[00:00] i have a problem on ubuntu 13.10 with my usb memory stick === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [00:01] hitsujiTMO, how do I do that? [00:01] dominic_: go on [00:01] everald: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UnityLaunchersAndDesktopFiles === sam113101 is now known as sam113101_afk [00:02] i transfer my movie on the stick but my tv doesnt see it never ever have problem with it before [00:02] hi! [00:02] * justaguy just configured a mail server using this tut https://library.linode.com/email/postfix/dovecot-mysql-debian-6-squeeze?format=print [00:02] but i have no idea how to make my thunderbird work with that \o/ [00:02] Anyone knows how? [00:03] heres what i tried: find /home/g2k /Music -iname "*.mp3" | xargs -0 mv -t /home/g2k/Desktop/Newf [00:03] pero: I would look through here. http://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/gmail [00:04] but it didnt move/copy them and it said filename too long [00:04] justaguy: from looking at that link it may not work for you. port 25 is blocked almost all isps [00:05] i'm hosting it on my VPS [00:05] who surely doesn't have it blocked [00:05] find /home/g2k/Music -name "*.mp3" -exec mv {} /home/g2k/Desktop/newf \; [00:05] g2k, just read the second link i pasted [00:05] Heylo. I upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10. I am getting a blue desktop. Any ideas on how I can get unity to function normally again? [00:06] dominic_: what is the movie format? [00:06] mp4 [00:06] hitsujiTMO: with port 25 blocked do you mean @ my server where the mailserv is hosted on on my home PC [00:06] justaguy: https://library.linode.com/email/postfix/dovecot-mysql-debian-6-squeeze?format=print#sph_testing-postfix requires you to connect to port 25 [00:07] justaguy: no, port 25 is usually blocked for outgoing connections to prevent spambots ... they usually only open it for their own smtp server only [00:07] dominic_: the tv sees mp4's usually? could it be corrupted? [00:07] it works in my computer [00:07] justaguy: yeah think Comcast blocks this I believe you can call and have them remove the block forget what they call it, SMTP passthrough or something [00:07] wilee-nilee, nothing - i'm trying in #ubuntu-unity [00:08] i did mailx myownmail@gmail.com on my server and i recieved the mail in my gmail inbox [00:08] server is in a datacenter btw [00:08] justaguy: I'm using AWS for hosting some stuff [00:08] ah right [00:08] i'm not an comcast customer, i'm a telenet customer (belgium) [00:08] justaguy: I'm a belgian (half) but in Chicago [00:09] justaguy: yes, the issue is nothing to do with your vps, its your isp. 99.9% of ISPs block port 25 for outgoing connections [00:09] I just hear ISPs in general block it, but since you've got the same type of cloud/data center based setup you're good [00:09] okay hitsujiTMO thanks for your help! [00:09] i found the problem the names file was .mp4.part i removed the last part and it works [00:10] dominic_: use nicks here, you can tab complete them. Something is up, it working on the computer does not mean the tv will see it is all. === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [00:11] dominic_: cool gj [00:11] pero,I tried it without the semicolon at the end and it seemed to work...yayfor me...lol [00:11] dominic_: a .part file is a partially downloaded file ... you may be missing some of the content [00:11] hitsujiTMO, thanks [00:12] wilee-nilee, thanks === ubuntu is now known as Guest25176 [00:12] ok i think that worked for me. [00:12] He. Can anyone tell me why when I try to install wine on ubuntu 13.10, it needs to remove 98% of my system? [00:13] Has anyome got flash to work in 12.04?? [00:13] thank you pero. [00:13] Strav: you fully updated, no funky repos? [00:13] Guest25176, i have [00:14] Guest25176: on 13.04 now but Flash hasn't generally been an issue can you describe the problem [00:14] np [00:15] pero, i did have to remove the semicolon at the end, i dont know why. [00:15] wilee-nilee: yes [00:15] wilee-nilee: no active ppas atm. [00:16] strav: what exact way are you installing wine? [00:16] Strav: can you run that install command and paste in what you are seeing? [00:17] pastebin* [00:17] hitsujiTMO: via apt-get (because it failed, I'm now trying wine 1.7 from the ppa) [00:17] wilee-nilee: just a sec, a removed a bunch of packages just to pin point what would the real conflict be [00:18] trying to install ubuntu on an old machine currently running XP, burned an ubuntu iso to dvd, opens fine on this win8 machine, appears blank on the xp machine, on bootup on the xp machine it says boot from DVD: but i cant press anything because the keyboard is USB [00:18] dont think its capable of booting from pen drives either [00:18] pero, are you running xubuntu 12.04 by any chance? [00:18] Richhh: USB keyboard shouldn't be an issue [00:19] no [00:19] well i tried enter, nothing happened [00:19] Richhh: is there a legacy usb option in your bios? [00:19] is it another key? [00:19] i will have to check [00:19] Richhh: nope enter will do it, or arrows, +1 hitsujiTMO [00:19] hello everyone [00:19] no response from pressing enter, it waited and then just went into xp [00:20] pero, oh, thats too bad i wanted to update xfce to the latest version [00:20] i remember this issue before, usb keyboards not working during bootup [00:20] hm [00:20] dont have any ps2 keyboards here [00:20] Richhh: it happens on occasion, try a different port too [00:20] ok [00:20] it's not been a common issue for me though and I've been on USB and lots of RF wireless stuff for a while [00:21] the wireless stuff can be difficult but still works [00:21] Richhh: are you sure Ubuntu is even a good choice hardware wise, you might try lubuntu or xubuntu, might be a pae kernel problem. [00:21] richhh turning on legacy usb usually presents usb keyboards as ps2 keyboards on some systems for such a problem [00:22] Richhh: a net install might be worth a try [00:23] Richhh, what is the model ? [00:23] sorry if you already answer that question but i just join [00:24] does anyone here run xubuntu 12.04? [00:25] g2k, ask the question and see if someone can help [00:25] g2k: just state rhe issue === sam113101_afk is now known as sam113101 [00:26] issue 1) how to find out what version of xfce im running [00:26] hello. I upgraded ubuntu from 12.04 to 12.10. [00:26] I hate 13.10 [00:27] I'm wondering why my entire desktop is blue. [00:27] !ot | sam113101 [00:27] sam113101: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [00:27] could someone please help me fix this? [00:27] help_me: details [00:27] !details help_me [00:27] sam113101: no one cares this is support [00:27] you guys have failed to help me [00:27] I did a sudo apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, apt-get dist-upgrade, then a sudo do-release upgrade [00:28] multiple times [00:28] help_me, http://askubuntu.com/questions/204744/12-10-blue-screen-desktop-bars-do-not-load [00:28] after going through the do-release upgrade, I selected the defaults for everything (N), and I don't have a desktop [00:28] easy way out is to reinstall the desktop package, that will rerun all the config [00:28] sam113101: help yourself don't blame others. [00:28] i changed all the boot devices to CDROM/DVD and it still didnt boot, same thing, said boot from CD/DVD: i pressed enter, nothing, eventually it booted xp, the BIOS supports booting from USB-FDD USB-ZIP, USB-CDROM, USB-HDD - apparently not USB pen drive [00:29] sam113101: what issues are you having with 13.10? [00:29] wilee-nilee: what does it even mean [00:29] unless thats USB-HDD [00:29] but it isnt [00:29] I've read that croniksoft, I am unable to fix it using that tutorial. [00:29] coolstar: Nothing works correctly until I log out and log back in [00:29] Can anyone tell me why this file is blank if I open through terminal? I enter sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and the page is blank. I can go to through the file manager and it opens with the contents but its read only [00:30] how do I re-install the desktop croniksoft? [00:30] Richhh: there is a per-session boot not in the bios, find the key press to bring it up. [00:30] I re-installed the unity-desktop package, [00:30] sam113101: ah, that's most likely an issue with Unity [00:30] but that didn't help [00:30] ok [00:30] sam113101: you could try out an alternate DE and see how it works out for you (like KDE or Xfce) [00:30] help_me, run : "sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop" from cli [00:30] coolstar: and where am I supposed to get help with unity? [00:30] ctl-alt-f1 @ croniksoft? [00:30] sam113101: here. Unity is Ubuntu's DE [00:30] help_me: is that even in the repos? [00:30] it is. [00:31] ah right Rich [00:31] sam113101: KDE and Xfce are in Kubuntu and Xubuntu respectively [00:31] ok... be back soon (I hope) [00:31] Richhh: if you don't see the grub menu it's just not seeing the CD as bootable [00:31] coolstar: I don't really want to use something else [00:31] help_me, yea, that will drop you to shell [00:31] I personally quite like using KDE (switched when 11.04 was released) [00:31] unity was alright on ubuntu 13.04 [00:31] but they broke it [00:31] try pinging google.com just to make sure you have internet [00:31] !find croniksoft [00:31] Package/file croniksoft does not exist in saucy [00:31] sam113101: then downgrade and wait for 14.04? [00:31] KDE4Life [00:32] help_me: what repo, not saucies? [00:32] !find ubuntu-desktop [00:32] Found: ubuntu-desktop, edubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop, lubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop [00:32] sam113101: or upgrade to 13.10 [00:32] Anyone??? [00:32] !find ubuntu-desktop [00:32] Ari-Yang: I'm on it [00:32] help_me, [00:32] and it's buggy [00:32] he a user nick doh [00:33] !break [00:33] sam113101: it's been out for 3 days right, how long were XBox 360s buggy for? If you upgrade relatively early you have to kind of expect some problems [00:33] that didn't help at all [00:34] I still have a blue desktop screen [00:34] ok guys, thanks for the help. ttyl8r :) [00:34] wafflejock_: never had one [00:34] sam113101, did you upgrade an EC2 amazon cloud image ? [00:34] sam113101: good decision [00:34] having trouble finding the per session boot key prompt, apparently its not f12 [00:34] OerHeks: NO? [00:35] Richhh: maybe F10 or F9 or Del it varies [00:35] why [00:35] Richhh: or esc [00:35] sam113101, because you are connected now tru amazon ec2 [00:35] is there a way to find out what pacakges are at fault when I get the "An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade." error from do-release-upgrade ? [00:35] OerHeks: my bouncer is there, and it's running ubuntu too [00:36] ok [00:37] is fstab file present in live cd ? [00:39] anyone have any ideas for a built in laptop mic that is not working. I have ran through some basic ts that I have found online. Mic is not muted. I cant change the alsa-base.conf Anything else to look @? [00:41] coolstar: where can I get ubuntu 13.04? [00:41] So, having trouble with natural scrolling on 13.10... Any suggestions for getting it to work with my trackpad, but not my mouse? [00:41] sam113101: http://releases.ubuntu.com/raring/ [00:42] sam113101, what are you running right now? [00:42] I just mounted an iso (virtually). However, I can't seem to cd into the "cd", I can't find it any where. Do I have to change the mount point? [00:42] aaron_: 13.10 [00:43] jetro: how exactly did you mount the cd? [00:43] sam113101, oh, i dont know how to revert other than downloading/installing 13.04 on top of the current [00:44] i am not sure [00:44] that's what I'm going to end up doing [00:45] hitsujiTMO, I downloaded an iso file, and it came with a bash script for mounting the cd [00:45] so anyone have any ideas on the mic issue? [00:45] jetro: open the bash script with an editor to find the mount point [00:45] hello [00:46] or perhaps type 'mount' in a terminal ;) [00:46] hitsujiTMO, ahhh got it, I see it now, thanks! [00:48] so just have i changed the ubuntu.vdi into ubuntu1.vdi in virtualbox, ubuntu boots and acts very slowly, i have defraged the HDD, no fix, any ideas [00:48] ubuntu 13.04 best ubuntu [00:48] don't know why it's not LTS [00:49] hitsujiTMO wafflejock_ still no luck, tried all f keys, del (goes to vanilla bios options), mashing every key [00:49] hello helps me [00:49] ihelp [00:49] Richhh: well honestly since it says it's checking the CD I think it's just not seeing it as bootable... [00:50] Richhh: not sure why that would be though [00:50] please someone help me [00:50] !patience | uvin [00:50] uvin: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ [00:50] uvin: how is it slow? visually slow, using htop or system monitor give any clues? [00:51] uvin: if you suspect HDD activity iotop may help to find the offending process [00:51] uvin .. defragged ? is that vdi on an NTFS partition? [00:52] uvin: you can also use kdirstat to see a nice breakdown of your disk usage possibly something buggy writing to a log or something http://kdirstat.sourceforge.net/ [00:52] ok [00:52] I can't log into ubuntu, it gives me a error about power management configurations being incorrect. I had another weird error before this. Can someone please help [00:53] it boots slowly showing a black screen for 30 seconds or so then it boots, then i hear the login sound first, after one second i see the login screen, it s usually like the other way around , first see screen then sound, [00:53] Richhh: if you see checking CD/DVD after that you should get the Menu if not and it goes right to windows it doesn't see the CD/DVD as bootable, if you get to the menu and can't use the keyboard it'll be another issue [00:54] uvin, what processor do you have? [00:54] and after i input pass, the desktop is showing slowly, waiting several seconds, i see it showing [00:54] how can I check how much free space I have on my ubuntu? I check the tmp folder free space and it says 4gb but that shows even if the disk is about empty I'm running live version... [00:55] i3 2100 [00:55] I dont know if this matters or helps anything....but why is that when im in the alsamixer that my function keys work outside the mixer? They dont affect the mixer itself? [00:55] Patero-ng: http://kdirstat.sourceforge.net/ <- this is nice [00:55] how much ram uvin? [00:55] df -h [00:55] is it possible for nautilus to show the found files while still searching? [00:56] 768M [00:56] ok wafflejock_, i just recall the 'boot from CDROM/DVD:' being a prompt that you had to confirm with enter, and it seems not to respond to that [00:56] I can't log into ubuntu, it gives me a error about power management configurations being incorrect. I had another weird error before this. Can someone please help [00:56] Richhh: with windows it has that prompt I don't think so for Linux I think that's just your BIOS message [00:56] uvin, you do not have enough ram to be running virtual machines [00:57] it's good usually, just after i changed ubuntu.vdi into ubuntu1.vdi [00:57] ok, best course of action, burn another dvd and try that? [00:57] it's running well usually, have 300M free memory [00:58] i suppose i could try booting on this machine instead, its not going to wipe anything, right? [00:58] Richhh: I suppose so check the MD5 on the ISO to be sure the download went good [00:58] Richhh: yeah [00:58] ok will try here [00:58] Hey guys, How do i set Shotwell Veiwer as my default image veiwer?? i can't find the enty for it Details. or in The OpenWith menus. :/ [00:58] Richhh: it'll give the option for livecd or install [00:58] 13.10 [00:58] Richhh: a few steps before touching the hard drive in any case [00:58] ok [00:59] Matthew_Moore, Go to system settings/details [00:59] aaron: Yes i did that. it's not in there on My 13.10 install. [00:59] Matthew_Moore, there is a default applications option there [00:59] hitsujiTMO what is uvin? [00:59] you guys are lacking experience i shall ask in debian [00:59] thanks for help thus far [00:59] Matthew_Moore, Hmmm........... [01:00] when i select an image file and go to Open With it's not in there either. [01:00] uvin: good luck [01:00] i can right click and open with shotwell veiwer. but i have no option to make it the dedault [01:00] Richhh: no problem [01:00] Matthew_Moore, if its not there then im not sure how to correct that and get it there. I am running 13.10 and thats where its located [01:00] Richhh: thanks for your patience [01:01] Matthew_Moore: Normally you can specific the binary you want to open it by default with. [01:01] rypervenche: yes i know that. but shotwell veiwer is not an option in an of the dialog menues [01:01] Matthew_Moore: So use the full path to the binary? [01:02] Patero-ng: a user ;) [01:03] Matthew_Moore: For example, in Xfce, you can choose a program from a list or you can give a custom command to run. That's where you'd type /usr/bin/shotwell [01:03] Matthew_Moore: I would imagine your DE has something similar. [01:04] hitsujiTMO lol [01:04] rypervenche: i know. i don't see a way to do that. :( [01:04] Not through nautilus anyways. [01:05] Matthew_Moore, shotwell is available in system settings > details > default applications [01:05] Matthew_Moore, http://www.howtogeek.com/117709/how-to-change-your-default-applications-on-ubuntu-4-ways/ [01:06] OerHeks: shotwell and shotwell veiwer are not the same thing. Shotwell veiwer is not in there [01:06] Matthew_Moore: http://ryp.io/1V read For 11.10 and newer: [01:06] Matthew_Moore: So find the binary for shotwell viewer then. [01:07] I can't log into ubuntu, it gives me a error about power management configurations being incorrect. I had another weird error before this. Can someone please help [01:07] how do i set it? i have no option to modify the path in nautilus [01:07] Matthew_Moore: dpkg -L shotwell | grep bin (to find the viewer's name) [01:07] Matthew_Moore: What version of Ubuntu are you on? [01:07] 13.10 [01:08] yowl: sorry not sure where to start, did you change any ACPI settings in the BIOS or install something new? [01:08] hey if i compiled WINE from source (and i have wine ppa on repo) if theres a system update would it overwrite the WINE i compiled? [01:08] that command didnt work [01:08] wafflejock_, No [01:09] Does natural scrolling not exist on 13.10? [01:09] yowl: how far do you get, does it boot all the way to a login then fail? [01:09] yowl can you provide the exact error? [01:09] hitsujiTMO: +1 beat me to it :) [01:09] Matthew_Moore: Try this: mimeopen -d filename [01:11] does anyone know if ubuntu touch can run cron? [01:11] cjb_: try #ubuntu-touch [01:11] wafflejock_, hitsujiTMO Well first earlier when i tried logging off I got a error message, (took a picture of the screen)then it was good for awhile. Then when I was using it, tomboy wouldn't load, and then even firefox wouldn't load. So I rebooted. Now it will go through the reboot process a ways, I will see a bunch of messages wiz by, then it will send me to the login screen, for typing in my user name and password [01:11] Matthew_Moore, shotwell and shotwell photoviewer are the same. [01:12] hitsujiTMO, I don't remember the exact error, and I can't simply check since I am using the same PC running from a flash drive [01:13] OerHeks: no they are not. if i open with SHotwell it just opens the entire program. not the veiwer. every vertion of Ubuntu before 13.10 had an option for the Veiwer. but not this one. [01:13] yowl, mount the hard drive and read the logs in /var/log? [01:14] right click on one of your image files and open with shotwell. and then find shotwell-Veiwer. you will see. not the same thing. [01:14] this natural scrolling issue is annoying me. [01:14] wylde, Can you narrow it down for me? There is alot in here [01:14] Matthew_Moore: do me a favor and type "dpkg -L shotwell | pastebinit" for me please [01:15] yowl, at what point do you get the error so? after you log in? [01:15] it just says The program 'pastebinit' can be found in the following packages: [01:15] * pastebinit [01:15] * pastebinit [01:15] Matthew_Moore: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:15] yowl, can you also show us the screenshot? [01:16] hitsujiTMO, I never get to a desktop, and I had it set to autologin. So presumably this happens after login screen, since when I try to log in from there, the error comes back === sam113101 is now known as sam113101_afk [01:16] hitsujiTMO, It's on a camera who doesn't seem to want to get along with linux, and I don't have a card reader for SD [01:17] Matthew_Moore, yes it is. shotwell opens shotwell %U and shotwell-viewer opens shotwell %f [01:17] yowl, can you tell us the error message on the screenshot? [01:17] see > sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/shotwell-viewer.desktop && sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/shotwell.desktop [01:17] is there a way to find out what pacakges are at fault when I get the "An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade." error from do-release-upgrade? [01:18] ok but where is the entry for it in the details menu? or the Open With Menu? i had one in every other Version of Ubuntu i have used. [01:18] Anyone know about naturalscrolling? I can't seem to get the repo to work on 13.10.

What log file should I reference for to look for error messages of this latest issue? [01:31] yowl, Start with syslog I suppose. You'll probably find all the messages you mentioned that are in your picture in there. [01:31] wylde, What is a good site to host said syslog so you can see it?

[01:36] yowl never! [01:36] yowl, from what I've seen in here, hitsujiTMO will be far better equipped to help you than I. [01:36] not even in auth.log [01:37] yowl your passwords are never dumped to a log, noone would use an operating system that did this [01:38] hitsujiTMO, I have two textfile syslogs, syslog and syslog.1 and a syslog.2.gz to -syslog.7.gz, you want the plain syslog first?

[01:53] hitsujiTMO, 2 or 3 years maybe [01:54] Is there a safe way to "hack" natural scrolling to use on 13.10? [01:55] DerHeks:it starts. Though it started similar even when i was using terminal. I was just curious about the messages in terminal [01:55] ziber: user the link i provider earlier [01:55] hitsujiTMO: Already done. No change. [01:56] ++ [01:56] hitsujiTMO, So got any ideas? I don't think there is any problem with the drive itself [01:56] ziber: hmm, odd, whats the error you get with the package? [01:57] hitsujiTMO: Looking at the ppa site, it doesn't exist for saucy. [01:57] yowl, i'll need to look at other logs, such as boot.log or dmesg [01:57] exit [01:57] TheJoker, oke, so those messages do not contain important news, conky works and will give no trouble starting manually/or by adding it to startup aplications [01:57] close [01:57] Ziber: http://askubuntu.com/questions/362343/how-can-i-reverse-natural-scrolling-on-ubuntu-13-10 === sam113101_afk is now known as sam113101 [01:57] Ziber: I believe in 13.04 that's how I turned it off since I don't like "natural" scrollling [01:58] That checkbox seems to have no effect. [01:58] Is there a way that you can mount an ssh directory in the same fashion that one would do a cifs directory? Something like "mount -t sshfs user@server -o password=password,uid=1000" [01:58] Chrome still scrolls in reverse. [01:58] Thnx you all for help. You have been quite helpful. [01:58] !sshfs | James_Epp [01:58] James_Epp: sshfs is a !Fuse based filesystem which allows you to mount a remote system over !SSH - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS for instructions [01:58] Ziber: alternative here to use dconf-editor http://linuxg.net/how-to-enable-both-natural-scrolling-and-horizontal-scrolling-on-ubuntu-13-10-saucy-salamander-and-ubuntu-13-04-raring-ringtail/ [01:59] TheJoker, have fun [01:59] ziber, you will need to check for a driver for your touchpad more than likely [01:59] Thanks, wylde. I'll give it a shot! [02:00] James_Epp, Welcome [02:00] hitsujiTMO: The trackpad works as I want it to. It's just a matter of making the mouse scroll properly. [02:00] I switch back and forth. [02:01] hitsujiTMO, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6274165/ [02:02] hitsujiTMO, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6274171/ [02:02] That's why the naturalscrolling package is so great. Because it can enable "natural scrolling" for my trackpad, but disable for it my mouse. === sam113101 is now known as sam113101_afk === sam113101_afk is now known as sam113101 [02:05] hitsujiTMO, Got any ideas? [02:05] yowl, your boot.log is pointing to errors with /dev/sda2 [02:06] yowl can you umount /dev/sda2 and run: fsck /dev/sda2 [02:09] hitsujiTMO, It says it is busy so that I can't unmount it [02:09] hitsujiTMO, But I don't have any folders to it open or anything else that I can see [02:10] reboot to free it up [02:10] wylde: Doesn't work for my needs. Following the examples, my user has no permissions to the directory. As well, there is no option to set a password so that prompts are minimized. These are my two requirements, unfortunately :S [02:10] yowl wait [02:11] whats the output of: mount [02:12] hitsujiTMO, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6274215/ [02:12] James_Epp, alrighty, although the password issue can be fixed by using a key to login. 'ssh-copy-id remote.host' the other issue is permissions on the remote side. [02:13] wylde: First things first, how is that ssh copy id performed? [02:13] yowl: sda2 doesnt seem to be mounted, just run: fsck /dev/sda2 [02:14] James_Epp, example 'ssh-copy-id user@remote.host' or you can leave off 'user' to just use the current user [02:14] hitsujiTMO, /dev/sda2: 13162/3203072 files (0.4% non-contiguous), 12126475/12800000 blocks [02:15] wylde: ERROR: No identities found [02:15] James_Epp, it will ask you for the password for the remote host then future ssh logins won't require a password [02:15] I have natural scrolling back (backports, 12.10), but I lost the options for mouse, trackpad, etc... [02:15] James_Epp, then you need to generate a key. 'ssh-keygn' [02:15] :( [02:15] hitsujiTMO, But that partition is only used for storage, no system or program files on it [02:15] 'ssh-keygen' === jje is now known as Guest26017 [02:17] yowl both partitions are showing some errors early in boot, with /dev/sda1 being remounted, lets see if theres any logs in the smart: sudo apt-get install smartmontools [02:18] I have a ramdisk set up, as /tmp/ram/ , how can I have the contents save to my HDD on shutdown? [02:18] is there a 13.10 arm version of Ubuntu? [02:18] wylde: Alright. Got that worked out.

Moment. [02:20] Nothing_Much: yes but it needs to be built specific to the device [02:20] wylde: Thanks. [02:21] hitsujiTMO, Huh? [02:21] What do you mean built? [02:22] nothing not all arm devices have the same instruction sets, you need to compile each package from the kernel up for the specific arm processor [02:22] James_Epp, is this a chrooted fs on the remote side? [02:22] wylde: No. [02:23] hitsujiTMO, now what? [02:23] Nothing_Much: canonical support a small number of devices directly: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/arm [02:24] on xubuntu 13.04 when i try to log in with any de or window manager i get a black screen then i get kicked back to the login manager. tried gdm and it hangs at a blue screen with the progress circle spinning with no login window ever appearing. tried purging nvidia-325 drivers with no difference in results. how do i fix tihs? [02:24] hi - stuck at phase 1. ubuntu server 32bit . chose a language and now hanging. (celeron 1.7 with 512mb). any suggenstions how to start?? [02:24] yowl: sudo smartctl -a -d ata /dev/sda === KindOne- is now known as KindOne [02:25] hitsujiTMO, Oh okay, so how do I get it to compile on a different device? [02:25] James_Epp, hrmm. You should already have the correct permissions for the user you connect as. Although it's been a while since I've used sshfs it could boil down to mount options. [02:26] anyone?

[02:27] Installing win 7 and ubuntu. ...now I cant get duall [02:27] Sorry [02:27] audrey: Have you consulted #xubuntu ? I am sure they would know more about xfce issues than we would :S [02:27] just thought you guys should know how to fix it so when the next person with my problem shows up.

[02:28] You mean samsung? [02:28] yowl, hdd looks good [02:29] Now I cant get triple boot for 3 of them ....I have to change the drives for everytime I use win 7 and ubuntu or win8........is there anyway that my grub can take win 8 also so that I can run all of them without changing my drive preferences in the boot menu === KindOne- is now known as KindOne [02:29] Nothing_Much: yes if its a exynos processor. what device are you looking to run ubuntu on? [02:29] hitsujiTMO, I didn't figure otherwise [02:29] James_Epp, I'm at a loss at the moment. Perhaps some is a little more familiar with sshfs then I. (Still reading though) [02:30] yowl, needed to make sure tho [02:30] someone* [02:30] hitsujiTMO, How? [02:30] wylde: Don't worry about it. I have alternatives. [02:30] Just would have been preferred. [02:30] hitsujiTMO, Odroid-XU, I don't have it yet, but I just want clarification on how to install 13.10 or 14.04 (when it comes out) on it [02:30] hitsujiTMO, Not sure if related or not, but I got one small storage NTFS partition [02:31] James_Epp, alrighty. [02:31] wylde: I appreciate your efforts! [02:31] hitsujiTMO, I do believe you are barking up the wrong tree here, I go along to satisfy you so we can move on. If it is not the hard drive, got any other suggestions? [02:32] hitsujiTMO, I am willing to do more tests though [02:33] yowl, i'm not sure yest, go thru you logs and look for errors [02:33] yet* [02:33] Nothing_Much: http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=1983 looks like a good place to start on your search [02:34] hitsujiTMO, You need to be more specific [02:36] yowl, start with core logs: /var/log/dmesg would be my next place to look [02:36] hitsujiTMO, I showed you that log [02:36] hitsujiTMO, So basically I can't do a "do-release-upgrade"? [02:37] I have two hard drives.....1st hard drive - windows 7 and 2nd hard drive - ubuntu and windows 8...... I have installed windows 8 affer Now I cant get triple boot for 3 of them ....I have to change the drives for everytime I use win 7 and ubuntu or win8........is there anyway that my grub can take win 8 also so that I can run all of them without changing my drive preferences in the boot menu [02:37] Wth, I can't install things with sudo apt-get? [02:38] yowl, sorry your right i meant to say boot.log [02:38] hitsujiTMO, I showed you that too [02:39] ssj5goku: in the ubuntu booting hdd config, when you boot Ubuntu, have you updated your grub? [02:39] hitsujiTMO, And it is not very long, and I did not see anything I can point to [02:39] yowl, then i missed that link [02:39] .chogydan, no I dont know how to di that ...pls tell me... [02:40] ssj5goku: just: sudo update-grub [02:40] hitsujiTMO, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6274171/ [02:40] Nothing_Much: you cant do-release-upgrade, but you may be able to install apps with apt-get depending on if theres a central repo or not [02:40] U mean I have to type this in the terminal?? [02:41] ssj5goku: ye [02:41] hitsujiTMO, See anything in it? [02:41] Oh you've gotta be f'ing kidding me.. [02:41] Ok thanks.... [02:41] yowl, well you have Stopping automatic crash report generation[74G[[31mfail[39;49m] [02:42] hitsujiTMO, I don't know what that means though [02:43] yowl, issue with apport [02:43] How can you not upgrade your OS on Arm? [02:44] tried a third time now i am getting error : EUU : Error #$%$ reading sector 2#$952 (the $%^ is letters that are unclear in the installer) [02:44] hitsujiTMO, ? [02:45] ok, back about the mic issues again. I was able to access alsa-base.conf and add the line options snd-hda-intel model=auto enable=yes. Didnt fix anything, any ideas? [02:46] Nothing_Much: because its up to the manufacturer to provide repos/builds for that device, or community if the manufacturer doesn't, not canonical. which is extremely costly to do for a single device. === Guest64502 is now known as lighta-usb [02:46] What???! [02:47] I thought the Ubuntu base had its own repo for armel! [02:47] Like Debian, I think? [02:47] That's horrible! I can't believe Arm devices are so horribly fragmented like that. [02:48] they do for generic code, but not for kernel or drivers, which may not work between different releases [02:48] You've gotta be joking.. [02:48] I can't believe there's no proper alternative to x86 [02:49] The alternative died with the powermac :P [02:49] I think PowerPC heats up just as much as x86 does [02:50] But God, I just want to easily upgrade my computer without having to freakin' Flash a disk image to a card every time I need to upgrade something >:( [02:51] x86 and x64 are quite fragmented too, its just intel, amd and developer tool manufacturers do a fantastic job at hiding it when possible. its not so easy to do with arm [02:52] Bah [02:52] But then how the hell is it possible to do-release-upgrade on x86 so easily?? [02:53] Nothing_Much: what goes wrong on the arm? [02:53] Does anyone know how I can get the contents of my ram disk to save to a hardrisk on shutdown? [02:53] ChogyDan, I'm told that arm cannot handle a "do-release-upgrade" from one version to another. [02:54] That's horrifically bad when you can't even install an Armhf version of Ubuntu on a device [02:56] Nothing_Much: some will allow you to do a do-release-upgrade, if they are supported, but thats only ever going to be a handful. even canonical only support lts on the desktop versions of arm devices that they support [02:56] hitsujiTMO, Have you run out of ideas for me? [02:56] yowl, atm yes [02:57] Can anyone else help me with a login problem? [02:57] hitsujiTMO, How do a revert to a earlier state? [02:57] yowl: just state your question, and maybe someone can help [02:58] ChogyDan, I am unable to log in, it is not a question, but a thorny problem [02:58] yowl : does your user have a home directory owned by it ? [02:58] ChogyDan, One that can not be described in a line or two === Rav3nSw0rd is now known as Rav3n [02:58] :/ [02:59] Electron_ I don't know what you mean [02:59] Nothing_Much: the problem with arm, is that anyone can make an arm processor, they can pick and choose what instructions they want, and they have have some wiggle in the way they can slip away from the spec to suit their needs. [02:59] if you made the home directory from root you have to chown it too [02:59] hello evry body [02:59] yowl : hmm why dont you try making a new user [03:00] electron__, OK, but I will need to leave here to try [03:00] i have a problem with my usb headphones when i want to control it from its buttons the system bug and it freeze and nothin work [03:00] but when i deplug it [03:00] it return normal [03:00] any help please [03:00] the_illusionist: see if there are any errors reported in dmesg [03:00] yowl : okay ... if new user works fine then somthing is messed up with that user ; else its to do with the DM [03:02] heres a weird bug [03:02] Gnome 3 Classic in 12.04 [03:02] er 12.10 [03:02] is causing my friends laptop screen brightness to flux dark/light, over nd over [03:02] Has anyone experienced reverse mouse scrolling in 13.10? [03:03] perf samples too long (5001 > 5000), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 25000 [03:04] the_illusionist: have these headphones ever worked? Are they known to work on ubuntu? [03:05] yes it [03:05] works [03:05] only [03:05] when i use the buttons on the headphones to control it === Jan11 is now known as ON1 [03:05] it causes troubles [03:06] nothin else [03:06] !enter | the_illusionist [03:06] the_illusionist: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line.

Anyway, I get that it is the buttons, but they don't work for anyone, it is better to file a bug report [03:09] Bitgod: try a later release [03:09] the problem this bug it causes nothin only the mouse dont work on clicking and the keybord on touching [03:10] the_illusionist: *if they don't work for anyone, it is better to file a bug.. [03:10] ok [03:10] thks any way [03:14] Bitgod: try a later release [03:14] of what?

Ive never seen such headphones. but saw someone else asking a similer question a week or so ago.

[03:49] lotuspsychje, eol [03:49] !lts [03:49] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) [03:49] 14.04 is the next lts release i belive [03:50] i just like 13.04 speed and stability i would rather use it little longer [03:50] lotuspsychje, releases are or are not LTS. They don't change after release. 12.04 is current. 14.04 (tahr) is next. All other releases are (functionally) beta [03:50] ic [03:50] use it as long as you want. ;) just dont expect security updates after its eol. [03:50] lotuspsychje, 9 months and done. That's the deal.

[03:51] lotuspsychje, 13.10 has a lot of unity improvements [03:51] ruairi_: boot a live usb, chroot in, set the passwords for the users as you want [03:51] lotuspsychje, 12.04 is LTS or wait for 14.04 [03:51] OerHeks: do you find it as fast and stable as 13.04? [03:51] 13.10 definatly has a lot of improvements that are not all that noticeable. ;) [03:52] Dr_Willis, What are the major ones? [03:52] lotuspsychje, much more. one down point: nautilus is worse. [03:52] ok tnx for info guys [03:52] OerHeks: worse in wich way? [03:52] less options [03:52] I installed linux mint after ubuntu, but it seems to have taken over my grub set up [03:52] how do I get back the ubuntu grub? [03:53] OerHeks: thank you [03:53] !grub|mikolaj, [03:53] mikolaj,: 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 [03:53] mikolaj: boot the other os. rerun its update-grub [03:54] gnome devs like to remove more and more nautilus features with each improvement. ;) [03:54] Dr_Willis: will that reinstall to the mbr, too? [03:54] the main gnome guy quit and switched to Mac OS :p [03:54] update-grub should put that os's grub onto the mbr [03:54] so sudo update-grub? [03:55] Dr_Willis: really... [03:55] Dr_Willis: you are on xubuntu 13.10 right? [03:55] ok rebooting hope this worked [03:55] reisio: ive always had to make sure that differnt ubuntu installs dont fight over grub. ;) had to make sure that my main install always did grub. === vemacs is now known as vemacs|ded [03:56] I think theres a way to make the other installs put grub on the partion, not the mbr and chain load. but i havent messed with that in ages [03:56] lotuspsychje, but this ppa will add more than you need > https://launchpad.net/~nae-team/+archive/ppa nautilus scripts [03:56] lotuspsychje: on xubuntu right now. yep. [03:56] sure you don't have to run grub-install? [03:56] Why would we put multiple OS's on a machine? should ONE grub handle all the OS's? [03:56] Dr_Willis: hows the overal speed on there? [03:56] cfhowlett: silly reasons / yes [03:56] lotuspsychje: runs fine on my low end netbook. ;) [03:57] OerHeks: tnx i will see after install, if they did not remove 'detele to trash' and unrar here, ill be fine :p [03:57] Dr_Willis: tnx for feedback [03:57] ok back.. it didn't work [03:57] mikolaj: might need 'grub-install' like reisio suggested. [03:58] mikolaj: if you have one disk, probably sudo grub-install /dev/sda [03:59] hey guys I have ubuntu it takes up my full hard drive what would be the safest way to install windows [03:59] I have a gparted CD [03:59] niel: resize leaving a large bit of space unlocatted and hope the windows installer is smart enough to use it. ;) [04:00] niel: make backups first. [04:00] so its like sketchy? [04:00] niel, plan to reinstall and fix grub after installing windows. [04:00] niel, windows doesn't play nice with other OS [04:00] can I assign it to a partition? [04:00] niel: depends on if your windows install disk is an actual 'installer' disk. or just a system-restore disk that restores an image.. also [04:00] or is it like a pain [04:01] niel: its a pain. and yes you should be able to sssign it. #windows would know more [04:01] and the winderps ISO is going to take 2 hours to download [04:01] plus we dont know what windows version you are talking about. ;) [04:01] 7 :P [04:01] 8 is crap === The_Acid_Toy is now known as Neytiri === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [04:02] people said the same thing about xp, and me, and 7 and.... [04:02] lol [04:02] well they all suck [04:02] 'we want somthing differnt but totally identical to what we have! so we can say theres no improvements' [04:02] niel: loose windows once and for good and clean install ubuntu on whole hd [04:02] 7 just does not suck as much [04:02] Hello! [04:02] Hello World! [04:02] ug I have so much stuff [04:03] charTay, greetings [04:03] now lets say it installs nicly [04:03] what will happen when I boot? [04:03] niel, windows will overwrite grub. grub won't load. you'll only see windows [04:04] well this cant go well === Jan11 is now known as ON1 === sins-_i is now known as sins- [04:04] niel, as I said, you'll need to reinstall grub. easy [04:04] this is why we have a !fixgrub factoid [04:04] how is that done?

YES it will boot windows. sorry for confusion [04:06] ok I get it but I have to boot the live CD every time I want to change an OS? [04:06] is ubuntu studio kde or gnome?

[04:07] hiseed78, xfce-xubuntu AFAIK [04:08] I wonder can I password protect my partition and reject windows from taking it? [04:08] niel: yes thats a rather core feature of grub - to boot other os's [04:08] You cant keep windows from installing over the mbr as far as i know. [04:08] hey [04:09] but #windows may know if the installer has options [04:09] Dr_Willis, if there's a way, it's completely obfuscated to the general user ... [04:09] not that I have heard of [04:09] windows is out for blood [04:09] Jeffrey, greetings [04:09] im a little scured [04:09] cfhowlett: and even the advanced ones.

For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity [04:10] this should be fun then [04:10] I am really bad with paritions and crap [04:10] niel, at worst, you lose the grub boot. the data and the OS are still on the system. Trust me; I broke grub at least 20 times putting together a triple boot machine. [04:10] but I wont be able to fix it o.o [04:10] !nounity [04:10] Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 an up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [04:10] niel, of course you will. [04:10] niel, people break and fix grub all the time [04:10] 13.10 has gnome-shell with the official gnome-2 look thang from gnome-3.8 :) [04:11] you dont know me I break everything so badly [04:11] when I first installed ubuntu I made the parition to big killing windows === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [04:11] PLEASE HELP: I need your help please.

[04:12] niel, exactomundo [04:12] nthe boot cd installs the OS. the OS then uses grubg to boot the other os's [04:12] If you cant tell im a little skeptical [04:13] Please help me with my login problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/6274581/ [04:13] make a backup usb flash drive that has boot-repair, perhaps..

[04:14] there exists boot-repair live cd's and yu can easially make a live-usb of the boot-repair iso disks..

[04:23] I know how to install java on everything from terminal but not sure how to transfer files onto it since I do quite often [04:23] yowl, don; t waste your time fixing that old unsupported version [04:23] I [04:23] OerHeks, I need to get into it to replace it [04:24] a live cd or usb can do that [04:24] Dr_Willis: could you please help me on this please?

[04:25] Dr_Willis, But I also need to make sure everything else carries over too, and I only have one usb flash drivre, and this one has a old version too I can't put a new version on it and use it as the OS at the same time [04:25] Dr_Willis, what does your using defaults have to do with any of this? [04:26] rostam, pretty sophisticated installation procedure. most of us are desktop users. perhaps the #ubuntu-server folks can help with such higher-order thinking [04:26] yowl: perhaps use a live-cd then [04:26] rostam, if you're installing from USB media (put the preconfiguration file in the toplevel directory of the USB stick): >> https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/i386/preseed-using.html [04:27] I need to turn that off ubuntu experiences an internal error like every hour lol [04:27] dr [04:27] OerHeks, well are you able to help me with this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/6274588/ [04:27] anyone running from virtual box?

DONT use windows hibernate/supend feature if you want to access the window disks from linux [04:29] oh wait [04:29] ssj5goku1, Is windows off or in hibernate? [04:29] im just a total derp [04:29] ignore me [04:29] yowl, download a fresh ubuntu on the machine you are on now, boot it in live mode and backup your data and do a fresh install [04:29] the error message even says to dont use hibernate/suspend. :) [04:29] wilee-nilee: i dont know...how can i figure that out?? [04:30] OerHeks, so can yhou [04:30] niel, consider it done, lol [04:30] OerHeks, so can you help? [04:30] ssj5goku1: tell windows to power down/shutdown. not suspend [04:30] lol [04:30] ssj5goku1, You don't know, we ned some context please. [04:30] need* [04:31] yowl notr really, i can't find the cause of your issue in your logs. [04:31] OerHeks, How do I revert to a earlier state? [04:31] meditation [04:31] LOLOLO! [04:32] LOL! [04:32] wilee-nilee, but inaccurate. meditation leads to a *higher* state not an earlier state. [04:32] yowl you could try to boot in recovery mode, hold shift @ boot to enter grub menu [04:32] yaa i always shut it down.... [04:32] sometimes an earlier state is a higher state, grasshopper [04:33] ;) [04:33] wilee-nilee, hai sensei! [04:33] then ssave your data and do a fresh install [04:34] OerHeks, and the option to choose a earlier state would be there? [04:34] I just came from a book reading from a Buddhist, lol can't rinse it off [04:36] OerHeks, and the option to choose a earlier state would be there? === niel is now known as niel1 [04:36] I fixed my issue by upgrading from ubuntu 12.10 to ubuntu 13.04 and installing the package maintainer's versions (all) [04:36] ok i have recently installed windows 8 and i previously had windows 7 and ubuntu.....i installed win 8 in another drive so i got no problems with the grub and i just updated the grub in order to show the windows 8 option in the grub and i also get some chkdsk notification when i run on my windows7 but when i complete the whole chkdsk then the windows just restarts and again the same chkdsk runs..... [04:37] yowl, yes, it is called recovery. not a restorepoint as in windows, just a kernel before current. [04:37] ssj5goku1: sounds like your windows install has some issues with its disks/filesystems. [04:37] ssj5goku1: ask in #windows as to what better tools exist to check the filesystems [04:37] ssj5goku1, W8 in its fast boot use has a hybrid hibernate, is W8 on another HD then the ubuntu, and do you remember how you shut it down. [04:38] wilee-nilee: yaa theres a power button which has restart and shutdown and i press the shut down.... [04:39] OerHeks, Is it possible that somehow some hacker/maleware could have got me some how? [04:39] ssj5goku1, ah, as suggested by Dr_Willis it seems the issues are in windows you can run a check from the admin account on it with a right click then use tools. [04:40] yowl, i don't speculate, you told earlier you messed up yourself. [04:40] OerHeks, I didn't read you saying that. If you don't know what is wrong, how can you know I am the one who did it? [04:41] wilee-nilee: ok then i ll try it... but which os should i use w7 or w8?? [04:41] ssj5goku1, I would have both available if they are licensed myself, your choice really. [04:42] ok... [04:42] yowl, oh, nice, play the ball back to me. [04:42] yowl, good luck with your issue. [04:43] OerHeks, I don't know what your talking about, could it possibly be maleware/hacker? I've not changed anything significant or installed anything, yet suddenly this. Linux doesn't corrupt itself like windows, right? [04:45] yowl, linux does not have malware per-say at least not in its definition, a hacker highly unlikely unless you have exsposed yourself.

Might you be able to help me with this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/6274588/ [04:48] recommendations for a terminal emulator? something that launches faster than gnome-terminal, preferably [04:48] yowl, I doubt I can help. exposure is a wild field of possibilities, more that a support channel is for. [04:49] than* [04:49] yowl: try to remove .Xauthority file in your home directory [04:49] yowl: mayhap it can help you [04:50] kaen: xterm launches pretty fast, its also bare bones [04:50] kaen: xterm, rxvt [04:51] well xterm has a LOT of features.. that people rarely need these days. ;) [04:51] tozen, What kind of problem would that fix? What would removing that file do? [04:51] xterm and rxvt are indeed fast, but I found them difficult to configure [04:51] .Xauthority file is a security type file. it can get goofed up. if its removed/renamed - it will get remade with no issues [04:51] yowl: well that fix login problems usually [04:51] kaen: tilda? [04:52] checking that and guake out at this very moment [04:52] oh man, guake is nice [04:52] course a "drop down" terminal is the same as an ordinary terminal [04:52] only it's hidden [04:52] guake is a bit old. ;) [04:52] it's still running [04:52] if you just had gnome-terminal always running, it'd be the same [04:52] theres even some docks i recall with a pop-out terminal [04:52] Old. but really convient and out of the way. [04:52] Unless your app/games needs the trigger key [04:52] yeah, it's nice having a keybind to show/hide it though [04:53] i alwyas just have a few terms open. ;) === niel- is now known as niel [04:53] that's how I've been doing it for years, but I'm looking for a better way [04:53] hm [04:53] it's very possible that there is none [04:54] tozen, How might I delete it though? [04:54] years ago the cool trick was to have a terminal embeded in the root/bottom layer of the desktop. ;) [04:54] yep I had that set up when I was in my awesomewm phase [04:54] if you used a tiling wm it wouldn't matter [04:55] yowl: Ctrl+Alt+F1 -->> cd ~/ -->> Enter -->> rm .Xauthority -->> Enter -->> sudo reboot -->> Enter [04:55] reboot is a little overkill [04:55] you could just restart the DM service [04:57] hey guys i have a problem when i do sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get update, nothing updates but then randomly i get an update icon on my top bar so i click install updates and it installs 2 updates.....why can i not get the same result from doing sudo apt-get update + upgrade === Tayl is now known as Taylor [04:58] i just really like using the terminal for updates [04:58] like i used to do [04:58] Psil0Cybin: sounds like its just confused. [04:58] but now randomly i cannot run updates or get any updated packages via the terminal [04:58] reisio: you mean sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm restart? [04:58] Psil0Cybin: 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' ? [04:59] Dr_Willis: so what can i do to unconfuse it ? i dont even know how this happend. [04:59] Psil0Cybin: is there some error message for the apt-get update/upgrade commands? [04:59] Psil0Cybin: id just igniroe the gui tool. [04:59] but the GUI updates applications [04:59] the terminal does not :S [05:00] and you get some actual error messages from the commands? [05:00] Dr_Willis: i get this every time i run those commands http://pastebin.com/7UE1kV3c [05:00] no error message its just like this http://pastebin.com/7UE1kV3c finchd and Dr_Willis [05:00] how can I make a script run as root on startup? [05:01] i get those messages every single time [05:01] guys [05:01] reisio, how do you restart the DM service, what is it? [05:01] Psil0Cybin: DONT use the && method [05:01] but i get the same exact results [05:01] without the && method [05:01] its NOT doing a sudo apt-get upgrade BECAUSE you are using && [05:01] the && fails to run the 2nd command. [05:01] yowl: sudo service ligthdm restart, IIRC [05:01] because of the ppa errors. [05:01] before now i usually did it by it self, so i did sudo apt-get update [05:01] and then i would type [05:01] sudo apt-get upgrade [05:01] and i get the same exact results [05:01] same exact errors and ignores [05:01] you dont ned to update every time [05:01] Psil0Cybin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:02] pastebin the output of 'sudo apt-get upgrade' and 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' [05:02] yea but when i do upgrade, it says everything is fine but i still get an update via theupdate manager [05:02] okay [05:02] your 'update' command has invalid ppa's - you may want to remove those [05:03] reisio, What will that do, take me back to the DE? [05:03] the use of && in your command makes it where the actual upgarde never runs. [05:03] reisio: isn't should be sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm stop and start after? [05:03] yowl: most likely [05:03] Dr_Willis: http://pastebin.com/icjbU2kW [05:03] tozen: that might also work, but is the "old" way on Ubuntu [05:03] tozen: which uses a different style of init system [05:03] reisio: ok thx [05:03] reisio, 11.04 was before lightdm, wasn't it? [05:04] Psil0Cybin: you are upgraded and up to date [05:04] OerHeks: don't know, don't care [05:04] reisio, no reason i can't just restart my pc with my power button, right?

[05:07] really see now i learned dr_willis. [05:07] yowl: what do you need help with? [05:07] reisio, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6274588/ [05:09] yowl: it used to work? [05:10] reisio, Oops, forgot to include this. I was using desktop, and suddenly certain programs were refusing to work, tomboy notes, and firefly wouldn't load. So i rebooted to fix this, and I was unable to log back in. But before this everything was fine for a long time, with no change [05:11] yowl: right, you probably ran out of disk space [05:11] yowl: make some room [05:11] reisi, I got plenty of space [05:11] yowl: according to?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC [05:13] reisio, well I tried to delete some files to make more room, but it won't let me delete them, not even stuff in /home [05:14] yowl: what does it say when you try [05:14] "it doesn't let me" isn't useful information :) [05:15] reisio, nothing, the delete option is grayed out, and nothing happens when I press the delete key with the file selected. But I don't have a /home partition separate from my system partition, if that could be related [05:15] yowl: uhuh [05:15] yowl: run 'df -h' from a terminal [05:16] reisio, and? how do I use this to delete a file? [05:16] yowl: you use it to see if you're out of space [05:17] reisio, useless if I can't delete files [05:17] 哈喽 [05:17] 初次来这里 [05:17] 有人吗？ [05:17] ？？ [05:17] yowl: no point deleting files if doing so won't resolve your problem [05:17] !cn | ORYT [05:17] ORYT: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [05:18] reisio, but I am using a live drive to alter a /home on the same partition of a different OS [05:18] 这是人在说话吗？ [05:18] yowl: with all due respect we try to help you out but in order to do so we need info and that's what reiso is trying to get from you [05:18] yowl: what? [05:18] your live-cd user dosent have rights to modify files on the installed system. you need to use sudo and root access to alter the files on an installed system yowl [05:18] 还是机器？ [05:18] Who are you ?

[05:22] yowl: unresticted? totally absoutely NOT [05:22] not the case at all. [05:22] normal permissions still apply to ext2/3/4 filesystems [05:23] What is the terminal command for deleting a file? [05:23] user bob has rights to /home/bob be4cause of the permissions set on /home/bob user frank has no rights to them if the permissions are set up to not allow it [05:23] yowl: 'rm' [05:23] !bash [05:23] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[05:33] Thinkin [05:33] ORYT, http://www.ubuntukylin.com/# [05:33] Hello. Does anyone use Git here? [05:33] client: some people use git here [05:33] !anyone | client [05:33] client: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [05:34] ok sorry for that [05:34] I'd like to know if Git needs a remote repository to work? [05:34] Client Quit [05:34] client: I'm pretty sure you can just git init anywhere [05:34] ?? [05:34] client: Definitely not, git is decentralized, and that is a central part of what makes it what it is. [05:35] ORYT: /quit [05:35] client: if you want to set up a repo to be shared on a server you just git init --bare but otherwise the same [05:36] i'm reading these instructions here: http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Basics-Getting-a-Git-Repository but it isn't making sense somewhat [05:36] client: what're you confused about specifically [05:36] client: there's a lot of ways you can be confused about git [05:36] how can i disable the display manger to start automatically upon start up [05:37] They mention that you need to use more than 1 local repository for doing development. One repository for daily use and another that kind of acts like a remote repository? [05:37] client: this is !ot I believe should PM or try #git [05:37] client: generally speaking you'll have a working copy on your machine then a remote you sync with [05:37] github.com or your own server or whatever [05:37] client: this isn't necessary for having a local history though [05:38] so technically I can just use 1 repo on my system? [05:38] yeah [05:38] client: the idea is to not do your work where you're going to be doing your final commits [05:38] as such you create as many fake clones as you desire [05:38] it's just good to play well with others [05:38] I forget what they're called [05:38] you can make branches [05:38] branches, that's it [05:38] but you don't need remotes for that [05:38] reisio now that makes sense [05:38] remotes are just places you want to push stuff to or pull from [05:39] http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/ [05:39] so a branch is like a clone? [05:39] it's the same as anything you care about, make a copy, modify the copy, merge back in your finalized edits into the "original" (the original copy, that is) [05:39] client: sort of clone means something in git too though [05:40] it's a lot to cover, you should probably talk to #git [05:40] I want to enter the Chinese chat room, how to enter? [05:40] branch is effectively a copy though [05:40] or read that page I linked [05:40] ORYT: /join #ubuntu-cn [05:40] ok I will do that. let me find their server [05:40] ORYT: send that as a message [05:40] xOrHctiW: remove lightdm then you will start your X's with startx command [05:40] I have a question .I want to enter the Chinese chat room, how to enter? [05:40] client: 936 people in #git here [05:40] ORYT: type '/join #ubuntu-cn' into your XChat window [05:40] freenode server [05:40] Thank you [05:41] /msg alis list #git [05:41] tozen thank you [05:41] if you know/can guess the channel name ahead of time [05:41] otherwise /msg alis list *git*, etc. [05:41] for pete sakes [05:41] lol [05:41] xOrHctiW: no probs welcome [05:41] xmetal: you might be happier in #ubuntu-but-not-a-help-channel-at-all [05:42] reisio can't there be a situation where you over-branch? [05:43] client: if you lose track, sure [05:43] making a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy [05:43] but you can name things [05:43] to help not lose track [05:43] and you can create different repos instead of having only one [05:43] you can do pretty much anything :p [05:44] thanks reisio and wafflejock [05:44] i'll now ask in the git room [05:47] Hi [05:47] just cant seem to type /join ;) [05:47] China channel, no one pity [05:47] So [05:48] I am exit [05:48] ORYT: pity?

[05:59] test [05:59] smurf syndrome in flash player videos = disable hardware acceleration in the flash player settings [05:59] its a known issue in flash for the last several reelases [06:00] hmm. i'll give it a try. thank you kindly Dr_Willis :-) [06:00] i just use flash downloader tools. ;) then play them in vlc [06:01] i might just wind up doing that since i'm not totally sure how to find the flash player settings. although i'm finding that this whole system is a great learning experience :-) [06:02] right click on a flash player playing a video [06:02] same as in windows ;) [06:02] i think theres some other tool/way also [06:02] oh... i hope so because i tried that just now and the dialog box is similarly distorted [06:02] fullscreen the video first perhaps [06:03] ah maybe so [06:03] thats normally needed befr you can even twiddle with the settings [06:03] due to silly flash bugs [06:04] hmm the video doesn't even respond to input in that state. i'm going to have to find another way [06:05] in full screen? check askubuntu.com theres other work arounds for flash stupidity :) [06:05] i just cant recall the others. [06:05] i'll do that. i checked the adobe website, and they have instructions for pulling up global flash settings [06:06] of course the only have instructions for doing that in gnome or kde, neither of which i have, with no command line instructions at all :| [06:08] I know I found this before but can't find it now, how can I list packages for which there is no apt source ATM?

[06:43] basil1x: yes, I have [06:43] plz tell me how to apt-get install java with dependencies [06:43] Try to add it as a device again. [06:43] i am not able to find its dependencies [06:44] basil1x: the batties are showing 79% charged in power status [06:44] Good. [06:45] Then, either the poor mouse is failing, or it's not reading the click. [06:45] Try to add it again. [06:45] basil1x, have you cleaned it? [06:45] !java | ola2 have a read [06:45] ola2 have a read: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [06:46] I have very recently installed ubuntu 13.10, but each time I boot the pc, it never remembers my old configurations. For example, I have double screens and each time I need to configure the resolutions. what could be the issue? [06:46] cfhowlett: It's not me with the funny mouse. ;) [06:46] ubottu:i just want u to give me like this apt-get install openjdk-7 jre-7 ...dependeny plz [06:46] ola2: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:47] ubottu:i dont know name of dependencies [06:47] ola2: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:47] ok plz anyone [06:47] i want dependency of jdk 7 [06:47] i will give this complete package to a friend [06:47] ubottu is just modest :) [06:47] xmetal: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:47] Hi, my "Theme" seems to be changing by itself sporadically [06:48] what can I do to fix this [06:48] If you just specify the main package, it will automagically pull in the dependencies, ola2 [06:48] like, how could this even happen [06:48] no i will download it to give it to friend [06:48] apt-get download [06:48] and it doesnot downloads dependencies [06:48] !aptoncd [06:48] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [06:48] i have tried it [06:48] yes bas.. one of the advantages to ubuntu (and ubuntu-like) distros IMHO [06:48] !java [06:48] R0b0t1, you probably set it to change at intervals [06:48] To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [06:48] basil1x: Tried adding again, but still no clicks. edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf as per one suggestion on askubuntu.com forum. that too didn't work. [06:49] i have AptonCD though I just copy and past debs [06:49] to other folders to backup [06:49] Try yo add it, ola2, and a list of the dependencies will appear. You can copy/paste it from terminal. [06:49] cfhowlett: But like... how [06:49] cfhowlett: I did not do this [06:49] basil1x: This mouse is workign well on Mac OS X, so no problem with the HW. And google search shows many people have been facing similar problems since Ubuntu 7 [06:50] plz explain with example [06:50] how i get dependency [06:50] Then it's hardware that hasn't liked Ubuntu for a while, sonu. If it's a known issue, I can't solve it here without the device. [06:50] which java is it you want exactly ola2 ? [06:50] basil1x: Surprise is that it was working well on 13.04 but something broke the functionality during the upgrade process to 13.10 [06:50] 7 [06:51] i found this [06:51] apt-cache rdepends packagename [06:51] you mean the Oracle java? [06:51] ya oracle java [06:51] would it run jar on linux [06:51] go to their site and download it? [06:51] no actually i will download package and give it to friend [06:51] theres like 3 differnt javas that can run stuff [06:51] the webupd8 page has a ppa/script for downloading it i recall [06:52] that !java factoid wiki page details a lot of stuff about it as well [06:52] gnight all [06:52] sir, i just want deb package [06:52] anyone can help me out for a second? need to know what to file a bug against [06:52] i will give it to friend [06:52] brightness controls stopped working in 13.10 for me [06:52] he will just install [06:52] i dont even know if oracle packages a .deb for you to download [06:52] which package do you recon i need to file a bug for? [06:52] now the icedtea java in the repos. thats got debs === ingo is now known as gaben [06:56] http://www.webupd8.org/2013/09/oracle-java-7-update-40-7u40-released.html says you can get the java tar.gz from oracle and use their .deb/script and it will inztall it from the cache. [06:56] ther is no .deb from Oravle [06:57] ola2: if you have synaptic package manager installed, it will very helpfully tell you the dependencies of any package. just type the name in the box, right-click on the programme, and select properties. There is a dependencies tab there. [06:58] How do I know what caused the distribution upgrade to fail? Could not calculate the upgrade An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade. This can be caused by: * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu If none of this applies, then please report this bug using the command 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release [06:59] the_drow, dist-upgrades fails too frequently. that's why the recommended procedure is to download and clean install. [07:00] cfhowlett: that's pretty bad [07:00] cfhowlett: It will erase my IDE and everything else I installed [07:00] any idea why does my sound output set itself on HDMI every time I boot? [07:01] ppa's seem to be a main cause of failures the_drow [07:01] I would love to be able to choose whetever sound output I want - to make it the default output [07:01] but I guess that doesn't work. [07:01] the_drow, I feelz for ya. There was a tutorial to Identify all packages installed and recreate them on a new installation. I'll look [07:01] NuSuey: tried the pavucontrol tool? [07:01] !clone [07:01] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this may cause problems with multiarch before 12.10) - See also !automate [07:01] NuSuey: Install Pavucontrol. it will let you set default audio. [07:02] hello. How would I install libquicktime with lame option enabled? [07:02] basil1x, Dr_Willis oh, I guess I haven't. You sure it will work? the default settings in ubuntu won't set it up as default yea? [07:02] i dont worry about what 'i have installed' i write up a simple script that installs most all ever add to a new install. and keep that script [07:02] NuSuey: try it and see. [07:02] It worked for me, NuSuey, for a similar issue. [07:02] I want hdmi as a default.. since i have speakers on my monitor [07:03] Dr_Willis: ok, will have to wait a bit, till im home.. but thanks [07:03] i had the opposite.. it was defaulting to analog for several releases. it does hdmi now :) as i want [07:03] Dr_Willis: ah. well sweet then, if it works :) [07:03] Dr_Willis: It says that aptitude is not installed [07:03] the_drow: so... install it? [07:03] Also, I disabled all PPAs and still. [07:03] thered Disabeling a PPA. then theres PURGEING a ppa [07:03] !ppapurge [07:03] To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [07:03] y [07:04] btw did anyone of you tried to be able to have output enable to both outputs (hdmi+analog) simoultanously? [07:04] (poorly worded) [07:04] Dr_Willis: So that's my only option? What if I installed something not using a PPA? [07:04] the_drow: if you used teh normal repos - then it should upgrade the packages [07:04] NuSuey: O don't think that's possible. It's kind of an either-or thing. [07:04] the_drow, allow me to add a note: unless you NEED the latest ubuntu, you should only use LTS. With a 6 month support cycle, of COURSE non-LTS are beta releases. [07:05] Pulse audio should be able to route sound from differnt apps to differnt sound cards. [07:05] basil1x: it did work before. need to try again, but .. hdmi did some weird noises each minute or so [07:05] hello everyone, i am not able to open hyperlinks in document viewer, link is working properly in windows [07:05] also, i tried okular [07:05] it says host not found [07:06] weird noises - could be powersaveing of the card powering down/backup [07:06] Weird noises is a function of ALSA deciding to actually do something. [07:06] any idea [07:06] Hello, im running xubuntu 12.04, whenever i resize my mouse pointer it resizes in firefox but not when its on the desktop. Anyone know how to fix this? [07:07] Dr_Willis, basil1x it was a high pitched noise .. every minute or so.. well, how could I get rid of it? :/ or should I just scrap the whole .. doing two sound outputs at once.. thing? [07:08] hi [07:09] hello helmut [07:09] Try running several things with sound with pavucontrol open. You can then direct sound from each source where you want it to go. [07:10] Also, in terminal, check alsamixer. [07:10] yea its weird how to configure pulse.. you got to have stuff running using the sound system, then you set things up while its in use [07:12] Hello! I'm having a minor problem with 13.10.. I'm used to using openvswitch with brcompat module, so that virt-manager can work... but I can find no package named openvswitch-brcompat anymore.. I have openvswitch 1.10.2-0ubuntu2 installed [07:13] what can be the cuz [07:13] why is my ubuntu not working on my computer? it causes my video signal que get lost and the computer hangs [07:16] Uh... I have a weird problem [07:16] so [07:16] My ubuntu 13.10 died today [07:16] so I went back to my win7 boot [07:16] reloaded a unetbootin drive with 13.04 [07:16] and did the install [07:16] so that time, I didn't choose, "Install 3'd party thingys" [07:16] s1lent_1, i'm sorry to read that [07:16] have you tried tylenol? [07:17] ... [07:17] seriously type the question on one line [07:18] And when I finished, I realized that the Wi-fi didn't work... [07:18] s1lent_1, could ubuntu "die" because of this? [07:19] So I reinstalled again, but with the thing selected. But still, the Wi-fi is broke. I mean, I can access the wi-fi while installing and in live mode, but not after the install. I did install quite a few times, and even installed kubuntu once. And it still doesn't work [07:19] s1lent_1, perhaps you shoud install some proprietary firmware/drivers [07:20] s1lent_1, what AtuM said ... [07:20] AtuM, actually, I should have been specific. I had left this game's loader open for a day, and when I pressed play, unity wouldn't load, I tried resetting it in Xubuntu, but it wouldn't do anything, so I started reinstalling multiple times... [07:20] s1lent_1, I've had this sort of issue before.. and was lucky enough to be able to plug a wire into the comp to install proprietary drivers [07:21] ethernet? [07:21] ...I kinda don't have access ATM [07:21] what game loader? Steam? [07:21] s1lent_1, depending on the chip, you might able to install offline ... broadcom? [07:21] ya [07:21] as I said, it worked in live mode [07:22] and for kubuntu live... [07:22] but once I restarted... it went... dead [07:22] like, the chip wouldn't show [07:22] I believe live mode uses proprietary drivers.. they are not installed by default [07:22] ._. [07:22] s1lent_1, it happens. see the "no internet access" option http://turbolinux.org/2011/07/ubuntu-broadcom-bcm43xx-chipset-pci/ [07:22] live cd would use the open sourced drivers === frolov is now known as thorin39 [07:23] Dr_Willis, it would if available.. I've installed a notebook that worked well when using live version but the network wouldn't work once the system was installed.. [07:24] compare what modules are use on the live cd and the installed system [07:24] so... whats the quickfix that won't need me to plug into eth [07:24] s1lent_1 so you decided to NOT read the link I sent? [07:24] er === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [07:24] Its loading [07:25] but I like multiple backups [07:25] s1lent_1, what Dr_Willis said.. compare the modules, copy the driver and the firmware files into the installed system [07:25] Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to turbolinux.org [07:25] :P [07:26] Anybody familiar with libre office here? [07:26] i need some help [07:26] kalakj, ... well I use it. [07:26] !ask [07:26] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [07:26] kalakj, I believe there's a channel for that [07:27] AtuM, so... off the usb I made the boot disk from? [07:27] kalakj, /join #libreoffice [07:28] cfhowlett: Thanks, i insert a shape like a button, i put some text on it, i want to change its color but i am not able to change text color, i can change shape color, outline etc, but how to change font color, it is black by default [07:28] s1lent_1, I'd run the live version and copy from that.. it does not matter what source you use.. but the kernel versions must match [07:28] o.0 [07:28] kalakj, ask in #libreoffice [07:28] sorry for being noobish... could you please tell me a bit more detailed version of the process AtuM ? [07:28] cfhowlett: thanks === KacanuH is now known as Deyan [07:29] I'm tired... and I'll probably delete my c:\ drive... in ubuntu... which would be... very strange [07:29] * s1lent_1 yawns [07:29] i've done that before, with debian rather than ubuntu. the results are entertaining [07:29] s1lent_1, I cannot.. I don't know the exact driver name and location.. any deeper ramblings i make would not help [07:31] s1lent_1, you should first make a backup of things. If an older version works for you, you should use that.. 12.04 is quite nice.. you might have less issues with that [07:32] * s1lent_1 twitches... [07:32] I don't like old.... no offense... [07:32] old isn't necessarily bad, as lts releases are maintained for a number of years with important updates [07:33] hello, is it possible run shell script on remote linux pc from windows pc? [07:33] try in ##windows thorin39 [07:33] thorin39: ssh and putty.. yes [07:33] s1lent_1, look at it as a learning experience.. perhaps some other linux distro will work with your network device as soon as installed.. I've changed many distros and I've always learned from it [07:33] ssh in, run whatever you want thorin39 [07:33] i have a spare partition that I may (for now ... i plan on going with the new LTS next april) try either Ubuntu 12.04 LTS or arch on [07:34] also... [07:34] brb [07:34] why the hell doesn't kubuntu show up after installing? [07:34] Dr_Willis, ty [07:34] I installed it twice... [07:34] s1lent_1, so get the fresh 13.10 then the lts is the next upgrade (14.04) [07:34] yet, it doesnt appear on the GRUB thingy [07:34] s1lent_1, installed WHAT exactly [07:34] s1lent_1: show up where? you have 2 ubuntu installs? or whate exactly. [07:35] * cfhowlett ... bets on wubi anyone? [07:35] Dr_Willis, in despiration... i made 2 boot disk thingys in unetbootin [07:35] s1lent_1, kubuntu-desktop? [07:35] a classic Ubuntu 13.04 [07:35] so what does unetbootin have to do with grub menus> [07:35] and a Kubuntu 13.04 [07:35] so... I installed Kubuntu... but can't find it... [07:36] how do I use it? its taking up extra space in my hdd [07:36] :< [07:36] you can install the kubuntu-desktop packages inside the ubuntu install and select what desktop you want to use [07:36] s1lent_1, the difference between those is just in the desktop it uses.. they are both ubuntu.. [07:36] s1lent_1, why? if you want to try the other, just install the desktop environment to test look and feel. [07:36] look at you rpartions, delete the ones you dont need [07:36] resize or mount them as some data partions if you want [07:36] wait... wut [07:36] wut wut> [07:36] pastebin the output from sudo fdisk -l s1lent_1 [07:37] !paste | s1lent_1 [07:37] s1lent_1: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [07:37] not in ubu/kubu atm [07:37] /ctcp version [07:37] its trivial to have ubuntu, kubuntu, and xubuntu, and lubuntu desktops all installed at the same time. on the same install s1lent_1 [07:37] s1lent_1, then do it when you are [07:37] ... [07:37] s1lent_1, install ubuntu. Wait! I want to test kubuntu! install kde. logout. switch desktop environment to kde. login === ubunt167 is now known as UsuarioDisturbed [07:37] s1lent_1, no point in troubleshooting if you cannae actually follow the advice here [07:37] dont forget the ubuntu-gnome-desktop also. ;) [07:38] s1lent_1, in other words you can install ONE OS and dress it in multiple outfits. [07:38] wat [07:38] wat wat? [07:38] ... [07:38] s1lent_1, try the 12.04 version if that works for you.. the issue with drivers is not a good job for new-commers.. sorry it doesn't work dor you. if you install kubuntu, xubuntu or any other the issue will not get resolved by itself [07:38] wat really dosent convey any message.. [07:38] s1lent_1, stop that [07:38] er... I thought my messages weren't appearing [07:38] it was an accidental slash... [07:38] does anybody know how to handle ssh over an ipsec network connection??ssh returns an error: "connection time out" [07:39] but anyways... I was mentioning the kubuntu because I thought that might relate to the drivers [07:39] s1lent_1, many pieces of advice here, all directly addressed to YOU [07:39] s1lent_1: all the *buntu releases use the same core kernel and drivers [07:39] s1lent_1, give us the output of sudo fdisk -l in a PAstebin [07:39] s1lent_1, dont paste it here [07:40] again... I r noob. bazhang sure, let me use my IPoAvian Carrier since my Wi-Fi doesn't work in ubuntu and I have no access to an eth cable [07:40] :P [07:40] back [07:40] Dr_Willis, ah, I see... [07:40] s1lent_1, you are on internet now [07:40] ... [07:41] s1lent_1, stop that [07:41] win7 [07:41] I think I said I'm on win7 atm [07:41] s1lent_1, we're done here. [07:41] ? [07:41] s1lent_1, you might try to use something like linux-mint or fedora if you have issues with *buntu distro at the moment.. what you lack is the knowledge to solve the problem by yourself.. if you have a friend that really knows linux, you should ask him for help. i help out many friends with such issues.. [07:41] AtuM, ah, I'll try that in a bit [07:42] s1lent_1, you wont listen to any of the advice here, and provide unasked for / irrelevant posts in response [07:42] bazhang, you keep demanding to see the output of a command I can't run [07:42] and if I could run it, I couldn't paste it without an ethernet connection [07:43] because I can't view my ubu partition in win7 [07:43] then run it and come back, or use a second computer or a phone or something [07:43] s1lent_1, boot that version, copy it down, paste in the networked computer, give us the url [07:43] how do I know how much space I have left on my run of ubuntu live with persistent data I tried df -h but it gives me different sizes for different folders I need clarification [07:43] s1lent_1: your ubuntu should be able to mount your ntfs partition, so you can copy the result in a TXT in there and after come back to put it online for win7 [07:44] UsuarioDisturbed, I believe that whatever is mounted in your /home is the correct line to look for free space [07:44] ...why didn't I think of that... heh [07:44] AtuM: great === AndresSM is now known as AndresSM_away [07:46] AtuM: df -h doesn't give me info on /home how to check? [07:47] hi all. [07:48] the persistent data is an overlay mount.. I would have to boot the image myself to check.. if not /home then perhaps / is the line to check [07:48] just upgraded to 13.10 and something inconvenient happened. [07:48] what happened muso? [07:48] involving the tor browser. [07:48] !details|muso, [07:48] muso,: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [07:48] thanks. [07:49] can anyone help me this: http://superuser.com/questions/663000/ubuntu-update-causes-operating-system-not-found-on-uefi-system [07:49] I'm quite on the brink of freaking out [07:49] well, after the upgrade I can no longer enter (i.e. type) into any fields on the tor browser. [07:49] have checked on the web [07:49] and have seen that this occurs with firefox, mozilla [07:49] sometimes. [07:50] and have tried some things, but still stuck. [07:50] some things, [07:50] LambdaDusk, I usualy fix this using live boot to reinstall grub.. I've found some howtos on google to do it [07:50] such as [07:50] shutting down and deleting add ons [07:50] and intlalling different versions of tor browser [07:50] and even compiling from source. [07:51] same problem, though. [07:51] muso: writing details on one line makes it easier to read [07:51] sorry aeon-ltd . point taken [07:51] taken [07:52] it seems that 13.10 uses IMBUS. could that the problem, or part of itL [07:52] ? [07:53] anybody else have a broken tor browser? [07:53] or firefox, mozilla? [07:53] !patience | muso [07:53] muso: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ [07:54] thanks. [07:55] AtuM: I have already teied 3 HowTos, and re-installed Ubuntu and GRUB several times [07:55] i can't remember who helped me earlier but thank you. finally fixed the flash issue by reinstalling flashplugin-installer [07:56] LambdaDusk, I have also had issues with bios settings.. I'm not sure I can help since you've upgraded.. perhaps there are some issues with upgrade procedure.. could you try to reinstall? [07:57] LambdaDusk, since the 13.10 release many "howtos" from previous versions are obsolete.. [07:57] <[1]tana> hello [07:58] wow, i mistyped a command and the terminal asked me if i meant something else :-) [07:58] AtuM: I already re-installed Ubuntu, and then I installed Linux Mint, and it was always the very same result =/ [07:58] has anyone ever installed eagle cad on ubuntu? [07:58] LambdaDusk, but a previous version worked fine, right? [07:59] angs: no [07:59] hi everyone, maybe there is an error in resolvconf. it not include the file /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base [07:59] <[1]tana> I would like to start with MaaS/Juju. I've read few docs. I've tried to install ubuntu-12.04 with MaaS. It asked me for a iSCSI serveir which leads me to think that there are some prerequisites before using MaaS. Can anyone help me to start please ? [08:00] hi all i have been using pcsc_lite 1.8.3 and ccid-1.4.10 versions to read smartcard, i have an issue that the reader sometimes working correctly sometimes stuck, is it any possiable to delay the poweroff timings in the source code to rectify the problem? [08:00] hola elfenixtorres [08:00] AtuM: Yes, it did [08:00] LambdaDusk, If you haven't changed anything within the bios and the previous version worked fine, I don't see what the problem can be.. does it show grub at all? [08:01] hi, is there an option in unity for the launcher to only show apps on the current workspace? It now displays all apps on all workspaces. [08:02] ncdmr: iirc its in the unity-tweak-tool [08:02] i/j #email [08:03] LambdaDusk, also there can be a hardware incompatibility issue.. I've tried to use 64bit linux on 970fx chipset, but couln't make it work.. 32bit version worked fine.. as an example [08:03] k1l_, I did check unity-tweak already, but only found the "icon backgrounds" option to have an "alternated for each workspace". It does give some comfort to differentiate the different apps per workspace [08:04] AtuM: I didn't change anything, and I am stuped about the problem, too. And no, it doesn't show grub, it seems to skip the Harddrive when booting and goes right for network boot [08:04] AtuM: Can't tell if it tries the hard drive or skips it entirely, though [08:05] imbus is the default. That's new in 13.10, no? [08:05] LambdaDusk, can you check if you have a "bios" partition? UEFI boot needs it.. [08:06] LambdaDusk, alternatively you could try to boot in legacy mode.. [08:06] Does anyone know a good tool to extract all non-existing email-addresses from a bunch of bouncemails? [08:10] AtuM: Yes I have a bios partition, and as fars I can see, it has all the flags and grub has it, too. And can someone boot in legacy mode on a GPT disk? [08:11] jost: how is a tool supposed to know if the email is non-existing [08:11] I did apt-get install zlib* and it installed 800MB [08:11] but I still get zlib not installed [08:12] Dr_Willis: because of the reason the mailserver gave for bouncing the email [08:12] do I need to install anything else on ubuntu 13.10 to get zlib? [08:12] LambdaDusk, perhaps you should revert to the previous release.. from what I can see there are many issues with 13.10 [08:13] !find zlib [08:13] Found: libruby1.8, perl, perl-modules, zlib1g, zlib1g-dbg, zlib1g-dev, clisp-module-zlib, gambas3-gb-compress-bzlib2, gambas3-gb-compress-zlib, gauche-zlib (and 25 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=zlib&searchon=names&suite=saucy§ion=all [08:14] how do i install the python setuptools 0.7+ version on ubuntu/ [08:14] zlib1g would be my guess angs [08:14] !find openvswitch-brcompat [08:14] Package/file openvswitch-brcompat does not exist in saucy [08:14] AtuM, what kind of issues, mainly? [08:14] ? [08:15] !python|rohan, [08:15] muso, some ppl reported that upgrade fails, some packages are not available yet.. that can cause many problems.. they will get fixed in time I'm sure.. [08:15] rohan,: python is a popular Object Oriented scripting language included in Ubuntu. For more on Python please see http://www.python.org/ or #python [08:16] muso, 6 month support cycle tells me to use LTS versions [08:16] cfhowlett: i was referring to setuptools availability in ubuntu, #python won't be able to help there :) [08:16] rohan, sorry. best link I know of. [08:17] reverting to the earlier version (or LTS) is smooth sailing? (never done it) [08:17] muso, I only clean install. can't say reverting is something I'd ever want to try [08:17] you dont revert to earlier.. you reinstall. ;) [08:17] muso, reverting is best done as a reinstall.. so no.. not exactly smooth sailing === Noskcaj10 is now known as Noskcaj [08:18] muso, installing is simple.. but you have to reinstall all the packages you need again.. [08:19] Why is eclipse so so slow in virtualmachine on ubuntu?!!? [08:19] charTay, it might need more memory [08:19] charTay, everything is slower on virtual [08:20] MOAR MEMORY!!! [08:21] so, going from 13.10 to LTS is no recommended, I take it. [08:21] muso: if you want lts.. you do a clean install of lts. [08:22] if you want the latest release use 13.10 ;) [08:26] does anyone here have any experience using skype in ubuntu? i'm having serious sound issues. sometimes audio works, sometimes it doesn't, and when it works it's usually very low quality [08:26] AtuM: People should be warned, I guess there are many people out there updating 13.10 in the believe it's gonna be fine, but actually it's a huge risk [08:27] ive really not seen many poeple in here with 13.10 upgrade issues. but it can depend on a lot of things [08:28] upgrading always requires a bit of courage, I guess. 13.10, in particular, is a huge risk? [08:28] well i actually installed 13.10 from fedora 19. it's the smoothest linux installation i've ever seen [08:29] muso: i wouldent say its a huge rish, [08:29] not any more a risk then any other upgrade [08:29] LambdaDusk, I always recommend to wait a few more months... I run my workstation on 13.10 and have a single issue so far.. It's not a deal breaker so I can wait for a few packages to appear later.. I wouldn't call it "huge" risk.. but it is more of a cutting edge and it takes time for some developers to adept their packages to it [08:29] I have an ntp client which has a peer that is stick in the ".INIT." mode [08:29] can someone issues with this [08:30] anyone? [08:32] awesomebb: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/broadcom-sta/+bug/991642 [08:32] Ubuntu bug 991642 in broadcom-sta (Ubuntu) "NTP peers stuck in "INIT" when using the BCM4313 "wl" kernel module in 12.04" [Undecided,Confirmed] [08:32] like such? [08:35] AtuM: The trouble is that the window pops up and says "get 13.10" even though it's still not stable [08:35] I don't understand this.. there's a description of openvswitch-brcompat, but the package isn't available to install: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/+source/openvswitch [08:35] its as stable as any other non lts release as far as ive seen [08:35] can someone help me with my java problem? [08:35] http://pastebin.com/cRQD7ei9 [08:35] LambdaDusk, you can turn off that update in software sources. [08:36] LambdaDusk, that's true with almost every distro I used in the last 2 years [08:36] i know i should go to ##java, but this only happens since i upgraded to 13.10 [08:36] paulens12: have you looked at the difference between java versions before / after your upgrade [08:36] it seems its coredumping paulens12 . [08:36] Anyone do android I my damn R file is not being generated for some reason with every new project [08:37] ikonia: no idea.. i have openJDK 7 and 6 and that's all i know [08:37] OpenJDK works for android sdk? [08:37] paulens12: perhaps looking at the differences between what you had and what you have now would be a good start [08:37] ikonia: i had openjdk and that's all i know [08:37] lol [08:38] paulens12: why are you laughing ? [08:38] i had openjdk java 6 runtime and openjdk java 7 runtime, and i still have the same [08:38] paulens12: check the specific versions [08:38] ikonia: do you really think i'm laughing IRL? [08:38] ikonia: and how do i check what I HAD BEFORE? [08:38] paulens12: I have no idea, you said "lol" - laugh out loud, so I can only assume you find it funny [08:39] paulens12: look in the repos for the version you have before on whatever version of ubuntu you had [08:39] How can you run openJDK with effin android? [08:39] ikonia: you don't know much about skype and that stuff, do you? [08:39] paulens12: yes, I do, I use skype on a regular basis [08:39] ikonia: i don't think so [08:39] paulens12: not sure what skype has anything to do with, but I use it daily [08:39] So i never remeber how it was. how can i change a sting (in my case a ip) in several files on my server? was i grep '' / | cat (somerthing more?) [08:39] charTay: prhaps the people in #android may know. [08:39] ikonia: if you did, you would know when lol is used between normal people.. [08:40] paulens12: I never see it used [08:40] paulens12: what is the code you are trying to run ? [08:40] Shogoot: sounds like a job for sed or awk [08:40] ikonia: well, you remind me of Sheldon Cooper, lol [08:40] Shogoot: use sed [08:40] ill look it up [08:40] maaan this shit is gay [08:40] the fuck [08:40] paulens12: I'll back away from helping then. [08:40] charTay: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:40] ikonia: i'm not trying to "run a code", i'm trying to run an actual program.. [08:40] ikonia: ok, lol [08:41] :) [08:41] paulens12: code is being executed - it's a java virtual machine, it runs byte code, please stop trying to be clever with your answers, I was trying to help you by understanding the problem [08:41] !guidelines > charTay [08:41] charTay, please see my private message [08:41] ikonia: i know. but i have no f. idea what "code" the program consists of... [08:41] k. thanks all. [08:42] paulens12: control your language, just say "I don't know" - or "I'm running $X" [08:42] ikonia: and i'm not "trying to be clever", i'm being casual. and i just answered to your question straight. [08:42] Omg... How do you guys use OpenJDK for android? [08:42] charTay: this channel is for ubuntu discussion - not android [08:42] charTay: how the... did you get here?! [08:42] charTay, you might want to try /msg alis list *android* for channels that might better help you [08:43] greeter: why? everyone knows it's "#android" [08:43] I aint asking that shit shit stick. [08:43] well i'm just suggesting what i do. i did that tofind this channel [08:44] hi.. i am trying share a folder with another user on ubuntu.. but the other user is getting unable to mount ! please help [08:44] luthor, no [08:44] anybody here knows how to find the hash number using md5sum of a file to compare againast other of the same name to find out they're reasonable gthe same [08:44] luthor, no wireless [08:44] greeter: didn't you know that it's "#ubuntu"? -.-0 [08:44] i probably should have seeing as i'm also in #lubuntu [08:44] !attitude > paulens12 [08:44] paulens12, please see my private message [08:44] greeter: nothing wrong with your suggstion. [08:44] paulens12: stick to ubuntu support in here please. no need for making drama in here [08:45] k1l_: i think you're making drama, lol [08:45] i just suggested a simpler way to join a channel [08:45] true enough ikonia. using alis will also show what other ubuntu related channels are on freenode [08:45] aditya_, ubuntuone will allow you share quite easily [08:45] wow, that's so dramatic!

[08:49] yep it is [08:49] i thought so [08:50] what does dropped: strata too high regarding NTP mean?

[08:54] except it broke my apache setup [08:54] gah [08:54] Cruiseomatic: is that a specific ubuntu support question? [08:54] Yes, It is [08:54] no - no one knows anything about SSO. [08:54] Cruiseomatic, nope. sorry [08:54] * Dr_Willis closes the ticket [08:55] !details|Cruiseomatic, [08:55] Cruiseomatic,: Please give us full details.

[08:57] I have a problem connecting to a windows share is asking me for the domain name and I have no idea I know the workgroup is home but that doesn't work what can i do? [08:57] anyone with experience in this [08:57] Are all your windows setting right? [08:58] Cruiseomatic: they should be I can access it from other windows machines [08:59] Then im not sure. usually a win problem [09:00] UsuarioDisturbed: the ubuntu user has a samba password? or is this a ubuntu box connecting to a windows machines shareing a directory? [09:01] i seem to recall windows getting comfused and asking for a domain name or somtnng when i had a differnt user connecting from linux, then i had on the windows box. [09:02] #windows may have other ideas [09:08] Hi everyone. I have ubuntu 13.10 installed on a internal usb disk, if i change my disk in my laptop will there be any problem? [09:08] internal usb disk? [09:08] dont no the right word [09:08] ive moved ubuntu installs(on a hd) from one pc to another with few issues. [09:08] video drivers are somthing to watch out for. [09:09] i have a internal disk in a usb dock maybee [09:09] robin_: it won't afect it, unless you tell the OS to mount any internal storages on said drive [09:09] Could you do a cat /etc/fstab? [09:09] If its on the usb port. ;) its a USB disk. ;) [09:09] <[Gentoo]> that might affect grub? [09:10] Dr_willis i can put that usb disc in my computer [09:10] robin_: its just a fancy dock if its using usb. no differnt then a disk on a cable to a normal usb port [09:10] Unless its using esata or somthing ;) [09:10] thenit wouldent be USB. [09:11] Ive done full installs to usb flash drives and moved them from pc to pc. [09:11] Hey guys I have just installed Xubuntu 13.10 and was wondering if anybody sound hasn't worked? === xubuntu is now known as Guest45256 [09:11] okay i see your point [09:11] Hey guys I have just installed Xubuntu 13.10 and was wondering if anybody sound hasn't worked? [09:11] sound has worked for me on xubuntu 13.10 [09:11] damn [09:11] Odd, [09:12] i imagine it may depend onyour chipset [09:12] did sound work in the live-cd? [09:12] It's seems weird though because I earlier had ubuntu 13.10 with sound working fine. [09:12] its also possible its just a mixer setting set to mute [09:12] put if i open my computer and put the harddisk there will grub be affected [09:12] robin_: grub would onlybe affected if you run update-grub and it sees the new hd. [09:13] but which grub are you refering to. ;) [09:13] Guest45256, my sound works fine except in skype, i'm using lubuntu [09:13] Hmm, [09:13] <[Gentoo]> Dr_Willis: but if you dont run it, the old /dev or disk uuid will be in grubs config [09:13] My sound did not work in the live session either but I didnt notice that. [09:13] <[Gentoo]> for root [09:13] <[Gentoo]> if it changes anyway [09:13] its not clear on what hes doing [09:13] Guest45256, does sound work if you run the output application as root? [09:14] if you do a FULL install to a usb flash drive. and put grub on that flash drive.. then it wont matter [09:14] Greeter, let me give it a go. [09:14] i have done sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ehoover/compholio [09:14] reruning update-grub from the os on the flash drive. would see any other os's on the pc at the time its ran. and can add windows or other entries that would be invalid if the usb is moved to a differnt pc [09:14] i've had issues on other linux distros that use pulseaudio though running as root worked there [09:15] wrong [09:15] @Greeter it still has no sound. [09:15] most of the soundisuses ive seen inhere lately - are just mixer/volumes being mute. - seen that happen to a few people in the last week or 2 [09:15] greeter: sounds like a permissions thing [09:15] hmm. well i think that rules out any issues with pulse then [09:15] Also its not muted [09:16] i have done sudo grub-install to the usb disk [09:16] !sound [09:16] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [09:16] When I click the volume applet it shows a small white box that is empty [09:16] hmm i hope the solution to my sound issues is in one of those links :-) [09:16] Guest45256: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh --upload [09:17] Guest45256: i see that on all my xubuntu installs.. 3 for 3.. but sound works on all of them [09:17] keyboard volume controls work [09:17] http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=583f579835740496b2ca5cc2cbb4b32156aa0035 [09:18] Guest45256: are youusing HDMI sound, or normal speaers? [09:18] *speakers [09:18] Hello. After updating to saucy my keyboard is not working as it was. I use english + czech UCW keyboard, and UCW has only accented letters. I had it set to switch while alt is pressed, but I cannot find that setting anymore. Anyone knows how to set it that way? [09:19] Im using a pair of RP-HTX7 [09:19] Which is headphones [09:20] Guest45256: how do hey connect to the system? [09:20] Guest45256: usb? 3.5mm jac? [09:20] jack [09:20] Guest45256: if you run: alsamixer are all levels maxed and unmuted? [09:21] <[Gentoo]> is it in a front port? [09:21] <[Gentoo]> maybe thats an issue [09:21] yes they are all max [09:22] Guest45256: do you have multiple output ports on the system? [09:22] Guest45256: do the headphones have their own volume setting / control? Is that high? [09:23] Guys, [09:23] I quit. [09:23] I have one tip for everyone. [09:23] hi === dean|away is now known as dean === joelsantos is now known as Sendoushi [09:23] joelsantos, greetings [09:23] Do not do drugs as when you do sometimes you will put your headphone jack in the microphone port.

[09:24] <[Gentoo]> Guest45256: you noob [09:24] <[Gentoo]> lol [09:24] ironically the reason i installed ubuntu was because i was having audio issues and was wondering if ubuntu would fix them. works like a charm for me [09:24] haha indeed [09:24] is 110C hot for a hd5770 [09:24] yeah!

Turned out the room was too dark [09:34] UsuarioDisturbed: a cloud storage for music [09:34] <[Gentoo]> :) [09:34] clear [09:36] my own music collection from disturbed? like some free internet space kinda deal? [09:36] ActionParsnip: that was for you [09:36] UsuarioDisturbed, yes. [09:37] UsuarioDisturbed: you can store the files in the cloud and access them from your devices. Its like dropbox but some media players on the desktop will stream the media rather than locally storing them [09:39] ActionParsnip: what media players? the one on the cloud? [09:39] ActionParsnip: will stream it to me right? [09:40] i just upgraded to saucy... a tons of errors on python... someone can help me?

Much easier imho :) [09:44] tarelerulz: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [09:44] tarelerulz, also be sure to check your phone settings to ensure your phone isn't connecting in "charge only" mode or similar [09:45] tarelerulz: It depends which version of Ubuntu you have, 13.04 & later should just connect and give you file manager access, earlier versions can be a pig though [09:45] Truth is I don't really know where to start. I thought usb 3 would be supported out of the box. MTP I thought would be something other would have done and It would be like use this program or here is what I do. [09:46] tarelerulz: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [09:48] Well, I'm not on Linux . I'm on windows . It seem most the time with Linux you find a work around and you do that and go on. You never talk about it. My old phone I had ok . It did not show the sd card and the internal memory. [09:50] never had an issue [09:51] neh, wine seems to dislike my x config for some reason [09:52] andry: I'd ask in #winehq too [09:52] i need to set up debugging first, but thanks for that tip [09:54] I have a stock Sumsung note 3. It has mtp, ptp and usb 3 for sharing files. Any of you have a sumsung phone? [09:54] tarelerulz, this is ubuntu support - samsung is elsewhere [09:55] tarelerulz: Can you answer ActionParsnip's question, until then, we can't get any idea where the issue is [09:55] tarelerulz, sorry. ignore me [09:55] tarelerulz, for file transfer, airdroid should be great [09:56] In the past putting files onto the phone was easy. It was all USB. Not they have mtp and its not well supported. When I have mounted a device with mtp I only saw sd card. [09:59] When I run lsusb the phone shows up. Its set to USB 3 and nothing happens. I'm sorry I forgot the command to see the problem [09:59] tarelerulz: Please give us the result of "cat /etc/issue" [10:00] DJones, he's on his windows box ... [10:01] tarelerulz, start ubuntu. plug phone in. come back for troubleshooting support. [10:01] the output is Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS \n \l [10:01] tarelerulz ok. I see you switched when I wasn't looking. sorry [10:02] that is the Error initializing camera: -60: Could not lock the device [10:02] tarelerulz, mtp support in 12.04 is iffy. ... [10:02] tarelerulz, can you go into your phone settings and make sure you're connected as a camera not a data device? [10:03] tarelerulz: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [10:03] heh, just installed 13.10 ... i get a pretty desktop background, but thats it [10:03] oh, and a mouse [10:03] tarelerulz: Thats what makes it difficult, 12.04 doesn't have the drivers for newer samsung/android phones, there is gMTP in the repo's which is a flakey app, best bet is Airdroid running on the android phone unless somebody else can think of a better method, the drivers were updated in 13.04 so that it works great [10:03] If I do the camera one , it just shows the pictures. Not everyfile on the sd card or the internal memory. [10:03] zeroXten: are you using the Gnome based desktop plus Unity shell? [10:04] Should i install IcedTea or standard java? [10:04] ActionParsnip: i'm using whatever 13.10 wanted to do out of the box [10:04] tarelerulz: can you please run the command I gave in a terminal and give the output in the channel, it is one line so no pastebin is needed [10:04] literally just installed it [10:04] zeroXten: ubuntu, xubuntu, kubuntu? [10:04] Should i install IcedTea or standard java? Pros Cons i dont get this one [10:04] ActionParsnip: ubuntu [10:04] I've allowed it to log in automatically [10:04] Gnjurac: if openjava does what ou need then use it, if you need the features in Oracle java then install it [10:05] zeroXten: press CTRL+ALT+T, do you get a terminal? [10:05] tarelerulz: I could never get any consistent usb connection to a galaxy S3 with 12.04, I always used Airdroid until 13.04 came out & I found that didn't have any issues [10:05] ActionParsnip: nope [10:05] zeroXten: try CTRL+ALT+F1 log in there and get full updates in CLI [10:06] ActionParsnip: k [10:06] Gnjurac: webupd8 has a nice ppa to install oracle java easily :) [10:06] ActionParsnip, the problem is i dont know what i need i dont know if openjava is what i need or not beacuse i dont know what is the difrence betwin them ecept this one is open source thets why i asked what are prons and cons? [10:07] I ran the command you asked ActionParsnip and I gave the out put . Not in pastbin ,but just the one line. It seem like updating to 13.04 would be easyest [10:07] Gnjurac: try the opensource one, if it wiorks then you are ok :) [10:07] ActionParsnip, i instaled pate flash plugin in chromium beacuse i know thet it is newer wersion then standard [10:08] tarelerulz: I dont see you pasting the output of the command in the channel.... [10:08] if i got it correct i can manage every program with xinetd? i have a program which is acting on port 8080. i can tell xinetd to start that program when something is acting on port 8080. but how to stop that program again? normally i am starting the daemon with sudo service name start [10:08] tarelerulz: oh i see it now /blind [10:08] tarelerulz: you could try the 3.8 backported kernel [10:10] wow, trying to get X working.. this takes me back [10:10] although in fairness, X seems to be fine [10:10] Ptp give me the internal memory. That is helpful. Just wondering how I could get both sd can and internal. Would MTP do that [10:10] ActionParsnip: so, all my packages are up to date [10:10] rebooted, no dice [10:11] zeroXten: what GPU do you use> [10:12] its just an intel onboard [10:12] this box was running centos 6.4 until this morning [10:12] was kinda expecting ubunto to "just work" :) [10:13] zeroXten: ubuntu, not ubunto [10:13] sorry, typo [10:13] zeroXten: try the boot option: nomodeset [10:13] k [10:14] Not directly related to Linux, but I'm interested in doing Kernel work. Up to this point my programming experience is mostly in scripting languages, so I'm wondering where to go from here?

[10:39] not sure if this question is placed here correctly.. if I'm wrong please direct me to a better suited channel. does someone know of a table comparing sizes of native data types for 32 and 64 bit linux'? I thought e.g. that unsigned int = 32 bit on both architectures but I found a part in my program (which I'm porting from 32 to 64 bit) where I have to use int (used in the 64 bit program) instead of a long (used in the 32 bit program) [10:39] so i need everything recorded as hd [10:39] and now the question.. what software should be the right way to do this? [10:39] planing on runin ubuntu since i feel that i can handle it.. windows is not an alternative [10:40] how can i install skype on 12.04 [10:40] orgaZmo, might want to bring this to #ubuntustudio - but the HD recording is a hardware setting, isn't it?

So when I echo $PATH there is ~bin/ [11:33] hikenboot: dist-upgrade doesnt upgrade versions. can you boot to recovery mode? [11:33] I put a script in there and did a chmod +x on it. [11:33] spupek: You can try to find the process, that takes so much CPU power with the software 'top' or 'htop'. It might be, that there is some let's say 'package database maintenance'. In that case, your laptop should be quiet again after that process. [11:33] sorry apt-get....damn special keyboard that keys dont work ;-) [11:33] I can execute it there with ./myscript [11:34] nothing eats cpu [11:34] but I cant execute it from a different directory [11:34] WHy? [11:34] it has no menu for recover mode how do i get it to appear [11:34] minimec: nothing eats cpu; cpu temperature is around 47~50C [11:35] remember its a virtual machine to its hard to do keypresses on boot due to the time it takes to enter into the virtual machine [11:35] Hi [11:35] hikenboot, hold right shift during boot [11:37] spupek: ok. You did not change any fan settings in the BIOS, I guess... So the kernel is not using the 'power save features' probably. Can you boot the older kernel once? (Left key when grub starts, --choose older kernel) [11:38] minimec: yes, did not touched the BIOS. [11:39] ok after six tries I was able to get the menu to appear...its difficult for some virtual machines to get to this menu...some redesign for use with vms should be done..in mho....I will try and do some recovery now...thanks [11:39] hi, i upgraded to 13.10 and now my nvidia settings from /etc/X11/xorg.conf are not used after reboot [11:39] minimec: i've installed cpufreq indicator that indicates 'Ondemand'. === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [11:40] So i have windows 7 installed on my computer and i also installed ubuntu 12.04 on an internal harddrive which i connect via portable box and usb.

[11:42] spupek: If you install 'powertop' and launch it with 'sudo powertop', when on battery power, does it indicate how much power the computer is using actually. It looks like either the CPU or the GPU do not go into 'power save' mode... [11:42] Neozonz|Disc: if u dont use nfs, you could remove it [11:42] what if im using proxmox? [11:42] does proxmox require it? [11:43] google it, i dont know [11:43] spupek: Again I would try to verify that, booting an older 'working' kernel.

[11:48] minimec: i've ust installed powertop, but dont know what to look for [11:48] how do i know what the install device id is for my external hdd [11:48] hitsujiTMO: what does that do? [11:49] ActionParsnip: what do you mean windows device manager? never heard of it [11:49] jojoa1997: really? wow [11:49] hello, I can't enable SLI on my system, using 2 GTX 460s and Ubuntu 12.04 with forceware 331.13 drivers, i already tried all options available: Auto, AFR and SFR (sudo nvidia-xconfig --sli=Option) but no luck in getting SLI enabled, any suggestions please? [11:49] that installs pastebinit so i can see your mounted devices so i can tell you where to install grub to [11:49] jojoa1997: right click my computer -> manage you'll see it there, wjhat does it say under display adapters? [11:49] minimec: on tunables tab i found somthing like this: ' Bad Runtime PM for PCI Device Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core Processor Thermal Subsystem' [11:50] ok i will try that later. right now i dont want to leave ubuntu while i can still do stuff onit [11:50] spupek: 'sudo powertop'. Check in the 'Overview' menu tab, if you see something like this... 'The battery reports a dicharge rate of 10.2 W' or similar, when on battery. [11:51] jojoa1997: try: sudo apt-get --reinstall install `dpkg -l | grep grub | awk {'print $2'}` [11:51] hitsujiTMO: after i install that how do i see the devices [11:52] mount, but "mount | pastebinit" will dump it online so you can show us. need to see what device is mounted as / [11:52] spupek: You have the possibility to change these settings to 'good', for power usage optimization. [11:52] oh i don't if this matters, but i'm using MSI Interrupts on both GPUs (57 and 58), does this prevents SLI enabling to work in some ways? [11:52] know* [11:52] Hello, how can I check if my upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10 has been well done ? [11:52] when do the experts predict the completion of 13.10? [11:53] Artpicre: reboot and run: cat /etc/issue [11:53] Because when upgrading, it has crashed some times [11:53] Okay I'll check [11:53] i ment 14.04 :/ [11:54] gassho april 2014 [11:54] gassho: erm, when 14.04 arrives [11:54] There's nothing [11:54] gassho, 14 = year, 04 = month [11:54] Juste the version of Ubuntu, which is 13.10 === deego` is now known as deego [11:54] tyvm * g'bye ^^ [11:55] "version numbers are irrelevant" [11:55] minimec: nothing interesting in overview just like this: 'Summary: 686.8 wakeups/second, 0.0 GPU ops/second and 0.0 VFS ops/sec' [11:55] minimec: how to change that settings to good? can it be the cause of my problem? [11:56] Hi there is it possible to completely remoe unity and still have a working ubuntu installation? [11:56] irenicus09, use lubuntu, xubuntu instead [11:56] !nounity|irenicus09, [11:56] irenicus09,: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 an up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [11:57] spupek: Ok. My experience is, that is you have no power usage indication there, when on battery, then the computer is not switching into power save mode. Otherwise, you should see how much power the computer is using. [11:57] irenicus09: you can exchange the desktops with the meta packages [11:57] my dmesg after booting with option "Auto": http://paste.ubuntu.com/6276334/ , here's lspci | grep VGA: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6276337/ and my xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6276341/ [11:57] hello! [11:57] cfhowlett, k11 thx [11:58] irenicus09, best of luck to you [11:58] spupek: The 'bad' 'good' settings are not the source of your problem, but may help to optimize power usage in the future. [11:59] anyone could please point me to something? [11:59] do you guys know of an android suite for ubuntu? [11:59] !android [11:59] ubottu says no ... [11:59] cfhowlett: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:59] :) [11:59] Kartagis, to do what [11:59] Hi after some advise if possible, just done dist-update with gui from raring to saucy, it seems to have failed and is now a blank white box. I can't access dpkg or apt as it's busy. What's the best thing to do? === Thorium220 is now known as Thor|Away [12:00] bazhang: to organise my contacts and so on [12:00] hi, i upgraded to 13.10 and now my nvidia settings from /etc/X11/xorg.conf are not used after reboot [12:00] Kartagis, gmtp will allow you to transfer files, the other has android apps for that [12:01] does setting variables in .bash_profile make available to other applications such as Android studio? [12:01] Kartagis, contact management? airdroid [12:01] sixwheeledbeast, dist-upgrade is NOT version upgrade, what exactly did you do [12:01] cfhowlett: yeap [12:01] where do I set JAVA_HOME so that Android Studio can access it ? [12:01] bazhang: the other? [12:01] cfhowlett: btw is the ubuntu-gnome-desktop package similar to plin gnome3 ? I mean the vanlla gnome 3 :p [12:01] !dist-upgrade | sixwheeledbeast [12:01] sixwheeledbeast: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [12:01] svector: in bash is my guess [12:02] svector: possibly 'EXPORT JAVA_HOME="/path/to/java"' rather than setting it? [12:02] Kartagis, tonnes of apps in the android app store, try #android for support with that [12:02] gregor3005: did the nvidia driver build ok for the new kernel? [12:02] bazhang: click on upgrade to saucy button when it popped up, and followed the prompts [12:02] gregor3005: are you using the nvidia driver now or are you using nouveau? [12:02] somsip: export, not EXPORT [12:02] irenicus09, as I understand it yes. [12:02] thanks bazhang [12:03] Kartagis: yep - thanks (svector) [12:03] cfhowlett: k [12:04] hello, I can't enable SLI on my system, using 2 GTX 460s and Ubuntu 12.04 with forceware 331.13 drivers, I've already tried all options available: Auto, AFR and SFR (sudo nvidia-xconfig --sli=Option) but no luck in getting SLI enabled, any suggestions please? [12:04] my dmesg after booting with option "Auto": http://paste.ubuntu.com/6276334/ , here's lspci | grep VGA: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6276337/ and my xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6276341/ [12:05] irenicus09, by the way, you can test look/feel of the other distros on your current box. sudo apt-get install lxde && sudo apt-get install xfce4 will give you a taste of lubuntu and xubuntu. install, logout, choose the alternate desktop environment, login. enjoy [12:05] !dist-upgrade [12:05] A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [12:05] also I was wondering if there's a way to switch to newer kernels, etc. [12:05] ActionParsnip: i use the nvidia drivers and configured my twinview with the nvidia settings tool [12:06] !upgrade [12:06] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [12:06] on gentoo based distro like sabayon I used to be familiar with kernel-switcher..used to make the task so easy [12:08] minimec: i've just rebooted to use older kernel the version ending with 30 instead of 31... waiting. but no fan noise yet [12:08] I'm trying to install ubuntu 13.10 from a DVD as a new installation. The system took about an hour to boot, complained it couldn't find a network config, but would boot without one, and now it's asking for a username/password. None of the old username/password combos work. What the heck is it looking for and why is this happening? [12:08] gregor3005: yes but are the nvidia drivers in use _now_ [12:09] spupek: Ok. Good decision. Test that kernel and also verify 'powertop'. [12:09] Okay so to be more "exact" I followed the instructions as per !upgrade and the upgrade has hung leaving me with an empty "Distribution Upgrade" box, the install hasn't compeleted. [12:09] ActionParsnip: how can i check this? the kernelmodule nvidia is loaded "lsmod | grep -i nvidia" [12:09] caca [12:10] why is new 13.10 DVD install boot even asking for a username/password? [12:10] minimec: still no fan noise. what to do with powertop? remove AC and overview?:) newest kernel is buggy? [12:12] minimec: i see this in tunables: "Good Using 'ondemand' cpufreq governor", i think i have not seen this line when i was using the new kernel. i have to check it later [12:12] Can no one provide any information on 13.10 DVD install problem? [12:13] spupek: Exactly. Remove AC and check if you get a power usage like 'The battery... 12.6W' ... [12:13] removed, but nothing like [12:13] in system tray i says how much left, but same as like in new kernel [12:14] spupek: Ok. But I guess wwe are going in the right direction, if your computer runs more silent now, right? [12:14] definetly :) [12:14] i love the silence [12:15] why is new 13.10 DVD install boot asking for a username/password when presumably no users have been entered yet? [12:17] no one familiar with SLI settings/issues? [12:17] minimec: how can i permaanently select older kernel? [12:17] spupek: Also... You might want to install the 'laptop-mode-tools'. Just install the package, that should do. It should configure your machine to optimize power usage. [12:18] Guess nobody on knows answers to my quesions, will try again later. [12:19] stevecoh1: that sounds like the DVD is not sane [12:19] spupek: you could uninstall the linux-image-generic package. Like that you don't get the kernel updates. Then you uninstall the kernel, that bothers you... That is one option. Another one would be to modify /etc/default/grub to indicate the kernel you want to boot. [12:20] After upgrading to 13.10 I can't set the key combination for switching the keyboard layout to Ctrl + Shift .. why is that ? [12:23] ikonia: I don't think the DVD is the issue. Corruption of the DVD would result most likely in a hung system, not a system that's functional but stupid. At this point I have to blame 13.10 unless someone can give me a better theory. [12:26] I can't seem to get apt-get to work. I get the following error Reading package lists... Error! [12:26] E: Encountered a section with no Package: header [12:26] E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/packages.medibuntu.org_dists_raring_free_i18n_Translation-en [12:26] E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. [12:26] I can't pastebinit, because apparently I don't have that installed and I can't install it [12:27] ActionParsnip: how can i check this? the kernelmodule nvidia is loaded "lsmod | grep -i nvidia" [12:27] hi, i want to set up a mail server that is just usuable from the local network but able to send email to public addresses [12:28] lvleph: Medibuntu is 'dead' I think. Disable (remove) these sources... === Hackwar1 is now known as Hackwar [12:29] lvleph: http://www.medibuntu.org/ [12:29] I will try that minimec [12:30] buscon try tasksel (task select) [12:30] thank you minimec everything is working now [12:30] lvleph: no problem. [12:31] Would have been nice to get a more meaningful error [12:31] MonkeyDust: i've just run dpkg-reconfigure postfix [12:31] I guess the last line was meaningful, just wasn't very readable on my terminal [12:32] Anyone managed to get Boinc screensaver running on Ubuntu 3.10 with Xfce? [12:32] i've tried both "Internet Site" and "Internet Site with smarthost" but both they don't work as expected [12:33] how do i get the root terminal to boot into a run mode that has networking? [12:33] but no graphics [12:34] hikenboot: why? [12:34] Music from computer hdd to iphone 5 running ios7..? [12:34] so i can reinstall open-vm-tools again... [12:34] since it errored in a chroot trying to reinstall that package which was the original problem anyways [12:35] 'Morning folks [12:35] hikenboot: I suggest stepping back and describing the original problem [12:35] without networking i can not to an apt-get install -reinstall [12:36] it wont boot into a graphics mode...it comes up with a screen that says its in a low graphics mode where the mouse doesnt work so i cant do anything (this is a vmware esx5i guest vm) [12:36] hikenboot: get to a tty [12:37] ctrl + alt +f1 doesnt work [12:37] hikenboot: why not? Is it an issue because you are in a vm or is it broken somehow? [12:38] when the low graphics mode dialog box appears nothing works [12:38] hikenboot: figure out how to get to a tty in vm [12:38] i think it has something to do with it not being thought out for a vm [12:38] hikenboot: there's usually some magic shortcut or menu option [12:39] hikenboot: alternatively, you can probably just start the networking service or run dhclient eth0 in recovery mode [12:41] this looks like it will work http://askubuntu.com/questions/32815/how-do-i-change-the-runlevel [12:45] anyone know how I would be able to find out what underlying package is used by zip? e.g. like zlib or anything similar [12:45] hello Folks [12:45] I use the "https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_%26_Active_Directory" to join my linux to windows domain and it joined successfully but after init 6 my linux not booted and shown me a black screeen [12:45] any idea? [12:45] what's wrong wit my /etc/environment? https://gist.github.com/v-node/7083301 [12:46] i've set JAVA_HOME but I can't access it [12:46] echo $JAVA_HOME prints nothing [12:48] Hey [12:48] svector: how did you set it? [12:49] ok i figured out how to get networking working by doing the boot to text mode in grub...works great. I have gone and extended my partitions in the vmfs file system in vmware...how do i extend the ext3 file system in the ubuntu guest anyone know? [12:49] apparently the problem was that I ran out of space in /tmp [12:49] hikenboot: i /tmp on it's own partition? [12:49] no its on /sda1 [12:49] Hello anyone? [12:50] sudostar: hi [12:50] i didnt use lvm so does that mean I am screwed or can it be extended [12:50] hikenboot: what else is on sda1? [12:51] everything [12:51] hikenboot: tried removing old unused kernels? [12:51] hikenboot: sudo apt-get clean as well? [12:52] I upgaded from 13.04 to 13.10 (both 64amd) and now i cannot print. My printer is visible on the network but nothing is printed. Am I missing something? [12:52] sirronb: have you tried removing it, rebooting then readding it? [12:52] hikenboot: How much RAm do you have on that machine? One solution would be to put the /tmp directory directly to RAM. I do that on my laptop with 8GB RAM without any problems. Even 4GB RAM should be ok for that. [12:53] thats an excellent solution do you happen to have a doc on that [12:53] hikenboot: on what? [12:53] i cleaned kernels so i only have two and still no space [12:53] putting /tmp in memory === needhelp is now known as needhelp1 [12:54] putting files on RAM? How O.o [12:54] I have like 128Gig memory so that isnt a problem [12:54] I tried removing and readding, yes. But I haven't tried the reboot part. I'll do that tonight as see if it then works. [12:54] hikenboot: Open /etc/fstab, add the following line: 'tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0'... reboot [12:54] awsome thats one to put in my catalog of things to remember thanks minimec [12:54] I thought ram getswiped when power down? [12:55] hikenboot: Some hints... http://askubuntu.com/questions/173094/how-can-i-use-ram-storage-for-the-tmp-directory-and-how-to-set-a-maximum-amount [12:55] Hey, im having an issue with updating Ubuntu, I cant. Sudo apt-get update doesnt work, I cant open software updater, or change sources [12:55] everything is " Failed to fetch " [12:55] hikenboot: Other thing. Do you have a swap on that harddrive? [12:56] already tried sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*-vf [12:56] yes can i put that on a ram drive as well? [12:56] needhelp1: Have you tried any other package manager? [12:56] I will have to figure out how to extend the partition but that will get me to be able to boot at least [12:56] sudostar how so? [12:57] I dont think i am using any swap though [12:57] needhelp1: is network itself working on that machine? [12:57] hikenboot: Yes. Sudo 'apt-get install zram-config', and remove the swap entry from /etc/fstab, reboot. [12:57] fidel yeah [12:57] ok i can do that once i have recoverd [12:57] thanks [12:57] needhelp1 [12:57] needhelp1: messed around with the sources file manually? [12:57] Try typing "aptitude" in terminal [12:57] fidel i dont think so [12:57] ActionParsnip: One more question - Does one always have to re-download apps after upgrading? I have this issue after every upgrade. I have been using Ubuntu now since 12.04 [12:57] anotther one to write down...I thnk I have it from here...thanks guys its really appreciated [12:58] needhelp1: Try typing "aptitude" in terminal [12:58] guest@guest-System-Product-Name:~$ aptitude The program 'aptitude' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install aptitude [12:58] Ah :/ [12:58] dkpg? [12:58] I have more of a general question.

[14:28] Hi, I have installed saucy salamander on my HP laptop that has nvidia 8600 M GS graphics card. Using jockey I have enabled and installed nvidia proprietary drivers. But on boot time, the nvidia splash screen gets displayed. So I googled how to disable the splash screen and found that I have to add a NoLogo directive in xorg.conf [14:29] od6: try installing it using the --no-install-recommends option [14:29] There was no xorg.conf and so I generated one using nvidia-xconfig and added the directive. But on reboot, X failed to start and I got a failsafe mode error. [14:29] well it doesn't really matter. i don't need mysql auth backend but i can live with it on my system [14:30] On removing xorg.conf and rebooting, things work fine, but how to disable the nvidia splash screen at boot time [14:30] Hi, I have installed saucy salamander on my HP laptop that has nvidia 8600 M GS graphics card.

Secure Boot camn be disabled. However, I can't get past the GRUB menu. All I get is a black screen and the orange LED indicating my NVidia GPU is active. I have tried nomodeset, acpi_osi=Linux and acpi_backlight=vendor to no avail. [14:34] irenicus09: you install the kernel... [14:34] In the Ubuntu security cve catalog, what does DNE mean? [14:34] After enabling proprietary drivers, the plymouth bootsplash screen doesn't show up most of the times or shows the text only version briefly. In previous versions of ubuntu, it did work perfectly with proprietary driver. What could be the issue here and how to fix it? [14:35] Ari-Yang: is there an official way or utility like on Gentoo based distro sabayon they have a utility called kernel-switcher [14:35] lgp171188, it has been an issue ever since ubuntu 12.04; http://www.webupd8.org/2010/03/how-to-get-plymouth-working-with-nvidia.html [14:35] it automates the process etc. [14:36] is anybody having issues with keyring and google account, it doesn't authenticate me for synchronizing my google account [14:36] irenicus09: dunno, all I know is that you can edit grub to boot an older kernel that has been previously installed or to boot the latest one you installed. [14:37] is there a list i could copy to my usb of all the programs that are updated with apt-get update? [14:37] Ari-Yang: I get it bro....but how do I actually install it...or do I have to resort to compiling from source lol.. [14:37] RobinJ: It worked fine for me on 12.04 which was the last Ubuntu I used before saucy. So let me try the stuff given in that webupd8 article and see if it works [14:37] this uefi/optimus mess is going to be the death of ubuntu if we don't find a proper solution soon.. [14:38] irenicus09: I see what you're asking now... You weren't really clear. Basically you want to install like latest stable kernel (3.11.6) without having to compile? [14:38] lgp171188, *has been an issue ever since 10.04. usually only starts adfter certain updates [14:38] irenicus09: or latest RC kernel of 3.12 [14:38] Ari-Yang: yes please :p === Guest31334 is now known as xtriz [14:38] irenicus09: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ use that, if I may ask, why are you doing this? [14:39] RobinJ: I agree, I have had such issues before. [14:39] Ari-Yang: I have a radeon card hd8750 & I think it might work better with the newest kernel [14:40] irenicus09: you're on a laptop (if you do is it heating up)? and how do you think it'll work better? [14:40] Hello [14:40] irenicus09: what ubuntu version are you on? [14:40] I'm having a problem upgrading my google-chrome-stable package! [14:41] it shows me 3 missing dependencies [14:41] Ari-Yang: I just managed to get the card working with the driver that came a week ago and they recommend atleat 3.9 kernel [14:41] Ari-Yang: I'm on 13.04 with 3.8 kernel [14:41] irenicus09: you're using open source radeon driver right? [14:41] which are: lib32gcc1 , lib32stdc++6 , libc-i386 [14:42] irenicus09: any who, irenicus09 I recommend you install kernel 3.11.6 and add radeon.dpm=1 to GRUB for dynamic power management, prevents your card from running hot [14:42] Ari-Yang: noim on the proprietary one...OS version doesnt work yet...it's a hybrid card with switchable graphics [14:43] irenicus09: edit /etc/default/grub and make GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash " look like this GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash radeon.dpm=1" [14:43] exit [14:43] irenicus09: uhhh yeah, you're gonna have problems with fglrx while updating the kernel [14:43] * Ubuntivity feels oops! [14:43] irenicus09: go back to open source/free drivers before updating kernel [14:43] Ari-Yang: ow :( [14:43] irenicus09: the proprietary ones won't work... [14:43] so far fgor the theory that ubuntu will run on everything.. [14:44] irenicus09: 'sides radeon open source driver is so much better than fglrx [14:44] * irenicus09 feels scared! [14:44] irenicus09: fglrx has terrible 2d acceleration [14:44] irenicus09: go to software sources and go to the 'additional drivers tab', if you're using proprietary switch from it and use the open source/free drivers [14:45] Ari-Yang: I tried with the opensourced ones but problem is if I run games like dota2 it doesn't seem to detect my card :( === Lebby1 is now known as Lebby [14:46] irenicus09: oh so you game.... well you could upgrade to mesa 10 so you can have a better gaming experience on open source driver [14:47] irenicus09: you on 32bit or 64bit? [14:48] Ari-Yang: im on 32bit sry my net has so much lag...barely can type lol. [14:49] irenicus09: you might as well update mesa seeing how you have to use open source radeon driver anyway... [14:49] it's up to you though [14:49] Ari-Yang: how do I get mesa working [14:49] irenicus09: there is no point in upgrading your kernel to 3.11 if you aren't going to use dpm, upgrade mesa, and get UVD support for hardware video decoding via vdpau [14:50] sry I don't have much experience in these kinds of stuff :[ [14:50] Ari-Yang: what is dpm [14:51] but I know vdpau is pretty cool for playin videos n stuff [14:51] irenicus09: dynamic power management, prevents cpu and gpu from running hot [14:51] I had it before on a different ard [14:51] irenicus09: don't think vdpau is exclusive for nvidia, you can use it on radeon too [14:52] Ari-Yang: I thinkI could use that dpm...before I installed the proprietary driver my laptop used to get hot sometimes quite easily [14:52] now the problem has sort of decreased [14:55] Ari-Yang: is there an official or good guide that I can look at to fix my issue from upgrading kernels to switching drivers, dpm etc. [14:55] let me know pls :) [14:55] irenicus09: I don't know of any [14:55] but [14:55] I typed out instructions http://paste.opensuse.org/92349589 [14:56] good luck [14:56] irenicus09: but don't d/l that amd64 headers, download this http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.11.6-saucy/linux-headers-3.11.6-031106-generic_3.11.6-031106.201310181453_i386.deb [14:57] Ari-Yang: ok thx I'll experiment and come to u :) [14:57] irenicus09: use this paste http://paste.opensuse.org/91918679 [14:57] fixed that error [14:59] Hi everyone I have a big problem.

I just dropped my notebook flat on its bottom from a height of about 1 and a half feet... It just rebooted and everything seems to be working just fine.

I only get a black screen with a cursor. I've been at this for 6 hours, and I'm starting to lose hope. Ubunte Upgrade has removed fglrx drivers, which seems to be part of the problem because my chipset is not supported by current default AMD drivers. Any tips? [16:06] bobin, in software & updates, there is a tab called addional drivers [16:06] root_worm, what is the error you are getting when you compile the module? Could you pastebin the output?

[16:14] bobin I think I would use flgrx_updates, but I'm not sure [16:14] halp_, Are you wanting to use those drivers? If so you could purge them and then reinstall.

[16:17] Yes but have to remove them [16:17] Is there a way just to use my main partition (filesystem thingy with ubuntu), for just the boot, and the huge partiton as a storage thing? [16:17] voziv: 13.04 repos only support apache 2.2 ... you will have to find an updated ppa elsewhere or build it yourself. another alternative is to upgrade to 13.10 with supports apache 2.4 [16:17] where everything is installed? [16:18] I see [16:18] thanks hitsujiTMO [16:18] w00tuser, you can mount the second partition and use it for storage, but most likely software will still install on the main partition.

[16:20] jpedroza2k, no redirects? [16:20] w00tuser, what you want to do is expand the other partition, so they are both in one partition, correct? [16:20] what recommend media players are there for ubuntu [16:20] mustafa: what exactly do you mean by "i want to build a vps server" [16:20] uh... they're both in sda2 [16:21] mustafa: typically one just buys a VPS, as a VPS refers to a single virtual server on strong physical hardware. [16:21] Is there a way to start a program and save its numeric window ID in a file? [16:21] jpedroza2k, how would I go around doing that? [16:21] Like, a program that launches another program and outputs its window ID? [16:21] w00tuser, right, so you want to merge them into one partition where you access the entire space as one section, not two. Is that correct? [16:21] yes [16:21] which one is better vmware or virtual box ??? [16:21] do I need to reboot or something after modifying /etc/systemd/logind.conf [16:22] w00tuser, You cvan do that with gParted, but you will need to boot from a live CD to do it because otherwise the partitions will be active., [16:22] jpedroza2k, zteam, bobin, kali__, My GPU drivers are not longer supported in ubuntu 13.10, so I want to switch from fglrx to radeon (open source drivers). radeon is installed but the log files say that I still use fglrx in some cases... [16:22] which one is better vmware or virtual box ??? [16:22] halp_, Sounds like there is a config file somewhere that is still pointing to the old drivers...

[16:24] like an operating system or a service that support multiple users ..program ..seperate enviroment [16:24] jpedroza2k, so... to be clear (no, I'm not stupid, I just like rechecking), I boot from my live cd (usb), then install gparted, then.... merge them? [16:24] how do i merge? [16:24] wait nvm [16:24] I <3 the interweb/google [16:24] w00tuser, the process would be to boot from live cd/USB. Launch GParted. Expand the partition on sda2 to include the space you need. Write the new partition table, and then done.

[16:26] mustafa, I run a VPS server host with nodes in Ubuntu and other Linux operating systems that uses OpenVZ. [16:26] mustafa: if you mean you want to create a virtualization server so you have host vps, you need to look at hypervisors such as vmware esxi, ms hyper-v, citrix zenserver, etc. however this is not the correct place to ask such a question [16:26] mustafa, check the openVZ channel or Zen channel [16:28] Hi, what should I do if I have a command looking in the wrong place for an executable? grunt is installed to /usr/bin/grunt but whenever I type 'grunt' I get '-bash: /usr/local/bin/grunt: No such file or directory' [16:29] aaronds add the path to your path variable: PATH=/user/bin/;$PATH [16:29] hi everybody .... strange problems here .... the laptop's performances have gone to the dogs after upgrade to 13.10.

[16:32] I've installed the new kernel and I wanted to switch the opensource rdeon driver before rebooting but t says to switch I need to reboot first lol [16:33] hitsujiTMO: Extreme CPU X7900 @ 2.80GHz, 8GB RAM, QUADRO FX1600M [16:33] and from what I've heard if I didnt switch to OS driver for my radeon card first then I'd have problems etc. [16:33] hitsujiTMO: I doubt it is the specifications, the system was fine before the upgrade. [16:33] hitsujiTMO: I am using 64bit to make use of the whole memory [16:33] eeos, have you looked at top too see what is using resources? [16:34] hitsujiTMO: yes, nothing anomalous. [16:34] hitsujiTMO: it is like the system is running in powersave mode, with the CPU frequency set at the lowest. [16:34] hitsujiTMO: at the same time, there is no tool to read and control the cpu frequency or the governors on 13.10. [16:35] I have one problem i keep geting the message some sytem problem detecde, can i look at the problem from terminal? [16:35] hitsujiTMO: whihc is very strange, because some time you just need to do that by hand. [16:38] hey everybody [16:38] Hi [16:38] some time ago, I noticed that the volume keys no longer worked fine on 12.04 [16:39] for example, if I press the toggle key, the sound is muted. But if I press it again, the sound is no longer turned on [16:39] eeos can you paste the output of: top -n1 and: free -m [16:39] even the keys to increase and decrease the volume does not work well: they do not reach the lower and upper limits (at least in the applet on the panel) [16:39] before upgrading to 13.10, i want to ask you guys how the bug situation is? i am experiencing no bugs in 13.04, and am loving it, so i dont want to upgrade if it is going to be a downgrade, if you know what i mean [16:40] what might be the problem? What should I look for? [16:40] Any ideas? [16:40] Hi all. [16:40] are the people who have 13.10 happy with it [16:40] hitsujiTMO: output of free -m is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/6277834/ [16:40] hitsujiTMO: output of top -n1 is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/6277838/ [16:41] currently running xubuntu 12.04 and cant resize my mouse. any thoughts? [16:41] eeos xorg is using a crazy amount of cpu, have a look at what drivers are getting loaded [16:42] hitsujiTMO: the usual, the nvidia driver [16:42] hitsujiTMO: I have an average of 6.1% cpu, which is normal with ubuntu [16:43] hitsujiTMO: this has always been the case though [16:44] Hello? [16:44] hitsujiTMO: there does not seem to be the directory /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/, how does the governor control the frequency?? [16:45] chaotix are you asking us to tell that a next release is worse than the one before? [16:45] Just updated my machine from 12.04 to 13.10 and having problems with RoundCube get "Service not currently available" when logging in to roundcube web page and /var/log/roundcube/errors contains "PHP Error: Could not perform encryption; make sure Mcrypt is installed or lib/des.inc is available in /usr/share/roundcube/program/lib/Roundcube/rcube.php" - Any ideas? Tried clean 13.10 install (in [16:45] virtual machine) and get same problem. [16:47] smithg400, is Mcrypt installed? [16:48] How can I prevent a specific user from running a specific command in the sudoers file? [16:48] I have "libmcrypt4" and "php5-mcrypt" installed. Does it need anything else? [16:49] MonkeyDust, not at all... i havent tried 13.10 yet, and was looking for feedback before i upgraded... i got smoe feedback next door in o.t. [16:49] hitsujiTMO: I think there is a problem with the governor .... even if I issue a "stress -c 2" the cpu does not seem to increase the performance .... fans do not start running faster [16:50] eeos: are you having the same issue in the live cd? [16:50] hitsujiTMO: did not try it. [16:51] how i can add session button to ubuntu 13.4? [16:51] smithg400, That should be good. Did you activate it in mcrypt.ini [16:52] anybody else having intermittent wireless connection drops with Intel 7260 cards? [16:52] running 13.10 [16:52] eeos: you may be on the right train of thought if its due to changes in how the governor is managed between 13.04 and 13.10. a fresh install may fix this. if you are having the same issue on the live cd then i would report a bug [16:52] smithg400, did you restart apache2 after installing mcrypt as well? [16:52] hitsujiTMO: I cannot go through a fresh install again, it is a production machine. [16:53] eeos: i would still try a live cd to see if the issue is there or not [16:54] hitsujiTMO: I will .... is thee a way to manually activate the cpu frequncy scaling, by the way? [16:54] 我爱吃鸡巴 [16:54] eeos, i'm unsure of the case tbh [16:54] Activate it? Saw some references to that - my /etc/php5/conf.d/mcrypt.ini contains "extension=mcrypt.so" which I think is correct. I've now installed mcrypt as well and restarted apache2 but still have problem. [16:56] hitsujiTMO: thanks a lot for your help in any case! [16:56] smithg400, Sounds like a roundcube issue, have you asked in there? [16:56] I am getting the following error in desktop 13.10 when using a2ensite [16:56] available$ sudo a2ensite test [16:56] ERROR: Site test does not exist! [16:57] Not yet - will try, thanks [16:57] I have test configured under sites-available$ [16:58] kurtwp that's an apache thingy... running server? if yes, try asking in #ubuntu-server [16:58] no running desktop [16:58] installed LAMP had no issues in 13.04 [16:59] kurtwp: Do you have a site called 'test' in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ ? [16:59] yes [16:59] kurtwp: just 'test' not test.conf or anything? [16:59] eeos: have a look at the package indicator-cpufreq [17:00] hitsujiTMO: thanks a lot, will do. [17:01] :D [17:07] Music results from a lens search are reporting prices in Euros instead of dollars. How do I change this? [17:07] hi [17:07] i installed picubuntu in mk808b device [17:08] Hey guys I just installed OpenJDK Java 7, while installing PyCharm. However, pycharm said it is recommended to use java by oracle. Are there disadvantages to having openJDK? [17:08] put i have problem on connecting to internet [17:08] are there compatibility issues, etc? [17:08] picubuntu don't have bcm40181 wlan module [17:09] i connected my android mobile phone and use usb tethering [17:09] picubuntu find my device and connect to network [17:10] but i can't connect to any device on network [17:10] any idea? [17:10] jetro, The biggest issue is the license. Other than that I have not had any major issues, but Oracle does control Java. ymmv [17:10] Hi, i have a heating problem, my computer is working really hard in ubuntu, i do not do anything but still the computer working hard, I dont see why. Any suggestions? [17:11] jpedroza2k, yeah pycharm seems to be working fine. But their warning message scared me.. [17:11] no idea? [17:12] molavy, If someone is able to help they will respond. [17:12] I'm using LDAP on my network, among other things, it manages my sudoers files. On my (personal) workstation I want to use LDAP and files for sudoers. That's what I've put on my /etc/nsswitch.conf: sudoers: ldap files , and here is my /etc/sudoers.d/redmine_gitolite: redmine ALL=(git) NOPASSWD:ALL [17:12] but whenever I try to sudo -u git -i ls it keeps asking my password. How can I debug what's going on? [17:12] ok [17:13] what's the best way to reinstall pulseaudio? [17:13] do I harm my ubuntu server when I switch it off by pressing the power button? [17:13] apt-get install --reinstall pulseaudio ? [17:13] Anyone know what I'm doing wrong when setting up apache2 mod_fastcgi to work with php5-fpm? http://hastebin.com/ropimuyodi.conf [17:14] jetro: most java developers will provide this warning if they only test under the oracle jvm. [17:14] When I click on a pay video in the video lens nothing happens. Is this a known issue? [17:15] hitsujiTMO, ahh I see; does openJDK typically suffer when a program is developed/tested only under oracle jvm? [17:16] jetro: usually not from anything i've seen [17:17] hitsujiTMO, cool! and pycharm seems to be working pretty smoothly as well.. [17:17] heylo. I have ubuntu 13.04 installed. I'm trying to compile openmovieeditor and I get an error: install libquicktime with lame enabled [17:17] jetro if you're ever concerned you can infact install both jvms [17:18] hi all [17:18] can anyone tell me how to uninstall libquicktime (built from source) and re-install with lame enabled? [17:18] help_me: make uninstall [17:18] can i see how much my cpu and gpu works? [17:19] ok I did that, but I can't find out how to install with lame enabled... any ideas joaosantana [17:20] help_me: searching... [17:21] thank you joaosantana [17:21] Hi guys, I have a problem with x11 after upgrading to 13.10. Does someone have time to help me? [17:22] and phpmyadmin.. :( [17:22] mikael_, more details please. [17:22] !ask | mikael_ [17:22] mikael_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience === daz_ is now known as Guest82957 [17:26] prodgy, you can look in System Monitor and it will show you CPU and memory usage. [17:26] Alright, So I upgraded to 13.10 yesterday on my old dekstop computer that I use as a server, (its running ubuntu dekstop though). I have previously used x11 to be able to RDP from my windows machine, but after the upgrade that doesnt work. If i SSH to the server and tail the /var/log/xrdp-sesman.log file, I can see that it starts a new session for me when i log in, and shut it down immediately. [17:27] IIRC, I changed a config file to use gnome 2 (???) because the server was performing poorly due to lacking a proper graphics card [17:27] hi [17:27] mikael_, I cant make rpd or vnc work as a server anymore. I can only log into an existing console session [17:27] <[Wit]katzy> ekhm, hibernate option is gone from shutdown menu after upgrade, pm-hibernate works [17:28] i have a DVD_TS folder, how can i re author the dvd? it won't play in my player. [17:28] *rdp [17:29] help_me: seems libquicktime is compiled with lame support by default. Do you already have lame installed? [17:29] I'm not sure [17:29] no I do not joaosantana [17:30] help_me: that's because libquicktime is compiling without lame support. [17:30] how do I get it to compile it with lame support joaosantana [17:30] ? [17:31] hi [17:31] help_me: you need to compile lame 3.93 before compile libquicktime [17:31] what's the official name of uncomping ubuntu distro for mobiles [17:31] okay, thank you so much [17:31] compdoc, in my '~/' directory I have a file called '.xsession-errors' does that say something if you tail it? [17:31] you're welcome :) [17:32] compdoc, and do you have one? === joaosantana is now known as joaosantana_afk [17:33] mikael_, what I had to do was install x11vnc, then log into the console and run it, then I can connect [17:33] I can only connect while the console is logged in [17:33] compdoc, that's strange.. [17:33] what gannt software yall recommend? [17:34] mbnoimi: what exactly do you mean? [17:34] mikael_, its the same thing as vino, but with x11vnc you have the options of ultra or tight vnc protocols [17:34] Does anyone know how to force cursor size globally on xubuntu 12.04? [17:35] ubuntu is headed away from remote access servers, which is sorely needed for any headless server [17:35] hitsujiTMO: Canonical announced that they will release a new mobiles so I wonder what's the name of this distro [17:35] mbnoimi: ubuntu touch, discussion for it is in #ubuntu-touch [17:35] Joaosantana: I compiled the suggested version and the ./config in libquicktime still says lame is missing. [17:36] hitsujiTMO: thx [17:36] compdoc, I dont know much about ubuntu i'm afraid, I certainly dont know what vino is. I recognize x11rdp, I think i'm using xrdp. is that the same thing? === daniel is now known as Guest2038 [17:37] Hi all. I've asked on #lubuntu already and haven't gotten much help. I recently upgraded from lubuntu 13.04 to 13.10 and now gnome-keyring-daemon no longer works, it prompts me to enter my key passphrase every time I SSH. gnome-keyring-daemon is indeed running in the background though. Any ideas? [17:38] helo [17:38] I have a package that has a dependency on ia32-libs [17:38] how can i build my own ubuntu-based distro from scratch? [17:38] I'm assuming it's meant for an older release... I'm on saucy [17:38] I think I have the libs it needs; is there a way to convince it that it doesn't need ia32-libs? [17:39] rtdos, Google is your friend. Your question is outside the scope of this chat room, and pertains to the entire GNU Linux OS, not specifically Ubuntu. [17:39] rtdos, http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ [17:39] Hi guys.. I've just installed unbuntu 13.10 on a new lenvo w530 -- works brilliantly up until I attach a second monitor. Here's what happens on my second monitor https://www.dropbox.com/s/mwydc0vz75o85fo/2013-10-20%2023.46.58.jpg any idea how to sort this out? [17:40] why would it be outside the scope of this chatroom? wouldn't there be a utility in the repositories to get me started? [17:40] mikael_: compdoc, what exactly are yee running on a server that requires an xserver? [17:40] rtdos: why would there be? [17:40] Whoever did the change to the development table probably forgot to change the release number: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [17:40] Guest2038, do you have the NVidia graphics on the laptop, or just intel? [17:40] Guest2038, have you checked different drivers? === panda-pc is now known as sergios [17:41] Its nvidia === Guest2038 is now known as DannyboyMT === DannyboyMT is now known as DannyboyMT_ === radioiaaneg is now known as Radioiaaneg [17:41] benzrf, m3kkk, jpedroza2k: something simlilar to 'Ubuntu Desktop CD Customizer' perhaps? [17:41] what other drivers can I try? [17:42] rtdos, you mean just cherrypick packages to install/not install? I thought you wanted to build from scratch with ubuntu as base [17:42] Guest2038, If it is the NVidia Optimus I had to install bumblebee to get mine to work. [17:43] m3kk: yes cherrypick my own packages so that i can replicate them on other machines. [17:43] DannyboyMT_, I had to use bumblebee-project.org on mine. [17:43] rtdos, http://lifehacker.com/5921054/ubuntu-builder-lets-you-build-your-own-customized-linux-distribution [17:43] jpedroza2k, hi i'm guest2038 just changed nick. How can I check i it's NVidia Optimus -- as far as i know its a quadro graphics card. [17:43] m3kk: thanks. [17:44] DannyboyMT_, if you have the intel graphics as well, there is a good chance it is Optimus. [17:44] DannyboyMT_, I think lspci will show the card and then you can check if it is. [17:44] rtdos, i know you wanted ubuntu but this looks awesome aswell: http://lifehacker.com/5370209/use-suse-studio-to-build-a-linux-os-from-scratch [17:44] hitsujiTMO, I simly need something so that me and my friends can use rdp from our windows machines to the server.We're new to ubuntu and linux in general and not very familiar with the terminal yet :) If there's an easier way or better way, please enlighten me! [17:45] m3kk: i've used susestudio and love it. surprised canonical hasn't done anything similar yet. :) [17:45] jpedroza2k, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107GLM [Quadro K1000M] (rev a1) [17:45] rtdos, lookup on debootstrap.. you can build a minimal ubuntu with that [17:45] would make mass installations of ubuntu easier. :) [17:45] i will krux, thanks. [17:46] mikael_: well i can understand if you're not familiar with console commands. but once you get used to it you'll find it quite powerful in comparison to the gui [17:46] DannyboyMT_, Looks like it is Optimus, check out bumblebee-project.org [17:46] is koffice package not available anymore? [17:47] thanks jpedroza2k one last question because everytime i mess with graphics card drivers I mess up the system and have to re-install. If this fails how do i rollback? [17:47] I always end up doing a fresh re-install when i touch the graphics drivers [17:48] just remove the bumblebee software. === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [17:48] ok thanks :) [17:48] i'll try this out. [17:48] DannyboyMT_, if you bork it, remember that +f1 will bring up a tty session that you can use to fix it, [17:49] DannyboyMT_, That should be ++f1 [17:49] thanks :) [17:49] how do you upgrade the flash plugin? [17:50] hatchetjack: there is no update for flash on linux [17:51] hatchetjack: one thing you could try is chrome. that got an own flash plugin [17:51] Use Chrome, it should have it built in if you're having problems on Firefox or whatever. [17:51] k [17:51] thankee [17:51] hatchetjack, there is a flash plugin installer [17:51] hatchetjack, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [17:52] yeah I got flash installed [17:52] but the amazon prime claims it's not new enough [17:52] ahhhhh [17:52] so then it recommends upgradin it [17:52] but that's difficult [17:52] It looks like Amazon Prime has HTML5 support [17:53] ubuntu 13.10 is bad [17:53] hitsujiTMO, I guess that's true. That doesnt change the fact that it doesn't work though. :( [17:54] hatchetjack: adobe do not support flash on linux anymore. the flashplugin-installer installs the official binary which is no longer updated [17:55] hitsujiTMO: ahhh [17:55] E: Package 'virtualgl' has no installation candidate <--- are the bumbleebee instructions incorrect? [17:55] Wheez: how do enable in firefox? [17:57] wheez: hatchetjack: proprietary codecs are not available in firefox which may be used by amazon primes html5 implementation [17:57] well that sucks [17:57] want the prime [17:58] hatchetjack: sorry, I got that wrong. As far as I can tell there may not be amazon video in html5. There are a lot of complaints about that [17:58] ah [17:58] hatchetjack: the easiest method is install chrome as was stated earlier [17:58] it use to work in the firefox [17:58] but I reinstalled my OS [17:58] hitsujiTMO: yeah I'll do that [17:59] any idea why virtualgl is not available in apt-get ? [18:00] DannyboyMT_: probably not on official repository. [18:02] !info virtualgl [18:02] Package virtualgl does not exist in saucy [18:02] DannyboyMT_: its no official package === dean is now known as dean|away [18:14] hej ni som har uppdaterat till 13.04 är det oxå en unity fast bättre?

[18:15] gna! can anyone tell me why selecting the qtcreator package for installation involves nearly 1.2gb of package dependencies such as "claws-mail, codeblocks, dovecot, etc." wtf?! [18:16] (in ubuntu 13.10 that is) [18:16] How do I wake ubuntu 13.10 up from sleep without turning it off. [18:16] ? [18:20] Hi. My friend installed a system on his on computer. He installed the latest Nvidia driver. He save his system as a non-installable live cd with his user name and password. With this there is 1366x768 resolution in the menu. If I install the same system to my computer I have only 1280x720 and the next option is the 1920x1080. Where is the files in his system that I can copy to mine? [18:20] voyager-x01: Do you have the same computers? [18:21] sorry... installing qtcreator involves 2.6gb of dependencies - looks like someone messed up the package dependencies real hard. Can anyone confirm if they have the same issue on their machine (without installing all the required crap of cours) [18:21] So his live system on my old radeon gpu HAS the option (not same computers) and a freshly installed system doesn't [18:22] voyager-x01, does it happen that you and your friend have different monitors with different aspect-ratio by any chance? [18:22] His nem Nvidia card does something to the system resolution setting. How can I tranfer it to my computer? Which file cause this effect? [18:24] HI I have created an iso image which automated ubuntu installer via dvd, my assumption is this iso should be isohybrid so I can cp to usb, and use usb to auto install the image, but it failed. any help please [18:24] ezra-s: My PC is old P4 cpu old radeon GPU, new 16:9 lcd display. His PC is new everything. [18:26] Is here anyone that know the ubuntu based filesystem, and know which folder contains the screen resolution setting? [18:26] voyager-x01, lcd display 16:9 matches 1920x1080 and 1280x720 [18:26] voyager-x01, nowadays screen resolutions is auto-detected, that's why I'm asking you if you and your friend have both the same supported aspect-ratios [18:27] ezra-s: I know buddy, but on 1920 everything is too small and on 1280 everithing a bit big [18:27] I want at least one option betwen the two. I think it's not a big question nowdays [18:27] voyager-x01, that's not the point, you can increase icon sizes and font sizes or decrease when needed === GingerGeek is now known as GingerGeek[Away] [18:28] voyager-x01, if you want all resolutions your display support check /var/log/Xorg.0.log output [18:28] but when a read a site there a thin line in the middle with texts and wide bright white side which kills my eyes [18:29] I did. I noticed a differenc. Do you think if i change it it will work? [18:29] voyager-x01, nvidia display driver should show you a list of correct ones, unless there is a problem detecting the display (too old?) in which case the best solution imho is to know the horizontal and vertical range of the monitor and specify it manually in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [18:29] i want to install ubuntu 13.10 on my externall hdd but i dont want to go through the headache of grub being messed up so i have to use the something else option [18:29] what partitions do i need and wht types [18:30] But i also want to make an installable live cd so a ditro with remastersys so all my relatives and friends can install on their PC.

[18:52] hitsujiTMO: oh boy, thanks [18:53] hi. i have a old p4 1.2gb ram computer. i am trying the xubuntu live session and it has working surprisingly smooth! but the wallpaper and some graphic glitches are there. those are normally solve on my earlier winxp machine by installing the intel extreme graphics from their site. for mint 15 with mate i used the intel driver something.deb file to get those drivers without any problem. but i read that those have discountinued. so have do install the [18:53] graphics drivers? === sporkeee is now known as wilee-nilee [18:53] does ubuntu support hdmi audio? === randomnick is now known as smith_y [18:54] hi [18:54] yes, audio over hdmi works fine [18:54] Guest74169: yes, but you need to insure you have drivers that work [18:54] im usring the open source ones [18:54] Since a few weeks when I watch a video (tried vlc, kaffeine, mplayer) a horizontal line in always the same spot is flickering. Iam using the "radeon" driver for my graphic card ati hd 7750. The driver package is already preinstalled on ubuntu (xserver-xorg-video-ati). I have ubuntu 13.10 installed. I can exclude a hardware issue, because if I boot the same system in windows I don't have the flickering issue. [18:55] hitsujiTMO, im using the opensource ones [18:55] Guest74169: you may want to lookup if the audio is supported by the open drivers [18:55] If I pause the video I never see the flickering. It is only seen when playing the video. Also in non action video scenes there is also no flickering. This is my xorg.0.log http://ix.io/8BP [18:55] What could I try to resolve the problem [18:56] hi. sorry to ask again. but getting a little desperate. how to find p4 intel graphics drivers for 13.10?

[20:28] Ken_: so what you really want "downgrade xubuntu from 13.04 to 12.04" right? [20:28] it's been formatted...I installed via ide/usb from my desktop xubuntu 12 [20:28] 13 [20:28] that may do it [20:28] Ken_: Have you looked for a BIOS update? [20:28] jhutchins_: yes most current is 1.3 === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM [20:29] no other available [20:30] Ken_: Have you looked at plop? [20:30] not familiar with plop [20:30] everything after 12.04 only supports pae on i386? [20:31] i thought only i386 was removed and not i586 is needed [20:31] s/not/now [20:31] I followed this tutorial, and was able to fix my problem, but now i dont have terminal, ubuntu software center, apps. And i also had to install unity, since it was also not installed. http://askubuntu.com/questions/17381/unity-doesnt-load-no-launcher-no-dash-appears [20:31] iceroot_: true..issue is trying to make stuff work using sudo apt-get install -f gives bunch of no depencency issues [20:31] it looks like some of my software was deleted, but i didnt do that [20:31] Thanks [20:32] when installing ubuntu which FS should i use? [20:32] jhutchins_: what does plop do for me? [20:32] mr-digital: ext4 is the default [20:32] mr-digital: ext4 unless you have a reason to use anything else [20:33] i have 500 gig hdd how much swap partition should i make? [20:33] i have 4GB of Ram [20:34] mr-digital: if you want suspend/hibernate then you'll need swap to at least equal ram [20:34] should i make a swap space of 10gigs? [20:34] mr-digital: 10gb seems rather wasteful to me [20:34] mr-digital: 4gb [20:35] ok [20:35] mr-digital: why not use the ubuntu defaults? [20:35] because i am not formating my whole hard drive [20:35] have other partitions [20:36] mr-digital: then create ONE free area and let ubuntu create the partitions inside that area [20:36] mr-digital on my pre-installed ubuntu swap takes 7.45GiB [20:36] iceroot how do i do that? [20:36] Ken_: plop is supposed to be a solution for systems that can't boot from optical/usb [20:36] mr-digital: just make sure there is unassigned free space on the partition and start the installer and tell ubuntu to use the free area on the hdd === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [20:37] iceroot, doing that [20:37] the isntaller says [20:37] jhutchins_: got it, while waiting was reading up on it, does it replace grub? [20:37] mr-digital: The old rule was 2x RAM, but you don't want the system to try to manage 8G of swap - if you ever get that far into it you have other problems. [20:37] no root filesystem is define please correct this frmo the patitioning menu [20:37] mr-digital: My preference, especially if I don't know how the system will be used, is to have sway + one partition. [20:38] mr-digital: The default multi-partition is archaic and obsolete. [20:38] so i cant do what iceroot says? [20:38] mr-digital: You can, but if you want to tweak it I would recommend doing so. [20:39] jhutchins what? [20:39] Ken_: I don't think plop replaces grub, I think it's only for the installation. === bean_ is now known as Guest94987 [20:39] jhutchins: imo ubuntu is using / and swap, nothing more [20:39] jhutchins: that is what my 12.04 and 12.10 installations did [20:39] mr-digital: Yes, you can do what iceroot says. [20:39] how do i do that? [20:39] it won't let me [20:39] it keeps saying [20:39] no root filesystem is define please correct this frmo the patitioning menu [20:39] iceroot: I thought it still did liek 4 partitons, /, /var, and /home. Been a while since I ran it. [20:40] OK, I'll give er a try...everytime I try to install ANYTHING using software update it says "file system broken" [20:40] Ken_, plop does not rplace a boot loader in linux you would use it from a disc, in windows you install it, but it just for the usb boot. [20:40] mr-digital: that means you haven'y picked a partition to use as / [20:40] i did [20:40] jhutchins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6279219/ [20:40] jhutchins: / and swap [20:40] if i make a partition / [20:41] it tells me no swap has been created please go back to create swap partition or continue without one [20:41] mr-digital: ubuntu will detect that you have free (unassigned) space and will ask if it should use the whole free area [20:41] nope iceroot [20:41] mr-digital: you are doing the manual way but i was saying use the automated way [20:41] if i do that i get [20:41] no root filesystem is define please correct this frmo the patitioning menu [20:41] mr-digital: strange [20:42] im installign 12.04LTS [20:42] how do i create swap partition manually? [20:42] mr-digital: create a partition and mark is as swap (its inside this partition tool in the installer) [20:42] mr-digital: imo it was partition type [20:42] there is no swap option [20:43] is there a way to force a .deb to reinstall all files with it? [20:43] this is getting weird [20:43] deluxe247, this a deb used due to the app not being in the repos? [20:43] got it [20:43] tnx hitsujiTMO [20:44] wilee-nilee: no, latest version of package.

[20:54] !dist-upgrade | a_muva_ [20:54] a_muva_: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [20:54] a_muva_: i think the synaptic update is a dist-upgrade.

[20:56] Ken_, you might be able to do it over a network using a network boot [20:56] If I can figure out how to do it through a netboot I'll give it a try [20:56] euxneks...read my mind [20:57] Ken_, wish I could help you more on that though :\ Never attempted that myself (yet) [20:57] I don't want users to be able to add things to rc.local. Is it enough just to make that file only readable and writable for root? [20:57] The initial issue was trying to install an os that supported non-pae processor [20:57] JoeyJoeJo: Users do not have those permissions, except they are using sudo. [20:58] a_muva_: nope, on ubuntu that's "do-release-upgrade" [20:58] which means downgrading existing 13.4 to 12.0 xubuntu [20:58] ok thanks all slainte [21:00] so [21:01] about this 12.10 thing [21:01] 12.04.3 is LTS most recent right right?

[21:02] Hi, I am trying to edit my xorg.conf to get it working with Intel 4000 video, does anyone know what driver I need to use in xorg.conf? [21:02] !xorgconf | Psychephylax [21:02] Psychephylax: The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is deprecated, but sometimes may still be needed to pass values to specific drivers.

[21:08] mr-digital: it shouldn't take longer than when you booted into the install media [21:09] auronandace something is wrong then [21:11] so .. how come xorg.conf is deprecated ? [21:11] yes [21:11] long time now [21:11] /70/36 [21:11] ok so why does ubuntu boot up right away on the live CD [21:11] but then where's the config stored? (kinda noob here) [21:11] but its taking forever when i installed it [21:12] mr-digital: xorg is dynamic now, but it can either be put into an xorg.conf which will be read, or a modular file format [21:12] ikonia what are you talking about?

[21:22] jeah interesting [21:22] jeah [21:22] imma Debian PPC [21:22] on da iMac G3 [21:22] xd [21:22] the first attempt with the nvidia kept crashing [21:22] immq web srvr [21:22] xd [21:22] #debian PowerPCG3 [21:22] jeej [21:23] I'm in a quandry. Has anyone every run ubuntu with just Awesome window manager, and how much of a pain was it to get that up and running? [21:23] sht [21:23] u must shut da fuckup [21:23] u no match my powerness [21:23] How do I upgrade ubuntu to 13.10 via software updater? should I just keep upgrading packages to see distribution update? [21:23] Hello. After upgrading from LTS 10.04 to LTS 12.04 I got severe performance issues. Everything is really slow, it takes almost a second to alt-tab between windows and when playing back videos toggling mplayer’s fullscreen (which doesn’t work, btw) causes the video to interrupt. Any idea where to look for the problem? [21:24] Hi. Howto Reset/Zero GnomeSystemMonitor traffic meter? [21:24] vlt: are you using unity? [21:24] hitsujiTMO: How to know? [21:25] vlt are you using the default ubuntu desktop environment? [21:25] hitsujiTMO: Before I had gnome. This has icons on the left. Maybe it’s unity, yes. [21:27] vlt you need to disable background blur ... should be able to do it by isntalling unity-tweak-tool and look thru it ... anywhere you see background blur turn it off [21:29] hitsujiTMO: Maybe I should find out first WHY I need to disable background blur, shouldn’t I? [21:30] has anyone had this issue with an external monitor? [21:31] http://i.imgur.com/UZWMpQO.jpg [21:31] cursor does not refresh properly.. it will refresh if I click though. [21:32] vlt: its a common issue for anyone with a low power graphics chipset. background blur comes into play in the search menu and the alt-tab switcher. [21:32] wien stinks on ubuntu sofar [21:32] Im kinda pissed [21:32] can get vmware clinet to work [21:32] bleh [21:32] and gnome is hellish mac liek experience [21:33] hitsujiTMO: it's a new lenovo w530 laptop ! dont think its underpowered [21:33] man [21:33] This channel is useless [21:33] hi! === sam113101_afk is now known as sam113101 [21:33] hitsujiTMO: Maybe it’s a video driver issue. [21:34] crocket: you want to be able to upgrade to 13.10? [21:34] How can I find out whether I’m using the correct video friver? [21:34] *driver [21:34] vlt: Do you see graphics on the screen? [21:35] jhutchins: I see the unity desktop, yes. But everything is soo slooow. [21:35] vlt what graphics chiset do you have? [21:35] Then you are using _a_ correct video driver at least. [21:35] hitsujiTMO: ATI Radeon HD 5450 (or something like that) [21:35] vlt: Is the resolution good? [21:35] jhutchins: Yes. [21:36] vlt: Chances are it's not the driver then. [21:36] vlt, is your card still supported by the amd driver? [21:36] vlt: RAM? CPU? [21:36] jhutchins: It’s the native display resolution. [21:36] vlt, what driver are you using [21:36] jhutchins: 8 GB, AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ [21:36] kostkon: The wrong driver will either not work or not render a decent resolution. [21:36] kostkon: I don’t know. How to find out? [21:37] vlt, system systems -> software sources -> last tab [21:37] jhutchins, it could also give terrible performance [21:38] vlt, system settings* [21:38] kostkon: Usually that's only noticible on high-graphics operations, 3D, Gaming, things like that. [21:38] jhutchins, unity is 3d [21:38] vlt: I suppose you could turn off all of the desktop effects. If that fixes it, you might want to try the proprietary drivers. [21:39] jhutchins: lsmod lists neither radeon nor fglrx [21:39] kostkon: If unity won't run without high-end accelleration.... well, that would explain it's popularity [21:39] vlt: Graphics driver != kernel module. [21:40] jhutchins, it runs but it uses the cpu to render the 3d graphics and usually the performance is kinda bad [21:40] vlt: check your xorg.0.log [21:40] Is there a way to mount exfat partitions on 12.04 [21:40] vlt: You can figure out from /var/log/Xorg.0.log on xorg.... not sure what unity uses. [21:40] or do I have to do a dist upgrade [21:40] hi [21:40] how do I insert and position a table in libreoffice writer? [21:40] when I insert one it just creates a "full width" table [21:40] jhutchins, i mean without 3d support. it runs fine on low end systems if there is good driver support. runs fine on netbook with gma3150 [21:40] g0th better ask in #libreoffice [21:40] nobody is there :( [21:41] <__raven> any way to limit the lines in a file while appending? a txt should always only contain the 10 last lines [21:41] kostkon: So 3D acceleration being off shouldn't hurt it's performance on a Radeon. [21:41] g0th the openoffice channel, maybe? [21:41] g0th: Mailing lists. [21:41] jhutchins, it should because the card sits idle and cpu does all the work [21:41] the* [21:42] kostkon: But that's the same as on a system that doesn't have the hardware for it. [21:43] jhutchins, yeah, i guess [21:43] http://i.imgur.com/UZWMpQO.jpg <--- what is this??, if I have a video or something that refreshes requently this stops!! should I just keep a never ending video running to get this sorted out lol???? [21:43] Still, the test is valid, disable all 3D effects, if that fixes it, try the 3D acceleration. [21:44] vlt, is there any driver listed in software sources [21:45] g0th what's wrong with Insert > Table ? [21:45] after upgrading to 13.10, with apache 2.4, i can no longer have a directory with a dot in the filename on my localhost without causing conflict with mod_rewrite. for instance, http://localhost/mysite.com will ignore the .htaccess file within it. i have no clue what could be different than my 12.10 apache2 setup. ideas? [21:46] jhutchins: Something seems to be wrong with the driver. xvinfo says "no adaptor present" === Tabstar is now known as Tabmow [21:47] MonkeyDust: the table width is just the whole width [21:47] And I get BadRequest from fglrxinfo [21:47] but I want it to be indented like the remaining text === jono is now known as Guest78132 [21:47] MonkeyDust: something like "relative position" in html [21:47] kostkon: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6279559/ [21:47] kostkon: My Xorg.0.log [21:47] I mean css [21:48] g0th right click inside the table > Table... [21:49] g0th right click inside the table > Table... > Columns [21:49] vlt: Yeah, sounds like it's misconfigured. [21:49] vlt, how many drivers are there in software sources -> last tab? [21:50] kostkon: I couldn’t find software sources yet. [21:50] vlt: Do you have fglrx (dpkg -l fglrx)? [21:50] vlt, in system settings or in softwrae centre, select edit -> software sources from the menu [21:50] jhutchins: yes [21:51] vlt: Work with kostkon then, I think he can help you and I have to leave soon. [21:51] kostkon: main restricted universe multiverse partner [21:51] vlt, last tab [21:51] jhutchins: KTHXBY [21:52] kostkon: last tab is statistics [21:52] whois kostkon [21:52] vlt, what version of ubuntu??? [21:52] weird? [21:52] vlt, is it some old version maybe? [21:52] vlt what's the output of cat /etc/issue [21:52] hitsujiTMO, :P [21:53] kostkon, MonkeyDust: Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS [21:53] MonkeyDust: I was hoping it would do it automatically [21:53] similar to css tables [21:53] divs I mean [21:54] vlt, then ok ignore that, select additional drivers under system settings === Rav3nSw0rd is now known as Rav3n [21:54] kostkon: ok [21:54] vlt, or search for it in the dash [21:56] kostkon: It says that NO proprietary driver is used. [21:56] kostkon: And offers several to choose from. [21:56] vlt, nice. choose wisely then :P [21:57] vlt, and then reboot [21:57] vlt, amd ones i assume [21:58] still experincing lockup at purple screen [21:58] 12.04LTS any ideas? [21:59] I'm struggling to find the deactivate amazon in the smart scopes on 13.10. I see the filter option in the dash, but it re-activates amazon everytime I reopen the dash. how are filters made permanent? [21:59] kostkon: It’s all ATI/AMD. The first is just called fglrx driver, then come three with **experimental** flag, then one with something I’d translate to additional or subsequent updates. [21:59] mr-digital: are you getting the lockup with nomodeset ? [21:59] vlt, hmm try the first one? what do you think [21:59] no0p_: so far i'm only been able to disable them globally [22:00] kostkon: I have nfc, that’s why I’m asking here. [22:00] vlt, ? [22:00] hitsujiTMO yes [22:00] hitsujiTMO, how is that done? [22:00] sometime it boots sometimes it doesnt [22:01] how can i see whats going on behind the purple screen? [22:01] kostkon: I chose the first one. === badass_ is now known as Guest10059 [22:01] What video hardware should I use if I wanted performance without prorietary drivers? [22:01] vlt, ok [22:01] vlt, intel [22:01] no0p_: system settings -> security & privacy -> search -> disable include online search results [22:02] i dont even get the ubuntu screen with loading dots [22:02] blank purple screen [22:02] hitsujiTMO, thanks. that is a bummer. would be nice to have filters preserved at finer granularity [22:03] no0p_: i'm sure someone will eventually come up with a hack for it [22:03] kostkon: FAILED: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6279616/ [22:03] hitsujiTMO, it's weird because I'm reading articles that show an amazon scope settings [22:03] !nomodeset | mr-digital try the different settings here [22:03] mr-digital try the different settings here: 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 [22:03] any ideas? [22:03] hitsujiTMO i tried that [22:04] vlt, apt-cache policy fglrx [22:04] hitsujiTMO, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Screen-Shot-2013-10-15-at-11.36.26-750x480.png [22:04] vlt, also you could try the last option [22:04] what is $vt_handshake? [22:04] mr-digital: did you try to change the splash background? [22:05] deezed this is a fresh install [22:05] kostkon: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6279623/ [22:05] mr-digital: boot to recovery and have a look at /var/log/dmesg for any errors [22:05] $vt_handoff what is that? [22:05] i did see one [22:05] mr-digital: which? [22:05] but recovery hangs at black screen [22:05] no0p_: that text may not have been updated since 13.04 ... you could file a bug report on it :P [22:05] mr-digital: when you tried the live cd, it was ok, right? [22:06] right [22:06] i can boot as many times as i want into liveCD [22:06] boots just fine [22:06] after i installed it === gallomimia is now known as Gallomimia [22:06] bamn lockup at purple screen [22:06] mr-digital: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:06] sorry [22:06] mr-digital: you have any text msg like fatal error, or something? [22:06] nope [22:06] vlt, close the additional drivers window, then try: sudo apt-get clean and then sudo apt-get install fglrx --reinstall? [22:07] mr-digital: you could boot to live cd, mount the filesystem and check the logs that way [22:07] mr-digital: do you have a dual boot? [22:07] whden i was able to run recovery i got something about conflitcing vga and intel renmoving generic driver [22:07] deezed no === jswagner_ is now known as jswagner [22:07] kostkon: Still trying the last option. [22:07] ok [22:07] mr-digital: what graphics chipset(s) do you have? [22:07] mr-digital: I would boot from a live-cd and try a dpkg-reconfigure -a [22:07] Intel [22:07] kostkon: Thanks for not giving up by now :-) [22:08] vlt, np [22:08] hitsujiTMO, found it. [22:08] http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201201-10397/ [22:08] thats my system [22:08] hitsujiTMO, ok so it turns out you go to the application tab in the dash, then under the types on the filter bar, you select dash plugins. that loads config options on per scope level. === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [22:08] I have to say, I really like the smart scopes [22:08] kostkon: Can you give me an example for an Intel video card I could buy to replace this ATI? [22:09] a lot. it's brilliant. but the control of the commerce in my dash needs to be controllable in an easy way. in other words, I'm happy to shop on amazon through the dash, but should be able to turn on and off really easily. [22:09] kostkon: It failed again [22:09] mr-digital: do you know if you need a driver for your video card? [22:09] i have an external usb-hd (formally a network drive) which is formatted in xfs format. how can i mount the drive so that i can back everything up from it to another drive? the nic card on this drive went both feet in the grave. [22:09] vlt, try the above [22:09] a non-pre-installed one [22:09] kostkon: I’ll try the CLI version, yes. [22:09] deezed no need for driver [22:10] vlt, only if you buy a new i3 i5 or i7 system [22:10] hitsujiTMO how do i read logs from liveCD [22:10] liveCD is booting just fine [22:11] mr-digital: mount the filesystem: mount -t ext4 /dev/sda1 /mnt [22:11] mr-digital: why don't you try boot from live cd and do a chroot to reconfigure packages and view logs? [22:12] mr-digital: then just go to /mnt/var/log/dmesg instead of /var/log/dmesg [22:12] ok holdon [22:12] booting into liveCD [22:14] what am i looking for in dmesg [22:15] anythng that looks like an error ... prob towards the end if there is one [22:15] you can pastebin it here maybe [22:15] no errors [22:16] Is there a known issue with the linux-server package for 12.04.3? [22:16] mr-digital: sorry to be annoying, but did you try a chroot? [22:16] deezed how do i do that? [22:17] mr-digital: as deezed said might be a good idea to pastebin the log here [22:17] hitsujiTMO ok holdon [22:17] my dist-upgrade is wedged on linux-image-3.2.0-55-generic [22:17] mr-digital: since also post Xorg.0.log [22:18] Majost: what exactly do you mean? is there a specific error? === greeter is now known as that [22:18] ah [22:18] nm [22:18] just realized /boot is full [22:18] =P [22:18] im installing an ubuntu virtual machine on my macbook. should i use the 32-bit ubuntu .ISO or the 64-bit ISO [22:19] l000p3d: thats really up to what you want to do with it [22:19] mr-digital: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1156240 there is a fast explanation of how to do a chroot here [22:19] l000p3d: Do you have close to 4GB RAM? [22:20] my macbook has 4GB ram exact [22:20] l000p3d: 64 bit, no doubt [22:20] thank u :) [22:20] is 4GB ram good/decent for a computer [22:20] l000p3d: that depends on what you do with it [22:20] l000p3d: 4gb would be considered entry level now [22:20] oh ok [22:21] hitsujiTMO: lots of ultrabooks only have 4gb [22:21] http://pastebin.com/9LEhWypV [22:22] should i reinstall and see if that fixes it? [22:22] SunTsu: yes, 4gb is the lowest you can get on a new system now. its entry level, but doesn't mean its useless [22:23] hitsujiTMO: agreed [22:23] mr-digital: fix what exactly? [22:23] help me please, there is no sound coming out of my headphones [22:23] im on ubuntu 13.04 [22:23] im in alsamixer but idk what to do [22:24] SunTsu im getting a lockup on blank purple screen [22:24] as soon as it boots into ubuntu [22:24] im using VIM - Vi IMproved 7.3, i think this can pre installed with 12.04lts.. there's now .vimrc in my ~ however, do i have to make one of my own? [22:24] mr-digital: since its a fresh install, I dont see anyproblem by reinstall it, it would be fast btw. But I still think that maybe 'dpkg-reconfigure -a' can help you somehow [22:24] mr-digital, nothing wrong there it seems, can you post Xorg.0.log [22:24] ok hitsujiTMO [22:25] xorg_0.log is 0 bytes [22:25] hazeyez: did you try to open the terminal, and run 'alsamixer' and try to unmute the headphones? [22:25] ozette: yes. .vimrc is for personalisations [22:25] s/can/came s/now/no [22:26] mr-digital: thats the one in /mnt/var/log/ ? [22:26] hazeyez: just go to headphones colunm and press 'm' and put the volume at max [22:26] hitsujiTMO, i see.. but so, the preinstall doesn't provide a .vimrc? [22:26] hitsujiTMO yes [22:26] deezed: yes it says 00 instead of MM, [22:26] hazeyez: yes, so press m [22:26] im installing an ubuntu virtual machine with the intent to run a web server. when setting up the VM, it says "Networking: Shared With My Mac (NAT) [22:26] is this okay> [22:26] hazeyez: it doesnt work?

[22:44] deezed: ok give me a second please, now theres no sound coming from the speakers or headphones [22:44] let me get in alsamixer [22:44] deezed: I installed ubuntu studio on top of ubuntu 13.04. I rebooted, and I have no sound. [22:45] SunTsu: i'm having issues with dhelp/dwww so would i either link /usr/share/doc to /usr/share/cgi-bin or /var/www ? [22:45] help_me: I'm not sure if Ubuntu studio is using cadence or not, can you check if you have cadence installed? [22:45] hitsujiTMO http://paste.ubuntu.com/6279786/ [22:45] give me a sec... [22:46] * help_me is going to see if jack works [22:46] xckpd7: samba is the normal windows fileshares protocol. its built into most os's. webdav is designed for transfering over http and has massive overhead in comparison to other file sharing protocols. also webdav would require the installation of a client on your friends machine [22:46] Hey; I just installed 13.10 onto my workstation running on an XFS root partition. It now won't boot, and I'm not sure how to get it back to booting === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [22:46] aurynn: you could try to run a boot-repair [22:47] gdos: I don't know what dhelp/dwww means so I don't know [22:47] jumfernandez: looks like the system isnt even seeing the device at all [22:47] help_me: do you? [22:47] deezed, what is this boot-repair thing? [22:47] dhelp and dwww are packages to view man and info pages (as well as other installed documentation) online through a web-browser. [22:47] jumfernandez: are you sure its working? [22:47] I dont see candace running [22:48] Best CAD software that I can install that is free? [22:48] hmm [22:48] aurynn: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [22:48] !best | unstable [22:48] unstable: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [22:48] deezed, ta [22:48] Best is defined by the person who replies to my question. [22:48] eg, in your opinion [22:49] My question is still valid, even if semantic nazis complain. [22:49] sorry hitsujiTMO, here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6279797/ this it's the correct, sorry [22:49] unstable: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEngineering#CAD [22:49] help_me: ok, so did you try to run jack and start it from there? [22:49] deezed: not working man, there is sound coming out of the speakers but not the headphones [22:49] I will try [22:49] so my grub got messed up and i had to use boot-repair to fix, but now it boots into directly into windows, how do i fix that, in boot-repairs infinitd wisdom the grub options are grayed out and unavailable... [22:49] for it to comeout of the speakers i need to go in alsamixer and adjust it [22:50] unstable: stop the drama immediately [22:50] hitsujiTMO not appear nothing of the tp-link, not realtek too. [22:50] jumfernandez: if its usb then it should show up under lsusb [22:50] SOMEONE HELP ME FIX IT SO I CAN BOOT INTO UBUNTU AND NOT JUST WINDOWS http://paste.ubuntu.com/6279801/ [22:50] hazeyez: I know is a stupid question, but did you try to check with other headphones? and also tried to reboot the machine? [22:51] chare: no need for caps. volunteers will help if they can [22:51] k1l you are the volunteer expert? [22:52] chare, on that matter, I would say yes, k1l is an expert [22:52] aurynn: did you figure the things out? [22:52] sorry hitsujiTMO, here it's the 'lsusb' command line: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6279815/ [22:52] deezed: yes i tried other headphones, no im going to reboot right now [22:52] deezed, it seems to be hanging on probing [22:52] k1l you know how to fix my problem? [22:53] kostkon: Nope [22:53] aurynn: you will probably have to boot it from a live cd, install boot-repair, and then run it [22:53] kostkon: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6279818/ [22:53] hazeyez: ok, let us know then [22:53] deezed: so now there is audio coming from the speakers and not the headphones again... let me reboot ill be back, thanks for the help [22:53] 12.04.1 FRESH install bam locked up [22:53] deezed, yup, on a livecd and running it from there [22:53] livecd is 13.10 as well [22:53] how can i remove thes splash so i can see whats happening? [22:53] chare: i am not sure boot repair works with btrfs partitions [22:53] OMG [22:53] aurynn: yeap. [22:53] are you serious that btrfs is not supported? [22:54] help_me: so? [22:54] nope [22:54] kostkon: kernel: 3.2.0-55-generic-pae, dpkg -l: ii linux-source 3.2.0.55.65 [22:54] deezed, I'll let it churn for a bit. :) [22:55] I fixed it. YAY [22:55] jumfernandez: do there 2 lines of code do anything? http://paste.ubuntu.com/6279833/ [22:55] mr-digtal: try removing plymouth, maybe? [22:55] what was the prob? [22:55] Legimet how?> [22:55] aurynn: ok [22:55] kostkon: xvinfo or fglrxinfo still throw errors. [22:56] SunTsu: how do i mount -t null ? [22:56] Hi. Can I install a 64 bit kernel on a 32 bit system to be able to chroot into a 64 bit env? [22:57] could EFI be the culprit? [22:57] mr-digital: try chrooting and sudo apt-get remove plymouth [22:57] Wasn’t there an -amd64 version? [22:57] mr-digital: well, if grub worked, efi is not the culprit [22:57] thank you [22:57] mr-digital: btw after chrooting, you can try different things that can fix everything up [22:58] !chroot | mr-digital [22:58] mr-digital: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [22:59] gdos: I was slightly wrong, it's mount -o bind - just substitute and [22:59] deezed: i'm all set bro thank you, the restart did it [22:59] hazeyez: lol! it always helps with sound [22:59] after i type nomodeset do i hit f10? [23:00] SunTsu: I will try that. [23:00] deezed: im in xchat, when i quit how do i put a quit message [23:00] i usually type /quit but i cant see the message [23:00] there is a way to set a default quit message as well if you prefer [23:00] hazeyez: I'm not sure, sorry.. dont know much about xchat [23:01] hazeyez: try #xchat [23:01] thanks [23:01] i;m looking now i'm in xchat [23:02] what if chrooting doesnt work? [23:02] mr-digital: iif you get rid of plymouth, you can at least see the problem [23:03] mr-digital: It didnt? [23:03] ok ok [23:03] i finally got into recovery mode kind of [23:03] after couple of reboots [23:03] but recovery hangs on [23:03] mr-digital: remember, before remove plymouth, try to reconfigure packages [23:03] and im guessing normal boot hangs on this too === dv__ is now known as dv_ [23:03] on what? [23:04] fb:conflicting fb hw usage inteldrmfb vs efi vga - removing generic driver [23:05] mr-digital: http://askubuntu.com/questions/169912/fb-conflicting-fb-hw-usage-inteldrmfb-vs-efi-vga-removing-generic-driver [23:05] mr-digital: it's a graphics issue [23:05] im on that now [23:05] deezed: it appears that xchat is no longer updated, what is another option that you reccomend for irc on linux [23:05] Anyone know any quick trick to check if your ppa repos in sources.list.d have support for particular ubuntu version? [23:05] that worked [23:05] im now booting [23:05] hazeyez: hexchat [23:06] wtf did that cause it [23:06] excalibr, not really check them on their web pages [23:06] :| [23:07] I just installed 12.04.3 LTS. Rolled back from 13.10. When I try to log in, it goes right back to the login screen [23:07] !ppa | excalibr [23:07] excalibr: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

[23:08] SuperLag: can you login via tty1( ctrl+alt+f1 ) and try and create a new user and see if you can login with that? [23:08] SuperLag, what is your definition of rolled back? [23:09] hazeyez: yes, you can also try irssi. its just text, running by terminal, but its nice to learn some irc commands, with the old engine [23:10] wilee-nilee: I have left ~, /opt, and /usr/local/ intact across several installs. I reinstall everything else. [23:10] hitsujiTMO: and yeah... it worked under a new user. :/ [23:10] if i bootup without using gfxmode $linux_gfx_mode am i still using the intel graphics? [23:10] wilee-nilee: I think I just figured out the trick [23:10] deezed: "old engine"? irssi is way younger than xchat IIRC [23:11] wilee-nilee: http://ppa.launchpad.net/yorba/ppa/ubuntu/dists/ [23:11] wilee-nilee: those 3 other dirs are on separate partitions [23:11] SuperLag, So 12.0o4 was a fresh install except for those? [23:11] 12.04* [23:11] SuperLag: you have configs in your /home that are incompatable with 12.04.3 [23:11] SunTsu: yes, but isnt it from an old engine? [23:11] wilee-nilee: yup [23:12] SuperLag, Can you go to the tty from the login and get in there? [23:12] wilee-nilee: yup [23:13] i need restart hitsujiTMO? [23:13] SuperLag, to the desktop right? [23:13] wilee-nilee: got some split-screen tmux going on, and I'm logged in as my normal user on the other half [23:13] deezed: nope, cras wrote it from the scratch with focus on secure code [23:13] wilee-nilee: no, I'm on console [23:13] jumfernandez: you getting anything without a restart ( those settings wont persist ) [23:13] hitsujiTMO Bus 002 Device 002: ID 2357:0100, then of type lsusb [23:14] SuperLag, seems that all this info it is taking questions to get is pertinent overall to the problem would you not say? [23:15] Just turned on my desktop. it says ¨[numbers] k10temp [numbers] unreliable CPU thermal sensor; monitoring disabled¨ newline ¨[numbers] ohci-pci [numbers] can´t start¨ newline ¨ohci-pci [numbers] startup error -1¨ newline ¨ohci-pci [numbers] init 0000:03.06.0 fail -1¨ newline ¨filesystem check or mount failed.¨ if this is a usb problem, how can i find out what the trouble is? === Rena is now known as Rena_ [23:15] who here is good with graphics drivers? [23:16] alright, so just tried to upgrade an encrypted system and now grub is broken. tells me "device 2c3c... does not exist" (but it does), then asks me to unlock it anyway, then drops me to initramfs shell. what gives? [23:16] wilee-nilee: I'm confused. I tried logging in to the desktop, and could not. I thought you / hitsujiTMO were suggesting I try logging in to console. That's what I did. [23:16] jumfernandez: try the proprietary driver: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#2772 [23:17] hitsujiTMO so i narrowed the issue to intel vs efi graphics [23:17] whats causing the conflict? [23:17] mr-digital: i'm unsure. first time i've encountered such an issue [23:17] right now im not using intel drivers [23:18] SunTsu: oh, nice to know! thanks! sorry for my bad [23:18] so im guessing im using generic vga drivers? [23:18] what driver does it say you are using? [23:18] uknown [23:18] uknown [23:18] ..... unknown [23:19] deezed: nothing to be sorry for [23:19] mr-digital: system settings -> details shows unknown? [23:20] yes [23:20] people are saying its not a driver but a kernel issue involving KMS [23:20] what is KMS === vankooch_ is now known as vankooch [23:21] !dkms [23:21] DKMS is Dynamic Kernel Module Support. See https://launchpad.net/dkms for more. [23:23] hmmm [23:23] wooo! new Ubuntu!

[23:30] for blocking adds, I think the best one is maybe addblock plus [23:30] unity desktop integration, unity websites integration or ubuntu firefox modifications [23:30] not that kind of popup [23:32] Hmm i seem to recall it asking once. and if i say no it dosent ask again [23:32] those are the webapps pacakge feature i think [23:32] sam113101: what about block Linkbucks? [23:33] http://askubuntu.com/questions/165662/how-do-i-use-ubuntus-web-application-integration === ramon is now known as woodoo [23:33] ok [23:34] sam113101 install unity-tweak-tools ... goto web apps, disable integration prompts [23:34] unity-tweak-tool even [23:35] i dont even see the webapps icons when i do say yes. ;) [23:35] goign to reinstall again without efi see if that works [23:40] anyone in here familiar with slax? [23:40] hello? [23:40] ArchonDev_: not remotely as high a percentage as in #slax [23:41] no one in slax is answering :( [23:41] ArchonDev_: not sure what that has to do with #ubuntu [23:41] well I am trying to open .html files in slax [23:41] #slackware or #linux maybe? [23:41] but first time on this os [23:41] use the web browser... [23:41] new job.... [23:42] i cant edit the files in the browser. [23:42] now i need to make a legacy boot partition? [23:42] ArchonDev_: HTML is a plain _text_ format [23:42] mr-digital: why's that? [23:42] i disabled efi [23:42] I know but im used to using notepad++ [23:42] so now it wants a boot partition [23:42] created [23:42] alternative for linux based systems? [23:42] ArchonDev_: try geany [23:42] ArchonDev_: or if you're using KDE, try kate [23:43] do those programs have a gui? [23:43] ArchonDev_ you can use n++ in wine [23:43] ArchonDev_: yup [23:43] mr-digital: it's not special enough for that [23:44] heyo. idea and question. Would it be correct to say that the different flavours of ubuntu are about 90% the same? [23:44] do you know if it lets you save as? in formats such as css and html? [23:44] ntzrmtthihu777, I would linux is 90% the same [23:44] ArchonDev_: those are both plain text formats [23:44] ArchonDev_: text is text [23:44] so yes? [23:44] ArchonDev_: you should /join #websites [23:44] ArchonDev_: yes, text editors can save text as text [23:45] lol [23:45] wilee-nilee: hey man, how you doing? prolly right, I've just got an ubuntu-specific idea and was wondering if its possible. [23:45] wilee-nilee: would it be possible to say create an ubuntu iso which allows you to select the flavour of ubuntu you boot/install from the main menu? [23:45] ntzrmtthihu777, I'm fine, ask the questions to the channel than. [23:46] hitsujiTMO: thanks, will see if it works [23:46] I have to reboot now because my shortcuts are broken [23:46] ntzrmtthihu777, Probably the mini net install does that though, including anything in the repos really. [23:46] brb === sam113101 is now known as sam113101_afk [23:47] !away > sam113101_afk [23:47] sam113101_afk, please see my private message [23:47] wilee-nilee: is that so? so from the mini iso I could install {k,l,x,}ubuntu as long as I have a internet connection? [23:48] ntzrmtthihu777, There is a list of choices including servers and desktops. === sam113101_afk is now known as sam113101 [23:49] internet connevtion is needed yes [23:49] uh, why can't I use ctrl+alt+left and right to switch workspaces [23:49] it doesn't seem to work anymore [23:49] wilee-nilee: wow, makes my job easier on this question. [23:50] sam113101: what de and release of ubuntu? [23:50] sam113101: how many workspaces do you have? [23:50] ntzrmtthihu777: ubuntu (unity) 13.04 [23:50] hitsujiTMO: 3 [23:50] ntzrmtthihu777, probably the easiest way to do a minimal install [23:50] sam113101, did you enable workspaces? It's disabled by default [23:51] sam113101: I think they disabled that bit, you need to fiddle with it. [23:51] tgm4883: yes [23:51] wilee-nilee: very nice. [23:51] sam113101, odd, it works for me on 13.10 [23:51] how can I make my own ubuntu distro from scratch? [23:51] help_me: from scratch after copying Ubuntu? [23:51] help_me: install mini installation and install whats neede [23:52] help_me: use the build scripts; remastersys can do it and such too. [23:52] help_me: all you actually have to do is customize it to your liking, then copy it [23:52] I'm so confused [23:52] help_me: maybe you should put it off, then [23:52] it can be confuseing. :) give us details of exctly what you want. [23:53] I want to make an ubuntu-studio--kali--13.04--business desktop [23:53] help_me: thats not very detailed.. [23:53] heh, big dreams [23:54] and theres really not point in mixxing in kali. Unless you want to sort of defeat its focus of being a security testing disrto. [23:54] and a business disrto would not need the kali feature [23:54] Dr_Willis, but.. buzzwords! [23:54] BuzzWurds! [23:54] I'm having issues with setting up 13.10 with a Nvidia GTX 660. The Nouveau drivers work fine but when I upgrade to the proprietary drivers my system starts blinking red,blue,grayscales,rainbow bars, etc at lightdm [23:54] Anyone have any recommendations for solving this? [23:55] I bet it will also be gold-plated! [23:55] so you want Debian as Ubuntu for "security" for business :p [23:55] and you're qualified to make such a thing because you want to [23:56] when I press ctrl+alt+left it prints [23:56] D [23:56] DDDDDDDD [23:56] I've tried nomodeset and that doesn't seem to help [23:56] lol why is this? [23:57] btw I can easily switch workspaces using the button inside the dash [23:57] sam113101: in a terminal? === help_me is now known as Anonynimity [23:57] but the shortcuts just don't work [23:57] GreeTINGS.. [23:57] reisio: ah, yeah, in weechat [23:57] disabling EFI worked [23:58] I've got a big damn problem... [23:58] sam113101: obviously some or all of that key combination is recognized by weechat or your term [23:58] \o/ mr-digital [23:58] so hitsujiTMO EFI WAS the culprit [23:58] reisio: even when I give focus to firefox, it doesn't work [23:58] makes no sense why when my computer is certified for ubuntu [23:58] sam113101: what doesn't work? [23:58] and I thought the window manager was the first one to capture the shortcuts [23:58] reisio: it doesn't switch workspaces [23:59] mr-digital: i have similar issues with efi on windows on another laptop.
