 |
| Dr_Willis | cbilljones: log out. select what you want, log back in.. then check the .dmrc file | 02:12 |
| tomswartz07 | mamece2: you might need MPD support for the new filesystem | 02:13 |
| Dr_Willis | auto login SHOULD be using the last the user selected. | 02:13 |
| allengreen | yes, But I don't wanna install the linux-image. | 02:13 |
| Dr_Willis | and the last they selected they should have saved in their .dmrc | 02:13 |
| mamece2 | I though i just need to mount the sd card and voila | 02:13 |
| Dr_Willis | mamece2: easiest thing to do with android devuces is to use 'airdroid' and wifi to get to files | 02:13 |

| Dr_Willis | cbilljones: the user CAN log out and select a differnt session. that should then set their default for the next autologin | 02:15 |
| cbilljones | dr_willis it changes to whatever was used last | 02:15 |
| cbilljones | dr_willis i know, that doesnt help me | 02:15 |
| cbilljones | dr_willis i need it to always login to default session on reboot | 02:16 |
| cbilljones | regardless of what was used last | 02:16 |
| Dr_Willis | cbilljones: delete the users .dmrc file | 02:16 |
| Dr_Willis | and perhaps link it to /dev/null ;) | 02:16 |
| cbilljones | dr_willis what if i make file read only, think that will work? | 02:17 |
| Dr_Willis | No idea. I dont see why selecting the default session wouldent do what you want. | 02:17 |
| Dr_Willis | how many desktop sessions do you have anyway? | 02:17 |
| gueriLLaPunK | what program do you guys recommend for benchmarking a SSD? | 02:18 |
| cbilljones | dr_willis, selecting it does, but user doesnt get to select, or even know the password for that matter | 02:18 |
| cbilljones | dr_willis, there is 2 session, regular ubuntu, and POS(default) | 02:18 |
| Dr_Willis | cbilljones: from what ive seen if the user logs out from his auto login session, he can then select a differnt one. could be you dont have the POS session set up correctly. | 02:18 |
| Dr_Willis | if the user selected POS then that should get entered into the .dmrc file and then be the users new default | 02:19 |
| cbilljones | dr_willis he can do that already, i dont want him logging out ever | 02:19 |
| Dr_Willis | should i point out that i have seen KOISK/POS focused disrtos that may allready solve most of your issues. ;) | 02:20 |

| tomswartz07 | emphasis on *should& | 02:24 |
| wilee-nilee | juzpeng, Windows 8? | 02:24 |

| Anonynimity | lol wrong channel | 02:26 |
| cbilljones | tomswartz07 hmm that sounds scary, lol. Will that screw up any permissions ive setup? | 02:26 |
| tomswartz07 | it'd be a lot safer to make a new user with the profile from /etc/skel, but not too much to screw up | 02:27 |
| tomswartz07 | just check that the permissions are the same | 02:27 |
| juzpeng | Yes, win I first had trouble ..but then it install alongside win after turning off turned off fast & secure boot in bios. It made it kinda large though is there any way to shrink the volume a bit? | 02:27 |
| AdBlocker_ | juzpeng: You would have to format that partition, if you partitioned it. Then expand your windows partition from within Windows. Then reinstall Ubuntu with the remaining space. | 02:28 |
| tomswartz07 | cbilljones: i fired up my other box here; try changing the lightdm.conf file to greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter | 02:29 |

| AdBlocker_ | juzpeng: Also you cannot shrink your partition for linux from within windows. You can overwrite critical system files and mess up the partition itself. You can resize your partition of Ubuntu from within Ubuntu. | 02:31 |

| wilee-nilee | juzpeng, W8 has a complete restore option. | 02:34 |

| wilee-nilee | sudo update-grub juzpeng | 02:40 |
| Anonynimity | My.Pen.Is.Erect | 02:41 |

| AdBlocker_ | Dr_Willis: Ah | 02:41 |

| AdBlocker_ | Haha | 02:42 |
| AdBlocker_ | I thought it was a pretty interesting project. | 02:42 |
| juzpeng | so did ubuntu get rid of KDE ?! | 02:42 |
| Anonynimity | My.Pen.Is.Erect | 02:42 |
| Anonynimity | oops | 02:42 |
| Anonynimity | sorry | 02:42 |
| Dr_Willis | juzpeng: kde is in the repos.. or use Kubuntu, or install Kubuntu-desktop package | 02:42 |
| Dr_Willis | juzpeng: ubuntu has not gotten rid of kde. | 02:42 |
| juzpeng | you can boot into either it wont wipe it out? | 02:43 |
| juzpeng | sudo update-grub >>> Adding boot menu entry for EFI firmware configuration | 02:43 |
| juzpeng | Found Windows 8 (loader) on /dev/sda4 | 02:43 |
| cbilljones | tomswartz07 i changed xsession in /var/lib/AccountsService/users/volante to my custom one and rebooted; lets see | 02:43 |
| randomedude | ok. I've been using 12.04 on my 60 GB SSD thinkpad x61 for more than a year. A couple weeks ago the system started hanging 10 minutes to an hour after restart or cold boot, without a miss. I took out the SSD and right now I'm using live ubuntu 10.04 from flash and the system hasn't hung for many hours. SSD system check shows everything green/okay. | 02:44 |
| juzpeng | I guess im going to restart and see it it's working now. | 02:44 |
| cbilljones | tomswartz07 bingo, i think thats what you were going to suggest, we have success | 02:44 |
| cbilljones | tomswartz07 so looks like ~home/.dmrc reads /var/lib/AccountsService/users and updates itself, thx for all the help | 02:45 |
| Lee-C | Hi all, can anyone give me a tip for how i can keep track of my dynamic IP? I have a netgear router and used to have a free DynamicDNS account which i let expire. unfortunately my router only gives me the option to add a dynamicDNS account so not sure how to work around it... | 02:45 |
| kmyst | Lee-C: sure, just cobble together a script and shove it into a crontab | 02:46 |
| AdBlocker_ | Dr_Willis: Did you hear about the universal kernel? It is some kind of hack for wine that let's .exe's run natively on linux. | 02:46 |
| AdBlocker_ | I don't really know how to feel about it xD | 02:47 |
| juzpeng | Ok here what it said when trying to load win 8 loaded on dev4 | 02:47 |
| juzpeng | error: cant find "drive map"... and error: something EFI | 02:47 |
| juzpeng | this sucks. lol | 02:48 |
| juzpeng | Anyone got any idea.. | 02:48 |
| Anonynimity | efi... do you have efi enabled in your bios? | 02:49 |
| juzpeng | Do i have to fix win MBR or something | 02:49 |
| juzpeng | no I don't think so. | 02:49 |
| AdBlocker_ | juzpeng: I gave you my advice. It was shut down though; try it at your own risk I guess. | 02:49 |
| AdBlocker_ | I'm going back to studying. | 02:49 |
| Anonynimity | okay and is this a windows 8 factory disk or...? | 02:49 |
| Lee-C | kmyst: thank for that. i had thought about that but not sure what the best way of doing it would be. maybe send myself an email? don't really like that though. maybe somehow use crontab to automatically update an alternative dynamic dns account?... | 02:49 |
| juzpeng | nope | 02:49 |
| Anonynimity | alright juzpeng is this an actual installation? | 02:50 |
| juzpeng | I found this command | 02:50 |
| Gallomimia | Lee-C: that's what i was going to suggest. cron job send packet to machine outside your router, get your ip address, tells you what's where | 02:50 |
| juzpeng | sudo apt-get install boot-repair && sudo boot-repair | 02:51 |
| juzpeng | worth giving it a shot? | 02:51 |
| kmyst | Lee-C: here ya go: http://pastebin.com/6KrgQr5K | 02:52 |
| Lee-C | Gallomimia: Yeah, i just don't know how exactly to go about it... i've used crontab to send myself an email in the past but not sure if my abilities will stretch as far as to do what i want to do. | 02:52 |
| Gallomimia | i wouldn't email it. a simple ssh connection to a computer you control would be best i think | 02:53 |
| ItsMeLenny | does anybody have a how to (or a ppa) for SDL2 in 12.04 precise? | 02:53 |

| wilee-nilee | randomedude, Had you set up the ssd to run as such and how full is it? | 02:53 |
| kmyst | Lee-C: Gallomimia i'm lazy i just email it to myself :) | 02:54 |
| wilee-nilee | juzpeng, its in a ppa | 02:54 |
| juzpeng | ppa | 02:54 |
| juzpeng | damn i hate being a newb :( | 02:54 |
| kmyst | Lee-C: just edit the necessary bits for the logfile and email | 02:54 |

| randomedude | i don't remember how I setup SSD to run, it has a few GB's left, at one point in the past it was 0.1 GB free and it didn't crash, but now it's crashing. Although I have to be honest I didn't check the latest disk free space. | 02:55 |

| randomedude | ok I don't remember this webpage. I have played with bios, ahci, acpi but not sure all of it in relation to SSD install. do you think reinstalling ubuntu acc to this webpage is the only option? | 02:58 |
| kmyst | Lee-C: i've seen some examples but i just elected to roll my own and seeing how my IP doesn't really change but once every few months regardless of the cable modem resyncing it "just works" for me | 02:59 |
| uPrism | Q: I'm having trouble getting my wifi working on my Sony Vaio laptop (ar242x ar542x atheros) - can anyone offer some help? | 03:00 |
| lotuspsychje | randomedude: for ssd set ide to ahci before installing ubuntu | 03:00 |
| wilee-nilee | randomedude, I never said you had to reinstall, just gave you a wiki I used, and suggested you have it to full. | 03:00 |
| juzpeng | boot repair said EFI detected is that good? | 03:00 |
| juzpeng | buggy-kernel detected. Do you want to activate [Backup and rename Windows EFI files]? | 03:00 |
| juzpeng | should I press Y, or N. LOL this could really get ugly. | 03:01 |
| wilee-nilee | juzpeng, Make sure you keep the bootinfo summary url, the latest you have when you use this tool it is a key for getting help, the ubuntu forums is a good place for this there is a thread just for that app by the author of that tool. | 03:01 |
| randomedude | what should be the plan of action then? is there a way I can troubleshoot this? I have a sense the crashes started after my last update-manager update, although I might be completely off the mark here | 03:02 |
| juzpeng | i install boot repair in ubuntu.. not using a live cd, or USB is that fine? | 03:02 |
| kmyst | Lee-C: of course you could always extend the concept and instead of email any change to the IP have it SMS it or IM, etc. | 03:06 |
| Anonynimity | so, how much ram do I need to run Mac OS X 10.6 on an HP Probook? | 03:07 |
| Gallomimia | can someone tell me why i can no longer see my side-bar in ubuntu? | 03:07 |
| Gallomimia | Anonynimity: how much you got? | 03:07 |
| Gallomimia | i would say 2 gigs is going to be slow | 03:07 |
| Anonynimity | idk | 03:07 |
| Gallomimia | my mpb had 4 when i got it and it was a bit slow | 03:08 |
| Gallomimia | 2 gigs is a little light on ram for hungryOS like that | 03:08 |
| wilee-nilee | Gallomimia, number of reasons, how about sharing the processes you did leading up to this. | 03:08 |
| Anonynimity | :( | 03:08 |
| BuzZBladE | like if you were messing with video drivers :I | 03:09 |
| Gallomimia | wilee-nilee: i've been wrestling with amd drivers, and the disappearing act began after first reboot upon removing generic installed drivers. i now have a working GPU with catalyst installed (i think | 03:09 |
| Gallomimia | but still no visible menu bar or "dock" | 03:09 |

| rannonga | have you tried resetting unity | 03:09 |
| Anonynimity | I ran a toshiba satellite L755-S5216 on OS X. It had about 3 GB of ram, and ran perfectly fine, until I was using the update feature in OS X | 03:09 |
| kmyst | Gallomimia: my old mbp is still chugging along with 10.6 and 1g of ram...no issues :) | 03:09 |
| Anonynimity | :(( | 03:09 |
| Gallomimia | hah one gig. wow... | 03:09 |
| Gallomimia | alright, reset unity | 03:10 |
| rannonga | use crunchbang and it never gets over a gig lol | 03:10 |
| Gallomimia | what is this process and how do i do it? | 03:10 |
| kmyst | hey that's the max for it too... | 03:10 |
| * Gallomimia googles | 03:10 | |
| Anonynimity | the thing was though, I had to use ubuntu to install mac os x onto a "Virtual Machine" although the "Virtual Machine" was actually an External Hard Drive. | 03:10 |

| randomedude | I have to mention about a month ago, I tinkered with proc/acpi/fan settings, and installed thinkfan ... but the fan never stops running when the system crashes, laptop get really hot but then sometimes system also crashes when laptop doesn't feel too hot. I'm just shooting in the dark here. | 03:11 |
| jmgk | hello | 03:11 |
| Anonynimity | what version are you using randomedude? | 03:11 |
| randomedude | 12.04 with latest updates | 03:11 |
| Anonynimity | heylo jmgk how are you this evening? and welcome to ubuntu | 03:11 |
| Gallomimia | am i to believe that the only way to reset my basic settings is with a software install? | 03:11 |
| Anonynimity | okay randomedude have you tried setting your fan speed? | 03:12 |
| jmgk | good | 03:12 |
| jmgk | thanks | 03:12 |
| kmyst | seems an extreme solution just to get a sidebar back... | 03:12 |
| Anonynimity | good to hear jmgk | 03:12 |
| randomedude | yes I tried to set it to "disengaged" which made the fan blasting at full speed, and the temp was down below 55 c in the reading, the system still crashed | 03:12 |
| jmgk | thanks | 03:12 |
| Anonynimity | randomedude, hang on a sec | 03:13 |
| randomedude | sure | 03:13 |
| Anonynimity | what kind of computer do you have randomedude? | 03:13 |
| Gallomimia | rannonga: care to suggest a method of "resetting unity"? | 03:13 |

| randomedude | I have thinkpad x61, 2 GB ram ... like I mentioned earlier it has something to do with either the 60GB SSD or the latest ubuntu setup on it ... cz right now my SSD is out and I'm on a live ubuntu 10.04 and system hasn't crashed in 5-6 hours (I doubt it's gonna crash) | 03:14 |
| umarzuki | Gallomimia: restart lightdm service? | 03:15 |
| Anonynimity | what in unity are you trying to reset Gallomimia? | 03:15 |
| kmyst | Gallomimia: i had that happen on a box that had the proprietary nvidia drivers and booting into a xen kernel which make my bar disappear...somehow i don't think that is your problem though | 03:15 |
| rannonga | Anonynimity: his sidebar not working | 03:15 |
| Gallomimia | i don't know. it was suggested as a remedy to my disappearing sidebar and menu bar | 03:15 |
| bamphomet | my fav way of resetting unity is installing gnome or xfce | 03:15 |
| Gallomimia | uh.... nvidia drivers. i seem to remember seeing those and deselecting them | 03:15 |
| Anonynimity | did you hide it Gallomimia? | 03:15 |
| rannonga | lol | 03:15 |

| Dr_Willis | hmm. theres some ipv6 stuff in /etc/sysctrl.conf also | 03:55 |
| Dr_Willis | not sure if theres a setting for what you want. :) | 03:56 |
| Anonynimity | create a file called bad_list in /etc/modprobe.d and type alias net-pf-10 off | 03:56 |

| Anonynimity | or you could make a file called blacklist-ipv6 in /etc/modprobe.d? | 03:58 |
| Dr_Willis | echo 'alias net-pf-10 off' > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ipv6 | 03:58 |

| L0S7M1ND | thanks for the wifi link. but I was leaning more towards network-manager because it all works fine in the installer. works on the installer, then reboot and nothing. not even Ethernet. ? | 04:12 |
| Dr_Willis | network manager is used on the installer live desktop also - as far as i know | 04:13 |
| L0S7M1ND | I would really like to find the reason for this bug, so that it can be fixed before the aug 17th release. | 04:13 |
| Dr_Willis | boot live cd, check what modules are loaded also. | 04:13 |
| Dr_Willis | then boot desktop where it dont work. and check what modules are loaded | 04:14 |
| Anonynimity-brb | find the networking packages, copy them to a new folder on your HDD, launch terminal, cd to the new folder you created, then use dpkg -i "packagename here.deb" | 04:14 |
| Anonynimity-brb | that's what I would do.... | 04:14 |
| L0S7M1ND | ok, i'll see where that leads | 04:14 |
| Anonynimity-brb | sudo modprobe | 04:14 |

| Guest94530 | wilee-nilee want to run a session without unity, no menus etc | 04:29 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest94530, How about another desktop? | 04:30 |
| Guest94530 | wilee-nilee could do that, what would be the lightest way to go? | 04:30 |
| === Anonynimity-brb is now known as Anonynimity | ||
| Anonynimity | there we go | 04:30 |
| Anonynimity | much better... | 04:30 |
| Anonynimity | lxde is a really lightweight desktop but it still has menus | 04:31 |
| Dr_Willis | jwm - is about the lightest 'window manager' but its not a full desktop | 04:31 |
| BuzZBladE | maybe install only xfce then you can remove its panels at least? | 04:31 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest94530, You can add sektops, however these are meta packages, and can be removed if you have the list of whats installed. You say"a" session, is this a singular run? | 04:31 |
| wilee-nilee | desktops* | 04:32 |
| HisaoNakai | BuzZBladE: I open 'network conenctions' > Wired connection 1 > edit > ipv4 tab. How do I change the DNS? | 04:32 |
| Guest94530 | wilee-nilee this would be the default xsession want something very minamal | 04:32 |
| Anonynimity | I'm going to go because My.Pen.Is.Erect | 04:33 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest94530, I think the others might have a better idea what to do, my concern was you getting backed into a corner without knowing the fix. | 04:33 |
| wilee-nilee | a whole bunch of desktops to choose from though | 04:35 |
| BuzZBladE | HisaoNakai, to change the DNS you have to disable DHCP, as it will talk to your router and get that information | 04:35 |
| HisaoNakai | BuzZBladE: I open 'network conenctions' > Wired connection 1 > edit > ipv4 tab. How do I change the DNS? | 04:35 |
| HisaoNakai | Ah | 04:35 |
| HisaoNakai | BuzZBladE: So 'manual'? | 04:35 |
| BuzZBladE | automatic DHCP with address only may work, unless you want static local IP's | 04:35 |
| jmgk | hm | 04:35 |
| HisaoNakai | BuzZBladE: Okay. Do I write both the primary and secondary DNS in the DNS servers field? | 04:37 |
| Sheldoraaaa | do I have to use python to write a program for back up on ubuntu server? | 04:37 |
| BuzZBladE | i believe so, with a space seperating them, if this is connecting to the internet Automatic DHCP should get this DNS from your cable modem | 04:38 |
| Sheldoraaaa | or is there anyway I can cheat ? | 04:38 |
| HisaoNakai | Sheldoraaaa: Depends on what you want it to do...bash is usually good enough. | 04:38 |
| Sheldoraaaa | so the idea is that if one of my computer down, the other one can automatically on | 04:39 |
| Gallomimia | that's really not funny anymore. alt+tab plus steam game = can't get back to the game ever... ? | 04:40 |
| Sheldoraaaa | within a very limited time without any information loses | 04:40 |
| HisaoNakai | BuzZBladE: I see...I want to override the default DNS. And is it necessary to fill in the Search Domains field? | 04:41 |
| BetaSoul | Gah, other machine crashed. | 04:41 |
| PryMaL | Gallomimia: do you run windowed mode? | 04:41 |
| Gallomimia | no | 04:41 |
| PryMaL | Gallomimia: try it, that's always done well by me! -windowed in your advanced launch options. :D | 04:42 |
| BuzZBladE | HisaoNakai, it is not necessary, unless you are wanting to cross local network domains | 04:42 |
| BetaSoul | Okay, two issues. First, ubtunu will only recongize one device per bus(had to move my keyboard to another bus), second, the TP-LINK TL-WDN3800 wireless card still isn't showing up. | 04:43 |
| Gallomimia | i'm also looking at figuring out how to get windows versions of some games attempting to run in wine... that's a kind of later on thing tho | 04:43 |
| BetaSoul | Also, frekaing laptop crashed, so sorry for the flashing in and out. | 04:43 |
| BuzZBladE | i will be happy the day all games can start in a borderless dragable windowed mode that can remain on top :I | 04:43 |
| Gallomimia | PryMaL: your theory has failed me miserably; the game is not showing at all now... no sound either | 04:44 |
| Gallomimia | tho, this does give some kind of clues as to what's going on here... wish i knew what they meant | 04:45 |

| bray90820 | Would installing ubuntu on a flash drive to be able to plug it into any computer really work? | 05:28 |
| histo | bray90820: yes | 05:28 |
| bray90820 | But every computer needs different drivers | 05:29 |
| histo | bray90820: linux != windows | 05:29 |
| linuxuz3r | depends on the driver | 05:29 |
| linuxuz3r | so no | 05:29 |
| linuxuz3r | if you have an old computer yes | 05:29 |
| Dr_Willis | bray90820: not every computer needs differnt drivers. | 05:29 |
| Dr_Willis | and most drivers are included by default on ubuntu | 05:30 |
| histo | bray90820: even if they need different drivers they are loaded as modules. | 05:30 |
| histo | linuxuz3r: nonsense | 05:30 |
| Dr_Willis | bray90820: theres also a 'live' install to flash drive. (like the cd works) then theres a 'full' install to flash drive. | 05:30 |
| bray90820 | well i know on one of my computers i need to install wifi manually | 05:30 |
| bray90820 | On my MacPro | 05:30 |
| Dr_Willis | it will totally depend on the esact chipset of the device. for legal and other reasons not all the firmwares canbe included. | 05:31 |
| bray90820 | So some will work and some will not? | 05:31 |
| Dr_Willis | if you made a live-usb with persistant save, or a full install. you could install the drivers onto the usb | 05:31 |
| Dr_Willis | then it should work. | 05:31 |
| histo | bray90820: You're not installing wifi drivers. You are just adding the firmware that is closed source that can't be freely distributed. | 05:31 |
| bray90820 | So by default most computers will work but some will not? | 05:32 |
| Dr_Willis | too bad there used to be a project that sort of skirted the legal areas and had all the firmware and other junk on a unoffical extras-cd ;) | 05:32 |
| Dr_Willis | havent seen that project mentioned in years | 05:32 |
| bray90820 | the dvd install? | 05:32 |
| bray90820 | Dr_Willis: were you talking about the dvd install | 05:33 |
| histo | bray90820: you will find more that will work than not. | 05:34 |
| histo | bray90820: also your definition of work is a little off. Even those that need firmware still work without a problem. | 05:34 |
| histo | bray90820: just wired only | 05:34 |
| bray90820 | histo: alright | 05:34 |

| kongthap | is there any good alternative to terminal which offers multiple tab interface ??? | 06:03 |
| === bocaneri is now known as Sauvin | ||
| Dr_Willis | theres dozens of terminal-eumlator apps in the repos | 06:04 |
| Dr_Willis | Most offer tab's | 06:04 |
| Dr_Willis | I tend to use Terminator - it has a large feature set | 06:04 |
| richat | hello there | 06:04 |
| BuzZBladE | guake is pretty popular too | 06:04 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont really use the pop-down type terminals. | 06:04 |
| Naeblis | Hello. gparted (from live USB) shows my entire HDD as "unallocated". Does this mean I'll have to re-partition everything (and thus lose all the data) ? | 06:05 |
| richat | possible if i can see my password that store on chrome? | 06:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Naeblis: what does 'sudo fdisk -l' say about it? | 06:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Naeblis: its not a LVM or part of a raid setup was it? | 06:05 |
| BuzZBladE | Naeblis, if your booted in and looking at gparted, then something is allocated, you cant use an os thats in unallocated space | 06:06 |
| Naeblis | welp, "/dev/sda doesn't contain a valid partition table" | 06:06 |
| Dr_Willis | Its possible the HD has died.. it would be weird for it to suddendly become unallocated. | 06:07 |
| Naeblis | this hdd was working fine a couple months back, with Win7 and Ubuntu dual boot | 06:07 |
| kongthap | Dr_Willis: i've installed Terminator, i don't know how to open new tab ??? | 06:07 |
| Dr_Willis | kongthap: check the right click menu and its docs> | 06:07 |
| Dr_Willis | lxterminal also has tabs (thats what im using now on my raspberry pi) | 06:08 |
| kongthap | i got it, thanks :) | 06:08 |
| Dr_Willis | terminator's ability to split windows is handy in some cases | 06:08 |
| Naeblis | Dr_Willis: yeah that's what I fear. I can see it in BIOS, but it's not being booted. | 06:08 |
| === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob | ||
| Naeblis | any way to check it for sure? | 06:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Naeblis: hard drives are the weakest link in hardware. | 06:09 |
| histo | Naeblis: did you remove the partition table? | 06:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Its possible it may be dead, and might come back to life after it runs a bit.. or gets shookup . or you say the magic words. | 06:09 |
| histo | !testdisk | Naeblis | 06:09 |
| Naeblis | histo: I didn't do anything myself | 06:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Naeblis: and its not using any weird encryption, or other fancy things | 06:10 |
| Naeblis | nope | 06:10 |
| histo | Naeblis: scan it with testdisk see if there are any partitions there. Also make sure that sda is your actual hdd and not usb or something goofy | 06:10 |
| Naeblis | histo: nah, 1TB, so fairly sure it's the hdd | 06:10 |
| Dr_Willis | yea. :) seen some bios's ages ago that would sort of switch around hard drives if you booted from USB | 06:10 |

| histo | RedRyder: have you asked opensim people for help? | 06:15 |
| RedRyder | yes and also the metropolis grid people | 06:16 |
| BuzZBladE | red, did you create the mysql database for it? | 06:17 |

| techyan | Hi Guys | 06:20 |
| techyan | Its regarding Ubuntu installation failure | 06:20 |
| techyan | I tried to install Ubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 12.10 in a P4 PC | 06:21 |
| histo | !pae | techyan | 06:21 |
| ubottu | techyan: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 06:21 |
| histo | techyan: what was the failure? | 06:21 |
| techyan | Ubuntu 12.10 installation is not even starting in my PC | 06:22 |
| histo | techyan: can you describe not starting? Does anything show up on the screen? | 06:22 |
| Dr_Willis | booting from dvd? or usb flash or how.. | 06:22 |
| techyan | However 12.04 installation was successfull , but I am getting internal errors while opening application | 06:22 |
| techyan | And it is not restarting. | 06:23 |
| techyan | Some times mouse and keyboard is not detecting | 06:23 |
| histo | techyan: pick one problem and describe it in detail | 06:23 |
| Dr_Willis | sounds like there maybe deeper hardware issues. or a bad install image/burn | 06:23 |
| techyan | The error message was "could not write bytes: brocken pipes" ? | 06:25 |
| techyan | <histo> Is there any updated hardware support machine desktop list. Just like https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesDesktopsDell | 06:26 |
| === Denza252 is now known as MangaKaDenza | ||
| Dr_Willis | techyan: you tried running the memtest from the live cd/dvd for a while as a test to verify theres no ram issues? | 06:27 |
| techyan | The RAM is working fine | 06:28 |
| Dr_Willis | and how long did you let memtest run? | 06:29 |
| techyan | Pass 1 | 06:29 |
| techyan | Pas 1 was success | 06:29 |
| techyan | Arround 30min | 06:30 |
| BuzZBladE | the broken pipes bit could be referring to his video drivers, its not starting 3d unity | 06:30 |
| BuzZBladE | techyan, you say its a p4, i'm assuming its an onboard intel video chipset? | 06:31 |
| techyan | Yes | 06:31 |
| BuzZBladE | that should be vga compatable... | 06:32 |
| techyan | For your information, because of this error I installed Ubuntu 12.04 server in the same PC | 06:32 |
| techyan | And it was working fine ( CLI mode). Later I installed Ubuntu-Desktop in 12.04 server . | 06:33 |
| techyan | So lot of internal issues occured. | 06:33 |
| techyan | Like application crashed, system is not successfully restarting etc | 06:33 |
| Roy_Ubuntu_13-04 | who is familer with scanmem | 06:33 |
| BuzZBladE | techyan, hm, so you installed 12.04 server, then desktop over top of it? | 06:34 |
| techyan | I installed the server version because desktop version always crashing | 06:34 |
| Dr_Willis | desktop and server versions should be pratically identical. except for the desktop bits. | 06:35 |
| Dr_Willis | if you boot to text mode, you dont have any crashing of the cli apps? | 06:35 |
| techyan | In CLI mode the server version was fine. I installed ubuntu-desktop over it . Because I have to work on some design softwares. | 06:35 |
| techyan | So again system crashed. | 06:35 |
| techyan | In text mode everything works | 06:36 |
| BuzZBladE | in the server version you could have just installed the desktop packages | 06:36 |
| techyan | but in gui its crashing. some times manual restart required. | 06:36 |
| techyan | Some times it wont restart. | 06:36 |
| BuzZBladE | how old is this hard drive? | 06:37 |
| foo357 | Hello, I have a ubuntu 12.04 machine with some packages installed. I recently noticed that there was a PPA that offered these packages (but newer versions and so, of course). How should I go from using the official ubuntu packages to the ppa ones? What would happen if I added this ppa, would APT find out that some packages can be updated or something? | 06:37 |
| histo | techyan: do you have a swap partition? | 06:37 |
| Dr_Willis | foo357: thats how it works.. enable ppa. apt-get update, upgrade should pull them in. | 06:37 |
| lazors | !ppa | foo357 | 06:38 |
| ubottu | foo357: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge | 06:38 |
| foo357 | Dr_Willis: oh, great. thanks for the clarification. | 06:38 |

| === g_byers is now known as gbyers[Away] | ||
| techyan | Is there anyway I can get a details of hardware supported by Ubuntu-Desktop | 06:44 |
| BuzZBladE | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements | 06:44 |
| BuzZBladE | it doesnt list a keyboard, but it helps to have one | 06:45 |
| wilee-nilee | techyan: more hardware works than is listed. | 06:47 |
| BuzZBladE | the only thing i might worry about when he says p4 is does he have at least 512mb of ram? | 06:48 |
| techyan | @Wilee-nilee - OK. I should give some kind of explanation why it is not installing in my hardware > | 06:48 |
| Dr_Willis | !hcl | 06:50 |
| ubottu | 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 | 06:50 |
| Dr_Willis | and of course hardware that is 'ubuntu certified' can still have issues | 06:51 |
| Dr_Willis | techyan: best to keep the chat in the channel. Most of us in here ignore pm's | 06:51 |
| Dr_Willis | the only real hardware the desktop would be using would be the video chipset/driver that would be differnt then the server. | 06:52 |
| Dr_Willis | everything else is pratically the same btween server and desktop editions these days. | 06:52 |
| Dr_Willis | of course a Pent4 - is getting towards the low end of what could be expected to work. You may want to try Lubuntu or xubuntu on that old of hardware | 06:53 |
| techyan | Dr_Willis : OK. | 06:56 |

| Dr_Willis | normally the only issues hardware wise would be the wireless cards. and the video chipset. | 07:01 |
| Dr_Willis | unless the system is so old - its not using a PAE enabled cpu. | 07:01 |
| gordonjcp | early early P4 might not be PAE and might not be 32-bit | 07:02 |
| gordonjcp | s/32/64/ | 07:02 |

| hitsujiTMO | techyan: unity is going to have a hard time running on your graphics chipset: you should defo use lubuntu or xubuntu 12.04 | 07:12 |
| techyan | hitsujiTMO: Issues happened while working on gui | 07:14 |
| techyan | in CLI it is working | 07:14 |

| cjmac | Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble with open-iscsi on Precise (12.04). Specifically, I'm trying to set up multi-pathing and for some reason, it's trying to route traffic to my target via all my iscsi ifaces, not just the ones that can actually route to it. I can manually correct this by removing the bindings, but I'd like to stop it binding the target to the other ifaces altogether. | 07:23 |
| cjmac | That better? | 07:23 |
| DuncanNZ | Proctologist: If you go to settings and click "Device Drivers", do you get anything there? | 07:23 |
| hitsujiTMO | yes, you're more likely to get help if you provide the details | 07:23 |
| DuncanNZ | it might be worded differently, "proprietary drivers" or "hardware drivers" | 07:24 |
| Proctologist | I'll have a look, it is still at the black screen so I'll have to restart it | 07:26 |
| DuncanNZ | wait one second then | 07:26 |
| DuncanNZ | first check if you can press Ctrl+Alt+F1 | 07:26 |

| auronandace | rethus: lts releases are every 2 years | 08:14 |
| rethus | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 08:15 |
| auronandace | rethus: 13.04 is not an lts | 08:15 |
| hitsujiTMO | ripthejacker: if you need to install it you can download the .deb from packages.ubuntu.com | 08:15 |
| rethus | So, the LTS in an own branch? | 08:15 |
| ripthejacker | hitsujiTMO: How do I know if i have enabled universe? | 08:16 |
| rethus | but created out of 13.04 STS? | 08:16 |

| hitsujiTMO | ripthejacker: it will not be commented out in /etc/apt/sources.list | 08:17 |
| auronandace | rethus: each release is a separate branch, they make lts releases so that you can upgrade directly between consecutive lts releases | 08:17 |
| hewhomust | what does dist-upgrade do? | 08:18 |
| auronandace | rethus: with normal releases you can only upgrade to the one next in line | 08:18 |
| auronandace | !dist-upgrade | hewhomust | 08:18 |
| ubottu | hewhomust: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 08:18 |
| rethus | is visible, which features of the STS versions are included? | 08:18 |

| dn4 | I am trying to boot up ubuntu on a macbook pro and it always has jacked up graphics with with the latest releases of 13.04 and 12.04.3 | 08:43 |
| dn4 | any ideas why graphics would be jacked up and then the wireless fails at a certain point I think and the install just stops | 08:44 |

| dn4 | Neo2013: hmmm any recommended ways to download it? | 08:48 |

| nabn | hi. how do i enable alt-tab shortcut to switch appilcations? I am using gnome classic on ubuntu 13.04(64bit). I tried using ccsm, but the version i downloaded does not have an option where i can enable this. The best it allows me to do is activate 'alt-w' to enable window picker. | 08:50 |
| dn4 | Neo2013: I am using a usb thumb stick | 08:52 |
| dn4 | maybe I am messing up some where | 08:52 |
| dn4 | should my file format on the usb stick be fat32? | 08:52 |
| Neo2013 | no | 08:53 |
| Neo2013 | I always use NTFS | 08:53 |
| Neo2013 | because you can put biger files on it | 08:53 |
| dn4 | hmmm | 08:54 |
| Neo2013 | Try to format it as NTFS and make a new startup file | 08:54 |
| dn4 | maybe I Should just buy a dvd and use that instead of a usb | 08:54 |
| dn4 | that normally always works | 08:54 |
| Neo2013 | also possible | 08:54 |
| Neo2013 | I use vmware workstation if I want to try a new OS | 08:55 |
| Neo2013 | but I dont konw if that is working on your mac ;) | 08:55 |
| meyou | in a netstat -l, what does [::]:1234 | 08:56 |
| meyou | indicate | 08:57 |
| cjmac | meyou: the :1234 is the port, and [::] is the ipv6 equivalent of 0.0.0.0, basically | 08:57 |
| meyou | so if that was the only entry with port 1234 | 08:58 |
| meyou | you could conclude ipv4 addresses aren't listening on 1234? | 08:58 |
| cjmac | meyou: I .....believe so, yes. | 08:59 |
| meyou | i was pretty sure because i see other *:<port> entries for stuff that is listening on this thing's ip4 address | 08:59 |
| meyou | stupid service is binding wrong i guess | 08:59 |

| sasmit87 | when I tried this command sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable | 09:11 |

| ActionParsnip | sasmit87: the community, and that PPA do not support Oneiric | 09:14 |
| sasmit87 | so how to fix that | 09:14 |

| sasmit87 | what is that again | 09:21 |
| sasmit87 | ? | 09:21 |
| Rory | sasmit87: Does that command give an error? | 09:21 |
| nomad_fr | It work perfectly over ethernet, I've made a 'special' usb boot stick that permit to load my preseed form network | 09:21 |
| sasmit87 | rory: which command | 09:21 |
| Rory | sam113101: If you can't find the option, run the command: "sudo do-release-upgrade" in the terminal | 09:22 |

| Rory | sorry sam113101 :( | 09:22 |
| nomad_fr | but I can't do the same with wifi | 09:22 |
| Rory | sasmit87: Failing that, you can download a supported version from http://ubuntu.com/downloads/desktop and install it the same way you installed 11.10 | 09:22 |
| Rory | sasmit87: By burning to a DVD, or a USb flash drive, booting from it, and following the instructions | 09:23 |
| sasmit87 | rory: its happening I guess | 09:23 |

| pat | There's no option for it in display settings. | 09:25 |
| sasmit87 | rory: any idea how much time it takes | 09:25 |
| pat | And it's driving me insane. | 09:25 |
| Rory | sasmit87: Depends on the speed of your Internet connection | 09:25 |
| sasmit87 | its 4mbps | 09:25 |
| Rory | pat: In XFCE it's called "tiling snap" not sticky edges | 09:26 |
| michael87 | anyone else waiting for the release of 13.10? I keep hoping it will get faster with more functions. | 09:26 |
| pat | Rory: oh okay, where abouts is that option? | 09:26 |
| sasmit87 | rory: its showing now | 09:26 |
| sasmit87 | Continue [yN] Details [d] | 09:26 |
| MrQuist | i keep hoping it fixes damn drivers issues and comes with a proper window manager | 09:26 |
| Rory | sasmit87: continue | 09:26 |
| sasmit87 | y | 09:26 |
| sasmit87 | right | 09:26 |
| Rory | pat: I don't know, don't use XFCE but it'll be in the settings console somewhere | 09:26 |
| Rory | sasmit87: Yes | 09:26 |
| pat | Rory: okay, thanks, I'll try and invoke Google | 09:27 |
| Rory | pat: Just poke around the settings | 09:27 |
| pat | Rory: hmm I've tried that, couldn't see it anywhere :( I'll try again | 09:27 |
| pat | Rory: google has nothing, yay | 09:27 |
| michael87 | so weird questions, is there a way to make chromium transparent where the tabs are without effecting the tabs themselves? like windows 7. not a biggy just want to know if its possible | 09:28 |
| Rory | !xubuntu | pat | 09:28 |
| ubottu | pat: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce as the desktop environment. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 09:28 |
| Rory | michael87: No, because Chrom/ium uses its own internal way of drawing the window, and the rest of the desktop can't change it | 09:28 |
| pat | I'll try the xubuntu chan, thanks | 09:28 |
| reisio | pat: sticky edges? | 09:29 |
| michael87 | Rory, damn :(. well maybe one day that will change. I personally love unity and its task menu reminds me of aeroglass. just becuase microsoft wants to flatten everything doesn't mean I have to deal with that crap lol | 09:30 |
| pat | reisio: yeah, when i move my mouse from 1 monitor to the other the mouse gets stuck on the middle section for a bit | 09:30 |
| pat | reisio: and i have to wiggle it | 09:30 |
| Rory | reisio: on XFCE not Unity | 09:31 |
| reisio | Settings > Window Manager > Advanced > snap windows? | 09:31 |
| pat | unity does it for me too | 09:31 |
| reisio | Settings > Workspaces >Margins? | 09:31 |
| Dr_Willis | edge resistance perhaps. | 09:31 |
| pat | reisio: nice, i'll try those | 09:32 |
| reisio | Settings > Window Manager Tweaks > Use edge resistance | 09:32 |
| reisio | and then of course you could query the heck out of xfconf | 09:32 |
| reisio | also, #xfce | 09:32 |
| pat | awesome, thanks! | 09:32 |
| michael87 | anyway thanks for the answers I'm out | 09:35 |
| MrQuist | while we're at it; i had another window manger (unity or something - the ubuntu default), then i added some option that the window blinks on an alert message. Then a collegue of mine replaced the default one with Cinnamon - now i can't revert the blinking alert sound anymore | 09:35 |
| Rory | MrQuist: They're entirely different desktop environments, Cinnamon probably doesn't even support what you want | 09:36 |
| pat | reisio: according to #xubuntu it was that snap windows setting, good work | 09:36 |
| MrQuist | Okay, but then, why does it still blink? | 09:36 |
| MrQuist | When i go to all settings -> universal access -> hearing | 09:37 |

| driiper | or if its possible to download the release version now from somewhere | 10:01 |
| hitsujiTMO | driiper: there could be, an upgrade is not also a smooth process, normally it would be recommend to use an lts release for a server. saucy beta is here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ (will update to release) keep in mind all saucy support is in #ubuntu+1 til release | 10:04 |

| vmz | TTTTT: I’m running gith nodejs server which is listening to github web hooks and when I commit to master branch of my websites repo - this nodejs server runs this bash script.

| vmz | Yep, but it seems related somehow with Ubuntu. I’ve found some similar topics on google with that error and Ubuntu, but not found solution yet. This script was introduced in the blogpost as fully working, so maybe its author runs it on another Linux distro... As for channels - yes, I could always use /list (: | 10:29 |
| TTTTT | vmz, Try this http://pastebin.com/pHGhR5Xi | 10:30 |

| geirha | vmz: The main point is that (, ) and ; are special to bash, so to pass those characters on to find, you have to escape them, either by prepending \ or quoting them; \(, '(' or "(" | 10:40 |
| geirha | vmz: It's also bad practice to embed data into scripts, as you did with {} | 10:40 |

| miroz | hm you're right it's upgrading | 11:18 |
| grimeton | foo357_: you're missing the \; in the end | 11:18 |
| grimeton | foo357_: you have to add a ; at the end of exec and escape it so that the shell isn't interpreting it | 11:18 |
| foo357_ | grimeton: ok, but 'basename is the issue' | 11:18 |
| subby1 | ActionParsnip: yaa actually I hv connected it through my laptop with a lan connection which is connected with wifi | 11:18 |

| DeepBlue | ActionParsnip: thr dcnof editor gives no options under gnome entry | 11:19 |
| foo357_ | grimeton: find doesn't interpret 'basename' as a command to execute and only thinks of it as a string | 11:19 |
| grimeton | foo357_: it's better to use a while loop: find ./ -type f -iname \*.rar | while read line; do bname=$(basename "$line"); unrar x "$line" "$bname" "$line"; done | 11:19 |
| subby1 | Ohh I was first wwiting if anyone culd reply me first den I culd tell my prob... | 11:20 |
| foo357_ | jrib: extract rar archives and put the content in whatever directory the archive is located at | 11:20 |
| ActionParsnip | subby1: if you use the ethernet, do you get a web connection? | 11:20 |
| cfhowlett | subby1, dude. STATE the problem with details. if someone knows, they'll speak up. That's how it's done. | 11:20 |

| superkuh | "The Medibuntu Project has come to an end" :( | 13:00 |
| geirha | C0mm4nd3r: Perhaps you really just want to reset your firefox config | 13:00 |
| bekks | superkuh: medibutu is officially shut down. | 13:00 |
| superkuh | So... | 13:00 |
| geirha | reinstalling firefox has no effect unless you've manually modified some of its files under /usr or similar | 13:00 |
| C0mm4nd3r | ok thanks | 13:00 |
| superkuh | Can anyone direct me to similar repositories? With lucid support? | 13:00 |
| bekks | superkuh: There is no lucid desktop support anymore, since April 2013. | 13:01 |
| superkuh | Right. | 13:01 |
| grit96 | ? | 13:02 |
| C0mm4nd3r | and if i install tor from "terminale" ? (excuse me but i'm in italian guy) | 13:04 |

| gens_ | hi, i'm getting a bunch of errors when trying to compile a simple file http://pastie.org/8403644 can anyone help please? | 13:06 |
| Timon__ | At least can someone tell me how to burn a Ubuntu 13.04 64bit DVD? | 13:11 |
| MonkeyDust | Timon__ in windows or in ubuntu? | 13:11 |
| Timon__ | In windows | 13:11 |
| Timon__ | MonkeyDust: ^ | 13:11 |
| MonkeyDust | Timon__ i'm sure the people in ##windows can help you better | 13:12 |
| MrQuist | lol | 13:12 |
| MrQuist | i guess #welcome-to-computers would fit better | 13:12 |
| MonkeyDust | Timon__ you're not in the right channel | 13:12 |
| Timon__ | I have asked.... And they are yet to answer it. | 13:12 |
| MrQuist | Timon__, download imgburn and burn the image | 13:12 |
| MrQuist | you can select the drive and the ISO file, then you should be able to boot from it | 13:12 |
| geirha | gens_: Odd, works here. | 13:13 |
| gens_ | geirha: i think my ubuntu install is broken, but i don't know how to fix it | 13:13 |
| gens_ | or at least the packages for g++ and such | 13:13 |
| MrQuist | gens_, have you tried another compiler? | 13:14 |
| MrQuist | or just reinstalling G++ | 13:15 |
| geirha | gens_: I'd try reinstalling g++-4.7 and libstdc++6-4.7-dev | 13:15 |
| gens_ | MrQuist: geirha: same problem after reinstalling these two packages (and i'm getting similar issues with clang++à) | 13:17 |
| MrQuist | hmm | 13:17 |
| MrQuist | i'm afraid this exceeds my knowledge gens_ | 13:18 |
| geirha | gens_: Would help to know how it got broken :) | 13:18 |
| Achilles` | Has anyone programmed instrumentation with Pin? How do you make these errors go away for all of PIN function calls/data types? I've put all the header files in /usr/local/lib and it can find "pin.H" but I still get errors for the function calls/data types specific to Pin. | 13:18 |
| gens_ | geirha: i don't remember exactly what i did, but i was trying to compile llvm and clang from source, and then uninstalled some old llvm packages, and i also tried to install to libstdc++6-4.7-dev manually but it was already installed | 13:19 |
| Pici | Achilles`: Are you sure you're asking in the right channel? This is #ubuntu | 13:19 |
| Achilles` | @Pici : Sure, but there's no channel specifically for Pin, so I thought I'd try my luck here. | 13:20 |

| lashi | hi, does anyone know where I can get some help on nautilus? | 14:03 |
| shyaam_ | hi | 14:03 |
| lashi | is there a nautilus expert here? or is there a chan for it? | 14:03 |
| Dai_1987 | lashi: just ask your question and see what happens | 14:04 |
| lashi | ok, here goes. So, I'm running nautilus version 3.4.2 and when I try and cut a file and then subsequently paste, if the destination drive is a mounted disk, it doesn't let me. I certainly have the right permissions because I can just drag and drop and it copies and I can manually delete. But this is suboptimal. | 14:05 |
| shyaam_ | what do you want to know about nautilus | 14:05 |
| lashi | I just wonder whether there is some option to disable the cut and paste when it's a mounted disk? This certainly wasn't the case on older Ubuntu, I believe when I ran 10.10. I'm currently running 12.04 | 14:06 |
| shyaam_ | did you run nautilus as admin to do this type "sudo nautilus" in cmd prompt and you will be cool | 14:07 |
| lashi | that's not a good option | 14:08 |
| lashi | I shouldn't have to run anything root - that's how you damage the system | 14:08 |

| plof_ | hello , when switching to tty , any sound played in Xorg stops working , is there a ways to make it globally work on all ttys ? | 14:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | livtyler: how many certs and what class certs are you purchasing? | 14:21 |

| hillary | could it be the wine windows loader has a problem? | 14:26 |
| hitsujiTMO | livtyler: from what i understand of radius you should not need anything special for your certs, i would get a test cert for a dummy domain/subdomain to test out ofcourse. I would recommend looking at startssl as they are free and widely supported for class 1 certs | 14:26 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Could someone please recommend a good temperature monitor? and other statistics for that matter if it can | 14:27 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I will get a new laptop and it supposingly gets a bit hot from time to time, it has the turbo boost capacity on the proccessor and that could be it | 14:28 |
| LivTyler | hitsujiTMO: If I would want something more official? mean CA signed certs, what info/files I should give them? | 14:28 |
| hitsujiTMO | startssl are a CA. you can generate a simple CSR bit basic info or you can let them generate the CSR for you | 14:29 |

| ^_^_^_^_^_ | it has a lm flag | 14:48 |
| ActionPa1snip | SonikkuAmerica: so uname -m does not tell you the CPU arch, only the kernel | 14:48 |
| ^_^_^_^_^_ | I think uname just specifies the os | 14:48 |
| ^_^_^_^_^_ | it says generic which is true im running 32 bit ubuntu | 14:48 |

| SonikkuAmerica | Back! Circular arguments! I'm done. :-) | 14:50 |
| SonikkuAmerica | *Ack! | 14:50 |
| ActionPa1snip | SonikkuAmerica: 'low latency' doesn't clarify 32bit or 64bitness | 14:50 |

| SonikkuAmerica | Right. | 14:51 |

| JohnSmith | I have hundred millions of file stored in a 2 level folder, in this form AA/BB/832497BBAA.ext. Nowadays it's more or less impossible to scan this arborescence with utils like du or rsync. The filesystem is ext4, mounted with noatime. Does anyone has good practices regarding storing millions of files, like using different filesystem or maybe distributed FS? | 15:50 |
| SonikkuAmerica | jgcampbell300: So you want to run multiple OS's from one machine at one, but not through a hypervisor's metadata... Like mounting a raw disk image in VBox? | 15:50 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Tenem: If you have a Windows installation disc of some sort | 15:50 |
| Tenem | OK will do that... | 15:50 |
| MonkeyDust | JohnSmith is that on a file server? if yes: try asking in #ubuntu-server | 15:52 |
| SonikkuAmerica | jgcampbell300: Can you be more specific? | 15:52 |
| JohnSmith | Yeah thank you | 15:53 |
| jgcampbell300 | SonikkuAmerica, i think so ... i saw a tech with a notebook that when his computer started he had only 5 icons and if he clicked one windows would start he could then click anohter and linux would start etc ... he had all 5 running at one time and it didnt appear to have a host os like loading virtual box on ubuntu ... it was like the computer started with no os then loaded diffrent images | 15:53 |
| jgcampbell300 | i just dont konw what someting like this would be called so im haveing a hard time finding a place to start reading and researching | 15:53 |
| Rory | jgcampbell300: Sounds like the word you want is "hypervisor" | 15:53 |
| SonikkuAmerica | jgcampbell300: VBox can act as a hypervisor for raw partitions. | 15:54 |
| bubbly193 | does anyone know the irc channel for the api website? | 15:54 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ... As well as full VMs. | 15:54 |
| jgcampbell300 | hypervisor ... cool ... that sounds like where ill start reading ... anyone else have any more info for me befor i go to reading | 15:54 |
| Rory | bubbly193: What is "the api website" ? | 15:54 |
| jgcampbell300 | and thanks Rory and SonikkuAmerica | 15:54 |

| Peldan | Okay, I installed ubuntu to my new laptop yesterday and I want to optirun (I have a GT 650M GPU) dota 2. I don't know how to do it though. | 16:11 |
| Peldan | "optirun steam" etc works fine | 16:11 |
| Peldan | but "optirun dota_linux" doesn't work | 16:11 |
| Peldan | help a noob | 16:11 |
| === g_byers is now known as gbyers[Away] | ||
| PeterCassetta | Hey, Peldan, have you installed bumblebee? | 16:13 |
| Peldan | Yeah, otherwise optirun wouldn't work with steam right? | 16:13 |
| PeterCassetta | Yeah. | 16:14 |
| PeterCassetta | I have bumblebee on my laptop. | 16:14 |
| Peldan | Okay, but you can't explain why "optirun dota_linux" doesn't work? | 16:14 |
| MangaKaDenza | hurk | 16:14 |
| Peldan | :/ | 16:14 |
| MangaKaDenza | anyone got any ideas for ActionScript/Flash IDE's for ubuntu? | 16:15 |
| MangaKaDenza | that are free? | 16:15 |
| SonikkuAmerica | MangaKaDenza: Does NetBeans do that? | 16:15 |
| PeterCassetta | Peldan: What is dota_linux? | 16:15 |
| PeterCassetta | A Steam game? | 16:15 |
| Peldan | Yeah | 16:15 |
| Peldan | Dota 2 | 16:15 |
| Peldan | in steam | 16:15 |
| PeterCassetta | So it runs fine if you just run "dota_linux", I assume? | 16:16 |
| Peldan | It says "file not found" | 16:16 |
| Peldan | or | 16:16 |
| Peldan | /usr/bin/vglrun: 303: exec: dota_linux: not found | 16:17 |

| jgcampbell300 | SonikkuAmerica, hi again ... do you have any suggestion on what flavor of hipervisor to start with ... i was looking at KVM after reading a few Wiki pages | 16:17 |
| Peldan | Since optirun firefox and optirun steam works | 16:17 |
| ActionPa1snip | jgcampbell300: virtualbox is nice and easy | 16:17 |
| Peldan | I suppose it just doesn't know where to look for the file? | 16:17 |
| compdoc | jgcampbell300, I like kvm. you having a problem with what youre reading? | 16:17 |
| SonikkuAmerica | jgcampbell300: Why not VMware or VirtualBox? | 16:17 |
| bjensen82 | when following the guided setup of partitions, it wants to make a swap and a main partition. I thought it was preferred if you had a /var mount point as well..In case eg. logging goes berserk and doesnt bring down the whole system...have things changed since I checked this out a few years ago? | 16:18 |
| isasha | Quick question: if I create symlinks in a certain directory to various other ones (/media/ and /home/user/ in particular), will I be able to access the entirety of the folders I have linked to over NFS? | 16:18 |
| jgcampbell300 | compdoc, not really ... theres just so many options and i get indeciceve lol ... gota start some where .... as for VMware and VirtualBox im pretty sure those are type 2 and i am looking for type 1 ... or if they could make up there mind type 0 | 16:18 |
| PeterCassetta | Peldan, I would imagine it's something to do with how optirun works. (I seem to remember it running a command as a another user, but I'm not positive about that.) | 16:18 |
| Peldan | But it SHOULD work? | 16:19 |
| isasha | I must note that with the permissions I have right now accessing all the files over SMB isn't an issue, it's just too slow | 16:19 |
| Peldan | How does the command optirun work anyways, does it search my whole computer for the file I am referring to or what? PeterCassetta | 16:19 |
| compdoc | jgcampbell300, it really depends on your requirments. kvm is better as a server, where virtualbox is better at graphics | 16:19 |
| jgcampbell300 | I am sure i dont have a full understanding of it yet so i guess i just need to pick one or two and start building to see some results ... or maybe find a you tube videos | 16:19 |
| PeterCassetta | Peldan: It looks for the file "dota_linux" in your $PATH. | 16:20 |
| PeterCassetta | Which can be different for different users. | 16:20 |
| jgcampbell300 | compdoc, well i have 4 2950's in my dev lab i have access to ... one of them i want to replace my desktop with and have plenty of guest os's ... the other 3 will be loaded with server based stuff | 16:21 |
| YokoBR | Guys, please, my dns service is not working | 16:21 |
| Beast- | have you tried turning it off and on again? | 16:21 |
| Rory | How do I cd into a directory that starts with a "-" character? I even tried escaping with a \ but I still get invalid argument, how do I escape it? | 16:21 |
| compdoc | jgcampbell300, unless theyve changed it, virtualbox doesnt load VMs automatically at boot. | 16:21 |
| designbybeck_ | I have a brand new HP 2000 laptop AMD 4GB RAM with Windows 8, I went and disabled Secure boot, andchangeed the boot order. 1304 64bit does start booting and then the whole system shuts down | 16:21 |
| PeterCassetta | Peldan: Run "echo $PATH"; it'll output the value of your $PATH variable to the terminal. | 16:21 |
| Peldan | Thing is, I installed both firefox and steam etc at the same time, and they both work. Then I installed dota_linux and it doesn't work with optirun so the most logical thing I can think of is that it just can't find the file | 16:21 |
| designbybeck_ | This laptop is going to Africa at the end of the week! I was hoping to have a dual booting system | 16:22 |
| Peldan | Thanks, PeterCassetta! Will try putting it there | 16:22 |
| compdoc | jgcampbell300, I think VB is more for personal use | 16:22 |
| designbybeck_ | I didn't want to setup the Windows8 side, because I want the other person to do that | 16:22 |
| PeterCassetta | Peldan: Just adding "dota_linux" to your path wouldn't do anything. | 16:22 |
| jgcampbell300 | ya ... I really want to stay away from type 2 ... i would like to save as much resources as i can for the accual immages insted of the host os | 16:22 |
| YokoBR | Im having some sort of a problem with resolv.conf | 16:23 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Rory: use double quotes and no \'s | 16:23 |
| PeterCassetta | Peldan: If you can find the folders in your $PATH, you should be able to locate the "dota_linux" file. | 16:23 |
| Peldan | PeterCassetta: I mean placing for an example dota_linux into usr/games/ | 16:23 |
| SonikkuAmerica | designbybeck_: all right, calm down... | 16:23 |
| designbybeck_ | ;) | 16:23 |
| YokoBR | :( | 16:24 |
| designbybeck_ | I had another guy with almost the same HP2000 laptop, but he didn't want to keep windows so we didn't worry about this. I don't know if this is a hardware issue or not SonikkuAmerica | 16:24 |
| SonikkuAmerica | designbybeck_: What do you mean, first off, by changing the boot order? | 16:24 |
| designbybeck_ | SonikkuAmerica: so that it booted from the USB and not the main harddrive | 16:24 |
| YokoBR | Guys, ive upgraded from 10.04 server to 12.04, everything looks fine but dns | 16:25 |
| PeterCassetta | Peldan: The main thing that you need to do is find the absolute path of the "dota_linux" file, so you can then try running something like "optirun /full/path/to/dota_linux". | 16:25 |
| Beast- | designbybeck, that can be arainged in the bios, afaik | 16:25 |
| PeterCassetta | So Peldan, you basically need to find the dota_linux file on your hard drive. | 16:25 |
| jgcampbell300 | I do have access to 15 slightly older servers .... I guess i could look more twards building some form of cloud system for the servers | 16:25 |
| designbybeck_ | yes Beast- I did do that and I did boot, but the whole computer shuts down while trying to boot Uubntu | 16:25 |
| designbybeck_ | i can see the Ubuntu boot screen | 16:25 |
| ses1984 | hi, i just installed ubuntu 12.04 desktop and i was going to download and install oracle virtualbox. so i go to the site, and it says the site has an invalid security certificate | 16:26 |
| Peldan | PeterCassetta: I did, and it gave me this now "/usr/local/games/dota_linux: error while loading shared libraries: libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 16:26 |
| Peldan | " | 16:26 |
| Beast- | designbybeck_, sorry, just joined the channel | 16:26 |
| SonikkuAmerica | designbybeck_: You don't do that with UEFI... Do this instead: Change the BIOS boot order back, let it boot into Windows, choose the power menu and hold SHIFT and click Resta4t... | 16:26 |
| SonikkuAmerica | *Restart | 16:26 |
| ses1984 | i think this would be pretty unusual for a big company like oracle to have an invalid cert. the details of the cert say it's issued by verisign and expires in 2014...so it should be valid right? | 16:26 |
| shyaam_ | i need help compiling libmirage | 16:26 |
| ses1984 | firefox says that the error is "sec_error_unknown_issuer" so does my ubuntu install not trust any certs from verisign? | 16:27 |
| ses1984 | http://i.imgur.com/kHw8QZn.png this is what i see | 16:27 |
| designbybeck_ | SonikkuAmerica: I was tryingto avoid setting up the Win8 stuff, this is a brand new system and it has never booted Windows | 16:27 |
| SonikkuAmerica | designbybeck_: You should get a menu that has like 6 options in it; select Choose a device, and select you Live media. | 16:28 |
| designbybeck_ | SonikkuAmerica: you lost me on that one | 16:28 |
| designbybeck_ | I'm burning a DVD right now to try that route instead of the USB | 16:28 |
| YokoBR | Plse guys :( | 16:28 |
| SonikkuAmerica | designbybeck_: OK... Go change the boot order back to what it was originally. | 16:28 |
| designbybeck_ | ok | 16:29 |
| PeterCassetta | Peldan: Just to be clear, running only "dota_linux" works fine, right? | 16:29 |
| SonikkuAmerica | designbybeck_: Then, boot into Windows, but don't log on. | 16:29 |
| YokoBR | Omg | 16:29 |
| Silverrod | #india | 16:29 |
| Peldan | PeterCassetta: No, it seems to be something else wrong now. Only putting "dota_linux" gives me the same error | 16:30 |
| YokoBR | Guys pls | 16:30 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !patience | YokoBR: | 16:30 |
| ubottu | YokoBR:: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ | 16:30 |

| ses1984 | my time seems correct in the OS but i don't know if ssl verification is done with system time that might be wrong? | 16:32 |

| designbybeck_ | there is no skip or next on this page, only Connect | 16:36 |

| andryyy387 | mate is like old gnome | 17:10 |
| Modem80 | I think they have made the latest version of ubuntu to complicated | 17:10 |
| Modem80 | the design is horrible | 17:10 |
| Modem80 | the older editions were so much easier to navigate | 17:10 |
| cgt | Modem80: No need to elaborate on why Unity is horrible. | 17:11 |
| andryyy387 | there are a lot (!) of useful shortcuts, keep super pressed, you see them | 17:11 |
| Siyfion | Modem80: I dont think it's complex, just non-intuitive | 17:11 |

| gordonjcp | Modem80: because it's the best | 17:12 |
| MonkeyDust | !notunity | Modem80 | 17:12 |
| ubottu | Modem80: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. | 17:12 |
| gordonjcp | Modem80: it is by far the best desktop environment in any OS | 17:12 |
| m3kk | gordonjcp, also the slowest i have ever used | 17:12 |
| Modem80 | gordonjcp - what is another alternative u would recomend/? | 17:12 |
| gordonjcp | Modem80: it's even better than OSX | 17:12 |
| gordonjcp | Modem80: I wouldn't. I only recommend Unity | 17:12 |
| gordonjcp | m3kk: it's more responsive than Gnome 2 on equivalent hardware | 17:13 |
| m3kk | gordonjcp, you cant mean that on nothing but highend pc? | 17:13 |
| gordonjcp | m3kk: if it's *really* too slow, try XFCE | 17:13 |
| hitsujiTMO | YokoBR: can you please change the contents of /etc/resolv.conf to http://paste.ubuntu.com/6241383/ and then restart the networking service | 17:13 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Modem80: I recommend XFCE or LXDE if you don't want your desktop running slower | 17:13 |
| gordonjcp | m3kk: it's blindly fast on my 2GHz Core 2 Duo with 1GB | 17:13 |
| m3kk | gordonjcp, yep that is what im running to be fair. I want o run unity but nooope | 17:13 |
| m3kk | gordonjcp, nvidia? | 17:13 |
| gordonjcp | m3kk: it's the best of a bad bunch on my 1.8GHz Celeron with 512MB | 17:13 |
| gordonjcp | intel... | 17:13 |
| cgt | Modem80: You could also try the fallback mode in Gnome 3. It is similar to the old Gnome experience. | 17:14 |
| gordonjcp | m3kk: if you've got NVidia, try the binary drivers | 17:14 |
| gordonjcp | brb, got to pick someone up off the train | 17:14 |
| m3kk | gordonjcp, ive got intel e450 with amd hd 6320.. it should be able to run it ? | 17:14 |
| gordonjcp | m3kk: I'd imagine so | 17:14 |
| gordonjcp | m3kk: if you're really struggling, toss some more memory in | 17:14 |

| cgt | Modem80: yes | 17:16 |
| gordonjcp | Modem80: yes | 17:16 |
| m3kk | gordonjcp, perhaps unity depend more on activating correct drivers.,. but xfce isnt | 17:16 |
| cgt | Modem80: But you can install whatever desktop environment you want in any version of ubuntu | 17:16 |
| gordonjcp | m3kk: no idea | 17:16 |
| m3kk | gordonjcp, ok just a thought | 17:16 |
| Modem80 | cgt - i want my desktop to look like the older versions of gnome , will 12.04 look like the older versions? | 17:16 |
| cgt | Modem80: Not by default | 17:16 |
| MonkeyDust | Modem80 then you will never get used to the new desktop | 17:17 |

| SonikkuAmerica | designbybeck_: So it booted to a console? Try [ starts ] | 17:21 |
| dtcrshr | thanks | 17:21 |
| MonkeyDust | dtcrshr linuxlite is light and ubuntu based (but not supported here) | 17:21 |
| m3kk | dtcrshr, but xfce looks nicer.. both are more lightweight than default unity thou | 17:21 |
| SonikkuAmerica | designbybeck_: Or rather, [ startx ] | 17:21 |
| designbybeck_ | yeah | 17:21 |
| dtcrshr | yeah.. unity is VERY heavy | 17:21 |

| Jimy56 | sry bad channel | 17:22 |
| Modem80 | Windows 7 is better than Unity! | 17:23 |
| m3kk | dtcrshr, i have never tried MATE. its like old gnome2 ? | 17:23 |
| m3kk | Modem80, Microsoft is better then iPhone! | 17:23 |
| MonkeyDust | Modem80 please stop now, we understand that you don't like unity | 17:23 |
| m3kk | wait...errr | 17:23 |
| Modem80 | sorry | 17:23 |

| Modem80 | xubuntu - works great! | 17:25 |
| m3kk | dtcrshr, cinnamon is a nono for me... runs slow like unity here | 17:25 |
| MonkeyDust | Modem80 did you have a ubuntu support question? | 17:25 |
| dtcrshr | yeah.. too expensive for a little eye candy | 17:25 |
| dtcrshr | actually seeing both screenshots im on doublt between xubuntu and lubuntu | 17:25 |
| m3kk | dtcrshr, the menu is lagging behind and has al kind of delays | 17:25 |
| dtcrshr | xfce seems quite more finished | 17:25 |
| dtcrshr | ill give xubuntu a try | 17:26 |
| Beast- | quick question: what can i expect when installing a fresh 13.04 or 13.10 on a SSD? Do i still need to tweak all sorts of settings, or will it just work out of the box? | 17:26 |
| m3kk | dtcrshr, honeslty i have never tried LXDE, give xubuntu a try with the liveUSB/liveCD and see if it feels snappy enough | 17:26 |
| dtcrshr | sure m3kk ! | 17:27 |
| m3kk | dtcrshr, if it doesnt.. then create liveUSB with lubuntu and compare =) | 17:27 |
| limace255 | xubuntu roxx | 17:27 |
| * limace255 using this since some years, good stuff | 17:27 | |
| m3kk | dtcrshr, i craeted liveUSB with xubuntu and it ran FASTER in LIve session then my current Mint cinnamon did..amazing | 17:27 |
| m3kk | limace255, +1 | 17:27 |
| limace255 | :] | 17:28 |
| dtcrshr | actually on this acer and another student hp notebook, usb sticks with ubuntu wont boot never... I have some sticks with a bunch of distros settled up with sardu or yumi (gparted, ubcd, clonezilla, etc...) that works fine.. ubuntu keeps asking for something on the way | 17:28 |
| dtcrshr | I ressurected an old dvdRW to install them up | 17:28 |
| cac | m3kk, because cinnamon uses OpenGL compositing which will slow down your PC quite a bit | 17:28 |
| limace255 | well, some unuseful spent time with older releases, but since 4.8, perfect | 17:28 |
| dtcrshr | m3kk: my personal notebook im using lmde + mate, a low latency kernel and bumblebee package, its AWESOME | 17:29 |
| m3kk | cac, quite a much bit to tell you the truth. that is the way with unity as well? since i use radeon that can be the cause .. drivers | 17:29 |
| dtcrshr | for instance, on ubuntu unity dota2 give me 18, 20 fps | 17:29 |
| dtcrshr | with or without bumblebee | 17:29 |
| dtcrshr | on mint i get 32, 36 | 17:29 |
| cac | m3kk, yes. | 17:29 |
| m3kk | I have never heard of bumblebee | 17:29 |
| vooze | I have a little problem with my laptop-screen.. All the white + gray colors are like yellowish.. I have tried with both 13.10 and 12.04.... When the problem is only on the laptop-screen and not when I plug in the my monitor via HDMI, is the problem 100% the screen (like I need to return the laptop) or could it be somthing else? (its the new Intel HD 5200 Iris pro GPU) | 17:29 |
| cac | m3kk, use open source drivers or catalyst? | 17:29 |
| dtcrshr | m3kk: its a switcher between nvidia optimus vga and intel sandybridge | 17:30 |
| m3kk | cac, open source.. catalyst made the OS perform worse actually | 17:30 |
| cac | yeah | 17:30 |
| m3kk | dtcrshr, oh! | 17:30 |
| cac | it's bad with 2D acceleration | 17:30 |
| dtcrshr | without it its impossible to use the nvidia accelleration | 17:30 |
| cac | m3kk, I'm excited for Linux 3.12's radeon improvements, but it might take ubuntu forever to adopt that version | 17:31 |
| cac | m3kk, so if you want better performance you can try fedora | 17:31 |
| cac | or something else more bleeding edge than ubuntu | 17:31 |

| dtcrshr | cac, the experimental vga drivers for nvidia or ati are quite bleeding | 17:33 |
| dtcrshr | you can give a shot up on ubuntu also | 17:33 |
| m3kk | cac, really? fedora? why is that ? | 17:34 |
| m3kk | sorry for ot | 17:34 |
| m3kk | leaving now | 17:34 |
| m3kk | cac, will you follow me? | 17:35 |
| cac | m3kk, what? | 17:35 |
| cac | m3kk, Fedora has more updated packages | 17:35 |
| cac | Xorg versions, kernel versions, mesa versions, etc. | 17:36 |
| cac | dtcrshr, the proprietary ones? | 17:36 |
| cac | AMD proprietary drivers suck. | 17:36 |
| Ari-Yang | ^ | 17:36 |
| Ari-Yang | indeed | 17:36 |
| cac | And my card is legacy now. Even if I bought it in 2011. | 17:36 |
| cac | Going to stick with the open source drivers until I buy a Mac or build a PC with Intel graphics. | 17:37 |
| Ari-Yang | cac: fglrx has horrible 2d acceleration.... mesa 9.2 or greater, xf86-video-ati 7.2 is on par with fglrx when it comes to gaming | 17:37 |
| Ari-Yang | this is with open source radeon driver | 17:37 |
| dtcrshr | cac: the pre-released updates if enabled on your repos will bring up the experimel fglrx | 17:37 |
| cac | Ari-Yang, not really. I still get terrible fps with openarena on 1080p with mesa. | 17:38 |
| parasaurolophus | where can i get help with libreoffice writer? it's a simple question about aligning text | 17:38 |
| IdleOne | cac: All very interesting but nothing to do with ubuntu support. If you feel like chatting please join us in #ubuntu-offtopic | 17:38 |
| cac | Ari-Yang, source games are even worse. | 17:38 |
| Ari-Yang | I myself run mesa 9.3 xf86-video-ati 7.2... | 17:38 |
| dtcrshr | cac well, if you like games, run from ingel graphics | 17:38 |
| Ari-Yang | cac: what mesa version? | 17:38 |
| Ari-Yang | are you using? | 17:38 |
| dtcrshr | besides the optimus / intel mashup is quite nice here | 17:38 |
| cac | dtcrshr, there is no experimental version of fglrx for me. My card is legacy. | 17:39 |
| IdleOne | Ari-Yang: dtcrshr Please continue the conversation in #ubuntu-offtopic and keep this channel free for support only | 17:39 |
| Ari-Yang | *nod* | 17:39 |
| cac | Ari-Yang, on this box, whatever ubuntu 13.04 comes with | 17:39 |
| dtcrshr | hmm mine is quite older, I dunno if its legacy.. its hd6790 | 17:39 |
| Ari-Yang | cac: what's the output of glxinfo | grep -i opengl ? | 17:39 |
| Ari-Yang | it should tell you the mesa version | 17:39 |
| dtcrshr | sorry IdleOne, ill bail | 17:40 |
| cac | Ari-Yang, 9.1.4 | 17:41 |
| cac | my netbook which runs openbsd has 9.2, lol. | 17:41 |
| Ari-Yang | Ari-Yang: ummm yeah, there are a lot of improvements in 9.2 and on... Like I said before, gaming is on par with fglrx... I know some guys who have ditched fglrx and went with mesa 9.2 or 9.3 setup | 17:42 |
| cac | I ran openbsd on this desktop once, experienced similar if not the same fps with linux when running -current | 17:42 |
| cac | Ari-Yang, replying to yourself? | 17:42 |
| Ari-Yang | tab fail | 17:42 |
| Ari-Yang | *shrugs* | 17:43 |
| cac | Ari-Yang, gaming is not on par with my box | 17:43 |
| Ari-Yang | k | 17:43 |
| cac | source games run terribly | 17:43 |
| cac | openarena runs terribly | 17:43 |
| cac | everything is slower with mesa | 17:43 |
| Ari-Yang | cac: and you're running 7.2 of the radeon driver? | 17:43 |
| Ari-Yang | cac: and you're using kernel 3.10 or greater? | 17:43 |
| Ari-Yang | cac: if that's the case, then maybe that's why | 17:43 |
| cac | phoronix's benchmarks find mesa is very far from being "on par" with fglrx | 17:43 |
| cac | Ari-Yang, I did on fedora | 17:44 |
| cac | I'm on xubuntu right now | 17:44 |
| IdleOne | cac: Ari-Yang Seriously, please take this discussion to PM or #ubuntu-offtopic | 17:44 |
| Ari-Yang | :K | 17:44 |
| cac | IdleOne, ok | 17:44 |
| blz | Hello! I have a laptop that's not always connected to my home network. Is there a way to automatically mount my home network's NFS shares only when I'm on said home network? | 17:49 |
| Mikey^ | Hello | 17:51 |
| blz | What's the best way to go about making a user's files unreadable by users not in his group? | 17:51 |
| Mikey^ | I run Ubuntu 13.04 and when I use skype (with video), sometimes it automatically logs off. | 17:51 |
| blz | by default it appears that any user can read files from any other user and I'd like that not to be the case | 17:51 |
| Mikey^ | When I dont have video, there is no problem. | 17:51 |
| limace255 | blz : user/group strategy | 17:51 |
| andry | blz, chmod a-rwx && chown you:you file | 17:52 |
| minimec_ | blz: Change the 'properties' of /home/yourname | 17:52 |
| andry | chmod a-rwx file && chown you:you file | 17:52 |
| andry | sorry | 17:52 |
| Mikey^ | I have an AMD onboard graphics card. I have installed the drivers from the AMD website. If I use the drives with ubuntu, I see random lines acorss the screen. | 17:52 |
| === minimec_ is now known as minimec | ||
| blz | andry can I just apply that to /home/user ? | 17:53 |
| andry | better not | 17:53 |
| andry | there are some files that need cross-access | 17:53 |
| bekks | blz: If you do, you will break things. | 17:53 |
| blz | bekks, , andry so making one user's files unreadable by other users is a bad idea? | 17:53 |
| hitsujiTMO | blz: that should be chmod o-rwx not a-rwz | 17:53 |
| limace255 | blz: depends the files you want to "protect" | 17:54 |
| blz | limace255, pretty much the contents of /home/myuser | 17:54 |
| === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler | ||
| andry | the whole $home is a bad idea, i would apply the rules to only some of the folders inside home | 17:54 |
| blz | andry okay, fair enough | 17:55 |
| limace255 | with the entire /home/user, you'll have some errors, like .gvfs | 17:55 |
| andry | just chown the folder to you:you (not you:users), then chown a-rwx (=all no read/write/execute) | 17:55 |
| limace255 | the best choice is, like andry said, choose a folder, put the necessary files inside, and apply your strategy | 17:55 |
| bekks | a-rwx is a bad idea. You dont want others to write things in your home. | 17:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | andry: o-rwx don't you mean | 17:55 |
| blz | andry I'm not very clear on what that means, actually. Chown me:me means that the group is changed from `users` to `me` ? | 17:55 |
| bekks | blz: What do you actually want to do? | 17:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | andry: a-rwx will set a files permissions to ---------- | 17:56 |
| blz | bekks, I just want to make it so that other users can't see the contents of my home folder | 17:56 |
| limace255 | chown means the files will be user's ones | 17:56 |
| andry | oops ;D sorry, yes, o | 17:56 |
| limace255 | blz: ow, ok | 17:57 |
| bekks | blz: Then run, as your user: chmod 700 /home/user | 17:57 |
| andry | 750 | 17:57 |
| bekks | 700. | 17:57 |
| andry | or 700, | 17:57 |
| blz | bekks, right that was what I was originally thinkning, but apparently this breaks things? | 17:57 |
| andry | :P | 17:57 |
| bekks | Other users shall not see anything, so 700. | 17:57 |
| andry | yes, if it is you:users | 17:57 |
| blz | I'm open to suggestions, but I'm a bit overwhelmend! Everybody is suggesting something different ^^ | 17:57 |
| bekks | blz: a-rwx is the same as 777 which will break things. | 17:57 |
| blz | *overwhelmed, even | 17:57 |
| bwayne | blz: listen to bekks | 17:57 |
| bekks | blz: Run as user: chmod 700 /home/user | 17:57 |
| andry | no, a+ is 777 | 17:58 |
| blz | bekks, okay, but won't that break things? | 17:58 |
| andry | haha yes, just chmod 700 | 17:58 |
| hitsujiTMO | bekks: a-rwx = 000 | 17:58 |
| bekks | blz: No. It will remove access for others but your user. | 17:58 |
| limace255 | but normally, if you put yourself in a single group, others users won't have access to your /home, I guess | 17:58 |
| blz | bekks, and that shouldn't create any problems? I just want to be double-sure | 17:58 |
| blz | Sorry if I'm being a pain | 17:59 |
| bekks | blz: If it does, just run: chmod 750 /home/user | 17:59 |
| blz | bekks, okay, will do | 17:59 |
| blz | bekks, limace255 hitsujiTMO, andry, thanks for the help! | 18:01 |
| blz | Next question: I have a laptop that's not always connected to my home network. Is there a way to automatically mount my home network's NFS shares only when I'm on said home network? | 18:01 |
| andry | i wonder if 700 is fine, you can tell us later, if you want | 18:01 |
| blz | andry, I'll definitely be back if there are problems =) | 18:02 |
| bekks | andry: Sure it is fine, unless you want to share contents from your home. | 18:02 |
| bekks | andry: as a regular user on a multiuser system, you want your home to be private. | 18:03 |
| andry | there are some configs in there .. but as long as you dont chmod recursive to no group access it should work | 18:03 |
| === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off | ||
| andry | yes, but not-readable is a bit more than private | 18:03 |
| andry | maybe some apps want to read private config files etc | 18:04 |

| `Dooku | just installed ubuntu and it sais that its a wrong password of my username when I KNOW its not | 19:01 |
| tjj | What do you guys recommend for a 17"+ screen + good CPU? I want to do coding on it so I want some power | 19:01 |
| tgm4883 | `Dooku, yea, it probably is | 19:01 |
| fishcooker | that's it .. i tell you the detail from the manufacturer | 19:01 |
| limace255 | Dooku : checked numlock ? | 19:01 |
| bekks | fishcooker: you could try a mainline kernel (from the according ppa) - but be aware that it might not work. | 19:02 |
| fishcooker | that's my consideration | 19:02 |
| `Dooku | yes I did guys, actually I trid in all this time with the regular numbers not with the nu lock | 19:02 |
| tjj | bekks: Can you recommend a high-powered laptop that's not for suckers? | 19:02 |
| raub | bekks, limace255: something like this: http://pastie.org/private/i35za17ohzt70biec3ggw | 19:02 |
| wilee-nilee | `Dooku, change it or reinstall both are fairly easy. | 19:02 |
| `Dooku | I mean I am logged on and all now but it did that while trying to apply the updates | 19:02 |
| fishcooker | this box is running well on 10.04 but not in graphic bekks | 19:02 |
| fishcooker | it sucks | 19:02 |
| `Dooku | well that's the thing wilee-nilee it sais its incorrect when I try to change it | 19:03 |
| bekks | tjj: No, since this is ubuntu support and not ##hardware :) | 19:03 |
| raub | I think I copied that from my centos test box but in the end of the show I want to do in both ubunut and centos. | 19:03 |
| bekks | fishcooker: Do you run 10.04 desktop? | 19:03 |
| fishcooker | nope server | 19:03 |
| bekks | fishcooker: Then why do you need graphics on a server at all? | 19:03 |
| limace255 | Dooku : azerty/qwerty mode on keyboard ? | 19:03 |
| tjj | bekks: Yeah, I'm trying to do my research so I don't have to come back and ask for ubuntu support _after_ I spend $2000 :-) | 19:03 |
| `Dooku | what's that limace255? | 19:04 |
| gordonjcp | fishcooker: servers tend not to have graphics | 19:04 |
| wilee-nilee | `Dooku, You may not be doing it correctly or something is broken. How experienced are you with this? | 19:04 |
| limace255 | your keyboard default language | 19:04 |
| gordonjcp | tjj: just get a macbook | 19:04 |
| `Dooku | how can I check that limace255? | 19:04 |
| limace255 | english : qwerty | 19:04 |
| limace255 | well, test it on your login prompt | 19:04 |
| `Dooku | wilee-nilee somehow I figured it out and I got the updates installed | 19:04 |
| limace255 | type azerty, or the first 6 of your keyboard | 19:05 |

| jackarg | hi, when I try to execute "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh" to enable dvd playback, it says wget could not fetch the site packages.medibuntu.org. indeed when I try to access it from the internet it seems down. Do you know what's wrong? | 19:05 |
| tjj | gordonjcp: I'm really trying to get a 17" or 18" | 19:05 |
| bekks | jackarg: Look at www.medibuntu.org to see why. | 19:05 |
| dklps2 | hi all | 19:06 |
| raub | limace255: so #linux was *not* the right place to ask about logrotate | 19:06 |
| limace255 | ok | 19:07 |
| raub | Where else can I ask about it | 19:07 |
| bekks | raub: What exactly happens...? | 19:07 |
| tgm4883 | raub, I missed the initial question | 19:07 |
| limace255 | raub : look at tuto about it | 19:07 |
| raub | As soon as I mentioned rsyslog, the reply was "well, that surely is a rsyslog question. Now scoot after the rsylog room" | 19:07 |
| * limace255 remember to have found some awesome ones | 19:07 | |
| bekks | raub: You pasted some config but didnt state the problem, correcrt? | 19:07 |
| tgm4883 | raub, who said that, we should probably burn that person | 19:08 |
| jackarg | bekks, ok, so why can't they update that command? And what am I supposed to do to enable dvd playback? Since this is now obsolete: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | 19:08 |
| tgm4883 | jackarg, it's almost as if that is a.... wiki | 19:08 |
| bekks | jackarg: The site is down. No one cares about what they did in the past. There is no one left who updates packages. Thats called "it is down". | 19:08 |
| bekks | jackarg: Did you read the full text on their site? | 19:09 |
| raub | limace255: All the docs I see assume you provide a list of logs related to a given program, logrotate or fail2ban (if its logs are not sent to syslog) or whatever. | 19:09 |
| raub | So, you have a bunch of log files, say, related to rsyslog. Which are then treated the very same way | 19:09 |
| raub | What I need is to have some of those log files being treated differently. | 19:10 |
| gdos | how do i restart my audio output hardware? the only device that shows up is the dummy audio device. | 19:10 |
| fishcooker | because this box running java apps | 19:10 |
| fishcooker | gordonjcp: bekks | 19:10 |
| raub | So, can I have more than one postrotate in the same file? If so, what happens if I tell logrotate to restart rsyslog twice? | 19:11 |
| jackarg | bekks tgm4883 ok guys stop attacking me here. All I want to know is how do I enable dvd playback now | 19:11 |
| tgm4883 | raub, not sure I understand. You specify the different log files related to a particular program and each can have it's own settings | 19:11 |
| jackarg | this community is good at putting people down isn't it | 19:11 |
| bekks | jackarg: I am not attacking you at all. I am telling you whats up with medibuntu, and where to get help regarding their libdvdcss stuff. | 19:12 |
| raub | tgm4883: take a look at my pastebin, http://pastie.org/private/i35za17ohzt70biec3ggw | 19:12 |
| bekks | jackarg: If you dont like it, I'll stop it instantly - I am resting your case. | 19:12 |
| raub | Ignore it is centos because that is the only one I had at hand. Only line that changes is what is under the postrotate | 19:12 |
| raub | Ok, and some of the log filenames ;0 | 19:12 |
| jackarg | bekks, ok so what is the solution | 19:13 |
| raub | So, all those log files are created by rsyslog | 19:13 |
| bekks | jackarg: I am resting your case. I told you what to do. | 19:13 |
| raub | I want the first 5 to be treated using the default (create a cron.1 file, for instance) | 19:13 |

| bDUC_ | I just started using linux for the first time yesterday. I think I might've broken it. Terminal does not work anymore. | 19:24 |

| blz | bekks, I did install and configure fail2ban, but I doubt that's related | 19:29 |
| ObrienDave | designbybeck_... I seriously doubt a physical problem | 19:30 |
| wilee-nilee | Crockeo, I would not waste you time with it theoretically you can upgrade it, however it is not strongly supported nor does anyone here really use it. Any OS fully installed can be installed or removed at you whim, wubi is just a file in windows and a waste of time really. | 19:30 |

| MangaKaDenza | control alt t | 19:31 |
| wilee-nilee | bDUC_, Since you are new at this you want to learn not to do things you can't fix or reverse. | 19:31 |
| raub | blz: check if the shares are being seen in the client | 19:31 |
| Crockeo | wilee-nilee: Alright. I think I'm still gonna waste my time with it, but forego upgrading it. I'll just see if the library works well, if it doesn't then I'll probably just go ahead and uninstall wubi. If it does work well then to the Ubuntu-mobile i go. :) | 19:32 |

| Yowl | *sake | 19:37 |
| trism | arussel: it starts ubuntu1, ubuntu2, etc, and the .1, .2 are usually SRU or security updates | 19:37 |
| raub | blz: you might have to explicitly export the directory or something. Remember only the root has the fsid=0 | 19:37 |
| raub | See my pastebin example | 19:37 |
| raub | That's what I use | 19:37 |
| blz | raub, aaah yeah that might ahve something to do with it ^^ | 19:38 |

| pbx | hello. fresh install of 13.04 on a dell xps 13. running fine... but screen is super-dim and not responding to brightness control panel. i know this is a known issue. how do i fix? | 19:38 |
| raub | Which reminds me: me /export/logs should only be seen by one machine :) | 19:38 |
| arussel | trism: does it always goes up, or restart from 0 each time a new version of the app itself is out ? | 19:39 |
| bDUC_ | tozen: I think I might have "sudo make install"'d another version of vte before apt-get install libvte9 | 19:40 |
| trism | arussel: it resets with each new upstream version, or new debian version depending | 19:40 |
| bDUC_ | might this be an issue? | 19:40 |
| trism | arussel: usually the new upstream version goes into debian, and then we get the debian version which resets the ubuntu versioning scheme | 19:40 |
| trism | arussel: basically it just counts the patches we have on top of the debian package | 19:40 |
| Yowl | Does it matter for the sake of LVM and enhanced data security from resizing partitions, whether a partition was made before or after its installation? | 19:41 |
| gdos | two part question because i think one is related to the other: 1. how do edit services (which ones start and which ones don't)? 2. my physical audio device has now become my dummy audio device. I followed the instructions here but to no avail (meaning these instructions didn't work for me): http://itsfoss.com/fix-sound-ubuntu-1304-quick-tip/ (i'm thinking my issue is related to JACK) | 19:41 |
| arussel | trism: so the 4.1 -> 4.2 would be a security update due to a problem on the packaging, not the root app (I'm assuming here that if curl1.1 get a security update, then it will be moved to 1.2) | 19:42 |
| jdoles | Why do I not have any working audio device? | 19:42 |
| trism | arussel: no in the case of security updates they are applied as patches to the upstream version, usually backported | 19:42 |
| raub | Where does network manager store dhcp lease info? Specifically for a wireless connection if it matters | 19:42 |
| jdoles | In my previous boot, I had working sound. | 19:42 |
| trism | arussel: occasionally we will get completely new upstream versions to deal with those issues but most of the time not | 19:44 |
| bDUC_ | So nobody with an idea of the problem when I get this while trying to run gnome-terminal from xterm? "GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend. Your settings will not be saved or shared with other Applications. gnome-terminal: symbol lookup error: gnome-terminal: undefined symbol: vte_terminal_set_alternate_screen_scroll"? | 19:46 |

| tgm4883 | Yowl, well 11.10 isn't supported anymore, so I'd imagine you are unable to install it because the repo doesn't exist | 20:00 |
| zykotick9 | blz: you export directories you want from the nfs-server, which typically isn't /... | 20:00 |
| flan_suse | I cannot get rid of the message about procps, even if I do apt-get upgrade. It wants to "upgrade" nothing, and spits out the same message: "dpkg: error processing procps (--configure)" | 20:01 |
| blz | zykotick9, sure, but doing `sudo mount -t nfs4 -o proto=tcp,port=2049 192.168.0.14:/nfs/ /mnt` gives me a similar result | 20:01 |
| pbx | brightness controls not working on Dell XPS 13 with 13.04. anybody? | 20:01 |
| blz | namely an empty /mnt | 20:01 |
| raub | tgm4883: good call, but he can still use the sites that keep old distros | 20:01 |
| bDUC_ | So I found out vte 3.0+ breaks gnome terminal. Installing an earlier version over it doesn't work. How do I get rid of the broken version? | 20:01 |
| bekks | windows: That will not work, whe randomly changing commands. | 20:01 |
| Yowl | tgm4883: I figured it might be something like that | 20:01 |
| blz | FWIF, my /etc/exports now has these two lines: `/export 192.168.0.0/24(ro,fsid=0,no_subtree_check,async)` and `/export/nfs 192.168.0.0/24(ro,crossmnt,insecure,no_subtree_check,async)` | 20:02 |
| bekks | windows: Uninstall your vbox version, and install the official vbox version from the official vbox website. | 20:02 |

| linus | somebody can help me "http://dpaste.com/hold/1418005/" | 20:02 |
| zykotick9 | blz: what is ".. proto=tcp,port=2049 .." for? are you sure you need it? | 20:02 |
| computa_mike | Just thought I'd ask this question (although I may have to dissapear from the keyboard for a bit)... I'm preparing a presentation for oggcamp, and on one of the slides I'm working on I'd like to put the Bazaar logo, as the slide talks about the use of bazaar for animation scene management. Do i need any special clearance to use the Bazaar logo on a slide that will talk about Bazaar - I think I'm ok doing that, but it would be | 20:02 |
| windows | bekks: ok. is the ubuntu store not reliable? | 20:02 |
| popey | computa_mike: no | 20:02 |
| blz | zykotick9, I'm just following the tutorial here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NFSv4Howto | 20:02 |
| bekks | windows: I never used it. | 20:02 |
| blz | zykotick9, should I try mounting differently? | 20:02 |
| Yowl | tgm4883: Do you concur that it doesn't matter at all if a partition is made before or after installation of LVM? | 20:02 |
| zykotick9 | blz: you wouldn't typically need to export /foo and then /foo/bar... the first will cover the second. | 20:02 |
| windows | bekks: fair enough | 20:03 |
| blz | zykotick9, how do you mean? Sorry, this is all very new to me | 20:03 |
| zykotick9 | blz: i just use "mount IP:/export/dir /foo" | 20:03 |
| blz | zykotick9, ok let me try that | 20:03 |
| computa_mike | popey: so I'm | 20:03 |
| computa_mike | popey: sorry - miss type. Thanks for clearing that up. :) | 20:03 |

| === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off | ||
| zykotick9 | blz: did you restart the nfs server after adding the exports? | 20:04 |
| Pici | computa_mike: or nevermind ;) | 20:04 |
| raub | Yowl: the partition for lvm you can create any time | 20:04 |
| blz | zykotick9, yes | 20:04 |
| raub | But then you need lvm to do pvcreate :) | 20:04 |
| zykotick9 | blz: are you sure there is something in those directories? | 20:04 |
| blz | zykotick9, oh shi- ... i think that might not be an error at all | 20:04 |
| computa_mike | Pici: thanks | 20:04 |
| blz | zykotick9, it seems as though my directory is empty, meaning I somehow rm'ed my files =( | 20:05 |
| Yowl | raub: Just to be clear on your meaning, you're saying it doesn't matter of the partition was made before or after LVM? I thought just perhaps LVM kept track of some data during creation or something | 20:06 |
| windows | How can I search all installed packages? | 20:06 |
| bekks | Yowl: Correct. It doesnt matter. | 20:06 |
| bDUC_ | This is driving me nuts. Say I "sudo make install" on vte 0.34 and I want to remove everything it did. What do I do? | 20:07 |
| raub | Yowl: which partition are we talking about? When I setup lvm I need partition(s) that I will use with it | 20:07 |
| raub | Then I pvcreate them | 20:07 |
| raub | vgcreate and then lvcreate the partitions *inside* lvm that I will be providing to the system | 20:08 |
| bekks | raub: He is trying to install the lvm package and cant do it, because of the server being unreachable currently. | 20:08 |
| zykotick9 | bDUC_: try "sudo make uninstall" | 20:08 |
| bDUC_ | zykotick9: I love you so much <3 | 20:08 |
| Yowl | raub: I don't understand the question, "which partition" almost sounds like your asking me what I label them or something | 20:09 |
| flan_suse | Okay, I figured out the problem myself. If anyone is interested. Here was my problem: "I cannot get rid of the message about procps, even if I do apt-get upgrade. It wants to 'upgrade' nothing, and spits out the same message: 'dpkg: error processing procps (--configure)'" Turns out, SpiderOak created an invalid *.conf file under /etc/sysctl.d/. Commenting it out solved my problem. | 20:09 |
| raub | bekks: unreacheable as in no internet connection or? | 20:09 |
| bekks | raub: Yes. | 20:09 |
| === jalcine is now known as jalcine_ | ||
| zykotick9 | bDUC_: in future, look into checkinstall - it creates DEBs from source, for easy removal. | 20:09 |
| bekks | Yowl: You should fix your internet connectiom first, to actually install the lvm package. | 20:10 |
| raub | bekks: shouldn't the install iso have lvm? | 20:10 |
| bekks | raub: Depends on how he installed ubuntu before. | 20:10 |
| Yowl | bekks: Nothing is wrong with my internet connection. "first, to Install the lvm package" first before? | 20:11 |

| bekks | Yowl: You said you have problems installing the lvm package. Did you even check wether it is already installed? | 20:11 |
| Yowl | bekks It would say it was installed in ubuntu software center, if it were installed | 20:12 |
| bekks | Yowl: Did you check it? | 20:12 |
| raub | Yowl: type lvs | 20:12 |
| raub | if it works chances are you have lvm installed | 20:13 |

| repudiate | kimphill: Should I opt for KDE instead? | 20:48 |
| ObrienDave | funkt... audio CDs have their own FS | 20:48 |
| funkt | not according to that link? | 20:48 |
| funkt | I dont know | 20:49 |
| funkt | do you know where the FS is? | 20:49 |
| k1l | repudiate: no. please see the bots message. there are other gnome based desktops included in the repos, that maybe look more the way oyu like from the start | 20:50 |
| histo | funkt: what are you trying to do? | 20:50 |
| funkt | I am trying desperate to rip and tag tracks through puddletag if you have heard of the software and in order to do this I need to import a folder but I cannot find the folder for the audio cd | 20:51 |
| funkt | does this make sense? | 20:51 |
| histo | funkt: /dev/cdrom | 20:52 |
| funkt | Or do you know of any other way if you are familiar with this software? | 20:52 |
| funkt | there is no such directory on my install histo | 20:53 |
| histo | funkt: well substitute for whichever dev for your cd | 20:53 |
| funkt | in ask ubuntu it seems to state "Audio CDs are a bit different - there's no actual filesystem there and as such they can't be mounted. " | 20:53 |
| histo | funkt: somewhat true | 20:54 |
| icesword | test | 20:54 |
| funkt | histo what does that mean? | 20:54 |
| genii | funkt: Do you have a /dev/sr0 ? | 20:54 |
| histo | funkt: let me read up on whatever puddletag is hold up | 20:54 |
| histo | funkt: how are you going to use puddletag to edit tag info on an audio cd? They aren't mp3s | 20:55 |
| funkt | I know.... slightly confused histo should I rip the cd first as unknown tracks? | 20:56 |
| funkt | thanks histo | 20:56 |
| histo | funkt: yes | 20:56 |
| funkt | once i have the files you are saying puddletag will then extract the info? | 20:56 |
| histo | funkt: you need to rip the cd to mp3 or ogg. Then you can use puddletag to edit those files tag information if you want. Although I don't see why you wouldn't just rip them properly in the first place | 20:56 |
| funkt | the reason is once ripped muzicbrainz is very limited | 20:57 |
| funkt | which seems to be the default database for a lot of the software | 20:57 |
| funkt | puddletag seems to have about four diff music databases | 20:57 |
| raub | A port which is blocked (DROP) in iptables should show up as filtered, right? | 20:58 |
| histo | funkt: yeah then rip and fix with puddletag if you want. | 20:58 |
| histo | funkt: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping | 20:58 |

| karen_ | Hi, my daughter has a site for audio books that her kids like to listen to, LibreVox.org. They were listening to Jungle Book on two different computers, but when she went to get on her computer with Ubuntu, it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I've tried it on my Ubuntu too with the same results. There is usually no sound unless you open the sound with Rythmbox. Being we're both kind of new with ubuntu, we want to know if that is n | 21:29 |
| karen_ | ormal or should we download something else? The sound works good with Rythmbox but their pretty colorful screen during the reading sometimes doesn't come up. Are we missing something? | 21:29 |

| veryhappy | or rather about codecs | 21:31 |
| antar | veryhappy, sorry i have nt the luck actually :( | 21:32 |
| karen_ | ya sometimes crazy to even load. Maybe it's just a funny site to deal with being it's free and people donate their time to make it work. | 21:32 |
| veryhappy | antar: it's ok | 21:32 |
| Star-Flower | probably because its spelled librivox.org not librevox.org | 21:33 |

| gregor30051 | hi, i installed updates and during the updates i had a power failure. now ubuntu can't boot because he didn't find the lvm vg because he didn't opened the encrypted partition. how can i fix it? i went into chroot and finished the updates + updated grub (update-grub) but the problem still persists | 21:34 |
| raub | mrkent: you need to find out which packages you need to install | 21:34 |
| karen_ | oWELL, sorry I have Ubuntu 12.04 | 21:34 |

| cappyt | Hi everyone, i have a problem doing a live/installable iso based on my current system. I run 13.04 and i tried using remastersys, but it seems not working anymore... anyone has suggestions? | 21:34 |
| raub | mrkent: How was that package installed? | 21:34 |
| Star-Flower | karen_, seems to work well in 13.04, opens and plays just fine | 21:34 |
| veryhappy | can someone please explain me which is the more important one? sample rate or bitrate? thank you | 21:34 |
| antar | gregor30051, maybe you can reinstall the grub | 21:35 |
| gregor30051 | antar: ok, i try it | 21:35 |
| raub | cappyt: try to elaborate on the problem | 21:35 |
| karen_ | really O.K. ya it does for me too the first one, but try chapter two. please | 21:35 |
| Star-Flower | I tried several chapters, had to refresh once but it still seems to work just fine | 21:36 |
| raub | mrkent: ldd might help you identify the libraries you need | 21:36 |
| mrkent | raub, basically just by unpacking | 21:37 |
| karen_ | hummm do you see the pretty colors and hear the sound without having to open Rhythmbox? | 21:37 |
| cappyt | raub i'm very new to this type of things and i don't know how to trubleshoot them, cause the log doesn't show errors (in my opinion) | 21:37 |

| veryhappy | antar: could you try to sort them for me? if possible? | 21:42 |
| Star-Flower | karen_, you can press ctrl+alt+t and then type in sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras and press enter to see if mp3 support has been installed | 21:42 |

| Syme | Hey all - I've got a problem installing Ubuntu on an Acer Aspire One laptop that seems to be somewhat common - I disabled the Windows function that prevents third-party OSes from being installed(that thing everyone hates), but now it's just showing me the SYSLINUX/Peter Anvin copyright page and won't go past that. The solutions I see online are telling me to change some things in the installation files, but what to change and how seems t | 21:43 |
| veryhappy | antar: what's the thing to give importance on? sample rate or bitrate? | 21:43 |
| karen_ | o.k. I'm going to try that right now. | 21:43 |
| veryhappy | Syme: what's your actual problem now? you don't get further in an installation? | 21:44 |
| blarghl | veryhappy: looks like they removed that option, no idea why. | 21:44 |
| metadave | is there a libiconv package for Ubuntu 13.04? | 21:45 |
| Syme | Yeah, I tell it to load from the USB stick, it goes to the SYSLINUX / Peter Anvin et al. copyright page, then it just stops. | 21:45 |
| veryhappy | blarghl: the only thing i recall about swapping was in keyboard settings in ubuntu | 21:45 |
| rangergord | I don't think I will mind Unity, but I'm not good with remembering icons, and prefer to rely on text. Will I have that option somehow, without using an alternative Ubuntu distro? | 21:45 |
| rangergord | I don't care if there's icon+text (like in the past), but icons alone are useless to me | 21:45 |
| Syme | According to my internet lurking I'm supposed to mess around with installation files in folders like isolinux but it seems to depend on a lot so I'm wondering what I do for a laptop like the one I have | 21:46 |
| mrkent | wylde, ubottu apt-file is similar to apt-cache search? | 21:46 |
| veryhappy | Syme: 2 ways to install from usb - usb loadlin or dd if=/path/to/source of=/path/to/destination | 21:46 |
| karen_ | o.k. when I put that command in, a bunch of stuff was installed and a few things uninstalled. I didn't see anything about mp3 yet. | 21:47 |
| wylde | mrkent: Yes but it will tell you what packages include specific files. After it's installed you use it like 'sudo apt-file update; apt-file find foo.so.1' | 21:47 |
| Syme | I don't mean to give the impression I'm not an idiot just because I use big fancy words like "isolinux" and "installation files", haha :p - all of this is kind of Greek to me | 21:48 |
| Syme | So I need to change some text in some file, I assume, to specify a destination or something? | 21:48 |
| veryhappy | Syme: i don't suppose you're an ideot. all i need are just further informations. | 21:48 |
| Syme | I'm just kidding, haha - but really, I am pretty lost here, that's all | 21:48 |
| mrkent | wylde, i see, cool thanks | 21:49 |
| veryhappy | Syme: what do you want to install for a version? | 21:49 |
| hewhomust | Syme do you want dualboot? | 21:49 |
| Infandum | I am booting into the liveusb and the wifi is not working. I have the error that my hard switch is on so I can't get wifi to work. I tried ubuntu 13.10 and now I'm trying Ubuntu Gnome 13.10 and I have the same problem. There is no hardware switch. I tried turning wifi on and off in the bios but that did not work. I tried the rfkill stuff and that did not work. Any suggestions? | 21:49 |
| Syme | Wel I think I have 13.04 Ubuntu on this Kingston DataTraveler USB stick. The laptop I | 21:49 |
| veryhappy | Syme: ok | 21:49 |
| Syme | 'm trying to install to is totally blank, no OS. I'm typing all this from a different laptop | 21:49 |
| veryhappy | hewhomust: i don't think that's important on this step now. | 21:49 |
| Syme | So no, not dualboot, just want to put ubuntu right onto the other laptop by itself | 21:49 |
| veryhappy | Syme: do you have some kind of linux there? | 21:50 |
| hewhomust | veryhappy, you can change the partitioning table if its in gpt to mbr much easier | 21:50 |
| veryhappy | hewhomust: didn't know that. thanks for the information. | 21:50 |
| Syme | The laptop I'm typing on and looking at the files in the USB from is running kubuntu, yeah | 21:50 |

| veryhappy | Syme: ok, that should be pretty easy if you try dd if of | 21:51 |
| karen_ | So, Star-Flower, is there anything more I should do? | 21:51 |
| Syme | Try dd? How do you mean? | 21:51 |
| veryhappy | Syme: i'm using an acer aspire 6930g | 21:51 |
| veryhappy | dd stands for disk dump | 21:52 |
| veryhappy | it's a terminal program | 21:52 |
| Syme | Okay | 21:52 |
| Syme | So, step by step, what do I do here | 21:52 |
| mrkent | wylde, so I ran apt-file find libexpat.so.0 which returned nothing | 21:52 |
| veryhappy | Syme: you can use it like this: dd if=/path/to/image (must be iso afaik) of=/path/to/usb stick (like /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc) | 21:53 |
| veryhappy | and then you press enter | 21:53 |
| karen_ | Where do i find mp3 - in restricted extras? Where's that? or is it in there already? | 21:53 |
| mrkent | and I already have a libexpat as a default package, but it seems that it doesn't provide same files | 21:53 |
| veryhappy | karen_: if you want to install an mp3 codec, better install vlc it comes with most useful codecs. | 21:53 |
| Warp4 | karen_, you mean something to play MP3s? | 21:53 |
| wilee-nilee | karen_: to play a mp3? | 21:54 |
| OerHeks | !find libexpat | 21:54 |
| ubottu | Found: libexpat1, libexpat1-dev, libexpat-gst, libexpat-ocaml, libexpat-ocaml-dev | 21:54 |
| Warp4 | karakedi, what veryhappy said | 21:54 |
| mrkent | Does redhat and ubuntu have same file paths for libraries? | 21:54 |
| Yowl | I was told dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/<device> for using urandom on a partition, could "<device>" be the label I gave said partition? | 21:54 |
| Syme | I'm confused - do I type that into the terminal here or is that something I do within the Ubuntu installation files? | 21:54 |
| veryhappy | Syme: into the terminal, right | 21:54 |
| mrkent | OerHeks, ya I have libexpat1 | 21:54 |

| fahadash | no suggestions for me ? | 22:08 |
| Syme | Hey all - I've got a problem installing Ubuntu on an Acer Aspire One laptop that seems to be somewhat common - I disabled the Windows function that prevents third-party OSes from being installed(that thing everyone hates), but now it's just showing me the SYSLINUX/Peter Anvin copyright page and won't go past that. The solutions I see online are telling me to change some things in the installation files, but what to change and how seems t | 22:08 |
| wilee-nilee | fahadash: if you have bad sectors get a new hd | 22:09 |

| theradman | Hi all, I have a quick question, I just installed ubuntu-raring-13.04 which is command line based. If I wanted to add a gui interface, e.g. gnome 13.04 (raring ringtail), is this possible to do on top of my os? Would a reinstallation be necessary? I dont want to change anything and risk having to reinstall everything | 22:13 |
| jubale | FoxIt Reader specifically. | 22:13 |
| veryhappy | Syme: i'm back, still any problems? | 22:13 |
| Ben64 | theradman: not sure what you mean, 13.04 is not command line by default. if it really is ubuntu, you can add any desktop you want | 22:14 |
| karen_ | O.K. I don't know how to use the vlc media player with LibriVox.org audio book site. How do you use it? | 22:14 |
| theradman | hmmm thanks Ben64, when I log into my beagle bone with a microhdmi cable to an external display, it only comes up as a command line interface | 22:15 |
| veryhappy | karen_: vlc is a player for media files, streams and dvds/vcds etc. it automatically brings its own codecs while installation. that's why the codecs should be installed while installation of vlc. | 22:15 |
| Rory | karen_: Does librivox.org give you a downloaded file? what happens when you open it in VLC? | 22:15 |
| theradman | am I not enabline something that I should be? | 22:15 |
| Ben64 | theradman: well thats a horse of a different color | 22:16 |
| Ben64 | !arm | theradman | 22:16 |
| ubottu | theradman: ARM is a specific (RISC) processor architecture used in a variety of applications such as handhelds and networkdevices. For more information see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM . For ARM specific support, stop by the #ubuntu-arm channel. | 22:16 |
| theradman | Ben64: ah thanks Ben64 I'll give this a read right now | 22:16 |
| karen_ | When I open VLC, it just give the regular video box with choices on the top for what to play. They have an internet button on top to choose where they say to type in the URL, but that doesn't work for some reason with even copying and pasting. | 22:17 |
| Rory | karen_: Can you give an example URL? | 22:17 |
| veryhappy | karen_: what Rory said | 22:17 |
| === epzil0n is now known as Guest69452 | ||
| karen_ | well, it's a longggggg url I can copy paste it for you, hang on. | 22:18 |
| veryhappy | karen_: | 22:18 |
| veryhappy | karen_: bit.ly | 22:18 |
| Rory | karen_: If it's very long use http://paste.ubuntu.com | 22:18 |
| veryhappy | karen_: you can also shorten the url with http://bit.ly | 22:19 |
| karen_ | s://www.google.com/search?q=libriVox.org&ie=UTF-8&sa=Search&channel=fe&client=browser-ubuntu&hl=en | 22:19 |
| karen_ | maybe it didn't get all of it. | 22:19 |
| veryhappy | https://www.google.com/search?q=libriVox.org&ie=UTF-8&sa=Search&channel=fe&client=browser-ubuntu&hl=en | 22:19 |
| veryhappy | karen_: corrected it for you | 22:20 |
| Yowl | Anyone on who can help me with /dev/urandom or a alternative to it for randomizing HDD space? | 22:20 |
| karen_ | what did you correct? | 22:20 |
| veryhappy | karen_: your url | 22:20 |
| karen_ | so what was wrong/ | 22:20 |
| Rory | karen_: That is a google search result | 22:20 |
| veryhappy | the first part was missing | 22:20 |
| Rory | karen_: VLC isn't magic enough to go through a web page and work out which part is a link to an actual media file | 22:21 |
| karen_ | ohhh o.k. so how do I find the correct one? sorry so dumb here. | 22:21 |
| Rory | karen_: You need to find a URL which, if you were to click in in a browser, a file would download | 22:21 |
| Rory | karen_: Forget the "open by URL" thing in VLC for now. Just try to find a file you can download from LibreVox and open it in VLC | 22:21 |
| veryhappy | karen_: this might be an .mp3 file or .wma | 22:21 |
| Rory | karen_: It'll probably be .mp3 or .ogg | 22:21 |
| veryhappy | Rory: :D if you confuse him much more he'll not find it at the end :D | 22:22 |
| Rory | I imagine "karen" is not a he | 22:22 |
| karen_ | o.k. aaaaa I think I can figure that out. | 22:22 |
| veryhappy | Rory: oops, sorry :D | 22:22 |
| evilytwisted | Hi, Is there a "gamepad to keyboard" gui for linux? | 22:22 |
| veryhappy | evilytwisted: you could as well try to find a program for joystick to mouse and then use an on screen keyboard for that purpose. | 22:23 |
| wilee-nilee | evilytwisted: not really. | 22:23 |
| evilytwisted | veryhappy: im trying to play WoW with my gamepad :P | 22:23 |
| veryhappy | evilytwisted: nerd, right? | 22:23 |
| karen_ | So, it's o.k. to find a file I can download on an online site? I don't know what you can download on ubuntu Linux | 22:23 |
| evilytwisted | veryhappy: No.. i just would like to try it | 22:24 |
| veryhappy | karen_: whatever you can download on windows as well. | 22:24 |
| evilytwisted | i found joy2key, But its not gui and highly confusing | 22:24 |
| Rory | karen_: Your issue here is with librevox it's not Ubuntu-specific. You're just trying to find an mp3 or something to download | 22:24 |
| mrkent | what is the redhat open source analogue? | 22:24 |
| evilytwisted | ill go bug debian.. | 22:25 |
| mrkent | SUSE? | 22:25 |
| karen_ | I really don't understan mp3, because I am dumb here, but they have a download you can download. hhahaha so dumb. Is that what I should do and then open it in vlc? | 22:25 |

| evilytwisted | veryhappy: Ha..ha.. | 22:25 |
| veryhappy | karen_: mp3 is an audio file | 22:25 |
| wilee-nilee | karen_: right click the media-properties-play with and choose | 22:26 |
| karen_ | o.k then is that the download button i can push on their site? | 22:26 |
| Rory | !google | veryhappy | 22:27 |
| ubottu | veryhappy: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 22:27 |
| Yowl | Anyone on who can help me with /dev/urandom or a alternative to it for randomizing HDD space? | 22:27 |
| veryhappy | Rory: sorry. got it | 22:27 |
| wilee-nilee | !details | Yowl | 22:27 |
| evilytwisted | Rory: I have googled my question, and ive checked joy 2 key manual.. | 22:27 |
| ubottu | Yowl: 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 ..." | 22:27 |
| veryhappy | Rory: some people even do to me | 22:27 |
| evilytwisted | its confusing.. | 22:28 |
| evilytwisted | veryhappy: just cause someone does it to you.. doesnt mean you do it to others... | 22:28 |
| veryhappy | evilytwisted: you should actually find some config files perhaps | 22:28 |
| wilee-nilee | Yowl: just state the iisues to ths channel for help. | 22:28 |
| veryhappy | evilytwisted: i got it i said | 22:28 |
| Yowl | wilee-nilee: Too many details to briefly explain, so waiting for someone who knows before going into it. Do you? | 22:28 |
| Rory | Yowl: What are you trying to do? | 22:28 |
| evilytwisted | -_- yeah ill go back to linuxmint... seems a lot nicer.. and its my distro | 22:28 |
| Yowl | Rory: Trying to randomize the contents of a blank partition for encrypting | 22:29 |
| Yowl | Well nicer or not, less people | 22:29 |
| wilee-nilee | Yowl: good luck that is not now it works here and weask you state and of just ask for hel; | 22:29 |
| dr_willis | dd from /dev/random perhaps but it seems weird Yowl | 22:29 |
| Rory | Yowl: simply "dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdXN" replacing XN with your actual partition name | 22:30 |
| widad_ | can i ask in here about connecting a nokia to ubuntu please? | 22:30 |
| Rory | !ask | 22:30 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 22:30 |
| Yowl | wilee-nilee: What did you say? | 22:30 |
| dr_willis | seems a waste of time to me. | 22:30 |
| karen_ | So, another question, guys... My grandkids like to download games on their windows computer. Can they do that on Ubuntu, or should they stick with the Software games? | 22:31 |
| Yowl | Rory: Will that command randomize only that partition, and nowhere else? Someone else mentioned the possibility of overrun if I don't specify like the exact size of the partitions and it's location on the HDD or something, not a risk? | 22:31 |
| jubale | Should there be a partition containing only 'lost+found'? | 22:31 |
| Rory | jubale: Yes | 22:31 |
| jubale | Why? It's not even mounted. | 22:31 |
| jubale | It's 5GB ext3, Ubuntu is installed on ext4 | 22:32 |
| veryhappy | karen_: it's more difficult to find such games on ubuntu though many games can be found there as well, but in order to get windows games started on ubuntu it's a little bit harder. | 22:32 |
| dr_willis | karen_: theres games in software center. theres steam for ubuntu. some windows games work with wine or 'play on linux' | 22:32 |
| Rory | Yowl: No, if you specify the partition in the format /dev/sda2 (for example) only that partition will be touched | 22:32 |
| veryhappy | jubale: lost+found is always created. | 22:32 |
| widad_ | HELPPPP can i ask in here about connecting a nokia to ubuntu please? | 22:32 |
| OerHeks | Yowl, it makes no sence, filling an empty partition with random numbers, to use with encryption | 22:32 |
| veryhappy | widad_: !ask | 22:33 |
| karen_ | o.k., so mostly, stick with the Ubuntu Software games. | 22:33 |
| illusion | hello, can any one here help me with openvpn on ubuntu ? i wahnt to connect to my openvpn server trouth icmp | 22:33 |

| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 22:33 |
| widad_ | veryhappy, please i need help about connecting my nokia to my computer. i run under ubuntu-studio and don't know how to connect my phone to it | 22:33 |
| Yowl | OerHeks: It is on advice, the principle being that it's more difficult to determine what is encrypted data, if surrounded by random. Like hiding a tree in a forest. You don't agree with this principle? | 22:34 |
| veryhappy | widad_: ok, first i need to know do you want to copy files from and to your computer with your nokia or do you want to use it as a modem in order to get into the internet? | 22:34 |
| Yowl | Rory: Will it give me a time frame for completion? Or is there a way to check? Can I use the label I gave the partition? | 22:35 |
| wilee-nilee | widad_: you would want to state the exact model and have you checked nokia's web pages or the net. | 22:35 |
| widad_ | veryhappy, i want just to read my text message. my phone doesn't read some languages and i'm trying to read them | 22:35 |
| OerHeks | Yowl, i disagree, because when you set that partition in use, encryption software formats it and there is nothing to see about where is and where is not written data, | 22:36 |
| veryhappy | widad do you know which language it is? | 22:36 |
| karen_ | Another question here: Sooooo, I'm really having trouble putting any Linux distro with live cd or on a usb flash drive onto my windows 7 desktop that connects to the internet with belkin N600 DB v.2 wireless adapter. Just impossible - tried everything, except the windows wrap thing, which I don't know how to do and some people online say that doesn't even work. | 22:36 |
| widad_ | veryhappy, yes arabic | 22:36 |
| Yowl | OerHeks: But Luks doesn't encrypt empty space, right? | 22:36 |
| veryhappy | widad_: does the phone have Android installed? | 22:37 |
| Rory | Yowl: dd has no progress indicator, I've always let it run overnight so I have no idea if it takes 5 minutes or 5 hours. | 22:37 |
| widad_ | wilee-nilee, i searched but found nothing hope to find an answer here | 22:37 |
| karen_ | Is that an absolute no, that kind of adapter? | 22:37 |
| widad_ | veryhappy, no it's old it's a 5235 | 22:37 |
| wilee-nilee | widad_: what ubuntu release 12,04 needs some additional software for mtp | 22:38 |
| Rory | Yowl: That won't increase your security one bit, if you just encrypt a random other partition on the drive. The partition table shows which partition is which | 22:38 |
| widad_ | wilee-nilee, mtp? | 22:38 |
| wilee-nilee | widad_: this an adroid? | 22:38 |
| Yowl | Rory: You seem to misunderstand, I would be encrypting one partition, I would randomize that specific partition before encrypting it. Not another unrelated partition | 22:39 |
| Rory | Yowl: Oh I see what you mean. Yes, by all means, that's good practice | 22:39 |
| widad_ | wilee-nilee, i don't have an android | 22:39 |
| veryhappy | widad_: i don't think so. | 22:39 |
| widad_ | veryhappy, it's not possible? | 22:39 |
| Rory | Yowl: Although any encryption tool worth its salt (heh) would randomise the free space anyway | 22:40 |
| OerHeks | Yowl even if it does not, you are not going to change that free space in random characters, luks will format your random filling | 22:40 |
| wilee-nilee | widad_: nokia is ot running a android platform? | 22:40 |
| veryhappy | widad_: you should try to use the Nokia PC Suite in order to synchronize the text messages to your computer. | 22:40 |
| wilee-nilee | not* | 22:40 |
| sienez | when I run a .sh script I get the following error messages ./data/myrmy: ./data/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6) AND ./data/myrmy: ./data/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.17' not found (required by /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdrm.so.2). do I need to install dev files for that? | 22:40 |
| Yowl | Rory: Well I am told LUKS and TrueCrypt are the best options, and that neither encrypt free space | 22:40 |
| widad_ | veryhappy, does it run under ubuntu? | 22:40 |
| veryhappy | widad_: then you should be able to copy and paste the text into a translator in your computer. | 22:40 |
| Rory | Yowl: Tryecrypt does, it has an option to during the wizard | 22:41 |
| vimpulse | sienez: hi :) what script, and why run it? | 22:41 |
| Yowl | Rory: What would it encrypt anyway :p | 22:41 |
| Yowl | ah | 22:41 |
| jrib | sienez: say what you actually want to accomplish | 22:41 |
| widad_ | veryhappy, does it run under ubuntu? | 22:41 |
| fahadash | wilee-nilee: There is a way to fill bad sectors with fake data so system doesn't use that area right ? | 22:41 |
| Rory | Yowl: It is more to do with not being able to recover files that were on the partition before | 22:41 |
| Rory | Yowl: If there has never been sensitive data on the partition, it doesn't matter at all. You should use a Truecrypt hidden container if you need plausible deniability | 22:42 |
| veryhappy | widad_: perhaps you can try the program "blueman" in ubuntu | 22:42 |
| sienez | i want to run a script I downloaded from here: http://www.not-equal.eu/myrmedrome/main_en.html#Download. but when I run it I get the above error. so I checked synaptic for lib6 and so I was asking | 22:42 |
| sienez | the script is supposed to run an ant simulator | 22:42 |
| compdoc | fahadash, the problem with bad sectors is they dont stop growing. your data is at risk | 22:43 |
| widad_ | veryhappy, blueman? i'll try it | 22:43 |
| wilee-nilee | fahadash: I don't know why even would you? | 22:43 |
| widad_ | veryhappy, thanks a lot | 22:43 |
| widad_ | wilee-nilee, thanks anyway | 22:43 |
| veryhappy | sienez: ant like in the animal or a program for programming? | 22:43 |
| sienez | ant like the animal | 22:43 |
| SecretFire | hey how can I blacklist ipv6 in /etc/modprobe.d? | 22:44 |
| karen_ | does anyone know how to use the ndiswrapper? I don't know how to find the .inf file for my driver. I can find the info when I go into Windows without Linux. | 22:44 |
| Yowl | Rory: Well I was thinking of encrypting a partition, rather then a container. Isn't that better? And the crypto people I get this randomizing advice from do not advice it to prevent recovery of files that were on the partition before | 22:44 |
| sienez | i'm on ubuntu 13.04 on x86_64 | 22:44 |
| veryhappy | karen_: what model do you have there? it's generally always a good idea first to try if there is a native driver for this purpose. | 22:45 |
| Rory | Yowl: Id recommend reading through all the truecrypt documentation (background info, not software manuals) because you need to understand encryption to get the most out of it, and I don't think I can explain well enough | 22:45 |
| karen_ | I have a belkin N600 DB v.2001 wireless adapter. | 22:46 |
| wilee-nilee | SecretFire: you can block it with grub at boot | 22:46 |
| Rory | Yowl: particularly the sections on plausible deniability - it seems you have a need to hide the existance of encryption from an adversary, and it's very important you do it right in that case | 22:46 |
| veryhappy | sienez: do you need to compile it? | 22:46 |
| Yowl | Rory: Well preventing access by noisy individuals borrowing my PC would suffice mostly. You don't think LUKS is more secure then TrueCrypt? Or no idea/opinion? | 22:47 |
| Rory | Yowl: Truecrypt has Windows and Mac clients so it's good for cross-platform | 22:48 |
| Yowl | Rory: Yeah, but if I spend most of my time in linux.. | 22:48 |
| thenetbook | Hewwo | 22:49 |
| Rory | Yowl: Then either is fine | 22:49 |
| sienez | veryhappy, no. it's a simple 2-liner with "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./data/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH; ./data/myrmy" where data contains several .so.0 files, the binary 'myrmy' and some png files | 22:49 |
| veryhappy | karen_: probably there is really no driver for Linux for that. | 22:49 |
| vimpulse | sienez: Did you try "sudo /usr/bin/aptitude install wine" then "wget http://www.not-equal.eu/myrmedrome/ myrmedrome-v2.1-win.exe" then "wine ./myrmedrome-v2.1-win.exe &"? Hacky but maybe it will work. | 22:49 |
| karen_ | ya... so no luck? | 22:49 |
| Yowl | Rory So no idea if one is more secure then the other? I was told since LUKS is open source and TrueCrpyt isn't, that it is probably better to use TrueCrypt | 22:49 |
| vimpulse | sienez: oops that middle command should be "wget http://www.not-equal.eu/myrmedrome/myrmedrome-v2.1-win.exe" without any space inside it. | 22:50 |
| thenetbook | What should I do if an Error pops up when I am trying to play a Steam game saying: "Could not find required OpenGL entry point 'glGetError'! Either your video card is unsupported, or your OpenGL driver needs to be updated. | 22:50 |
| veryhappy | karen_: in this case we can only try to get it running with ndiswrapper i guess. | 22:50 |
| veryhappy | karen_: let me check something out | 22:50 |
| Richhh | i broke my bash emulation by writing export PATH=$HOME/dir | 22:50 |

| Richhh | commands dont work now | 22:50 |
| Richhh | a quick way to reset it? | 22:50 |
| Rory | Richhh: "reset" | 22:51 |
| sienez | vimpulse, as a very last resort I might do that but before that i will try on ubuntu 12. but first i want to troubleshoot this. there has to be a way | 22:51 |
| Richhh | Rory command not found | 22:51 |
| vimpulse | veryhappy: is running the Windows version a bad troubleshooting step? | 22:51 |
| vimpulse | veryhappy: on Wine | 22:51 |
| thenetbook | ? | 22:51 |
| ADP4U | I hate wine in linux | 22:51 |
| ADP4U | Love drinking it | 22:51 |
| Richhh | Rory im using cygwin | 22:51 |
| Rory | Richhh: /usr/bin/reset | 22:51 |

| vimpulse | ADP4U: I used it today to run an obscure tool. It worked flawlessly and perfectly. | 22:52 |
| Rory | !ot | Richhh | 22:52 |
| ubottu | Richhh: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 22:52 |
| wylde | Richhh: log out and back in..... cygwin != ubuntu | 22:52 |
| veryhappy | vimpulse: for which program? | 22:52 |
| thenetbook | ... | 22:52 |
| Richhh | ok | 22:52 |
| vimpulse | veryhappy: this "Myrmedome" ant-colony simulator | 22:52 |
| Richhh | oh yep | 22:52 |
| Richhh | no problem | 22:52 |
| Rory | Yowl: It's more to do with the actual encryption technoloy, like AES or whatever, that the program that implements it | 22:52 |
| ADP4U | Ok cool. | 22:52 |
| veryhappy | vimpulse: at least you can try it, if it doesn't run, then we know it doesn't run. | 22:52 |
| Richhh | thanks wydle | 22:52 |
| thenetbook | hmkfdry kjgdxcyh | 22:53 |
| thenetbook | oops | 22:53 |
| Oddity | Where do I find this ant colony simulator? | 22:53 |
| vimpulse | sienez: very_happy thinks it's a reasonable thing to try. | 22:53 |
| veryhappy | karen_: ok, let's try to install ndiswrapper and get this thing to run. which version of ubuntu do you use? | 22:53 |
| thenetbook | didnt mean to press enter | 22:53 |
| vimpulse | Oddity: http://www.not-equal.eu/myrmedrome/main_en.html | 22:53 |
| Yowl | Rory: Have you ever used Truecrypt or LUKS before? | 22:53 |
| vimpulse | sienez: why don't you want to try it? | 22:54 |
| sienez | is it possible that version 'GLIBC_2.17' is found in libc6-dev-amd64:i386 in the repositories? | 22:55 |
| karen_ | veryhappy, I am very happy with my Ubuntu on my laptop right now which I am typing off of, BUT, if I stick my Slacko Puppy usb flash drive or even any linux live cd in my desktop with the belkin adapter, it won't work, sooooo, if you can just tell me how to do it, I can right it down and try it later. o.k.? | 22:55 |
| Rory | Yowl: Yes I use Truecrypt on my desktop machine which dual-boots Arch and Windows, and I use LUKS (I think) on my Ubuntu work laptop (or whatever technology is used by the LVM encryption provided by the installer) | 22:55 |
| Yowl | Rory: Does Truecrypt have a special boot screen one has to go through, even if only encrypting a nonboot partition? | 22:56 |
| sienez | vimpulse, i would prefer the native program. | 22:56 |
| karen_ | "write" it down, sorry | 22:56 |
| Rory | Yowl: I don't know, and this is starting to get well outside the realm of Ubuntu support | 22:56 |
| karen_ | I do have the cd that the belkin wireless adapter came with. Will that help? | 22:57 |
| veryhappy | karen_: you will have to find the latest windows driver of this belkin adapter and try to load the driver in ndiswrapper in order to get it working. | 22:58 |
| karen_ | I'm saying, "I'll try it later," because I don't have another monitor for the desktop to try it. | 22:58 |
| veryhappy | karen_: if you have the driver it might be useful to | 22:58 |
| veryhappy | karen_: i mean if you have the driver on a cd it's useful. | 22:58 |

| karen_ | Ummm I have the cd that came with the adapter that i had to put in when I got my windows desktop going, if that's what you mean? | 22:59 |

| mPrometheus | security-scanner11.infosec.utexas.edu]quit | 23:00 |
| karen_ | o.k. veryhappy, tell me what to do step by step if you are so patient. ummm I wouldn't know how to download the new driver from online site to ndiswrapper. | 23:01 |
| veryhappy | Yowl: afaik there should be encryption brought with ubuntu already | 23:01 |
| yarudl | I installed Ubuntu with the 'wipe the drive' option, and when I boot the computer it says no bootable partition found. | 23:01 |
| Dr_Willis | yarudl: id try out the boot-repair tool from a live cd. its mentioned on the following urls | 23:01 |
| karen_ | can't do that if I'm not online. I probably can do that on windows. | 23:01 |

| Tigz4god | Anyone here familiar with using playonlinux and league of legends | 23:02 |
| veryhappy | karen_: first you have to download the driver from the internet or copy it from a cd. because this is much easier now, i'm going to try this way. you need to find the driver setup and there should be a driver that you can use for ndiswrapper. then you need to copy the driver to your linux system and move it into any directory that you specify with ndiswrapper -i /path/to/driver then you should just press enter and it should be loading | 23:03 |
| veryhappy | needs to be loaded should be possible with modprobe -i ndiswrapper. | 23:03 |
| plut0 | how do you change mirrors for apt-get using cli? | 23:03 |
| thumpba | what is the best ssh for 12.04 | 23:03 |
| veryhappy | Tigz4god: League of Legends is usable with wine. Install wine for your system and it should already work. | 23:04 |
| veryhappy | thumpba: what do you mean with best ssh for 12.04? | 23:04 |
| veryhappy | thumpba: do you want to use it for a server? | 23:05 |
| Tigz4god | veryhappy: i have it installed using wine. I was just curious if the extreme length of load screen is normal | 23:05 |
| === jalcine_ is now known as jalcine | ||
| veryhappy | Tigz4god: because wine needs a little more time to load it's normal i guess. | 23:05 |
| Tigz4god | veryhappy: thats what I thoguht, I just wnated to knwo if someone could confirm that they have same issue | 23:06 |
| vimpulse | I thought that Wine normally should be just as fast as Windows is. Except if a game falls back to software rendering. | 23:06 |
| veryhappy | Tigz4god: you can change that with a registry that i've made for the windows registry. probably that could work. | 23:07 |
| karen_ | o.k. If there is already a driver for it, because it works for windows, I should download it anyway so I can copy it to Linux? You mean, I'll be able to find the download through ndiswrapper, press where ever I downloaded it and it should enter Linux? | 23:07 |
| Tigz4god | veryhappy: could you elobrate a little for me? What changed should I make? | 23:08 |
| Dr_Willis | vimpulse: ive seen some games run faster in wine, than in windows. :) | 23:08 |
| karen_ | When you open ndiswrapper, it goes straight to your windows files. I don't quite get what your saying there. | 23:09 |
| veryhappy | karen_: you just copy the windows driver for this adapter into any directory and install it in ndiswrapper | 23:09 |
| veryhappy | Tigz4god: write me your email address /msg veryhappy type your email address. | 23:09 |
| karen_ | o.k. into any directory in windows, and then I can find it with the ndiswrapper? | 23:10 |
| karen_ | that sounds easy enough | 23:10 |
| karen_ | Does it matter, VeryHappy, if the downloaded driver is in any file on windows, because they said to find it in the .inf file, but maybe that doesn't matter just so long it see it and can "wrap" it. | 23:14 |
| veryhappy | kicked myself out. | 23:15 |
| veryhappy | i'm back | 23:15 |
| ObrienDave | hate when that happens ;) | 23:15 |
| veryhappy | who had this League of Legends problem now? | 23:16 |
| karen_ | me but I think I pretty much got it, right? | 23:16 |
| veryhappy | i was talking about wine now. | 23:16 |
| karen_ | oh ya that guy | 23:16 |
| veryhappy | is that guy still here? | 23:17 |
| karen_ | Am I right, veryhappy? | 23:17 |
| suyase | Hey, when I type xinput list it doesn't show my touchpad, but my touchpad works - the problem is that the mouse jumps left and double clicks every ~3 seconds | 23:17 |
| ObrienDave | oh oh, you're going to anger the OT gods LOL | 23:17 |
| reisio | suyase: clean it off | 23:17 |
| veryhappy | karen_: i just asked because i kicked myself out. | 23:18 |
| suyase | I can't get this behavior to stop, and none of the threads discussing Elantech touchpads have answers | 23:18 |
| Crazyzurfer | my ubuntu is asking to update, I tell it to do it... after asking my password it says that installation of untrusted packages must be installed, I tell it "accept" but it seems to not work, because some time later it asks to update the same packages | 23:18 |
| suyase | reisio: During boot it displays a message stating that query 0x02 failed to the touchpad | 23:18 |
| suyase | reisio: Also, it isn't dirty | 23:18 |
| wilee-nilee | Crazyzurfer, you are missing keys of added repos. | 23:18 |
| Dr_Willis | !keys | 23:19 |
| ubottu | Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net/ - See !Keyboard for changing layouts. A list of keyboard shortcuts for Unity is available at http://ubottu.com/y/shortcuts | 23:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm.i never can rember that repo key factoid | 23:19 |
| reisio | suyase: only way you could know that is if you cleaned it off | 23:19 |
| karen_ | So, let me get this straight... I'm so sorry... Soooo, I go download an upgraded driver for my belkin wireless adapter, put it like in downloads or something in my windows desktop. Then I get on my linux and go into ndiswrapper, find it, and hopefully it will load. Right? | 23:19 |
| reisio | karen_: which adapter? | 23:20 |
| suyase | reisio: That's correct. I have cleaned it several times. | 23:20 |
| veryhappy | karen_: pretty much | 23:20 |
| veryhappy | reisio: belkin n600 | 23:20 |
| suyase | reisio: Also, there is a specific error message at boot that indicates the problem probably isn't dirt. | 23:20 |
| wilee-nilee | CrazyEddy, run tghe update and upgrade in the terminal what ever key you are missing use this to insert it sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys "put key here" | 23:20 |
| karen_ | k, veryhappy, reisio, it is a belkin n600 db v2 wireless adapter for my desktop that for some reason, no linux distro I try will recognize its driver. | 23:21 |
| Crazyzurfer | wilee-nilee: are you telling me that? or you are telling that to crazyeddy, lol | 23:21 |
| guyguy | yo yo | 23:21 |
| wilee-nilee | Crazyzurfer, you sorry | 23:21 |
| wilee-nilee | Crazyzurfer, having a common nick is the problem with trying to use the tab complete, lol on you. | 23:22 |
| Crazyzurfer | wilee-nilee: and how do I know which one has the missing key | 23:22 |
| karen_ | thanks, veryhappy, for you time and info !!! | 23:22 |
| reisio | yeah looks like ndiswrapper is the way https://www.google.com/search?q=%22belkin%22%20%22n600%22%20%22linux%22 | 23:22 |
| wilee-nilee | Crazyzurfer, read the instuctions. | 23:22 |
| markovh | i've noticed randomly when i try to paste, it doesn't work in a terminal (ctrl shift v). when i click on edit and then click back into the console (other menus don't work like file,view), it starts working again | 23:23 |
| veryhappy | reisio: we already figured that out. thanks | 23:23 |
| Crazyzurfer | wilee-nilee: now i understand | 23:23 |
| markovh | strange right? | 23:23 |
| reisio | veryhappy: hence yeah | 23:23 |
| wilee-nilee | Crazyzurfer, cool they will show in the terminal with a update upgrade. | 23:23 |
| suyase | So, I updated to raring and my external USB atheros(wifi) adapter no longer works - Ubuntu recognizes it, it appears in the list of adapters, then it promptly vanishes - this happens over and over again | 23:24 |
| wilee-nilee | suyase, You install any drivers to get it going originally | 23:25 |
| suyase | wilee-nilee: linux-image-generic includes ath9k for atheros chipset cards I believe | 23:25 |
| karen_ | One more question guys, than I'm scadaddling along. If I download a audio mp3 thing from that LibriVox thing, can I somehow get rid of that download later? Where is it? This isn't windows. | 23:25 |
| suyase | wilee-nilee: also, it recognizes the card - it just immediately drops it and re-recognizes it repeatedly | 23:26 |
| suyase | wilee-nilee: I don't believe I ever installed any special drivers for that card | 23:26 |
| Anom01y | hey everyone | 23:26 |
| wilee-nilee | suyase, Hmm, that does not answer the question, am I to assume that is a no? | 23:26 |
| Anom01y | I have this strange problem with my graphics, everything works, for a while, | 23:26 |
| Anom01y | then about 1 or 2 days, maybe a few more even, the graphics get very choppy | 23:27 |
| wilee-nilee | suyase, generally the exact model help, run lsusb and identify it | 23:27 |
| ccowan_ | I'm having issues with an Nvidia GTX 660 graphics card and the Proprietary drivers. | 23:27 |
| Anom01y | the problem is noticeable in the screensaver, and in clementine visualizations (music playing program) | 23:27 |
| Anom01y | it seems all graphics get choppy | 23:27 |
| ccowan_ | when I boot into the login screen instead it just flashes between colors | 23:27 |
| Anom01y | so my only solution is to reset the computer, | 23:27 |
| suyase | wilee-nilee: it only appears on lsusb very briefly | 23:27 |
| suyase | wilee-nilee: then it vanishes | 23:28 |
| ccowan_ | rainbow bars... black... gray scales... etc | 23:28 |
| suyase | wilee-nilee: this repeats indefinitely | 23:28 |
| Anom01y | I was wondering if there is another way to fix this issue without resetting the computer | 23:28 |
| ccowan_ | any suggestions? | 23:28 |
| moppy | ccowan_: I had that, do you have nomodeset set? | 23:28 |
| wilee-nilee | suyase, Can you test it on another computer to make sure it works or another OS? | 23:28 |
| wilee-nilee | still works that is | 23:28 |
| ccowan_ | I tried that.. same results | 23:28 |
| suyase | wilee-nilee: It works on my other machines just fine | 23:28 |
| ccowan_ | moppy ^^^ | 23:28 |
| moppy | ccowan_: works with nouveau? | 23:28 |
| suyase | wilee-nilee: When I installed raring, I started having many problems | 23:28 |
| ccowan_ | yup... works fine with nouveau | 23:29 |
| suyase | wilee-nilee: The problem with the network adapter, and the problem with the mouse (it jumps left and clicks twice every ~2-3 seconds) | 23:29 |
| Guest95165 | hey, what should I use to burn my ISO file to a disk for installation | 23:29 |
| wilee-nilee | suyase, To really get any help the exact model is quite helpful to you and us, if it works on other setuos get that info. | 23:29 |
| wilee-nilee | setups* | 23:29 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest95165, a burner, what OS? | 23:30 |
| ObrienDave | Guest95165... I use K3B | 23:30 |
| suyase | it's an AWUS036 | 23:30 |
| reisio | Guest95165: don't have a usb stick? | 23:30 |
| ccowan_ | moppy... did you just add that to grub? | 23:30 |
| moppy | Guest95165: ubuntu has brasero as standard: what OS are you on? | 23:30 |
| Guest95165 | @reisio I'm on windows 7 right now | 23:30 |
| reisio | Guest95165: ...but do you have a usb stick | 23:30 |
| moppy | Guest95165: win7 doesnt need a burner program, it is built into windows explorer | 23:31 |
| suyase | wilee-nilee: Also, the reason I'm telling you this is it's not a problem with the device or the driver - I've checked those several times - it appears to be a problem with ubuntu, not my devices | 23:31 |
| moppy | Guest95165: I assume you mean a DVD-R not a USB, right? | 23:32 |
| Guest95165 | yes, but I intended to just use an unused DVD-R that I had lying around | 23:32 |
| suyase | wilee-nilee: As in, ubuntu seems to recognize the devices just fine, then immediately forgets them, then immediately recognizes them again | 23:32 |
| reisio | Guest95165: k, it doesn't really matter as long as you burn the image as an image and not a file, and I'd recommend a slower speed, such as 4x | 23:33 |
| moppy | Guest95165: Well you don't need to download anyhting . Win7 can do it | 23:33 |
| wilee-nilee | suyase, Problem here is almost all wifi and many drivers are reversed engineered to work the problem is with the manufacturers not giving support, using that identification and 13.04 on google I find this, look for yourself. https://www.google.com/search?q=AWUS036+13.04&btnG=Search&client=ubuntu&channel=fs&oe=utf-8 | 23:33 |
| suyase | wilee-nilee: It's not _just_ the wifi card that is experiencing a problem, and the problems are the same | 23:34 |
| Guest95165 | okay, moppy, then how do I do that? (sorry I'm such a N00B) | 23:34 |
| moppy | Guest95165: But when i used windows, i sometimes used Nero. However win7 explorer as a microsoft one built in somewhere, i think you right click the ISO file or someting | 23:34 |
| ObrienDave | Guest95165... right click ISO, send to "burn disc" | 23:35 |
| moppy | Guest95165: if you're stuck just download any of the numerous windows dvd burnign programs. your pc probably came with one anyway? (becuase apparenty ppl dont know windows does it) | 23:35 |
| wilee-nilee | suyase, Myself, the minute it did not work I would get one that plugged and worked always, they are cheap, it's not worth the hassle in my opinion. | 23:35 |
| moppy | Guest95165: you need to burn the ISO, not the files in the ISO, that's the only tricky thing to remember | 23:35 |
| suyase | wilee-nilee: It has always worked. | 23:35 |
| suyase | wilee-nilee: Always. | 23:35 |
| suyase | wilee-nilee: I upgraded to 13.04 and it stopped working | 23:36 |
| suyase | wilee-nilee: It is not the _only_ problem that 13.04 has caused - I see two of the problems as related | 23:36 |

| yellowfish2 | hey guys. So I just installed ubuntu on my new chromebook | 23:37 |
| yellowfish2 | I'm usign the laptop mainly for web dev | 23:37 |
| yellowfish2 | any suggestions on things I should download? | 23:37 |
| yellowfish2 | I'm used to Sublime text | 23:37 |
| suyase | OerHeks: I'm not sure how to explain this precisely. | 23:37 |
| yellowfish2 | for text editing | 23:37 |
| suyase | OerHeks: The wireless card doesn't malnfunction | 23:37 |
| reisio | yellowfish2: you could download that if you wanted | 23:37 |
| suyase | OerHeks: As in, it actually works fine with Ubuntu | 23:37 |
| yellowfish2 | oh nice | 23:37 |
| yellowfish2 | any other good web dev IDEs for ubuntu? | 23:37 |
| suyase | OerHeks: but some of my devices (touchpad, USB wifi card, other stuff) Ubuntu identifies them correctly, and then drops them ~2 seconds later | 23:38 |
| veryhappy | yellowfish2: web dev you say? eclipse or intellij | 23:38 |
| suyase | OerHeks: So in the case of my touch pad, it's causing my mouse to jump 2 inches to the left every 2-3 seconds when it reinitializes | 23:38 |
| reisio | yellowfish2: yeah, but if you learned Vim you'd be so much happier :p | 23:38 |
| suyase | OerHeks: The wifi card cannot be used because it reinitializes every 2-3 seconds | 23:38 |
| suyase | OerHeks: So it's not an issue of using the wifi card | 23:38 |
| suyase | OerHeks: It's just an issue of getting ubuntu to stop dropping the initialized devices constantly | 23:39 |
| yellowfish2 | why do I see a picture of a poor african child when I google search for Vim? | 23:39 |

| yellowfish2 | I don't have a fgunction key | 23:40 |
| reisio | you've probably been searching for something related to poor african children lately, and haven't cleared your cookies, so google is giving you more of what they know you're already interested in | 23:40 |
