|---|---|---|
| To0Ls | Okay, how do I do that? | 00:00 |
| Dr_Willis | !fstab | 00:00 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 00:00 |
| hitsujiTMO | To0Ls: doh, never read your full question ... pastebin your fstab | 00:00 |

| LividJava | Dr_Willis: How Do I Load Windows 8 while running along side ubuntu | 00:01 |
| wilee-nilee | Dr_Willis, I clone everything and have all recovery or install iso's, not really into asking for help. | 00:01 |
| To0Ls | ok sure... here is the pastebin: http://pastebin.com/405T6mFM and here is my UUID for the card: UUID="9016-4EF8" | 00:01 |
| Dr_Willis | LividJava: at the grub boot menu you select your OS. | 00:01 |
| To0Ls | @hitsujiTMO : thanks a lot | 00:01 |
| F41l | Question, I have a little eeepc, and I'm trying to install ubuntu. Though the installer says I need 6.3gigs of free space, though the hard drive in the system is 4GB. I don't intend on keeping much of any files on the system, just mainly for web browsing. Is there a way I can bypass this and install anyway? | 00:02 |
| LividJava | ?? Grub Rood Menu?? | 00:02 |
| Dr_Willis | !grub | LividJava | 00:02 |
| ubottu | LividJava: 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 | 00:02 |
| To0Ls | @hitsujiTMO as you can see, I also tried to add noatime to my other two partitions as well... hope i did that right | 00:02 |
| wilee-nilee | F41l, use the mini net install, and load the base then a light desktop. | 00:02 |
| hitsujiTMO | To0Ls: looks grand, but do you have a mount point for the sdcard? | 00:03 |
| pfifo | I dont backup anything | 00:03 |
| To0Ls | hitsujiTMO: Nope, I just bought and and put it in. Haven't done anything to it yet. | 00:03 |
| hitsujiTMO | To0Ls: what filesystem is the sdcard ... please run: sudo mkdir /mnt/sdcard | 00:04 |
| To0Ls | hitsujiTMO: I just want to use it for music and whatnot... it's paritioned as pre-formatted as FAT32 | 00:04 |
| To0Ls | hitsujiTMO : I ran: sudo mkdir /mnt/sdcard , but nothing happened in terminal | 00:05 |
| hitsujiTMO | To0Ls: you cant set noatime for fat32 ... | 00:05 |
| To0Ls | ok, should I format it as ntfs or ext4? | 00:05 |
| hitsujiTMO | ext2 | 00:06 |
| Dr_Willis | To0Ls: what do you plan on doing with it? | 00:06 |
| To0Ls | Dr_Willis : just using in in Ubuntu, always in the card reader, to store music, pictures, videos... etc | 00:06 |
| === Thorium220 is now known as Thor|Away | ||
| Dr_Willis | To0Ls: it might be a good idea to read up on the !mount and !fstab factoids. mounting filesystmes is a rather basic skill you should learn. | 00:07 |
| Dr_Willis | its not very complex | 00:07 |
| To0Ls | Dr_Willis : mmm okay | 00:07 |
| katkiss | I am quite new to linux. I have recently cleaned installed Ubuntu to my old laptop which I am typing on, but I put Mint 15 on a usb flash stick and need a little help in internet connection. How do i talk to them on live chat? I went to that site you said earlier. Sorry, a little more help here, pertty please. | 00:07 |
| Dr_Willis | and is VERY handy for system recovery ;) | 00:07 |
| Dr_Willis | katkiss: the mint homepage should point you to their irc channel | 00:07 |
| Dr_Willis | !ming | 00:07 |
| Dr_Willis | !mint | 00:08 |
| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 00:08 |
| To0Ls | dr_willis should I just good !fstab and !mount? | 00:08 |
| Dr_Willis | their irc server is irc.spotchat.org katkiss | 00:08 |
| Dr_Willis | !fstab | To0Ls | 00:08 |
| ubottu | To0Ls: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 00:08 |
| katkiss | oh... O will look a little better. THANKS1 | 00:08 |
| To0Ls | ty | 00:08 |
| Dr_Willis | !mount | To0Ls | 00:08 |
| ubottu | To0Ls: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 00:08 |
| Dr_Willis | To0Ls: TOP newbie mistake.. the mountpoint (directory) MUST exist befor you mount a filesystem top it. | 00:09 |
| Dr_Willis | to it | 00:09 |
| pfifo | katkist type '/server irc.spotchat.org' and then '/join #linuxmint-help' | 00:09 |
| Dr_Willis | To0Ls: if you use ext2/3/4 you will need to chown/chmod the sdcard after its mounted to allow the user full access | 00:09 |
| Dr_Willis | !permissions | To0Ls | 00:09 |
| ubottu | To0Ls: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 00:09 |
| To0Ls | ok, thanks | 00:10 |
| To0Ls | :) | 00:10 |
| pfifo | Dr_Willis: when we make our distro, we should set xchat to connect users to our chatroom instead of here | 00:10 |
| Rallias | How would I apply the sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward to only certain interfaces, such as tap2 and xenbr0, and not br1? | 00:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | To0Ls: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6286091/ so you sdcard should be found at /mnt/sdcard | 00:11 |
| Dr_Willis | pfifo: i often tell the mint users to file a bug to that affect against the mint xchat client | 00:11 |
| To0Ls | hitsujiTMO: Okay, thanks... I'll replace that as my fstab and then i just format my SD card to ext2, yes? | 00:12 |
| To0Ls | or to whatever i want | 00:12 |
| To0Ls | and then change it accordingly in the file | 00:12 |

| To0Ls | hitsujiTMO : should that be it? | 00:42 |
| Matthew22_ | This is hard | 00:43 |
| hitsujiTMO | To0Ls: just change ownership of /mnt/sdcard to you | 00:43 |
| To0Ls | hitsujiTMO : how do i do that? | 00:44 |
| To0Ls | hitsujiTMO : sudo chown yourusername /media/disk/ | 00:44 |
| Dr_Willis | To0Ls: sudo chown user:user /the/mount/point | 00:44 |
| To0Ls | hitsujiTMO : thanks for everything | 00:44 |
| To0Ls | hitsujiTMO : you are the best | 00:45 |
| Dr_Willis | this has to be done AFTER its mounted. ;) | 00:45 |
| Dr_Willis | if the card was using vfat, or ntfs, it would take differnt approach to get it owned by your user | 00:45 |
| To0Ls | hitsujiTMO : sudo chow chris:chris /dev/mmcblk0 ? | 00:46 |
| Dr_Willis | To0Ls: the mouuntpoint. NOT the device. | 00:46 |
| To0Ls | ahhh | 00:46 |
| Dr_Willis | totally differnt 'thins' ;) | 00:46 |
| Dr_Willis | thins | 00:46 |
| Dr_Willis | thinGs | 00:47 |
| hitsujiTMO | To0Ls: no, the mount point is /mnt/sdcard sudo chown chris:chris /mnt/sdcard | 00:47 |
| Dr_Willis | that chown command is channgeing the ownership of the ROOT of the filesystem on that sdcard. | 00:47 |
| To0Ls | done.. lots of work.. thanks for everything | 00:47 |
| Dr_Willis | ifyou wanted to . you could set up specific directories on the sd card owned by the user instead | 00:47 |

| unicornjedi | wilee-nilee: That's right. It stopped working when I set compiz to the default setting | 01:07 |
| hitsujiTMO | Matthew22_: crap ... ok lets try and go straight to fix then | 01:07 |
| Matthew22_ | Ok, I'm ready | 01:07 |
| wilee-nilee | unicornjedi, some times messing with compiz needs a restart of it, a logout or reboot. | 01:08 |
| unicornjedi | wilee-nilee: I rebooted my computer but it still doesn't work :/ | 01:08 |
| wilee-nilee | unicornjedi, try the reset | 01:08 |
| hitsujiTMO | Matthew22_: mkdir /mnt/sda1 /mnt/sda2 /mnt/sda5 | 01:08 |
| kichigai | Hey all. I've got me a quirky problem: last apt-get upgrade I ran broke my Broadcom 4401 10/100 Ethernet adapter. The right kernel module is loaded, but the adapter isn't showing up. I'm using 12.04 LTS with kernel 3.8.0 | 01:09 |
| unicornjedi | wilee-nilee: Also when I try to launch the gnome tutorial | 01:09 |
| hitsujiTMO | Matthew22_: sorry, that should be: mkdir /mnt/sda1 /mnt/sda2 /mnt/sda5 | 01:09 |
| hitsujiTMO | Matthew22_: sorry, that should be: sudo mkdir /mnt/sda1 /mnt/sda2 /mnt/sda5 | 01:09 |
| unicornjedi | wilee-nilee: OOps I mean, When I try to launch the gnome-terminal it wont show up after compiz broke | 01:09 |
| wilee-nilee | unicornjedi, meaning the link 5 gave you? | 01:09 |
| wilee-nilee | I* | 01:09 |
| wilee-nilee | unicornjedi, try ctrl-alt-t for the terminakl | 01:10 |
| Matthew22_ | Permission denied hitsujitmo | 01:10 |
| Matthew22_ | Wouldn't let me | 01:10 |
| hitsujiTMO | Matthew22_: sorry, that should be: sudo mkdir /mnt/sda1 /mnt/sda2 /mnt/sda5 | 01:10 |
| unicornjedi | wilee-nilee: thats what I did. It wont show up | 01:10 |
| wilee-nilee | unicornjedi, YOu have any other desktops installed? | 01:10 |
| Matthew22_ | Same thing | 01:10 |
| unicornjedi | wilee-nilee: should I press ctrl+alt+f1 for the full screen terminal | 01:10 |
| wilee-nilee | unicornjedi, That would work | 01:11 |
| Matthew22_ | Permssion denied | 01:11 |
| Matthew22_ | Right now everything in sda and sdb isnunallocated btw | 01:12 |
| wilee-nilee | kichigai, Have you tried a reboot? | 01:12 |
| Matthew22_ | Is un a | 01:12 |
| Matthew22_ | Is un allocated | 01:12 |
| unicornjedi | wilee-nilee: okay Im going to boot into ubuntu now. THanks for the help! | 01:12 |
| wilee-nilee | unicornjedi, I would reboot from the tty myself | 01:12 |
| Matthew22_ | Btw when I did sudo, it say ps it already exists | 01:12 |
| unicornjedi | wilee-nilee: how would I do that? | 01:12 |
| wilee-nilee | unicornjedi sudo stop lightdm ; sudo reboot | 01:13 |
| hitsujiTMO | Matthew22_: try: sudo mkdir -p /mnt/sda1 /mnt/sda2 /mnt/sda5 | 01:13 |
| unicornjedi | wilee-nilee: what does lightdm do? | 01:14 |
| Matthew22_ | Nothing happens hitsujitmo | 01:14 |
| wilee-nilee | unicornjedi, it is the window manger turn off the desktop | 01:14 |
| wilee-nilee | turns* | 01:14 |
| hitsujiTMO | good: now try: sudo /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 | 01:15 |

| olimazi | hey dudes, got a weird problem in 13.10 | 01:17 |
| olimazi | I have had 13.10 and Win 7 dualbooting for about a week now - everything was perfect. Yesterday - I select Ubuntu from the grub menu - usb keyboard is lit. Right after the selection - keyboard goes dark - ubuntu splash screen, then login screen - no keyboard or mouse. The KB works fine in Win7 and was working fine in ubuntu - until now. What gives? Haven't made any bios changes - usb legacy was always enables. I'm at a loss - why wou | 01:17 |
| wilee-nilee | 14.04 runs nicely, mostly 13.10 but can be installed from a daily | 01:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | Matthew22_: did you do anything to the drive? | 01:18 |
| Matthew22_ | A | 01:18 |
| Matthew22_ | Not gh | 01:18 |
| Matthew22_ | Not that I know of | 01:18 |
| to0Ls | hitsujiTMO : it's saying The disc drive for /mnt/sdcard is not ready yet or not present when I boot... any idea why? | 01:18 |
| Infandum | Does anyone know how to enable high dpi mode in Gnome 3.10 in Ubuntu 13.10? | 01:19 |
| wilee-nilee | olimazi, I had 13.10 default to the gnome fallback once today with autologin set and gnome as the de, have you tried this more than once? | 01:19 |
| Matthew22_ | What do you think I should do now?.... | 01:20 |
| Brochacho | Are you trying to change the DPI of the font? | 01:20 |
| linuxuz3r | how do i update ubuntu without uninstalling chrome | 01:20 |
| wilee-nilee | Infandum, 3.10 is a ppa and not supported | 01:20 |
| jumfernandez_ | sorry Dr_Willis i read the link you give me, and when i compile says 'the script complete' but appears too : http://paste.ubuntu.com/6286348/ | 01:20 |
| hitsujiTMO | Matthew22_: ok, try the the installer again ... but kinda looks like the hdd is dieing | 01:20 |
| Infandum | wilee-nilee: I guess that's a no | 01:20 |
| Brochacho | You don't have to uninstall Chrome to update | 01:21 |
| linuxuz3r | it shows if i click on the update menu it says cant update because of untrusted sources google-chrome? | 01:21 |
| wilee-nilee | Infandum, You might get help, but just a heads up is all | 01:21 |
| Matthew22_ | Oh..... | 01:21 |
| olimazi | wilee-tried what more than once | 01:21 |
| linuxuz3r | wilee-nilee, can you help | 01:21 |
| Brochacho | Just run upgrade from a command line | 01:21 |
| Infandum | wilee-nilee: Sounds good! Here's hoping | 01:22 |
| Brochacho | or in other words open your terminal and do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 01:22 |
| wilee-nilee | linuxuz3r, pastebin the output from thise commands | 01:23 |
| hanasaki | does someone have a new version of mcelog on their box? I only have oooold versions of the os and need to check a mce decode please. | 01:23 |
| wilee-nilee | olimazi, guess, lol | 01:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | to0Ls: the sd might be getting initialised late, try changing the options to: rw,async,user,auto,noatime | 01:24 |
| lee__ | I have installed a usb wifi driver,but I have to run sudo insmod 8188eu.ko after reboot . and the usb wifi will work. anyone can help me ? | 01:24 |
| s1lence | Hello, I updated to Ubuntu 13.10 and accidentally kicked the power strip my computer was plugged into while updating. I managed to boot in recovery mode but with the kernel 3.11 i get a kernel panic, It looks like my fstab file got corrupted and so i can't mount the disk in read/right mode. I need help. | 01:24 |
| wilee-nilee | olimazi, What is the problem, no keybaofrd at login, hmm now what would be the try again. | 01:25 |
| Brochacho | s1lence what's the output of cat /etc/fstab ? | 01:25 |
| olimazi | no kb/mose at login - tried 5 times | 01:25 |
| olimazi | works in grub boot menu then turns off | 01:26 |
| to0Ls | k brb, reboot | 01:26 |
| Brochacho | also, a corrupt fstab shouldn't cause a kernel panic | 01:26 |
| hitsujiTMO | to0ls if that doesnt work try changing from the uuid to the device itself ... /dev/mmcXXXXXXX whatever the full device name is (get from lsblk) | 01:26 |
| Matthew22_ | Anahahahahahaha it worked!!!!! Thank you solo much!!!!!!!!! | 01:26 |
| wilee-nilee | olimazi, cool, I don't know the answer, it seemed like an error that was similar,abstractly, to what happened to me | 01:26 |
| Matthew22_ | It's restarting now | 01:26 |
| s1lence | Brochacho: the output is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6286367/ | 01:27 |
| Matthew22_ | I lied.... It didn't work | 01:27 |
| s1lence | Brochacho: the error message says that it can't mount root on unkown block (0,0) | 01:27 |
| olimazi | abstractly? | 01:27 |
| Matthew22_ | Brides stripe array failed | 01:28 |
| wilee-nilee | s1lence, Have you tried an earlier kernel? | 01:28 |
| Brochacho | @s1lence try mounting it manually | 01:28 |
| hitsujiTMO | Matthew22_: find a live cd with smartmontools and use that to check the hard drive ... it could be dieing | 01:28 |
| === peter is now known as Guest65247 | ||
| s1lence | wilee-nilee: yes, with older kernels it gives me read mode but locks up if i try to mount in read/wright. Brochacho i have tried. | 01:28 |
| s1lence | if i use recoverymode | 01:29 |
| wilee-nilee | !tab | Brochacho | 01:29 |
| wilee-nilee | !tab | 01:29 |
| wilee-nilee | Brochacho, heh bots not running very fast, you can tab complete nicks | 01:29 |
| ubottu | Brochacho: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 01:29 |
| Brochacho | s1lence: Not sure then man, have you tried something like rw,relatime,data=ordered on your options? | 01:30 |
| Matthew22_ | Ok I will thx for the help | 01:30 |
| s1lence | Brochacho: i don't know what those things are xD | 01:30 |
| Brochacho | s1lence: In your /etc/fstab file on line 10 where it says 'errors=remount-ro' | 01:31 |
| wilee-nilee | s1lence, I would boot a live dvd/usb and backup whats there that you can before you mess with it to much, chances are you will be doing a new install anyway. | 01:31 |
| Brochacho | s1lence: or what wilee-nilee said | 01:32 |
| === banisterfiend is now known as banister`sleep | ||
| s1lence | wilee-nilee: already did, i'm running on systemrescuecd right now. Brochacho my fstab is broken it has "^@ ^@" on line 13 where mount exits with an error | 01:34 |
| wilee-nilee | s1lence, Cool, good job, most here don't backup or think of the possibilities of their actions. | 01:35 |
| Brochacho | s1lence: I really don't know what you could run to generate a new fstab, sorry | 01:35 |
| Brochacho | s1lence: other than writing it yourself | 01:35 |
| s1lence | i guess i will have to learn that, I also don't know if i can even mount my hdd in read/write | 01:36 |
| s1lence | to fix the fstab | 01:36 |
| hitsujiTMO | Brochacho: s1lence the installer is pretty good at generating fstabs :P without know exactly what damage was done its best just to begin a clean install | 01:36 |
| Brochacho | s1lence: You should be able to if you're running a live image but as a few others have said you might just be better of reinstalling | 01:36 |
| s1lence | I guess so ;_; | 01:37 |
| wilee-nilee | s1lence, Not sure the fstab is the problem, but a chroot from a live enviroment and nano /etc/fstab would give you access | 01:37 |
| s1lence | thank you wilee-nilee! | 01:37 |
| wilee-nilee | if writable from there | 01:37 |
| s1lence | i may just re-install and back up my fstab xD | 01:38 |
| Brochacho | s1lence: The point of reinstalling is to get rid of that fstab and the problems it caused | 01:38 |
| reisio | a broken fstab would not be a good reason to reinstall | 01:38 |
| reisio | takes moments to fix such a thing | 01:39 |
| s1lence | oh? | 01:39 |
| wilee-nilee | s1lence, there are kernel modifications probably from grub, I don't know them without a google search | 01:39 |
| Brochacho | s1lence: The fstab doesn't contain any information other than how to mount your drives on boot | 01:39 |
| Brochacho | s1lence: so anything you're looking to backup has nothing to do with a bad fstab | 01:39 |
| s1lence | Brochacho:i mean backing up the fstab after i re-install so if i break it again i have it xD | 01:39 |
| reisio | what's wrong with your fstab? | 01:39 |
| hitsujiTMO | reisio: the broken fstab is not the cause of the problem, kicking the power out during an upgrade is | 01:39 |
| reisio | a | 01:39 |
| Brochacho | s1lence: nah, don't worry about that | 01:39 |
| s1lence | reisio: line 13 is just ^@ ^@ | 01:40 |
| reisio | hitsujiTMO: I do that on weekends, it's entertaining | 01:40 |
| reisio | s1lence: in what editor? | 01:40 |
| Brochacho | hitsujiTMO: the generation of his fstab was cut short by the power turning off, so the problem is his fstab | 01:40 |
| s1lence | and mount exits with an error on tha tline | 01:40 |
| s1lence | nano | 01:40 |
| wilee-nilee | reisio, A interrupted distro upgrade with a power loss and no read write, not sure you saw all the info, hopefully fixable, go for it. | 01:40 |
| reisio | some editors use funny symbols like that to show that there is line overflow (when not wrapping) | 01:40 |
| reisio | wilee-nilee: nope, I didn't | 01:40 |
| reisio | only commented on fstab | 01:40 |
| wilee-nilee | I'm clueless as usual | 01:41 |
| s1lence | I'll be right back. | 01:41 |
| Brochacho | s1lence: good luck | 01:42 |
| hitsujiTMO | Brochacho: thats prob not the only issue tho ... when writing to the file system data is cached to ram before actually being written. anything else could have been happening at the same time | 01:42 |
| junpeo | hi all | 01:43 |
| gonyere | hi there, I've been asked to try the mainline kernel (3.12.x) on a system which is currently giving READ FDMA QUEUED errors | 01:43 |
| Brochacho | hitsujiTMO: He can't do a thing if his fstab is corrupt. The only way he'd be able to fix it is through a live image | 01:43 |
| gonyere | wondering if anyone can help me walk through how to download/install from the command line | 01:43 |
| reisio | junpeo: ohai | 01:43 |
| gonyere | (currently running ubuntu 13.04) | 01:43 |
| Brochacho | gonyere: what do you mean? | 01:44 |
| Ben64 | gonyere: asked by who? thats not a normal thing to do on ubuntu | 01:44 |
| Brochacho | gonyere: put all the files in a directory and run dpkg -i *.deb | 01:44 |
| gonyere | Brochacho - Joseph Salisbury | 01:44 |
| Brochacho | gonyere: in the directory you put the files in that is | 01:44 |
| junpeo | Could I ask: I'm trying to connect to my cable modem diagnostics page and it's "hidden". I've tried a couple of things through network manager. help? | 01:45 |
| gonyere | Brochacho - should i just download from this system and then move them over via a usb stick? | 01:45 |
| Ben64 | gonyere: its really not recommended and can cause much more problems | 01:45 |
| gonyere | would that be the easiest solution? | 01:45 |
| Brochacho | gonyere: If you're trying to install from mainline, yes | 01:45 |
| donavan01 | I tried asking this is the Kubuntu channel but no one is talking ... I wondered if it was possible to combine the windows title bar and the tabs into the some thing when using Chrome like it is in windows | 01:45 |
| gonyere | Ben64 - the system is currently already unusable | 01:45 |
| Ben64 | gonyere: well explain the problem here then, upgrading to a non-ubuntu kernel is not supported in this channel and you'll be on your own | 01:46 |
| gonyere | I'm on the verge of downloading some other distro - opensuse seems to run fine on this system, but ubuntu just seems to have bizzare issues | 01:46 |
| reisio | donavan01: ask #kde | 01:46 |
| reisio | donavan01: if they don't have a simple solution, then it'd be involved | 01:46 |
| Brochacho | gonyere: how old is your hardware? | 01:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | gonyere: where exactly were you asked to do this? | 01:46 |
| gonyere | 1-2yrs old | 01:46 |
| gonyere | via a emal/bug report | 01:46 |
| donavan01 | thanks reisio | 01:46 |
| Brochacho | gonyere: that's odd then, not sure if upgrading to a different kernel will fix your problems | 01:47 |
| gonyere | yeah, i'm doubtful too but willing to try | 01:47 |
| gonyere | just wondering what the easiest way to do so is | 01:47 |
| Ben64 | gonyere: how about you explain the problem here instead of trying something unsupported | 01:47 |
| s1lence | Here is my broken fstab: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6286426/ | 01:47 |
| s1lence | How do i generate a new one? | 01:48 |
| junpeo | Do I need to do something with a MAC address to see my modem? | 01:48 |
| Brochacho | s1lence: I'm really not sure. All this time could have been saved if you were willing to just reinstall | 01:48 |
| gonyere | its bizzare tho - after updating the system, for the 2nd time in about a month it's given me 'READ FDMA QUEUED' errors | 01:48 |
| Ben64 | s1lence: pastebin "sudo blkid" | 01:48 |
| hitsujiTMO | sileht: just remove the last line ... the ^@^@ | 01:48 |
| gonyere | the last time, I re-installed 13.10 and it worked for a couple weeks | 01:48 |
| gonyere | this time I installed 13.04 thinking there'd be less issues, and immediatly after allowing it to update system | 01:49 |
| gonyere | it gave me the same error (tho it now will at least boot, though I can only log in by dropping to command line) | 01:49 |
| Brochacho | hitsujiTMO: his options on the root directory don't look correct though | 01:49 |
| gonyere | i've just run sudo apt-get update and dist-upgrade with the same result | 01:49 |
| reisio | s1lence: is that from cat /etc/fstab? | 01:49 |
| gonyere | Bug 1242325] | 01:50 |
| s1lence | no | 01:50 |
| ubottu | bug 1242325 in linux (Ubuntu) "READ FDMA QUEUED" [Medium,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1242325 | 01:50 |
| Ben64 | gonyere: where does the error appear | 01:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | Brochacho: those options are correct for 13.10 | 01:50 |
| gonyere | Ben64 - during boot | 01:50 |
| Elijah_ | wilee-nilee, Hey this is unicornjedi | 01:50 |
| s1lence | reisio: no, that is a copy-paste from vi of it. i posted the cat earlier | 01:50 |
| gonyere | the last time it just cycled back through restarting | 01:50 |
| Brochacho | hitsujiTMO: ahh, wasn't aware | 01:50 |
| wilee-nilee | Elijah_, what's up | 01:50 |
| Elijah_ | wilee-nilee, the Compiz thingy didn't work in the big terminal :( | 01:51 |
| Ben64 | gonyere: did you add any 3rd party repositories, packages, or ppas? | 01:51 |
| gonyere | now at least it will boot and allow me to drop to command line w/o going through grub & the recovery mode | 01:51 |
| Sach | My Libreoffice writer doesnt seem to have a working dictionary. | 01:51 |
| reisio | s1lence: cat would be more reliable | 01:51 |
| Brochacho | cat on s1lence's fstab just cut the ^@^@ | 01:51 |
| gonyere | just gnome3-team :D | 01:51 |
| s1lence | i just removed the characters from the fstab like you suggested hitsujiTMO. | 01:51 |
| Elijah_ | wilee-nilee, let me show you the error I got\ | 01:51 |
| s1lence | i will try booting again | 01:51 |
| Ben64 | gonyere: well maybe thats the problem | 01:51 |
| wilee-nilee | Elijah_, Have you loaded any graphic drivers? | 01:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | Brochacho: the proc line is what looks odd to me have not seen that before | 01:51 |
| gonyere | they work fine on my system | 01:52 |
| Elijah_ | wilee-nilee, I know I have the right graphic drivers... but let me double check | 01:52 |
| wilee-nilee | gonyere, I would check the HD with the smart tool, and the partition table. | 01:52 |
| Ben64 | gonyere: are you the one with the "husband's laptop" | 01:52 |
| junpeo | 192.168.100.1 will not show my modem., although it is pinging. Tried using customer-side address. Doh? 12.04 | 01:52 |
| Brochacho | s1lence: try removeing the proc, line 8 | 01:52 |
| Brochacho | junpeo: I'm not sure the problem you're having. Are you directly connected to your router? | 01:53 |
| junpeo | brochacho: yes | 01:53 |
| Brochacho | junpeo: Try running ip addr | 01:53 |
| gonyere | Ben64 yes | 01:53 |
| wilee-nilee | Elijah_, Proprietary drivers from the manufacturer or the repos? | 01:53 |
| Elijah_ | wilee-nilee, Im using the X.org. X server AMD/ATI display driver wrapper | 01:54 |
| Ben64 | gonyere: and the problem starting happening after getting the gnome3 ppa.... | 01:54 |
| gonyere | Ben64 its a gateway something or other i bought for him a couple yrs ago now | 01:54 |
| wilee-nilee | Elijah_, Ah a ppa, well that may be the problem, any reason why you went there? | 01:54 |
| gonyere | Ben64 no, it happens after updating the system whether I've added the ppa's or not | 01:54 |
| junpeo | brochacho: i ran it and got some numbers | 01:54 |
| Ben64 | have you tried 12.04 | 01:54 |
| gonyere | Ben64 yes, thats what it occured on first | 01:55 |
| Elijah_ | wilee-nilee, I think I wanted the newest graphic drivers when I had an old Radeon 3xxx series | 01:55 |
| Brochacho | junpeo: Are you using ethernet or wifi? | 01:55 |
| wilee-nilee | Elijah_, That ppa is considered as unstable. | 01:55 |
| junpeo | ethernet | 01:55 |
| loller | hello | 01:55 |
| gonyere | actually I take that back. back on 12.04 it constantly set the hd as read-only | 01:56 |
| gonyere | but opensuse worked fine on it for a year | 01:56 |
| Brochacho | junpeo: In that case in the eth0 line the IP should be associated with your router, is it? | 01:56 |
| gonyere | then he decided he wanted/wants steam | 01:56 |
| Elijah_ | wilee-nilee, I disabled the ppa though | 01:56 |
| Ben64 | gonyere: could be hard drive, hard drive connection, hard drive cable, ppa, or something weirder | 01:56 |
| gonyere | so I've attemtped to move him back to ubuntu, only now we're getting these equally strange errors | 01:56 |
| wilee-nilee | Elijah_, disabling does not remove its packages. | 01:56 |
| Ben64 | gonyere: sound like hard drive problems though | 01:56 |
| wilee-nilee | !ppa-purge | Elijah_ | 01:57 |
| ubottu | Elijah_: 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:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 01:57 |
| gonyere | i'd have thought his hdd was failing except that back on 12.04 my laptop (an equally then-new lenovo z470) gave the same errors | 01:57 |
| Elijah_ | wilee-nilee, I ppa purged that joint | 01:57 |
| wilee-nilee | Elijah_, I'm guessing here, however it might be worth a try. | 01:57 |
| gonyere | briefly | 01:57 |
| Ben64 | gonyere: then you might be doing weird stuff to it | 01:57 |
| junpeo | brochacho: well, i got the ip address and port (?) showing, broadcast adress, hwaddress | 01:57 |
| Elijah_ | wilee-nilee, I already purged it a while ago... what graphics drivers should I be using? | 01:58 |
| gonyere | Ben64: such as?? | 01:58 |
| wilee-nilee | Elijah_, Ah, not sure really, you can install another desktop to use till you have unity fixed. | 01:58 |
| Ben64 | gonyere: you would be the one to know that | 01:58 |
| gonyere | all he does is surf the web. | 01:58 |
| Brochacho | junpeo: your address should be something along the lines of what ever your router home address is 192.168.100.XX | 01:58 |
| gonyere | I basicly do the same, with a tiny bit of work on gnome stuff | 01:58 |
| gonyere | mixed in | 01:58 |
| wilee-nilee | Elijah_, I'm not really up on graphics issues, all my setups are intell and just work. | 01:59 |
| Elijah_ | wilee-nilee, can I reset compiz through another administrator account on the same computer? | 01:59 |
| Brochacho | junpeo: or what ever it's home address is, but I don't think that's really the issue. It might just be settings on your router | 01:59 |
| junpeo | brochacho: i have an ad-hoc wifi set up via usb that I have disabled in network manager (gnome). | 01:59 |
| wilee-nilee | Elijah_, You might try another user and see if this is the same there. | 01:59 |
| Brochacho | junpeo: Ahhh, in that cause you might still be using your ad-hoc's ip address. Try removing that completely and restarting | 01:59 |
| Elijah_ | wilee-nilee, my other adminstrator accounts have unity and compiz working | 02:00 |
| Brochacho | junpeo: I used to have the same issue using a bridge-client connection | 02:00 |
| wilee-nilee | Elijah_, I would remove this one then, and use them, or figure out what the differences are, same OS right? | 02:01 |
| junpeo | broachacho: the config screen appears briefly when i reset the modem (power cycle) but then i lose it. The icon still loads in the browser tab though! Will try deleting the ad hoc... | 02:01 |
| Elijah_ | wilee-nilee, yep same os on same computer | 02:01 |
| wilee-nilee | Elijah_, I have never had more than one admin, so not sure the ramifications there if you mess around in general, and one fails. | 02:03 |
| === mark_132 is now known as mzo | ||
| Elijah_ | wilee-nilee, Okay here is what I'm doing now. I am viewing my Ubuntu 13.10 OS with nautilus on another Ubuntu 13.10 account | 02:04 |
| wilee-nilee | Elijah_, So why more than one admin? | 02:05 |
| s1lence | well thank you everybody for helping i am not able to fix the kernel panic as easily as i had hoped so I guess i will re-install. my dotfiles will die in a fire | 02:05 |
| s1lence | ;_; | 02:05 |
| Brochacho | s1lence: upload them to github | 02:06 |
| Ben64 | s1lence: back them up ... | 02:06 |
| Elijah_ | wilee-nilee, In case one of my admin user accounts gets screwed up | 02:06 |
| hitsujiTMO | s1lence: just back them up from live cd | 02:06 |
| s1lence | i would have to sift for hours xD | 02:06 |
| Ben64 | why? | 02:06 |
| s1lence | i have so many junk dotfiles it's not even funny. | 02:06 |
| Brochacho | s1lence: it's always a good idea to back them up | 02:06 |
| s1lence | from apps i never use | 02:07 |
| wilee-nilee | Elijah_, Not sure that's the best method I would just clone it, that may be the root of the problem. | 02:07 |
| Brochacho | lol | 02:07 |
| Frogsiedoodle | Hey guys can you help me out with a Vmware issue? I get this error "c header files matching your running kernel were not found" when trying to install | 02:07 |
| Ben64 | cp ./.* /place/to/go/ | 02:07 |
| Brochacho | Frogsiedoodle: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic | 02:07 |
| Ben64 | Brochacho: yeah, if thats his kernel | 02:07 |
| Frogsiedoodle | I have done that and installed many other things they dont work | 02:07 |
| Ben64 | Frogsiedoodle: paste here the output of "uname -a" | 02:08 |
| Elijah_ | wilee-nilee, how do you mean? | 02:08 |
| hitsujiTMO | Frogsiedoodle: for esxi? or which? | 02:08 |
| Brochacho | Frogsiedoodle: What kernel are you using? | 02:08 |
| Frogsiedoodle | Linux Maximus 3.11.0-12-generic #19-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 9 16:20:46 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 02:08 |
| BrianH | Ok, my 13.10 server is now just randomly rebooting without any reason. I've tried sorting through /var/log/ and I don't see any log messages. | 02:08 |
| gonyere | right, i just removed said gnome3 ppa's | 02:09 |
| hitsujiTMO | Frogsiedoodle: for what vmware app is it? | 02:09 |
| wilee-nilee | Elijah_, permission problems would be my guess, the initial admin/name is the controlling admin, if you add another and removed the first you would have to mess with permissions system wide due to different names I believe. | 02:09 |
| gonyere | ran sudo-apt-get update | 02:09 |
| Frogsiedoodle | Vmware player | 02:09 |
| gonyere | fpdma queed errors of various sorts | 02:09 |
| gonyere | mostly write fpdma queued | 02:09 |
| junpeo | brochacho: no, it wasn't the ad hoc. inet 192.168.100.11/24 brd 192.168.100.255 scope global eth0 >> got my modem briefly and then it went hiding again | 02:09 |
| Elijah_ | wilee-nilee, but how does it affect my compiz problem? | 02:09 |
| zykotick9 | gonyere: i hope you used ppa-purge (or whatever it's called)... | 02:10 |
| gonyere | yes | 02:10 |
| Ben64 | gonyere: hard drive problems, get new hard drive or hard drive cable | 02:10 |
| Dr_Willis | !ppa-purge | 02:10 |
| ubottu | 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:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 02:10 |
| Brochacho | junpeo: That's really odd if you're on that network you should be able to access your router, I've run out of ideas | 02:10 |
| Frogsiedoodle | Anyone got any ideas? | 02:11 |
| junpeo | broachacho: i think the cable company got to be blocking it, I'll try my backup ubuntu on the netbook! | 02:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | Frogsiedoodle: this will fix the finding headers issue: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6286526/ however .... the problem that the vmware scripts target much older kernels so the module build might fail | 02:11 |
| wilee-nilee | Elijah_, each account has some specific controls attached to it, so making changes in both could screw one up, is my guess, this is beyond and real definitive answers from me really. I jsut would never make a second admin for that reason is all without knowing exactly all the steps for it to work perfectly.. | 02:11 |
| wilee-nilee | and=any | 02:12 |
| Brochacho | junpeo: Cable companies can do that? | 02:12 |
| Frogsiedoodle | hitsujiTMO: It says the file already exists and i have run that command before with no luck | 02:12 |
| wilee-nilee | might work in windows but linux is different is all | 02:12 |
| junpeo | 3rd party provider have to go with the black box they get given | 02:13 |
| Frogsiedoodle | hitsujiTMO: Would virtualbox be any better do you think? | 02:13 |
| hitsujiTMO | Frogsiedoodle: yes | 02:13 |

| smaudet | !slattach | 02:30 |
| smaudet | Hmm nope | 02:30 |
| smaudet | Anyone know how to ssh over ttyusb? | 02:31 |
| smaudet | I know this should be simple, I'm not understanding something. If anyone knows, would appreciate the pointer. | 02:31 |
| ivan_ | h | 02:31 |
| Dr_Willis | smaudet: that dosent make a lot of sence. You ssh over a network connection. You got some sort of usb network card or what? | 02:31 |
| smaudet | Dr_Willis: slattach claims that it connects a serial interface to a network connection...although what network connection that is is a mystery to me | 02:32 |
| alder | 4755322 | 02:32 |
| smaudet | Dr_Willis: would I just telnet over the ttyUSB? | 02:32 |
| smaudet | I thought I had to ssh. | 02:32 |
| Dr_Willis | smaudet: if it has an ip.. its connected.. now whats on the otehr end.. ;) may be the issue | 02:32 |
| Dr_Willis | never used of heard of slattatch. | 02:33 |
| smaudet | Dr_Willis, no, serial connection works (fine in putty on windows), seems too confusing on linux =/ | 02:33 |
| Dr_Willis | used 'slip' and 'ppp' ages ago for networking over a serial port. | 02:33 |
| Dr_Willis | if its a true serial connection, you would use a serial terminal on linux. | 02:33 |
| smaudet | yeah that's what its doing, slip I think, but I know next to nothing about slip or ppp | 02:33 |
| Dr_Willis | i dont recall putty working as a serial terminal. :) tehre is putty in the repos. | 02:34 |
| smaudet | Dr_Willis, ok and is that any different from a standard terminal | 02:34 |
| Dr_Willis | a serial terminal sends data to the serial port.. | 02:34 |
| smaudet | Dr_Willis, it may not on linux, I couldn't get the normal gui to come up, might just be my package | 02:34 |
| SAM113101 | what's better for linux, an ATI card or a nvidia card? | 02:34 |
| smaudet | Dr_Willis, uses COM ports on windows | 02:34 |
| Dr_Willis | xterm and so forth emulate the old skool serial-terminals that were special terminals with a monitor/keyboard/serial port | 02:34 |
| Dr_Willis | smaudet: if its using COM ports. then its a serial terminal connection. Not ssh or telnet. | 02:35 |
| smaudet | Dr_Willis, well maybe that's the issue, my Terminal emulator doesn't support tty I guess | 02:35 |
| Dr_Willis | smaudet: you would use some serial terminal like minicom, or others. (perhaps putty on linux even) | 02:35 |
| smaudet | Dr_Willis, ok, I'll try minicom, thanks! | 02:35 |
| Dr_Willis | smaudet: xterm, or rxvt or gnome-terminal are not for connecting to a serial port. | 02:35 |
| Dr_Willis | whats at the other end of the serial port/line to the linux box smaudet ? | 02:36 |
| smaudet | Dr_Willis, FreeBSD box | 02:36 |
| Dr_Willis | device --> linux (whats the device>) | 02:36 |
| Dr_Willis | smaudet: so you want to do serial to serial and just get a termoinal opn the bsd box? | 02:36 |
| smaudet | basically yeah | 02:36 |
| Dr_Willis | you want to go BSD as the terminal> or as the Server? | 02:37 |
| smaudet | on windows its been the easiest way to stay in contact, the BSD box is actually a router | 02:37 |
| smaudet | so the network connections come up/down all the time | 02:37 |
| smaudet | Dr_Willis, erm, I want a session on the BSD box | 02:37 |
| smaudet | So I guess its the server | 02:37 |
| Dr_Willis | serial connects to a linux box (or bsd) that is running mgetty. or getty, or some variant thats been assigned to 'read/access' the serial port | 02:38 |
| Dr_Willis | so.. serial terminal --> serial line --> pc running getty/mgetty/whatever thats reading from that port. | 02:38 |
| Dr_Willis | ive used dumb serial terminals on linux that way - ages ago | 02:38 |
| Dr_Willis | this is NOT 'networking' theres no slip/ppp involved. | 02:39 |
| Dr_Willis | its just a straight serial connection. | 02:39 |
| Dr_Willis | smaudet: ages ago there was a 'slip/ppp make your own isp' howto at tldp.org that i recall reading on how to get a network going over the serial line. | 02:39 |
| Dr_Willis | bbl.. got a job to do. ;P | 02:40 |

| ahoneybun | No I got the Ubuntu logo and loading screen on and then it goes blank | 03:20 |
| ahoneybun | So USB activity at all | 03:20 |
| wylde | xde3, then that's the most likely culprit. | 03:20 |
| smaudet | ahoneybun, yeah, it maybe works a bit and then you have to turn the backlight backon? | 03:20 |
| === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler | ||
| wylde | xde3, how did you install it? | 03:21 |
| reisio | sam113101: better yet search for one that is already used on the dash | 03:21 |
| smaudet | ahoneybun, I have had a similar experience with lenovo | 03:21 |
| uuball_gabriel | how to solve these problems? | 03:21 |
| reisio | sam113101: find ~/ -iname '*alreadyUsedOneString*.desktop' | less | 03:21 |
| smaudet | had me up a wall a whole day until I figured that out | 03:21 |
| reisio | uuball_gabriel: which? | 03:21 |
| uuball_gabriel | E: Encountered a section with no Package: header | 03:21 |
| uuball_gabriel | E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/www.debian-multimedia.org_dists_testing_main_i18n_Translation-en | 03:21 |
| ahoneybun | Oh I tried Kubuntu as well | 03:21 |
| xde3 | wylde: Ok, I dpkg --list | grep nvidia and found some things. Any suggestions on how to determine what to remove? | 03:21 |
| xde3 | wylde: If removing one of them is your suggestion | 03:22 |
| reisio | ahoneybun: oh man, you have given me breakfast inspiration | 03:22 |
| ahoneybun | It did pop out some things about the open source nvidia drivrr | 03:22 |
| smaudet | =/ | 03:22 |
| smaudet | ahoneybun, my lenovo uses Intel | 03:22 |
| smaudet | there could be driver problems | 03:22 |
| uuball_gabriel | using apt-get update? | 03:22 |
| ahoneybun | The thing is it has the nvidia but the board has a built in Intel as well | 03:23 |
| Jackson88438 | anyone here at umass able to help me install ubuntu? | 03:23 |
| smaudet | ahoneybun, well you could try seeing if you can figure out how to force the intel drivers | 03:23 |
| reisio | Jackson88438: what's the trouble? | 03:23 |
| smaudet | I know there's a way e.g. for forcing pure vga mode | 03:23 |
| wylde | xde3, you installed the packages via apt-get then I assume. Honestly I don't have any suggestions, since I don't know what's in that list ;) However, you could use 'sudo jockey-text' to search for and install the correct driver. | 03:24 |
| ahoneybun | smaudet: I was thinking that I was going to try out fedora to see it effects that as well | 03:24 |
| smaudet | ahoneybun, but that usually is some kernel parameter, so you may need to use a usb or a specially crafted distro | 03:24 |
| ahoneybun | But not tonight | 03:24 |
| smaudet | ahoneybun, yeah | 03:24 |
| xde3 | wylde: I think I know which one is the one I recently installed. I'm trying that and we'll see where that gets me | 03:24 |
| wylde | xde3, it "should" upon finding a driver propmt you to allow it to remove the old driver. | 03:25 |
| smaudet | try another distro, if you ahve a problem with fedora try a simple one that does plain vga mode | 03:25 |
| sam113101 | smaudet: where should I place the file? | 03:25 |
| smaudet | e.g. gparted | 03:25 |
| ahoneybun | 13.10 looks really pretty | 03:25 |
| smaudet | sam113101, euhm, the desktop? | 03:25 |
| smaudet | It is a desktop file after all, no? | 03:25 |
| ahoneybun | Just don't know much of fedora | 03:25 |
| sam113101 | smaudet: I don't know, man | 03:25 |
| sam113101 | I don't understand them yet | 03:26 |
| smaudet | ahoneybun, well its a completely different package management system | 03:26 |
| smaudet | and a different set of developers, whole different ball game | 03:26 |
| smaudet | so yeah | 03:26 |
| ahoneybun | Yea | 03:26 |
| ahoneybun | Yum vs apt | 03:26 |
| smaudet | I mean its binary compatible mostly I think | 03:26 |
| smaudet | random shared libraries will break. | 03:26 |
| ahoneybun | Not really | 03:26 |
| ahoneybun | Maybel | 03:27 |
| razzledazzle | hello dudes, can anyone tell me how can I make nautilus sort by file creation date instead of date modified? | 03:27 |
| smaudet | x64/x32 binaries are compatible across any linux distro | 03:27 |
| xde3 | wylde: That was it! Thanks for the support! | 03:27 |
| ahoneybun | All I know it sucks | 03:27 |
| smaudet | with the system at least | 03:27 |
| wylde | xde3, you're welcome :) | 03:27 |
| smaudet | just there are different libraries in different places, so sometimes they may complain | 03:27 |
| smaudet | if the binary wasn't statically compiled at least | 03:28 |
| ahoneybun | Bored of windows 8 and got a ps3 to game on now | 03:28 |
| smaudet | =/ | 03:28 |
| smaudet | windows 8 is a mess | 03:28 |
| ahoneybun | Maybe I'll try Linux mint or something | 03:28 |
| smaudet | but I have to live with it, since I'm not allowed to get rid of it | 03:28 |
| kirankumar | we have any software for ubuntustudio to use as a mobile partnersoftware same as windows software for connecting internet or calling by laptop | 03:29 |
| razzledazzle | ahoneybun, do you think purchasing a PS3 would be worth it as this time? | 03:29 |
| razzledazzle | *at | 03:29 |
| ahoneybun | I kinda like it since its like Ubuntu dash | 03:29 |
| sam113101 | where do I need to change my path in order for "commands" to pick up the change? | 03:29 |
| smaudet | razzledazzle, they are still coming out with games for it | 03:29 |
| smaudet | but this is !ot | 03:29 |
| Dr_Willis | sam113101: you set teh PATH variable to include whatever dirs you want in your default PATH | 03:29 |
| ahoneybun | Yes sorry | 03:29 |
| Jackson88438 | i dunno seems not able to install reisio, are u in umass? | 03:29 |
| sam113101 | Dr_Willis: where? | 03:29 |
| Dr_Willis | sam113101: or put links, or the binaries in one of the directories. such as in the users /home/username/bin | 03:29 |
| razzledazzle | smaudet, yeah, no backwards compatility too, so for PS3 games need a PS3 | 03:30 |
| Dr_Willis | sam113101: your .bashrc is one place | 03:30 |
| sam113101 | I do that in my zshrc, it's not enough it seems | 03:30 |
| Dr_Willis | sam113101: zsh has a similer variable i imagine | 03:30 |
| === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off | ||
| sam113101 | yes, it works inside a terminal | 03:30 |
| sam113101 | but not inside "commands" | 03:30 |
| sam113101 | (alt+f2) | 03:30 |
| wylde | o.O | 03:30 |
| Dr_Willis | what 'commands' do you mean | 03:30 |
| Dr_Willis | sam113101: perhaps because thats using bash? | 03:30 |
| smaudet | razzledazzle, its actually probably really smart to buy them actually, because the PS4 is coming out. | 03:31 |
| sam113101 | I don't know? | 03:31 |
| Jackson88438 | Anyone here in university of massachusetts free to help me install ubuntu OS? i can't seems to install, it's always stuck or grub error | 03:31 |
| smaudet | They're all gonna drop in price/no one will want them, so if you want to get into them its the perfect time ;) | 03:31 |
| Dr_Willis | sam113101: and did you use 'chsh' to set your default shell? | 03:31 |
| sam113101 | Dr_Willis: yes | 03:31 |
| sam113101 | my default shell is zsh | 03:31 |
| razzledazzle | smaudet, you mean like possible price reduction? | 03:31 |
| Dr_Willis | sam113101: perhaps set the path in your .bashrc as well | 03:31 |
| sam113101 | ~/Projects% echo $SHELL sam@fievel, 13-10-22 23:31 | 03:31 |
| sam113101 | /usr/bin/zsh | 03:31 |
| smaudet | razzledazzle, everyone turning their PS3 in for a PS4 | 03:32 |
| smaudet | anyways we're off topic | 03:32 |
| razzledazzle | smaudet, yep, and sorry | 03:32 |
| Dr_Willis | sam113101: run your alt-f2 thing and have it 'echo $SHELL > shell-is.txt' | 03:32 |
| moppy | you don't buy PS/3, you rent them. open it up and try to modify the thing and you get Sony lawyers all over you. | 03:32 |
| jmgk | hi all | 03:32 |
| Dr_Willis | sam113101: and see what it says the shell is its using | 03:32 |
| sam113101 | yeah that's what I was doing | 03:32 |
| Jackson88438 | Anyone here in university of massachusetts free to help me install ubuntu OS? i can't seems to install, it's always stuck or grub error | 03:32 |
| sophie_ | Random broad question: If power is defined as the amount of tasks and actions an OS can perform, is OS X as powerful as Linux? I.e is it as able? | 03:33 |
| Dr_Willis | !fixgrub | Jackson88438 | 03:33 |
| ubottu | Jackson88438: 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 | 03:33 |
| Dr_Willis | sophie_: define what you mean by tasks and actions. ;) | 03:33 |
| moppy | sophie_: THis is impossible to answer. There are too many variables. Both OS/X and Ubuntu work. | 03:33 |
| sam113101 | it doesn't even create a file | 03:34 |
| sophie_ | I mean, for example in terms of what I user can do with system, through terminal etc | 03:34 |
| Dr_Willis | sophie_: and the amount when? 'at a single time' ? the varity of tasks it can do? ;) | 03:34 |
| smaudet | sophie_, not to mention there are several interpretations of power, who's to say your random definition is valid? | 03:34 |
| sam113101 | what the hell | 03:34 |
| ianorlin | aren't both countably infinite? | 03:34 |
| Dr_Willis | sophie_: linux is about the most felxiable os out there. | 03:34 |
| smaudet | echo $SHELL > ~/shell-is.txt | 03:34 |
| smaudet | echo $SHELL > ~/Desktop/shell-is.txt | 03:34 |
| smaudet | one of those might work | 03:35 |
| Dr_Willis | smaudet: assuming the use of ~ works. ;) | 03:35 |
| sophie_ | I just always here people saying OS X is not as powerful and I wondered if it's actually true, I always assumed people meant it was locked down and that's what they meant by it not being as powerful. | 03:35 |
| sophie_ | *hear | 03:35 |
| sam113101 | smaudet: doesn't create a file | 03:35 |
| smaudet | Dr_Willis, I should think it does, unless there is a fake shell in there | 03:35 |
| sam113101 | ;_; | 03:35 |
| moppy | i honestly dont know how you define "powerful" | 03:35 |
| ianorlin | vauge question is vauge | 03:35 |
| smaudet | sam113101, just open up xterm or whatever | 03:35 |
| smaudet | run the command in there | 03:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Apple is very much 'we let users do what we SAY they can do' sort of company.. Linux is not a company ;) its a tool. | 03:36 |
| wylde | sophie_, well I'd say anything isn't hindered by proprietary licenses is more "powerful". ;) | 03:36 |
| sam113101 | smaudet: in gnome-terminal the shell is zsh | 03:36 |
| smaudet | Alt+F2 can be broken | 03:36 |
| ianorlin | or use control+alt+t to open up a terminal | 03:36 |
| sam113101 | maybe alt+f2 doesn't let you redirect things? | 03:36 |
| smaudet | Alt+F2 does some weird things sometimes | 03:37 |
| sam113101 | ;( | 03:37 |
| smaudet | Its not a shell. | 03:37 |
| sam113101 | what is it? | 03:37 |
| smaudet | It pastes things into a shell, maybe. | 03:37 |
| sam113101 | lawl | 03:37 |
| smaudet | In my experience though sometimes it tries to do that, but decides its not a command. | 03:37 |
| smaudet | And does goodness knows what. | 03:37 |
| Dr_Willis | alt-f2 'xterm -d echo $SHELL && read foo' | 03:37 |
| Dr_Willis | ;) | 03:37 |
| Dr_Willis | oops -e not -d | 03:38 |
| sam113101 | does nothing | 03:38 |
| smaudet | sam113101, you could try checking your 'shell' is enabled in alt+f2 | 03:39 |
| Dr_Willis | of course xterm may load up the default shell. | 03:39 |
| smaudet | I think its implemented as a plugin | 03:39 |
| smaudet | fyi alt+f2 is the unity-launcher in unity and klaunder in kubuntu | 03:39 |
| smaudet | klauncher* | 03:40 |
| smaudet | >_> | 03:40 |
| smaudet | It may or may not launder things as well | 03:40 |
| smaudet | <_< | 03:40 |
| crocket | marlin breaks after upgrading to ubuntu 13.10 | 03:41 |

| crocket | Some gtk themes break. | 03:41 |
| Dr_Willis | alt-f2 dosent seem to work in xubuntu | 03:41 |
| crocket | I think I need to do a clean upgrade on my home PC. | 03:41 |
| smaudet | ;D | 03:41 |

| sam113101 | it's not replaced with anything | 03:43 |
| Dr_Willis | means thers no shell it used. | 03:43 |
| Dr_Willis | try alt-f2 yes $(echo $SHELL) | 03:43 |
| Dr_Willis | ;) | 03:43 |
| smaudet | oh the h&x$rz | 03:44 |
| smaudet | -_- | 03:44 |
| sam113101 | still not replaced with anything | 03:45 |
| smaudet | sam113101: could be there is no SHELL? | 03:45 |
| sam113101 | $() is not evaluated | 03:45 |
| smaudet | export SHELL= | 03:45 |
| smaudet | should work | 03:45 |
| Dr_Willis | perhaps its time to hit up askubuntu.com on the topic. ;) | 03:45 |
| smaudet | what is your problem exactly? | 03:45 |
| Dr_Willis | could be its using sh | 03:45 |
| Dr_Willis | alt-f2 is not seeing stuff he added to his ZSH path | 03:46 |
| Dr_Willis | i think.. | 03:46 |
| smaudet | Mmm | 03:46 |
| sam113101 | I've added sublime_text to my path, I wanted to launch it from Commands because I can't pin it to the dash | 03:46 |
| sam113101 | but I can't do that either… | 03:46 |
| smaudet | So, like I said, Alt+F2 is borked | 03:46 |
| smaudet | Eugh, that problem | 03:46 |
| smaudet | Yeah ok I've had that myself | 03:46 |
| Dr_Willis | ive seen guides on how to make proper launchers for sublime on omgubuntu or webupd8 | 03:46 |
| smaudet | I never solved it but I've got a page or so of notes on the problem | 03:46 |
| Dr_Willis | make a whatever.desktop file that runs a script that runs the command ;) | 03:47 |
| Dr_Willis | then pin that to the panel perhaps | 03:47 |
| sam113101 | I'm going to try | 03:47 |
| smaudet | Basically there are like 3 different ways .desktop files can be indexed | 03:47 |
| smaudet | and three different programs which index them, and then you have to reload all sorts of fun databases | 03:47 |
| smaudet | X.X | 03:47 |
| Dr_Willis | or make a link the binary from your /home/username/bin/whatever ---> sublimne_stuff/command | 03:48 |
| smaudet | sometimes you just have to logout/login, and that still doesn't fix things | 03:48 |
| sam113101 | I must create a .desktop file on my desktop, right? | 03:49 |
| smaudet | Basically just put sublime text in your path and type 'sublime' and take advantage of the terminal's tab completion | 03:49 |
| smaudet | sam113101, yeah you can mess around with doing that | 03:49 |
| smaudet | I think the people who made Ubuntu's desktop system were silly | 03:49 |
| Dr_Willis | .desktop file can be most anywhere. or you can put it in your system wide dirs | 03:49 |
| smaudet | the $PATH is much more sensible | 03:49 |
| sam113101 | smaudet: yeah but I always end up doing "nohup sublime_text &>/dev/null" | 03:49 |
| Dr_Willis | i belive ive seen guides on setting up sublime on the webupd8 or omgubuntu blog sites | 03:50 |
| Dr_Willis | includieng some sort of installr scripts | 03:50 |
| smaudet | sam113101, this is why I use Terminator | 03:50 |
| smaudet | I just create a new tab and go on my merry way | 03:50 |
| smaudet | tab/pane | 03:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | why not just use sublime ppa? | 03:50 |
| sam113101 | what? there's one? | 03:51 |
| Dr_Willis | hitsujiTMO: i dont think it existed when the guides were made | 03:51 |
| Dr_Willis | i dont use the app. ;) | 03:51 |
| sam113101 | hitsujiTMO: show me! | 03:51 |
| smaudet | ^ | 03:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | ppa:webupd8team/sublime-text-2 that has been there for 2.5 years now | 03:51 |
| smaudet | sam113101, facepalm, google is your friend | 03:52 |
| Dr_Willis | http://www.webupd8.org/2013/07/sublime-text-3-ubuntu-ppa-now-available.html | 03:52 |
| smaudet | ppa sublime text ;) | 03:52 |
| hitsujiTMO | ppa:webupd8team/sublime-text-3 for 3 beta | 03:52 |
| Dr_Willis | mentioned on the blog sites i mentioned.... ;) | 03:52 |
| hitsujiTMO | first thing i look for when installing anything not in repo, or i need something later than repo, is a ppa | 03:53 |
| Dr_Willis | those are not official ppa's from the sublime people it seems | 03:53 |
| crocket | Will there be a tablet that runs plain ubuntu or other linux distros? | 03:53 |
| Dr_Willis | The package in the PPA is just an installer and works like our Oracle Java Installer package: it downloads the Sublime Text 3 archive from its website and installs it on the system. The PPA does not host any Sublime Text 3 files. | 03:53 |
| crocket | I really want a tablet that runs a desktop linux distro. | 03:54 |
| hitsujiTMO | Dr_Willis: why make debs and rpms when you can just release a tar.gz and know someone else will package it for you | 03:54 |
| Dr_Willis | crocket: one running kubuntu was supposed to be comming out.. but its vaporware as far as i know. | 03:54 |
| Dr_Willis | crocket: intel has mentioned $100 intel based tablets out by xmas time | 03:54 |
| Dr_Willis | hitsujiTMO: i dont see the point in using that editor at all really. ;) | 03:54 |
| moppy | crocket: you should be able to install on an x86 tablet. i've heard of people who have done it. | 03:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | what sublime text? | 03:55 |
| sam113101 | hitsujiTMO: love you <3, thanks ;) | 03:55 |
| Dr_Willis | sublime users should be posting on the sublime forums/bug reports asking for a PPA ;) | 03:55 |
| Dr_Willis | an 'official' sublime ppa | 03:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | Dr_Willis: a ppa from sublime is unnecessary, webupd8 team do a good job | 03:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm. another text editor ive not heard of --> http://www.webupd8.org/2013/02/try-textadept-fast-cross-platform-text.html | 03:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | an they are reliable | 03:56 |
| crocket | moppy : The distro that runs on a tablet needs a convenient screen keyboard. | 03:57 |
| crocket | Dr_Willis, Can you refer me to the link? | 03:57 |
| lotus-blade | i have 2 nics and the second one is not coming up active | 03:57 |
| lotus-blade | any idea what could cause this? | 03:58 |
| Dr_Willis | hitsujiTMO: for a comercial product.. they shouldent have to be doing it at all. | 03:58 |
| crocket | So far, the only tablets that run a desktop OS are windows tablets. | 03:58 |
| Dr_Willis | crocket: the kubuntu tablet - is vaporware.. and ive not seen any real intel devices mentiooned anywhere yet | 03:58 |
| Dr_Willis | http://www.techguylabs.com/episodes/1018/intel-create-100-tablet-christmas | 03:59 |
| moppy | crocket: i don't understand. Don't all tablets have an on-screen keyboard? | 03:59 |
| crocket | not very good | 03:59 |
| Dr_Willis | id bet a $100 tablet is not going to be running windows | 03:59 |
| crocket | moppy : I want a desktop OS that has a screen keyboard. | 03:59 |
| crocket | moppy : A trimmed-down OS is not my thing. | 04:00 |
| Dr_Willis | i run android on several desktop boxs ;) | 04:00 |
| moppy | you know you can install a regular distro on an x86 tablet? | 04:00 |
| crocket | Seriously, 100$? | 04:00 |
| crocket | moppy : Even iPad? | 04:00 |
| moppy | x86 | 04:00 |
| Dr_Willis | crocket: thats the 'buzz' i will wait tilli see actual devices befor beliveing it | 04:00 |
| moppy | ipads arent x86 | 04:01 |
| crocket | Not being able to run a terminal on a tablet is an annoyance. | 04:01 |

| hitsujiTMO | dr_willis, the big problem with linux, is the massive variation in distros, from DE, to file system support, to how to package and distribute software. releasing a tar.gz and leaving the community to build ppas, oar package rpms takes a massive load off linux developers and allows then to focus on the actual product, not the distribution. plus it allows any user full control on how it is installed if they wish | 04:02 |
| crocket | moppy : I'd do it if ubuntu has a fine screen keyboard. | 04:02 |
| Dr_Willis | crocket: currently the ubuntu-touch onscreen keyboard - is somewhat lacking from what ive read. | 04:02 |
| crocket | Dr_Willis, Alex Chiang from Canonical said they were thinking hard about enabling the desktop mode on tablet screens. | 04:03 |
| Dr_Willis | crocket: i will belive it when i see it. ;) i got a Nexus7 and decided to not install ubuntu on it at this time | 04:03 |
| crocket | Damn | 04:03 |
| hitsujiTMO | crocket, if they don't, someone else will | 04:04 |
| crocket | When will I be able to carry a desktop PC in the form of a tablet? | 04:04 |
| crocket | Even a 1.1kg laptop is heavy to carry. | 04:04 |
| crocket | It's bulky and heavy. | 04:04 |
| trollboy | so I recently got a shiny new MSI motherboard... which had an insane stupid APC setup and made ubuntu suck.. | 04:04 |
| Dr_Willis | crocket: there may be x86 tablets out that you can install ubuntu to. just not seen any in the mass markets | 04:04 |
| trollboy | so if I'm shopping for a shiny new i7 box.. what HW do you guys recommend? | 04:04 |
| crocket | Dr_Willis, What about the lack of a fine screen keyboard in ubuntu? | 04:05 |
| Dr_Willis | trollboy: see whats recommenede at the tomshardware site perhaps? | 04:05 |
| crocket | If I have to attach a keyboard to the tablet, I'd just carry a laptop. | 04:05 |
| Dr_Willis | crocket: deal with it? with your logic.. there is none.. so you have no answqer.. give up. | 04:05 |
| moppy | ubutnu's keyboard is not that good. gnome3 has a nice screen one | 04:06 |
| * Dr_Willis sticks to his netbook and tablet | 04:06 | |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu touch is to be the focus for the devlopers for the next few release cycles. so it will improve over time. | 04:06 |
| Dr_Willis | that may hurt the ubuntu desktop/normal pc users ;( | 04:06 |
| trollboy | checking now... I was operating under the impression that tom's was mostly for windows gaming rigs and the overclocker kids | 04:06 |
| hitsujiTMO | crocket, maybe you should have picked up one of these back in the day: http://i00.i.aliimg.com/wsphoto/v0/749398918/Oqo-model-03.jpg | 04:06 |
| moppy | hrm it seems there a lot of guides for installing Fedora w/ gnome 3 on a tablet | 04:07 |
| Dr_Willis | trollboy: hardware reviews.. is hardware reviews.. | 04:07 |
| trollboy | Right, but I want ubuntu compatibility... the MSI I had had great HW reviews | 04:07 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest76793 | ||
| Guest76793 | hi O | 04:07 |
| Guest76793 | trollboy: on windows lol | 04:08 |
| crocket | hmm | 04:08 |
| crocket | Does GNOME 3 have a nice screen keyboard? | 04:08 |
| trollboy | Guest76793, precisely | 04:08 |
| trollboy | I'm not really hip to spending a grand on HW and then shipping it all back and trying for another combination | 04:09 |
| Dr_Willis | http://www.pengpod.com/products/pengpod700 Linux/Android Dual boot it says... | 04:09 |
| Guest76793 | trollboy: that;s good enough for me | 04:09 |
| moppy | hitsujiTMO: what is that? | 04:09 |
| trollboy | I'm pro-linux, but I mostly work on server stuff and am far removed from Desktop HW | 04:09 |
| moppy | trollboy: is this a gaming rig? | 04:09 |
| trollboy | I understand most HW devs develop for windows and then go take a nap | 04:09 |
| trollboy | Nope | 04:10 |
| hitsujiTMO | that was a oqo model 3 from the UMPC era. | 04:10 |
| moppy | why 1K ? | 04:10 |
| Dr_Willis | trollboy: see what system76 uses.. and buy the same parts. | 04:10 |
| Guest76793 | how are you chatting rigghtnow what irc client is there on ubuntu server? | 04:10 |
| jmgk | Xchat | 04:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest76793: theres text mode irc clients. ;) | 04:10 |
| moppy | Guest76793: type 'irc' into ubuntu software centre (it's the main "appstore") | 04:10 |
| smaudet | Dr_Willis, so I figured out how to get onto my tty (using putty in the end); I was never able to get minicom to work. It ... made I/O ... weird. On things that weren't minicom. Ideas? | 04:10 |
| trollboy | This is an old i3 box | 04:10 |
| trollboy | thus the desire to upgrade | 04:10 |
| moppy | trollboy: What i mean is, what use case do you have for building a 1K rig if not gaming? pro audio? | 04:11 |
| Dr_Willis | smaudet: its not clear what you mean. :) if you dont have your parity/bit/xonxoff stuff right.. you can get giberish | 04:11 |
| trollboy | I setup test environments | 04:11 |
| moppy | ok so running multiple VMs or something? | 04:11 |
| trollboy | I run some servers locally.. and like to spin up vm's a lot | 04:11 |
| sophie_ | Multi virtualisation? protein folding etc | 04:11 |
| smaudet | Dr_Willis: it was like minicom was keylogging me | 04:11 |
| Dr_Willis | smaudet: you mean repeating everything youi type twice lliikkee tthhiiss? | 04:12 |
| trollboy | sophie_, multi virtualisation | 04:12 |
| smaudet | Dr_Willis, I mean if I switched to IRC it output random gibberish inside the window | 04:12 |
| smaudet | where minicom was | 04:12 |
| trollboy | and when I buy a computer, i don't want to see an hour glass for a while or wait for a prompt to return :-/ | 04:12 |
| sophie_ | Virtualisation is about the only thing that I can fill my ram with | 04:12 |
| dopie | how do i remove a directory which is not empty?\ | 04:12 |
| Dr_Willis | smaudet: thats weird. No idea on that. | 04:13 |
| dopie | rmdir | 04:13 |
| dopie | ?! | 04:13 |
| crocket | oh my god | 04:13 |
| Dr_Willis | dopie: rm -rf dirname | 04:13 |
| moppy | dopie: rm -fr will do it | 04:13 |
| sophie_ | Would rmdir -R work? | 04:13 |
| crocket | kubunu active is available!!! | 04:13 |
| crocket | oh man | 04:13 |
| lotuspsychje | morning to all | 04:13 |
| dopie | thank you all | 04:13 |
| dopie | :) | 04:13 |
| moppy | active? | 04:13 |
| moppy | oh their live USB, i see | 04:14 |
| trollboy | but yeah, no gaming rigs. I believe games, much like sex, are better with other people than with computers. | 04:14 |
| * trollboy looks lovingly at his large box of oddly shaped dice. | 04:14 | |
| smaudet | Dr_Willis, but it output random gibberish inside there anyways, so I'm guessing I wasn't using minicom correctly in the first place. Could have been just the baud rate which was set wrong, also wrong parity/bits, but I should have been able to get a shell, yes? | 04:15 |
| sophie_ | The only game I really play consistently is eve online :3 | 04:15 |
| crocket | Is plasma active the only tablet interface on a real linux stack? | 04:15 |
| Guest76793 | moppy: fascinating I'm gettg one right now | 04:15 |
| Guest76793 | do I look dumb with this nick name? | 04:15 |
| Dr_Willis | sam113101: in the old days.. id run mgetty on the server. with like 8n1 3200 baud. then on the client.. run minicom and tell it the same settings and the port.. hit enter a few times.. id get a 'Login:' prompt ;) | 04:16 |
| smaudet | putty just seemed to know what to do on the other hand, launched up a terminal on the right tty | 04:16 |
| lotuspsychje | Guest76793: its more handy for us if you change nick | 04:16 |
| moppy | i remember when i upgraded from 300 baud modem to 9600? it was like being on a terminal! | 04:16 |
| smaudet | so I'm curious, do you know what I was doing wrong perhaps with minicom? | 04:16 |
| Dr_Willis | smaudet: it might have scanned/polled/tried stuff ;) | 04:17 |
| Dr_Willis | ive not used a serial port connection in err.. decades | 04:17 |
| Guest76793 | Ubuntu live doesn't store the smuxi I install even if is using persistent data | 04:17 |
| Dr_Willis | I lost part of my serial terminal ages ago.. so tossed it out.. then found the parts i was missing. ;) lol | 04:17 |
| smaudet | Its not that odd really | 04:17 |
| Dr_Willis | smaudet: i basically was using 'real' hardware based serial terminals. vt100 and so forth. | 04:18 |
| smaudet | Our Comp Sci department was still using serial based boards for embedded purposes, not because usb isn't a thing but because cheap usb isn't a thing ;) | 04:18 |
| Dr_Willis | I cant even justify having them any more. no room. | 04:18 |
| moppy | i've used serial ports recently but not for computing; they're still popular for talking to embedded systems | 04:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | i take it you dont work with routers then dr_willis | 04:18 |
| smaudet | moppy, exactly | 04:18 |
| Dr_Willis | last time i used serial ports was to connect my amiga to a pc over a phone modem to transfer files | 04:18 |
| Dr_Willis | hitsujiTMO: just home ussage. i dont get into fancy stuff any more | 04:19 |
| Dr_Willis | only fancy things i mess with these days are my Raspberry Pi's and a few android-set top devices | 04:19 |
| moppy | multile pi? | 04:19 |
| moppy | multiple | 04:19 |
| Dr_Willis | More Rasperbby Pis the better. ;) | 04:19 |
| smaudet | Dr_Willis, well and the Raspberry Pi's are all USB I imagine | 04:19 |
| smaudet | yes? | 04:20 |
| smaudet | Unless they make serial pie | 04:20 |
| smaudet | >_> | 04:20 |
| Dr_Willis | they got some serial add on i belive.. never notice3d. | 04:20 |
| Dr_Willis | theres expansion ports/pins gpio on them | 04:20 |
| Dr_Willis | im not much into hardware hacking these days | 04:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Unless you count my Home Made Pi Cases ;) | 04:21 |
| smaudet | Heh | 04:21 |
| crocket | Dr_Willis, I think I'll install kubuntu active on Nexus 7. | 04:21 |
| smaudet | I discovered OpenSCAD recently myself. | 04:21 |
| crocket | Finally a real linux | 04:22 |
| bray90820 | well when I installed 10.9 i got an app in launchpad called X11 | 04:22 |
| smaudet | What a breath of fresh air, after so many years of struggling with lousy 3D programs and designer 3d programs like Blender | 04:22 |
| smaudet | 3d modeling for programmer types, can you imagine that. Took long enough for someone to make it. (No, VRML didn't count). | 04:23 |
| hitsujiTMO | ahh, bender, a ux nightmare | 04:23 |
| smaudet | Blender hitsujiTMO, have you tried the latest version? | 04:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | not used blender in over a year | 04:25 |
| smaudet | They claim (those people who use it regularly) that its UX works better. | 04:25 |
| moppy | ive not yet found a 3d cad package with a good UI. zbrush does but it's not cad | 04:25 |
| hitsujiTMO | does it still not ask you to save an open project when you close the app? | 04:25 |
| smaudet | Iunno, I seem to remember it autosaved stuff every 15 minutes | 04:26 |
| smaudet | Blender was always really nice if you wanted to do art, but it sucked for pretty much anything else. | 04:27 |
| smaudet | And no one enjoyed it who'd had any 3dsmax experience. | 04:28 |
| sophie_ | Isn't Blender pretty good nowadays though? | 04:28 |
| smaudet | For art, yes. | 04:29 |
| Dr_Willis | crocket: not heard of it. | 04:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | blender for the most part is actually pretty, ok, once you learn all the keyboard shortcuts .... the main issue is that when you have 3 or so projects open at the same time, editing and copying from one to anther in a crazy rush to get a project done, forgetting to save, then once you're done you close out the app windows ... forgetting to save ... and the last window you closed overwrote the auto save for all the rest and you're left with | 04:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | 1/3 of whatyou've been working on for the past 16 hours ... all because the app doesn't ask you to save a file when it has unsaved changes | 04:29 |
| smaudet | I can't use if for the life of me. :P | 04:29 |
| smaudet | <---- Not an artist | 04:29 |
| reisio | you can do a lot with a 3d modeller without being an artist :) | 04:30 |
| smaudet | like? | 04:31 |
| reisio | lake make a model of something and have shapeways print it into physicality | 04:31 |
| reisio | s/lake/like | 04:31 |
| Dr_Willis | years of experience loseing things ===> trained to save every 20 min. | 04:31 |
| HisaoNakai | Dr_Willis: *after every change | 04:31 |
| smaudet | reisio, sure, as art | 04:31 |
| reisio | while(true); do rdiff-backup foo bar; sleep 20m; done | 04:31 |
| Dr_Willis | answer the doorbell.. save befor... | 04:31 |
| reisio | smaudet: nah, that's not art | 04:31 |
| Dr_Willis | grandkids running around... save every 5 min; 0 | 04:31 |
| reisio | smaudet: could be, but needn't be | 04:32 |
| smaudet | reisio, give me a concrete example of something useful (that doesn't fall under the category of cad) | 04:32 |
| Dr_Willis | little kids like to hit the power button on pc's | 04:32 |
| Dionist | Yo. Is this the place I go for help with Ubuntu-related stuff? | 04:32 |
| hitsujiTMO | smaudet: you can write a game | 04:32 |
| reisio | smaudet: hrmm? | 04:32 |
| HisaoNakai | Dr_Willis: lol | 04:32 |
| reisio | Dr_Willis: and cats | 04:32 |
| reisio | Dionist: yes | 04:32 |
| smaudet | hitsujiTMO, ok, but that's art | 04:32 |
| HisaoNakai | Dionist: evidently. | 04:32 |
| reisio | games? Needn't be art | 04:32 |
| === n is now known as Guest91837 | ||
| Dionist | Well, I currently have a very frustrating and confusing issue. | 04:32 |
| smaudet | the programming isn't but that's not art, and that's not a modeler | 04:33 |
| lotuspsychje | is there a package that can zero drives GUI a fast way? like when if the FBI knock on your door? | 04:33 |
| moppy | amazing how times have changed with saving | 04:33 |
| reisio | a hexaedron isn't art | 04:33 |
| reisio | nor is a model you copied verbatim from a someone else's hand drawing | 04:33 |
| reisio | art is something else entirely :) | 04:33 |
| reisio | from someone* | 04:33 |
| smaudet | lotuspsychje, it is called a sledge hammer over your computer | 04:33 |
| Dr_Willis | lotuspsychje: every so often it gets asked how to delete drives.. most of th etime the conclusion is using dd with /dev/zero works well. | 04:33 |
| === Guest91837 is now known as rosco | ||
| rosco | ANYONE: need help converting avi to smv | 04:34 |
| smaudet | you install them from the hardware store | 04:34 |
| Dionist | I downloaded a .swf game off the internet and... at first I tried to find a way to play it without the browser and attempted to play it with Gnash... except the result was it attempting to play everything in the game all at once. | 04:34 |
| moppy | used to be, you got yelled for forgetting to save. now computer literate users dont know to save becauase of cloud | 04:34 |
| Dr_Willis | rosco: smv? thats a new one. | 04:34 |
| smaudet | I recommend string and scissors ;) | 04:34 |
| reisio | rosco: ffmpeg | 04:34 |
| lotuspsychje | smaudet: lol and bad luck of hd still remains... | 04:34 |
| rosco | ? | 04:34 |
| Dr_Willis | rosco: whats a smv? mencoder and ffmpeg can convert to most formats | 04:34 |
| rosco | i think the phillips 16GB video player (mp3) player on takes that video format | 04:34 |
| smaudet | lotuspsychje, no no no you install the HDD on the outside of the case | 04:34 |
| smaudet | so its the first to get hit by the sledge hammer | 04:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | lotuspsychje: neodymium magnets also help | 04:34 |
| rosco | all links in googling are dead | 04:34 |
| Dionist | Then I finally figured out how to play it properly... only when I open a new game, it results in that same "everything at once" loop and becomes unplayable. It works fine online, but not offline anywhere because of that Gnash glitch. | 04:35 |
| moppy | i hear so many stories "first job straight out of school -> into a company wiht traditional software -> doesn't know you have to save" | 04:35 |
| rosco | this is like 2007 stuff. | 04:35 |
| lotuspsychje | hitsujiTMO: no recovery possible afterwards? | 04:35 |
| smaudet | hitsujiTMO, but neodymium magnets take a while | 04:35 |
| Dr_Willis | rosco: find a video it CAN play. and then determine its codec and settings perhaps. | 04:35 |
| reisio | rosco: that's good advice | 04:35 |
| Dionist | I figured it was due to it saving somewhere and attempted to delete all the flash save memory to fix it, rebooting... still same broken loop. | 04:35 |
| smaudet | if you need something instantaneous you can't beat the sledge hammer ;) | 04:35 |
| lotuspsychje | i would rather choose a dd sortalike but GUI like Dr_Willis suggested | 04:35 |
| reisio | but if it takes longer to figure out than the time it would take to earn the money to replace it, stop | 04:35 |
| Dionist | Tried purging ALL cache, browsers, disk, everything... | 04:35 |
| Dr_Willis | rosco: most old devices i have can play mp4's | 04:35 |
| hitsujiTMO | lotuspsychje: not if you've a strong enough magnet | 04:35 |
| Dionist | STILL THAT GODDAMN LOOP. | 04:35 |
| lotuspsychje | !caps | Dionist | 04:36 |
| ubottu | Dionist: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 04:36 |
| Dionist | sORRY. | 04:36 |
| Dionist | Sorry. | 04:36 |
| Dionist | But yes. | 04:36 |
| Dionist | Advice on my issue? | 04:36 |
| rosco | i've tried playing mp4 by changing the extension from avi or mkv to mp4. no luck. Dr_Willis . and hello. long time no talk together | 04:36 |
| smaudet | hitsujiTMO, if you've got that strong of a magnet...I'll wager you have other issues | 04:36 |
| moppy | Dionist: get a flash disassembler | 04:37 |
| Dionist | I've tried purging all the data and cache memory I could find, and... | 04:37 |
| hitsujiTMO | smaudet: you just might be right | 04:37 |
| Dr_Willis | rosco: changeing the extension dosent change anything. ;) and avi can be any of several hundered codecs ;) | 04:37 |
| lotuspsychje | hitsujiTMO: also with a magnet, if you have few computers and many drives | 04:37 |
| Dionist | moppy, how would that help? | 04:37 |
| rosco | i don't understand codec stuff. just extension names | 04:37 |
| Dr_Willis | rosco: find an avi that works. and determine what codec and settings its using | 04:37 |
| reisio | rosco: well mp4 is more than an extension | 04:37 |
| Dr_Willis | rosco: extenion names mean very little | 04:37 |
| smaudet | lotuspsychje, in that case you need a furnace going 24/7 | 04:37 |
| rosco | they work on computer. i'm lost | 04:37 |
| smaudet | ideally something that melts metal | 04:38 |
| lotuspsychje | Dr_Willis: how about a script with a launch icon that autmaticly dd zero all drives? | 04:38 |
| Dr_Willis | rosco: ... find video that works.. determine its codec. | 04:38 |
| Dr_Willis | lotuspsychje: sounds silly to me. ;) | 04:38 |
| reisio | rosco: what's the device make/model? | 04:38 |
| rosco | Dr_Willis: you mean works on computer? | 04:38 |
| netlar | Should I wait to upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10, to let some of the bugs be worked out | 04:38 |
| smaudet | lotuspsychje, that won't work, its standard forensics to recover a wiped drive like that | 04:38 |
| Dr_Willis | rosco: No... that works on YOUR PLAYER.. | 04:38 |
| Dionist | moppy? Anyone? | 04:38 |
| reisio | netlar: up to you | 04:38 |
| hitsujiTMO | netlar do you use a lot of ppas? | 04:38 |
| rosco | phillips 16GB mp3 player. plays video. | 04:38 |
| reisio | rosco: need the model # | 04:38 |
| netlar | hitsujiTMO: I have several ppas yes | 04:38 |
| lotuspsychje | smaudet: you say you can recover from a zero command after? | 04:38 |
| smaudet | yup | 04:39 |
| Dr_Willis | rosco: so FIND a video that works on the player... put the video on the pc.. and look at what codec its useing | 04:39 |
| rosco | Dr_Willis: i don't have a video that plays on player. this is the issue. | 04:39 |
| smaudet | I mean I don't personally have the equipment sitting on my desk | 04:39 |
| smaudet | but if you're dealing with the FBI a zero command does about nadda | 04:39 |
| moppy | Dionist: you could tr with WINE as well. flash on linux doesn't work properly except for google chrome | 04:39 |
| Dr_Willis | rosco: hit up google i gues suntill you find a mention in some docs somewhere as to what codecs it supports | 04:39 |
| hitsujiTMO | netlar: best to purge them before the upgrade ... ppas are the no1 cause of problems that i've seem, after graphics | 04:39 |
| reisio | smaudet: that is apocryphal AIUI | 04:39 |
| Dr_Willis | rosco: or just start trying things | 04:39 |
| reisio | nobody has shown you can recover data fro a zero'd drive | 04:39 |
| cbilljones | compiz was just using 2.5 gigs of ram on my pc | 04:39 |
| lotuspsychje | smaudet: well i need a fast way to crash all hd's and data sit on it with one button | 04:39 |
| Dionist | moppy, I also opened it on google chrome, It still had that broken loop. | 04:40 |
| smaudet | reisio, erm | 04:40 |
| Dionist | It's not due to the format or what I opened it with. | 04:40 |
| smaudet | reisio, I'm pretty sure they have done it | 04:40 |
| netlar | hitsujiTMO: Graphics is my main concern | 04:40 |
| moppy | a zero fill can be recovered. the secure fill is 7+ wipes with 0s and 1s. that wont be recovered | 04:40 |
| reisio | smaudet: right, but they haven't | 04:40 |
| hitsujiTMO | reisio: actually it has been demonstrated .... just costs waay too much to do | 04:40 |
| reisio | smaudet: _very_ common myth | 04:40 |
| netlar | hitsujiTMO: I had to spend some time configuring it for 13.04 | 04:40 |
| rosco | i found the model on the phillips gogear website. it doesn't say much. i guess b/c it is so old. Dr_Willis | 04:40 |
| reisio | hitsujiTMO: no it hasn't, not on any disks people still use | 04:40 |
| rosco | what is a codec? | 04:40 |
| reisio | besides forensics isn't how a person gets your data | 04:41 |
| reisio | room service is | 04:41 |
| Dr_Willis | rosco: how the vidoe is encoded | 04:41 |
| moppy | reisio: forensics recover 0 filled drives all the time. | 04:41 |
| rosco | i found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=875044 | 04:41 |
| Dionist | moppy It's save data from that game stored somewhere with the glitchy loop saved, so every time I open the game, even downloading a new one, it still has that glitchy loop. | 04:41 |
| reisio | moppy: link me to a single documented instance | 04:41 |
| rosco | but links are dead | 04:41 |
| Dionist | moppy Even on Google Chrome! | 04:41 |
| smaudet | reisio, no, I believe they can do it, because they don't go at it with the normal disk head | 04:41 |
| smaudet | they take the platters out and do a very fine analysis | 04:41 |
| reisio | smaudet: belief is a wonderful quality | 04:41 |
| smaudet | reisio, right, and I'm looking for the articles to back me up | 04:42 |
| reisio | smaudet: it just isn't necessarily to do with reality | 04:42 |
| Dionist | I even tried to fix it by deleting all the flash cache, disk cache, every form of memory source I could find... | 04:42 |
| reisio | smaudet: I'd be interested if you found one | 04:42 |
| Dionist | Still pulling up glitched save data. | 04:42 |
| Dionist | This is driving me insane. | 04:42 |
| smaudet | reisio, like I said I'm pretty sure they exist, unless the Forensic Major was spouting nonsense about the PhD work going on in their field | 04:42 |
| reisio | smaudet: that is much more likely | 04:42 |
| Dr_Willis | rosco: some times those players came with converter software. you just need to use it to convert one video to a format it can pley. then determine the info from that file | 04:43 |
| reisio | it is a _wiiiidddeeely_ held belief, with no evidence to back it up | 04:43 |
| apb | i'm trying to remove permissions on a dir. I'm doing chmod 0 dir It's not working. I've also tried chmod o-rwx dir ... no change. It's still 777. I'm perplexed. | 04:43 |
| stimoceiver | hi, been ogling google for the past couple days, looking for the definitive route to get RADEON HD4xxx series driver support instead of nouveaux? | 04:43 |
| Dionist | Alright then. Is anyone other than moppy willing to help, recommend ideas, anything? | 04:43 |
| reisio | perpetuated by people who tink the government (who mandates more than zero fill) is actually smart, and not just paid by the hour | 04:43 |
| rosco | Dr_Willis: you've mentioned | 04:43 |
| reisio | s/tink/think | 04:43 |
| rosco | codec and info. where do i get this? | 04:43 |
| reisio | stimoceiver: what make/model device do you have? | 04:43 |
| Dr_Willis | rosco: codec is HOW the video is saved. | 04:43 |
| reisio | rosco: ffmpeg -i foo.avi | 04:44 |
| rosco | Dr_Willis: in other words, the extension? | 04:44 |
| reisio | rosco: no | 04:44 |
| stimoceiver | reisio: radeon HD4870 | 04:44 |
| reisio | ross`: ffmpeg -i foo.avi 2>&1 | egrep -i 'video:|audio:' | 04:44 |
| Dr_Willis | rosco: again.. the file name itself means nothing.. thats for YOUR benifit | 04:44 |
| Dionist | Are people looking into it or are you all just ignoring me? | 04:44 |
| Dr_Willis | rosco: renameing foo.txt to foo.avi does not make that file a video. | 04:44 |
| reisio | Dionist: we don't know what you're talking about, 'cause it's not in our chat buffer | 04:45 |
| rosco | okay. so where do i get the "codec?" is it a number sequence? | 04:45 |
| Dr_Willis | rosco: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_codec | 04:45 |
| reisio | ross`: ffmpeg -i foo.avi 2>&1 | egrep -i 'video:|audio:' | 04:45 |
| reisio | rosco: ffmpeg -i foo.avi 2>&1 | egrep -i 'video:|audio:' | 04:45 |
| Dr_Willis | rosco: you find a video that works.. and determine what codec the video is using | 04:45 |
| reisio | whoops | 04:45 |
| stimoceiver | reisio: radeon HD4870 is the make/model of videocard I have | 04:45 |
| reisio | stimoceiver: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver | 04:45 |
| Dr_Willis | rosco: untill you find one that works.. or some docs saying what codec it supports.. we cant really do much more | 04:46 |
| rosco | Dr_Willis: renaming foo.xls to foo.ods works for me | 04:46 |
| reisio | rosco: it's highly likely if you specify the model number, there is documentation online to be found | 04:46 |
| stimoceiver | reisio: thanks | 04:46 |
| rosco | reisio: i've no idea what you're typing | 04:46 |
| reisio | rosco: because those are both just opened by an office app that determines the format afterwards | 04:46 |
| reisio | rosco: it's a command | 04:47 |
| Dr_Willis | rosco: he gave the command to determine the codecs from a video file you find that plays on your player | 04:47 |
| stimoceiver | reisio: i looked at this before, there doesnt appear to be anything about what to do if it isn't automatically detected | 04:47 |
| reisio | if you have VLC, you can right click and get the info, too, but I'm not sure it'll be as useful | 04:47 |
| Dionist | Attempted to open .swf game in Gnash to play it. Gnash attempts to play it all at once, breaking it and playing it unplayable. Delete the .swf and download a new one of same game, tried playing on browser instead, seems to work... until I try to open a new game, and turns out it saved that broken loop Gnash caused as game data. Attempt to delete the game data by clearing cache everywhere I can, even disk cache. Still opens up the br | 04:47 |
| Dionist | There! | 04:47 |
| reisio | Dionist: cut off | 04:47 |
| rosco | http://www.usa.philips.com/c/mp3-media-player/gogear-ariaz-16gb-sa4ara16kf_37/prd/en/ | 04:47 |
| reisio | Dionist: why not use Adobe's Flash player? | 04:47 |
| reisio | stimoceiver: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI | 04:48 |
| Dionist | Reisio, the point is that even when I can play the game properly, as I've found a way to, it still tries to open the result of the Gnash broken loop as game data, re-breaking the game! | 04:48 |
| reisio | Dionist: I'd stop using gnash | 04:48 |
| smaudet | reisio, A) prove you aren't a disinformation agent spreading lies to make it easier to steal data ( ;) ) B) I don't think it is 'without proof', I don't know what research you have or havent' done into the subjec tyourself | 04:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | Dionist: why not use chrome and it's flash player? | 04:49 |
| stimoceiver | reisio: I dont seem to be able to get either the open source radeon driver or the proprietary one to function. | 04:49 |
| Dionist | Reisio, so I can't play the game even then unless I delete that glitched game data, but I deleted all the cache I can find, already uninstalled and deleted Gnash! | 04:49 |
| reisio | rosco: http://download.p4c.philips.com/files/s/sa4ara16kf_37/sa4ara16kf_37_dfu_aen.pdf | 04:49 |
| Dionist | Is anyone freaking reading anything I'm saying!? | 04:49 |
| wylde | rosco, WMV9: 320 x 240, 30 fps, 512kbps <--- you have to convert the videos you want to that. | 04:49 |
| reisio | smaudet: I don't have to, you have no evidence, that is the definition of unproven | 04:49 |
| reisio | Dionist: you listening to me when I suggest not using gnash? | 04:50 |
| stimoceiver | reisio: part of the problem seems to be my system is using nouveaux instead of the open/source radeon driver | 04:50 |
| stimoceiver | reisio: | 04:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | stimoceiver: bouveaux = nvidia | 04:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | nouveaux* | 04:50 |
| stimoceiver | hitsujiTMO: whats a definitive command line to tell me which driver X is using? | 04:50 |
| * wilee-nilee reaches for the tinfoil | 04:50 | |
| Dionist | Reisio- I stopped using Gnash ages ago, I uninstalled it and everything, but it somehow saved the broken loop as game data somewhere so even if I open up the game in Google Chrome, it opens up the broken game data automatically and re-breaks it! | 04:51 |
| reisio | wylde: where's that from? | 04:51 |
| Dionist | That's the fourth time already I had to explain it! | 04:51 |
| reisio | stimoceiver: that's unlikely, because of what hitsujiTMO said | 04:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | stimoceiver: i actually cant think of one | 04:51 |
| wylde | reisio, http://www.usa.philips.com/c/mp3-media-player/gogear-ariaz-16gb-sa4ara16kf_37/prd/en/?t=specifications Very bottom under "Video Playback" | 04:51 |
| reisio | Dionist: if you say so, I hadn't seen that bit before | 04:51 |
| smaudet | reisio: you have no evidence either | 04:51 |
| reisio | wylde: heh | 04:51 |
| reisio | smaudet: which is why I don't believe it can be done | 04:51 |
| smaudet | so its your word against mine | 04:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | stimoceiver: whats loaded in your Xorg.0.log | 04:52 |
| hitsujiTMO | ? | 04:52 |
| Dionist | Reisio- I've tried everything I can think of, including purging all cache data I could! | 04:52 |
| smaudet | reisio: ok, would you say | 04:52 |
| smaudet | that magnetic ghosting measurement equipment exists? | 04:52 |
| smaudet | And that disaster drive recover shops exist? | 04:52 |
| stimoceiver | hitsujiTMO: looking, sec | 04:52 |
| rosco | reisio: thank you. that didn't come w/ the player | 04:52 |
| Dionist | I'm getting the impression Reisio isn't exactly reliable. | 04:53 |
| reisio | wylde: wonder why it isn't in the PDF, heh | 04:53 |
| Dionist | Is there anyone else who has actually read what I had said? | 04:53 |
| reisio | smaudet: it's not my word against yours | 04:53 |
| reisio | smaudet: it's my word and science against your word alone | 04:53 |
| wylde | reisio, it certainly should be. | 04:53 |
| smaudet | reisio, what science? | 04:53 |
| === c_smith is now known as c_smith-afk | ||
| hitsujiTMO | Dionist: can you confirm gnash is not in chrome://plugins ?? | 04:53 |
| reisio | smaudet: science is the measure of truth | 04:53 |
| smaudet | reisio, *facepalm* | 04:53 |
| smaudet | you do have to present your science | 04:54 |
| RedRyder | I run a system comprised of, a MSI970A-G43 motherboard, with an AMD AthlonII x2270 processor x2, versa:turks graphics.31.3 gb RAM, and 458.3gb HDD. I have installed and run Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. This box runs 24/7 as my OSGrids are on it. For some unknown reason my grid viewer Imprudence and my web browser Firefox unexpectedly shut down.is there a fix for this problem someplace? | 04:54 |
| smaudet | otherwise it is just your word against mine | 04:54 |
| reisio | Dionist: sorry was my being the only person helping you bothering you? I can fix that | 04:54 |
| Dionist | hitsujiTMO- No, it's not in the chrome plugins. | 04:54 |
| smaudet | So its my logic and my word against your lack of logic, no science, and your word, so far ;) | 04:54 |
| reisio | smaudet: it's not relevant, but a lack of evidence for something makes it (highly) unlikely | 04:54 |
| apb | Dionist: I've only read a little of what you wrote..... but.. by what method did you uninstall Gnash? | 04:54 |
| smaudet | reisio, ah, but its not a lack of evidence | 04:55 |
| smaudet | Its not a disputable fact that there are drive disaster recovery shops | 04:55 |
| smaudet | (which is evidence that destroyed drives can be recovered) | 04:55 |
| Dionist | apb- Standard uninstall the same way I installed it- via software center. So is there gnash data somewhere I need to delete? | 04:55 |
| reisio | smaudet: are you just bored? I'm not sure how you're so invested in this, especially since you clearly have nothing to back it up... | 04:55 |
| rosco | reisio: i didn't find much in the manual. it says to transfer from the media library (windows). no mention of extensions and i don't know where to look for codec | 04:56 |
| reisio | people are wrong about things all the time, it's not a big deal if your turn came up is it? | 04:56 |
| smaudet | reisio, eh, I just enjoy a bit of banter | 04:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | smaudet: reisio's logic is sound ... the burden of proof is on those making the claim | 04:56 |
| reisio | rosco: right, but wylde found it | 04:56 |
| smaudet | And there seems to be indication that ghosting equipment exists | 04:56 |
| reisio | rosco: install ffmpeg and let someone know | 04:56 |
| Dionist | Reisio- What help? You acted conceited and repeated a 'suggestion' that I explained each time didn't help as I already did so. | 04:56 |
| smaudet | The number quoted is that there is a 56% chance of recovery | 04:56 |
| reisio | smaudet: by what? Other people who can't link to documentation proving it's been done? :) | 04:57 |
| reisio | Dionist: hi | 04:57 |
| smaudet | reisio, that is the only hole in my proof so far | 04:57 |
| reisio | smaudet: quoted where, by whom | 04:57 |
| smaudet | I don't have access to any of this ghosting equipment | 04:57 |
| smaudet | and I don't know where to buy it ;) | 04:57 |
| reisio | 'cause it doesn't exist | 04:57 |
| smaudet | no no no | 04:57 |
| reisio | if you like I could link you to an NSA document aligned with my own views on this matter | 04:58 |
| smaudet | reisio, that would be a start | 04:58 |
| reisio | a start :p | 04:58 |
| rosco | wylde: thank you. i was just looking at that. hxw plus rate and some sort of memory speed | 04:58 |
| === Guest76793 is now known as Patero-ng | ||
| Dionist | apb- did you get my answer? | 04:58 |
| smaudet | reisio, why are you so invested in in destroying this claim? | 04:58 |
| hitsujiTMO | since the channel is getting busy with those that are looking for support can we move offtopic convos to #ubuntu-offtopic | 04:58 |
| et09_ | hi - i'm having a problem, pulse doesn't recognize my intel audio, but alsa does | 04:59 |
| smaudet | I'm only interested in the truth, not being right or wrong ;) | 04:59 |
| reisio | smaudet: it wastes HOURS and HOURS of people's time, for nothing | 04:59 |
| apb | Dionist: See if there is a .gnash directory in your home dir. It would be hidden. | 04:59 |
| reisio | days | 04:59 |
| et09_ | looked up about 20 debugging guides, nothing | 04:59 |
| Patero-ng | hola | 04:59 |
| et09_ | no clue what to do | 04:59 |
| smaudet | reisio, I guess, pm? | 04:59 |
| Dionist | apb- I thought of that and tried that as well. No, the .gnash directory is gone as well. | 04:59 |
| et09_ | hey reisio | 04:59 |
| reisio | smaudet: sure | 04:59 |
| reisio | et09_: hi | 04:59 |
| apb | Dionist: Try apt-get purge gnash | 04:59 |
| sophie_ | What does 777 mean in regards to permissions? | 04:59 |
| et09_ | sophie_: all read write and execute | 05:00 |
| rosco | ffmpeg installed | 05:00 |
| Patero-ng | hello I can't change the time on ubuntu | 05:00 |
| sophie_ | So free for all? | 05:00 |
| reisio | smaudet: http://www.hostjury.com/blog/view/195/the-great-zero-challenge-remains-unaccepted http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Dd_(Unix)#Recovery_of_overwritten_data | 05:00 |
| et09_ | yep | 05:00 |
| rosco | wylde: or reisio | 05:00 |
| sophie_ | thanks | 05:00 |
| rosco | ^ | 05:00 |
| reisio | rosco: alright, what I'd do first, because if it works it'll be the easiest in the long run, is to simply run ffmpeg -i sourceFile.whatever newFile.wmv | 05:00 |
| reisio | rosco: and see if it works | 05:01 |
| hitsujiTMO | Patero-ng: have you you tried using the date command? | 05:01 |
| reisio | rosco: the .wmv, that is, on the player | 05:01 |
| wylde | rosco, I'm looking on askubuntu. I'm not sure if ffmpeg can do wmv9 but I'm no authority on the matter. | 05:01 |
| apb | Dionist: I don't know how much you know, so just to make sure... hidden files can only be seen using ls -a (I prefer ls -la) | 05:01 |
| Patero-ng | I go to time and date I select location but the clock still gives me some oher ime | 05:01 |
| Patero-ng | hitsujiTMO: but I want ubuntu to get time from internet I dont; want to set manualy | 05:01 |
| wylde | rosco, I jumped in the convo a little late. Refresh my memory. You need to get file to play on the device correct? Not from the device on the computer? | 05:02 |
| Dionist | apb- I already know how to reveal hidden data. It's how I attempted to delete all cache in the first place. I tried purging gnash, the issue is still there. I suspect it's because the game produced save data, and that save data is hidden somewhere. | 05:02 |
| apb | Patero-ng: You need to setup NTP if it's not already. | 05:02 |
| hitsujiTMO | Patero-ng: try: ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com | 05:02 |
| Dionist | apb- except I've deleted all sources that could possibly contain that save data and it's still corrupted. | 05:02 |
| rosco | i have one mkv file and one mp4 | 05:02 |
| hitsujiTMO | Patero-ng: you can add that as a daily cron to keep resync | 05:03 |
| apb | Dionist: wipe the game and start over? | 05:03 |
| reisio | rosco: ffmpeg -i a.mkv anew.wmv | 05:03 |
| Patero-ng | ok thanks all | 05:03 |
| Dionist | apb- Done that. Four times. | 05:04 |
| reisio | rosco: ffmpeg -i a.mkv -s 320x240 anew.wmv | 05:04 |
| apb | Dionist: Wipe the game, reboot to make sure nothing in memory and start over? | 05:04 |
| Dionist | apb- Also did that. | 05:04 |
| moppy | reisio: looking at those 2 links. the first they offer $100 prize for somethin that needs an electron microsope; no surprise no takers. the second article on DD says "Zeroing the drive will render any data it contains irrecoverable by software; however it still may be recoverable by special laboratory techniques." | 05:05 |
| apb | Dionist: Dunno. Contact the authors. | 05:05 |
| Dionist | apb- I can instruct you what I did, so you can try recreating it. | 05:05 |
| hitsujiTMO | Dionist: is this swf online or have you downloaded it? | 05:05 |
| rosco | its been too long. in terminal i'm in home directory. how to go to desktop? | 05:05 |
| Patero-ng | that's a noob question | 05:06 |
| wylde | rosco, 'cd Desktop' | 05:06 |
| Dionist | hitsujiTMO- Downloaded. And don't tell me to use it in Google Chrome, I already tested that. Same saved loop glitch. | 05:06 |
| reisio | moppy: the second refers to a very long document the content of which I have read more of than you | 05:06 |
| reisio | moppy: read the epilogue | 05:06 |
| rosco | k | 05:06 |
| wylde | Patero-ng, not a welcome comment here | 05:06 |
| moppy | reisio: the second link was this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Dd_ | 05:06 |
| moppy | reisio: nothing there, but goes to DD | 05:07 |
| reisio | moppy: 'refers to' | 05:07 |
| rosco | wylde: a file was produced. let me transfer to player and see if it works | 05:07 |
| Dionist | hitsujiTMO, apb, do you need PM with how I ended up with the glitch? | 05:08 |
| Dionist | So you can try to recreate it? | 05:08 |
| blurkis | Dionist, sorry for jumping in like this, but its a flash-game you are trying to play locally in the browser? and it wont work? Does it work for another user on your computer? that is, create a new user and try it. | 05:08 |
| Dr_Willis | rosco: linux is Case Senesetive. ;) desktop is not the same as Desktop (somthing to rember) | 05:09 |
| moppy | reisio: what epilogue? | 05:09 |
| ianorlin | I know this is way back in scroll up but to find out what runs alt+f2 if it is not a shell can't you use xprop WM_CLASS? | 05:10 |
| wylde | ooo I should've mentioend that Dr_Willis | 05:10 |
| Dionist | blurkis- it's not the flash game itself, as I keep trying to say, but that it's saved the corruption as save data somewhere, so no matter what, if I try to open it up anywhere, it automatically tries to open up that same data, and... bam, glitch. | 05:10 |
| Danny | hi | 05:10 |
| Patero-ng | comcast reduced my download speed from 20mbps tp 4 | 05:10 |
| Patero-ng | and we still pay the same | 05:10 |
| wylde | Dionist, are you certain the relevant data is actually saved locally? | 05:10 |
| Danny | i have a problem i installed ubuntu bios time is wrong | 05:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Patero-ng: ive been paying for '2' and been getting 40 ;) for months | 05:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | Dionist: the only thing i can think of that is in common with your problem is the .swf file ... you ran it in 2 independant flash players and got the same glitch so that gives me the impression that the .swf is corrupt. did gnash break the .swf file? | 05:11 |
| paul | Hi all | 05:11 |
| Danny | ubuntu os time is right bios isnt | 05:11 |
| Patero-ng | Dr_Willis: what isp | 05:11 |
| blurkis | Dionist, so gnash it self bails out? And it *works* for a new user? have you tried that? | 05:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Patero-ng: comcast | 05:11 |
| Danny | how do i fix it | 05:11 |
| Patero-ng | Dr_Willis: you pray alot? | 05:11 |
| wylde | Danny, it's not uncommon for the bios to be set to UTC. | 05:11 |
| moppy | Dionist: http://flasm.sourceforge.net/ | 05:12 |
| Dionist | hitsujiTMO- I've deleted the .swf and downloaded a new game, still has the same glitch, so I know it isn't due to the .swf itself, but data saved separately somewhere. | 05:12 |
| Danny | wyldye what you mean | 05:12 |
| blurkis | Danny, if ubuntu gets the right time via for example ntp, why care about bios having wrong time? as long as ubuntu gets it right? | 05:12 |
| Dionist | blurkis- I stopped using gnash already and deleted it when I saw it wouldn't play the game right. But when it tried to play everything, it must have activated save data, and saved the corrupted data. | 05:12 |
| moppy | Dionist: it couldbe a drm check in the game, not data corruption | 05:12 |
| Danny | i dont have ntp installed | 05:12 |
| paul | I'm having an issue when I try and extract a tar file into a folder /Home/Paul/Program Files | 05:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Danny: so.. why does bios time matter? | 05:13 |
| paul | I receive an error .. | 05:13 |
| hitsujiTMO | Dionist: then i'd go with wyldes idea that thr .swf is pulling resources from elsewhere and that one of them is corrupt | 05:13 |
| paul | "An error occurred while extracting files. | 05:13 |
| wylde | Danny, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time | 05:13 |
| paul | Error setting owner: Operation not permitted. | 05:13 |
| Danny | dr willes cause when i was using windows os time and bios where right | 05:13 |
| hitsujiTMO | Dionist: have you tested the .swf on a different system? | 05:13 |
| paul | can someone please assist? | 05:13 |
| Dionist | hitsujiTMO- Exactly, and my problem is how the hell do I find that corrupt data so I can purge it!? | 05:13 |
| Dr_Willis | paul: and your 'program files' is on a windows/vfat/ntfs partion? | 05:13 |
| blurkis | Dionist, if I was you, I would try using a swf in a new user on the computer. That way you can exclude any problems regarding potential saved corrupted files. since new user = no saved files.. | 05:13 |
| Dionist | blurkis- Except I want to play it on THIS user and THIS computer. | 05:14 |
| Danny | is there a command line fix it | 05:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Danny: each os can be set to use utc, or its own timezone. are you saying you boot to windows and the time is wrong now? | 05:14 |
| paul | no, I've just installed ubuntu 13.10 from scratch, and I've just named the subfolder Program Files. | 05:14 |
| moppy | doesn't flash have to ask permission to save data locally? | 05:14 |
| et09_ | finally it's fixed | 05:14 |
| paul | it's the default file system ext? | 05:14 |
| et09_ | pavucontrol's window was small and didn't look like it had a scrollbar | 05:14 |
| hitsujiTMO | danny, why not enter the bios and set the date there? | 05:14 |
| reisio | moppy: the on you didn't read :p | 05:14 |
| Danny | dr willes no my bios | 05:14 |
| et09_ | back to normal it looks like | 05:14 |
| Dionist | hitsujiTMO- yes it works on the other systems, but I want it to work on this one. | 05:14 |
| Danny | hitsu i did went back to old time | 05:15 |
| paul | I haven't changed file permissions on my subfolders so it's quite strange. | 05:15 |
| Dr_Willis | paul: use the command line tools.. cd to the directory try 'unp /path/to/whatever/file.tar.gz' and pastebin any error messages | 05:15 |
| Dionist | moppy- it's a generic browser flash game, like off Kongregate or the like, so there wouldn't be DRM issues, I don't think. | 05:15 |
| moppy | reisio: there was nothing there - was the link correct? | 05:15 |
| reisio | moppy: yup | 05:15 |
| moppy | can you repost, i dont have it in buffer then | 05:15 |
| hitsujiTMO | danny http://www.digitalinternals.com/138/20091122/how-to-prevent-ubuntu-from-setting-bios-clock-to-utc/ | 05:16 |
| Dr_Willis | paul: id suggest getting of the habit of using Spaces in directory names.. | 05:16 |
| Danny | thanks ill check it out | 05:16 |
| blurkis | Dionist, btw, you can for example use the command lsof in a terminal to see which files a program is using, that way, you can see if gnash is using some sort of files you missed to delete.. i think | 05:17 |
| reisio | moppy: http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/secure_del.html#Epilogue | 05:17 |
| Dionist | blurkis- This will be the sixth time I said so- I'm not using gnash anymore, it's been deleted and purged off my computer. Only involvement it has is that it produced and hid corrupt save data somewhere, and I can't locate it. | 05:18 |
| Dr_Willis | move all the files/dirs in the users home to some subdir. ;) and rerun the game.. see what gets made | 05:19 |
| Danny | im not good with commands | 05:19 |
| blurkis | Dionist, how can a completly separate flash-program produce a saved-file that corrupts other flash-programs? dont they use seperate folders for save-files? | 05:19 |
| Danny | hitju im not good with commands | 05:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Danny: i belive its common these days to set the os;s to the same time zone. and let the bios stay at utc. | 05:19 |
| Danny | to hard for me | 05:19 |
| hitsujiTMO | Dionist: do you get the same problem if you run the .swf in a different user? | 05:19 |
| Danny | dr willis i dont have utc | 05:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Danny: what time is your bios saying it is right now? | 05:20 |
| Danny | 3 000 when its 16 20 | 05:20 |
| crocket | yo | 05:20 |
| Danny | 300 when its 16 20 | 05:20 |
| Dionist | blurkis- the game I tried to play on it has a save data feature, and Gnash attempted to activate EVERYTHING in the game at once... apparently including the save data. I don't know where the save data went. | 05:20 |
| Dr_Willis | its 17:20 utc i belive right now | 05:21 |
| paul | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6287124/ | 05:21 |
| Danny | dr willis how do i add utc | 05:22 |
| Dionist | hitsujiTMO- too busy to test that right now, I will later, but as of right now, I wanna try other suggestions. Maybe find someone with the courage to try reproducing the issue themselves. | 05:22 |
| blurkis | Dionist, I dont think there is a universal directory for saving flash-based programs data. So most likely the swf is corrupted. As said before, please try using THIS swf in your current system but with another user. Just create a new user and copy this swf there, and try it | 05:22 |
| Dr_Willis | paul: use the unp command. :) i think you are using the wrong commands | 05:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Danny: add it where? it should be in your timezone settings. | 05:22 |
| hitsujiTMO | Dr_Willis: 5:20 utc you mean :P | 05:22 |
| Dr_Willis | paul: whats the name of the archive? | 05:22 |
| Dr_Willis | hitsujiTMO: google just said it was 17:20 wheni typed in 'utc time' | 05:23 |
| wylde | he was ony 12 hours off ;) | 05:23 |
| rosco | wylde: it doesn't seemed to have worked. | 05:23 |
| Danny | dr willis it is still bios showing wrong | 05:23 |
| paul | mol-0.9.72.1.tar.bz2 | 05:23 |
| rosco | Unable to find a suitable output format for 'Bill.smv' | 05:23 |
| reisio | ugh, nist.gov is still not 100% | 05:23 |
| Dionist | blurkis- I've deleted the swf and downloaded a new one several times. Still had the corruption. I've tested it on another computer so I know it's not the .swf itself, but corrupt data somewhere or the like. | 05:23 |
| reisio | rosco: smv? | 05:23 |
| RedRyderEnt | I run a system comprised of: a MSI 970A-G43 motherboard, 31.3gb RAM, 458.3gb HDD, vesa:turks graphics, AMD Athlon II x2 270 processor x2, and have loaded Ubuntu 12.04LTS. I run this box 24/7 because I have OpenSim Grids running. The problem I have is that my browser(firefox) and my viewer (Imprudence) constantly shut down unexpextedly. Is there a fix somewhere for this? | 05:23 |
| rosco | reisio: ? | 05:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Danny: bios dosent matter if you set the os to use Local or UTC time. | 05:23 |
| reisio | rosco: you were supposed to try a wmv | 05:23 |
| rosco | yes, yes | 05:23 |
| reisio | rosco: yes yes? | 05:24 |
| paul | ok I didn't have unp on the system | 05:24 |
| paul | I just installed it. | 05:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Danny: of coruse if your battery is dead on the mb. then the clock can be wrong. may as welljust set the os to get the time from the internet | 05:24 |
| blurkis | Dionist, send the swf to me if you want to. just rightclick my name in the userlist and send it (if you use xchat, and sorry for assuming you dont know how to send in irc) | 05:24 |
| rosco | oh | 05:24 |
| Danny | dr willis why is it wrong time in bios normaly with windows its corrtet time | 05:24 |
| Longfellow | do you just throw out questions in this channel? | 05:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | danny open the terminal and type: sudo nano /etc/default/rcS | 05:24 |
| Danny | dr willis my cmos battery isnt dead | 05:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Danny: windows is getting the time from teh internet would be my guess | 05:24 |
| Dr_Willis | if windows gets the right time.. and ubuntu has the right time.. then ive missed the actual problem | 05:25 |
| Patero-ng | I'm at default in my student loans I own 2000 dollars! | 05:25 |
| reisio | date -us $(cat </dev/tcp/nist.expertsmi.com/13 | cut -c 7-23) | 05:25 |
| wylde | rosco, I would have to do some googling. I don't play with video encoding often. I don't even know if ffmpeg will output wmv9. | 05:25 |
| rosco | the compooter is working | 05:25 |
| wilee-nilee | Longfellow, ubuntu related, yes | 05:25 |
| bazhang | !ot | Patero-ng | 05:26 |

| paul | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6287141/ | 05:26 |
| Danny | hitsu im not good with commands | 05:26 |
| Longfellow | well i just upgraded to 13.10 and went thru nautilus to set shared folders and now on my windows machine I can't see those shared folders | 05:26 |
| Danny | how can i set ubuntu time to bios | 05:26 |
| Danny | throw the net | 05:26 |
| moppy | reisio: is this the only paper on this subject? | 05:27 |
| Longfellow | I downloaded the samba client and tried setting up the shraes there but still nothing i don't even see the computer on the network now | 05:27 |
| Dr_Willis | Danny: so your ubuntu time is wrong then you are saying? | 05:27 |
| reisio | moppy: not remotely | 05:27 |
| Danny | dr willis no i want syn to bios | 05:27 |
| reisio | people have been wasting time explaining to people that zeroing once is enough for decades | 05:27 |
| wylde | Danny, to set the bios time you have to reboot, go into the bios settings and adjust the time there. | 05:27 |
| moppy | modern one, i mean | 05:27 |
| Dr_Willis | Danny: i dont see the point in worrying about it.. | 05:27 |
| hitsujiTMO | danny, if you can't copy and paste simple commands then i can't help you i'm afraid | 05:27 |
| Danny | wydle it chages back | 05:27 |
| reisio | <shrug> not much has changed with drives since the ones I've read were writ | 05:27 |
| Danny | ok histu | 05:28 |
| wylde | Danny, then your cmos battery is dead would be my thought. | 05:28 |
| Dr_Willis | Longfellow: you gave the ubuntu user a samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a username' ? tried making the shares guest accessable? can the ubuntu box see its own shares? | 05:28 |
| Danny | wydle its not dead | 05:28 |
| Dr_Willis | its just sick | 05:29 |
| moppy | reisio: the paper is quite well written at the start, lots of citations; the final part is a bit tacked on and nothing to indicate whether it is original research; this is why i ask asking about additional modern papers on the subject. BTW i destroy drives with thermite | 05:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | danny, what time does it change to after reboot? | 05:29 |
| Danny | its showing 1 hour behind the time | 05:29 |
| Longfellow | well i try and keep it simple since its an HTPC so i use the same local user name/password on both machines | 05:29 |
| reisio | moppy: that's the way to do it :p | 05:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Longfellow: im just recalling common tricks ive done over the years to get samba working | 05:30 |
| Danny | its 4 30 now it say 3 30 in bios | 05:30 |
| reisio | moppy: before the link to that page at the dd talk page is a paper by the nsa, iirc | 05:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Longfellow: it seems windows gets pickier and picker all the time | 05:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Danny: how are you telling what time its saying in the bios? | 05:30 |
| Longfellow | ok i checked its guest accessible and i just added the smbpassword | 05:30 |
| Danny | yes dr willis iam | 05:30 |
| Longfellow | did i screw something up by adding the samba client off the store | 05:30 |
| moppy | reisio: NIST | 05:30 |
| moppy | reisio: It's not available anymore | 05:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Longfellow: should be fine. | 05:31 |
| Longfellow | before i could see the computer just not the shares, after the samba client i can't even see the computer | 05:31 |
| Dr_Willis | Longfellow: the samba client is just some extra cli tools | 05:31 |
| Dr_Willis | the samba server is what shares the actual shares. | 05:31 |
| Longfellow | i have a windows 8 machine and 7 and both can't see the shares... and i double checked the workgroup name is the same | 05:31 |
| Dr_Willis | Longfellow: ive seen people fight with this.. then suddendly they show up.... | 05:31 |
| Danny | in windows every thing fine | 05:31 |
| Danny | plus the bios in windows | 05:32 |
| * wylde ponders DST being to blame since it's 1 hour..... | 05:32 | |
| Dr_Willis | wylde: yep. that kicks in next week? or somtiung like that | 05:32 |
| wylde | Danny, as Dr_Willis asked. How are you checking the bios time. | 05:32 |
| === dheeraj_ is now known as RahulANN | ||
| wylde | Danny, it's the same bios...whether your in wondows or ubuntu.... | 05:33 |
| Dr_Willis | i still dont see why theres any actual problem. ;) both os's aparently got the right time | 05:33 |
| wylde | windows* | 05:33 |
| Longfellow | yeah i'm just wondering if it was the upgrade, I did a clean install because i had issues after trying to upgrade gnome on my unity ubuntu machine | 05:33 |
| reisio | moppy: http://web.archive.org/web/20111124205856/http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-88/NISTSP800-88_rev1.pdf | 05:33 |
| Danny | wydle time in bios differnt then ubuntu | 05:33 |
| Danny | time | 05:33 |
| Longfellow | i think i'll just stay straight ubuntu now but not being able to share files is a little frustrating | 05:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Danny: and why is this an issue. do you really ever look at the bios time? | 05:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Longfellow: i tend to just use winscp and ssh to transfer files.. | 05:34 |
| Danny | i look nat bios time when im changing styem | 05:34 |
| wylde | Danny, how.... are... you... checking... the.. bios.. time? For the record, I agree with Dr_Willis about it being a non-issue. | 05:34 |
| moppy | reisio: thanks, reading it. btw what do you think of the news sources reporting bradley manning (wikileaks) zero filled his drive? (mind you it was an SSD, so probaby different) | 05:35 |
| Danny | im not checvking it i did before | 05:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Danny: oh.. for a WHOLE 10 sec... bios is not taking into account DST is my guess also like wylde mentions | 05:35 |
| Longfellow | but i don't really want to transfer... i just want them available on any computer like song files | 05:36 |
| Danny | dr willis i chage bios time revert back | 05:36 |
| RedRyderEnt | I have a system comprised of a: MSI790A-G43 motherboard, AMD Athlon II x2 270 processor x2, 31.3gb of RAM, 458.3gb HDD, Vesa:turks graphics, and running Ubuntu 12.04LTS. This box runs 24/7 as it has my OpenSim Grids on it. For some unknown reason my browser(firefox) and my viewer(Imprudence) shut down unexpectedly and with no warnings. Is there a fix somewhere for this problem???? | 05:36 |
| Danny | i wanna syn ubuntu time with bios | 05:36 |
| Longfellow | i had a simple network share setup and that was wonderful but after the upgrade its a no go | 05:36 |
| Dr_Willis | bios time here is UTC, the OS then makes the adjustment for DST and the Timezone | 05:36 |
| wylde | same here Dr_Willis | 05:36 |
| Dr_Willis | you dont sync the bios time with the OS. because the os time changes from UTC | 05:37 |
| reisio | moppy: that refers to an "attempt" apparently | 05:37 |
| sophie_ | RedRyderEnt, Opensim, nice | 05:37 |
| Danny | ok ill just froget about it | 05:37 |
| Dr_Willis | if it did it your way.. then you would get double+ DST adjustments | 05:37 |
| Danny | thanks | 05:37 |
| sophie_ | I wish LL would allow resident owned sims | 05:37 |
| sophie_ | As in ran on non LL servers | 05:37 |
| reisio | moppy: typical journalism, not enough facts | 05:37 |
| rosco | wylde: and Dr_Willis this is going to take some time. ffmpeg is still working in terminal. | 05:38 |
| apb | oh in case anyone had the slightest interest... I couldn't chmod because the filesystem is fuseblk. d'oh! | 05:38 |
| Dr_Willis | rosco: perhaps you should of tested with a tiny video? | 05:38 |
| wylde | rosco, yes it will. It has to re-encode the enotire video | 05:38 |
| Dr_Willis | apb: what are you accessing over fuseblk? | 05:38 |
| wylde | entire* | 05:38 |
| reisio | moppy: you can't really have data on unallocated space, for starters, impossible to know what the actual case was | 05:38 |
| moppy | reisio: you can if reinstall, as he had | 05:39 |
| apb | Dr_Willis: an external previously windows xp, drive. | 05:39 |
| reisio | moppy: no, it's always allocated, I mean I guess you could dd data to a space you aren't technically using, but then you probably wouldn't later wipe it, would you | 05:39 |
| moppy | reisio: reading the nist paper, they recommend using agency-approved software but dont mention what that is: would you know? | 05:39 |
| manny0080_ | hi | 05:40 |
| manny0080_ | im trying to set up a ssh server and my ssh config file is locked n its not letting me change it | 05:40 |
| rosco | Dr_Willis: and wylde okay. thank you both. i'll get back to you when/if it finishes | 05:40 |
| reisio | moppy: undoubtedly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Industrial_Security_Program | 05:40 |
| wylde | !sudo | manny0080_ | 05:40 |
| RedRyderEnt | sophie can you offer any help with the shutdown problem? | 05:40 |
| ubottu | manny0080_: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 05:40 |
| moppy | "As of the June 2007 edition of the DSS C&SM, overwriting is no longer acceptable for sanitization of magnetic media; only degaussing or physical destruction is acceptable" | 05:41 |
| moppy | that's from the NISt link you just provided | 05:41 |
| wylde | manny0080_, make a backup of that file before you modify it anyway. | 05:41 |
| moppy | reisio: sorry forgot to tag. ^^ | 05:41 |
| reisio | moppy: that was always the case, though | 05:42 |
| reisio | if you're _that_ worried about the data, that you'd spend THAT LONG ovewriting it, it would be more worth your time to simply physically destroy the device | 05:42 |
| * wylde likes sandwiching old drives between strong magnets. | 05:42 | |
| moppy | reisio: i did say i used thermite way back :-) | 05:42 |

| manny0080_ | im trying to set up a ssh server and my ssh config file is locked n its not letting me change it | 05:45 |
| RedRyderEnt | sophie; have you looked into Metropolis Metaverse? They have a download that works pretty much out of the box. | 05:45 |
| wylde | manny0080_, to make a backup of a file 'cp oldfile newfile.old' ... what editor are you using? | 05:46 |
| manny0080_ | note pad i think | 05:47 |
| manny0080_ | what ever it opens up in | 05:47 |
| manny0080_ | i tried to change the port setting n save but would not let me save it | 05:47 |
| wylde | manny0080_, are you using ubuntu? kubuntu? xubuntu? | 05:47 |
| manny0080_ | ubuntu 13 | 05:48 |

| wylde | manny0080_, so likely gedit? Help > About | 05:48 |
| reisio | wylde: the best I can parse this vague journalism is that he did a zero write, and then added more sensitive data, and merely ordinarily deleted it | 05:48 |
| oppositescopez | hey | 05:48 |
| manny0080_ | yea it is | 05:48 |
| oppositescopez | quick question | 05:48 |
| sophie_ | RedRyderEnt, Do you use the SL grid? | 05:49 |
| reisio | wylde: but I don't imagine we'll ever truly know | 05:49 |
| reisio | nintendo: sup | 05:49 |
| reisio | oppositescopez: gogogogo | 05:49 |
| manny0080_ | i tried to google it n cant find anything | 05:49 |
| nintendo | i have a dual boot configured on my pc ( win 8 and ubuntu 13.10 ), i wanna partition the drive that ubuntu uses, but obviously i can't unmount it from ubuntu using gparted, any alternatives ? | 05:49 |
| nintendo | drive that uses ubuntu == partition that uses ubuntu | 05:50 |
| RedRyderEnt | sophie; if you ever go to Metro look me up, I have 2 16 region grids and a 4 region grid. 16's are Ryder1 and Ryderville. come spend a while exploring. | 05:50 |
| wylde | manny0080_, gksudo gedit /etc/I/don't/remember/the/path/to/ssh/configfile | 05:50 |
| manny0080_ | it said to su to root n then illl be able to save it but still nothing | 05:50 |
| mgsk | Any idea why the terminal doesn't respect my "close window" key binding? | 05:50 |
| mgsk | God, I hate ubuntu. | 05:50 |
| oppositescopez | hehe ok, well i dual boot and to lazy to switch back to ubuntu just to ask :P. so i have my dx diag. and about to get like $300 . anyone want to look over it and reccoment what i upgrade? | 05:50 |
| sophie_ | RedRyderEnt, nice, will my avatar/account from the SL grid work there? | 05:50 |
| reisio | oppositescopez: mmm sure? | 05:51 |
| oppositescopez | oh | 05:51 |
| oppositescopez | reisio: hehe ok, well i dual boot and to lazy to switch back to ubuntu just to ask :P. so i have my dx diag. and about to get like $300 . anyone want to look over it and reccoment what i upgrade? | 05:51 |
| wylde | manny0080_, 'gksudo gedit /etc/ssh/sshd_config' edit, save, restart ssh 'sudo service ssh restart' | 05:51 |
| manny0080_ | /etc/ssh/ssh_config | 05:51 |
| nintendo | damn, sometimes getting answers can be difficult here | 05:51 |
| RedRyderEnt | sophie, I have an account on SL but since they want money for everything I rarely use it. It's why I went to OSGrid in the first place. Do you have an account with OS? | 05:52 |
| oppositescopez | reisio: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6287197/ | 05:52 |
| === nintendo is now known as jtr | ||
| wylde | nintendo, boot from a live disk/usb install gparted and partition all you like? | 05:52 |
| sophie_ | RedRyderEnt, I believe I do since I went onto it once | 05:52 |
| crocket | Can I run hexchat on kubuntu active running on Nexus 7? | 05:53 |
| jtr | is there a good mount and partition utility for linux partitions via windows ? | 05:53 |
| reisio | oppositescopez: you want to spend all $300? | 05:53 |
| Ben64 | jtr: no, use gparted in linux | 05:53 |
| reisio | jtr: not really no | 05:53 |
| wylde | jtr, boot from a live disk/usb install gparted and partition all you like? | 05:53 |
| reisio | crocket: probably, with effort and wasted resources (and not KDE) | 05:53 |
| RedRyderEnt | sophie; you should be able to hypergrid from OSG to Metropolis. That's where I am as it was real easy to set up regions on their grid. | 05:54 |
| oppositescopez | reisio: yea thats what i got it for | 05:54 |
| crocket | reisio, Kubuntu active is KDE. | 05:54 |
| crocket | KDE's tablet interface | 05:54 |
| sophie_ | RedRyderEnt, I'll see if it works | 05:54 |
| crocket | It is a proper linux. | 05:54 |
| oppositescopez | reisio: well selling an xbox 360 with about 26 games and also a 5 cd changer party stereo system should get around that much and all that i get from that is going into my computer. | 05:54 |
| jtr | the usb idea sound good, i can't gpart it on linux coz its only one partition and is used by linux | 05:54 |
| RedRyderEnt | sophie; cool | 05:54 |
| reisio | crocket: active? | 05:54 |
| reisio | oppositescopez: >=4gb ram is a good idea, and maybe a new proc with more cores and more extensions | 05:55 |
| jtr | wylde, what's the fastest way to get a live usb up and running ? | 05:55 |
| wylde | jtr, it's not used if you don't mount it in the live environment. | 05:55 |
| manny0080_ | ok it worked ty | 05:55 |
| oppositescopez | reisio: so thats about an estimate | 05:55 |
| wylde | jtr, dd? | 05:55 |
| jtr | wylde, yup, got that | 05:55 |

| oppositescopez | reisio: yea i was planning on spending most on a new processor. but do you think if i put like $200 in a processor would that be more than what my graphics card could run?.. im looking to get a good evening out right now because my processor just maxes out when i barely run anything | 05:57 |
| crocket | reisio : "plasma active" is KDE's tablet interface, and kubuntu active is a distro built on top of "plasma active". | 05:57 |
| crocket | reisio, It runs on Nexus 7. | 05:57 |
| crocket | It is a proper linux. | 05:57 |
| oppositescopez | reisio: yet i have a graphics card that has the potential to run newer stuff | 05:57 |
| wylde | jtr, my bad that dd line will need sudo heh | 05:57 |

| Patero-ng | I cant change the mode bit of a file in my ubuntu I want to change it from rw to rwx I type chmod +x -v file and verbose tells me it changed but when I do ls -l the file still shows as rw why? the file owner is the same as my account so I don't need sudo but trying sudo doesn't anytning either | 05:57 |
| reisio | oppositescopez: I don't think that'd be a problem, would talk to #hardware, though | 05:57 |
| reisio | crocket: neat... got a link? | 05:58 |

| wylde | Patero-ng, is the file on an ntfs/vfat filesystem? | 05:58 |
| jtr | wylde, i should pretend not to know that :P | 05:58 |
| crocket | reisio, http://community.kde.org/Plasma/Active | 05:59 |
| reisio | thanks | 05:59 |
| wylde | jtr, it would have complained at you anyway :P | 05:59 |
| Patero-ng | wylde: true is a ntfs | 05:59 |
| jtr | wylde, predictable isn't it :P | 06:00 |
| Hawkerz | What is the essential difference between LXC and something like chroot | 06:00 |
| wylde | Patero-ng, ntfs doesn't support those attributes. | 06:00 |
| crocket | reisio, Finally, a proper linux OS on tablets. | 06:00 |
| reisio | crocket: yeah, I don't even care about the UI so much as just having a real GNU/Linux base | 06:00 |
| Patero-ng | wylde: so then how can I execute it? tab doesn't complete the file name | 06:00 |
| reisio | and it's about new phone time, anyways | 06:00 |
| crocket | The trouble is that the screen keyboard doesn't seem to support korean letters. | 06:01 |
| reisio | awe they're tablet tablets? | 06:01 |
| crocket | reisio, Nexus 7 is an android tablet. | 06:01 |
| reisio | that's nice, but I was hoping it was a phone form factor :) | 06:01 |
| wylde | Patero-ng, double check your path, or move the affected file(s) onto a linux filesystem and set chmod +x | 06:01 |

| reisio | yeah it's not a problem with the software, but with the firmware that comes with phones | 06:05 |
| * moppy wonders what the battery life will be | 06:05 | |
| reisio | and the weird/unsupported hardware, potentially | 06:05 |
| wylde | rosco, I suspected as much. I really suspect it HAS to be wmv9. I'm not personally aware of linux tools to do that conversion. But, like I said, I do very little in the way of video encoding. | 06:05 |
| moppy | desktop linux on a phone is going to drain the battery really quick | 06:05 |

| Patero-ng | wylde: after creating a ext4 partition with gparted do I need to format that partition or can I use it off gparted work | 06:09 |
| rosco | wylde: i'm not following. would i have to use wine? i never figured that out | 06:09 |
| rosco | wylde: from what the manual said, stick video files in the media player and all is taken care of. | 06:10 |
| wylde | rosco, I have doubts about it working in wine. full blown windows or possibly a vm. I've only messed with gogear once and that was for a family member some months ago. | 06:10 |
| wylde | rosco, yeah I think their software integrate with wmp and does the conversion when you 'sync' videos to the player. | 06:11 |
| moppy | sorry; what file type are you trying to play? | 06:11 |
| rosco | wylde: ok. | 06:11 |
| wylde | Patero-ng, if you created the partition and applied the changes you should be ready to go. | 06:12 |
| wylde | moppy, rosco has a gogear mp3 player that also plays wmv9 videos. http://www.usa.philips.com/c/mp3-media-player/gogear-ariaz-16gb-sa4ara16kf_37/prd/en/?t=specifications | 06:14 |
| moppy | wylde: i cant imagine mp3 or wmv9 isnt playing ... ? | 06:16 |
| rosco | wylde: what does that mean? it won't play wmv files or am i wrong? | 06:16 |
| rosco | music mp3's play fine, moppy | 06:16 |

| wylde | moppy, it's converting the files to wmv9 that's the issue | 06:16 |
| rosco | i've not converted to wmv9, yet | 06:17 |
| moppy | wylde: oh i see | 06:17 |

| wylde | Yakisoba, I'd recommend just running from a live cd/usb if you want to test ubuntu over wubi (is that still around?) | 06:21 |
| Ben64 | wubi isn't recommended, and is being phased out i think | 06:21 |
| rosco | should i try ffmpeg -i name.mp4 name wmv9 in terminal? wylde | 06:24 |
| ObrienDave | not recommended but still in the ISO file :/ | 06:24 |
| wylde | rosco, I honestly don't know. Perhaps someone else will know though. I don't know if ffmpeg can output wmv9. | 06:25 |
| daixtr | i installed netbeans into my ubuntu, but I can't start a new project it just hangs.. any ideas? | 06:26 |

| Patero-ng | can not open shared object file that' the error I get while trying to run urban terror on my live ubuntu why | 06:33 |
| Hawkerz | which shared object file | 06:33 |
| Dr_Willis | use wine to run windows malware. so you can see what it installs. so you can then remove it on your friends windows machine. | 06:33 |
| BAMbanda | I'm trying to install a theme, I don't have a .themes folder in my home directory | 06:34 |
| Hawkerz | wine isn't isolated enough from filesystem access | 06:34 |

| Hawkerz | should run your malware in a vm | 06:34 |
| Patero-ng | Hawkerz: libsdl | 06:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Hawkerz: live cd ;) | 06:34 |
| Hawkerz | good enough | 06:34 |
| Patero-ng | live usb | 06:34 |
| Dr_Willis | i used a specific user for the testing | 06:34 |
| Hawkerz | Patero-ng, you need to install the 32 bit libraries for that probably | 06:35 |
| Dr_Willis | stupid files wrapped in wndows.exe's that wanted to install toolbars and stuff to let you get to the theme/wallpaper/whatever | 06:35 |
| Hawkerz | are you on a 64bit install? | 06:35 |
| Patero-ng | Hawkerz: cool | 06:35 |
| Patero-ng | yes 64 | 06:35 |
| karstenk1977_ | hello | 06:35 |
| Hawkerz | Patero-ng, ii libsdl1.2debian:i386 <- this is the relevant package on ubuntu 12.04 anyway | 06:36 |
| michael_87 | ok question. I installed ubuntu 13.10 days ago. and there has been no updates since I installed. has there been any updates since launch of 13.10 or am I being paranoid | 06:36 |
| Hawkerz | there is some metalibrary which autoinstalls all the 32 bit libraries and stuff | 06:36 |
| sophie_ | Am I correct in thinking that if I want to go up directory I type cd .. | 06:36 |
| Patero-ng | great | 06:37 |
| Patero-ng | I need to go now the battery is running low | 06:37 |
| Patero-ng | oh well | 06:37 |
| reisio | sophie_: yup | 06:37 |
| Hawkerz | damnit, i just got the name of that metapackage for him | 06:37 |
| AtuM | Hawkerz, please post it anyway :) | 06:37 |
| Hawkerz | sudo apt-get install ia32-libs | 06:37 |
| sophie_ | and the other way to navigate to a folder I Was previously in is to retype the path, so if I'm in /home/sophie/Documents/Newfolder/Folder, and I want to go back to documents, I can type cd /home/sophie/Documents, and it will take me there | 06:38 |
| Hawkerz | ^ will get you 32 bit support on your 64 bit install | 06:38 |
| crocket | hmm | 06:38 |
| reisio | sophie_: or cd - | 06:38 |
| crocket | sailfish OS seems to be a promising OS. | 06:38 |
| sophie_ | reisio, thanks :) | 06:38 |
| BAMbanda | how can I run a .deb in software center with root access | 06:38 |
| karstenk1977_ | i have a confusing me problem. every 2min my root server adds my client IP to hosts.deny . I wrote my IP in a file hosts.allow, I make a new file in /etc/allow-hosts and put my IP in there, I added my IP to fail2ban as ignorred - but my root-server continuis adding my IP to deny.hosts. What can I still do? | 06:38 |
| reisio | sophie_: and if you typed the absolute path (from /) you can hit the up arrow | 06:38 |
| Hawkerz | BAMbanda, you have two options -- you can either double click it from nautilus or you can run it from the terminal with sudo dpkg -i | 06:39 |
| reisio | sophie_: or CTRL+r, then type a string that would match (like 'Newfolder') | 06:39 |
| rosco | Ben64: how about wmv9? would that codec or extension work? | 06:39 |
| sophie_ | reisio, what exactly is the difference between an absolute and relative path? | 06:39 |
| BAMbanda | Hawkerz, terminal sounds cooler, thanks | 06:39 |
| reisio | rosco: according to ffmpeg's site it supports wmv7 | 06:39 |
| reisio | rosco: but I don't know how much I trust philips' site, and it's possible it is partially or wholly backwards compatible | 06:39 |
| Hawkerz | BAMbanda, it's just sudo dpkg -i package.deb | 06:39 |
| reisio | sophie_: /foo/bar/ is always at /foo/bar/ no matter where you are | 06:40 |
| rosco | ffmpeg is still going. i'll have to wait to try ffmpeg -i name.mp4 name.wmv9 | 06:40 |
| reisio | sophie_: bar/baz is not always at bar/baz depending on where you are | 06:40 |
| Ben64 | BAMbanda: what are you trying to install? .deb is usually the wrong way to get software | 06:40 |
| reisio | sophie_: nor ../foo | 06:40 |
| reisio | sophie_: / is absolute, it is always at / | 06:40 |
| sophie_ | hmm | 06:41 |
| BAMbanda | Ben64, ubuntu-tweak, so I can install themes easier =P | 06:42 |
| wylde | rosco, just changing the extension in the output filename won't do anything. | 06:42 |
| reisio | sophie_: it's like "1020 AD" vs "993 years ago" :) | 06:42 |
| Ben64 | BAMbanda: thats available without installing a deb manually | 06:42 |
| reisio | the former is absolute, the latter relative | 06:42 |
| Hawkerz | sophie_, think of it like this: when you are walking the linux filesystem, you are telling it how yo ucan get from point A to point B -- '/' is root, and it is the base of your filesystem all the time | 06:42 |
| AtuM | is there a separate channel for server support? | 06:42 |
| BAMbanda | Ben64, you mean from apt-get? | 06:42 |
| reisio | AtuM: /msg alis list *ubunt*serv* | 06:42 |
| Ben64 | AtuM: #ubuntu-server | 06:42 |
| apb | sophie_: Absolute path starts with / that is the root.... the top... the head. No matter what directory you're currently in, an absolute path will get you to that specific path. Relative path is in relation to what directory you're currently in and does NOT start with / | 06:42 |
| Ben64 | BAMbanda: indeed | 06:42 |
| sophie_ | Ohh I see | 06:43 |
| Hawkerz | sophie_, when you pass a path that starts at /, you are saying you would like to go back to the base of the system and walk back up from there | 06:43 |
| Hawkerz | sophie_, but if you're on 42nd street and you want to get to 50th street, it wouldn't make a lot of sense to go all the way to 1st street every time :p | 06:43 |
| sophie_ | Yeah :3 | 06:43 |
| BAMbanda | Ben64, eh, already did the dirty work, no turning back, thanks though | 06:43 |
| sophie_ | So if it's not directly from root, then it's a relative path | 06:44 |
| Ben64 | BAMbanda: keep in mind you can't receive support here anymore then | 06:44 |
| reisio | rosco: use -t 00:00:10 to make it only do 10 seconds | 06:44 |
| reisio | rosco: see #ffmpeg for more details | 06:44 |
| reisio | sophie_: basically | 06:44 |
| BAMbanda | Ben64, what do you mean | 06:45 |
| rogston | Has anyone here installed ubuntu minimal on sony vaio pro 13? I've tried different images but the wlan drivers aren't included in them. Ubuntu-live works just fine but I want to do a minimal install. | 06:45 |
| apb | sophie_: /home/sophie/fun is an absolute path. ./fun is a relative path - relative to /home/sophie/ | 06:45 |
| reisio | rogston: why minimal? | 06:45 |
| Ben64 | BAMbanda: installing stuff manually like that is unsupported and can cause problems. you cannot get support here with manually installed software. | 06:45 |
| reisio | rogston: you end up with the same system AFAIK | 06:45 |
| reisio | apb: sophie_: well, ./fun is relative to where you are at the time :) | 06:46 |
| sophie_ | apb, Oh I see, I think I grasp it now | 06:46 |
| BAMbanda | Ben64, so my whole system is like not eligible for irc ubuntu support? | 06:46 |
| reisio | ~/fun would be relative to /home/sophie/ | 06:46 |
| Hawkerz | sophie_, right, and you can chain multiple shortcuts together. For instance, if you're in /home/sophie/Documents/papers and you want to get to /home/sophie/Downloads, you have to go up 2 directories (back to /home/sophie) and then back down into Downloads. You can do that with a few commands: cd ../../Downloads ; cd ~/Downloads ; cd /home/sophie/Downloads | 06:46 |
| reisio | and ./fun would be, if you were at /home/sophie/ | 06:46 |
| Hawkerz | all will get you to the same place :p | 06:46 |
| rogston | reisio: I don't use any of the basic stuff from normal ubuntu and I want to install few packages | 06:46 |
| Ben64 | BAMbanda: you should just install it the normal way --- https://launchpad.net/~tualatrix/+archive/ppa | 06:46 |
| BAMbanda | Ben64, i will keep that in mind from now on | 06:46 |
| ObrienDave | BAMbanda... don't worry, someone will still help you. sheesh | 06:46 |
| apb | reisio: Yes, but I don't want to confuse her. Start simple, then build to more complex ideas. I was "speaking" in terms of my example. | 06:47 |
| BAMbanda | lol | 06:47 |
| reisio | rogston: the minimal lets you omit a desktop? | 06:47 |
| reisio | apb: terribad :p | 06:47 |
| rogston | reisio: with minimal you only have tty terminal and basic linux components | 06:47 |
| sophie_ | I see :3 | 06:47 |
| reisio | rogston: probably worth looking into debootstrap | 06:47 |
| Hawkerz | BAMbanda, if people refuse to help you, feel free to send me a pm | 06:48 |
| reisio | rogston: alternatively you could put the wireless stuff you need on the image with the minimal stuff, and manually utilize it | 06:48 |
| apb | sophie_: pwd is the command that will tell you "where you are", in the file system currently. It Prints the Working Directory. | 06:48 |
| Ben64 | Hawkerz, BAMbanda: or... just install things on ubuntu the ubuntu way? why make it harder than it needs to be? | 06:48 |
| BAMbanda | Hawkerz, thanks guys | 06:48 |
| ObrienDave | BAMbanda... some here will tell you they don't support software added through PPAs. go figure. | 06:48 |
| BAMbanda | I have respect for those who help people regardless of technical bs | 06:48 |
| apb | sophie_: If you're in /home/sophie then using anything but a / at the beginning of the path is relative to the current working directory. | 06:49 |
| Anonynimity | how would I manually add a gpg key to the gnome key ring? EX: I want to add a key - 124CT321 | 06:49 |
| Hawkerz | Ben64, he asked about installing a deb, there are plenty of reasons why people would want to do that, and about half of the 'top 10 things to do after installing...' articles include at least one | 06:49 |
| sophie_ | I just had a go with it I went from / to home | 06:50 |
| Hawkerz | I don't see why we wouldn't be able to support the use of a feature that is built into linux... | 06:50 |
| Ben64 | Hawkerz: for ubuntu-tweak, which is very easy to install via ppa, and makes it receive updates and is easy to remove, theres no reason to install ubuntu-tweak via deb | 06:50 |
| reisio | /cellar | 06:50 |
| Dr_Willis | theres to many ppa's out there - and some can be of very bad quality. the ppa's maker shouldbe the ones supporting them | 06:50 |
| sophie_ | Then got to bin using it | 06:50 |
| apb | sophie_: Good for you! | 06:50 |
| sophie_ | Tried it on OS X too to see if it was the same and it worked | 06:50 |
| Dr_Willis | i coulkd make a ppa thats totally broken. :) and then expect this channel to support it? | 06:50 |
| BAMbanda | Ben64, I had no knowledge of the alternative methods, I downloaded it from the website. Thanks for letting me know for future installs | 06:50 |
| apb | sophie_: You can use the tilde character ~ as a substitute for your home directory. So instead of "cd /home/sophie/fun" you'd type "cd ~/fun" | 06:51 |
| Hawkerz | Ben64, that is true, but I don't think it would have been the end of the world. It's not as though dpkg -i is that crazy | 06:51 |
| sophie_ | I'm guessing for the most part the file tree for linux(all?) and BSD/OSX is the same | 06:51 |
| sophie_ | And it will know which of the ones after home to follow? | 06:51 |
| Ben64 | Hawkerz: it's crazy for things you can get from a repository | 06:51 |
| apb | sophie_: Yes to same file tree | 06:52 |
| reisio | sophie_: ~/ is equivalent to /home/yourUser/ | 06:52 |
| sophie_ | Ahh okay | 06:52 |
| ObrienDave | Anonynimity... gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 124ct321 | 06:52 |
| Hawkerz | Ben64, that is true, and it is a good thing to try and make people aware of if they aren't | 06:52 |
| Anonynimity | thx ObrienDave | 06:52 |
| reisio | sophie_: although if you happen to be root (which would be rare on Ubuntu), sometime root's home dir is elsewhere, but you get the idea :p | 06:54 |
| reisio | sometimez | 06:54 |
| Dr_Willis | now explain what 'root' means. ;) it has like 6 differnt ussages/meanings ;P | 06:54 |
| sophie_ | reisio, yeah, as I understand on ubuntu at least, you operate as a normal user, and invoke root power when you need to administrate something. | 06:54 |
| Dr_Willis | it not more - heh. | 06:54 |
| ObrienDave | BAMbanda... nothing really wrong with installing straight from a .deb It is safer to go through the proper repositories | 06:55 |

| wilee-nilee | spoudaios, when | 06:57 |
| Hawkerz | wilee-nilee, not if you're not afraid of manpages | 06:57 |
| wilee-nilee | Hawkerzi I canj find them mr know it all. | 06:58 |
| spoudaios | wilee-nilee, When I try to start after all installation process | 06:58 |
| wilee-nilee | spoudaios, At boot? | 06:58 |
| wilee-nilee | from grub | 06:59 |
| spoudaios | Befor | 06:59 |
| Dr_Willis | befor grub? | 06:59 |
| spoudaios | ops | 06:59 |
| spoudaios | After | 06:59 |
| Dr_Willis | be more verbose in your answeres.. lag ans so forth make it very confuseing if you just give 1 word answers | 06:59 |
| spoudaios | Dr_Willis, Sorry about that | 06:59 |
| Dr_Willis | 'my system boots grub then goes black, i never see the login screen' (for example) | 07:00 |
| wilee-nilee | !nomodeset | spoudaios try this | 07:00 |
| reisio | sophie_: hrmmm | 07:00 |
| ubottu | spoudaios try this: 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 | 07:00 |
| Hawkerz | wilee-nilee, I guess my general feeling is that if someone is willing to mess around with the command line enough to install a deb, I support that. Yes, there are cleaner ways of installing software, but I am not going to discourage someone from learning just because they might have to learn more later | 07:00 |
| spoudaios | Let me be more specific | 07:00 |
| reisio | sophie_: classicaly you are part of the 'wheel' group to be able to become root | 07:00 |
| spoudaios | wilee-nilee, That is really interesting because I`ve done this already | 07:00 |
| Dr_Willis | also tell the channel what video card you are using, and if its an optimius based system or not. | 07:00 |
| wilee-nilee | spoudaios, really and felt it was not important to mention? | 07:01 |
| reisio | sophie_: 'privileges', yeah | 07:01 |
| wilee-nilee | just ribbing you | 07:01 |
| sophie_ | Ah okay, and OSX shares this system | 07:01 |
| spoudaios | wilee-nilee, First I selected mode nomodeset and then access the mode to use the system without installing it | 07:02 |
| wilee-nilee | spoudaios, It's installed now right? | 07:02 |
| HypnotiX | I install nvidia-prime on 13.10 (im running and optimus system) and i get the following error when i try to configure my second monitor: Failed to apply configuration: %s GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SettingsDaemon was not provided by any .service files | 07:02 |
| reisio | sophie_: Mac OS and GNU/Linux are both Unix systems, yup, lot of common ground | 07:02 |
| reisio | sophie_: and even Windows technically has the same sort of privilege escalation system | 07:03 |
| reisio | it's just historically awful at it | 07:03 |
| sophie_ | reisio, I thought linux was a 'clone' of unix | 07:03 |
| reisio | sophie_: yup, GNU/Linux | 07:03 |
| wilee-nilee | spoudaios, have you tried nomodeset from modifying inn grub? | 07:03 |
| sophie_ | But is it a clone in the sense of how things operate AND work, or is it just made to behave like unix? | 07:03 |
| ObrienDave | Windows is historically awful at most things LOL | 07:04 |
| spoudaios | wilee-nilee, No. How can I do that | 07:04 |
| reisio | sophie_: both | 07:04 |
| wilee-nilee | spoudaios, check the link it will show you. | 07:04 |
| reisio | sophie_: GNU is an on purpose Unix clone, and Linux is a mostly on purpose Unix kernel clone | 07:04 |
| sophie_ | So Linux is in a sense to Unix like ReactOS is to Windows | 07:04 |
| reisio | mostly on purpose mostly Unix kernel clone :) | 07:04 |
| reisio | sophie_: basically yeah | 07:04 |
| spoudaios | wilee-nilee, Thank you so much. | 07:05 |
| reisio | only GNU probably predates reactos | 07:05 |
| wilee-nilee | no problem hopefully that works spoudaios | 07:05 |
| reisio | yes, by 13 years | 07:05 |
| wilee-nilee | rubuntuOS | 07:05 |
| Ben64 | reisio: there is no wheel group in ubuntu | 07:05 |
| reisio | predates windows, even | 07:05 |
| sophie_ | So that's why BSD and Linux have a big degree of cross-compatibility | 07:05 |
| reisio | Ben64: far out | 07:06 |
| spoudaios | wilee-nilee, Sorry for any inconvenience. I`ll try. | 07:06 |
| reisio | sophie_: yes, both very Unixy | 07:06 |
| Ben64 | and can we get back on topic here? #ubuntu-offtopic is that way -> | 07:06 |
| wilee-nilee | spoudaios, Don;t worry about it we just want to help if we can. ;) | 07:06 |

| nii236|irssi | Hey guys, where can I go for some support? I need some help with fstab | 07:10 |
| reisio | nii236|irssi: /join #ubuntu | 07:10 |
| nii236|irssi | So here is fine? | 07:10 |
| Dr_Willis | !fstab | nii236|irssi | 07:10 |
| ubottu | nii236|irssi: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 07:10 |
| * reisio puts index finger to nose | 07:10 | |
| wilee-nilee | I'm installing ubuntu in a potato, inside a pigeon inside a chicken inside a turkey, inside a pig roasted in a pit. | 07:10 |
| reisio | nii236|irssi: yes | 07:10 |
| reisio | wilee-nilee: there's documentation of someone doing that with like... 13 birds | 07:11 |
| reisio | Anonynimity: heh | 07:11 |
| apb | I have a list of paths, in a file, that I want to find out how much disk each dir is using. What's a good way to do that? | 07:11 |
| Anonynimity | ?? @ Reisio? | 07:11 |
| reisio | apb: the not wonderful way is to see if they have any strange chars, and then do for i in `cat file`; do du -hs "$i"; done | 07:11 |
| wilee-nilee | sounds like lefrench technique | 07:12 |
| === Guest57978 is now known as bitnumus | ||
| apb | yeah, I was hoping there was a more wonderful way to do it | 07:12 |
| reisio | apb: there is :) | 07:12 |
| reisio | apb: how'd you generate the file? | 07:12 |
| apb | with find... and then hand edited it | 07:12 |
| reisio | the list* | 07:12 |
| Anonynimity | I love my computer... I can sort the bugs out later wilee-nilee | 07:12 |
| reisio | apb: how did you edit it? | 07:12 |
| apb | with vi | 07:12 |
| reisio | apb: but I mean what did you exclude | 07:13 |
| apb | stuff I didn't want to save | 07:13 |
| reisio | apb: what you should probably do is exclude with find's built in exclusion methods | 07:13 |
| apb | there's no pattern | 07:13 |
| reisio | apb: and then tag on an -exec du -hs {} \; | 07:13 |
| reisio | no pattern, oof | 07:13 |
| reisio | still, you can add in as many patterns as you want to exclude | 07:13 |
| vlt | Hello. I want to get a diff file but get an out of memory error. Does someone know an option for diff that can handle really large files better without filling the memory? | 07:13 |
| nii236|irssi | reisio ok I'm trying to automount a samba share by adding a line in fstab. Its //192.168.1.1/volume(sda1). But the brackets in the path make it difficult to mount properly. | 07:14 |
| apb | yeah... i tried using size as my filter to start... but it didn't work. | 07:14 |
| Jordan_U | vlt: What is your end goal? | 07:14 |
| Dr_Willis | nii236|irssi: change the share name - would be a good idea. | 07:14 |
| vlt | Jordan_U: To get a .diff file. | 07:14 |
| apb | reisio: I did find `pwd` -size +1k -size -50M but that just didn't work... so the rest was pointless. | 07:14 |
| Dr_Willis | nii236|irssi: use of () in the paths are going to cause all sorts of issues in many ways | 07:15 |
| nii236|irssi | Dr_Willis: I'll give it a go. Its connected to the router which is not very cooperative when it comes to tweaking | 07:15 |
| apb | reisio: I ended up just doing a find -type d and then hand editing | 07:15 |
| Jordan_U | vlt: That's not an end goal. Why do you want to generate a .diff? What is this file you're diffing? | 07:15 |
| Dr_Willis | nii236|irssi: you dont escape characters in fstab like you do in a normal shell either. | 07:15 |
| nii236|irssi | Dr_Willis: Putty " " around the path makes it work fine if I type it directly in the terminal. But in fstab it doesn't work | 07:16 |
| nii236|irssi | 'putting | 07:16 |
| Dr_Willis | nii236|irssi: its possible if the filesystem had a proper label - it might use the label name | 07:16 |
| luc4 | Hello! Anyone else getting repeated crashes of Eclipse Kepler because of crahses of openjdk? | 07:16 |
| Dr_Willis | nii236|irssi: correct.. fstab does NOT quote things the same way | 07:16 |
| vlt | Jordan_U: The file is a large SQL dump. Getting a .diff file is not an end goal? | 07:16 |
| Dr_Willis | nii236|irssi: dirty work around. put the mount command in /etc/rc.local so it mounts at boot time. ;) | 07:16 |
| nii236|irssi | Dr_Willis: Would it instead be possible to add a command at startup that is just the standard mount -t cifs blah blah blah | 07:16 |
| nii236|irssi | Dr_Willis: Ah exactly, nice | 07:16 |
| * Dr_Willis has esp.. and allready said how. ;) | 07:17 | |
| Jordan_U | vlt: No, it's not. Unless you really like looking at large diff files. | 07:17 |
| reisio | apb: let's see | 07:17 |
| apb | reisio: I also tried du -h --files0-from=find.out.keep but that barfed | 07:18 |
| sophie_ | Night :3, thanks for the filesystem answers! | 07:19 |
| Jordan_U | vlt: If I knew your end goal I could likely suggest better tools / methods to achieve it. For example, rsync is much more efficient for transferring large differences between files than diff. | 07:19 |
| reisio | apb: while IFS= read -r line; do du -hs ''"$line"''; done < fileWutIsAListOfFiles | 07:19 |
| apb | reisio: worser and worser :) I like the first one better. | 07:20 |
| reisio | apb: which one? :p | 07:20 |
| apb | reisio: except the first one didn't work. I have spaces in my file names... it's an NTFS... for i in `cat file`; do du -hs "$i"; done | 07:22 |
| reisio | apb: oh that one | 07:22 |
| vlt | Jordan_U: I don’t want to look at large but at small diffs instead. I know rsync but I really want to see the few lines that have changed between both ~2GB SQL dumps. Any idea? | 07:22 |
| reisio | apb: right, well I said it was not wonderful | 07:22 |
| reisio | apb: use while IFS way | 07:22 |
| apb | what is IFS being changed to? a space? nothing? | 07:23 |
| apb | null? | 07:23 |
| reisio | apb: in future I'd do something like... find . -type d -size +1G -exec du -hs {} \; | sort -h, you'll find those space sucking dirs fast | 07:24 |
| Kurisutian | Hi there! Does anyone know if it is possible to have partitions mounted to a encrpyfs Private folder (not encrypted home directory)? I want to use btrfs subvolumes (which look like folders) and have some of them encrypted through the encryptfs Private folder. Do you know if that's possible? For various reasons I cannot have my complete home directory encrypted.... thanks! :-) | 07:24 |
| Jordan_U | vlt: Making a git repository containing one of the files, making a single commit, then copying the second file over the first and running "git diff" will likely work. | 07:24 |
| reisio | apb: it's explained in man bash, /Internal | 07:25 |
| Jordan_U | vlt: In fact, try just using git diff instead of diff (without creating a repo). | 07:25 |
| reisio | Kurisutian: ecryptfs | 07:25 |
| reisio | Kurisutian: I'm not aware of any particular locale restrictions on either ecryptfs or encfs | 07:26 |
| reisio | it just happens that many people use them for home | 07:26 |
| apb | reisio: I tried that last find too... it returns nothing. | 07:26 |
| apb | reisio: I even reduced the size. Still nothing. And it should have found something. There's something funky about combining size and type d | 07:27 |
| hejux | finally, i got Mavericks and iOS 7.0.3 installed | 07:27 |
| reisio | apb: oh, -size must be hinkey with -type d | 07:28 |
| reisio | apb: yeah | 07:28 |
| hejux | and brew helps me to get irssi installed | 07:28 |
| ola2 | unable to access jar file | 07:28 |
| ola2 | java -jar Test.jar | 07:28 |
| ola2 | what to do | 07:28 |
| ola2 | i have installed java on ubuntu | 07:28 |
| ola2 | but nothings happening | 07:28 |
| ola2 | plz help | 07:28 |
| Ben64 | calm down, stop spamming, give details | 07:29 |
| Dr_Willis | ola2: sounds like yo are not giveing the right path to the jar file | 07:29 |
| wylde | ola2, are you using the correct path to the .jar file? | 07:29 |
| Dr_Willis | java --version | 07:29 |
| apb | reisio: Also, I know what IFS is... I was asking if you were setting it to NULL... I assume so since I don't see any other chars there. | 07:29 |
| Kurisutian | reisio: So for ecryptfs it would be possible to mount my subvols into the .Private folder and have them later automatically unlocked with Pam when I log in? Do I have to mount the subvols to Private or .Private? | 07:29 |
| ola2 | im not giving path | 07:29 |
| ola2 | instead im in same directory | 07:29 |
| ola2 | will it help | 07:29 |
| Dr_Willis | ola2: ls -l *.jar and see whats there | 07:29 |
| ola2 | ok let me try | 07:30 |
| reisio | apb: right http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/001#Trimming | 07:30 |
| ola2 | it says cannot acces *.jar | 07:30 |
| vlt | Jordan_U: Thank you, I’ll try that. | 07:31 |
| Dr_Willis | ola2: looks like its not in the same directory you are in now | 07:31 |
| reisio | Kurisutian: afaik there are no particular restrictions, they just mount encrypted data as decrypted data where you tell them to | 07:31 |
| ola2 | im | 07:31 |
| Dr_Willis | ola2: ls shows files.. you seem to be in a diffdfnt directory | 07:31 |
| apb | reisio: well, that one did work. Just not intuitive enough for me to have thought of it. So thank you | 07:31 |
| ola2 | its in home | 07:31 |
| Ben64 | ola2: read the full error message .... ls: cannot access *.jar: No such file or directory | 07:31 |
| ola2 | so im in home directory | 07:31 |
| Dr_Willis | ola2: and 'pwd' shows what' ? does ls show the file? | 07:31 |
| Ben64 | ola2: see where it says "no such file or directory" that means its not there | 07:31 |
| ola2 | ya no such file found u r right | 07:32 |
| ola2 | what to do | 07:32 |
| wylde | ola2, and is it "Test.jar" or "test.jar" it matters. ;) | 07:32 |
| Dr_Willis | ola2: i imagien you are doin some silly bash mistake | 07:32 |
| Dr_Willis | ola2: use 'ls' and LOOK at what files are there | 07:32 |
| reisio | apb: yeah which is why I didn't suggest it at the outset :p | 07:32 |
| reisio | apb: worth tucking away for a rainy day, though | 07:32 |
| Kurisutian | reisio: So folder names stay the same inside the .Private folder, just filenames and their content will be encrypted? I was just struggeling if I can still mount the subvols first to the folders before decryption when the foldernames actually would be encrypted as well. | 07:32 |
| ola2 | one thing too | 07:33 |
| ola2 | when i type java --help | 07:33 |
| ola2 | it says couldont create java virtual machine | 07:33 |
| ola2 | what to do plz tell | 07:33 |
| reisio | Kurisutian: you can have several directories each containing individually encrypted data volumes, if that's what you mean | 07:33 |
| Dr_Willis | ola2: i think a good place to start would be some bash tutorials | 07:34 |
| ola2 | no no sir | 07:34 |
| ola2 | the thing is that | 07:34 |
| Dr_Willis | java -version or java --version shold show the version of java | 07:34 |
| ola2 | i will give my friend java | 07:34 |
| ola2 | means deb packages of java | 07:34 |
| Dr_Willis | not all commands take double dashes | 07:34 |
| ola2 | now tell me how to do that | 07:34 |
| reisio | 'java' could mean a lot of things | 07:34 |
| faizul | hello guys | 07:34 |
| ola2 | i have downloaded apt packages of java and dependencies | 07:34 |
| Dr_Willis | does 'java -version' show any info ola2 ? | 07:34 |
| ola2 | no | 07:34 |
| ola2 | it says | 07:34 |
| reisio | Kurisutian: you might want to look into encfs over ecryptfs | 07:34 |
| ola2 | couldnot create jvm | 07:35 |
| ola2 | im not able to get where is mistake | 07:35 |
| reisio | Kurisutian: probably more appropriate, if I'm understanding you right | 07:35 |
| Dr_Willis | ola2: --version and -version are 2 diffdrfnt options . looks like java IS running | 07:35 |
| Dr_Willis | or it wouldent say that | 07:35 |
| ola2 | java -version working | 07:35 |
| ola2 | it says java 1.7. ..... | 07:35 |
| Dr_Willis | ola2: so java is working. | 07:35 |
| ola2 | yes sir | 07:36 |
| Dr_Willis | now LOOK in your directory . and see what files are there | 07:36 |
| Kurisutian | reisio: encfs to me is just way to slow compared to ecryptfs and luks is also out of the loop since I have to decrypt by logging in with the user... | 07:36 |
| ola2 | but my program is not working | 07:36 |
| ola2 | ok | 07:36 |
| ola2 | ok it sows me | 07:36 |
| ola2 | i have one file | 07:36 |
| ola2 | Test.jar | 07:36 |
| nii236|irssi | Dr_Willis: Ok the cheap workaround with rc.local worked, except it mounts before my device finishes connecting to wifi so the samba share isn't available yet. Is there a way to add a delay to rc.local or tell it to wait to finish connecting to wifi first? | 07:36 |
| ola2 | but not able to run it | 07:36 |
| Dr_Willis | ola2: and HOW are you trying to run it exactly? | 07:36 |
| Jordan_U | vlt: You're welcome. | 07:37 |
| wylde | nii236|irssi, sleep 30 ;) | 07:37 |
| wylde | or 5 or 10 | 07:37 |
| nii236|irssi | wylde: Cheers | 07:37 |
| reisio | Kurisutian: how often are you accessing the data... | 07:37 |
| reisio | Kurisutian: might be time for that new aes-ni ready processor | 07:37 |
| Kurisutian | reisio: but thanks for the information. I intend to have several folders encrypted like ~/.Private/Documents which contain my encrypted documents as mounted btrfs subvolumes (so the subvolume for Documents will be mounted to ./Private/Documents through fstab) and I wasn't sure how ecryptfs handles the folder names I need as mountpoints | 07:38 |
| Dr_Willis | nii236|irssi: 'sleep 300' befor the command | 07:38 |
| Dr_Willis | nii236|irssi: or some other time to delay | 07:38 |
| nii236|irssi | Dr_Willis: Yep thanks I'll give it a go | 07:38 |
| Kurisutian | reiso: haven's heard of aes-ni... what's that about? I was hoping the guys developing btrfs would implement a option to encrypt subvolumes... like they implemented raid functionality... but that ain't gonna happen soon if ever at all... | 07:39 |
| reisio | Kurisutian: they probably still have bigger fish to fry ATM | 07:40 |
| reisio | Kurisutian: aes-ni is an instruction set newer processors have so they can crunch aes encryption faster | 07:40 |
| Kurisutian | reisio: OK, I missread your post.... I already have AES-NI (Intel I7-4770). But still I intent to have an automatic decryption when logging in locally or through ssh. Don't think encfs can do that, right? That's the idea... ;-) | 07:41 |
| reisio | Kurisutian: no it can | 07:42 |
| reisio | and probably more simply than ecryptfs, I believe | 07:42 |
| reisio | hence recommendation | 07:42 |
| reisio | Kurisutian: with pam_mount, or a couple other methods I've seen | 07:44 |

| Dr_Willis | zorin0s: err.. are you using ubuntu? | 07:49 |
| zorin0s | yes | 07:49 |
| Dr_Willis | you could at least give a summary of the problem | 07:50 |
| Kurisutian | reisio: I'd prefer to go with ecryptfs over encfs but keep that one as a backup in case nothing works. So I will create some mountpoints under .Private after setting this up with ecryptfs and mount my subvolumes to these folders... hopefully it'll work and I will see them under Private the same way... then everything will be great and just as I need it to be. Thank you so much for your help. :-) | 07:50 |
| Dr_Willis | i recall seeing some .deb's of the razor config tools - i got them on my desktop at home. | 07:50 |

| apb | I'm getting aggravated.. is there a good backup utility? One that will let me both select and exclude individual files and/or dirs? Something that works like a good file manager such that I can see file and dir sizes? And will backup to a cloud server? | 07:51 |
| Dr_Willis | !compile | 07:51 |
| ubottu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first). Also read !checkinstall | 07:51 |
| wylde | zorin0s, typically tarballs will come with readme's. Did you have a look? | 07:51 |
| reisio | apb: that's a lot of jobs, "good" things usually do only one job | 07:51 |
| Dr_Willis | extract the archive. install th eneeded compiler tools and compile the code | 07:52 |
| zorin0s | yes but i dont understand it | 07:52 |
| Dr_Willis | !b-e | 07:52 |
| ubottu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 07:52 |
| Dr_Willis | !info build-essential | 07:52 |
| ubottu | build-essential (source: build-essential): Informational list of build-essential packages. In component main, is optional. Version 11.6ubuntu5 (saucy), package size 5 kB, installed size 37 kB | 07:52 |
| Joost | I tried asking in ##linux, but I guess it's appropriate here | 07:52 |
| Dr_Willis | install the build-essential package to get the core of the compiler tools | 07:53 |
| Joost | I'm trying to symlink an executable to ~/bin/foo, but it becomes dangling - when I symlink to ~/foo, it works fine. Symlinking to ~/bar/foo does not work either :( | 07:53 |
| Joost | What could that be? | 07:53 |
| Dr_Willis | Joost: you may want to use full paths | 07:53 |
| ikonia | or you may want to use the zorinos channel rather than ubuntu | 07:53 |
| Dr_Willis | i always get ln options backwards | 07:53 |
| ikonia | seeing as your using zorinos | 07:53 |
| Joost | Dr_Willis: thank you! | 07:54 |
| ola2 | people i need help | 07:54 |
| Joost | Not sure why that makes a difference though | 07:54 |
| ola2 | i want to give java to my friend | 07:54 |
| reisio | linuxuz3r: I _think_ you could use autocutsel to nullify it | 07:54 |
| apb | reisio: Really it's a file manager with 2 extra features... selecting and excluding... and executing a copy to the cloud command. | 07:54 |
| reisio | I forget | 07:54 |
| ola2 | my friend doesnot have java | 07:54 |
| Dr_Willis | ola2: and your java was working.. java -version showed it was working | 07:54 |
| ola2 | i want to gove it to him as .deb | 07:54 |
| ola2 | ya java working | 07:54 |
| reisio | apb: did you have a "cloud" in mind? | 07:54 |
| ola2 | but now give it to friend | 07:54 |
| apb | reisio: yes | 07:54 |
| ola2 | means all deb | 07:55 |
| ola2 | i have downlaoded all deb | 07:55 |
| ola2 | but not working on friend machone | 07:55 |
| ola2 | javac not found | 07:55 |
| ola2 | i want this statement complete | 07:55 |
| ola2 | apt-get download java ... | 07:55 |
| ola2 | with all dependencies | 07:55 |
| ola2 | i posted this question yesteday | 07:55 |
| auronandace | !enter | ola2 | 07:55 |
| ubottu | ola2: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 07:55 |
| ola2 | and tried solution but not working | 07:55 |
| ikonia | ola2: the command is apt-get install - not download | 07:56 |
| ola2 | ok ok im sorry. | 07:56 |
| ikonia | ola2: and you need to chose which java package you want | 07:56 |
| ola2 | no i dont want to install. | 07:56 |
| ola2 | i want to apt-get download and give al deb to friend. | 07:56 |
| ola2 | how to do that | 07:56 |
| telexl | nii236|irssi (apologies for the delay): the 'proper' way to wait for an interface to be up would be to tie it into hotplug. | 07:56 |
| ikonia | ola2: get your friend to do apt-get install | 07:56 |
| ikonia | ola2: don't give him debs manually | 07:56 |
| ola2 | i have to | 07:56 |
| reisio | apb: ...which? | 07:56 |
| ikonia | ola2: why ? | 07:56 |
| wylde | ola2, you've been given a number of answers over the last coulpe days. aptoncd aptzip etc ....he wants java and all deps to install on either a non-networked pc or to simply avoid downloading on the other pc. | 07:56 |
| ola2 | he doesnot has internet | 07:56 |
| Uriel_ | I put it a full install of 13.10 on my laptop and i was very very happy with it until a discovery i can put it recognising Epson sx 130 scanner . Please help me with ideas or commands to type on terminal because iam newby on it. | 07:57 |
| ola2 | ya wylde sir but solution not working | 07:57 |
| Dr_Willis | ola2: take his pc to your house and installit for him | 07:57 |
| Joost | Dr_Willis: any idea why the full path makes a difference in comparison to using ~ ? I thought that would just get evaluated to the full thing | 07:57 |
| ola2 | lol pc to my house | 07:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Joost: ~is a bash feature. not a file system feature | 07:57 |
| ola2 | hes far away | 07:57 |
| ola2 | i will give him in pendrive | 07:57 |
| ola2 | plz help | 07:57 |
| ikonia | ola2: if he doesn't have internet access, why does he need java ? | 07:58 |
| Joost | ah, that makes sense | 07:58 |
| ikonia | ola2: also if he has the ubuntu installation media it maybe worth checking if it's one of the packages included on there to be installed | 07:58 |
| apb | reisio: 15GB free. If you use this referral link to sign up, BOTH of us get an extra 5GB free. https://copy.com?r=8YnVFa | 07:58 |
| ola2 | to be installed ?? | 07:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Joost: anytimg i see peopel using ~ i cringe ;) | 07:58 |
| wylde | ola2, http://askubuntu.com/questions/3576/how-to-make-usb-drive-as-local-repository | 07:59 |
| ola2 | its old ubuntu without java | 07:59 |
| apb | reisio: It functions like a mounted drive. pretty cool | 07:59 |
| Dr_Willis | ola2: old? he IS using the same version as you are using? | 07:59 |
| Joost | It's good to know where it comes from | 07:59 |
| Dr_Willis | ola2: if not - your plan is doomed from the start | 07:59 |
| Joost | I wouldnt have assumed it could be a cause for this error, otherwise | 07:59 |
| Joost | thanks again :) | 07:59 |
| ikonia | ola2: ok so again, if he has the installation media it maybe included on that, and if he doesn't have internet, why does he need java | 07:59 |
| ola2 | no sir u are misunderstanding . | 07:59 |
| ola2 | i will give java to friend in deb | 07:59 |
| reisio | copy.com, nice domain | 07:59 |
| ola2 | if u have another idea i will do it | 07:59 |
| Dr_Willis | ola2: and what ubuntu release is he using? | 08:00 |
| reisio | I'm only personally interested in things I can use with FUSE anymore | 08:00 |
| wylde | ola2, have a look at the link I posted | 08:00 |
| ikonia | ola2: 1.) why does he need java if he doesn't have internet | 08:00 |
| ola2 | 12.02 | 08:00 |
| ikonia | ola2: 2.) java maybe on the installation media used to install ubuntu - check that | 08:00 |
| Dr_Willis | ola2: ansd what ubuntu release are you using? | 08:00 |
| ola2 | to run a software i have built in java | 08:00 |
| telexl | nii236|irssi (apologies for the delay): or possibly, put a script in /etc/init and have it depend on the wireless interface being up. | 08:00 |
| apb | reisio: I just started using them. it's time I started backing up my stuff... and with 15GB free... I can get a fair amount backed up. | 08:00 |
| xmetal | oops | 08:00 |
| zorin0s | Dr_Willis, http://pastebin.com/e21jTjZu | 08:01 |
| ola2 | problem is that i have downloaded all dependencies but still not working | 08:01 |
| reisio | apb: yeah :) | 08:01 |
| Womkes | what is the correct way to spell "how to" in the context of tutorials would you use "how to", "how-to" or "howto" ? | 08:01 |
| Dr_Willis | ola2: then i would imagine you missed one | 08:01 |
| reisio | google drive starts at 15gb, too, IIRC | 08:01 |
| telexl | Womkes: I'd write 'HOWTO'. | 08:01 |
| Dr_Willis | ola2: you are testing this on his machine now? | 08:01 |
| reisio | apb: so they have a linux binary that makes it mount? | 08:01 |
| ola2 | Dr_Willis: sir u gave me a link | 08:01 |
| ola2 | ya he is testing on his machine | 08:01 |
| ola2 | called me on phone not working | 08:01 |
| Dr_Willis | then you missed a package.. seems rather straight forward | 08:02 |
| apb | reisio: You don't actually mount it.. it acts like a virtual drive... out there. You just copy to it as if it were another filesystem. | 08:02 |
| reisio | Womkes: technically it'd be 'how-to', but I would use 'how to', as that's the original they're all derived from | 08:02 |
| Dr_Willis | zorin0s: yes..those are directions.. what of it. | 08:03 |
| ikonia | ola2: going to need more information than "not working" | 08:03 |
| ikonia | zorin0s: take this to #zorinos please. | 08:03 |
| reisio | apb: right, distinction between a command and an actual mount | 08:03 |
| zorin0s | do i have to install the python stuff | 08:03 |
| reisio | apb: does 'mount' say it's fuse? | 08:03 |
| telexl | wonder if there's a 'howto howto'.. | 08:03 |
| Dr_Willis | zorin0s: only if you want it to work i imagine. | 08:03 |
| ikonia | zorin0s: you're not using ubuntu | 08:03 |
| reisio | apb: or are you saying 'mount' doesn't even show it | 08:03 |
| ola2 | sir , plz wait im giving all information. | 08:03 |
| zorin0s | how do you know ikonia ? | 08:03 |
| ikonia | you said in zorinos the same question | 08:03 |

| zorin0s | zorin is based off ubuntu | 08:04 |
| ikonia | zorin0s: it's not ubuntu | 08:04 |
| nicklas_ | hello, i think there is a bug in the new xubuntu. when i ran the live xubuntu 13.10 64 bit, the volume applet in panel shows its on mute, and when i click it, i get an empty little white line. i thought it would get fixed after installing, but its still the same after doing all updates. i still have sound though, checked with youtube. so how to fix this? | 08:04 |
| jnor | anyone might know why colors are missing from the calendar overview in vanilla wyrd? http://oi39.tinypic.com/2vdpw68.jpg | 08:04 |
| ikonia | zorin0s: so please take it to #zorinos | 08:04 |
| ola2 | sir this would be too long plz dont kick | 08:04 |
| zorin0s | im happy here thanks | 08:04 |
| reisio | apb: but does it show up in 'mount' output? | 08:04 |
| apb | reisio: mount doesn't show it.. it's not actually mounted. It just functions similar as you can see from the above example. | 08:04 |
| reisio | ah okay | 08:05 |
| ikonia | zorin0s: sorry, I'm not making it clear. "please don't take your questions to #zorinos - they support zorinos, not this channel" | 08:05 |
| apb | reisio: They also have a GUI version that functions like dropbox... you just drag and drop your file | 08:05 |
| Womkes | ok thanks | 08:06 |
| ikonia | ola2: you're going to need to get infomation about what/how it's not working | 08:06 |
| reisio | apb: ew :p | 08:06 |
| apb | reisio: but since I have a plethora of files & dirs to backup, I prefer the command line version... however I have specific files I don't want to backup due to space limitations. | 08:06 |
| ola2 | yeah just one second | 08:06 |

| ola2 | im sorry | 08:07 |
| ola2 | plz help i got these debs i have mentioned above | 08:07 |
| reisio | I can get 15gb free without following a link already :p and probably more if I were interested | 08:07 |
| apb | reisio: The guy that referred me says he has 170GB free. | 08:08 |
| ikonia | ola2: stop and listen | 08:08 |
| reisio | actually I think my gmail has 30gb? | 08:08 |
| ikonia | ola2: tell is "what is not working" | 08:08 |
| ola2 | yes sir | 08:08 |
| ola2 | the wrong is that im not able to run java programs | 08:08 |
| Dr_Willis | been playing with Owncloud lately. ;) make your own cloud. | 08:08 |
| ikonia | ola2: what do you mean "you" are not able to run java processes, I thought this was for your friend on your friends machine | 08:08 |
| wylde | ola2, http://askubuntu.com/questions/3576/how-to-make-usb-drive-as-local-repository <---- You aren't or your friend isn't? | 08:08 |

| ola2 | sir , first it should atleast run on my machine | 08:09 |
| ola2 | i have created a vitrual machine | 08:09 |
| ikonia | ola2: why are you not telling the truth | 08:09 |
| ola2 | then downloaded all debs n that | 08:09 |
| ikonia | ola2: what is the error | 08:09 |
| ola2 | sir , how could i give wrong thing to friend | 08:09 |
| === tomtiger11 is now known as Guest82067 | ||
| ola2 | error is java is running but program cant | 08:10 |
| ola2 | i have all thing right | 08:10 |
| ikonia | ola2: how did you install the packages | 08:10 |
| Dr_Willis | ola2: and whats the exact command you are using.. and whats the exact error message? | 08:10 |
| ola2 | dpkg -i *.deb | 08:10 |
| ikonia | ola2: that won't work | 08:10 |
| ola2 | then to run java program | 08:10 |
| ikonia | ola2: what did the output of dpkg -i *.deb say | 08:10 |
| ola2 | ikonia: sir i have downloade all .deb packages | 08:10 |
| ikonia | ola2: you keep saying that - but I'm not asking that | 08:11 |
| ikonia | ola2: answer the question I asked | 08:11 |
| ola2 | it sintalls without error | 08:11 |
| DJJeff | ii pulseaudio 1:4.0-0ubuntu6 amd64 | 08:11 |
| ikonia | ola2: so all the debs install without any errors or warnings | 08:11 |
| * xmetal scratches head | 08:11 | |
| ola2 | instllation without error java installed correctly | 08:11 |
| DJJeff | is extremely broken | 08:11 |
| ola2 | ya | 08:11 |
| ikonia | ola2: ok, so what is the output of the dpkg command | 08:11 |
| ola2 | but unable to run .jar file | 08:11 |
| apb | Dr_Willis: How much space? | 08:11 |
| ola2 | output of dpkg command : unpackaged al debs | 08:11 |
| ola2 | like this | 08:11 |
| sympathix | bonjour | 08:12 |
| Dr_Willis | apb: huh? for owncloud? as much as you make on your pc ;) | 08:12 |
| Dr_Willis | apb: its on your own server ;) | 08:12 |
| ola2 | ikonia : sir , it shows all deb unpackaged and installed | 08:12 |
| apb | Dr_Willis: Kind of defeats the purpose of "the cloud" | 08:12 |
| ola2 | now what to do | 08:12 |
| Dr_Willis | apb: not really | 08:12 |
| ola2 | i ran this | 08:12 |
| ola2 | java -jar Test.jar | 08:12 |
| ola2 | it gave me error | 08:12 |
| Dr_Willis | apb: its 'OWN' cloud | 08:12 |
| ola2 | let me paste it | 08:12 |
| FloodBot1 | ola2: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:12 |
| apb | Dr_Willis: I don't want to have to worry about hardware dying... like what just happened to me. Why do I need them to use my own server for backup? | 08:13 |
| Dr_Willis | apb: you can have it on your own vps. or whatever..or on your own raspberry pi.. or on a dozen differnt pcs if you wanted. | 08:13 |
| Dr_Willis | apb: its totally under your control. | 08:13 |
| Dr_Willis | or for your own business. | 08:14 |
| xmetal | i still dont get the idea of people uploading drive images to the "cloud" then if hardware fails they have no way to get to it | 08:14 |
| xmetal | sure "off site" backups are a good idea | 08:15 |
| xmetal | but you have to "plan ahead" | 08:15 |
| apb | Dr_Willis: Pointless to me. I want a service that has multiple servers and backs up my data so that I don't have to spend all kinds of money (that I don't have) on servers that will then die at some point. I might as well just backup to a USB stick or an SSD | 08:15 |
| xmetal | actually "hardware fails" is not a good way to put it | 08:15 |
| xmetal | thats not what i meant | 08:15 |
| xmetal | too tired to think at the moment, lol | 08:15 |
| Dr_Willis | xmetal: yep | 08:16 |
| matosimi | hi, could you help me how to copy long lines from nano trough putty ? script lines are wider than max size of my screen | 08:16 |
| apb | xmetal: an image is good if you want to save the state of a disk and then restore to a different machine. But that's not what I'm saving... i'm saving data I need. Documents and software I've purchased in years gone by that I can't get again without paying more money (if even available). | 08:17 |
| apb | The documents are irreplaceable. If I lose them, that's it. | 08:18 |
| Dr_Willis | 100 copies.. mailed to lawyers around the world... | 08:18 |
| xmetal | speaking of drive images, i probably should make a few soon ... its been a little while | 08:18 |
| AtuM | apb, so what are you searching for again? Wouldn't dropbox be the sollution for you if you don't want your own server? | 08:18 |
| apb | so I backup to "the cloud" and they backup to something that I can't afford | 08:19 |
| Dr_Willis | use every cloud server in esistance. :) | 08:19 |
| xmetal | brb | 08:19 |
| HypnotiX | I cant access my apache server in my virtualbox since the 13.10 update, any ideas on how to fix this ? | 08:19 |
| apb | all it takes is money.. that I don't have. | 08:19 |
| apb | So 15GB free is the best I've been able to find. | 08:19 |
| AtuM | apb, it's like.. either you can afford to lose data or you can afford to pay for some service that takes car of it | 08:19 |
| Dr_Willis | err.. i got 50gb free from someone | 08:20 |
| apb | Actually 20GB, since I used a referral link. | 08:20 |
| HypnotiX | or anyone else from work connected to my network cant access my apache server page either | 08:20 |
| Dr_Willis | and you can have several dozen free acounts at mos tof these places | 08:20 |
| apb | Dr_Willis: Do tell | 08:20 |
| ansu | what's the easiest way to configure an ubuntu server to use a smtp to send mails. e.g. apticron has to be able to send emails | 08:20 |
| Dr_Willis | i dont recall who it was. Might been a new/short time offer. | 08:20 |
| apb | multiple accounts may be possible, I haven't tried. So far I'm just working on the one. | 08:20 |
| AtuM | Dr_Willis, I got 50GB on dropbox from Samsung :) | 08:21 |
| Dr_Willis | i got like 9 differnt cloud storages... box = 50gb | 08:21 |
| Dr_Willis | google drive = 25gb here | 08:21 |
| apb | 9 total = 50 GB? | 08:21 |
| moppy | there's some nice apps that sync up all of your free clouds into one "cloud raid" | 08:21 |
| AtuM | apb, If you can afford to buy Galaxs S4 then Samsung gives you 50GB dropbox space for a year | 08:21 |
| Dr_Willis | box = is 50gb here for me | 08:21 |
| apb | moppy: Interesting... which apps? | 08:21 |
| apb | AtuM: I can't afford. | 08:21 |
| Dr_Willis | then i got 25gb on google drive | 08:21 |
| Dr_Willis | dropbox i got 10gb. | 08:22 |
| apb | and a year kinda sucks... I don't want to have to scurry around worrying about it | 08:22 |
| Dr_Willis | i recall some free cloud service that had unlimited storage. ;) i forget its name, | 08:22 |
| Dr_Willis | bitcasa perhaps? | 08:22 |
| AtuM | Dr_Willis, google drive isn't quit what i'd use as a real backup.. no "free" solution is, since they're not obligated to backup your data.. so anything "free" is not real backup for me | 08:23 |
| apb | there are cloud services that claim unlimited storage... but not free. | 08:23 |
| AtuM | apb, nothing is free | 08:23 |
| Dr_Willis | look on lifehacker web site for cloud storage. they mentioned several - one i recall had a HUGE amount of space | 08:23 |
| moppy | apb: Jolicloud does it, many others via google | 08:23 |
| Dr_Willis | and the only sure backup - is backups YOU make | 08:23 |
| apb | AtuM: the cloud I use is free up to a certain limit. | 08:24 |
| AtuM | Dr_Willis, exactly my point | 08:24 |
| Dr_Willis | bitcasa calls it an infinate drive | 08:24 |
| AtuM | apb, do they give you assurance that it will work 24/7 and never lose your data... for free? I don't think so. | 08:24 |
| apb | I checked out 25 services... I chose the one that made the most sense to me | 08:24 |
| reisio | apb: that's terribly sensible | 08:24 |
| Dr_Willis | this is sort of getting to be a pointless discussion i think | 08:25 |
| apb | jolicloud was not on my list... bitcasa was | 08:25 |
| AtuM | It makes me want to say "backup to /dev/null" as it's the same on the long run | 08:25 |

| Dr_Willis | Uriel_: and what have you done so far to get it working? | 08:28 |
| apb | Dr_Willis: spideroak and bitcasa were on the list... the others weren't | 08:29 |
| Dr_Willis | i got them all from lifehacker apb | 08:29 |
| Uriel_ | Dr. Willis:i have searched on internet, i cant find drivers for it . | 08:29 |
| Dr_Willis | they had an artical on what cloud guys are the most anonymous/secure | 08:29 |
| apb | well, after 25 services... I figured I'd checked enough | 08:29 |
| Uriel_ | i installed some software none of tehm works | 08:29 |
| apb | I mean there's a limit. | 08:29 |

| Bauer | Ben64 well its not that, I cant do apt-get ugprade as well, I get those weird errors | 08:32 |
| apb | AtuM: Read back. I don't have a problem. Someone asked me a question. I responded. | 08:32 |

| Bauer | Ben64: well, I left it to upgrade at the night, by the morning I came to pc, and I wasnt logged in, I dont know what happened | 08:52 |
| Hawkerz | Bauer, -f fixes broken dependencies, you should most definitely try that | 08:53 |
| Bauer | ok, to try that on the upgrade command? or the dist-upgrade | 08:54 |
| wylde | Bauer, 'sudo apt-get -f install' | 08:54 |

| jonovee | k1l: thanks but that's not what i am looking for. i just want to know if security updates are done yes or no | 08:58 |
| wylde | Bauer, no idea. Did you customize the old one? If no then I'd say yes to letting install the new one | 08:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Bauer: id say use defaults.. unless you know you have changed that file. | 08:59 |
| wylde | Bauer, but, that's what I woulod do :) | 08:59 |
| Bauer | I dont remember modfying that file manually | 08:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Bauer: have it show the differances? ;) may just be a trivial comment/change | 09:00 |
| Dr_Willis | not like it matters much i imagine | 09:00 |
| Bauer | yeah, not familiar with the changes like -NoDisplay=false to true | 09:01 |
| * wylde thinks there's a better chance of success letting the new version be installed and redoing customizations anyway. | 09:01 | |
| Bauer | agreed, continuing :) | 09:01 |
| wylde | since we all make backups of important data and configuration file anyway ..... right? ;) | 09:02 |
| Cuppa_coffee | yeah right | 09:02 |
| Bauer | ok, its done :) what to run to see if its a success? | 09:02 |
| Dr_Willis | i doubt if that file would be imporntant anyway ;) | 09:02 |
| Hawkerz | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 09:02 |
| Hawkerz | see if it finds anything | 09:02 |
| Cuppa_coffee | i had to cp my home to an external hd because the update from 13.04 to 13.10 crashed | 09:02 |
| jonovee | how do i know if all security updates (just security updates) have been done? maybe if i could check if a recent precise-security update has been done that would answer my question. | 09:03 |
| Hawkerz | jonovee, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 09:03 |
| wylde | Cuppa_coffee, that should be done before the upgrade anyway. | 09:03 |
| Hawkerz | that will make sure they are installed... | 09:03 |
| jonovee | what is the most recent precise-security update and how do i check if it has been done ? | 09:03 |
| Cuppa_coffee | wylde, jesus saves, buddha makes incremental backups and im an atheist :P | 09:04 |

| FloodBot1 | Bauer: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:04 |
| Hawkerz | jonovee, ^ that command will not actually do the upgrade, only tell you if there is anything to upgrade | 09:04 |
| Bauer | Hawkerz: that output was for dist-upgrade, not for -s upgrade | 09:05 |
| Hawkerz | just use -s | 09:05 |
| Hawkerz | Bauer, don't do -s upgrade, it won't actually upgrade anything | 09:05 |
| Hawkerz | -s only simulates an upgrade in case you only want to know what would be installed | 09:05 |
| Hawkerz | Bauer, it sounds like you are on the right track now though | 09:05 |
| Bauer | Hawkerz: I see.. well you want the output? or what? | 09:05 |
| k1l | jonovee: the security updates come as regular updates | 09:06 |
| Hawkerz | Bauer, no thanks | 09:06 |
| Bauer | I am hestitant, why does it say 22.4GB space will be freed? :O | 09:06 |
| Bauer | what does it plan to remove? the whole system? :D | 09:06 |
| jonovee | Hawkerz: having bit of difficulty following all, so what do i type exactly in terminal? | 09:06 |
| Hawkerz | Bauer, as long as it's not reporting any errors you should proceed -- the 22.4GB are cached package files form the release upgrade | 09:07 |
| === Owner is now known as Guest56860 | ||
| Hawkerz | jonovee, as kil mentioned, you automatically get security updates, but if you really want to see whether you have anything to upgrade on your system, you can "sudo apt-get -s upgrade" | 09:07 |
| Hawkerz | and that will not actually upgrade anything | 09:07 |

| gartral | Hawkerz: 12.04 | 09:09 |
| Hawkerz | Bauer, no problem. It can be hard to navigate failed release upgrades | 09:09 |
| Hawkerz | gartal: you were having display issues? no window borders and such? | 09:10 |
| Bauer | yup, but I learned not to fear -f :) I thought its the same as --force hehe | 09:10 |
| gartral | Hawkerz: no window borders when windows are maximized, with firefox having none at all | 09:10 |
| Hawkerz | gartral, ps aux | grep -e 'compiz|metacity' | 09:11 |
| jonovee | Hawkerz: so if i understood correctly that simulates the updates without doing them. but how do i know which are security updates? the yes or no answer i am looking for is HAVE ALL PRECISE-SECURITY UPDATES BEEN DONE ON THIS MACHINE? i already know other updates have not been done. i am only interested in finding out about security updates. | 09:11 |
| jonovee | Hawkerz: please have patience, i am a beginner :) | 09:11 |

| Hawkerz | jonovee, no problem -- I don't understand why you don't want to do upgrades? or why you don't think you have security udates? | 09:12 |
| wylde | jonovee, http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/ ? | 09:12 |
| Hawkerz | gartral, did you put quotes around 'compiz|metacity' ? | 09:13 |
| Hawkerz | and did you put a \ in front of the |? | 09:13 |
| Hawkerz | it won't work unless you do both | 09:13 |
| k1l | jonovee: as a beginner you should not thinking about seperating security updates from other updates | 09:14 |
| jonovee | Hawkerz: if my understanding is correct, to be safe one must be always up-to-date with security updates. other updates are not as important. i have a machine that was set to do them automatically i think. i just want to know if that worked out or not | 09:14 |
| k1l | jonovee: ubuntu puts the security updates into the regular updates. so to seperate that into security and not security updates is not trivial | 09:15 |
| Hawkerz | and also not entirely logical -- why is it that you do not want standard updates? | 09:15 |
| jonovee | k1l: you mean it's difficult to find out? | 09:15 |
| k1l | gartral: you have the drivers for your video card installed (which one) and running? | 09:15 |
| gartral | k1l: intel intergrated and yes, as those are in kernel | 09:16 |
| k1l | jonovee: i suggest you make sure to have all updates installed. to seperate into security and not security is not that easy and it doesnt bring the result you are looking for | 09:16 |
| Hawkerz | gartral, did you put quotes around 'compiz|metacity' ? and did yo uput a \ in front of the | ? | 09:16 |
| k1l | gartral: ok. | 09:16 |
| Dr_Willis | arent most updates to the standard packages security updates? | 09:16 |
| Hawkerz | gartral, the command is exactly as I type it: ps aux | grep -e 'compiz\|metacity' | 09:16 |
| Dr_Willis | !latest | 09:17 |
| ubottu | Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 09:17 |
| gartral | Hawkerz: ahh, it reports as metacirty | 09:17 |
| gartral | metacity* | 09:17 |
| Dr_Willis | ive rarely seen 'high impact bug fixs, or substantial benifit fixs' ;) | 09:17 |
| k1l | Dr_Willis: yes, in most cases that is the point | 09:17 |
| Hawkerz | gartral, try running 'compiz --replace' | 09:17 |
| jonovee | Hawkerz: i want them, but not at this time. another person does not want me to them now, dont know why. but i think this is offtopic from my question, is it not? | 09:18 |

| Hawkerz | gartral, sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 09:19 |
| jonovee | Hawkerz: i mean do we really need to do all updates to answer my question? | 09:19 |
| jonovee | Hawkerz: i thought the easy way to answer is to check whether a recent security update was done or not. just dont know how to do it | 09:20 |
| Hawkerz | gartral, and then: lspci -vvnn | grep -i vga | 09:20 |
| k1l | jonovee: again: there are bundeld updates with security patches inbetween | 09:20 |
| k1l | jonovee: please bring the reason not to make updates at all, first. | 09:20 |
| Hawkerz | jonovee, the way ubuntu updates occur is through repositories. One (or several) of the software repositories your system checks for new software would be responsible for security updates | 09:21 |
| Hawkerz | jonovee, often it is more than one repository, and sometimes security updates come from multiple repositories which might also deliver regular system & software updates | 09:21 |
| jonovee | k1l: dont know the reason, i guess he's working on something important and does not want any changes done to the computer or something like that, but still dont understand why this reason is so important | 09:22 |
| Hawkerz | jonovee, so when you do updates, you get all of those (and you should, and in fact often security updates could pull in updates to other pieces of software from different repositories) | 09:22 |
| k1l | jonovee: because your "problem" is not a problem at all. you are mmaking it to a problem. | 09:22 |
| Hawkerz | I can conceive of no possible reason to avoid running standard updates | 09:22 |
| k1l | jonovee: its like you want a car without a reverse gear. its not common | 09:23 |
| wylde | run the simulation, see what will be updated then go look at all the changelogs for each package to determine which were security updates heh...easy >.> | 09:23 |
| jonovee | k1l: mine is a question, let's call it a question | 09:23 |
| gartral | Hawkerz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6287949/ | 09:24 |
| k1l | jonovee: the answer ist still the same: its not supposed to seperate | 09:24 |
| Hawkerz | gartral, it looks like your video card might be overheating... | 09:25 |
| jonovee | k1l: the question is a YES or NO question. HAVE ALL SECURITY UPDATES BEEN DONE? | 09:25 |
| k1l | jonovee: also i think you are mixing apt-get update, apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade | 09:25 |
| ikonia | jonovee: stop typing in caps - and try to understand what people are saying | 09:25 |
| k1l | jonovee: no need for caps. | 09:25 |
| Hawkerz | jonovee, I told you which command to run to see if the updates occurred and not actually do any of them. | 09:25 |
| jonovee | are caps bad? dont understand... | 09:25 |
| Hawkerz | jonovee, you refused to run that command, so there isn't much else I can do for you. | 09:25 |
| gartral | Hawkerz: but that doesn't explainwhy this is happening right after initial boot and log in | 09:25 |
| ikonia | jonovee: security updates are packages just like updates, so common sense would be to keep them in sync, that way if your machine is up to date, you know it's up to date with the lastest stable and security updates | 09:25 |
| k1l | jonovee: the answer is: if running "sudo apt-get update &&sudo apt-get upgrade" reports no new updates: yes | 09:25 |
| Hawkerz | gartral, need dmesg output for that | 09:26 |
| wylde | jonovee, I don't know if it will have the information you want but you could look through /var/log/apt/history.log I suppose | 09:26 |
| jonovee | Hawkerz: sorry, which command? i am getting lost here... | 09:26 |
| Hawkerz | jonovee, "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -s upgrade" | 09:26 |
| ikonia | jonovee: does sudo apt-get upgrade show any updates available ? | 09:26 |
| Hawkerz | this will not do any upgrades on your system, it will only simulate the process and tell you if you are missing anything | 09:26 |
| jonovee | k1l: there are plenty of updates that still need to be done, but maybe none are security updates | 09:27 |
| gartral | Hawkerz: wait up, I'll reboot and get you that | 09:27 |
| k1l | jonovee: drop that "seperating into security updates". that is not supposed to be seperated | 09:27 |
| Dr_Willis | most updates i thought are security updates. | 09:27 |
| Hawkerz | gardar, wait | 09:27 |
| Hawkerz | ahhh | 09:27 |
| Dr_Willis | unless you got ppa's or other repos with extra packages | 09:28 |
| k1l | jonovee: so if it tells: "some updates to do" the answer is no, you dont have all security updates | 09:28 |
| Hawkerz | jonovee, when you do normal upgrades with normal ubuntu without adding extra repositories, you are getting primarily security updates | 09:28 |
| Hawkerz | jonovee, if you want more help from us, you need to show us the output of "sudo apt-get -s upgrade" | 09:28 |
| Hawkerz | !pastebin | jonovee | 09:28 |
| ubottu | jonovee: 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. | 09:28 |
| Hawkerz | ^ put it in there | 09:29 |
| k1l | jonovee: you are requesting us to tell you its normal to have a car without reverse gear. we will not do that. | 09:29 |
| jonovee | ok be back soon | 09:30 |
| Hawkerz | gartral, dmesg | pastebinit | 09:31 |
| k1l | seeing http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/ even a apt-get upgrade doesnt seem to be enough since ou need new kernels, too | 09:31 |
| * wylde nods | 09:32 | |
| gartral | Hawkerz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6287993/ | 09:32 |
| Hawkerz | i don't remember the last time I did updates without doing distribution upgrades | 09:33 |
| Dr_Willis | i always do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade also. ;) habbits from testing the beta releases | 09:33 |
| Hawkerz | gartral, [ 39.008377] init: gdm main process (1066) killed by TERM signal | 09:34 |
| jpds | k1l: Yeah, you need to do 'dist-upgrade' as a new kernel means new packages. | 09:34 |
| gartral | Hawkerz: right, using lightdm | 09:34 |
| Hawkerz | oh right | 09:34 |
| k1l | jpds: yep. i didnt think in the discussion with the user, that even kernel packages are security updates | 09:34 |
| Hawkerz | gartral, that wasn't the full output of dmesg though | 09:35 |
| Hawkerz | that or you didn't pipe it into pastebinit | 09:35 |
| Dr_Willis | from what im reading at askubuntu.com packages from 'main' and 'restricted' are defined as security updates | 09:35 |
| gartral | Hawkerz: ok, standby | 09:35 |
| Hawkerz | did you catch before that pastebinit is a script you can install with apt-get install ? | 09:35 |
| Dr_Willis | http://askubuntu.com/questions/119274/does-ubuntu-generally-post-timely-security-updates | 09:35 |
| Hawkerz | and then from the terminal you can actually pipe the output of dmesg into it: "dmesg | pastebinit" | 09:36 |
| gartral | Hawkerz: I'm well versed in the usage of pastebinit and the pipe char | 09:36 |
| gartral | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6288012/ | 09:36 |
| Hawkerz | gartral, are you running this on a netbook? | 09:37 |
| Hawkerz | yes you are | 09:38 |
| gartral | Hawkerz: indeed | 09:38 |
| Hawkerz | is this a dell mini 10? | 09:38 |
| Psil0Cybin | hey guys quick question i know this is alittle offtopic, but anyone here use truecrypt? | 09:40 |
| reisio | Psil0Cybin: someone probably does | 09:41 |
| reisio | next question | 09:41 |
| gartral | Hawkerz: negative, Acer AOD250 | 09:41 |
| Hawkerz | gartral, what are your kernel boot parameters? | 09:41 |
| Hawkerz | gartral, cat /proc/cmdline | 09:42 |

| Hawkerz | ok | 09:43 |
| Jpmh | in my /dev/shm directory there are a number of LARGE files named: pulse-shm-nnnnn (where nnnn is a sequence of numbers). What are these files? | 09:43 |
| ikonia | Jpmh: you shouldn't be interacting with /dev/shm | 09:44 |
| Jpmh | Psil0Cybin: yes - I have used it extensively - probably off topic this | 09:44 |
| Jpmh | ikonia: I have never even considered it - but decided to see what was there - and saw these - is it really memory resident too? | 09:45 |
| gartral | Hawkerz: Ideas? | 09:45 |
| Hawkerz | gartral, what about dpkg -l | grep zram | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Jpmh: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 09:46 |

| k1l | jonovee: you need to close other programs like softwraecenter or update-manager | 09:48 |
| Hawkerz | jonovee, you need to close synaptic, or whatever application is currently controlling your system's package manager (software center, synaptic, updater) | 09:48 |
| Hawkerz | jonovee, please do not come in here and be accusatory | 09:49 |

| Jpmh | ActionParsnip: also - TY - that bug report looks VERY interesting - | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Jpmh: check comment #4 | 09:49 |

| ActionParsnip | Jpmh: have you not seen these pages? I'm searching the same Internet you have access to? | 09:50 |
| Ben64 | jonovee: just do all the updates, you're making a problem where there isn't one | 09:50 |
| k1l | jonovee: ok. so see: http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/ read into the topic of updates and how they are managed on ubuntu. | 09:50 |
| k1l | jonovee: if you dont like the answer that is given, dont blame us | 09:50 |

| ventura | i've tried building from scratch, but the bug remains | 09:52 |
| wylde | ventura, have a bug number to go with that? Well unless you fixed the bug before building of course it's still there. | 09:53 |

| Hawkerz | gartral, are you trying to run full ubuntu desktop on your netbook? | 09:56 |
| Hawkerz | if you logout/login and try to switch between desktop environments, do you default to unity 2d or regular unity? | 09:57 |
| k1l | jonovee: (again, you demand a not-beginner task) there are the security updates listed on that site. so you can search for the packges that are used. so you can manually look | 09:57 |
| stetho | Hi all. I'm looking at using kickstart and I've come up against something I can't find an answer for. I have a number of servers with different specs. Every example kickstart I've found only has the option "part swap --size 1024" - that is, you can only specify an *exact* amount of swap. During an interactive install this is automatically calculated. Is there a way to do this in a kickstart? | 09:57 |
| jackfinn | stetho: please calm down. | 09:58 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Guys, in order to format Ubuntu as the only operating system on a notebook, should there be two partitions or just one? | 09:58 |

| H1FuelCell | I've installed Self Control app, however, it does not block on Chrome | 09:59 |
| jonovee | k1l: ok thanks. what do i type in terminal then to see if i have a specific one installed or not? | 09:59 |
| H1FuelCell | I don't have a proxy configured | 09:59 |
| H1FuelCell | Chrome settings tell me "Using system proxy", and there is none on the system | 09:59 |
| amritanshu_RnD | if i have configured network interfaces file | 09:59 |
| k1l | jonovee: see dpkg, apt-get and apt-cache | 09:59 |
| H1FuelCell | It blocks Firefox | 10:00 |

| Hawkerz | hmm | 10:07 |
| ActionParsnip | meet_praveen: gksudo, sorry | 10:07 |
| lesshaste | k1l, but it is interesting if zram really does help low memory machines | 10:07 |
| k1l | lesshaste: i was just pointing at the zram part. and keep in mind, that this channel is not made for ranting | 10:07 |
| ActionParsnip | meet_praveen: in KDE use kdesu | 10:07 |
| jonovee | Hawkerz: i had no intention of not being nice before, did you understand? my english is not perfect. but you see k1l and i talk friendly no problem. will you speak me? | 10:07 |
| lesshaste | k1l, :) | 10:07 |
| meet_praveen | ActionParsnip: thanks :) | 10:07 |
| k1l | lesshaste: zram is used on alot of android devices | 10:07 |
| lesshaste | k1l, I didn't know that | 10:08 |
| Hawkerz | gartral, and is unity running? | 10:08 |
| Hawkerz | or is it unity2d | 10:08 |
| Jpmh | ActionParsnip: how does that tell me that it is REALLY memory | 10:08 |
| k1l | lesshaste: i think you do some reserach on zram. maybe you will understand why they added it as default | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Jpmh: its tmpfs right? | 10:08 |
| lesshaste | k1l, maybe | 10:08 |
| lesshaste | k1l, I'll take a look... thanks | 10:08 |
| Jpmh | ActionParsnip: yes, it is tmpfs | 10:10 |
| gartral | Hawkerz: negative, Unity is disabled on this machine because it's performance is.. horrible | 10:10 |
| Hawkerz | oh | 10:11 |
| Hawkerz | you should use unity2d | 10:11 |
| Hawkerz | that will probably solve all your problems | 10:11 |
| Hawkerz | no wonder compiz didn't fix anything | 10:11 |
| Hawkerz | lol | 10:11 |

| cousteau | I read something about Ubuntu having considered to change the default browser from Firefox to Chromium (which doesn't seem to have happened at the end), is this still being considered? | 10:14 |
| gartral | Hawkerz: back | 10:14 |
| cousteau | (because I really like Firefox) | 10:15 |
| gartral | cousteau: not to my knowledge | 10:15 |
| wylde | cousteau, even if they did you can install it anyway ;) | 10:15 |
| gartral | cousteau: even if it is, you always have the option of installing firefox and using it | 10:15 |
| Hawkerz | gartral, this is a resolvable problem ofc, I used to run ubuntu on my dell netbook | 10:16 |
| Hawkerz | was it working at some point recently? | 10:16 |
| gartral | Hawkerz: ofc it is, but how? | 10:16 |
| Hawkerz | has it ever worked properly? | 10:16 |
| gartral | Hawkerz: not since the jump from 11.10 to 12.04 | 10:16 |
| cousteau | hm, I once had an idea of an Ubuntu installer that just asked you what you want (in a friendly interface) | 10:17 |
| meet_praveen | how can i set default permission for all /var directory and its files ? | 10:17 |
| CatKiller | meet_praveen: Probably a bad idea, but look at chmod -R | 10:17 |
| cousteau | like "What desktop style do you want? (Unity/Gnome3/Classic/sKDE/LXDE/XFCE) Are these default programs OK or do you want others? Any extra thing you'd like to install?" | 10:18 |
| gartral | meet_praveen: first check your permissions.. ls -lagst | 10:18 |
| gartral | Hawkerz: would purging gnome-shell and reinstalling after a reboot fix the issue? | 10:19 |
| AtuM | meet_praveen, try not to put space between the "/" and "var" :D | 10:19 |
| spydon | Is the australian repo mirrors down? I get W: Failed to fetch ... URL ... 503 Service unavailable | 10:21 |
| meet_praveen | CatKiller: gartral AtuM ......this is th result of command........http://pastie.org/8423613 | 10:21 |
| spydon | When doing apt-get update | 10:21 |
| cousteau | spydon, try to access them via a browser | 10:21 |
| Hawkerz | gartral, probably not, you should really try loading up unity 2d | 10:22 |
| CatKiller | meet_praveen: Well it's not the results of chmod for sure :p | 10:22 |
| Hawkerz | i suspect you can't run gnome shell in that thing, but you can tell me that actually | 10:22 |
| meet_praveen | someone messed up my systems permission so i am stuck....... | 10:22 |
| cousteau | http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ right? seems to respond to ping | 10:23 |
| CatKiller | meet_praveen: Maybe reinstall | 10:23 |
| CatKiller | might be faster | 10:23 |
| CatKiller | And you probably only need to backup your home folder | 10:23 |
| gartral | Hawkerz: I'll.. try, my mom won't be happy | 10:23 |
| Hawkerz | meet_praveen, are you doing anything important with your machine? are you getting errors now? | 10:23 |
| CatKiller | Also you can keep track of the installed packages | 10:23 |
| Hawkerz | gartral, well hang on | 10:23 |
| Hawkerz | don't do anything yet :p | 10:23 |
| * cousteau thinks that the Ubuntu updater should fall back to the "central repositories" if the local ones don't work | 10:23 | |
| gartral | Hawkerz: awaiting further direction | 10:24 |
| Hawkerz | not to mention you don't have to get rid of gnome shell anyway, it's a session setting when you login | 10:24 |
| Rickky | Hey guys, New Relic is giving me alerts that /boot is >95% full. Is that a problem? | 10:24 |

| Hawkerz | you just click on the little circle icon and you can swap between different desktop environments and stuff | 10:24 |
| CatKiller | Rickky: Whenever you update Ubuntu and a new kernel image is available, it gets copied there. Old ones are not removed (so you can keep booting on them in GRUB2) | 10:24 |
| cousteau | maybe it could be made that sources.list allowed options like `deb http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/;http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted | 10:25 |
| meet_praveen | Hawkerz: main problem is with postgresql.........i am unable to start postgresql server | 10:25 |
| gartral | Hawkerz: I know that | 10:25 |
| CatKiller | Rickky: But obviously that means /boot (if not on the default root partition) will fill up. | 10:25 |
| CatKiller | Rickky: You could delete older kernels from there | 10:25 |
| CatKiller | Rickky: See http://askubuntu.com/questions/315429/server-boot-partition-is-filling-up-can-i-apt-get-remove-images-inbetween-the | 10:25 |
| CatKiller | which by the way was found by googling "boot partition filling up" | 10:26 |
| cousteau | it'd be nice if Ubuntu removed old kernels automatically (always keeping the last N and first K ones) | 10:26 |
| CatKiller | That's very true | 10:26 |
| Rickky | CatKiller: Ah that looks like a good one, thanks for that | 10:26 |
| cousteau | N=3 and K=1 or 2 sounds like a good idea | 10:26 |
| Rickky | cousteau: +1 for that | 10:26 |
| CatKiller | cousteau: Actually funny thing, if you type "Ubuntu automatically" in Google, autocomplete thinks of "remove old kernels" | 10:27 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest61634 | ||
| cousteau | that way you can still boot with older kernels if newer ones get installed (even if something was already broken and you didn't notice, you still have a 3rd kernel backup) | 10:28 |
| cousteau | and if everything gets messed up, you still have the original one, and maybe the one that got installed after the 1st update | 10:28 |
| spydon | cousteau: says down for maintenance, never seen that with a repo before... | 10:28 |
| CatKiller | Although I think these days the installer puts /boot in the root partition | 10:29 |
| CatKiller | so this is not really an issue anymore | 10:29 |
| CatKiller | it just "dirties" the grub menu quite a bit | 10:29 |
| gugaua | Hello, I am setting up Postix and cyrus-imapd, for cyrus auth I use AUXPROP with SASLDB plugin, Now I am tying to connect with Thunderbird but it says username or password is wrong but I can´t see in log that cyrus was even trying to aith me can somone help me out? | 10:29 |
| cousteau | spydon, that probably means the server is down for maintenance... I don't think there were many things to do | 10:29 |
| Hawkerz | gartral, I'm getting the last set of commands together for you | 10:29 |
| Hawkerz | so that you dont' have to keep doing random shit as I think of it | 10:29 |
| spydon | cousteau: yeah, thank you! | 10:29 |
| cousteau | although in those cases they could just redirect au.archive.ubuntu.com to archive.ubuntu.com temporarily | 10:29 |
| spydon | cousteau: exactly, maybe I can change temporarily on the repo file? | 10:30 |
| cousteau | I mean, it's not like there are no mirrors for au.archive.ubuntu.com (like, all of the other mirrors) | 10:30 |
| cousteau | spydon, yeah, in "Software sources" | 10:30 |
| ventura | wylde: not at all. i also found a comment suggesting to install icecc-1.0.0 package from debian, but the error persisted | 10:30 |
| spydon | cousteau: what's that file called again? | 10:30 |
| Rickky | CatKiller: Yeah purging those unused ones really quickly gives me back my /boot space, thanks! | 10:31 |
| spydon | cousteau: nvm, found it! | 10:32 |
| wylde | ventura, I don't know if I'd just install the debian package. I would have suggested the 1.0.0 source, build then install with checkinstall. I read that a couple bugs were fixed upstream in debian unstable. | 10:32 |
| cousteau | spydon, there's a graphical way to do that. Go to the software center, Edit > Software sources | 10:32 |
| CatKiller | Rickky: No prob | 10:32 |
| spydon | cousteau: I don't have a full DE | 10:32 |
| cousteau | better than manually modifying sources.list | 10:32 |
| cousteau | oh, then yeah, modify sources.list | 10:32 |
| diverdude | i have installed vsftpd using this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/ftp-server.html but when i try to connect to the server via ftp it says that it cannot establish connection...what could be the problem? | 10:33 |
| Rickky | CatKiller: It's funny though, uname -r gives me x.x.x-37 and of course there are lower 36 and 34, but also 40, 41 and 42 are already there | 10:33 |
| wylde | ventura, unfortunately that's the best I have on the matter. Perhaps someone else may have better suggestions. | 10:33 |
| gartral | Hawkerz: appreciated | 10:33 |
| CatKiller | Rickky: These are not the versions, but the subversions. So 3.10.1-37 is higher than 3.10.0-40 | 10:34 |
| diverdude | i can log on to the server via ssh and i can ping it also | 10:34 |
| diverdude | and i have restarted the ftp service | 10:34 |
| diverdude | im running 13.04 | 10:35 |
| Rickky | CatKiller: That makes sense, but 3.5.0-37 is lower than 3.5.0-42 I assume? | 10:35 |
| CatKiller | Rickky: Yes | 10:35 |
| Rickky | CatKiller: Yeah so besides having older kernels, there are also, unused, newer ones in /boot | 10:35 |
| CatKiller | Rickky: Then it's strange. what's your full uname -a? | 10:35 |
| ventura | wylde: thx! if i don't come with a solution in the next hours, i will have to downgrade to 12.04.3 | 10:35 |

| wylde | ventura, sorry I couldn't be of more help. Best of luck finding a fix though :) | 10:36 |
| CatKiller | it uses apt to remove them | 10:36 |
| CatKiller | cleaner | 10:36 |
| lapion | hello | 10:36 |
| CatKiller | also removes them from the boot menu | 10:36 |

| CatKiller | sorry -40 | 10:37 |
| Rickky | CatKiller: Euhw yeah already apt-get purged them now | 10:37 |

| Rickky | I think this might also be because it's a 12.04 machine with repo's set to I believe 13.04 | 10:37 |
| Hawkerz | gartral, do you have /etc/X11/xorg.conf? | 10:37 |
| CatKiller | ahh ok :) Odd | 10:37 |
| Rickky | CatKiller: I recall something that it needed something from the newer repo's that wasn't in the own 12.04 repo, but the machine never actuallu upgraded to 13.04. | 10:38 |
| Rickky | CatKiller: So it has like 234 updates waiting to be done, because apt things everything is outdatred | 10:38 |
| gartral | Hawkerz: negative | 10:38 |

| Ben64 | Gregor_: ssh | 11:44 |
| Gregor_ | ssh? | 11:44 |
| Ben64 | !ssh | Gregor_ | 11:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Gregor_: to do what though?? This is my question? | 11:44 |
| ubottu | Gregor_: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 11:44 |
| lukecarrier | Hi all, how're people finding the upgrade to Saucy? | 11:44 |
| Ben64 | mastroWork: raring? | 11:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Gregor_: lets suppose you get connected and can see the desktop, what are you going to do on the remote system> | 11:44 |
| rajat | hey , there is a bug in ubuntu 13.04 that doesn't allow the netbeans to start . anyone knowledgable about it (with openjdk 6 ) | 11:44 |
| mastroWork | Ben64, I upgraded libc from 2.17-0ubuntu5, 2.17-0ubuntu5.1 -- no other file have been upgraded so why should it remove them? | 11:44 |
| AndroUser | Startx doesn'h fail, but it is Just black | 11:44 |
| gordonjcp | Gregor_: use ssh | 11:45 |
| AndroUser | Saucy broke my work cowputer..... | 11:45 |
| gordonjcp | Gregor_: servers don't have graphical desktops | 11:45 |
| k1l | AndroUser: dont use startx | 11:45 |
| lukecarrier | Looks like some of my PPAs have caused it bomb out | 11:45 |
| k1l | AndroUser: start the desktop with "sudo service lightdm start" | 11:45 |
| Gregor_ | Lol | 11:45 |
| Ben64 | mastroWork: you may be able to select the older version from synaptic | 11:45 |
| AndroUser | K11, same thing | 11:45 |
| AndroUser | Black | 11:45 |
| Gregor_ | and for remoting a pc with graphical desktop? | 11:45 |
| AndroUser | Oh wait | 11:46 |
| k1l | AndroUser: then see the logs. like .xsession-errors in /home | 11:46 |
| AndroUser | K11, it says failed to start | 11:46 |
| Ben64 | Gregor_: vnc over ssh | 11:46 |
| gordonjcp | Gregor_: no idea, it's not something I've ever felt the need to do | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Gregor_: but to what end? There may be a sleeker way than steaming the whole desktop. This is what I am saying to you | 11:46 |
| Ben64 | but yeah, you should never need to have a gui on a server | 11:46 |
| puguh | sorrii | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Gregor_: if you can give me examples of activities you plan to do. I may be able to advise | 11:46 |
| binyod | hello everyone, is there a tool on ubuntu to convert .flv video files into audio? | 11:46 |
| binyod | possibly .mp3 | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Gregor_: are you wanting to see the desktop to run updates? | 11:46 |
| cfhowlett | binyod, ffmpeg will do it | 11:47 |
| Ben64 | binyod: ffmpeg, mencoder, mplayer | 11:47 |
| === xubuntu is now known as Guest25922 | ||
| Gregor_ | i only want to remote the desktop | 11:47 |
| ActionParsnip | binyod: are the flv's downloaded from youtube by any chance? | 11:47 |
| Gregor_ | like with teamviewer | 11:47 |
| AndroUser | K11, the xsesion errocs say software acceleration check failed | 11:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Gregor_: but why? | 11:47 |
| gordonjcp | binyod: play it back with mplayer, set video output to null and audio output to wave, or pcm (can't remember which) | 11:47 |
| Gregor_ | but i think teamviewer isnt good | 11:47 |
| k1l | AndroUser: which video card and what driver do you got? | 11:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Gregor_: why do you want the desktop? | 11:48 |
| mastroWork | Ben64, ok it forced me to also downgrade libc6:i386 | 11:48 |
| binyod | cfhowlett, thank you! will install and try them now | 11:48 |
| binyod | Ben64, thank you! | 11:48 |
| AndroUser | I'm using the intel hd 3000, don't know how to check driver k11 | 11:48 |
| binyod | ActionParsnip, yes! | 11:48 |
| Gregor_ | because im a noob and dont know tty or telnet commands | 11:48 |
| ActionParsnip | binyod: then you are wasting time | 11:48 |
| cfhowlett | binyod, have fun! | 11:48 |
| k1l | AndroUser: ok, the drivers are in the kernel already. | 11:48 |
| Ben64 | Gregor_: if you have a server you really should learn them! | 11:48 |
| ActionParsnip | binyod: www.youtube-mp3.org | 11:48 |
| mastroWork | Ben64, should I reboot for libc downgrade to take action? | 11:48 |
| binyod | gordonjcp, thank you for the hints! | 11:48 |
| gordonjcp | Gregor_: yeah, you need to use the command line to work with servers | 11:49 |
| Gregor_ | ok | 11:49 |
| Ben64 | mastroWork: probably | 11:49 |
| gordonjcp | Gregor_: even in Windows | 11:49 |
| mastroWork | Ben64, (thank you) | 11:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Gregor_: again, what are you wanting to do on the remote PC? Not everything is command line | 11:49 |
| Gregor_ | your right | 11:49 |
| mastroWork | brb | 11:49 |
| gordonjcp | Gregor_: Windows servers don't use GUIs either | 11:49 |

| binyod | ActionParsnip, it'd already not worked with soundconverter :) | 11:49 |
| Gregor_ | want to try things out | 11:49 |
| Guest25922 | hi. trying xubuntu13.10 using liveusb on p4 with intel graphics controller 82865g. the working is smooth but the graphics are not.. the desktop looks like this. http://s9.postimg.org/5wf2wi59r/Screenshot_10232013_11_44_53_AM.png how do i install or activate the appropriate driver? | 11:49 |
| Gregor_ | and i also dont have a real server | 11:49 |
| Ben64 | fun and server don't really mix, thats how people get hacked | 11:49 |
| Gregor_ | only a pc at home | 11:50 |
| Ben64 | then use some iteration of vnc | 11:50 |
| binyod | ActionParsnip, thank you! this looks great, will try it now! | 11:50 |
| Gregor_ | vnc | 11:50 |
| Gregor_ | is vnc a protocoll like irc? | 11:50 |
| k1l | AndroUser: can you pastebin the logs? so others could have a read for suggestions? | 11:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Gregor_: you can use VNC over SSH but you are basically wasting resources. You can run updates via SSH and access your fles securely over SFP | 11:50 |
| binyod | ActionParsnip, the problem is that the video I convert is >20 min. :( | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Gregor_: you can manage torrents using web interfaces in clients, which phones can also communicate with | 11:51 |
| Gregor_ | SFP? | 11:51 |
| binyod | they don't convert videos longer than 20 min. | 11:51 |
| AndroUser | How do i do that? I can't get to a browser on the computer taht needs help | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | binyod: is ther ea limit on the site? | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Gregor_: SFTP | 11:51 |
| binyod | ActionParsnip, yes | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | binyod: oh :( | 11:51 |
| Gregor_ | you meen FTP? | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Gregor_: no, SFTP Secure File Transfer Protocol | 11:51 |
| cfhowlett | binyod, pretty sure you can import .flv audio into audacity and output your .mp3 | 11:52 |
| k1l | !pastebinit | AndroUser | 11:52 |
| ubottu | AndroUser: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 11:52 |
| Gregor_ | That is saver thean FTP? | 11:52 |
| === daedeloth_ is now known as daedeloth | ||
| ActionParsnip | Gregor_: but you would NOT tell me what you were wantingf to do so I could not advise better | 11:52 |
| Hawkerz | gartral, my question about suspend/resume was not directly related to the graphics issue -- it often causes a lot of prroblems if you suspend a linux install | 11:52 |
| Gregor_ | only playing around | 11:52 |
| Gregor_ | im interrested in those things | 11:52 |
| Gregor_ | nothing more | 11:52 |
| AndroUser | Paste.ubuntu.com/6288586 | 11:53 |
| gartral | Hawkerz: it doesn't seem to matter | 11:53 |
| binyod | cfhowlett, Ben64, for everyone's information: ffmpeg is apparently no more in use. after install when I tried to start it I got this message : THIS PROGRAM IS DEPRECATED *** | 11:53 |
| binyod | This program is only provided for compatibility and will be removed in a future release. Please use avconv instead. | 11:53 |
| AndroUser | That's xsession, k11 | 11:53 |
| Hawkerz | gartral, what IRC client are you using? | 11:53 |
| gordonjcp | Gregor_: SFTP isn't much like FTP at all | 11:53 |
| Gregor_ | but im planing to get a server with teamspeak, irc and maybe a game like counterstrike | 11:53 |
| Ben64 | binyod: yeah, same thing, different name | 11:54 |
| Gregor_ | whats the diffrence | 11:54 |
| AndroUser | What else should i upload? | 11:54 |
| binyod | Ben64, oh, ok | 11:54 |
| Gregor_ | between ftp and sftp | 11:54 |
| AndroUser | Lightdm log?, k11 | 11:54 |
| gordonjcp | Gregor_: well, FTP is basically like posting your usernames and passwords on reddit and hoping that no-one notices | 11:54 |
| cfhowlett | binyod, yea, avconv is the new one, but i don't know how to use it. FYI< confirmed that Audacity will import .flv and export .mp3 | 11:54 |
| gordonjcp | Gregor_: SFTP does everything over ssh | 11:54 |
| binyod | cfhowlett, trying audacity now, though I'm not very familiar with it yet | 11:54 |
| Gregor_ | at sftp noone can sniff the password? | 11:55 |
| cfhowlett | binyod, import the .flv. export the .mp3 | 11:55 |
| Gregor_ | right? | 11:55 |
| binyod | cfhowlett, thank you! I'll try now | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Gregor_: its 128bit encrypted, so no | 11:55 |
| Hawkerz | gartral, also, can you run glxgears? | 11:55 |
| gartral | Hawkerz: irssi through terminal | 11:55 |
| AndroUser | Paste.Ubuntu.com/6288596 lightdm log | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Gregor_: hence why its call SFTP, not FTP (FTP sends everything in plain text) | 11:55 |
| gartral | Hawkerz: indeed i cal | 11:56 |
| gartral | can* | 11:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Gregor_: once more, WHY do you want to access the desktop on the server? What activities do you want to do? | 11:56 |
| Gregor_ | so its easier to catch the login data? | 11:56 |
| binyod | cfhowlett, there are options to import; audio, labels, midi, raw data.. which one is the right one for .flv? | 11:56 |
| Gregor_ | its not a server | 11:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Gregor_: I see loads of people running VNC servers then opening terminals and working in CLI | 11:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Gregor_: if you run something you can get a connection to, it is a server | 11:57 |
| cfhowlett | binyod, try open the .flv in audacity. | 11:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Gregor_: the server serves the service | 11:57 |
| Hawkerz | gardar, what does it give you as your fps | 11:57 |
| Gregor_ | lol | 11:57 |
| Hawkerz | gartral* | 11:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Gregor_: why 'lol' ? | 11:57 |
| AndroUser | K11, thoughts? | 11:57 |
| Gregor_ | i want to help friends on their pcs | 11:57 |
| gartral | Hawkerz: between 235 and 42 fps | 11:57 |
| Gregor_ | the server runs the service | 11:57 |
| Gregor_ | that rimes! | 11:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Gregor_: then you need the teamviewer client, not server | 11:57 |
| Gregor_ | xD | 11:57 |
| Gregor_ | because they have to open ports | 11:58 |
| Gregor_ | right | 11:58 |
| Gregor_ | if i use vnc | 11:58 |
| === karlo|afk is now known as karlo | ||
| ActionParsnip | Gregor_: yes but if you wnat to connect to them, then you need the client, not the server | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Gregor_: THEY will run the server and your client will connect to their server | 11:59 |
| binyod | I'm just wondering.. soundconverter used to work all the time. it is not converting lately. | 11:59 |
| Gregor_ | and if i use vnc for this they have to open ports | 11:59 |
| Gregor_ | right? | 11:59 |
| Hawkerz | gartral, can you pm me? irssi has /exec right? | 11:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Gregor_: yes and you will connect to their WAN IP | 12:01 |
| Paterito | I have a question why when I type su and press enter it says authentication failed? I'm on ubuntu live | 12:02 |
| Gregor_ | but can you use teamviewer when the teamviewer servers are offline | 12:02 |
| gordonjcp | Paterito: do you mean "sudo"? | 12:02 |
| cordell | Paterito: try sudo su if you need root access for something | 12:02 |
| Gregor_ | and if i have an vnc server running on pc | 12:05 |
| Paterito | gordonjcp: I want su please | 12:05 |
| Paterito | can it be done? | 12:05 |
| Gregor_ | can i access from another vnc client | 12:06 |
| gordonjcp | !sudo | Paterito | 12:06 |
| ubottu | Paterito: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 12:06 |
| Gregor_ | client from another company | 12:06 |
| binyod | cfhowlett, I will be able to convert the file to mp3, but there was another problem here. though I wanted to convert to mp3, I had earlier somehow problem playing some files with my mp3 player (!). I don't know if this relates to the format itself. it is a sony walkman, if you're familiar with it. is there any other format you might suggest which would surely play? | 12:10 |

| jackfinn | yes | 12:20 |
| ActionParsnip | jackfinn: then it wil be ran | 12:20 |

| iceroot | !minimal | Guest70671 | 12:33 |
| ubottu | Guest70671: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 12:33 |

| stevecoh1 | after upgrade to 13.04, many problems. First one is that GRUB boot screen is way off to the left so I can't read it. Is there a way to fix this? | 12:45 |
| Hawkerz | gartral, did you reboot yet? | 12:45 |
| jonaskul | Any Vaio Pro users? | 12:46 |

| mathias1 | hi everyone! I am not sure weather this is the right place or not. Do I get ubuntu support here? My system is broken since last update and I am running on a live version... | 12:54 |
| jpds | mathias1: Yes. | 12:54 |
| mathias1 | So I simply write the issue into this channel? | 12:55 |
| BluesKaj | mathias1. describe your conditions , what happens etc | 12:56 |
| BluesKaj | broken doesn't tell us anything | 12:56 |
| Paterito | anybody knows if the ext3 file system supports ñ | 12:57 |
| b0x | ITS BROKE \o/ | 12:57 |
| b0x | only joking, ubuntu is awesome. | 12:58 |
| b0x | mathias1: i had to resetup a few things after the update to 13.10 | 12:58 |
| b0x | but fine after | 12:58 |
| Pici | Paterito: Are you asking if ext3 supports multibyte characters in filenames? | 12:59 |
| mathias1 | ubuntu supposed a distro update to me. I accepted and assume the download was complete, like I suppose the update progress was complete as well. I accedently closed the notebook lit and my system went into standby (my standard procedure in the evening). after doing this I realised the update again. Nxt time I used the laptop the updater window was broken and I killed it with xkill. Bad idea I guess? I thought about apt-get update/upgrade but | 12:59 |
| Pici | Paterito: if so, the answer is yes. | 12:59 |
| mathias1 | the bootloader works but it says something about not able to mount.. I can not give you the exact error now.. but I have my sda1 mounted after starting... | 13:00 |

| Deithrian | Hello! I just did "sudo apt-get install p11-kit:i386" and I received the following in terminal "Removing xubuntu-desktop ... Removing software-center ... removing oneconf ... Removing ubuntu-sso-client ..." and so on. | 13:04 |
| Deithrian | Did that thing just removed my desktop and if I restart it will be gone?! | 13:04 |
| Deithrian | Anyone? | 13:05 |
| Deithrian | Can someone tell me how an INSTALL command REMOVES my desktop and software center ?! | 13:06 |
| osubuntu | Deithrian, try UCS, apt-get, aptitude or sth like that | 13:07 |
| osubuntu | UCS is based on GUI | 13:07 |
| Deithrian | No command 'ucs' found, did you mean: | 13:08 |
| mathias1 | Did anyone read my problem and is thinking about it? | 13:08 |
| Deithrian | So it did remove software center and xubuntu... wow | 13:08 |
| binyod | I have only terminal open (no synaptic, no update manager) but still get the message "E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?" | 13:09 |
| lotuspsychje | mathias1: re-ask your question in chat once in a while, at other times someone might solve | 13:09 |
| mathias1 | lotuspsychje: it is not just a plain question I can reask once in a while. It is a whole problem that needs a bit more of attention.. | 13:10 |
| Deithrian | I will write this as a note for my future self whenever I think of touching Linux again ^^ | 13:10 |
| Deithrian | holy shit | 13:10 |
| lotuspsychje | mathias1: try to compact your issue to the base first | 13:10 |
| mathias1 | lotuspsychje: I would love to. But I can not do this as I do not know how to describle the problem more specificly. It is: My system does not boot anymore ... | 13:11 |
| Hawkerz | mathias1, what is the actual error message you are seeing | 13:11 |
| lotuspsychje | !details | mathias1 | 13:11 |
| ubottu | mathias1: 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 ..." | 13:11 |
| mathias1 | I can not tell you because I am on the machine at this right moment via a live ubuntu. | 13:12 |
| lotuspsychje | mathias1: what did you try, before it all went wrong? | 13:12 |
| Hawkerz | mathias1, sounds like you need to mount the root filesystem and chroot into it, finish your updates and reboot | 13:12 |
| mathias1 | lotuspsychje: I said to the distro upgrader: YES do it baby. Two hours later > reboot > no system anymore. | 13:13 |
| mathias1 | Hawkerz: I did chroot into it but tell me how to finish updates. | 13:13 |
| Hawkerz | mathias1, does that mean that you pressed the power button and the light did not come on? | 13:13 |
| lotuspsychje | mathias1: you upgraded from 13.04 to 13.10? | 13:13 |
| mathias1 | lotuspsychje: yes | 13:14 |
| Hawkerz | mathias1, or did you get to grub? or to the login screen? | 13:14 |
| mathias1 | Hawkerz: I do not understand your queston. grub is working and i will get a shell | 13:14 |
| Hawkerz | well you said you had no system, but you did not supply any further details | 13:14 |
| lotuspsychje | mathias1: what happens after grub load? | 13:14 |
| mathias1 | I chrooted into the system. tell me how to fix it and i will tell you the error messages i get | 13:14 |
| Hawkerz | mathias1, do you understand why it might be helpful to have some idea of what is broken before we start telling you how to fix it? | 13:15 |
| mathias1 | error message that i can not tell right now and a shell.. something about mounting something.. i dont know why it says this cuz my sda1 is mounted... | 13:15 |
| bjsnider | can someone with unity open an image please? | 13:15 |
| Hawkerz | mathias1, we do not need the specific error messages, but perhaps you have some vague idea of how far along in the boot process you made it before things went bad | 13:16 |
| mathias1 | Hawkerz: yes.. I understand. but i can not tell you want is broken. and what I said know I already said before. | 13:16 |
| Hawkerz | mathias1, nobody is asking you to state definitively what is broken. I asked you if you made it to grub, and then if you made it past that | 13:16 |
| m1chael | i have some iso files i need to burn. they various sizes of the iso files are: 7.7gb, 7.3gb, 6.1gb, 7.7gb... i cannot burn these to the 4.7gb dvds i've got... do they make larger capacity dvds? | 13:17 |
| Hawkerz | mathias1, I and most others are not going to be very willing to help you if the only thing you can say about it is that your system is broken | 13:17 |
| mathias1 | Hawkerz: grub is working and a can choose a kernel to boot. but i can not tell you how far the process went as ubuntu omits all output by standard | 13:17 |
| Hawkerz | ok | 13:17 |
| Hawkerz | (you can override that by hitting escape) | 13:17 |
| lotuspsychje | m1chael: yes, but thats not really an ubuntu question right | 13:17 |
| m1chael | right, sorry. taking my question elsewhere. | 13:18 |
| lotuspsychje | m1chael: try ##hardware mate | 13:18 |
| Hawkerz | mathias1, did you try booting into the recovery disk | 13:18 |
| mathias1 | i can tell you that i tried "sudo apt-get -f install" on the chrooted system and that it stops due to tooo many errors | 13:18 |
| Hawkerz | that's helpful ! | 13:18 |
| whoever | mathias1: you shouled not need -f for that | 13:19 |
| mathias1 | Hawkerz: how? i said: i chrooted into the system and i can not fix it. please tell me what i should write into the shell and i will give you the errors i will get. | 13:19 |
| Hawkerz | mathias1, sudo do-release upgrade | 13:19 |

| osubuntu | graingert, but there is not much doc about 12.10 :| | 13:20 |
| Hawkerz | mathias1, sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | pastebinit | 13:21 |
| mathias1 | Hawkerz: my output is german. still ok/ | 13:21 |
| Hawkerz | sure | 13:21 |
| lotuspsychje | !12.10 | osubuntu | 13:21 |
| ubottu | osubuntu: Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) is the current stable release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.10/ - Release notes: http://ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/12.10 - Support in #ubuntu | 13:21 |

| tkooger | I Just upgraded to 13.10 from 13.4 and I had some custome mounts in my fstab, these no longer work however I can connect to the server through nautilus has anyone seen an issue like this before? | 13:21 |
| Hawkerz | tkooger, are they samba mounts? | 13:22 |

| Hawkerz | hmmmmmm | 13:22 |
| Paterito | hello I'm trying to mount a filesystem ext3 with user priviligies so it can write data to it I want to set the mount folder with write permissions but when I do chmod +w it appears to do only for the root user how to do it for the rest | 13:22 |
| mathias1 | i have no /proc/net/dev .. i can not use ifconfig | 13:22 |
| Hawkerz | ohhhh, are you not online at all? | 13:22 |
| mathias1 | Hawkerz: seems so | 13:23 |
| Hawkerz | in the chroot anyway | 13:23 |
| Hawkerz | ok | 13:23 |
| mathias1 | Hawkerz: i did: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt && sudo chroot /mnt | 13:24 |
| Hawkerz | mathias1, exit the chroot | 13:24 |
| mathias1 | Hawkerz: the hostname is now ubuntu .. maybe this is a problem? | 13:24 |
| Hawkerz | mathias1, where is your root file system mounted ? I mean where did you mount it | 13:25 |
| cabral | hi. i'm root and tried to change some permissions but the operation wasn't permitted. | 13:25 |
| mathias1 | Hawkerz: define root file system | 13:25 |
| Hawkerz | mathias1, the hard disk | 13:25 |
| Hawkerz | that you then chrooted into | 13:25 |
| Hawkerz | is mounted where, relative to the livecd filesystem | 13:25 |
| mathias1 | Hawkerz: i allready told you? mount /dev/sda1 /mnt | 13:26 |
| Hawkerz | ok | 13:26 |
| Hawkerz | mathias1, sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev && sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc && sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys | 13:26 |
| mathias1 | Hawkerz: btw: thanks for your time and help | 13:27 |
| Hawkerz | then chroot /mnt | 13:27 |
| mathias1 | Hawkerz: awesome! thanks! | 13:27 |
| Hawkerz | then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -f install | 13:27 |
| mathias1 | Hawkerz: can i try a sudo apt-get update and so on now? | 13:28 |
| mathias1 | Hawkerz: okkeee | 13:28 |
| Hawkerz | mathias1, yeah, and uh | 13:28 |
| Hawkerz | you may have to do sudo dpkg --configure -a | 13:28 |
| mathias1 | Hawkerz: still can not resolve links | 13:28 |
| Hawkerz | hmmm | 13:28 |
| Hawkerz | nslookup google.de ? | 13:28 |
| mathias1 | Hawkerz: already tried -f install and --configure-a before.. it does not work | 13:28 |
| Hawkerz | which links can't it resolve? is your chroot not connected or are your sources corrupted | 13:29 |
| mathias1 | Hawkerz: ping 8.8.8.8 works btw. | 13:29 |
| MARKTIME | can anyone help me mount a windows raid 0 volume? | 13:29 |
| Hawkerz | maybe ditch the update command, just sudo apt-get -f install | 13:29 |
| mathias1 | Hawkerz: root@ubuntu:/# nslookup google.de | 13:29 |
| mathias1 | ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached | 13:29 |
| Hawkerz | ohhh | 13:29 |
| Hawkerz | sorry, forgot one thing | 13:30 |
| mathias1 | Hawkerz: sudo apt-get -f install does not work .. it will stop due to too many errors | 13:30 |
| Hawkerz | from outside of the chroot : cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/etc/resolf.conf | 13:30 |
| Hawkerz | then back into it and things should work | 13:30 |
| MARKTIME | can anyone help me mount a windows raid 0 volume? | 13:31 |
| Hawkerz | MARKTIME, is it hardware or software raid? | 13:31 |
| Hawkerz | if it's hardware raid, doesn't it just present as a single drive? | 13:31 |
| fxhp | Hawkerz - that was going to be my first question | 13:31 |
| MARKTIME | software | 13:31 |
| Hawkerz | isn't mdadm the linux software raid utility? | 13:32 |
| MARKTIME | it was hardware but I turned it off in the bios with the understanding that the ubuntu software mdadm would detect it. | 13:32 |
| fxhp | MARKTIME - NTFS support was just recently added (in the last 5 years of so) | 13:32 |
| fxhp | MARKTIME - do you want to keep the data | 13:33 |
| MARKTIME | when I do a dir I can see it and it is named "asr_Backup\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ control" | 13:33 |
| fidel | Hawkerz: in short yes- mdadm can be used to create & maintain software-raids | 13:33 |
| MARKTIME | I found some instructions but the name it shows me is different than the format of the one in the instructions | 13:34 |
| mathias1 | Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.11.0-12-generic (x86_64) | 13:34 |

| Romance | do i really need a firewall for a casual desktop usage? just browsing net, stream video, and do some libreoffice | 13:34 |
| Pici | !firewall | Romance ; TL;DR no, you should be fine | 13:34 |
| ubottu | Romance ; TL;DR no, you should be fine: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as Gufw also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | 13:34 |
| Hawkerz | mathias1, that was with -f? | 13:34 |
| Romance | Pici: danke | 13:34 |
| Paterito | how can I mount a filesystem with user write priviligies? I changed the bits on the folder in /media to allow write access to users but when I mount something it still wont' let me write anything | 13:35 |
| mathias1 | Hawkerz: yes... I just wanted to tell the chat the msg | 13:35 |
| mathias1 | Hawkerz: -f install still running.. | 13:35 |
| Hawkerz | oh | 13:35 |
| Hawkerz | if you have more issues just pastebin the error logs | 13:35 |
| mathias1 | Hawkerz: I will do. Thanks a lot for the help so far! | 13:36 |
| Hawkerz | no problem | 13:36 |
| MARKTIME | fx-hp yes I want to keep the data | 13:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Paterito: how did you mount the file system and what format is it? | 13:36 |
| foofoobar | When I unplug my A/C, I have WLAN lags. (I'm using a notebook) | 13:36 |
| Hawkerz | MARKTIME, if you had a perfectly good hardware raid configuration why would you want to give it to ubuntu ? | 13:36 |
| foofoobar | What can be a cause of this? | 13:36 |
| MARKTIME | I haven't managed to get it to mount and it is ntfs | 13:36 |
| Hawkerz | doesn't hardware raid present the same as a signle disk to the os? | 13:36 |
| Paterito | sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda5 /media/data | 13:36 |
| Paterito | the data folder has write access to users | 13:37 |
| Hawkerz | foofoobar, power management utilities | 13:37 |
| MARKTIME | Hawkerz because windows recognizes it as a blank volume that needs to be initialized | 13:37 |
| fidel | the "maybe" advantage of a linux sw-raid might be that you can still use it in another box - even if your former raid-controller is broken | 13:37 |
| Paterito | ActionParsnip: I tried -o users with no avail | 13:37 |
| Hawkerz | foofoobar, when your laptop loses a/c power, it starts trying to preserve battery | 13:37 |
| === shiny is now known as sh1ny | ||
| MARKTIME | RAID shows healthy in controller. i only need it long enough to copy off dat | 13:38 |
| Hawkerz | foofoobar, which means it cuts power to everything it can (pm-powersave I think is the relevant software) | 13:38 |
| foofoobar | Hawkerz, okay, I will google pm-powersave | 13:39 |
| foofoobar | thanks | 13:39 |
| BenyaminL | hello, i need help, why my vdi VM that i make in linux can't run on windows? anyone can help me, i need my vdi work on windows, thx, i run on ubuntu 13.04 | 13:39 |
| Hawkerz | MARKTIME, of course it shows healthy in the controller, but you just said you turned off hardware raid to present the disks to linux with the hope that you would then be able to operate on the filesystem safely? | 13:39 |
| MARKTIME | Yes, I just said that to indicate that the drives were physically ok. Windows sees a single volume but says it needs to initialize | 13:39 |
| mikolaj | I have something like this: '>\xd7s\xb9\x9aXk' | 13:39 |
| mikolaj | but its turning into mumbo jumbo in python | 13:40 |
| mathias1 | Hawkerz: again: THANKS A LOT! I will dare a reboot now | 13:40 |
| Hawkerz | good luck | 13:40 |
| mikolaj | how can I keep it in the original form | 13:40 |
| mathias1 | :) | 13:40 |
| Pici | mikolaj: Please use #python for Python questions | 13:40 |
| mikolaj | ok sory | 13:40 |
| === mikolaj is now known as yeyeman | ||
| Hawkerz | MARKTIME, here is what I am hearing you say, and it makes no sense so maybe I'm wrong. You had 2 drives in hardware raid for windows, with a bunch of stuff on them. Something went wrong, and now you have taken them out of hardware raid and are attempting to create a software raid array in linux to get the bits off those drives? | 13:41 |
| Hawkerz | I don't understand why you can't just leave the drives in the HW raid when you use ubuntu | 13:42 |
| Pici | wii mikolaj | 13:43 |
| Pici | oops | 13:43 |
| MARKTIME | Hawkers, yes. The boot drive on the system failed (NOT the RAID0) and I replaced it and reloaded it with windows. Now windows can see the volume in disk manager but things it needs to initialize. I am hoping ubuntu can view the raid using its software controller and let me get data off. | 13:43 |
| Hawkerz | ohhhh | 13:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Paterito: was it in this system before? | 13:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Paterito: is it a pure user data partition? | 13:43 |
| MARKTIME | Ubuntu does not currently show it as a drive in home folder. | 13:44 |
| Hawkerz | MARKTIME, why don't you just boot with a livecd on the system where you can keep the drives in hw raid | 13:44 |

| Paterito | help! | 14:03 |
| Paterito | I have a file that has a invalid character and I can't rename it or do anything with it how do I rename this? | 14:04 |
| Pici | Rockcanon: What does that have to do with Ubuntu? | 14:04 |
| BrixSat | Paterito: dont ask for help just.... speak it out | 14:04 |
| BrixSat | Paterito: is that command line? | 14:04 |
| Rockcanon | i just guess someone who know about | 14:04 |
| Paterito | BrixSat: terminal or gui | 14:05 |
| Rockcanon | do not have anyother means | 14:05 |
| BrixSat | Paterito: in terminal what do you write? | 14:05 |
| Paterito | on gui I have root priviligies but I still can't edit it | 14:05 |
| Pici | Rockcanon: This channel is only for Ubuntu support, not mac, not windows, Ubuntu. There is ##windows and a plethora of other channels on freenode. | 14:05 |
| Paterito | sudo rename flash.flv to flashfixedname.flv | 14:05 |
| Rockcanon | well | 14:05 |
| CatKiller | Paterito: What's the filename in question? | 14:05 |
| Rockcanon | thank you | 14:05 |
| Pici | Paterito: Thats not how the rename command works. | 14:06 |
| Paterito | CatKiller: there is a question mark on that character I can't reproduce it | 14:06 |
| Paterito | Pici: rly | 14:06 |
| CatKiller | Paterito: Open the "terminal", navigate to the directory in question and run "ls -la" | 14:06 |
| BrixSat | Paterito: sudo mv flash.flv newflash.fvl | 14:06 |
| Pici | Paterito: mv filename1 filename2. Use tab-complete or wildcards if you can't figure out how to type the characters. | 14:06 |
| Paterito | it works! | 14:08 |
| Paterito | I can't understnad why rename command won't work | 14:08 |
| xperement | it always works | 14:09 |
| Paterito | xperement: I didn't read it's manual :( | 14:09 |
| genii | Probably because mv (move) is the new "rename" | 14:09 |
| Paterito | quick question does the ubuntu server supports ñ I know desktop does | 14:10 |
| ganessh | Hi all | 14:15 |
| abdullatif | Hi | 14:15 |
| foofoobar | Hawkerz, so as far as I could see there is a /etc/power.d/wireless file which is a symlink to /usr/lib/tlp-pm/tlp-nop | 14:16 |
| geirha | Paterito: The rename command in ubuntu uses perl syntax and regular expressions to rename files | 14:16 |
| foofoobar | Should I remove this file to disable pm support for wireless? | 14:16 |
| geirha | rename is not a standard command, so it may have very different functionality depending on what system you're on | 14:17 |
| Hawkerz | foofoobar, does it have anything in it? | 14:17 |
| Hawkerz | foofoobar, pastebinit /usr/lib/tlp-pm/tlp-nop | 14:17 |

| abdullatif | Okey | 14:25 |
| abdullatif | Sorry | 14:25 |
| geirha | Paterito: That's how you do it for fat and ntfs, not ext3. With ext3, you mount it as usual, then chown the mount point. | 14:25 |
| kostkon | demophobia, 6.06? seriously? | 14:26 |
| BrixSat | demophobia: please use ubuntu 12.04 for a long term support version or the lattest 13.10 | 14:26 |
| geirha | Paterito: sudo chown 999:999 /media/data # after it has been mounted | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | demophobia: are there any bugs reported? | 14:26 |
| Paterito | I chown the mount point before mouting the fs | 14:26 |
| demophobia | kostkon: Yes, my 9.04 got corrupted | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | geirha: why 999 ? | 14:26 |
| Paterito | that's my uid | 14:26 |
| geirha | Paterito: You can also use the username and groupname instead of the uid and gid | 14:26 |
| demophobia | BrixSat: How can I? I say near the end: "I have not been able to use the latest Ubuntu software for two reasons: One version of Ubuntu 12.04.2 Desktop tells me the hardware is incompatible with the kernel, if I recall the boot-up error message correctly. So I try downloading the 32-bit version (assuming I accidentally got the 64-bit version), thinking perhaps that is compatible with this hardware, but I cannot burn it to disc: It is larger than 700 | 14:26 |

| Paterito | ActionParsnip: is a long story | 14:27 |
| BrixSat | demophobia: you can use a pen := | 14:27 |
| Hawkerz | Paterito, how did you get a uid of 999? | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip | demophobia: tried Lubuntu? its great for low end systems, or people wh like a snappy desktop | 14:27 |
| demophobia | ActionParsnip: I don't know how to check that. BrixSat What do you mean a pen? | 14:27 |

| ganessh | Thanks kostkon and ubottu | 14:28 |
| geirha | Paterito: Changing ownership on the mount point before mounting anything there will have no effect | 14:28 |
| demophobia | BrixSat: Doesn't booting from a USB stick mean it can _only_ be used for that purpose, i.e. it can no longer be used to store other files? | 14:29 |
| Hawkerz | demophobia, no | 14:29 |
| BrixSat | demophobia: lol dont you add files and remove them? Why would use it as a "cd" make it unusable again? | 14:31 |
| Paterito | geirha: right~! | 14:33 |

| rt_91 | i have installed Ubuntu on a Xen VM When i Access its console using xm console vmname then it shows only the debug messages etc no the terminal itself. How can i have terminal in that console? | 14:34 |
| BrixSat | rt_91: that is a xen config problem not a ubuntu prob. | 14:34 |
| demophobia | BrixSat: Well, what I meant was -- I understand a flash drive can be reformatted, unlike burning a disc, but my impression was that if using a USB drive to boot from, that it could _only_ be used for that purpose, that to store files on it, it would have to be reformatted again. | 14:34 |

| mdnight | BrixSat, how much space can i allocate with unetbootin? | 14:36 |
| BrixSat | rt_91: it is not a general linux question ;) its a xen specific. I would say you are using a minial ubuntu ovz template. | 14:37 |
| BrixSat | mdnight: the rest ubuntu leaves :p | 14:37 |
| mdnight | BrixSat, ok thank you | 14:37 |
| geirha | Paterito: In fact, you might want to change ownership to root and make it read only on the "pre-mounted" mount-point. That way you won't accidentally copy a bunch of files to it only to realize later that you forgot to mount it first. | 14:37 |
| rt_91 | BrixSat: then what do i do? | 14:37 |
| p1l0t | BrixSat: I don't see it in there | 14:37 |
| rt_91 | BrixSat: Please Help | 14:38 |
| geirha | Paterito: err, "pre-mounted" was a bad term. "unmounted" | 14:38 |
| Paterito | geirha: you're right I get it | 14:38 |

| jose | !best | 14:59 |
| ubottu | 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. | 14:59 |
| Paterito | Hawkerz: no a good irc client for ubuntu server | 15:00 |
| p1l0t | hitsujiTMO: Right but if I move that it can't find any of the normal python stuff because my .egg links are in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages but none of the other factor python modules are there | 15:00 |

| LPhas | kostkon, for what? | 15:09 |
| kostkon | LPhas, also search for "keys" in the dash, open the passwords and keys app and you'll be able to see all the credentials that are saved in your keuring | 15:09 |
| LPhas | kostkon, ok | 15:10 |
| kostkon | LPhas, maybe some option in chromium's settings to disable/alter the way it stores your credentials | 15:11 |
| LPhas | but chrome seems to be able to access my credentials | 15:11 |
| LPhas | event it the "login" fails | 15:11 |
| kostkon | LPhas, chrome or chromium? | 15:11 |
| LPhas | chromium | 15:12 |

| dosequis | Hawkerz: ok well the interface name is p7p1, bcast 10.20.201.255 mask 255.255.255.0 addr 10.20.201.218 | 15:17 |
| dosequis | UP BROADCAST MULTICAST | 15:17 |
| dosequis | rx and tx at 0 with interrupt at 19 | 15:17 |
| Hawkerz | so it's not actually connected to anything | 15:18 |
| Hawkerz | are you on a machine that is on the same local network as the machine you are trying to configure? | 15:18 |
| dosequis | yes I am | 15:18 |
| Hawkerz | dosequis, are you on linux as well? | 15:18 |
| dosequis | Hawkerz: yes | 15:19 |
| dosequis | ubuntu 13.04 server | 15:19 |
| Hawkerz | dosequis, basically give us your own output from ifconfig -- easiest way is if you sudo apt-get install pastebinit && ifconfig | pastebinit | 15:19 |
| dosequis | Hawkerz: ok one sec | 15:19 |
| Pici | Hawkerz: how is apt-get going to work if they don't have an internet connection? | 15:21 |
| martinb | Anybody know of a method of formatting a usb stick to be bootable from aluminium imac. Without using AppleOS? | 15:21 |
| dosequis | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6289546/ | 15:21 |
| dosequis | that is for another machine on same network that is currently working | 15:21 |
| Hawkerz | Pici, he has an internet connection on the machine I asked him to run this on | 15:21 |
| reisio | martinb: what would you be using? | 15:21 |
| Pici | Hawkerz: oops! nevermind! | 15:21 |
| martinb | reisi: ubuntu on said mac (no macos) | 15:22 |
| Hawkerz | dosequis, the other machine doesn't have an eth0 interface? | 15:22 |
| martinb | I need to reinstall | 15:22 |
| dosequis | now the new machine is not the same kind of machine. it's a hp thin client that is running ubuuntu off an usb hdd | 15:22 |
| reisio | martinb: why's that | 15:22 |
| dosequis | no it has p7p1 | 15:22 |
| Hawkerz | oh | 15:22 |
| reisio | martinb: you should be able to just dd it to the usb stick device, just be careful | 15:22 |
| FourFire | Hello, I am about to create a USB bootable for the purpose of booting from it and repartitioning my main drive | 15:22 |
| martinb | I need to reformat partitions, etc. | 15:22 |
| reisio | martinb: why? | 15:22 |
| reisio | FourFire: i | 15:22 |
| dosequis | and actually i do have another thin client that is working | 15:22 |
| reisio | FourFire: hi, even | 15:22 |
| dosequis | but the hd is only 2gb | 15:22 |
| dosequis | so that's why I am trying to run off usb hdd | 15:22 |
| martinb | 4 partitions taking up space | 15:22 |
| domo__ | hello everyone | 15:23 |
| dosequis | but this time around no internet connection | 15:23 |
| dosequis | i am trying with same settings as on other thin client | 15:23 |
| FourFire | my drive is a bit old, but I want to keep using it for a little while, is it possible to get it to automatically resize, ignoring bad sectors? | 15:23 |
| domo__ | am I in the right channel to ask for some specific help? | 15:23 |
| martinb | need only 2 on here. I don't want to have to find/burn a cd, as I have a broken ankle & cannot move around much. I am having issues getting the mac to see the usb drive on boot | 15:23 |
| Hawkerz | dosequis, and you can't ping it? | 15:23 |
| genii | !details | domo__ | 15:23 |
| ubottu | domo__: 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 ..." | 15:23 |
| dosequis | Hawkerz: no pinging doesn't work | 15:23 |
| domo__ | !details | 15:24 |
| Hawkerz | hmmk | 15:24 |
| dosequis | if I do ip link is says state DOWN | 15:24 |
| Hawkerz | dosequis, hostname -A | 15:24 |
| Thalheim | is there anyone I can contact regarding the ubuntu paste site? | 15:24 |
| dosequis | Hawkerz: blank | 15:24 |
| Hawkerz | dosequis, and hostname -a ? | 15:25 |
| Hawkerz | and then on your machine as well | 15:25 |
| martinb | reisio: Any suggestions? | 15:25 |
| dosequis | Hawkerz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6289571/ here is the ifconfig from the other identical thin client that is working | 15:25 |
| hitsujiTMO | Thalheim: maybe #ubuntu-website | 15:26 |
| dosequis | diff i can see is RUNNING | 15:26 |
| genii | Thalheim: Someone in #canonical-sysadmin may be able to assist, if it concerns private info that may be there or a similar issue. | 15:26 |
| reisio | martinb: what sort of issues | 15:26 |
| domo__ | Ok, my problem is the following: some time ago I tried to install packages manually (libssl1.0.0_1.0.1e-3_i386, libssl1.0.0_1.0.1-4ubuntu5.10_amd64) in order to get some program running (i think it was EAGLE). I seem to have broken some dependencies in the packages. my system is now unable to update anything via apt-get, or even remove or install something. apt-get -f install does not work, also package repair in ubuntu rescue-mode does not resolve the problem | 15:26 |
| domo__ | . i will paste the relevant error messages in a second | 15:26 |
| FourFire | so is there anything that I can do in regards to that | 15:27 |
| Hawkerz | dosequis, compare /etc/network/interfaces | 15:27 |
| domo__ | when i try to apt-get upgrade: Die folgenden Pakete haben unerfüllte Abhängigkeiten: | 15:27 |
| domo__ | libssl1.0.0 : Beschädigt: libssl1.0.0:i386 (!= 1.0.1-4ubuntu5.10) aber 1.0.1e-3 ist installiert | 15:27 |
| domo__ | libssl1.0.0:i386 : Beschädigt: libssl1.0.0 (!= 1.0.1e-3) aber 1.0.1-4ubuntu5.10 ist installiert | 15:27 |
| domo__ | thats german for unresolved dependencies.. | 15:28 |
| Thalheim | hitsujiTMO, genii : thank you | 15:28 |
| TomyWork | domo__, you mean "Broken" | 15:28 |
| martinb | reisio: It doesn't see the usb stick if I hold alt(option) down on boot. Just the MBR scheme. This mac has a non-mac drive in it, if that helps | 15:28 |
| reisio | not sure there is such a thing as a mac drive, but that's irrelevant, uh... | 15:29 |
| domo__ | yes, broken. youre right | 15:29 |
| === AndresSM_away is now known as AndresSM | ||
| reisio | martinb: what'd you install from before? | 15:29 |
| martinb | reisio: You buy a replacement drive from apple, it comes pre-formatted. If you don't, then you're hosed putting osx back on. This is only mbr formatted | 15:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | domo__: did you install any ppas? | 15:30 |
| martinb | Installed from CD previously | 15:30 |
| domo__ | i don't know how to resolve this problem. is there some way to manually remove the packages or whatever is wrong in my system? | 15:30 |
| === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off | ||
| FourFire | ok first of all: what type of space should I format my drive to? | 15:30 |
| martinb | reisio: Just found some blank DVD's. I'll try to boot from one of them :) | 15:30 |
| domo__ | hitsujiTMO, i think i did with the mentioned packages: libssl1.0.0 | 15:30 |
| FourFire | (I'm going to make a bootable from it) | 15:30 |
| dosequis | Hawkerz: identical - i copied it - only diff is i added dns-nameservers because I thought that was the issue initially | 15:30 |
| reisio | FourFire: yeah it's called... badblocks | 15:30 |
| hitsujiTMO | !ppa-purge | domo__ | 15:30 |
| ubottu | domo__: 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:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 15:30 |
| reisio | FourFire: but getting a new drive would be simpler :) | 15:31 |
| martinb | Although a link to a nice howto for making mac-bootable usb sticks from Linux would be appreciated ) | 15:31 |
| FourFire | is NFTS fine? | 15:31 |
| reisio | martinb: :) | 15:31 |
| reisio | martinb: you can use unetbootin | 15:31 |
| domo__ | ubottu, hitsujiTMO, thanks i will try that | 15:31 |
| ubottu | domo__: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 15:31 |
| reisio | FourFire: for... installing Ubuntu onto? | 15:31 |
| Hawkerz | dosequis, they are both configured to get static ips? | 15:31 |
| FourFire | yes | 15:31 |
| reisio | FourFire: nope | 15:31 |
| FourFire | what then? | 15:31 |
| Hawkerz | dosequis, and they are both configured with the same nameservers? cat /etc/resolv.conf | 15:31 |
| reisio | FourFire: you can specify the FS during installation | 15:31 |
| domo__ | ah, now I get it with the bots here ;) | 15:31 |
| dosequis | Hawkerz: yes | 15:31 |
| FourFire | oh right | 15:32 |
| dosequis | Hawkerz: yes | 15:32 |
| reisio | FourFire: all you need to do is make sure the installer will have partition space to utilize | 15:32 |
| Hawkerz | dosequis, and they both have the same domain? both running ubuntu 13.04 or something? | 15:32 |
| martinb | unetbootin didn't give me mac-recognisable sticks :( | 15:32 |
| reisio | FourFire: and if the drives exposed to the installer have any partitions with data you care about on them, take care to not overwrite them :) | 15:32 |
| FourFire | so first i should format it as [empty] right? | 15:32 |
| dosequis | Hawkerz: only difference I see is that the one that is working has RUNNING on the 4th line | 15:32 |
| reisio | martinb: sure it did | 15:32 |
| FourFire | (I have stuff on it from before) | 15:32 |
| reisio | martinb: but unfortunately that isn't the only variable | 15:32 |
| reisio | FourFire: you can do that during install, really | 15:32 |
| FourFire | yeah I've backed up the data i want to keep | 15:32 |
| dosequis | Hawkerz: and ip link state is UP for the one that is working and DOWN for the one that isn't | 15:33 |
| reisio | FourFire: yeah, just do it when you run the installer, then | 15:33 |
| lucido | is there a ppa for the latest nvidia drivers? in 304 I cant set a custom resolution and in 173 nvclock doesn't work | 15:33 |
| dosequis | Hawkerz: not sure how to turn it on though... | 15:33 |
| reisio | FourFire: it has an option to overwrite everything / use the whole disk | 15:33 |
| martinb | reisio: Nope. I've just found some destructions which state that dd-ing a usb stick to an empty partition will make it bootable, but osx really doesn't like usb sticks | 15:33 |
| domo__ | hitsujiTMO, what do I do if i cant install any new packages? cant install ppa-purge while the problem still exists... | 15:33 |
| dosequis | Hawkerz: yes both identical machines - only difference is one is running off internal hdd (the one that is working) and other is booting external hdd | 15:33 |
| FourFire | thanks | 15:33 |
| jkgeyti | can i enable autologin (to desktop session) from the command line - i only have ssh access atm | 15:33 |
| wasanzy | hi | 15:34 |
| FourFire | now is it possible for me to use the currently running OS as an image for the drive install | 15:34 |
| reisio | martinb: well it's a question of what the UEFI likes | 15:34 |
| reisio | wasanzy: hi | 15:34 |
| ActionParsnip | jkgeyti: sure you can edit lightdm.conf | 15:34 |
| FourFire | (because I have some tools already installed on it) | 15:34 |
| dosequis | Hawkerz: I tried ifup p7p1 but it doesn't seem to change the sattus of the link | 15:34 |
| martinb | Indeed. I'm totally blind when it comes to UEFI | 15:34 |
| cordyceps | I'd like to update 12.04 to 13.04 but Update Mgr only offers 14.04. What to do? | 15:34 |
| reisio | FourFire: what is the currently running OS? | 15:34 |
| reisio | martinb: aren't we all | 15:35 |
| wasanzy | I wanted to upgrade my ubuntu from 13.04 to 13.10, last time I had an alert to upgrade and I clicked on remind me later, now I want to upgrade and I can't find the OS upgrader | 15:35 |
| FourFire | Ubuntu 32-bit with 'PUA' (or something, lets me use more than 4GB RAM) | 15:35 |
| wasanzy | how do I upgrade via the net? | 15:35 |
| jkgeyti | ActionParsnip: thanks a lot - that seemed to be the keyword i was missing in my google search :) | 15:35 |
| FourFire | 12.04.something | 15:35 |
| ActionParsnip | cordyceps: you will need to edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=normal | 15:35 |
| martinb | reisio: I'm hoping that the CD will be recognised, so that I can reformat my drives. Then I have the wonderful task of trying to get a UEFI boot working, instead of the 30 second timeout I have to wait for to get into mbr boot :( | 15:35 |
| reisio | I'm guessing probably | 15:36 |
| cordyceps | ActionParsnip: thanks! | 15:36 |
| ActionParsnip | wasanzy: sudo do-release-upgrade | 15:36 |
| reisio | although there are some potential UEFI issues with installing from CD/DVD, sometimes | 15:36 |
| reisio | you'll find out one way or the other :) | 15:36 |
| wasanzy | ActionParsnip: oh ok thank you | 15:36 |
| ActionParsnip | cordyceps: the default in LTS is to look for the next LTS< which is 14.04, so you tell it to allow the next release (12.10) to be offered | 15:36 |
| martinb | Oh yes. I'll be going dark for a while now, I think :) | 15:36 |
| wasanzy | does that upgrade my Gnome too? | 15:36 |
| hitsujiTMO | domo__: to be honest, i've never been in such a situation so i'm not sure ... i'd try and get the .deb and install it manually at least | 15:36 |
| domo__ | hitsujiTMO, worth a shot, thanks | 15:37 |
| dosequis | Hawkerz: any ideas? | 15:39 |
| noinoi | ciao | 15:39 |
| sharkguto | someone has already work with python and CPU pinning/affinity? I really want to know how can i perform a thread affinity using python.... i have learing to user threading2 and set the affinity manually , however i only can do it for the hole script,i want to do it for each thread.........for example, t1,t2,t3 running over CPU0 and t4,t5 running over CPU1.....threading2.process_affinity((cpu,)) | 15:39 |
| ActionParsnip | sharkguto: ask in #python too :) | 15:40 |
| sharkguto | i have already | 15:40 |
| sharkguto | no answer yet | 15:40 |
| FourFire | reisio: if I want to use my current running OS as a disk image, rather than the normal .iso file I have can I do that with Ubuntu's Startup disk creator? | 15:41 |
| FourFire | and if so what do I need to do? | 15:41 |
| domo__ | hitsujiTMO, does the following error line help? E: Internal Error, No file name for libssl1.0.0 | 15:42 |
| reisio | FourFire: technically yes, but I wouldn't bother | 15:42 |
| FourFire | ok | 15:42 |
| Hawkerz | dosequis, sorry | 15:42 |
| reisio | FourFire: you're reinstalling Ubuntu? | 15:42 |
| Hawkerz | got distracted, yes, I have lots of ideas | 15:42 |
| FourFire | I'll just install the tools seperately | 15:42 |
| domo__ | hitsujiTMO, that happens whenever i try something like apt-get -f install, etc | 15:42 |
| FourFire | no, not exactly | 15:42 |
| dosequis | Hawkerz: no worries! thanks for your help! | 15:42 |
| Hawkerz | dosequis, dmesg | 15:42 |
| FourFire | I have an windows computer which I used extensively before I was introduced to linux, and I gave Ubuntu a stupidly small partition because I thought I wouldn't use it much (now I never use windows) | 15:43 |
| wayne__ | Is it okay to run Ubuntu in Virualbox? | 15:43 |
| hitsujiTMO | domo__: looks like one of the ppas has its own version of libssl1 and rather than be an update for the actual package, it installed alongside it | 15:43 |
| reisio | wayne__: sure | 15:43 |
| Hawkerz | wayne__, of course it is | 15:43 |
| reisio | FourFire: ah | 15:43 |
| hitsujiTMO | domo__: bad ppa | 15:43 |
| reisio | FourFire: if you don't want the windows partition anymore, you can delete it and reclaim the space without reinstalling, from a live OS | 15:44 |
| dosequis | Hawkerz: on which machine ? can't really copy output easily... | 15:44 |
| reisio | FourFire: it's more like 90% safe instead of 100% safe, but potentially will be a much smaller hassle than reinstalling | 15:44 |
| Hawkerz | FourFire, but you can also resize windows without much trouble | 15:44 |
| Hawkerz | dosequis, just dmesg | grep -i net | 15:44 |
| Hawkerz | on the one that is broken | 15:44 |
| reisio | yeah, but he just said he doesn't use windows anymore :p | 15:44 |
| domo__ | hitsujiTMO, ok.. at least i know where to look now. | 15:45 |
| martinb | reisio: It's a security blanket for some people. I kept my windows partitions around for a few years too, back in the day :) | 15:45 |
| reisio | right, but he just said he's now past that point :p | 15:45 |
| Hawkerz | dosequis, you are mainly looking to see if there are any obvious attempts and failures at connecting to the network | 15:46 |
| martinb | Yay for a partition wipe then :D | 15:46 |
| Hawkerz | dosequis, you can also lspci -vvnn while you're at it | 15:46 |
| Hawkerz | tell me the ethernet controller model # and then at the bottom of the ethernet controller section, it should have a kernel driver mentioned | 15:47 |
| hitsujiTMO | domo__: one last thing you could try after you've done everything is to touch where that file should be ... this could cause other problems, so it would be a last resort | 15:47 |
| Hawkerz | and get the same output from the working one | 15:47 |
| * martinb just realised that he's been running 32-bit linux on this 64-bit machine for far too long... | 15:47 | |
| dosequis | Hawkerz: ok one second | 15:47 |
| Sidhu | Ìû | 15:47 |
| Sidhu | Ìû | 15:48 |
| wayne__ | Can you use your windows stream user name and password for linux steam | 15:48 |
| dosequis | Hawkerz: I have a couple link not ready. It is using the tg3 driver | 15:48 |
| martinb | wayne__: I did :) | 15:48 |
| wayne__ | can you still download the same games? | 15:49 |
| jmgk | join #colloquy | 15:49 |
| martinb | Only the ones which work on Linux | 15:49 |
| dosequis | Hawkerz: if I compare w/ working machine, working machine stast as not ready but there is a line where p7p1 'becomes ready' | 15:49 |
| jmgk | sorry | 15:49 |
| Hawkerz | ok | 15:49 |
| Sidhu | Ìû | 15:49 |
| martinb | wayne__: Not all have been ported yet | 15:49 |
| wayne__ | Okay thanks man | 15:49 |
| Hawkerz | dosequis, and they both have only a single ethernet controller according to lspci -vvnn ? | 15:49 |
| Hawkerz | and sorry, I missed which release of ubuntu you said they are | 15:50 |
| martinb | wayne__: Once you login to the steam client, you get a list of your games. You then click on each one and see which it thinks you can use. There are probably all sorts of wine tricks also, for those interested in that sort of thing. | 15:50 |
| dosequis | Hawkerz: 13.04 server | 15:50 |
| wayne__ | sounds interesting | 15:51 |
| martinb | I just wanted to play Kerbal Space Program :) | 15:51 |
| Hawkerz | ok | 15:51 |
| dosequis | Hawkerz: device is Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5787M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express | 15:51 |
| wayne__ | I found Windows xp would not update anymore, so its the real.. Reason I'm using Virtualbox for linux | 15:52 |
| hitsujiTMO | wayne__: also see #ubuntu-steam | 15:52 |
| bpietro | hi, anybody knows how to resolve this annoying&boring behavior: Unity with 9 (3x3) virtual screen, on #9 opened Skype window and Zoiper window. After some time these windows are still live, but move themselves to any other virtual screen (random choice) | 15:53 |
| Hawkerz | dosequis, same module is powering the other machine? | 15:53 |
| dosequis | Hawkerz: yes tg3 in both cases | 15:54 |
| martinb | wayne__: go look at steamos also. | 15:54 |
| wayne__ | martin is it true windows xp doesn't update anymore? | 15:54 |
| dosequis | Hawkerz: output looks pretty much the same | 15:54 |
| MARKTIME | Hawkerz u there | 15:55 |
| Hawkerz | dosequis, also, sudo service networking status | 15:55 |
| martinb | wayne__: No idea. I'd assume that it's end of life, and only gets basic security updates. If you want to use windows as a platform, you will need a more modern version. | 15:55 |
| Hawkerz | MARKTIME, yep | 15:55 |
| dosequis | Hawkerz: running. Hey I have to run out of the office for a while. Hopefully you will be around when I get back but if not thanks again for all the help! | 15:56 |
| Hawkerz | you have a bizarre situation | 15:56 |
| Hawkerz | and the lights are flashing for sure though? | 15:56 |
| Hawkerz | where the cable is plugged in? | 15:56 |
| dosequis | Hawkerz: yes the cable is plugged in and lights are flashing | 15:57 |
| Hawkerz | lol | 15:57 |
| Hawkerz | I only ask because I had the same issue a week or two ago...and it turned out the cable was never plugged in | 15:57 |
| dosequis | Hawkerz: lol haha happens to the best of us | 15:57 |
| dosequis | I have a third box lying around - I will try to swap with that one this afternoon and see if that fixes the problem | 15:58 |
| Hawkerz | or put the hard drive inside, maybe it's lonely | 15:59 |

| Hawkerz | and then you can use really anything you want to look at them, like less, or vim, or whatever | 16:03 |

| bpietro | cristian_c, leading / missing ;) | 16:04 |
| baordog_ | Hawkerz: As in there is a copy of the source on every linux distor? | 16:04 |
| Hawkerz | cariveri, did you run sudo update-grub2 ? | 16:04 |
| baordog_ | I thought I just had the binaries | 16:04 |
| buu | hitsujiTMO: I don't have a system settings -> sound | 16:04 |
| buu | This is puzzling me | 16:04 |
| Hawkerz | baordog_, they call it open source for a reason | 16:04 |
| cariveri | Hawkerz: no. can I do that now on the livecd ? | 16:04 |
| baordog_ | Right, but I would assume that the source would just live in a repo somewhere | 16:04 |
| hitsujiTMO | ForSpareParts: you could possibly try: dpkg-reconfigure apparmor i'm not familiar with apparmor tho | 16:05 |
| Hawkerz | cariveri, how are you making changes to the bootloader from a livecd? | 16:05 |
| * martinb goes for the big reboot... | 16:05 | |
| Hawkerz | you would need to mount the root filesystem and then chroot | 16:05 |
| hitsujiTMO | buu: definately odd ... try that ppa then | 16:05 |
| Hawkerz | and then you can update grub, yah | 16:05 |
| wrale | do you know of any good way to lock the screen transparently? for a heads up display which shows nagios and similar, i want to lock the keyboard and mouse, while displaying in a kiosk-like mode | 16:06 |
| ForSpareParts | hitsujiTMO, I'll give that a shot. thanks. | 16:06 |
| baordog_ | Hawkerz: That was really what I was asking.... where is the official repo. Where does Ubuntu get it's unix utilities from? are they from a central location or kept updated seperate to other distros? | 16:06 |
| ragutierrez_ | hello | 16:06 |
| cariveri | Hawkerz: yes livecd. /-partition is mounted to /mnt/ | 16:06 |
| xckpd7 | question: how would I undo this command? | 16:06 |
| xckpd7 | sudo ln -f /usr/bin/python2.6 /usr/local/bin/python | 16:06 |
| hitsujiTMO | wrale: disconnect the keyboard and mouse? | 16:06 |
| ragutierrez_ | I need help with my ethernet and wireless | 16:07 |
| ragutierrez_ | can somone help me | 16:07 |
| wrale | hitsujiTMO: clever idea | 16:07 |
| ragutierrez_ | they are atheros | 16:07 |
| buu | hitsujiTMO: W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa/ubuntu/dists/saucy/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found | 16:08 |
| buu | Same with binary-amd64 | 16:08 |
| ForSpareParts | hitsujiTMO, It worked! You're a fucking genius. | 16:08 |
| ForSpareParts | thanks, dude | 16:08 |
| cristian_c | bpietro, thanks | 16:08 |
| hitsujiTMO | ForSpareParts: np | 16:09 |
| cariveri | Hawkerz: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?) on update-grub2 | 16:09 |
| ragutierrez_ | Do you know how can I make Ubuntu recognition for wireless | 16:09 |
| hitsujiTMO | buu: soory, they must not have updated to saucy fully yet | 16:09 |
| babo | i have a bitch of an ubuntu problem, the only firefox package that my ubuntu can see is firefox-3.0 and i can't install that because it's getting 404's from the package manager i'm on jaunty jackolope | 16:09 |
| babo | so i've got no browser | 16:09 |
| ActionParsnip | babo: Jaunty is EOL, so there are no more updates for it | 16:10 |
| ActionParsnip | babo: I recommend a clean install from scratch using Precise, it is LTS and supported til APril 2017 | 16:10 |
| neilp | Does anyone know how to get notifications working for "Back In Time" in Ubuntu 13.10 (Unity)? | 16:10 |
| babo | ActionParsnip: i don't have access to a browser so can you tell me how to upgrade my ubuntu ? preferably to the latest ... | 16:10 |
| ActionParsnip | babo: download the ISO, burn it as slowly as you can to a CD, or use usb-creator to make a bootable USB / SD card | 16:11 |
| ActionParsnip | babo: then install, be sure your data backups are sufficiently recent | 16:11 |
| Hawkerz | cariveri, here? | 16:11 |
| cristian_c | Hi | 16:11 |
| cristian_c | some time ago, I noticed that the volume keys no longer worked fine on 12.04 | 16:11 |
| baordog_ | which version of grep does ubuntu use? GNU? | 16:11 |
| Hawkerz | cariveri, did you mount your hard disk somewhere? if so, where? | 16:12 |
| cristian_c | 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 | 16:12 |
| ActionParsnip | !info grep saucy | 16:12 |
| ubottu | grep (source: grep): GNU grep, egrep and fgrep. In component main, is required. Version 2.14-3 (saucy), package size 277 kB, installed size 668 kB | 16:12 |
| babo | ActionParsnip: i'd prefer not to do that, i just need firefox. i can't download the recent iso cause i don't have firefox | 16:12 |
| hitsujiTMO | buu: desktop or server? | 16:12 |
| cristian_c | 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) | 16:12 |
| ActionParsnip | babo: you can download it with wget | 16:12 |
| cristian_c | what might be the problem? What should I look for? | 16:12 |
| hitsujiTMO | buu: sorry, wrong person | 16:12 |
| cariveri | Hawkerz: I mounted the rootpartition to /mnt/ and chrooted into it. | 16:12 |
| Trudko_ | guys I am switching from windows and I am courious where should I put my development related stuff(libraries, sdk, source code) ? I was used to put these thigs on c:/dev should I put it in home folder? | 16:12 |
| cristian_c | Any ideas? | 16:13 |
| ActionParsnip | babo: wget http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-gnome/daily-live/current/saucy-desktop-i386.iso | 16:13 |
| hitsujiTMO | babo: desktop or server (or cli install)? | 16:13 |
| wrale | hitsujiTMO: just found xtrlock, works well for this.. thanks again | 16:13 |
| ActionParsnip | babo: I assume you want 32bit ISO | 16:13 |
| Hawkerz | cariveri, so if you were to type 'mount' right now it whould show yoru hd mounted at /mnt ? | 16:13 |
| ActionParsnip | babo: This is only supported 9 months, Precise (Ubuntu 12.04) is supported til April 2017 | 16:13 |
| babo | ActionParsnip: yes thanks. unfortunately i don't have any discs handy | 16:13 |
| babo | desktop | 16:13 |
| ActionParsnip | babo: got a usb stick you can use to install with? | 16:13 |
| babo | ActionParsnip | 16:14 |
| babo | oops | 16:14 |
| babo | yes i do | 16:14 |
| brontosaurusrex | Trudko_, yeah, the you make a softlink or something to that folder that would read as /dev if you want | 16:14 |
| ActionParsnip | babo: then use that | 16:14 |
| Shimpu | @marcepan | 16:14 |
| brontosaurusrex | but ~/dev should be good enough | 16:14 |
| Xethron | Interesting Article from IBM: http://www-03.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/41926.wss | 16:15 |
| Hawkerz | cariveri, do you have a separate boot partition? if so you need to also mount that to /mnt/boot then | 16:15 |
| cariveri | Hawkerz: in the surrounding environment yes. not on the chroot whihc seems plausible. | 16:15 |
| hitsujiTMO | !ot | Xethron | 16:15 |
| ubottu | Xethron: #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! | 16:15 |
| Preytell | I am not a big ununtu user, mostly been in the corp world when it's redhat/centos/etc... I am looking for the reason behind something that I am seeing in ubuntu, the first few blocks and the last few blocks of /dev/sda are not being used. So when you extend a drive, and create a new partition the default starting block is not the beginning of the new partition it's the unused space inside that unused space. | 16:15 |
| babo | ActionParsnip: i'll try that if nothing else works. i've downloaded the latest firefox version but when i double click on the firefox executable nothing happens | 16:15 |
| Xethron | Interesting | 16:15 |
| Preytell | anyone else seeing this issue? | 16:16 |
| ActionParsnip | babo: we cannot support Jaunty here, it is dead | 16:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Preytell: yes I se it | 16:16 |
| Hawkerz | cariveri, if you have a separate boot partition, get out of the chroot and mount it to /mnt/boot, also, you should mount the relevant virtual filesystems | 16:16 |
| babo | ActionParsnip: do i have to change the bios to boot from a usb ? | 16:16 |
| ragutierrez_ | I Need Help!!!! | 16:17 |
| Trudko_ | brontosaurusrex: ok thank you | 16:17 |
| neilp | how do I get notifications working for "Back In Time" in Ubuntu 13.10 (Unity)? | 16:17 |
| rawrmonster | i was trying to set up a openvpn server and when i was following the documentation on https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/openvpn.html there are some files it is trying to get me to copy from "/usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa/2.0/*" and copy them to "/etc/openvpn/easy-rsa" (the folder they had me create). But the file's in the folder are not there so i can't change the files like they are telling me. I already have openvpn installed do i ne | 16:17 |
| cariveri | Hawkerz: Hawkerz yes ther eis a sep. boot part. mount showed it is mounted to /boot , but of course its not mounted in the chroot. can I mount it there too? | 16:17 |
| Hawkerz | cariveri, so that would mean: for VFS_PATH in "dev" "proc" "sys"; do mount --bind /${VFS_PATH} /mnt/${VFS_PATH} ; done | 16:18 |
| ActionParsnip | babo: most BIOS's have shortcut keys to cheng the boot device for one shot | 16:18 |
| Hawkerz | yes, you have to | 16:18 |
| Hawkerz | or else you can't update it :p | 16:18 |

| rawrmonster | It don't be recognized yo lol | 16:19 |
| brontosaurusrex | Trudko_, actually /dev is a reserved system dir, make up something else | 16:19 |
| hitsujiTMO | !patience | ragutierrez_ | 16:19 |
| ubottu | ragutierrez_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ | 16:19 |
| cariveri | Hawkerz: wait. mount in the chroot showed me /boot is mounted | 16:19 |
| Hawkerz | did you put it there? | 16:19 |
| Preytell | ActionParsnip: Do you have a reason for why it happens? | 16:20 |
| h31 | Hello. Why there is nearly no updates on 13.10? Everybody are working on Ubuntu Touch? :) | 16:20 |
| Hawkerz | you still have to mount --bind /dev, /proc, and /sys | 16:20 |
| Trudko_ | brontosaurusrex: i can create it but symlink would be problem right? | 16:20 |
| joew | Hello, my /boot partition doesn't have enough space for the recent dist-upgrade. It appears I have a lot of older files in it, such as: initrd images, config files, system maps, vmlinux. Can I safely delete the older versions? | 16:20 |
| freakynl | Hi, I just noticed 12.04.3 comes with 3.8. My 12.04.2 install is stuck on 3.2 (dist-upgrade wants to upgrade the kernel to a newer 3.2 version). Why doesn't it upgrade my kernel to 3.8 as well? | 16:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Preytell: no idea, do you have latest BIOS? | 16:20 |
| ragutierrez_ | rawrmonster: thanks for checking my sentence... can you help me with my problem? | 16:20 |
| cariveri | Hawkerz: it was mountd, I think I did not, but its ok isnt ? still this /user/sbin/grub-probe error | 16:20 |
| freakynl | joew: pretty much yes | 16:20 |
| ActionParsnip | freakynl: why do you need the 3.8 kernel? | 16:21 |
| ActionParsnip | freakynl: is everything working ok? | 16:21 |
| ActionParsnip | freakynl: sound? video? net? all ok? | 16:21 |
| rawrmonster | ragutierrez_: i need a little more info than your eth card is not working have you checked dmesg? | 16:21 |
| Rarrikins | How can I get the WiFi connection thing to stop asking me for passwords when the signal is weak? It'll stupidly sit there for hours without an Internet connection waiting for a password to be entered, long after the signal has gotten better. | 16:21 |
| freakynl | better LIO support. Or actually, LIO iSCSI support. 3.2 does not have it, I have servers with unstable 13.04 because of that | 16:21 |
| cariveri | Hawkerz: moutn in chroot: /dev/sda7 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered) | 16:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Rarrikins: try disabling N speed | 16:21 |
| Hawkerz | cariveri, mount in chroot lies to you, you need to exit the chroot to mount things | 16:22 |
| freakynl | err unstable I mean short term support. Not that ubuntu's support of LIO is great, been complaining about the targetcli on launchpad for over a year - even with newer ubuntu releases they don't bother upgrading the tools... (haven't checked 13.10 yet tho') | 16:22 |
| Hawkerz | also, that mount line does not seem to acknowledge that you have mounted a boot partition, which may be separate, but which you can't know without leaving the chroot | 16:22 |
| hitsujiTMO | freakynl: it doesn't upgrade as doing so could break your system | 16:22 |

| ragutierrez_ | rawrmonster: well the first one is an Atheros Communications Inc. Device 10a1 | 16:23 |
| ActionParsnip | ahhh | 16:23 |
| h31 | freakynl: you need to install it manually, it doesn't comes as an update. | 16:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Rarrikins: what wifi module are you using? | 16:23 |
| freakynl | hitsujiTMO: really? I've been upgrading my own kernels on my private system (not servers thus) for like 17 years. Number of things that broke because of the kernel (as in not my configuring mess up's): 0 | 16:24 |
| ragutierrez_ | rawrmonster: the system recognize them but it seems that the drivers are not installed | 16:24 |
| freakynl | besides ubuntu likes to keep a ton of older kernels laying around anyways ;) just boot the older one | 16:24 |
| === Gspot is now known as Guest10829 | ||
| cariveri | Hawkerz: did not help. I mounted /boot partition into /mnt/boot , chrooted into it, same error. | 16:25 |
| rawrmonster | ragutierrez_: go to terminal and type "dmesg > test.txt" with out the quotes and pastebin the file (just make sure you don't have a test.txt in that directory or you will overwrite it) | 16:25 |
| ActionParsnip | rawrmonster: why not just pipe to pastebinit | 16:25 |
| Hawkerz | cariveri, did you mount the other 3 partitions i told you to mount as well? | 16:25 |
| Rarrikins | ActionParsnip: It looks like iwlwifi | 16:26 |
| cariveri | no I fogot. | 16:26 |
| rawrmonster | ActionParsnip: forgot lol i am a little tired | 16:26 |
| freakynl | and if that breaks things I'm quite curious on who decided to up it anyways. For example plesk supports 12.04. AppAssure supports 12.04, many other parties support 12.04. Don't think they'll be very glad 12.04(.1) has 3.2, 12.04(.2) has 3.2 (well with me, found some post from someone stating it came with 3.5...) and 12.04.3 has 3.8 | 16:26 |
| hitsujiTMO | freakynl: while it is extremely unlikely for it to break your system, in rare cases it can. normally you should only need to upgrade the kernel for specific support (as seems to be your case). | 16:26 |
| dosequis | Hawkerz: just got back from lunch and swapped the machine...and it works! Must be an issue w/ the network card on that other machine...sorry I wasted your time | 16:26 |
| freakynl | hitsujiTMO: yea LIO's iSCSI stack is part of kernel since 3.5 iirc. | 16:26 |
| domo__ | hitsujiTMO, follow-up: this helped http://askubuntu.com/a/169534 | 16:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Rarrikins: run: echo "options iwlwifi 11n_disable=0" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwififix.conf > /dev/null | 16:27 |
| domo__ | hitsujiTMO, at least i think so.. dont know if my system will survive a reboot | 16:27 |
| freakynl | plesk probably won't care. AppAssure builds dkms kernel modules for their vdisk driver tho' | 16:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Rarrikins: then reboot to test | 16:27 |
| brontosaurusrex | Trudko_, let me try ... | 16:27 |
| domo__ | at least it worked hard to correct all kinds of packages | 16:27 |
| Hawkerz | dosequis, no worries, i'm still confused by it | 16:28 |
| hitsujiTMO | dolo__: cool, good luck with the reboot :P ... hopefully you should be back to normal | 16:28 |
| dosequis | Hawkerz: haha I think it must be a hardware issue | 16:28 |

| rawrmonster | ragutierrez__: i will brb going for a smoke | 16:47 |
| cariveri | ok Hawkerz I try reverting the boot flag on the old place, but I dont see how it would use the boot parition at all, since windows and mbr did not do anything to recognize it. | 16:47 |
| eein | so what is missing that doesnt allow me to see thumbnails or open content when mounting my android phone? | 16:47 |
| Hawkerz | cariveri, huh? | 16:48 |
| eein | seems odd, not an issue on windows. i can open them directly without first copying them on to the computer first | 16:48 |
| Hawkerz | you know MBR stands for master boot record? | 16:48 |

| Rory | You can forcibly remove that flag, but it's presumabl;y there for a reason | 16:59 |
| jubale | This is the second time this has happened, first time I only had to reboot Ubuntu, which didn't make sense. | 17:00 |
| Wiz_KeeD | is there a way to format the hard-drive to install ubuntu and leave space to install windows later on in dual-boot? | 17:00 |
| jubale | Instead of simply rebooting, I'd like to solve whatever is causing it to happen. | 17:00 |
| Rory | Wiz_KeeD: Yes, use gparted to set the partitions up manually, then use the custom partitioning option in the installer | 17:00 |
| Rory | !grub | Wiz_KeeD you'll have to do this after | 17:00 |
| ubottu | Wiz_KeeD you'll have to do this after: 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 | 17:00 |
| MonkeyDu1t | Wiz_KeeD first win, then lin, or windows will ruin grub and you'll have to repair it | 17:00 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ughh, so that's why everyon says first windows | 17:01 |
| MonkeyDu1t | Wiz_KeeD yes | 17:01 |
| Rory | jubale: Then you can use "sudo ntfsfix -d /dev/sda5" from the ntfsprogs package | 17:01 |
| hitsujiTMO | Wiz_KeeD: you can install ubuntu first ... theres more work involved if you install windows after ubuntu tho | 17:02 |
| Wiz_KeeD | That all makes sense, so I will do patience first | 17:04 |
| Wiz_KeeD | The thing is that I don't have a DVD or a bootable stick, just two laptops, my smartphone and a external hard-drive | 17:04 |
| Wiz_KeeD | And it's difficult to set windows live-cd from either :)) | 17:04 |

| Trudko_ | Guys if I nstall Ubuntu using wubi would it be problem to update it? | 18:28 |
| ChogyDan | Trudko_: yes | 18:29 |
| Trudko_ | crap .. i dont have usb stick or dvd :/. | 18:29 |
| ChogyDan | Trudko_: wubi is discontinued | 18:29 |
| theuser | I a whole bunch of stuff including skype is missing from the ubuntu software center and i had to download skype directly from skype.com | 18:29 |
| datiti | hello | 18:29 |
| Trudko_ | ChogyDan: and other way how to install through windows? | 18:29 |
| theuser | Beefore this reinstall, skype was working just fine | 18:30 |
| ChogyDan | theuser: try running from the terminal, see if there are errors | 18:30 |
| MonkeyDust | theuser yes, skype is not from canonical, it belongs to some enterprise in redmond - i forget the name | 18:30 |
| ChogyDan | !install | Trudko_ maybe I dunno check out this | 18:30 |
| ubottu | Trudko_ maybe I dunno check out this: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - See also !automate | 18:30 |
| theuser | But i used to be able to install from the ubuntu software center | 18:31 |
| theuser | not that i care where i install from, but maybe that older version was more stable | 18:31 |
| MonkeyDust | theuser activate the 3rd party repo | 18:32 |
| nikitko | wilee-nilee Thank you. Turned:D | 18:32 |
| Trudko_ | ChogyDan: btw why did you say that it is problem to update ubuntu if I install it by wubi? | 18:32 |
| gogi_ | ubuntu 13.10 with cinnamon menu icon error ? | 18:32 |
| MonkeyDust | theuser or partner repo, rather | 18:32 |

| sam113101 | does the macbook's trackpad work as expected on ubuntu? | 18:33 |
| vlt | Hello. If you wanted to build a solid desktop system with Ubuntu 13.10 and could choose between an "AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+" and an "Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo E8500 CPU @3.16 GHz" ... what would you recommend? | 18:33 |
| ChogyDan | Trudko_: just because 12.04 is the last release that has wubi. It is discontniued | 18:33 |
| sam113101 | will all the gestures | 18:33 |
| kingbeowolf | exit | 18:33 |
| Trudko_ | ChogyDan: I am asking because I found http://schoudhury.com/blog/articles/install-ubuntu-13-04-with-ubuntu-wubi-installer/ | 18:33 |
| Trudko_ | so it seems that it shouldnt be problem | 18:33 |
| gogi_ | somebody use 13.10 with cinnamon? | 18:34 |
| MonkeyDust | !anyone | gogi_ | 18:34 |
| ubottu | gogi_: 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. | 18:34 |
| readyjar | So I'm running 13.10. I just installed kubuntu-full as well, but I want to keep the default Ubuntu unity login screen. I can't seem to figure out how. Using lightdm gives me the KDE style login, and gdm gives me gnome style. Can't seem to get unity | 18:34 |
| gogi_ | thnks | 18:34 |
| gogi_ | ubuntu 13.10 with cinnamon menu icon error, after chaged it? | 18:35 |
| Console | When creating a symbolic link, how do I create a symbolic link of the contents of a folder instead of the actual folder? | 18:35 |
| ChogyDan | Trudko_: maybe. One of the reasons wubi was disconninued was too many issues. But I see what you mean now. You just want to use Wubi to get it installed. Once it is installed, then I was wrong, you should be able to update fine | 18:35 |
| vlt | Console: What? | 18:35 |
| sam113101 | does the macbook's trackpad work as expected on ubuntu? | 18:36 |
| Trudko_ | ChogyDan: too many issues ? Do you think i should install ubuntu using wubi? | 18:36 |
| Trudko_ | I shouldn*t | 18:36 |
| readyjar | So I'm running 13.10. I just installed kubuntu-full as well, but I want to keep the default Ubuntu unity login screen. I can't seem to figure out how. Using lightdm gives me the KDE style login, and gdm gives me gnome style. Can't seem to get unity | 18:36 |
| Console | I'm in the directory I want to create a sym link to and I tried "ln -s ~/Work/Git/TransitLabs/demo/*" to try and copy the content. When I removed the wildcard it just created a sym link to the demo folder inside the folder I'm in | 18:36 |
| Console | vlt: Does that make more sense? | 18:36 |
| ChogyDan | Trudko_: that's all I know. sorry | 18:37 |
| sam113101 | you want to create a symlink for every file? | 18:37 |
| vlt | Console: A bit. What exactly is your goal? | 18:37 |
| Console | My goal is to have the directory with a different name, in a separate location, but with the same exact content as another folder with a different name | 18:38 |
| jhutchins | Console: To do what you're trying to do, remove the target directory and replace it with a symlink to the source directory. | 18:38 |
| hays | when i do rfkill list all it says my wifi is "hard blocked" what does this mean | 18:39 |
| jhutchins | Console: You want any changes in either directory to appear in the other, correct? | 18:39 |

| suore | Hi, how to check time and date at Ubuntu? | 18:40 |
| gogi_ | thnks | 18:40 |
| hitsujiTMO | suore: date | 18:40 |
| MonkeyDust | suore 'date' | 18:40 |
| suore | what date? | 18:41 |
| suore | yes date | 18:41 |
| suore | how to check, where is date at Ubuntu? | 18:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | suore: run 'date' in the terminal | 18:41 |
| suore | lol! to check date i have to run date at terminal?! o.O | 18:41 |
| genii | suore: That is the best way, yes. | 18:41 |
| suore | now i know why all says why linux is shitty, and is not to use for typical Smith... im back to windows | 18:42 |
| hitsujiTMO | suore: unless you just want to see it in unity, then click on the time in the corner | 18:42 |
| MonkeyDust | suore what's funny with the command date, if you want to know the date? | 18:42 |
| readyjar | So I'm running 13.10. I just installed kubuntu-full as well, but I want to keep the default Ubuntu unity login screen. I can't seem to figure out how. Using lightdm gives me the KDE style login, and gdm gives me gnome style. Can't seem to get unity | 18:42 |
| MonkeyDust | suore you can easily alias 'date' to some command you prefer | 18:43 |
| vlt | vlt: Choose Intel (as they said in #ubuntu-offtopic) ;-) | 18:44 |
| genii | readyjar: Change "lightdm-kde-greeter" in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf to just "lightdm" | 18:44 |
| suore | MonkeyDust, im installed Ubuntu bacause all says i easy and friendly for beginers, and... relly is easy in use,i like it, look like OS X, but i no see date in Tray like in windows, i have to wirting everytime in terminal date, to see date..... | 18:44 |
| chro | what happens if I interrupt the upgrading process ? | 18:45 |
| jhutchins | chro: You get to discover the resume commands, or maybe just the -f install command, or maybe you get to reinstall. | 18:45 |
| jhutchins | chro: Somewhat unpredictable, the system may not be fully functional but should be bootable and console-fixable. | 18:46 |
| chro | jhutchins, and can I lose my data in the process ? | 18:46 |
| jhutchins | chro: You can always loose your data, that's why you keep backups. | 18:46 |
| FUmist | should i update grub even if i don't have it installed? | 18:46 |
| buu | LOOSE THE DATA UPON THE PLAINS OF WAR | 18:46 |
| chro | jhutchins, I'm asking if the probability is high, to lose data | 18:46 |
| MonkeyDust | suore something's wrong then, the date should be visible in the tray | 18:46 |
| suore | MonkeyDust, but is not | 18:47 |
| jhutchins | chro: Not if you have backups. | 18:47 |
| suore | from week i have no date... | 18:47 |
| suore | so i think - i ask here | 18:47 |

| readyjar | genii: Now I get no login screen. Just stuck at a black screen | 18:48 |

| UrielVigilant | jhutchins: xsane already come with drivers ? | 18:48 |

| suore | jhutchins, how to check? | 18:53 |
| UrielVigilant | to install deb driver for scan its just sudo dpkg -i package_name.deb ? | 18:53 |

| hotmedal | sdn3rd: I did, now logged in as guest | 18:57 |
| sdn3rd | yo_: yes | 18:57 |
| suore | so i have to wait for repair this bug?. | 18:57 |
| sdn3rd | hotmedal: have network connectivity? | 18:57 |
| suore | by next update? | 18:57 |
| hotmedal | gnome isn't broken, just for my profile. Yes, I'm online from it | 18:57 |

| yo_ | sdn3rd: i mean that is included already with no need to install, since i have no network :/ | 18:58 |
| sdn3rd | hotmedal: try deleting and recreating your user | 18:58 |

| sdn3rd | or deleting .gnome | 18:58 |
| sdn3rd | etc | 18:58 |
| hays | MonkeyDust: guidance there did not work | 18:58 |
| yo_ | sdn3rd: i connected to a router via wpa_supplicant but there's no flow | 18:58 |
| hitsujiTMO | hotmedal: boot with text kernel option and run xorg manually and see if any errors pop up | 18:58 |
| MonkeyDust | suore my advice: fist get used to the new interface, then try to repair things | 18:58 |
| MonkeyDust | first* | 18:58 |
| hays | MonkeyDust: MonkeyDust rfkill list shows the wifi "hard blocked" | 18:58 |
| hotmedal | hitsujiTMO: do you mean from a different tty? | 18:59 |
| hays | with the brcmsmac driver | 18:59 |
| sdn3rd | yo_: you mean you have no ip? | 18:59 |
| Wiz_KeeD | hey guys | 18:59 |

| Wiz_KeeD | how do I format a usb stick to avoid viruses when botting into ubuntu? | 18:59 |
| hitsujiTMO | hotmedal: in the grub menu add the "text" option to your kernel options | 18:59 |
| suore | MonkeyDust, how to use new interfaces? | 18:59 |

| yo_ | sdn3rd: probably yes | 19:00 |
| vlt | malnese: Then `ls /` again. | 19:00 |
| specon | only with the search icon i can find it when i type terminal | 19:00 |
| hitsujiTMO | Wiz_KeeD: the tool you use to create the usb should give you the option to format it as fat32 | 19:00 |
| MonkeyDust | suore theb best way to learn it, is by using itn like you learned windows when it was new | 19:00 |
| malnese | vlt: "unknown filesystem" | 19:00 |
| vlt | malnese: Damn | 19:00 |
| Wiz_KeeD | hitsujiTMO, in ubuntu? | 19:00 |
| MonkeyDust | hays rfkill unblock all | 19:01 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I will make the stick bootable in windows | 19:01 |
| Wiz_KeeD | But first I want to format it to be sure I have no viruses in it | 19:01 |
| vlt | malnese: After "set root..." or from the ls command? | 19:01 |
| malnese | after ls | 19:01 |
| suore | MonkeyDust, so its normal when all no see panel date?? and date options are on, but date settings are grey? i and i have to use how to read dat in terminal.... | 19:01 |
| hays | MonkeyDust: no effect | 19:01 |
| suore | so cool... man... | 19:01 |
| vlt | malnese: Before we try further ... do you have any boot CD or USB stick? | 19:01 |
| malnese | vlt: tried with msdos1, that's just the boot partititon again it looks like | 19:01 |
| malnese | vlt: yes | 19:02 |
| MonkeyDust | suore the date is not the most important thing, is it? first get used to the whole interface, where's what etc | 19:02 |
| hitsujiTMO | Wiz_KeeD: lili (http://www.linuxliveusb.com/) creates a ubuntu live usb and gives you the option to format it as fat32 as you're creating it | 19:02 |
| suore | for me is. | 19:02 |

| oupateddie | UrielVigilant as I say go to the Epson website and search for the scanner and the how to install the drivers. There are three different ones to install. I had the problem last week and solved it by reading on the epson website | 19:09 |
| oupateddie | suddenly since about 2 weeks ago it seems as if nautilus crashes and the top menu options disappear. Need to reboot to get it to restore. Seems as if Libre Office is the culprit. | 19:09 |
| manny0080_ | where can i find the main page | 19:09 |
| Pici | manny0080_: `man nmap` | 19:09 |

| vershan | s-haha-n: the link is not opening | 19:15 |
| JoeyJoeJo | MonkeyDust: Thanks | 19:16 |
| s-haha-n | Pisami, oh no the sda3 is the unallocated and ubuntu combined.... | 19:16 |
| s-haha-n | basically I want to take that unallocated space... and add it to the "sda2" that is 279GB... sorry if this is confusing... | 19:17 |
| Pisami | s-haha-n: yes, but the extended partition is just to make more partitions available, by default you can have only 4 | 19:17 |

If we insert the cdrom source and press continue, the install completes | 19:49 |

| urterror | hello | 20:07 |
| === brokenstein_ is now known as krux | ||
| MattShine | here see both 500 gb hard drives have same number, http://tinypic.com/r/okaaev/5 | 20:07 |
| MattShine | I want to make it all one hard drive 1tb hdf | 20:07 |
| MattShine | hd | 20:07 |
| MattShine | except hitsujiTMO there labeled as different | 20:08 |
| MattShine | so idk what to do | 20:08 |
| hitsujiTMO | MattShine: sda is your physical drive, sda1 is your root partition, sda5 is your swap space which is needed. sdb is a different physical drive, sdb1 is the partition on that drive. | 20:08 |
| bekks | MattShine: All you can do is creating a RAID0. | 20:08 |
| MattShine | bekks how can i create a raid0 on linux? | 20:09 |
| bekks | !raid | MattShine | 20:09 |
| ubottu | MattShine: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 20:09 |
| Pici | bekks: or lvm | 20:09 |
| jhutchins | lvm also allows partitions to extend over multiple devices, but it's a Very Bad Idea. | 20:09 |
| bekks | Pici: Yeah. | 20:09 |
| Pici | jhutchins: Its not smart, but it works. | 20:09 |
| jhutchins | So is doing it with RAID. | 20:09 |
| jhutchins | Pici: Yeah, it's been possible since NT4, but not a good idea. | 20:10 |
| FesterJester | Anyone know how to parse the output from shred into something like YAD or Zenity? | 20:11 |
| MattShine | Bekks I can do this through installing unbuntu correct? | 20:12 |
| bekks | MattShine: You can do this in Ubuntu, and you can use it in Ubuntu only. | 20:12 |
| MattShine | Bekks btw in my bios i have a nvidea stripe array thai i have to disable in order to boot ubuntu any suggestions? | 20:14 |
| forgotmynick | does x11 set display resolution to the server or client? | 20:16 |
| dumnut | hi, when i dual boot, the slider is it left or right side the space for ubuntu? | 20:16 |
| FesterJester | @dumnut: always shrink windows partitions from the right to the left | 20:18 |
| naxil | cristian_c, | 20:18 |
| dumnut | hi FesterJester, so then if in 80g hard drive and i want windows to have 25g, i have 25g space on the left? | 20:19 |
| killer | hey , I was trying to chroot and make changes into the image , but then something funny happened and mouse in my 13.04 installation stopped working | 20:19 |
| wilee-nilee | dumnut, I would resize windows with its disk manager | 20:19 |
| killer | no clicks not even moving | 20:20 |
| FesterJester | @dumnut: if Windows is already installed, put ubuntu on the right and leave Windows on the left | 20:20 |
| Toaster_Strudel | what is the deal with the new ubuntu? How do I use this GUI? | 20:20 |
| Toaster_Strudel | all my windows get cut off from that thing on the left | 20:20 |
| jenson | is it possible to dualboot Ubuntu and windows 8.1 with Ubuntu being on a portable hard drive | 20:21 |
| Toaster_Strudel | oh and now my irssi window is maximized but not sure how to restore window | 20:21 |
| dumnut | hi wilee-nilee, thank-you for suggestion, but would it not be simpler to resize from ubuntu install disk? does that work ok? | 20:21 |
| wilee-nilee | jenson, yes but a portable will run slow if at all | 20:21 |
| Toaster_Strudel | oooh i see that part | 20:21 |
| FesterJester | @jenson: Look at a persistant live USB | 20:22 |
| dumnut | FesterJester: hmm, that is easy to follow direction, thank-you for help | 20:22 |
| Toaster_Strudel | how do we enable x on the cd rom? I need to install "guest additions" | 20:22 |
| wilee-nilee | dumnut, Yes it works, however on occasion people brick the windows this way, do you have a image/clone of windows? | 20:22 |
| Smrtz | MonkeyDust: "echo "export PATH=~/Builds/wgetpate2-2.23/wgetpaste | 20:22 |
| jenson | wilee-nilee i only have a 120 gb ssd in my laptop so i dont think its enough space for both | 20:22 |
| FesterJester | @dumnut: no problem | 20:22 |
| rawrmonster | Is there a way to have a sandbox for "risky software installs"? | 20:23 |
| dumnut | wilee-nilee: i will buy this computer used tomorrow so no clone. i will only use windows when i apply for telemartketing job and ha ve to use their softwares | 20:23 |
| === urterror is now known as Patero-ng | ||
| === joar is now known as joar-irssi | ||
| === joar-irssi is now known as joar` | ||
| wilee-nilee | dumnut, Sure however how do you feel on it being bricked and unusable? Like you wear a seatbelt when you drive, just in case there is an accident. image/clone the stuff or backup what you can't afford to loose. | 20:25 |
| Toaster_Strudel | rawrmonster: nothing is full proof, best take it offline | 20:25 |
| Toaster_Strudel | rawrmonster: but there is something called sandboxie | 20:25 |
| dumnut | wilee-nilee: hmm good idea to clone. so then i clone windows then partition using ubuntu install disk? | 20:26 |
| FesterJester | Anyone know how to parse the output from shred into something like YAD or Zenity? | 20:27 |
| wilee-nilee | dumnut, That works, If it were me I would resize with windows, for two reasons safer, and you reboot for the auto chkdsk run when it's resized, then boot ubuntu to install. The clone though is a good start, hjowever depending on the cloner you have a copy that has to go to the same size partition, so keep that in mind if it's before the resize. | 20:28 |
| QuantumRenegade | hi guys | 20:28 |
| QuantumRenegade | which is better in personal opinion 13.04 or 12.04 ? | 20:29 |
| wilee-nilee | QuantumRenegade, no polling here please | 20:29 |
| QuantumRenegade | k soz where would i be able to find out ? | 20:29 |
| dumnut | wilee-nilee: good suggestion. thank-you for your help. | 20:30 |
| wilee-nilee | QuantumRenegade, 12.04 has 5 years support 13.04 9 months, you have to consider your needs. | 20:30 |
| k1l_ | QuantumRenegade: everyone got another usecase. just make it clear if you want a stable release for the next 5 years or if you want to upgrade every half year | 20:30 |
| QuantumRenegade | i installed ver 13 .... and its seems its missing features that is in 12// is there a way for me to install those missing features ? | 20:30 |
| wilee-nilee | !details | QuantumRenegade | 20:31 |
| ubottu | QuantumRenegade: 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 ..." | 20:31 |
| k1l_ | QuantumRenegade: depends on the features | 20:31 |
| FesterJester | @QuantumRenegade: 10.04 is better, but it is no longer supported or allowed to be talked about in these chats | 20:31 |
| QuantumRenegade | i see | 20:31 |
| QuantumRenegade | how does one enable the message in the launcher in unity ? | 20:31 |
| QuantumRenegade | or whats it called... | 20:31 |
| QuantumRenegade | *facebook / social network messageing | 20:32 |
| k1l_ | FesterJester: dont do that | 20:32 |
| unknown98 | wow | 20:32 |
| unknown98 | pidgin! | 20:32 |
| wilee-nilee | FesterJester, You can tab complete nicks, and personal opinions sre subjective, and 10.04 the desktop is eol hardly relevant for bothe reasons | 20:32 |
| wilee-nilee | are* | 20:32 |
| FesterJester | My appologies | 20:32 |
| k1l_ | QuantumRenegade: sorry, i dont know what you mean. do you mean empathy or "friends" application? | 20:32 |
| killer | any helpp , how can i reinstall or make my mouse work again | 20:32 |
| unknown98 | why do you use facebook? I don't get it | 20:32 |
| thnee | when using an alternative dekstop (awesome), opening magnet links in chrome with xdg-open does not open in deluge, even though gconf-editor says that it should | 20:32 |
| thnee | I tried running gnome-settings-daemon, but it didnt help. Any other daemons I should be running? | 20:33 |
| QuantumRenegade | whats the difference kil ? | 20:33 |
| k1l_ | QuantumRenegade: empathy is the multimessenger from gnome. for friends see : http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/04/gwibber-not-in-ubuntu-13-04-install-friends | 20:34 |
| killer | I can't even google as mouse is not working | 20:34 |
| QuantumRenegade | is friends quite simliar than pidgin ? | 20:34 |
| wilee-nilee | killer, Is this a mouse that worked from the get go, have you tried it in another OS? | 20:35 |
| wilee-nilee | in other words is it still working at all | 20:35 |
| killer | wilee-nilee: It was working before I deleted some folder from /tmp | 20:36 |
| k1l_ | QuantumRenegade: empathy is more like pidgin (imho) | 20:36 |
| killer | It was working for last 5 months | 20:36 |
| eer | What is the exec command used for? I don't see any use. | 20:37 |
| QuantumRenegade | ah i knopw what i wanted to ask.... the lense for social networking | 20:37 |
| QuantumRenegade | is that enabled in ver 13 ? | 20:37 |
| unknown98 | ccccccc | 20:37 |
| k1l_ | QuantumRenegade: there are 2 ubuntu versions a year. so there is 13.04 and 13.10 | 20:37 |
| unknown98 | I use xubuntu | 20:37 |
| wilee-nilee | killer, did it work without any special install to begin with, have you tried it on another OS to confirm it is not just broke, or maybe needs a battery if relevant. | 20:38 |
| k1l_ | QuantumRenegade: yes its enabled. you just need to set the online accounts in the system setting | 20:38 |
| k1l_ | s | 20:38 |
| QuantumRenegade | crap i see... apologies... still new at ubuntu | 20:38 |
| QuantumRenegade | online accounts ? | 20:38 |
| k1l_ | QuantumRenegade: see the system settings overview. | 20:38 |
| QuantumRenegade | ah got it tx | 20:39 |
| killer | wilee-nilee: I have fedora20 dual-booted and it is working fine in fedora | 20:39 |
| wilee-nilee | killer, this is after this incident? | 20:39 |
| QuantumRenegade | now i am more enlightemed :) even my cat is smiling | 20:39 |
| wilee-nilee | killer, read the questions you are not answering them. | 20:40 |
| killer | wilee-nilee: Fedora is installed for more than a week and It did not broke anything, and yes it worked without any special install | 20:41 |
| unknown98 | fedora vs ubuntu | 20:42 |
| killer | wilee-nilee: further , now ubuntu is displaying the incorrect time | 20:43 |
| killer | anyway to correct the time without mouse | 20:43 |
| unknown98 | k | 20:43 |
| bekks | sure, sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org | 20:43 |
| wilee-nilee | killer, I can't help, sorry | 20:43 |
| nisstyre | bekks: theoretically you should only do that once at boot IIRC | 20:44 |
| eer | What is the exec command used for? I don't see any use. | 20:44 |
| killer | wilee-nilee: atleast , you can help me correct the time using terminal only | 20:44 |
| nisstyre | eer: it executes code | 20:44 |
| bekks | killer: I just told the command. | 20:44 |
| eer | so does just typing the program name | 20:44 |

| Ubuntivity | I'll try pinging now | 21:18 |
| wilee-nilee | MrDHat_, works now? | 21:18 |
| MrDHat_ | wilee-nilee: That means, gnome is detecting a display which does not exist! | 21:19 |
| confoundedpangol | What are the possible reasons something would something work in the shell interpreter, but not as an executable script? | 21:19 |
| MrDHat_ | wilee-nilee: No | 21:19 |
| unknown98 | O:-) | 21:19 |
| k1l_ | confoundedpangol: fullpaths | 21:19 |
| MrDHat_ | wilee-nilee: Is there a way I can disable a secondary monitor via CLI? | 21:19 |
| confoundedpangol | an executable bash script that is.. | 21:19 |
| Ubuntivity | hitsujiTMO: I CAN'T ping the mobile from the affected laptop :/ what can cause that? | 21:20 |
| wilee-nilee | MrDHat_ a bit of a confusing description, mixed with your own theory and no question answering, not sure what is really going on to be honest. | 21:20 |
| hitsujiTMO | Ubuntivity: can you ping from the other laptop? | 21:21 |
| geirha | chull: Not sure where to start looking. I guess booting the Ubuntu 13.04 Desktop cd/dvd/usb, choose to "try ubuntu", and then see if the blanking happens then as well | 21:21 |
| confoundedpangol | @kll - The commands aren't directory related. For instance.. history -c && history -w (to clear the .bash_history) works in the interpreter, but not as a script. (12.04) | 21:21 |
| wilee-nilee | !tab | confoundedpangol | 21:21 |
| ubottu | confoundedpangol: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 21:21 |
| Ubuntivity | hitsujiTMO: Yes I can ping from the other laptop normally | 21:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | Ubuntivity: which of the 3 ips is the mobile? | 21:22 |
| chull | i'll get him to test with a cd .. could it be hardware, like a capacitor discharing? | 21:22 |
| Ubuntivity | hitsujiTMO: 195 | 21:22 |
| === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler | ||
| geirha | chull: I guess it could be related to the graphics card, either hardware or software, or it could be some bug in one of the running program that makes it send signals to blank the screen. | 21:22 |
| Ubuntivity | hitsujiTMO: it was 140 first but I changed it when I was trying to get the problem fixed, and you can see it still isn't. | 21:23 |
| hitsujiTMO | ubuntivity: not netmask then. | 21:23 |
| hitsujiTMO | Ubuntivity: is there a firewall up on the laptop? | 21:23 |
| confoundedpangol | ubottu - yup, But again, the command doesn't pass an argument containing a path. Nor does it have to be invoked while in a certain directory. If someone wants to try.. give it a go. | 21:24 |
| ubottu | confoundedpangol: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 21:24 |
| confoundedpangol | $ history -c && history -w | 21:24 |
| confoundedpangol | works to clear bash history | 21:24 |
| geirha | chull: If it is anything like that, then the live session should have the same symptom | 21:24 |
| confoundedpangol | but | 21:24 |
| Ubuntivity | hitsujiTMO: Probably the firewall allows ssh connection since I CAN connect to it from the other laptop | 21:24 |
| wylde | confoundedpangol, a missing shebang '#/bin/bash' as the leading line would prevent it from working. | 21:24 |
| Ubuntivity | hitsujiTMO: *apparently rather that 'probably' | 21:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | Ubuntivity: disable the firewall completely and test again. | 21:24 |
| confoundedpangol | wylde - checked that too.. other commands work fine.. just the history clearing doesn't. | 21:25 |
| Ubuntivity | hitsujiTMO: how can I disable it? | 21:25 |

| FourFire | ok so I have situation> 2 disk partitions | 21:53 |
| FourFire | one of them is old windows with lots of space, NFTS and some files i want to keep | 21:54 |
| FourFire | the other is Ubuntu, ext4, and too small | 21:54 |
| wilee-nilee | FourFire, Can you take a screenshot of gparted and imagebin it? | 21:54 |
| dentboy | yes | 21:54 |
| FourFire | I\m on this computer booted from an USB Ubuntu, same version as installed on the HD 12.04 | 21:55 |
| wilee-nilee | FourFire, This a partition resize or a install | 21:55 |
| k1l_ | FourFire: i prefer windows to shrink their partitions on their own. after that i would use a livesystem with gparted to extend the ubuntu partition | 21:55 |
| wilee-nilee | same here | 21:55 |
| FourFire | rresize | 21:55 |
| FourFire | I want to keep the files though so I probably need atleast two seperate operations | 21:56 |
| FourFire | one to reduce the disk size as much as possible | 21:56 |
| FourFire | then manually transfer the files over to Ubuntu side | 21:56 |
| FourFire | then resize away the rest of the space and add to Ubuntu portion | 21:56 |
| k1l_ | FourFire: like i said. windows got own tools to shrink their partitions. | 21:56 |
| FourFire | there is one last issue | 21:56 |
| qdtjo | what is required to change ownership of a file? | 21:56 |
| Ubuntivity | qdtjo: root permission | 21:57 |
| FourFire | the drive is sortof old and has exactly 200 Bad blocks | 21:57 |
| k1l_ | qdtjo: chown | 21:57 |
| qdtjo | Ubuntivity: why? | 21:57 |
| FourFire | so I need to do something to prevent those being included | 21:57 |
| Ubuntivity | sudo chown | 21:57 |
| k1l_ | FourFire: you should make a backup anyway | 21:57 |
| qdtjo | I dont have sudo access. | 21:57 |
| delimax | FourFire: preclude. | 21:58 |
| k1l_ | qdtjo: depends on the file and the location if root rights are needed | 21:58 |
| wylde | qdtjo, if you own the files you don't need root perms | 21:58 |
| minimec | FourFire: And if you decided to backup the files you need and format the whole partition to ext4 and set it as your new /home in /etc/fstab? In case you don't need that windows installation anymore. | 21:58 |
| dentboy | does anyone here understand something of sony las vegas | 21:58 |
| qdtjo | k1l_: it was dropped by another user into my ~ directory | 21:58 |
| FourFire | k1l_: infortunately doing anything from the windows side would be impossible... unless I could make a USB bootable with it, but I don\t have a spacre 8GB one | 21:59 |
| k1l_ | dentboy: this is a ubuntu support channel. is this related to ubuntu support? | 21:59 |
| qdtjo | wylde: so owning the directory its in doesnt count? | 22:00 |
| wylde | qdtjo, then you'll need them to chown it or use sudo unless their user and your user are in the same group and you both have them group perms. | 22:00 |
| k1l_ | qdtjo: see the rights of that file with "ls -al file" while beeing in that folder | 22:00 |
| wylde | qdtjo, if you ls -la the directory, who owns the file? | 22:00 |

| UrielVigilant | k1l: i will try ti , so . thanks once again ! | 22:02 |
| k1l_ | mojtaba: ask the ubuntu-tweak guys. its 3rd party software | 22:02 |
| wylde | qdtjo, the file itself | 22:02 |
| qdtjo | wylde: another user owns the file. | 22:02 |
| mojtaba | k1l_: Do you know how can I ask them? | 22:02 |
| wylde | qdtjo, try chowning it, I'm betting it's not going to not allow it. Unless, like I mentioned your user and the other user are in the same group with the same group permissions. | 22:03 |
| Elliot_ | I'm new to Ubuntu, but whenever I try to install something I get the message: lyut@Lyut:~$ sudo apt-get install weechat Reading package lists...

| mojtaba | k1l_: ok, thanks | 22:04 |

| k1l_ | Elliot_: do you have PPAs active? | 22:05 |
| wylde | Gallomimia, you're welcome :) | 22:05 |
| Elliot_ | Then it when I run apt-get -f install, I get Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13:permission denied) | 22:05 |
| Elliot_ | Uh PPAs? | 22:05 |
| FourFire | that image host is being picky | 22:06 |
| jakemp | when I press the super key, the menu is opening behind existing windows. | 22:06 |
| geirha | Elliot_: permission denied because you're not running it as root (e.g. with sudo) | 22:06 |
| jakemp | That's not super useful. | 22:06 |
| k1l_ | Elliot_: 3rd party software or 3rd party software sources. see "ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d" | 22:06 |
| qdtjo | wylde: nope chown: changing ownership of ‘myfile’: Operation not permitted | 22:06 |
| Elliot_ | Ahh I see thanks ^^ | 22:06 |
| FourFire | @sudo fsck -t ext4 -l bad-blocks-result /dev/sda1@ yeah unfortunately I dont have a spare drive for that, otherwise I would have simply done so | 22:06 |
| wylde | qdtjo, then either the file owner has to modify the permissions or a user with sudo access has to. | 22:07 |
| qdtjo | too bad.. thanks. | 22:07 |
| FourFire | this problem is solved in two weeks when I can afford to buy an external drive and fix it, but I\m wondering whether It can be fixed without it | 22:07 |
| FourFire | Hey if I learn something from the process thats good right? | 22:07 |
| wylde | FourFire, always :) | 22:08 |
| k1l_ | FourFire: honestly, on an old drive with already some (or alot) badblocks i would not change anything without having a backup | 22:08 |
| qdtjo | wylde: other user is getting the same error. | 22:09 |
| aknagi | I have a machine running ubuntu in my bedroom that has movies. Can I watch those movies on my stock xbox 360 in the living room? | 22:10 |
| FourFire | k1l then I wait two weeks and backup and try to do it the hard way nyway ;) | 22:10 |
| FourFire | thanks guys | 22:10 |
| wylde | qdtjo, hmmm, then it looks like you'll need an admin to look after it. Perhaps you'll at least get access to the file if just chmod it. DOn't do this to other files just this one so you can get a working copy. Have them 'chmod 0777 filename' make a copy for yourself to work with. Should work. | 22:12 |

| qdtjo | wylde: I was thinking of something similar 'cat hisfile > myfile' | 22:13 |
| bekks | system_: Not without reinstalling or restoring your backup | 22:13 |
| k1l_ | system_: no, no revert possible. | 22:13 |
| Gallomimia | system_: easier to recover files and reinstall, or fix it | 22:13 |
| k1l_ | system_: which video card and which driver (installed from where?) | 22:13 |
| wylde | qdtjo, if you can read the file then yes that should work as well. | 22:13 |
| Elliot_ | How do I get rid of the EULA on Terminal when it just has <OK> at the bottom? | 22:14 |

| Elliot_ | Oh right | 22:15 |
| Elliot_ | sorry ahah | 22:15 |

| rel82me | anyone care to share a best list of unbuntu software? | 22:30 |

| Gabboz | Hi. Ubuntu 12.04. How can I launch the "startup applications" program from the command line? I looked in /usr/share/applications but couldn't see anything relevant. Thanks. | 22:33 |

| UrielVigilant | I should belong to a team to be able to create a new webpage on wiki, explaining how i have installed scanner Epson sx130 on Ubuntu13.10 with your help of course ? | 22:34 |
| minimec | uruloke: Have a look in the <keyboard<shortcuts menu, under 'Navigation'. The shortcuts should be listed there. | 22:34 |
| Gabboz | I think I found it.. gnome-session-properties | 22:34 |
| noiro | Can someone help me with xchat? My chat cursor is thick and replaces letters I"m hovering over with letters I type. I think I hit a shortcut but not sure which one | 22:36 |
| minimec | uruloke: Do you have the unity tweak tool installed? | 22:36 |
| uruloke | minimec: oh just booted the ubuntu 13.10 up and another problem came too lol :D it doesn't turn my screen on after having it on suspend | 22:36 |
| uruloke | minimec: not anymore, but i had in the start | 22:37 |
| minimec | uruloke: Just use the 'brightness' key... | 22:37 |
| vlt | noiro: Try the ins key. | 22:37 |
| noiro | vlt: Thanks. Must have accidentally mashed it | 22:38 |
| system_ | can i load a usbdrive with ubtu 13.04 from a terminal seesion? | 22:38 |
| uruloke | minimec: doesn't work, it's not the light, there is simply no power at all in my screen. and oh can see in navigation that somehow it it bound to shift+super+page+up instead | 22:39 |
| minimec | uruloke: Well the unity tweak tool does some changes sometimes, that you can only 'undo' with the tweak tool itself or the 'ccsm' conpiz config manager. That might have influenced the desktop settings. | 22:39 |

| uruloke | minimec: still have to force shutdown after closing the computer with suspend, sorry for wrong info before, there is power in the screen, but there is no picture at all, just totally black. i canøt take the light up. | 22:43 |
| vlt | system_: Check that there’s no file system currently mounted (in read/write mode) while you write to the raw device. | 22:44 |
| minimec | uruloke: In that state... can you switch to a console with <ctrl><alt>F1 and back with <alt>F7 ? | 22:45 |

| uruloke | minimec: the screen just keep being totally black and doesn't react to anything | 22:47 |

| nickgaw | Hi, What command can I run from ssh to update to the next version of ubuntu? I tried do-release-update but that failed so I restored to my earlier backup and am trying to do the upgrade over ssh. | 23:12 |
| bekks | nickgaw: "that failed" - how? | 23:12 |
| nickgaw | well I am totally blind and use the orca screen reader but when I finished the upgrade and logd in orca did not start after I logd in I am on gnome classic should this matter? | 23:13 |

| tinman | what options are available if i want to monitor network traffic? (KB usage.) my network consists of linux/windows PCs and android devices. | 23:16 |
| jakemp | Any ideas why fullscreen youtube video and the Ubuntu start menu(I forget the name) appear behind any windows I have open> | 23:16 |
| tinman | and 2 routers | 23:17 |
| Thalheim | tinman, you can set up a proxy server on your local network, and route all traffic through that | 23:18 |
| tinman | you might have enabled the window view to always on top (in browser or file manager or whatever it is thats always on top) | 23:18 |
| tinman | Thalheim, what do you suggest? i was thinking maybe pfsense. i tried nagios but thats not what its for i guess | 23:18 |
| tinman | if it must be a standalone system, all i have is a Duron 900 w/ RAM and IDE HDD | 23:19 |
| seronis | tinman, the network stats used in DD-WRT what you're looking for? | 23:19 |
| tinman | thats all i got to dedicate to this if it cant run on one of the existing systems | 23:19 |
| tinman | i need something that my roomate can open and see the traffic usage for the entire network in real time and understand without an IT degree | 23:20 |
| Thalheim | tinman, you can run it on a raspberry pi, even. pfsense is great if you're using it on a medium sized home network or larger | 23:20 |
| Thalheim | or to learn | 23:20 |
| tinman | sounds good | 23:20 |
| seronis | the bandwidth monitoring tab in ddwrt shows live dataq | 23:21 |
| tinman | flashing the firmware is a little more risk than im willing to take | 23:22 |
| seronis | your call. it wasnt any more difficult to install on my routers than rooting my phone | 23:23 |

| swift110_ | hello all | 23:25 |
| tinman | i've seen a lot of failed upgrades. if your on a laptop, there is bug with closing the lid casuing the system to sleep, regardless of settings. the fix is a manual rewrite of a config file | 23:25 |
| ausxxh | the first line seems OK, why the second line errs? they're duplicated? | 23:25 |
| schultza | ouch | 23:25 |

| Denyerec | It does not | 23:34 |
| ausxxh | use the same sources.list. both on amd64, from desktop and laptop, same network, gave me different results for apt-get update??? that's unbelievable | 23:34 |
| Denyerec | When I run vmware-hgfsclient I can see the share name listed | 23:34 |

| tking0036 | does -b allow curl to set cookies if you are reading from an existing cookie file | 23:40 |
| hitsujiTMO | Denyerec: iirc, the build scripts for the kernel modules required for the extra features in vmware player/workstation target kernel 2.6. the builds fail on ubuntu due to the much newer kernel and therefore those extra features do not work. (same with modules for vmware tools) | 23:40 |
| Denyerec | That makes some sense, at least. Is there a workaround ? | 23:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | Denyerec: not that i know of | 23:41 |
| === Guest2924 is now known as Khisanth | ||
| Denyerec | Hmm. | 23:42 |
| Denyerec | So I'm either stuck on VMware with no shares, or stuck on Virtualbox with one screen,. | 23:42 |
| Denyerec | (Multiple desktops don't work in Virtualbox due to Unity) | 23:42 |
| hitsujiTMO | only fixes i have get past the detecting kernel headers, but the builds still fail | 23:42 |
| Denyerec | Multiple monitors work in VMWare, but the shared folders don't | 23:42 |
| hitsujiTMO | Denyerec: you could use nfs shares or samba shares | 23:43 |
| Denyerec | Yeah. | 23:43 |
| Denyerec | I think the workaround here is to just use a cifs share and stick to VMware | 23:43 |
| Denyerec | At least I can fix that, wheras I cannot seem to get two screens working in VBox | 23:43 |
| tinman | Denyerec, are the systems on the same network/workgroup/domain/subnet? | 23:43 |
| Denyerec | Yeah it's just Host->Guest | 23:44 |
| Denyerec | (VM) | 23:44 |
| Denyerec | Except for some reason bridged networking is broken. | 23:44 |
| Denyerec | (VMware) | 23:44 |
| tinman | yes but is that all stuff matching on both systems? (do you not have samba installed?) | 23:44 |
| Denyerec | Well it's NAT'd to the same subnet | 23:45 |
| Denyerec | so I can just set up a Samba share. | 23:45 |
| Denyerec | I was just trying to get VMware shared folders to work as I thought (HAH!) it'd be easier and faster. | 23:45 |
| Denyerec | 4 hours later... ;) | 23:45 |
