Any ideas? [00:25] if my directories were /home/usrname how do i change to /home/myname [00:26] what [00:26] Huleno: what are you asking? [00:26] Wow, I'm *not* tring to flame or anything but I just installed ubuntu 13.10 and....its horrible. Vanilla install and so far I've had nothing but issues. Flash crashes firefox, suspend doesnt work, the system settings manager has crashed multiple times.... [00:26] i want to change the name of the directory like in my example [00:27] @ supergauntlet - tries using mv but it wont let me' === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [00:27] you want to change the name of your home directory? [00:28] @supergauntlet - no, just a subdirectory of home with the user name [00:28] wut? [00:29] so if the file i want to change is in /home [00:29] the name of the file is /home/usrname [00:30] Thats a folder, not a file. [00:30] yeah [00:30] i want to change /usrname to /myname [00:30] Huleno: Then you would have to change your username to myname, too. [00:30] @bekk difference?? [00:30] that would be you main $USER name, make a 2nd account with that name and export it. if you change your current user name, that directory name stays unchanged [00:30] mv /home/usrname /home/myname did not work [00:30] rOOb: when I installed 13.04, sound over HDMI was broken. Only fix for a few weeks after release was install a rc kernel. Seems like it's better to wait a while before installing the latest release. Thanks for the tip, and I was thinking about upgrading. [00:31] Huleno: Thats your homefolder. Unless changing your username, do not try to rename that folder. [00:31] bekks: your home folder can have any name/location you want, default is /home/ [00:32] pfifo: Yeah, but you will have to do more than just "mv ..." [00:32] @pfifo how do i do this? [00:33] Huleno: before I offer you any advice, can I ask why your doing this? [00:33] Greetings! Is this appropricate channel for asking development questions? [00:33] and all the paths that lead to that folder [00:33] Yes becuase I don't want my name listed on a file/folder/directory [00:34] just what name i give it [00:34] mbait: no its not, try #ubuntu-dev or ##programming [00:34] pfifo: thanks! [00:34] Huleno: And why is that of importance? Do other people have access to your computer? [00:35] @bekks mostly because it's annoying [00:36] Huleno: I'm used to it on hundreds of servers running various OS. ;) [00:36] Huleno: then you likely want to change your username altogether, even if you 'mv /home/huleno /home/nothuleno' the files will still show their owner as 'huleno' [00:36] @pfifo unlike windows isn't ubuntu supposed to give me that control [00:36] Huleno: Windows give you the same control mechanism ;) [00:37] @pfifo is there a way to do this all at once in terminal [00:37] hello, i was a linux mint user untail today, mint had a video driver for my nvidia card i could choose, does ubuntu 13.10 have a driver for my card...and where can i find where to pick it, or will i need to manually install the driver? [00:38] @bekks but windows is so corporate. How to ever trust anyone? [00:38] Huleno: I would just, delete my user account, then create a user account with the proper name/home folder... but make sure you dont get stuck in between, might want to do this from recovery mode [00:38] maybe usermod -d function can do that ? never done that > http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/quantal/en/man8/usermod.8.html [00:39] @pfifo assuming del my usr account would also del its contents [00:39] how to export [00:40] Huleno: no it wont delete your home folder, plus, you said it was already mv'ed [00:40] Huleno: OerHeks might have something with usermod -d [00:41] no I said I tried mv buy received an error (did not work) [00:41] @pfifo reading... [00:42] ola [00:42] Huleno: looks like 'sudo usermod -md /home/nothuleno huleno' [00:42] i would change this current account 1000 to 1001, make an new account with desired name and user id 1000, add it to sudoers, move my stuff, delete ssh keys and make new ones and delete 1001 ... or reinstall [00:42] @OerHeks Thanks, looks promising. usermod -d -m maybe? [00:43] @pfifo sounds right [00:44] yep, that looks fine, pfifo, only perform this in single user mode [00:44] OerHeks: I would edit my passwd file, but I know Id get in trouble for telling someone todo that [00:46] @OerHeks single user mode not recovery?? [00:46] Huleno you did not use encrypted disk? that would make things a little bit more complicated [00:46] yes, recovery = single user mode [00:47] hello [00:47] @OerHeks? encrypted disk?? Any documentation?? [00:47] hello [00:47] or encrypted home [00:48] hellllllllllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo [00:48] that would be an option in the installer, since 10.04 AFAIK ? [00:48] Ubuntu 13.10 XD Enough Said lol [00:48] hi [00:48] hi skywalker [00:48] maybe I should just download a brand new version [00:48] hi OerHeks [00:49] where are you from [00:49] I'm behind a few anyway [00:49] Huleno: Which will setup /home/username just as your current version. [00:49] Huleno: Which ubuntu version do you use? [00:49] hello? [00:49] 13.10 is the FASTEST ive ever exp.

[01:00] this is on a dell "netbook" type of laptop [01:00] javanic: what was the name of the file you edited, grub.cfg? [01:00] javanic: then you have to chroot, undo the edit you made and update grub again... it will be much easier for you to reinstall [01:00] i did it in " sudo gedit /etc/default/grub [01:02] javanic: then boot into a liveCD, mount your harddrive, cd to the mount point, and type sudo etc/default/grub, and edit back. [01:02] javanic: when you boot do you get an OS selection screen from grub [01:02] Aprel: that wont work [01:03] so just run in the live cd and do the change there? [01:04] pfifo: ah, wasn't thinking when I typed the path. looks like he ran update-grub. Thought he just edited his grub.cfg file. [01:04] i did edit it [01:04] javanic, no you'll need to do that _and_ update grub, which is more difficult, lemme get a link for you with instuctions... [01:05] Aprel, needs a chroot [01:05] i added the "mem=896mb" saved it and updated the grub [01:05] wilee-nilee: no chroot is needed [01:06] javanic: here's a good tutorial: http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repair-restore-reinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd [01:06] hello [01:06] pfifo, to update grub in the install from a live cd yes. [01:06] i keep getting this error upon boot after installing ubuntu 13.10: http://pastebin.com/BZkkCZAk any ideas ? [01:06] wilee-nilee: in that case yes... however no livecd is needed so no chroot is needed [01:07] pfifo, I answered although not specific enough that scenario. ;) [01:07] pfifo: if he can't boot into his filesystem, how can he update without a livecd...? [01:08] i'm booting now from the live CD.. see what happens. I'll keep ya posted [01:08] thanks for the link [01:08] Aprel, tty [01:08] javanic: I highly recommend pressing 'e' at the grub screen, and doing a one time edit on the command line, removing the mem=896mb that you put in, then pressing ctrl+x to boot, the perform your edit and grub update directly from your system.

If I enable/disable wireless I get it back. http://paste.ubuntu.com/6260992/ [01:45] wilee-nilee: I agree, I just want to save my data and reinstall, how do I access the data from the broken display I see now [01:45] emin_, we boot usb's with the live iso on them all the time. I have the feeling you do not understand my instructions, [01:46] javanic: unfortunatly my run in with this resolved itself on 10.10, havent seen it since. Dont have a fix, you can try lubuntu or xubuntu, you might have better luck running without unity [01:46] javanic: or upgrade [01:46] wilee-nilee: Ohh, I see, command was right I just sent a msg to the wrong person. XD [01:46] this was my fstab http://pastebin.com/8SZ0KwFS, and this happened http://i.imgur.com/3YLq7xG.png :/ [01:46] Wug: hmmm, nothing at all? [01:46] emin_, you don't use a broken prompt use the live environment to access that data [01:46] abaddon: zero output [01:47] pfifo, this was the recommended distro to use.. if i was to upgrade would i not run into more issues? I don't want to run lubuntu to be honest [01:47] upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10 beta worked well for me [01:47] wilee-nilee: I am a linux noob, sorry for being slow [01:47] hold on, let me restart. I've added/removed packages [01:47] javanic: recommended by whom? [01:47] pfifo, the ubuntu site [01:47] wilee-nilee: so I am putting a 13.10 installation iso on a usb, I will restart [01:47] emin_, No biggie, my concern is you understanding first is all. [01:47] OK, Try sudo apt-get update THEN sudo apt-get clean THEN sudo apt-get autoremove THEN sudo dpkg --configure -a THEN sudo apt-get install -f [01:48] wilee-nilee: then how do I access the old data? === Wug is now known as Wug[Hyperspace] [01:48] emin_, Boot the usb go to home and the partition will be in the left column. [01:48] javanic: Im only suggesting using a different DE, not a different distro [01:49] wilee-nilee: [01:49] wilee-nilee: great I will do that [01:49] pfifo, what is the easiest way to update? i have always just installed the latest.. this one i had to download specifically [01:49] wilee-nilee: thank you, I love what you guys are doing to help people like me loving the open source [01:50] emin_, cool, you might want to start doing backups is all, and maybe make a separate home so you can upgrade and save the data. === Wug[Hyperspace] is now known as Wug [01:50] wilee-nilee: how do I do a separate home? [01:50] !seperate home [01:50] javanic: try 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop lubuntu-desktop' it will install both xubuntu and lubuntu, then log out, from the log in screen, you can then select your choice of l/x/u/buntu [01:50] emin_, I don't do that myself, so I would refer to those that do is all. [01:51] wilee-nilee: cool, thanks mate [01:51] pfifo, so i can boot to the distro i have now, or the others?? === nick1 is now known as Guest61120 [01:51] emin_, No problem, someone can help you here with that issue id needed. [01:51] Hi, I can see gnuradio package at http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gnuradio as available for lucid, however synaptic does not find it (universe and multiverse are enabled) [01:51] Wug: Keep in mind that the THEN parts are not in the commands,lol. I'm listing the commands. [01:51] if* [01:52] hi....has somebody test kubuntu 13.10 or upgraded the old one? === roberto is now known as scorpion19 [01:52] abaddon: I unborked packages earlier already, I've gone through most of that and it doesn't appear to be a "broken package" problem [01:53] javanic: no, your not understanding what a distro is... youll be running the distro 'Ubuntu' and youll have the option to use the Desktop Enviroment LXDE, XFCE or Unity. [01:53] it seems more likely to be a "something important is missing" problem === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [01:53] but I'll try that stuff anyway [01:53] scorpion19, State an issue don;t poll the channel. [01:53] Is there a weather app built into Ubuntu 13.10? [01:53] sorry [01:54] Wug: Wellp....I'm sorry but I don't know what is causing it. =/ You could try a diffrent Desktop enviro? [01:54] pfifo, will i be able to boot into what i have now is what i mean. LXDE, XFCE and Unity i don't understand.... [01:54] vastkahuna, The weather app is a bit funky, it probably needs a correct url if it is to work at all. [01:54] It has been problematic [01:55] javanic: yes youll have Unity (what you have now) but youll also, at your discretion, be able to change from unity to lxde or xfce... and back again [01:55] abaddon: it also locks up when I try to login to the new account for the first time. [01:55] Is there a good one you can recommend? [01:55] kde is a more complete DE than unity or gnome? [01:55] pfifo, ok cool... I'll try that! thanks so much for the help :) [01:55] vastkahuna, I use the shell, so I use an extension, nice conkies. [01:55] Wug: Use terminal for now. Just press alt+ctrl+f2 to get out of gui [01:56] it's hard to check the functionality of the desktop from the terminal :S [01:56] vastkahuna, be sure to use nicks here, you can tab complete them. [01:56] Wug: log in and work from there [01:56] vastkahuna: xubuntu is xfce plus a selection of GUI apps intended to be lightweight/fast. The UI is very much pre-unity, which for some (me :-) is a plus. [01:56] the package fixing stuff produces no output except the expected listing of sources from apt-get update [01:56] vastkahuna: You can get xubuntu simply by doing "sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop" [01:56] Wug: XD Yes, true, but it wont crash on you at least [01:56] OK thanks === max is now known as Guest46136 [01:57] i like the kde apps that come with the enviroment [01:57] puff, advising someone to install a whole beta package (dektop) is at best a foolish move for a weather app, ask them what they need. [01:57] vastkahuna: Sorry, got confused there, thought you were asking for desktop manager recommendations. [01:57] Wug: What did you type to reinstall unity? [01:57] I looked in the home folder, which it did create, and it's made a few files, but nothing particularly special. the only non-hidden file is examples.desktop [01:57] I'm getting an error saying "Unable to calculate the changes" when running update-manager to upgrade from Raring to Saucy. Do I need to manually remove and purge PPAs before upgrading? [01:58] I ran something along the lines of apt-get install --reinstall unity-* yesterday [01:58] Wug: sounds like you want to add '-v' to your commands, heck with apt and dpkg you might want something like '-vvvvvvvv' [01:58] sorry meta* [01:58] hahaha ok [01:58] Just looking for a good easy to install and use weather app for Ubuntu 13.10 [01:59] dpkg does not accept a verbose option [01:59] :| [01:59] Wug: sudo apt-get remove --purge unity [02:00] ok all i'm off.. thank you all for your help! [02:00] Wug: then type sudo apt-get autoremove [02:00] Wug: then type sudo apt-get install unity* [02:01] gets rid of libunity-2d-private, unity, unity-2d, unity-2d-common, unity-2d-panel, unity-2d-shell, unity-2d-spread, libunity-misc4, and telepathy-indicator [02:01] hello! what is the practice for setting file owner uids on removable drives shared between systems? [02:01] Wug: Actually, you may want this --> sudo apt-get remove --purge unity* [02:01] Wug: yup, good [02:02] Wug: heh, I guess Ive never tried to get verbose output from dpkg before, you learn something new everyday http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=62633 === ubuntu is now known as Guest64258 [02:02] Wug: then type sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get install unity* [02:02] what the hell apt === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [02:02] Wug: ??? [02:03] Note, selecting 'fp-units-gtk2' for regex 'unity*' [02:03] there are a bunch of other things that don't actually match that thing that isn't really a regex [02:03] unless I'm an idiot. [02:03] * Wug hurrrrrrrrr [02:04] fp-units-gtk2 a dependacy of something that is a regex of unity* [02:04] any ideas? [02:04] Wug, Huh...yopu may be missing libunity-core* [02:04] abaddon: protip apt-get wants a regex [02:04] unity* matches unit, unity, unityyyyyyy, etc [02:05] I did not realize this either so i forgive you :D [02:05] Wug: yeeaahhh....ok...I say f*** unity and go with Gnome3 [02:05] esde: what is your issue [02:06] f*** matches everything that f* would match [02:06] ohh, n/m [02:06] this was my fstab http://pastebin.com/8SZ0KwFS, and this happened http://i.imgur.com/3YLq7xG.png :/ [02:06] poor naive pfifo [02:06] I tried the new 13.10 gnome ubuntu today. Not bad. [02:06] Wug: you know what...I dunt know what regex is.... [02:07] esde: Ok, then remove the entry? [02:07] ah. [02:07] its been a very long day [02:08] esde: I dont know the right options for a cifs share, but I do know you need to adjust your options to allow users to unmount [02:08] i want to make script that will remove the folder after boot? [02:09] esde: try instead of blah usr, root blah blah user 0 0 [02:09] i've got it mounted where i want now, but its telling me root is the owne [02:09] *owner [02:09] esde: XD [02:09] hi when i start vidalia i get the following error: Launching Tor Browser Bundle for Linux in /home//tor/tor-browser_en-US [02:09] Qt: Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed [02:09] anyone know how to fix it? [02:09] It's ok bud, we all have 'em [02:09] fishcooker create a ln upstart job instead [02:09] so uid should be what? [02:09] *an [02:09] where is the upstart ? [02:09] msx: [02:10] wow [02:10] i wouldnt get rid of the username and password, right? otherwise how would it authenticate? [02:10] upstart is the subsystem ubuntu uses to launch daemons/services at boot time [02:10] eSeNek: UID is for automation of mounting by the system just keep it as /dev/sdb2 /media/blah auto user 0 0 [02:11] i want to delete this folder by the end of this month [02:11] is ubuntu ever going to adopt systemd? [02:11] ut's the replacement for old sysvinit [02:11] esde: : UID is for automation of mounting by the system just keep it as /dev/sdb2 /media/blah auto user 0 0 [02:11] zeep I doubt it although that would make real sense [02:12] esde: Remove the part of the entry where it says root [02:12] esde: Also, I'm not sure what you mean by keeping the paasswd? [02:12] esde: wait, according to this fstab, you have 2 different devices being mounted on /media/goflex_home one is a CIFS share wich is likely working as expected, the other is the partition /dev/sdb2 which is not working as expected [02:12] msx, yeah i think so as well [02:12] ok, right now the root of my system drive is showing up in the goflex_home share [02:13] Wug: Then sdb2 isn't your drive for go flex [02:13] esde: what do you want on goflex_home [02:13] pfifo, /media/goflex_home was mounted properly, but was read only. root was owner and i couldnt create directories or modify anything [02:14] once i added the last line, the root of my system drive showed up in goflex_home [02:14] esde: /media/goflex_home is the MOUNTPOINT, the mount is either /dev/sdb2 or the cifs share... [02:14] i want \\192.168.1.123\goflex_home\(all shares preferably, or just GoFlex Home Personal)\ mounted and writable === ben-pol is now known as bentgf [02:15] esde: delete this line from your fstab '/dev/sdb2 /media/goflex_home auto user,root 0 0' [02:15] ok [02:15] esde: then reboot and give us updated details [02:15] k, brb [02:16] Did setting up vhosts in 13.10 change from 13.04? [02:16] apache vhosts that is [02:17] oh heh [02:17] as soon as I asked.. I finally figured it out [02:17] esde: pfifo he said it wasn't read write when he just has the other entry? [02:17] and the answer is yes [02:17] back [02:17] #ubuntu [02:18] abaddon: well, mountint partition overtop of it is not going to help anything [02:18] i happy [02:18] ./media/goflex_home exists but is empty [02:18] esde: pfifo the entry you asked him to rm was what I suggested. Should he have deleted the other entry where it was cifs? [02:19] pfifo: esde Ahhh...my mistake then. XD Sorry eSeNek [02:19] pfifo: esde Ahhh...my mistake then. XD Sorry esde [02:19] abaddon: no, the cifs is the one he wants... [02:19] no problemo, im learning [02:20] pfifo: but cifs wasn't giving him read write? [02:20] it's not, and im not seeing the drive mounted right now [02:20] abaddon: ok well, one issue at a time here, cant skip to step 99 [02:20] hello [02:21] esde: when you booted did it give any error messages? lets just pastebin the output of 'dmesg' ok [02:23] I run Ubuntu 12.04.3 on a Lenovo Ideapad S10 and Im running into some wifi issues [02:23] pfifo: esde If he rm's the cifs and adds the entry you told him to rm it should mount with user having read write permissions [02:23] abaddon: he says he wants the >cifs< mounted... not the /dev/sdb2 [02:23] pfifo: esde XD I was using sdb2 as an example [02:23] I disconnect ocassionally, after boot up from sleep mode, but sometimes cuts out during skype. When I ran 12.04.2 I had no wifi issues till the upgrades. [02:23] i tried to copy what was relevant http://pastebin.com/LC6nNmPp [02:23] esde: I didn't give clear enough instructions,lol [02:24] is there a bug with wifi or is it just me? [02:24] I installed ubuntu over an xubuntu install, used the old home partition (didn't format it) and now at start up it takes 2-5 minutes for my keyboard and mouse to become functional. How can I fix this? [02:25] esde: try changing your goflex line in fstab to this '//192.168.1.123/GoFlex\040Home\040Personal /media/goflex_home cifs username=admin,password=passwd,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8 0 0' [02:26] did you guys updated to 13.10 yet? [02:26] esde: then of course youjll need to reboot to test it [02:26] If someone with an answer to my question can Private message me, that would be nice. [02:26] pfifo, so im changing the uid to reflect the rot user? [02:27] Wug: Any luck? [02:28] esde: no, 1000 should be your user ID unless you have mutiple logins or a shared computer, type 'id' at a command prompty if you are unsure, and adjust 1000 to your uid/gid [02:28] esde: root ALWAYS has a uid of 0 and group id of 0 [02:29] I just noticed that on my laptop screen there's a 3/4" black space on the left and right edges of the screen. [02:29] This is not the case on my external monitor. [02:29] Thank you!!! It works and i've learned something new and useful :) [02:29] Hey guys, ok, I just started using lfm (it's a terminal file manager). My problem is it wont always recognize the file I click on apropriatly. I try opening an mkv file and half the videos in a directory are playable while the other half aren't. [02:29] Any idea how I adjust this? [02:29] heh, 'prompty' i like it, im renaming my python ncurses class to prompty tommorrow... that will be so cute [02:32] Hm, okay, Settings/Display had the laptop at 1680 x 1050 and the external at 1920 x 1080. Set the laptop screen to 1920 x 1080 and that fixed it.

[02:35] Not a lot of good google hits. [02:35] FoxyRK9: i dont know... but I do recommend keeping your system up to date [02:36] Greetings ye Ubuntu gurus, I have a question. I just installed Ubuntu (13.10) on a computer with 2 video cards, one built-in, and one after market installed. Ubuntu sees the secondary video card and allowed me to install the drivers for it using the "Additional Drivers" tool, however it does not actually "use" that video card, the video signal is sent through the on-board card. There doesn't appear to be a xorg.conf file for [02:36] me to edit, so what would be the easiest way to get it to use the secondary card instead of the on-board one? [02:37] Hello [02:37] Gerowen: on nvidia, there was a nvidia-settings program that allowed you to setup and write an xorg.conf not sure if its still supported [02:37] Gerowen, disable the onboard in the bios? [02:37] !tell phpmyadmin [02:38] halogenandtoast: whats the issue? [02:38] !info phpmyadmin [02:38] phpmyadmin (source: phpmyadmin): MySQL web administration tool. In component universe, is extra.

[02:38] halogenandtoast: what did you do to produce that error? [02:39] initctl restart scrapboard [02:39] Gerowen, there may be an option to set "the primary video output" not necesarily to disable the internal. [02:40] halogenandtoast: I think your supposed to use 'service restart scrapboard' not use initctl directly [02:40] * FoxyRK9 sighs [02:40] i can not find a good youtube to mp3 converter [02:40] restart: unrecognized service [02:40] www.vidtomp3.net [02:40] pfifo: ^^ [02:41] XHEART24: that is not supported here and aginst youtube TOS [02:41] ok [02:41] I advise not Downlading youtube videos [02:41] shotty quality at best === root is now known as Guest78214 [02:41] halogenandtoast: sorry got it backwards, 'service scrapboard restart' [02:41] Hi guys, just upgraded to 13.10 and have some video card issues.

[02:43] wyld: pfifo: Thanks for the help, reset the BIOS settings to default and it picked it up, :-) [02:43] Gerowen, good stuff :) [02:44] seems like 13.10 has issues [02:44] halogenandtoast: you patched upstart? [02:44] seems so [02:44] halogenandtoast: you patched dbus? sorry [02:44] is there another Ubuntu IRC channel? [02:44] pfifo: I ran the command under Patching dbus to allow upstart user sessions [02:45] Hi, I have upgraded to 13.10, but now the copy is not working. (it is something like dropbox) Did someone else have the same issue? Do you know what should I do? [02:45] FoxyRK9, /msg alis list *ubuntu* [02:45] halogenandtoast: what version of ubuntu are you on?

[02:47] Crazyzurfer, disable third party ppa's and try again would be my first step [02:47] hellloooou [02:47] oh I think it did [02:47] halogenandtoast: You have no idea what you did, do you? I would start your debugging efforts with a fresh install, and go through the tutorial but this time understand everything your doing before you do it [02:48] I misread what you said. I thought you asked if I patched "take" [02:48] I had no idea what take was. [02:48] im on a text based linux [02:48] in a 486 pc [02:48] cooooool [02:48] inx-live: congrats? [02:49] I'm double checking that the patch took, it did not complain when I initially ran it. [02:49] Crazyzurfer, although if you have some custom software that you installed from source, I imagine that could create some unresolvable dependencies too. [02:49] halogenandtoast: do you have working upstart user sessions? [02:50] wylde: don't understand what do you mean by installed from source, you mean just downloading a .deb? [02:50] and installing it? [02:51] Crazyzurfer, I suppose that could do it. I'm sure it could if it was a .deb for another distro. [02:51] Does anybody have problem with copy in ubuntu 13.10? (copy.com) [02:52] mojtaba: it works here i recall [02:52] dr_willis: How can I uninstall it? and then install it? [02:53] dr_willis: It was working before upgrading; but now it is not working.

I'm guessing you didn't install anything from source, based on your comment earlier. I'd start by disabling any third party ppa's, then run 'sudo apt-get update' and try the upgrade again. [02:55] dr_willis: I do not know why it is not working here after upgrading to 13.10!!!

[03:02] halogenandtoast: things are a bit funky with this dbus patch, im kind of in the dark... If you want, you can ask this question on launchpad and assign me (https://launchpad.net/~pfifo-fast) to it, Ill look into it when im more awake... file the qustion under upstart package [03:02] Seems like I'm not acting as root, so I don't have permission [03:02] lotuspsychje doesnt work.. i set it. its not booting from dvd (this is the 6th dvd i used and wasted) [03:03] lotuspsychje it just brings me to the desktop again. i dont see the black window with theinstallation options === christopher is now known as Guest69101 [03:03] kali_eskrima: dont you have a device boot option like F9, so you can choose cdrom manually? [03:03] kali_eskrima, you mentioned the BIOS has a weird output for the optical drive. is it possible that the drive is failing? [03:03] I'll create a bug if I don't solve it tonight === Guest69101 is now known as topper4125 [03:03] hmm let me try f9 [03:03] i tried almost all buttons [03:04] triman, so if install now with the windows 8 boot cd then afterwards i hv to use ubuntu or windows live usb??? [03:04] kali_eskrima: it depends on your machine f9 was example [03:04] and i dont see the cd romm. only [03:04] asus x75a [03:04] Hello [03:04] halogenandtoast: start with a question, then upgrade to a bug if it really is.

[03:05] kali_eskrima, you mentioned the BIOS has a weird output for the optical drive. is it possible that the drive is failing? [03:05] ssj5goku: id get that boot-repair live cd thats mentioned at the boot-repair web site. befor messing with too much. Its handy to have for a backup disk anyway [03:05] tinman how do u mean failing? [03:05] I went to check for updates and that's what popped up [03:05] FoxyRK9, drivers that are loaded at kernal level (before you log in) [03:05] tinman what is failing exacly? sorry im new and a bit lost here [03:05] kali_eskrima: broken [03:05] Will it fix my wifi issues? [03:06] FoxyRK9: depends on the drivers and if theres been updated. and the exact issue [03:06] I just randomly drop [03:06] Does anybody know how to solve screen resolution problem (it is too small) - nvidia gt 520 [03:06] FoxyRK9: wich wifi security are you using? [03:06] usually 4 times a day I will drop connection [03:06] numberto, use the nvidia control panel or AR&R [03:06] umm... [03:06] we have no security [03:06] FoxyRK9: wep? wpa?

[03:07] tinman_: I am using bumblebee, I got the problem after the upgrade to 13.10 [03:07] I did that earlier, but that was a gateway issue. :/ [03:07] FoxyRK9: normally you want to keep th esystem up to date with all updtes [03:07] numberto, use the nvidia control panel or AR&R [03:07] ok what i see in my uefi bios under boot option/settings is" boot #1 and that is my current 12.04 (but is written in multiple numbers and letters)), and boot #2 is the same. if i take out the dvd with ubuntu 12.10 than i can only see boot #1 otpion; the boot #2 is not shown [03:07] tinman, ok thanks ....but i was going through this website https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub and it says that i have to install and then run boot repair....does this mean that i have to install ubuntu again...and if doing so wont my data get deleted???

[03:50] sometimes when a new version of a distro comes out, i like to wait a bit for upgrading ... to see if others really have issues with it [03:50] ok [03:50] http://pastebin.com/1dDmz1nT [03:50] bbl [03:50] this is my log [03:50] SuperLag: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16940589/how-do-i-connect-ubuntu-desktop-to-a-nas-using-nfs-or-samba [03:51] 09:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01) [03:51] emin_: if you lost your data, you could try getting back with 'testdisk' [03:51] Dr_Willis_: would really like to have all versions of ubuntu available [03:51] !b43 | dreamstudio [03:51] dreamstudio: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [03:52] i'll check this link [03:52] lotuspsychje: hi, I tried to update to 12.10 but the process failed beacuse of something related to my laptop multitouch features [03:52] thanks [03:52] i tried to update from 13.04 to 13.10 and it crashed during the update. now i can only boot into recovery mode. I tried running fsck but even that seems to be freezing up [03:52] lotuspsychje: I think the data are still there I just cannot find them from a live usb [03:52] i guess i need to make a recovery cd and run from there? [03:52] emin_: setup that fails is always danger to loose data, what format is your partition? [03:53] dunno [03:53] lotuspsychje: dont know [03:53] i (just my preference) usually to fresh installs (and backup everything i wouldn't want to lose, anyway) [03:53] emin_: your data was on ubuntu on windows? [03:53] ubuntu [03:53] lotuspsychje: ubuntu 12.04 [03:54] emin_: how about try the setup again, and try to safe /home data by upgrade [03:54] I've disabled gnome from loading.. and quite frankly don't want to use it. If terminal says that I have 25 packages to update, how can I update them all from the command line? [03:54] lotuspsychje: after launching from live usb I choose try ubuntu but I dont see the old data then [03:54] lotuspsychje: how do I do that? [03:54] omg Im hitting 75 mbps [03:55] emin_: try upgrading, it should save your /home data [03:55] problem: updated to 13.10. now unity icons are invisible (i can still click them). I tried dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ && unity --reset-icons. errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6261418/ [03:55] lotuspsychje: desktop [03:55] lotuspsychje: updating to 13.10? [03:55] any pointers where I could find help? [03:55] thanks lotuspsychje, you're a miracle worker [03:55] :) [03:55] SuperLag: see the link i pasted? [03:55] lotuspsychje: which link? [03:56] FoxyRK9: you did that on your own mate, by experimenting === Jan11 is now known as ON1 [03:56] Im embarrased [03:56] jon8, 'sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade' [03:56] I been on ubuntu linux for a year ad I hardly know much [03:56] FoxyRK9: we cant know it all.. its all about learning everyday [03:57] lotuspsychje: another quick problem [03:57] not wifi based [03:57] hmmm speaking of wihch, i am going to take a break from studying ahm [03:57] oops [03:57] lotuspsychje: if I reinstall 13.10 my data will be lost right? [03:57] I use a sansa clip Mp3 player and it cant read .m3u playlists [03:57] ATM * [03:57] i have one of those (Sansa clips) :) i love it [03:57] is there anyway I can make it play those playlist or convert them? [03:58] me too [03:58] emin_: you need to upgrade first to 12.10 [03:58] I got a 32Gb Micro SD card in my slot [03:58] 16GB card here [03:58] (OT OT, i know i know) [03:58] lotuspsychje: that is what I tried to do and this is why it crashed [03:58] :P [03:58] Xmetal [03:58] lotuspsychje: can I go back to 12.04? [03:58] have you gotten playlist to work on it? [03:58] how and what program [03:59] emin_: reversing a crashed upgrade is always tricky.. [03:59] lotuspsychje: do you think data are lost? [03:59] FoxyRK9: I just got a MicroSD to USB adapter. Isn't that cool? [03:59] hmm i have not really messed with playlists to be honest.. I just navigate via the artist/genre/...etc etc [03:59] I didn't know they used the same API. [03:59] not really [03:59] I ran apt-get upgrade -f and am getting dpkg errors that relate to linux-image for about 12 packages. how do I fix it ? this is the full output: http://pastebin.com/1UhDjRy4 [03:59] i am also using Rockbox (not sure if you can install that to the player in Linux [04:00] emin_: well i cant see it from here but if its lost you can get it back with testdisk [04:00] Rockbox = third party firmware [04:00] yes I know [04:00] I had it on my sansa fuze 16gb [04:00] lotuspsychje: how do I do that? [04:00] ah [04:00] where is my "Source function library"? [04:00] emin_: i would try upgrade again...see if it works this time [04:00] lotuspsychje: how do I do that? when I launch I got an error message now [04:01] emin_: you can also try to boo your older ubuntu kernels, by entering grub [04:01] emin_: and backup your data [04:01] lotuspsychje: from where? [04:01] emin_: at boot hold shift to enter grub [04:01] Hey Guys [04:01] i would make a drive "image" (though i haven't played with it alot .. Clonezilla is one example of a prog that will do so) before a major upgrade [04:01] devslash: did you run out of diskspace? [04:01] emin_: then try booting an older ubuntu version [04:01] no [04:01] if it "all goes wrong" ... just restore the image [04:01] please send me the link about my wireless broadcom again [04:02] my notebook rebooted [04:02] devslash: run 'sudo apt-get install -f' === alancarlos is now known as dreamstudio [04:02] !broadcom | alancarlos [04:02] alancarlos: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [04:02] thanks [04:03] dreamstudio: Hey you're back. I looked up your network card, have you tried downloading the windows driver for it, and installing that using ndiswrapper? [04:03] lotuspsychje: everything is working fine now I: rebooted.... found out laptop booted with the audio being set to HDMI so changed that, removed the radeon.audio=1 line in GRUB and did another reboot, playback is fine [04:04] pfifo, http://pastebin.com/PiLrskmv same errors [04:04] !yay | Ari-Yang [04:04] Ari-Yang: Glad you made it! :-) [04:04] yes [04:04] lotuspsychje: laptop crashing while being hooked up HDMI definitely f'ed something up. [04:04] but my system said something about modules os ndiswrapper [04:04] fatal erro with modules [04:04] Ari-Yang: we could have searched long time :p [04:04] something loke that [04:04] devslash: try this 'sudo apt-get autoremove' [04:04] like* [04:04] :b [04:05] dreamstudio: Did you try multiple sources, multiple different copies of the driver, different versions? With Ndiswrapper for me it's always been a game of trial and error. [04:05] no i tried just that i used to install in WIndows 7 [04:06] lotuspsychje: after I shift I see ubuntu, advanced ubuntu and memory test [04:06] pfifo, same errors [04:06] lotuspsychje: I chose advanced and then the first option in revery mode [04:06] Question: are there any programs (with GUIs) that can add dsp effects to audio? [04:06] then grub [04:06] lotuspsychje: then grub, but now it is stuck [04:06] awesome! sitting here trying to install nagios by hand and its right here in the repos! [04:07] sitting here studying Circuitry Anaylsis here [04:07] brb [04:07] geez i hate when i do that [04:08] devslash: run 'sudo apt-get purge linux-image-generic linux-generic' [04:10] dreamstudio: Are you using i386 or amd64? [04:10] pfifo, same [04:10] amd64 [04:10] my last command in terminal [04:10] sudo apt-get --reinstall install bcmwl-kernel-source [04:11] is there a way to "apt-get install java-from-oracle" ? [04:11] because my wireless card is BMC4312 [04:11] devslash: im stumped, I have no Idea why its trying to install 4 diferent kernels... what did you do to get to this? [04:11] logic_prog: http://askubuntu.com/questions/56104/how-can-i-install-sun-oracles-proprietary-java-6-7-jre-or-jdk [04:11] nothing [04:11] and now i am waiting [04:12] dreamstudio: If you've tried googling the shit out of it, blacklisting, using backported drivers, and ndiswrapper, I don't know anything else. [04:12] wdamn that's complicated :-) [04:12] logic_prog: being as it's freedom-denying software, not right now? [04:12] devslash: can you 'sudo apt-get update' successfully? have you updated recently? [04:12] dreamstudio: If it's worked on any other kernel you could always compile it into the current from source. [04:12] But I dunno how to do that. [04:12] pfifo, i havent updated recently because of this error [04:13] i never do that before [04:13] devslash: what version of ubuntu are you running? [04:13] 13.04 [04:13] i never compiled any kernel [04:13] i am affraid that [04:13] devslash: can you pastebin 'sudo apt-get update' [04:13] dreamstudio: Neither have I, if setting synaptic (or ubuntu-software-center) to use backprted drivers doesn't work I'm not sure what else could work. [04:14] dreamstudio: Don't be afraid just make a backup first. [04:14] ok [04:14] i`ll reboot my system [04:15] pfifo, iirc that was the first pastebin i pasted here [04:15] and see if the wireless will works [04:15] else works, i`ll do that [04:15] devslash: the first one was 'apt-get upgrade' [04:15] wait [04:15] please [04:15] i come back quick === xubuntu is now known as Guest22988 [04:22] Hi guys [04:22] doesnt work [04:23] pfifo, still here ? [04:23] yeah [04:24] sleepie^ [04:24] doesn`t work [04:24] i think is something with my kernel [04:24] my kernel is lowlatency [04:25] Where would I go for a chatroom about Raspian? [04:25] !alis | andrew [04:25] andrew: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [04:25] and would have to recompile it [04:25] i`ll install Ubuntu 13.10 [04:25] Thank you. [04:25] i think i`ll have more luck [04:25] I installed Ubuntu over an Xubuntu install, used the old home partition (didn't format it) and now at start up it takes 2-5 minutes for my keyboard and mouse to become functional. How can I fix this? [04:26] Auf Wedersehen === xubuntu_ is now known as vrkalak [04:26] but thanks for all [04:26] bye [04:26] pfifo, did gedit /var/lib/dpkg/status and removed all of the offending packages and now i have 1 error relating to initramfs-tools. here is the output of doing apt-get -f install http://pastebin.com/gju6ynf7 [04:28] Kuroshita: i phink is better you remove the old ~/.dconf ... .gconf .gnome* and take a deep look on .xsession-errors [04:28] I need a bit of help restoring permissions to my "backgrounds" file for Ubuntu 13.10. [04:28] Kuroshita: i think pink enouth [04:28] pink enouth? [04:29] Kuroshita: forget this part internal crazy joke... [04:29] lol [04:30] can anyone help me with this error when i do apt-get install or apt-get upgrade ? http://pastebin.com/gju6ynf7 [04:30] I need a bit of help restoring permissions to my "backgrounds" file for Ubuntu 13.10. [04:31] Hello. [04:31] zz0: init: at-spi2-registryd main process ended, respawning [04:31] init: at-spi2-registryd respawning too fast, stopped [04:31] sound like the problem? [04:31] akesis: what u mean about restoring permissions? what you do first of all? [04:31] #channels [04:32] So I'm having mouse issues after installing TF2. [04:33] For some reason I lost the ability to view the file when trying to move some pictures from one file into it. I'm not quite understanding why this happened. [04:33] akesis: image files just need 644 perms... [04:33] All I know now is that even when I try to change the background...they won't even show up now....just black [04:34] akesis: and folder is better with 755... or 750 if are little paranoic... [04:34] akesis: more paranoics works with 700 [04:34] I'm not sure what it is at now. [04:35] akesis: rtfm --> chmod [04:35] Years back when I used Suse...I dabbled a little in moving files and such...but now...with this "sudo" this and that...I'm lost [04:36] Kuroshita: no i dont think so... that's dont means enouth for me... need more information... [04:37] I had found a command to copy the file as a sudo su...and then after a few seconds...it seemed to have been doing something..but now I can't even go to the file and view its contents [04:37] zz0 ah right, that's all that was in the xsession errors [04:37] Kuroshita: the xserver control of your mouse and keyboard have nothing to do with your old /home [04:38] ahright [04:39] Kuroshita: ran a Xorg -configure and stop all xserver then start the x poiting the xorg.conf you just have maked... [04:39] Kuroshita: you know what i mean? [04:40] zz0: nah not really [04:41] Kuroshita: if i understand what you explain... your home is on a separated partition and you just reinstall a new fresh install over the old / [04:41] Kuroshita: yes? [04:41] yeah [04:42] Hola [04:42] Kuroshita: please pastebin your ls -a ˜/ [04:44] zz0: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6261580/ [04:44] How can..."cp -a /home/akesis/Pictures/ . /usr/share/backgrounds/" possibly change the file permissions? [04:44] This is what I used to try to copy the files [04:44] what was the exact command you used [04:45] why do you really need your pictgures in the system wallpaper directory? [04:45] what is rsync used for ? it is still used ? [04:45] !rsync [04:45] rsync is a fast remote file copy and synchronization program - For more see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync [04:46] if you want directory1 on server1 to be identical on server2 you can rsync the 2 [04:46] That was it. For some reason it would not remember when I would copy the pics over there to use for the background. Every time I closed the window and went back...all the pics were gone again. [04:47] Dr_Willis, in short rsync is mostly used for mirroring contents ? [04:47] Hello #ubuntu, I'm having some troubles installing ubuntu server to a fresh machine. When it gets all done installing and reboots, I just get a black screen. I've read lots and lots of pages online about chaining settings and modes and drivers, none of which I can do b/c I can't log in or do anything [04:47] it appears to simply be a resolution setting, since the monitor displays the message "cannot display this video mode" [04:47] any ideas? [04:48] this was a server install, so there should be no GUI [04:48] xtriz: thats what its designed for yes. [04:48] Dr_Willis, ok [04:48] Kuroshita: i think you dont need keep the old profile anymore... rm -rf .config .dmrc .dbus .ICEAuthority .pulse* .themes .Xdefaults .Xauthority [04:48] Spanktar: you can tell grub the 'nofb' option and it will not use the framebuffer console. that can cause issues. or try the 'nofb text' option to the boot loader [04:49] Dr_Willis: thanks for that advice, but I don't know where I would tell grub anything [04:49] Spanktar: turn off most everything -> 'nofb text nomodeset' [04:49] Kuroshita: try this first ... after then... we talk about xorg.conf [04:49] Spanktar: right when grub boots.. you hit 'e' [04:49] !nomodeset [04:49] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [04:49] where? I get no opportunity to enter anything [04:49] if grub is hidden hold SHIFT to show it [04:49] tried that, no grub [04:49] woo hoo [04:50] will try again just to be sure [04:50] then you are doing it wrong. :) [04:50] HOLD shift. dont tap it. ;) [04:50] :) (this time my calculations were CORRECT) [04:50] Spanktar: or ssh in and tell grub to not be hidden if ssh is enabled [04:50] oh, I held it, all the way from power up [04:50] and you can alter the other grub configs as well with the other options [04:50] grub itself has some sort of text/graphical option as well [04:50] hmm speaking of grub ... i am getting hungry [04:51] will try that, but coulddn't find the IP [04:51] most all the settings are in /etc/default/grub [04:51] Spanktar: scan your network? ;) [04:51] nope, just held shift again, all the way, no grub :( [04:51] zz0 will restart and see if the removal of those files did anything [04:51] i use to edit grub legacy by hand ... i find editing grub2 easier with "grub customizer" [04:51] (less headaches for me :P ) [04:51] i pinged everything from *.1 to *.20 [04:51] but I'll try again... [04:52] Spanktar: use nmap -sP whatever.* ;) [04:52] i rarely need to do more then just unhide grub, and set it to use text mode [04:53] text mode? is that from Dallas? [04:54] !text [04:54] To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [04:54] tries this Esc bit... [04:55] esc would be for grub1, not grub2. i belive [04:55] nope, no dice [04:55] ok, I'm starting over. [04:55] I'm using a USB stick with alternate amd64 server [04:55] I have had weird pc;s that woiuld not use the usb keyboard with fruyb [04:55] grub. [04:55] i had to use a ps2 keyboard [04:55] using ubuntu-12.04.3-alternate-amd64.iso [04:55] i have a ps2 keyboard! ;) [04:56] I'm going to set it to use nomodeset and apci=off too [04:56] this is absurd. I'm not new to ubuntu, nor to server installs, but this one's really got me stumped [04:57] framebuffer console can cause issues. and the default grub2 uses a nicer looking graphical mode [04:57] # Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only) [04:57] #GRUB_TERMINAL=console [04:57] Spanktar: what's rooling? [04:58] uncomment that in /etc/default/grub and rerun update-grub if you can [04:58] Hey I am looking for maybe KVM web interface? [04:58] I need help I disabled encrypted swap and now I can't boot Ubuntu. I booted up from a live cd how can I fix this [04:58] #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 [04:58] can set the default grub mode to use also. [04:58] I can't run anything, or log into anything. I'm starting the install over again. Is there anything I can do during install to stop any graphical install? [04:58] devslash: disable swap in /etc/fstab perhaps? [04:59] I did [04:59] there is no graphical install for the console. its just some framebuffer stuff i imagine [04:59] Spanktar: you could use a live cd and try to fix grub also. [04:59] if I had a CD drive, I would [04:59] all I've got is USB [04:59] Spanktar: install from text mode... [05:00] ok, so I have a screen with the following options: [05:00] the console on the server install cd can also fix things [05:00] Spanktar: start grub with 1 on end of kernel call [05:00] default, install, commandline install, etc... [05:00] Spanktar: fdisk your part and copy by hand the files... [05:00] i have no idea what the options are an the 'alternative server' install. [05:01] if you can get to a shell on it. you can try to repair grub/change its options [05:01] a desktop install can work as a server for most people also. ;) [05:01] i can get a shell... [05:02] Spanktar: this is the build from scratch install mode... [05:02] Dr Willis I'm already on the live cd and mounted my partition [05:02] you can alter your /boot/grub/grub.cfg (but thats not reccomended) but you can alter it and set the options - they will last untill you rerun update-grub. best way is to edit the systems /etc/default/grub and rerun the proper update-grub command [05:02] tries "command-line install" [05:03] Dr_Willis: Do you know if its possible to remove it 'grid' on the xfce desktop so I can put icons exactly where I want them? [05:03] the grub2 docs/wiki should have guides and directions [05:03] topper4125: never noticed. or tried. I rarely have any icons on my desktop these days [05:03] Dr Willis are you talking to me or him [05:04] me too for the most part, just wish I could put the trash can a little closer to the bottom right of the screen :( [05:04] depenedsd on what you are talking about [05:04] topper4125: :) icons on the desktop are so... 1990's [05:04] * Dr_Willis shudders when he sees people with their windows desktops and 100 icons 'organized' into areas [05:04] lol... true [05:05] * topper4125 reminds myself to *not* tell Dr_Willis I used the redmond theme for about a year [05:05] * Dr_Willis wants a C64 Geos theme [05:06] so, Dr_Willis, you're suggesting I use the LiveCD for a server install? I can do that if it helps b/c I'm up against a wall here [05:06] Dr Willis if my home directory is encrypted and I can't boot the fs but I can mount it from the live cd is there a way to access it [05:06] Spanktar: you just need z way to get to a shell you can chroot/fix the install. [05:07] devslash: if you can mount it. then you should be able to access it with sudo rights [05:07] I cant [05:07] It's not listed there [05:07] cant what? whats not listed where? [05:07] ok, I'll try to get a shell with the fs mounted [05:07] Hang on [05:08] At this point all I care about is recovering my stuff [05:09] im reminded of why i never use encrypted stuff ;) [05:09] i dont even know how you mount encryptd homes. [05:10] ok, I mounted sda1 as /hdd and there's a grub directory there [05:11] /hdd/grub [05:11] Dr Willis I'm turned off of using Ubuntu on this computer altogether [05:12] y/clear [05:14] clatu-baratta nikto [05:16] Is there A default password for the user account used on the live cd [05:16] Spanktar: have you used a passphrase during the encript? [05:16] no [05:17] devslash you can change the password using sudo passwd [05:17] the default user is ubuntu wuth no password [05:17] My home directory is encrypted and I can't boot Ubuntu is there a way to access its [05:17] 'sudo passwd ubuntu' can changte it i belive [05:18] devslash: you would have to boot some sort of ubuntu, or linux and decrypt/mount it [05:18] ok, downloading the LiveCD image :\ [05:18] U have booted the cd [05:18] Now what do I do [05:18] * Spanktar can't find anything I need in these mounts [05:18] It's encrypted with ecryptfs [05:19] Curious...I tried the command in reverse...and it killed my permissions to my "Pictures" file. I need a command to give the permissions back. [05:19] Spanktar: have you try this --> http://www.howtogeek.com/116297/ ?

[06:06] davido_, what is a gem ? [06:06] how do i get a ubuntu pc to register into a domain? [06:06] A ruby library [06:07] davido_, ok , and if i wan to remove it how can i do ? [06:07] I don't know how to remove gems. That's a question for Ruby folks. [06:08] If you're installing something via apt-get, that could be an Ubuntu question. If you're installing it via gem, it's a Ruby question. [06:08] davido_, ok === michael is now known as Guest69482 [06:12] I just clean installed 13.10 after longtime using 13.04. honestly I am still unsure if I like 13.10 so far. seems a little sluggish from 13.04 and my laptops side scroller is not working. and lastly the start menu is transparent black instaid of the unity bars color. so please can anyone help me with these. also does tlp work a okay for 13.10 or have they made it for that yet === RidahGee is now known as ridahgee [06:14] so with 13.04 x2go would work by running /usr/bin/startlubuntu ... this is now missing from 13.10...anyone get x2go working with 13.10? === Revi_Bed is now known as Revi [06:17] i have a 32bit machine with 4 gigs of ram [06:17] when downloading from ubuntu.com they dont present an option for that [06:17] 64 or 32 (but it has to have less than 2 gigs of ram) [06:20] hi can someone help me here? us this help ubuntu chanel? [06:20] no [06:21] where do I go than? [06:21] kalI_eskrIma: this is the ubuntu support channel [06:21] presonic: don't do that [06:21] k [06:22] yeah dont do that. If you are too badass than you should go improve more your skills :) [06:22] heh [06:23] curious as my problem though [06:23] as to* [06:23] doesn't seem to be an option for 4 gig 32 bit machines [06:23] and he also doesn't say '2 gigs or less' [06:23] it says 'less than 2' [06:23] theres nothing stopping you from using 32 bit on 4GB [06:23] k [06:23] just double checking [06:23] but why not 64? [06:23] presonic, 32 and 64 bit on that site and other places, look closer. multiarch allows 32 bit to use 4 gigs ram. [06:24] cause its a 32 bit machine [06:24] people still have 32 bit cpus? [06:24] heh, its old. its my replacement while the laptop is in the shop [06:24] er pae I guess it is [06:25] 32bit ubuntu uses a pae kernel and is able to use 4 pr more gigs of ram [06:25] presonic: ^^ [06:26] after much banging and smashing my 2 original problems have gone away.

I'm running os 12.04 [06:28] Also, the volume control has disappeared from the unity bar. I can still get to it via system settings, but I don't so much like it not being there anymore. How would I go about getting it back? [06:28] kalI_eskrIma: check md5 of image, make sure usb is written properly [06:29] where I do that ..

[06:40] what package provides the sound indicator dohickey [06:40] Wug, It's compiz, it has improved but seems a bit funky at times is all.

I found a bug during ubuntu 13.10 installation. Where I should file the bug? [07:10] on launchpad [07:10] Ben64 i checkd in the terminal for the link you gave me, is saying that the command was not found. i can see the 5sum here in the 12.10 directory [07:10] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy [07:10] ok [07:12] kali_eskrima: what? [07:12] i will paste here http://paste.ubuntu.com/6262021/ [07:12] Wug, Well, that wastes others time is plain stupid. [07:12] and is [07:13] kali_eskrima: well you didn't read the link properly then [07:13] ? why i can do manual or semi automatic.. [07:13] none of them works [07:14] why i was kicked out? [07:14] looks like a whole bunch of indicators don't seem to be working [07:14] im trying to set 'Shotwell Viewer' as my default to open images, but the option to set it as default is missing. im only allowed to 'open with' shotwell viewer. [07:14] kali_eskrima: you weren't. [07:15] so anyone does know how can i upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10. the bootable dvd is not recognized in the uefi bios, and the usb stick is not booting.. ?!!! [07:15] oh i thought i was sorry KnownSyntax [07:15] if you have 12.04, just keep it until 14.04 [07:16] so anyone here with some technical knowledge can help me? [07:16] you can upgrade directly from 12.04 to 14.04, skipping all the ones in between [07:16] Ben64 no ben its not working correctly. i need to do some work and its been piling up, i need a better working version. on my other laptop i have 12.10 works like charm, never a problem, never!!!!! [07:17] dannymichel, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/raring/man8/update-alternatives.8.html maybe of interest. [07:17] well fix the problems instead of probably making it worse by upgrading [07:17] kali_eskrima: what exactly do you mean by "not working" [07:17] If I found a bug during Ubuntu 13.10 installation, against that package I should file the bug?

[07:19] sorry [07:19] Wug ok my main problem for not keeeping the 12.04 is that my wireless get magically on and off when it wants. mostly is one day works, and than if i shut down my laptop and come back in five 5 to start it up, its not working. i have been going over this issue with some guys/girls here and its not working. some stupid bug or something mising in the brain of it,. it usually says, the wireless has been disabled by hardware swit [07:19] I read the help page [07:19] I need to know which package is it [07:20] Wug it wont show. is not finiding my wifi home base. and sometimes it connects no problems. that is my main reason. the WIFI. i need to work online and i cant always connect to wire.. [07:22] kali_eskrima, are you on the OS right now? [07:23] Wug and you shall know this too: ironically i bought the original 12.10 ubuntu dvd and i tried to run it in the laptop. didnt recognize and didnt work. and than this laptop when i bought it came with windows 8 / uefi bios, which took me another 2 weeks just to figure out how to reinstall only ubuntu. and i downloaded from the website 12.04. i should have done the 12.10 :( [07:23] wilee-nilee yes [07:24] kali_eskrima, what does this command show. lsb_release -a [07:25] wilee-nilee http://paste.ubuntu.com/6262057/ [07:26] kali_eskrima, Have you identified the wifi hardware to the channel? [07:26] Hi , I installed Mir in ubuntu 13.10 [07:26] I followed http://fosshelp.blogspot.in/2013/10/how-to-install-mir-ubuntu-1310-saucy.html [07:26] wilee-nilee did you also saw what i wrote here a moment ago. i kind of explained what happend. if you want me i will copy+paste it 4 u [07:26] How could i confirm that, Mir is running [07:27] wilee-nilee what channel? sorry i dont know. because one day it works, the next it doesnt exist. and so on, and on, and on [07:28] Have any option/command to check whether Mir is running or Not ? [07:29] kali_eskrima, I don't see the actual wifi hardware you have, run lspci and identify it if internal and lsusb if on a usb. [07:29] my wifi its internal. it came with laptop [07:30] kali_eskrima: I used to have issues with my wireless [07:31] kali_eskrima, Then identify it. [07:31] I think that's because my laptop is nearing end of life though, rather than because of software [07:31] and tell us what it is kali_eskrima [07:31] wilee-nilee http://paste.ubuntu.com/6262086/ my wifi its internal. because it came with the laptop. even the button doesnt work. fn+F2 [07:31] kali_eskrima: see what wilee-nilee said above about lspci [07:31] my nickname [07:32] or you want to know the orgins [07:32] he wants to know what make and model your wireless chip is [07:32] deego wilee-nilee http://paste.ubuntu.com/6262086/ [07:32] Wug i think its all copied there right? [07:33] yeah, the wireless card info is there [07:33] line 14 [07:33] wilee-nilee deego i think i found it 02:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT3290 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe [07:34] kali_eskrima, Ralink corp. RT3290 these are problematic in linux take a look, it's not the OS it's a manufacturer that has no good drivers for linux. get a plug and works usb or replace it. http://askubuntu.com/search?q=RT3290 an stop complaining about it. [07:35] wilee-nilee complaining what? if you dont know you come here and ask. is not complaining. thanks anyway,. will ask someone else for more info. no need to help [07:38] kali_eskrima: fyi, after many frustrations with proprietary drivers randomly stopped working, I decided to buy my proprietary-free wifi hardware from thinkpenguin.com [07:39] deego sorry my ignorance, what in this context would be "proprietary" [07:40] deego and you just used it as an external wifi drive? [07:40] kali_eskrima: many most built-in wifi's and usb wifis that need stuff like ndiswrapper to work. [07:40] deego and you just used it as an external wifi drive? <<=== yeah [07:41] deego so that means i can run the command in terminal for downloading the "ndiswrapper" ? [07:43] Hi, cannot install Google Earth... require ia32-libs, a Saucy ia32-libs packge not exist. [07:43] kali_eskrima: yes, and other solutions depending on your chip [07:43] How can I determine if jdk is installed ? [07:44] java -version ? ) [07:44] deego where can i get the command words for that? how would i type the command for downloading the ndiswrapper? [07:44] sicness: maybe it i just about JRE [07:44] deego and when i try to type sudo apt-get update i get always at the end this error.. .will paste now. [07:45] you can found all installed distributions in /usr/lib/jvm/ [07:46] deego http://paste.ubuntu.com/6262144/ [07:47] kali_eskrima: Ah, it's just a warning. Ignore it for now :) [07:47] deego thanks. becuase i have been trying to install 13.10, and 12.10 unsucessufuly both.. [07:48] deego so the best solution would be to buy a new wifi hardware-external. so can you help me find out the ndiswrapper command and the rest of solutions for my chip [07:49] sorry if its too much to ask. i really dont know much. non so un acca (H) :) [07:49] sicness: this is the result: http://codepaste.net/mwqnbt [07:49] kali_eskrima: Not at all. That's only if you want to spend money. I just needed 100% guarantee. Just google for your chip and you might get it to work. [07:50] motaka2, I don't know java well, but, for instance, if you looking for javac, you can see ls -l /usr/bin/javac [07:51] link will link to one of there distributions at the end [07:51] sicness: anyway I am trying to install netbeans7.4 but it says it cant find JDK [07:51] maybe your JAVA_HOME is not set? [07:52] env var [07:52] Hi, i need help in installing ubuntu [07:52] im moving from Win7 to Ubuntu [07:53] so i have 4 partitions previously. I am thinking of reducing the system partition and adding some space to swap [07:54] will my other two partitions be affected, since it has my data [07:54] what do mean by affected [07:54] j #android [07:54] how much ram do you have, and how much swap are you planning on getting [07:54] i have 2 GB ram === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away [07:55] i have 100 MB partition previouslyused by Windows i think [07:55] deego where i find the chip info? [07:55] sicness: How can I set that ? [07:55] ubuntu uses swap space to hibernate, so if you want to do that you should probably have 4GB of ram [07:55] 4GB of swap* [07:55] otherwise, 2GB will be plenty [07:55] i dont hibernate, so it aint required right? [07:55] kali_eskrima: lspci [07:55] -v [07:55] as per the usual for partition resizes, if it all goes ok then the files will be preserved [07:55] RishabhTatiraju: you should have swap if you only have 2GB of ram [07:55] but if it doesn't all go ok you can lose tons of data [07:56] so it's best to back up everything important to another disk [07:56] hi, in my usb flash drive, i saw that a particular folder existed, but files in it are not visible. ls showed the directory size '0'. so i ran fsck and now the folder disappeared, but the space is still occupied. how can i recover the files? [07:56] okay [07:56] thank you [07:56] , imho the bestway is add to /etc/environment export JAVA_HOME= [07:56] RishabhTatiraju, there's always some risk playing with partitions. Good habit to keep regular backups "just in case".

[07:57] there java_home is one dir of /usr/lib/jvm where java "bin" is located [07:57] RishabhTatiraju: it will by default try to install it in the most sensible place, and it's best to let it stay there [07:57] in dev/sda?

[08:08] paule: what package did you install to do that [08:09] I don't know, its the newer driver for the nvidia device [08:09] paule, or did you use the "Additional Drivers" tool?

[08:09] paule: did you get it from nvidia.com or from an ubuntu package === Minty is now known as Kalopa [08:10] paule, you can re-run the tool from the commandline using jockey-text then and select the driver that worked. [08:10] in "additional drivers" there was a newer driver, and this was the one I've installed [08:10] paule: why did you change the driver [08:10] Im currently on windows atm and when i try to install ubuntu on dual boot it doesn't detect the windows 7 os [08:10] paule, probably need to prepend that with sudo [08:10] because sometimes I have graphic problems [08:10] Can anyone help me with this issue? [08:11] how can I change back the driver, sorry I am not a command line genius [08:11] I'm assuming no. [08:12] jockey-text? [08:13] paule, yes. It's the same tool, it just uses ncurses rather than a fancy gui. 'sudo jockey-text' [08:14] Hello, on Ubuntu 13.10 I have a folder with my programming projects in it.

[08:20] what do you mean, not finding it [08:21] For the installation ikonia [08:21] what do you mean doesn't find it [08:21] "This computer currently has no detected operating systems. What would you like to do?" [08:21] Koloa: where do you see that [08:22] The installation for ubuntu 13.10 [08:22] for the installation type [08:22] what options are there ? [08:22] erase disk and install ubuntu, encrypt the new ubuntu for security, use lvm with the new ubuntu installation or something else [08:23] which is making partitions\ [08:23] Koloa: tell me about your harddisk setup, is it just a single disk SSD for windows ? [08:23] Single SSD for windows [08:23] Koloa: is it sat on the disk controller on the motherboard ? [08:24] I believe so. [08:24] Koloa: is it windows 8 ? [08:24] I said it was windows 7 [08:24] I missed that, sorry [08:25] Koloa: are you able to open a terminal from the gui before starting the install (you may have to boot into the "try ubuntu" option from the install media) [08:25] I'm already on the try ubuntu [08:25] ok, can you please open a terminal [08:25] done [08:25] please type "sudo fdisk -l" and paste the output into a pastebin [08:26] http://pastebin.com/zVgLxPt8 === michael is now known as Guest68164 [08:26] the SSD is 120gb btw [08:26] but its not listing it [08:26] It's only listing my HDD drive [08:27] Koloa: it's listed there [08:27] /dev/sdb1 [08:27] that is the windows partition, it's there [08:27] i ran into a weird glitch with my ubuntu 13.10. I just upgraded from 13.04. my start search color is black rather then my unity's color. it sticks out like a sore thumb. goes back to normal when I mess with the unities color scheme and back again. would like a perminant fix please help [08:27] ah... [08:27] Well it's not detecting it in GParted or the installation then [08:27] Koloa: it is in gparted [08:27] you need to use the drop down in the top right of gparted to display other disks [08:28] ah there it is [08:28] So why is the installation not finding it then? [08:28] I have like 500gb free for ubuntu [08:28] Koloa: is there any encyption on these disks ? [08:29] I do not believe there is [08:29] Also theres no boot flag on the SSD drive [08:29] Koloa: I suspect if you chose "advanced" as the installation option you'll see your SSD disk when you go through to the partitioning stage [08:30] Koloa: just be very careful what you are changing when partitioning [08:30] There are 20 files inside a Directory and each file may vary in size and how can i see the total size of that Directory which contain those files in command line . [08:30] I once got Ubuntu onto a 8gb USB drive once :P [08:30] Koloa: what has that got to do with anything ? [08:30] it's hardly impresssive or anything to do with wha tyou are discussing [08:30] well i had to use the partiton thing to get that [08:30] babinlonston: du -h [08:31] Ok, so what partitions would i need [08:31] to make windows to recgonise the swap? [08:31] Koloa: what do you mean, what partitions would you need ? [08:31] Koloa: windows won't use the same swap partition as ubuntu [08:31] So what do i do then in the partiton then? [08:32] Koloa: make the partitions you want your ubuntu install to use to install ubuntu onto [08:32] ikonia: works man :) [08:36] argh im confused [08:36] I need a swap, boot and home partition right? [08:37] Koloa: you can have as many/few as you want [08:38] yes but the problem is what sizes do i make each of the partition [08:38] I know im gonna make my swap 8gb [08:39] but not sure about the root or home [08:39] 8GB ?? [08:39] why do you need 8GB of swap [08:39] if you are swapping out 8GB of ram beyond hibernation, your machine is in trouble [08:40] Koloa: no more then 4GB for swap, 10-15 for root rest for home [08:41] 13.10 unity dash color is black and doesn't match unity bar's color. its fixxed when I manually change the color in unity tweak but comes back when I restart the computer. Want a permanent fix please help [08:42] ty [08:42] Cos i read you should make it the same size as your ram [08:42] And i have 8gb ram [08:42] Guest68164: Is unity-tweak in the repos, or third-party tool? [08:42] Guest68164, how are you setting the color? [08:42] Koloa: do you plan to use hibernation/suspend ? [08:43] Svetlana, unity-tweak from the ubuntu software center [08:43] Koloa: with your ram you will probably not need swap but if it is laptop maybe because of hibernation and similar stuff [08:43] high_fiver, normally the unity bar auto changes with the theme. I would change the color manually for my themes but its always solid when I do that and not transparent [08:43] Guest68164: Ok. See what high_fiver asked then please... [08:44] high_fiver, when I mean auto change for the theme I mean the color normally changes with whatever picture I setup as wallpaper [08:45] Guest68164, I read this was fixed for 13.10, i'll try find the bug [08:45] Hey, I read I'm meant to come to here to report a bug? [08:45] oh,dw [08:46] Hello, i need some help. Ubuntu isn't detecting my zte open when i connect it via usb for some reason. [08:46] high_fiver, thank you. just upgraded from 13.04. would appreciate a permanent fix for this. [08:46] Guest68164, from what i remember it was a unity-tweak bug [08:47] it detcted it once, but no more. I have tried rebootinmg and everything! [08:47] Guest68164, If you've not heavily customised using unity-tweak i'd suggest uninstalling and checking you have saurcy repo and re-install [08:47] high_fiver, the bug existed before I installed unity tweak :(. if anything unity tweak temporarly fixed it. it happened in live mode too [08:47] and yes, usb transfer is enabled on the phone [08:48] high_fiver, definately a 13.10 bug in itself [08:49] who was it that mentioned about the err swaps [08:49] Cos i dced if he messaged me back [08:49] err swaps ??? [08:49] Koloa: please try to be clear about what you are asking [08:49] ikonia: swap partition which i was talking to someone who had a z in his name [08:50] Koloa: just ask your question [08:50] He was saying that swap partition should be most likely on laptops but i asked wouldn't i need it for windows dual boots? [08:51] Koloa: did you not read the message I said earlier that windows WILL NOT use your ubuntu swap partition [08:51] can't anyone help? [08:51] Koloa: also are you planning to use hibernate/suspect on your desktop ? [08:51] No. [08:51] Discordian93: with? [08:51] Koloa: no to what question [08:52] my phone is not bing detected by ubuntu [08:52] To what you asked me ikonia [08:52] it doesn't appear in nautilus' list of devices [08:52] Koloa: I asked you two questions [08:53] And if it doesn't use my swap partition then how do i get it to dual boot? [08:53] Koloa: answer my question first [08:53] Koloa: swap partition has nothing to do with dual booting, there is no requirement for it for dual booting [08:54] Koloa: I don't think i saw when you said that windows will not use my swap. And ubuntu does it automatically? [08:54] Koloa: ubuntu does what automatically ? [08:54] Koloa: are you planning to use suspend/hibernation ? [08:54] ... Dual booting and i already answered that question ikonia [08:55] Koloa: I've not seen you answer that question, could you please be clear in your resposnes [08:55] "[08:54] Koloa: I don't think i saw when you said that windows will not use my swap. And ubuntu does it automatically?" [08:55] Koloa: that's not answering my question about if you plan to use suspend/hibernation [08:55] it apparently shows up in lsusb [08:55] You oblivously skipped over [08:55] but it won't appear in nautilus [08:55] Koloa: no, you are not answering the questions I'm asking [08:56] no i dont have a lptop [08:56] Koloa: you can use suspect/hibernation on desktop [08:56] nop, not in lsusb [08:56] drat [08:56] Koloa: however if you don't plan to use it, you don't need 8GB of swap [08:56] ikonia: Mine doesn't have those options [08:56] what the heck is going on? [08:57] Discordian93: No idea but ikonia is starting to be a bit annoying to me. [08:57] Koloa: no problem then - I won't help you any more if it's annoying you.

[09:02] Discordian93, Which ubuntu release? [09:02] 13.04 [09:02] wanna sort this out before i upgrade [09:02] Discordian93, This a phone with android? [09:02] nop, firefox os [09:03] Discordian93, how does lsusb describe it? [09:03] it doesn't, i was wrong, it doesn't show up [09:03] (and yes it's plugged in and charging) [09:04] On Ubuntu 13.10 you can't drag and drop an app from dash to desktop, there is a workaround? [09:04] Installing ubuntu now [09:04] Discordian93, I would ask FF, never seen one here, most are android, and they are hit and miss per the release by carriers, [09:04] Hope it does dual boot properly. [09:04] bizarre thing is it was detecte donce3 [09:04] oce* [09:04] once** [09:04] and no more [09:05] What is a btrfs snapshot, & what is it good for? [09:05] high_fiver, I just checked. unity tweak is the latest version from the repos. no this is definately a 13.10 bug. They need to have an easy fix for this. I gave a few family members 13.04 and planned to upgrade them to 13.10. still undecided but alot of reviews said under the hood it is superior to 13.04 [09:06] can't i force the device to be mounted somehow? [09:06] alazyworkaholic, #btrfs for that [09:07] Discordian93, see if it shows with sudo blkid [09:07] !find gmtp [09:07] Found: gmtp [09:07] Discordian93, install gmtp, then set device to mtp, connect via usb [09:08] mtp? [09:08] alazyworkaholic: snapshots are good for referring/reverting back to [09:08] Discordian93, Gmtp [09:08] how do is et the device to ti gmtp? [09:09] set the device to* [09:09] reisio: so I could use one like this... Make a snapshot, then install something experimental, then roll back the snapshot if it doesn´t work out? [09:09] Discordian93, check in the settings/preferences, I have no idea for your particular device/have you even told us the device name [09:10] alazyworkaholic: stuff like that, sure [09:10] Guest68164, file a bug report. There have been many changes but nothing really to benefit relatives at this stage. Personally I recommend LTS to anyone wanting to try Ubuntu. [09:10] the only option it has is to enable usb mass storage, and it's turned on [09:10] Discordian93, you set the the device to mtp, you install the package ----------> gmtp <------------------ [09:11] yeah, but i don't know hwo tos et the device to mtp [09:11] Discordian93, disconnect the device [09:11] Discordian93, sudo apt-get install gmtp [09:11] Guest68164, you wont have to spent your time fixing their PC issues [09:11] reisio: thanks [09:11] Discordian93, then reattach [09:12] high_fiver, meh I found 13.04 leaps and bounds ahead of 12.04 as far as speed was concerned. I might have messed up in that regard. but still I'll upgrade them to 13.10 when I get a complete hang on this thing. after 14.04 I probably won't mess around with non lts. [09:12] not working, gmtp says there are no devices [09:13] Guest68164, if you do decide to upgrade them wait a few months until the little issues have been ironed out [09:13] Discordian93, did you ever tell us the device name [09:13] zte open [09:13] high_fiver, good plan :). when you think 13.04's support end? [09:13] Discordian93, which is a phone/tablet/what [09:13] phone [09:14] Guest68164: January 2014 [09:14] bazhang, It's a firefox OS phone, I see no info on its file type or linking to a computer so far. [09:14] it's 9 months from release [09:14] Guest68164, Jan 2014 [09:15] Guest68164, I think [09:15] geirha, high_fiver, thank you. gives me a couple of months to wait on it and for them to iron the bugs out. by then it should definately be a good upgrade [09:16] high_fiver, so far other then that troublesome bug its showwing promise. nothing huge after 13.04 but surprisingly It might even have booted up faster. not certain but it seemed that way. no updates after first setting up [09:17] Guest68164, Although reviews are bashing it saying its boring I'd disagree - LXC 1.0 support and OpenStack is exciting! [09:17] high_fiver: I'd use vbox instead. :) [09:17] Guest68164, 14.04 is the next upgrade for me! Should bring it all together [09:18] high_fiver, I find anything open source these days exciting. Thanks to android I am rooting for ubuntu and google since microsoft messed up hardcore with windows 8. its so flat and boring and not that much faster then 7. infact same flipping speed in my book. I hated it [09:18] could any of these help you help me? mac address, imei, iccid of the device [09:19] Discordian93: come on - this is your device, your phone, read the docs on it on how to get the information, this isn't android support [09:19] bekks, I run LXC in vbox [09:19] firefox os, and there are no docs [09:19] Discordian93: ok, then it's firefox OS [09:19] Discordian93: the point is still the same [09:19] high_fiver, and hell on here I have so many options to customize. and with each new ubuntu release new features. [09:20] but it's a problem iwth ubuntu, the phone works fine, it's ubuntu not detcting it. but okay [09:20] Discordian93: yes, and you've been told how to make it work with ubuntu [09:20] Discordian93: now you need information from the phone - you need to get that information [09:21] Well i restarted my pc after installing ubuntu and it booted into windows 7 [09:22] Kolac: Did you install Ubuntu after Windows 7? [09:22] Yes. [09:22] Kolac: Where did you install grub to? [09:22] no idea i just set the partitions for root and /home [09:23] Kolac: And you were asked where grub should be installed to. [09:23] is their some cheat-sheet for all apt-get and aptitude commands ? [09:24] xtriz: man apt-get [09:24] xtriz: man aptitude [09:24] xtriz: "man apt-get" and "man aptitude". [09:24] It didn't ask me at all for the grub [09:25] Kolac, You have more than one HD? [09:25] Yes. I have an SSD and a HDD [09:25] SSD is what's windows on [09:25] Kolac, This a uefi W7? [09:26] I'm sorry wilee-nilee what is a uefi W7? [09:26] ikonia, bekks :) [09:26] high_fiver, anyway thank you for the help. hopefully they will fix that bug. surly it will eratate other people as well [09:26] Kolac, I would see if you boot the second drive first in the bios you get ubuntu's grub [09:27] sent a mail to the firefox os mailing list, hopefully they'll know how to enable mtp on zte open [09:27] chances are grub is in it's mbr [09:27] I'll try that then wilee-nilee [09:27] Brb. [09:27] though i think it's already enabled, that's what "usb mass storage" should be [09:29] okay, fiound [09:29] found info: zte open has no mtp [09:29] so, I guess I'm screwed === newbie is now known as Kolac [09:30] wilee-nilee: No it doesnt show up. [09:31] is it possible to use 13.10 with older kernels? (im aiming for 3.6 or so) [09:31] Voi: no [09:31] Voi: (technically yes but not in a real world situation) [09:31] wilee-nilee: ? [09:32] Kolac, There is an app bootrepiar to fix boots, and it runs a script called the bootinfo summary that you save the url to, run just that and post the url. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [09:33] ikonia: i got a bug thats most likely been introduces with 3.7 and hasnt been fixed yet (and pretty much makes using ubuntu impossible for me), what do i do? :) [09:33] Voi: wait for the bug to be fixed [09:33] Kolac, That summary will tell us what is up without tons of questions. [09:33] Voi: push and drive the bug solution forward [09:33] wilee-nilee: run that in ubuntu or windows? [09:34] Kolac, You would use the live cd/usb read the link. [09:35] so, if gmtp is not an option there is no other solution? firefox os doesn't appear to support mtp [09:35] hi guys, does anyone know about scrypt mining in ubuntu with cgminer? ive got an amd 5970 with 2 gpus on it, and i cant get the 2nd gpu to work in cgminer even though ive exported it [09:36] Hello, could you tell me where I can find help about the espeak configuration ? I have a problem using French language. :( [09:36] Discordian93: the best thing to do would be to ask the firefox team "what is the process to use this with linux" [09:36] Discordian93: once they have clarified the process/requirements you can look at setting that up in ubuntu [09:37] yeah, already sent them an email to the mailing. list. wil wait, bye [09:39] hi! [09:39] i need help [09:39] i want to install [09:39] Android-x86 [09:39] to a USB drive [09:39] what happens then? [09:40] will I be able to boot that drive from any PC? [09:40] what do you mean what happens then lol [09:40] if android supports the hardware, then yes. [09:40] what happens if I install Grub [09:40] gs2012: that's not really an ubuntu issue [09:40] And your probably better looking in th Android channel [09:40] gs2012: take it to the android support channels please. [09:40] what is the channel? [09:40] no idea [09:40] :( [09:40] gs2012: ask in #freenode how to search channels [09:41] try google they may tell you [09:41] !alis | gs2012 [09:41] gs2012: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels.

[09:50] or rather i did select the SSD (win7 is there) as bootloader place, but nothing happend, no boot manager at starting the pc [09:51] usergwiel: please re-read what I said [09:51] usergwiel, were you just here as Kolac?

I did actually search a little, but didn't seem to be much there.

[10:18] Kens giro try deleting some gnome folders [10:18] with open source drivers [10:18] thegladiator_: I use the Android app Airdroid for that, install on the phone & run it, it gives you a web address on your own internal routers network which you connect to using a web browser, click connect on the phone & thats about it [10:18] Linuxuz3rttt what folders? [10:18] How can I disable the default launcher's keybindings in unity ? [10:19] i have airdroid installed [10:19] .gconf I think [10:19] let me try again [10:19] Or .gconf2 [10:19] Linuxuz3rttt ok I will try, thank you ! ;) [10:19] Then relogin [10:19] ok ! [10:20] DJones, sigh , wonder why it didnt work before I tried ... plus wifi transfer never works .. I was thinking it would be some routing nonsense and I might have to study networking basics .... but no airdroid is working as expected thanks ! [10:20] "Wifi Transfer" the app I mean [10:20] thegladiator_: You're welcome [10:21] do you use a air droid account for that? [10:21] just curious , its offtopic perhaps [10:21] thegladiator_: No, don't think so, been a while since I installed it though [10:21] right [10:22] ikonia: i tried every of my 3 disks, even though the mbr should be on the ssd (windows) . installed from usb-stick, maybe the installation collapses when i pull the usb stick out? but if i dont, the selection menu shows up again with try ubuntu w/o install, install ubuntu and OEM === bill is now known as Guest28902 [10:22] usergwiel: what device ID are you installing grub to from the installer ? [10:23] ikonia: i tried sda, sdb and sdc [10:23] usergwiel: if you are booting from a usb stick, it can be common that you actually end up installing grub to the usb device [10:23] usergwiel: what device is your boot device ? [10:25] ikonia: my first boot device is usb, as i usually install from a stick [10:25] usergwiel: no, I mean what device in linux is your boot device in your bios, [10:26] ikonia: do you mean the "name" of the HDD i want to install linux on? [10:26] usergwiel: what device is your machine booting from [10:26] after the install [10:27] Anyone on Ubuntu touch [10:27] ikonia: usb stick again (ubuntu installer needs to restart the system, as usual, but after reboot i just come again to the selection menu to choose "try ubuntu" and "install ubuntu" [10:28] usergwiel: you're meant to take the usb stick out AFTER the install [10:28] usergwiel: or it will continue to boot from it === jim is now known as Guest59913 [10:29] !touch | Linuxuz3rttt [10:29] Linuxuz3rttt: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch [10:29] ikonia: thats what i did. after removing the usb from the pc, screen would stay black. so i pushed the reset button and windows booted w/o any selection [10:29] Thx [10:29] usergwiel: please try to understand what I'm asking - what device is set in the bios to be the default boot device [10:30] is there not an ordinary x86 image of touch one can play with? [10:30] ikonia: do you mean were my system is usually booting from? [10:30] usergwiel: in the bios - you have a "default boot device" - what is it [10:31] hi , is it correct that the new Ubuntu 13.10 download should only be 883 MB please ? [10:31] meme: the size and checksums are listed on the ubuntu site [10:32] meme: around there, yup [10:33] ikonia: i dunno, i've just been into boot devices to set the order to search for bootloaders (first boot device, second boot ....) never saw the default boot device. where do i find it? (and do you know where to find it in uefi?) [10:33] usergwiel: you need to work out then what device you are setting to be the default boot device in your bios [10:33] usergwiel: then make sure grub goes on to that device [10:33] I had a power failure yesterday, and now I'm fearing one of my RAID5 discs have gone bad.

[10:34] ok thank you ikonia [10:34] usergwiel: yes [10:34] ikonia: Sorry, I figured different people were on different channels. [10:35] ikonia: am i right to put the bootloader onto sda, for example, and not to sda1? [10:35] usergwiel: it should go onto a disk not a partition, so if sda is your boot drive, then yes, sda, not sda1 [10:35] ikonia: well, thank you. gonna try it again ;-) === michaelni_ is now known as michaelni [10:43] how do you run ubuntu as admin?

Using disk utility, I see that all tests are failing, and Uncorrectable sector count and write error rate tests have failed (only those two). Is there a way I can repair my hard disk? [11:03] If your home is not encrypted, place the wallpaper in ~/Pictures (directly inside it, not in a subfolder). Also make sure this folder is readbale by everyone.

[11:53] hello, I'm trying to get bumblebee up and running on my new Ascer Aspire V5-573G with fresh installed kubuntu 13.10, it has a nvidia GeForce GT750M. I installed bumblebee and nvidia-319 through apt-get. after a restart I tried optirun xeyes and got the following result: http://pastebin.com/ewv9tN2K . my uname -a Linux caecili 3.11.0-12-generic #19-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 9 16:20:46 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux === ubuntu is now known as Guest60417 [11:58] How do I export my current display ( :0 ) over vnc?

[12:00] does anyone here use supervisord for controlling web servers? [12:00] liquidmetal: ask your question it's faster ;o) [12:01] Mindiell, I'm curious where your host the supervisord web interface... is it on the same website? how do you password-control that location? [12:02] liquidmetal: Hmm, in fact I control web sites with supervisor, but I'm not controlling supervisor via a web site [12:03] Mindiell, is it the cli you use then? [12:04] liquidmetal: I use supervisor... I set a coonfig file for each web server to start (using gunicorn, nginx, and python) [12:04] Mindiell, how do you go about checking if everything's working as expected? [12:05] liquidmetal: Well, I do not. The gunicorn command starts the web server. I could go on the web site, or verify some logs maybe [12:07] liquidmetal: What do you want to check exactly ? If the command has been launched ? If the server is available ? [12:07] yup.. [12:08] I'm launching commands that do bg jobs... so checking if they're running by visiting a website wouldn't work [12:09] liquidmetal: you can use "supervisorctl status" command [12:09] hello everyone [12:09] liquidmetal, true... but I was hoping for a gui [12:09] liquidmetal: it will show you all process running under supervisor control [12:10] is it so difficult ? You want to check it automatically ? [12:10] launch a bg command sending you an email of the result of the status command ;o) [12:13] i want to copy all my settings, tweaks for new user, but i am having a problem, i copied my home directory files, many files , i am not aware of, to /etc/skel but there is one problem, the problem is that it is also copying some privileges that are associated with my account and when new user log in it pop up error messages, 11 windows, popup one by one, which are related to neopmuk and akonaditray, i am using ubuntu 12.04 LTS [12:13] it happens with every new user created [12:13] !permissions | kalaka [12:13] kalaka: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [12:13] any idea, how to solve that [12:13] kalaka: you must chown the files to your new user [12:14] what should be file permission to /etc/skel/ contents [12:14] Hey, has anyone had success installing ubuntu on Dell XPS 8700 desktop?

I'd like to know, does the Gmail Firefox webapp work for you in 13.10? [12:40] the bios detects it on the cold boot [12:41] and certainly, if it's not spinning up fast enough then it most definately has a problem [12:41] marlo: at power on i get the error: out of disk it boots only after i restart the pc [12:41] i cant figure out how to see the shared folders on my network from other pc's running on windows... can someone help [12:42] Hyperbyte: but yeah, send that hdd back. what brand is it?

First time for me with uefi and I want to keep win8 on the side. So I freed up some space about 50GB to install it on, however the installer doesn't see the free space and wants to format the entire drive. Now I have to set up the partitions manually.. So: Swap is still needed, right? With the limited space I have splitting OS and pesonal files is probably not so good [13:03] gioele: I know it's on the boot menu of the server disk.

[13:15] Patero-ng: 13.04 is only supported for 3 more months, so go with either 12.04 or 13.10 [13:15] Guest6740, no, I have alswys had swap partitions [13:15] I have an old system with 4GB of RAM and recall it only using swap once or twice when running multiple VMs or similar fun [13:15] Guest6740: OOM killer - the system starts killing processes randomly [13:16] Guest6740: the BEST place to put a swap on is an ssd, but if you're using the swap often, then you should upgrade your ram [13:16] and for hibernate to work, swap would need to be the same size as the RAM [13:16] Guest6740, see? having swap on an ssd thats almost never used makes little difference to the ssd [13:17] yeah, point taken. It just comes out of the 50GB of diskspace i have.. i guess i'm gonna start with having swap..

[14:57] yes, they are kostkon [14:58] dannymichel, have you tried the open with shotwell option? it might opens the files with the viewer after all === Guest6740 is now known as kaddi [14:59] yes, it opens with regular shotwell and not the niewer kostkon [14:59] dannymichel, damn [15:00] dannymichel, do a: locate *shotwell*.desktop [15:01] dannymichel, i could give you my shotwell-viewer.desktop file if you haven't got it already [15:02] kostkon, http://pastebin.com/pDGZ68es [15:03] dannymichel, pastebin it for me just to compare it with mine: gedit /usr/share/applications/shotwell-viewer.desktop [15:04] kostkon, http://pastebin.com/QXe08Bd2 [15:06] dannymichel, i guess they are the same. then obviously let's try the obvious, setting the nodisplay to False. [15:07] what file do i set nodisplay=false to kostkon ? [15:07] dannymichel, sudo nano /usr/share/applications/shotwell-viewer.desktop [15:07] dannymichel, save the file then logout and log back in.

I ran this http://fpaste.org/47979/19562213/ as a workaround for simply uninstalling update-manager. I didnt want to uninstall because it removed the lubuntu-desktop metapackage from my system. I need lubuntu-desktop in case addition deps are added to it in the future, but do not want update-manager, or atleast dont want it popping up. Is there any problems that could arise from this setup? [15:17] i need help with find -mtime [15:17] hi === hacker is now known as Guest82436 [15:17] with mtitime i can specify days right? [15:17] mtime === Guest632 is now known as xtriz_ [15:19] hello is there a way i can modify my time and date settings? they seem to be off [15:20] Facepalm: yes, the argument it requires is the number of days [15:20] pingincatnik: date command or ntpdate [15:20] guys, I'm lost. what's the package containing 32bit libsqlite3.so.0 [15:21] pfifo: what if I want to find files changed in months instead if days [15:21] what is the name of the package which has the option to connect through ssh, ftp , samba ? the image of the software is given in this link but the name is not mentioned. -> http://askubuntu.com/questions/217693/is-there-an-easy-way-to-set-up-a-home-ftp-server [15:21] Facepalm: you cant, you have to use days, but its ok to say something like 1440 days ago [15:22] ok thanks pfifo [15:23] Facepalm: you could do this too in a script 'find -mtime `expr $months \* 30`' [15:25] kernal: libsqlite3-0 [15:26] pfifo: Don't use expr though; the shell can do math too. $(( months * 30 )) [15:26] xtriz_: im pretty sure that image is from the connect to server option in nautilus [15:27] hi all, I have a toshiba nb-305 netbook booting into a black screen with ubuntu 12.10. then added "nomodeset" and now it boots into the terminal. but not into the desktop. any ideas what to do now? [15:27] pfifo, yeah you are right [15:27] Any dpkg guru's around? I ran this http://fpaste.org/47979/19562213/ as a workaround for simply uninstalling update-manager. I didnt want to uninstall because it removed the lubuntu-desktop metapackage from my system. I need lubuntu-desktop in case addition deps are added to it in the future, but do not want update-manager, or atleast dont want it popping up. Is there any problems that could arise from this setup? [15:28] SteveBell: find out your graphics card and make sure you have the appropriate driver for it [15:28] so http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Graphics-Media-Accelerator-3150.23264.0.html seems to be the chip auronandace but what now? [15:29] SteveBell: i can't help with intel cards sorry [15:29] SteveBell: any reason you are trying 12.10 and not 13.10? [15:30] auronandace: well I was on 12.04 (working fine) and wanted to go to 13.10 but then read that a direct update was not recommended [15:30] SteveBell: the more recent the release the more recent the kernel being used and the more up to date the drivers are for it [15:30] so now I'm stuck on 12.10 black screen [15:31] SteveBell: why is it booting to a black screen? === amin is now known as Mohandes [15:32] hi all, i want to delete some log files from /var/log/ , should i delete them, i need some space [15:32] pfifo: If only I knew that [15:34] SteveBell: when you boot, at the grub screen, press 'e' to edit your kernel command line and remove the 'quiet splash' part and likely the 'nomodeset' part that should now be there, press ctrl+x to boot and look for errors [15:34] the ubuntu mini isos for 13.10 have dates of Oct. 15, two days before the official release. Are these not final release iso's? [15:34] pfifo: so I get into grub screen by pressing ESC key? [15:35] SteveBell: i dont know, i setup grub to always disply itself and prompt me [15:36] SteveBell: you press shift [15:36] http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/10/the-navys-newest-warship-is-powered-by-linux/ [15:36] hi all, i want to delete some log files from /var/log/ , should i delete them, i need some space [15:36] can i safely delete them, without affecting system stability [15:36] auronandace: shift doesn't do anything on that netboot when booting [15:38] kalakaj: no you cant... it is safe to remove the *.gz files, but to delete the normal files you should use 'echo -n | sudo tee /var/log/offender.log' [15:38] hi === GingerGeek is now known as GingerGeek[Away] [15:39] ok esc didn't work. now I'm again in the terminal asking for my login [15:40] does somebody else has to problem that ubuntu server release upgrades fails to reboot? [15:40] *the problem [15:41] SteveBell: try shift [15:42] SteveBell: im pretty sure you have to hold it, not just press it [15:43] * SteveBell is holding shift for 1min already [15:43] should sth happen? [15:44] hello [15:44] maybe i need this? https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Graphics&ProductLine=Netbook+and+Tablet+Graphics&ProductProduct=Intel®+Graphics+Media+Accelerator+3150+%28Intel®+GMA+3150%29 [15:45] for shift on boot: nothing happens , as soon as I release I'm back to the purple background === GingerGeek[Away] is now known as GingerGeek [15:46] SteveBell, 3150 should work fine [15:46] kostkon: that means? nothing to do? [15:46] SteveBell, in the terminal try giving: sudo service lightdm start [15:47] I see the ubuntu logo for 2 sec and then the screen goes black. ok will try [15:48] if I just apt-get install hibernate, will that destroy my computer? [15:48] system* [15:48] SteveBell: maybe its control... grub changes its key evey 36 hours to confuse people on purpose [15:48] SteveBell, your graphics card shouldn't be the problem. in theory always. [15:48] SteveBell, 3150 is well supported [15:49] kostkon: I believe you. and still I'm sitting in front of a black screen [15:49] SteveBell, yeah :/ [15:49] am I endangering my system if I apt-get install hibernate and use it? [15:50] systemfish: no, it was removed due to so many problems, but if you want it, and can get it to work properly, go fir it [15:50] pfifo: yes they are pretty successful with that. I got into grub once. don't ask me how. It was the esc key I'm pretty sure. but it seems it has to be pressed on the exact right time. no human being knows that time. [15:50] great stuff... [15:50] nah you wont fix it [15:51] Hi guys, How can I save my installed apps for reinstallation (not just a list). I cleaned up apt cache so aptoncd not going to work. [15:51] SteveBell: you can always edit /etc/default/grub from the terminal you can get to, set HIDDEN=0 and the sudo update-grub [15:51] ok esc got me into grub [15:51] hello, when you disable file and application usage(zeitgeist) in security & privacy...should it stop the zeistgeist-daemon process? seems a bit useless to have it running if you've disabled it(13.10 [15:52] hi there. my (graphical) update to 13.10 seems to be stuck configuring xorg-docs-core. any advices? or should I reboot and "apt-get -f install"? [15:52] yey. turns out pressing it once (but not right after starting the machine) and then again does work [15:52] so now I go to extended options for ubuntu? [15:52] could someone help me with WLAN? I wanna install ubuntu server on an HP N54L and I have to conntect via WLAN. I bought an ASUS PCE-N15 for that and when I install Ubuntu, it discovers that card correctly, but I somehow can't associate with an AP. Am I right that I only have to set the ESSID to associate an AP with my card? [15:53] pfifo: what problems? :s [15:53] SteveBell: highlight your ubuntu entry, press 'e', and remove 'quite splash nomodeset' from the kernel line, then ctrl+x to boot [15:53] systemfish: it hangs on boot, or dosent bring all your stuff back online [15:54] goodbye [15:54] pfifo: wow.. I'll apt-install purge it then [15:55] Hi [15:55] pfifo: so I remove "quiet splash" only? it says "quiet splash_$vt_handoff" [15:55] ah sry: "quiet splash $vt_handoff" [15:55] I lost my connection earlier. There seems to be an ancient ubuntu bug around that makes your CPU-fan spin like a cat when you wake it up from sleep. Are there any real fixes to it? [15:56] Can somebody help me. I'm having a bit of a struggle using bumblebee [15:56] SteveBell: leave the $vt_handoff [15:56] Sorry. I try it agaig. How can I save my installed apps for reinstallation (not just a list). I cleaned up apt cache so aptoncd not going to work. [15:56] Mugen: ask optimus prime === sleezio is now known as sleezio|bama === instellation is now known as CrazyEddy [15:58] JohnSmith: if you removed you packages from /var/cache/apt/archives then youll have to download everything again [15:59] hello [15:59] pfifo: hm it does boot for a while but now I find my self back on the terminal line asking for a login [15:59] :S [16:00] I'm having issues with connecting to my nfs share from my mac - I've connected, set the permissions up, set the binds correctly (can ls the dir through ssh) [16:00] SteveBell: from the terminal, run 'sudo service lightdm start' [16:00] only problem, I don't see any of the files from my mac [16:04] hello. [16:04] mariko, hi [16:05] mariko list [16:05] exit [16:05] quit [16:05] :/ [16:05] ntp just sync my machines clock to correct time ? it does automatically on every system boot ? [16:06] mariko found it... [16:06] I killed a process with an open port (8080), and now I can't open a new server on port 8080 [16:06] How do I release port 8080 [16:07] GeekFood: pastebin the output of 'sudo netstat -tuna' [16:09] pfifo: hm it's sitting there looks like booting. I wrote down those steps and will test this when I have more time. have an appointment now. thanks for your help so far. [16:09] xtr, ntpdate does it during boot if there is an internet connection, i think, and then ntp from time to time if you have enabled it [16:09] pfifo: http://pastebin.com/JWXzMfJ5 [16:11] GeekFood: it is in time wait status, try again in 5 minuts, or to answer your actual question. restart the networking service or reboot to make it happen instantly [16:11] pfifo: How would I restart networking? [16:11] I want to make a note of it for future reference [16:12] Ok BluesKaj, I tried most all those solutions from that page, none seem to work. Most time I could get back to the desktop, but the NVIDIA Drivers didn't seem to have took. But no matter what I do now, my resolution is default and I can't change it from 800x600 or 1024x768. When I first installed 13.10 I at least had the resolution looking better. [16:12] Easy way to rollback to default setup? Or is it better to just reinstall? [16:12] GeekFood: Im not sure about the properly supported 'ubuntu' method, I think 'sudo service networking restart' [16:12] pfifo: thanks [16:13] designbybeck: there is no rollback in ubuntu. best way is to reinstall [16:13] IdleOne: I tried to clean up /remove some of the things I tried but that didn't seem to get me back to where I was... So I guess a new install will be my only option [16:14] pfifo: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart seems to be the answer [16:14] When I run a python program where the program exists using ./program, all is well. But when I attempt to create a cronjob, using 00 05 * * * /full/path/of/the/file I get errors stating it can't find some directory I've specific in the code [16:15] GeekFood: thats not the "supported by #ubuntu" method, but glad you found it [16:15] hmm... It didn't seem to work, but I probably did something wrong. I think it would be best for me to just reboot so I am sure everything is running correctly. [16:16] hi [16:17] eoss: cron has a limited enviroment, I would makesure you have the enviroment setup properly [16:17] pfifo: thank you [16:18] designbybeck. sorry to hear that , next time I'll refrain from recommending that tutorial [16:18] pfifo: Ignore everything I said previously. TIL ^z means "send running process to background" [16:18] fg fixed my problem [16:18] G33kDude: ok [16:19] It did seem promising BluesKaj and had some good info. I'll reinstall clean, and give it a few weeks! The OSS community, along with NVIDIA/Steams new targets will hopefully get a nice fix [16:20] if I creat [16:20] designbybeck. we can only hope :P [16:20] Do you know how I can investigate the crash on chromium? Since ubuntu 13.10 I can't watch youtube [16:21] It chrashes all the time [16:21] i cant use my partition after i choosed it to be crypted during installation >> what can i do on terminal?

[16:23] He4dShOt: run 'chromium-browser' from the command line to get useful error messages [16:24] pfifo, if i have a router and using 4 machines. I have made one machine as a server, is it of any benefit of having the main server machine dhcp and dns on it ? and let other 3 machines to get their network info from them ? [16:24] security wise or efficiency wise ? [16:25] thanks pfifo, I'll try [16:25] xtriz_: As opposed to having the router run dhcp? [16:25] Facepalm, %S? [16:25] He4dShOt: ill try === ISO8601 is now known as yano [16:26] buu, yes instead of router the other machines get their ip from the main server having dhcp. [16:26] xtriz_: nothing that I can think of, most routers that Ive used are embed linux systems anyway, so its the same difference [16:26] xtriz_: Also this way your network will continue to run if your server goes down [16:27] buu, can't get you [16:27] pfifo, ok [16:27] xtriz_: your server can configure dhcp and dns in much finer detail than most consumer grade routers, thats the only advantage I can think of. but thats not security or efficiency related [16:29] xtriz_: I like to use a static IP on my server and then let my router assign IPs to all my devices, this seems to work out pretty good [16:29] pfifo, nice info :) === Unibawb is now known as DJ_Unibob [16:32] * DJ_Unibob is considering taking a sledgehammer to his ancient dsl modem that appaarently seems to be on it's last legs. -.- [16:32] hi, could i get help installing ethernet drivers? atheros ar8151 v1.0 gigabit ethernet, ubuntu 12.10 [16:33] DJ_Unibob: I would take a ebay auction to it instead, might be worth something to someone [16:34] Eh, it's old, it's inaccessable in a browser, and the wireless side of it doesn't work, have to use another router setup as an AP, just to avoid a double-NAT [16:34] hello [16:35] my two laptops which I upgraded to lubuntu 13.10 from 13.04 stopped scanning on 2 scanners [16:35] any hints how to search why it happened like this?

I upgraded and so far I see zero difference from 13.04 [16:40] hello [16:40] I would actually like to get to the GUI if there is still a way and look at the logs and see if there's a reason why the PPPoE has been dropping 2 orr 3 times a day all of a sudden. [16:41] my cheese software doesnt record videos .. any solution? [16:42] DJ_Unibob: If your using a 2nd router as an AP, I doubt that the 1st router will let you into the GUI, try a wired connection instead [16:43] hp_: I use mencoder to make videos from webcam [16:43] pfifo: is mencoder on ubuntu 13.10 repo?

And setting a .Xmodmap file didn't work either. [17:42] kosmotak: I don't think you can Upgrade to Ubuntu on a Slax-install [17:43] no i mean i don't have installed slax yet [17:43] i don't have any os [17:43] okey [17:43] and i want install ubuntu [17:43] okey [17:43] without cd [17:43] or penderive [17:43] !enter | kosmotak [17:43] kosmotak: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line.

If I run the Stockfish4 engine, I get around a maximum of 30% CPU load per core under Windows 7, but under Ubuntu 13.10 the chess engine process constantly eats up 95% of the CPU load on all 4 cores. [18:07] yeats: iam with the window opened, but icant find that word multiverve no where .... [18:07] cybb112: The code differs.

[18:08] __raven: No. [18:08] no i see, just ckeck [18:08] cybb112: you'd have to ask the developer [18:08] how to install t50?

[18:11] I tried to install 13.10 alongside windows 7 but when it restarted my pc it said the installation had failed and asked me to send a bug report. [18:11] sarge1221, you can use launchpad to start your own repository and use their building service [18:11] hey guys, I have windows 7, and I tried installing ubuntu through a cd I burned on a partition I created. However, ubuntu failed to install, and windows 7 won't start up any more. Has this happened to anyone before? [18:11] Infandum: Why do you want to use btrfs? [18:11] jetro_: i think its like what happened to me [18:11] I have 4 ACPI Warnings... System seems to be operating fine, but is there a way to fix them anyway? Ubuntu13.10 Lenovo G570 i5 [18:11] sarge1221: if you want to build it yourself (as in compile the sources yourself) then you might want to look at a source distro [18:11] sarge1221: maybe look up http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ [18:11] bekks: right... tell that to apt-get versus aptitude alsa oss pulseaudio blah blah blah. the list goes on and on for annoyances. I want something i can play frankestein's monster with since it seems the dev are more problematic than anything.

[18:11] bekks: other topic: Do you know of a way how to install Ubuntu on a partition with custom mount options. [18:12] I don't think that's what he wants hitsujiTMO [18:12] hm [18:12] Bonjour.

Whenever I try to download from browser it gives me permission denied and the folder shows up locked in my file manager now [18:12] Bonjour === georg is now known as another_georg [18:12] I can bypass by running firefox as su, but i dont really want to do that everytime [18:12] The Ubuntu installer doesn't allow me to set mount options, such as compression for btrfs during installation === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [18:12] and chromium wont let me do that [18:12] sarge1221: And how does all that affect the fact that you actually can customize every linux? [18:12] also for the record i hate gnome 3 with a passion and unity. [18:12] bekks, I think you are right. Do you know how I can fix it? [18:12] cybb112: Thats correct. [18:12] aaron__: go to your home directory and run ls -l | grep Downloads and tell us what it says [18:12] supergauntlet: Yikes, I heard it was in good stable condition. The main reason is that I saw horror storries with SSD EXT4 online. [18:12] !grub2 | jetro__ [18:12] jetro__: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [18:13] Infandum: google about it, I might be wrong [18:13] supergauntlet: well, thats the answer i given to such an open ended question :P [18:13] Infandum: it's still beta though [18:13] join #lubuntu [18:13] hitsujiTMO: lol [18:13] cybb112: you might want to install with debootstrap [18:13] hitsujiTMO: I think Arch or Gentoo might be more his thing [18:13] supergauntlet: True, but I figure I wouldn't wear out my SDD though. [18:13] pfifo: why not make it available in the installer [18:13] hitsujiTMO: or just debian net if he wants to be lightweight [18:13] aaron__: you should check the permissions, look for who the owner is, you might have changed it to root by mistake [18:13] Infandum: I should look into that too [18:13] bekks: go lookup HP pavilion dv5 1004nr and that will answer your question. graphic card issues and soundcard issues on every version of linux thus far.

[18:13] Infandum: I have xubuntu on an SSD so.. [18:14] Patero-ng: what do you mean? [18:14] cybb112: go right ahead, software patches can be submitted on launchpad.net [18:14] hi, does anyone how to install the intel graphics installer in 13.10 // libpackagekit-glib2-14 as depency is not available in 13.10? [18:14] another_georg: its in the kernel [18:14] bekks, I had windows installed already and was trying to install ubuntu [18:14] isn't it? [18:14] aaron__: you can run: ls -lahd Downloads/ #and get some information [18:14] sarge1221: Which still does not affect the fact that you can customize every linux. [18:14] sarge1221: Do you have a specific ubuntu support question? [18:14] bekks, it's hard for me to articulate everything in words, here are some screen shots: http://imgur.com/a/vYMQ6 === amir_ is now known as Guest75387 [18:15] so many join/part messages [18:15] drwx------ 7 root root 4096 Oct 8 15:34 Downloads [18:15] so why is my graphic performance worse in 13.10 than in 13.04 with the Intel Installer? Laptop getting hotter and louder.... :( [18:15] aaron__: from there you can try using chown and chmod to make it so you can change those files, but be careful that you don't overwrite the permissions of others [18:15] ? [18:15] bekks: oh but it does when you have no sound and every linux boots into fallback mode every time you boot it up. I want a stripped down basically give me the parts I'll assemble the car since you seem to just break it everytime I start to introduce a couple of new pieces into the mix to fix problems already present. [18:15] aaron__: from the console run sudo chown Downloads -R [18:15] sarge1221: Do you have a specific ubuntu support question? [18:16] aaron__: so I would think something like 'sudo chown aaron:aaron Downloads/' might help, where aaron is whatever your user is [18:16] aaron__: that command can be made recursive, too [18:16] hm, maybe it is the second graphic card Nvidia opteron thats used more than before....? [18:17] so, I guess the 13.10 iso filesize bug is not resolved? [18:17] another_georg: what? [18:17] pfifo: what bug? [18:17] supergauntlet because there are many websites claiming to allow download of that program and I don't want injected spyware [18:17] probly not piffo. [18:17] Patero-ng: what program, md5? [18:17] md5sum [18:17] aaron__: but yes, running firefox as root was not a good answer, you were correct to doubt it as anything more than a temp fix [18:17] Patero-ng: it should be built into ubuntu... [18:17] supergauntlet: the 13.10 iso filesize bug [18:17] There's a filesize bug? [18:18] first I've heard of it [18:18] can i discuss nfs related issues? [18:18] K, that fixed the problem. Thanks a lot superguantlet and schrod. I just couldnt figure how how I may have accidentally done it and i was reading on chmod and chown but havent used much and wasnt familiar [18:18] supergauntlet: yes, it seems the iso not being able to fit on a CD is a bug. which sucks for me, I dont have any DVDs [18:18] pfifo: lol [18:18] That's intended I believe, sorry to say [18:18] pfifo: not a bug - that's by design over the last couple/few releases [18:19] pfifo: hold on though [18:19] although I am sorry that you are dead now that I have seen you schrodinger.....lol [18:19] !mini | pfifo [18:19] pfifo: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [18:19] can anyone give me a tip on how to get the version nickname from the terminal, I need a quick way of grabbing "raring" or "saucy" or whichever to use in a script [18:19] aaron__: I think the default chmod for that was 755, but you can do as you please :) [18:19] yeats: basically was gonna say this [18:19] literally just the one word, [18:20] aaron__: am i dead or not? [18:20] yeats: I read that it is a bug [18:20] imark: cat '/etc/lsb-release' [18:20] supergauntlet: I have an asus n76v laptop with 2 graphic cards as an alternative to my macbook [18:20] and usually the linux is more fun [18:20] schrodingerscat: yeah, thats where I need to study up on chmod, i dont get the numbers and everything yet [18:20] yeats: just the one work, for a script [18:20] word [18:20] only if I see you [18:20] lowercase [18:20] for chmod, you can usually use letter combinations to get you by [18:21] chmod a+x, for instance [18:21] x eXecute [18:21] how can I use cd with sudo? It always tells me that command doesn't exsist [18:21] a resource on how to build linux from just terminal base. I want to be able to run linux with apt-get and not aptitude. I want app-armor and ufw. I want to run oss audio as much as I am able to. I want a kernal that runs the non-free device drivers from the beginning etc. I want to basically make my own linux I guess? Pick and choose what I know works and remove everythign else that doesn't. [18:21] etc [18:21] but now my power consumption is way up .... [18:21] imark: 'lsb_release -c | awk '{print $2}'' [18:21] can somebody please give me the regex for this?

[18:22] malinus: You can't. chdir changes the directory of the current process. chdir() is what cd calls, however, sudo is a new child process of the shell, and cd is a builtin (since it doesn't make sense for it to be external) [18:22] sarge1221: yes LFS is what you described [18:22] if you're into that sort of fun. personally, I'm much happier not /having/ to dig into the entrails to get it doing what I want it to do [18:22] sarge1221: closest you'll get is debian netinstall or ubuntu minimal with a custom kernel [18:23] ubottu: how i can registration ?

Not recommended since it is having a slew of development issues. I tried to install cinnamon desktop only for it to have confliction issues with gnome resources and the package managers for aptitude and apt-get have messed up my package list completely. [18:24] Hmm [18:25] Having a problem [18:25] it's been causing issues with upower, and general unhappinesss with my wireless keyboard (logitech device with proprietary driver) [18:25] I'm out in the middle of no where [18:25] No USB sticks/blank CD drives [18:25] And I want to dual boot ubuntu :P [18:25] sarge1221: Hon... ick. Pick a not-screwed distro, and call me back. [18:25] pixlepix: then go in middle of somewhere :) [18:25] Macbook pro, OSX [18:26] I have grub installed [18:26] From a previous installation of ubuntu [18:26] Basil1x: I don't think one exists at this time. Why don't you go make us one? [18:26] Booting up grub from refit gives 'error: partition not found" [18:26] Done and done. :D [18:26] pixlepix: so, can grub load the iso then install from there? [18:26] Basil1x: I dunno, debian is pretty solid usually [18:26] pixlepix: you can get grub2 to boot an iso image [18:26] I don't know what happenned with sarge1221's install, that seems really strange [18:27] exit [18:27] How? [18:27] So anyone know what I can do about this: http://imgur.com/a/vYMQ6 [18:27] pixlepix: first try to figure it out yourself before asking for support [18:27] Well... he's having tribbles, supergauntlet. Just though taking a butchers at another distro might help. Even if only in the appreciating-what-he-has arena. [18:27] I have been :P [18:28] jetro__: Honestly? Reinstall windows [18:28] yeats: even better thanks [18:28] jetro__: then install ubuntu again [18:28] If I made a system image of Windows 8 including the efi partition, the operationg system partition, etc., if I wipe it all and put ubuntu on and then decide later for critical reasons I need windows, can I restore all of windows onto the empty disk from the image? [18:28] jetro__: I don't know if theres anything else you can do [18:28] supergauntlet: it it is so solid why am I forced to use aptitude for package management? and yes if you don't apt-get will break your manager. It tried to get me to basically auto remove my entire gnome 3 base out of linux which would break it. xD [18:28] Hi. My Ubuntu 13.10 installed earlier, it restarted and then decided it did not install and told me it was stopped half way through and did not finish. I posted this (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1242081) but don't understand the comment. [18:28] Ubuntu bug 1242081 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "installation restarted computer. crashed installation" [High,New] [18:28] jetro__: Unless ubuntu detects the windows installation while windows startup repair doesnt [18:28] supergauntlet, but then I will lose all my programs, etc :( [18:28] during upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04, the terminal had a message reading in part "this likely means your installation is broken" [18:28] the installation is still going on [18:29] should that be worrying me [18:29] /join #ubuntu-ru [18:29] where's the log file generated during a dist- [18:29] jetro__: Try installing with linux again, perhaps grub will detect it [18:29] join #ubuntu-ru [18:29] err dist-upgrade [18:29] supergauntlet, I think ubuntu does detect the windows installation, because if I run ubuntu from the cd, then try to install, it gives the option to install alongside windows [18:29] sarge1221: I've actually never had that happen but that sounds like more of an apt-get bug than a debian one [18:29] I'd like to take a look; the terminal had some suggestion for a workaround, and I'd like to know what that suggestion is. [18:29] jetro__: hmm, interesting [18:31] Hello, I am on ubuntu 12.10 [18:31] and want to add a keyboard shortcut for Konsole which I just installed [18:32] what should I write in the command field in keyboard shortcuts in system settings? [18:32] pixlepix: heres my grub.cfg, it should help http://fpaste.org/48009/38220749/ [18:32] Anyone know if it is possible to force Skype to connect with a SOCKS5 proxy on Ubuntu like you can with Windows registry entries (like so: http://imgur.com/a/NpFdW)?

If you want, I can take a picture [18:33] supergauntlet: Would there be away to customize a linux from scratch? I could pick and choose what package manager it runs, make it run nautilus, ufw, apparmor, idebi package manager, utilize thecinnamon desktop environment. Just want ot pick and choose what I want from the beginning. [18:33] Authrax: proxychains was a good wrapper, you'd still have to check for leaks [18:33] sarge1221: LFS dosent have a package manager [18:33] I've been having a problem getting keyboard shortcuts that use Alt to work in ubuntu 12.10 over my wireless keyboard. [18:33] That seemed strang [18:34] please help to setup custom keyboard shortcuts [18:34] hm. somehow I lost it on my wired keyboard as well. [18:34] what should I add in the command field [18:34] shortcuts with just Ctrl seem to work fine. [18:34] jetro__: Yeah, what error message does it say? [18:34] when I make a synlink to an executable script, it doesn't open the same. what's the right way to do it? [18:34] pfifo: what is LPS? [18:35] sarge1221: ubuntu minimal sounds like what you want honestly [18:35] pfifo: what is LFS?* [18:35] Rexter, meaning you execute the symlink [18:35] hm [18:35] supergauntlet, 1 second, getting a picture [18:35] is it a permissioning issue? [18:35] sarge1221: LFS is, linux from scratch, their website is http:/www.linuxfromscratch.org [18:35] sarge1221: it's another distro, unrelated to ubuntu [18:35] supergauntlet: I would prefer to remain away from ubuntu since i ran into strange issues using compiz. [18:36] sarge1221: you can use ubuntu without using compiz [18:36] and ubuntu minimal is basically debian unstable netinstall with upstart and ppas [18:36] supergauntlet: would boot up firefox missing close window buttons and was prone ot crash often, I tried to install something else besides compiz and it just made me boot into terminal base. [18:36] What should I add in the command field in the custom keyboard shortcuts? [18:37] vortex_ape: what command you want it to perform or program you want it to execute when you issue that command [18:37] vortex_ape: for instance, gnome-terminal [18:37] pfifo: thank you. I'll check them out. :) [18:37] would open a terminal (assuming you're using gnome, etc) [18:38] ctrl+alt+t [18:38] for konsole [18:39] you ought to just be able to write konsole there, and then have it do it's thing when you execute it. [18:39] hm [18:39] if that's not working, then we'll try a couple of tests, and give that a shot [18:39] my usual go-to test is eog [18:40] 'cause I've never had that program not work [18:40] but whatever the kde equivalent is [18:40] jmgk: do you have a question? [18:40] i got the upgrade notificaion from 13.04 to 13.10 earlier, and began it.. but my power flipped and I lost it... i tried sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to get it back and i didn't get the upgrade i was looking for, how do I restart the upgrade? [18:40] hi all, anyone here using an ups? what appllication do you use to controle it [18:41] whoever: the webinterface of the APS UPS. [18:42] sarge1221: maybe you should try ubuntu server ... it's effectively just a console install ... you can even install a minimal system with it. [18:43] whoever: nut [18:43] hitsujiTMO: Tried server edition and it did work pretty well but that was during gnome 2 days and all this crazy outlandish nonsense going on nowadays. Thanks for the advice anyways though. [18:43] supergauntlet, after choosing "Install Ubuntu inside Windows 7" within a few secs, it said "Please remove installation media and close tray (if any) then press ENTER" (I did, and the computer just restarted, and I am back where I started, no ubuntu, windows 7 not starting) [18:43] hitsujiTMO: before* [18:44] well shit. [18:44] sarge1221: maybe you should be asking this question in ##linux [18:44] supergauntlet, no hope? [18:44] any donwside using ubuntu server with win7 using wmware player? [18:44] jetro__: I don't think so [18:44] parduse: hmm? [18:44] what are you trying to do? [18:44] hitsujiTMO: maybe there should be a readme on general linux education. Wouldn't that be nice to have in all those outdated and poorly written man pages? :P [18:44] parduse: it takes up space, and ram and uses your cpu? [18:45] i am thinking of using them at the same time on a server pc [18:45] parduse: okay, so what would be the host? [18:45] win7 [18:45] reisio: ok , i just ran across apcupsd, i assume nut is more general(not specific to one brand) does not have a gui (just for s&gs , i know i don't need one ) but notification like libpopup [18:45] parduse: i mean it'd work [18:46] i think my old pc with 1gb ram and a sempron 1700 cpu will handle it [18:46] do i need to sudo apt-get that, linuxtech?

[18:59] Hi, I just upgraded to 13.10 and have a Radeon card. I tried going to Settings -> Details and it says "Graphics: VESA" but in my xorg.conf it says to use fglrx. Could it be that the Settings page is wrong? Or is my xorg.conf not working? [18:59] presonic, you have to run a update on a fresh install to sync the repos anyway. [18:59] streulma: You can have both. Probably easiest to do the install in your native language. [19:00] streulma: The actual code within the binaries is the same, but output selects from different libraries for different languages, so you can set a different language for just one command if you want. [19:00] I'm having issues with my mouse. I upgraded to 13.04 from 12.10, and installed Steam and TF2 shortly afterwards. Ever since I launched TF2, my USB mouse stopped working. [19:01] lasindi: run: fglrxinfo [19:01] Dysfucction: Have you shut down steam and TF2? [19:01] lasindi: It probably means it tried to load fglrx, but failed to get it to work with your graphics card, and reverted to VESA which is pretty safe. If this is the case, /var/log/Xorg.0.log should contain clues about it [19:01] Yes. [19:01] Dysfucction: Have you rebooted? [19:02] Yes.

The size of UPS you get will depend on the power requirements of the server, and how long the power is usually out for. [19:16] paulgureghian: No. The Ubuntu installer when booting the ubuntu installation cd will do it for you if you tell it to do so.

[19:46] high_fiver, 10 minutes [19:46] once you install squid proxy then enable a full resource set, after this is done tell the client pc to use a proxy and your away to the races [19:47] Hello, would anyone be able to point me to the right channel to ask a question about c++ coding on ubuntu?

Because, if I can do that on Ubuntu just like I could on Windows, that would be great.

[20:29] lululaplap_, I never do upgrades myself so I can only google for answers. [20:29] in older versions, it was called gnome-fallback. it is a more gnome-2 like desktop [20:29] cucujoidea: ah [20:29] reisio: do you have to install a dos wget? [20:29] is it possible to turn off hard drive?

[20:31] Munapaa, The easy way is to just use their browser. [20:31] reisio, internal sata drive [20:31] I have already installed tor browser, but it cant load any pages [20:31] loa: yeah, sdparm, or even hdparm [20:31] it is little noisy [20:31] loa: :) [20:31] so i want to turn it off [20:32] I tried to get some help from tor-irc, but its too silent in there [20:32] #list [20:32] Munapaa: Should make sure tor is running and connected to the network. [20:32] Munapaa, tor has two parts I forget their names, make sure all of tor shuts off when you close it. [20:33] wilee-nilee: you mean vidalia? [20:33] yeah [20:33] I think [20:33] I never use tor [20:34] Can I replace some free space from one ntfs disc to another ntfs with gparted? [20:34] Yep, its kinda slow, when it works [20:34] I mean resize two partitions [20:35] soman, you can resize yes, any OS involved?

[20:36] wilee-nilee: what do you mean? There is Win used but I want to use ubuntu live cd with gparted [20:36] by turning off I mean spinning down! [20:36] Hey! It started workin when I restarted it :) [20:36] thanks anyway [20:36] wilee-nilee: you don't do upgrades yourself? :P === _gcx is now known as gcx [20:36] soman, does either ntfs you want to resize have windows on it? [20:37] Calinou, No all fresh installs much faster and a fresh OS. [20:37] wilee-nilee: yes, one of partitions has win installed [20:37] i cant use clusterSSH from CLI on ssh Server ? [20:37] soman, Use the windows partitioner then to resize it. [20:37] Calinou: ok, I wasn't sure if there was a distinction, i'm guessing that the parm commands probably do this manually then [20:37] soman, What windows release is it? [20:37] wilee-nilee: win 7 [20:38] wilee-nilee: ah, ok, I do that too on my desktop. but last time I upgraded on my netbook and it works fine :) [20:38] soman, W7 has a partitioner use it to resize itself you can do it from admin live, much safer. [20:38] wilee-nilee: built-in partitioner? === Maple__ is now known as Guest45055 [20:39] Calinou, upgrade here take about 3-4 hours a fresh install with a saved app list and sources and keys less than an hour and I have a frsh OS.

Is there another possibility to use gnome flashback ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME_Flashback ) with xscreensaver? [20:40] cucujoidea: I'd use Xfce [20:40] soman, Yes windows has a disk management a partitioner. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/gg309170.aspx [20:41] reisi, ty for the response. I was away. Tell me pls, i just download the game.zip and put it in the dosbox folder? [20:41] ultim8: you can put it most anyplace [20:41] it's sensible to put it into a folder just for dosbox data, though [20:41] hello [20:41] reisio: but with gnome i also have ibus which afaik not working in xfce [20:41] soman, gparted is great, however it will move stuff locked in a windows install partition that can end up bricking it on occasions, much safer to use the windows app. [20:41] reisi, how can i know where is my dosbox folder? what's the cmd in terminal? Soz, newbie) [20:42] streulma: got this: from apt-get -f install http://paste.ubuntu.com/6266239/ by the way My ubuntu is in spanish :) [20:42] cucujoidea: what do you use ibus for?

[20:42] ultim8: there's no dedicated folder for game data, you can put it anywhere [20:42] eg: LANG=C sudo apt-get update [20:42] ultim8: r-e-i-TAB [20:42] reisio: for instance, inputting vietnamese letters [20:43] cucujoidea: what, in a term? [20:43] soman, MOst of all you should have a image/clone of windows as a backup. [20:43] to set it back, you use LANG=your_language_code, or you close and re open terminal [20:43] so.... i'm using 12.04..... been taking another stab at getting my HDMI port on my optimus based dell laptop to work..... 8 hrs of fail....... I just want to use the hdmi port so I don't have to use the mini-display port adapter... anyone ever been successul at that without the use of bumblebee? [20:43] calinou: ok, thanks ;) [20:43] reisio, soz, didn't get u. [20:44] reisio: characters like ê, ệ, â etc. [20:44] Crazyzurfer: np :) === dv__ is now known as dv_ [20:44] Hijacked [20:45] Is there a gnome extension where I can click on a file and get its full path, so I could just cut and past it [20:45] ultim8: type 'r', then 'e', then 'i', then hit TAB [20:45] FijiFresh: I'm sure you could make a script for that and add it to the right-click menu [20:45] cucujoidea: those work fine in Xfce IME [20:46] reisio, where? [20:46] ultim8: right here [20:46] Munapaa, I just loaded TOR today. What king of problem are you having? [20:46] FijiFresh: I'm in thunar, but when I copy a file and paste it into a text editor, it has path and filename [20:46] reisi, ? [20:47] how do i start a private chat window? [20:47] Blind1337nedm: /query nick [20:47] hmm Schrodinger, I shall try this [20:47] ultim8: r, e, i, tab [20:47] THANK YOU , reisio [20:48] reisio, i did it, nothing. [20:48] Thanks Schrodinger`Cat [20:48] FijiFresh: it's one of two options I thought would happen, option B was the binary data being thrown in there :3 [20:48] It worked [20:48] FijiFresh: cool, have fun [20:48] yay, finally got 13.10 installed [20:48] Hello, anyone know why pastebin interface is not showing up in Nautilus, I have tried completly removing it and configs, choosing dif setting, retarting nautilus, choosing diff pb server adressess? Any clue how i can figure out wtf is going on? [20:48] For years I did it a very slow way [20:48] o yea sorry on 13.04 x86_64 [20:49] FijiFresh: try opening a terminal, and running ls | xclip -selection clipboard [20:49] FijiFresh: with pwd, ls, and xclip, you could probably make it easier, depending on how many files you are working with [20:49] schoppenhauer: nb4! [20:49] :p [20:49] reisio: ? [20:49] SchrodingersScat, hey [20:50] Schrodinger`Cat: Gentlemen [20:50] what file am I editing when using crontab -e [20:50] as root [20:51] reisio: thx for taking time, bye [20:51] Schrodinger`Cat: you don't know if it's Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop or not until you look at it. [20:52] Facepalm: /var/spool/cron/crontabs [20:53] Facepalm: should only really add/remove crons by crontab -e when your logged into that users shell [20:53] Facepalm: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto [20:53] schoppenhauer: meant SchrodingersScat [20:54] ok [20:54] Facepalm: crontab -e copies the current crontab to somewhere in /tmp, then opens your favorite editor on that file. When you close the editor, it copies that eddited file back over the original.

[20:59] Roy_Ubuntu_13-04: full xorg.log might help [20:59] using Ubuntu 13.10, Apache2 and php5 where would a "500 internal server error" show up in logs? I've searched for it at /var/log/apache2/error.log but not sure where else to look. [20:59] sam113101: theres your answer [20:59] GZA-Genius: what? where? [20:59] sam113101: im gonna say u delted data in hidden directories in your home folder? [21:00] Should there be any difference in system files between a fresh install of 13.04 updated to 13.10 and a fresh install of 13.10? [21:00] sam113101: create a new user [21:00] GZA-Genius: I've had this folder for a long long time [21:00] where is the log [21:00] linuxlite1969: no offense, but if you aren't used to messing with your phone, are you sure that's the best place to start? [21:00] I've had it on OpenSUSE, even [21:00] kept the same [21:01] sam113101: well thats not very smart [21:01] Roy_Ubuntu_13-04: /var/log/Xorg.0.log [21:01] GZA-Genius: I just wanted to, you know, keep my 500 GB of videos at the same place, without having to get a second drive to do a backup [21:01] hi, does anybody know how to get to the reinstallation process? it is a laptop with an luks partition. i opened the partition with the files browser and then started the installation process but i have only the option to erase ubuntu, and for sure the other default options, i mean this way: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuReinstallation [21:01] linuxlite1969: does that even leave you with a functional phone? or are you not worried about that? [21:02] sam113101: saying your home folder is broken means nothing, im telling you what probably happened for a problem you have yet to say [21:02] SchrodingersScat: no offense taken, but i dont mind learning and have to start somewhere. not a big fan of my moto anyway and if i brick it, it gives me a reason to tell the lady i need a new one :) [21:02] sam113101: so if u want a answer better than that your gonna have to be more specific [21:03] i read a few pages where people have gotten a mostly functional phone out of it. with calls and messaging working. few bugs were upside down camera and video once in a while.

[21:07] sam113101: a tip for future to start clean, i know that does nothing for you now, but if i were you i would just create new name, move data, and wala [21:07] it will most probably not work in freebsd [21:07] GZA-Genius: but I want to keep some of those [21:08] ie. my zshrc file, weechat folder, vimrc, etc. [21:08] Unable to install Ubuntu 13.10 [21:08] GZA-Genius: can't pull things from skel?

[21:11] that kind of sucks, though, doesn't it? [21:11] I thought that was one of the purpose of having a seperate /home partition [21:11] sam113101: would you rather it work or be easy? [21:12] sam113101: please keep it family friendly in here. and no, its not a wonder, since its different distros and different config and application versions [21:12] sam113101: agreed^ [21:12] Roy_Ubuntu_13-04, devil__ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee [21:13] sam113101: that what i was trying to say [21:13] k1l_: You keep objecting to that word.

[21:18] hi, saucy seems to break the hdmi radeon audio? [21:18] RickyS_, change the mirrors. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/releases.ubuntu.spd.co.il-archive [21:18] i have radeon.audio=1 on the kernel cmdline [21:19] but nothing gets out and video/mkv play is fast-forward.

[21:19] k1l_: would I run into the same problems if I were to upgrade from ubuntu 13.04 to 13.10 without reinstalling (ie. using the updater)? [21:19] RickyS_, software sources [21:19] RickyS_, Make sure any 3rd party repos are off as well. [21:20] sam113101: no. in the upgrade process that is not a problem in most times [21:21] I've always been afraid that upgrading without reinstalling would break everything [21:21] because it did happen to me in the past [21:21] jhutchins: why would you want to automate anything after doing a debootstrap? That defeats the purpose of a debootstrap. [21:22] reisio, thanks alot, it fixed it :-) [21:22] sam113101: it's happened to me too, seems to have gotten a little better, still no warranty === l9_ is now known as l9 [21:22] sam113101: upgrades work in general. there can be some specific problems, but in general it works [21:22] Hello [21:22] reisio, chown'ing.:) [21:22] Sander^lap: /run/ stuff is usually just "temporary" files for keeping track of things [21:22] Mikey^: hi [21:22] ok [21:22] I upgraded from 13.04 to 13.10.

[21:30] FreezingCold: to download that kind of stuff, you need to find the URL of the video which is usually hidden inside the source of the page. you can view the source by pressing ctrl+u in most browsers... after having a look at this source, it appears it downloads a javascript, so in this case youll need to look at the source of the javascript that sets up the player to find your target URL.

[21:31] pfifo: You can also use some of the many tools to sniff your own network and feed it into something like curl or wget :3 but that is ssl and so it probably wouldn't work in this example :( [21:31] SchrodingersScat: thanks.

[21:34] SchrodingersScat: :O AMAZING!!! D: break out the CMI's and lets get retro [21:34] FreezingCold: if it's an rtmp stream then he's correct, you would need something like rtmpdump, which is normally more annoying. [21:34] okay, sagar [21:34] look at your desktop [21:34] is there a bar of icons to your left [21:35] or something similar to a start menu at the bottom?

[21:37] okk [21:37] anyways [21:37] FreezingCold: no you still need the magic rtmpdump syntax [21:37] click DASH HOME [21:37] but that's probably the path that will get you half way there [21:37] and type settings [21:38] yes i typed [21:38] actually [21:38] reisio: hold on [21:38] !manual [21:38] The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

[23:42] i miss putting the folder on my desktop [23:43] just for easy access its a pretty busy folder [23:43] Blind1337nedm: [23:43] Check /usr/share/xsessions [23:43] Pwnna, install mesa-utils, then give glxinfo [23:44] I have a high resolution screen. How do I increase the dpi of Ubuntu 13.10? [23:44] hm [23:44] 9.2.1 [23:44] Schalla: check it for what? [23:44] guest__: checked askubuntu.com yet? [23:44] https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70151 anyone know about this? [23:44] Pwnna, if you are using a open source driver, it will show the mesa version [23:44] guest__: i cant recall ever needing to mess with the dpi setting in years [23:44] Blind1337nedm: Take a look at it, it allows to edit the possible sessions [23:44] i'm not sure if my symptom matches that, but my bug got marked as a dup of that [23:45] guest__: http://askubuntu.com/questions/197828/how-to-find-and-change-the-screen-dpi [23:45] Blind1337nedm, you can drag any folder to your desktop, you did not try it ?

Let me check the install. [23:45] OerHeks: of course i did! :P it doesnt let me [23:45] Dr_Willis: Everything is WAY to tiny on this laptop. [23:45] Freedesktop bug 70151 in Drivers/DRI/i965 "[snb blorp] GPU hang" [Normal,New] [23:45] guest__, maybe unity-tweak or ubuntu-tweak allows you to do that [23:46] guest__: I run things at the native res of the monitor with very few issues. [23:46] make your fonts bigger? ;) [23:46] koston: Which is the best of those tools, myunity, ubuntu-tweak, unity-tweak, etc? [23:46] Marlenee: then just use hardcopy [23:46] guest__: try them all.. they all differ in little ways [23:46] guest__, try them all and devide yourself [23:46] Alrighty then [23:46] ^ i agree with above [23:47] bbl.

[23:56] guest__: thats called a "kernel panic". Resolution: turn off your computer, wait 10s, turn it back on again. [23:56] guest__: BEFORE: [23:56] bekks: I turned it on and it has a little error in apprtcheckresume [23:56] Try to provide as much detailed information of what you can see, like taking a picture, etc. [23:56] I sent the error to canonical === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [23:57] guest__: thats good.
